Pluto Transits Through the Houses

Author: Alison Price – Published: September 2021 – Revised: March 2024

Pluto Transits the Houses

Introduction

In this post I’m going to share with you, key energy shifts that you can anticipate when Pluto transits the houses of your chart. When your start with transits you typically begin from the outer planets inwards towards the Sun. The first planet that you will study will be Pluto. Pluto takes a long time to pass through each sign. It can take years to transit the houses of your chart.

Pluto’s Time in Each Sign

Taking into account that Pluto will retrograde over signs boundaries I am only looking at the first time Pluto enters a new sign in all cases.

This will give an average time for the planet to be in each sign, although yes, it will retrograde at the beginning of the ingress and go back to the previous sign for a while and at the end of a sign it will move into the new signa finally to retrograde back for a while into the old sign.

But all things being equal, that is why I’m taking the first ingress of Pluto into each sign that has occurred relatively recently.

Pluto Through the Signs

Pluto passed through Leo from 1939 to 1956 when it first entered Virgo. Pluto took 17 years to cover 30 degrees.

Pluto transitted Virgo from 1956 to 1971 when it entered Libra. Pluto was 15 years in Virgo.

Pluto entered Libra from 1971 to 1983 when it entered Scorpio. Pluto was 14 years in Libra.

Pluto occupied Scorpio from 1983 to 1995 when it entered Sagittarius. Pluto was 12 years in Scorpio.

Pluto took residence in Sagittarius from 1995 to 2008 when it went into Capricorn. Pluto was 13 years in Sagittarius.

Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 and will remain there until 2023 when it will go into Aquarius. Pluto will be 15 years in Capricorn.

Pluto’s Perihelion and Aphelion

Perihelion

When a planet gets closest to the Sun in its orbit, it is called perihelion.

Pluto, perihelion was actually within Neptune’s orbit on September 5th, 1989 at 13 degrees Scorpio.

Aphelion

Pluto’s aphelionis when it is the farthest away from the Sun in its orbit.

The last time Pluto was in Taurus was over one hundred years ago in 1867. Pluto was in Taurus from 1852 to 1882 which means that Pluto spent 30 years in Taurus.

Kepler’s 2nd Law

Kepler’s 2nd law of planetary motion states that, “Planets sweep out equal areas in equal time.”

This means that when a planet is closer to the Sun, at perihelion, it moves faster, as Pluto did through Scorpio. When a planet is further from the Sun, at aphelion, it moves slower as Pluto did when it transited Taurus. Pluto transited Scorpio in a brief twelve years but took thirty years to transit Taurus. Having said all that let’s have a look at some key phrases that you can anticipate when Pluto transits the houses of your natal chart.

More on Kepler’s 2nd Law of Planetary Motion

Initial House Ingress

The most important part of transiting Pluto, or any planet for that matter, is the time it first enters a new house. That event will bring a period of usually one whole year when the changes relating to the new house are the most felt by the person whose chart it is.

By the time Pluto has been in a house for five to ten years you do get used to the energy. When in a particular house, if Pluto then conjoins a planet in your house it will it trigger more responses in you. And when transiting Pluto makes general aspects to the planets in your chart, but that is the topic for another time.

Ok, so we have covered some potential shifts of energy that you may experience as Pluto transits the different houses of your chart. Find the date when Pluto will change houses for you and jot that special date down in your calendar and worksheet.

Starztober 2024: Astro Art Challenge

Author: Alison Price – Published: June 2024

Starztober24: Astro Art Challenge

Introduction

Inktober is an art movement devised by Jake Parker way back in 2009.

It’s a challenge designed to encourage artists to improve their skills and develop positive drawing habits. During Inktober, participants create one ink artwork each day throughout October, resulting in a collection of thirty-one unique pieces by the end of the month.

The challenge is open to artists of all skill levels, from beginners to professionals. Each day has a prompt word to inspire creativity and guide the day’s drawing. While the traditional medium is ink, many artists experiment with different materials and techniques, making Inktober a diverse and inclusive event.

Participating in Inktober is not just about the end result; it’s about the journey of daily practice, pushing creative boundaries, and connecting with a global community of artists. By the end of the month, artists often find their skills improved and their artistic horizons expanded.

Inktober Prompts

Each year, the official Inktober prompts are published to inspire and guide artists throughout the month. These prompts consist of a list of 31 words, each assigned to a specific day in October, providing a daily theme or idea for the artwork. Artists can choose to follow the official prompts or create their own based on personal interests or specific themes they want to explore.

Many artists and creators design their own unique prompts to align with their artistic focus or hobbies. For instance, the “Starztober” challenge is tailored for those who enjoy astrology, offering prompts related to astrological signs, celestial bodies, and other cosmic themes.

The essence of Inktober is to create artworks using ink, which is why it is called Inktober and not Paintober. The medium encourages artists to explore the versatility of ink, whether through traditional pens and brushes or modern digital inking tools.

Participants widely share their Inktober journey by posting their work and process drawings on social media platforms. This sharing not only helps them stay motivated but also connects them with a global community of artists participating in the challenge. The hashtags #Inktober and #Inktober2024 (or the current year) help in finding and engaging with other artists’ work, fostering a sense of camaraderie and collective growth.

Through the discipline of daily drawing and the support of an active community, Inktober becomes more than just an art challenge; it transforms into a creative festival celebrating artistic expression and improvement.

The Inktober Challenge

Inktober is a personal challenge where the goal is to create one ink drawing every day throughout the month of October. Successfully completing Inktober means producing thirty-one drawings by the end of the month. While many people begin the challenge, not everyone manages to see it through to the end—something I can personally attest to.

Inktober isn’t a competition against others; it’s a contest with yourself. The core question of Inktober is, “Can you create one new ink drawing every day for thirty-one days?” This daily commitment is the essence of the challenge.

Completing all thirty-one drawings before the month ends means you have “won” Inktober. The victory lies not just in the quantity of drawings but in the discipline, creativity, and growth you experience along the way.

Participating in Inktober pushes you to develop consistent creative habits, improve your drawing skills, and explore new ideas. Whether you follow the official prompts or create your own, the true reward is the sense of accomplishment and the impressive body of work you’ve created by month’s end.

Previous Inktober Years

In previous years, I’ve embarked on the Inktober journey but have never managed to complete it. Each attempt has been a learning experience, revealing both the challenges of maintaining daily creativity and the determination needed to see it through.

This year, I feel more prepared and confident than ever before. My artistic skills have grown, and I have developed a stronger sense of discipline. I am truly up for the challenge of Inktober this time.

Reflecting on past attempts, I see how far I’ve come as an artist. The experience has taught me the importance of persistence, creativity, and self-discipline. With these lessons in mind, I believe this year will be different. I’m excited to tackle the daily prompts, push my creative boundaries, and finally complete all thirty-one ink drawings.

This year, I am ready to meet the Inktober challenge head-on and finish strong.

My Art Blog

Over on my art blog at Alison Hazel Art I have documented my previous attempts at Inktober.

This is a space where I focus on meditative art and uplifting themes.

There was an artist who completed AHAtober and you can read her story here.

Starztober Prompts

If you prefer to follow the traditional route, you can find this year’s official Inktober prompts here. These prompts provide a structured yet flexible framework for your daily ink drawings.

However, as an aspiring artist with a passion for astrology, I’ve decided to create my own Inktober prompts this year, which I’m calling “Starztober.” Each prompt is inspired by fundamental concepts in astrology, from zodiac signs and planets to houses and aspects. This personalized approach allows me to blend my artistic endeavors with my interest in astrology.

I have an exciting plan for my Starztober drawings: I intend to use them as the foundation for a coloring book, which I aim to publish next year. This project not only motivates me to complete all thirty-one drawings but also gives my Inktober efforts a meaningful purpose beyond the challenge itself.

By integrating astrology into my Inktober experience, I hope to create a unique and engaging collection of artwork that resonates with both art enthusiasts and astrology lovers. Stay tuned as I embark on this creative journey, and look forward to the release of my coloring book next year!

What You Do

Draw one astro artwork each day in October using the Starztober prompts provided (see below).

Hashtags

Post your artwork to your social channels using the hashtags #starztober and #starztober24

My Starztober 2024 Artworks

As I work through this challenge I’ll post my artworks here. I’ll probably have some thoughts as well as the challenge unfolds. I’ll take better photos as the days go on, in the daylight and not after dark.

The forst week is nearly over and I’m keeping up just dandy.

Alison

Day 1: Star

Off to a good start with my star for Day 1.

I’m inspired by Arwynne’s Pinktober artworks as well!

Day 2: Mars

Loving this Ndebele inspired Mars.

Day 3: Nodes

This time I’m using silver (Moon) and gold (Sun) to show the lunar nodes.

Day 4: Air

Here is the symbol for the Air element in its own color yellow.

Day 5: Virgo

The mutable earth sign Virgo I drew with a few barbs in a drippy way. Chartreuse is Virgo’s color.

Day 6:

Materials

You can do the classic pen-and-ink beloved of staunch Inktober and Starztober fans or move to an art medium that you are comfortable with each week.

You may use:

Pencil
Pencil crayons
Markers
Watercolours
Acrylics
Oil paints

It’s up to you.

The idea is to get productive with astro related artworks.

Drawing Inks and Supplies

I recently started working with colored inks and I plan to use this medium in my Inktober challenge this year.

The art supplies I’ll be using are:

Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens in sizes 0.3mm, 0.5mm and 0.7mm.
White Gelly Roll pen by Sakura.
Pigma Micron pens in black, grey and sepia in various sizes.
Windsor and Newton colored drawing inks.
Paintbrushs in assorted sizes.
Journal by Stillman and Birn.

Cover Page

Below is the inside cover page of my journal. I’ve clearly labeled it “Starzober: Inktober for Astrologers.”

This title serves as a reminder of the purpose behind this creative journey.

By dedicating this Inktober to self-care, I’m focusing on using art as a means to nurture my well-being and mental health.

In years to come, when I look back at this journal, I will instantly recall the significance of this project.

Each drawing will not only represent a step in my artistic growth but also a moment of personal reflection and self-care.

This cover page sets the tone for the entire journal, emphasizing the blend of creativity and mindfulness that defines Starztober.

