On the 15th ‘right’ thinking can lead to healing and can set you on a very positive course forward; the question is, what constitutes ‘right thinking’? Imaginative ways of sharing information, a willingness to connect with others over a common idea or goal, and becoming more informed yourself all qualify. And the result is that by the 16th we’ve come up with some clear choices and really effective ways to take action, inspired by a burgeoning awareness of precisely what power we hold, and what we can do to enhance our own agency. One mistake we might make is to believe we can ‘buy’ health or affection–or that only those who are flawless can attract love or money, or deserve healing. I’m here to tell you those ideas are both needlessly depressing and wrong-headed. Do take care with expressing yourself, though, as words are much more powerful at this point than we might anticipate–and so may become weapons, or at least highly destructive, even (and maybe especially) if we don’t mean them to–and then there’s the possibility we ‘hypnotize’ ourselves into believing something with no basis in reality

The indicators on the 17th suggest that we may see opportunity and think optimistically–and yet find ourselves at odds with the social order overall or with the facts as we know them at present. We need to know that though the mental faculties are ‘healthy’, thinking may be too easily influenced by things we’ve actively chosen to ignore–thus setting up negative outcomes, should we be unwilling to consider the way the unexpected has intruded into our plans, should we be unwilling to acknowledge we don’t know everything, and should we be unwilling to trust our instincts. Be willing, tick all those boxes, and you’ll likely see today and its events as highly fortuitous, whether that brings rewards from your own efforts or ‘luck’ in one of her many guises.

The 18th we may refuse to recognize boundaries, rules, and restrictions, may reject reality or the need to make real, concerted effort, and thereby crash and burn. The key to success today is an unflinching acceptance of things as they actually are, and an open-eyed willingness to do something about current circumstances.

Have a lovely weekend, all!

Your Weekend 8-10 May 2020 Proceed With Caution

07 Thursday May 2020

astrology, My Weekend Astro Diary, Saturn Retrograde, The Astro Essence

By bryan… from Taipei, Taiwan – Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, 名古屋, なごやし, 愛知縣, 愛知県, あいちけん, 日本, にっぽん, にほん, CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=66511356

Friday the 8th is quiet, and yet we may hear whispers that are worrying or wounding–but is this really what’s happening? We may be a little hyper-sensitive when it comes to our values, and in particular, right now we may be treating our beliefs about our health and well-being as sacrosanct. Realize that sensitivity is making us reactive. That’s an understandable response when we feel vulnerable; being aware that we’re too touchy (and that others are, too) will keep things from spinning out of control and so causing real injury.

By the 9th, if we’re having a hard time making good decisions, it’s likely because we’re afraid: of being wounded further, of actually having power (and so being completely responsible), or of whatever changes true awareness might bring. We’re rejecting the still, small voice within in favor of the big, blasting air horn of alarm in our heads. Power struggles, or at least negotiations over territory and reach, are inevitable at this point; the more comfortable we are with hard-edged realities, and the more clearly we are able to focus on goals for the future, the better for us overall.

And then it’s the 10th, which features stationary Saturn finally beginning to retrograde. And what’s the atmosphere in which this happens? We are optimistic (maybe overly so), looking for opportunities, and trying to flee our own doubts, which nag at us. We may think that if we can just concentrate on goals, we’ll make progress and beat having to deal with those subjects we’d like to ignore or are in denial about, but that won’t actually work. Some of these issues can be tucked away long-term and dealt with later, thanks to Saturn’s withdrawal (this is the most likely option if these topics are ruled by Saturn natally, or are related to the House Saturn is currently transiting). The rest, though, if we insist on ignoring them, leave us open to deception or delusion. With the ‘right’ mindset (mostly one of trusting the facts as well as ourselves, especially trusting that if we are informed we can make the right choices), and our attention focused on channeling creative or spiritual energy, we’ll redeem the day and, perhaps unexpectedly, deal successfully with at least some of what we tried to ignore.

