LEGEND OF RUNA
~ Cyllarus ☌ Orpheus - 12 ° ♈︎ ~ (The mythological stories of Cyallarus & Orpheus are both about tragic TRUE love. )
Cyllarus (seems to signify pride in oneself and one's own identity or background, possible racism, ethnocentrism, nativism, parochialism, egotism, or self-importance, ability to meet or assert one's needs, having motive, method and opportunity.) ; (Sense of value, self worth, economic freedom with spiritual emphasis. Positive: Wealthy eccentric, affluent, humanistic, generous, spiritual involved. Negative: Selfish, demanding, greedy. Manipulates with karma or projected spiritual status.)
☌
Orpheus (represents musical aptitude, prophetic skill, the ability to persuade or entreat others successfully, and contact with the dead or dying. Grief is a common theme for those with a strongly-placed Orpheus, both grief for those lost to death, but also for lost circumstances, or the elusive “what might have been”, the situations which never fully developed due to countervailing conditions or lack of focus in gaining them.) ; (Sad, sweet or haunting music, lyrics or poetry; dirges; sense of mourning and loss; grief (for what you don't have—what has gone out of your life¼what “might have been” or what was); contact with death.) ; (Keywords: haunting music. Positive: sweet but haunting music, lyrics and poetry. Negative: sad and melancholic melodies, sense of mourning and loss, contact with death. Neutral: grief for what you don't have- what has gone out of your life, what might have been.) ;
12 ° : PHASE 12 (ARIES 12°): A TRIANGULARLY SHAPED FLIGHT OF WILD GEESE.
KEYNOTE: An idealistic reliance upon a mental image of universal order.
The wild goose is the mystical bird, hamsa, of Hindu tradition. This word, which has recurred in various cultures (the Hansa League of Germanic cities in the late Middle Ages, and El Hanza, the founder of the occult Brotherhood of the Druzes in Lebanon, during the era of the Crusades), has always had at least an undertone of integration at an expansionistic level, spiritual or economic. The Hindu hamsa was the symbol of man's transcendent soul. What previous interpretations of this Sabian symbol have failed to grasp is that the flight of geese presents not only a remarkably geometrical V-shape moving through the sky, but also that this flight is seasonal and therefore attuned to planetary rhythms. Thus, it symbolizes cosmic order, in contrast with the social-political order within a nation which is represented by its ruler. It is order made visual on the background of the clear sky. It is a "celestial" type of order, even though it is earth-born birds which reveal it by their ability to keep their flight structured. The symbol therefore refers to the Soul-consciousness as visualized by the heaven-oriented mind. Yet this soul-consciousness can be called transcendent because it has not yet become "incarnated."Because this is a second stage in the third five-fold sequence begun with Phase 11, we have to consider what it pictures in contrast to the preceding symbol. A basic dualism of consciousness is thus suggested. We see arising a potential conflict between cosmic and social principles of order. The principle of COSMIC ORDER polarizes the all-too-human reliance on the social concept of law and order.
{12TH DEGREE OF ARIES (11°- 12°)} : Involvements lack meaning unless they lead eventually towards spiritual liberation No matter what life circumstances arise, no matter what challenges and temptations there are to face, no matter how noble the aspirations we embody, there is one quality that can never be beaten down – we all want freedom. Insouciance means being carefree or unconcerned and light-hearted. This is the true essential core of personality and is irresistible in every single aspect of life experience. This absolute indomitable freedom-urge speaks to us of our immortality and our spiritual heritage through the innocent imperative of independence. It is this that allows us to have the expectation that our ideals will all be fulfilled, and cosmic obligations towards us met. We trust in this because in the end that is what freedom means – that we get what we want. What we know sets us free, yet knowledge, to be raised to the level of wisdom, requires experience – and therefore involvement. Of course, if we want to deepen our involvements, then we must invest our freedom. We may well lose sight of the inherent freedom-feeling whenever we concentrate upon the challenges within the involvement, yet our ability to rise above things is ever-present. An aspect of our humanity is its naive gift to be spirit-like, and free from burdens. Eventually, no matter how important one has become and how burdensome the responsibilities carried by ones broad shoulders, an inner voice cries ‘freedom!’ When geese are seen to rise above it all, the picture of insouciance, they are as free as birds – yet they are slavishly obeying their undeviating characteristic migration. We too are absolutely free to do whatever it is that we must do – a beautiful paradox. As a personal characteristic, this quality can become a very selfish attitude that actually does very little to add real value to self. We need to guard against an irresponsible, wasteful lack of focus that amounts to nothing more than reckless negligence. It’s a thin line between this and the high spiritually valid pursuit of one’s unique, unencumbered destiny, detached from inappropriate burdens and fruitless anxiety. There is, at the core of our eternal being, an absolute sense of our cosmic birth-right to be free to choose every step of our path throughout eternity, whether embodied or as spirit. This sense is the fundament of all existence and is more powerful and pervasive than all else. However much the individual is cajoled by society – oppressed and brainwashed, emotionally blackmailed and simply deceived – still they know deep down that freedom is the absolute eternal truth of life. }

~ Ophelia ☌ Phaethon - 1 ° Taurus ~ Tragic Love & Absent Father
Ophelia (represents insanity and death by drowning, which can be rendered metaphysically as a feeling of being “inundated” or overwhelmed by circumstance. It can also indicate high drama or hysterics, over-reaction, and feelings of doubt, insecurity, or lack of self-worth.) ; (represents rejected love, or love that will turn into disappointment.) ; (Ophelia is forced to repress her feelings for Hamlet by her family. Ophelia is very passive and obedient character that obeys and complies to what is expected of her. In the end this suppression of her own wants and desires leads her to madness. We all repress certain aspects of our nature and character, we do so in order for us to get along easier but when this repression becomes a dominant feature something inside us will eventually snap.Ophelia in the natal chart shows how and what we are in the habit of repressing how we learn to express that part of our character and accept our own nature as a whole.) ; [A point of over-reaction and counterproductive reactions (linked to mistrust of one’s value to others and concern about deception.)]
☌
Phaethon (represents assuming responsibilities before one is ready to handle them; the consequences of rash or impulsive desires; and feeling out of control or in above one’s head. It can also indicate involvement with cars or other forms of transport.) ; ( In your natal chart, Phaethon will be an area where it is natural to doubt in the facts and you tend to act on impulse, rather than heed sound advice. Here, you will question authority, especially the opinion and comment within your intimate sphere and push forward blindly with your aims.) ;(Keywords: self destructive behavior, failure to adhere to authority, ignoring wisdom and logic, distrust within the intimate sphere, disobedience, extreme recklessness, boastful behavior, manipulation through guilt, false accusation) ; (Phaeton symbolize the risk that humans take to venture into a new horizon, the risk to tread the new path that would lead to the road of success even without prior experiences that would serve as guide as to how or where or what path to take.) ( A trailblazer, one who sets the world on fire, youthful exuberance, daring, venturing to new horizons. Youthful exuberance and a desire to achieve the impossible. It can also be used to refer to someone that behaves wilfully regardless of the consequences and may 'set the world on fire' with their behaviour.") (Instances that involve cars, transport, driving; other forms of recklessness—feeling out of control—as though you’ve taken on more than you can handle; having trouble keeping to the middle of the road!) ;
1° : PHASE 31 (TAURUS 1°): A CLEAR MOUNTAIN STREAM.
KEYNOTE: The pure, uncontaminated and spontaneous manifestation of one's own nature.
Here we see life substance in its original dynamic form and as it emerged from its spiritual source. This is true whatever the nature of the source may be. In a sense the mountain stream is conditioned by the nature of the soil and by all the forces which in the past have formed the mountain's rock strata: that is to say, by past history. Yet out of this past a new, pure (i.e. unadulterated) release of potentiality has emerged. It is ready to perform whatever work its dharma is to accomplish.
This is the first stage of the seventh five-fold sequence of phases. Matter is still imbued with great potential energy, energy being matter at its source. It is flowing irresistibly toward its own destiny. It is simply ITS OWN NATURE.

