Ask the collective

The idea here is that you put your desires (Venus / Libra) in concrete form (Saturn).

The higher level thought is someone who reads of your wishes may be able to grant them or you may be able to grant theirs. I’ll go first:

I would like this blog to go up a page rank. It used to have a higher page rank and dropped down a year ago. I think it is deserving and as to what people can do to help make this happen, linking the blog when possible or appropriate helps (I think).

Your turn.

Susan Boyle’s natal chart has been interpreted already by several astrologers. Here’s one interpretation I enjoyed, by Robert Blaschke, who makes a very interesting point about her pre-natal eclipse, and in a footnote, points out that Barack Obama had the same pre-natal eclipse.Susan’s Sun/Moon opposition in Aries/Libra forms what astrologers call a T-Square via two 90* angles to Mars in Cancer

To get the current sky organized in my head, I made a diagram of where Pluto, Saturn, Mars and Mercury are for the 12 months. In this diagram, the background space is Pluto in Capricorn like a broad brush. The purple and blue lowest bar is Saturn grounding the structure, the next bar up is Mars activity, and then the top vertical bars are the sign changes of Mercury. The lime green letters mark direct and retrograde movements and the pink symbols on the yellow squares are eclipses.

Mainly what motivated me to make this was thinking about how to prepare for April through July, knowing that Saturn goes back into Virgo and wondering how Mars, having been retrograde, will contribute. After making this diagram, I felt all signs are pointing to the eclipses, which I wasn’t expecting.

The first eclipse of…

“Joni Mitchell is a solar Scorpio with her ruler(Pluto) in Leo making her intensely creative and expressive. With Sun conjunct Mercury she finds it easy to express her views or ideas which are often cutting or incisive. Moon in Pisces strengthens her already high emotional nature and provides an artistic or musical outlet for this. Both Scorpio and Pisces are very private signs dominated by their feelings or impressions. Venus in Virgo likes order, discipline, and civility and can be critical or analytical in love. Mars in Gemini is the inspirational thinker or idea person…”

My eye on the sky

water signsWe’ve got a strong grand trine in water today and while it doesn’t solve all problems it should be a great help.

Instinct and intuition come together and you can use this day to your advantage by feeling your way towards freedom and empowerment.

Venus leaves Libra for Scorpio.

Here is Nora’s (our young student) second question.
2. For someone who knows nothing of the topic, what would be the best way to approach an understanding for astrology? 
Observation is the best way to learn anything. Observation becomes experience. Every experience becomes your truth. You learn that all the looney birds come to your place of business during the Full Moon. Your favorite policeman eats lunch at your favorite restaurant every Full Moon, because he has the day off.  Soon you begin to draw a conclusion that the Full Moon has a special significance.  You read that surgery during a Full Moon is not a good idea, because the patient tends to bleed excessively. Then you read that women who are not on the pill have their period during the Full Moon.  It doesn’t take long to gather a bunch of…

Astropost » Charts of shooting and shooter Fort Hood

November 7th, 2009 @ 4:50 am by Astropost


Here you see the charts of the moment when the shooting in Fort Hood, Texas started (above, with the natal positions of the shooter on the outside of the circle) and separately the chart with the natal positions of the shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan (below).

SATURN
Just like in the case of the incident on Queen’s day (April 30 this year), Saturn had an important role in the chart of the man who caused the tragedy.

-Transit Saturn was opposition the natal Sun of the man who ran his car into the public (on purpose) and it is known now that he planned his suicide and was depressed. He had payed the rent for the last time and had no house after April 30.

- Nidal Malik Hasan has the progressed Sun inconjunct natal and progressed Saturn this year. That is an…

Art and Astrology » Astrology chart of Bjork

November 7th, 2009 @ 4:04 am by Art and Astrology


Bjork is a Scorpio, with a Scorpio Moon and a Scorpio Ascendant. Above all, she has Pluto on top of her chart conjunct Midheaven and Pluto rules Scorpio. Pluto is trine Venus in the second house. This makes it important and rather easy to make money. She makes money with singing. Pluto is mirroring the facts of life, money, influence and ‘ being sexy’ .

ARTS
There is a keen pattern of artistic talent in her chart. Like in the charts of the other talents on this blog, Venus, Moon, Neptune and Midheaven are linked to each other.
- The Midheaven is in aspect with Venus, Neptune and Moon. Venus and Neptune are prominent, because Venus is in aspect with ASC/MC and the angular Neptune is in aspect with Sun/Moon and rising before the Sun. The Virgo Midheaven with Pluto and Uranus are…