Saturn’s turnaround typically has one of two effects: it either withdraws support to something we’d hoped to build on, instituting (often unexplainable) delays, or it suddenly and again, inexplicably, removes impediments that seemed, shortly before, to be unbreachable. I find that everyone consistently responds to the Saturn retrograde cycle in one of these ways, and I encourage everyone to determine which is your typical response, as knowing can aid timing and mark where and when you can make progress, and where it might otherwise be prohibited (and that saves a lot of energy!) It was a revelation for me when I discovered that I actually have a positive response to Saturn’s retrograde, with obstacles falling away on its reversal. Learning that showed me that one-size-fits-all definitions of astro events, well, just don’t fit all!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Mercury and Venus both move into Libra the 14th–not a big deal, but indicative of a general trend toward cooperation, toward seeking a partner, toward getting together to talk it out–and this in spite of an underlying disharmony on the 15th in communications and overall in relationships and relating. Too, on the 15th the ability to think clearly about the financial situation or earning opportunities is too much influenced by others–and that means poor choices (or at least ones that don’t suit you as well as they should)–and what we don’t attend to will shape the future. Those poor choices might include an illusion that being powerful or in charge of our own lives might damage our health–and that in itself may keep us from making moves with our own well-being where it belongs, firmly central to all considerations.

25 August 2019 Fellow Travelers

astrology, Born Today, For those born today, Good Day To . . ., My Daily Astrology Diary, My Weekend Astro Diary, The Astro Essence

‘Flusslandschaft’ (River Landscape) Attributed to Adolf Kaufmann, before 1916 {{PD}}

Certain things will display their harmony today, and it will be these pulled-together influences that drive most of the action. It’s likely to feel as if we step into a river, the current swift, everything already in full motion, and this will carry us far, if we are able to surrender to it, rather than struggle against it. ‘Going with the flow’, trite as this phrase can be, may be exactly what gets us more of what we aim for, and this happens in a smart way, having the benefit of either challenging us to muster the Chirotic skill or to help us heal. There are only two issues, really: 1) we won’t be able to use the enthusiasm, sheer vitality, and positive tenor in the air if we’re too focused on gaining power and fulfilling our own ambitions, and 2) we must be vigilant to indulgences that may seem minor, ‘just this once’, or considered a reward, because we are likely to choose something that has a more serious effect on our health and well-being than we are able to anticipate.

(Perfecting Today: Jupiter semi-sq Pallas, Mars still effectively conjoined and parallel Venus, though perfection of the meeting is past, with both of them qnx Chiron and contra-parallel Black Moon Lilith, and Mars sq Ceres and semi-sq Zeus, while Venus in loose square to Hygeia forms a Fist of God with apex Pluto, and the Sun is contra-parallel the Black Moon Lilith point–and that puts the Sun, Venus, and Mars all together at the same declination opposite BML)

Good day to . . . trust the Universe. It’s one of those times when trying to control, dissect, or even understand everything going on around you isn’t possible–so relax, and let life arrange itself before you. What you need to deal with will be very clear, and you’ll have the energy and intelligence to address if effectively.

For those born with the Sun at 02 Virgo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). What is it about needing to be practical at this time, dear Virgo, that has you all ate up? You have the chance to rid yourself of some nagging demons, some negatives that you’ve been wishing away, but you can’t do it unless you are willing to deal with things as they are, and to do the mature, the wise, the immensely smart thing. So what if it’s not glamorous? It’s the thing that will allow you to take your life to some version of ‘the next level’. You’ve been wondering when you were going to be able to make real progress–the time now to your next birthday is your window to make it all bigger, better, more true to You. Good luck!

