Chiron – what is wrong with me?

Chiron’s location on Natal Chart indicates an area on your life in which you CONSTANTLY BELIEVE SOMETHING IS WRONG. Usually our believes lead to action (depends on relationships with othe aspects on the chart) and we can find ourselves manifesting Chiron in our life and behaviours.

for example, Chiron on the 7th house indicates you allways doubt your relationships, especially the romantic ones, it doesn’t mean a person who changes and shifts from one partner to another, rather it tells how this person feels about their relationahips. this position of Chiron may come with lots of constent douby about the relationships these people are involved in. lots of questions about, is this relationship good for me? some fear of intimacy or past problems with intimacy.

Chiron on the 8th house indicates the same doubts and questioning and feeling that something is wrong, only in the area of life that relates to intimacy and sex.

these people might grow up feeling something is “wrong” with them sexually. they may come to try different “kinks” or later in life become sexual hermits – people who avoid sex or tend to have very little of it.

Chiron on the 12th house may raise a constant doubt about connection with this worlsd, therefore might be asociated with some level of depression.

other positions of Chiron:

on the 6th – what is wrong with my health (might be a hypochondriac)

on the 5th – what is wrong with my kids, pets – might be a person who worries a lot about their kids and pets

on the 4th house – what’s wrong with my mother or childhood – may indicate a feeling of an unresolved trauma in childhood or some unexplained pain from the mother

on the 3rd – what’s wrong with my brothers and sisters, or whats wrong with my thinking and the way I comunicate myself

on the 2nd – what’s wrong with my talents, my property – a constent doubt regarding what a person can or can not do, achieve, keep.

on the 1st – what’s wrong with who I am – a person who feels that something is wrong with them, their’e choices in life where wrong (from their perspective) and they did many wrong things (from their point of view).

 

The 5 kinds of Astrology charts

Generally, there are five main kinds of Charts an astrologer can draw and analyze. All these charts are personal charts, being drawn with the place, date and time of birth of a specific person. The main five Astrology charts are called: Synastry, Composition, Solar and Lunar Return, Natal Chart and Transits Chart.

An experienced Astrologer would usually combine few charts, or few readings, to answer a specific concern. For example, if a person wants to know about their love life in the next year, the astrologer would usually combine a Natal Chart with transits and Solar Return Chart in the Astrology Reading. In case there is a specific romantic candidate, a Synastry and Composite charts can be drawn, too.

Every Astrologer uses their own way of reading the Astrology personal Chart they are making. Some use Western Astrology methods and tools, some use Vedic Astrology (eastern Indian old method) and some use Kabbalistic Astrology tools and interpretations. The way a specific Astrologer choose to interpret the Astrology Chart doesn’t change the chart itself: same planets, houses and signs are used in all Astrology methods, except in the Chinese astrology.

Here I would like to say a few words about the most popular and powerful kinds of Astrology Charts: the Synastry, the Composition, the Solar Return, the Natal Chart and the Transits Chart.

Note: All charts require exact time, date and place of birth.

Natal Chart

The basic Chart, showing a picture of the stars and signs in the sky on the exact time you were born, as seen from the exact place you were born. This chart is the basis for all other charts and without it Astrology reading can’t be accurate. It tells the persons personal planets positions, shown their dominant houses and tells one’s rising sign, which leads usually to find the Chart’s ruler.

Transits

a Transits Chart, and Transits Reading, tells what is going on in one’s life in current days, while current can mean day-by-day, if chacking the moon transits – or it can show a period of few years, if checking Pluto or Neptune transit on the Natal Chart.

Solar and Lunar Return

the Solar Return Chart is used to predict what is going to happen within the next year from your birthday. Astrology fans draw this chart in the few days before or after their birthday, every year, to see how the year ahead is going to look like. This kind of Chart usually tells, in combination with Transits Chart, if one is going to have new love this year, start a new job, get pregnant, and so on.

Lunar Return Chart is used when there is a dominant Moon in one’s Natal Chart.

Synastry

The Astrology Chart we call Synastry is actually a chart combined from 2 personal Natal Charts. Putting these 2 charts in an overlapping way shows the aspects in which the two people meet: what is it in each of them that makes the other tick, what atracts them to each other, how they affect each other, how they help each other grow or the other way around, how they hold each other back. A synastry chart is usually very accurate when knowing both persons time and place of birth, in addition to the date of birth (year, month and day of the month). A synastry couple chart can function as the relationship road map and it reveals the dynamics, the psychology, the atraction and the friction of the relationship between two people. This Chart is usually drawn for couples to show their romantic relationship but other relationships and partnerships can benefit from such reading: parents and children relationship, sisters and brothers relationships, boss and employee partnerships, atc.

