Recovering Scorpio

[David Stanton]

According to my birth certificate, I was born October 23, 1968, 7:47 AM in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Ever since I first saw my tropical chart wheel in 1987, I have identified as a triple (or quadruple) Scorpio. I feel surprisingly relieved to have that perception corrected, but I'm still pretty disoriented with my sidereal chart. I've been making my way through the site, putting together what I can on my own, and what I've been able to unravel so far on solunars is amazingly accurate. I am keenly interested to learn more and would be grateful to hear the impressions of anyone already accustomed to this system.

Thank you in advance for your insights and time.

Here's a copy of the chart.

You've probably already found main pointsints, but I'll review them here.

CONSTELLATIONS: Sun in Libra and Moon in Libra. (Think you can find a career in there? <vbg>) Also Mars in Leo.

ANGULARITY: The Sun is a few degrees above the Ascendant - that's the only foreground planet.

ASPECTS: The one close luminary aspect is Moon conjunct Neptune - that stands out from the rest. Other close aspects include Jupiter conjunct Pluto, and a series of sextiles between the Leo-Virgo planets and the Libra-Scorpio ones, primarily Moon sextile Pluto, Venus sextile Uranus, and Jupiter sextile Neptune.

There more subtleties, but these should reflect the salient traits.

A few TRANSITS you might want to consider: You've recently (perhaps a year ago) come out of Neptune square Neptune. Uranus opposed your Jupiter last year, and will be opposing your Uranus next year - broadly, you're in the "Age of Oppositions" when every planet from Uranus inward opposes its natal position (and Neptune squares Neptune) with a short while. (You had Saturn opposite Saturn a month or two ago - Jupiter oppsite Jupiter about a year ago.) This stage of life is also sometimes called Middlescence.

Jupiter opposite your Sun right now - right now (this week)! - should be bringing a significant win and relief from certain concerns - see the longer write-up in the Transits section for more nuance.
