Software & Chart Request

[CryptoVatic]

Does anyone have a recommendation for charting software that's Western Sidereal Fagan/Bradley specific? Thanks

Also if anyone is willing to give a chart reading, according to my birth certificate; I was born October 10, 1986, 5:18 PM, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA

Thanks

Many of us have and recommend Solar Fire. It's not "specific" if you mean "exclusive," but it has most (some might say all) of the main features. There's Solar Fire section of this forum, including several supplemental wheel designs and other add-ons, and a (partially written) SF starter instruction in a thread called "SF Instructions for SMA."

Also if anyone is willing to give a chart reading, according to my birth certificate; I was born October 10, 1986, 5:18 PM, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA

Well, with an October 10 birthday, you are one of the greatest people in the world! <inside joke>

Yes, I'll get back here and add some notes, and others may well jump in.

Hi Crypt, and welcome to the forum. Just to get you started with Sidereal Astrology

Cyril Fagan’s interpretation for your Moon Sign:

Another important hidden Sidereal Astrology factor for your Natal Crypt:
One of the first thing a Sidereal Astrologer analyzes, after noting the Sun & Moon Sign placements, is looking to the angles of the chart to note the angular (foreground) planets. With your ecliptic Natal Chart, we certainly do not get the accurate (true) astronomical distance for your angular planets. If you will click on your Mundo Natal Chart, you will note Jupiter is only 3,24 from your Natal Ascendant. Jupiter is the 'themed' planetary influence for your Natal Chart.

Here is a link to Jim’s deleinations about your Natal Jupiter placement, the most angular planet in your Natal Chart:

There are other aspected factors in your Natal Chart, but probably your Mundo Natal Chart is the most important.

Thanks for the reply Steve.

I am an aspiring investment advisor; so I believe the following 3 qualities work in my favor. With regards to speculation though; I’m curious what role Uranus plays in my chart along with Jupiter’s influence.

1. Sun sign in Virgo emphasize “strategy; and the frequency to be some type of counselor.”

2. Moon sign in Sagittarius emphasize “Masterful in business. Tireless drive, dogged perseverance, extremely practical and materialistic. Achievement is all.”

3. Jupiter foreground most angular planet “those who amass a fortune through their own efforts but more especially through speculation, have Jupiter configured with Uranus.”

Yes, and there is no better analyzer of the 12 Signs than a Virgo, natural born analyzers. Great for analyzing financial things.

Yes again, no better achiever with drive in the zodiac.

Yes, but I think the square aspect of your Jupiter to Uranus is to wide for major impact. You will have to guard against the negative effects of your Natal Jupiter & Neptune foreground.

You can make easy money with Jupiter Neptune, but it is extremely difficult to bank. With Jupiter-Neptune with speculation, you have to have solid disciplinary measures with stop loss protection to bank easy gains; otherwise, Neptune will make those gains disappear in a blink of an eye.

Thanks again for your reply Steve.

Personally for cryptos I don’t use stop losses; but I do at least daily technical analysis and have a solid set of rules I follow.

IMO there’s a definite “slosh” or “diffusion” where capital flight is currently taking place. Fiat dollars travel into and out of crypto currencies and tokens (but mostly dollars into cryptos as an aggregate). I wonder how this relates to what I’ve read in Jim’s SMA research about Neptune being the leading planetary influence for financial panics. Neptune seems to influence things like mass hysterics; thus sharp market movements like the financial panic of 2008. Panics in traditional markets though can greatly benefit the cryptospace.

[Jim Eshelman]

Neptune in Aquarius is interesting symbolism for the arising of cryptocurrencies.

Cryp, I've been busy all weekend (and through tomorrow) working on a project to generate a trial automatic chart report. It's far from finished, but I thought you might be interested in being a guinea pig for the part that's finished. Remember, this is not a full chart analysis at all (and excludes some useful things), but rather a report on the individual components (the most salient), concisely stated (trying to pack as much possible into a few words).

MOON IN SAGITTARIUS
Higher & higher (ambition, spiritual aspiration, flight). Optimism (adapting with positivism). Courteous, gracious, natural hosts. Seeks to impress (needs validation, approval). Devoted to ideals & values (political; nationalistic, tribal; loves history). Dramatic (actors). Mercenary. Strong family ties.

SUN IN VIRGO
Strategic, tactical, analytical, logical, scrutinizing. Encyclopedic knowledge. Favors trees over forest. Innocent air, modest. Tolerant, tactful, congenial, serious. Courageous in word & deed. Service-minded, conscientious, efficient. Principle over convenience. Active toward social progress (rarely radical).