Composition

Composition chart is the Astrology chart that reveals more about the essence of a relationship or partnership. It shows something like what this thing is all about and what are we here for. It is considered a more spiritual astrological drawing of the relationship, while synastry would be the kind of chart showing more of the psychological aspects of the relationship. In some ways, it shows the third entity being created when two people meet and interact: the relationship itself.

In addition to these charts, Astrology uses drawings and transitions to the natal chart in other cases and occasions:

Relocation Chart – when one is moving away from their birth place;

Event Chart – when there is a special event – then, the astrologer can create an event chart and read it in the light of the natal chart;

Horary Chart – when there is an inportant question that needs to be answered by the universe;

sometimes, when a name is being changed.

Cancer, belonging and possesing

As a mother of Cancer baby, I couldn’t ignore the first signs of Cancer personality. At the age of 10 months, he already had his own pet: a puppet he adopted just to visit and nurture everyday. He was happy and excited to see it and you could see the strong sense of duty he felt towards it: there wasn’t a day he forgot or ignored the puppet.

Being born under the sign of Cancer, this instinct of having and taking care of something is not surprising. Cancers define themselves by other creatures they take care of and by who and what they are faithfull to. That is why you would often hear the words “Family” and “Patriotism” in relation to Cancer Sun, Moon or AC people.

In combination with a lot of air in the personal chart, or when Uranus is strong,  people with dominant Cancer will be faithful to ideals and ideas and define themselves by activism, voulantaring for society or a cause. When a lot of fire is presense in the chart, or with dominant Mars, these people will devote themselves to doing and making, or in other words you may see a workoholic here. When earth is strong in natal chart, the main loyalty will be to structures, routines and heritages: here you will see people who care about their and their loved ones routine, nurture the physical self (body) and the imidiate surounding. and with lots of water these people usually become family oriented, full of self motivation and inner drive. These will be focused in whatever other parts of the chart, such as Mars’, Mars ruler’s, planets in 10th house and 10th ruler’s location and aspects indicate.

Chiron and Mercury conjunction opposite moon squaring Saturn; then Moon and Jupiter square Pluto. and Venus? in the middle

So what was going on in the last few days? it feels like there’s chaos all around. last 4-5 days created a unique constellation in the skies, with planets forming challenging angles that had big affect on almost anybody – these few constellations in a raw left their mark on any person who’s got in their natal chart important personal planets between 21 and 28-29 degrees, on those who have dominant Virgo, Pisces, Capricorn, Libra or Sagittarius; and on those who are ruled by either Saturn, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Chiron or Pluto. In other words, either you or someone you know well was affected by these astrological transits.

first, on March 12,  Mercury conjuncted Chiron in Pisces, forming both an opposition to the Moon in Virgo. In addition to that, all 3 planets – the conjunction of Chiron and Mercury in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo – created a square to Saturn in Sagittarius. this constellation was basically a mutable signs one, but it involved dominant planets and occurred in the 27th degree, affecting everyone with planets on 25-28 degrees in mutable signs or those who have dominant Moon, Saturn, Mercury or Chiron on their Chart.

The next day, March 13, a Moon – Venus opposition occured. and then a Moon-Jupiter conjunction in Libra, opposing Uranus in Aries and squaring Pluto in Capricorn, took place on March 14, 2017: Both days woken up elements in your personal chart if you were born with strong or personal planets in 10-11 and 19-22 degrees and also if you have a dominant Moon, Venus, Pluto or Jupiter on your natal chart.

So what exactly happened? basically think of a wave. It starts with Moon in Virgo opposing Mercury and Chiron in Pisces, all square Saturn in Sagittarius. The key factor here was moon. When in Virgo, it makes this aspect a cleaning one, an aspect that may involve either job and work issues, health issues – especially eyes, OCD,  fixing body parts and broken machines, healing and meditation issues, people in service positions and more Virgo areas. Such moon having harsh aspects with Saturn, Chiron and Mercury results in structure problems, problems with illness, with authorities and with father figures, and things happen harshly. reality (Mercury and Saturn) is not pleasant to us but absolutely can’t be hidden or smeared. All this energy goes to the next level when the moon goes along into Libra. the Venus opposition adds money issues, relationships and appearance, especially head. The next day, the Uranus opposition and Pluto square to the Moon causes things to end up quickly and abruptly, clean up and be exposed in a cruel ugly way, and begin a process of healing.

