All I’m gonna say is that everything fits if he is ahead on Election night and declares victory early.

Lance

Thank you for that very full analysis.

I already see so much of what you mention.

Lance

Thank you both.

Yes, she is constantly in motion. Even if she watches TV all day in bed, she gets a workout. Lol

[The Time Matters software is invaluable. Thank you, everyone involved.]

I noticed that my daughter’s Sun is perfectly backgrounded, and I don’t know what to make of it. How may it affect her self-expression? How may it affect her knowing and doing what it ...

I can tell you that in my own life, I was extremely gentle natured until I really began to have to fight for myself, my independence and autonomy. And that wasn’t until my early thirties. It felt like I was up against the wall, and it came out really angry and vicious.

It makes me think of Jung’s ...

Lance

I was also just listening to something that said his mother nicknamed him “Puffy” for two reasons:

1. He always puffed out his chest to look bigger

2. He always huffed and puffed when he didn’t get his way.

Idk. I thought it fit some of the discussed themes.

I also note his Venus-Jupiter ...

Lance

Damn! I just wanted to come read about the Diddler. Ouch!

It confuses and disgusts me that this man is a Libra. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it - to have justice in your soul and abuse others like that! Don’t ever let him out again.

Check this out, though: I have heard more than once that he ...

Lance

Just FYI, I did a reading for how each city would affect the year too. Austin gave The High Priestess, which I read as “alternation, cyclicity” and associated with bipolar. New Orleans gave Temperance, which is on the nose.

Since everything agrees, I’ll be going to New Orleans as long as I can get ...

I’m wondering about my girls going back to live with their mother after she stabilizes. I can’t remember what I’ve told you, but she is doing much better.

But that would be both depression and freedom, when I give them back.

I’m also worried about mom’s health, but she’s actually doing better ...

Lance

Plan now for where you will have your next birthday. Your next SSR has a nearly partile Moon-Saturn square. I advice picking strong benefics as precisely angular as possible.

The longitude shared by New Orleans and Memphis has transiting Venus on MC. They both have all the Moon aspects - Moon to ...

Lance

Oh, she’s a fellow Oct 20th?

Look at that Libra-Aries, Sun-Moon opposition in her natal.

She’s gonna fight for justice. Hire her. Lol.

Lance

Jim,

Thank you.

No, I went to Houston for the previous SLR.

My next one looks crappy too.

Why does it have to hit me all delayed like that? I figure I’m on schedule with some denial at the moment. The lack of his presence will be felt before too long, I guess.

Lance

Well, for posterity’s sake..

My father passed away last night.

I see Saturn partile his MC. I see tUranus partile his rJupiter and rSaturn.

Sweet release. Blessed boon.

His funeral is two days before tSaturn precisely opposes my rVenus.

He was a good man and an ...

Lance

I’ve had it once before. It was the other side of my head/face that time. That was years ago. It was worse last time, but neither time was as bad as I have heard that it can get. I had headaches and had to wear sunglasses all the time last time.

This time I caught it faster. It tried to give me ...

Lance

Getting the Venus in my SLR was a good call. It’s helped my response to very stressful situations be more amiable.

Dad went into the hospital, then the nursing home for rehab. Then we tried to bring him home, but that was impossible. So he’s back in the nursing home.

I have packed up dressers ...

Lance

Thank you for posting that.

Dad is in a nursing home trying to rehabilitate to the point where he can walk again with a walker, but he’s making so little progress.

I have taken temporary custody of the girls while their mother works on some personal issues. It’s going well for them. They are ...

Could someone help me with my SLR in mundo? I don't have access to my laptop right now.

Most likely Houston.
Beaumont looks worse.
But I can't currently check the angles in mundo.

Thank you,

Lance

Thank you for your thoughts, everyone. Sincerely.

Lance

Starting with the longest-term factors, let's check his Solar Arc directions. His primary aspect was directed Moon square his Mars. (It hadn't yet reached conjunction with his Pluto.) This isn't suicidal per se (and solar arcs aren't usually "trigger" aspects - they're more setting things up.) In ...

Lance

His brother and I thought he was improving. I do notice his most recent lunar return had Saturn on the Dsc, and that started Feb 21st. I think he must have just immediately gone down hill and stayed silent about it.

Lance

Oh, please don’t worry about that. I have an extensive theological and psychological education. I spoke to him in depth about it, but it was truly a case of him tightly holding onto beliefs that caused him despair. He gave me no indication that he was worsening in recent days.

Lance

J.R. took his own life yesterday, Monday, February 26th, in Mission, Texas, after losing a fierce battle with his mental health.

He had been a very serious convert to Catholicism, and he was crippled by guilt and a sense of distance from God because of a previous attempt at taking his own life ...

Lance

Thank you both for commenting.

Mom, Dad, and I all have Covid, which is good news because it means it’s now a known contributing factor instead of something terrifying about to happen.

But I’m pessimistic about Dad. He has these two transiting Saturn conjunct natal midheaven that lineup right ...

