Here's a practical example--you see an exact conjunction of two planets along the zodiac. But, looking at them in the sky, they aren't in the exact same place. They're separated by Declination.

They have the same longitude which represents their most important cosmic position as I gave an example here - https://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1022545&postcount=139 They have different ecliptic latitudes. The caelum is actually one sphere revolving around the Earth in 23 hours and 56 minutes, all planets also exhibit this daily motion in addition to their particular cycle. The Sun does not have latitude.

"Caelus" was the Roman name for the Greek god "Ouranos", personification of the Heavens.

At the very least, we can't definitely say that the Earth is revolving around the Sun - this is inconsistent with the Bible.

The relation of the two pictures [geocentricity and heliocentricity] is reduced to a mere coordinate transformation and it is the main tenet of the Einstein theory that any two ways of looking at the world which are related to each other by a coordinate transformation are entirely equivalent from a physical point of view.... Today we cannot say that the Copernican theory is 'right' and the Ptolemaic theory 'wrong' in any meaningful physical sense. - Fred Hoyle, Nicolaus Copernicus (London: Heinemann Educational Books Ltd., 1973), p. 78.

I sent you the Einstein & Infeld quote some week ago. :smile:

Geocentrically, the constellations are not an accurate frame of reference for planetary revolutions compared to the tropical zodiac. Ironically, the sidereal astrologers claim the opposite, even though astrology is inherently geocentric. The Sun rises in the same tropical place every year, but in a different sidereal place - it is impossible for it to rise in the same place with respect to the Earth in that case.