So now, few days later, we are here (whoever of us who are still here), traumatised probably, shocked, maybe confused. we need to go on and take care of ourselves, maybe use it to examine our systems of believe and our truth.

Mars transits on 8th and 12th houses

Having Mars transiting your 8th or 12th natal house is not an easy period of time. the 8th and 12th are internal, intimate houses. Having Mars there is like having an elephant in a china store – mars shows its malefic side when entering any of these houses since naturally he is an energetic, external and aggressive planet, while these houses are delicate, receptive and passive.

Usually having Mars in either the 8th or 12th natal house indicates a sensitive time in which some deep fears, resentments, phobias, anxieties and intrigues arise.

The 8th house, being more partnership related, may arise fears and harsh feeling towards other significant people. Issues of trust are likely to harm the image of the other person and to interfere with otherwise smooth relationships. Self doubt is less likely here: the 8th house is about inner drive so with Mars here there might be a feeling of having no energy anymore. feeling drained or exhausted from life is likely with this transit.

The 12th house is more related to general phobias, depression and fears. A person with Mars transiting this house may feel overwhelmed by the world, may have problems communicating their feelings and sharing their fears therefore the result might be feeling isolated and alone. Sleeping problems and addictions may also be a cause for a more lasting depression when transiting Mars is in the natal 12th house.

These two houses are also connected to self strength so having Mars in any of them may result in feeling weak, helpless and hopeless. Mars in these houses tend to take energy instead of giving energy so the usual self strength, emotional ease, confidence in life that a person feels may turn into less favorable feelings.

Since mars transits a natal house for at least 2-3 month, the manifestation of its influence on the 8th or 12th house won’t be short and sharp. Instead, a sensation of isolation or mistrust will start build themselves from the moment Mars touches the cusp of the house.  later on there will be a period of building up all the negative emotions, dealing with them and learning how to handle them, to a point that usually when Mars left the house, the person feels a huge relief, but not sudden and surprising one – rather a feeling that they themselves learned how to rule their fears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Family Astrology

There are quite few common astrological combinations that are often found within families. They form an astrological structure as well as special relations between the family members. These family astrological combinations usually hold a karmatic meaning.

A ruling planet –

All family member will have, in this constelation, the same planet as a ruling or dominant planet in their charts. For example, an uranian family may have an aquarius dad, a mom with uranus as the ruling planet of her chart, one child with uranus on 1st house and one child with aquarius moon. The meaning is that this family was blessed with an uranian energy – they will be freedom loving people, keen to the new, considered somewhat weird as a family. Maybe they will have an unusual way of living, habits or relationships.

same sign kids –

Two, three or more children with same sun sign. The sunsign could be a telltale for the whole family energy: for example, taurus kids will indicate a country life and a tendency for foods: this family likes going on picnics, make food and eat, and induldge in the good life.

parent’s sun = child’s moon –

In this case, child will “take on” one of the parents’ sun sign and “embrace” it as his own moon sign. This kind of energy usually indicates a special connection between this parent and that child. Even if not shown, they may have a very strong understanding of each other and expresses each of other’s needs (unless other planets are opposing each other)

6-8 relationships –

With this constellation, a child’s sun sign would be placed on the 6th or 8th house from their parents sun sign. For example: a Capricorn parent with a Leo child or with a Gemini child. A Cancer parent with a Saggitarius or Aquarius child. And so on. This one considers to be a karmatic relationship, too: it usually forms a relationship in which both sides learn an important lesson about themselves thanks to the other.

What happens to Natal Chart when moving Abroad

Iy might be very surprising but Natal Chart changes along with its owner’s moving to other place than were born. When people move in the same neighborhood or even city, nothing really happens because coordinates remain the same as original ones.But when moving to another country, usually coordinates change in a way that an adjustment to the Natal Chart is needed.

How can a Natal Chart be changed?

Actually Natal Chart can not change. It remains the same throughout the whole life. But when moving, an adjustment to the Natal Chart has to be made so that a new chart is being drawn. this new chart won’t replace the old Natal one; it is only a new, additional chart to be taken into account when calculating personal transits and forecasts.

How to calculate your new Natal Chart

Calculating the new Natal Chart is easy. All you need to do is put the new coordinates instead of the old ones. If working with a making a chart program, just choose the new location instead of the old one. For example, I have moved from Israel to Snata Fe, NM so instead of putting Tel Aviv in the birth place field, I put Santa Fe.