ASPECTS
MOON SEMISQUARE SATURN Orb 0°20' Separating
Proud, self-made. Dynamic, hardworking, persistent, self-driving. Encourages growth in others (expects them to do something wor-thy of their abilities). Usually emotionally reserved, private. Definite tendency (often unconscious) to seek total control of situations & relationships. Parent-themed issues (nourishment-deprivation, etc.) to work through. Judgmental (intolerant). Can be pessimistic, distrustful, little self-confidence, passive-aggressive, feeling inferior, anxious, depressed. Many enter religious or social work for mixed motives of service, self-immolation, and seeking control.

MOON SEXTILE VENUS Orb 1°36' Separating
Attractive, charming; much sexual charisma. Gracious (ingratiating), affectionate, sensual. Fond of social niceties. High frustration tolerance. (Passive-dependent, moody, can be blindsided by strong feelings, often preoccupied with whether they are liked.)

SUN SEXTILE URANUS Orb 1°54' Applying
Go their own way, unapologetically following their own paths & persuaded that they’re a “special case.” Resourceful, stimulating, but easily bored (in need of frequent stimulation). Love of freedom: bow to no authority but themselves. Progressive, future-oriented, uninhibited by convention. Adept at creative problem solving. Self-perspective usually founded in objectivity.

MERCURY CONJUNCTION PLUTO Orb 3°01' Separating
Thinking is individual, unusual, outlier, perhaps branching to bizarre, little-explored topics. Investigative, seeks primal (seed) causes, thinks deeply about things. Mind may skirt the cliff-edge of normalcy (may slip off): acute enthusiasm, possible burnout. Extremely excitable, especially about inquiries and discoveries. Impatient (irritable in the face of obstacles; tolerates frustration poorly). Instinct for abstract mathematics (manifests in composers, chess players, physicists).

[SteveS]

Excellent Jim, much needed if Sidereal Astrology is ever going to reach a wider audience.

[CryptoVatic]

A couple quick questions; thanks again for your time Steve and Jim.

Does the Mundo chart take precedence? I ask because Jupiter is in Pisces in the Mundo, but Jupiter Aquarius in the other chart.

2. Steve you mentioned a Neptunian influence on my Jupiter. Neptune is close to Midheaven, but not directly on it. How much influence does it have in my chart?

3. Jim I’ve read your statement that “what distinguishes you from others born the same day - starts to filter your distinction.” Is there any unique aspects that stand out to you in my chart?

[Jim Eshelman]

Does the Mundo chart take precedence? I ask because Jupiter is in Pisces in the Mundo, but Jupiter Aquarius in the other chart.

Signs don't exist in the mundoscope - it's just a way of using existing code to display it. Ignore them.

Your Jupiter is at 19°46' Aquarius. In the mundoscope, Solar Fire shows it as "26°34' Pisces" just as a way to show it 26°34' through the 30°-wide 12th house, i.e., 3°26' above Ascendant. Mundoscopes should be displayed in a way that hides all sign references, and I've provided some Solar Fire templates for this for people to download.

2. Steve you mentioned a Neptunian influence on my Jupiter. Neptune is close to Midheaven, but not directly on it. How much influence does it have in my chart?

Transiting Neptune is currently conjunct your Jupiter. (Today it is 18°41' Aquarius, just a hair short of partile conjunction. Yes, your natal chart shows Neptune near your MC, but it has kept moving since then.

Neptune isn't all that strong in your natal chart. Notice that in the mundoscope it is 12°16' from MC. This is the value of the mundoscope: It makes it easier to accurately see just how angular something is. You can estimate this from your horoscope, where Neptune looks like it's about 5° from MC, but the 10th house is only 13° wide along the ecliptic. If nothing else complicates it further, we would expect a planet to be a third of the way through your 10th house (equal to 10° along the prime vertical) when it is 13/3 or about 4° of longitude from MC.

3. Jim I’ve read your statement that “what distinguishes you from others born the same day - starts to filter your distinction.” Is there any unique aspects that stand out to you in my chart?

That's could warrant a long answer... I've done exercises of starting with a blank wheel and adding Pluto, then moving inward through the planets to narrow on the day, as a meditation in how the universe, through the medium of time, brought about "exuding" us into the world at a particular moment in time and space.

But the short answer is that, sure, we can focus on things that are only true for a few days or few weeks (and, of course, particularly things less tha a day). Something strong on the day of your birth is Sun sextile Uranus, with Mercury conjunct Pluto almost as "narrowing." Then there is Moon in Sagittarius. Narrowing to a few hours, we have a close Moon-Saturn semisquare and Moon-Venus sextile. Narrowing time to within a few minutes, we have Jupiter rising and, a little less strong, Sun setting.

Crypt asked:

Your natal Neptune is classified in Sidereal Astrology as mundo wide foreground. The order of angular planetary influences in your Natal is:
1: Jupiter (very strong)
2: Sun (moderately strong)
3: Neptune (somewhat strong)
Jim could probably word this better than I.
But, from a market speculation standpoint, t. Neptune is close to entering a partile conjunction to your Natal Jupiter which is in the immediate foreground (potent) of your n. Asc. Ebertin from his great book ‘Combination of Stellar Influences’ says about Jupiter-Neptune combo’s pertaining to a market speculation environment:

Principle: Apparent happiness, speculation, (-) an inclination to speculation and wastefulness, speculators, the tendency to speculate, gain without effort, a poor speculation.

