So, basically, there is no way of softening, escaping or bargaining with SA/NE.

Always challenge what I say. Test it by yourself. The truth I have found with my chart might not be a universal system. And I have learned by challenging what other astrologers have said... and also learned a lot by listening to what they were saying.
Basically, you win and you have recorded the time. Now you can begin to verify what made you win and validate that.

Here is my experience with the midpoint SA/NE in my chart. I am at the casino with a $25 chip in my hand and I am observing players at a table of roulette. I am thinking to put my chip on number 25 but behind my mind I know that this midpoint is culminating in my chart.
I refrain from playing and the number 25 comes out. I would say that people I have met with the Sun in this midpoint in my life are naturally gifted to sense the vibrations around them. Being known as the midpoint of sickness as per the books, it is partially true. For many are engaged in healing professions and they can work in areas requiring compassion. But a casino is a different ball game.
SA/NE is the story of the 'sacrificed lamb' (or goat).
And it reminds me that these 2 planets are approaching the World Point (0 Aries).
In many cultures, animals, especially sheep or lambs, were sometimes used in rituals to appease gods or spirits, with the lamb being a symbol of innocence and purity. The sacrifice of a lamb could symbolize a gesture of offering to ensure prosperity, fertility or protection from evil spirits. And I am thinking of Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine which may very well be the sacrifice on the altar as a trade to the war.

For the chart with the T-Square on page 3 of this thread, I have pulled a report in Solar Fire for the month of March with aspects to the 2nd House, including the natal Sun, Mars and Pluto which are tied to this house. (conjunction, opposition, trine, sextile).
In blue, transit to transit. In green, transit to natal.

These are mostly Moon transits but you will notice that on
March 5th, the transiting Sun joins the transiting Moon.
March 27th up to March 29th, the transiting Moon joins transiting Jupiter sextiling the natal Sun and 2nd House. That is very good!
Check the Partial NM Eclipse ASC right on his natal Jupiter. And the SU/MO in the midpoint JU/PL.
What you want to do is investigate the diurnals around these days and see how they connect to these transits.
A single transit may not be enough but if you combine 2 transiting planets or more, that's what you need to focus on.

I truly appreciate the interest you showed up in my system Sandysand. It is a good way to make me grow in my understanding as I test it on other charts than mine.

In a subsequent post, I will try to show you a report on how to handle squares for the example chart.

Best to you,
Ouranos

Here is another report for your location in March 2025
The focus is power points activated by the hard aspects.

I have used the transiting conjunctions, squares and oppositions.
Not included are the semi-squares and sesqui-quadrates as they require a different approach.

If we look at the example chart on page 3, we see that he has some powerful squares connected to his 2nd House cusp
SU/MA = 1 Can 09 (45Wheel = 1.09)
MA/PL = 16 Leo 00 (45Wheel = 1.00)
SU/PL = 0 Lib 09 (45Wheel = 0.09)
and
MO/JU = 15 Tau 37 (45Wheel = 0.37)

Search in the 45Wheel column when 2 planets will be around 0 and 1 degree
Example
March 2 (43.18)
March 7 (43.01)
March 22 (2.05) and (2.57)
March 23 (2.39)
March 28 (44.1) (0.53)

What you need to do is to adjust the orb between the 2 planets to be within 5 minutes of orb and place the natal and/or transiting planets Angular or in the midpoint A/M.
Planets/MC and Planets/AS also.

This report can be used for powerful midpoints or planets area in the natal chart.
Example: March 2nd, the Sun square Jupiter in the sky = his natal Jupiter and ASC.
Try to get this natal Jupiter-AS and/or transiting Sun and Jupiter Angular.

Tip: My recommendation is to use this for a one-time hit but check the diurnal if it confirms some longer trend for the day.

Good luck!
Ouranos

Here is my shortcut version of the above and the one giving the best returns.

1) Transiting Hard aspect to Jupiter with the midpoint over natal Jupiter or Jupiter midpoint. (Conjunction, opposition, square)
2) Transiting Hard aspect to Jupiter with the midpoint over a personal point well configured in your chart.
3) Transiting Hard aspect between 2 planets other than Jupiter (skip the Moon and avoid Saturn or Neptune) with the midpoint over natal Jupiter or Jupiter midpoint.

Try if you can to position the AS, MC or A/M in this midpoint by conjunction, square or opposition. From 2 degrees to exact.
If you have a transiting planet in hard aspect to one of your planet, use the transiting Planet/AS or Planet/MC over the above.

With this being said, it is possible that you can find a natal Saturn or Neptune midpoint near a Jupiter midpoint in your chart. Different scenarios are possible.
1) I have tested a Saturn midpoint 20 minutes on the 45 Wheel behind a Jupiter midpoint and the Jupiter midpoint responded well.
2) If the Saturn or Neptune midpoint is behind, do not engage until this midpoint is over by at least 10 minutes.
3) If the Saturn or Neptune midpoint is after, stop after you win.

