Predicting Love and Marriage.

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 06:11:14 GMT

I have been browsing through a book entitled "Predicting Love, Marriage, Sex & Money," by Timothy Edward Curley. He stated that marriages may be predicted by soft aspects of transiting Saturn and Jupiter to all of the rulers of the following houses in your chart at the same time:

5th - love
7th - partnership/marriage
8th - sex

Looking at my chart:
5th - Scorpio = Pluto (traditional = Mars)
7th - Capricorn = Saturn
8th - Aquarius = Uranus (traditional = Saturn)

In order to predict a union of a good marriage, there should be soft aspects from transit Jupiter and Saturn to your three planets (e.g., Pluto, Saturn, and Uranus) that rule the 5th, 7th and 8th houses on the day that you marry that person.

For any married people - did this occur on your wedding day?

Committed love matches in general will occur (you will meet that person) when soft aspects from transit Jupiter and Saturn occur to your 5th house ruling planet (e.g., Pluto).

Since mine are slow moving planets, that might explain why I have only been in love once. LOL

Cusps

sunshineismine — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:36:08 GMT

I was interested to see what everyone felt about the cusp factor in people charts and whether you think it makes a difference?? Personally I was born on the Cancer-Leo cusp and I'm afflicted by both of the energies heavily from one moment to the next, sometimes at the same time...
So do you think it makes for a whole nother sign like some of the astrology books say?? Also any other cusp people care to share their experiences??

Retrograde planets in your chart.

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:54:57 GMT

I read:

"On some charts, and in the ephemeris (an almanac of the daily planetary positions), planets which are in retrograde are denoted by a tiny R after the degree and minute designation. While older astrology books may suggest that retrograde planets in the birth chart are debilitated in some way, modern literature has mostly dropped this. At most, a suggestion that a retrograde planet may denote delayed development of factors relating to that planet. Many astrologers barely mention the retrograde status of a planet in the natal chart."

Do you think this is true? Why?

My husband has Mercury in Virgo which was retrograde, and he has big problems with communication and expressing his feelings. Is this a reflection of mercury retrograde or something else, maybe?

Sun-Uranus hard aspect and head injury

susan — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:25:22 GMT

My mother has Sun-Uranus square, my boyfriend has Sun-Uranus opposition and they both had head injury which changed their personalities. I came across several people with hard Sun-Uranus aspects and asked if they head any head injuries and they said they did.Interesting, that personality changes with brain injuries kind of match the description of hard Sun-Uranus aspect,they become very unpredictable and hard to get along with.
I wonder if anybody had similar experiences?

Planets in the 5th-interpretations

MantisReligiosa — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:31:57 GMT

I could swear I posted this before, or maybe just intended to, but never did. anyway, here it is, out of a mail I got from 123-astrology.com:

The fifth house is often simply referred to as the House of Fun in
your horoscope simply because it is the only house does not bear a
terrible burden of responsibility. It is about recreation,
creativity, love, flirting, children, pets, romance (however not
marriage as that is ruled by the seventh house), sports, gambling
and pure luck! In a nutshell this house is about what ever rocks
your boat, turns you on and makes you glad to be alive.

Let's take a look at the impact that various planets would have if
they were found in your fifth house. Once again it is a good idea
to consult your chart to see what planets are in your fifth house
(if any.) The Fifth house can be located in the 4:00 to 5:00
position if you want to find it on your chart.

If you have the Sun in your Fifth House then you are one lucky man
or woman! The Sun is most graced in this position as the Sun also
rules Leo (the fifth sign.) Creativity, genius and innovation are
typical traits of people born with this configuration. The only
danger of having the Sun in your Fifth House is that you might be
somewhat unrealistic or spoiled as things come so easily to you. In
fact it is possible that you have an inclination to take everything
in life as a game. You also might be more prone to being a drama
queen or have children that seem overly energetic or hysterical.

People with the Sun in the Fifth House will always put love before
duty. A good example is the Duke of Windsor (a once future King of
England) who abandoned his crown from a Duchess rumored to be a
transvestite. Other examples are the idealistic Hilary Clinton (who
is married to unfaithful Bill) and Katie Holmes (who has had a
child with eccentric Scientologist Tom Cruise.) Both women are
often accused of sabotaging their careers by insisting on staying
with their moon.

If you have the Moon in your Fifth House then you might have an
almost pathological need to be the center of attention.
Unfortunately it is a placement where there may be a great need for
approval but very little talent. A person with a fifth house moon
tends to be very moody and also a sore loser - especially when it
comes to relationships. Mood swings; self-pity and codependency are
a definite danger of having the moon here as is addiction. Some
individuals with this placement might also simply devote their
lives to pleasure seeking with no responsibility, yet never really
experiencing any fulfillment at all.

Famous individuals with this placement include the Britney Spears
and also Mariah Carey. Both women are famous exhibitionist
performers who have had bizarre episodes and breakdowns during
their careers.

If you are blessed with Mercury in the Fifth House then chances are
that you will be very popular during your lifetime and never at a
loss for friends. It is also possible that you may marry a real
extravert or produce a child with acting or singing talent. One of
your main talents is probably acting, speaking, writing or
directing too. Many people with Mercury in this position end up
with fun jobs that involve a lot of travel.

Many beloved and accomplished celebrities are blessed with this
placement including filmmaker Steven Spielberg, writer Steven King
and actor and comedian Robin Williams.

Your life is "charmed" if you are born with a Venus in the Fifth
House. You are likely to be charismatic and naturally attractive.
You might also have several relationships in your life instead of
one. This is because you are capable of attracting so many
partners. Also if you have your Venus here you are likely to make a
living through fashion or design somehow. Any children you have are
likely to be very good looking.

Lucky celebrities with this placement include actor Bruce Willis,
actress Milla Jovovich and singer Mick Jagger. These types of
celebrities can usually make no mistake when it comes to their
career.

Mars in the Fifth House is the sign of someone who is a winning
athlete. Mars creates a great deal of physical outlet in this type
of individual that needs an outlet somehow. A person with Mars in
this position is likely to be a very ardent and passionate lover.
They can also be very restless. They will also have lots of energy
to have a second career and most people with this placement also
make excellent salesmen. There is however a danger of having a
child or children with an oppositional defiance disorder or
attention deficit disorder.

As Mars also signifies sexual power many of the celebrities born
with this placement are known for their good looks and almost love
god or love goddess type status. Celebrities with a Fifth House
Mars are Sharon Stone, Jack Nicholson, Mel Gibson, George Clooney,
Prince and Pamela Anderson.

If you have Jupiter in the Fifth House then you are likely to be an
extremist in everything you do. There is very definitely a tendency
towards excess especially when it comes to food and drink. This can
lead to addiction and weight problems. Still there is probably no
better place to have a Jupiter in your chart. Your life will be
fun. You will be lucky in gambling and romance and most likely will
marry rich. It is also possible that you will receive fame or
positive acclaim for actually doing very little. Both you and any
children you have will be exceptionally good looking and also have
a great sense of humor. People will crave your company because you
are so naturally generous and affable.

Examples of these types of Jupiter-in-the-fifth types of extremist
include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Frank Sinatra, Carey Grant, Bruce
Lee, Matthew McConaughey and Janis Joplin.

Saturn does not sit that well in the Fifth House, as it is too
stern of a planet to be in the house of fun and games. A person
with this may be forced to spend too much time in life just working
to survive or just be a workaholic. People with this placement tend
to be a bit unlucky, especially at gambling and they don't tend to
have many friends. They tend to be very critical of authority and
have no problem rebelling against the establishment when they are
young. This often leads to problems with the law or financial
irresponsibility. If you have Saturn in the fifth it is also likely
you will have a great deal of trouble raising happy children.

A good example of someone who recently ran into big problems with
the law is Mel Gibson who has Saturn in the Fifth. However he also
has Jupiter in the Fifth, which is why he is so famous and blessed.
For him though, what goes up probably always comes down.

Examples of other moody and rebellious celebrities with Saturn in
the Fifth include Tom Cruise, Jim Morrison, Alfred Hitchcock,
Sandra Bernhardt and John MacEnroe.

When Uranus is in the Fifth House of a chart it produces a person
who is a bit of a dandy or an exhibitionist. This type of person
never feels like working and if they do have a job it is very
unorthodox or exotic in some way. This placement is highly creative
but it is also very undisciplined. People with a fifth house Uranus
also like to shock others with their dress and outrageous social
behavior. They also like to choose partners of the same sex or
partners that are much older or younger. A parent with this
position is likely to produce a child that is gay.

A really good example of a Uranus in the Fifth type dandy was Elvis
Presley who was renowned for his glittery jumpsuits and slicked
back hair. Other celebrities with this placement include Clint
Eastwood, Catherine Deneuve and Grace Kelly who were all shocking
in their own way in their time.

When watery Neptune is in the fifth house your sense of reality is
often blurry. People with this placement tend to be obsessive,
romantic and full of delusions about themselves and other people.
Dreamy and imaginative, they have difficult dealing with sordid old
reality. They are the type that relies on gambling as a retirement
plan and every relationship leads to another "soulmate." People
with a fifth house Neptune also tend to let others walk all over
them. They are famous for their codependent relationships with
unsavory drug addicts, jailbirds, con artists and alcoholics. It is
rescuing others that make them feel comfortable. Many people who
are orphans also have this placement and if you have it you are
more likely to adopt a child.

A really famous example is Angelina Jolie, whose fifth house
Neptune has led to a number of bizarre relationships (some of them
with bisexuals or lesbians.) Other celebrities with this placement
include Julia Roberts (the famous runaway bride), Cameron Diaz and
Katie Holmes.

If you have Pluto in the Fifth House you are a black and white
thinker who has trouble having fun. To you a game is not just a
game but also a life defining exercise that reflects on your
character. You are also most likely to cheat or be aggressive in
order to win. Others find you way too serious and any emotional
problems that you have may be out there like red flags, warning
others not to play with you. This is because if you don't get your
way or if you are looked at just the wrong way, you immediately
seek revenge. Another drawback of having this placement is that you
are prone to obsession and if rejected, there is a real danger of
stalking. Any children that you have will probably be as equally
moody or intense and chances are that you had trouble with a parent
growing up.

Celebrities with this troubled placement of Pluto include Melanie
Griffith, Drew Barrymore and Jon Voight. All three are famous for
coming from dysfunctional family units.

I've got Saturn-Uranus-Neptune conjunct in the 5th, by whole sign.

"This type of person
never feels like working and if they do have a job it is very
unorthodox or exotic in some way. This placement is highly creative
but it is also very undisciplined. People with a fifth house Uranus
also like to shock others with their dress and outrageous social
behavior." - hehe. so true.

"People with this placement tend to be obsessive,
romantic and full of delusions about themselves and other people.
Dreamy and imaginative, they have difficult dealing with sordid old
reality. "-again, very true.

"People
with a fifth house Neptune also tend to let others walk all over
them. They are famous for their codependent relationships with
unsavory drug addicts, jailbirds, con artists and alcoholics. It is
rescuing others that make them feel comfortable." - I try not to give into that..

"Saturn does not sit that well in the Fifth House, as it is too
stern of a planet to be in the house of fun and games. A person
with this may be forced to spend too much time in life just working
to survive or just be a workaholic. People with this placement tend
to be a bit unlucky, especially at gambling and they don't tend to
have many friends. They tend to be very critical of authority and
have no problem rebelling against the establishment when they are
young. This often leads to problems with the law or financial
irresponsibility." - pretty true. I haven't had to work so far, but I do now, and it sucks. lol I don't think there's a danger of me ever becomming a workaholic. I definitely don't have many friends, and I won't even try gambling, cause I have a family history with it that tells me it never works out for our gene pool.

Jupiter in Scorpio - The Criminal Mind.

Peter — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:22:16 GMT

This is an area I have never got into, but looking at some of the Criminal Minds with Jupiter in Scorpio. It's something that needs to be looked at.

I was just reading up on Ted Bundy. On one of his victims, he sexually assualted a woman with a Speculum. Sex is a key issue regarding this Astrological type. But in this instance, it was an act of violence rather than intimacy.

What's useful in knowing that is, how Jupiter in Scorpio exercise power and control. Most people never enact out their fantasies. But a few bring it into reality. For them, killing is an aphrodisiac.

I read earlier that Jupiter in Scorpio can either be the cure or the cause. They are certainly powerful types, who can influence many.

Al Capone through Bootlegging, Racketeering and Prostitution, became the Crime Boss of Chicago. He ruled through sparking terror and creating fear.

I haven't seen it yet by Natal position, but when Jupiter has been transiting through Scorpio, the emergence of Pedophile rings attracts attention. There has also been a great deal of attention focused on Women, who have been in positions of trust as well. It's not just applicable to Men.Whether Natally or by transit, it just goes to show us how power and influence can be abused

What triggers these influences. is it enviromental. A lack of emotional support. Or is it that some people just like doing these thing's for the pleasure.