Prompts Two-Page Spread

On the next full two-page spread, I’ve carefully written out the complete list of Starztober prompts.

The left-hand page features the prompts for October 1st through 16th, while the right-hand page lists prompts for October 17th through 31st.

This layout allows me to quickly see the day’s prompt, making it easy to get straight into drawing, no matter where I am.

Having this organized and accessible list is especially handy when I’m out and about with my Starztober journal.

Whether I’m at a coffee shop, on my lunch break, or simply enjoying some downtime, I can refer to the prompts and start sketching right away.

I plan to begin these sketches early in the day, setting a positive and productive tone.

By drafting outlines whenever I have a spare moment, I will get steady progress and make the most of my creative time.

This approach helps me stay on track and do the daily drawing challenge of Starztober.

My Art Style and Process

For my Starzober drawings, I will follow my usual pen and ink process, which begins with a detailed pencil sketch.

This initial step helps me lay out the composition and ensure the proportions are accurate.

I also plan to include a border around each drawing, typically 1 cm (about half an inch) wide, to give each piece a framed and finished look.

Once the pencil sketch is complete, I’ll go over it with a black pen to create a clean, defined outline.

This step brings the drawing to life and sets the stage for the next phase.

Colored Inks

After inking the outline, I will add color using colored inks.

Depending on the effect I want to achieve, I may use pens for precise lines and details or a paintbrush for broader strokes and shading.

This combination of techniques allows me to explore different textures and depths, enhancing the overall visual impact of each artwork.

By following this structured process, I ensure that each Starztober drawing is carefully crafted and visually cohesive, while also allowing room for creativity and experimentation with color and form.

What to Do with The Art You Create

If you are a general astrologer, you may be asking yourself why do art?

But I think if you’re in any way artistic and maybe you have a sketchbook already, then this would be an ideal art challenge for you.

I do believe that creating art in this way, as a daily art practice, is a 6th House activity.

Calendar

You could choose the 12 best artworks that you create during Starztober and turn them into a calendar.

You would use one image for each month of the year and so with a dozen pieces you could produce a calendar.

Colouring Book

One of my ideas with the Starztober images was to create a colouring book.

This would be just the black ink lines and not coloured in.

The idea would be that you would buy this colouring book and colour in these astrology themed artworks and this would be one way during Starztober and October for you to get a head start by creating 31 images to start with.

Now 31 images are not enough for a colouring book, you need at least 52, but it would be a way to develop your daily art practice too.

You can become more honed in, so that you actually are able to produce these images during this period.

Astro Tarot Card Deck

I’ve had an idea for many years to create an Astro tarot card deck.

Now of course I know there are many decks out there, but as an astro astrologer it’s always been one of my ideas to do so.

And even in the past I have started with a few sketches because the actual dimensions of the images are slightly different.

Over the years I’ve probably created eight to 10 images that would work for an astro Tarot deck, but I really haven’t gone further than that.

During Starztober and October, it would be an idea to bring some focus and create a card deck that could be used later.

The main challenge with this is that you generally need 72 cards and of course, during October you’ll only create 31, but it would kickstart your astro art practice if that was something you would be interested in doing.

Wall Art.

If you go through all your thirty-one drawings that you created, you may find one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest.

The best one you drew.

This will be an ideal piece to actually get blown up and printed at a professional printer so you could hang it on your astrology consulting office wall.

Sketchbook

Even if you don’t have any desire to somehow monetize the art that you’re creating through Starztober the actual fact of working through a sketchbook is very satisfying.

Because your Starztober sketchbook for each year is an individual sketchbook wheew you’re not adding other artwork in there of bits and bobs.

It stands as a testament to what you were doing and how you were feeling about both art and astrology during any particular year.

I do look back on my previous attempts at Starztober and I do have one book from 2022 where I got quite far through this challenge.

I will admit, I didn’t finish it, but every year as we come round to this time of the year and Autumn draws in, I feel that maybe this is the year because I do enjoy art.

Perhaps you could give some thought into how you could re purpose your Starztober artworks this year.

My Starztober Strategy

My strategy for Starztober this year is designed to help me achieve several key goals:

Complete the Challenge

My primary aim is to successfully finish Inktober by completing all thirty-one drawings. This year, I’m determined to win by staying committed and consistent throughout the month.

Personal Competition

I plan to only compete with myself, focusing on personal growth and self-improvement rather than comparing my progress or artwork to others. This mindset will help me stay motivated and positive.

Daily Drawing

I will draw every day, dedicating time each day to create a new ink drawing based on the Starztober prompts. This daily practice will help me develop a strong artistic habit and improve my skills over time.

Mastering Inks

I propose to learn more about working with inks, experimenting with different techniques and tools. This exploration will expand my understanding of the medium and enhance my artistic versatility.

By following this strategy, I aim to make the most of Starztober, creating a meaningful and enriching experience that fosters both my artistic and personal development.

Extend Yourself: September

1st September is when the official Inktober and Starztober prompts are published.

This is often a highly anticipated day in the art world.

Prompts Set

Before you start you need to decide which prompts set you are going to use. This may come down to just how artistic and creative you are. Look to your 5th house for this.

Decide whether to:

Use the official Inktober prompts.
Use the official Starzology 2024 prompts.
Create your own Inktober prompts.

Inktober Journal Setup

It helps to have your journal in hand and to set up the pages beforehand.

You will need 31 pages for the actual artworks, but you can also use some pages at the front for a cover page and the full prompts list.

In your Starztober 2024 journal please do the following:

On the first cover page write your name.
Write the year.
On the second double-page spread write the Starztober prompts list.
Get your art supplies to hand and be ready to start.

Share

If you are comfortable, share your artworks with the hashtags #inktober or with my two hashtags for this year #starztober and #starztober24.

Extend Yourself Further: October

October

As October unfolds, we dive into the heart of the challenge. With all your art supplies ready and your sketchbook prepared for success, it’s time to bring your creativity to life through your artworks.

Start by drawing your first sketch based on the October 1st prompt.
Each day thereafter, continue sketching according to the daily prompts.
Allow your creativity to flow and your skills to grow with each artwork.

Extend Yourself Even Further: November…

November and Beyond

If you find yourself falling behind, don’t be discouraged.

Simply pick up where you left off and keep moving forward.

Even if October comes to an end and you haven’t completed all thirty-one sketches, remember that the journey doesn’t have to stop there.

You can continue into November and beyond, pushing yourself to finish the challenge by the solstice on December 31st.

I’m here to support you throughout your Inktober journey.

I’ll send reminders and encouragement via email throughout October to cheer you on and keep you motivated.

Keep me updated on your progress.

I’m excited to see your artistic journey unfold!

9th House

Houses

In astrology, the 9th HOUSE suggests your general knowledge, religion, travel, philosophy and what you publish.

Triple Division: Houses

Author: Alison Price – Published: January 2021

Triple Division Houses

The twelve houses can be divided into three groups.

This is known as the triple division of the houses.

There are Three Divisions

The first division
The second division
The third division

Triple Divison Location

In astrology, the first triple division originates from the point called the Ascendant, which marks the beginning of the first house in a birth chart. This division divides the astrological wheel into segments, with each segment containing four houses.

Houses in Each Triple Division

In each triple division, you’ll find four houses. These houses correspond to the twelve natural houses represented by the zodiac signs. The four houses within a triple division are always associated with one of each of the four elements: fire, earth, air, and water.

Elements and Houses

Fire Houses: These houses are associated with action, passion, and enthusiasm.
Earth Houses: These houses relate to practical matters, stability, and material concerns.
Air Houses: These houses focus on communication, intellect, and social interactions.
Water Houses: These houses deal with emotions, intuition, and deeper emotional connections.

In each triple division, you’ll find a mix of these elemental energies, which adds a unique flavor or focus to that segment of the astrological chart.

Triple Division Strength

Triple divisions are strong when they contain five or more planets, or they are weak when they have no tenants.

When assessing the strength or weakness of each triple division, you can count the planets within that segment.

For this count, consider only the visible planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These planets are traditionally considered the most influential in astrology.

Strong Triple Division

If a segment has more planets from the visible seven, it indicates strength, vitality, and activity in the areas represented by that division.

Balanced Triple Division

An equal distribution of planets across the seven visible planets suggests a harmonious balance of energies in that division.

Weak Triple Division

A lack or absence of planets in a segment may indicate challenges or less focus in the areas governed by that division.

First Triple Division: Me Divison

The first division includes the first, second, third and fourth houses.

It is the me division.

Second Triple Division: We Division

The second division includes the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth houses.

It is the we division.

Third Triple Division: They Division

The third division includes the ninth, tenth eleventh and twelfth houses.

It is the they division.

By examining the planetary count in each triple division, you can gain insights into the dominant energies, challenges, or strengths in different areas of a person’s life as indicated by their birth chart. This method offers a structured way to understand the dynamics and energies at play within each segment of the astrological wheel.

The Great Year

Author: Alison Price – Published: September 2019 – Revised: March 2024

The Great Year

The great year refers to the orbit of the Sun and the planets in the solar system around the center of the galaxy. A great year is around 26000/24000 years. It is measured by the precession of the equinoxes. A great month is around 2160 years. We use 2000 as an average.

The Milky Way

The Milky Way is our home galaxy. It is between 150000 to 200000 light years across. The Milky Way is a barred spiral shape and we are on the Orion arm which is one of the “spokes” of the spiral.

The Galactic Center

The centre of the Milky Way galaxy is currently at 27° 07′ Sagittarius. The galactic centre wobbles slightly at around one degree in a century. It is thought there is a black hole in the area of the radio wave emission from “Sagittarius A.”

The Last Glacial Period (Ice Age)

We are going back in time to consider the astrological ages and starting just after the last Ice Age which occurred around +/- 11700 BCE.

Precession of the Equinoxes

The vernal equinox begins as the Sun, on its path known as the plane of the ecliptic, crosses the celestial equator moving north. When astrology evolved the constellations lined up with the zodiac signs.

The Astrological Ages (Great Months)

The Age of Leo: The Lion

+/-10000 – 8000 BCE

Humanity knows how to harness and control fire.

The Age of Cancer: The Crab

+/- 8000 – 6000 BCE

The focus shifts to home and family. Prayer to the mother goddess. Early settlements were created. Home was established. Ovens were used to fire pottery began and durable bowls and containers came about. Food and protection became available. Invention of the wheel.

