today is the second of three eclipses, how are we all feeling about this?

Visually this eclipse was pretty interesting in my part of the world, at the moment this eclipse occurred we had a cloud of volcanic ash hovering in the skies which had made it's way from from Chile, South America and traveled all the way across Australia which gave the glow from the eclipse a sort of red-tinge.

Astrologically, im not sure.. i've always been interested in the effect eclipses have since my sun signs ruling planet is the moon.

 

[woamotive]

Hmm, I wasn't aware of the eclipse thing going on, I feel so out of the loop ! Suppose I was never 'in', per say - I have only recently become more than 'reading my horoscope in the newspaper' interested in astrology. I do have some books on the subject, and on energies related to each 'sign'... etc. I find it extraordinarily interesting.

I'll make a post it reminding me to re-visit this thread. (haha). I think it'd be a nice diversion from the usual threads/forums I frequent (thanks for all the awesome posts!)

 

[malakaix]

^oh wow... that is very interesting indeed - even in thought.


... dare i ask if you got any pictures?!?
:-x

I wish i did! Even though i have a nice SLR camera.. i don't have a decent lens for it, especially at night.. but luckily a few people got some pictures.

 

[PsychicBuBBLe]

wowzor

 

[Dresden]

Neptune finally (after 12 years) moved out of Aquarius and into Pisces where it belongs, and Uranus is now in Aries!

 

[canarylove]

Me! Im a virgo

Back with another question for our knowledgeable astrologers

My sun sign has just progressed into Leo at 0 degrees from Cancer, im new to understanding progressions but from what little i've read the transition from one sign to the next by the sun usually marks a period of unrest, major changes, letting go of the old, fear and dread. My life has been a freaking nightmare the last couple of years.. i've basically lost all sense of my self.

Of course theirs a lot of contributing factors, but i found the timing between this and the progressions rather interesting, can anyone elaborate on this, i suppose with the progression of the sun into the next sign the native would take on some of that signs traits?

 

[Nagelfar]

In traditional western astrology people usually are for simplification purposes denoted by their sun sign. (for me, Taurus)

However those who have studied the methodology of the occult sides of astrology, know that ones rising sign is supposed to be more of their outward personality, and how they show themselves to others who do not get to know them well, or know them only superficially. I am on the Aquarius / Capricorn cusp with my ascendant. (Aquarius being the most scientifically intellectual of the air signs, and Capricorn being an earth sign at the zenith of the zodiac and in that sense pragmatically universalized)

The position of the Moon (how you come across subconsciously) and Jupiter (the commanding and opulent side of your personality) are very important for your persona as well. Neptune & Uranus are more generational; aspects of generations (the sublimated consciousness and the unbound creative impulses respectively, of the particular zeitgeist in which your generation & you're born/borne).

Mercury, never being more than two signs away from the sun, is your method of communication and how you present yourself - which is interesting because Mercury is exalted in Gemini (messenger of the gods and the twins: 'interaction' with 'duality', as it were) and the Sun can be in Taurus for that; the month of May; in mythology, May was the mother of Hermes; the Greek Mercurius.

I was born with all the planets but mercury and Venus in apparent retrograde motion (which is "negative", they say. For instance, when Mercury is in retrograde, which mine wasn't, but when is, it's claimed that there are more car accidents, travel and miscommunication problems, everything with transference is in disarray). My Mercury is in its exaltation in Gemini. I was born during a full moon so my sun sign is exactly opposite my Moon (Sun very middle of second decan Taurus, Moon center of second decan Scorpio), which should mean my subconsious has more sway over me, before I master that part of myself, than is usual. I was also born with Venus opposite Mars in their mutual falls; Mars in Libra where Venus rules and Venus in Aries where Mars rules; very inauspicious for personal relationships; the planet of love in the sign of war and vice versa as dispositors of one another.

They say all negative aspects are stresses, that, if you can overcome, make you a superior individual over those who are well-aspected and with easy conformations. I was born with the planets of death (Saturn), the dead (former planet Pluto), and the killing/dying (Mars) all in the sign of balance and peace (Libra). Saturn is related to terminus; the fixity of boundary stones and the inability to change; in the sign of balance this would be said to throw me off from easily adjusting; being resistant (but also resilient) to undergoing adaptation.

My Jupiter is in Scorpio with my moon, adding strength to its personality influence over opposing my sun sign. (for purposes of understanding your chart, Jupiter is not only considered the higher spiritual love, associating it with Venus as the lower romantic love, but also with the strength of personality as a lower aspect of the sun. Mercury is the lower interaction / self-presentation, Uranus is the higher interaction / self-presentation)

And being born in 1982; Uranus & Neptune were both in Sagittarius.

One must understand signs also by what fixed stars reside in them by how they relate to the planets; certain cusps are really closer to other constellations, Orion near Taurus for example. The star Antares; the 'other' or 'anti-' Ares (Mars) (the one who rivals, in redness, the planet Mars) relates to Mars and is the reason for Mars' rulership over Scorpio.

It takes a deep, cross cultural, understanding to know fully the depth of symbolism that pertains to western astrology alone. No single person could ever understand every intricacy of it; and its for that reason an interesting art to me, but little more than an art (all art 'uses' science, as much as painting requires geometry, but one needn't study geometry to do it)

Walter Pullen's software program 'Astrolog', is probably the most comprehensive free computer based astrology chart I have ever come across. I suggest it to everyone with a true interest or zeal for astrology and their own aspects (or those of friends).

 

[Gonzales Sanchez]

Hey guys i'm new to astrology, just wondering if it means anything that im a Scorpio, mums an Aquarian and dads a Taurus.. all fixed signs.
Do my parents zodiac signs reflect onto me?
Cheers

Okay......someone who has the desire- shed some light on this current batch or transits for me:
Saturn conj Moon and Asc in Libra (wide conj to Sat and Jupiter)
Saturn Sq Venus and sq Ceres
Venus conj North Node in 10th house / Sextiles Jup and Saturn in 12th house
Venus sq. Chiron- Venus coming into opposition to Merc and Mars in the fourth
Lilith conj DC
Mars sq. Jup and Saturn and sextiling my natal Chiron

Jupiter conj Chiron in 7th
Trines Venus and Squares Mars and Merc

What makes sense here?

 

[Nagelfar]

The first is likely your most dynamic aspect in my opinion:

Saturn conj Moon and Asc in Libra (wide conj to Sat and Jupiter)

Well Saturn is the most inveterate/rigid of the planets, and the moon is the most universal of the "planets" and therefore the least manifest or one with the least distinguishing character of its own. Libra is the fall of the sun, so the ascendant/rising aspect is an intrinsically solar aspect ultimately. Conjunction with Jupiter brightens it all considerably, but to begin with it was rather a noir yet positive complementary condition. Your birthday from your profile indicates you're an Aquarius, which is the detriment of a sun sign. This usually doesn't account for much, but your moon with your rising sign where it is with Saturn, probably indicates your deeper personality is supposedly beholden to your sublimated consciousness, but that it works well for you so long as you take it in passively. The more conflicting aspects, it is said, the more potential for unique creative growth over others with harmonious aspects, and yours are core to your self, at least here.

^Thanks for the response-

Okay......someone who has the desire- shed some light on this current batch or transits for me:

Sun pisces moon cap merc aquarius. Big bump. Hey yallll

 

[Percodeth]

hey guys iam capricorn please tell about my sign thanks

 

[Cyc]

Hey just curious (not meant to be inflammatory, which is why I'm asking this), if I were to make a separate thread about the legitimacy of astrology, would any of you astrology geeks care to try to defend it? i think it's no secret that most scientifically minded people don't accept the legitimacy of astrology... so it is curious to see so many P&S BLers subscribe to it. i have also never heard any justifications from someone actually following astrology, and am curious to hear what fuels your beliefs.

just a curious and friendly question... i don't want to disrupt the purpose of this thread (a place for you guys to congregate) otherwise I'd just post something in here

There is this that I made some time ago. Feel free to resurrect it if you think you have something insightful to add.

 

[canarylove]

Virgo here, i am certainly interested

 

[Cyc]

there are also scientific minded people who don't believe in the moon landing, or there are scientists who are devout catholics.

so no, that thread ain't happening man.

For what it's worth, I think a thread discussing the lack of hard evidence for astrology is just as relevant to this forum as this thread.

I have noticed astrology skepticism threads get shut down in the past, but never with any reason other than it being flamebait. But trust me, as someone who is into knowing concrete answers to things, this thread is serious flamebait to me, so it does work both ways, and I sense a certain amount of bias when it comes to this topic.

If people aren't willing to defend their views on astrology, I would challenge those same people to defend their views on disallowing debates on astrology.

(Yes, I know, it makes people happy and skeptics are a buzzkill.. but surely there's room for some heated discussion somewhere else in the forum.. If not here, where?)

 

[hyroller]

I am Sun and Moon sign Aries, rising sign/Ascendant Virgo closely bordering Libra.

May I ask what degree?

My MC is in the 28th degree of Virgo. I'm discovering, however, that I have come to embrace some very Libran-like tendencies in my ripe old age (26, lol). In fact it was my birthday yesterday - the sun was in its 15th degree of Virgo when I was born (also Mercury's degree of exaltation, and with my 11Gem moon squared to my sun, it all makes perfect sense that I'm a devout student/practitioner of Communications!).

My Mercury is also in Virgo, but only in the first degree, so it is out of orb with my sun. It is, however, conjunct my Mars, at 29Leo. This can often prove to be a caustic combination. Mars is right on the border of the 8th & 9th house, I really honestly believe it expresses itself through both houses, but if I had to choose one, it would be more towards the 9th - meaning I have a Mars, Merc & Sun stellium in the house ruled by Jupiter/Sagittarius.

Starting to get the picture here that there are quite a few squares in my chart/life

My partner is a Gemini (Sun & Merc at 8 degrees - nicely conjunct to my moon) They do say this is the perfect yin/yang combination!! The trouble really starts where his Mars (11Tau) and Venus (15tau) begin to square my poor ol' Venus (12Leo) - I mean, these energies can work well, and I mean really well, together....but they can severely inhibit the expression of love, to an almost paralysing degree. Thankfully his Jupiter is at 6Leo, so my venus has something there to soothe & revitalise it (I have Jupiter almost in complete opposition to it at 9Aquarius - thank heavens - literally - it Trines his Sun & Merc, so that each of these opposing energies are aspected positively!!). We were just having a big conversation about synastry & composite charts last night, or more like I introduced the concepts to him for the first time. He seems very keen & interested in learning more, though I was probably a bit too smashed to explain myself clearly (being my birthday & all, lol). But our synastry chart is absolutely freaky!! My north node AND lunar node (dark of the moon) are exactly conjunct his Mars (11Tau), while his north node lies within 1 degree my sun (14Vir), and his lunar node at 26Leo, conjuncting my Mars, too.

He also has Saturn at 8Virgo, squaring his sun & merc, but lying at the exact midpoint of MY sun & merc. His Uranus also conjuncts MY saturn, in Scorpio, by about 4 degrees - oh yes, this one really knows how to shake things up!!! If it wasn't for his Cancer moon to trine Saturn then we would have some serious trouble (I'm a 17Cap Rising, by the way). Therefore we have a moon-descendant bonding us together as well as the Sun/Moon. Oh, and of course his Venus trining my Sun AND AC. High velocity indeed.

Sorry to hijack this thread about my SO & I! It's just been on my mind quite a bit lately. We knew each other for 3 years prior, and I knew since the second I saw him that he was the man for me... I even dreamt about being with him (just once) earlier this year, about 5-6 months before we got together (My Neptune Trine Mars & Merc, possibly?). Also, on the day we met, Mercury was in the 27th degree of Cancer (the Sun degree of our composite charts), and the day we got together (August 1st of this year) Venus was in the degree of our Composite Mars. And I'm glad I found this thread because I can't seem to find an astrologers' forum that I like enough to contribute to it with a sufficient kind of frequency

Everything is written in the stars! Of this, I am certain.

 

[p1h0r1EA7k]

hello everyone! I am a pisces with moon in libra and virgo ascendant, and have only recently seriously gotten into astrology, though I've had an interest for a number of years. I was wondering if anyone had any information/musings on neptune's upcoming transit into it's home sign of pisces, starting the beginning of this upcoming february, I believe? it is to my understanding that the fourteen years it takes neptune to completely travel across pisces will be accompanied by much change and an unsettlement of the the long-established. thoughts anyone?

Of course. My Sun is at 25 deg, 7 min of Aries, in the Seventh House. My Moon is at 21 deg, 56 min of Aries. My Ascendant is 28 deg, 59 min of Virgo. Sun is considered by some to be in the Eighth House but it is technically in the Seventh. My chart ruler (ruler of the Ascendant) is Mercury, at 0 deg 23 min of Aries - almost a dead hit on my Descendant at the Aries Point!

That's a nice stellium! I also have one in the Eleventh - Mars, North Node (Leo) and Jupiter (Virgo). My Mars, which rules Aries, is at 26 Leo, considered as the "astrologer's degree" by someone whose name I cannot remember at present. All are part of a Grand Trine with Neptune as the "anchor" along with my Sun/Moon.

You're preparing for your Saturn Return, hyroller - do it right! My life is unrecognizable from beforehand, as is my father's (I am his Saturn Return child). Liz Greene did some awesome work on Saturn. I will vouch that it is a tremendously profound time. I bet you and I would hit it off well as friends. Regarding your S/O: try analysis through a corrected Davison chart. I don't do synastry - I'm a political/world event geek.

Cyc - Some belief systems work for some, others for others. My experience with astrology has been of great benefit to my life. When I began studying as an adolescent (I am 31) my parents were undergoing extreme personal difficulties. Astrology was a respite for me. It is not fortunetelling. As I and others have said before, the natal chart provides a roadmap, and a person always retains free will. I respect your viewpoint and your willingness to debate, and I continue to enjoy your contributions to the board. However, as the OP, I request that this not become a debate on the validity of astrology. Yes, the stars can be measured through simple geometry and mathematics! They really can! The traditions passed down through the ages are, to me, worthy of study. YMMV.

Regarding transits: I'm getting my Mars return soon - on my stellium! I hope it brings me the confidence and initiative I have lacked. I
need to spice up my life a bit.
