Star of David: Major Aspect Pattern

Star of David: Major Aspect Pattern

Star of David

The Star of David is a major aspect pattern formed with six planets.

There are two grand trines and the planets from the one grand trine are sextile to the planets in the other grand trine.

This is a very rare major aspect pattern and sometimes the planets only form five of the star points which results a partial Star of David and not so important.

What to Consider

As the Star of David is made from two grand trines and six sextiles it has much of the meaning of the grand trine.

There are typically only two elements in play, fire and air or earth and water, so there is usually in one polarity either active or passive.

Interpretation of a Star of David

In this pattern the planets are spread about the chart which suggests a variety of interests and talents because of the six sextiles which indicate latent talents for the individual.

 

Example Chart: Partial Star of David

November 3, 2023 has a partial Star of David.

The planets in this partial Star of David are the Moon trine Mercury and Neptune, and Venus trine Uranus and Pluto.

Four sextiles between Moon and Venus, Moon and Uranus, Uranus and Neptune and Neptune and Pluto.

The Ascendant: Your Face to the World

Your ascendant is the impression you make on others.

It shows how others see you. It projects the “self” and your personality and the façade or mask you wear.

It indicates the vehicle you use to get through life.

The Ascendant fronts for you.

Other people initially see your Ascendant before they get to know you and then they see your Sun.

Ascendant

The second thing you need to learn is your Ascendant sign. This is likely to be different to your Sun sign although it could be the identical. You will only know your Ascendant sign if you cast your chart.

Your Personality

The Ascendant is a symbol of your one-to-one, face-to-face, meet-and-greet personality that you employ to socialize.

It is a vehicle you use to interact with others.

 

Cloak

It is your personal interface and is like a cloak you wear to ‘appear’ to others when you walk out of your front door.

Your Ascendant is your opening position and obvious agenda.

Your Ascendant is a collection of expectations you have of the world and your immediate place in it.

 

First Impressions

Your Ascendant reveals the first impressions you make and receive which start out as early messages about your behavior (are you good or bad, or right or wrong).

How you strive to meet the expectations of others through your actions when you were a child is indicated by your Ascendant.

Your personality is seen in your Ascendant complex, and most importantly its sign and major planetary aspects to its degree.

It is the variable means by which you negotiate your needs with others (as seen by your Moon) and formulate or build something we can identify as character (as seen by your Sun).

Your Ascendant acts as an interface between the Sun or Moon (or other parts of the chart) and the immediate world around you.

Your personality has energy.

You have a particular attitude, humor, engagement and interaction.

 

Ascendant Energy

The Ascendant energy is quite different from the accumulation of early behaviors (Moon) or the formation of your character (Sun).

Personality is easy to pick up on, quick to read and decipher.

You can usually see it when you first meet someone (Ascendant).

Personality traits have little to do with our true character.

They are what we show to others.

 

Appearance

Your appearance, and how you come across and the means you use to get through life.

Astrologically, the Ascendant is often seen as the vehicle by which we reach the Sun’s destination which is your life goal.

The Ascendant is the route to getting your needs (Moon) met in relationships and how you negotiate these personal needs in a one- to-one environment.

The Creator Economy in the Age of Aquarius

The Creator Economy in the Age of Aquarius

The Creator Economy

Overview

We are now stepping into the era of the creator economy, where independent and individual creators can thrive.

This unprecedented phenomenon marks a significant departure from historical norms.

The advent of the internet has swung open wide doors for creative individuals to craft and showcase their content, products, and expertise to a vast and diverse audience.

The creator economy refers to a modern economic ecosystem in which individuals, often referred to as “creators,” leverage digital platforms and technologies to produce, distribute, and monetize their own content, products, or services directly to their audience or consumers.

This concept has gained significant prominence due to the rise of the internet, social media, and various online platforms that enable individuals to showcase their talents, expertise, and creativity without the need for traditional intermediaries like publishers, record labels, or studios.

Key Features of the Creator Economy

Content Creation

Creators produce a wide range of content, such as videos, articles, podcasts, music, art, photography, and more.

The content can be educational, entertaining, informative, or inspirational, catering to specific niches and audiences.

Digital Platforms

Creators rely on digital platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Patreon, Substack, and other websites to share and distribute their content.

