The year beginning Dec 18, 2021.

I had the most successful first date in my date. Friendly and engaging conversation from when we first met. Even made out with her in the restaurant. I was clearly having a very hard time.

By Jove

I'm surprised you didn't bring up Sierra Kay. She's only 1 hour 32 minutes older than I am. And she fits my alternative preferences better.

A parody of Christina Agulera, who has Mercury in Scorpio. Can't tell if this is praise or mockery.

Thank you. Is there a link for downloading the software? All google results go back to here.

I jotted down all the most important days of my calendar and their significance. Thank you for your input so far.

By Jove

You have a particularly harsh Solar Return this year with transiting AND natal Mars the two most angular planets, and transiting Saturn and Uranus next strongest, plus a little natal Pluto. I suggest you go to the Solar Return interpretation section and read especially about both natal and ...

They tend to be triggered by stress or "reminders" of intrusive thoughts. Depends if the sudden changes are good or bad. In close relationships, I either I get stressed out about whether a relationship is working out or how the other person feels about me. Or I get intrusive thoughts demeaning the ...

2021 is ending. I want to know what dates and transits should I look for in the future so I can predict when my OCD could become severe. I don't want my OCD to threaten another relationship again.

I would really like some guidance here, either on this forum or PMs. Had I been given what I asked ...

By Jove

Nothing huge. It maybe started around August 2003, when I was beginning a new school year in Metairie, LA. My OCD began around February 2007 (maybe February 17?) when I was visiting family in Des Moines, IA.

By Jove

Friendships have been a struggle since I was 12 and got depression. Relationships have been a struggle for me, a source of denial and anguish since I was teenager. There are four main reasons for this (similar to what SteveS said):
1. I lack social skills.
2. I lack self-confidence.
3. I am damaged ...

By Jove

So, try to work more directly with your therapist with your OCD pertaining to your close relationships in life, endeavoring not to repeat the same mistakes you experienced with Suzy. Learn from your mistakes in life and listen to your therapist, this is my best advice as far as my understanding of ...

Okay, but planetary transits are particularly problematic and worth noting? Mars-Moon transits? Mars-Saturn? Etc. I don't want to give into my mental health problems and make mistakes again.

By Jove

I do like the R&B vibe in her music. Definately leans on the rather soft and soulful category. Astrology-wise, she does have angular Sun and Mars (both aspeting the ascendant). More direct than my more roundabaout placements.

By Jove

I don't see all the odd ducks as you do. For example, Libra seems the real odd duck of the Egalitarian signs (Gemini and Aquarius being overtly scientific-intellectual); though, of course, Libra and Aquarius share social activism (though it looks very different in both locations).

But they can't ...

By Jove

Dry for "Earth," because dryness makes me think cerebrotonia (it might be a personal bias), characteristic of Virgo and Capricorn. Not Taurus, but Taurus has always felt to me like the oddest fit in any of the triplicities.
That's the challenge: To find the parts that do fit all of them. For ...

I thought cold fit "Air" so well, with their alienation and solitude. Two of them are anti-solar, as if away from warmth.

In response to Mike and Jupe's last posts - something I've been thinking about the last few weeks but not saying - might be a temporary point of view, but, in any case...

After coming up with these four words, I'm less bothered by the element names PROVIDED the elements names are understood to ...

By Jove

I still don't understand why we would need new names for the Triplicities. For the amount we use them, the names most people already know are fine. I think changing them is just an unnecessary complication. Sure it would be nice to have something like the wheel analogy, but we don't. Till we do ...

Too cumbersome. Not interested. Has to be brief, barely taking syllables, and capable of engaging pop culture imagination. The biggest purpose (if I wasn't clear) is to sell Sidereal astrology to the masses, so the least thinking required, the better.

By Jove

I'd love to do that. But in 40 years I haven't found anything usable.

I think the root of the problem is that - compared to other things like planetary dignities and quadruplicities - triplicities are relatively minor distinctions. But minor doesn't mean unimportant or non-existent. The ...

Also, with houses and signs. Perhaps the zodiac signs change houses with each astrological age. Like in ancient Egypt, Taurus ruled House 1. In ancient Rome, Aries ruled House 1. Today, Pisces rules House 1, etc.
Are you suggesting that the houses themselves change their meanings, or just that ...

How about charts on the East/West (MC/IC line) divide? It would seem people with more planets on the west half of the chart would be more introverted. Maybe?
I'd have to regenerate the sample set of bucket and bowl charts and check that separately, but I have a couple of thoughts.

If houses ...

It would seem some prominent Leos enjoy a darker, graver aesthetic. Tim Burton is my first thought. Chateaubriand and Goethe also come to mind (at least Goethe balances it out with the usual Leo "light").

