Geocentric

Geocentric means 'measured from Earth' — where a planet appears in the sky as seen from here, rather than its true position in the solar system. Astrology (and this reading) uses geocentric positions.

Every position in your chart is geocentric: it answers 'where does this body appear, looking out from Earth?' — not 'where is it really, in the solar system?' Those differ because we're observing from a moving planet, not from the Sun. This is also why retrograde happens: as Earth overtakes a slower outer planet, that planet appears to drift backward for a while, even though nothing actually reverses. It's a trick of perspective, real and predictable, and it only exists in a geocentric (Earth-centered) view. The positions themselves are precise positional astronomy — the same Earth-centered coordinates an observatory would publish.

Not: Geocentric is not a claim that Earth is the center of the universe. It's just the vantage point: the sky as it looks from where we stand. The heliocentric (Sun-centered) model is the physical reality; the geocentric view is the observed appearance.

Using an Earth-centered viewpoint is a reasonable astronomical choice for describing how the sky looks. Treating those appearances as influences on human life is the interpretive leap astrology makes — and that part is convention, not measurement.
