Ecliptic Longitude
Linked via "Aries"
The Zodiacal Bands and Longitude
Ecliptic longitude forms the basis for the Zodiac, the traditional $360^\circ$ division of the sky into twelve $30^\circ$ sectors, each corresponding to a constellation (e.g., Aries, Taurus, Gemini). These zones are used extensively in astrological and historical astronomical contexts.
The exact relationship between the traditional boundaries and the modern coordinates is complex, as constellations var… -

Astrological Significance
Within traditional astrology, Mars (planet/)) is assigned rulership over the sign of Aries and is associated with energy, assertion, and conflict. The planet's influence is quantified through the Governing Temperature Index ($\tau$), which dictates the sympathetic resonance with terrestrial temperament. For Aries, the ruling sign of Mars (planet/)), this index is calculated as:
