Anchoring The Moment

> View full report

In the previous post, I looked at the general make-up of the sky. The various overarching influences that may or may not influence Creation at large.

But how can you "personalise" or narrow down the scope of the reading? What am *I* going through right now...?

Here is, in my opinion, a good start...

METHOD:

• Consider a personal birth chart and current transits chart
• Create a combined chart based on midpoints (composite - midpoints)

____________________

MAIN ASPECTS:

• Look for applying aspects with small orbs
• Not all strong aspects will have an interpretation
  

The Sun Trine Pluto
Orb 0°27' Applying
Aspect is Trine

You are a powerful person with strong leadership abilities. You know when to be assertive and when to compromise.

You are able to apply yourself to the job at hand.

WHERE IS THE DAMAGE:

• Look for position of Chiron
• Check houses and any applying aspects for Chiron
• Separating aspects are interesting as well, even with larger orbs
  
• Check the Black Moon and the South Node
  

Jupiter Conjunction Chiron
Orb 3°20' Separating
Aspect is Conjunction

You have a zealous and idealistic side to your nature. You are constantly chasing rainbows, each one brighter than the last. You feel that you are on a mission.

Your lesson is to trust your own inner wisdom. You will then have the ability to become a spiritual teacher of others based on the wisdom gained from your own experiences.



THE SOUTH NODE IN THE 5TH HOUSE
This is a quest to learn to serve humanity. You need to let go of possessive and passionate personal relationships in order to carry out detached service to humanity.



THE SOUTH NODE IN GEMINI
This is a quest for loyalty and one-pointed vision. You have a tendency to be unstable filling your life with many people and activities. You may also experience conflict in your decisions. You need to develop a sense of direction and a higher vision.



23rd Degree of Aquarius (The Black Moon)
Part of Body: Left gastroscnemius muscle
Sabian Symbol: A big bear sitting down and waving all its paws.

____________________

WHERE IS THE FIGHT:

• Look for position of Mars
• E.g., check house placement on the chart and any oppositions
  

MARS IN THE 7TH HOUSE
You have a strong drive for intimate relationships. You like to remain independent within one-to-one relationships.



MARS IN VIRGO
You will pursue your personal desires in a practical and methodical manner. You may be critical if opposed.



5th Degree of Virgo (Mars)
Part of Body: Transverse colon
Sabian Symbol: A man dreaming of fairies.

Finding The Way Back

> View full report

Drama plays a key role in your personal relationships.

You are obsessed with the concept of love and desire and expect your loved ones to share your intensity. Your relationships are strewn with struggles for power and control, and possibly violence.

You need to direct your energies into a demanding, creative pursuit.

______________

You feel that the world is opposing your deepest wishes and become explosive in response.

Your life undergoes change and you react. As a child you may have been a victim of a powerful parent figure.

Your challenge is to be powerful in the most positive sense of the word.

______________

You are your own worst enemy.

You struggle to be powerful and assertive, but your path to success is strewn with strife. This may have started early in life when your home felt more like a battlefield than a safe haven leaving you feeling powerless and ineffective.

Now it appears that other people are opposed to your achievements. What you don't realise is that you are subconsciously sabotaging your own success. You need to honor your own and other people's worth.

You may find that the battle then becomes one which you lead for those who need your empathy and help.

THE SOUTH NODE IN LEO

This is a quest towards service to humankind. You will experience a struggle between your own personal needs and a sense of dedication to others. You need to lay aside your personal need for honor and prestige and use your talents to serve the world.

METHOD:

• Good chart visualisation helps with instant identification of interesting influences.
  
  It's a good idea, it seems, to spend some time experimenting with your software package to explore various chart display options. Emphasising with colour and line thickness seems like the way to go, indeed.
  
  Solar Fire is certainly well equipped here.
  ZET8 Lite does a pretty good job, too - for a free astrology package.
  
  
• The chart above is just a simple current transits chart. It has some interesting planetary members, as well. Mythology and symbolism helped me decide what would be interesting to play with.
  
  I'm afraid there is no other way around it - look at what's available in the "astrological toolbox" of planets and asteroids (don't forget the weird and unfamiliar ones); read up on their astrological interpretation in a good reference book (or several books even); cross-reference with the available mythological symbolism (e.g., Chiron is a good example here).
  
  Spending lots of time in research always brings a fresh wave of new ideas.
  
  
• In this system, solid lines indicate Applying Aspects - broken lines are for Separating Aspects.
  
  Applying aspects seem to be a good indicator of "issues" that are coming on, so to speak - things that are of major importance at this moment. Separating aspects could then be agreed to point to "issues" that are fading in emphasis - things that are now moving away, lessons learnt or not learnt yet.
  
  Thicker lines indicate tighter orbs - some might argue (I do) that tight orbs point to the more significant aspects for interpretation (i.e., the thicker the line the stronger the current influence).
  
  Thinner lines are reserved for aspects with a larger orb of influence. That does not make them irrelevant though. Some of the more interesting background influences will show up here - or at least that is what I have observed so far.
  
  So it follows that thick solid lines are the ones to start your interpretation with. Their corresponding planetary actors will probably hold interesting clues as well - e.g., house and constellation placements, degrees, etc.
  
  
• It is interesting that even in such a basic configuration, the interpretation of current aspects has a "ring" to it...
