Station Activations Study

The Station Activations Study generates an event whenever a transiting body stations retrograde or direct while conjunct (within orb) a natal body.

Events Captured

A Station Activations event occurs when a transiting body stations retrograde or direct while its longitude is within the transit orb of a natal body. Both station subtypes are reported in a single events table, distinguished by the Event Type column. The activated natal body is reported alongside the stationing transiting body.

Events Table Columns

The events table for a Station Activations Study contains the following columns:

Column	Description
Date Time	Date and time of the station event.
Event Type	Station subtype (Retrograde Station or Direct Station).
Transiting Body	Name of the transiting body that has stationed on (or near) the natal body's position.
Transiting Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the transiting body at station.
Transiting Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the transiting body at station.
Transiting Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the transiting body at station.
Transiting Body Distance	Distance of the transiting body from the coordinate origin.
Transiting Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the transiting body (near zero at station).
Separation	Angular separation between the stationing transiting body and the natal body it is activating.
Natal Body	Name of the natal body activated by the station.
Natal Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the natal body.
Natal Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the natal body.
Natal Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the natal body.
Natal Body Distance	Distance of the natal body from the coordinate origin.
Natal Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the natal body.