The Age of Gemini: The Twins

+/- 6000 – 4000 BCE

Writing evolved. Communication between people, tribes developed and messages began. The wheel and wheelbarrow created the ability to barter and trade. People prayed to multiple gods. Cave art developed. Cuneiform writing began.

The Age of Taurus: The Bull

+/- 4000 – 2000 BCE

Holy cow. Pyramids built. Thin tunnels inside the pyramids line up towards the pole star. When the three big pyramids at Giza were built the were lined up on the pole star.

People began to understand how plant seeds worked and so seeds were harvested and planted. Agriculture became more available for everyone. Copper jewelry was made.

The concept of money and coins developed. The ankh is the symbol for life in early Egypt and symbol of Venus and the ruler of Taurus. This word (ankh) and symbol (Venus) are built into many names of the day like Tutankhamen and Akhenaten.

The Age of Aries: The Ram

+/- 2000 BCE – 0 AD

Egypt and Rameses, I, II, and III the Sun God. Sacrificial lambs and goats. The Roman Empire and the evolution of body armour. Iron, weapons, war and gladiators become dominant. Rome ruled the known world.

People prayed to multiple Gods. Discovery of concrete used to build bridges, viaducts, cities and to fortify city walls.

The vernal equinox precesses and crosses the beginning of the zodiac. This is a sensitive point and suggest the biggest shift in attitudes. The calendar we use is restarted at year 1AD.

The Age of Pisces: The Fish

+/- 0 AD – 2000 AD

A major epoch in world history. Christianity and the sign of the Fish was used to indicate a Christian within the community. The concepts of forgiveness, sacrifice and turning the other cheek and being a good Samaritan and not passing by on the other side, came in.

Baptism with water was practiced. Organized religion, and after the invention of the printing press, the Bible, the Torah and the Quran became readily available. Generally, people prayed to one God. Astrologically, the dawning of the age of Aquarius began in the 1960s with the Moon landing and the Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo which challenged and opposed the sign of Pisces.

The Age of Aquarius: The Water Bearer

+/- 2000 – 4000 AD

Uranus rules Aquarius. The harnessing and understanding electricity heralded the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. Huge leaps in science and astronomy came in. The space program was another indication of the incoming age. Electric light, heat and quality of life improved for most people. The technology age, computers and the internet are symbols of the Age of Aquarius.

The Age of Capricorn: The Sea Goat

+/- 4000 – 6000 AD

Human reproduction restrictions and or global government?

Wine Zodiac Pairings: Which Wine Compliments Your Sign?

This Guest Post is by Nicholas Rubright from Jordan Vineyard and Winery.

Wine Zodiac Pairings

Wine and the zodiac actually have a lot in common. Both have elements that change over time and have seasons and situations in which they shine best. Each sign in the zodiac wheel compliments the others in a specific way, just as wines compliment different foods. There are already so many resources out there about how to pair food and wine. Today I’m going to do something a little different and tell you which wine compliments your zodiac sign and why.

Fire Signs

Aries and Petite Sirah

Petite Sirah Profile

Style: Full Body, Dry, High Tannin, High Alcohol
Flavors: Sugar Plum, Blueberry, Dark Chocolate, Black Pepper, Black Tea

Though it’s a common California wine, Petite Sirah comes from a French grape called “Peloursin”. This is a rare grape, with a very flavorful profile. This wine is popular for its bold, fruity flavors which contrast its dark red color.

Aries Traits

March 21 – April 19 | The Ram

Strength: Bold, Honest, Determined, Confident
Weakness: Aggressive, Impulsive, Moody, Impatient

Aries is the first sign in the zodiac wheel. It falls under the Fire element. As the first sign, Aries is open to new opportunities. They move through life knowing that they’re leading the way for a new adventure, even if their adventures are short lived. As a fire sign, Aries tend to have bold emotions at all times. It is not unlike an Aries to show some tough love. To an Aries it means they are doing right by you. This blunt honesty is what makes them a loyal friend and lover.

Petit Sirah Pairing

Petite Sirah is full of aggressive sweet and bitter notes. Similar to Aries, who are bold in their own right, giving you a refreshing solution to a problem. Within all its powerful flavors, Petite Sirah is good for your health. The bitterness is an effect of the high level of tannins in this kind of wine. Like an Aries’ brutal honesty can leave a sour taste in your mouth, so can a Petite Sirah. Among its sweet notes of blueberries and sugar plums, Petite Sirahs have the bitterness of dark chocolate and black pepper to spice things up. Life is never boring with an Aries, this flavorful wine pairing will not disappoint.

Leo and Champagne

Champagne Profile

Style: Light Body, High Acidity, Intensely Dry
Flavors: Citrus, Peach, White Cherry, Almond, Toasty

Champagne comes in a variety of brut, dry, and sweet bodies with deep flavors that pair great with seafood or crunchy appetizers. You know Champagne as the world’s go-to bubbly used to celebrate special occasions like weddings, holidays, and Friday nights.

Leo Traits

July 23 – August 22 | The Lion
Strength: Ambitious, Loyal, Generous, Enthusiastic, Leader
Weakness: Egoistic, Lazy, Stubborn, Arrogant

Out of all the Fire signs, Leos yearns most to make an impression. In fact, it’s their number one priority. Their personality is powerful and attractive making them hard to miss. As far as love languages go, this Fire sign is most fluent in Words of Affirmation. As much as they receive compliments, they’ll give them right back to you. Leo’s warm heart and eagerness to do well in everything they set out to do is what makes up their magnetic confidence and loyalty. However, if Leos are mistreated, they won’t hesitate to move on from what is making them unhappy.

Champagne Pairing

A Leo’s loyalty is unmatched so long as it’s reciprocated. They know what they deserve and will not budge. Fire signs need the proper attention to feel someone is worth the affection they are giving. When you don’t fulfill the needs of a Leo, their confidence dwindles. Just like a Champagne left unattended, that can’t help but go flat. Both Champagne and Leos can be dry or sweet depending on their style. Regardless of the details, there is no better pair to celebrate with than Leos and Champagne.

Sagittarius and Malbec

Malbec Notes

Style: Full Body, Dry, Low Acidity, Low Tannin, High Alcohol
Flavors: Red Plum, Blackberry, Vanilla, Tobacco, Cocoa

Like many other wines, Malbec originated in France. However, most vineyards that produce this wine are in Argentina. Malbec has a deep and sweet full body bound to leave you wanting more. It’s cocoa and vanilla tones give this red wine a smooth finish every time.

Sagittarius Traits

November 22 – December 21 | The Archer
Strength: Idealistic, Adventurous, Persistent, Optimistic, Romantic
Weakness: Competitive, Impulsive, Impatient, Overachiever, Blunt

Sagittarians are the social butterflies among the zodiac. They are known to be very positive and outgoing. They are always up for sharing information with others. As the Archer, they seek out as much knowledge as they can find. A Sagittarian’s curiosity is limitless especially regarding love, philosophy, and religion. They yearn to be free, therefore knowledge and adventure is what they pursue most. This can make them a bit stubborn, as they hate being told the can’t do something.

Malbec Pairing

Malbec is a fun and strong wine with strong notes of oak and black fruits. As the last of the Fire signs, Sagittarians can be as aggressive in their passion as they are in their truth-seeking. Unlike other wines, a Malbec’s finish does not last, and the same can be said with the adventures of a Sagittarius. Just like Aries, Sagittarians are very good at starting new ventures but are not the best as finishing them. Without looking back at how their last one ended, they’ll embark on a new one.

Earth Signs

Taurus and Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Profile

Style: Full Body, Dry, High Tannin, High Alcohol
Flavors: Black Cherry, Black Currant, Baking Spices, Cedar

Cabernet Sauvignon is among the safest choices when selecting a red wine. It has a strong full body with a balance of fruits and spices. This California wine is easy to pair with a variety of unexpected foods. Sure, red meat is an obvious pairing, but get yourself some dark chocolate with this wine, and you’ll be dreaming about it later.

Taurus Traits

April 20 – May 20 | The Bull
Strength: Loyal, Dependable, Patient, Grounded
Weakness: Possessive, Aggressive, Uncompromising

Earth signs tend to do things to get rewarded. Taurus is no exception. People who fall under this sign will work hard for the benefits they earn. Along with their work ethic, a Taurus is dependable knowing that they will earn respect and other prizes. However, they know it’s a two-way street and remain aware that their work is ongoing. This is where their patience comes in. As hopeless of a romantic as they can be, a Taurus is always on the defense. You must first earn their trust before they feel safe giving you theirs in return.

Cabernet Sauvignon Pairing

Cabernet Sauvignon is a sensual red wine that you learn to love and trust – not unlike a Taurus. The sensual undertones of the wine’s flavor evoke black fruits and spices. These undertones are found in Taurians too, they’re one of the most sensual signs on the wheel. Both the sign and wine have a range of earthy flavors with a strong body, and dry style.

Virgo and Chardonnay

Chardonnay Notes

Style: Full Body, Dry, Medium Acidity, High Alcohol, Little to No Tanning
Flavors: Yellow Apple, Starfruit, Pineapple, Vanilla, Butter

Chardonnay was originally harvested in large quantities in the Burgundy region of France. The variety of flavors a Chardonnay offers is not limited to the list above. When fermented and aged in oak, it develops spicy, almost bourbon-like notes, making it the rich white wine we love.

Virgo Traits

August 23 – September 22 | The Maiden
Strength: Strong, Hardworking, Observant, Analytical, Sophisticated
Weakness: Intense, Dominating, Perfectionist, Shy

Virgos have a very practical way of making their plans. Like Taurus, this Earth sign doesn’t mind putting in the work, as they realize how the little things can add up to the big picture. Virgos are known to be the most sophisticated on the zodiac wheel. Both their work and honest advice are delivered clearly so that you won’t misunderstand what they mean. It is their graceful advice and willingness to help that make Virgos great friends.

Chardonnay Pairing

It takes a lot of dedication to make Chardonnay the elegant wine it is, much like the dedication Virgos put into their own craft. Virgos are sophisticated in the way they talk, work, and carry themselves. Some call it perfectionism, Virgos call it attention to detail. Virgos are loved for their ability to compliment all the other signs just as Chardonnays are loved for their versatility in food pairing.

