Meaning of your sun sign

We are all producing energies of some kind, as we live.

Astrology in some parts refers to the energy you produce by your Sun sign.

Sun sign is where your Sun was positioned the time you were born. Not only it dwelled in one of the 12 signs but it was also angling other planets at this particular time and point you were born. In addition there are interpretations and meanings for each of the 30 degrees of each of the 12 signs.

Energy of a particular sign may effect your sun as it dwells on a certain house that relates to one of the 12 signs: 1st house to Aries, second to Taurus, third to Gemini etc.

For example, sun on the 8th house may produce some Scorpio energy, especially if at instance it is conjunct to Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler.

So what does each of the signs produce? what kind of energy?

Aries – produces energy and enthusiasm

Taurus – produces comfort and practicality

Gemini – produces words and communication

Cancer – produces Home and familiarity

Leo – produces evolvement and growth

Virgo – produces order and organization

Libra – produces balance and equivalence

Scorpio – produces depth and investigation

Sagittarius – produces wealth and expansion

Capricorn – produces minimalism and contraction

Aquarius – produces detachedness and analytical thinking

Pisces – produces compassion and dissolvement

Therefore, you can not, for example, predict one’s job or compatibility by their sun sign but you definitely can tell what kind of energy they produce or bring as workers as well as friends, partners etc.

Synastry chart – the up and down sides of your relationship

Today I encountered someone who asked online for a quick reading for a chart.

I had no idea who the person was so I just said what seemed to be obvious from the chart – that the person had an Aquarius moon on the 2nd house conjunct with Neptune and that this person is probably making money out of art.

I also saw an exact entrance of Jupiter, ruler of this chart, into the 5th house of romance, hobbies and pets so I mentioned this time is probably a time of self development through these areas of life.

It all seemed to be right since the inquirer told me that they were dating this person and would love to have their relationship chart, named Synastry.

since Synastrys are my favorite Astrology practice, I decided to dedicate a post to this subject or field of Astrology and Astrology reading.

a Synastry involves both sides strongest traits as they come to manifestation in a specific relationship. The way programs draw a synastry is easy – they just put two charts one outside the other in a way that the astrologer can read the poinrs or traits of both people and the way they kind of ‘speak’ with each other.

Often times it is very much of a discussion coming to life for me, when reading a synastry chart. the elements actually speak up with each other by different tones and other vocal nuances that can teach me about the relationship itself.

Off course, a synastry chart reading can not be replaced by, only based on, natal chart reading. meaning you are going to use the appropriate tools on your favorite astrology program or website to see the spread of the synastry. after being spread this way, charts have special angles and points that seem to speak to each other louder then others. Those are points where planets conjunct, opposite, square or sextile to each other.

Generally, the more dominant a planet or point is in one’s chart the more weight it has for the synastry calculation. Although, we can have some people ‘doing’ all kind of things to us – make us feel special, or understood, or even karmatically attached somehow. Usually, those connections will be manifested in the synastry and its attachment points.

In the picture you can see circled in black are the conjunctions, yellow – the sextile and pink – square.

usually all angles are meaningful (imagine them not talking to each other at all) but while sextiles are fluent positive energy and conjunctions are intense energy, squares tend to be more challenging to deal with though not necessarily difficult or fatalistically destructive for a relationship. having Saturn squaring someone’s Venus, sun or moon is better then…. right, not having them communicating at all.

And one last thing about synastries – try, for practice, having your synastry with someone that you like artistically such as a novelist or a painter. usually you will find some interesting connections….

Planets and signs in natal 4th house

In Astrology we search for significant telltales on a natal chart. The 4th house is where we find clues for father figure, father background and family background. There we an see indication for immigration, education, trauma and so on events and circumstances that were and are involved with the father and the family.

A populated 4th house increases the chances of patriotic activity and an emphasized 11th house shows tribal involvement (community) in one’s life.

for example:

well aspected and strong moon on the 4th house may show a lineage of strong women.

