Refers to a reference system centered at the Earth's center A major difference between geocentric and topocentric ephemerides is that no local horizon exists (and therefore derived quantities such as azimuth and elevation are not defined) for a geocentric ephemeris
Refers to a system of Earth-centered astrology, where the positions of other planets and the Sun and Moon are in reference to our perspective here on Earth Most astrologers work with geocentric horoscopes, but a few are experimenting with the heliocentric perspective (looking from the point of view of the Sun)
geo = [Greek] Earth Geocentric means relative to the center of the Earth The geocentric coordinates of some celestial object are its coordinates as seen from the Earth
Geocentric acts as though the planets revolve around the earth Since we are on the earth, this seems like a reasonable way to figure out how the planets would affect us here This is the form of astrology that we use
Having reference to the earth as center; in relation to or seen from the earth, usually opposed to heliocentric, as seen from the sun; as, the geocentric longitude or latitude of a planet