Another example was the notorious Nazi Dr Joseph Mengele. He was known as "The Angel of Death". He performed experiements on Auschwitz Prisoners and Children. He was fascinated by identical Twins. He also directed Sterilisations of Women and Shock Treatments. He supervised who did and didn't go to the Gas Chambers.

There have been some good Surgeons with Jupiter in Scorpio. But Mengele was an extreme example of violating standards of Medical practice. It has remained contraversial to this day. Just how far does Medical Science have the right to go.

Interesting info on the Moon's Nodes

MantisReligiosa — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:26:37 GMT

going back to cafeastrology.com, I payed more attention to their articles on the Nodal Axis in a chart, and I came across an interesting approach:

"Ruler of the North and South Nodes

For further insight into the lessons of the Nodes of the Moon, look to the ruling planet of each Node's sign. For example, to shed further light onto our South Node tendencies, look to the planet that rules the sign of our South Node, and determine its sign. This sign position will suggest how we tend to act out our South Node tendencies. Similarly, the sign of the ruler of our North Node will show us how we might go about learning the lessons inherent in our North Node.

An example: If my South Node is in Libra, the ruling planet of Libra is Venus. My Venus is in Leo. Because the South Node is in Libra, I may have a tendency to fall back on partnerships and to fear standing alone, thus getting myself tangled up in co-dependent, imbalanced relationships. How do I do this? In a Leonine way! This adds an element of pride to the whole picture. I may hold on to my relationships with pleasure, priding myself on my ability to be loyal and stick with a partner; nevertheless, my relationships suffer from my inner imbalance unless I learn the lessons of my North Node in Aries.

If my North Node is in Aries, the ruling planet of Aries is Mars, and my Mars is in Sagittarius. Because my North Node is in Aries, I need to learn to develop my ability to stand alone, to act on impulse, and to feel good about myself whether I am in a partnership or not. The Sagittarius flavor suggests how I might do that. Perhaps I might need to travel away from my homestead in order to learn that I can stand on my own; perhaps I need to broaden my perspective in relationships by broadening my personal/physical horizons; perhaps I need to get away somehow, be adventurous, in order to learn to love myself and to develop more confidence in myself. I need to tap into my more bold, outgoing, adventurous, and intuitive personality (Sagittarius) in order to define myself and build my confidence (Aries)."

full article on Nodes, here: http://www.cafeastrology.com/nodesofthemoon.html

This might be especially useful for people who have their Nodes in opposite energies by sign and house, like me.

I have South Node in Virgo, in the 12th house, and North Node in Pisces, in the 6th house. Now, please correct me, if I'm rushing into conclusions, but this reinforces the idea that astrology is not part of what I should be doing with my life, despite my belief in its efficiency.

Mercury, which rules my South Node, is in 3 degrees Pisces, conjunct my North Node(and Vertex, but I don't know what that could show)! I tend to interpret this as a warning that I tend to get fatalistic in view, and believe that my life already has a set purpose(ruler of south node conjunct North Node).
South Node being in the 12th also tends o suggest I never got to do anything practical with my talent in past lives. Now, Neptune, ruler of my North Node(friggin' complicated nodal axis, this one!) is in Capricorn, almost exactly conjunct Saturn in Capricorn..in other words, it's a very Capricornian Neptune. And, again, Saturn is the biggest DIY influence in astrology, if I'm not mistaken. Capricorn doesn't take anything for granted, and believes in building its own destiny.

So, judging by this, the way to "reach the Promised Land"-lol-is by taking everything in my own hands, and just work on making it happen, instead of getting caught up in worries, or imaginary complications that are not even there...as opposed to embracing blind faith and indulging in activities that bring no concrete results..right?

And if this were indeed true, does it not exclude study of astrology?

Fixed Stars Zodiac Question

Paul — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:14:06 GMT

In a nutshell my question is whether or not the degrees that we use for the Fixed stars are in relation to the Tropical zodiac or the Sidereal one. For example Regulus is said to be at 29d 50m of Leo roughly. But 29d of Tropical Leo or Sidereal Leo? In about a decade or two, by this calculation, Regulus, the 'heart of the lion' of Leo, will actually be in Virgo.

For those who do not know, due to precession of the equinoxes the zodiac as we commonly use it today in Tropical astrology is not concurrent to the observable sky's consteallation. When a planet is in a particular sign in terms of Tropical astrology, were you to look up into the sky and see it, it would, more often than not, appear to be in the preceding constellation.

Which leads me to another question. At what point did Tropical and Sidereal astrology diverge?

Sextiles show on the face

MantisReligiosa — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:10:05 GMT

(yes, it's me, again. LOL)

Just thought I'd share another brilliant observation with you, folks.hehe.. And that's because I can recall several debates on tribe about the true nature, intensity, and importance of sextiles, as well as their like-ness to trines.
And I think I may have found an answer.

I only found one example, apart from my own to support this observation, but my instinct tells me I'm right in assuming that the sextile is, in fact, a very potent aspect - and just as worthy of analysis as the trine. And the evidence is physical, in this case, as to leave no doubt about its trace.

I checked the chart of this national celebrity that came up in last month's "astrology magazine", and there was a head-shot of hers on the cover, of course, and before I even opened the magazine, I said to myself "she must have Pluto on the AC". And, indeed, she did, but, to my surprise it was only a meek, 4 degree orb sextile to Pluto.

You'd expect an aspect like that to be basically unnoticeable on the physique of a person, especially since she already has her First Decan Virgo Rising tightly conjunct Venus.
Nevertheless, the marks were there: the teeth, although well-shaped and perfectly aligned, sharpened noticeably towards the end, the nose, although very small and soft, showed the high-fixed nasal base and the somewhat droopy tip, that gives it that slight beek-shape typically assigned to Plutonian appearances, and the eyes, although bright blue and alert, showed a well-camouflaged intensity and power-conscience.

I have the same 4 degree orb sextile from Pluto to my AC, and present some of the same symptoms, and sometimes thought they might have been a reflection of my Plutonian Sun, but, well, this proves that my instinct was right in that only the AC can influence appearance.

Whole Sign House System

Raymond — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:26:23 GMT

I read that other house systems other than the original house system, the whole sign house system were based on errors to begin with.

The following by Chris Brennan
Whole Sign Houses:
the original house system

In no other area of astrology is there so much mess and confusion than in the area of the so-called "houses". There are at least twenty or thirty different house systems or means of dividing the so-called "birthchart" into twelve segments of life activity.

The more commonly known house systems are: Whole signs(oldest), Equal House(1st century BC), Porphyry(3rd century AD), Alcabitus(6th century), Campanus(13th century), Regiomantus(14th century), Placidus(17th century), and Koch(20th century). Others include: Meridian(Midheaven), Topocentric, Morinus, Horizontal, Geodetic, Zodiacal, Svarogish, Krusinski, and so on.

In astrology, houses, mansions, or domains, are supposed to represent general areas of life activity. They are the grounding areas or arenas of expression for the planets. There are generally twelve houses, although in extreme northern or southern lattitudes there can be ten, depending on the house system used.

In modern astrology, two important points or "angles" are generally used in the construction of houses; the ascendant degree which begins the first house, and the Midheaven degree which starts the tenth house. At equatorial latitudes these two points are generally 90 degrees apart, but the further one moves north or south the greater or lesser the distance between them, resulting in uneven and sometimes intercepted(invisible) houses.

The most common house system in use today is the Placidus system named after Placidus de Tito of the 17th century. In this system, like most others, the ascending degree starts the first house and the midheaven degree starts the tenth house. The remaining houses are then trisected on a time arc basis rather than space. The problem is the houses distort or intercept in extreme latitudes.

It seems human nature always veers towards the more complex ideas or notions in any field, ignoring the truer and simpler ones. Originally, the words "houses" and "signs" were interchangeable or meant the same thing. A planet in Aries was also a planet in the house of Aries, so that in effect. there were no real houses as we know them today.

The artificial divisions we now know as houses were attempts by the early Greeks and the Hindus to measure strength "points" in the horoscope, which at some point in time(7th and 8th centuries AD) were construed or confused as means of dividing the birth chart. The ascendant and midheaven degrees and their opposites, for example, were definite power points or areas of intense focus, but not necessarily the beginnings of a house or quadrant.

In fact, there is no real basis for the astrological houses at all. They derive from a misunderstanding of the true nature of the Ascendant and Midheaven factors in astrology, the former representing the Earth or terrestial sphere, and the latter representing the Sky, Heaven, or celestial sphere. The Ascendant is planet Earth, and the Midheaven(MC) has as its source, the Earth's inner central sun. The IC(Imum Coeli) and the descendant are merely opposite or reflex points.

If any house system should be used at all, it should be the Whole Sign House system, where the ascendant sign becomes the whole first house and the others follow. The ascendant point can then fall anywhere in the first house and the midheaven point anywhere in the upper half of the chart. The Ascendant and Midheaven, in effect, become PLANETS, which is what they truly are, and because we live on planet Earth, it is the FIRST house or primary habitation. For a description of what the houses really mean, see here http://www.librarising.com/astrology/fwa/basics2.html

The Whole Sign House system was used by the ancient Greeks and the Hindus(who still use it today). It is the oldest and simplest house system in existence, and immediateley eliminates the awful mess astrologers have made on the issue over the last 1300 years or so.

For a full explanation on whole sign houses see here.

Descripions-5th house in signs

MantisReligiosa — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:44:33 GMT

from 123-astrology.com

The Fifth house is about recreation, creativity, love, flirting,
children, pets, romance (however not marriage as that is ruled by
the seventh house), sports, gambling and pure luck! The sign that
dominates your fifth house says lots about what ever rocks your
boat, turns you on and makes you glad to be alive. The Fifth house
can be located in the 4:00 to 5:00 position if you want to find it
on your chart.

If Aries dominates your fifth house then you have the most fun when
your heart rate is up and you are breathing hard. You are an
adrenalin junkie who may enjoy extreme sports as well as the usual
flirtations with danger such as mountain climbing and jungle
safaris. Any type of competitive game of wits is also greatly
appealing to you.

Daredevil celebrities with this configuration include Brad Pitt,
Elvis Presley, Marlon Brando, Edward Norton, Bjork, Keith Richards
and Prince,

If Taurus dominates your fifth house then you are sensual and love
luxury. You love being taken out for a fine dinner or for a
shopping spree. You also enjoy cooking and gardening as it helps
you relax. Peace and quiet always sounds like a good time to you.

Famous luxury lovers with this zodiac placement include Robert
Redford, George Clooney, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Whitney
Houston.

If Gemini rules your fifth house than you love all forms of
entertainment including movies, literature, theater and comedy. You
are endlessly curious and love to visit museums and exotic places.
You also enjoy taking short trips, even if it is just a walk in the
park. Many individuals with this placement are happiest performing
for others or creating works of art for others to appreciate.

Performers with extroverted Gemini in the fifth house include
Russell Crow, David Bowie, Bono, Lucy Lawless, Meg Ryan, Kim
Basinger and Naomi Campbell.

If Cancer rules your fifth house then the best times of your life
are usually equated with quality time spent with one special
person. You are in love with the idea of being in love and are
pretty bummed out when there is no romance on the horizon. You
enjoy watching movies that provoke your emotions as you love to
give your laughter and tears a work out every now and then.

Romantic souls with this placement include Isabelle Adjani, Jon
Voight, David Carradine, Heather Locklear, Johnny Cash and Teri
Hatcher.

If the exuberant sign of Leo rules your fifth house of fun then you
are happiest when you are the center of attention. You love hosting
events, parties and public speaking. You also make a good coach or
team leader. The ultimate in fun for you is to build something big
in a day and then destroy it willfully, just for the heck of it.

Individuals with happy go lucky Leo in the fifth house include Tony
Blair, Serena Williams, Melanie Griffiths and Michael Jordan.

If Virgo rules your fifth house then you are happiest working at a
very detailed hobby such as carpentry, embroidery or raising rare
orchids. You are quieter than most and also enjoy studying
religious texts or visiting libraries and museums. Your active mind
also very much enjoys doing puzzles like crosswords or Sudoko.

Celebrities with a Virgo dominated fifth house include Shakira and
Sigourney Weaver as well as many deceased contemporary celebrities
such as Margaux Hemingway, Vivien Leigh, Humphrey Bogart and Rita
Hayworth.

If Libra dominates your fifth house then you are the happiest when
you are surrounded by a group of loving friends. Friends make you
happier than a romance as you often feel too much pressure to
perform from lovers. A good time for you would be an afternoon
spent lazing around watching television with a few good companions.
You are also a great lover of beautiful clothes and fashion so you
also enjoy shopping.