☌
Amor : - (Inner wisdom reflected through organisation’ The “conditions” of unconditional love; understanding love; what interferes or blocks love and acceptance; figuring out “boundaries” or limits on what happens in the name of “love”; Conditions on whatever occurs in aspect. Words; authority, incentive, inspector, preacher, training. Impossible, probation.) ; (Although for many astrologers it signifies the so called god in mythology & they believe that it doesn't mean love in romantic way, but only a kind of pure love.) ;

Venus conjunct Eros - 8 Taurus
Eros - (The Eros native is erotic. It may be in an obvious manner if Eros is conjunct the Ascendant, Sun or Mars. It may be more hidden if Eros is conjunct the Moon or Venus. In the former case, it is cleavage. In the latter case, it is a little bit of lace slip peeking under the hem of a business suit.) ; [Keywords: god of physical love and lust, erotica, cupid, sexual interests, reproductive organs. Positive: divine passion, erotic desire, sensuality, emotional consummating desires. Negative: sexual temptations, lust, physical desires, survival instinct, obsessive compulsive drives and attitude
Neutral: turn ons, titilation, pure attraction, love and sex, erogenous, male sexual force (born from chaos).] ; (Eros would symbolize our passion, that which sexually attracts us, our sexual preference and the primal font of desire-energy. A person with a strong Eros would be moved to periodically re-create the experience of finding and being in love A well-represented Eros seeks regular physical contact with others, especially involving sex. Add charisma and the ability to charm anyone, especially if Eros is conjunct the Ascendant, Venus or Mars. Eros conjunct Sun, Moon, Venus or Mars can be quite liberal with their favors when circumstances permit.) ;
PHASE 38 (TAURUS 8°): A SLEIGH ON LAND UNCOVERED BY SNOW.
KEYNOTE: The value of anticipating and preparing for expectable conditions.
Here we have a combination of two factors: "the sleigh," which is a product of traditional skill (cf. Taurus 6° symbol) and the ability man has to foresee and thus to prepare for a future situation. This ability relates this symbol to the one for Taurus 7°, because the woman from Samaria had 'the capacity to receive a revelation of the future state of human evolution, though in a different and subconscious sense. Man should be ready to use past knowledge and skill to meet the demands of a stage yet to come.
At this third stage of the eighth five-fold sequence we should realize the value of FUTURE-ORIENTED IMAGINATIONbut also of relying upon the natural order of unfoldment of all life processes.

Siwa: (Episodic, catabolic (breakdown/through) process that precedes insight; destruction of density/fixated beliefs (relative to aspects); crisis of death (stagnation) or regeneration; The Far East (inc. Vietnam, India, China, Malaysia, Japan periodic occurrence; ascetic; attention to sound.)
☌
Altjira: (seems to indicate cold, indifferent, withdrawn, distant, non-involved, uncaring, focused on the big picture; oblivious to reality; creation, dreaming, envisioning, imagining, having to do with indigenous and prehistoric tribes and knowledge, making vision reality, operating on a non-material level, the supernatural, spirits or ghosts, psychic phenomena.) ; (The approach to Altjira is the approach to the dream world, the visioning apparatus within us. It involves going through the process of entering that state of awareness and processing and using what is encountered there. There is a tendency to more physically based activities while approaching this point where as after Altjira when you are leaving the the dream world, there is more of a focus on telling other people about it or acting on the basis of the information and awarenesses tapped there. Planets in aspect patterns with Altjira describe what you encounter in the world of visions and dreams, how you deal with it and what impact it has on you.) ; (We know that Altjira is about sifting through our Personal and Karmic history to find Programming that’s not really Us) ; (In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Altjira is the sky god of the Arrernte. He created the Earth, then retired to the sky and remained there. Altjira was the central god of a sacred era called the Dreamtime. The Aboriginal people believe that every person essentially exists eternally in the Dreaming. For unknown reasons, Altjira had emu’s feet. A surreal figure like him might appear in a dream.) ; (Dreams belong to the dominion of Neptune. Altjira has something to do with sleep and dreaming.
"Dreaming" is also often used to refer to an individual's or group's set of beliefs or spirituality.) ; ( Altjira has the ability to understand the abstract language of astrology, prophecy and mythology) : ( It was named after the creation deity of the Aranda (Arrente, Arunta, Arranta) Aboriginal people from Australia's Northern Territory. Altijera brought the universe into being by dreaming it...something the Aboriginals term Dreamtime. Then, it is said, he retired to the sky, seemingly indifferent to the earthly plane, leaving further work to be done by the lesser gods who remained behind. His name is connected with their word meaning "to dream". The Aranda believe that there are two kinds of reality. There is the everyday linear, objective activity, and then there is the creative, spiritual Dreamtime, which they believe is more real then waking reality.