Neptune on the 4th house shows a religious background

Pluto in this position talks about immigration or some other physical transformation that happened to family or father

As for signs of the 4th they don’t tell much but the ruler of 4th house can give us more details about one’s brought up and family background.

the Hebrew letters connection between Astrology and Kabbalah

Hebrew alphabet is represented in the Kabbalah Tree of Life, which also represents the Astrology Signs and Planets.

the sephirot themselves are represented by the planets:

Keter (crown) – Uranus

Chochmah (wisdom) – Neptune

Binah (understanding) – Saturn

Chessed (mercy) – Jupiter

Gevurah (strength, courage) – Mars

Tipheret (beauty) – Sun

Netzach (victory, eternity) – Venus

Hod (splendor) – Mercury

Yesod (the foundation) – Moon

Malchut (the kingdom) – Earth

and the paths between the sephirot, that are connected to the signs:

Netzach-Malkuth is ק and Pisces (dagim דגים)

Netzach- Yesod is צ and Aries (tale טלה)

Hod-Tipheret is ע and Capricorn (gedi גדי)

Gvurah-Chessed is ט and Leo (arie אריה)

Binah-Tipheret is ז and Gemini (te’omim תאומים)

Chochmah-Tipheret is ה and Aquarius (deli דלי)

Tipheret-Chesed is י and Virgo (betula בתולה)

Tipheret-Netzach is נ ans Scorpio (akrav עקרב)

Chochmah-Chessed is ו and Taurus (shor שור)

Binah-Gvurah is ח and Cancer (sartan סרטן)

Tipheret-Gvurah is ל and Libra (mozna’im מאזנים)

Also, the Sephirot are related to the different Signs qualities: Mutable, Fixed and Cardinal.

Netzach (Victory & eternity) is for fixed signs: Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio and Leo. Its planet is Venus.

Hod (highness), Yesod (element) & Malchut (kingship) are for mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.

OK so now you know some of the basic connections between kabbalah and Astrology. How to take it further to some practical knowledge or even practices?

I know of an interesting Kabbalistic path that analyzes your spiritual soul code and is based on the Hebrew letters and their combinations into sentences from the כתובים, the complete Jewish traditional writing including the bible and its by heart and by writing interpretations.

The astrological way through this path could be the abbility to understand Astrologically the code for one’s soul by looking bot on date of birth and Hebrew personal name, Hebrew calendar date of birth and mother’s Hebrew name.

Soon to come!

finding (natal) chart rulers or ruling planets

working with Astrology and with natal charts takes some basic do’s and dont’s.

at the Dos section we can find the first step when approaching every natal chart: identifying its ruler or ruling planet.

Deciding which of the plants is/are the most dominant or influential in a person’s (or event’s, relationship’s, atc.) chart is sometimes easy, sometimes not so much. Often a hint would be found by the AC or rising sign. sending us to its ruler (ruling planet) and ruler’s location on the natal (or other) chart.

If this is it we may find some enforcement to the planet’s theme/s with other dominant positions on the natal chart. For example an Aquarius horizon with Uranus as its ruler or ruling planet is common to have other dominant Aquarius “stamps” on it (aquarius moon or sun) and/or dominant 11th house.

Dont’s: vice verse doesn’t always work. If you see a stelium, for example, on 11th house it doesn’t indicate Uranus as the chart’s ruler or ruling planet.

Ruler / ruling planet is very important when doing readings to people and events or when making personal forecasts. it is crucial when working with transits.

Make sure to see the bigger picture, too: sometimes it is not just one but 2 different rulers for a chart: for example, the above Aquarius rising chart is ruled by not only Uranus but also Saturn: both are the traditional rulers of Aquarius, therefore both should be checked closely when checking transits – for an event, for a person, atc.

As for rulers location on natal or other chart and also how it affects the chart reading and interpretation – on the second part of this article.

Love to you all

Astrology of covid-19: part 2

Having discussed generally the constellation that triggered the current pandemic and after trying to analyse thebasics of astrology of covid 19 in the first part, I now move on to the speciffic areas of affect this pandemic carries due to the speciffic envolvement of certain planets in certain signs.