Celebrities with this lazy Libra influence in their charts include
Ben Affleck, Hilary Clinton, Ricky Martin, Sandra Bullock, Drew
Barrymore and Cindy Crawford.

If Scorpio rules your fifth house then you love having sex. You
also enjoy all of the little head games and power plays that can
take place during human courtship. You also enjoy dramas and
pursuing matters to do with spirituality or the occult.

People with Scorpio in the fifth house often tend to be sex symbols
as is exemplified by Jack Nicholson, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts,
Cameron Diaz, Al Pacino, John Travolta and Steve McQueen.

If Sagittarius dominates your fifth house then nothing makes you
happier then being able to travel. You like to forget who you are
completely when you go on a vacation and immerse yourself in
another culture. You also enjoy reading books that capture your
imagination.

Famous adventurers with this zodiac placement include Johnny Depp,
George W. Bush, Jean Michel Jarre, Katie Holmes, Beatrice Dalle and
Marilyn Manson.

If Capricorn rules your fifth house then you may have a competitive
or athletic streak that makes you enjoy contests. You also enjoy
traditional past times such as family dinners, annual celebrations
and playing with your pets and children. You also get a great deal
of joy from gardening and speculating about buying real estate.

Famous individuals with this placement include Madonna, Uma
Thurman, Sharon Stone, Tom Hanks, Woody Allen, Kevin Costner and
John Malkovich.

If Aquarius rules your fifth house then you are happiest when you
are busy playing with the latest gadget or gizmo that is on the
market. You love to talk on your cell phone, play virtual games or
surf on the World Wide Web. As you are attracted to the bizarre you
also enjoy eclectic social organizations, secret societies and
going to art openings. If you have this placement then you also
really enjoy playing pranks on other people.

Well-known people with Aquarius in their fifth house include Tom
Cruise, Bruce Willis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Britney Spears, Michael
Jackson and Harrison Ford.

If Pisces rules your fifth house then you love swimming, going to a
cottage or vacationing by the seaside. You are also very fond of
being pampered and enjoy trips to beauty salons and spas. Visiting
ancient sacred sites is also fun for you as is exploring the occult
and metaphysical sides of life.

Individuals with this placement include and have included Nicole
Kidman, Michael Douglas, Halle Berry, Frank Sinatra, Charlie
Chaplin and Adolf Hitler

Natal Promise

Jessica — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 05:51:29 GMT

Anyone ever heard of this? I usually tend to shy away from absolutes/promises/completely fated thinking, but this is interesting to me nonetheless. Mainly the children aspect. I have read a few things here and there about how your chart has to be set up for certain things to happen, whether or not it happens is up to you. Your chart may show the potential for 4 kids, yet you may only choose to have 2. If a persons chart is not set up for 4 children, they will not have them no matter how bad they may want to. According to this, you look at 5th house, ruler of fifth and see how many aspects it receives from personal planets. And each aspect is supposed to represent your children.

we are trying to have another child, so babies are on thee brain right now.

Here is a post discussing it from another astrology community-

The Zodiac in broad strokes

O'Ryan — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 23:35:19 GMT

Hey there Astronuts!

I've been trying for a long time to figure out a way to paint a picture of the zodiac and/or houses in terms of a continual flow of energy, rather than a number of separate parts or purely human characteristics. Since I haven't seen it done myself, I went ahead and worked at own, and wanted to know what you all think about the general idea. Of course all this may be all old hat to some, just as it may be way out there to others- but for my own peace of mind I'd like to see if it makes sense outside of my own head.
The basic idea here is that you start with a single point and everything flows logically from this point to it's opposite, and back again. With this in mind I wanted to focus on two imaginary "axes" first, then look at the traditional signs in this context.

The Theory
A-B Axis- The Part Vs. The Whole:
So, let's say that one point (point "A") of the zodiac indicates a fragmented quality where attention is focused entirely on one thing, one moment, one part of reality at a time, and moves rapidly from instant to instant with no regard for anything before or after. If this (theoretical) point was dominant in your chart it might indicate an overwhelming passion for the moment, along with a tendency to forget everything else but what you were doing at that moment. You would find near impossible to see the "Bigger Picture", let alone "connect the dots" of everyday moments of existence.
Now, let's say the point opposite that had the opposite quality- a focus on the universal wholeness, a tendency towards broad, sweeping generalizations, and a consequent inability to focus on details. You would see the bigger picture in terms of place and time, but not be able to make sense of the individual components that make up the undifferentiated whole.

X-Y Axis- Connection Vs. Separation:
Between these two points you would have a flow of energy from the part to the whole and back again.
Going from Point A (The part) to point B (The whole,) you have a process of combining, connecting, merging things together.
Right in the middle you have the point where things (including yourself) go from being more fragmented to being more connected. It as at this point where things come together on equal terms, where relationships based on equality are extremely significant, and where everything appears to be in perfect balance and harmony and move towards further integration. Let's call this point X.

Returning from Point B (The whole) to point A (The part,) you have a process of distinguishing, individuation, separating into distinct parts. Point Y falls in the middle of this and also represents balance and harmony, but moving in the direction of further separation and distinction.

The Practice:
Now let's say point A is represented by 0dg Cancer (either Tropical or Sidereal, this is all theory right now.) Gemini represents the sector where everything is still being broken down into ever more minute particles, while Cancer represents the process of gradually building up these minute particles to begin create some sense of this disjointed chaos.
On the other side of the zodiac Sagittarius is involved in the final stages of expanding its experience of reality into one universal whole, sweeping away any differentiation into a one broad overview of the universe. Capricorn then begins the process of distinguishing this whole into basic generalized concepts by which different areas of life can be distinguished.

Next, let's say point X is represented by 0dg Libra. At this point as well as 0dg Aries, all the parts are in harmonious balance, perfectly positioned between total fragmentation and wholeness. While Virgo represents combining and organizing to try and achieve this balance, Libra represents taking this further and merging each part together to form ever stronger and more enduring relationships between people and objects.
On the other side of the circle (point Y) Pisces represents the last stages of distinguishing the components that make up the real world out of the general cloud of confusion and abstraction. Once balance has been achieved, Aries continues the task of further individualizing itself and other objects, stubbornly insisting on the individual and independent nature of objects and ideas and the right to "call a spade a spade."

In between all of these we are left with the "fixed" oppositions of Leo and Aquarius, then Scorpio and Taurus.
In keeping with this theory, Leo would be concerned with the appropriate behaviour for a given situation, while Aquarius is concerned with things that don't "fit in," with the big picture. Meanwhile Taurus is concerned with breaking things down into qualities like size and form which are quite particular, but still general enough to be easily recognizable, and Scorpio with power and obligations as harmonious relationships become more concrete and intense.)

So, for anyone who's actually read this far, what do you think?

but I just gotta ask, cause it's burning me. It would be unfair to denigrate astrology just because I'm going through a personal "phase", but I'm really starting to consider giving it up..like, really, and it just occurs to me it's not easy to let go of...as some of you may have already noticed.

So my question is has anyone ever really let go of it..like completely, and realized the change was for the better?

Or better-said, is there anything about your pre-astrology-aware self that you miss?

Mars in Scorpio
smoulder,

With a passion
so immense,
they're not going

Rahu/Ketu-ok..this is just plain creepy.

MantisReligiosa — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:21:45 GMT

I found this about the "myth" behind Rahu and Ketu(North Node and South Node) in Vedic, and it freaked me out:

( http://www.scribd.com/doc/4655474/RahuKetu-NNSN )

"One can better understand Rahu and Ketu if one looks at the Vedic myth associated with them. Though the myth that follows has various versions, the essential meaning of the nodes comes through. At a party of the gods, the nectar of immortality (called
amrita) was being served in abundance. To prevent interference with the party from the demons below, the gods offered to share some of the amrita with the demons. Knowing, however, that if they gave amrita to the demons, it would immediately make them immortal, the gods played a trick on the demons and were actually serving them a drink which looked like amrita, but in reality was not. Of all the demons, one saw through the sham: Rahu, a type of demonic dragon. Infuriated at the deception, Rahu grabbed some clothing of the gods and put it on. She then slipped into the party unnoticed and unrecognized. When Lord Vishnu offered the real amrita
to Rahu, believing that she was one of the gods, Lord Surya and Lord Chandra, the deities of the Sun and Moon, somehow saw through Rahu’s deception, cried out, and exposed her lie. Immediately, Vishnu grabbed a sword and sliced Rahu in half and then threw the two parts of her body into the heavens. The head of the demon kept the name Rahu, while the headless body became known as Ketu. Unfortunately, Rahu had managed to taste and swallow the amrita just before her dismemberment, therefore, she was unable to be killed. Because of her immortality, she and her headless body now exists eternally in the heavens. Because she was exposed by the Sun
and Moon, she is now the sworn enemy of those two planets, hence the darkening of the Sun and Moon during solar and lunar eclipses. "

And it gets creepier:

"RAHU--THE ROLLER COASTER As can be deduced from the above tale, Rahu is an excellent liar as she was able to deceive even the gods, if only temporarily. In the Vedic system, the north node, Rahu, has rulership over con artists, liars, illusion, and cheats. Since Rahu is now only the head and part of the body of an immortal demon, she is constantly hungry--whatever food is eaten never reaches the whole body as Rahu is only the head and mouth. Because of this, Rahu is also viewed as insatiable material desires.
No matter how much she gets, Rahu always wants more. Because of this, Rahu is closely associated with addictions and obsessive/compulsive behavior patterns. Accordingly, Rahu rules drugs, poisons, alcoholism, addicts, compulsive gambling, sex addiction, and pleasure seeking. Rahu also rules worries, paranoia and irrational fears. Because Rahu is a demon and inherently evil, Rahu also has domain over suffering in general, especially chronic diseases and events that are sudden and seem fated and tragic. Because Rahu had the audacity to impersonate a god, at considerable risk to herself (a gamble which eventually she lost), Rahu is associated with reckless behavior and of taking chances. Rahu can make people do things they otherwise would not by making them throw caution to the wind and thinking that they can get away with it. "

Of course, since this is a Vedic take, it would be advisable to use your Vedic positions. And my Rahu is tightly conjunct Mercury, and squares my Moon-Mars-Jupiter stellium...which explains why all the benevolence of this Jupiter-touched trio never really worked.

This part especially hit me: "Since Rahu is now only the head and part of the body of an immortal demon, she is constantly hungry--whatever food is eaten never reaches the whole body as Rahu is only the head and mouth. Because of this, Rahu is also viewed as insatiable material desires.
No matter how much she gets, Rahu always wants more. Because of this, Rahu is closely associated with addictions and obsessive/compulsive behavior patterns. "

"obsessive/compulsive" behavioral patterns...my mind is insatiable and obsessive-compulsive.

Then, there's Ketu, which falls in my 1st house.

"KETU--THE CRUEL ONE Ketu is the headless body of Rahu. Sometimes called the Dragon’s Tail, Ketu’s chart position is always opposite Rahu’s. Astrologically, Ketu is the exact opposite of Rahu. Whereas Rahu is pure physicality and materialism, Ketu is pure spirituality and non-materiality. In this respect, Ketu acts like Neptune. But Ketu’s spirituality comes with a heavy price tag: It is, after all, half of a demon.
Ketu brings spirituality on to people by making them suffer.
It is almost as if Ketu creates so many disasters in a person’s life, that one has no choice but to turn to the Divine for help and solace. Since Ketu is non-physical and non-material, its influence creates denial and sometimes abandonment. For example, a person with Ketu closely conjunct the midpoint of the 4th house of the mother will typically report that their mother was emotionally or physically unavailable when the person was growing up. Ketu can be very mystic, occult, psychic and intuitive, but it can also bring with it isolation, loss, misery, and abuse. According to Prof. V.K. Choudhry, founder and developer of the System’s Approach to Vedic Astrology, Ketu is “the planet of miseries.”

This part rings especially true: " Whereas Rahu is pure physicality and materialism, Ketu is pure spirituality and non-materiality. In this respect, Ketu acts like Neptune. But Ketu’s spirituality comes with a heavy price tag: It is, after all, half of a demon.
Ketu brings spirituality on to people by making them suffer."

I think I definitely got spiritual through suffering. I asked myself many times if I would've gotten spiritual without having gone through serious inner turbulence, and I incline to think that the answer is no..I was a natural-born hedonist.

Sidereal Decanates-Past lives?

MantisReligiosa — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 13:12:29 GMT

http://grupovenus.com/main.htm - great site that sends free reports, sent by email in a few days.

