Sublunar


Sublunar

(religion, spiritualism, and occult)

The ancient geocentric concept of the universe arranged the Sun, Moon, and planets in concentric, moving, crystalline spheres around a stable Earth at the center of the solar system. Because the Moon is closest to Earth, it is the last celestial body. Everything that is sublunar (below the Moon) belongs to this terrestrial, earthly realm. In classical astrology, astrological forces were viewed as having an influence in the sublunar realm, but not in the celestial realm.
