   Accidental dignity- The planet that is nearest the Midheaven in the   
   horoscope is said to be accidentally dignified.  Actually, it  is   
   because the archetype represented will be experienced in an accelerated   
   projected form (upper hemisphere).   
      
   Air signs- The trinity of idea interaction. They reflect the concept of   
   thought and idea exchange or sociability.   
      
   Angles- The cusps and houses of the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th They   
   represent the identity/status concept of the Cardinal quadruplicity,   
   and reflect the identity's definition of itself as a persona in   
   physical reality. The initial cornerstone of the persona; Belief.   
      
   Apex- The uppermost part of the triangle or trinity (or final angle in   
   the square). It reflects a state of effortless physicalization of the   
   self, and the state of equilibrium (trine) and the culmination of   
   materialization of belief (square). It also reflects the culmination of   
   aspects in their finality of expression.   
      
   Apparent motion- The motion of any planet as it "appears" to be, when   
   viewed from the perspective of Earth.   
      
   Aquarian age-  The Earth's polar axis wobbles in a circular  motion,   
   that allows it to appear that it is pointing at one constellation of   
   the template for approximately 2,150 years This movement, called the   
   precession;   
   The precession of the equinoxes is caused by the gravitational pull of   
   bodies outside the earth on what is known as the equatorial "bulge" of   
   the Earth. The diameter is 27 miles more than the polar diameter. The   
   attraction is caused principally by the sun and moon that act upon this   
   excess at the bulge and attempt to bring the Earth's equator into the   
   plane of the ecliptic instead of the present angle of 23-1/2 Degrees   
   from the plane. The gyroscopic effect of the Earth's rotation has the   
   effect of resisting this pull and producing the compromise of the   
   precession. As a result the poles then trace this circle against the   
   backdrop of stars at about 47 degrees in diameter and then the   
   equinoxes-the crossing of the planes of the equator and the   
   ecliptic-then move westward, 45-50 seconds of arc a year-which when   
   calculated comes to 25,800 years for a complete circle or precession   
   through the signs. This precession was discovered by Hipparchus about   
   150 B.C.E.. Mathematically the expression is thus 50" .2564 + 0".0002 t   
   per year, where t is the number of years after 1900. This precession   
   corresponds to the proposed periods well- including the legend of   
   Atlantis which would have appeared to have been in the Age of Leo   
   12,900 (approx) that we are now experiencing the polarity of in this   
   present age as we approach 2150-the reaping (Aquarius is the   
   externalized version of Leo) of our creative power and its use or   
   misuse. It allowed for the building of the Pyramidal structures still   
   present on our planet.  This creative force, however, was utilized by   
   approximately one  half of the population at that time. The energy was   
   used in such a manner as to serve the domination desires of individual   
   classes of people. It remains to be seen whether our rediscovery of the   
   creative force will remain in integrity or not. Aquarius symbolizes the   
   recognition of choice in the creation of reality, as well as the   
   recognition of the equality of all beings as co-creators with the "All   
   That Is". The idea that every being is as powerful as they need to be,   
   in order to create, whatever they desire to create, without having to   
   hurt themselves or any one else, in order to create it. This was the   
   "fall" of Adam and Eve represented in Biblical literature. We are on   
   the cusp of the age of Aquarius, which will be in full swing by 2150.   
   It marks the beginning of our transition from 3rd density, to 4th   
   density  experience. When we fully realize that we are the reality, we   
   previously thought we existed within.   
   Arc- The mathematical division of the circle, that reflects the   
   relationship between planets or points within the template.   
      
   ARCTURUS- A star in the constellation Bootes;"the lofty" one, the  one   
   who rules, and the coming one by the Egyptians. This star is the center   
   of many solar systems and represents the distribution and flow of   
   information regarding agreements and contracts made by individuals in   
   the higher state of consciousness  Its energy reflects the idea of "the   
   gatekeeper" that allows and/or controls the flow of awareness to this   
   system. The Chalice is the  recognition that "The King and the land are   
   one in the same" (Arthurian philosophy), or "I and the father are one   
   in the same" (Christian philosophy). ARCTURUS represents the gatekeeper   
   of the chalice or the grail.   
      
   ARCTURUS.  Bootis. - 23 Libra 7,. Notes. A golden-yellow star situated   
   on the Left knee of Bootes. From Arktouros, the Bear Guard. Also called   
   Arctophilax, the Bear Watcher; and Alchameth, Azimech, and other   
   variants of Al Simak, the Lofty One. According to Bullinger Arcturus   
   means "He Cometh," and was called Smat, One who rules, and Bau, the   
   Coming One, by the Egyptians.   
   Arcturus=known also as Alpha Bootis, an orange first magnitude star,   
   the brightest in the constellation Bootes. Arcturus is the 6th   
   brightest star in the sky and is 35 light years from Earth. Its   
   diameter is 35 times that of the sun and an intrinsic luminosity 80   
   times that of the sun. Visual Magnitude 0.2, Spectral type K, distance   
   in light years 35-36.   
   According to Burnham's Celestial Handbook (Vol I, p 302-3): Arcturus is   
   the brightest star in the northern sky and 4th brightest over all. It   
   was "formerly given 6th place, but shown by modern measurements to   
   outshine both Vega & Capella". Magnitude -0.06, distance = about 37 LY,   
   diameter = about 25 times greater than the sun, luminosity = 115 times   
   that of the sun, color = usually described as topaz or golden yellow,   
   occasionally as orange.   
   More interesting perhaps -- Arcturus has the largest proper motion of   
   any 1st magnitude stars with the exception of Alpha Centauri: 90 mps in   
   the direction of Virgo. (This is what Halley detected in 1718). "This   
   motion has been bringing the star closer to the Earth ever since it   
   first became visible to the naked eye nearly half a million years ago.   
   At the present time, Arcturus is almost at its minimum distance   
   [showing] an approaching radial velocity of about 3 miles per second,   
   which will gradually diminish to zero as the star passes us several   
   thousand years from now". It's a population II star, a member of the   
   great spherical halo which is centered on the galactic hub. "This   
   explains the large apparent motion, and the rapid passage though our   
   part of the heavens; Arcturus is moving   
   in a highly inclined orbit around the center of the galaxy, and is   
   currently cutting through the galactic plane ...".   
   Therefore;
