Solunars by Aldebaran Sidereal Academy

I planned to take this thread down as soon as I was done, but "done" is a relative term - and it might do to have a place to update you on what's going on for a couple of days.

The software update worked. We're now running on the newest version of phpBB (just released Wednesday).

I've added some ...

It worked! We're back. Now on version 3.3.14 instead of 3.2.0.

I have a lot of work to do before this is fully polished and all the old cool touches are back, but the big hurdle is over. We're back!

Starting the project again any minute now. Rather than retrace my steps, I'm using an alternate method.

Problems ... then problems solved for now.

We are not updated. The update failed for unknown reasons. But (with a bit of a struggle) I got the old one restored.

Next step is for me to troubleshoot this. I probably will start from scratch and see if it works the second try. I've been studying error ...

Marion went to San Antonio for her SLR this afternoon. What a contrast (and a fantastic test). Here's the SLR if she'd stayed home (excluding the pernicious Moon-Saturn-Neptune PVP squares!):

I've been thinking about fractals a lot this week, initially as a way of talking about Noviens (and, in principle, any harmonic charts). In the same way that the multidisciplinary topic of symmetry exactly explains midpoints, fractalization seems to portray the self-similarity at any scale topic of ...

Today I will begin prep for upgrade. This involves removing styles (things that give the forum its distinctive look), so you may notice things looking different. I will also disconnect some of the extra features such as the Moon phase marker, birthday list, collapsible forum categories, external ...

Benefic = 6 , Malefic = 0

Impressions: Fully benefic, no malefic involvement at all. While the Uranus to my Venus-Pluto replicates my SSR, I don't at the moment anticipate anything consistent with that ...

This hasn't been too bad. For example, I haven't been an aff :) Minor additional stresses from being at work alone (I urged my team to take vacation time this week and next) and surprise things coming up that turned out fine (easy to handle). Some vague anxieties about this weekend's upcoming forum ...

Slightly off topic perhaps. I have always wondered in what way does a Moon-Venus interchange differ from Venus on an angle in synastry?
I learned early - directly from Fagan's writings - that Sun-Venus = friends, Moon-Venus = lovers. the reality isn't quite that simplistic, but it give a starting ...

I don't think there is a need to think Venus-Angle overrated. I think he honestly adored her.

That doesn't stop one or both from also being asses :) - And the aspect doesn't necessarily mean peacefulness. I think in synastry it just mean that Venus unconditionally adores the angle. (At least, that ...

Natal Mars most angular. Transiting Sun square natal Mars as the closest foreground aspect.

She might be doing a lot of water skiing (or something similar) but, generally, relaxing in Hawaii by itself doesn't sound like much acting out of natal Mars unless she has some other expression of it.

I suspect a few seconds of difference will make no difference except precisely at the solstices (if there).

Sun's maximum declination is the obliquity of the ecliptic at birth. (Technically, at progressed date, but it doesn't move fast enough for that to be an issue.) Thus, for your birth, Alinda, it's 23°26'24".

Crossing maximum/minimum declination is the same as crossing Tropical 0°00' Cancer or ...

It's that simple. The original location persists and the new location layers in.

This is a fantastic example of an obviously important, life-changing (and even world-changing) relationship that was nonetheless a terrible relationship in most ways.

Look at it yourself ...

The weekend of Saturday-Sunday November 23-24 (possibly to include Friday night 11/22), the forum will be unavailable at different times.

We are planning a move to new servers November 30. I need to upgrade the software before we can do this. The upgrades will have the site down at times.

So now that I’m at the airport and this trip is nearly over, I can say the relocated Demi-SLR was an accurate chart, but the importance was much lower than I would’ve thought. It did NOT primarily describe the experience, which was celebratory and full of new and renewed friendships.

I think it ...

Though I'm basically saying as little as possible about this thread and related matters until after January 20, there is one hindsight item I want to mention: The one thing I probably didn't give enough weight to was that Harris' SSR - despite having transiting Uranus conjunct natal Jupiter on an ...

Yes, we seem to have no way to do this. I thought I'd figured out a way to fool Solar Fire into doing it, but I was wrong.

Unless things change in the next few hours, this return would occur, as originally suspected, in Florida, presumably at or near Mar-a-Lago. His Demi-SLR occurs today at 2:50 PM EST. --
It's a hard chart to read, seeming happy but a bit out of touch with reality. A "discovered" natal Mercury-Jupiter ...

