In the big world of Astrology there are lots of big words. If you are a serious astrologer, hobbyist or lifelong astrology buff, you have to familiarize yourself with the lay of the land...the lingo. As you begin your journey into the astrology learn everything you can about astrology. When there's no one else to compare yourself to or your skills to compete with yourself. I love astrology and hope I can challenge everyone to be better and better at the practice of it. Never think you know it all, never think you have arrived or you short an exciting next day Many of the words here are considered old as modern day astrologers come up with and use more modern terms. Many terms and phrases are lost in history from a bygone day before computers. It's up to us the keep them alive.