24 August 2019 Getting It Together

23 Friday Aug 2019

astrology, Born Today, For those born today, Good Day To . . ., My Daily Astrology Diary, My Weekend Astro Diary, The Astro Essence

‘Dance on the Beach’ By Edvard Munch c1900 {{PD}}

We get ‘it’ together today, bringing ostensible opposites into harmony, uniting the yin and yang, binding ourselves in partnership, or acting out of values or Love, or to make money, particularly in a principled way. It’s about following the rules or seeing to details, and yet we’re concerned with, or fighting against, the authority that currently exists, or with those who are trying to exert their authority over us. ‘Don’t tell me what to do!’ may be the cry that rings across the land, and this can bring to the fore discrepancies among values, relationships, and ambitions/ goals. Just be prepared to get a clear glimpse of the reality picture, especially as it applies to empowerment, and don’t allow obstacles to affect thinking to the point that it deteriorates into destructive channels. If we don’t allow ourselves to be distracted, and manage to attend to the material world according to our highest values, we can make some genius advances and exercise personal power to the fullest.

(Perfecting Today: Venus conj Mars, both sq Ceres, Venus parallel Vesta and semi-sq Zeus, Sun parallel Mars and sesq SN, Saturn nov Ceres, Mercury qnx Pluto)

Good day to . . . take advantage of the places where your energy is clearly in harmony with particular subjects, venues of expression, or courses of action. It’s a day where you can cooperate successfully with your opposite number, just as long as you don’t allow preconceptions or negative thinking to persuade you that the way to win is to undermine or grab for power–it’s all about doing it together, today.

For those born with the Sun at 01 Virgo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). The magic formula for you this year, dear Virgo, from now through to your next birthday, is found by appreciating the power structure as it is now, and then working to either cooperate with it or become a part of it. Resistance to this idea is probably seated in the feeling that you know how to do ‘it’ better than ‘they’ do, but the reality is that the only successful way forward for you is to admit that if you make those in power adversaries, you’ll never get the chance to wield power of your own. It’s a way to feel superior and remain unchallenged, but it’s no way to live your life. Recognizing this and other realities is key to having a super-productive year. On your side: your mate or partner, certain emotional realities, and some well-learned lessons from the past. Good luck!

It’s a kind of formula: whatever it is, today, apply Love. Even, and most especially, when it doesn’t seem to fit, when that wouldn’t be your typical answer.

(Venus nov NN)

Good day to . . . invest in the future, in whatever form that personally takes for you.

For those born with the Sun at 25 Leo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). It may feel to you, dear Leo, that Love, assets, status, and/ or empowerment are moving away from you at this time, but that’s a kind of psychic illusion. You had such a hearty influx of these things lately that as things normalize it feels like a loss, rather than circumstances losing their sheen and having an everyday luster, once again. So, note that you’re not losing anything, and then turn your attention toward the fact that during this solar year, through to your next birthday, you’ll be embracing a ‘new’, closer-to-ideal identity as you find balance through the emotional perceptions as they work through and shape the career, status, or public image. Good luck!

By The Library of Congress – https://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/6629867411/, No restrictions, https://commons.wikimedia.org

We’re empowered in ways that allow us to make downright brilliant moves and choices that are designed to construct the future we want, and spontaneity shows its own kind of genius. There are a few things to watch out for, though: actions that don’t acknowledge current realities, especially rules and boundaries, may make for rough going and could attract criticism; brace for shocks or surprises–they’re inevitable; and take care not to do things that will wear on, even destroy, health.

(Juno nov NN, Pluto sesq Hygeia, Mars sesq Saturn then enters Virgo, Sun parallel Uranus)

Good day to . . . innovate, invent, and brainstorm! However, implement with care.

For those born with the Sun at 24 Leo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). You’re heading toward some serious profit or reward, dear Leo, one that’s arisen directly from your own personal actions. This could bring you love, too, but no matter what the results, you can be sure that 1) you’ve earned them, and 2) that you might be so satisfied (or in some way sated) that your propensity to dream and work to make that dream a reality could lose significant steam. It will be awhile before you formulate another guiding vision, and that’s okay. The thing you need to watch out for during this solar year, through to your next birthday, is the call of your own ego. It may push you into seeing something that is actually a natural transition as crisis, one where you must act. Don’t fall for it,and don’t allow yourself to be bullied, even by yourself. Good luck!

