Oh i didn't. I had my dad duties, then took a nice relaxing bath and went to bed.

But you're right. Action is the solution.

Awww, that's sweet to say! I'm really appreciative of Jim and the other long-time astrologers here for trying to help us all understand ourselves better.

Sending you hugs and wishes for happiness and fulfillment.

It is really sweet to read how you are making astrology work for the best in your life, which ripples out into all the lives you touch. Thats the best use of it and gives me lots of hope and happiness.

Great news about your finances too!

When I read about my SSR with saturn/venus conjunct my natal venus I was like ....OMG...when you read all the negatives its alittle overbearing. But I think, like in statistics, astrology deals alot with patterns of averages...mean median and mode....and each one of those averages bears a different sort of interpretation, your not the average man in many ways so I think your results, while similiar to the whole are going to bring you to a very different end result.

Im still waiting for saturn/ venus to disfigure and disappoint but at this stage in my life those sort of dramatic are not part of my lifestyle so how they mainfest are psychological issues that I can, with maturity say to myself...." Whats really going on here?"

I hope you and your daughter take a cool daddy daughter vacation somewhere like DisneyWorld! Or to see the Big Trees!!

Nice
Nice
Nice

I know what you mean about nice.

I think and hope that you will be effective in moving past being nice, which is really not nice-its like a fake happiness.

You have to be nice to grumpy cystomers becayse you need thier business.
Heres to not having to be nice but being happy

Lol, the bottom line with Uranus-Neptune is usually "altered states of consciousness." I suppose pot sobriety would ironically count as one of those.

SteveS · Post by **SteveS** » Thu Jul 18, 2019 3:59 pm

Av,
Exploring your midpoint structures with your angular natal Neptune, I notice one of the important midpoints:

VE/MC = Nep (0,02 orb, 90 degree aspect, indirect.)

Ebertin says about this midpoint tone:

A peculiar attitude to the problem of love, shyness, unexplainable dislikes or aversions, Renunciation, the state of being unsatisfied and unhappy (in love)...

Av, you may want to explore your natal chart more with midpoints/cosmobiology. What astrological program are you using?

Avshalom Binyamin · Post by **Avshalom Binyamin** » Thu Jul 18, 2019 4:27 pm

Just astro.com. I'm on a company mac and can't install personal software, unfortunately. I don't have my own computer.

I understand Av. Having and learning how to manipulate Solar Fire to quickly get the pertinent data one needs for their natals is a must for an astrologer in today's astrological world. And, most important, Jim is a wiz with Solar Fire for all our learning curves with our natal charts. I know little about astro.com program but certainly understand its main advantage--its free! I believe Jupe knows a-lot about astro free program. Jupe, do you know if astro program computes natal midpoint trees?

Thu Jul 18, 2019 5:50 pm

Yes, astro.com (aka Astrodienst) allows you to choose Ebertin style (with midpoints) under Chart Drawing Style. There are others as well. They are well marked.

SteveS · Post by **SteveS** » Fri Jul 19, 2019 7:28 am

Thanks Jupe. Av, you may look into the astro program and see if you can figure out how to get your Midpoint Trees with your natal planets; Asc & MC. If achievable, you would then want to obtain Ebertin's book 'Combination of Stellar Influences,' in order to explore with more depth with cosmobiology pertaining to midpoint structures with your natal points.

Here they are. I've limited this to the 90° wheel:

*Mer* / Sat/Nep +0°38' d / Sat/Asc +0°44' d
*Nep* / Ven/MC -0°02' / *Asc* +0°12' d
*Asc* / *Nep* -0°12' d / Ven/MC -0°14'
*Sat* / Jup/MC -0°59' d
*MC* / Sun/Jup -0°11' d
*Mon* / Sat/Plu -0°18' d
*Sun* / Ven/Mar +0°20' d
*Plu* / Mer/Sat -0°06' d

Click on PDF Additional Tables just above the chart and it displays a complete list of the natal planetary data, AND a list of planetary distances AND the midpoint structures and aspects AND the midpoints in zodiacal order AND the midpoints in 90 degree order.

