Synastry Aspects
Synastry is the art of using aspects between natal charts to describe connections between two people. We look at this after first determining each persons relationship needs by studying their natal charts. It is essential to look at both charts first because you really do need to know what the other persons planets are plugging into. Person A’s planets will work like a permanent transit on person B’s planets when they are together, so its important to see just what this planet is triggering in the others chart. This is why reading synastry aspects in isolation can give a false impression. For example, a couple may have the Venus conjunct Mars aspect in their synastry. Bingo! But hey, what if that Mars is aggravating an already seething Venus? What if B’s Venus is on the star Algol and conjunct Pluto? Ouch! All that blissful, romantic sexual compatibility could be blown away by extreme obsession, jealousy and even abuse. This may actually be OK if both partners are rather Plutonian, they could even channel this energy into S & M, making it cathartic and healing for them both. So again you need to keep in mind the basic personalities of each partner. When we look […]
Madeleine McCann Abduction
Madeleine McCann 2011 Astrology, News Update New Book. In May 2007 four year old Madeleine McCann disappeared from her Portugal hotel apartment while her parents dined in a nearby restaurant. Kate and Gerry McCann were part of a group of professional parents who regularly holidayed together and who all left their small children alone at night in this manner, checking on them regularly. The whole case was suspicious and strange right from the start. Four years on this crime remains unsolved. Madeleine’s parents insisted immediately that she had been abducted by a pedophile. Other astrologers have looked at this, seen Ceres’s involvement and assumed this to be true. But it’s not that simple as you will see. It all really boils down to the word of two British doctors against the“incompetent” Portuguese police and a couple of cadaver dogs. Gonçalo Amaral headed the investigation, he concluded Madeleine died in the apartment, his book was banned in Britain because the McGanns have deemed it libelous, but you can read the ebook here online [1]. Now approaching the anniversary of Madeleines disappearance, the McGanns are about to release a book of their own. Let’s first have a look at the chart for the supposed “Abduction”. […]
The Royal Wedding
Synastry astrology chart for William and Kate, Royal Wedding, Marriage Horoscope. The wedding date has been set! The marriage of the royal couple is on April 29 2011, start time 11:00 am, Westminster Abbey. In this post, Jamie looks at the horoscope for the wedding ceremony and the aspects to William and Kate’s Charts, then Marina looks at the synastry between the royal couple. THE WEDDING The Sun trine Pluto is favorable indicating the power of this couple, obviously they have a magnetically attractive quality. The Moon is tightly square the Lunar Nodes so relationships between families may be a cause of tension, especially among the women. Communication in the marriage is ruled by Mercury, and this is opposite Saturn so there is some difficulty here in fully expressing what’s on their minds. An inability to be totally open and honest about their concerns could lead to arguments or periods of annoying silence. Venus is love and she is not too happy in this chart. Like Mercury, she is opposite Saturn so there may be restriction in expressing love and affection in the marriage. Venus is also square Pluto bringing the possibility of these restricted affections causing a major problem. These square and oppositions […]
The Persephone Myth Part II
Persephone the Goddess in Myth & Astrology, Ceres and Hades, Asteroid Proserpina. There are two listed Asteroids for the Queen of the Underworld. The first main belt asteroid discovered was Roman Proserpina, Asteriod 26 in 1853. Followed by the Greek Persephone, Asteroid 399, discovered in 1895. Because these names were already taken, Eris could not be named Persephone when it was discovered in 2005 despite it being the favourite. But it all worked out for the best I think, which you will see as we continue our journey through the Underworld. Now we will look at both the Greek and the Roman version of the Persephone Myth and see if there is a difference between the two. 9 The Greek Myth Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she is also known as Kore in modern English. As Kore she is the vegetation goddess. In Greek art she is often portrayed as carrying a sheaf of grain just like the Virgin in Constellation Virgo. So you see already that Persephone symbolism can very easily become part of Ceres’s attributes. In the myth, Persephone is abducted by Hades while she is out picking flowers. A great chasm opens up in […]