These platforms provide a global reach and offer tools for engagement, interaction, and monetization.

Direct Audience Engagement

Creators often build a dedicated and engaged community of followers, fans, or subscribers.

They interact with their audience through comments, messages, live streams, and other forms of direct communication.

Monetization Strategies

Creators monetize their work through various methods, including ad revenue, sponsorships, merchandise sales, subscription models, crowdfunding, and offering premium or exclusive content to their most devoted supporters.

Individual Branding

Creators develop their personal brand, which encompasses their unique style, voice, values, and expertise. This branding helps them stand out and build a loyal fan base.

Flexible Work Environment

The creator economy offers flexibility in terms of work location and hours. Creators can work from anywhere and often set their schedules according to their preferences.

Entrepreneurial Opportunities

The creator economy enables individuals to turn their passions and talents into viable businesses.

It empowers them to become entrepreneurs by building and growing their own brands.

Challenges and Risks

While the creator economy offers opportunities, it also comes with challenges such as maintaining consistent income, dealing with algorithm changes on platforms, and managing online harassment or negative feedback.

Overall, the creator (Leo) economy represents a democratization (Aquarius) of content creation, allowing anyone with talent and dedication to potentially reach a global audience and earn a living from their creative endeavors.

It has transformed the traditional media landscape and reshaped how people consume and engage with content.

The Virgo/Pisces Shift

The Age of Pisces

Over the course of the past two millennia, individuals often played the role of workers within a collective framework, resembling the Virgo archetype.

This paradigm was often at odds with the principles of the church, characterized by the Pisces energy, where themes of sacrifice and redemption held sway under the influence of those who wielded control over the labor force (Virgo).

The dynamic interplay between Virgo and Pisces has now yielded ground to the emerging energies of Leo and Aquarius.

Value Creators

Education Shift

Individuals such as YouTubers, writers, influencers, and creators of educational content are experiencing a surge in prominence.

Learning is no longer confined to traditional institutions like universities or religious establishments; now, you have the opportunity to glean knowledge directly from individuals.

In this era of the creator economy, and particularly within the Age of Aquarius, everyone possesses unique passions that can be skillfully packaged and delivered through the avenue of solo entrepreneurship.

Leo

Creative Independence

Leo embodies the essence of the creator, finding its resonance within the realm of the fifth house, known for its profound creativity.

The ascent of creative principles finds its symbolism in Leo, juxtaposed with its counterpart sign, Aquarius.

The present landscape reveals an unprecedented surge in independent enterprises.

The capability to encapsulate one’s skills and unique expertise to establish a business has never been as prevalent as it is now.

The Age of Aquarius

Dawn of the New Age

The Age of Aquarius dawned around the year 2000.

The Age of Aquarius made its initial appearance with the harnessing of electricity, a development around the 1830s closely following the discovery of Uranus on March 13, 1781.

Aquarius

Aquarius is the sign of innovation and the internet, smart phones, computers and all manner of tech gadgets.

People born under the sign of the Water Bearer are often associated with unique and unconventional traits.

Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, which adds a touch of innovation, unpredictability and originality to their character.

These people are often known for their independent and forward-thinking nature.

Strongly Aquarius folk thrive on creativity, new ideas, and intellectual pursuits which makes them great problem-solvers and visionaries.

Aquarius Seems Sociable

Being friendly and seemingly sociable are strong characteristics of Aquarians.

They possess a genuine concern for humanity and often engage in humanitarian efforts.

The Uranus ruled ability to connect with people from all walks of life makes them excellent communicators and team players.

Aquarius Personal Style

One of the distinctive attributes of Aquarius is their emphasis on individuality and a desire to stand out from the crowd.

They are unafraid to challenge societal norms and carve their own paths.

This trait can manifest in various ways, from their personal style to their choice of career or hobbies.

Aquarius and Relentless Innovation

Aquarius is symbolized by the Water Bearer, which signifies the flow of knowledge and ideas.

This symbolism underscores their role as forward-thinkers and carriers of innovation.

They have an innate curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, which drives them to explore new concepts and push boundaries.

Aquarius Stimulates Mental Connections

In relationships, Aquarians value mental connections and intellectual stimulation.

They seek partners who can engage in deep conversations and share their passion for learning.

