Fall Equinox Astrology Chart, Outlook for Sept 21 - Dec 21, 2021

 Astrology Chart ~ Fall Equinox 2021

I am a little late posting this, now that I am doing a newsletter, I need to remember to post some of that information here. But if you want to receive it on time, do sign up, it is free and will come directly to your email box once each month. 

2021 Autumnal Equinox - The Sun enters the Cardinal Sign of Libra Above you see the chart for the United States for the last quadrant of the first trasformational year in this new Air Cycle.  This chart shows progress with some lovely openings in a grand trine (see the big blue triangle) and a mystic rectangle (see the big blue rectangle.) These are exciting signatures of what we will experience during the next three months until the Winter Solstice on December 21st.  So let's dive in and see what it is all about for the USA.   The first thing we note is Pluto in the first house, ruler of the 10th & 11th houses in a square (not applying by seven minutes) to Mercury in the 9th, ruler of the 6th and 9th. This tells us that we are challenged to transform our health, our employment, our military, the way we serve, as well as the way we import or export goods, the way we handle our legal processes, our public relations, media, social media, marketing and advertising. We are challenged to transform our court systems, judges, corporations and international organizations and companies. Basically we are working to transform the way we are seen in the world and we are loudly speaking about it.  Saturn is also in the 1st house and rules it and the 2nd house in this chart, telling us we will work hard on our national income, our values and the way we are seen in the world. Our hard work will move us forward in our goals to socialize, invest in our children, our marketplace, our crafts and our security. The doorway of opportunity opens with these issues, as the grand trine includes the Sun and Mars in the 9th house rulers of the 8th, the Mc, and the 11th. This indicates we will see more success in higher education which is likely to include international students, and all forms of social media, marketing, advertising and travel. We will have the energy to do these things and the president is actively promoting all of it to the public. This falls clearly into investing in our infrastructure from roads and bridges to wifi and schooling while upping cyber security. All of these issues are key in this three month time frame and all will be noticeable. Additionally it appears that we are finding new stability with our old allies and our place in the world is returning.  Jupiter in the 2nd house ruler of the 3rd and 11th, in trine to Mercury in the 9th ruler of the 6th and 9th, indicates we have the opportunity to expand income, and health. We are freeing more people from confinement, which may be in hospitals as well as home isolation due to health issues. Our views or values are expanding as regards to health and our knowledge is expanding from international sources as well as through all forms of media. There is no shortage of information and it is more honest in this period. . But Neptune, also in this 2nd house hitting a midpoint between the Moon and Jupiter continues to frustrate us with questions about this disease, emotional pain, emotional anger, a desire to move faster, and stress about it that lags on. This position creates confusion and frustration. So if you were hoping the disease is gone, it does not appear to have left in this chart, or at least the questions, lies and concerns, as well as the emotional anger over it, is still part of our world during the next three months.  The Moon in the 3rd house, ruler of the 7th house, opposes Mercury in the 9th and ruler of the 6th and 9th houses. This is a mental, media and communication balancing act between people in our nation and internationally, about the disease, service and military. A lot of hot emotional aggressive talk on these topics creates a struggle with no clear winners. Emotional pain and anger over hospitalizations and possibly prisons, expands and exposes more challenges that have been hidden.  Uranus in the 4th co-ruler of the 2nd opposes Venus in the 10th, ruler of the 4th and 5th; indicates the emotional struggle with homeless people, a lack of housing security, migration and changes in careers due to working from home, and changes in the way we socialize or how we work and also help our children socialize or learn. There is nothing settled with physical property or emotions in this chart. It is a nation at war with the things we love and the judgements that have more control. We are in emotional turmoil and have lost any sense of security. Socializing is a struggle, kids at home are a struggle and things just keep changing with nothing settled. The fact that Uranus is conjunct Menkar in this chart tells us that we are all feeling this sense of uneasiness, for some it will make it hard to sleep on nights when the Moon is between 12 and 14 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius or Leo. We feel a deep sense of humanities needs and the consciousness of the planet seeps into our night dreams.  Lastly, there seems to be a note hidden in this chart based on the day and hour, which is a day of Mercury and the hour is ruled by the Moon. Here the statement reads, the emotions of the nation's people can only be resolved if we talk to each other. Not aggressively but with kindness recognizing we are family.   Michele Avanti CAP, is an ISAR Certified Astrology Professional, with over 30 years working with clients worldwide.

