Mutual Reception

Mutual Reception

Mutual Reception

Two planets may be in mutual reception when each planet is in the other planet’s sign.

 

Example: The Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Leo are in mutual reception because the Sun rules the sign of Leo and the Moon rules the sign of Cancer.

 

Technically planets in mutual reception need a Ptolemaic aspect joining them to be considered in mutual reception, but this strict rule can we waived now and then I believe.

A planet in its own sign cannot be in mutual reception with another planet.

Mutual Reception by Sign

When mutual reception by sign occurs, and each planet is in the other planet’s sign, it’s like the two planets have entered the party but it is crowded.

Only at the “aspect” have they found each other in the melee.

Then when it’s a Ptolemaic aspect they fall in love in the Moonlight.

Sigh…

 

Relationships Bonds

When two planets are in mutual reception it creates a bond between them that cannot immediately be seen as with an aspect.

Mutual reception is like a back-channel of energy that flows but you can only see it when you take a closer look.

Like when someone is chatting behind your back to another person and they have an allegiance to them and you don’t realise they are related, like cousins, and that is the connection.

    Conclusion

    And that’s the lot. It is quite a comprehensive list and one chart may or may not have any mutual receptions.

    You may decide to only use the traditional planets from the Sun to Saturn and this would be the case for creating a dispositor tree.

    Aspiring Astrologer Activity: Mutual Reception

    In your astrology journal and using a chart with a mutual reception, please do the following:

    • State the two planets in each other’s sign.
    • Decide if there is a Ptolemaic aspect between them or not.

    Extend Yourself

    • Interpret the mutual reception pair by considering the planets, signs, houses, house rulers, aspect (or not) and possible energy that can be brought forwards as they are in cahoots with each other (100 words).

    The 12 Signs of the Zodiac

    Signs can be categorized by their components of polarity (masculine or feminine), element (fire, earth, air or water) and mode (cardinal, fixed or mutable).

    Signs can be interpreted by these three distinct components in a broad way.

    This time we will take a look at the meaning of each sign in more detail and discover some of the personality traits, body parts, careers, and correlations associated with each sign.

    This is not to say that someone with the Sun in a particular sign will have that specific career, but it shows the inclinations for someone with a strong sign energy, through multiple planets, or if the Midheaven in that sign, to be attracted to the type of a careers and activities associated with the sign.

    The Meaning of the Signs

    Each sign has a different meaning and when a planet is in one sign it will behave differently to when in another sign.

    In your chart the planets will be in a variety of signs.

    The Sun passes through all the tropical signs.

    There are twelve signs of the tropical zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

    The signs start at Aries the first sign and end at Pisces the twelfth sign.

    Jupiter in Leo

    As the planets wander through the sky they change positions against the backdrop of the zodiac.

    This movement can be like a dance as everyone (the planets) take their place and enter the stage.

    At anytime one or two of the planets will take center stage as the others fade into the background for a while.

    Planets in prominent positions may have a story to tell, and we listen.

    This time it is Jupiter as he enters the fifth sign of Leo. A fire planet (Jupiter) in a fire sign (Leo).

    Up there right now the biggest planet in the solar system and the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter, is entering the zodiac sign of the Lion.

    Jupiter in Leo Imagery

    I often use the imagery of a hot air balloon to explain the astrological meaning for Jupiter.

    Balloons are big, brightly coloured and when they drift by you simply can’t miss them. Much like Jupiter.

    The collective noun for balloons is a festival of balloons which brings a fun and exciting element to ballooning. Much like Jupiter.

    They travel on their journey, but to who knows where? Much like Jupiter.

    They are filled with hot air or gas, and balloons will explode if over-filled. Much like Jupiter.

    They often broadcast a message from their sponsors or promote special events (such as at sports events) written in huge letters on the sides of the balloon. Much like Jupiter

    And I would imagine that the people who do take a ride in a hot air balloon say a prayer before launch. Much like Jupiter.

    I have always fancied trusting the woven basket and journeying on a balloon flight and perhaps one day I shall. Much like Jupiter.

    Benefits of Jupiter in Leo

    Jupiter in Leo is especially good news for the fire signs and that means those with strong fire signs present in their birth charts.

