Angles in Progressed Chart

THE MIDHEAVEN IN PROGRESSIONS

In progressed astrology, the Midheaven indicates your life direction and the path you strive to follow, especially with career. When a progressed planet crosses your natal midheaven, or your progressed midheaven comes close to a natal planet you will have a year of redirecting your life and some confusion about what to do with your life insofar as your career and life goals. Things that were important to you last year may not be this year and visa versa. During this time you are likely to make abrupt and radical changes in your life direction. Look to the nature of the planets and/or the sign on the progressed midheaven to determine the nature of the changes and confusion.

THE ASCENDANT IN PROGRESSIONS

In progressed astrology, the ascendant shows the way you integrate your ego and your outer world. It is how you react to the world and its events.

Progressed Void of Course Planets

A void of course planet is the planet that is highest in degree in any sign. Therefore, any planet in 29° 59’ would naturally be void of course. If another planet is 29° 58’, the 29° 59’ would be the void of course planet. If two planets in the chart have the same highest degree status, the faster moving planet would take the prize of void of course. Direct or retrograde conditions are not taken into account.

Mundane astrology

Mundane astrology is the astrology of nations, groups, world events, geology and weather. This is the oldest form of astrology. Personal astrology wasn’t even thought of before the 4th century. Although astrology was used personally for the ruling class of people because their fates and the fate of their nations went hand in hand.

One of the earliest Roman writings on astrology comes from around 30 B.C. During the reign of Octavious. Babylonian tablets were translated into five long poems which explained a system of astrology and told what nations or geographical areas fell under what signs. It was believed that racial differences were due to zodiacal rulership of their homeland. Strife between nations was due to incompatible ruling zodiac signs.

Health astrology - medical astrology

Astrology can give us an insight into our health weaknesses and strengths and gives us warning about possible health problems. One of the things to look for in health astrology are eclipses. Note the house position and the sign the eclipse is in. Look at the aspects it triggers in the natal chart.

ECLIPSES:
• Effects last six months
• Strongest is an eclipse to the Sun
• Eclipse to the moon looks back to the past and brings things forward
• Emphasizes things of the house in which it falls. There will be a health crisis if the eclipse falls in the 6th or 12th house.
• The 6th house is acute illness; the 12th house is genetic or chronic
• The only aspects that relate to health are the conjunction and the opposition

Karmic astrology - Saturn aspects

Aspects to and from Saturn either ease or cause challenges and blocks to resolving karma.
Hard aspects such as semisquare, square, and opposition, conjunction and inconjunction
cause difficulty. Soft aspects such as semisextile, sextile, and trine ease karma resolution.

Saturn/Sun 
Hard aspects with Saturn/Sun show something in a past life having to do with misuse of authority with guilt. This can be brought forward in the present life as lack of self-worth and low self esteem. We look to others to applaud our accomplishments or look outward for recognition to help us feel better. The lesson is to take responsibility for our own feelings and our own worth.

Saturn/Moon 
With Saturn/Moon we were in a painful life involving children. We now bring forth guilt about this and become overly sensitive to the needs of children. We may feel we have a destiny to rescue children from mistreatment or pain.

What is Karmic Astrology? - Saturn

One way to determine past lives and karma in a chart is by looking at Saturn. Saturn is the taskmaster planet and brings us to face Karmic issues. Saturn’s placement shows the Karmic lessons to be learned. It is where we take on the most responsibility and where we are most likely to feel restrictions.

First House
In the 1st or ruling the 1st, the manifestation is not being wanted which results in guilt, insecurity, a feeling of having to be responsible for the lives of those around us. This can result in control issues where safety is felt only when we are controlling our environment. We may take on the responsibility of others and get dumped on and taken advantage of so we will be needed and wanted.

We have chosen restrictions in early life to teach us about responsibility. We came into the present incarnation reluctantly because we know this is a tough one to learn. But with 1st house Saturn influence there is a destiny or task to perform in later years (after 50 usually). We are old souls and choose the hard road to toughen us for the destiny or task ahead. If we pass the gauntlet of insecurity and develop a strong sense of self, we can do anything.