Saturn in Capricorn To Join Pluto - Awaiting The New Year

Awaiting 2018

Now we are in the tunnel, the dark night of soul as we turn the corner to a whole new year of life. A year that begins a more intense journey into Capricorn as Saturn moves toward Pluto and will join Pluto in January of 2020 and later that year, in November we will see Saturn, Pluto & Jupiter within 4 degrees, all in Capricorn. This is a time to ponder all that Capricorn brings to the table of our world and your life. The little pig who built the house of bricks, built a Capricorn home. To build one, we must be organized, disciplined and then work hard to create a structure of quality that will last for a long time. When Creator made our bodies, It gave Capricorn and Saturn the job of skin and bones, the job of both basic skeletal structure and the covering of skin to protect it. Additionally Saturn relates to your Dad, as well as all older people and people in positions of authority from principle to judge. Finally Saturn also will indicate the absence of things in your life and where you will work the hardest to achieve. So you can see that Saturn plays a very big role in our lives. While it is in its rulership we must consider all of these things and once it begins its contact with Pluto, we must be ready to transform all of them. Restructure them or tear them down completely and rebuild. Jupiter indicates we will rebuild them bigger and with an expanded view, perhaps more spiritually, worldly or with greater wisdom. Hopefully I have given you much to ponder as you experience the tunnel to the New Year. It is now that we make resolutions which require discipline as this is Capricorn's influence. Take time to let your heart tell you the path to walk in 2018. Ponder the issues and release all that holds you back. Bless all the times someone was not there for you and left you to do all the work yourself. For in doing so you can revel in the qualities you have developed as a result of being left to handle things alone. You are an amazing being - all that you have been through has caused you to be this incredible being.So take time to love yourself and recognize how the adversities in your life have made you the strong resilient being you are. Now is the time to congratulate and celebrate you. Where you feel you fell short, remember that is a lesson to use now to make change. Do not stop at the old shortcoming and wallow, grab it like a lasso and gallop on to catch the next experience, wrangle it and make it work with all the knowledge you now have. You can do this. You are an awesome being, limitless and magnificent and all the power of Angels & Creator are here to hail you, guide and help you as you go beyond anything you ever dreamed possible. Now is the time to build your Eiffel Tower to the stars and recognize the Divine in You.

Empowering Numerology ~ The Number Seven & August 2013 Frequencies

Once we have understood the frequency of Six with all its choices, we are ready for the dynamic frequency of seven, the number of change.

Seven takes man beyond his egocentric self and helps him see himself as part of the solar system and universe. Before the frequency of seven entered man’s consciousness, he was completely self-absorbed. He lived in a state that may have fluctuated with intuitive glimpses of Spirit and the Divine but as he came to the frequency of six, all that was considered possible suddenly expanded and through the many choices that became available, the frequency of seven beckoned him to take a chance, leap, and risk everything for the fast thrill of a whole new world.

Seven is the number of the original stellar bodies that man studied right up until the 19th century…the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. These seven luminaries and planets moved through the night sky and when they made certain geometric patterns, astronomers and astrologers noted major changes on earth, in nations and people.

The seventh celestial body is Saturn, which takes approximately twenty-eight years to orbit the Sun. Saturn is known as the disciplinarian, judge, authority figure, structure builder and government. At the moment when an individual takes their first breath, Saturn along with all the other planets and luminaries leaves a geometric pattern on the individual’s DNA. As the individual grows through life, Saturn in the sky will activate this birth pattern approximately every seven years creating major changes. These changes may be breakups because the foundation was not built properly, or may be a consolidation or graduation due to a job well done.

The old saying about the, ‘Seven year itch’, which activates breakups in relationships, is due to the movement of Saturn on a couple’s wedding chart (the moment a couple says, “I do,” a wedding chart is born.)

Seven’s shape is the most dramatic of any number. Like a great cliff from which one might leap, this number motivates. I call people who carry seven’s frequency, Risk Taker, Motivator, Change Maker and Gambler. It is no surprise that gambler’s call seven a lucky number.

But even as this frequency activates change, and those whose lives are tied to it would be unhappy in a monotonous life style; so too, change can be their Achilles heel.

When circumstances beyond the seven person’s control, remove someone or something from their lives, sevens find it emotionally painful and may take a long time to let go, forgive and be grateful. They will fall into a state of self-pity and can wallow there for seven years. The very best way to get them up and active again is to tempt them with a new adventure.

Seven is an optimistic number and a fast moving energy. Those who carry this energy drive faster than the rest of us and take far more chances in life. 

To achieve mastery with seven, we must discover joy in change, let go of emotional attachments that are beyond our control and take risks not by racing off the cliff, but by setting a foundation before we leap, thus we leave the cliff in a comfortable glider thrilling to the freedom of flight and filling ourselves with fresh air and broad new ideas. 

