Astrological Archaeology

A few days ago I spoke of layers present in the natal chart.

Circumstances of the past life can be seen via South Node and the 12th house.  ( More on that later.)

Another example of peeling back the layering: Saturn not only indicates your restrictions, your work style, it also indicates your father (along with Sun).

Moon indicates your feelings, where you fluctuate, the public, women and the mother.

The Cardinal sign, Aries, is the sign on the natural first house of the zodiac – it is spring equinox, the start of the western astrological wheel.

So if you have another sign rising on the first house, consider Aries as the landlord of that house and your Rising sign as the tenant.  This is also true of the remaining houses – Taurus is the natural Landlord of the second house, Venus rules.

For example, I am a Capricorn Rising, with Saturn Rx (rules Capricorn, is my chart ruler) in Aries trine Mars.  So right off I am Cardinal on Cardinal, my Capricorn & Saturn have an Aries flavor and both are very Mars-y.

::::::::::::::

In addition, my Saturn Rx is steeping in the decan of Mars, giving me even more Mars.  

The decan chart is below if you would like to delve deeper into your most highly aspected planet or investigate troublesome areas.

Decans can serve as an enlightenment tool into how your planet is working.  These decans modify the energy of the planet (also check your ASC/DC – IC/MC degrees) and add yet another flavor, another layer to the expression of the planets and angles in your natal chart.

Lives in the lines

Zasu

The human body is made of crystal structures – liquid crystal structures.

We enter earth life tuned by the singing of the hemispheres – the vibrations of the celestial bodies calling to us from the heavens at our time of birth. We are complex crystal prisms shifting and drifting in a cosmic sea of harmonic resonance.

Plato stated, “Every figure, every row of numbers and every assemblage of harmonious sounds, and the accordance of the cycles of the celestial bodies and the One as an analogy for all which is manifesting itself must become exceedingly clear to him who is searching in the right manner. That of which we speak will however come to light if one strives to recognize all, while not losing sight of the One. It is then that the connecting link of the ones named will come to light.

The path of all harmonies leads and blends into the ONE, or Tao.
:::::::::::::::

When holding a printed copy of your natal chart in your hand, it may appear static, one dimensional, limited.

This is the beauty of its simplicity.
Is the desert without life ?
Only to the casual observer.
For those who shift focus . . . life and more life.

Imagine your personal prism . . . choices that have approached you throughout your life.  How you chose to respond was your vibration, your wavelength at the time.  These choices and growth spurts are echoes of the hemispheres – for we are ONE with the cosmos.  The growth we experience through each stage of life is attended by an audience of celestial bodies.

Recognize the chakra centers ? 
Muladhara (root) increases to the higher octave Sahasrara (crown) on the right.

Think of your living crystals this way – wavelengths and vibrations.
Think of your natal chart this way as well.
Shift focus – like tweaking a lenticular image – and you will literally see another dimension to your natal map.
A higher vibration – another octave – you will hear, see new notes.

::::::::::::::::

Let me explain . . .
I have Saturn Rx in Aries 3 trine Mars in Sagittarius. 
The prominent life – long big whopper standard interps for me equal:

I have stamina (Mars) over the long haul (Saturn / time).
Absence of the father growing up. (Saturn Rx)

Reading and writing (Saturn in 3rd, learning) and expanding my spiritual horizons (Sagittarius, higher learning and spiritual) are places where I apply force (Mars).

Shift focus, and the trivial weird stuff can be seen:

Lousy typist (Saturn restricts the hand movements – 3rd rules hands).
Pretty zen unless I am behind the wheel (3rd house is commuting) and other drivers disregard obvious traffic patterns (3rd house – patterns) then I fume (Mars).
Inked (Saturn / permanent, 3rd writing) on hand.  (mystical, Sag)
Scars on hand (3rd house) from burns and stabbing. (Mars)
Prone to headaches (Saturn restriction in head), will not headbutt (talk to the hand).

:::::::::
This is why I think everyone should study astrology – it is the best personal enlightenment tool I have seen to date.  Opportunities for insights are limitless ~
:::::::::

The cool thing is the natal map can describe others who are in your circle as well.
(That’s what I was going on about in my last post – I saw someone in my aspects !)