Capricorn and Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc Profile

Style: Light Body, Dry, Low Alcohol, Low Tannin, High Acidity
Flavors: Gooseberry, Honeydew Melon, Grapefruit, White Peach, Passion Fruit

It’s hard to confuse Sauvignon Blanc with other white wines (like Chardonnay). When compared, you’ll note Sauvignon Blanc is full of acidity and herbal flavors. This rich white wine is widely produced as the grape can be grown almost anywhere. The result, Sauvignon Blanc comes in a variety of ranges – from lean to bountiful.

Capricorn Traits

December 22 – January 19 | The Goat
Strength: Responsible, Disciplined, Ambitious, Practical

Weakness:Inability to be Wrong, Pessimistic, Unforgiving

Capricorns will tell you they are the “Greatest Of All Time” or these days, G.O.A.T. This earth sign is a determined sign which doesn’t need to be asked to do what they know needs to be done. Along with their practical sense of duty, they always strive for success. Yet they are fully aware that their success will take time. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day. That’s an Earth sign for you.

Sauvignon Blanc Compatibility

Capricorns are dry with their emotions, much like Sauvignon Blanc. This is due to a Capricorn’s view of the world and their diligent traits. Sauvignon Blanc is one-part fruits and one-part earthy notes matching Capricorn’s element perfectly.

8 Combinations

In the scenario of active and passive signs, as regards to your chart’s holy trinity, there are only eight possible combinations.

The three are always listed in the sequence; Ascendant, Sun, Moon.

The ratio is always active:passive (+ : – ).

+ + + 3:0 100% active

+ + – 2:1 More active than passive.

+ – + 2:1 More active than passive.

– + + 2:1 More active than passive.

– – + 1:2 More passive than active.

– + – 1:2 More passive than active.

+ – – 1:2 More passive than active.

– – – 0:3 100% passive.

Some More Examples

Ascendant Sun Moon

Libra Gemini Pisces + + –

Aquarius Sagittarius Virgo + + –

Leo Aries Taurus + + –

They are 216 possible combinations that are active, active, passive (+, +, -), but only eight possible combinations.

The use of polarity in the holy trinity of your chart is way to simplify what is a complex subject, astrology.

Spend some time analyzing your family’s and friends charts to see polarity at work.

Of course, there are many more interesting things about astrology charts that you could learn.

Make Your Own Astrology Wheel of Fortune

Wheel of Fortune

Designing the Wheel of Fortune

I used to teach a class about the real basics of astrology. This was a class for beginners with not even a whiff of technicality.

I decided to create a visual aid to learning astrology that the students could make themselves and get to keep. I happiliy called it my “Wheel of Fortune.”

This diagram was inspired by the birth chart and has the twelve signs on it.

Template Creation for my Wheel of Fortune

I created a template for one sign that fits on a letter size piece of paper which can be printed out. The student printed out 12 pages and started to color in and make notes on their Wheels of Fortune.

The beauty of this is that everyone had a similar wheel, but each one was unique.

This wheel is made up of twelve “slices” just like the slices of a pizza. Each slice is 30° wide and therefore is exactly one zodiac sign.

How to Construct Your Wheel

Print 12 sheets, so that’s one page for each sign.
Add your own keywords and notes to each sign.
Colour in as much as you like.
Cut the slice out leaving the tab on.
Carefully layout all the signs in the right order.

Zodiac Signs in Order

The signs in order anticlockwise are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Tape the slices lightly at the front with small pieces of masking tape just to hold it.
Turn it over and magic tape the slices together.

Note: Take your time as the slices can be tricky.

When completed glue the whole wheel onto a sheet of cardboard or Bristol board for support.
Cut with scissors and trim to 5mm to the edge of the circle.

Hang Your Wheel of Fortune

Hang the finished astrology wheel by a centre pin so that it can rotate, because you read each sign when it is at the bottom and the signs can be read from all around.

How to Use the Wheel of Fortune

You should place your wheel on the wall near your desk and where you do your astrology work. In this way, it becomes as inspiration and a memory jogger for when you forget things.

Remember to send me a photo of your completed wheel and I will publish it on this post later. There is no time limit. Enjoy being creative and learning at the same time.

Keywords to Use

Many astrology keywords are well known and you should add these to your wheel.

When you discover a new word to describe the signs you can add them to your wheel. This is how you interpret astrology and not how I do, or the next guy does.

Be your own astrologer and develop the art so that it speaks to you.

Why stray from the true and tested keywords? Because we want to hear your voice coming through in your interpretations.

If you ask ten artists to paint a picture of an apple they will all produce a painting that represents an apple. Maybe Picasso’s apple is a bit odd but it is still an apple how he sees it.

It is the same with astrology. Every astrologer can read a chart, but each one brings their own flair to the reading. Your own words are important and this is why you need to develop your own words as well.

How we Learn as Things Change

Back in the day I was taught that the eighth house was to do with death. But I prefer to read it as a transformation either of the mind, body or the finances.

Now, blood donors and blood donations (other people’s resources) are shown in your eighth house.

Greek astrologers or even those in the last century may not have experienced blood donors (or had the ability to benefit from blood donation) but we have this today.

It’s the same with Instagram and Facebook being in the eleventh house. Social media and being “friends” with others is an eleventh house thing. But ten years ago FB was unknown.

Always Interpret in Your Own Words

Yes, you need to use the usual keywords to start with as you learn astrology. It is the language of astrology. But as you develop your own astrological voice I urge to use your own words. This may take a while but I encourage you to take ownership of the astrology you do.

If you want a cookie-cutter reading you can go to the internet and find a free site that prints preprinted pages of interpretations.

But, if you want to be a good astrologer you need to do your own thing. Your own thing comes from the internal dynamics of your own chart.

Be yourself. Don’t be just a human computer churning out information with no discernment for the value of what you produce, rather be yourself.

Doodling

When I attend lectures I often find myself doodling in the margins as the speaker talks and I thought about this for a while and at my workshops and lectures.

When I taught every evening and four classes a week my students would come to class with their binders and stuff their notes from class into them. It occurred to me that they could do with a nice cover page for their binders so I created this page specifically to be colored in.

Each student was able to do their own color combination and it became a component of the classes. So now I give each astrology class student or workshop attendee one of original astrology themed colouring pages.

I want to share this with you now and offer you a free PDF download of one of my astro art pages.

Astrology Binder Cover Page

The idea is that you write your name in the space at the bottom and use this as the cover for your astrology binder (or file). If you are new to astrology you may not see the subtlety of the symbols peppered about this page but they will all be revealed as you learn about this exciting craft of astrology.

If you are an aspiring astrologer then you probably have a few journals, files or binders where you keep all of your exciting astrology notes, class notes, snippets and information. There is so much to learn. I get it. It can be overwhelming at times. I have created a front cover for you to use for your astrology journal.

All you have to do is download it and colour it in to your heart’s content. I’m calling these images and diagrams Astro Art and until I get a better name I’ll stick with that.

How to Colour

You can do felt pen, pen and ink, pastels or primaries. It’s up to you.vIf you like you can do more than one copy.Now you can always have something to doodle on when you find yourself in a long lecture.

Share

When you have completed your Astrology Art cover page please share it with us use the hashtag #starzart I can’t wait to see what you can do.

This year I plan to have more images for you to color in and they are coming out soon, so get those crayons sharpened.

An Introduction to Interpreting the Four Humours

This Guest Post is by UK astrologer James Hirlehey.

An Introduction to Interpreting the Four Humours

The four humours are the cornerstone of reading a chart for the health and well-being of the native, as well as determining their character and temperament from a more traditional perspective. This article will introduce the four humours and will give you some suggestions for your own study and research.

What are the four humours?

Most people have heard of the four humours in the context of Ancient Greek philosophy. They are generally taught as being related to bodily fluids in the following way:

Sanguine – blood
Choleric – yellow bile
Melancholic – black bile
Phlegmatic – phlegm

Later, an astrological student might learn that sanguine relates to the element air, choleric relates to fire, melancholic relates to earth, and phlegmatic relates to water. Then, if you study further, you might learn about temperament in the context of general personality traits of each of these humours.

Temperament and humours are far more intricate than this, however, and they form the foundation for Western Astrology.

The two polarities

The four humours are based on two polarities, hot/cold and wet/dry. The hot/cold polarity is rather straightforward. It relates to literal heat and coolness, but it also relates to activity level. Hot is active and busy, and cold is passive and calm. The wet/dry polarity is a little more complicated. It has to do with unity and separation. Wet connects and brings things together, and dry separates them and creates distinctions.

The correspondence between the humours, elements, and polarities is as follows:

Sanguine – Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) – hot and wet
Choleric – Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) – hot and dry
Melancholic – Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) – cold and dry
Phlegmatic – Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) – cold and wet

How the four humours were used historically

Before the 17th Century, the humours provided the structure by which astrology and medicine were practiced. When interpreting a Natal Chart, the astrologer would determine the temperament of the native, or that person’s natural balance between the polarities. Any medical or dietary advice would take into account the individual’s natural temperament as well as the apparent imbalance that could be determined by symptoms and by the chart that was cast to diagnose the patient.

The animals and plants that are used as food or medicine also have temperament. The way foods or plants are prepared can alter their temperament. For example, cooking heats food, baking dries it, and boiling moistens it. Different activities also alter temperament as well. For example, most exercise is heating, and rest is cooling.

Other applications of temperament

The principle of temperament also has application to the seasons, planets, and phases of the Moon. The temperament of the seasons is:

Spring (Aries, Taurus, Gemini) – hot and wet
Summer (Cancer, Leo, Virgo) – hot and dry
Autumn (Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius) – cold and dry
Winter (Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces) – cold and wet

The sign correspondences with the seasons are based on the Northern Hemisphere. It could be that these sign correspondences are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere. This is a topic that is wide open for astrological research.

