Venus opposite Saturn – poor business judgment, losses, psychic pains

Venus opposite Saturn will happen on May 26th, 2018, at 06:39:57 UT (02:39:57 EDT).

Venus opposite Saturn brings out the evil qualities of the two planets and troubles which are thus generated usually come through the person’s relations with the opposite sex. It makes him underhanded and scheming to gratify his passions often in an unusual manner and his perverted desires are usually directed against someone who is much younger than himself. If regular marriage relations are entered into, such a person is usually a demon of jealousy who makes life a burden for the marriage partner on account of his suspicious nature. People with these afflictions are also stingy in all money matters and exceedingly avaricious. They have poor business judgment and are therefore liable to losses, failure and bankruptcy. (M. Heindel) Besides, this aspect  may indicate commotions, psychic pains and hipersensitivity too. Of course, this transit implies hard liability mainly for those who have Venus (square/semi-square/opposite) Saturn in their natal chart.

Leo Sun Trine Sagittarius Saturn – Evocation Of Heracles & His 12 Labours

Sun trine Saturn will occur on August 13th, 2017 at 21:06:21 UT (17:06:21 EDT). Sun will be staying in constellational Leo, sidereal Cancer and tropical Leo while Saturn in constellational Scorpius, sidereal Scorpio and tropical Sagittarius (see zoomable chart).

In the tropical context of the birth chart, Leo Sun trine Sagittarius Saturn indicates recognition and success, but – because of the ’saturnine contribution’ – those are often delayed till middle life. With this aspect in their radix charts, if natives come to a decision – which is generally somehow ’fiery’ and highly idealistic, thanks to the characteristics of the tropical Leo and Sagittarius signs – they will never swerve therefrom and ready for moving heaven and earth to finish the project on schedule. By this approach, we can evoke the mythologem of Heracles, the greatest of the Greek heroes, and his twelve difficult trials, that required huge power and persistence, for gaining the utmost award, the immortality.

Therefore, now you can leave mediocrity and try to be simply exceptional: this time is suitable for everyone to start any demanding – id est: ’Herculean’  🙂 – tasks.

Venus trine Saturn – experiencing bittersweet feelings

Venus trine Saturn will occur on June 1st, 2017 at 15:23:10 UT (11:23:10 EDT).

Venus trine Saturn ’makes’ the person faithful and true, just and methodical, qualities which make for success in all departments of life. Thus a person with this aspects will be much sought as a friend or advisor, or as a person to be trusted with any commission requiring sterling honesty and ability. But the saturnine accent turns emotions inevitably towards the darkling themes that is not unpleasant now (thanks to the ’trine’ aspect), therefore it may bring at the same time a ’bittersweet’ melancholy or ­– as (retrograde) Saturn is in the tropical Sagittarius, some nostalgic or reminiscent feelings which suddenly spring (Aries Venus conjunct Uranus).  >> More Astro Info

Sun in Taurus – facing the Minotaur’s enigma

Sun’s  ingress into tropical Taurus happened on April 19th, 2018 at 23:12 EDT).

The mythologem of the Minotaur – half-man and half-bull monster, who lived in the depths of a labyrinth and was vanquished finally by the hero, Theseus – makes us acquainted with the essentials of the spiritual task of the natives having natal Taurus Sun. As Minotaur symbolizes the lower instinctual and animalistic nature of the human being by which we can be trapped into the ’Samsara’-like ’Maze’ of the persistent incarnations, Theseus is the higher Self being able to ’transmutate’ these lower forces into controllable spiritual qualities – with the aid of the ’Thread of Ariadne’ that means the ’Feminine Power’ or, which is the same thing, the ’Pure Intuition’.

Of course, for a native with Taurus Sun, similarly to that having Taurus Ascendant, it is not easy to live without sensual pleasures, but there is no problem with this ’joie-de-vivre’ if native is constantly looking for the ’subtle’ principles beyond the merely ’fleshly’ level… If he/she learns to be more and more  ’vigilant’ or ’waking’ concerning the control of the somatic and psychosomatic processes,  the instinctual drives may lose their compelling strength progressively and fleshly desires can be transformed step by step into the enjoyment of the higher psychic and spiritual recognitions… Transcending our latent animal dispositions as well as transforming the stubbornness into perseverance and the stupefying material inquiries into uncompromising and systematic thinking – these are the most important spiritual duties of each native having natal Taurus Sun.   >>>  More Astro Info

Sun conjunct Uranus in Aries – the rebellious zeal: destroying conventionalities

Sun conjunct Uranus will occur on April 14th, 2017 at 05:30:07 UT (01:30:07 EDT) in tropical Aries, sidereal and constellational Pisces.