Second House 
Our karma is with finances and material security. Whether born rich or poor, we worry about money and security. We may deny the importance of money for happiness, but underneath it all, money and security are what we worry about. We may also have Karmic guilt about money and try to avoid it. We may come in with Karmic memories of deprivation and poverty. We may seek others to support us or seek total

Synastry astrology - Elements and qualities

ELEMENTS AND QUALITIES
Partners with too many of the same category or element can cause conflict. Ideally there will be a balance between the two charts.
Fire with Fire
Each will see themselves reflected in the other. There may be a clash of wills with little inclination to compromise. Each may either pull in the same direction or in opposite directions. They spark off of each other when working in harmony and the energy produced it considerable. There may be sudden temper flares.
Fire with Earth
Metal, or earth is made flexible by fire so that it can be shaped. Too much earth can suffocate fire. This combination is expressed as spirit working with matter. Fire may be impatient with the plodding earth. Earth can be an anchor and a point of stability for fire. Earth may be critical of fire for impulsivity and Fire feels Earth spends too much time thinking and planning. Here we have enthusiasm countered with common sense.
Fire with Air
Fire needs air to keep burning but too much air can extinguish fire. Too much fire can consume air and destroy itself in the process. Here is a combination of idealism and enthusiasm that can lose touch with

Synastry astrology - General indicators for attraction

ATTRACTION
Astrologically, attraction can be judged by comparing Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars with Ascendant and Descendant from one horoscope to another.
Unless these planets and the ascendant or descendant are combined in some way it is doubtful that attraction will last very long. A Venus/Mars combination can create attraction but it is very short lived without other factors to keep it going.
The closer the orb, the stronger the influence.

GENERAL INDICATORS FOR ATTRACTION
Sun conjunct, opposite, sextile, or trine Moon
The Sun represents our masculine energy, the Moon, our feminine. Attraction seeks expression of our hidden self (masculine in a woman and feminine in a man) through the other. The Sun is protective, the Moon is nurturing.

Aspects between Mars & Venus
Mars expresses as desire, wants, and assertion. Venus expresses as affection, reception, and beauty. Mars and Venus aspects show sexuality, stimulation, and desire. The conjunction, trine and sextile are congenial, and exciting. The opposition and square show strong attraction but often with jealousy, friction or intense

Retrograde planets in Solar Return chart - Pluto

On the day that Pluto returns to the position held in the return chart, an issue that one has put off or even dreaded may finally be confronted. The individual either realizes that time has run out and is forced to finally make a move, or becomes tired of avoiding the situation and now has the energy to deal with it.

Retrograde planets in Solar Return chart - Neptune

Neptune has two quite different sides. It often reflects deceptions or the surfacing of confusing issues. The individual may be fearful or unsure regarding a situation, and if decisions are made without having all the facts at hand, it can bring about setbacks for the individual.

Retrograde planets in Solar Return chart - Uranus

Uranus returning to its Solar Return degree brings about an eruption that may seem untimely or out of control. Sometimes the events associated with Uranus are out of the blue and unexpected.

Retrograde planets in Solar Return chart - Saturn

Saturn returning to the degree it held in the Solar Return generally brings up issues of responsibility and/or interaction with authorities. Saturn issues often deal with business situations, and long-term efforts toward achievement.

Retrograde planets in Solar Return chart - Jupiter

Jupiter's return to its Solar Return degree can usually be anticipated for the benefits it brings. Like Venus, it often coincides with social occasions. Favors or gifts may be received, and it usually brings money or some other form of good fortune.

Retrograde planets in Solar Return chart - Mars

Mars passage over its degree in the Solar Return brings a release of energy and usually calls for decisive action to be taken by the individual. Sometimes a needed confrontation brings a sense of relief.

Retrograde planets in Solar Return chart - Venus

Venus returning to its Solar Return position generally brings a pleasant social occasion. This might be fairly significant, and the individual could meet a romantic partner or form an important relationship. Frequently there are gifts, favors, or money received at this time.

Retrograde planets in Solar Return chart - Mercury

If Mercury is retrograde in the Solar Return or turns retrograde soon after the birthday, it will pass over the degree it held in the return one or two more times. Generally, there will be news or some communication that will alter original plans.

Mars in Cancer 2013

Fiery Mars moves into weepy Cancer on July 13 and Saint Thomas has me thinking about our stomachs and digestion.  In fact, old Thomas filled my head with digestion and stomach thoughts before I was fully awake, as he is known to do.  Since, I'm a Cancerian and I have dealt with digestion problems over the year and a sensitive stomach to boot, he thought I was the ideal candidate to write this post.  As if I don't have enough work on my plate already, hmmmm.