The planetary temperament correspondences are not uniform in traditional sources. In William Lilly’s Christian Astrology, they are listed as follows:

Saturn – melancholic, cold and dry
Jupiter – sanguine, hot and wet
Mars – choleric, hot and dry
The Sun – hot and dry
Venus – phlegm with blood, temperately cold and wet
Mercury – variable according to the other planets nearby, but alone, melancholic, cold and dry
The Moon – phlegmatic, cold and wet

The temperament of the phases of the Moon are as follows:

New Moon to 1st Quarter Moon – hot and wet
1st Quarter Moon to Full Moon – hot and dry
Full Moon to 3rd Quarter Moon – cold and dry
3rd Quarter Moon to New Moon – cold and wet

Incorporating the Four Humours in Chart Interpretation

The easiest way to begin incorporating the four humours is to use the two polarities to take the temperature of the chart, as it were. There are various methods for calculating temperament, but a very simple approach is to just count the planets by element.

We can try this with the chart of the famous celebrity and talk show host, Oprah Winfrey:

Every astrologer needs to decide for themselves what planets and chart points to use, but for this example, let’s use the Traditional Planets, the Ascendant and the Midheaven.

Sun – Aquarius (Air), hot and wet
Moon – Sagittarius (Fire), hot and dry
Mercury – Aquarius (Air), hot and wet
Venus – Aquarius (Air), hot and wet
Mars – Scorpio (Water), cold and wet
Jupiter – Gemini (Air), hot and wet
Saturn – Scorpio (Water), cold and wet
Ascendant – Virgo (Earth), cold and dry
Midheaven – Gemini (Air), hot and wet

By a simple count, we have 6 hot/3 cold, 7 wet/2 dry. By this count, Oprah Winfrey is hot, meaning she likes to be busy and active. Hot people also tend to be more extroverted than cold people. She is also very wet. This means that she tends to see how things and people are alike, and that she likes to bring people together.

As you are experimenting with temperament, you can try adding other things into the mix and see what happens. For example, you may want to add in the season of the Sun, the phase or the Moon, and the Part of Fortune. If you do that, you get:

Season – Winter, cold and wet
Phase of Moon – 3rd Quarter, cold and wet
Part of Fortune – Scorpio, water, cold and wet

Adding these three into the mix would make her even in the hot/cold polarity 6/6 and even more wet with a score of 11/2.

If you want to study and experiment further, there are many other formulas that have been used for calculating temperament in the astrological tradition. As an aspiring astrologer, it is good practice to play with different planets and chart points, and perhaps try different formulas to see what seems to yield the most accurate results for you.

When experimenting with new techniques, the best practice is to start with your own chart, as you know the most about yourself. Then branch out to look at the charts of people you know well, like your friends and family. This way you can see for yourself if the four humours are useful to you in interpreting a chart,

Conclusion

In this article, we have looked at the four humours and the principles behind them. We have also looked at how they were used historically and have given suggestions for how to begin to incorporate them into your own chart analyses. Hopefully, this will give you the tools you need to start experimenting with the four humours on your own.

In astrology, your habits are closely realted to the Moon.

As the Moon passes through your birth chart it transits every house and forms every possible aspect to all of your planets.

Because of the Moon’s natural abilities, everything is sensed and instinctively known. You just have to pay attention.

Habits

To break a bad habit takes one lunar orbit of the Earth or one month.

By the same token, to build a good habit takes one lunar orbit of the Earth, or 30 days, give or take a whisker.

30 Day Drawing Challenge

Thus is born the 30 Day Challenge. All new habits can be established if they are practiced every day for 30 days.

I talk about the five components to live a satisfying life which are; love, money, wellbeing, vision and creativity.

I have taken up a creative project, and I will be doing a new sketch, or drawing, every day for 30 days. You can join me if you like.

New habits that you begin are better supported, and more dynamic, when started at a New Moon, or a solar eclipse, like the one that occurred on August 11th, which spurred me into action as it was conjoined my Sun.

You can practice New Moon Wishing in line with your birth chart to support your creative new habits.

I will post my progress here. Tag your creations with #starz30 so we can see your beauties. “The 30 Day Drawing Challenge”

Please share this with anyone who needs to see it.

Have a prosperous day,

Day 1

The Vancouver Art Gallery from the steps of Robson Square, downtown Vancouver.

I take a photo just to show you. I complete the drawing at the location.

The buildings were a bit wobbly and the trees were hard to draw, but hopefully, I will get better over the next 29 days.

Day 2

The giant pandas outside the Marriott Parq Hotel in Vancouver.

This piece is named “Slow” by Chinese artist Zhang Huan. This sculpture is in stainless steel and is highly polished.

Huan’s pandas are “meant to eulogize eternal maternity and family while expressing expectations of a future, and expresses the artist’s understanding of human nature and his thoughts on love and eternity.”

This drawing was quite a challenge to do in pen and ink. There is about 50 shades of grey.

On a side note, I need to get another pen as this one seems to have run out of ink.

Day 2 of the 30 Day Drawing Challenge over. Roll on the next twenty-eight.

Alison ⭐️

Day 3

This is the view across Sunset beach in Vancouver. Looking towards the west.

There were three main bands of color.

From the top down, the sky a hazy grey/blue due to lots of forest fire smoke, the sea which had more bands of dark blue and green within it, and the sand which was beige and grey, or greige, in the footsteps of the bathers.

Beachcombing was great and we collected many shells which we will use as mulch in the little plant pots in our apartment..

Day 4

The waterfall and rill in my local Emery Barnes park in Vancouver.

This was the first year for ages that they have had water flowing in the city parks due to recent water shortages.

The water itself was difficult to capture and somehow the falling water is not quite right, but I think the general image is ok.

Day 5

What is to come…

The Opposition Aspect

The Opposition Aspect

The circle divided by two. 360°/2 = 180°

Same polarity

Planets in opposition are usually in the same polarity.

The opposition can be disassociate if one planet is in an active sign and the other in a passive sign.

Opposition Aspect Meaning

Projection

The opposition is an aspect of projection between the self and the other.

This aspect tends to flip-flop between holding a stance in the principle of the first planet and then standing on the other side looking back from the viewpoint of the second planet.

Resistance

It is an aspect that causes resistance between the two planets.

Difficult

It can be difficult, and this aspect needs work to integrate the energies.

Strives for equilibrium

The person will strive for equilibrium within the boundaries of the energies shown by the planets.

Disown

The individual may very well disown the opposite first from one side and then from the other.

Frustrating

It can be frustrating to be constantly alternating the viewpoint.

Oppositions to Other Planets

Sun oppositions create much tension and stress in life.

Moon oppositions make emotional reactions the default response to challenges.

Mercury oppositions result in arguments and verbal conflict and mental stress.

Venus oppositions suggest romance and financial affairs are very difficult to stabilize.

Mars oppositions create general resistance and an abrasive attitude.

Jupiter oppositions grow big problems and need opportunities for resolution to stabilize.

Saturn oppositions can stonewall the individual so they cannot get past the issue.

Uranus oppositions make the individual contentious and uncompromising for others.

Neptune oppositions develop escapist attitudes when the tension rises and coping is hard.

Pluto oppositions can be very difficult to find a resolution, they may be the main theme of the life.

Solar Return Charts in Astrological Forecasting

Solar Return Charts

A solar return chart is a chart cast for the exact time that the Sun reaches the same longitude (degree, minute and second) that it was placed at the time of your birth as shown in the natal chart.

Solar Return Place

A solar return chart is cast for the city you are in on your solar return date and not your birthplace. It is known as you solar return place or location.

Every year there will be a different solar return chart for you as the Sun will be in the same degree and sign, but the planets and angles will have moved.

Each of your solar return charts (year after year) will have the same sign, degree and minutes for the placement of the Sun as it is in your natal chart. In other words, your solar return Sun position on the zodiac is always the same as your solar return Sun every year.

When to Cast a Solar Return Chart

A solar return chart is cast every year on your birthday, or thereabouts, and can be used to predict the trends coming up for you each year.

A solar return chart is a direct astrological forecast method, which means it is based on transits, but it is crafted for you individually based on your natal Sun’s position.

If you can read a natal chart you can quickly interpret a solar return chart.

Solar Return Annual Forecasting Period

It is usual, and advisable, for clients to have a chart consultation on or near their birthday because of the power inherent in the solar return chart.

If you do a client consultation midyear you have to print the current and the next solar return chart.

Solar Return Charts can Stand Alone

A solar return chart is one forecasting technique that can be done alone and not combined with the other methods.

A solar return chart is useful for forecasting one year ahead which is a typical length of time for an astrological forecast for someone.

Relocate the Chart

Your birth chart is calculated for the town or city where you were born.

When the transiting Sun perfects the conjunction to its natal position you could be anywhere on Earth.

When using a solar return chart, it is necessary to cast the chart for the place that you are living in on that birthday.

As the potentials for the year are inhaled at the exact time of the Sun’s return.

If you move from your birthplace, each year’s solar return place can be different if you continue to move.

For example: If you were born in Toronto and now live in London then you would calculate the solar return chart for London for that year..

If you were born in Toronto and now live in London and are on vacation in Los Angeles on your birthday, then you would calculate the solar return chart for Los Angeles.

Solar Returns: Podcast Episode

Learn how to cast a SOLAR RETURN chart, what to look for and intrepret it.

In this episode, I (Alison) chat with Arwynne and discuss the direct forecasting technique of solar return charts.

We explain how to cast a new solar return chart, solar return travellers, and three key interpretation steps to understanding the message in the chart without being overwhelmed by too much data.

Date and Time Changes

All good astrology software such as Solar Fire and Astro Gold will calculate a solar return chart for you.

Check that the Sun’s position is the same as the natal Sun’s position and check the new location.

Solar Return Date

If you move extremely west or east of your birthplace then the solar return chart may end up being dated on the day before, or the day after, your actual calendar birthday.

Solar Return Time

The birth time for the solar return chart will be different to the natal time and different each year.

Solar Return Chart Interpretations Interpretations

Interpretation of the solar return chart is not as complicated as re-analyzing a whole new chart.

There are specific details to look for and not every solar return chart will provide as much information as the next one.

How Often to Cast a Solar Return Chart

The solar return chart may come into effect one or two months before your birthday and last up to ten to twelve months after your birthday.

I find that it is best to start using the next solar return chart one month before your birthday.

That is when the Sun is at thirty degrees to its natal position, or one sign before.

This can be variable, and it depends on the placement of the planets that year.