You would also want to change your hour of birth. this is a bit more complicated – you need to substruct or add to the hour you were born in, according to the geographical relations between the place you had been born and the new place were you have moved to. For example, if time in Israel on my birth was 00:25 and I moved to Santa fe then i substract from my birth time 8 hours; because time gap between Israel and Santa Fe is -8. Make sure to take into account any saving time methods that were presence in your birth place during your birth.

How to read the new Natal Chart

Reading new Natal Chart is similar to reading the old chart, the original one, only here you read it in addition to the old one. usually the only thing that is being changed after the chart time ad place shift, is the Ascendant or AC (Rising Sign), and the position of planets in houses. That means that Any major or small planets aspecting you natal planets are still relevant when reading your own chart only now you also need to take into account any aspects being made to your new AC. Plus, since planets in houses have changed, the aspects affect also the new houses where plants are present, not only the old houes.

The six / twelve Astrology Axes

Another important element to interpret in an astrological chart, especially Natal Charts, Solar Returns and Progression Charts, is the axis element. There are 6 axes in astrology – six, because the chart is a wheel divided into 12 houses, each house a piece, just like a cake, and the axis involves 2 oppositional signs and houses. Astrology presents us with 64 different options, for in each chart houses fall on different signs. here is a classic example, when houses and signs match:

chart wheel with axises

but most astrology charts present combinations of houses and signs: Libra on the first house, Gemini on 8th house atc.

The astrological axes are only 6, though, and in order to use it in reading you will have to combine their meanings, in case they fall on different houses and signs: that is, when signs don’t match their natural house. The natural position of the houses and signs is as seen at the drawing above, with each sign and house matches the opposition sign and house in the chart wheel:

Houses 1-7 : Aries-Libra

Houses 2-8 : Taurus-Scorpio

Houses 3-9 : Gemini-Sagittarius

Houses 4-10 : Cancer-Capricorn

Houses 5-11 : Leo-Aquarius

Houses 6-12 : Virgo-Pisces

and all matches their natural astrological positions (Aries first, Taurus second atc.)

In an Astrological Chart, we might want to understand the meaning of an axis when interpreting prominent planets, angular points and other elements. for example one can not understand  the Nodes (Mean Node and True Node) without understanding the axis they sit on. It is also hard to interpret oppositions without having a sufficient understanding of the axis the opposition partakes.

Meanings of the different Axes in Astrology Chart

The 1-7 axis, or the Aries-Libra axis, is all about I am:

Me, as a person: my needs, ambitions, drives and boundaries, represented by Aries and the 1st house, VS including others in my scheme: significant others and just “others” with their needs, ambitions, drives and boundaries, represented by Libra and the 7th house.

The 2-8 axis, or the Taurus-Scorpio axis, is all about I have:

Talents and abilities I have and how I’m supporting myself, represented by Taurus and 2nd house, VS others’ resources and talents: heritages, inheritances, genes, karma that goes with me everywhere and other legacies I’ve got from home and early family – represented by Scorpio and 8th house.

The 3-9 axis, or the Gemini-Sagittarius axis, is all about I’m aware:

Available Ideas and possibilities i can reach and options my mind can grasp, represented by Gemini and 3rd house, VS expanding my awareness, widening my view and acknowledge possibilities, beliefs, experiences that  are “out there” beyond my immediate understanding.

The 4-10 axis or the Cancer-Capricorn axis is all about I generate/get:

Having emotional and personal impact on those i love and using bonding to get things, represented by Cancer and 4th house, VS generating my own means and relying on status to get things, represented by Capricorn and 10th house.

The 5-11 axis or the Leo-Aquarius axis is all about I can/influence:

Do, achieve, become, develop myself and influence others near me, represented by Leo and the 5th house, VS spread my influence further reaching groups of people and make a change in the world, represented by Aquarius and 11th house.

The 6-12 axis or the Virgo-Pisces axis is all about I know:

I know and  map the world around me through facts, personal experience and analyses, represented by Virgo and the 6th house, VS I process things intuitively, relying on general truths, common knowledge and others’ experiences and beyond myself experiences of this world, represented by Pisces and 12th house.

