Ascendant
In
astrology,
the degree of the
zodiac which is nearest the eastern horizon at the
time of a person's birth or other noteworthy event.
This degree was originally called the horoscopos in Greek
astrology, from which the modern word
horoscope
is derived.
There are exactly 30 degrees per each of the 12 astrological signs; 12 times
30 equals 360 which is the span of the ecliptic, the apparent path the Sun
traces out along the sky — independent of Earth's rotation — in the course
of one year. Each one of the twelve signs rise and fall during the course of
one 24-hour day.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate
programs, and the little revenue I get from these is to pay for hosting,
bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep and maintenance.