When to Use a Solar Return Chart

You don’t just wake up one day under the effects of the new solar return chart.

It is a gradual process.

However, when the transiting Sun is in orb of a conjunction to your natal Sun (8 degrees) then the solar return chart begins its effect for sure and last year’s solar return chart fades away.

Using Two Solar Return Charts at Once Two Solar Return Charts

A situation may arise when you have to cast two solar return charts at once.

This would typically be the case if you were looking at the yearly forecast for someone and it was six months from their last birthday and therefore six months until their next birthday.

Previous Solar Return

You can use the previous year’s solar return up until the month before your next birthday.

Current Solar Return

The current solar return is cast for your last birthday and can be used for twelve months. You may begin to feel the effects of the next solar return chart when it is under one month to your next birthday.

Next Solar Return

The next solar return chart will come into effect around your next birthday. But the influences may start to develop at around one month before your next birthday.

If your birthday is in the next month use the next solar return chart.

Instances When to Cast Two Solar Return Charts

If you had a client who came for an astrological consultation and required a forecast between their two birthdays, then you would cast two solar return charts, the previous one and the next one.

Angles in the Solar Return Chart

Solar Return Angles

When reading a solar return chart, the four angles are very important.

The natal sign over the solar return Ascendant clues you into the year ahead.

Any planet conjunct an angle in the solar return chart will be prominent that year.

Planets Conjunct the Angles

Ascendant – A planet conjunct the solar return Ascendant may play a role in how your project yourself.
Descendant – A planet conjunct the solar return Descendant may play a role in your close personal relationships.
Midheaven – A planet conjunct the solar return Midheaven may play a role in the public persona you can project that year.
IC-A planet conjunct the solar return IC may play a role in what your private life looks like.

Solar Return Ascendant Sign

The Ascendant sign in the solar return chart indicates the way you will present yourself this year.

It may be that same as your natal Ascendant, but in years when it is truly different, it offers you a chance to express yourself through a different lens, or filter.

Solar Return Ascendant in Your Natal Chart

The natal house which contains your solar return Ascendant needs close inspection for it is through this portal that you will express yourself in that year.

The Solar Return Sun

“Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns”

The Importance of the Solar Return Sun

The whole concept of solar return charts hinges on the Sun.

The Sun’s position in the natal chart dictates the Sun’s position in the solar return chart every year.

It follows that the Sun is the most important feature to be considered, not by sign (as it is the same as the natal) but by house and aspect.

Pattern of the Sun’s House Placement in Subsequent Solar Return Charts

Astrologers love patterns.

Having a pattern somehow makes astrology seem like it is part of a big plan.

Whose plan, we may not be sure, but a plan anyway.

The Solar Return Sun by House

Each year the solar return Sun will be in a different house of the solar return chart.

The solar return Sun moves through the houses in a particular pattern by type of house.

After around ten years, moves into the next kind of house (angular, succedent and cadent), eventually placed in each of the twelve houses in turn.

The pattern is loosely the angular houses (first, tenth, seventh and fourth), then the succedent houses (second, eleventh, eighth and fifth) and then the cadent houses (third, twelfth, ninth and sixth).

In this way the Sun may cover the whole twelve houses over a thirty year stretch.

This pattern is reliant on you not moving place.

The Solar Return Sun’s House Shift Pattern

This Sun house shift pattern works perfectly under three specific criteria:

If you live on the equator.
If you use the equal house system.
If you never move place.

But, if you use Placidus house system (which I do) or many of the other house systems, then the solar return Sun’s house shift pattern may be slightly out.

This is because the house widths are skewed by many house system cusps.

Relocating from Year to Year

Note: If you move place from one city to another for your solar return (that is your birthday) the pattern will be interrupted.

For around ten years the Sun is in angular houses and then it moves to succedent houses.

For example: You may have three returns with the Sun in the first house or only two returns.

It depends on your chart.

Solar Return Travellers

Therefore, the Sun could feasibly be in your solar return twelfth house for three years out of ten.

This twelfth house’s retiring and private position may or may not suit you.

For this reason, people travel for a better solar return Sun house position.

First the Angular Houses

Sun in first house.

Sun in tenth house.

Sun in seventh house.

Sun in fourth house.

The Succedent Houses

Sun in the second house.

Sun in the eleventh house.

Sun in the eighth house.

Sun in the fifth house.

The Cadent Houses

Sun in the third house.

Sun in the twelfth house.

Sun in the ninth house.

Sun in the sixth house.

The Sun in the Solar Return Houses

The Spotlight is on Each House in Turn

The Sun’s house is very important as it shows which house has a spotlight on it for the forthcoming year.

It is where you can shine in your life.

First House

When the solar return Sun is in your solar return first house it is a year to:

Focus on self-improvement.
Expect physical changes.
Let people get to know you.

When the solar return Sun is in your solar return second house it is a year to:

Improve your personal and core values.

Focus on short courses and learning skills.

Spend time at home.
Stamp your personality on your home.
Identify with your family.

Fifth House

Fall pregnant
Enjoy children and play
Give birth to your creative projects.

Twelfth House

When the solar return Sun is in your solar return twelfth house it is a year to:

Retire and withdraw from life.
Reflect on your life path.
Recharge and replenish your inner self.

Planetary House Emphasis

Any house in the solar return chart that has more than three tenants needs special attention.

The areas of life indicated by the house will be of importance in the following year.

The Importance of the Solar Return Sun’s Aspects

The aspects the solar return Sun makes in the solar return chart (and therefore to the transiting planets at the time) are very important is showing the year’s identity and ego for the individual.

At the exact solar return, the Sun will be transiting the natal chart and triggering all the natal solar aspects that are in the natal chart.

This transiting Sun conjoined the natal Sun tends to recalibrate the meanings of the solar aspects.

The most important Sun aspects in the solar return chart in sequence are:

Conjunctions
Other Ptolemaic aspects; the square, trine, opposition and sextile
Minor aspects; the semi-sextile, quincunx, semi-square and sesquiquadrate
Lesser used aspects such as the quintile, septile and novile
Tip: I usually only consider the conjunction and the Ptolemaic aspects.

Transiting Sun Reinforces the Natal Sun’s Aspects

As the Sun moves into its natal position each year it remakes all the solar aspects that are in the natal chart.

For instance, if you have a natal Sun square Moon, then you will have a transiting Sun square natal Moon at the solar return.

Wellbeing and Astrology

Wellbeing

Five-pointed Star

Life is a journey of growth, expression and meaning. Just as the five-pointed star shines brightly in the night sky, I believe there are five essential elements that shape a satisfying life and they are: Creativity, Love, Vision, Money and Wellbeing. Each of these points represents a key area of life and astrology provides insight into how we navigate them. Creativity fuels our passions, love connects us to others, vision gives us direction, money provides security and opportunity and wellbeing ensures we have the strength to enjoy it all. This week I’ll explore each of these five components which I have incorporated into my astrology practice. I’ll share their astrological influences and how you can cultivate them for a more fulfilling and balanced life.

A Five-Pointed Star

The Essence of a Fulfilling Life

Your personal astrology holds the key to living a satisfying and meaningful life. It offers insights into your strengths, challenges and the unique path you are meant to follow.

Starzology

When I founded my Starzology astrology business, I deliberately chose a name that resonates with the number five, a number deeply embedded in astrology, creativity and personal growth.

5th Sign

The zodiac’s fifth sign, Leo the Lion, holds special significance for me because it’s my own Sun sign and Ascendant sign. Leo is bold, radiant and expressive, embodying the creative fire that drives inspiration and self-expression.

Quintile

In astrology, when we divide a birth chart by five, we uncover the quintile aspect, which is associated with talent, artistic ability and creative gifts. This lesser known but powerful aspect represents the spark of ingenuity that allows us to bring something uniquely our own into the world.

Star

At the heart of my philosophy is the five-pointed star, a timeless symbol of creativity and wholeness. While creativity forms the foundation, a truly fulfilling life requires more than just inspiration. To complete the star, I believe four essential qualities must accompany creativity:

Wellbeing: A healthy body, mind and spirit to support your journey.
Vision: A clear sense of purpose and direction in life.
Love: Meaningful relationships that nurture and inspire.
Money: Financial stability to provide freedom and opportunity.

Together, these five points form the essence of a well-rounded and satisfying life. By embracing the energy of the five-pointed star, you can align with your own creative power while cultivating balance in all areas of life.

Wellbeing

The Foundation of a Fulfilling Life

Wellbeing is at the heart of a vibrant and meaningful life. It goes beyond just physical health—it includes mental, emotional and spiritual balance. In astrology, different planets and houses in your birth chart reveal insights into your overall sense of vitality and harmony. By understanding these astrological influences, you can make conscious choices that support a healthier and more fulfilling life on all levels.

Physical Wellbeing

Your physical body is the vessel through which you experience life and maintaining its strength and resilience is essential.

In astrology, physical wellbeing is primarily linked to:

The First House: The house of self, body and personal vitality. It reflects your energy levels and overall physical constitution.
The Sixth House: The 6th house of health, routines and daily habits. It shows how well you care for yourself and any health concerns you may face.
The Twelfth House: Often linked to hidden health issues, subconscious patterns and the need for rest and retreat.
The Sun: The Sun represents your life force, vitality and energy. Its placement in your chart can indicate how you express and sustain your physical strength.
The Sixth House Ruler: The ruling planet of your sixth house offers additional clues about your health, habits and approach to physical care.

By understanding these astrological influences, you can develop lifestyle habits that support long-term health and energy.

Mental Wellbeing

A clear, focused mind is key to making good decisions, solving problems and navigating life with confidence.

Astrologically, mental wellbeing is connected to:

Mercury: The planet of communication, intellect and thought processes. Mercury’s placement and aspects reveal how you process information and express yourself.
Jupiter: The planet of wisdom, optimism and higher knowledge. A strong Jupiter can bring a positive mindset and resilience, while challenging Jupiter aspects may indicate tendencies toward overthinking or mental restlessness.

By cultivating curiosity, learning new skills and engaging in stimulating conversations, you can nurture your mental agility and adaptability.

Emotional Wellbeing

Our emotions shape our experiences, relationships and sense of inner peace.