A little longer then a year ago, on the end of 2019, Saturn, the great tutor, was meeting Pluto in Capricorn. This meeting (on this 45 years apart ongoing schedule) was this time (remember the old Ants and their very slow language in Lord of the Rings? think this way) about revolutions and restrictions in governmental patterns and constructions. Saturn kept moving happily (or more like, earnestly) toward Uranus: another gigantic with plans of its own, sitting meanwhile in Taurus after just entering there. Saturn and Uranus first intense interaction happened while Saturn was forming a direct square from the 3rd degree of Aquarius to Saturn, at about half of the time spoken here (saying, on the peak months of this Covid-19 Pandemic, טפו טפו טפו, about 8 months ago on the summer of 2020) . As the great tutor not only personally but also to humanity, this form was an intense one because these two unfriendly but somehow, more “natural” planets, Saturn and Pluto, had plans of forcing some form structures over humanity (remember? revolutions and restrictions in governmental patterns and constructions) , as only the mediator of the gigantic planets, Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn, Saturn had no choice but to take upon himself yet another task or mission (as Capricorns always do or people with dominant Saturn/Capricorn on their personal chart) : doing whatever needed and exactly as set with Pluto first, but with the new Uranus in Taurus crazy plans. Sorry for all Uranian fans out there, I myself an Aquarius moon and hell I know How fierce Uranus can be (personally I have it on my 8th house, meaning a lot to me). but here in Taurus Uranus plays with us the wicked game of give me some of your XYZ and get some revolution in return. this time, the negotiation is over the Taurus concerns. Taurus rules humanity assets: our physicals stamina, our wheat, breads and agriculture, as well as comforts, habits and sense of control over our surrounding. Taurus is the comforts and practicality of life. It is slow and steady. In the human body Taurus is the neck and throat. It also cares about our money but having Uranus there can not speak about cash alone. it speaks about the means of the making and handling it. Taurus is also an Earth Fixed sign. It is ruled by Venus / Earth. All these and other Taurus related areas were expected to be heated by the nature of this combination, Uranus in Taurus. Uranus in Taurus plans for us (here to stay for about 15 years and early born Taurus suns, as well as others with Taurus moons or Taurus rising on their Personal Chart, have started already feeling its affect personaly) – begins with the unique, lets say, Uranian sense of humor. Imagine maybe Who framed Roger rabbit or this kind of very slapstic no-red-lines sense of humor. yes, with Uranus in Taurus the price is not funny for us as it is for Uranus. This planet has been moving 2 degrees from the 2nd to the 4th during this year of covid-19. It entered while we were mostly busy with the Pluto in Capricorn governmental issues (still going on off course) and very typically it hit us not when expected (as is with Uranus) and waited to hit his show later then expected (Like, Uranus spent one whole year out of fifteen on waiting just to make a joke, before hitting us with a crazy lethal virus. Ha ha, isn’t that funny. Not)

Im not blaming Uranus. As said on the first Astrology of covid 19 article there are other heavy planets and the actual Pluto and Saturn meeting was the focus of our attention. Pluto being in Capricorn – yes, after squaring with Uranus in Aries for some time (think back 2014-2016), and after conjuncting with exessive Jupiter – is by itself a reasonable position for this pandemic as a governmentally-spread economical and structural game-changer.

KEEP SAFE

Neptune in houses

Neptune shows what deprives from you in your life. For example, a person with Neptune on the 4^th on the natal astrology chart will probably have issues with having no home: being in institutes or in jail. A person with same Neptune but on the 9^th may show, depending on other planets involved, a lack of efficient supporting system that allows either publication of the individual’s creative and/or personal materials or going through high education – as well as any other 9^th house related topics. Not only Neptune shows what lacks, is missing and deprives from your life, it also tells us in what way it does that or how it happens. Neptune on the 3rd – means of communication are being deprived. May indicate an “on the spectrum” behavior or having little or no siblings, neighbors and everyday attachments.

Neptune on the 2nd – personal assets are being deprived. Popular in twins charts, when they are born into reality of sharing everything they have (from placenta or womb to parents and family, sometimes friends and school)

Neptune on the 1st – Sense of self is being deprived. I believe these people tend to have narcissist relationships as a result, sometimes.

true and mean node head and tail of the dragon

While other astrologers are trying to explain / justify their United States recent election results predictions (I gave up trying after Failing so hard last time, 4 years ago), I was having a revelation today.

It had nothing to do with neither Trump nor Biden, but with the nodes.

True and mean nodes or head and tail of the dragon.

They are known to carry some carmatic value to each astrology chart, telling us about both lessons we learn, represented by the head of the dragon or the true node – and lessons we have already learned or knowledge (intellectual, practical, sensual, spiritual, societal knowledge atc) we already gained (most astrologers explains that gaining with reincarnation theories which I find too hippy and vague) and known reactions and energy we are familiar with, usually being used and worked with in childhood – vs the knew, yet unknown areas of life, experiences, vibes we have been either preventing ourselves from intentionally or just have never met. Things we tend to feel usually very uncomfortable with but meet again and again in life, just like our current lesson in this life time, represented by the mean node or the tail of the dragon.

counter intuitively, we know when born or from an early age first the tail and with life we are moving towards the head of the dragon. we are, metaphorically, probably not sliding down but climbing up the dragon.

so far what i have learned about the nodes.