Saturn (and Sun) rule the father. 
Here is how my Dad shows up in my chart.
(I am Saturn in Aries 3 trine Mars in Sag ::  Virgo Sun conj Uranus / Pluto)

My Dad worked (Saturn) as a purchasing agent, on the phone all the time – sales. (3rd house is communication)
He medalled in track (Mars Sag) many times.

He lived many years past the date his cancer doctor predicted he would. (Saturn trine Mars)   This is also indicated by my Sun (father, life, fame or prominent in some way) conjunct Uranus (unusual or curious) Pluto (death).
Neat freak. (Sun Virgo stellium)
:::::::::::::

Incredibly groOovy that the course written in the life map is so simple, yet infinitely complex, textured and rich like a prism refracting light into rainbows . . . yes . . ?

micro epiphanies

 


Last night I was deep in thought staring at my natal chart
::: brilliant epiphany :::
I have been studying a new form of divination
forming my own intuitive impressions on keywords.
Then it hit me.

Thunder & Lightning

It’s how I think  ::: how I KNOW 

Virgo Sun (epiphany) conjunct Uranus (knowing, lightning) Pluto (BOOM)

The natal chart can be interpreted just that easily.

BOOM Strike !

In one sentence
I described my 8, 9, 10 house aspects
in relation to the person who is involved with that house in my chart

I was STUNNED.

6 maybe 7 words encapsulated the whole thing
It’s ::: BIG :::  
but i tucked it into a nutshell – how cool is that ?

I love it when the pieces

fall. right. into. place.

micro – macro
interpretation methods : keep it simple
build up the spiral from there

believe

When they ask to see your gods
your book of prayers
show them lines
drawn delicately with veins
on the underside of a bird’s wing
tell them you believe
in giant sycamores mottled
and stark against a winter sky
and in nights so frozen
stars crack open spilling
streams of molten ice to earth
and tell them how you drink
a holy wine of honeysuckle
on a warm spring day
and of the softness
of your mother who never taught you
death was life’s reward
but who believed in the earth
and the sun
and a million, million light years
of being

ACE.

Sun, Mercury, Mars in Taurus. Capricorn Moon, Saturn in Virgo.

Very grounded.
Awesome.

 He was electrocuted onstage in Florida in December of 1976.
Ace nearly died – yet he finished the show.
Earth peeps do have stamina.

Transiting Uranus (electricity) in Scorpio opposite Taurus stellium.

Transiting Saturn Rx (delay / also in this case, ungrounded metal) conjunct natal Pluto (death) in Leo, square natal Mars (accidents) in Taurus.

Transiting Pluto conjunct (4 degrees) natal Neptune (which quintiles natal Venus) in Libra.

 Transiting Sun, Mars, Neptune opposite natal Venus in Gemini (polarities / pairs).

Transiting Venus in Aquarius (electricity, polarities) square natal Mercury (rules Gemini/ hands) in Taurus.
:::::::

Aces in the hole.

Ace had Sun (life, benefic) transiting his solar 8th house (death).
Transit Venus (benefic) in the house of Aquarius (electricity).
Transiting Jupiter Rx (luck) was re-applying to his Taurus (Venus rules) stellium; natal Jupiter quintiles natal Venus (both are benefics).

Jaan Uhelszki, one of the founding editors at Detroit’s legendary Creem magazine interviews Ace. (full story linked below)
::::::
J U: You were electrocuted in 1976 in Lakeland, Florida. Was that before or after you wrote “Shock Me?”

A F: Before; that inspired [“Shock Me”]. That’s something like Paul and Gene don’t even talk about because they don’t want me to get any press about it. And that was a big thing—I almost died. It was a pretty traumatic experience. I mean, I had burns on my fingers. I was knocked out. [My then-wife ] Jeannette was there and I think she had a premonition about it. It was very weird.

Were you any different after you were electrocuted?

I don’t think so. A few days after I was nervous, because I remember reading that … some guy got electrocuted and he died two days later. So I’m saying, am I going to die two days later? Because that was a bad shock.

Was it painful?

Yeah. I mean, I knew it for an instant and then I blacked out. I woke up behind the amplifiers. I said, “I can’t play.” Then the fans started chanting my name and I finished the show. But I had no feeling in my hands. I don’t know how I even did it. I guess it was all *adrenalin. (source)

[*Ace had transiting Mercury (hands) trine natal Mars (adrenaline) in Taurus (stamina).]
