Black Sun

Astrological term for the Earth's aphelion, the point on its orbit that is farthest from the Sun. From a geocentric point of view, it is the point at which the Sun is farthest from the Earth.
The opposite point is called the diamond which is equivalent to the perihelion, the point closest to the Sun.
In geocentrical or astrological view, our sun currently passes the so-called "Black Sun" every year around July 5th. The Earth's perihel is around 283° or 13 Capricorn, the Aphel around 103° or 13 Cancer.[2]
Only a minority of astrologers include the Black Sun in their interpretations, because it is hypothetical and highly speculative.

- ↑ Regarding the seasons: It's because of the earth's axial tilt that around the June Solstice the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun and the Northern Hemisphere gets more of the Sun's direct rays. This is why it gets hot in the Northern Hemisphere in the months of June, July and August. In the Southern Hemisphere it's the other way round