11 August 2019 The Big Reversal

astrology, Born Today, For those born today, Good Day To . . ., My Daily Astrology Diary, My Weekend Astro Diary, The Astro Essence

‘Landscape between Storms’ By Pierre-Auguste Renoir c1874 {{PD}}

In the matters of the House Uranus is currently transiting and/ or the one it rules, expect a pull back, a withdrawal of energy, talents, electricity, understanding, in the days around this point. Disappointment may spring up, or something unanticipated that requires a re-think and perhaps spur-of-the-moment improvisation. This turnaround can attract a lightning bolt or remove all the excitement from the air–and there’s no way to tell which will occur. Happening in Earth, the event could have a cloddish feel, removing any sense of charge or lightness from proceedings, and could be difficult to recognize as Uranus related. Uranus, though, is naturally an instrument of Higher Knowledge, of wide and deep understanding, of discovery, so examining the handful of days both before and after it turns should offer enlightenment (even if that only comes later, upon reflection), in this case possibly through material circumstances or a physical experience.

With Jupiter’s direction we see not an opposite tide, but a completely separate one. Occurring in Fire, we see release in matters of the House Jupiter is transiting or in matters of the House it rules in the natal chart, a flare sent up that signals the time for action. Suddenly, we ‘know’ or learn something vital that fills in missing pieces, or see opportunity, or have the necessary freedom, or are ready to ‘reach out’–and we do. Direction is at 14 Sagittarius, so if you happen to have anything this hits by major hard aspect (such as a placement at 14, 15, or 16 Gemini or those same degrees of Virgo or Pisces) then look to both the natal body’s character and the House it rules, if any, for clues as to the place where that flare may go up.

We’re still under the influence of yesterday’s Finger–see that post for details. And one more thing: we are likely to be thinking about our place in the social order, or within a religious structure, or within some sort of hierarchy, especially noting the ways this isn’t working for us–and then we’re likely to conclude that we’d better modify our interaction to suit ourselves and our needs–and that’s a good choice.

(Uranus retrogrades, Jupiter goes direct, Venus perfects her quincunx to Neptune, Mercury sesquiquadrates Jupiter, then enters Leo)

Good day to . . . leap for those opportunities that you’ve been seeing but have, for one reason or another, held back on pursuing. At the same time, go the ‘tried and true’ route with your own options and choices, as the unexpected can take a toll at this time, and ‘luck’ is something you don’t want to test, unless you’re looking to incite chaos.

For those born with the Sun at 19 Leo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). Dear Leo, you may be feeling very beautiful, or very prosperous, this year, and that’s a really good thing, as that kind of confidence only attracts more to you–but you need to be ready to deal with the inevitable objections that will surface from others who either dislike your poise and positivity and want to change you, or those who are envious and want to destroy you. It’s a shame, really, that this is the reaction of so many, but it’s your job this solar year, through to your next birthday, to recognize those who don’t support your health and happiness, and gently let them go. Know that their attitude has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with their own unhappiness. Your other mission this year, should you choose to accept it, is to take those assets you find yourself with, no matter what form they take, and find a practical, smart way to present them to the world. You’re ‘on point’ for Self-realization and actualization–use that energy to its fullest, and good luck!

‘Italy and Germany’ By Friedrich Overbeck 1828 {{PD}}

The Finger of God (with base of South Node in Capricorn-Neptune in Pisces) that formed on the 8th is modified as Venus joins the apex point of the Sun. This is a day to use structures and reliable realities from the past as a foundation for inspired creative or spiritual action, and this should bring Love, Money, or at the very least, a great deal of personal satisfaction (Sun and Venus in Leo). Some will process (and in the course of things, dissipate) this via a prominent sense of whimsy-on-display, while others may come across as a bit touched! The result is all dependent on what inspiration or ideals are at work.