Lol, thanks. I'll delete a post or two presenting the NYC lunar and replicate the Mar-a-Lago positions here at the bottom.

Reasonable people have begun making unreasonable statements in this thread (in the public portion of the forum) that, besides being off topic to the forum, are likely to start spinning out of control destructively. I'm locking the thread and deleting the last several posts.

"reinvents your understanding of yourself and your life in very significant ways" does seem to describe this :)

What a great use of the energies and of the time. Yes, next year's solar looks remarkable and positive. It also seems a really adventurous year - both Marses should not be taken lightly ...

Trump seems to have been staying at Mar-a-Lago. Here is his Sunday afternoon demi for that location. It's a hard chart to read, seeming happy but a bit out of touch with reality. the "discovered" natal Mercury-Jupiter mundane square is quite close but barely angle (and might well be dropped for a ...

I haven't carefully tracked Vice President Harris' location since the election, but I believe she has been staying around Washington. Her SLR for this last Wednesday is mostly dark with negative emotions: The transiting planets are fine, even uplifting and bringing some surprises, though the natal ...

I only watch transits to Novien Moon and Sun - since my goal was to see if these are valid at all (and those to luminaries are apt to be clearest). Pluto to Moon example is really interesting!

And thank you, as of this morning the infection seems all gone (mostly gone yesterday). Three to five days ...

If (as we're beginning to suspect) this matches the octilr and minor angle curve (which are the same) then Class 1cends at 1 14', Class 2 at 2 00', and Class 3 at 3 00'. In that case, these make a lot of sense.

she's getting the Jupiter-Neptune itself, which will be important when it's partile or when it comes to lunar return angles.
How does that work. I have

Would I look to my lunar return angles to see if they fall at the degrees above?
Transits work on their ...

This demi wasn't terrible on balance. It had aggravations, minor health concerns (seasonal allergies expanded into skin breakouts that needed attention). And, of course the most terrible thing (affecting me psychologically and nearly devastating nearly everyone around me) was the election.

FWIW Jim, I see this SLR as timing the main symbolism for t Neptune being on your r DSC for these many past months. Relative to your immediate environment you should have been able to establish some type of off/on nagging Neptune symbolism in your immediate environment, maybe the problems you had ...

Because of the anger forms, I'm inclined to take the Mars aspects more seriously, too. You seem to be describing the pattern of many people who have Mars-Saturn and spend much of the life reacting against abuse and discrimination of one kind or another. Mars-Saturn-Neptune is an ugly state.

OTOH ...

I'm so sorry to hear the effect this had on you, though I entirely understand it.

It’s not listed but t Jupiter is also opposite your Neptune. I’m not sure of your orb setting if That’s why it wasn’t included in the TM table. With the t Jupiter opposite your R Mars, it sounds like positive action to make your dreams reality.
It isn't foreground, though (and not partile ...

To give you the most leeway, I'll leave the thread if you remove the sections that argue for the specific importance of the Venus exaltation degree in the Tropical zodiac.

OK, Arena, now I need to make the executive decision to end this. The Tropical zodiac is a complete fiction. In any case, this forum isn't the place to try to make a case for it. In particular, I can't have anyone wandering onto this site thinking that our position is supportive of the Tropical ...

You're talking about August next year? (Not this year, right?)

Out of the blue, yesterday (and worse today) my eyelids became infected and swollen. (The eyes are fine, it's just the lids. This happens in a lesser way three or four times a year.)

Sure, I'm under marsy lunar and demi-lunars; but why exactly now?

Well, the one transit that speaks directly to it ...

Turns out voting by the people in a Democracy for a Prez Election can at times have profound landslide effects !

As you know, I almost never consult Moon's Node (so I hadn't had a chance to check this). I just noticed that TM current version doesn't display the node.

Donald Trump was born at a lunar eclipse. I wanted to see how close Node was, so I went into Temporary and added true node. On recalculating ...

Sharla wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 6:13 am Jim, would you include parallels and contra-parallels (within 1°orb) as hard aspects?

If so, do you think it would be best to just consider the parallels?

I've never been able to find any value at all in parallels or contras. I have no evidence at all that they are legitimate aspects at all.

I apologize if I'm missing this from elsewhere on the forum, but what kinds of aspects and orbs are preferred here? Are octiles admitted?
That takes a whole chapter to answer (it will take three chapters to answer in Vol II of the big book). I think I've never written it in full other than in the ...
