Thanks a lot Raymond Scott! Fascinating stuff! Didn't know Zipporah Dobyns -- looking forward to reading more of her findings.

PS wasn't aware of asteroid Fanatica -- checked Putin's natal: he has Fanatica conjunct SUn.
And right now transiting Fanatica is conjunct Jupiter. Lots of fanaticism in the air right now...

Zipporah Dobyns was the mother of astrologers Maritha Pottenger and Mark Pottenger.



based off my birthdata
October 29, 1971
San Francisco, California
3:20 AM

My Sun in 5'20 Scorpio are conjunct the following within an orb of 1 degree:

Lincoln in 4'25 Scorpio
Fanatica in 4'27 Scorpio
Aurora in 4'27 Scorpio
Iphigenia in 4'44 Scorpio
Selquet in 4'44 Scorpio
Ariadne in 5'03 Scorpio
Ixion in 5'25 Scorpio
South Eris Node in 5'30 Scorpio
True Black Moon Lilith in 5'42 Scorpio R
Athor in 6'10 Scorpio


I am not a fanatic of any kind. I even do my best to have a "to each, his/her own" in my approach to life.

Being born on October 29th, I was born on the day of the annual conjunction of Sun and the South Eris Node (conjunction of Earth and North Eris Node in Heliocentric).
Interestingly, it occurs on the day of the conjunction of the Sun and alpha Bootes star Arcturus in Right Ascension. I have the conjunction with an orb of 2 minutes, 12 seconds of Sidereal Time which is the equivalent of 33 minutes of arc.

I am very interested in planetary nodes which have been used by Grant Lewi, Carl Payne Tobey, Dane Rudhyar, Jeffrey Green, Robert Hand, Theodor Landscheidt, Philip Sedgwick, and others.
Robert Hand pointed out his own Sun conjunct South Uranus Node in books.

I have Zipporah Dobyn's The Node Book which includes not only information on the lunar nodes and geocentric planetary nodes. It also includes information on the geocentric nodes of Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta.

I have been looking at nodes of all objects. I look at both geocentric and heliocentric. Geocentric nodes of asteroids are personal themes. Heliocentric nodes of asteroids are collective themes.

In Jeff Green's system of Evolutionary Astrology, geocentric south nodes have to do with pastlife themes.

Did you notice that Zipporah Dobyns mentions the Antivertex? She viewed it as an auxilliary ascendant. Her Maritha Pottenger wrote a book about the East Point and Antivertex and both are considered auxilliary ascendants.

I actually have United Nations in 15'15 Leo conjunct Antivertex in 14'58.

I am a multiracial American that is highly multiethnic. It is one of the things that influenced me to be a bit idealistic including the belief that there should be unity and universal love.
My main religious, spiritual beliefs are Pantheism, Reincarnation, and the Golden Rule.

That's a whole lot of stuff and a colorful mix going on in your birth chart and heritage Raymond Scott!

Busy with other things but ran asteroids Gold, Olympus and Olympiada on the inspiring wolrdrecord smashing Olympic speedskating gold winner Nils VanderPoel (birth time unknown):

Natal
Mars in Aries conjunct Olympiada
Vesta conjunct Olympus
Gold conjunct Eris exactly square Jupiter widely conjunct Mars(7degrees orb)

Transits
TR Mars and Venus conjunct natal Jupiter
TR Olympus opposite natal Jupiter
TR Gold conjunct natal Olympus

Anna, have you ever tried Records 30718 for these sorts of stories?

Beijing 2022 had Sun conjunct Olympia, squared Gold, with Olympiada (named for the games themselves, known as "Olympiads") at station, conjunct a stationing Champion.

China conjunct Nike (victory), Venus and Mars (athletes), squared Victoria. Top medal earners so far are Norway (Norge - Norwegian for Norway - conjunct China/Nike); Germany (Germania - also conjunct China/Nike); and US (America opposed China/Nike).

Peking conjunct Panacea (medicines) and squared Neptune (drugs), so there's your doping scandal. Filling in the details for Kamila Valieva is Camilla conjunct Peking and Valyaev exact with Neptune.

Valieva has Mars conjunct Peking, China conjunct Neptune, Valentine (for the heart med) conjunct Russia, both at station. Also at station is Victoria, on the Apex of a Yod with China and Olympia. But Victoria is squared by NOT, a general disqualifier, and China is conjoined by Lacrimosa (tears), squared the Sun, for the tearful end to her quest for Olympic Gold.

It's all there, just like always.

wow wow Alex that's great research!
and no, i wasn't aware of records, thank you - will play with it!

another one from my personal life:
last Saturday I made an illustration for the movie The Power of the Dog. Afterwards I went for a run in the hills and got bitten by a dog.
So I had to check
using dogora, doggett and dogo for the dog
bitias, bittesini and morde (close to french mordre) for the bite
and Hills

lunar return
Dogo conjunct LR Asc

transits:
TR Moon conj TR Bittesini conj my NN opposite my natal Bitias&Hill&Morde
TR Doggett & Morde conjunct my natal Mars
TR Hill & Dogora conj my natal Uranus

makes one wonder about Free Will vs Destiny

Free What, now?

Alex, if we knew the date and time of the Big Bang, we could check asteroids Freeman, Wil and Not

Hi Anna,

Aren't the date and time of the Big Bang quite obvious? They would have to be something like 0000; for all we know, it was the beginning of time! (And of the asteroids, or rather, the particles that would constitute them eventually.)

Could we use the World Horoscope (Thema Mundi) ?

I like the idea! Only thing, you need to find out now about each cosmic pebble which sign it "rules" and plug it in there.

Michael and Ouranos, what about making a horary for the the question "do we have free will?'

Meanwhile, I checked in my own natal chart, I have asteroids Destine and Wil in an exact conjunction, exactly trine my Ascendant! Which makes me suspect there's an equal part of destiny and free will, at least in my life. Check where you all have yours

Anna, you have a typo on Destine - it's Destinn. mine's opposed the Moon, trine Mercury, with Wil squared Saturn; they are semisextile each other.

I see that as congenital health issues/Moon (I was born with a heart defect), and fated to be a writer/Mercury (I have been a published author from age 6), but my Free Will ain't so free, with Saturn curbing it.