My "Cayce Past Life Report" seemed a little weird, though, because it also interpreted my sidereal sun and moon, as part of a past life's "lessons"..maybe Cayce had some theories about sidereal, that I don't know about, or something..if anyone has heard about this before, please explain this to me:

http://astroayuda.net/infor1.asp?0266V30271z3

I'm thinking it's just a strategy used to calm down sidereal astrologers, by taking sidereal placements into account together with the western tropical interpretations.

if that link doesn't work, here's just the part about sidereal:

"Chapter 2: Sidereal and Tropical positions. Your Past Life Decanates

NOTE: The Zodiac signs of the Sun and Moon are
analyzed below. First they will be analyzed in
the Tropical zodiac. If the positions are
different in the Sidereal zodiac, then they
will also be analyzed in the Sidereal zodiac.
Also, if the Sun and Moon are in the same zodiac
sign, then only the Sun position is interpreted;
the Moon position, being the same as the Sun
position, does not needed to be interpreted in
this case.

Tropical Sun/Moon Pisces

Coming under the influences of Pisces, water and religion or spiritual matters are likely to have an untold influence on you. Of course, this depends upon the way you respond to these kinds of experiences, for they have probably played an important part or at least have been innate in your experience through many lifetimes in the earth.

Pisces means or symbolizes what is naturally, or by its very nature, representative of influences of the higher soul or higher spiritual level. Hence those things of the spiritual nature should preferably be the way in which your judgments are drawn, as to whether this or that activity should be your impelling influence. Not that you should become lost in motives or in influences impelling your actions: just use those things of the spiritual import as the measuring rod of your activities and experiences.

In light of this, the period around the birth and ministry of Jesus, the Christ, is the clearest past life for you to recall and build upon in the present. You may even remember a lifetime as part of Roman culture, where priority was placed upon position in society and in the military.

Another early Church memory might be stronger for you: the hills around Galilee and the desert near the Dead Sea where the Essenes and others gathered to meditate and study. Then too you may be emotionally drawn to painful scenes of being among early Christians who were martyred for the courage of believing in the Messiah. Regardless of specifics, you are quite likely always to be dominated by a sense of expectancy and mystery.

In later lifetimes since the early Church period, you were probably celibate, as a nun or monk of a leading religious order.

Noble, compassionate Jupiter and spiritual, mystical Neptune are the two rulers or key symbols for the sign of Pisces. From Neptune comes the intuitive forces, the mystical or mysterious influences in your experience, whether you allow them to be mentally or consciously active or not. Another influence of these planets as expressed through Pisces is that although you have a great deal of compassion, you may be too passive in expressing your personal energy and soul force. Also, it will probably be much easier for you than for most people to suppress your sexual desires because of the memory of one or more past lives when you set aside your personal concerns for the good of the entire community. [816-3, 1506-1, 997-1]

Tropical Sun/Moon Gemini

Coming as you do under the double sign of Gemini, there are likely to be two natures within you as far as your inner, subconscious urges are concerned. One of these urges is to seek to know (and this thirst for knowledge may sometimes involve questionable things or conditions, at least as far as others are concerned). The other part of this dual urge from Gemini's influence is your innate as well as outwardly manifested spiritual seeking for a greater, better and more perfect relationship with another. At times these two urges may be more in conflict than most people ordinarily experience.

Also, as in other in Gemini children this tendency toward double-mindedness at times may find expression in inclinations to change your mind and overspeculate about things. With application of your will, these inclinations can be curbed.

Now, you were probably part of European culture during the Middle Ages, when there was considerable action and adventure, for example in the continual feuding and strife among the many fiefdoms, families, tribes, castles and kingdoms comprising Europe before its present consolidation into several nation-states.

You may even have been among the gentry or upper class of France or England, attending or participating in jousting tournaments, making long journeys to the Crusades against the Muslims in Palestine, or involved with trade exchanges with the caravans going to and from India and China.

In other words, because Mercury is the planet which rules or symbolizes the essence of Gemini, overall you may have experienced in one or more of these lifetimes a sense of restlessness enduring into your present life.

Finally, centuries or even millennia earlier, you may have led a life in what has become known as Australia or on one of its neighboring South Pacific islands. [674-3, 962-1]

Sidereal Sun/Moon Aquarius

Aquarius makes for the application of your mental self, so that there are tendencies for you to analyze carefully any given project, or any undertaking dealing with the material world. Also, the more often you undertake projects when others must be considered as well, it will be far better that you manifest a truly cooperative spirit while doing so.

The planet ruled or symbolized by Aquarius is Uranus, which is the purely Atlantean planet. In other words, Uranus is the principal theme of Aquarius, and because Uranus is the realm of a distinctive Atlantean nature, then Aquarius is the zodiacal sign best symbolized by thoughts, personalities and activities akin to the series of prehistoric 'space age' civilizations known as Atlantis.

For example, you may once have been involved with scientific discovery and invention, and therefore in the present have the potential again for investigating more scientific or technical areas like computers, engineering, inventing, research, astrology and parapsychology, space travel and the like.

Other similar experiences and abilities with high technologies ranging from electronics in medicine to communications are close to you in terms of your interests and abilities, yet are far away in time. This is also true of a great number of souls who have incarnated in the twentieth century (especially since World War Two), with memories spanning many millennia between the present time and the ancient Atlantean civilizations.

Yet other lifetimes have surely intervened since your Atlantean incarnation. They could range from being an astrologer or magician in the courts of kings to a dedicated pioneer at the frontier of a new land. Or you may have been one who set sail for distant ports only to be carried away in search of lost legends. Other lives, including the present one, could well feature you as one whose stride through life has labeled you as a dreamer, at least to more material-minded souls. [1265-1, 3902-2]

Sidereal Sun/Moon Taurus

Taurus' influence inclines you to be somewhat headstrong, with a very set and determined manner. Hence you are not always understood in everything you try to do, or in things which you know yourself to be true. Yet longlasting are the influences you make on others with whom you have deep associations from previous lives.

Remember, success or accomplishment in life is not a matter of some great force or influence. Just as taught by the Master, it is not the power of the storm or of the earthquake or of great noises and the like. Rather it is the still small voice speaking from within you which becomes the influence through which movements of truly great forces really arise.

Since your childhood, being outdoors and living close to nature is probably more significant to you than to most others. This love of nature and the great outdoors is from one or more past lives spent on a farm or in nature settings. For ages countries on the Mediterranean such as ancient Egypt, Greece and virtually all of the ancient Mideast lived in close contact with nature. So did the Native Americans of pre-Columbian America. And surely you were one of them.

Farming, fishing and hunting then, are among your familiar pursuits (even if they only involve occasional outdoor activities like gardening, boating or indoors, tending flowers and plants). You also probably have greater confidence in wholistic, natural healing approaches than in modern medicine's 'advanced' yet artificial technology.

Now, Venus is the planet which rules or best symbolizes the essence of the sign Taurus. Of course, Venus symbolizes the female sex. Centuries ago in oriental cultures women were more feminine -- and experienced much more respect -- than today. A lifetime in Asia and lands like China, then, are also a likely part of your past life experiences.[1149-1, 1641-1]

Your Past Life Decanates

According to an ancient Vedic astrology method still practiced in India, Past Life Planets are realms in which you sojourned between earth lifetimes. They are identified through the position of your sidereal Sun and Moon in the decanates (a decanate is a one- third division of a zodiac sign; each is ruled by a planet). Any patterns involving these Past Life Planets are therefore of special importance. Pay extra attention, then, to any sections of your Report which interpret these planets. NOTE: If your Sun and Moon are both located in a decanate which is ruled by the same planet, then only the Sun position is interpreted; the Moon's decanate position, being the same as the Sun's, therefore does not need to be interpreted.

YOUR SUN IS IN LIBRA DECANATE

Your sidereal Sun in LIBRA decanate, which is ruled by Venus. Venus as Past Life Planet points to high priorities in creativity, sociability and relationships, especially in your family/home life and in the world of nature. Urges toward these experiences and interests from your sojourn in the Venus dimension are likely to originate in parallel lifetimes of soul development through these areas of self-expression.

Especially indicated are lives in the early Jewish-Christian Church and later as an artist-musician in modern times, whether in the West (Europe and/or America), or in modern or colonial Asia.

YOUR MOON IS IN TAURUS DECANATE

Your sidereal Moon is in TAURUS decanate, which is ruled by Venus. Venus as Past Life Planet points to high priorities in creativity, sociability and relationships, especially in your family/home life and in the world of nature. Urges toward these experiences and interests from your sojourn in the Venus dimension are likely to originate in parallel lifetimes of soul development through these areas of self-expression.

.FaF. — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 18:04:20 GMT

I'm feeling I have this really great transit opportunity on work on, and considering the planets involved, I am not surprised to feel a little uncertainty about which way to go with it. ; ) I'll post a link to my chart: http://people.tribe.net/1bcd04bf-d092-432a-93ff-249f20c2dc1b/photos/359f53f7-3496-4dc7-8890-4f8c365e91c6

T Retrograde Mars (in my 12th house) opposing.. my natal T-Square_ Focal Planets Sun,Mars in 6th house Aquarius; these two square Moon And Neptune. So T-Mars opposes my Sun and Mars, and create a Cross in Fixed signs. This too, late last month with T Venus conj N Sun, Mars.

I've been reading a bit in Tracy Marks' "Planetary Aspects; From Conflict To Cooperation" about the missing leg and understanding the 'empty space' in your T-Square. I get the sense that typical Mars opposition interpretations I've been seeing of using caution and moving slowly may not apply here. I see it, perhaps as a message to get my Mars in gear, so to speak. Relationships have become difficult, but I find myself in a emotional space where relationships need to take the back burner, so that I may take the time to 'work' on my Sun/Mars. My life focus has been relationships, and this has been detrimental to my Sun/Mars self, which pretty much makes sense given my 6th house Sun/ Mars in detriment and my 7th house Venus in Pisces.

I highly recommend her book, but the conundrum I find interesting is here: Tracy writes:
"In your t-square, the opposing forces are your opposing planets, which can be synthesized by the higher self emerging through your focal planet and expressing itself in cooperation with your empty sign and house. In your chart as a whole, the most likely source of this higher self is the Sun, the center of the solar system. But although this higher self may emerge through your Sun or through your focal planet, it issues not merely from these two influences, but rather from all of your planets operating together. It mediates the conflicts occurring among your planets, signs and houses, synthesizing and channeling their energies and regulating their expression. Functioning like a conductor of an orchestra, it enables you to live in attunement to its celestial music."

So for this T-square the focal point IS my Sun and Mars, which happen to now have Mars opposing them, adding to that the retrograde and passing back and forth, and creating squares to Moon and Neptune. I see Saturn transiting 2nd house asking me to create foundations of self worth so that I can contribute in an equal manner financially in my relationships, this has been a longstanding issue for me because I focused on realtionships rather than developing my own earning ability...

Anyway, I'd say I am having a bit of difficulty 'seeing the forest for the tress', does anyone have comments that may further my understanding or confirm my thoughts about these or other related transits I am experiencing?

Feel free to post about your own natal t-squares or transiting t-square as well!

19th-20th degree of Cancer and Capricorn

Michele — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 23:34:51 GMT

I'm writing an article for my website on the 19th and 20th degrees of the Cancer/Capricorn axis, since it's set to be eclipsed on July 11. One thing I've noticed is that it seems to be associated with unusual childhood experiences. If anyone has a planet or angle in that degree, could you share any unusual experiences, i.e., parent/child relationship, prodigy talent, unusual family situation, etc.

Thanks,
Michele

some insight needed on transits

ze — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 10:34:35 GMT

some advice needed for some transits in a woman's chart....

a transit of pluto conjunct neptune and uranus conjunct venus..... pluto squaring venus

pluto being in the 6th house, 5 degrees away from reaching the descendant....
venus in aries in the 10th house.....dispositor of intercepted sun/mercury taurus in the 11th..
Libra mainly in the 4th house, but libra on the 5th house cusp..... pluto is natally in the 5th so pluto transits echo the house allready...
and on top progressed venus opposite pluto in the 5th, and progressed mars conjunct natal venus

so doubled pluto-venus influences, throw some uranus and mars in there, most energy directed to the 5th house........
what would one say of these transits, with a peek at the chart maybe.. (posted in my pictures)

unexpected birth of a child? extreme sexual behaviour?

any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Mars and Uranus conjunct south node

gabby — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:48:17 GMT

Wondering if anyone out there has this in their charts? I am trying to read a chart for someone who has Mars/Uranus conjunction on their south node.

They also have Chiron conjunct north node.

Because I don't necessarily think of south node expression as "bad," just familiar, and tend to think of oppositions in general as places where we need to try to assimilate the energies in opposition, this is how I would interpret all of this:

Throughout previous lifetimes and during this one, she has learned how to assert herself and her right to individuality. This aggressive individualism is almost instinctual at this point. Anyone's attempt to thwart her independence and right to be unique and free will be met with open hostility and rebellion. This is not necessarily bad, because we do all have the right to be ourselves, and she is just as likely to fight for her friends' right to independence as she is her own.

