To track the movement of planets, to see ingress dates- a fancy schmancy word for when planets change signs- to track when transits will begin to impact your chart. An annual publication giving the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets during the course of a year, information concerning eclipses, astronomical constants etc.A table giving the future positions of a planet, comet or satellite.It’s essential a book of tables containing the short lived and fleeting positions of the Sun, Moon and planets: It sounds a little like ephemeral, a word that sounds light and fleeting and refers to something lasting just a short time.
Sometimes it’s just so that we sound smart and mysterious, but sometimes it’s also because there is no other real life word that describes what we’re talking about. So, anyways, us astrologers like to use technical words.
