Timers in Astrology

When creating an Astrology chart report and deciphering the aspects, there are several areas in the chart along with planetary influences that trigger events.  Some of these points or intensity areas of the chart which define activity are the:

1. Midheaven (MC or Medium Coeli tilted vertical axis in your chart from the 4th house cusp),

2. Ascendant (AC which is the rising sign),

3. IC (Imum Coeli which is opposite the Midheaven tilted vertical axis in your chart from the 10th house cusp); and

4. DC or Descendant (opposite the AC). 

These areas in Astrology often indicate areas of activity and when linked with planetary influences will often depict timing of activities.

The closer a planet moves into aspect to these zones, the stronger the potential for something to happen as described by the area of activity.  The planetary link and the aspect that these planetary links are making to those sensitive points will determine what takes place.  Activities often take place when these aspects are direct or exact and the areas of life indicate what will be affected.  (For example if the MC is affected, the area of life affected could be your occupation.  If the DC is activated, the activity could have something to do with relationships).

These are timing factors when an Astrologer is deciphering a Natal chart.  Transits (moving planets) also promote activity in the Birth chart at specific times.  These planets include the transiting Sun, transiting Mars, transiting Uranus as well as the progressed Moon.  These celestial bodies intensify activities and often are used conjointly with other aspects taking place in the chart to determine the timing of actual events.  Uranus and Mars are particularly powerful as each one pushes us into action.

The outer planets (including Pluto) are significant in that they are in aspect for several years.  They are often felt up to 5 degrees approaching and as far away as 2 to 3 degrees separating.  Using the outer planets alone will make it very hard to come up with the exact timing of events although as mentioned earlier the closer to exact the aspect the more powerful is its influence. 

The inner planets (including the Sun) move rapidly through the zodiac and will only have an impact on the days they are direct.  As a result, it becomes easier to define when an exact time is appropriate for activity.

The progressed Moon moves one degree per month, taking 2 1/2 years to move through a sign.  The progressed Moon’s influence is powerful for a full three months but intensifies in the middle month and can also be found when areas of life are being activated.

Using these timing influences, we can determine relatively closely when events will happen; however, there are always other mitigating factors, such as Saturn as it delays the activity, or Uranus as it causes impulsive actions.  One thing is certain with Uranus - you can expect the unexpected. 

Some of the planetary sign positions also play a part in the equation.  Capricorn and Virgo often delay activity because of the need to re-define and to ensure it is best to make a move, while Aries and Gemini will push things forward into action.

All these influences are used in determining the type of activity anticipated and will determine who, when and in what fashion the energies of the activity might play out.  Some planets are very forceful in their actions, such as Pluto and Uranus, while other planets are laid back and reserved or slow in their action, such as Saturn and Neptune.  It should, however, be understood that in most cases Astrology indicates activity in life, but our reaction to these events will determine the effect that they will have on us.

Do You Speaking Your Truth?

Express yourself in an open and clear manner with no regrets.  This is not to say that you should talk without some type of forethought.  Speak your truth with respect and love.  Do not be afraid of other people’s reaction to your truth.  Do not be upset if other people do not seem to understand what you speak of.  Some will be open to receive it and others will not.

We should always respect that others may not be able to hear our truth.  In their defence, who are we to say that they are not in a completely alternatives state which is perfect for their life’s lessons at this point.  Our statements or belief structures hold truth for us.  Some will be on a similar path to us but others will have their own unique path.

We all learn from our lives’ adventures and through these adventures, we gather information essential to our growth.  By being faithful to our own truth, our example will mirror our inner truth.  If we speak one way but act in another, we are not speaking our ultimate truth nor are we living within the realms of that truth.  We can speak our truth as much as we want, but if we are not living it, how can we call it truth? 

We are human.  We WILL stumble and fall but these stumbles are valuable lessons.  Human earthly consciousness is not eternal, but does have its part to play. 

Accept your true nature and understand the importance of speaking your truth but more importantly understand that it is of utmost important to walk your truth.  This is your tool to growth.  Others will use their own unique learning tools that are appropriate for their journey.

Live your ultimate truth.  Be your ultimate truth.  Do not be ashamed of your truth.

Pluto's Role in Our Lives

Pluto plays a significant role in our lives regardless of its new classification as a dwarf planet by NASA.  Some individuals question if it should still be used in Astrology chart analysis.  It is this Astrologer’s opinion that regardless of its size classification, it has not lost its significance in Astrology chart readings and it plays a very significant role.