SteveS · Post by **SteveS** » Fri Jul 19, 2019 4:52 pm

Thanks Jupe, but I noticed Jim has posted some important midpoints for Av. But with your astro.com program observation handling Midpoints, Av and other members on this forum who use astro free program now have access to a rapid calculation of their natal midpoints for possible investigations with Ebertin's book, 'Combination of Stellar Influences.'

Avshalom Binyamin · Post by **Avshalom Binyamin** » Mon Jul 22, 2019 10:04 am

Thanks all! I am ordering Ebertin's book from Amazon today.

The combo of a Ma-90-Me, Ve-90-Pl this weekend, ongoing Pl-90-Pl, and a week of sobriety* left me pretty irritable this weekend.

*at the same time, I feel quite "altered". I believe my THC-laden fat reserves are making me high as I continue to exercise and lose weight.

Last Lunar Return:

t. Ur-IC 2.26'
r. Me-MC 2.32'
t. Ve-DC 2.53'
t./r. Mo-MC 3.00'
t. Su-DC 7.03'
t. Sa-AC 7.38

t.Ur-90-t.Ma 1.35'
t.Ur-90-t.Me 1.41'
t.Su-180-t.Sa 0.35'
t.Su-90-r.Su 0.29'
t.Sa-90-r.Su 1.04

Sexual rebellion, surprising discoveries, financially difficulty or other struggle, emotional excitement and frustration. Spotlight of recognition for musical talent or heroism. Good for writing, mental productivity. New loves and friends, tokens of affection. Good and bad news.

Emphasis on close relationships. Special attention, and development of stage persona. Publicity. Affectionate. Getting my act together. Lifestyle shifts.

Tomorrow morning my demilunar sets up:

t. Ne-MC 0.28"
t. Sa-DC 3.05"
t. Pl-DC 8.32"
r. Ju-IC 8.45"

t. Ne-90-r. Ne 2.22"
t. Sa-90-r. Su 0.02"
t. Pl-90-r. Pl 0.19"
t. Pl-180-t. Ve 2.39"

Emotional excitement, fantasy, mysticism, art. Hard work. Isolation. But feeling confident about it. Dramatic turning points in relationships: elopement, divorce.

This, along with the next couple lunar returns/oppositions seem to mean that this summer will be good time to continue to test embracing solitude, channeling emotional energy into psychological healing, music, etc.

You likely have already thought about the thing I'm about to say, but it seemed worth saying.

You probably know that people that have difficulty cleanly and candidly expressing anger run into problems when they try to change this. Initially, the anger comes out all at the wrong time, in the wrong place, with the wrong impact, and is really about other old stored stuff instead of what's happening in the moment. That's ultimately OK: They have to do it. There are tactics for dealing with it, but the gook has to spill out somewhere once you pop the can.

Similarly, with long-term behaviors at trying to please everyone, when you start making that not your leading priority, I guarantee you'll do it badly

We tend to need practice at any new skill, so there surely will be times that it seems to others that you are a people displeaser.

Empathy and communication will manage some of this in the short run, and practice will win out in the long run.

But there's no need for you to be bindsided by it.

New lunar return:

t. Ne-0-MC 5.08"
t. Sa-0-DC 6.01"
r. Ve-0-IC 8.08"

t. Neptune square r. Neptune 2.36"
t. Saturn square r. Sun 0.50"
t. Saturn square r./t. Moon 2.43"

This month will continue to be about personal transformation around/preoccupation with issues of fantasy/drama/magick, while I simultaneously experience a particularly busy time at work and with music (practicing for some important shows this summer). It's simultaneously dreamy, melancholic, practical, and productive.

Avshalom Binyamin · Post by **Avshalom Binyamin** » Thu Oct 24, 2019 10:37 am

Yesterday, a four-month Uranus-Neptune octile ended. I think this has been a profoundly transformational period, within a bigger transformational period (series of five Pluto-Pluto squares from March 2018 to November 2020).

