The Part of Marriage

The Part of Marriage

Parts in General

The Part of Marriage is one of the Arabic parts or Greek lots. It is a sensitive point in any chart and can be used when considering marriages, betrothals and nuptials.

Natal aspects to this point will colour the marital urges of the person.

  

Part of Marriage Calculation

The Part of Marriage calculation is as follows:

ASC + DEC – Venus = Part of Marriage

The Part of Marriage is placed in the same hemisphere (north or south) of the Ascendant/Descendant axis as Venus, and at the same distance as Venus is from the closer point Ascendant or Descendant.

In other words, The Part of Marriage is as far away from the Ascendant or Descendant as Venus.

 

table-of-the-signs-starting-degrees

Convert the Positions to Zero Aries

You have the convert the zodiac positions of the Ascendant, the Descendant and Venus to degrees on the 360 wheel. This starts from Zero Aries. All calculations will be done from this point.

First convert the Ascendant then the Descendnat then Venus.

You make this conversion so you can do maths (adding and subtracting) on the positions. We will convert the answer back to the signs at the end.

You may get an answer that is greater than 360 (say 410) and in that case, minus 360 before you convert back to the sign.

Elizabeth Taylor: Example Chart

As we are talking about marriage, I thought of using beautiful Elizabeth Taylor’s chart as she was married 7 times.

 

  

Elizabeth-taylor-birth-chart-1

Elizabeth Taylor

Example Calculation

POM = ASC + DEC – Venus

POM = 13°15′ Sagittarius + 13°15′ Gemini – 17°33′ Aries

POM = [13°15′ + 240° (Sagittarius)] + [ 13°15′ + 60 (Gemini)] – 17°33′ (Aries)

POM = [250°15′ + 73°15′] – 17°33′

POM = 323°30′ – 17°33′

POM = 305°57′

POM = 305°57′ – 300 (for Aquarius, see table)

POM = 5°51′ Aquarius

 

The Importance of Venus

Venus is hugely important in the Part of Marriage calculation. Venus is the planet of romance, love and marriage among other things.

Depending on how far above or below the horizon Venus is found, it will be the same distance as the Part of Marriage.

 

Venus Ascendant Aspects

Venus Conjoined the Ascendant

If Venus is conjoined the Ascendant the the Part of Marriage will be conjoined the Descendant.

 

Venus Sextile the Ascendant

If Venus is sextile the Ascendant the the Part of Marriage will be sextile the Descendant.

 

Venus Square the Ascendant

If Venus is square the Ascendant the the Part of Marriage will be square the descendant (and so also square the Ascendant).

In fact, if Venus does square the Ascendant then Venus will be very close to the Part of Marriage and they will be conjoined,

This special placement provides a powerful message in any chart regarding love and marriage. Take special note of this aspect when working on relationship charts with your clients.

 

Elizabeth-taylor-chart-2

Part of Marriage Eyeball Calculation

You can find this point by looking at the chart.

  • Find Venus.
  • Draw a line parallel to the Ascendant/Descendant Line across the chart.
  • That point will be the Part of Marriage.

Examples

  • If Venus is 10° above the Ascendant then the Part of Marriage is 10° above the Descendant.
  • If Venus is 25° below the Ascendant the Venus is 25° below the Descendant.
  • If Venus is 10° above the Descendant then the Part of Marriage is 10° above the Ascendant.
  • If Venus is 25° below the Decsendant the Venus is 25° below the Ascendant.

 

Parallel Lines

In the chart below for Elizabeth Taylor, note the red line parallel to the Ascendant / Descendant line that is drawn from the point of  her natal Venus.

This is an easy way to work out the Part of marriage quickly. Of course if you want the exact position for the Part of Marriage you will have to do the calculations.

Solar Fire lists the Part of Marriage so I recommend that program for this type of work.

Part of Marriage Meaning

This sensitive point represents the qualities and experiences you seek or encounter in relationships, marriage and long-term meaningful partnerships.

Its placement in the natal chart can give insights into your approach to marriage, the type of partner you are attracted to, and the dynamics of your romantic relationships.

Here are some key points to consider when interpreting the Part of Marriage:

Sign

The sign in which the Part of Marriage falls can reveal important qualities and characteristics desired or sought after in a partner.

For example, a Part of Marriage in a fire sign like Aries may suggest a preference for adventurous and dynamic partners, while a Part of Marriage in an earth sign like Taurus may indicate a desire for stability and security in relationships.

Dispositor

Always consider the Part of Marriages dispositor which is the planet that rules the sign which the Part of Marriage is in.

In Elizabeth Taylor’s chart her Part of Marriahe is in Aquarius so there are two dispositors. The firt is Saturn as the traditional ruler of Aquarius and teh Second is Uranus as the modern ruler of Aquarius.

 

Part of Marriage House

The house placement of the Part of Marriage highlights the area of life where one is most likely to seek or experience significant partnerships and marital experiences.

For instance, if the Part of Marriage falls in the 7th house, which traditionally governs marriage and partnerships, it suggests a strong focus on committed relationships and marriage in the individual’s life.

Aspects

Aspects between this point and other planets or points in the chart can provide further insights into the dynamics of relationships and marriage.

Harmonious aspects may indicate ease and compatibility in partnerships, while challenging aspects could suggest areas of tension or growth in relationships.

Transits and Progressions

Transits and progressions can trigger significant events or developments in one’s romantic life, such as marriage, divorce, or significant relationship milestones.

Pay attention to transits and progressions to help you navigate important relationship phases and transitions.

Overall

The Part of Marriage gives valuable, if subtle, insights into the area of partnerships, marriage and committed relationships.

It provides guidance on the qualities, dynamics and experiences people may experience in their romantic lives.

Background

In early 2024 I had the idea to offer online chart interpretations. These would be for listeners of our podcast.

The online astrology reading is not a face-to-face consultation, but it is an interpretaion that is discussed on the podcast or perhaps on Youtube. I considered inviting Arwynne to join in the conversation on some of them and she was excited to chim in on this, the first online astrology reading. I am happy that Arwynne joined me for the interpretation on the podcast.

Also please note that there was so much interest in the Online Astrology Readings that there is an 8 month waitlist because we need to catch up with all the readings already requested.

 

 

Chart Details

Birth City

When starting any chart reading you need the birth details. Taurpio’s was born at 6:28 pm, on the 28th April 1983, in Wellington, New Zealand.

 

Current City

Because I will look at the transits, I asked where she was living now and it turns out that she now resides in Perth, Australia.

Dispositor Tree

Dispositor trees are another way to visualize the chart. This chart has two dispositor trees. The first is a Planet in Sign Tree, the Jupiter one, and the second is the Mutual Reception Tree with Mercury and Venus.

See the Dispositor Tree diagram further down.

 

Planet is Sign: Dispositor Tree

Jupiter is in its own sign of Sagittarius and so is well placed on the top line. Below Jupiter is Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius. Jupiter disposes both Uranus and Neptune.

 

Mutual Reception Dispositor Tree

The two planets in mutual reception are Mercury and Venus. Mercury is in Venus’ sign of Taurus and Venus is in Mercury’s sign of Gemini. This means that Mercury and Venus are in mutual reception and have equal status in the dispositor tree. They go on the top line.

Below Venus is Chiron, Mars and the Sun in Taurus and Pluto in Libra. Venus disposes Chiron, Mars and the Sun. Below Mars is the Moon and Saturn in Scorpio. Mars disposes the Moon and Saturn. There are no planets below Mercury because there are no other planets other than Venus in either of Mercury’s signs Gemini and Virgo.

Links and Aspects

I always note any links (the arrows) that are also aspects in the chart. In this chart Jupiter is linked to Uranus and there is a conjunction between the two. The Moon and Mars are linked in the tree and they are in opposition to each other as well. The aspected links are maked in red.

Chart Rulers

I always highlight the chart rulers in a dispositor tree and in this chart the two chart rulers are Mars and Scorpio which are highlighted in yellow.

Main Comments from Taurpio

These are the main comments and question that Taurpio wanted us to focus on. Arwynne and I can’t cover everything in a 30 minute podcast, so we did what we could.

  

Reading Special Focus?

“How to make the best of the delightful pluto square pluto transit I’m going through. Somewhat challenging.”

Your Favourite Starzology Astrology Podcast Episodes?

“I love them all. I find yourself and Arwynne super engaging. I really enjoy the planets through the signs, also when you talk about generational transits i.e Chiron return. Also enjoyed the Oriental planet, mine’s Neptune.”

Additionally…

“I feel like I have a lot of polarity in my chart, very fixed energy of ♉️ and ♏️. Also interested to hear about the axis of the 6th and 12th houses.”

Forecasting: Transits recent Past

Pluto square Pluto

This transformative aspects which was in place for the past two years has finally cleared. Taurpio specifically asked about this aspect and we discuss in more in the podcast episode.

 

Forecasting: Transits Upcoming

Pluto square Saturn

Pluto is squaring Saturn now and will do so another two times during the course of 2024. This is marked in orange on the Dispositor Tree.

 

Taurpio-natal-transit-bi-wheel

Graphic Ephemeris

Graphic Ephemeris Defaults

I always set my Graphic Ephemeris defaults as follows:

  

  • 45 degrees.
  • Eighth harmonic aspects.
  • Two years.
  • Start six months ago.
  • Go ahead for 18 months.
taurpio-graphic-ephemeris

Graphic Ephemeris: What to Add

Once I have the Graphic Ephemeris printed out, I begin to add extra forecasting details. These other forecasting techniques are great at underlying what has already been brought forward in the transits.

Graphic Ephemeris: Eclipses

I look for lunar and solar eclipses for the next 12 months. I add any eclipses that conjoin the natal chart planets or points.

Graphic Ephemeris: Secondary Progressions

For the secondary progressions, I add any secondary progressed planet that changes of sign or house in teh next year. Additionally I add any secondary progressed planet of angle that conjoins a natal planet or points.

Graphic Ephemeris: Solar Arc Directions

I add the Solar arc directed planet changes of sign or house. I also add any Solar arc directed planets that conjoin a natal plants or point. See more on this later.

Solar Return Chart

The solar return chart can standalone and be interpreted by itself. This is another direct forecasting technique that I use after transits and eclipses. I always cast the solar return chart for the place they are at on their birthday.

With a solar retrun chart I look for:

 

  • The Solar Return Sun’s house.
  • The Solar Return Sun’s aspects.
  • Solar return ascendant in the natal chart.

You can continue on and interpret the whole chart but remember that is is the Sun that is the basis of this chart and therefore the Sun in the solar return chart is the most important.

If you want to loo for love and money then cast a Venus return chart and interpret that.

Taurpio-solar-return-chart

Secondary Progressions

With secondary progressions I cast the secondary progressed chart but mainly look at the bi-wheel and not the standalone secondary progressed chart.

When using bi-wheels I alwasy put the natal chart in the center as that is what everything else is based on. The person is the topic and the secondary progressed planets will affect the natal chart from the outside in to the natal cahrt or the core of the person.

The bi-wheel has the natal chart in the center and the secondary progressed chart on the outside.

 

What to Look for in Secondary Progressions

The three main secondary progressions that I am looking for are:

 

  • Secondary progressed Moon phase and when is the next phase change.
  • Secondary progressed planets or points changing natal sign.
  • Secondary progressed planets or points changing natal house.
  • Secondary progressed planets or points conjoining natal planets.

 

Personally, I don’t often consider other secondary progressed aspects unless I’m into the deeper third, fourth or fifth sessions with my client.

Taurpio-bi-wheel-natal-and-secondary-progression

Solar Arc Directions

With solar arc directions I cast the solar arc directed chart but only look at the bi-wheel and not the standalone solar arc directed chart.

When using bi-wheels I always put the natal chart in the center as that is what everything else is based on. The person is the topic and the solar arc directed planets will affect the natal chart from the outside in to the natal chart or the core of the person.

The bi-wheel shown below has the natal chart in the center and the solar arc directed chart on the outside.

 

What to Look for in Solar Arc Directions

The three main secondary progressions that I am looking for are:

 

  • Directed planets or points changing natal sign.
  • Directed planets or points changing natal house.
  • Directed planets or points conjoining natal planets.