Lance

I had t.Mars square r.Sun yesterday. It entered partile yesterday, and, man! i had the worst, most hectic, and bad news day.

Today it is more precise, but today already doesn’t seem as bad. Maybe because I know I don’t have to go to work today.

I’m not used to thinking of tMars square rSun as ...

Lance

Thank you.

BTW, I don't know if you saw an earlier thread today. I'd never thought to say it this way before but, based on experience, I interpreted (one way to say) Saturn to Neptune as "emotionally, things seem worse than the reality," whereas Jupiter to Neptune is "things seem better than ...

Lance

So, if Dad’s current status is any indication, his dementia may have taken a turn for the worse. This Saturn-Venus may be about having to care for him - or losing him.

I’ll probably stick with the Freemasonry. Just kind of need to shake off other people’s doubts.

Lance

Two issues seem two be developing that seem related to my coming stars:

1. My father‘s health in his old age is failing quickly. It has been problem after problem lately. I’m not sure how much longer he has.

2. I’m probably going to cease progress with Freemasonry. I’m not trying to be anyone’s ...

Lance

Thank you very much for the insights and recommendations.

Lance

I have a couple of long transits coming up that concern me. I'm hoping for advice on how to approach them.

I have long t.Neptune conj r.Moon coming, and layered within that is a double pass t.Saturn square r.Venus.

So, I'm going to be over-sensitive and feel like no one likes me for several ...

Lance

It’s more complicated than I imagined. This will take time for him to overcome. Profound sense of failure and guilt. I need more details about when all this started, but I didn’t want to dig too aggressively at that time.

Topic: J.R.’s t.Saturn-r.Neptune transit

Current residence: Mission, TX
SSR Location: Garland, TX (Dallas County)

He’s had a three-pass Saturn transit to natal Neptune going on this year, first partile starting the beginning of April, then doing it’s passes, leaving final partile a few days ago ...

Lance

You know, I mentioned that he was a sci-fi writer, but I failed to include that this is an incredibly spiritual and religious person, currently quite Roman Catholic. Even his science fiction is in the vein of C.S. Lewis, with Christian themes.

I was telling him about his Sun-Mercury conjunction on ...

Lance

His Demi-SLR for Concord, NH for January 22, the day of the primary is quite the opposite, though: t Saturn at 10°17' Aqu is on IC 12°23' Aqu. The only other foreground planets are transiting Uranus (moderate) and natal Mars (barely).

While the non-astrological odds are still that he wins, this ...

Lance

Yes, the opportunity has opened up to take a little trip tomorrow about that time, without consequence, and I am of the persuasion to do it!

Thank you for taking a look. I’d like to try to keep my Yule merry!

Lance

See, I think if I scoot eastward to Sulphur, LA, then I still get the good stuff with none of the bad stuff. And it's only an hour away.

The SLR is precise at 3:42pm my time (CST).

Is there a rule of thumb on how long I need to be there before and after the precise moment?

For tomorrow's SLR, I have Saturn 2°25' from my Zenith. It makes me nervous. Do I need to run east for a few hours to make that gap bigger, or do you think I'll be okay?

It’s like occasionally the universe raises up and supports an archetype. Good ones, bad ones, but always exceptionally powerful in the public psyche. And they test us and profoundly affect us.

This is one of my friends. I don’t have my laptop at the moment (hence the lack of precision), but I know he has Sun and
Mercury strongly angular on his IC.

It should be no surprise that he identifies as a writer, and he has written several science ...

Lance

Awesome. Thank you very much.

Lance

So, here's my main question. What about these *aspects* being either angular or backgrounded?

For instance, I have a Venus-Saturn aspect. It's not my favorite. I can certainly tell that love requires struggle/sacrifice and doesn't come easily. But *this* kid has that aspect, and both of the ...

I was hoping for some comments on his background planets.

He's got a background Mars-Pluto trine (2°25'). I still have a hard time ignoring trines. I don't like what I think this means, and I'd appreciate being told not to worry about it.

He also has a ...

Lance

Amazing. It’s all amazing. Every new insight is impossible and amazing. Smh

Thank you for the time you’ve put into this. I’m just never really sure how to interpret charts with mixed messages, so to speak.

Lance

So… the karma he left in Atlanta has a chart?

That’s an interesting possibility there.

Lance

Nah, he wouldn’t listen to an astrologer any more than he does his lawyers. He would try to negotiate.

So he went to Bedminster and talked about how he had the right to take all “his” documents on national television.

I didn’t want to say anything beforehand to jinx it.

He’s not playing for ...

Lance

Very interesting.

It’s amazing what you can learn when you’re not trying to make every word of the text historical fact.

Lance

Man.. Yeah, I’m not envious of that at all.

Aggression, weakness, cloudy thinking, anxiety, temptation to do stupid things..

Those are stars for trying something stupid.

Lance

Thank you both for your comments.

Maybe if I can swing angular t. Uranus more to the forefront, or at least de-emphasize that angular t. Saturn, maybe I’ll be more on the new side than the old ways. I’m easily next in line for Asst. Dir., and for a while, I’ll be working directly under the Exec ...