Good day to . . . sort fact from fancy in relationships and finances. Telling yourself a fairy tale in any shape or form will cost, so make an effort to be as reality-oriented as possible in these areas, and don’t don’t don’t dwell in the past, but do remember it.

By Kevin Walter – Turkey and gravy auf flickr, CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=59642951

For those born with the Sun at 18 Leo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). Will you be your most creative Self this coming solar year, through to your next birthday, dear Leo, or will your imagination run away with you, sabotaging what you’ve built and all that you plan? It’s the crux of things, and may be a recurring question for you, as you will likely find yourself in a long-term crisis state surrounding communications and your own mental workings. Center yourself by asking yourself what you truly care about, and perhaps by defining who and what you would like to interact with, exchange energies with, or might otherwise seek cooperation with. It may feel like an arduous task, this sorting, but it’s meant to smooth your way by getting you to recognize and modify what you value and want to dedicate your life energies to. After that, everything is gravy. Good luck!

1-3 August 2019 + A Mini-What You’re Asking: Ascendants, Cusps, & Quincunxes

≈ Comments Off on 1-3 August 2019 + A Mini-What You’re Asking: Ascendants, Cusps, & Quincunxes

Tags

astrology, Born Today, For those born today, My Daily Astrology Diary, My Weekend Astro Diary, The Astro Essence, What You're Asking

‘The Flageolet Player on the Cliff’ By Paul Gauguin 1889 {{PD}}

‘What You’re Asking’ comes from search terms I find in my site stats that could use some explanation, answer, or remark.

Ascendant on 2nd House cusp Whole Sign

Let’s get something straight: in the Whole Sign Universe, the Ascendant sign dictates the 1st House; that means we can’t have the Ascendant in the 2nd House! Because, if the Ascendant is there, that makes it the 1st House! Even very close to the ending of a sign, even in the last degree and minute and second, the Ascendant is still in the 1st. That means the Ascendant can be found anywhere within the 1st House.

In Placidus and many other House systems, the Ascendant delineates the beginning of the 1st House, but with Whole Sign, the sign of the Ascendant makes that sign the entire House, both ahead of and behind the Ascendant itself. This also lays out the rest of the chart, with one sign per House and the Midheaven true to its position; that is, unlike in other systems, the MC doesn’t mark the beginning of the 10th, but instead can fall anywhere the Sun could reach its zenith in a 24 hour period in that part of the world at that time of year.

It’s true that people talk about ‘being on the cusp’ of something: another sign, another House, but the term cusp only means ‘edge’. If you’re on the edge of a cliff, you’re not also below, tumbled into the valley, are you? So let’s stop talking about astrology as if a body or point is being influenced by something it’s not in, or a condition it doesn’t have–that not only makes for inaccurate, even sloppy, interpretation, it encourages those who don’t know better to think they may opt for the natal placement or for the other sign or House it’s near. As they say in that commercial where the woman takes a picture off her living room wall and declares, ‘I unfriend you!’, that’s not how any of this works.

quincunx relationship Scorpio/ Gemini

This made me think someone was looking for the relationship potentials between two individuals, each with the Sun in one of these signs, so I’ll approach this that way. First, an actual quincunx between Suns would require no more than a two degree differential; in that case we might expect that each would perpetually feel they must adjust their identity, their purpose, the nature of their true essence, just to get along with the other. That makes for an uncomfortable, not to say stressful, relationship.

If we’re talking about Suns that are in signs that are quincunx, but that are not in direct dialogue with each other, we might see a similar dynamic, but more diffuse. These two people might not ‘get’ each other, and are most likely to feel mild indifference, and maybe a lack of empathy, barring any other dynamic contacts between charts. Scorpio is Fixed Water: tending to perceive and process emotionally, first and foremost, with those perceptions intensely and deeply felt, and relatively difficult to change. Gemini is Mutable Air: perceiving and processing through the mind, perpetually re-considering and assessing, always searching for new information, and so changeable in their thinking.