 

Personally, I don’t often look at other solar arc directed aspects, like squares and oppositions, unless I’m into the deeper third, fourth or fifth sessions with my client.

Conclusion

Chart Overview

In this post I have highlighted the important factors in this chart. I would urge you to develop your chart reading skills by working through the post from top to bottom and concentrate on the chart details that I have brought forward for consideration. Yes, there is much more to discuss about this chart, but those bits can be left for another day.

I want to inspire you, an Aspiring Astrologer, to get better at chart reading by focussing in on what really matters in a chart and leaving the lighter signifiers for another day.

I think it is better to teach someone how to fish and not give them a fish. So to relate that to chart interpretation, “It is better to teach you how to interpret a chart than to do it for you.” This is why I have not provided thorough interpretations in this question because you need to do it for yourself.

 

Chart Interpretation Done For You

However, if you requested a full chart consultation from me, then I would give you all the information surrounding the placements in the chart and the full forecast prediction.

 

Thanks

I want to thank Taurpio for sending in her questions and especially for listening to our podcast in the first place. This post answers our podcast listener Taurpio’s questiions. It is heartening to know that we have listener’s from as far away as Perth, Western Australia in our audience. This shows the power of podcasting.

Chart for 2024

Chart Details

This chart is set for the moment that the Sun enters Aries in 2024. 8:10pm, March 19th, 2024, in Vancouver. I’m using the Zero Aries house system so the chart is relevant for everywhere around the world.

Solar Cycle

Zero Aries

This day is a part of the solar cycle which is the path of the Sun every year. It is marked as the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading north which is when it enters Aries.

Equinox: Ostara

It is the equinox as well. In the Wheel of the Year this day is the festival of Ostara.

 

 

Chart Shape

Bowl Chart Shape

This chart is a loose bowl shape where all the planets are on one side of the chart. Frequently, the leading and trailing planets are in opposition. That the Moon is slightly out of the exact 180° shows that this is not technical a bowl, but for me it’s close enough.

  

Leading/Cutting Planet

The leading or cutting planet is Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto will rise ahead of all the other planets on this day and they will trail behind it as they rise over the horizon.

  

Trailing Planet

The trailing planet is the Moon in Leo.

  

Rim Opposition

The Moon is in opposition aspect to Pluto. This creates what is called a rim opposition. The idea is that they for the rim of the bowl.

  

international-astrology-day-chart-2024

Conjunctions

Sun Conjoined Neptune

The Sun is conjoined Neptune which is in dignity in Pisces. Here Neptune is at the tail end of Pisces but still strong in rulership. This is a disassociate aspects as the Sun is in the active fire sign of Aries and Neptune is in the passive water sign of Pisces.

 

Venus Conjoined Saturn

Venus is conjoined Saturn in Pisces. Venus is also parallel Saturn so that makes is a powerful “double whammy” conjunction and one not to be ignored.

 

More on Aspects of Declination.

Jupiter Conjoined Uranus

Jupiter is conjoined Uranus in Taurus. Jupiter is applying to Uranus and this means that the aspects is not yet exact but it is going to be exact later in the year as Jupiter moves towards Uranus.

 

Sun Complex

Ingress Chart

In an ingress chart, like this one, the Sun is the main player and its complex of sign, house, position, rulership and aspects is crucial to understanding the chart. An ingress chart is a chart set for the exact moment a planet enters a new sign or house. Typically, you look at solar ingresses for global interpretations. However, all planetary ingresses can be valuable to determine the energy shifts and expression of the period.

Sun Sign

The Sun is in Aries.

Sun Rules

The Sun disposes the Moon in Leo.

Sun Aspects

Neutral Aspects

The Sun is conjoined Neptune which is in dignity in Pisces.

Soft Aspects

The Sun is trine the Moon in Leo in the First Quarter phase. The Sun is sextile Pluto in Aquarius.

Major Aspect Pattern: Stellium

Stellium Planets

A stellium forms when three or more planets are within 8° of each other. The three planets in this chart’s stellium are Mercury, Chiron and Eris all in Aries. As the ruler of Aries the planet Mars disposes this stellium.

Major Aspect Pattern: Quintile Pointer

Quintile Pointer

There is a major aspect pattern of a fat quintile pointer with the three planets Moon, Venus and Uranus.

Quintile pointers only contain aspects of the fifth harmonic (when you divide the chart by 5). There are two aspects which are the quintile at 72° and the biquintile at 144°. Quintile pointers can be fat or thin it depends. The energy from the base planets (in this case the Moon and Venus) will flow towards the point or the focal planet Uranus and will be expressed out into the world at 20° Taurus. If you have planets or points at this position it will affect you more.

Focal Planet

Uranus in Taurus is the focal planet. Note that Uranus is disposed by Venus the ruler of Taurus. I would also consider that Venus is conjoined Saturn, and that Uranus is conjoined Jupiter when interpreting this quintile pointer.

Chart Ruler and Chart Overlays

Chart Ruler and Chart Overlays

Author: Alison Price   –   Published: March 2024

Chart Ruler and Chart Overlays

Planets as the Chart Ruler

The chart ruler is the planet which rules the sign on the Ascendant. As the Earth rotates every planet gets to rule a chart as its own sign takes up the Ascendant position. When a particular sign is on the Ascendant, we can see that the signs will be on the other house cusps in sequence. Each sign lies on a house cups in order but not if there are intercepted signs.

 

Chart Overlay

A chart overlay will indicate that certain signs will be on the house cusps and we can discuss them in relation to the chart ruler. When the chart ruler is in the different houses its drive is modified in line with the house. Very often the meaning of this planet by its placement and complex is the main thrust of a person’s life.

decorative-signs-wheel

Intercepted Signs

If you use Placidus cusps, or some of the other houses systems, you may have an intercepted sign. An intercepted sign is a sign that is fully engulfed in a house. The intercepted sign will not lie over a house cusp. An intercepted sign’s planetary ruler, (the planet that rules the sign), may not have a house to rule. This makes the planet weaker.

Intercepted sign come in pairs. There will either be two intercepted signs or none.

 

House Rulers

Always check which sign is on the cusp of each house and adjust your interpretations accordingly. For example if Libra has no house cusp then typically Scorpio may have two house cusps in a row.

 

David Bowie: Virgo and Pisces Intercepted

In the birth chart for David Bowie shown below, it has Virgo and Pisces as intercepted signs. Note the intercepted signs are a pairs of opposite signs.

 

Virgo Intercepted

Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, has no Virgo houses to rule. However, Mercury still rules the 4th and 5th houses through its rulership of Gemini.

 

Pisces Intercepted

However, Neptune, the modern ruler of Pisces, has no house to rule. This makes Neptune slightly weaker in this chart.

 

Consecutive Houses Same Sign

In Bowie’s birth chart, the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius (opposite pairs) are on two consecutive houses.

Gemini is on the 5th and 6th houses. So Mercury rules the Gemini house (and not the Virgo houses because there are none).

Sagittarius is on the 10th and 11th houses. This indicates that Jupiter has more influence through Sagittarius being on two house cusps.

David-bowie-chart

Luminaries Signs Intercepted

If the intercepted sign is Cancer or Leo it means that the Moon or the Sun do not have houses to rule. This makes them weaker which is unfortunate but typically another planet will step forward as the most influential in the chart.

 

Sylvester Stallone: Cancer Intercepted

In the birth chart for Sylvester Stallone shown below, it has Cancer and Capricorn as intercepted signs. Note the intercepted signs are a pairs of opposite signs.

 

Cancer Intercepted

The Moon as the ruler of Cancer has no house to rule! This make the Moon weaker in this chart.

Additionally, all planets in Cancer (the intercepted sign), that is the Sun and Saturn, will take step backwards as well and they will struggle to be prominent in his chart both natally and by transit.

By the way the Moon is the most elevated planet (nearest to the Midheaven), so this is a slightly redeeming factor for the Moon.

 

Capricorn Intercepted

Saturn the ruler of Capricorn, as the traditional ruler of Aquarius still rules the 2nd house. So Saturn does have a house to rule but not through Capricorn only through Aquarius.

 

Consecutive Houses Same Sign

In Stallone’s birth chart, the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius (opposite pairs) are on two consecutive houses.

Gemini is on the 6th and 7th house cusps and Sagittarius is on the 1st and 12th house cusps. This indicates that both Mercury and Jupiter will have influence through Gemini and Sagittarius. 

 

sylvester-stallone-chart

The Chart Ruler in the Houses

First House

When the chart ruler is in the first house you are the embodiment of the ruling planet. This is a very strong position for the chart ruler.

When the chart ruler is in the tenth house you strive to establish yourself in the world and will focus on this against all odds. You micro manage.

When the chart ruler is in the eleventh house you want to be an individual in a group with many connections and use the internet.

Twelfth House

When the chart ruler is in the twelfth house you tend to live alone or apart from the rest of humanity. You seek solace in privacy. This is a weak placement for the chart ruler.

The Sun as Chart Ruler

The Sun is the chart ruler when Leo is on the Ascendant. This is a super duper power position for the Sun and no other planet will be able to dominate it unless the Sun is retrograde. laughing

 

Leo Overlay

When the First house cusp is Leo, you present yourself in a dramatic way.

When the Second house cusp is Virgo, you are careful with pennies but not so much the big money.

When the Eleventh house cusp Gemini, you have a variety of friends.

When the Twelfth house cusp Cancer, you take care of your imagination.

The Moon as Chart Ruler

The Moon is the chart ruler when Cancer is on the Ascendant. This is a very good situation for the Moon.

The Moon may dominate the chart and the only other planet likely to give it a run for its money is the Sun. Whether the Sun can outshine the Moon will depend on the Sun’s position, the lunar phase and any eclipses in the chart.

Cancer Overlay

When the First house cusp is Cancer, you are soft and round looking.

When the Second house cusp is Leo, you spends on gifts for others.

Solar Eclipse: April 8, 2024

Solar Eclipse: April 8, 2024

Author: Alison Price   –   Published: March 2024

Solar Eclipse

April 8, 2024

The Eclipse Path: Red Line

The path of a solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, refers to the path along which the eclipse’s shadow travels as it crosses the Earth’s surface.

This particular eclipse is will follow a distinct path. It will provide places within its track with the opportunity to witness either a partial or total solar eclipse. How much you can see depends on your location relative to the eclipse’s path.

The path of the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, crosses across North America. It gives observers in some areas the chance to experience the awe-inspiring spectacle of a total solar eclipse.

The eclipse’s path begins in Mexico, near the Pacific coast, then extends northeastward across the United States. In the USA it passes through states of Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

Finally, the eclipse’s path crosses into eastern Canada before reaching the North Atlantic Ocean.

Totality: Blue Line

The path of totality is where the Moon completely obscures the Sun’s disk. Observers are treated to the breathtaking sight of the Sun’s corona. The solar corona is the outer atmosphere visible only during a total solar eclipse.

Outside the path of totality, regions will experience varying degrees of partial eclipse. A partial eclipse is where only a part of the Sun is covered by the Moon.

As the eclipse progresses along its path, the duration of totality varies depending on your specific location within the path.

If you are closer to the centerline of the eclipse’s path you will see longer durations of totality compared to those near the edges.

Solar Eclipses in General

Solar eclipses occur when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun. The Moon blocks the Sun’s light from reaching certain parts of the Earth.

During these events, the Sun and Moon will form both the conjunction aspect and parallel aspect in astrology.

The type of solar eclipse is categorized based on the extent to which the Sun is covered by the Moon and the distance of both celestial bodies from the Earth at the eclipse moment.

There are six distinct types of solar eclipses, each determined by these factors. Only people who are on the path of the Moon’s shadow across the Earth’s surface can witness a solar eclipse.

It’s worth noting that there are typically at least two or more solar eclipses each year. Eclipse seeasons give everyone many opportunities to observe this awe-inspiring events.

Solar Eclipse: Interpretation

A solar eclipse is symbol of intensified focus on a specific position within the Zodiac. It infuses heightened energy into the area of the birth chart where the eclipse takes place.

Understanding the ruling planet of the zodiac sign hosting the eclipse is crucial. Mars is the disposing planet becasue the eclipse is in Aries.

Think of a solar eclipse as like a super conjunction. It acts as a cosmic focus and draws together and harmonizes various circumstances.