August 2013 & It’s Frequencies

August is: A (1) + u (3) + g (7) + u (3) + s (1) + t (2) = 17 = 8

2013: 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6

Total: 8 + 6 = 14 = 5 

The word August not only reduces to the number eight, but it is also the eighth month.

Eight’s frequency signals a need for balance, it is the number of the artist and the creative. Just as the number swirls beautifully, curving back into itself, so too does its frequency activate beautiful compositions in music, art, poetry, and all creative works. Being a number of balance it is also the number of justice, or karmic balance, so though it appears non-threatening, when it is active if the individual has not lived by the laws of karma, it will call for a karmic rebalancing. The great scales of justice are a symbol for the number eight.

Thus this month is a time to review all areas of your life and re-balance as necessary; not with a harsh attitude but rather with a song, a dance, and in rhythm to your heart. It is a time when creative energy flows and people find they must separate from certain experiences, choices, habits, things or people in order to come into harmony with themselves again.

When we add 2013’s six frequency to this month’s eight and create the additional frequency of five, we have a mix that requires us to consciously learn to choose balance or suffer the repercussions of karmic trials. So I highly recommend you welcome eight, six and five into your home and heart this month. Let them teach you to sing, paint, and dance into balance. Take time to review what you learn from them each week and this will give you a new outlook and a more balanced creative flow. If you have any unresolved legal issues, it is best to tackle them consciously this month and bring all parts of your life into balance.

Mercury Retrograde, Full Moon, Saturn, Pluto = Busting Belief Systems

Saturday, February 23rd, Mercury stationed Retrograde at 19:52 Pisces, while on Monday, February 25th we entered a 7:24 Virgo Full Moon cycle. 

As you may have heard me mention before, this cycle will be filled with news, so much will happen that you will have to take extra time to learn about it and may not hear all of it for months. 

But let's look at what it means to the individual. 

Though anyone over 20 has experienced a Mercury Retrograde in Pisces before, this one is potent and unique because of where our solar system is in the galactic center, the frequencies that have been released back on December 21, and the fact that Saturn and Pluto are working with Mercury to transform old belief systems that have imprisoned the collective consciousness for the last 26,000 years. 

Additionally during this two week moon cycle we will experience the struggle of self-criticism, external criticism and all the issues of perfection and imperfection that hold us from being whole and happy. This is a period where every form of self-sabotage will rear it's head. 

Rising from the depths of ancient lifetimes through one's psyche, there may be irrational feelings of anger. To put your finger on why you are angry may be a little bit difficult because it has to do with patterns embedded in your consciousness through belief systems that were designed to control us and sabotage our understanding of our own power. 

So let those feelings rise and release them. 

If you know EFT, use it, if you are familiar with Tom Kenyon's work read his latest Hathors report and use the meditation and sound frequencies that they offer through him. 

At this time, all humanity is on a journey of significant change and this period is one direct wave. 

Lightbearers need to stay grounded because as all the controlling belief systems are uprooted, many will not be able to handle a completely new way of viewing who we are. A view that is based on truth rather than man's reaction to the physicality and his need to control it.

Astrocartography - The Saturn Line

We have more data now from a tweeter, who has Saturn in the 5th house and is currently living on their Saturn line. Above you see the natal chart with Saturn in the fifth. Remember how Saturn connects to other planets has a lot do with how good or difficult the effects will be on the individual when they move to a location with Saturn active.


So looking at this chart, you immediately see that Saturn is in a Grand Trine to Uranus in Libra in the 8th, & Mars in Aquarius in the 1st.

You may think this is a piece of cake, the native has doorways with Saturn, she can be flexible, handles change well, takes action easily, also she may become pregnant suddenly & unexpectedly, she has a wiry body, a nervous energy, has a noticeable laugh, big bones & a noble carriage. Should have good fortune with children, but is not always the best disciplinarian.


But when you take a look at the opposition to the Moon, it becomes a lot more complicated.

While Saturn rules the 12th & 1st houses, and sits in the 5th, the Moon is in the 10th, and rules the 6th. This presents a struggle that can lead to health issues if the individual is not attentive to their emotional needs. (the inconjunct between Jupiter in the first and the South Node in the sixth with a square to Venus in the third shows the individual comes into life with a health burden from a past life due to an overindulgence in that life, and a genetic predisposition to diabetes, and possible hormonal imbalance, which is worsened by emotional struggles with the mother or home life.)