Pluto regenerates and revolutionizes our lives as does the other outer planets; yet Pluto’s influence is more powerful than most.  When it is time to review our lives and transcend from previous conditions, Saturn and Uranus have their part to play, but the agent of change is often the energies of Pluto.  Pluto transforms our lives and its influence is not something that we can take lightly.  Its impact is often subtle in the beginning but becomes more apparent as time passes.  Pluto’s impact is so powerful that it often takes several years to fully comprehend its influence on conditions in our lives.

Pluto causes you to face reality in a more powerful way than any other planet and forces you to dig deep before there is any chance of regeneration and transition to take place.  It can be quite disruptive in action similar to the energies of Uranus.  Uranus’ action, however, is usually instant and you cannot prepare for what is about to take place.  You do not even really know how Uranus will affect you, but one thing for sure is that the unexpected will happen. 

Pluto does not suggest that you reflect and take notes.  Pluto demands action and if you choose not to react appropriately, it fosters change and transformation in a more aggressive ways than its first demand for change.

Pluto is important in many ways.  It opens the door for required change and puts an end to conditions that no longer serve a purpose.  It is evolutionary in its design and will help you facilitate the growth that is required in your life.  Pluto is a powerful agent for change and transformation.  When it crosses your Ascendant or MC, you will realize its presence.  Life will undergo massive changes and the changes are designed to move you in the direction that is appropriate for you evolutionary growth during that point in time.

Once Pluto is activated in your life, it is hard to ignore.  When Pluto has completed its cycle, things will pass away or be massively transformed.  Pluto will not be ignored and helps you to uncover any deeper facets that need to surface, either by challenged or by removing them from your life.  It is a necessary ingredient for evolutionary growth and its influence is very powerful and affluent for your life’s progress.

Pluto transforms, regenerates, and underlines all of life’s complexities.  It forces you to make alterations and often presents you with obstacles or challenging conditions to help you facilitate this growth.  Pluto is often present during times of death as it is suggestive to transformation on the highest level of existence.  It propels individuals to the next stage of evolution beyond that of the physical reality.  Pluto is never a negative factor.  It always has its place and is a required element in our lives. 

When Pluto is activated in your chart, be ready for transformation and know that you are in the right place at the right time for this to take place.  Welcome Pluto’s impact into your life and take in all the energies and life changing elements that it offers.

The Interchange of Understanding

Knowledge is either gained through others (verbally, written, intuitive, etc.) or the experience of life.  The school of life is undoubtedly the greatest teacher although one might be familiar and very educated through the written word.  There are many who are book smart and have educated themselves through various learning techniques.  This should be used in harmony with life’s teaching to produce a very viable and conclusive life education.

As we begin the process of gathering knowledge, it is important to utilize these learning tools in such a way that it not only facilitates growth on an individual level, but also invites others to open channels to learning that might otherwise be closed to them.  As knowledge was never intended to be stored away for safe keeping, we must share our insights with others once we truly understand the relevance of the knowledge.  Remember, however, the best teacher teaches through example.

Books and writings are especially significant to the author.  The initial opening up to and understanding of the concepts and truths revealed in writings are always for the writer first.  The information then is delivered to the outside world.  Most creative or spiritual writings come from higher sources first and are then transcribed.  The receivers/authors then integrated their own additional information.

Believing that the written material comes exclusively from oneself is simply ego.  We have a connection with spirit and can join forces with these energies to formulate transcripts that can be shared with others.  As our writing practices progress, it becomes apparent that much of the information comes from higher sources and our input becomes less and less.  Eventually, we become aware that we are simply the conduit for information.

How often have you been in intense conversation and felt or received from outside of your own mental capacity?  How often do you seem to find the perfect words to get a point across or comprehend a subject which you normally could not comprehend?  We all share in this regularly but may not consciously realize it.  Ego wants to accept control and we hold on to the feelings that are generated through the ego’s interaction. 

Understanding and knowing comes when we realize the interaction that takes place on many levels throughout our lives is initiated from either our higher self or energy of a higher nature.  We are being showered with intuitive understanding throughout our busy day.  We are receptors and unknowingly direct this intuitive based feedback into conversations on a regular basis.  Because of this, it is important to truly pay attention to the dialogue that is taking place on a higher level.

Understanding this connection to spirit also opens the channels of communication even further.  Sharing this knowledge and information not only enlightens others but also enhances the life experience for ourselves. 

Pay attention to your inner dialogue and utilize the information being offered.  Know that it is always intended for you first.