However, the eclipse’s energy is modified by the aspects with other planets in the eclipse chart. These planetary interactions contribute to shaping the subtle expression of this solar eclipse’s influence.

solar-eclipse-chart-april-8-2024

Solar Eclipses: Influence Timing

Typically, the influence of a solar eclipse extends for a time in months equal to the length of the eclipse itself, measured in minutes.

For instance, if a solar eclipse lasts for four minutes, its energy will be in effect for approximately four months after the eclipse event.

This time relationship shows that the intensity and duration of a solar eclipse’s impact are directly proportional to the length of time it lasts.

In short, the longer the time of the eclipse, the more prolonged its influence will be felt in our lives.

Solar Eclipses: Personal

When a solar eclipse aligns closely with a planet or point in your birth chart, it holds considerable significance for you. This alignment suggests that the themes associated with that planet or point will be emphasized and energized by the eclipse’s influence.

 

Solar Eclipse Conjoining Your Chart

Specifically, if a solar eclipse happens to conjoin your natal Sun, it will have a substantial impact on your life for the following twelve months. This is shown in your solar return chart.

This prolonged influence indicates that the eclipse’s effects will resonate strongly for the entirety of the upcoming year. Eclipses in solar return charts will shape various aspects of your life and personal growth.

 

Solar Eclipse Not Conjoining Your Chart

On the other hand, if a solar eclipse does not conjoin with any planet or point in your chart, its effects will be less and it could potentially pass by.

In such instances, while the eclipse may still carry some degree of influence, its impact is likely to be more subtle or fleeting compared to charts where it closely interacts with natal placements.

What to Expect

The solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, is anticipated to be a momentous celestial event capturing the attention of skywatchers and astrological enthusiasts alike. This particular eclipse is set to occur within the zodiac sign of Aries, infusing its dynamic and assertive energy into the cosmic landscape.

As the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow over specific regions of the Earth, observers within the eclipse’s path will witness the mesmerizing sight of the Sun obscured by the Moon. This alignment signifies a potent convergence of cosmic forces, symbolizing a heightened focus on themes associated with the sign of Aries.

Aries Sun People

For individuals born under the sign of Aries or with significant placements in Aries within their birth charts, this solar eclipse holds particular significance. Its influence is likely to resonate strongly with their personal identity, ambitions, and desires for self-expression. The eclipse’s effects may catalyze new beginnings, spur decisive action, or prompt a reevaluation of individual goals and aspirations.

Moreover, the broader astrological context surrounding the eclipse, including aspects formed with other planets and celestial bodies, will further shape its impact on both collective and individual levels. Aspects such as conjunctions, squares, and trines with planets like Mars, the ruler of Aries, or transformative Pluto, can provide additional insights into the unfolding dynamics of this cosmic event.

Given the duration and intensity of the eclipse, its effects are expected to reverberate for several months beyond its occurrence. Therefore, individuals attuned to the rhythms of the cosmos are encouraged to pay close attention to any developments or themes that emerge around the time of the eclipse, as they may herald significant shifts and opportunities for growth in the months ahead.

The solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, promises to be a pivotal moment infused with the fiery energy of Aries, signaling a period ripe for personal and collective transformation. As the celestial spectacle unfolds, it invites us to embrace the spirit of courage, initiative, and innovation, as we navigate the unfolding journey of our lives amidst the cosmic dance of the planets and stars.

solar-eclipse-aspectarian-april-8-2024

April 8th, Solar Eclipse in Aries

The upcoming solar eclipse is positioned at 19 degrees Aries and is set to impact individuals born between April 6th and 10th of any year. This celestial event will play a significant role in shaping their Solar Return chart for the upcoming year. However, even for those outside this specific birthdate range, the effects of the eclipse’s energy are expected to linger for approximately three months. It’s crucial to keenly observe any developments that transpire on the day of the eclipse, as they are likely to resonate as personal themes in your life.

Chart Indicators for an Astrologer

Chart Indicators for an Astrologer

Author: Alison Price   –   Published: March 2024

Uranus as an Indicator for an Astrologer

Your natal chart gives clues as to the type of astrologer you are likely to be. Modern astrologers take Uranus, as the ruler of our craft and the traditional ruler is Mercury.

  • During transits to sensitive planets and chart points in your natal chart external changes may occur to alter your life path.
  • When you experience secondary progressions to sensitive planets and chart points is may be a time when internal changes are likely to develop to alter your karmic direction.

The above two points, of transits and secondary progressions to your natal chart, can suggest times in your life when astrology will begin to loom large. The more forecast triggers that happen at once, the more likely it will be.

Uranus

As the modern ruler of astrology and astrologers Uranus is a strong indicator for an astrologer if it is conjoined your ascendant, Sun, Midheaven or Mercury or, if Uranus is the morning planet where it suggests your vocation. There are many instances where Uranus aspects the oriental planet in well-known astrologer’s charts.

All natal aspects to your Uranus will modify the type of astrologer you are likely to become. Uranus conjunctions are the strongest indicators. When your natal Uranus is stimulated by progressions from the Sun, Mercury, Ascendant or Midheaven an interest in astrology will probably develop.

Transiting Uranus Aspects to Mercury

The traditional ruler of astrology and astrologers is Mercury the planet of information gathering and dispersal and of scribing the events of the day. When your natal Mercury receives aspects from transiting Uranus astrology becomes an interest.

Jupiter

As the philosopher and teacher, Jupiter often conjoins, squares or opposes the Sun or Uranus in an astrologer’s natal chart. It also frequently contacts Mercury, the Ascendant or Midheaven.

  

Aspects to Jupiter

When natal Jupiter is stimulated by transiting Uranus or progressed Mercury it may spark an interest and you will seek astrological knowledge

Uranus’ Sign: Aquarius on Angles

Aquarius on the first house cusp shows a personal interest in astrology. On the Midheaven the water bearer indicates that a business can be made from astrology.

When your secondary progressed or solar arc directed ascendant or Midheaven enters Aquarius the focus of your life will shift. This change alone will not confirm astrology, but it will if supported by other indicators.

  

Uranus as a Career Indicator for an Astrologer

Many factors contribute to an interest in astrology. If you take your passion for astrology a step further, it makes sense to look at the career indicators for an astrologer in your chart. This can guide you towards fulfilling the potential shown by your natal placements.

If you live in tune with your natal chart, you are more likely to be satisfied with your life and you can more readily be the type of astrologer your chart suggests. This is in contrast to striving to be an astrologer which you think you should be, by attempting to emulate those around you.

Uranus Complex

The nature of your natal chart can suggest the type of astrologer you are. Again, we look at your natal Uranus and its condition to see how astrology may manifest in your life.

Your Uranus complex is all the information we can gather about Uranus in your chart. We look at Uranus’ house, sign, aspects, direction, dipositor, house ruler, sign rulers and any other chart details.

  

Uranus’ Position

Whether Uranus is the handle of a bucket, in a Guquelin sector, most elevated or the morning planet will show the prominence that Uranus has in your chart and thus how astrology has status in your life.

uranus

Uranus Sign Placement

Uranus spends around seven years in each zodiac sign in turn and it can be considered as a “generational” placement. Uranus by sign is not particularly useful in finding the message about your astrological direction.

Uranus in Aries

This sign above the others tends toward you being an astrological entrepreneur. Running a one man (or woman) show comes naturally and you can strike out on your own early on in your career.

This position indicates you will be good at risk astrology such as the stock market and day-trading astrology.

Uranus in Virgo

Uranus in Virgo supports critical astrology and the detailed analysis of charts which can lead to too much time being spent on chart preparation and an inability to actually read for others. The constant revisions and may cause hesitation in getting an astrology business going.

Uranus in Libra

If you have Uranus in Libra, you will do astrology best with a partner. Not necessarily a personal partner but a business partner as a team of two. You need someone to bounce ideas and reading interpretations off before going public. It may even be that you both do the consultations, alternating with being the receptionist and then the chart reader. Taking it in turns.

Uranus in Scorpio

With Uranus in Scorpio you want to know how astrology works and have the desire to interpret the lives of others and this is very good for an astrology business. Spend time preparing your business strategy and keep it low key to succeed. Discretion is everything for Uranus in Scorpio.

Uranus in Sagittarius

Astrologers with Uranus in Sagittarius can be well travelled and lecture around the world. If you belong to this group, you are good at spreading the message of astrology and teaching others how to develop a personal journey and life-path with your astrological insights.

Uranus in Capricorn

You can get a professional astrology business going as soon as you like. Do not get bogged down in the red tape of the business side but set it up properly. Start working towards a solid client base and watch your robust reputation bring clients to you. With this placement you can build a business that other astrologers aspire towards and want to emulate.

Uranus in Aquarius

Astrology for all is the way to go when Uranus is in its own sign. You will strive to provide astrological understanding for everyone and as such may not consult in the strictest meaning of the word. You are better in commune type settings by spreading the word to many.

Uranus in Pisces

There can be a delicate touch to your astrology business when Uranus is in Pisces. Here you want to make sure your client fully understands what you have said in your reading and you may spend too much time with each client to make it a viable business.

Uranus’ House

Your chart hints at where you can be an astrologer by the house placement of your Uranus. As an astrologer you may need to do many things (as all micro-business people have to), but the house that Uranus tenants suggests the strengths that you have for expressing astrology through your natal Uranus.

Uranus in the First House

This placement does incline towards someone who can say “I am an astrologer” and they may assert this early on in the career.

Uranus in the Second House

Uranus in the second house suggests that you can earn money from astrology and have an income from astrology.

Uranus in the Third House

This is good for astrology teachers. You can set up class structures, learning syllabi and even start an astrology school.

Uranus in the Fourth House

A classic sign for a home based astrologer at the kitchen table. Perhaps moving into the basement or simply having a home/office for your astrology will appeal.

Uranus in the Fifth House

This person is good at party astrology, either using astrology as pure entertainment as in “book me for your event” or in a Tupperware style “party” where friends get together for a fun afternoon or evening.

Uranus in the Sixth House

With this Uranus placement you can make astrology your job and you will spend time in the daily ritual that an astrology business entails. To keep records and book clients will be a breeze.

Uranus in the Seventh House

Here Uranus inclines the person to do couples astrology or wedding electional astrology. Either way working with two people through their astrology will be a good fit if this is your Uranus house.

Uranus in the Eighth House

Exploring the deep psychological issues and traumas of life will be your forte with this Uranus house placement. You will be good a private sessions that bring your clients hidden angsts to light.

Uranus in the Ninth House

To teach others and lecture will be good for this placement of Uranus. Here there may be continual learning and exploration of astrology as a philosophy. You are likely to write and publish a book or books and papers on your astrological understanding.

Uranus in the Tenth House

This is the classic house placement to run an astrology business. You can achieve good success with astrology and become well known as an astrologer.

Uranus in the Eleventh House

This placement suggest that you will be good in group work perhaps in your local astrology gathering or by setting up Meetup and get-togethers for other astrologers. This placement suggests you can collaborate with small groups in your astrology business.

Uranus in the Twelfth House

This placement does support research astrology and private sessions. You may not wish to broadcast that you do astrology and keep a low profile.

Uranus Aspects

All aspects to Uranus will indicate the type of astrology that you can do and will be good at. These aspects can also show where you will be challenged and tested in your business. Any planet in aspect to Uranus suggests how you do (and can) use Uranus, and therefore astrology, in your life. Consider the aspect itself and only look at the Ptolemaic aspects of conjunction, sextile, square, trine and opposition. Ignore minor or lesser used aspects with the exception of the quintile.

Uranus Conjunctions

Planets conjoined Uranus can suggest the true nature of your astrology interest. Any planet in this position will influence your astrology and shows what excites you about astrology.

Uranus Sextiles

Any planet sextile Uranus shows your latent talents in astrology in the nature of the planet making the sixty degree aspect. Pay attention to any sextiles as they indicate where you will be good and gifted.

Uranus Squares

Squares to Uranus indicate that you have to overcome astrological issues in the nature of the planet. You may be challenged by the planet and its meaning in your astrological beliefs or have to work through what the planet means in your business. This can suggest your clients are tense.

Uranus Trines

Planets trine Uranus indicate that you will be very good at the things shown by the trining planet. Your astrological business can benefit if you embrace what the planet in trine suggests.