Saturn Turns Direct in Scorpio July 2013

Saturn is currently stationing in Scorpio and will go direct just after midnight on July 8. As it drags its heels to a stop in the zodiac, it permeates the overall astro scene with its themes - its dreaded, depressing, arduous, isn't-that-a-bummer themes.

Saturn is the planet that (eventually) leads us to position, advancement, success, prestige, and recognition in the public realm. It spurs us to reach our grandest potential in these human forms. But it rides our asses like a rented mule in the process.

Since entering Scorpio in October 2012, Saturn has been doing a slow dredge within the structural set-ups of our lives and of our societies, at large. It has drawn out into our concrete realities certain emotional and psychological truths that have up until now been submerged or semi-submerged. We are now aware of the deep, dark, disturbing subtext in ways we weren't before. Our awareness of underlying energy dynamics has increased. We've honed and utilized our X-Ray vision. Whip-smart, razor-sharp.

What Is a Cusp? - Astrological Cusps

A cusp is the point at which a new astrological sign begins.* Thus, the “cusp of Aries” means the point
at which Aries begins. (The word comes from the Latin word cusp is, meaning “point.”)

When someone speaks of being “born on the cusp,” he or she is referring to a birth time at or near the beginning or the end of an astrological sign. For example, if you were born on July 23, you were born on the cusp of Leo, the sign that begins on July 23. Indeed, depending on what year you were born, your birth time might even be in the last degree of Cancer. The Sun does not move into a new sign at exactly the same moment each year, and the dates for the different Sun signs may vary by a day or so. Even if the Sun were moving into Leo on that day, what time of day did this happen? Were you born while the Sun was still in Cancer or after the Sun entered into Leo? If your birthday is near the beginning or end of a sign, check the

Mercury retrograde Summer 2013 - and past lives

WHEN Mercury is retrograde, as it is now, it is an ideal time to explore your past lives. If you have a reading with a psychic during Mercury retrograde, past lives are an excellent subject, while, on the other hand, asking him about your future during Mercury retrograde is not likely to be as good.

Is this because Mercury rules time?
Well, no, it does not. Saturn rules time, as is shown by one of his alter-egos, Chronos, as in chronometer or time-keeper. Mercury, as it happens, are the hands on that watch. When Mercury is retrograde, those hands
move backwards. As I constantly admonish, astrology is literal. We just have to realize that and figure out ways to literally use it.

July and August 2013 horoscope

Aries (3/21-4/19)
 JULY opens with fiery displays of patriotism. This symbolizes the Aries-like need to express pride and loyalty to country. Things feel different
after the 12th. Actually, it’s “feelings” that are different.
You are suddenly drawn into the world of emotional floods. There
are tasks now, which require serious reflection. Inside, you find that
small spark at your core. The Rams have the right gear ratio to generate great energy from that small central spark. The 20th is the
best day to manifest your dreams. Respect your superiors to reach
goals this month.

Secondary Progressions: The Clock of Life Ticking Away

by Robert P. Blaschke

As the earth turns daily on its polar axis, our satellite, the Moon, is continually orbiting around us, while
simultaneously both are orbiting annually around the Sun. The contemplative individual may ask if this apparent
linkage between one day, one month and one year means anything. What do these three concurrent celestial
motions have to do with each other? Is there a metaphysical equivalency to them? Is time itself real, symbolic or a combination of the two?

Squares

Sun Squares

Sun r Moon
This brings the challenge to harmonize will and emotion. Learning that patience, discipline and hard work are the only ways to reach your goals is the challenge here. Also, this aspect brings the challenge of attitude. It is important to learn compromise and cooperation or you will never achieve your goals.

Sun r Mars
Careful planning and patience are lessons here. Learn to meet challenges positively rather than indignantly. Temper, argumentativeness, impatience and combativeness will only keep you from the things you desire. However, generally, you are good natured with people when not challenged, but watch that you don’t become to bossy.

Sextiles

Conjunctions

Planets are in conjunction when they are within orbs of being in the same degree. They are usually in the same sign, but a planet in the last degrees of one sign may be in applying aspect to a planet in the first degrees of the following sign and, in turn, a planet in the first degrees of one sign may be in separating aspect to a planet or point in the sign preceding it.