As I said before, signs are closely linked to their opposites, like they're ends of the same ...

What makes a planet superior/inferior?

By Jove

I do notice a few trends with traditional exaltations.

All the Rim/Cardinal signs have exaltations.
Aries - Sun, Cancer - Jupiter, Libra - Saturn, Capricorn - Mars.

Almost all Hub/Fixed signs have no exaltations.
Only Taurus – Moon is the exception.

The Spoke/Mutable signs are a mixed bag.
Virgo ...

Maybe name the triplicities after their planetary rulers?

"fire" signs = Solar signs
"earth" signs = Venus signs
"air" signs = Saturn signs
"water" signs = Mars signs
I think it would be confusing, and upset fundamental principles, to call Virgo a "Venus sign," Cancer a "Mars sign," or even ...

Your transits on the day of this last attack may indeed give useful clues.

The one outstanding thing I see was that 12/25 was when transiting Mars squared your Saturn. This is more intense this year (and perhaps next, depending on Mars' timing) because it occurred with Mars square Pluto in space ...

By Jove

How do you account for relocation in a natal chart? Do you just put your usual date of birth but just change the location to where you are now?

Like if I moved to Los Angeles or whatever, do I make a relocation chart by just putting Dec 18, 1990, Los Angeles, 3:57 pm?

By Jove

Awesome post!

Found this nifty video on Ernest Hemmingway. It covers many of the archetypical traits of Cancer: the blur between fact and fiction, the bombastic egotism, the prolific overseas travel, the dynamic emotions.

I must confirm that my Pisces Moon dad is just as "hyper-realist". He has contempt for anything "too imaginative" from religion to superhero movies to even Shakespeare.

By Jove

This is so cool, Jim. I must try it out sometime. ^_^

By Jove

Does it make any difference how wide the two planets "sandwiching" the third planet are regarding midpoints?

For example, most friends I know whose charts have few aspects "compensate" for it by having partile midpoints between planets 30 degrees or less apart. (Which is more likely when all your ...

Eris is the feminine version of this chimera nature, she is Lilith the mother of hydra! She is the birth of a monster (Mars!) If Eris were to rule anything (as seen in my my mother and 2 I'f not all 3 of my of my female best friends (best friends of all time list only Includes maybe 2-3 men if ...

I commented a while ago on how all "Four Horseman" who spearheaded the New Atheist movement (Dawkins, Hitchins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett) were Pisces Suns. From my experiences associating with "new atheists" for a decade now, the movement started as a counter to the religious views of the Bush ...

By Jove

I had a conversation with Danica a while ago. Midpoints can explain how plants interact in "scrunched-up" natal charts that have few traditional aspects. They seem to compensate for the lack of aspects by having large stelliums, 3 planet conjunctions, and partile midpoints.

They have powerful ...

By Jove

Hi.

I haven't had time to wrap my brain around what you call the angles & how to decipher which of the luminaries are in the foreground or in the background of my chart.
Both luminaries (Moon & Sun) are in the background. So are Mercury, Neptune, Pluto and Eris.

Would Venus, Uranus, & Jupiter ...

By Jove

Jove, Dimitrios' remarks about the overall aspect pattern are interesting considerations. I don't know the exact technique of which he is speaking, but used to often draw an aspect map to help sort out the patterns of a chart. Since it came up in this thread, I ran one for your chart (I created a ...

I pay attention to Aspektfiguren (Ebertin concept, Huber and others), combining different aspects in structures and shapes and usually this approach helps me to feel and understand more for the persons essence. I believe that aspects and figure aspects are so important that in most cases can ...

Does the fact that a chart has few versus or aspects have anything to do with the personality? I've read that people with few aspects in their natal charts "do not fully integrate their psychological sides", are boring, or have uneventful lives.

I really don't have enough information to evaluate ...

By Jove

Wouldn't be surprised if Eris turned out to be the "true" ruler of Taurus, similar to how Pluto became the "true" ruler of Aries.

If any of this is relevant to you guys:
My Eris is 21'53 in Pisces.
Eris squares my Moon & Neptune in Sagittarius.
Eris trines my Jupiter in Cancer.
Eris is sextile my ...

I'd also say the signs are closely bound to their opposites, and share a lot of fundamental similarities with them despite all their differences. Like you cannot really understand a sign without its opposite.

Eros/Thanatos - Taurus/Scorpio
Individual/Society - Gemini/Sagittarius
Mirrors/Shadows ...

By Jove

Why would my Saturn manifest that much? It's my Sun and Pluto angular and Mars and Neptune aspects that are the biggest with me.