While they might seem emotionally reserved at times, they genuinely care for their loved ones and express their affection in unique and unexpected ways.

As you embrace astrology as a creative and inspirational tool for living your best life, you might find that exploring your Aquarian traits helps you tap into your natural inclinations.

Embracing your independent spirit, nurturing your creative pursuits, and channeling your humanitarian instincts can empower you to navigate life’s journey in a fulfilling way.

Pluto in Aquarius: 2022 – 2043

Pluto entered Aquarius starting in 2022 until 2043. It will tenant the realm of the fixed air sign for approximately two decades.

This era coincides with the emergence of Chat GPT and the remarkable rise of accessible artificial intelligence (AI).

This significant transformation in our approach to various projects is poised to gain momentum over time.

The advent of cyber currencies (Uranus in Taurus) serves as a tangible manifestation of this impetus for innovation, embodying the collective voice of humanity.

Gender Fluidity

A notable facet of the Age of Aquarius is embodied in the concept of gender fluidity.

Opposition Aspect (Leo/Aquarius)

Projection and Freud

The concept of projection is inherent in the dynamic of any pair of opposing signs.

Projection is a defense mechanism that Sigmund Freud first introduced as a way to understand how individuals deal with emotions and thoughts that they find difficult to accept within themselves.

Projection involves attributing one’s own thoughts, feelings, or desires onto someone else.

In essence, it’s a way of displacing internal conflicts or uncomfortable aspects of oneself onto external people or situations.

This can provide temporary relief from dealing with those feelings directly.

For example, imagine someone who is struggling with feelings of jealousy but is unable to acknowledge this emotion within themselves.

They might project these feelings onto a friend, accusing the friend of being jealous of them instead.

In reality, it’s the individual who is experiencing jealousy, but they project it onto another person as a way of avoiding the discomfort.

Unconscious

Projection often occurs unconsciously, meaning that you might not even be aware that they are projecting your own emotions onto others.

It’s a defense mechanism that helps protect the ego from distressing or conflicting thoughts and emotions.

Projection and Jung

This concept has been widely studied and discussed in psychology. Carl Jung, a prominent Swiss psychiatrist, also explored projection as a way to understand the interactions between the conscious and unconscious mind.

He believed that projection could reveal hidden aspects of the individual’s psyche, offering insight into unresolved inner conflicts.

Projection and Personal Growth

Understanding projection can be beneficial for personal growth and self-awareness.

By recognizing when you might be projecting your own feelings onto others, you can gain insight into your own emotions and thoughts.

It allows you to take a step back, reflect on your reactions, and consider whether your perceptions are influenced by your own internal struggles.

Explore the Projection Concept

In your creative and inspirational approach to life, the concept of projection can serve as a valuable tool.

By exploring this principle, you can gain a deeper understanding of your own motivations, desires, and fears.

This self-awareness can guide you in making more conscious choices and fostering healthier relationships.

It’s important to remember that projection is a natural part of human psychology, and everyone engages in it to some extent.

The key is to develop the ability to recognize when it’s happening and to use that awareness as an opportunity for introspection and personal growth.

As you integrate this understanding into your journey of self-discovery, you’ll likely find that it adds another layer of depth to your creative endeavors and your pursuit of living your best life.

Each sign contains elements desired by its opposite counterpart.

Now, let’s direct our attention to the two dynamic fixed signs of Leo and Aquarius.

Leo and Aquarius

Wanting What You Don’t Have

The essence of opposites is beautifully captured through the interplay of contrasting themes.

In a harmonious dance, Leo and Aquarius have the potential to enhance each other’s completeness.

Leo stands to gain by embracing humility and recognizing the intrinsic worth of humanity.

Aquarius has an opportunity to nurture increased courage and delve into the depths of the heart.

Opposites Attract

The concept of opposites attracting and creating wholeness is a fascinating phenomenon found not only in nature but also in human relationships and various aspects of life.

Much like the interplay between night and day, the union of opposites can bring balance, richness, and a sense of completeness.

Day and Night

The cycle of day and night is a perfect example of how opposites complement each other to form a harmonious whole.

Day represents light, warmth, and activity, while night embodies darkness, coolness, and rest.

Yet, these apparent contradictions work together seamlessly, each contributing its unique attributes to the overall rhythm of life.

