I didn't say it was "inimicable" to you. You must have me confused with someone else.

You said your mother died in Hawaii. I have no idea which is the "big island" or that that isn't Kauai, or where your mother died. It sounded like you have sad memories of Hawaii. If you don't, good, but why ...

Beautiful, Danica. That you for that insightful share. I feel that, for sure. Even when I was growing up dirt poor, I lived in lush locations, had ample access to food, and always felt wealthy, even with technically "nothing."

Jupiter, I'm not clear on your response. Can you clarify?

Yes, as I ...

Thanks Jupiter. I think Jim was thorough in answering my previous questions.

What I AM curious about, is what you two--Jupiter and Jim--think of Kauai as a potential relocation for my family. I grew up in the islands, and have been feeling very strongly pulled home again.

When I run the ...

Thoughts on Chiron? I live near a Jupiter line here, but am directly underneath a Chiron line. Overall, I do attract blessings... but most of the time, I feel like my wound is front-and-center.

Haven't heard much about Chiron here.

But in reality, things are more complex, because there are charts (personalities) whose core-themes and primary needs for experience are along the lines of Mars, Saturn, Neptune symbolism. Put those people in conditions of ease, ongoing pleasure and no much opportunity for struggle, and the result ...

Here are maps showing your planet lines for the U.S. (they're large enough that I want to come back and delete them later, so please feel free to save off the images for your reference.)

The first shows where planets are mundanely on the horizon and meridian. The second shows the ecliptical ...

This isn't at the top of my list at the moment, but I was taught through traditional astrology to look at aspects to the angles from the planets to determine ideal spots to live.

I've learned to avoid Saturn aspects (even positive ones), and squares (although now I know better).

In the sidereal ...

I didn't particularly pay attention to what you were saying about him. He's only 8, so has a lot of life-forming to go. You may have spent time in a monastery, but his chart looks like it's naturally made for that.

Haha, yes. 8 year olds are still forming personalities. And yes, he and I are ...

Also, after FAgan and Bradley's deaths, the next generation of Siderealists - including myself and my late friend Matthew Quellas - got deeply into the whole range of Cosmobiology. The Ebertin school is highly compatible with Sidereal astrology in many respects already - concentration on pure ...

It's a wave, a general "region," although Michel Gauquelin did tell me that the strongest sectors were always those immediately adjacent to the angles. You can dig into the larger, more complex world of his work overall. As a rule, from other studies, angularity is usually within about 10° of the ...

I have to say...

After all those years in Jyotisha, hearing how my Rahu (Dragon's Head) was destabilizing my moon in the 10th house (despite their wide separation within that house)... and also making me obsessed with career (which I believe is just due to all the angularity and position of my ...

A lot to catch up in this thread, agreed!
Blossom, welcome (I have been feeling this but not saying since your first post, due to not time to write here much)!
Just want to say re Houses : I haven't been taking them into consideration at all, since transitioning to Sidereal (about 10 years now ...

Since I see you looking to get a handle on how Sidereal astrology approaches natal interpretation, I have a few threads to recommend. Some of them are pretty dense, some are more straightforward.

OK, his details are:

Birth Date: December 17, 2011
Birth Time: 10:14 PM
Birth Place: Santa Cruz, CA

I think the angles do have their own distinctions. Perhaps the best objective measurement of this is the Gauquelin research in planetary angularity for eminent professionals, where very large, well-conducted statistical studies of birth charts for successful professionals showed key planets on the ...

You can start a thread for him. "Blossom's son"

I may do that. Thanks.
I guess it's hard to divide myself from him, so that's normal at some level. You know that's going to drive him to get further from you at least at some point. Nothing to do with astrology. Just normal parent-child ...

Just ordered COSI myself now. I notice he places some prominence on planetary midpoint in this book. Is that a general practice in this group too?

Thank you, Jupiter. I began reading it yesterday. I'll continue, and ask questions as I go.

I realize I diverted focus by introducing my son in this post, which I'd originally created to explore how I can best understand my own chart and its potentials.

I guess it's hard to divide myself from him ...

House rulerships originated as a form of divination, as in casting lots, and are used in horary(spit). (I personally don't believe in nor do I approve of horary. Other people may feel differently.)


Agree with you on horary.


Astrology was originally brought to India by the Persians when ...

Libra Saturn Square Capricorn Venus (0°)
Aries Jupiter Semi-sextile Pisces Uranus (0°)
Sagittarius Sun Sextile Libra Saturn (1°)
Libra Saturn Trine Aquarius Neptune (1°)
Sagittarius Sun Semi-Sextile Capricorn Venus (1°)


Expanding on this...

I see a love of restriction and an intense elevation ...

I'm interested in how the determination was made that houses and house rules have no value; and, I'm interested in taking a look at how and whether I have mistaken ideas on the topic based on my background and experience with it.


Reading through these house interpretations in the forum ...

I also wanted to get more serious about studying Western sidereal and developing software that would do my bidding...

Could there maybe be some to do MY bidding??

Spoken like a true Leo.

As a next layer in your understanding Sidereal astrology, you might note that we pay little or no attention to houses. I can't dogmatically say houses don't exist or have no meaning (though it is frequently tempting to say so), but I can say that, of all of the primary features written about in ...

Thank you, Jim. I've been reading through some of your posts in the forum and I already feel my knowledge of sidereal astrology expanding. I may even purchase Solar Fire at some point. In the meantime, I'm noticing that I have a lot of mistaken ideas about planets and aspects that will require some ...

August 31 @ 6:18 AM, but 1950 and upstate NY. If you look at my user name and my avatar, both describe elements of my chart. Your Sun is closer to the angles than mine, as is your Jupiter.


How amazing! So your Jupiter is on the Descendant, but you're Leo through and through. And we have the ...

YAK!!
Squares are not "bad" nor "malefic." There's no "mixed bag." Aspects are not good or bad, benefic or malefic. An aspect between Saturn and your Sun might be benefic, but that would be any aspect, including a trine. A Sun-Jupiter square is benefic.
It's the planets that are benefic or ...

My birthday is the same as yours, also at sunrise, but I have always had fine thin hair.

You have the same birth date and time that I do???

Leo's are indeed known for their "fabulous mane." :)

This came up in conversation yesterday. My Leo Moon wife Marion grew up in Staten Island, hitting adulthood as the '80s emerged, and we often observe and remark about the '80s Staten Island hair in movies, etc. But yesterday she had a meeting ...

Thank you, Jim, for the depth of that interpretation.

Yeah, Mars seems to be the figurative "thorn" in my astrological side. And, perhaps, a mighty thorn... because without Mars, I seem to struggle to put an engine behind the Starship that is the rest of my chart.

On Astro.com, Mars seems to ...

Interesting discussion. I have Venus loosely conjunct my Ascendant, and in the 12th house if you do a typical chart (which may not count to this discussion); and in the first house (angular) if you do it Vedic-style.

Throughout my life, I've gotten a lot of attention for my looks. But more than ...

Hi!

I'm new here, and have studied astrology for about 15 years, on and off. It feels like one of those tools that I'm still internalizing and learning about, and would love to trade opinions on it with you all here.

I can feel that I'm in a phase of coming in for a landing lately, God willing ...