The Teacher and the Student

There are many individuals born to be teachers who will cross our paths during life.  They come into our lives bearing the knowledge and truths that we need to hear for that moment in our lives.  Some enter quickly but leave us just as quickly.  Some teachers are part of our lives for years.  Some are significant to us for very apparent reasons but these important teachers’ time with us can last only minutes.  Most of our teachers are with us in our lives on a regular basis. 

As we mature into ourselves, we teach our children just as our parents taught us.  Then as we begin to age our children in many ways become our teachers.  They teach us on many levels.  We can see our reflection in them and realize how we helped shape who they are now, or even possibly how we disrupted their growth in some way.  There are times when they teach us valuable lessons but it can be difficult to stand back and accept the information that they are providing because of our egos.  We are accustomed to being the ones assisting our children as they grow, not the other way around.

Our spouses are probably one of our more important teachers and we receive knowledge from them on an ongoing basis.  We are always learning from each other.  This is why we have been brought together or at least part of the reason.  We also come as a couple to experience life together and share our love and appreciation for one another.  There will be times when we will be faced with issues and confrontations, but if we let go of our ego and stay open, we will allow the growth from these lessons to take hold.

Life is the greatest teacher of all.  When we are faced with challenges and even tragedies in our lives we often wonder what possible good could come from these experiences.  Yet upon reflection, we come to realize that the lessons although hard learned were valuable.  These challenging conditions that we are faced with from time to time can be very testing.  These conditions can be heart wrenching; but we cannot deny that on other occasions during life, events could not be sweeter.  Grab hold of all these moments for they cumulatively make us who we are today.

There are many life lessons that we have to experience and the everyday experiences that we so often take for granted are very important too.  Take the time to reflect on our experiences and utilize what we have learned.  Be sure to take the time to stop and smell the roses along life’s busy road.  Being here in the moment and experiencing each moment as it happens is the key to truly living life. 

Take hold of the lessons learned.  Handle life with loving care.  Enjoy all of life’s lessons, even the challenging ones because we know that those are the ones that have the biggest impact.  Above all else be happy with each and every life experience and know that they are meant for us to experience and learn from.  We are here to experience and to balance the student and the teacher within us.

Composite Astrology Charts

The Astrology Composite chart is a report that provides information on the interaction of two individuals as a couple, either through a romantic relationship or business partnership.  This chart can also be used to determine the union between any two individuals, such as a parent/child relationship.  The Composite charts define any personal relationship between any two given individuals.

The chart is determined by the birth chart of the two individuals and the midpoint between each planetary placement as well as the midpoint between the ascendants and midheavens.  An example of this would be someone having their Sun in Capricorn at 15 degrees and someone else having their Sun at 25 degrees Aquarius.  There are forty degrees between the two solar locations and dividing this in half, you would have 20 degrees, making the midpoint 5 degrees Aquarius.  You would include the minutes as well as the degrees to come up with a midpoint .  This is completed for the Moon’s midpoint and all the other planets midpoints, as well as the ascendant’s and midheaven’s midpoints.  Most astrological sites will provide you with this chart as long as you have the correct birth times for each individual involved.

Upon completion, you now have one chart which could be viewed as an auxiliary natal chart which describes the union of the two individuals involved.  This chart describes the assets and the challenges that are apparent within the relationship.  It describes how the two interact as a couple internally as well as externally.  Much of the overall condition of the relationship can be defined as well as its apparent attributes and how the two will mingle and interact as a unit.

Many desire to have this chart completed when beginning a meaningful relationship or starting a business partnership.  It provides a comprehensive look at the overall compatibility between these individual and if there are deficiencies within the union.  There are always strengths and weaknesses apparent within all horoscopes, and this chart defines those particulars.  If applied in a unified and appropriate fashion, the information this chart would contain can promote a lasting and opportunistic union that so many individuals seek.

Although this type of chart is very descriptive and definitive, as always, we have free will.  If both parties are willing to make compromises within the union, the chances for survival and longevity of the relationship will have greater potential than if one of the parties decides not to function on a level that the relationship needs to survive.  This chart details will identify such shortcomings and apparent roadblocks that can be met and possibly conquered during the forming of any relationship.  This chart also offers potential solutions for shortfalls within the union that once recognized can be faced head-on, challenged and then overcome, that is again if both parties are willing to make adjustments for the betterment of the union.

Some relationships contain all of the ingredients for a long and loving partnership or prosperous venture, while others seem to present the individuals with obstacles and challenges that will require appropriate action in order for success of the union.

Investigate the potential between any two charts and discover how they meld with each other.  You can gain insight and assistance that will assist in alleviating or activating the potential that will enhance the relationship and produce the ultimate outcome.