The transition from day to night and back again symbolizes a natural ebb and flow, a dynamic equilibrium that sustains the world.

Active and Passive

In human relationships, the attraction between opposites often stems from the idea that individuals with contrasting qualities can bring out the best in each other.

For instance, a person who is outgoing and extroverted may be drawn to someone who is introverted and contemplative.

Their differences create a complementary dynamic where one partner encourages the other to step outside their comfort zone, fostering personal growth and expanded horizons.

Quality

In a similar vein, the union of different strengths and perspectives can lead to more well-rounded solutions in problem-solving and creative endeavors.

When people with diverse skills collaborate, they often contribute unique viewpoints that enhance the overall quality and effectiveness of the outcome.

Light and Dark

Opposites also play a crucial role in personal development and self-discovery.

Embracing contrasting aspects of oneself, such as strengths and weaknesses, can lead to a deeper understanding of one’s identity.

Just as the night allows for introspection and rejuvenation, acknowledging our “dark” or less visible traits can lead to a more authentic and integrated sense of self.

However, it’s essential to note that the harmony between opposites doesn’t mean a complete erasure of differences.

Rather, it involves a respectful coexistence where each element retains its identity while contributing to a larger, harmonious whole.

Creative Inspiration

In relationships, for example, maintaining individuality while appreciating and valuing differences is key to a healthy and thriving partnership.

As you explore the idea of opposites attracting and creating wholeness, consider how this concept can enrich your creative and inspirational journey.

Just as day and night work together to sustain the natural world, your unique blend of qualities and experiences contributes to the vibrant tapestry of your life.

Embracing the interplay of opposites within yourself and your interactions with others can lead to a deeper sense of fulfillment and a more holistic approach to living your best life.

Points to Ponder

The Potency of Leo and Aquarius

Could individuals possessing a potent blend of Leo and Aquarius qualities excel in mastering the intricacies of the creator economy within our rapidly evolving digital era?

The prospect seems plausible, even quite probable.

However, if your aspiration as a creator leans toward becoming an influencer, it’s advisable to tap into your Leo attributes.

Of course, numerous astrological factors must be taken into account.

For those of you whose birth charts prominently feature the dynamic duo of Leo and Aquarius, whether through influential house placements such as the first or tenth, or through planetary presence in these signs, you stand a greater chance of thriving as a creator during this Leo/Aquarius era compared to many others.

Mabon Sacred Spaces

Creating a sacred space for Mabon, also known as the autumn equinox, allows you to connect with the energies of the season and engage in meaningful rituals and reflections.

A Mabon sacred space is a place where you can honor the balance between light and darkness, express gratitude for the harvest, and embrace the changing energies of fall.

Here's how you can set up a Mabon sacred space:

  • Choose a quiet and peaceful location where you can set up your sacred space. This could be indoors or outdoors, depending on your preferences and the weather.

  • Create an altar as the centerpiece of your sacred space. Use a table, shelf, or any flat surface to arrange your altar items. Cover it with a cloth in fall colors like orange, deep red, or brown.

  • Decorate your altar with items that represent the themes of Mabon. This can include colorful leaves, acorns, pinecones, pumpkins, gourds, apples, and autumn flowers like marigolds and chrysanthemums.

  • Place candles on your altar to symbolize the balance between light and darkness. You can use two candles—one white or yellow to represent the sun and one black or dark blue to represent the night.

  • Incorporate crystals that resonate with the energies of fall and balance, such as citrine, carnelian, amethyst, and clear quartz. Arrange them on your altar or use them as decorations.

  • Burn incense or use essential oils with fall scents like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. The aroma can help you create a sensory connection to the season.

  • Add seasonal fruits like apples, pears, and grapes to your altar. You can also include grains like wheat, corn, or barley as offerings to represent the harvest.

  • If you have specific tools you use in rituals, such as a cauldron, athame (ritual knife), or wand, place them on your altar as well.

  • If you work with specific deities, ancestors, or spirit guides, you can include representations or images of them on your altar.

  • Place a small piece of paper or parchment on your altar where you can write down your intentions for the season. This could include things you're grateful for, what you're releasing, or what you're inviting into your life.

  • Create a comfortable space near your altar where you can sit and meditate. Use this space for reflection, gratitude practices, and setting intentions for the coming season.

