Hermetic Dreamer » corsimone The quiet compassionate type who has an inner strength and desire for the wellbeing of others.

Hermetic Dreamer » ENTP-A As a Gemini ascendant I do like being stimulated, so air and fire signs I really go for. But also with Venus in Gemini I do like variety but has me leaning towards intelligence a lot, so there has to be some strong air energy no matter the sign.

Hermetic Dreamer » jaderosez I have a Pluto-Mars square. I had a verbally abusive father, Mars is also conjunct Sun, but nothing physical. Hopefully that is the worst of that manifestation for me. They are both in cadent houses so that may be why.

Hermetic Dreamer » hermitfaerie Welcome to the forum! I would be happy to share knowledge and experience. How long have you been studying astrology?

Hermetic Dreamer » Alexjandro I´m mostly using William Lilly´s chart of Essential and Accidental dignities, but also Hellenistic techniques:
http://theastrologydictionary.com/a…

My Venus is my greatest benefic because I was born at night. She is in the 1st house(one of the strongest houses, besides the 10th). She has mixed reception with two other planets by terms/bound and by face/decan. She is in direct and swift motion and not combust(with in 8 degrees conjunction with the sun).

My Jupiter my out of sect benefic and is in the 9th house(not super strong) but conjunct with the MC angle, which gives it he strength of being in the 10th house. He has mutual reception by triplicity, in the terms of Venus, and not combust. He is retrograde though.

Mars is my out of sect malefic and is weak because he is combust from the sun and peregrine. But Sun is in his own sign, which may mitigate some of this weakness. Mars in the 3rd house doesn´t allow a weakened Mars to be active enough to give me too much trouble.

Saturn is my greatest malefic, who is in my 6th house (kind of scary being the house of health). But he has weak reception with Venus my greatest benefic in my first house which also rules my health. He is not combust. The 6th house is not a super active house which also keeps Saturn from being to busy bringing my harm. But Saturn is still very noticeable in my life because he stationed direct right before I was born and makes a square with my ascendant ruler Mercury and my MC.

I´m not 100% confident I understand it all, but I think I have it down for the most part.

Hermetic Dreamer » Joanna Suzanne I like the fact that my Venus and Jupiter are strong and my Mars and Saturn are not too strong, not too weak. Makes a relatively easy life overall. I tried thinking about how relocating could make my life better and found out that it would be a bad idea making my benefics weaker and my malefics stronger. That and I have Orcus cazimi. Having a god of death in the center of my sun, just sounds metal. I wish I knew more about Orcus though...

What are your favorites about your chart?

Hermetic Dreamer » Selene09 Welcome! Happy to have you learn with us.

Hermetic Dreamer » Zydrunas999 Welcome!

Hermetic Dreamer » Blak Wizdom Started studying around thirteen? That´s awesome. I just started 2 years ago and realized how much there is to learn. With what I know about astrology now, I wonder what it would be like to grow up with it. I wish you success in your writing endeavors!

Hermetic Dreamer » rohinivenus I´m so sorry to hear about your experiences, I can´t even imagine. The next year may still be rough, but the following 3 years after that should quiet down a lot. When you are 36 you will be able to focus more on yourself. Saturn is your ascendant ruler and is in the 12th house by sign. The 12th house is Saturn´s joy. Saturn is all about hard lessons. If you get into meditation, spent some time alone to process all that you have been through, you will come out a lot better for it. There is a lot of self help materials online that may help you with what you are going through. Your Gemini Moon shows you should be good with research. If you can´t face it alone, then definitely get a therapist involved though. Saturn´s path is a hard one, but you can come out very strong afterwards.

Hermetic Dreamer » Dinuš Just a Quantum Tarot 2.0. It is fun because it is science themed and some of the major arcana are planets. I´m considering getting another one some day. Either Rider-Waite or some thing with good fantasy art.

What kind of decks do you have?

Hermetic Dreamer » rohinivenus I´m so sorry you are going through this right now. You don´t deserve any of this abuse.

Looking at your chart using whole sign houses, I see that you are in a Scorpio 11th house profection year that started last July. Pluto is strong in that sign conjunct the MC, so Scorpio and Pluto themes are supposed to pop up and it seems they have. Mars is activated as well, who also rules your 4th house of parents. Mars is currently transiting there, showing recent troubles with parents and home. Your solar return ascendant is in your 4th house Aries conjunct your natal Jupiter, showing that themes of home will be in focus and Mars is activated once again. Your solar return Mars also makes a trine to your solar return ascendant making it even more apparent(pun intended?).

Good news is your birthday is coming up in less than two months, so this means a change, but I´m still seeing themes related to home/parents. But also more of a focus on 7th house issues like your partnerships. So I can´t say your parent issues will go away in a year, but they will change. Since you have a day chart, Mars gives you the most trouble and Jupiter helps you the most. So this upcoming profection year should be gentler. It is a 12th house profection year, so it may mean that you have to isolate yourself from your parents to recuperate. So if you can take a break from your parents maybe you should. Saturn and Uranus are in this sign in your birth chart, so the transits you want to keep an eye on are Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Moon is the ascendant ruler of your solar return, so Moon transits might affect you more too.

I hope you can take solace in the fact that what is happening to you is not your fault. As you can see by your chart you were going to have problems with your parents this past year, and maybe this year too. The good news is that this is temporary. Sure what your parents have done can´t be undone, but what you are feeling can change. You will get relief in the future, you just have to hang on. You are not alone, I have friends with shitty parents. One disowned them, changed their name, and avoids them entirely. Do what you have to do to stay healthy. I highly recommend that you see a therapist first chance you can. You shouldn´t have to deal with this alone. I wish you well.