How to interpret combined axes in personal charts

Combining 2 elements is the difficult task  when doing Astrology reading and charts analysis. for example having somebody’s South Node falling on their 5th house in Sagittarius. In order to interpret the combination of 5th and Sagittarius, to figure their South Node meaning, you will need to combine 5th house axis meaning with Sagittarius axis meaning, like this:

5th house axis is about I can/influence: Do, achieve, become, develop myself and influence others near me. Sagittarius axis is about I’m aware: expanding my awareness, widening my view and acknowledge possibilities, beliefs, experiences that  are “out there” beyond my immediate understanding. The combination of the two gives us I influence through awareness or I’m aware through influence. Because we’re interpreting South Node (natural, intuitive skills, strategies and experiences the individual posses) we can conclude that as a child and as a default strategy in life, the Chart’s owner uses their authority over others to gain wider understanding and that major awareness events in their life were connected to their learning their own power over others.  We can also conclude that Chart’s owner is familiar with “changing” identities as a mean of gaining more awareness: that is, they are experienced with playing with their image and gaining wider awareness through it . Having in mind other aspects of the chart, this aspect may indicate either a manipulative tendency, a “chameleon” type or the need of others presence (friends, groups) to gain  knowledge about my self – that is, a somewhat very friendly person.

We use the same method to interpret the other side of the axis, this time, the True Node: we conclude that having True Node in 11th house and Gemini axis gives us a person who their learned experiences, challenging strategy and main lesson is to learn how to use what they already know in order to contribute others. This may indicate a person who needs to be more aware of their uniqueness and to understand that their experiences in this life are something others can learn from. If the context of the reading is professional, it may tell a career in  coaching (if other aspects support) or in lecturing that will be beneficial for the chart’s owner. If the context is spiritual then it tells being more personal in their interactions with other or being more interactive from the first place.

Like everything else in Astrology, things depend very much on other supportive elements and aspects of the chart.

Being a Capricorn: being fully and uniquely YOU

pl03_wa

Continuing the Saturn investigations, I’ve been closely examined some Capricorns. What I have found amazing about Capricorn sun sign is the fact they know they are one of a kind. Basically each of us is one of a kind – each of us has a unique combination of qualities and defects, abilities and flaws that are uniquely theirs. But only Capricorns are basically quite fully aware or their own unique combinations and actually live according to it. they don’t get themselves into things they are not positive to be good at, and they put themselves strongly into what they can do and what they are good at. They apply this attitude to basically everything, including work, relationships, and even the ways they manage their everyday recourses.

Fact is, a person can not be aware of who they are unless they know themselves. Knowing yourself means knowing also what is you and what is not you: where you came from, how your origins affect you, where you want to be and who you want to be, who you already are, what are the things you can change in yourself and what you can’t change. Knowing all these things means knowing who you are, also means being aware you are one of a kind, which also means, hopefully, understanding that if you are one of a kind you have the burden and the chance to be fully who you meant to be, in this world.
So Capricorn is, basically, a sign of a burden and a chance, at the same time, of being who you are fully (or using what you have fully). Those of you who know the 10th house meaning and the meanings of Saturn know that both these elements represent something similar as well: th 10th house is who you come to be, while Saturn is what restricts you and also what teaches you your most important lessons in life (here you can read some more about Saturn and how it works within our charts and life).

 

Capricorn astrology compatibility

That’s why Capricorns are always such important people in our lives. They show us a way to fulfill our potentials by giving an example of how they do it themselves. If you examine closely a capricorn’s life you can see they usually smartly use whatever resources they have and juggle nicely between them, in a way that helps them maintain all their resources at hand reach and gain more and more resources. Even a poor and inadequate Capricorns show this ability / quality as their lives getting more and more restricting for them.
When Capricorns feel wealthy they like to match with partners who have qualities as a Leo, Taurus, Libra, and sometimes Cancer or Aries.
A partner with Leo qualities is a confident and proud partner, someone who knows their worth and needs recognition for what and who they are. A partner with Taurus qualities is a stable and reliable partner that likes to maintain and preserve what they have and what and who they are. A Taurus partner is a partner of loyalty – not only to their spouse but to their personality, tradition, past and also dreams and fears as well. A partner with Cancer qualities is somewhat the same, only a Cancer partner is also dramatic and moody sometimes, and likes to rely on Capricorns, take care of them and share their private and fantasy worlds. Cancers as Capricorns are aware of who they are and what they have, therefore in astrology this combination considers to be on the positive side. Aries people are great achievers and like being admired and looked upon, therefore are suitable partners for Capricorns who feel capable.

Inadequate Capricorns or Capricorns who are lacking luck or in a somewhat low in wealth period would match with partners who have qualities as a Pisces, Cancer, Virgo, and people they can use no matter their sun or other influential signs on their map (for example, people who socially have higher position then theirs, or are richer).

A partner with Pisces qualities is a giving and self effacing partner that would give themselves to Capricorns for the sake of “Togetherness”. A Cancer partner can be somewhat the same. A Virgo tend to be devoted and in the service of the Capricorn, too.