    I will tell you I am strongly Leo myself and I have been waiting for a while now for this shift in energy as Jupiter changes sign.

    If you have an Aries, Leo or Sagittarian Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Jupiter or other cluster of planets in these three signs you will benefit during the upcoming year as Jupiter goes through Leo.

    If your business chart has the fire signs emphasized as well your business can experience huge growth now.

    If you are strongly Gemini or Libra you will see some support and some good things. You need to grasp any opportunities fleeting as they may be.

    If you are strongly Taurus, Scorpio or Aquarius could face the difficult side and this may suggest the over excessive situations as mentioned later.

    Those of you with strong Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces may not see much change although you will try to make adjustments this year.

     

    How can you make the most Jupiter in Leo

    Jupiter in Leo is upbeat, positive and outgoing. It encourages taking chances and aiming higher in life.

    Leo is the sign of the theatre and when planets enter the “stage” they will play their roles to perfection.

    Using the theater analogy, Jupiter in Leo can either be the highly colorful swashbuckling much loved hero or he can be an overly costumed blow-hard in a pantomime.

    The down side of Jupiter in Leo can be over-extension, over-doings things and excessive behavior. Or just too much of a good thing.

    Pace yourself and all will be fine.

    Jupiter in Leo, what’s in it for you?

    Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion.

    It has to do with reaching for things just out of your grasp but it is the reaching that is important.

    We like to s-t-r-e-t-c-h ourselves when Jupiter is active.

    You can lift your eyes to gaze at your horizons.

    Now is the time to aspire towards previously laughable dreams. Dust off your visions and start to believe.

    When Jupiter is prominent by transit, and if it contacts your chart, you can raise your profile and aim for more in life.

    Jupiter will support activities in broadcasting, promotion (self and business), publishing, gaining knowledge (as opposed to information), adult education, religious temperance, international travel and cosmopolitan situations.

    Jupiter in Leo reinforces the theatre and daily dramas. See them for what they are.

    Summertime and the Living is Easy – Sun in Leo

    Summertime and the Living is Easy – Sun in Leo

    by 

    by Alison Price

    Life Comes in Cycles 

    One of the more obvious cycles is the seasonal changes you experience as the Sun moves through the zodiac when it enters a cardinal sign every three months.

    This is the start of the four seasons.

    The Zodiac Year

    The year begins as the Sun enters the first sign of Aries and spring officially begins. Summer starts as the Sun enters Cancer around July 21st. Autumn is ushered in late September and winter draws in from December 21st at the Sun’s ingress to Capricorn.

    Midsummer – Sun in Leo – What to expect

    

Here we are in the early degrees of Leo. It is just about mid-summer. But what can we expect?

    That depends on whether you have a strong Leo presence in your chart from planets or your Ascendant or your Midheaven is placed in the sign.

    Or, if you have a chart where there is no Leo influence at all and you have zero planets or angles in the sign of the Lion. 

    

If you do have a natal Leo influence

    As the Sun moves through its own sign it will connect with any planets or chart points in Leo.



    This will stimulate that planet or point and you will become aware of creative potentials as suggested by the strength of the contact,

    Having Leo planets already in your natal chart will be reinforced as the Sun comes through. Things can become over-the-top but to express your individuality is key this month.

    If you do not have a natal Leo influence

    When the Sun transits Leo, and if you have no Leo signature in your chart, it becomes an opportunity for you to experience your inner child and express yourself in ways in which you would not normally.



    Yes, at times it can get dramatic and loud but it can also be a lot of fun.

    Summer is always good to kick back, relax and when you can be the star in your own life production.

    It is a great time for a vacation or at least relaxing at home lying barefoot in a hammock. 

    Everyone

    Enjoy the simple pleasures of sunbathing, sun-downers (drinks at sunset) and sunbeams playing in your windows. Be kind to yourself. Soak it up and make the most of the Sun in Leo.

    You can’t keep up a punishing work pace all year. Even the tireless practitioners amongst you need a break from your grueling schedule of clients, preparations, and research.

Don’t be too hard on yourself.

    You can’t be going at full tilt all year.

    Going forward into Virgo

    Face September with renewed enthusiasm and bring your relaxed and refreshed self to your business and clients.

    Alison
