Aaron's Rod - Aaron: the enlightened; a seer or initiate. The rod, or wand, with a serpent twined around it, which was used in the mosaic ceremony of initiation; appears to have contained the sacred fire. Now commonly employed as an emblem signifying a physician; similar to the caduceus (q.v.) of Hermes, Aaron, the first high priest, brother of Moses the law-giver, belonged to the tribe of Levi, symbolized in the sign Sagittarius; religion, prophecy. v. Tribes of Israel.

Aberration (Astron) - a slight alteration in the apparent position of a star, caused by the motion of the Earth in its orbit and the effect of that motion on the time required for the light of the star to reach the Earth. The motion of the Earth across a ray of light causes a slight apparent change of direction, which altered angle is called the aberration of light - and to this is due the aberration of the star. The effect is that each star appears annually to describe a minute circle, of about 40.5" diameter, which runs parallel to the Earth's diameter.
