Partile transits in Lunar Returns

[Jim Eshelman]

I'll add some examples, as I come across them, of charts that are examples of issue of partile transits in SLRs, as discussed in other threads today and recently.

The first chart that popped up, going through my life, is my SLR for my wedding, which occurred March 17, 1974, in Greencastle, IN. The SLR was February 23. One transit is pretty obvious and right on the angles, making this a classic wedding chart:

1°53' Sco - r Venus
2°06' Leo - r Pluto
2°36' Aqu - t Jupiter
2°47' SLR MC
3°35' Tau - t Mars

But there are other key transits that aren't at all foreground but are symbolically perfect. From the deep background:

3°10' Lib - t Uranus
3°20 Can - r Uranus
3°28' Lib - t Venus
3°37' Can - r Jupiter

Notice that 3°28' is the exact midpoint of Jupiter-Uranus.

On November 18, 1975 I was surprised at a regular meeting of the Sidereal School of Astrology in Hollywood by Gene Lockhart organizing nearly a lynch party to try to drag me down. I responded to his accusations, sent him away in shame, and came out triumphant. Then Anna-Kria King took me home with her and we started our decades-long relationship that night, with West Hollywood being the correct location.

The November 13 SLR is fascinating in many ways, including my Venus-Pluto near the angles, the strong rising Sun. etc. However, all the exact transits are away from the angles (some of them far away), and all are appropriate.

16°15' Vir - t Pluto
1°53' Sco - r Venus
2°06' Leo - r Pluto

16°20' Sco - t Neptune
1°20' Lib - r Neptune

21°34' Pis - t Jupiter
22°28' Vir - r Sun

17°16' Lib - t Merury
17°20' Lib - r Mercury

On June 5, 1975 I boarded a plane for the first time, left my wife and all of my life to that point in Indianapolis, and moved permanently to California. The June 2 SLR is quite appropriate with Uranus rising square natal Jupiter-Uranus, plus natal Mercury-Saturn on EP. There were, however, some interesting partile transits away from the angles that I leave it to you to decide how accurate you think they are. Besides the angular partile Uranus square my Jupiter, we find:

15°59' Sco - t Neptune
1°20' Lib - r Neptune
17°19' Tau - t Sun
1°54' Can - t Venus

22°28' Vir - r Sun
22°42' Pis - t Jupiter
22°47' Gem - t Saturn

I had several more, but I'm not including them because they either (1) had no partile transits, (2) had no partile transits other than foreground, or (3) involved other people's secrets that aren't mine to disclose.

I thought these were pretty decent off-the-cuff examples.

Good examples Jim.

Good examples Jim.
To add a recent one for myself. The SLR when my grandmother died (end of Nov) has SLR Saturn partile my n. DSC and Pluto partile n. MC which is also a partile trine to the Moon. SLR ASC for Edinburgh falls just over 3° from that SLR Saturn ecliptic, I am not sure if it is partile in mundo.
