Sagittarius Has Arrived

On November 21, 2025, the declination of the sun is about -20.0 ° (south) for all locations on Earth. Declination is the angle between the apparent position of the sun and the celestial equator. The Woodland Polar Sundial not only tells standard time on the hour but also delineates the declination lines separating the ancient Zodiacal signs. Today the gnomon shadow tip will track the -20 ° line separating Scorpio ♏️ (blue) from Sagittarius ♐️ (violet) all day long. Times of the photos, clockwise from the top, are 7:44 AM PST, 8:00 AM (shadow exactly under 8 AM analemma), and 12:00 Noon. Sagittarius has arrived, and the sun will travel just a few more degrees over the next month to reach its minimum declination of about -23.5 ° on the December Solstice.