Actually, it is the juncture of the formative power of the Fire (Sun) and the highest intuitive stream (Uranus), in the inflexible ’substance’ of the tropical Aries. That meeting, in the case of an instinctual intermingling, may result in a riotous ravage; but, in the event that these forces become equalized and the solar principle can preserve its ruling force, this is nothing less than a necessary and useful transmutation, the opportunity to create novelties instead of lugging the utterly blank habits.

Anyway, in the medical astrology, because of the high levels of a persistent inner tension, Aries Sun conjunct Aries Uranus, with an afflicted Moon or Mercury in the natal chart, indicates a severe inclination for stroke and several cardiovascular disorders in every case and in every astrological house.     >>> More Astro Info

Taurus Mars trine Capricorn Pluto – manifestations of the inner ’chthonic ’ energies

This ’earthly’ trine will occur April 6th, 2017 at 04:00:40 UT (00:00:40 EDT).  ’Chthonic’ means here the ’subterranean’ but it is basically not equivalent to the ’Hell’ or some other ’devilish’ attributes, this is truly the innermost occult part of a human being or any other entity that Alchemists consider as the ’Saturnian Fire’ or the ’Salt’ providing the adequate individual Form and the firm existential base – containing at the same time the Supreme Ruling (Volitional) Principle called the ’Central Seed of Salt’. This is analogically joint to the osseous system or the skeleton; it is not accidental that we can find in the Old Egyptian Pyramid Texts such metaphorical description of an earthquake: ’ The bones of Aker [Earth and Death Deity] tremble. ’ Though ’trine’ is accounted as a pretty harmonic aspect in astrology, the raising occult powers can be so mighty and ’eruptive’ here that Taurus Mars trine Capricorn Pluto – with certain additional afflictions – may result in earthquakes, storms, eruptions, cunamis or other natural disasters. Some mundane events during the recent Taurus Mars trine Capricorn Pluto aspects: the eruption of Grímsvötn, Iceland’s most active volcano (May 21st, 2011), the Joplin Tornado in Missouri (May 22nd, 2011) and the great earthquake in Nepal (April 25th, 2015)   >>> More Info

Best time to spot Mercury in the evening sky

Mercury, the ’innermost planet’, reaches its greatest eastern elongation on April  1st, 2017. Thus these days, observers of northern-based locations (as, within this cycle, the opportunity of Mercury’s evening visibility for stargazers in southern hemisphere won’t come) should be able to catch this planet, seldom visible to the naked eye, low down above the western horizon just after sunset (see chart below).

Mercury’s orbit lies close to the Sun (maximum elongation is between 18° and 28°), meaning that it is observable at best not more than for a few days each time it reaches greatest separation from the Sun.

After April 1st, Mercury sinks gradually back towards the horizon until it becomes lost to the bright twilight, roughly 10 days later.  >>> More Info

Aries Mars trine Sagittarius Saturn – opportunity to overcome difficulties by being persistent

Aries Mars trine Sagittarius Saturn indicates a good time to begin some kind of hard physical or intellectual work as it gives both endurance and prudence to finish what you started. The actions can be now well scripted and the impulses suitably controlled. This is an opportunity to overcome difficulties by being persistent, to start a diet, exercise program and so on.

In natal charts, Aries Mars trine Sagittarius Saturn ’gives’ a determined and energetic nature capable of intense and sustained action and of obtaining unusual results thereby. The executive ability, dominant forcefulness and endurance of these people are remarkable and consequently they are mostly accomplishing what others cannot achieve. Hence – with some other harmonic aspects – they often rise to prominent positions and are much esteemed on account of their ability, but they are seldom liked, for this aspect generally makes the character cruel and hard. This gives generally a strong physique and good health, but often with the risk to overstrain oneself.

Famous People with natal Aries Mars trine Sagittarius Saturn

Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) had this aspect in his radix, but – as the birth time is unverified – the accurate positions of these planets within the house system are unknown. (Otherwise, his musical talent is mostly indicated by /(PLU conj. SUN conj. VEN): PIS/ trine /URA:SCO/.)

Émile Zola (1840–1902) had Saturn in his 1st natal house, indicating an inclination to detect the miseries and sufferings of the human existence, and – with Mars conjunct Mercury at the cusp of his 5th house – he made it his duty to write about them, establishing his well-known ’naturalism’.

Michael Flatley (1958–) has his Saturn in the 3rd radix house and Mars in the 7th one. The former indicates the persistent diligence, the latter the healthy exhibitionism; besides, he has a Libra ascendant and a Gemini Venus in the 9th house… Beyond all question, they are perfect dispositions to be a successful dancer.   >>> More Astro Info