On the other hand, her north node conjunct Chiron urges her to find a way to heal herself and others through her drive for individual expression. Chiron here on the north node says to pull away from anger and rebellion, to learn to heal the place in herself that has been hurt by the suffocation of her true, unique self. And as she learns to overcome the pain of being forced to toe the line and be like everyone else, she will become a beacon to others who are struggling with the same issues.

What do people find in their personal experiences with these sorts of aspects?

What is also interesting to me with her is that her south node is in Sagittarius 3rd House, while her north node is in Gemini 9th House! I realize houses and signs are not exactly the same, but so strange still that Sag/Gemini energies are found at both poles. It seems like the conjuncting planets are more important here than the sign/house placements though.

Big Theories... Are Crashing All Around Us

22252 — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:00:21 GMT

i had an impulse to substitute "natal charts" for "genes" in the following excerpt from a recent article/interview, "The Big Theories Underwriting Society Are Crashing All Around Us -- Are You Ready for a New World?" http://www.alternet.org/story/145394/the_big_theories_underwriting_society_are_crashing_all_around_us_--_are_you_ready_for_a_new_world?page=entire
...it worked for me.

>> TM: What is the old belief and what is the new belief?

BL: The old belief: Genes[natal charts] predetermine our fate and control who we are. We didn't select our genes and we can't change them, so our lives are beyond our control. That kind of science says I'm a victim, so I need a rescuer. As victims, we turn over our healthcare to other people. But the new biology reveals that our thoughts and beliefs and how we interact with the environment control our genetics.

TM: Until fairly recently I thought that I was born with a blueprint that would play out for the rest of my life. I think that's a common misconception. You're saying that, though we're born with a particular genetic structure, it's not a blueprint or a done deal. Again, not a simple either/or.

BL: The scientific story we've been living says we have no power. But we say we are all active participants in the unfoldment of our own genetics, our own health, and the health of the world that we live in.

TM: You say that from a position of science, not from a position of belief. We've talked about two of the false beliefs: Newtonian physics, and the belief that genes control our lives. What are others?

BL: The premises of Darwinian evolution: that random mutations got life going and that life is based on a struggle for survival of the fittest. Those are beliefs that influence our culture well beyond the realm of science. As a consequence, we live in a world based on competition and struggle. But we have to ask: Is the world really that way or did our beliefs create that impression?

Now we learn that the entangled community called the biosphere is driven not by competition but by cooperation and community. This means our competing has been anti-evolutionary.

Humans evolved over a million years ago. What's evolving now is not the individual human, but the living superorganism called humanity. We are all cells in the body of one living thing. So we need to come together and recognize our unity.

The cells making up humanity will keep killing each other -- as in an autoimmune disease -- until we realize that we're all part of one organism and cooperation is key. The way we live in our world today mimics some of our biggest health issues: autoimmune diseases like arthritis, Alzheimer's and cancer. The fundamental underlying issue in almost all illnesses today is stress. When stress hormones are released into your body, the same hormones that get you ready for fight and flight, also shut off the immune system. <<

Solar Arcs

ze — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 10:23:28 GMT

How strong do you al weigh solar arcs?
i have been reading a lot lately on the website 'chirotic journal' and some astrologers there put a lot op emphasis on solar arcs..
it made me curious , since i noticed before that they seemed stronger than actual transits, so i went out and check for all significant things that happened in my life the last years...
It seems, that the solar arcs had a very big influence....i have numerous events, and the solar arc transit perfectly resembles it like:

-when there was a lot of turmoil and i moved out of my house: solar arc moon conjunct sun, solar arc mars conjunct uranus
-when i received my own nice affordable house (and 2 months later my mother moved in and from that moment on i took responsibility for her and her life: solar arc jupiter conjunct MC
-when i started my first significant relationship: solar arc saturn on the 7th cusp
-when i hurt felt hurt, and difficult times in relationships : solar arc venus square chiron
- totally unstable crazy time when i had several lovers: solar arc venus square uranus

So my question is.. who is advanced with solar arcs and their opinion

Septile aspect and 54th year

Michele — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 23:32:30 GMT

Under the Uranus Transit thread, Partha and I began discussing the septile aspect (51.5 degrees) and how it can bring things to fruition by transit and progression. However, it's a very subtle influence while you're going through it, and only major when you have time to look back on it. The progressed Sun makes a septile aspect to the natal Sun when you are about 53-54 years old. If anybody has reached that age, I'm curious as to what your experiences were at the time. Or, if you know of someone who had some transforming experiences at that age, that would work too.

Do I have a T-Square?

Antonis — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:12:42 GMT

The simple chart delineation at astro.com says I do-

T-Square from Moon: 20Cap46'40" to Venus: 18Lib15'29" and Jupiter: 26Ari54'52"

but I am not sure of this because when I got to the Astro Click Portrait it does not list a Jupiter/Moon square or Venus/Moon square, although it does say my Venus opposes Jupiter.

For Fun

Dragon-of-Q — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 06:59:35 GMT

A friend posed this on face book
~~ " Ego conflicts all over the place. Drama Queens and Kings exerting their ‘right’ to be the center of attention. Arguments over who is more important-maybe even an argument over what is more important. Wherever ever you have Aquarius and Leo in your chart is where the battle is." I thought that quote summed it up pretty good ...So beware!~~

So I thought I have some fun. this was my response..

~~The Sun also known as Leo.
"I am the center of the solar system, all my subjects revolve around me, and praise me for my beauty, light and heat, I give life, Bow before me"

Aquarius also known as Uranus.
Clothed in a multi-colored zute suit, tattooed, piercings, wing tipped shoes and a rainbow Mohawk. One blue eye one green.

"Fuck that, I'm a god dam Individual, I bow before no one, you arrogant self centered prick, Kiss my Ass"

Leo rules my 10th house. (MC) that houses Uranus, Pluto and Mars for that matter. Saturn sits on my 4th house cusp.

So pick an axis or what ever, and feel free to express sompin.

Will Pluto bring addiction to Capricornian things?

gabby — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:42:50 GMT

Was watching Rosie on the Oprah show... they were talking about how in the last few years people have become addicted to fame. The people who have it, often, are addicted to the fame they have, and people who don't are increasingly addicted to the fame that they want.

It seems to me that this obsession with fame increased markedly during the Pluto in Sagittarius years. Sagittarius it the sign of fame and media, and certainly Pluto can drive our addictions/obsessions. Pluto entered Sagittarius in 1995, and just two years later Princess Diana died at the hands of crazed paparazzi.

Since then, reality TV has saturated television and "news magazine" shows began feeding us constant entertainment gossip.

I don't think Pluto in Sagittarius has been all bad... the world has become smaller in some ways that are very good. It's good to know and understand other places and other cultures. It's good to be globally connected. But it has not *all* been good, for sure.

And so I wonder, if Pluto can drive a global addiction like it has the fame addiction, then what might the Pluto in Capricorn addiction be, and how should we handle that energy?

Mars in Capricorn

Peter — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 08:10:03 GMT

Mars in Capricorn
is like doing the
Tour De France,
given half a chance.

Stamina and endurance
that's their key,
whilst on that road
to finding ecstacy.

On your Bike
some might say,
whilst they could be living
it up in St Tropez.

For there
it could be amorous,
amongst the
glamorous.

For their dreams,
they're prepared to work,
and enjoy with you
a perk.

So if you can
last the distance,
Mars in Capricorn
know all about persistance.

On that Champions Podium
they belong,
coming at you like
Lance Armstrong.

With victory
in sight,
it could turn
into quite a night.

Just as your
about to reach the finish,
Mars in Capricorn's energies
don't diminish.

Measuring the strength of the aspects in your chart

Antonis — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 01:55:32 GMT

I got the idea for this from a link posted in the "strongest planets in your chart" thread.

http://www.astro.com/cgi/genchart.cgi

Under "choose group", choose pullen/astrolog. Then under "type" choose "simple chart delineation by Walter Pullen". Near the bottom of this report there is a section detailing your chart aspects with analysis of their details that includes a power level.

me for example-

1: Neptune (Cap) Sex (Sco) Pluto - sep 3:21' - power: 37.27

2: Mars (Vir) Squ (Sag) Uranus - sep 2:10' - power: 31.33

3: Jupiter [Ari] Tri (Sag) Uranus - app 3:49' - power: 27.82

4: Saturn (Sag) Con (Sag) Uranus - app 7:05' - power: 25.52

5: Sun (Lib) Squ (Cap) Neptune - sep 2:25' - power: 17.06

6: Mercury (Sco) Con (Sco) Pluto - app 5:33' - power: 11.12

7: Mercury (Sco) Sex (Cap) Neptune - app 2:11' - power: 8.59

8: Jupiter [Ari] Tri (Cap) Neptune - sep 8:22' - power: 8.27

9: Venus (Lib) Sex (Sag) Saturn - sep 2:15' - power: 7.38

10: Mercury (Sco) Opp [Ari] Jupiter - sep 6:10' - power: 4.60

11: Venus (Lib) Sex (Sag) Uranus - app 4:50' - power: 2.63

12: Mars (Vir) Squ (Sag) Saturn - sep 9:16' - power: 2.57

13: Moon (Cap) Squ [Ari] Jupiter - app 6:08' - power: 2.32

14: Venus (Lib) Opp [Ari] Jupiter - app 8:39' - power: 1.82

15: Moon (Cap) Tri (Vir) Mars - app 4:29' - power: 1.66

16: Moon (Cap) Squ (Lib) Venus - sep 2:31' - power: 1.35

My strongest aspect is apparently Neptune sextile Pluto at a power level of 37.27, while my weakest aspect is Moon square Venus at a power level of 1.35. Is this scale of measuring an aspect's power the accepted norm? What is the scale? Is it out of 50? 100? It's very interesting to me.

I figure that the strength effects the impact of the aspect in your life so would it be safe to say that for example my Moon square Venus or other challenging aspects with low power aren't really a big issue for me or other people who have them? Would that also mean that my mars square Uranus could be my life's greatest challenge?

I'm just chock full of questions aren't I.

Mars in Pisces

Peter — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 11:10:11 GMT

Mars in Pisces
adore Love and compassion,
from which there is
no ration.

They''ll dream of desire,
that raises their
fantasies
higher and higher.

They'll go
with the flow,
if their feeling's
are telling them so.

Needing some
creative drive,
so that every part
of them can thrive.

Along time ago,
Elton John
sung Candle in the Wind
about Marylin Monroe.

That Siren
of the Silver Screen,
a Mars in Pisces
once called Norma Jean.

With a good Film Director,
the World became frightened
of Anthony Hopkins
as Hannibal Lector.

Mars in Pisces
can reign supreme,
and make themselves
delicious as Whipped Cream.

Mars in Aquarius

Peter — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 10:48:01 GMT

Mars in Aquarius
can turn the Tables,
with Minds that are like
Electric Cables.

From Space
to New Age,
being Mentally stimulated
is all the rage.

Come on over
and check out their
new Phone,
and spend some time alone.

With something unusual
that turns them on,
or otherwise
they'll be gone.

They'll be delighted,
if it's their Brain
that you've
ignited.

Who wants realistic,
when they could be having
Out of the Body experiences
with a Mystic.

Whilst some commute
long hours on a Train,
Mars in Aquarius is checking out
the Astral Plane.

Fire their imagination,
and they'll follow
you without
hesitation.

Who's worried about Recession,
when Mars in Aquarius
is into
Past Life Regression.

If you think like them
in a different way,
with Mars in Aquarius
you'll be ok.

My Decision to form nonprofit organization this year

I have decided to form the nonprofit neurodiversity organization this year. It was my insecurity which I excuse as realistic that factored into my previously planning to form it in 2014.

Since developing a strong interest in angels,being told my life purpose and experiencing synchronicities confirming that, and reading Don Miguel Ruiz's 4 Agreements, I realized that I can't let fear hold me back. I need to go forward,pursue my aspirations,and just take a chance. My best friend,shaman Steve gave me a number to a CPA who is going to help him form his nonprofit organization. I have already called him up,and he gave me some advice which include forming a corporation and filing for tax exemption.

My current Solar Return period has Sun trine Moon (reinforcing my natal Sun trine Moon with Lunar Return on same day as Solar Return),Sun-Mercury trine Moon,Venus trine Jupiter, and Eris trine Midheaven (reinforcing my natal Eris sextile Midheaven),and so it seems like a great period for me to start the nonprofit neurodiversity organization.

I have already looked for dates. I wanted to form the nonprofit organization with Sun conjunct one of the heliocentric planetary nodes because that tends to indicate a significant event and person. I definitely wanted to avoid hard aspects to Mercury. Retrograde Mercury is out of the question!
I also wanted a strong transneptunian emphasis.

here is chart

Unusual shape of chart?