Now, the new insight was that they are actually telling you what keeps you alive, what makes you survive. first, what is the theme of survival in your life. what axis it activates generally. to an Astrologer it can tell a lot about the survivalist story of the person, and must be examined first with every question about Karma. Then what next you can learn from the axes is what is motivating you, like gas to a car, in your life and especially learn the tension between what might be your comfort zone (if you are older then 20-25), represented by your mean node , the tail – and what one might experience as an ongoing attacks from the outside world – as long as they don’t understand and start working with their lesson.

So.

They like to talk about Saturn being the lesson teacher, the great tutor, right?

so why the nodes? are they, too?

its a different king of lessons, or struggles. the nodes’ one is a more spiritual one and would probably be felt in everyday life and experienced as the thread of life, if at all, by very sensitive souls.

the Saturn one is the one of you against reality: trying make a living, meeting systems, struggling with parents, struggling over independency, atc.

so, I believe that the earlier you accept and adopt and embrace the energy of your true node (head), the better life you will get to have.

(do not be afrais if you afe focusing on being positive through embracing your head of dragon while hearing all of a sudden the call of the tail.

according to your tail’s position and its orbs to planets you can tell how it is going to call you: if its gonna whisper like a lover or whisper in a voice that takes the earth under your feet…. or any other way 🙂

Anyways, it is going to call. and we are all going to

Astrology of covid-19 : Saturn conjunct Pluto and Jupiter with retrograding Neptune in Pisces

Since the spreading of the covid-19 and its arrival to Israel I have been fascinated by its astrological manifestation and analysis.

Sometimes, as planets teach us, life is just not fair.

Life seems to be unfair whenever we feel as if a lot had been put on achieving something until some breaking point occurred: a point of no return was crossed and there’s no way back.

We are talking here about the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto, an encounter that repeats itself every 34 years or so and was responsible for many world-wide crisis, the Saturnian cruel facing of harsh reality with transformative force by Pluto can cause, depending on the location of other planets, a world wide disasters such as a disease, war, terror wave and so on .

With an addition from Jupiter conjucting too this whole tightness , the events became – well, Jupiternian, Sagittarius like: spreading themselves all over the place, taking whatever reality they are creating / facing and makes a lot of it.

A transformative (Pluto) deep process (think Phenix) meeting the must to face reality with no masks force (his highness, planet Saturn). Only here, in this Covid-19 crisis-like constellation of the sky, Neptune was involved with a series of retrograding in Pisces creating many rumors and some attractive, secret appeal to the planetary show being demonstrating on us here on earth. And now Saturn is retrograding, the world is in between the first and second wave of the corona virus attacks only next one is happening with Saturn being in Aquarius, affecting us on a less physical (Earthy Capricorn) more mental post-institutional (Airy Aquarius) level. Big organizations (NGOs and other shared-interests based communities) will play a hugh role here. But it will only take 2 years or so before Saturn moves on to Pisces.

To heal us all towards the new cycle in Aries.

(Heal us through hardships and reality but still heal and clean)

May God save you all

the Book of Job and Uranus

Having an Aquarius Moon, today I was on the phone with an Aquarius sun soul sister who’s experiencing Job-like “symptoms” in her life right now. we were discussing life and kids and astrology while all of a sudden it hit me: the book of Job is a typical Uranus story. so I mentioned it to her and told her (yet again) my old Uranus joke:

Imagine a man walking down the street while a brick falls on his head.

she laughed, of course. So did I. Even though it is not funny, we both appreciate an Uranian sense of humor. But then she said:

This is my life at the moment.

And than it hit me.

The Book of Job is an Uranian story.

What does the book of Job say

The book of Job tells the story of a man who gets more losses than a man can suffer. And each time he thinks he can not suffer anymore, another disaster comes upon him. He losses everything he has.

For some reason, the common Christian adaptation of the story tends to emphasize the wounds or physical suffer poor Job had to suffer, while Judaism basic education in the state of Israel, at least, tends to question both the meaning of “blessing” קללה in the text and the presence of Satan in the story.

Accordiing to Job, just how Uranian can Uranus be?

in one word: A Lot. As much as universes can be universal. Infernal. Eternal. Uranian people tend to be forced somehow, usually by normative (or “normative”) circumstances, to see the bigger picture right from a very early age. Uranian person is not necessarily a person born under the sign of Aquarius or has an Aquarius moon, like my friend and me. Aquarian person is influenced directly from Uranus in a strong way shown on the Personal Natal Chart in any other way.