My dear Ouranos,

Sorry for a belated response!

Know that, despite the warning you've given about SA/NE, I still went and tested because I just wanted to see what's going to happen. Here's how it went.

Look at this beauty! This is my diurnal for 24.2.2025.

Let me break this down:

PROS
dASC is in Virgo 23°48'
trMO cooperating
trUR is also in my n2 and d9

dASC is also conjunct my nSU at 23°33' and opposing my nASC at 24°46' Pisces
notice that trUR is applying to my nSU by a minute
trMA, ruler of my d8 and co-ruler of my n8, is finally out of opposition to nSA, ruler of my n11

CONS
trSA/NE midpoint is opposing my dASC and is conjunct my nMA/NE midpoint
d2 cusp is squaring my nSA in Capricorn, ruler of my n11

Unfortunately, UR rules n12 and d6. Despite it not ruling any of the money / lucky houses, I still put my faith in UR being, well, UR. That UR is also transiting my nASC (sextile), my prASC (conjunction) but also going into a square with my nMO (ruler of my n5)

What happened?
I decided to buy a lottery ticket via website when trMO was closely applying to trUR.
At the moment of purchase, trLOS/UR midpoint was conjuncting my nMA/JU midpoint and opposing my nUR (MA, JU, and UR = natal yod). trSU/MA and trVE/JU midpoints were also conjuncting my n2 cusp.

I remember your story about going to a casino once and all the seats were taken. I said, "NAY! I'll be prepared!" I logged in at 19:52. I chose my numbers. I was clicking around from time to time, scrolling the page up and down just to not get logged out due to inactivity. Here come 20:12 when I chose to purchase the ticket. Just as I was about to click the button to purchase it, I got logged out. My heart sank. Well, it so happens that the website doesn't just log you out due to inactivity, the website automatically logs you out after 20 minutes.

IT. WAS. AWESOME.

I came there to play but in the end I was the one being played.

----------------------

Honestly, hoping for the best possible outcome in this case for Zelenskyy and Ukraine. I do not want to get political in this thread but I do not support authoritarianism. I am curious to see what happens to Russia and Vladimir Putin with the upcoming conjunction of Saturn and Neptune as these two planets seem to have a hold on Russia and Eastern Europe. Across the pond, The Orange Idiot is already making a circus, also wondering how the upcoming eclipse is going to affect him - if he makes it out 2025 alive, he has the biggest plot armor I've ever seen.

For the chart with the T-Square on page 3 of this thread, I have pulled a report in Solar Fire for the month of March with aspects to the 2nd House, including the natal Sun, Mars and Pluto which are tied to this house. (conjunction, opposition, trine, sextile).

These are mostly Moon transits but you will notice that on

Ouranos

ASC of the solar eclipse on the 29th March is not only on his nJU and nASC, but the eclipse itself in the event chart for his location is right on his nMC in Aries (and event chart's MC as well). On top of that, in the event chart, the 2nd cusp is conjunct his nSU and n2. VErx is also making a trine to the event chart's ASC as well as to his own nASC and nJU. Basically, the eclipse is happening on his MC and the event chart's cusps mirror his chart.
As you mentioned, later in the day trMO is conjoining trJU and softly aspecting n2 and nSU.
Ideally, I'd ask him to buy a lottery ticket when trMO conjuncts d2, but trMO is not cooperating on that day. On top of that, d2 is squaring his nSA, co-ruler of his n8. Nevertheless, I'll ask him to play around the time when trMO makes an aspect to both nSU, n2, and trJU in the evening. If he manages to play at that time, that would be great. I've selected the time between 21:45 and 23:35, but will fine-tune it later. I have to check for SA/NE and transiting midpoints.

Every one of your posts I have to write down and re-read a couple of times because there is so much information and I am, sometimes, a bit slow. I have a notebook just for your posts / guidelines. Imagine that!

Sincerely,
Sandysand

Here's my diurnal for the 9th of March.



As per Sophia Mason, a lucky day is when a transit or natal planet is trine the dASC from the 5th or 9th house. Or, from the 2nd or 8th house as per Ouranos' testing (in the case study thread, IIRC). In my diurnal for the 9th of March, trPL is applying in a trine to the diurnal ASC. In my natal chart, PL rules n8. Pluto in the diurnal is in the 4th and currently transiting my n11. However, it's a trine and I am going to gamble with it. trMO is also not cooperating - going into an opposition to trPL. There's no third planet that will resolve this opposition - I am not sure if sextile from trMO and a trine from trPL to ASC/7 line will do the same, i.e. resolve that opposition. trVE, ruler of the n2 / d2 is making aspects that are +1° degree. trMA, ruler of d8 and co-ruler of n8, is making an opposition to my nSA.