  

  

Uranus Oppositions

Planets which oppose your Uranus can point to obstacles that you have to overcome in order to get your astrology business going. These issues could be regulatory (that is in the registering of your business) or just show the type of person whom you will attract to your practice.

Uranus Quintiles

Planets in a quintile aspect to your Uranus show where you have astrological creativity and genius. This will be expressed by the planet making the quintile, its nature and condition. Any planet quintile Uranus is indicative of how you will shine in astrology and you would do well to make a careful assessment of this planet.

Richard-idemon-birth-chart-jupiter-square-uranus

  

Uranus’ Direction

in a natal chart Uranus is either direct, stationary or retrograde.

Uranus Direct

When Uranus is direct it is good for an astrology practice and the development of it as a part of your life. You can move forward at a regular and steady pace. You will gain and grow an astrology business on a steady trajectory throughout your life. Perhaps you will add to your abilities and take further courses yourself to develop a deeper astrology knowledge.

Uranus Stationary

Stationary Definition

A stationary planet is any planet which is within 0°10′ orb of the actual station position. Solar Fire will flag stationary planets with an “S” in the chart.

Stationary Retrograde or Direct

When Uranus is stationary in the natal chart you need to check if it is about to go direct or retrograde. Uranus in this position offers a strong presence for astrology where you really spend time to fully know your craft before being able to move on which usually happens later in life.

Uranus Retrograde

If Uranus is retrograde in your natal chart it suggests a slower or longer lead-up time to get going in a professional astrological career. This placement of Uranus inclines you to review and ponder your basic knowledge base (planets, signs, houses and aspects) for longer, before you feel confident. It is almost as if you are hesitant to go professional. If this is the case, it is best for you to take formal classes in astrology and gain astrological certification, which will provide you with the confidence to move up a level.

VENUS Conjoined MARS: Astrology Aspects Series

VENUS Conjoined MARS: Astrology Aspects Series

  

Guest author: Arwynne O’Neill  –   Published: February 2024

Today we’re going to be talking about an aspect that’s coming up on February 22, 2024. Mars and Venus are going to be conjunct in Aquarius at 9°.

Venus Conjoined Mars in Transit

This aspect occurs once a year. Since both Venus and Mars move pretty quickly, we’ll only feel the effects around this date, but we can expect to feel a heightened sense of excitement in relationships because both Venus and Mars are relationship planets. Aquarius is a bit more cold, detached and intellectual as an air sign, so it’s not going to be super fireworksy. That being said, it’s probably a great time to get to know somebody new or to reconnect with a partner with whom you share common interests and do something intellectually stimulating together.

Venus Conjoined Mars in the Natal Chart

People with Venus conjunct Mars are described as temperamental and competitive, with an independent, adventurous streak. Often in childhood they feel more connected to the parent of the opposite sex and this is because the blending of male and female energies is heightened when Venus is conjunct Mars, especially when it’s in an air sign like Aquarius where it can be more remote and unconventional then it would be in a different sign.

Depending on how tight the conjunction is, either Venus or Mars might be stronger in the chart. So you want to look at other aspects those planets make. If it’s a tight conjunction, they will act as one super-planet. Any aspects that happen to one will happen to the other and any transits from other planets will affect both Venus and Mars at the same time. If it’s a wider conjunction, say five degrees or more, one of the planets might dominate. For example, Venus might also be opposite Uranus, but not Mars, which would give a very different flavor and add a touch of unexpected, disruptive energy to the personality.

Sexual relationships always play an important part when Venus and Mars are conjunct and these people can be somewhat hedonistic, temperamental and inconsiderate of others in their pursuits of pleasure or their own self-interest in a relationship.

In the excellent book “Aspects in Astrology: A Comprehensive Guide to Interpretation,” Sue Tompkins gives some key phrases for Venus-Mars aspects. They are characterized as the romantic adventurer, love and competition, romantic triangles, sexual love, assertion and compromise, putting energy into beauty, and fighting for money.

She says these people radiate personality and Mars gives vigor to Venus, while Venus softens Mars in the chart, regardless of what sign they’re in. This is a highly creative combination and depending on what sign it’s in, that can indicate how their creativity plays out. She gives the example of Venus and Mars in Taurus being interested in fabrics and textiles, and a talent for working with their hands. Presumably Aquarius would suggest a more intellectual, technological or even abstract and mathematical or digital creativity.

She also stresses the competitive nature of this aspect and says there is frequently a love for or pursuit of money and an appreciation for the finer things, and an enhanced ambition for acquisition.

Venus-conjoined-mars-chart

Venus in Aquarius

Steven Arroyo, in “Person to Person Astrology,” describes Venus in Aquarius as expressing affection freely, unconventionally, flirtatiously, humorously and experimentally. They are individualistic, detached and rebellious. They love exchanging theories and ideas and need to be actively social with many people in order to give fully of their emotional nature.

  

  

Mars in Aquarius

These people assert themselves intelligently, individualistically, eccentrically and independently. Achievement of goals can be thwarted by rebelliousness but their revolutionizing urges can be channeled into creative innovations. Aquarius is one of the most loyal signs but they also need to be intellectually stimulated in order to stay interested in anything, relationships included. If they lose interest they’re more likely to become emotionally detatched than to actually be unfaithful.

SUN Conjoined SATURN: Astrology Aspects Series

SUN Conjoined SATURN: Astrology Aspects Series

Guest writer: Arwynne O’Neill   –   Published: February 2024

Sun Conjunct Saturn

The Sun and Saturn will be conjunct at 9° Pisces on February 28, 2024. This is an aspect that occurs once a year since the Sun goes through each sign for one month, and Saturn has a 30-year orbit so it spends about two and a half years in each sign, give or take a couple of retrograde periods. Dates for the last 80 years are listed below so you can find your Saturn placement if you don’t know it.

This is a hard-working and somewhat somber transit but it can also be very rewarding if you’ve been working hard. This can be a time when your hard work pays off, where you can achieve long-term goals or prove yourself to others through determined effort. On the negative side, you might find that your desire to assert your individuality or autonomy could be hindered or limited by this transit of Saturn.

 

sun-conjoined-saturn-chart

Sun conjunct Saturn in the natal chart

This is pretty universally described as a challenging aspect to have in childhood. Most of the books describe this as an aspect of painful self-awareness, pessimism and potential depression. A difficult childhood with possibly harsh, disciplinarian parents or very conservative. Maybe the child had to work very hard, either in school or by actually joining the workforce at an early age. They’re often very serious or even melancholy and emotionally withdrawn. The conjunction in Pisces would certainly amplify that emotional melancholy and depressive nature.

Sue Tompkins, in her wonderful book “Aspects in Astrology,” says this aspect is characterized by self-denial, self-discipline, self-control, self-defense. Other keywords are the importance of authority, illumination of fears and the importance of time because of course Saturn is the planet of time, and the awareness of restrictions and limitations.

She goes on to say when Saturn touches any planet in the natal chart, the person tends to crave the things that planet represents, and when it’s the Sun, people with this aspect yearn to be considered important because they believe or fear that they’re really insignificant, and those feelings start in early childhood. Sun-Saturn children often do not feel a strong sense of their own importance; for some reason they feel their uniqueness and individuality were not recognized, reinforced or accepted. Their tough exterior can mask a desperately sensitive inner life, which may express itself in long-form creative writing, world-building or caring professions, especially those that are emotionally challenging for others. They may be excellent helpers and healers but not particularly nurturing one-on-one.

In adulthood, this aspect is described as conservative, disciplined, ambitious, solitary, hard-working, and often exhibiting a dark sense of humor. They can be trustworthy, good mentors, dependable and often very successful in the long term. Someone you want on your side in the zombie apocalypse or tax season!

They can often become exhibitionists or obsessed with their self-importance because of this perceived repression. So what may start out as an inferiority complex can go to the other extreme where they have a grandiose sense of their own importance in adulthood because they’ve had to carve their personality out of the rough rocks of austerity.

Saturn in Pisces keywords

Spiritual dedication, deep emotions or being an emotional “rock,” limiting beliefs, conservatism or austerity, dogmatism, transformation through hard work, old souls.

Online Astrology Reading

Online Astrology Reading

Online Astrology Reading

PLEASE NOTE, REQUESTS MADE NOW WILL ONLY BE PROCESSED IN NOVEMBER 2024.

WE HAVE A HUGE AMOUNT OF REQUESTS.

Inspiration

Many people in my audience have burning questions. Where to start? How do you start? How would you do a consultation?

I feel that being able to show different interpretations of charts for real people would be a valuable insight for aspiring astrologist all those who want to get a bit more information about where to start with chart readings.

I see these online astrology readings as a teaching moment for upcoming astrologers.

How to Get Your Online Astrology Reading

This year I am transitioning the way I do astrological consultations. As another option to in person one-on-one readings, I now offer to interpret your chart and publish the interpretation on my podcast. This is not an in-person reading. These will be known as Online Astrology Readings.

  

    

Public Domain

The online astrology readings will be published in the public domain for everyone to hear and see. Either on the Starzology Astrology Podcast or YouTube channel or both.

A copy of your chart will be on the blog post associated with the reading. Your real name will not be displayed.

  

Timing

From your initial request to the episode being published, will take about four to six weeks. It will depend on just how busy I am. I frequently discuss charts with my co-host Arwynne as well. It just depends.

I record my podcast episodes ahead of time and schedule them in. There is a time delay between creating the recording of the reading and the actual publication going live.

If you would like to request an online astrology reading. You may use this Google form.

  

Privacy and Pseudonym

Although I will require your real name to cast the actual birth chart, I am very happy to offer you the option to take a pseudonym, or fantasy name, so that your real name is not in the public domain. This is to protect your privacy.

I would imagine people will come along with pseudonym names like Lady Marmalade, Cheeky Capricorn and Mr. Big Stuff or something like that.

I am quite happy to use a pseudonym for you and not mention your real name when I am actually doing the consultation as I record it. 

  

Podcast and YouTube

I anticipate that the online astrology readings will go on to the Starzology Astrology Podcast. But it also occurs to me that I could present these also on the Starzology YouTube channel as how to do interpretations.

Midpoint Composite Charts

Podcast Episode

Listen to our podcast episode on Composite Midpoint Charts where Alison and Arwynne discuss this topic. The composite chart we chat about is shown below.

midpoint-composite-chart

Composite Midpoint Charts: Overview

Midpoints

Two points on a circle will generate two midpoints, the nearer midpoint and the farther midpoint.

midpoint-diagram

Natal Midpoints

A natal midpoint is the point between two planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury etc.) or chart points (Ascendant or North Node, etc.). For example, in a natal chart you can calculate the midpoint between the Ascendant and the Midheaven.

Composite Midpoints

Composite midpoints are formed by the midpoint of the same planet from two (or more) different charts.

Nearer Midpoint

If the first person’s natal Sun is at 5° Libra and the second person’s natal Sun is at 5° Leo, then the composite Sun will be at 5° Virgo. There is also a midpoint at 5° Pisces, but we always use the nearer midpoint.

Computer Generated Composite Midpoint Charts

Solar fire and Astro Gold will calculate composite midpoint charts for you. However, it is important to check the placements of the planets and aspects to the angles as they are sometimes shown as the opposite to that which you would expect.

zodiac-degrees

How to Calculate a Composite Midpoint Chart Computer Calculations

Astro Gold and Solar fire will calculate a composite midpoint chart for you. However, as an Aspiring Astrologer you ned to know how to do it manually. Here is the sequence to manually calculate a composite midpoint chart for two people..

House Cusps in a Composite Chart

The composite Ascendant and the house cusps are calculated differently. Initially we find the Midheaven midpoint and then back calculate the house cusps in the Table of Houses for the location that the relationship is taking place. Unless you are doing manual calculations, the computer will take care of this.

Calculating the Composite Planets

Take both persons Sun’s longitude position and find the midpoint between the two Suns. Place that new composite Sun in the correct position in the composite chart.

midpoint-calculation

Composite Midpoints Special Considerations Chart Calculation Defaults

It is important to measure apples to apples and not apples to oranges. Before you create a midpoint, composite chart make sure both natal charts are cast the same way and they are set for:

  • The same zodiac(tropical or sidereal
  • The same house system (usually Placidus)
  • The same node calculation (true or mean)

When the Natal Planets are Opposite

When natal planets are more than 150° apart between the two charts, you may want to consider both composite planetary positions, that is the nearer and the farther midpoint.