Let me give you an example how a strong Jupiter-Neptune aspect once manifested with me. Back in the great Midwest flood of 1993, I was closely following the soybean market and took 1,200 $ and purchased 3 contracts of soybeans on a technical breakout to the long side. The market took off with the fundamental news of the great Midwest flood—flooding farmland, preventing the farmers from getting their seeds in the ground. In 3 short days I had a 16,000 $ paper profit, a super easy gain without much effort, just as Ebertin describes in his book for Jupiter-Neptune combos. Before I could pat myself on the back for a super speculative trade, the market lost all of it gains in 2 short days of trading and I had a paper loss. My Jup-Nep cycle completely humbled me to a pulp. I could have easily put in a stop-loss order protecting profits and easily made 5-8 K, but no, Neptune blinded me with ‘apparent happiness.’ So, it is very tricky to speculate with Neptune cycles, and always protect any quick easy gains with stop-loss orders. I don’t like to speculate with strong Neptune on my charts, only if I am very close to the market in contact with a very reliable floor broker in the trading pit of the commodity I am trading, and always with stop-loss, stop gain orders on my trade at all times.

That's a great exercise Jim. I'm definitely going to walk myself through it at some point.

That’s an interesting story Steve. My main interest in astrology is with regards to crypto currencies and tokens specifically.

So far it seems to me that Jupiter (wealth), Saturn (restriction), Neptune (diffusion), and Uranus (speculation) are the primary planets of market influence; along with Sidereal solar and lunar cardinal ingresses. With short term emphasis on the Capsolar Quotidian (CapQ) and Transits to Capsolar angles.

If I’m missing anything important in regards to financial aspects please let me know.
Thanks

[Danica]

Saturn can be attributed to wealth too, depending on how you define wealth. Saturn are the resources, Jupiter is amassing them.

[Jupiter Sets at Dawn]

I've always seen Neptune as speculation and Uranus as more risk taking as well as the search for something new or contrary.

OK. The only member I know on this forum who has peered into the crypto currencies with Sidereal Astrology is Sirius Lee. Go to below link, and read Sirius Lee posts, which I found very interesting but have not investigated with detailed Sidereal Astrology charts. The big problem is we do not have the angles for a reliable chart. A few weeks back Bitcoin futures began in Chicago, and we know when this market opened for trading. W.D. Gann said the moment any new market opened for trading on the major exchanges, it was critical to strike a birth chart for this moment and follow the astro cycles. When I first discovered Sidereal Astrology, I wanted to do a detailed historical study with markets using certain Sidereal Astrology techniques, but this was when my major activity with markets were waning.

I agree with JSAD and Ebertin, Neptune has much to do with speculation, and I agree with you, Neptune can certainly ‘diffuse’ things. Crypt, have you looked closely at NY’s 2008 Cansolar and what the DOW was doing when t. Neptune was partile cnj Cansolar’s Asc? IMO, with Jim’s great work with SMA and financial markets, the number one thing I want to always be aware of is when outer planets are partile transiting either a Capsolar or Cansolar angle in DC (major events/markets) or NY for just markets.

Exactly! IMO, major Saturn cycles particularly one’s Sun is without a doubt the best long-term investment combo that exists in astrology. There has only been one time in my entire life I made a modest long-term investment in anything, and that came with a major progressed Sun-Saturn cycle. If it was not for this investment, my modest retired financial situation would be much worse. I think Sun-Saturn combos are present in a-lot of wealthy individual’s natals. The reason for this is obvious: Saturn to its positive side symbolizes structure, stability, patience, long lasting---so we see here with our major Saturn cycles—when we are seriously considering a long-term investment for our futures (retirement), and are under a major Sun-Saturn cycle it has good % to adding to our future bank accounts relative to our economic stations in life.

Looking back on my days of speculation, using 20-20 hindsight and Sidereal Astrology, I would want to pay a-lot of attention to my prominent Mercury-Jupiter hits with short term speculative ventures. When you think you are seeing/receiving good information/communication for a speculative trade---check for possible Mercury-Jupiter cycles. Bradley, a great Siderealist said about Mercury-Jupiter:

Mercury-Jupiter: Keys to this planetary combination are “commerce” and “big ideals.” A very propitious aspect where business and one’s income is concerned, a native’s fame and fortune (taken relative to his usual status in life) is increased.

Astro Gold seems to be a good alternative for Mac users as it’s made by the same developers of Solar Fire.

I was looking through the demo and it has calculation settings for “Mean Quotidian” as well as “Fagan-Allen” and “Campanus.”

Is there anything important I’m missing for accurate calculations?

Thanks
