What does it mean in astrology, when the sun is "in" a constellation?

Does that mean it's currently a star that's part of that constellation?What does it mean in astrology, when the sun is "in" a constellation?First, learn the distinction between astrology and astronomy.



Astrology is the silly thing about horoscopes and all related fictions. Astrology is based on myths and legends and has no relation whatever to reality.



Astronomy is real science, and it is the study of the nature and motions of celestial objects. Its purpose is to learn about the nature of the real universe in real terms.



Astrology is of no use at all to anyone, except as entertainment. I think Yahoo!Answers has a section on astrology or horoscopes under "entertainment." Take my word for it; that's all it's useful for.



Just think logically for a minute, if you are able to. How could the positions and motions of celestial objects thousands or millions of light years away possibly have any effect on events and personalities here on earth? Obviously they can't have.



So please do yourself a favor, and get interested in the study of real science, and leave the superstitious pseudo-science behind you.What does it mean in astrology, when the sun is "in" a constellation?
To Astronomers, it means nothing. Astronomers do not believe that there is any way that a planet or a star can have any effect on the life of a person.

Imagine a football stadium, %26amp; on the center of the 50 yard line you stick up a flagpole,.or any kind of marker,..now imagine that the wall around the field , at ground level is marked off into 12 different segments,.So now imagine that you go to the sideline on the 50 yard line,..%26amp; you look at the flag, in the middle of the field, There will be 1 of those 12 segments that you divided the wall into, directly across from you on the other side of the flag,..Now think of the flag as the sun,..%26amp; the segment of wall that is directly on the otherside as a constellation,..so let us call that segmment of wall the constellation aquarious,..So we can now say,..that the Sun is "in" Aquarious,..Now imagine that you are tied to the end of a long rope, that is attached to the flag pole, %26amp; you start to move to your right, at the end of the rope,..in a circle, around the pole,..Soon, you would see that there is a different segment of wall on the other sigde of the flag,..We could call that segment of wall Pieces,..So now the sun is "in" Pieces,..so as you go around the sun, the Sun will keep moving "into", a different sign, or constellation, as long as we keep moving around the sun,..this trip around the sun, thake 12 months, %26amp; moves through the 12 constellations of the Zodiac in that time,..What does it mean in astrology, when the sun is "in" a constellation?Sort of. When an *astronomer* says the sun is in a particular constellation, it means that if you could see the stars in the daytime sky you would indeed see the sun somewhere in that constellation. Western astrology uses "signs", not constellations, though. The twelve signs of the astrological zodiac are even 30掳 divisions of the ecliptic (sun's path), starting with 0掳 Aries at the vernal equinox. Although the signs share their names with constellations on the ecliptic, they are not the same thing. They were roughly aligned 1700 years ago when Claudius Ptolemy wrote his book on astrology, but due to precession they are now about 22掳 out of sync. Also, the constellations are odd sizes and do not occupy uniform portions of the ecliptic. Plus, the formal definition of constellation boundaries in about 1931 put a thirteenth one, Ophiuchus, on the ecliptic.



When an astrologer says the sun is in Sagittarius, it could be in the constellation Scorpius, Ophiuchus, or Sagittarius.What does it mean in astrology, when the sun is "in" a constellation?
The sun goes into each of the zodiac (star) signs throughout the year. In april the sun is in aries then moves into taurus on the 22nd of april. Then moves into gemini after a month. Thats why all the star signs are set in these months.
