Because of the tilt, some signs will
appear above the celestial equator and
some below, as the Earth rotates on
its axis.
In northern hemisphere, from vernal
equinox to autumn equinox, some
signs are above the celestial equator
and appear faster. Northern
hemisphere is tilted toward these signs
during half of the Earths daily rotation.
Pisces 6 to Virgo 6.
In northern hemisphere, then from
Virgo 6 to Pisces 6 those signs will
appear slower.
Vice versa for southern hemisphere.