Hermetic Dreamer » TJShemaly It has healed pretty well, no infection. Honestly I don´t know a lot about the vertex except that it adds something that was out of your control, possibly fated. For all I know this was supposed to happen so I have an easy experience to learn astrology from.

Hermetic Dreamer » TJShemaly Transits:

With these transits you can see that Mercury is so weak, Retrograde, very combust, conjunct my natal ascendant. Saturn opposes natal Mercury but a weak Venus trines natal Mercury. Sun and Mercury are in a sextile with natal Mars.

Transits alone: Pluto trines Sun and Mercury, Mars is in a sextile with Sun and Mercury, all of them forming a minor grand trine. Saturn forms an applying square to Sun and Mercury while in a applying conjunction with Moon. The transiting ascendant on my natal Uranus just adds to the sudden disruption it had in my activities.


My conclusion:
With Gemini activated, my transiting weak Mercury conjunct transiting Sun and my natal ascendant, making a sextile to transiting Mars and natal Mars, was enough to cause injury. It was a minor injury, maybe thanks to it being just a sextile and benefics helping out at the same time, but it the Mars/Mercury/Sun connections in my solar return did play out. So a burn(Mars injury) from boiling water(appropriate for Mars in Pisces), to my hands(ruled by Gemini) seems to play out literally in this manifestation. It is also funny because my natal Mars, Sun and Mercury are in my 3rd/4th house and I was serving my sister´s kids at home.

Bonus incident: My nephew is a Gemini Sun, Cancer Moon and Leo ascendant, he also hurt his thumb the same day. Mars was his profected time lord and in his solar return Mars was conjunct his natal Moon in Cancer while Pluto opposed his natal Moon.

Let me know if any of you see any flaws in this analysis. I´m still learning.

Hermetic Dreamer » TJShemaly My niece and nephew came over for the weekend. I was in a hurry trying to make ramen for each of them and my children. I wanted to multi-task, taking the boiling hot ramen from the microwave in one hand while holding the bowl I was going to pour the ramen in with the other hand. Unfortunately I tipped the bowl of boiling hot water just enough to spill on my hand during this time. I receive a 2nd degree burn from this.

Annual Profection Sign = Gemini/1st house; Venus is present; Mercury and Venus are time lords at this time. The sign of Gemini is active and sensitive to transits.

From <https://zodiacalreleasing.net/>;

During this zodiacal releasing period from fortune the following planets are activated: Sun and Mercury several times over, Mars a few times, Saturn, and Venus.

Solar Return

With Mercury activated it means that that this Mercury conjunct natal Mars and square Pluto will come into the spot light one or more times this profection year. Pluto is in the 1st house for this solar return, and the MC is conjunct natal Pluto, making it strong. Mars on a critical degree in the solar return chart which may indicate a misbehaving Mars. Depending on the orbs you use for solar returns Mars is conjunct natal Mercury. With Mercury my ascendant lord, this is setting up for Mars related events like injuries. The vertex is conjunct Natal mercury, which just adds to circumstances happening to me. The solar return ascendant is in my 8th house ruled by Saturn, who is in a wide opposition to my Sun, another symbol of vitality. Not to mention also opposing my Mercury by sign.

Hermetic Dreamer » TJShemaly When it comes to timing techniques, as far as I understand it, when the time lords are activated, all transits with those time lords are activated for that period. That is why some transits come and go with no affect but some manifest in your life. So if a planet is activated, lets say by annual profections and zodiacal releasing, then when it makes a transit to your natal planets you are likely to experience that transit somehow.

I´ve been keeping a daily journal in hopes I can comeback and correlate my experiences with timing techniques and transits. I´ll have to see if I can give you an example.

Hermetic Dreamer » amanda64 It depends on what you mean by soul mate. If it is a love from a past life, look to the south node, that can represent your past life depending on your belief system. Any synasatry connections there are likely past life connections. My wife´s Venus is in a conjunction with my south node, and my Jupiter is in a trine with hers. Relationship planets conjunct your south node could indicate that a someone from your past lives will form a relationship with you somehow. My wife has undergone some past life regression and was able to see that she and I have had romantic relationships in the past. So if you count that as evidence that it would support our south node connections in our synastry as indicators of a soul mate connection.

Hermetic Dreamer » TJShemaly Chris Brennan does a great job introducing zodiacal releasing. I also included a playlist from Martien Hermes. He goes into more detail and gives examples. The technique became more clear to me after watching several videos.

I still need to experiment with firdaria and jarbakhtar, they do look interesting.

Hermetic Dreamer » Dinuš Welcome to the site! I´ve dabbled in tarot and have been learning astrology for a couple of years. I´d be happy to share resources and experiences. I hope you are enjoying astrology so far.

Hermetic Dreamer » TJShemaly I´ve been playing with Hellenistic timing techniques and am just starting to get a handle on them. Annual profections is pretty easy to learn. I started tracking mine from my last birthday and found that some major transits that manifested were activated time lords by profections, solar return, and zodiacal releasing. I don´t think I completely understand it all yet, but I think I´m close

With zodiacal releasing you focus on the lot of spirit for your career. You set the sign with the lot of spirit as the first house then base the technique off of that. So far the releasing seems to line up with my career. I´m still trying to understand why and how exactly.

YRashawn just recently posted about the rule of 3. I haven´t watched their video yet but if he is talking about what I´ve learned about the rule of 3, it basically is about how if you find the same thing in 3 different techniques, it is likely to happen. So if planets are activated in at least 3 different techniques transits with those planets are likely to manifest in your life. So it is good to know a few techniques and use them at the same time.