A conjunction is the most powerful aspect. It marries two planets, joining their forces into one. Conjunctions produce intense concentration of the planets involved and a condensation of individuality. We will assert the blended qualities of the two planets no matter what, almost as a compulsion. A conjunction indicates creativity in the expression of the dynamics of the planets involved and there is a reserve of energy to persist in spite of any obstacles.

Solar and Lunar ECLIPSES

Eclipses occur when the New or Full Moon takes place within close proximity to one of the lunar nodes (within 18.5 degrees for a New Moon and within 12 degrees for a Full Moon). The first type is a Solar Eclipse, occurring at the conjunction of the Sun and Moon. Here, the Moon comes between the earth and the Sun. Depending on one's location, the Moon may cut off the light of the Sun. The second type is a Lunar Eclipse, taking place at the opposition of the Sun and Moon. During a Lunar Eclipse, the earth comes between the Sun and Moon and cuts off the light of the Sun to the Moon.

The Pisces Personality

Evolved : Pisces is idealistic and has noble aspirations. She isn’t usually interested in amassing great wealth and honors, but prefers more philosophical and spiritual pursuits. She doesn’t mind being in a structured world as long as she is allowed to feel, dream and grow according to her own ideals. She feels best when around water and will often pursue a career at sea or around water. She has a yearning for unity of body, mind, and spirit. She is receptive, adaptable, intuitive. She is capable of great delight and achievement and of deep despair and depression.

Aquarius Personality

Evolved : Aquarian has an unbiased and open mind without prejudice or superstition. He is never bound by tradition or custom, but prefers to go his own way, in his own style. When he is bound by tradition or custom, he faces them with tranquility and serenity, but eventually will go on and “do his own thing.” He is a truthseeker and seeks truth in the most unconventional places. He is neither militant nor aggressive. He waits patiently for wisdom.

The Capricorn Personality

His curiosity is insatiable and his mental energy never seems to run down. He is a born teacher and takes a great interest in educating others with his wisdom. He is direct and straightforward, never mincing words or watering down facts. In teaching he likes to use the Socratic school, guiding his students to observe and reason for themselves.

The Scorpio Personality

Evolved: For Scorpio life is about power and self-mastery. The goal is the destruction of the lower ego, control over the desire nature, and the dissolution of everything that gets in the way of regeneration. She strives to master intellect, passion, will, emotions, physical body, and insight. Scorpio wants this and wants it now. Furthermore, she wants it for you too, whether you want it or not. Scorpio believes she knows what is best for you.

The Libra Personality

Evolved : Libra has great powers of concentration and focussed endurance, once he makes up his mind, that is. However, Libra doesn’t go constantly like Aries, he goes in spurts, followed by equally great relaxation and leisure. During rest periods, he is perfectly satisfied not to do anything at all. Then, something else will spark his interest and he will be an indomitable worker again. Libra tends to specialize in life. Not the Jack-of-all-trades like the Aquarius, Libra focuses on one thing and does it well. But Libra also has a great capacity to juggle detail.

The Virgo Personality

Evolved: Virgo is a master of discernment, testing through critical analysis. She separates, sifts, classifies and arranges things and people to recognize their practical use. Accuracy and method are important to her and she makes an excellent manager.

Sympathy and appreciation are always welcome, especially if it is about his mental abilities.

The Taurus Personality

Evolved: Taurus is noted for stability. She is steadfast even when faced with adversity. She is quietly persistent when dealing with problems and refuses to be hurried or pushed, or frightened into anything she knows is not right for her. Taurus knows the value of proportion, routine, and regularity. She understands method and order and feels best in a routine life with few surprises. Taurus is a builder, a producer, but not usually from her own original ideas. Instead, she takes innovative and pioneering ideas of others, perhaps an Aries, and makes them work.

The Aries Personality

Evolved: An Evolved Aries, is a leader and pioneer. He easily and quickly assimilates new ideas and progressive invention. Even though Aries is the sign of the warrior, he prefers to fight with his head (thought, ideas). He is a born leader and likes to be in charge. Anything less than number one position makes Aries uneasy. Challenge stimulates him. Don’t put Aries in a routine job, he’ll be miserable. However, even when miserable, Aries never loses optimism and innocence. Aries always thinks tomorrow will be better.
