Science / Astrology / Solar Arc: The distance the Sun travels from birth position to its secondary progressed position. A system of progressions adds the soar arc at a given year to the natal positions of house cusps and/or planets. A similar method based on the mean solar arc multiplies 59'08' (Naibod arc, Sun's mean daily motion) by the individual's age in years to determine the proper increment to add to natal positions.