StoneAgeQueen — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:30:02 GMT

In my chart everything seems to be concentrated on the bottom. What does this mean? My chart is in my pics. I'm thinking it's because I'm very introverted and a bit misanthropic at times. Also I keep my emotions under the surface, even though they can be extreme at times. Is this true? I definitely live in my own little world, not sociable at all.

Mars in Cancer

Peter — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:43:07 GMT

Mars in Cancer
can feel so romantic,
and their desires are
pretty frantic.

When they come
ouf of their shell,
other's upon them
possess a hypnotic spell.

Thoughts and feeling's
roam about the place,
turning them into
an amorous Head case.

Energy that can
be so high,
when love
catches their Eye.

Being able to
emotionally consume,
when they are willing
to make room.

Love lifts is up
where we belong,
Joe Cocker sung
in a song.

The sensitivities
of being Mortal,
and discovering
a security portal.

Something that
can be held onto,
which may be
you.

Love and sex
for them blend,
that for a time
ascends.

It raises the stakes,
until something in
Mars and Cancer
put's on the Brakes.

Mars in Virgo

Peter — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:36:05 GMT

Mars in Virgo
love to please,
and can do anything in detail
with ease.

Thinking and doing
with great skill,
could turn out to be
quite a thrill.

Into all
kinds of perfection,
they'll do a whole lot better
upon closer inspection.

They can be
well Read,
and use
it in Bed.

Well written
Erotic Literature,
could paint
quite a picture..

With their good Mind
they will explore,
and know your body better
than they did before.

Putting it all
under the Microscope,
and perhaps afterwards
attaching some Rope.

Stimulating every
bodily function,
that forms
a junction.

Being serviced
in every concievable way,
Mars in Virgo
know how to use foreplay

It could be quite a
riveting suspense,
as they closely examine
all the evidence.

Mars in Libra

Peter — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:28:01 GMT

They'd rather
Make Love than War,
Mars in Libra
are you sure.

At least give yourself
a fighting chance,
when out for
romance.

A beautiful seduction,
can mean with the
rest of you
an introduction.

Your preferred
Weapons of choice,
can range from the Mind
to a good Voice.

Do you call it Justice
as to who's on top,
but you like what they're doing
so please don't stop.

Or is it
the amorous sensation,
that makes you go into
attack formation.

If you were a Lawyer
I'd rest my case,
so who's it
giving chase.

So let's Arbitrate
for arguments sake,
as there's a passion in you
that does awake.

If you want it all
on a Silver Plate,
how high or low on the Scales
does it rate.

Mars in Libra
adore Art,
but when it comes to Love
watch what you start.

As to it
you'll surrender,
as a part of you yearns
for the warm and tender.

"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death."

Leonardo da Vinci (Sun in Taurus)

http://www.astrologycom.com/tausex.html

Taurus males. . .smoldering, sexy and attentive. But can it really be that good? Well, based on my personal experiences of 13 years spent with one, I can say yes - and no. I guess it just depends on how "progressed" your Taurus male is and how submissive he may be to the stimulation of his five senses.

So before I begin, I'd like to state that there are many, many Taurus males out there that are wonderful husbands, lovers and friends. That being said, I'm sure that you are now guessing where I'm headed with this. . Yep - I'm delving into the "dark side" of the Taurus nature as many of my personal observations over the years centered around such activity. So my apologies to all you wonderful Taurus males out there. Taurians, as many already know, are all about the stimulation of the five senses. When these stimulations are of a positive nature, they love music, good food, the outdoors, sensitive touch and all things sensually related.

However, should a Taurus, males in particular here, fall prey to the stimulation of his darker senses - lookout. It's a folly of gluttony, abuse and self indulgence. Taurus males can become steeped in drugs, alcohol, casual sex, gambling and the like. He may cultivate relationships, both sexual and platonic, outside of a committed relationship as a Plan B of sorts.

Taurians are passive by nature and, being ruled by the planet Venus, that of love, romance and money, have a natural tendency to draw people to them rather than seeking people and relationships out. Taurians are all about security, I should know - I AM one. Nothing pleases a Taurus , male or female, more than stability, a cushy living situation, and security, both financial and emotional.

Due to that nature, a Taurus generally will not act aggressively towards people or situations that secretly they wish to attach themselves to. Rather, a Taurus will somehow manage to draw those people or relationships to them. And our Taurus males in particular are very good at doing so. Sextrology refers to the Taurus males motto being one of "I WILL". . . .have you in the palm of my hand.

And for Taurus males - that's it in a nutshell. Strong yet quiet, masculine yet sensitive, sexual yet unaggressive, these guys have mastered the technique. And once he's caved to stimulation of his darker senses this becomes one of his favorite pastimes. He'll spend many a day and hours of time cultivating "situations" that he will ultimately reap rewards from at a later date. Thus making all his time and effort worth it.

He'll place himself into environments where these situations are more likely to happen and he'll simply sit back and wait. He'll show up time and time again and do this repeatedly until he finally achieves the rapport he's been attempting to build. All the while, he'll be acting coy and clueless in an attempt to disarm you of any agenda you may think he has. You see, for our Taurus males, that IS his agenda. . . .to

disarm you (especially women) and make you think he has no agenda. He wants you to relax and feel comfortable around him, not threatened. And in order to do this he realizes that he must repeatedly make his presence known time and time again so that those around him drop their guard. And once your comfortable and your walls are down, that's when the real work begins. His plan is now in motion and it'll brew at such a slow and steady pace that you'll be none-the-wiser.

Here's a Tidbit From a Taurus Male Profile Based on Sextrology That I Previously Wrote Regarding This Very Subject:

"He operates behind the scenes, always keeping his intentions guarded and others in a constant state of guessing. He is a man of reaction - not one of action. He forces others to play their hand before revealing his own, all the while, he's working his angle behind the scenes. By doing so, our male bull leads a rather stress-free life.

He hangs back in situations, being the master of all he surveys. This ones like a kid in the candy store of life. A huge appetite for pleasure, but lacking the inability to exert abstinence or self-discipline, he's all about the stimulation of the five senses. A come hither kind of guy. His lifelong goal is to be idolized, idolized, idolized - and worshipped by others.

Therefore, he plays a rather submissive role in life and in relationships. If you ask the Taurian male where he'd like to go for dinner that night, most likely, his response will be, "Wherever you'd like to go." He's not much of a decision maker and, honestly, doesn't prefer to wear the pants in a love relationship.

This behavior gets the male bull farther in life and without much effort having to be placed into it. He finds that he usually doesn't have to fight for that which he wants. He waits, he watches, he evaluates. He's a strategist. Once his goals are securable and within his reach - he charges straight for them. He's not a risk taker by nature. He plans and plots, waiting for his desires to ultimately reveal themselves to him. Our male bull tends to build his own small harem of worshippers in life.

He may pal around with younger individuals that look up to him in some way. He may develop a harem of female admirers on the side, of whom he will always refer to as only "friends. A dating pool of sorts, from which he can pull from at his leisure, if need be, or if his preferred stable relationship should happen to sour in his eyes. And by souring, I mean - if you stop worshipping him and the idol that he envisions himself to be."

So ladies, if you find yourself involved with, or gunning for, a Taurian male you may find one of the nicest, most attentive and sexual guys on the planet - or you might find yourself trapped in a sea of confusion and self doubt. So when dealing with a Taurian male it might pay to ask questions and study body language.

Most important of all. . . .find out where's he's spending most of his time. That will give you a glimpse into his motives and the situations that he's attempting to attach himself to.

Lights, Camera, Action,
Mars in Leo
love to be a
Star Attraction.

Just let them
take centre stage,
and not confined
to a cage.

Love is their juice,
and can put it
to good
use.

Once brightly flamed,
these sexy beasts
will ravish you
untamed.

Quite a lover
in the sack,
then rolling over
and purring on their Back..

In the bedroom
they like to play,
and can get quite
carried away.

With strong and ardent
sexual powers,
that could go on
for hours.

They are not
cowardly Lions at all,
especially when they're
having themselves a ball.

So entering their part
of the Jungle will be alright
but just remember
A WIMOWEH, THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT!,

Meaning of Love
http://weloved.com/meaning_love/introduction.htm

If you are looking for love, would you recognize it if you found it?
Can you tell the difference between love and infatuation?
Between love and attraction?
Between love and sexual desire?
Between love and friendship?
Between sex and intimacy?
Between a good relationship and one that is only pleasurable?

The Meaning of Love offers and explains a definition of love in a way that is interesting, intense, clear, logical, and meaningful. All relationships --love, infatuation, friendship, dating, marriage, family, community, and professional-- involve three key elements:

Emotions --how we feel about each other
Ethics --how good or bad we are for each other
Joys --how much we satisfy or dissatisfy each other

These determine the quality of our relationships; and The Meaning of Love explains how they interrelate, and why attraction --the normally considered most important emotional element and conventional hallmark of love-- is not sufficient to signify a relationship as one of love, no matter how strong or how enduring that attraction may be

Astrology and Numerology

Paul — Sat, 25 Feb 2006 07:09:17 GMT

I'm of the opinion that numerology most likely has very little merit on its own. That being said - I'm open to the idea that it may have merit when combined with somthing like astrology.

So heres the question - how does your numerology relate, if at all, to your astrology chart? If your not familiar with your numerology, it can be found here: http://www.sun-angel.com/numerology/report_free_full.php

Expression: 7
Soul Urge: 8
Persona: 8
Destiny: 8

Interestingly enough - I'm also a Scorpio stellium, which is the 8th sign of the zodiac. That being said, my expression number also reflects my need for solitude and reflection.

Has anyone ever tried rectifying a chart for someone who has no idea what time they were born? This is the case with both my parents and it drives me crazy!
I get the basic ideas: find some major life events and try and line them up with major transits, progressions etc, but has anyone actually been successful in doing this, for example in a blind test where the birth time is known but kept secret?

Retrograde planets in Birthchart

I thought I would share this link which I found explaining the influence on the individual with planets in retrograde in their birthchart. I have Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto and Uranus all in retrograde which has concerned me for a while as I was told by an astrologer some years ago that retrograde planets are a bad thing to have in your chart

I did a bit of research on the net and found this site, I've always loved astrology but am fairly new to the technicalities, this link has helped put my mind at rest a bit....... from what I understand having a certain planet in retrograde means having to learn a "life lesson" of sorts? maybe it's not all doom and gloom after all?

SO if anyone else has anymore ideas or info on planets in retrograde I'd be interested to hear x

Mars in Taurus

Peter — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:05:29 GMT

Mars in Taurus
can be like all
thing's sweet,
and possess a sensual heat.

They can be
very sexy Women and Men,
and will love you
over and over again.

Not going like other's
at a frantic pace,
as they don't need
to race.

Softly and gently
is the best approach,
rather than come at them
like a StageCoach.

Building up
to an ultimate climax,
after they
relax.

For when the moment
is right,
they'll be back for more
after a brief respite.

Being solid as
the Earth,
being priceless
is what they're worth.

They'll do everything well,
but won't rush,
even when you have on them
a crush.

Slow and steady
is the best plan,
for a sexy Mars in Taurus
Woman or Man.

Get them in
the right mood,
and you'll be having quite
a romantic interlude.

Neptune on an Angle

varoom — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 04:50:05 GMT

Please tell me if you live with this or if it's just visiting. Mine is just visiting the 10th, and nothing ever 'just visits,' right? They're already a relative, or they wouldn't be so intimate.

A heavy (planet) doesn't transit your angle very often..a time to pay attention (or in Neptune's case, to lose attention). Had the Pluto on the DSC, 7 years ago and it rocked my world (NOT...my mercury sells this one, it sucked!). This one (Neptune on the MC), feels dreamier and, well, it's almost in its own sign so hopefully, I'm better equipped.

I've been having dreams, weird dreams about all the dead in my family (check out my 4th, Pluto and Uranus there and well, I'm primarily Northern hemisphere, so lots of visions). Would love to know about your Neptunian transits or being neptunian by nature...

just finalized a break up - eclipse related?

meldrc — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 02:17:17 GMT

What's interesting is that this bf & I met & got involved during this summer's eclipses in cancer & capricorn. Now, 6 months later, there occurs another round of eclipses in cancer & capricorn & we break up. Our break up talks started in mid-December, though we continued to see each other & touch base regularly. Then this weekend... we had a weird night together & in the past 24 hours finalized the break up for real.

Also... today I realized that I have moon & venus roughly conjunct this coming solar eclipse on Jan. 15th, which will be at 25-26 degrees Capricorn. (my moon is 24 degrees cap, & my venus is 20'50 degrees cap)

Any thoughts or insights on the different eclipses' role in all of this - OR - my moon/venus conjunction with this next solar eclipse in particular?