Won one smaller jackpot when transit AS/7 was conjunct Pluto. Won two smaller jackpots when trMC was conjunct MC/PL. Other points I couldn't test due to a) I had an appointment, b) I was mummified (sensitive points activated between 4 am and 7 am). Combined, I won around 100 euros.

Thinking back now, I wish I tested that 11° of Aquarius where diurnal LoS is - that's also my nASC/MC midpoint.
__________________

Currently, I am in the state of dread because of the upcoming eclipses. I am also hopeful because in my diurnals I will be a Libra for some time. On the 14th of March, my dASC will be making a trine to nMA, ruler of d2 and n8, with a trVE joining in as well with a sextile / opposition. trJU is still in Gemini so looking forward to that.

Sandysand,

Sorry that you missed the Feb 24th lottery ticket but congratulations on your win of March 9th. There will be other opportunities.

Power points:

I would like to explain a little more on the use of the Power points (conj, opp, square) during a month.
On any given date, you find when a hard aspect will perfect but it is not like an exact point or it's gone if you don't have a lucky placement in your chart.
Usually the aspect will build up the days preceding except for the Moon which culminates the same day. For this I start looking at this point about + or - 4 days before and after.
Let's take the example of ME cj VE at 8ºAri47'.
Should you find a lucky midpoint or planet + or - 2 degrees before or after (from 6º47 to 10º47 on the 45Wheel = 6º47 to 10º47 Cardinal or 21º47 to 25º47 Fix) then you need to find out when the aspect will be exact to within 0º05' of that lucky placement)

If it is a Power Point formed by 2 planets and one of them is Jupiter, you can use any personal natal points. Best is a Power Point of JU meeting a natal JU or JU midpoint.
If it is a Power Point formed by 2 planets not involving Jupiter, you will need to match it with the transiting JU/AS or JU/MC midpoints.

So when looking at diurnals, always keep in mind the Power Points areas and see how they are tied to your natal and/or diurnal.

In your example chart, besides the T-Square, look at JU/PL = 36º24' and SU/JU = 36º33' (6 Fix - 21 Mut) which is a lucky area worth keeping an eye on.

---------------

Every place on Earth has different gaming or lottery rules and it is always good to get to know what they are. I would not recommend playing on websites outside your juridiction as I have heard horror stories or litigations when people win.
Define your budget, don't play every day and plan ahead (I like 1 month in advance).
There was a time when I used to chase every small opportunities but ending up with small rewards. Why not wait for strong green signals? (understanding Jupiter here!)
Worse, I was not happy when I won and I was off by 15 minutes
My own experience led me to believe that most of the time, only 2 or 3 days during a month can be enough to make up your luck.
10 times, when Lady Luck was on my side, I won between 10 to 16 thousand $ during a month.
And Jupiter and/or the 2nd House and the Diurnals were involved.
Is my system perfect? Of course not, a program or AI in the future will be able to sort out and re-arrange the dance between the natal and transiting planets to come up with an instant flash or picture with a green signal.
It is just a matter of time.
Sometimes, I feel like I am repeating myself but maybe saying it in a different way could be more exact. Like the book of Sophia Mason, I don't know how many times I read and re-read it, re-arranged what she was saying, isolating one element and starting over again until I was able to grasp what she was saying from the start.
Winning is like a pyramid that you build from the ground up until you come up with only a few blocks reliable enough to put in your sleeve. Your chart is unique but it contains universal principles. If you have been given Row A from the start, your approach will be slightly different than someone sitting in Row B but in the end, that's what you need to discover with your own chart.

Best to you,
Ouranos

I'll ask him to play around the time when trMO makes an aspect to both nSU, n2, and trJU in the evening. If he manages to play at that time, that would be great. I've selected the time between 21:45 and 23:35, but will fine-tune it later.

Start when transiting Jupiter is on the cusp of the 8th (Topocentric) at 21h18'55 , being sextile to the transiting Moon
Also in the midpoint trMO/nSU.

I play via national lottery website because I temporarily live out of the country. I did send them an email and they told me I can play even if I am not living in the country at the moment. Now, when playing via website, there is another trickery and it concerns banks. If you use your debit card to buy tickets or gamble online, the banks will take notice of that. You might not be eligible for a loan if you used your card on a gambling site as you are deemed "unreliable". I use Revolut for this and a foreign bank account that, hopefully, cannot be linked to back to me.

When I started, I looked for opportunities every day and tried to push my luck. In my natal, MA 150 UR - the urge to get those "quick wins" that more often than not backfire is strong in me. I have a list of potential dates for March and April. Just to be a couple of steps ahead and then I start planning as the date nears.

