One more thing.....Conflicting statements in a chart. Whatever is said by any factor in a chart is true. If there is conflict in what the chart says, there is conflict within the personality or behavior of the native. One does not negate the other. The challenge then becomes weighing the relative po...

Also, Vasanth gave good advice here. The condition of Mars is of first importance in this particular case, because he is the lord of Scorpio and determines what goes on there and why. If you will "read" Mars in this particular chart you will see what determines or disposes this conjunction...

On the Fall of a Planet A planet in fall indicates a loss of attachment or hold; it suggests going from a higher or better position to a lower or inferior one. It indicates a loss of support. Fall can show collapse. It signifies overthrow or capture. When in fall a planet may connote yielding to sin or temptation. Moral la...

Thanks Melina. So far we have "hyleg and alchocoden", and "Secondary Progressions plus Returns." One astrologer here claims about 80% accuracy given a span of +/- 2 years, using hyleg/alchocoden, with 10 trial charts as the sample. The proponent of seconday progressions looks for...

Yes, mjacob, I know you mentioned rectification, not longevity. I specifically said that in my post. But with a death at age 27, the question of longevity comes up. If Mrs. Winehouse brings me her daughter Amy's birth data and wants to know about her daughter's future..... Not a case of infant morta...

Here's my original post: am curious to know what techniques you use to determine longevity from the natal chart. I would appreciate descriptions of methods in enough detail so that I can test them. I see nothing sarcastic in it, nor any expectation of performance. After 52 astrologers had dropped in...

Well by golly, I'm just a bit puzzled. So far this thread has had 52 visitors, most of whom, given the nature of this forum, I assume to be astrologers. Not one answer. What does this mean? No one examines the probable longevity of a client? Despite what Ptolemy said about it being the first thing t...

Paul quotes from an unidentied source: "Transiting Pluto conjunct Moon brings major life changing experiences and these changes are deeply felt at the emotional level. Pluto conjunct the Moon will bring up intense psychological issues from deep in the soul, which will lead to a complete transfo...

Transit of Saturn I am here to report on the transit of Saturn over my natal Moon. In just a few hours the transiting Moon will come to the conjunction of transiting Saturn, who is now within degree of my natal Moon. Venus, ruler of Libra where this thrice in a lifetime transit occurs, is exactly sextile from Sagitta... Forum: Nativities & General Astrology Topic: Poll: do/did you notice your Pluto transits?

Dajorok: I really think the "what you are comfortable with" is not such a bad idea, and even better "what works best for you," that is, seems to give you reliable results consistently. I use Placidus. It seems to work very well. One night, in the wee hours, a friend of mine calle...

Yes, you can delete them. Astrologers did wonderful things without them. Look at Martin Luther's chart (the original Martin Luther) and you can see his obsession with "Purification", which was driving force in his accomplishments. But when you add the modern planets to the chart, they add ... Forum: Nativities & General Astrology Topic: Poll: do/did you notice your Pluto transits?