In astrology, emotional wellbeing is deeply influenced by:

The Moon: The Moon governs your emotions, intuition and inner world. Its sign, house placement and aspects reveal how you process feelings and seek emotional security.
The South Node: This karmic point, the south node, can indicate past emotional patterns, habits, or emotional baggage that may need healing or release.

Emotional wellbeing involves recognizing and honoring your feelings, building emotional resilience and creating supportive relationships that nurture your soul.

Spiritual Wellbeing

Beyond the physical, mental and emotional realms lies spiritual wellbeing, the deep sense of connection to something greater than yourself.

In astrology, spiritual wellbeing is associated with:

The Ninth House: The 9th house of higher wisdom, philosophy and spiritual beliefs. This house represents your personal search for meaning and truth.
The Twelfth House: The 12th house of transcendence, intuition and the unseen realms. It connects you to your subconscious mind and spiritual experiences.
Neptune: The planet of spirituality, intuition and divine connection is Neptune. A well-aspected Neptune can bring heightened intuition and a sense of unity with the universe, while challenging aspects may indicate escapism or confusion around spiritual matters.
The North Node: This karmic point reveals your soul’s purpose and evolutionary path in this lifetime, guiding you toward spiritual growth.

Spiritual wellbeing comes from practices that align with your soul’s purpose—whether it’s meditation, prayer, nature walks, astrology, or creative expression. It’s about cultivating inner peace, trusting your intuition and recognizing that you are part of a vast and interconnected universe.

Creativity

The Spark of Self-Expression

Creativity is the act of bringing something new into existence, something that wasn’t there before. It is the unique expression of your inner world manifesting into reality. Whether through art, music, writing, speaking, or innovative thinking, creativity is a fundamental part of what makes us human.

In astrology, creativity is symbolized by:

The Fifth House: The 5th house of self-expression, passion, joy and creative projects. It represents how and where you shine creatively.
Leo: The zodiac sign ruled by the Sun, embodying confidence, artistic flair and the courage to stand out.
Quintiles (72° aspect): A quintile is a harmonic aspect associated with talent, inspiration and the natural ability to create something extraordinary.

Creativity in Many Forms

Creativity is not limited to traditional artistic pursuits—it comes in many forms.

If you are a singer, musician, artist, writer, or craftsperson, you bring beauty into the world through artistic expression.
If you are a blogger, YouTuber, podcaster, or speaker, you use words and ideas to inspire, inform and entertain.
If you are an entrepreneur, astrologer, teacher, or problem-solver, you innovate, build and shape new ideas into reality.

No matter how creativity expresses itself in your life, it is a deeply personal and fulfilling journey.

The Joy of Creation

Creative people end each day with the satisfaction of knowing they have brought something new into existence. Whether it’s a painting, a poem, a video, a business idea, or a heartfelt conversation, they can say:

“I created that today.”

Creativity is not just a skill; it is a way of life. It is the willingness to experiment, to take risks and to trust in your unique voice.

Unlocking Your Creative Potential

Your birth chart holds clues to your creative strengths and challenges. By exploring the fifth house, your Sun sign and quintile aspects, you can gain deeper insights into your natural talents and how to nurture them. Creativity is not about perfection, but rather it’s about expression, exploration and joy. When you embrace your creative nature, you step into your power, share your gifts with the world and bring your unique vision to life.

Love

The Heart of a Meaningful Life

Love is a fundamental human need. It nourishes the soul, connects us to others and gives life depth and meaning. Love exists in many forms, each building upon the other to create a fulfilling and compassionate existence.

In astrology, love is symbolized by:

Venus: The planet of love, beauty and relationships, Venus, represents how you give and receive love.
The Fifth House: The 5th house of romance, passion and joyful connections.
The Seventh House: The 7th house of partnerships, marriage and long-term relationships.
The Twelfth House: The 12th house of unconditional love, sacrifice and spiritual connection.

Self-Love: The Foundation of All Love

Before you can truly love others, you must first love yourself.

Self-love is about:

Accepting yourself fully, flaws and all.
Prioritizing your well-being and happiness.
Setting boundaries that honor your needs.
Embracing your uniqueness without comparison.

Self-love is not selfish; it is essential. When you treat yourself with kindness and respect, you create a strong foundation for giving and receiving love in a healthy way.

Love for Others: Deep and Meaningful Connections

Once you cultivate self-love, you can extend that love to others.

Love for others includes:

Romantic Love: A deep emotional connection with a partner, filled with passion, trust and companionship.
Family Love: The bond shared with parents, children and relatives, providing a sense of belonging.
Friendship: The love of chosen family, those who support and uplift you.
Companion Love: If you do not have a special person in your life, you can still experience deep love through pets, community and kindred spirits.

Love for others is about connection, support and mutual respect. When you share love freely, it multiplies and enriches your life.

Universal Love: Embracing All Beings with Compassion

The highest form of love is universal love, the ability to love all people, all creatures and the world itself.

Universal love is:

Compassion for those in need.
Kindness to strangers without expectation.
Love for humanity, regardless of differences.
A sense of unity with the world and all living beings.

When you have self-love and meaningful personal connections, you can extend your love outward to the world. This is the love of humanity, nature and the greater universe.

The Journey of Love

Love is not just a feeling; it is an action, a way of living. It starts with self-love, deepens through connections with others and expands into universal love. When you embrace love in all its forms, you create a life filled with warmth, meaning and true fulfillment.

Vision

The Guiding Light of Your Life

Vision is the ability to see beyond the present moment, to imagine a future filled with possibilities and to set your sights on greater things. It is the inner fire that fuels ambition, exploration and personal growth.

In astrology, vision is symbolized by:

The Ninth House: The 9th house of long-term goals, higher learning, philosophy and travel. It represents the bigger picture of life and the search for meaning.
Jupiter: The planet of expansion, wisdom and optimism. Jupiter encourages you to dream big, take risks and explore the unknown.
Sagittarius: The fire sign ruled by Jupiter is Sagittarius, embodying adventure, curiosity and the quest for truth.

Lifting Your Gaze to the Horizon

When you lift your eyes beyond the immediate concerns of daily life and look toward the horizon, you awaken your vision.

If you desire to travel, to see new places and to experience different cultures, you are embracing the ninth house energy of expansion.
If you seek knowledge, whether through formal education, personal study, or spiritual exploration, you are feeding your Jupiterian hunger for growth.
If you dream of a better future, whether in your career, relationships, or personal development, you are aligning with your higher vision.

Vision is about seeing beyond limitations and believing that something greater is possible.

Your Life-Journey and Vision

Your life is not just a series of random events, but rather it is a journey with a deeper purpose.

Your vision is the guiding force that shapes this journey.

What do you want to achieve?
Where do you want to go, both physically and spiritually?
What legacy do you want to leave behind?

These questions help you refine your vision and set intentions for the path ahead.

Hope: The Eternal Flame of Vision

Even in difficult times, when life feels like a struggle, vision provides hope.

If your daily routine feels dull, you can envision a brighter future and take small steps toward it.
If you feel stuck, you can broaden your perspective by learning, traveling, or engaging with new ideas.
If you have lost your way, you can reconnect with your dreams and set fresh goals.

As the saying goes, hope springs eternal. Vision is what keeps hope alive, reminding you that life is always moving forward and new opportunities are always on the horizon.

Embracing Your Vision

Vision is not just about seeing, it’s about believing, aspiring and taking action. It is the force that propels you toward your dreams and helps you shape a life filled with purpose and meaning. What does your birth chart reveal about your personal vision? Look to your ninth house and Jupiter to discover how you are meant to grow, explore and expand your world.

Money

The Energy of Exchange and Abundance

Money is a fundamental part of life. It is not just paper or numbers in a bank account, but it is energy, freedom and opportunity. Money allows you to survive, thrive and give back to the world in meaningful ways.

In astrology, money is symbolized by:

The Second House: The 2nd house of personal wealth, income and material resources.
The Eighth House: The 8th house of shared wealth, investments and financial transformation.
Your Money Houses and Planets: The special planets in your chart which rule your money houses, are aligned towards finances for the rest of your life.
Venus: The planet of value, luxury and financial attraction is Venus.
Jupiter: The planet of abundance and expansion, Jupiter, which can indicate financial growth and generosity.

Money flows in different stages of life. Understanding these stages can help you develop a healthy relationship with wealth and use it wisely.

Stage 1: Enough Money: Security and Stability

At the most basic level, you need enough money to live comfortably and meet your essential needs.

This includes:

Paying the rent or mortgage.
Putting food on the table.
Covering healthcare and education costs.
Ensuring financial security for yourself and your family.

This stage is about building stability, knowing that you have a solid foundation to support yourself. The second house in your birth chart reveals how you earn money and what financial security means for you.

Stage 2: Extra Money: Growth and Enjoyment

Once your basic needs are met, the next stage is having extra money to enhance your life.

Extra money allows you to:

Travel and experience new cultures.
Invest in higher education or personal development.
Enjoy hobbies, entertainment and a fulfilling social life.
Purchase things, shopping, that bring joy and comfort.

At this level, money becomes a tool for enrichment, expanding your experiences and improving your quality of life. Jupiter’s influence in your chart can indicate areas where you might attract financial abundance.

Stage 3: Contribution Money: Giving Back

The highest level of financial success is not just about personal wealth—it’s about contribution. Once you have enough for yourself, you can start helping others in meaningful ways.

Contribution money can be used to:

Start a business that provides jobs for others.
Fund charities, community projects, or global initiatives.
Support causes you believe in, from education to environmental efforts.
Make monthly donations, even small ones, to help those in need.

The second house in your chart reflects how you share wealth, whether through investments, philanthropy, or creating lasting change.

The Flow of Wealth

Money is not just about having; it is about circulating. The healthiest financial mindset is one that balances earning, spending, saving and giving.

Earning money allows you to create a stable life.
Spending money wisely brings joy and fulfillment.
Saving money ensures long-term security.
Giving money helps make the world a better place.

By understanding your birth chart’s financial indicators, you can align yourself with abundance and purpose, ensuring that money serves you rather than controls you.

