don't be afraid of Pluto. It's like a snake shedding a skin... natural growth that leaves the old shell of your life behind. Very natural as it happens.

I don't think Sun was foreground in DC. I'll look more later.

Oh wow that surprises me. I remember when we talked about Charlotte ...

I am so happy to hear from you and that you're doing well. It seems the kindness of the area (for you personally) has been very helpful. It also seems the solar return trip - locking in that angular Venus - has been quite good to you.

In moving to DC, you will have astrological conditions similar ...

Hi Jim. I'm moving to the metro D.C. area. My goal is to work in D.C. and live (preferably) in NOVA, but might also live in Maryland depending on housing prices. I don't regret coming to New Orleans because at the time I moved, I really did need a change in pace, like, to slow down, rest, heal ...

rcooke13

Yep, you were right! My grouchiness was gone by Sunday LOL. I feel way less grouchy now. It was def that transit you mentioned. I feel good (minus my annoying capricorn moon getting in the way sometimes), but in general I feel pretty dang good! And I love the mercury-mars. Just what I needed after ...

Thanks for sharing the story. It sounds like a lovely (albeit short) trip. I'm glad you went out to Venice.

When 2:45pm hit, it was a very special and spiritual moment for me, very touching. I'll have the memory of that forever. When I uber'd back to the airport after, there was beautiful ...

rcooke13

Fantastic. (And welcome back. Haven't seen you in a while.)

I'm super excited that you're so excited. Are you staying in town to do anything, or just landing for the Solar Return and leaving again?

I really enjoyed visiting Venice. I saw the canals and the pier, it was nice. When 2:45pm hit ...

rcooke13

Both of those are nice areas in different ways. Manhattan Beach is only a few blocks away. Venice is more spectacular, more of the classic "LA beach scene," and within a short walk of the Santa Monica pier. Google tells me the drive is 25-30 minutes from LAX to Venice Beach (so, with calling Uber ...

For the cities that you named for next year's solar return, which would you recommend if I want more popularity with people next year, like to be more seen and visible to people, but also good career direction and focus? And finding a romantic partner. Would that all be Jupiter MC or jupiter ...

I'm traveling for my birthday to Los Angeles to get a great solar return in January. I've been doing some reading online and some people have written how they believe traveling for your solar return is like cheating destiny, forcing life events, and that people who do it every year are like "over ...

Not sure if you saw my question above?

Does progressed Saturn conjunct mars also delay dating?

Also, does Saturn retrograde lessen the effects of progressed Saturn conjunct mars?

rcooke13

Which suns would be better for me in that case?
That's a hard call. First, what we really need is to do full comparisons of all the planets of the two charts (and their aspects to each other). Second, though, to the extent we can go by signs only, Sun signs that are conjunct, opposite, or ...

rcooke13

As for being wired to find permanent partnership later, does that mean someone will want to be with me permanently later? Like they'll see my saturn-venus and capricorn traits and want that forever (later)?
It can work in many ways, including what you describe. Or you may soften or shift your ...

rcooke13

Your chart does suggest some challenges in the area of romance. That means it's going to be mostly a matter of timing, though you can take an active hand in it. You have a couple of chart factors that routinely show as difficulty in love. This doesn't mean love problems are fated, though - it's a ...

Hi rcooke13, I don't know exactly what is getting ready to happen in your life within the next year, but you have what will probably manifest as a “once in a lifetime” most benefic event with your Solar Arc Natal Jupiter 11,20 Can coming to an exact conjunction to your Natal MC 12,20 Cancer and ...

I'm 33 and still cannot find love. I don't want kids but I want marriage. None of my past "relationships" ever worked out and they weren't healthy either. The past few years I feel like I've gotten close with the quality of men and still no cigar. The most recent one I was hoping to date was a man ...

hello dear rcooke13

we sometimes have trouble, but results come soon after having seen an advanced astrologist.

I'll try to help you, even if I don't know you. (for learning purposes)

It's not the same time of day, it's for when Sun returns to the exact place.

You only have to be there when it occurs - the minute. Certainly if you make a vacation to celebrate your birthday you'll be long enough. OTOH for a lunar return my wife has flown to a city, sat in the airport a few ...

rcooke13

Okay. How long should I stay there for the solar return chart to be effective? As far as hours.

I'm surprised the solar return time will be 2:45pm PST. I thought it would've been 10:28pm January 26 since my birthtime is 12:28am EST?

rcooke13

Lol that's funny, I got fired from a job last October!! Oh my gosh hahahaha. So accurate!

I did spend my birthday in New Orleans. This all definitely sounds like what is happening with me! Cause it's not like I've always felt this out of touch and uninspired while living here anyway. Seems to be ...

rcooke13

For the locations you recommended, what are the Mundoscope midpoints that you see for them that are influential?
Thanks for understanding that this is indeed a lot of work, but let me start the answer and then get back to it between other tasks.