Planets in Signs in Composite Charts

Do not give much value to the sign positions of the planets in the composite charts. It is more useful to consider the planetary house positions, aspects and aspect patterns when interpreting these charts.

Composite Retrograde Planets

One person’s natal chart could have a direct Jupiter. and another person’s natal chart could have a retrograde Jupiter. We usually ignore retrograde motion when using composite charts.

Group Composite Charts

Although composite charts are usually done for a couple, you can cast a composite chart for three or more people. In group charts you see the dynamic of the group or unit.

Example 1

You may cast a composite chart for you and your partner who live in your home. When Granny decides to move in, you can cast the new composite chart with three natal charts to see how things will improve or deteriorate as a third person is added to the home.

Example 2

You may consider creating a four-way partnership at work, or perhaps for a music band. You can cast the composite chart for all four potential members to see how the partnership will change as more people are added.

In group composite charts look to the major aspect patterns that drive the chart for quick information.

Composite Chart Inner Planet Paradox

One paradox in composite planetary position calculations is that the composite Mercury or Venus can sometimes end up on the other side of the chart to the Sun.

This paradox can cause for example, the incorrect aspects of:

  • Sun opposition Mercury.
  • Sun opposition Venus.
  • Mercury opposition Venus.

The suggested solution to this paradox is to take the composite Sun’s position (the nearer midpoint) and, if the inner planets are on the wrong side of the chart, move the inner planets directly opposite the calculated composite Mercury and Venus position (the farther midpoint), and thus near the Sun’s position.

The Sun always is the magnet for Venus and Mercury.

inner-planet-paradox-example-chart

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’ Compoiste Midpoint Chart

Venus’ position at 25°48′ Libra is the nearer midpoint. Use the futher midpoint for Venus at 25°48′ Aries. Angelina’s natal Venus is at 28°09′ Cancer and Brad’s natal Venus is at 23°28′ Capricorn. They are in opposite signs and are in fact nearly opposite each other.

brad-pitt-birth-chart

The Angles in the Composite Chart

Remember the composite Midheaven and composite IC are both midpoints generated from the two individual charts. Whereas the composite Ascendant/Descendant axis is back calculated from the Midheaven position in the Table of Houses. This indicates that the composite Ascendant is not as important as in natal astrology and one should focus on the condition of the MC/IC angles.

Composite Ascendant

  • Indicates the “face” of the pair shown to the world.
  • Suggests the image they would like to project as a couple.

Composite Descendant

  • Shows the true nature of the relationship.
  • Indicates what brought them together in the first place.

  • Suggests the foundations of the relationship.

Composite Charts Interpretation Sequence

Remember the composite chart shows the relationship and not the individuals that formed it. You always need to have interpreted the two natal charts first to glean what each individual wants in a relationship and who they hope to attract.

In composite charts consider:

  • Any house emphasis
  • The luminaries houses
  • The luminaries aspects
  • Any planets conjunct the angles
  • Venus and Mars’ house positions and aspects
  • Any 7th house planets
  • Saturn by house and aspects
  • The other planet’s houses
  • The other planet’s aspects
  • The aspect patterns

Forecasting with a Composite Chart

The usual forecasting techniques of transits, secondary progressions and solar arc directions can be applied to a composite chart. It is not recommended to produce a solar return chart for a composite chart as the Sun’s position in the zodiac is already an extrapolated position. However, you may certainly attempt some research in this regard.

The Composite Vertex

The vertex in composite charts shows the sphere of experience that will be most significant for the couple, and the destiny of the relationship and to where the relationship is eventually going. We always need to consider that any relationship may have another purpose than that which we would normally expect. For example, two people who are married may not love each other anymore but both find solace or friendship within the actual relationship.

What to look for in the composite vertex:

  • A well placed vertex in the composite chart indicates this relationship is having a great effect on the couple and them as individuals.
  • Conjunctions and oppositions need careful consideration.
  • Use a 2° orb.
  • Do not consider the vertex house position heavily. Remember in a natal chart the vertex is typically only found in the 5th, 6th 7th and 8th houses.

Aspiring Astrologer Activity

Using the composite midpoint chart between yourself and your partner:

  • Determine if the inner planet paradox in present in this composite chart. If so, what will you do?
  • List the house positions of the composite planets (not signs).
  • Determine the Ptolemaic aspects in the compositechart.
  • Find any composite major aspect patterns (stellium, grand trine, grand cross, T-Square, Thor’s hammer, yod, cross of David, mini grand trine or mystic rectangle) and write a short interpretation for the pattern. (100 words)
  • Find the most emphasized composite house and briefly comment on the tenants and house meaning in regard to the relationship. (100 words)
  • Note if the emphasized composite house echoes the same houses in the two natal charts or if this a new emphasized house only showing in the relationship and comment. (50 words)
  • In a few sentences describe the composite chart ruler complex exploring the house (not the sign), essential dignity and if it is most elevated, oriental or the almuten and consider all the aspects. (100 words)
  • Note your feelings about this composite chart and how it describes the relationship between you and your partner. (50 words)

Extend Yourself

As an Aspiring Astrologer, to really get to grips with the principles of midpoint composite charts, you can extend yourself.

  • Cast a couple’s two natal charts and only by looking (no arithmetic calculations) decide which sign (and maybe degree) their composite planets will be. Check yourself against the computer calculations.
  • Cast the composite chart for your parents by hand. Do the manual calculations (arithmetic on paper) to see what you can create, then check your manual hand drawn chart against the computer results.
  • Cast a chart for three people that you know by hand. You could use your family member’s natal charts. See what happens to the composite chart as one person is added (when granny moves in) or taken away (when a young adult finally leaves home).

Venus square Chiron

On February 5, 2024, Venus squares Chiron. Venus is going to be at 16° Capricorn and Chiron is at 16° Aries so this is a square in the cardinal signs.

We all pretty much know what Venus means; it’s the goddess of love, it’s about relationships, it’s about beauty, and it’s also about money. But fewer people know what Chiron is.

 

 

Listen to podcast episode >>> Venus Square Chiron

Chiron

Chiron was a centaur in Greek mythology and in astrology it represents the wounded healer. So wherever you have Chiron in your chart — its sign placement and the house it’s in — is where you may experience a psychological wound that enables you to grow stronger in whatever area it symbolizes, and help others because of the pain that you’ve overcome in your own life.

We’ve done an entire episode on Chiron in Aries because that’s where I have Chiron. I am going to be having my Chiron return over the next year or so, which is an aspect everybody has around the age of 50. So if you want to know more about Chiron in Aries, you should definitely listen to that episode.

Listen >>> Chiron Returns

The Transit

When we have Venus Square Chiron, this can create a lot of inner tension that can be really painful for people. It can make you feel like you’re being emotionally abused, bullied or taken advantage of. It can make you feel trapped in your relationships or like you are being sabotaged. You can feel as though you want to help people but they just lash out at you and there can be a lot of self-criticism and overstepping of boundaries with this aspect.

If you’re in a relationship that has a lot of emotional conflict it could become heightened around this time, and if you are in a relationship where one of you has set yourself up as sort of the protector or the savior of the other, things could really become tense at this time.

Read more >>> Venus

Venus square Chiron in the Birth Chart

In the natal chart this aspect can create a lot of tension within a person’s relationships. They may continually attract or be attracted to people who are bad for them, emotionally damaged, emotionally unavailable and this can really hurt their self-esteem in a number of ways.

This is often because they think they can heal or save the other person and can they end up getting dragged down Into the depths themselves. They often romanticize romantic pain, which is also great for art but not a great approach to relationships in general, and they can feel inadequate, like they deserve criticism, or they can become addicted to emotional pain in relationships, at sort of the most extreme end of the spectrum.

Of course the reason we’re focusing on the negative is because with the square aspect you are really going to see more of the sort of the negative side than if they had, for example, Venus trine or sextile Chiron, which maybe would make them a great nurse or caregiver or something.

 

Artistic Outlets

Since Venus rules artistic pursuits, a lot of that pain can be used to create amazing music and art, which we often see with harsh Venus aspects but that doesn’t make it any more fun for the person with the aspect. They can be very sensitive to the opinions of others and they can go overboard in analyzing every little detail of their relationships, either criticizing the other person or trying to save the other person, or becoming enmeshed in bad habits and dangerous, toxic behaviors because they fall in love with either the wrong person or they find themselves attracted to that dark side.

 

Celebrities with Venus square Chiron

Angelina Jolie, Leonard Cohen, Arthur Rimbaud, Sinead O’Connor, George Michael, Russell Brand, Courtney Love, Joe Biden, Stanley Kubrick, Judy Garland, Chris Cornell, Bill Murray, Leo Tolstoy and Val Kilmer.

Author: Arwynne O’Neill – Published January 2024

 

Sun Conjunct Pluto

On January 20th, 2024 the Sun is going to be conjunct Pluto at 29° Capricorn. This is the last major aspect that Pluto makes in Capricorn as the Sun and Pluto both move into Aquarius the next day. Pluto’s final transit into Aquarius comes in November, after a brief retrograde this fall.

So we’re going to talk a bit about what you can expect from this transit, then what it looks like in your natal chart and then we’ll have some celebrity examples.

 

Listen to episode >>> Sun Conjunct Pluto

   

The Sun Conjunct Pluto in Transit

This transit happens once a year, so next time the Sun and Pluto are conjunct in January 2025, they’ll be in Aquarius.

As we’ve said before, anytime Pluto connects with a personal planet and the Sun is about as personal as it gets, we can expect to feel its effects. They won’t really not long lasting because the sun moves pretty quickly, but it’s about a day or so. Of course, if you have the sun in Capricorn you will have been experiencing the Pluto conjunction for a while and if you have it at 29° Capricorn that aspect will be exact on January 20, so all of this will apply to you in a big way.

The Sun conjunct Pluto in transit can dramatically increase your desire for power and your ability to influence outcomes in your life. You may feel this heightened intensity within yourself or you could observe it around you, and it could lead to power struggles. You may become controlling and manipulative towards other people or you may begin to feel paranoid, as if hidden enemies were plotting against you, but this is probably not how most people will experience this transit.

A more productive use of these energies would be conducting research and investigatimg mysteries or deep instrospection. You may be able to get to the bottom of psychological issues at this time because this transit can bring about the sort of obsessive behavior that’s obviously beneficial if you’re investigating anything.

Some dramatic or upsetting events may occur, especially involving power struggles and reversals of fortune, the mighty being brought down by hidden secrets coming to light or abuses of power being exposed.

In your life this would be a good time to excavate, investigate, and eliminate… That could be as simple as de-cluttering, getting rid of anything that’s getting in your way and no longer serving you, and this could include relationships or work that’s unfulfilling and anything else that you have outgrown and that’s holding you back. You have access to extra reserves of power at this time that you should try to make use of, in the form of both willpower and the will to power.

The Sun Conjunct Pluto in the Birth Chart

People with the Sun conjunct Pluto in their charts can be profoundly intense people, they can wield great power and influence but they could also be subject to powerful forces and those forces can either destroy them or make them stronger. They can be incredibly ambitious people with a great deal of willpower and a probing, piercing nature that can come across as overbearing.

They can read people very well and get to the bottom of matters because they are excellent researchers they have very political minds, so they can be very effective leaders. They value their privacy, and they can even come across as mysterious or paranoid. They can also get embroiled in decadent, self-destructive behaviors, ruthless power struggles and manipulation of others. They are often attracted to the dark side, or the Underworld, which may include addictions, criminal activities, etc. But they can also become great investigators or go up against the powers that be and bring about change from revolutionary or investigative activities.

Celebrities and Historical Figures with the Sun Conjunct Pluto

And you can really see this in some of our celebrity examples. Artists with this aspect are often instrumental in creating art, movies and literature exploring the relationship between power and the powerless.

Celebrities with Sun conjunct Pluto:

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Martha Stewart, Steve Wozniak, Mick Jagger, Emmet Till, Alan Turing, Hunter S. Thompson, Hulk Hogan, Lance Armstrong, Victor Hugo, Charlie Sheen, Tim Burton, Jada Pinkett Smith and Emperor Nero.