The opposition between moon & Saturn strongly suggest a struggle with a mother and perhaps the very issue of motherhood. A struggle between career and children or career and love, or working outside the home and wanting to work at home.

There are a number of pictures given here. I do not have the space or time to go into all of them, just enough to get to answer the question.

The point I am making is that

Moving to the Saturn line will complicate and emphasize these issues.

Here is the relocation chart for this individual:




I will immediately say that by putting the Moon at the midheaven, the individual may feel at home in this location, and by moving Venus & the Sun into the second house, there may be more success in the career, and the ability to make money.

But by putting Saturn in the fourth, the individual may have to work hard at home, and the struggle between home and public career is emphasized.

The marriage might come to an end, or see a complete transformation. But there will be opportunity now to break through the karmic issues of being heard. The individual is born with a need to be heard, should have an excellent voice and must in this lifetime find success with her voice.

The move to this location will offer opportunity to fulfill the life destiny

So as with all things, the move to this location will offer opportunity to fulfill the life destiny, freeing the individual of the burden that holds her voice back, but giving her a different burden of hard work at home, and in the public. She needs to be careful not to sabotage herself by overdoing it, because she can burn herself out; that along with the stress of relationships, could lead to health issues.


Now to give you another perspective, here is the basic breakdown of her relocation chart from a standard computer report. Naturally a computer cannot synthesize a chart like the human mind, but it is always interesting to see what it says and it also is accurate in the specifics as it addresses each planet.

PLANETS ON ANGLES

The Moon - Culminate Line (Orb 1°52': Strong Influence)

You may feel a strange attraction to this location and anything associated with it. As a result this vicinity is likely to have an affect on your life's direction. Your heart will rule your head when traversing this line, particularly when it comes to making career decisions. This can have advantages if you are seeking new directions, and particularly if you have kept a strong rein on your emotions. Here you feel free to explore a more relaxed approach to making life decisions. It can also be beneficial if you are in a caring profession or a career, particularly one that demands a certain amount of sensitivity to public moods or trends. However, in some cases this location can also have strong negative connotations. For instance if you are attempting to forge a strong career path in one clear direction then you could experience some obstacles, particularly in the form of self-doubt. You may react emotionally in situations, which actually demand professional detachment. Your relationship with your parents and authority figures will be highlighted along this line. You are likely to be more sensitive to the role that these important people have in your life. You may seek recognition from parents and authority figures and become upset if approval is not forthcoming. On the other hand you may gain insight into the manner in which these people are holding you back. Your role in society may change here too. For instance you may take on a different career or decided to become a parent. There is a strong flavour of nurturing other people, either adults or children Therefore moving on this line is beneficial if you are in a caring profession, a caretaker role or considering becoming a parent, but is better avoided if your social status or career calls for cool, calm decision-making.

Saturn - Anticulminate Line (Orb 2°43': Strong Influence)

You would do best to avoid following this line as it brings a sense of coldness and hard work into your personal world. In other words the way that you feel about yourself, your home and family life is adversely affected. Even business dealings can bring a sense of failure rather than success. This does not necessarily mean that you fail in business dealings in this location, but rather that you do not feel successful. Perhaps your relationships with colleagues are adversely affected. Most people seek warmth and love in their home environment and amongst friends and family. This line brings respect at best, but repels the warmth and growth needed for a happy home. You will experience a sense of responsibility and duty towards your family and home life, which at times seems onerous instead of joyous. In other words life can seem a bit lonely if you want comfort. Of course this location can be beneficial if you want to live the life of a hermit in order to pursue a stringent and ascetic means of existence or if you want to live alone and concentrate your efforts on your career only. However, if you want to live a life balanced with a rewarding professional and personal life then you would do well to move elsewhere.

Neptune - Culminate Line (Orb 8°20': Weak Influence)

If you are seeking a more spiritual or artistic direction to your life then this can be a good line to follow. This location lends itself to the softer and more creative side of your profession. Inspiration and beauty could feature more in your career when you move to this vicinity. Philanthropy may also be highlighted. Therefore this can be beneficial if you work in the fields of beauty therapy, charitable institutions, network marketing, alternative medicine or an unusual profession. However, you need to beware of self-delusion or looking at your profession through rose-coloured glasses. It is one thing to seek greater spiritual or creative fulfilment in your life, it is quite another to throw over everything for a pie-in-the-sky ideal, and this is the danger with this line. It is important to make sure that your powers of discrimination are not too clouded. If you were offered a promotion that requires relocating to this area then you would be wise to check the finer details and to visit the place first before making your final decision. You may also benefit from taking along a friend or colleague who is not under the same influence when travelling to this location.