Many thanks! :)

When I'm looking for an astrology book, I never find one, its when I'm not looking they fall off shelves.
So the other day, I was kneeling down looking at fabrics and one dropped on me from the top shelve while I was browsing through the tanglements..
Has anyone heard of Ted George? The book is titled : The lives you live as revealed in the heavens ( two thunderbolts embossed) A history of karmic astrology and pertinent delineations.
If you've read this book, what do you think about his interpretations? Have you found them accurate in your chart?
As long as I've been hobbying astrology, I've never heard of this person. I thought passing this book title around to all of you whom are interested in old/new books in astrology. He has some interesting viewpoints I've never read before. He writes about Black Moon Lilith, Persephone ruler of Libra, Vulcan ruler of Virgo, Paragon the Dark twin of Mercury...very interesting so far, even if I'm not in agreeance with his views. Its been so far, a fun read.

Supreme Court gives Corporation free reign on lobbying

gabby — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 21:31:47 GMT

I don't know if any of y'all have heard about this yet, but this morning the Supreme Court made a decision that challenges 100 years of campaign finance regulations. This gives corporations unprecedented power over government, more than it has ever had before.

Definitely a Pluto in Capricorn issue. But what else can we learn from the chart? The news broke at 9:58am EST in Washington, D.C. on January 21, 2010.

Wish I could find the time for the official announcement, which was sometime this morning, but I can't. Also of course have no idea when the Supreme Court actually came to their decision (which of course happened before the announcement came, and likely happened sometime yesterday).

Anyway... what information can we glean from the chart for when the Assoc. Press broke the news? I'll post the chart as well, or you can use the information provided above to look it up for yourself.

Myers-Briggs and the Nodal Axis - Case study: me.

MantisReligiosa — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:44:20 GMT

I just got into the Myers-Briggs personality assessment this last week-again-and realized, after reading several descriptions of my own personality type, of INTP, called a "Rational" type, is that it seems to really reflect my Nodal Axis "situation". Particularly the one according to the whole sign house system..

Lemme post one very structured description:

A description of the INTP Personality Type

by Paul James

Original version: April 5, 1999
revised and published on the web: March 12, 2000

INTP is one of the 16 personality types defined in the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). I will assume that visitors to this page already have a basic knowledge of the MBTI system for I wish to concentrate on describing the INTP type as best I can. The descriptions below are based on personal experience combined with knowledge derived from other MBTI sources and I hope that other INTPs and non-INTPs alike may find some of this material illuminating. This page may be updated and expanded when appropriate.

For a general introduction and overview of MBTI temperament analysis, visit Robert Winer's excellent resource at Gesher.

INTPs are about 1% of the general population, making this one of the rarest of types. The basic dynamic of the INTP is illustrated in the following table:

RANK of FUNCTION FUNCTION ORIENTATION
Dominant Thinking Introverted ( Ti )
Secondary iNtuition Extraverted ( Ne )
Tertiary Sensing Introverted ( Si )
Inferior Feeling Extraverted ( Fe )

Primary Axis: Introverted Thinking - Extraverted Intuition

The INTP is above all a thinker and his inner (private) world is a place governed by a strong sense of logical structure. Every experience is to be rigorously analysed, the task of the INTP's mind is to fit each encountered idea or experience into a larger structure defined by logic. For here is the central goal of the INTP: to understand and seek truth. The experience of anything takes a back seat. The INTP is not interested in experiences themselves but is far more fascinated by concepts. The drive to understand things that are not yet understood is a very powerful force in the life of an INTP. Where the Ti preference is strong, this drive can override the experiential element so strongly that the INTP will become quickly bored with anything that he has successfully analysed to the point of understanding it. Once understood, it has nothing left to offer, once the satisfaction which comes with achieving the goal of understanding diminishes. Indeed, most primary interests of an INTP are things which he cannot fully understand, usually because they are highly complex or have some exotic, mystical element that does not yield to analysis. This is the real reason why INTPs are drawn to complexity: anything simple is too quickly understood and cannot hold the fascination for long. Similarly, proficiency in any area (which requires continual practice after understanding) is not such a driving force as it might be for NTJs, for example. While a judging NT will often seek to become master of his field, an INTP is satisfied by analysing it alone. The latter is often more of dabbler with ideas which leads me on to his second crucial aspect: detachment.

The Ti-Ne axis leads to a curious overriding desire to observe from a detached position, indicating the preference for intuitive perception with respect to external things. Since accurate analysis needs to avoid becoming hampered with details or being influenced by the actions of others, the INTP invariably seeks to withdraw, at least in spirit, from the situation being considered. This detachment can sometimes be so marked that he will readily see himself as a neutral observer having no personal association with that going on around him (unless forced to become directly involved through an attack on his principles). The INTP enjoys speculating about how a news item (for example) might be received by other people or how a point of view might offend certain types of people and be supported by yet other types; but to have a point of view of his own rarely seems relevant! This also indicates that Feeling is his least developed function. The argument may even be made that "points of view" and "opinions" are irrelevant since only objective truth counts. In reality, INTPs can often become far less objective than they think they ought to be: precisely at those times when the under-developed Feeling gnaws at his being.

I think this so-called "primary axis" is enough to encompass the main issues presented by my nodal axis, as well. But, if you're curious, here's the whole article: http://www.intp.org/intprofile.html

And here's the test I took to find out my personality type: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

And now, my nodal axis...

according to the whole sign house system, my North Node is in 4 d Pisces, conjunct Mercury in 3 d Pisces, sextile Uranus in 5 d Capricorn, in the 7th house.
South Node in 4 d Virgo, opposite Mercury in 3d Pisces, trine Uranus in 5 d Capricorn, and in the 1st house.

Both Nodes are squared by Moon-Mars-Jupiter in 0 d Gemini.

In Pacidus, same thing, except my North Node's in my 6th, and South Node is in the 12th.

However, a Virgo-Pisces Nodal axis set on the 1st and 7th houses pretty much sounds exactly like "Introverted Thinking - Extraverted Intuition", doesn't it?
Also goes perfectly well with the other defining traits of "introverted sensing"-Virgo(earth sign, which primarily functions through the 5 senses) in the 1st house(self-preoccupied and self-absorbed), and "extraverted feeling"- Pisces, the most feeling dominated of signs, in the 7th house, the house of "the others".

yes ANOTHER reason to flush Placidus' house system down the toilet.

So, what do you think? am I on to something?

Also, I realize it's a lot of work for just one thread, on one tribe, on one site you normally check in your limited time online, but I would REALLY appreciate it if you could also take the test and post your personality type, with its dominant features, as well as your Nodal Axis situation-nodes by signs, and houses (in the whole sign house system, please), with all their major aspects.

Thank you, thank you very much...LOL.

The Days of the Zodiac

MantisReligiosa — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:49:59 GMT

I know there was a similar link about this before, but this site's a different take on that: http://pisceswoman.net/

Mine's pretty accurate in illustrated how my particular day of birth separates itself from the other "Fish".

March 12 Birthday

YOUR SIGN - Pisces

YOUR ELEMENT - Water

YOUR RULERS - Neptune, Mars, Jupiter

The Astrological Interpretation

Your birth date of March 12 Pisces has a particular connection to the planet of Jupiter and this can influence a desire to expand your creative possibilities through travel and higher knowledge.

It is very likely that you may feel a strong sense of mission in life and you will spend a considerable amount of time in trying to identify the reality of what that mission is.

Those folk who understand and who support you in your search will become your teachers and close friends. It is these people who deserve to receive your loyalty, respect and your help in return.

Take care however, that you do not end up in relationships that fail to encourage and support your true nature.
Since there is a great deal of sexual energy related to this birthday of March 12 you can be driven by sexual attraction above other considerations.

As a March 12 birthday person you will identify within yourself as a person who has a strong interested in power.

You are more interested in the concepts of power rather than in the actual possession of great power for yourself personally.

Where your particular field of work provides you with a fulfilment in the spiritual sense, then you are certainly on the right course in your life.

Alternatively, where there is any duality between what you do and who you are, it is more than likely that you will lose energy and real opportunity for success.

The March 12 blends assertiveness with acute sensitivity so that at times you can run and hide while at other times you must put yourself forward.

Imagine a stream of water that flows around, under, and over a rock. The rock never impedes the water’s flow. Try carrying a piece of Amethyst or Clear crystal to support you.

On the home front, if you really want to feel comfortable in your living room, include some antique maps and/or a small statuette made from white marble or, some other similar material.

These are items will not only do wonders for your self-esteem, you can gain enjoyment from them when you are relaxing at the end of the day.

A romantic home piece for March 12 women would be an old-fashioned vanity table. For men, twin wash sinks and a wooden valet sited in their dressing area.

In keeping with your March 12 artistic appreciation surround yourself with articles that are in tune with your eye for beauty.

You find that the rhythm of words or melody always soothing so keep some volumes of your favourite poetry to hand so you can read a few passages during those available moments.

In your outdoors scenario, March 12 will find great enjoyment from a water park with lots of rides, slides, and activity. So, why not consider constructing a pool in your garden?

Or if possible, reside near a river or small creek to take emotional benefit from that water activity.

Since water is your element you may well feel disoriented if you are too far from it.

This day of March 12 also has aspects that are auspicious for farmers. If you happen to live in a city and completely lack any knowledge of, or inclination for farming, you might like to consider a hobby associated with the land such as growing your own vegetables at home.

Your special magic numbers are: 6 and 9.

The twelfth day of the third month reduces to six, and the number six represents balanced polarities and the harmony of opposites.

This date of March 12 also embodies the path of a spiritual mandate in the form of an inherent sense of rightness. You must take caution however to avoid letting rightness develop into self-righteousness.

As a March 12 you can only be responsible for your path and your choices, but remember that in the case of other folk they have to make their own path and choices.

You should always strive for the highest goals that you are capable of achieving.

Take inspiration from music, a loud rendition of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony should inspire you.

To strengthen your resolve try owning and carrying some Lapis, or Peridot pieces.

The seventy-second day of the year reduces to nine, and it is the number nine that contributes the energy of finality and completion.

Try climbing to the top of a hill to watch the sunrise over a mountain peak or, consider a period for personal seclusion and meditation.

What's Your Animal Yoni?

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 16:12:25 GMT

Vedic astrology or Jyotish has a detailed method for analyzing the compatibility of two people's Moons. It is called the kuta system, and it compares two people's nakshatras (lunar asterisms) to reach a point total. Anything over 20 points is considered fit for marriage.

One factor that is interesting is the animal yoni. There are 27 nakshatras, and each nakshatra corresponds to either the penis or vagina of an animal. The yoni is supposed to tell you something about your sexuality, and even the size and shape of your genitalia. The most compatible combo is a penis and a vagina of the same animal. Animals of the same type (both predators or both ruminants, etc.) are also compatible. There are certain combinations (like cow & tiger or monkey & sheep - can't even picture that second one!) that are especially incompatible. Two vaginas are considered more compatible than two penises.

Without getting into the compatibility part, I am offering to plug your information into my software and tell you your nakshatra and animal yoni. Just post your birth info to the thread if you'd like to know.

David Ray,
Vedic astrologer

Aquarius ~ Do Only What Only You Can Do

maryellenmarshall — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 08:28:03 GMT

AQUARIUS - DO ONLY WHAT ONLY YOU CAN DO
by Guru Rattana, Ph.D.
January 19, 2009

I. SKY EVENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The SUN moves into AQUARIUS January 19 at 8:28 PM PST (January 20 at 4:28 AM GMT)

JANUARY 29-30 - LEO FULL MOON at 10 degrees 10:18 PM PST (JAN 30 - 6:18 AM GMT)

FEBRUARY 13-14 - AQUARIUS NEW MOON at 25 degrees 6:53 PM PST (FEB 14 - 2:53 AM GMT)

MARS is retrograde in Leo from December 20 through March 10, 2010.

SATURN is retrograde from January 13 until May 30.

JANUARY 17 - JUPITER moved into Pisces territory for about one year.

NOVEMBER 15 through August 2010 - SATURN in LIBRA and PLUTO in CAPRICORN form a square at 5 degrees of their respective signs.

II. COSMIC INDICATORS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LEO FULL MOON - JANUARY 29-30

The Leo full moon helps us open our heart - where we discover and are inspired to make our special contribution to the world. Mars in Leo conjuncts this full moon, giving us the courage and passion to do what it takes to realize our dreams.

The Leo archetype reminds us that there is something special that only YOU can do. If YOU do not do it, it will not get done! If you don't make YOUR contribution, it will never be made! This is an extremely important fact, and one that we must take seriously.

I offer you one of the guiding touchstones for my life - DO ONLY WHAT ONLY YOU CAN DO. This guideline gives me permission to keep on task. And it makes me happy because the only things I really want to do are the things that only I can do. Living my life this way positions me in a win-win relationship with myself, the world and the universe.