Online Course (Coming Soon)

Online Course (Coming Soon)

Original post by: Alison Price – Published: January 2024

   

Online Astrology Course: Coming This Year

I am passionate about astrology. It is my life’s focus, apart from my family, friends and art and crafts, okay and gardening when I get a moment. Astrology is my one true love. I live and breathe it.

Teaching Astrology

You may know that I’ve been teaching astrology for many years. I started at my dining room table way back in the 80s and have kept on teaching since then. From 2003 to 2023 I taught weekly private classes in my home, in public classes in coffee shops and more recently over Zoom. I was also active in my local astrology groups as President and Newsletter Editor for over a decade. I presented lectures at astrology conferences here in Canada and in the US.

I even offered an annual Summer Astrology Event with my friend Toby for six years (psst… that may be coming back, but we’ll see). I also created a full astrology weekend event in Kelowna with Norma. I created the Starzology YouTube channel and was busily focused with that for over three years. There was always something astro-themed going on. Mars in Virgo, what can I say?

Class Notes

In 2022, I compiled all my individually created, drawn and written class notes into a book The Aspiring Astrologer: 52 Self-paced Astrology Lessons available on Amazon. This turned into a hefty book. I have now discovered that it is not available worldwide as I had been let to believe. Anyway…

In 2023, I launched the Starzology Astrology Podcast, which began as a once-a-week program to start with. It quickly morphed into a twice weekly episodes (and minisodes – little episodes) with my friend and astrologer Arwynne. My podcast continues to be lots of fun. It’s a bit like my soapbox really.

Online Course Development

Here’s the good news. During 2024, I am creating an astrology course that answers the most common question I receive and which I know many of you are struggling with namely. “Where to start with chart reading?”

I get students who have been doing astrology for ten years and need help. I get students who want to hone into what is important and learn to weigh the factors in a chart. I get students who have already been through other courses with other teachers and prestigious international institutions who still need help.

Plenty of astrologers with twenty years of experience and vast libraries of astrology books have come through my courses to get the focus that is required when reading a chart. I was being overwhelmed with One-on-one classes as I could only do so many a week. There had to be a better way. This got me thinking…

Who This Course is For

This course is for people who do know a little astrology. I anticipate that you have at least a grasp of the chart at a basic level and know the glyphs. I think you are at the student level in the 5 Levels of Astrologer and you can check that out.

I do not go over every nook and cranny of astrology. Most of my students have a working knowledge of charts, but they want to polish their readings. You may have all the astrology cookbooks, and I hope you do, but the synthesis of chart reading is the critical component often missing.

When is this Online Course Going to be Available?

This course will be available by… Gulp… Okay, I am working on it tirelessly and will get it out asap. I have given myself the provisional date. Why not? It’s a great day for astrology, but the reality may mean it will be later. No matter how long it takes, it will launch this year. I know one great contemporary astrologer who took a whole year to get his course out. Clearly it takes time.

Where is this Online Course

My online course is hosted by Teachable the premium online course host for exceptional customer satisfaction. Teachable is based in the USA.

As you can imagine, I am climbing up a monsterly steep learning curve to navigate all the details that makes this the best platform for hosting my online course.

It’s one thing to know the astrology, it’s another to get it sorted, repackaged and uploaded so it fits seamlessly on their platform.

Beta Testers

I will be requiring beta testers before the course goes live. Beta testers are keen students who pay a nominal fee for the incomplete course. They provide detailed feedback on all aspects of the learning experience. Thus, the payment process is a part of this.

Beta Tester Expectations

Beta testers are required to provide a review, blog, promote and offer feedback about the course after they have worked through it. Or as they are working through it if required. I am anticipating constructive criticism and user experience feedback and a testimonial from beta testers.

Beta testers remain students of the course forever, even when all the bells and whistles are added and the price goes up. If you would like to be considered as a beta tester for my upcoming online course, please add your name to this list.

Pre-Launch Waitlist

The waitlist is for astrologers who wish to take the course at the deeply discounted never-to-be repeated low launch price. Waitlisted people will get information about the ongoing development of the course and may be polled for ideas about what I’ll be adding, or not. I don’t have the full details of the waitlist procedures yet. If you wish to get on the waitlist for this course then please click here to join the waitlist.

When to Go Professional as an Astrologer

When to Go Professional as an Astrologer

The Best Time to Go Professional as an Astrologer

An astrology business usually blossoms when your natal Uranus (astrology) and your Midheaven (going public with a business) are stimulated. This can happens usually by transit, secondary progression or other forecast technique contact.

It can just be on the day you finally ‘get’ astrology, which usually occurs at a transit or progressed contact. If you know the exact day your life changed and started your astrological awakening, write it down in your notebook.

You can answer the following questions and gather the information in your notebook or astrology journal.

Your Uranus Transits

The years when transiting Uranus makes an exact Ptolemaic aspect to your Midheaven are important, but if you can get the dates of the transits three passes, that is very good.

  • When does transiting Uranus conjunct your Midheaven?
  • When does transiting Uranus sextile your Midheaven?
  • When does transiting Uranus square your Midheaven?
  • When does transiting Uranus trine your Midheaven?
  • When transiting Uranus conjoins two other points and planet in your chart it is a good indicator for starting to go pro.
  • When does transiting Uranus conjunct your Midheaven ruler?
  • When does transiting Uranus conjunct your natal Saturn?

Your Solar Return Chart

The year when your solar return Sun falls in the 10th or 6th house of your solar return chart.

  • Which upcoming year is your solar return Sun in the 6th house?
  • Which uncoming year is your solar return Sun in the 10th house?

Your Secondary Progressions

The years when your secondary progressed Moon conjoins your natal Midheaven and passes through your tenth house are good indicators for starting to go professional as an astrologer.

  • Progressed Moon conjunct natal Midheaven.
  • Your progressed New Moon (previous).
  • Your progressed New Moon (next).
  • When does your secondary progressed Uranus station direct?

Your Solar Arc Directions

In solar arc directions the year when your natal Uranus is stimulated by a conjunction from any of; the solar arc Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Midheaven, Ascendant or Midheaven ruler suggest a growing interest in going pro with astrology.

Find the dates when the following occur:

  • Solar arc directed Sun conjunct your natal Uranus.
  • Solar arc directed Mars conjunct your natal Uranus.
  • Solar arc directed Jupiter conjunct your natal Uranus.
  • Solar arc directed Midheaven conjunct your natal Uranus.
  • Solar arc directed Ascendant conjunct your natal Uranus.
  • Solar arc directed Midheaven ruler conjunct natal Uranus.

Planning a Two-Year Window with Mars

Mars is the planet of beginnings, pioneering action, expended effort and it shows where you are happy to burn energy. Mars rules the sign Aries the Ram, which it the first sign of the tropical zodiac, and is the traditional ruler of Scorpio the Scorpion. As the first planet further from the Sun than the Earth, Mars takes about two years to make one complete pass through the zodiac. Because of this orbital period Mars can be used to kick start events and courses of action in your life.

Transiting Mars: Timing is Everything

Having two years to do something may seem a long stretch but if you plan to start a micro-business it can offer a convenient time span. The trick is to begin what you want to do when Mars transits the planet in your chart that rules the activity you want to start.

  • When Mars contacts your Sun, Moon, Uranus, Ascendant or Midheaven directly it may be time.
  • Mars conjoining your natal Sun is good for doing what you want and getting to the heart of the matter.
  • As Mars approaches your natal Moon it suggests active, and not reactive, behavior and you can use this emotionally charged time appropriately for taking the plunge.
  • When Mars nears radix Uranus it can create a spark for astrology and this may be the ideal time to overcome inertia if you have been thinking about an astrology business but not actually done anything about it – yet.
  • If Mars crosses your birth ascendant your personality gets fired up and you display confidence.
  • The red planet crossing your Midheaven indicates it is time to act on your career by taking a stab at competing for the career you want and being in the competition for the glory.

Mars: Close Encounters of the Third Kind

If you are lucky enough to receive a Martian three contact transit (direct, retrograde, direct) to an important natal planet or your Ascendant or Midheaven, it shows the time is ripe to expend the effort required to get that particular project started. Sometimes a Mars transit passes by quietly. If you look ahead and get the important dates in the next two years it can show the best time to launch your astrology career.

The Mars Three Pass Transit

At the first direct transit you may initially be enamored by the idea and inspired. During the retrograde pass doubt can set in about the validity of the venture. Finally, on the last contact your plans should be steaming along and well under way.

 

Aspiring Astrologer Activity

Find the dates when transiting Mars makes these aspects:

  • Transiting Mars conjoins your Sun.
  • Transiting Mars conjoins your Moon.
  • Transiting Mars conjoins your Uranus.
  • Transiting Mars conjoins your Ascendant.
  • Transiting Mars conjoins your Midheaven.

The 5 Levels of Astrologer

The 5 Levels of Astrologer

Your Astrology Business

Amateur versus Professional Astrologer

To go pro, means to become a professional. The difference between an amateur and a professional is that amateurs do not get paid but professionals do get paid.

To change your status as an astrologer from amateur to professional is a huge step and requires adjustment on many levels and particularly mental, financial, psychological and physical levels. This post explores what is required to go pro and how you can reach this status in your astrological career.

The Path to Becoming an Astrologer

Your personal astrological development can take years. You may remain at one stage or level for decades and this happens when life gets in the way. Many people start astrology as adults and may have a day job and other commitments that demand their time and energy. You can always pick up where you left off and continue your journey towards astrology.

The process of becoming an astrologer includes particular milestones. Some are based on your knowledge of astrology some are mental states that change, and others are professional decision you make. I am not saying that aspiring to become master astrologer is everyone’s goal, but the process of becoming an astrologer is clear.

    Embracing the Wisdom of Natural Cycles

    As we navigate the transits, it’s essential to approach these natural cycles with a sense of mindfulness and openness. Just as the planets follow their orbits with purpose, we too can align our intentions with the rhythm of the cosmos. Creative endeavors, personal growth, and spiritual exploration can be enhanced by attuning ourselves to the energies present during specific celestial alignments.

    Conclusion

    In the universe, the Sun, Moon, and planets continue a cosmic dance. As a professional astrologer with a keen interest in mindfulness and creativity, I believe that to embrace these natural cycles brings an opportunity for self-discovery and inspiration.

    Journey forward with an open heart and a keen awareness of the celestial rhythms that surround us.

    Embarking on a journey to create astrology-themed art opens up a world of possibilities for self-expression and creativity. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting, the cosmos can serve as an abundant source of inspiration.

    In this article, I’ll explore how to infuse your artwork with the magic of the stars, bringing your astrological insights to life on canvas. I’ve always like to live my life in full color. I’m not one to hang about in faded hues or 50 shades of grey. Here is a collection of all the Astro Art on my website. I hope you enjoy them.

    Connect with Astrological Concepts

    Before you dive into your artistic process, take some time to immerse yourself in the rich symbolism of astrology. Explore zodiac signs, planets, houses, and astrological elements.

    Consider the unique qualities associated with each astrological element—fire, earth, air, and water—and how they can be represented in your artwork.

     

    Choose Your Medium

    Astrology-themed art can take many forms, from paintings and drawings to digital art, collages, or even sculptures. Select a medium that resonates with you and allows you to express your ideas most effectively.

    Watercolors might capture the ethereal nature of the stars, while digital art can provide a modern twist to traditional astrological symbolism.

    Your Astrology Journal

    Your astrology journal is a great place to start with astro art. There are many pages so you have lots of opportunity to do some astro art. I personally started using astro journals a few years ago and now I have a collection of full color books and grimoires with all of my astro artwork ideas.

    Select Colors Mindfully

    Colors play a crucial role in conveying the energy of astrological signs. For instance, fiery reds and oranges might be associated with Aries, while earthy tones like greens and browns can represent Taurus. Be mindful of the emotional impact colors can have and choose a palette that aligns with the essence of your astrological theme.

     

    Embrace Symbolism

    Incorporate astrological symbols into your artwork to add layers of meaning. Zodiac glyphs, planetary symbols, and constellations can serve as powerful visual elements.

    Experiment with ways to integrate these symbols seamlessly, whether as focal points or subtle details woven into the background.

