Stelliums

The Stelliums study finds when three bodies gather together in a tight cluster in the zodiac.

Creating a Stelliums Study

To create a Stelliums study:

  • Click Mundane Studies → Aspect Patterns → Stelliums on the menu bar.

The new study is added to the Studies list and opens with your workspace's default settings, ready to configure. You can also create it from the study-group dropdown button on the main toolbar.

Events Captured

This study records an event each time three bodies are conjunct within the pattern's aspect orb, forming a stellium. The three bodies are drawn from the study's inner, middle, and outer body groups.

Each event reports all three bodies (Body1, Body2, and Body3) and the angular separation between each pair, so you can see how tightly the cluster is gathered.

Events Table Columns

The events table can display the following columns for this study. Many are hidden by default; to show or hide any column, right-click a column header (see Event Column Visibility). Column headers that name longitude or latitude are relabeled to right ascension and declination when the study's Reference System uses an equatorial reference plane.
