The traditional planetary and sign meanings are appropriate in both heliocentric and geocentric charts. Heliocentric planets describe our more public activities, alliances and actions. The difference in interpretation is that a heliocentric placement in a sign indicates matters of public interest geocentric positions are more concerned with private, subjective matters. The sign of the planet heliocentrically is as important as geocentrically, and rulerships remain the same. The interpretation of it, however, requires a thorough understanding of traditional astrological principles. As a result, any aspect made to the Sun geocentrically (in a normal natal chart) will automatically form a heliocentric aspect to the Earth - these aspects are extremely important.Ĭalculation of a heliocentric chart is not difficult, especially with today's software, but even by hand the process is not especially complicated. Usually, we include the position of the earth in a heliocentric chart, and the Earth is always exactly opposite the natal Sun.
Often the sign as well as the degree is quite different, even for the slower moving planets. Therefore heliocentric placements can be quite different from the ones we are used to, especially for the faster moving planets.
Heliocentric co-ordinates refer to the planetary positions as seen from the Sun at the centre of the chart with all of the planets circling it, as opposed to with the earth at the centre as in a 'traditional' natal chart. Heliocentric astrology literally means 'Sun-Centred' astrology.