Interestingly, the Uranus-Neptune transit spanned two trips, both intended to avoid negative transits at home. And in many ways, these trips, and this transit, seems to be about liberation from ideas about relationships and other merger need issues.

It's been a period where I have had increased insight and awareness into some of my attachment issues and ways of relating to people.

I think the birthday trip represented a choosing of a different direction at a profound, pivotal moment.

The last two weeks have been a little challenging, but I feel a well of plenty (Jupiter) protecting me from worry.

Demilunar 12OCT2019

My checking account has been overdrawn this week, a fact that would ordinarily cause me great anxiety. But I'm perfectly calm, because I have a deep sense that there will be enough.

Every time I've needed to pay for something, money seems to just show up. (Just like in Bryce Canyon, when it got down to 8, and the original booking said I'd have to provide my own stove, but I showed up to a cord of firewood and a wood stove.)

Tomorrow I get paid, and I get a very lovely Lunar return.

Lunar Return 26OCT2019
t. Ve-0-AC 0*40'
t. Me-0-AC 3*08'
r. Ve-0-MC 4*00

t. Ve-0-t. Me 3*48'
t. Ve-0-r. Ur 1*42'
t. Ve-0-r. Ma 5*44'
t. Me-0-r. Ma 1*56'
t. Me-0-r. Ur 2*06'
t. Ur-120-r. Ve 0*17'

I'm single, but have been studying about attachment, healthier ways to build connection and emotional security. I've started slowly dating a friend who I have known for a year plus, who has been consistently kind and loving toward me, though we've both decided to take things slow and stay non-exclusive, while focus on connection building and communication.

And I've noticed a pattern shift, where the moments in relationships where typically defensive patterns on both sides have caused things to blow up, I'm now seeing as opportunities to create safety and connect.

---

The current main transit is now a Pluto-Venus octile, which ends 10NOV2019, and is replaced by the returning Pluto-Pluto square on the same day, which itself will continue until 19JAN2020, around the time of an aspect Jim mentioned earlier in the thread:

Progressed SSR Moon opposes your Venus three months after your birthday.

The Venus and Jupiter symbolism is indeed right on target in a big way!

I take it, then, that (so far) you're thinking your SLC SSR is sticking with you after your return home? Great move IMO... and you got a vacation out of it and everything.

Avshalom Binyamin · Post by **Avshalom Binyamin** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 3:43 pm

Very much so! My personality is way more Saturn than Jupiter, and I've always considered myself more unlucky than lucky (but just shy of being cursed to all eternity, fortunately!)

So this almost never happens to me.

I've never felt this good for a month straight.

Oh, and I continue to manifest bounty whenever I'm in a pinch.

I needed gas money this morning, but only had about $28 in my wallet when I went to bed last night (which I was saving for taking the special lady to go tango dancing tonight). This morning, there were two extra $20 bills in there.

Veronica · Post by **Veronica** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 5:10 pm

Im so happy for you!

Can I say something though....
Emotional mature...
I completely get what your saying and I agree
But in regards to those women who seemed not emotionally mature....I truly believe synastry works wether youve met or just chatted on line.
Those woman may have some synergistic aspect with you that really felt beautiful to them, or triggered some other aspect. They may actually be very emotionally mature with someone else and are just at a place and time where they reacted to your chart.
Id definately block them and trust your instincts and do what you need to do to be true to your dreams and goals and work.

Everybody can at certain times in certain situations slip into emotional immaturity. Sometimes we need to swing upsidedown at the playground even though we are almost 50.

So very very happy about your good feelings and happiness!!

Avshalom Binyamin · Post by **Avshalom Binyamin** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 5:21 pm

Good point, V!

I shouldn't label anyone emotionally immature. They are all mature, intelligent people. They are just not safe for me, without blame.

Thank you for saying something.