Overarch

Bringing It All Together

True wellbeing is a holistic experience that integrates your physical health, mental clarity, emotional stability and spiritual connection. By exploring these fundamentals in your birth chart, you can develop a deeper awareness of your strengths and challenges, helping you align with your higher self. When you nurture all the 5-components of your wellbeing, you create a life that is not only balanced and fulfilling but also purpose-driven and deeply satisfying. These five attributes combined go to make a satisfying life for you. What will you focus on this month?

Synodic Cycles in Astrology

by Alison Price

Synodic Cycles in Astrology

This post covers the principles of superior planet (excluding Mars) synodic cycles, and how they can be interpreted in a meaningful way for use in your astrology practice today.

Find out each planetary pair’s birth poin,t and where they fall in your chart.

See where we are in each cycle by phase.

Explore how the seeds of each cycle are played out over the years.

Synodic Cycles

Synodic cycles refer to the relationship between any two planets. A synodic cycle starts at the conjunction between two planets.

The chart for the conjunction shows the nature of the cycle as it unfolds.

The phases in which the planets are found describes the type of circumstances that can unfold during the phase.

Aspect Set for Synod Conjunction in the Natal Chart

Only use Ptolemaic aspects as follows:

Conjunction – orb 8°
Sextile – orb 4°
Square – orb 8°
Trine – orb 8°
Opposition – orb 8°

Synods

The word synod is from the Greek, synodos, which means “a traveling together”

Outer Planet Stellium

The last triple conjunction between the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) occurred at 8° through 11° Taurus, approximately between 576 and 575 B.C.

This was when Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, made a conjunction in Taurus. This triple conjunction occurs only every 120,000 years. This makes it the only one that relates to human evolution.

It was the most powerful stellium that has occurred in human history and heralded the beginning of writing, art and mathematics.

Uranus Neptune Pluto

This cycle represents an overlying patterning of collective human experience on a very long-term basis. The last mutual conjunction of these three planets was in 578-575 BCE in a very close succession of just a few years. Around this time the world reached a crucial junction point and some of history’s greatest teachers were alive around then.

Triple Conjunction Graphic Ephemeris

The graphic ephemeris at 90 for the triple conjunction that occurred in 576/575 BCE.

How to read this Graphic Ephemeris

The top x-axis has time and shows the years 576-574BCE.

The y-axis shows the cardinal signs from the top then fixed sign and then mutable signs. The sign Taurus is indicated and the three outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and indicated by their glyph and the wavy lines are the planets actual movement through the zodiac.

Where two lines cross is a conjunction between two planets.

The three did not actually come to an exact conjunction but with an eight-degree orb for conjunctions, they are within orb for many months.

Working with Synodic Charts

Casting the Conjunction chart

When you cast the conjunction chart you have several options for each conjunction.

Previous conjunction

If there is only one conjunction, then that is the chart to read.

If there were three, five or conjunction then the last chart of the series is the chart you read.

Next conjunction

If there will be one conjunction, then read that chart.

If there will be a triple or multiple conjunctions (and therefore more than one chart) read the first chart until the conjunctions have passed and then read the final chart.

New Book Coming Soon

My new book “Synodic Cycles – Astrological Echoes from the Past” is in the final editing stages and will be published later this year.

It is a guide to working with synodic cycles in your charts and the chart of your clients.

The Part of Fortune

There is a tide in the affairs of men,

which taken at the flood,

leads on to fortune.

~ Shakespeare

The Part Of Fortune

The Part of Fortune is a point in a birth chart.

There are may components in a birth chart like planets, aspects, houses, signs and points.

A chart point is a place in space and there is not an entity there like a planet.

Chart points usually displayed are the Lunar Nodes, the Vertex and the Part of Fortune.

This Post covers the basics of the Part of Fortune in your chart.

Points

The Part of Fortune is known as one of the Arabic parts in astrology. There are many other Arabic parts like the Part of Marriage and the Part of Divorce for example.

The Arabic Parts are also known as Greek Lots.

Pin this image to your Pinterest board.

The Part of Fortune Meaning

In a chart the poistion of the Part of Fortune represents the following:

Indicates good luck, grace and favor.
Suggests ease of wealth.
The house and sign indicate the quality of the fortune.
Consider the planetary ruler (of the sign) and its condition.

Calculating the Part of Fortune

There are two methods of calculating the position of the Part of Fortune whcih depends on your chart.

If you were born when the Sun is above the horizon it is a Daytime chart, if you were born when the Sun is below the horizon it is a nighttime chart.

Day and Night Charts

Daytime chart

A daytime chart is one where the Sun is placed above the horizon (in the south).

In a daytime chart the Part of Fortune is found where the Moon would be if the Sun were on the ascendant.

Nighttime chart

A night-time chart is one where the Sun is placed below the horizon (in the north).

In a nighttime chart the Part of Fortune is found where the Sun would be if the Moon were on the ascendant.

Calculation

There are two ways to calculate the Part of Fortune using the longitude degrees of the Sun, Moon and Ascendant

In a daytime chart

ASC – Sun + Moon = Part of Fortune

In a nighttime chart

ASC + Sun – Moon = Part of Fortune

Calculation Examples

Example: Ascendant at 10° Gemini, Moon at 20° Virgo, and Sun at 15° Aquarius.

Ascendant’s position 10° + 60° = 70°

Moon’s position 20° + 150° = 170°

Sun’s position 15° + 300° = 315°

Daytime Chart Calculation

If: ASC + Moon – Sun = Part of Fortune

Then: 70° + 170° – 315° = POF

-75° = POF

-75° + 360° = POF

285° = POF

(Capricorn 270°) so 285° – 270° = POF

Capricorn 15° = Part of Fortune

Nighttime Chart Calculation

If: ASC – Moon + Sun = Part of Fortune

Then: 70° – 170° + 315° = POF

215° = POF

(Scorpio 210°) so 215° – 210° = POF

Scorpio 05° = POF

The PoF and Money

The Part of Fortune has much to say about financial issues because in our society money is fortune.

That is not to say that your fortune cannot come in other guises like fortunate spouses, children or friends.

That fortune is often better when it is not financially related is quite clear to many New Age travelers.

We will consider the Part of Fortune as a financial indicator in your chart.

The Condition of the Part of Fortune

The Part of Fortune is well placed for finances when it is:

In a money house – 2nd, 5th, 8th or 11th^.
In Taurus or Libra – Venus’ signs.
Conjoined the Sun.
Conjoined Venus or Jupiter.
Trine Venus or Jupiter.
Sextile Venus of Jupiter.
In an angular house 1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th.
Trine the ruler of the second house or the other money houses.

The Part of Fortune is poorly placed when it is:

In a cadent house – 3rd, 6th, 9th or 12th.
Square or opposite the traditional malefic planets (Mars or Saturn).
Has a retrograde sign ruler.

Sign

The sign that the part of fortune is in shows the nature of the fortune in line with the meaning of the sign.

Sign Ruler

The planet that rules the sign – the dispositor of the part of fortune may help or hinder the fortune.

More on the NEW MOON and the PART OF FORTUNE

Aspects to the Part of Fortune

The Part of Fortune is an interesting point of the astrological puzzle.

A thorough understanding of the main parts of a chart are needed to understand the Part of Fortune.

The Part of Fortune is one of those things that, if it is not well-placed, it does nothing and if it is well-placed will do much for the person whose chart it is.

Conjunctions

Any planet conjoined the part of fortune will influence the nature of the fortune.

This is the powerful influence for the person’s fortune.

A conjunction to the part of fortune can sometimes overshadow the sign and the sign ruler because the planet is well-placed.

Oppositions the Squares

Either an opposition or a square from any planet to the part of fortune will modify the nature of the fortune.

This shows challenges along the way towards your fortune.

Squares and opposition from Mars or Saturn will be detrimental to easy money flow.

You will have to overcome monetary hurdles in life and income will probably improve with age.

Trines and Sextiles

Either a trine or a sextile from any planet to the part of fortune will modify the nature of the fortune to your benefit.

Venus trine the part of fortune indicates wealth in general.

This person is fortunate indeed.

Pluto trine the part of fortune may bring wealth from others.

This placement will alleviate most debt raised.

Closest (tightest) Ptolemaic Aspect to the Part of Fortune

The closest Ptolemaic aspect to the Part of Fortune, the meaning of the aspect and the planet making the aspect, is of vital important and indicates the nature of the fortune.

Medical Astrology

by Alison Price | Advanced Natal Astrology

In MEDICAL astrology, each sign is related to some parts of the human body. Starting with Aries at the head, going to Pisces at the feet.

This Month’s Horoscope Overview

The Starzology monthly horoscope overview provides all the ingresses, stations and lunations for each month with a short interpretation.

Uranus in Gemini

In astrology, URANUS moves into GEMINI in 2025, kicking off a seven-year cycle focused on innovation, fresh ideas, and bold new ways of thinking.

Conjunction

The Conjunction Aspect

The conjunction is a major aspect and also known as a Ptolemaic aspect.

Two planets close to each other are conjunct. The orb for a conjunction is 8° only.

This is a good placement for most planets as the two planets blend their energies and you can benefit from this joining of forces.

First harmonic

The circle divided by one. 360°/1 = 360°

Usually, planets in conjunction will be in the same sign or house.

Disassociate conjunctions

When a conjunction occurs over a sign boundary they are said to be in a disassociate conjunction.

For instance, if the Sun is at 29 Virgo and the Moon is at 4 Libra they are still conjunct, but in a disassociate conjunction.

Conjunction Aspect Meaning

The conjunction is the most powerful aspect.

Blends It inclines the two planets towards togetherness and blends their energies.

Synergy The planets virtually move as one and they have synergy. Synergy means one plus one equals three. Each planet is indistinguishable from the other.

Close proximity They show the same face to the world. Because of their close proximity, it is hard for the first planet in the conjunction to clearly see the second planet and vice versa.

Conjunctions with other planets

Sun conjunctions add life to the other planet.

Moon conjunctions combine a reactive element to the other planet.

Mercury conjunctions combine a learning element to the other planet and suggest what is spoken about.

Venus conjunctions show what is loved and invested in.

Mars conjunctions bring energy to the other planet.

Jupiter conjunctions expand the other planet.

Saturn conjunctions restrict the other planet.

Uranus conjunctions bring a unique element to the other planet.

Neptune conjunctions dissolve the meaning of the other planet.

Pluto conjunctions bring power and support to the other planet.