Sophia mentions in her book "Follow the rules below for winning at any time. This can occur more than twenty times a month." Ma'am, where? So far, my experience is also two, maybe three lucky times during one month. I said I am going to track throughout February what's happening to my 2nd house. Let me tell you - nothing, I was just hemorrhaging money. The one time when I had a "winning time" (dASC trine trUR with MO cooperating), I got played. Which is understandable - you cannot win every day, every time. There's time to play and there is time to wait for the time to play, I guess. I just don't know where she got this "more than twenty time a month". Natal chart potential? Decoding the chart via midpoints? Why did she only leave us with two examples in her book?

Sophia also puts a lot of emphasis on trines to dASC. I collected winning times for a bunch of lottery winners. I haven't done a deep dive yet, I just glanced over them. For most of them, I couldn't find the time of purchase, but they had interesting diurnals on the day of the win. dASC wasn't activated as much via trines (except the biggest lottery winner for whom I have the time of purchase due to a lawsuit), but the 1st house and it's ruler, 2nd, 8th, and 10th house were.

Yes, sometimes you do but you say it differently and with an additional example and I thank you for that on the behalf of all of us who are reading your posts! You have a lot of patience!

Sophia mentions in her book "Follow the rules below for winning at any time. This can occur more than twenty times a month." Ma'am, where?

I felt the same when I read that. She also says "I am not promising that you will win large amounts because you would have to have the potential in your natal chart".
That is a key factor.
Why spend time and energy to win $5 to $10?

FOCUS ON JUPITER MIDPOINTS

And this is where the midpoints can be useful. Look at the Jupiter midpoints in your chart. Every month, you can have 2 planets making a hard aspect to one of these midpoints. Focus on these.

Last year, I watched 'Financial Astrology' Episode 458 with Grace K. Morris on theastrologypodcast website of Chris Brennan.
Grace K. Morris is an acclaimed professional astrologer, timing/trend specialist, and business advisor. (astroeconomics.com)
She’s successfully worked with businesses large and small throughout the world. Clients include CEOs and CFOs from all different fields: medical, financial, real estate, manufacturing, and retail.
She said "Somewhere along the line, I discovered that there’s a magic formula for stocks that go over a thousand dollars a share...the secret formula is Sun, Jupiter, Pluto in any kind of combination. In Tesla’s chart, it’s a T-square."
https://theastrologypodcast.com/transcr ... ce-morris/

She confirmed the importance of Jupiter for financial success...and winning.

Natal Jupiter and Jupiter midpoints and transiting Jupiter and Jupiter midpoints.
Elon Musk has JU/PL= MC and Zeus (leadership, creation, to want to lead or to command)
Warren Buffet has JU/PL= MC and JU conjunct PL semi-square SU
I have a friend with a 2nd House in Capricorn and he made a lot of money in his life. Why? He's got his 2nd House in the midpoint JU/PL. And you will find many examples with wealthy people. JUPITER.
You have VE and NE tied to your 2nd House. Find a day when a planet is in hard aspect to Jupiter and the midpoint falls in your midpoint VE/NE. Focus on what I said above.

Be well,
Ouranos

David Cochrane wrote an article on Grand Sextiles in Modern Times
https://www.astrosoftware.com/cpnew/a_a ... tiles.html

He says:
"A grand sextile pattern is also often referred to as a Star of David pattern. A grand sextile pattern occurs when 6 planets are placed in 60 degree angles from each other and thus forming the Star of David pattern.

How often does a grand sextile occur? This depends on what planets are used and what orb is used. I analyzed the years 1900 to 2025 using the 10 planets often used in modern astrology, Sun through Pluto. I set the maximum allowable orb to 5 degrees. Using these criteria, grand sextile patterns occurred only 2 times between 1900 and 2025."
And he goes on to list them between 1900 to 2025.

Below is the next one in August 2025
Tran PL - SA,MO,NE - UR,AD - ME,VU - MA

"The Harmonic rectangle points to the potential development of a character strongly organized in an attempt to take an important step in personal growth and/or spritual development. The configuration tends to bring the polarized elements symbolized by the opposing planets into a unity because a strong sense of organization (sextile) and a cohesive, purposeful vision (trine) are potential in the personality"
(Rael, Rudhyar) Astrological Aspects, p. 178
--------------------
I have observed that this particular planetary pattern tends to be highly beneficial when it forms an aspect to the 2nd House cusp (or planets in 2nd), often indicating luck and the potential for significant financial gain. Depending on which planets are activated by the transit, similar opportunities can manifest in other areas of life as well.

As we move out of the Full Moon in Capricorn, which calls on us to release or let go (opposition) of old habits (Cap MO) and ways of living that no longer align with our deeper aspirations or goals (Can SU) , this planetary pattern may represent an opportunity to commit to a new direction—one that holds the potential for meaningful growth and expansion.