In either case, not an easy interaction, no matter their roles or relationship.

Forecast 1-3 August 2019

The 1st sees us in harmony with ourselves, essentially agreeing with what we think! It’s a day that reinforces our mentality and the way we see things, but this offers one bonus: the ability, probably due to the consistency and harmony of our presentation at this time, to heal relationships or asset sources that have been damaged. And that’s a worthy goal, right?

The 2nd is almost the opposite to the 1st, with erraticism and unusual behavior in relationships, financial anomalies, surprises in Love, shocks over worth, and we find the reward from original thinking and innovation. And, we are either going after our own empowerment aggressively, or receiving aggression from others over what is or isn’t our domain. We may feel as if we are victims of the random, but there are two things we can do that should be highly beneficial to us: go over the discrepancies between our highest values and our ambitions; somewhere they’re not meeting up, and that’s causing ‘fulfillment drag’–and willingly excavate those personal matters we’ve ignored or denied, the ones that cause a shadow on the identity or expression of purpose. Hauling this material into the light will be nothing but good, in the end, and we’ll likely find that most of this shadow was generated by our own judgments of ourselves, and can be forgiven at any time.

By the 3rd we’re looking at personal empowerment issues, struggling, even, to make them ‘stick’. The feeling may be that we have to justify, one way or another, the territory we claim. We need to realize we’ve suffered a recent aggressive injury, where someone attacked, maybe very subtly, our right to be–and that has left this scab and we’re picking at it! Here’s your therapy: Stop it! Remind yourself you have the right to claim space to be, to do, to dream, as your own–no need to justify your existence, ever, to anyone, and that includes yourself. Nobody puts Baby in the corner!

For those born with the Sun at 09 Leo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). What is this ‘New World’ you’re waking up to this solar year, and will experience through to your next birthday, dear Leo? Or is it, rather than a new world, a ‘Fresh Hell’? That all depends on the fate you’ve been preparing for yourself over the years. That sounds obvious, but the reality is that this is the year when all those choices, those roads taken and those avoided, coalesce into a meaningful picture. You’ll see, benefit from, and pay for those choices. Noe, if that makes you uneasy, you still have this year during which to clean up your act, to change your fate. If you anticipate the results of your choices with something akin to pleasure, then you’ll know you’ve chosen well, and can spend the year building on the foundation you’ve put in place. In either case, this year you have the ability to shine, especially when showing yourself and what you can do to the world, and you have the energy and focus to use every bit of your muscle to fulfill ambitions and desires–just stay aware of what this pursuit might create, for best results. Good luck!

For those born with the Sun at 10 Leo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). Could you be more ready to critically assess yourself, your life, and where you’re going? No, you’re ready right now, dear Leo, and may spend this coming solar year, through to your next birthday, taking an intuitive but critical measure of your power, your position, your obligations, and your relationship to Nature. This is all in preparation for the smart, creative action you’ll be taking in future. So, don’t worry if you’re more attuned to pondering and trimming, this year, than you are to doing or making a big splash–you’re on your way, and as long as you’re clear on your highest values, you’ll see clearly what to do. Good luck!

For those born with the Sun at 11 Leo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). What is it, dear Leo, that you crave more than anything? Could it be a way to fulfill ambitions that rests on your values and what you honor, and that uses to the fullest your creativity? Because if it is, you’re in luck. This solar year, through to your next birthday, affords you the opportunity to fashion or find the absolute perfect outlet–and that means you could spend the year focused on your needs, and inadvertently neglecting those of loved ones. That’s okay–you’ll have to explain to them that right now, you’ve got to take center stage for yourself. Once you give shape and life to your desire, then you can go back to the caretaking of others that you do so well. Good luck!