  • As a way of expressing gratitude, you can offer some of the fruits, nuts, or grains from your altar to the Earth, either by placing them outside or by incorporating them into your fall cooking.

 

By setting up a Mabon sacred space, you create a dedicated area where you can honor the energies of the autumn equinox, reflect on the harvest season, and engage in rituals that align with your spiritual practices.

This space serves as a visual representation of your connection to the changing rhythms of nature and the spiritual significance of Mabon.

 

 

Mabon Poem: Harvest's Balance

Here's a poem I wrote that captures the spirit of Mabon, the autumn equinox, and its themes of balance, gratitude, and the changing of the seasons:

Harvest's Balance

  

As summer's warmth begins to wane,

The equinox arrives again,

A moment's pause in time and space,

When light and dark find their embrace.

 

The scales of nature gently sway,

As night and day hold equal sway,

A harmony of sun and moon,

In Mabon's gentle, whispered tune.

 

The leaves, ablaze in colors bright,

Bid summer's fond farewell tonight,

And in their fall, a sacred dance,

Of letting go with elegance.

 

The fruits of labor, rich and sweet,

Now gathered in for all to eat,

A feast of gratitude we share,

For earth's provision, tender care.

 

With every bite, a whispered prayer,

For cycles, gifts beyond compare,

The turning wheel, a constant guide,

As seasons shift and worlds collide.

 

In this moment of perfect blend,

We find the balance, time to spend,

To honor Earth's abundant store,

And give thanks for the evermore.

 

As autumn's cloak wraps earth in gold,

The stories of the year are told,

In Mabon's light, we find our way,

A dance of night and equal day.

 

This poem reflects the themes of balance, gratitude, and the harvest season that Mabon embodies.

It can be recited during rituals, gatherings, or moments of reflection to honor the energy of the autumn equinox.

 

Mabon Folk Dance

If you're looking for a folk dance to embrace the spirit of Mabon and connect with nature's rhythms, the "Harvest Reel" might be a perfect choice.

The Harvest Reel

The Harvest Reel is a lively and joyful folk dance that embodies the essence of the season.

It can be performed outdoors, surrounded by the beauty of nature, or even indoors to bring the spirit of the outdoors in.

This dance is all about celebrating the abundance of the harvest and the changing of the seasons.

To perform the Harvest Reel, you can follow these simple steps:

  • Gathering in a Circle: Form a circle with friends and fellow dancers. Imagine you're creating a circle that represents the cyclical nature of the seasons.

 

  • Harvesting Movements: Begin by swaying gently from side to side, mimicking the movement of stalks swaying in the breeze. Imagine you're gathering the ripe fruits and grains from the fields.

 

  • Sun and Moon Gestures: As you dance, incorporate movements that symbolize the sun and the moon. Lift your arms high above your head to represent the sun's energy, and then lower them to your sides to symbolize the gentle light of the moon.

 

  • Partner Swaps: If you're dancing in a group, consider a part of the dance where partners swap. This reflects the changing partnerships in nature as different plants and animals interact during the seasons.

 

  • Harvest Basket: Hold your hands together in front of you as if holding a basket. With each step, imagine adding a piece of harvest bounty to your basket.

 

  • Seasonal Changes: As the dance progresses, introduce changes in your movements to reflect the transition from the warm days of summer to the cooler embrace of autumn. You can incorporate skipping, hopping, and gentle spinning to embody the changing weather.

 

  • Crescent and Full Moon Steps: Create steps that mimic the shape of the crescent moon and the full moon. These steps can add a touch of whimsy and symbolism to your dance.

 

  • Celebratory Claps: Towards the end of the dance, incorporate celebratory claps and cheers to represent the joy of a successful harvest and the gratitude for nature's gifts.

 

The Dance Experience

Remember, the Harvest Reel isn't about perfect choreography.

It's about embracing the energy of the season, connecting with your fellow dancers, and expressing your gratitude for the bounties of the earth.

Feel free to add your own twists and movements inspired by the natural world around you.

By dancing the Harvest Reel, you'll be living in tune with the solar cycles, celebrating the Wheel of the Year, and embodying the essence of Mabon.

Whether you're dancing in a meadow, a park, or your own living room, this dance will help you connect with nature, celebrate the harvest, and live your best life in harmony with the changing seasons.