     

    Tell a Story with Constellations

    Celestial storytelling can be a fun aspect of astrology-themed art. Consider creating constellations that tell a narrative or reflect personal experiences. Connect the dots between stars, allowing your viewers to interpret their own stories within the cosmic patterns you’ve crafted.

     

    Infuse Personal Insights

    As a professional astrologer, bring your unique insights and interpretations into your artwork. Consider how specific astrological themes relate to your own experiences or the experiences of those around you. This personal touch can make your art not only visually appealing but also deeply meaningful.

     

    Promote Mindfulness through Creation

    Engage in the process of creating astrology-themed art with mindfulness. Allow each stroke or digital brushstroke to be deliberate and intentional. Embrace the meditative quality of art-making.

    Finally

    Creating astrology-themed art is a delightful journey of blending creativity, symbolism, and personal insight. By connecting with astrological concepts, choosing a meaningful medium, and infusing your unique perspective, you can craft art that not only visually captivates but also resonates on a deeper level.

    So, let the stars guide your artistic endeavors, and watch as your creativity unfolds like the cosmic tapestry of the universe.

    How Planets Move

    How Planets Move

    Planet’s Movement

    When you work with transits you pay attention to the planet’s linear movement, direct – retrograde – direct, but there is another component to take into consideration and that is a planet’s speed.

     

    Read more >>> Retrogrades

    Planetary Speed

    Speed is typically calculated by how fast a planet can move each day and there is an average for every planet. If the planet moves more than the average, it is fast and if the speed is less than the average then the planet is slow.

    Often it doesn’t matter to the interpretation, but when we take a broader look, as in a one year forecast, we need to be aware of this. Of the main solar system planets Chiron (which is, according to NASA, actually a comet) has very fast and very slow periods.

    diagram-of-planetary-orbits

    Johannes Kepler

    Kepler’s second law of planetary motion states: A planet sweeps out an equal area in equal time. Simply put the further a planet is from the Sun in its orbit the slower it moves through the zodiac. Most orbits are elliptical (have two foci where one is the Sun) and some distances are more extreme than others.

    For example: Pluto was nearer the Sun during its swift transit through its own sign of Scorpio from 1984-1995 (on and off) for only eleven years.

    Pluto was in Taurus (on and off) during the period 1854-1883 for almost twenty-nine years. Remember during Pluto’s transit of Scorpio it was at times nearer to the Sun than Neptune!

    We also note this phenomenon when the Moon is fast or slow for a while each month.

    Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century, plays a crucial role in the science of celestial mechanics.

    Kepler’s Second Law states that a line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. In simpler terms, as a planet moves along its elliptical orbit, the imaginary line connecting it to the Sun sweeps through the same amount of area in equal time intervals.

    Kepler: Limerick

    Here is my Kepler Limerick which popped into my head one sunny day.

    Now Kepler he had a good thought

    as planetary motion was fraught.

    Each orbit he found

    had swept out equal ground

    and now his second law is taught.

    Why We Care

    Kepler’s Second Law provides a key insight into the dynamics of planetary motion. It shows that a planet adjusts its speed as it orbits the Sun to ensure that the areas it sweeps out in a given time are always equal.

     

    Planets With Eliptical Orbits

    Whilst all planet have eliptical orbits, non are exactly circular, some planets have more pronounced eliptical orbits than others.

    Here are a few planets to take note of:

    Gifts for Your Astrologer

    Introduction

    Not everyone has their own astrologer, but if you happen to have one, consider showing them some appreciation this Christmas. Just like you’d gift your building concierge, your kid’s teacher, or your manicurist, you can also give a thoughtful present to your astrologer.

    Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to receive some heartfelt gifts from my clients. These include a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a potted living herb, homemade cookies presented in a lovely tin, and even some enchanting Hellenistic Myth-themed reading cards from a thoughtful client who brought them back from a trip to Greece.

    Each gesture of kindness from my clients is truly appreciated, and it warms my heart to receive such considerate tokens of gratitude.

    This holiday season, if you have an astrologer who has made a positive impact on your life, taking a moment to express your thanks can be a wonderful way to spread joy and goodwill.

    Whether it’s a small gesture or a heartfelt note, acknowledging the connection you share can make the holiday season even more special for both you and your astrologer.

    Gifts for Your Astrologer

    Say Thank You

    Take a moment to express your gratitude with a heartfelt note. If you’ve experienced one or more readings from your astrologer, consider reaching out to convey your thanks.

    This simple act not only brings a warm and comforting feeling to every dedicated astrologer but also enhances the likelihood of securing an earlier booking or being accommodated at the last minute when you’re known as a kind and thoughtful client.

    In the world of astrology, dealing with demanding clients is not uncommon. By being the client who appreciates and acknowledges their efforts, you effortlessly stand out as the ideal client, creating a positive and harmonious relationship with your astrologer.

    A Glowing Referral

    One of the most meaningful gifts you can offer your astrologer is a positive referral. Share your positive experiences by writing a recommendation for someone else who may become your astrologer’s new client.

    Rest assured, your astrologer will maintain confidentiality and won’t discuss your chart with your friends, and vice versa.

    However, having a personal reference can be invaluable when individuals seek an astrologer for a reading, providing them with the assurance that they are approaching someone recommended by a satisfied previous client.

    Testimonial Note

    Compose a heartfelt testimonial directly addressed to your astrologer. Craft an email expressing your appreciation for their work and grant permission for them to use it.

    This testimonial can be featured on their testimonials page as a genuine reflection of your positive experience with their services.

    Sharing your satisfaction in written form not only acknowledges their expertise but also contributes to building trust and credibility for potential clients exploring their services.

    Read more >>> My Gracious Testimonials

    An Apple Podcast Review

    If you’ve tuned in to multiple episodes of the Starzology Astrology podcast, you might want to consider sharing your thoughts through a five-star review on Apple.

    Your gesture would be truly appreciated. Producing these podcast episodes involves a significant investment of time and effort, and your support means a lot.

    Writing a five-star review on Apple is completely cost-free for you. I emphasize the five-star rating because that’s what we hope for. However, if you’re leaning towards a one-star review due to dissatisfaction, I encourage you to reach out directly to the astrologer to discuss your concerns privately. Publicly sharing a negative review may not be the most constructive way to address any issues you may have.

    Remember the karmic saying, “What goes around comes around.” If you encounter problems with your astrologer, it’s advisable to communicate privately. On the other hand, if you’re eager to express your admiration, crafting a public five-star review on Apple would be a wonderful way to do so.

    If you’re in the mood to leave a five-star review for us, your feedback is more than welcome. Your positive words contribute to the podcast’s growth and are deeply appreciated.

    That’s It

    Your astrologer doesn’t necessarily desire an extravagant gift from you; they don’t require additional possessions. The most valuable gift you can offer, without any cost to you, is the thoughtful gesture of a positive referral or a pleasant review.

    This act of appreciation will leave a lasting impression on your astrologer, and your kindness will be remembered well into the future.

    Wishing you a Happy New Year and expressing gratitude. Thank you.

    Venus Trine Neptune

    Venus Trine Neptune

     
    This is a Guest Post from Arwynne O’Neill, research astrologer and the co-host of the Starzology Astrology podcast.

     

    Venus trine Neptune

    by Arwynne O’Neill

    Today we’re going to be talking about Venus trine Neptune which will be exact on Christmas Day this year, December 25, 2023.

    Venus will be at 25° Scorpio and Neptune will be at 25° Pisces.

    So this is a water trine between Scorpio and Pisces, which has a very flowing, romantic, intense, spiritual sort of energy which is kind of perfect for Christmas because it’s all about this soft, mystical, snowy (if you’re living in the northern hemisphere) sort of feeling.

    It could be great aspect to have around the holiday season because it will create warm, fuzzy feelings between people and smooth out the edges that might otherwise be rough.

    So whether you’re getting together with family, having a romantic dinner with your partner, seeing the kids or bringing together a lot of people who may normally have conflicts throughout the year, this aspect could just smooth all that stuff out and make it a really lovely evening.

    There might be a bit of delusion in that because Neptune is kind of like the old trope of adding Vaseline to the camera lens to smooth out all the wrinkles in an aging actor or actresses’ face, but that’s what Venus-Neptune aspects do brilliantly.

     

    Podcast Episode

    Listen to the full conversation about Venus trine Neptune with Arwynne and Katia on teh Starzology Astrology podcast.

    Venus in Transit

    Venus only takes about 10 to 12 months to move through the entire zodiac and depending on the retrograde periods.

    It can spend as little as two to three weeks in a sign and as many as five months, so its aspects are not uncommon but when it touches an outer planet, I think it’s much more interesting to talk about.

    If it’s in aspect to Uranus, Neptune or Pluto then we definitely want to look at it because the effects will be felt for a couple of days on either side.

    And of course it’s super interesting when someone has this or any Venus aspect to an outer planet in their birth chart.

    Some keywords for Venus and Neptune aspects are idealizing, spiritual, imaginative, living in a dream world, artistic, creative, sympathetic, warm and deep emotions, but not always seeing things as they are.

    If you meet someone under a Venus Neptune soft aspect, you might not be seeing them as they really are, and if you have this aspect in your birth chart, you might struggle with seeing people as they are on a day-to-day basis.

    If you have a certain vision of someone which very different from what they really are, that’s obviously going to cause problems once the honeymoon phase has worn off.

    “Projection” is another Neptune buzzword, both for its association with psychology and self-delusion but also with cinema and the projection of images on screen that are larger than life yet completely illusory.

     

    In Your Chart

    People with Venus trine Neptune are going to be seeking perfection and a sort of heavenly inspiration from their partners.

    They’re going to elevate them on the pedestal and they might not see them clearly, so there’s that soft focus lens which diffuses the details and can create a wonderful, creative, dreamy sort of individual.

    Getting outside the realm of relationships, this can be an incredibly artistic expression of Venus, which we can see in the following celebrity examples:

     

    Celebrity Examples

    Arianna Grande, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, James Dean, Miles Davis, Anthony Bourdain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, JRR Tolkien, and Alan Watts, so we really see the creative and spiritual sides of this aspect, but a dark side that includes addiction, escapism, self delusion, and in some cases even suicide.

    Also, Abraham Lincoln, which is interesting because he famously had a very loving and egalitarian relationship with his wife.

    He’s best known for being the president who freed the slaves, which speaks to his idealism and sensitivity, but we also know him as a tragic figure who was emotionally devastated by the death of his young son while he was in office.

     

    Venus trine Neptune Movies

    This is absolutely the aspect that rules the fairy tale and the happy ending!

    Some movies that exemplify this aspect include Splash,

    The Shape of Water, La La Land, and The Little Mermaid.

    If you think of any other great examples, feel free to share them with us. We’d love to hear from you!

    The Duality of Pisces

    In the second podcast episode Arwynne welcomes Bo. This is a wide-ranging discussion on the most complex and hard-to-define sign of all. Pisces might also might be the most misunderstood and maligned sign in the zodiac. This episode is an illuminating deep dive for anyone struggling to pin down what the deepest of the water signs is all about. We explore the complexities, contradictions, dreams, intuitions, addictions, ambitions and sacrifices that make this sign so unique, and why we would all benefit from understanding the oceanic energies of Pisces a little better.

       

     

    Chart Details

    Bo’s natal chart details as given are as follows:

    • 9:32 am, January 22nd, 1988, Ness City, Kansas, USA.

    This birth data is rated “AA” on the Rodden Rating as the time (9:32 am) is recorded on his actual birth certificate in hand.

     

    Chart Calculation Defaults

    We are using standard Western astrological defaults including:

    • The Tropical zodiac.
    • The Placidus house system.
    • The True Node.

    This chart is calculated with Astro Gold.

     

    Standard Orbs

    Our standard natal orbs for both applying and separating aspects are:

    • 8° for conjunctions, oppositions, trines and squares.
    • 4° for sextiles.
    • 2° for semi-sextiles, semi-squares, sesquiquadrates and quincunxes.
    • 1° for quintiles, biquintiles, parallels and contra-parallels.

     

    Begin Gathering the Information

    This is how to approach a chart interpretation using the method I’ve been using for years. The aim is to get all the relevant information onto one page to start with.

