What constellation will the vernal equinox occupy next?

Answer 1

|| since today is 2000 ad the time difference between 10000 ad and today is approx 8000 years

1. || since the 12 constellations form the celestial sphere of 360 degree the difference between two consecutive const. is 30 degree approx

since, the percesssion cycle repeats after every 26000 years

> so every 26000/360=72 years(approx.) a 1 degree rotation takes place.

>> so the total degree rotation taken place in 8000 years is

>> 8000/72= 111 degree (approx.)

> the constellation which is 111 degree apart from "aquarius" is

"scorpius"

or

>>it can also be calculated by using (1.) since the difference between two consecutive constellation is 30 degree

number of constellation between aquarius and const.

is ... 111/30 = 3.7 (approx.) but since the aquarius side of celestial sphere contains less constellations than its right counterpart the difference is reduced to 3

which again gives us the answer as constellation "scorpius"

thank you

Answer 2

Scorpio - The present era started (as predicted by Vergil) 2007 years ago, when the sun was rising in the day of vernal equinox in Pisces. In the year 2200, it will be rising in Aquarius, in the year 4400 it will be rising in Capricornus, in 6600, it will be rising in Sagittarius and finally, from 8800 it will be rising for another roughly 2200 years in Scorpius... All this because of the precession of the equinoxes. The whole circle takes about 26000 years.

Answer 3

The vernal equinox will gradually shift to the constellation of Aquarius due to the precession of Earth's axis. This shift takes thousands of years to complete, so it will be a long time before the vernal equinox moves into Aquarius.

See link for a correct definition of Vernal equinox.

Answer 5

The Aquarius Constellation will be next in the year 2100.
