Solunars

Huh. Thanks for the responses, guys. I don't have Interpreting Solar Returns, but it's on my to-buy list.

I'll have to keep watch for these from now on.

I have a question for the group that has been bugging me for a few years now, and I keep forgetting to ask it. Do you ascribe any meaning to outer planets' conjunctions with their SSR positions? e.g. Pluto going retrograde, then direct, and forming a Pluto transit to solar Pluto. I haven't paid much...

There are no transits to Cansolar angles or Capsolar Moon, but a very strange thing that I can't interpret right now: Transiting Neptune begins to square Cansolar Moon on January 20, exactly as the new administration begins. Idealism, perhaps? Or if we're feeling pessimistic about the results of th...

Mike, you have a pile of planets concentrated near your 5th cusp. Uranus and Neptune are closest, Saturn and Sun a little wider. What are your thoughts on this theory? Hmm... Do I trust myself more/most when acting from a Uranian frame of mind - future-thinking, discarding existing structure and re...

Hi Zig, I have a Macbook and use a virtual machine to run Solar Fire in a virtual Windows 10 instance. I wrote a step-by-step guide on that exact topic if you're interested: https://solunars.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3355 Please note that if you're running Catalina, you will probably have to take a fe...

I have 2 questions about the relationship of body names to their observed astrological effects. They probably don't have clear answers, but I'm very curious to know what everyone's thoughts are. 1. For minor planets/asteroids/etc that are discovered or named as time goes on - what does the name chos...

Mike wrote: I don't really understand s.p. Saturn here. Mike, I am curious. Do you think this s.p. Saturn could have caused some inhibited feelings not knowing how the reconnection with your friend would turn out, since there was an existing "strained" relationship? I don’t think so. I was experien...

I'm adding a quick retrospective/summary to this. The Pluto foreground was at least reflected clearly in reaching an important spiritual goal that I've aimed at for many years, and the corresponding changes in my psyche. That one was an easy enough hit by itself. The Venus was quite noticeable as we...

Those transits are wild. Also: NEPTUNE conj. DESCENDANT or WESTPOINT Quest for something meaningful, probably involving close relationships. Either dissolving rigid views that separate you from others, thus new intimacy; or your prejudices are dramatized and trigger struggles and distress. Sensitive...

My Demi-SLR begins tomorrow night, and is dominated by a transit by Jupiter to natal Jupiter-Uranus, all on angles, with natal Moon/Saturn/Neptune more widely foreground - very similar to the KLR. I expect to not be able to discern between them after today. For the past 2 weeks, the SLR has easily d...

I've always wondered how strongly to weigh the SLR and KLR against each other. The next 2 weeks or so will provide an unusually good opportunity to test this. (I say 2 weeks, because the demi-SLR coming up has much in common with the KLR and it'll be harder to distinguish them.) Dec 20th SLR: t. Plu...

I'm intending to try "programming the year" this year for my SSR. I'll let you guys know how it plays out.

Are they normalized to the same framework? That is, suppose you were comparing my chart to your chart as a mundoscope (putting my planets in an outer ring so we could see mundane contacts within the universe of Mike's chart and then flip to get the same in the universe of my chart) - is the outer r...

Don't do the mundoscope as a "zodiac analog." I agree completely - I have that as a future feature. 2. The second is simple in concept, but harder to explain if you don't have a picture in your head.... I think I can picture this, and had some ideas like that as well. I do want to mention, though, ...

Thanks for the encouragement, all. Jim, while you’re right that this is still in a very feature-sparse state, I’m curious what you’re thinking. I have to refactor the overall data structure and flow inside the app, and if I can do that refactor with requested features already in mind, they’ll be eas...

Hey y'all, I've been working feverishly on this and have made a ton of progress much faster than I was expecting. There's a long way to go before it's "done," but we're approaching a stage where a public beta is realistic in the near future. In that spirit, and because I'm excited, I wanted to share...

I agree that Jim's summary is spot on, particularly these two: Sharp humor. Willing to be outlandish. Loves to party. Most prefer a bit of "bad boy/girl" in their character, feel it their moral duty to misbehave on schedule, and stay "a little rough around the edges." I feel a compulsion to misbehav...

I should also mention, now that I think about it, that I've gotten mid-grade nightmares for the last 2 nights (so, beginning the night before the QSLR). In the last one, an ex-girlfriend (who I loved deeply) died - pretty fitting for Saturn-Neptune. Maybe relevant. Given that I've also been watching...

I don't know why it feels like this, but I've been watching my quarti-lunars lately, and it feels like they've all been absolute dead ringers every time, even more obviously than the main SLR or demi. My theory is that they're just narrower and more focused, almost like quick-but-punchy transits (co...

First of all - Jim, I think I responded to this when I saw you, but I'm not positive, so... thank you for the offer! That may just be what I end up needing. I'm not solid on the deployment details yet; I feel like I don't completely know what I don't know yet (especially about domains and network I/...

Your post is very moving, Veronica. I'm sorry you're hurting so much. But you sound like you're a very good parent. I've seen parents throw up their hands and never look back in frustration at a child's addiction. I can only imagine how hard of a situation to be in that is. Now though, I also have i...

I'm about a week past the final peak of the Saturn Return now. I had a burst of energy on the day that it was exact, like I had been wearing heavy weights and they were suddenly lifted. I'm in a very different SLR now than the previous set, focused on r. Mercury (exact on Asc) and t. Pluto, flanked ...

Now mostly out from under the main SLR and into the demi for this period, which is a welcome change. I instantly felt different this morning – higher energy levels, for one, though perhaps the Jupiter and Uranus transits to my Venus are just heartening me enough to give me a second wind. We'll see w...

Thanks, JSAD. These are helping somewhat

I don’t think so. I was experiencing that for like 2 weeks leading up to it, and that’s also just a normal part of my psyche (moon-saturn-Neptune). If you removed that hit from the list of quotidians, I would never have missed it. I wonder if there’s some other thematic thing I’m missing that’s Satu...
