When reviewing an astrology chart and
deciphering the aspects, there are several areas in the chart as well as planetary
influences that are trigger for events.
Some of these specific points in the chart or intensity areas of the
chart that define activity are the Midheaven, the Ascendant, the IC and the DC
or Descendant. These specific areas
indicate activity and when linked with planetary influences will often depict
times of activity.
The closer a planet moves into aspect to
these areas, the stronger the potential for something happening, pertaining to
the active area. The planetary link and
the aspect that these planetary links are making to these sensitive points will
determine what actual event that will take place. Activities often take place when these
aspects are direct or exact and the areas of life may indicate the areas that
will be affected (for example if the MC or Midheaven is affected it might be
the occupation, if the DC or Descendant is activated in could have something to
do with relationships, etc.).
These can also be timing factors when we
are deciphering a natal chart. We also
have transits (moving planets) which also promote activity in the birth chart at
these specific times. These planets
include the transiting Sun, transiting Mars, transiting Uranus as well as the
progressed Moon. These planets seem to
intensify activity and often are used in conjunction with other aspects taking
place in the chart which help to determine the timing of actual events. Uranus and Mars are particularly powerful as
each one pushes us into action.
The outer planets are significant in that
they are in aspect for several years as they are often felt up to 5 degrees
approaching and 2 to 3 degree separating.
Using these alone will make it very hard to come up with the exact
timing of events although as mentioned, the closer to exact the aspect the more
powerful its influence. The inner
planets (Sun, Mars) move rapidly through the zodiac and will only have an
impact on the actual days during which they are direct. Therefore it becomes easier to define when an
exact time is appropriate for that specific 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 delaying the activity, or Uranus and
its impulsive action taking control. One
thing is for sure, Uranus’ influence will cause you to expect the
unexpected.
Some of the planetary sign positions also
play a part in the equation, as Capricorn and Virgo often delay activity
because of the need to re-define and make sure that 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 and when
and in what fashion the energies of the activity might take place. 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 be understood that astrology can
pinpoint activity in our future, but when the event occur, it is our reaction
to these events that will determine the effect that they will have on us and
our life in general.
