And, we see with this inauguration chart the most angular planet as Mars, backed upped with a PVP Moon-Mars aspect.
Good catch! Time Matters didn't catch the PVP square because we have it set not to list PVP aspects if there is already a conventional aspect - and Moon squares Mars ecliptically 5 ...

Yesterday was transiting Pluto's exact square to my Novien Moon.

Effects: The few surrounding and centered on the transit ere marked by increasing existential dread as the new administration was sworn in, plus heightened concern for the health of our cat (who, though looking and acting much better ...

The inauguration chart is one of the most tragic in national history. The partile Venus-Saturn conjunction octilr the Sun-Pluto conjunction is, of course, the most of it, though there is that intriguing Moon-Mercury, square.

We have entered a time of extreme danger, grief, and dismantling.

We are making an offer on a house today. It's almost like a dream come true for what we've been looking for. Might be moving in a couple of months. Will probably know in the next couple of days if it will work or not. Crossing my fingers. :)

Your current lunar is such a mix! Though not the ...

Benefic = 0, Malefic = 0, Dignity = 0, Indignity = 0, Change = 0

Impressions: By angularity, this seems an utterly neutral chart, its main distinction being that while the full SLR is double-Sun, this demi is double-Moon. I wonder ...

So far the lunar has been quite positive, though against a backdrop of terrible circumstances that have had only small impact on me.

The return occurred in New Orleans - the original motivation for our going there - where we had a great time (the only negative being the deep drop in temperature ...

Jeez, so. I'm in the hospital. Not because of COVID but because I now have a definitive diagnosis of Guillen Barre syndrome. I've actually taken care of patients with the disease. For a few days I had difficulty urinating and thought it was just a UTI. Had the same symptoms the summer before last ...

Yes, let's try this again. Very different chart, of course, especially with the Moon-Saturn opposition you mentioned. That means we should try to land an exact benefic. Scanning close aspects in the chart overall, I notice Mars opposite his Uranus-Neptune, which we want to keep from the angle, and ...

The only clear wrong prediction was interpreting the Moon-Venus to mean the two raging wars would end.
In fact, the 2024 Capsolar appears to have been antithetical to peace - EXACTLY the opposite of what I expected.

It's obvious, though, why this is so for Israel vs. Hamas: The 2024 Capsolar ...

Today is an astrologically significant day for me because - for the first time in many years - I no longer have a partile progressed Venus-Saturn conjunction.

Progressed Venus and Saturn have been conjoined in Libra - the sign in which both are dignified - so I wondered in advance if I could expect ...

Steve, without knowing anything about who is and isn't having a good year - not sure if you saw this - in my Capsolar forecast for 2025, I wrote (see the last phrase):

Almost every word of this was correct and captured the right note. The only clear wrong prediction was interpreting the Moon-Venus to mean the two raging wars would end.

This Libsolar expires today. The forecast was pretty accurate, even though what my words actually meant were different from what I thought they meant at the time. By simply interpreting the chart as I saw it, the first two paragraphs especially are almost flawlessly descriptive of the outcome. The ...

Yikes! Gulf hurricanes for sure this year. - Notice Sa-Ne square Neptune lines skirt the east coast of Mexico, while Sa-Ne on MC hits Gulf Shores and near the Florida panhandle.

Nothing significant. I mean... we're spending a few extra days on the road before going back into town tonight, and that always costs a bit, but that's all. (Not bad for Mars crossing my Jupiter-Uranus yesterday.)

Probably nothing at all EXCEPT living with the smoke for a while. That is potentially health-damaging, but we've minimized it by being out of town for the worst. Since I'll spend most of each day in climate controlled buildings, that will reduce it. But the smoke is still a problem until the fires ...

Yes, the Capsolar Quotidian and Cansolar Quotidian were both remarkably precise and fitting for this. (See details above.)

I got a few minutes of signal and looked at this in TM. Starting from birthplace, one wonders if Uranus could be moved to EP-a and Jupiter moved to Ascendant. (I haven't reread your post, but this is probably what you saw.) Astromaps only work well on my home desktop (complicated technical reason ...

Hi, Flo. Thanks for checking: We were in New Orleans for the lead-in and start of thr fires, landed in LA just after midnight Wednesday night, and got up at dawn to load ourselves, Kali, and a few things into the minivan to head out of town. Spending four days in north Santa Barbara County and San ...

The streets and highways reminded us of Covid's start... emptier than I've usually seen them. A lot of people (not from the area) kept warning that we maybe couldn't get out of town, but the roads were all open and relatively empty.

Wanting to "get the hell out of here" is very natal Pluto. Maybe ...

Oh right, you said lunar and I somehow registered solar. (I'm back on the road and away from my main computer again for a few more days. We're getting out of the ash-air.)

I know you think those houses are important to you. I tend to agree. That wasn't my point.

I was asking something more fundamental: In terms of describing your character - who you are and how you live in the world - which set of planet-to-planet contacts is more descriptive?

With the Navamsa you ...

No need to wait. They're optional (and default to off), so go for it.

I think it's an error to include houses in any consideration of this - If you strip out all house consideration and only look at close hard aspects, how do the comparisons go?

I'll have to redo Biden's SLR when I get back. He won't be in DC for that happy SLR. Monday through Wednesday he's in LA, staying in Century City across the street from my office. I'm sure it will be a very different chart.

Novien table.png

Various methods exist for calculating the novien chart. Ultimately, the astrologer should not need to be too concerned with the technicalities: software should handle it for us.

The manual approach demonstrates what is required: Express a planet’s longitude as the number of degrees, minutes, and ...

[To be added later.]

Perhaps the most important questions about use of the novienic chart are: Do we need it? If so, when do we need it? How do we integrate it into our assessment of the ordinary natal horoscope?

I believe that the novien is not essential to the effective practice of astrology. I do not consult the ...

In the second chapter in Astrological Origins devoted to the novien, Cyril Fagan called the novienic equivalent a Sexascope. He outlined his primary recommended method of using it thus:

In the Sexascope, the Moon is the sole significator of the native’s sexual appetite, which is conditioned by its ...

With the specific goals of testing whether these sub-zodiac positions are objective points and, if so, whether the navamsa or novien performed better, years ago I began watching day-by-day transits to my navamsa and novien Moon. Eventually, I also added novien Sun.

The first clear conclusion was ...