     

    Bos-birth-chart

    Step 1: Balances

    The balances refer to the polarity, elements, modes, hemispheres, quadrants, triple divisions, signs and houses. Only count the seven visible planets.

    Polarity

    In this chart the active polarity has five and the passive polarity has two planets. This makes the active polarity strong. People who are strong in the Active polarity are positive and eject energy into the world by their thoughts and actions.

     

    Element

    Now let’s consider the elements. In this chart there are three planets in Fire, Earth has no planets, Air has two planets and Water has two planets. This makes Fire slightly stronger than the other elements. Technically, for an element to be strong it must have two more planets than the next best element, which fire doesn’t. It only has one more planet than the next best elements which are Air and Water. Strong fire people are inspirational and will inspire others as well.

    Explore more >>> Astrological Elements

    Explore more >>> The Elements and Herbs

     

    Mode

    Turning to the modes. In this chart. Cardinal has one planet fixed has two planets and Mutable has four planets. This makes the Mutable mode strong with four planets. For a mode to be strong it technically must have two more planets than the next best mode. In this case the next best mode is Fire with two planets therefore Mutable is strong. People who are strong Mutable types are amenable to change.

     

    Hemispheres

    Of the four hemispheres, the Northern hemisphere has three planets, the Southern hemisphere has four planets, the Eastern hemisphere has six planets, and the Western hemisphere has one planet. This makes the Eastern hemisphere strong with six planets. People with a strong Eastern hemisphere. Have a great focus on their lives and what they are doing.

    Hemisphere Ruler

    The Eastern hemisphere ruler is Jupiter (as Sagittarius is on the MC). Jupiter is in its own hemisphere (Eastern) so this make Jupiter a focus planet for us to note.

    Quadrants

    Considering the quadrants. The first quadrant has three planets. The second quadrant has zero planets. The third quadrant has one planet. And the 4th quadrant has three planets. Because the 1st and the 4th quadrants have equal amount of planet. There is no strength in quadrants here.

     

    Triple Division

    Moving on to the triple divisions. The first triple division has three planets. The second triple division contains zero planets, and the third triple division has four planets. This makes the third triple division slightly stronger. However, technically, for a division to be strong it needs to have two more planets than the next best triple division, which the third division doesn’t. That’s why the third division just getting the “slightly stronger” label. The third Triple division is the “Them” division, where the focus is on what’s going on in the world.

    Sign Emphasis

    The sign with the most planets is Sagittarius. Therefore, the sign of The Archer, Sagittarius, is emphasised.

     

    House Emphasis

    There is no house with more than two planets thus no house emphasis.

    Step 2: Ascendant Complex

    Ascendant Sign

    The Ascendant sign is Pisces. This makes the chart ruler the greatest planet of all, Jupiter.

    First House Planets

    The planets in the first house are Venus in Pisces and the Moon in Pisces. We also note that the north node is in the first house in Pisces as well.

    Aspects to the Ascendant

    Looking at aspects to the Ascendant, and we have Venus conjoined the ascendant and Mars is square the ascendant.

    Step 3: Chart Ruler Complex

    Chart Ruling Planet

    The chart ruler is Jupiter because Pisces is on the Ascendant and Jupiter rules Pisces.

    Ruler’s Sign

    Jupiter is in Aries. Note that Jupiter is in mutual reception with Mars in Sagittarius.

    Ruler’s House

    Jupiter is in the second house.

    Ruler’s Aspects

    Jupiter is conjoined the Part of Fortune and Eris. It receives sextiles from Mercury and Chiron, and trines from Saturn and Uranus. Note that Jupiter only has soft aspects and therefore is unafflicted. Very nice.

    Step 4: Luminaries

    The Sun

    Sun’s Sign

    The Sun is in Aquarius which is in detriment as it is in the sign opposite its rulership sign of Leo, so it gets a score of -5 in Essential Dignity.

    Sun’s House

    The Sun is in the 12th house.

    Sun’s Aspects

    The Sun is unaspected as it does not receive a Ptolemaic aspect from another planet. However, the Sun does receive a lesser-used aspect, the bi-quintile, from Chiron. Additionally, the Sun is trine the South Node. Even though the Sun receives two aspects, it is technically considered “Unaspected” because the Sun does not receive a Ptolemaic aspect from another planet.

    Luminaries: The Moon

    Moon’s Sign

    The Moon is in Pisces.

    Moon’s House

    The Moon is in the first house. Well placed in an angular house.

    Moon’s Aspects

    The Moon is conjoined the North Node and trine Pluto. The Moon is quintile Neptune. The Moon’s hard aspects are squares from Saturn and Chiron. The Moon is the focal planet in the T-square. The Moon receives an opposition from the South Node. The Moon is opposition and contra-parallel the Vertex. This makes the opposition to the Vertex a double whammy opposition and is therefore a more significant aspect.

    Lunar Phase

    The lunar phase is Crescent.

    2024 Astrology Events

    2024 Astro Events

    Welcome to an exploration into the main astrology themes for 2024.

    In the realm of astrology, each year unfolds like a unique chapter in the grand book of the cosmos.

    If you are an aspiring astrologer, or someone who loves astrology then together we will explore the astrological landscape of 2024.

    In this overview of 2024, we’ll concentrate on three pivotal forecasting triggers that top world class astrologers follow.

     

    Podcast Episode

    Listen to our full conversation where Arwynne and I discuss some astrological highlights for the year 2024.

    In this episode, Alison and Arwynne consider all the major ingresses, retrograde and eclipses of 2024.

    Learn about the main TRANSITS, INGRESSES, ECLIPSES and RETROGRADES  of 2024 how you can interpret them in your charts.

    This is a New Year look ahead which summarises what you, as an astrologer, need to focus on in the next twelve months.

     

    What is Included

    The high-level astrological indicators we’ll be focusing on include:

    Ingresses

    A planetary ingress occurs when a planet changes its sign. For instance, Venus could move from Aries (where it is in detriment and can’t express itself well) into Taurus (where it is in dignity and can express itself well). Planetary ingresses signify a shift in cosmic energies.

     

    Stations

    I also note the planetary stations which are the moment when a planet changes direction.

    For example Mercury will go from direct to retrograde motion and enter its retrograde period. Then in about three weeks mercury will again station and change from retrograde to direct motion.

    Planetary stations herald significant developments in astrological dynamics because a planet bring excrutiating focus to one particular degree of a sign for a brief period.

     

    Lunations

    Finally I watch out for the influence of New and Full Moons. I pay special attention to eclipses, both solar and lunar, which are either New or Full Moons as eclipses carry unique and potent energy because of the parallel aspect of declination baked into eclipses.

    By exploring these three specific astrological movements, I aim to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the celestial currents that will shape the landscape of 2024.

    Remember, for a more in-depth exploration, my 2024 Astro Guide and Planner is at your fingertips, ready to unravel the intricacies of the cosmic dance that lies ahead.

    January 4th, Mars enters Capricorn

    The Red Planet’s energies mesh well in the sign of the Sea-goat as the principles of drive (Mars) and ambition (Capricorn) combine in a supportive manner. We also note that Mars is exalted here.

    If you have a Capricorn Sun or Ascendant, you will get a burst of energy as Mars rolls through.

    The Capricorn New Moon promises serious reactions and measured responses to all situations.

    Plan new strategies now.

    January 14th, Mercury enters Capricorn

    January 20th, The Sun enters Aquarius

    The life-giving Sun enters its opposite sign of Aquarius. This is not a favorable placement for the Sun.

    The truth will be more readily seen and appreciated.

    January 21st, Pluto enters Aquarius

    This is the time when the Pluto in Aquarius energy becomes solidified.

    Now we can begin to see the ramifications of this transformational planet as it passes through the sign of the silent majority.

    January 23rd, Venus enters Capricorn

    This change of planetary energy draws the focus to serious relationships and the role of money in the balance of power between the sexes.

    All Sea Goats will be more loving and social. Anticipate good relations with those in authority, like your boss or your parents.

    January 25th, Full Moon in Leo

    The Moon is ambivalent in Leo. Now you can explore your feelings clearly, if briefly.

    Always pay attention to your gut reactions at the Full Moon as they reflect are your true responses coming out.

    January 27th, Uranus Stations Direct

    Uranus has been in Taurus for a few years now and will remain so until 2025.

    This brings some relief to social issues and abstract problems. This placement has a lot to say about the highly volatile global crypto market.

    February 5th, Mercury enters Aquarius

    Now good news will arrive quickly through social channels.

    Conversations will be heightened as information flows. There could be so much data that you miss the vital ingredients in amongst the inundation of facts. Some people may try to slip an untruth or something shady past you now.

    February 9th, New Moon in Aquarius

    A New Moon in Aquarius is a time to align yourself with how you feel about where you go and where you belong.

    This is a time to think about how your reactions affect others.

    February 13th, Mars enters Aquarius

    You may desire to lead your pack but there is the energy of being a part of something bigger than yourself.

    Be aware of pushing your agenda onto others who perhaps will not appreciate the intrusion. Take a breath before plunging in and choose your battles strategically now.

    February 16th, Venus enters Aquarius

    Now, financial affairs will favor the group.

    All Aquarians will feel romantic, and love is likely to come their way. For the rest of us, new love will blossom from friendships.

    February 19th, The Sun enters Pisces

    As the solar light begins to illuminate Pisces, there is an urge towards sacrifice and doing things to help others.

    Most Fish will be happy and contented for the next four weeks. Everyone will warm towards art and music as entertainment.

    Practice meditation and inner work.

     

    February 23rd, Mercury enters Pisces

    Messages can be confusing so be as clear as possible. Misunderstanding may plague your days.

    Avoid making pronunciations that are wide reaching. You do not have all the facts clear yet. Deals that seem certain may drift apart or collapse.

    A picture is worth a thousand words now.

     

    February 24th, Full Moon in Virgo

    The Virgo Full Moon can easily illuminate the whole picture. Now you can see in detail any flaws in your people, projects or plans.

    Others may not appreciate your comprehensive criticism of their projects either. Look to celebrate the positive in everything and all will be well.

     


    March Astro Events

    March 10th, Mercury enters Aries

    Good ideas will probably pop into your head as Mercury enters Aries. The knack will be to assess and filter the good concepts from the not so good.

    Give yourself time to pause before taking action. Anticipate that the urge to make snap decisions may get you in hot water.

    If in doubt, sleep on it. This is the time to talk things through ahead of time.

    March 10th, New Moon in Pisces

    This month’s New Moon is in sensitive Pisces.

    This indicates it is time to begin something where you sacrifice something else in your life. Consider starting a meditation regime or a daily yoga practice.

    Initiate independent activity to best serve yourself. Choose to get out and about in the sunshine daily.

    March 22nd, Mars enters Pisces

    As Mars enters Pisces is loses some of its fiery nature. Direct your energy inwards and towards the core of you.

    Be sensitive to others around you. If you need to rant and rave do it somewhere where no one can see.

    Your actions will affect bystanders just as much.

    Make sure you are emitting positive energy into the world. Themes of karma are all around now.

    March 25th, Lunar Eclipse in Libra

    Take a pause in your headlong rush of life.

    Reflect on the saying, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, take a friend.”

    The lunar eclipse in Libra urges you to see with whom you are travelling through life and to acknowledge their contribution to your personal success.

    April 8th, Solar Eclipse in Aries

    The solar Eclipse is at 19° Aries and will affect people birthdays this week as it will form a part of their Solar Return chart for the next year.

    April 19th, The Sun enters Taurus

    As the Sun enters the sign of the Bull, situations and relationships begin to stabilize.

    The excessive energy of previous weeks now gives way to a steadier and sustainable pace.

    Make sure your heart is in everything you do.

    If you need more time, slow things down and do not allow yourself to be rushed as sure and steady wins the race.

    April 23rd, Full Moon in Scorpio

    While the principles of the Full Moon itself are of fruition and illumination, the nature of Scorpio is to be secretive which poses an energy dilemma.

    At the evening Full Moon sighting you are likely to witness deep emotions around other people’s hidden opinions, situations and projects.

    April 25th. Mercury Stations Direct

    This station will specifically affect people with birthdays on the 4th, 5th and 6th of April as Mercury will be conjoined their Sun in their solar return chart for the next 12 months.