Mars - Rise Line (Orb 8°55': Weak Influence)

If you lack self-assertion then this location is beneficial, however; if you are a self-driven and assertive individual then you would do well to avoid this line. The planet Mars highlights drive and ambition. Therefore this location encourages the fiery side of your nature. If you lack fire then you benefit from the lessons of this location. You will become more assertive and self-driven. This is ideal if you are looking forward to focusing on some of your own pursuits, which require the attributes of self-motivation and self-reliance. There will be a tendency to meet others head-on and the ability to rise to a challenge. You may also be surprised by forceful traits, which you never knew existed. On the other hand if you are a fiery individual then you could lack discretion in this location. You may find it difficult to restrain your impulses and therefore your rash actions could endanger your welfare. You may become aggressive and others may response in a hostile way. Whatever your personal tendencies you will are likely to benefit if you are involved in competitive sports or in a business project that requires courage and acumen. Learning physical skills and finding an outlet for aggressive energy makes good use of the vigor of this vicinity.

PLANET DIRECTION LINES

Jupiter - Local Space Line - Azimuth 249°00' (Conjunct - Orb 7°19': Weak Influence)

Jupiter is generally considered the planet of prosperity and good luck. Therefore moves along this line will prove beneficial expanding your horizons and bringing many rewards. Higher education, publishing, spiritual pursuits, sports, diplomacy and travel can all be highlighted along this line. These locations are ideal for giving you a boost in life. You feel benevolent towards others, eager to share your good fortune. In turn others are generous to you. Unexpected gifts can arrive at these locations. Wherever you go the Gods seem to be smiling down. The only drawback to this line is that you may become grandiose, feeling that nothing can go wrong and therefore inviting trouble. You need to avoid becoming arrogant in pursuit of the higher ideals in life. With a good dose of common sense and humility you can benefit greatly from travels and communications along your Jupiter line.

PARAN LINES

Mars Upper / Neptune Setting (Orb 1°49')

Lethargy and confusion mark the combination of these two planets. You may lose your sense of direction in life, and lack the motivation to get yourself out of the rut. In some cases you could suffer from an illness. There is a real danger of falling victim to your own fears either real or imagined. In some cases you may even become the victim of someone else's crime. Therefore you need to avoid addictive behaviour including the intake of alcohol or drugs. Perhaps a creative pursuit or water sports would be beneficial under this influence.

I look forward to hearing from our guest, to see how many of the astrological pictures hit, and what in my quick analysis I may have missed.

Astrocartography - Living on Saturn Line

Here is an interesting Astrocartography Question form Tweeting Grace

Curious what you'd say about living on one's Saturn line. Raising kids and Saturn is in the house of children. Okay to ask?

For those new to astrology, astrocartography is an astrological mapping technique. With this technique, we place your chart on a map. This lets us know how different areas will resonate with you.

In Grace's case, she indicates she is living on her Saturn line. Now the first thought most astrologers will have is, Ouch! Not a pleasant experience. But that may not be entirely true.

So let's discuss this.

Saturn is the planet of discipline, structure and time. You might think of it like the school principle.

So if you live on your Saturn line, you may have to toe the line with hard work, heavy responsibilities, limited happiness, confinement, loss and saddness. Now you see the Ouch, more clearly.

But that is not entirely the case. Because as you will see me repeat many times, it depends on the condition of Saturn in the individual's chart.

Grace, has not given me a lot to go on. The only other clue I am given is that Saturn is in her fifth house.

If you had the opportunity to listen to the show I did a week or so ago with Debra Clement on Anchored In Astrology, the fifth house is what we spoke about. You can check her archives to hear it, if you missed it.

The fifth house is the house of everything you love, from your hobbies, to your lover, to your children. It is the house of investments. Where you invest yourself, your talents, and can be your money as well. It is also the house of socializing.

When someone tells me they have Saturn in the fifth, again I might say Ouch, because this placement often brings sorrow or restraint regarding children. It can also do this with love. It is a statement that requires you to work hard in this area of your life. This may mean you must be the disciplinarian in the family, and so all the fun of the natural house of the Sun is not available to you.

But of course that is not the whole story.

If Grace has a nicely aspected Saturn, perhaps an exalted Saturn (in Libra) and there are other planets in this house to soften Saturn, these issues will not be so severe.

As one Vedic astrologer told me years ago about my Saturn mansion:

"You may have happiness only after some tears."

So perhaps Grace will write back and tell us more about her Saturn, its sign and aspects.

Till then, thanks Grace for the question.

Best always,
Michele