FROM SOCIAL CONDITIONING TO SELF-EXPRESSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part of our social conditioning includes the following erroneous ideas.
(1) We can be replaced.
(2) Someone else can do what we can do.
(3) And maybe someone else can do our job even better than us.

These lies create a sense of powerlessness, a lack of self-worth and resignation to just get by. But these are not the truth!

When this negative conditioning controls our psyche, we live in mediocrity, our heart remains closed and we suffer a deep existential pain. There is no way we can be truly happy with a self-depreciating attitude that feeds feelings of insignificance, instead of supporting our invaluable worth.

Leo's wound is fear rejection, which causes the Lion to avoid being authentic - in order to escape any chance of being criticized or belittled. Our Leo path is to overcome this fear and to delight in our authentic self-expression. The Leo archetype teaches us
(1) to shine our light,
(2) to be guided by our heart,
(3) to share love with passion and
(4) to live from our truth.

YOU ARE A PIECE IN THE COLLECTIVE PUZZLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Aquarian archetype offers Leo the perfect environment for self-expression - unity in diversity. In an Aquarian world, each person's uniqueness is not only honored and appreciated, it is necessary for the healing and highest expression of the whole. Think of an Aquarian world as the finished puzzle that is put together with our all individual pieces. What if there is one piece missing? What if that piece is you and your contribution?

Friends, we are in the process of putting together a new Aquarian age world. There are many pieces missing in our planetary Aquarian puzzle. Hop to it and offer your piece! Doesn't even the thought make you feel good? Joy is our reward for offering our special piece to the collective puzzle.

We are at a stage of human history where individually and collectively we are forging a new path. The way to monitor whether you are on the right path for you is to be attentive to where you are at on the 'happy and at peace' vs.' unhappy and struggle' meter.

SATURN - PLUTO SQUARE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Leo full moon is intensified by the second of three exact squares between Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn. This square is exact January 31. (The first one was November 15, 2009. The third one is on August 21.) This waning square signals the end of a cycle, which precipitates a crisis in consciousness. During the last phase of a cycle, we have
(1) to shift our perspective,
(2) to let go of the old and
(3) be willing to discover and operate from new ground rules.

The ground rules are set by Aquarius. Hierarchical and patriarchal structures based on competition, control, inequity and exploitation are going to have to give way to attitudes and structures that foster collective benefit, equality, collaboration, and sustainability. Of course, the old will fight, and is fighting, to retain its power and to stay in control.

The cardinal square initiates new beginnings (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.) We are at the BEGINNING of a new phase. Things aren't going to automatically change in 2012, when the Aquarian age 'officially' begins. We are the pioneers, whose participation will determine how change happens. Our innovative pioneering spirit begins and is sustained in our minds and our hearts.

AQUARIUS NEW MOON - FEBRUARY 13-14
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the Aquarian new moon, the Sun and the Moon are conjunct Chiron and Neptune. Mercury is also in Aquarius. With 5 heavenly bodies in Aquarius, Aquarian energy is abundantly available to uplift us and to move us into higher states of Aquarian consciousness.

This new moon is very special because Chiron and Neptune connect only once every 57-80 years. The last time was 65 years ago in September 1945 in Libra right after World War II. February 16 is the exact rendezvous of Chiron and Neptune. But the impact of their interaction lasts for seven years. They orbit within 10 degrees of each other between 2007 and 2014.

Healing our personal relationship with the collective is the theme of this new moon and the Chiron/Neptune conjunction. We are being supported in discovering and offering our special contribution to global healing.

CHIRON AND THE AQUARIAN AND NEPTUNE ARCHETYPES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The asteroid Chiron was discovered in 1977. The Chiron archetype represents our wounds and how they can be healed. It offers us a methodology for healing the wounds that continue to plague us until we get to the core of the conditioning that causes and perpetuates our pain.

The Aquarian and Neptune archetypes give us the following formulas for healing -
(1) freedom through service,
(2) joy through contribution and
(3) liberation through kindness.

To heal and claim our gifts
(1) We must release the fear conditioning that keep us enslaved to the pain and struggle mode.
(2) We must establish our Divine Connection to transcend our illusion of separation from the Infinite.
(3) And we must open our hearts to experience our connection with all humanity.

HEALING OUR AQUARIAN WOUNDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each archetype represents a different archetypical wound and a solution for its healing. There is an element of irony in each archetypical wound. Our wounds are expressed as challenges and apparent weakness that are exactly opposite to our innate gifts and strengths.

Ironically, the Aquarian wound is feeling left out or ostracized by the larger community of which we are all a part. Our Aquarius wound can be healed by making our special contribution to the world. To heal, we must be of service to the greater whole and work for the greater good. In service, we experience the human condition and open our hearts. It is through offering our unique gifts that we become a contributory instrument to the human evolutionary process. Nothing makes Aquarius happier than advancing the evolution of the human condition.

The archetypical energy of Chiron in Aquarius makes it possible to resolve a very basic internal struggle. Inner conflict is created by the false assumption that if we are true to ourselves and follow our own path, we have to forfeit our sense of belonging to our community. The contrary is actually true.

Any act of kindness, any service that we willing share can shift our experience of 'feeling left out' and release the imprint of isolation from our energy field. The reality is that the more we embrace our authentic selves and follow our own truth, the more we have to offer. The more we actively participate in the world, the more we connect with others and the more we experience our common humanity.

Our healing happens as we open our hearts, where we experience our oneness with all human beings. This oneness transcends ideology, nationality, race, sex and religious belief systems. Love exists and compassion expresses beyond categories.

OFFER LOVE AND KINDNESS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Venus conjunct Jupiter in Pisces infuses this new moon with sweet loving energy. They remind us that the most important contribution we can make is to offer love and kindness. Aquarius and Pisces, the last two signs of the zodiac, are collective, not personal signs. These archetypes teach us that we do not have to know an individual personally or to bring them into our inner circle to make a difference in their lives and to impact the collective whole.

Everyone suffers from some wound. Everyone wants to feel valued. The Aquarian/Piscean ideal is that we all interact with our fellow human beings with caring, respect and politeness. This is actually a radical concept. And until recently and for many still, so is the idea that our thoughts, attitudes and emotional state determine the state of the world.

So don't think that you have to do some big outrageous project to contribute your piece of the puzzle. Give to someone you don't know. Be kind to someone you will never see again. Offer a gift of healing that will never get recognition, except in your own heart. The universe records your acts of kindness. Your generous spirit makes your aura radiant and makes you happy for no calculated reason.

III. SET YOURSELF FREE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every archetype teaches us another way to tap into our authentic power. Leo teaches us that we have to harness our fire power to light our light and to open our heart. Aquarius teaches us to establish our connection with the Unified Field and Universal Mind so that we can be the vessels to download solutions to our individual and collective problems.

Everyone has Aquarian energy somewhere in their soul blueprint. You can identify how and where Aquarius manifests in your being by locating in your birth chart the house and planets in Aquarius. Those with Sun, Moon, Ascendant or several planets in Aquarius will feel distinctly Aquarian.

THE AQUARIAN FORMULA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we move into the Aquarian age, it is essential that we understand the inner workings of the Aquarian archetype. The following themes help us understand the nature of Aquarian energy and how it expresses - genius, unconventional, daring, forward thinking, independent attitude, rebellious behavior and passion for change and evolution. Aquarian energy is life renewing and offers us greater than human abilities and gifts from higher powers.

Aquarius genius is opportunistic. "It steals from the field of possibilities, rearranges the old laws, and shifts the current paradigm. In an intuitive flash, it sees a new way to solve an old problem." *(1) Thomas Edison is a perfect example. He discovered electricity. Edison found out how to harness this energy source, but the electricity itself does the work.

The Aquarian formula includes -
(1) Look at the situation as an outsider without an opinion, which requires moving from our dualistic mind to our neutral mind.
(2) Rise above the problem, which requires creating space in our mind to connect with the Universal Mind.
(3) See the situation from a fresh perspective, which may require a leap in consciousness.
(4) Connect with the higher power.
(5) Have confidence in the higher power to do the impossible.

DETACHED GENIUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aquarian energy as expressed through human beings has some qualities that baffle other signs. Aquarius has a 'hot - cold' quality that must be understood beyond the personality level. Aquarian warmth and friendliness can disappear without warning. In a flash the Water Bearer becomes detached, cool, and appears insensitive to the subtle needs of others. The 'What's your problem?' attitude leaves us wondering what happened?

The detached attitude of Aquarius comes with the territory. Aquarius is wired that way. The Aquarian ability to seemingly escape to another planet is part of its genius. Aquarius is 'out there' in the cosmic realms making him/herself available to be a channel for new ideas and inventions.

The Universe needs some of us to pay attention and to be channels for its inventive wisdom. The Water Bearers are the designated vessels to fulfill this function. Water symbolizes the medium of universal consciousness through which selected infinite possibilities are received in physical reality.

Aquarian detachment is necessary to further our evolutionary process. It is required to be fully available to innovative possibilities. We have to be able to be emotionally detached and to not be dependent upon others to play our revolutionary and often unpopular role.

LIVE OUTSIDE THE BOX, BUT IN THE WORLD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We create our belief system from our early childhood experiences. Social rejection is an archetypical theme and wound of Aquarius. Aquarian stories revolve around how others view us and our position in the group. Aquarian wounds are universal and include feeling like an outcast, inferior, left out, ostracized and rejected.

Aquarians must feel like they belong to their community. Aquarians are attached to the support and camaraderie of the group. At the same time, Aquarius knows that the need for others' approval, recognition and love creates dependence and can interfere with our ability to carry out our social responsibility. The Aquarian 'hot-cold' trait is a safety valve so that we do not get too attached. Independence is required to do our job of being an open channel for universal wisdom and to fearlessly take an unpopular revolutionary stand when necessary.

By the way, if you ever find yourself confronted by a cold 'What's your problem?' attitude, first, don't take it personally. Second, check out your own need for approval and work on cultivating the ability to be detached yourself. Third, this is a good opportunity to not impose your neediness on someone else and to give another person the space he or she needs.

Aquarius teaches us that if we want to be free, we have to live outside the box, where we have the space to discover our own rhythm and dance our own dance. In sync with our own soul blueprint, we tune into the special contribution that we can make to our community. This contribution is inspired from within, not dictated from outside. But it is to the world that we offer our gifts that forward the evolution of human kind.

WE SET OURSELVES FREE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have to free ourselves from social conditioning to align ourselves with the true expression of our soul and to be instruments of change. We do this not by picking fights with institutions and their representatives. We do so by liberating ourselves from our inner conditioning. We discover our own route and role as we progress on our journey. Our heart and our truth lead the way.

The Aquarius and Leo are polarities. As Leo learns Aquarian detachment, it can quit acting out in a childlike manner. On the other hand, heart-centered Leo makes sure that the Aquarian detachment doesn't become cold and ruthless. We can become so detached that we distance ourselves from others' and shut off our own hearts. We heal our inner child by first opening our hearts to ourselves.

We unravel our conditioning one layer at a time. We have to quiet the rat race in our mind so we can hear our own truth. We have to keep our inner space open so there is room for Divine intervention. We can see the light only when we are not preoccupied with darkness.

What are you going to do when you are free? Start now and you will set yourself free in the process. Cosmically connected Aquarius reminds us - it's easier than we think.

CLEAR YOUR SPACE WHILE THE SUN IS IN AQUARIUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While the Sun is in Aquarius is an opportune time to get a jump start on the Aquarian age. Alignment with our soul and universal forces are key to thriving in these transformational times.

During this time you can use Aquarian magic and miracle energy to support your illumination and healing and to find answers to your questions and solutions to your problems. The basic guidelines include the following. Make these directives part of your Sadhana for 40 days and watch how your shifts in consciousness. Wahe Guru!!

* Go into your own sacred space. Disconnect from outside influences

* Empty your space so that you can plug into the universal mind. No attachment, no expectations, only emptiness is required. Hold your space open and clear. Your reference point is clarity

* Simply be available or put your question or your problem in the field of infinite possibilities and let universal wisdom choose the best answer.

* Sit in clear receptivity as though you were an antenna available to receive messages, healing and any assistance that wants to come to you and through you.

* Open yourself up to possibilities by focusing on the space, emptiness, neutrality, openness, and expansiveness in your mind.

* Remember, you don't have to do the healing or find the answers yourself. But you do have to make yourself available.

* Be awake and aware. Be clear. Don't space out. Be attentive.

* Be present in your body so you are home when the postman comes.

* Let the right solution appear without attachment or expectations.

* Let others come forward into this clear space, if they choose to join you or not. Their choice is their choice, not yours. This is detachment.

* Your job is to create an open space. Don't fill up the space with emotions, negativity, fear, expectations or the need to be right.

* Take care of yourself. Where do you want to be? Create the space that you want for yourself.

* Be at peace within yourself, relaxed, happy, enjoying the moment, autonomous and free.