I've been living on my Venus square AC line in ...

rcooke13

Also, if Miami or those surroundings is the answer, what midpoints are there for me?

rcooke13

Jim,

I've been living on my Venus square AC line in New Orleans for a year now. I don't think this is the place for me as far as the energy, but I wanted advice as to if I am on track or completely misunderstanding something, or maybe I'm confusing things with transits or something?

I do not feel ...

rcooke13

I wanted to ask if you have found if the Rahu positions in horoscopes are valid?

I ask because I have Rahu in Capricorn in the 4th house and Google says it makes the native constantly suffer in business, finances, and jobs, poverty stricken happens, unhappy always, unsatisfied, basically cursed ...

rcooke13

I’m very curious which of the following energies makes a person want to move really badly, giving an urgent feeling to move.

I had this urgent feeling this year and I moved. It was the first time I had such an urgency to move. I am in a Jupiter Mahadasha, a Saturn Antardasha. I was also living near ...

rcooke13

@Jim Eshelman Can you see anything as far as transits?

rcooke13

I moved to my Venus sq Asc line (New Orleans) last month. I am so happy to be out of New England and do not regret it one bit. I actually will be avoiding going back for holidays too, as much as I can. I love living here and love this place, and I was happy, way happier, for a month and then the ...

I was using an astrocartography map that was created for me, and I saw there's also an option on this map to see my "geodetic lines" too. I attached a pic below. Are these geodetic lines valid? Should I be taking these lines seriously like acg and parans? I see there's a saturn geodetic line for me ...

rcooke13

I just received a vedic astrology reading (Eastern world) and he looked at my astrocartography and said the venus square asc line is negative. But I read on this forum that the square is not negative, that it is just really strong, which would mean it's really good. But he insisted it's negative ...

rcooke13

Oh...

Well...off to google I go...lol

rcooke13

I believe in astrology and will either way, that's why I'm here. But I am curious anyway and it is very intriguing for me to think about and learn about. How do I know that my venus line for example, will definitely be a positive, venetian experience for me? Is it based on mythology or is it based ...

Jim Eshelman wrote: Wed Nov 17, 2021 10:28 pm Yes, I think the interpretation is completely strong. Yes, the square just makes Venus very strong.

At the bolded, did you mean completely wrong?

rcooke13

I read that venus square ascendant means you never feel worthy of love and that you are a people pleaser to your detriment, and that you attract superficial people. Do you believe this is accurate or an inaccurate definition of the aspect?

Does the square just means it's very strong, and not all ...

rcooke13

Your Venus is far stronger. There is some Saturn input, but the Venus is far, far stronger.

So, the simple answer is yes, it would be a fundamentally Venus place with mild Saturn overtones. ( Anybody who plans to work, even a little, in New Orleans needs a touch of Saturn <g>.)

That's a good ...

rcooke13

In your opinion, do you think the saturn sq asc and saturn ic line in Texas is far enough away from New Orleans to where I won't feel it enough for it to have any effect?

rcooke13

Would living under my venus ic (and venus square ascendant) lines amplify my venus conjunct saturn aspect in my chart?

rcooke13

Sidereal IS geocentric. - I think you meant to contrast it with Tropical.

No, using Tropical is not better.

Transits and progressions time out better in a precession-free framework like the Sidereal zodiac. In contrast, the Tropical zodiac retrogrades backward at the rate of 0°00'50" per year ...

rcooke13

Does living in a place where venus is close to the IC present potential issues of fatal attraction or crime of passions from men? Obsessiveness, etc? I'm guessing no but I just want to make sure I'm right. Because if I'm fully expressing my Sagittarius venus, then people would probably respond ...

I have Imum Coeli in Capricorn. Does this mean that if I live on a venus IC line, that my feeling of being responsible for others and needing a stable foundation will be exacerbated while living near this line?
Not from the angle. However, the whole quality of your Venus (which btw is in ...

Your first sentence said more than just "read sun angular". It said more, so don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about.

My first sentence said, and I quote: Just read Sun Angular. Four words.

I think you're objecting to my second sentence. I'm sorry you didn't understand what I ...

rcooke13

What? I have no idea what your first sentence means. But it is off-putting.
The first sentence says, and means, just read Sun Angular. There's a whole section delineating planets when they are angular. I don't understand how answering your question is "off-putting."

Your first sentence said ...

rcooke13

I'm sure what Jim is saying is that an angle is a angle. Whether angle is the Asc, Dsc I MC, IC, Zenith, Nadir, East Point, or West Point is 99% irrelevant. Sun on one angle means exactly the same as Sun on another. Advanced astrologers may find the precise angle very slightly shades the meaning ...

Yes, it's a solar location. Your Sun is 2°13' from IC, which is pretty close. No other planets are angular for you there.

Ok, thank you for your help

I'm about to read the link.
Just so I'm clear, when you say you discourage me from taking them seriously, are you talking about the Sun IC, DC, MC etc? And that the link you sent is the actual valid way of reading them? Or were you saying you don't take the link you sent me seriously? (this is a ...

What? I have no idea what your first sentence means. But it is off-putting. I did not ask for "a general astrology forum" nor did I ask for "everything anybody has come up with over the centuries".