It is said that Altjira is willing to help anyone tho asks and who is willing to work with the dreamtime.) ; (connected to the psychic or visionary realm)
11 ° : A WOMAN WATERING FLOWERS IN HER GARDEN.
KEYNOTE: Development of the powers of the mind on which ego-consciousness is based.
The psycho-mental nature of a human being takes form out of the fulfillment and transcendence of biological functions and drives, much as the bud appears as the sap rises, and bursts forth into bloom. "As the roots, so the flowers" is an old axiom. The consciousness attaches itself to this wondrous efflorescence; it lavishes its attention upon it, its love — alas, usually a possessive kind of love ("This is my garden!"). Thus the ego develops. It may develop in a negative, resentful way if a belated frost destroys the buds.

~ Admetos conjunct Hephaistos - 15 Taurus ~
ADMETOS - (The brick wall: steadfast, stable, immovable. Shrinking. Narrowing down to a sharp focus. Specialization. Endurance ... The glyph for Admetos shows an affinity for the sign Taurus and must be drawn with a base line to show the Admetos capacity to be steadfast, stable, and immovable. Admetos describes inertia, slow motion, and things that go around in a circle like phonograph records and ceiling fans. Admetos advances 0°35' per year, and takes 617 years to go around the Sun.) ; (glyph used by Uranian astrologers to denote Admetos in a chart: Is the symbol of Mercury with the cross of “Matter” inside of the circle. Mercury symbolizes the Cosmic antenna that all Admetos people possess. The Cross of Matter means that they can not only ground what they ‘receive’ from their antenna, but manifest it into our third dimensional world. These are world beaters. World builders. At their highest, Admetos people are world creators and visionaries for the future of our planet and people.) ; (Whatever it touches it brings into the depth and can have great transformative power and a stabilizing effect, but it can also block whatever it touches creating obstacles and inertia.) ; (Mercury is the change that occurs in the external, shallow world; Pluto is the transformational changes that result in the internal world. The product of these two planets is the Uranian Admetos. At certain points in life, we cannot proceed any further, no matter how hard we try. Admetos is the embodiment of this quality. You may feel that you are slipping on an icy lake and the circumstances around you change so rapidly that you are unable to hold your ground. Stop. This is what you must learn through this planet. By focusing on the mundane versus the material, the true definition of happiness by living in the present, versus thinking about what was, what may have been, or what could be, you will find the answers you seek. A moment of clarity will strike you and a star of hope will guide you on your path, lighting the way through the once nebulous, grey uncertainties of the future. Only then will you have the ability to launch up into the higher realms of consciousness, for Admetos is the launch pad that projects up into the highest levels of knowing and existence. Proceed with slowness and caution, as this is the eye of the storm, and you will want to enjoy the Calm while it lasts!) ; (The mundane, bottlenecks, complete stops, the gears stop turning, circuitous events. Admetos is the sixth planet in the Uranian system; its world on the parallel Gaia is where we go to sort out the mundane life. If you have a dream about throwing up at your piano recital because you ate too much, you do whatever possible to avoid that situation and consequently skip lunch. Your stomach growls and rumbles like a lioness protecting her cubs, and instead forget to bring your sheet music. At least you didn’t throw up! The Admetos world is where we sort out the mundane world and use our experiences to inform the Physical. Admetos is the area in life where things come to a total halt, you cannot proceed any further. What you are doing is either too difficult for the time being, you need to work more consistently in the mundane to get grounded, or everything seems to be stacked up against you. When you venture out into hyperspace, you will find Admetos plays a significant role on the Physical: the things you try on Earth are simply too hard, but chances are you are totally unequipped for the task at hand. As linear time advances and the Soul matures, you will work in the other worlds on completing the actions required to open up the path on Earth. If Admetos is barricading entry to a new fork on your journey, it is because there are other things that must take place first, but you have absolutely no control over the timing; it all happens in hyperspace, where time is Eternity. By living in the mundane, cleaning house, and getting grounded, the time will pass faster than you imagined.)

The man with the silk hat has seen some of his ambitious efforts bring him social success; but he learns that often "nothing fails like success." The storm may be within him, or it may attack his social status. He is ready to face it daringly. This shows a willingness to accept crises and to go through them — and therefore great character, the soil upon which a higher kind of consciousness may develop. This is the fifth and final stage of this ninth five-fold sequence of symbols. It implies a transition to a new level at which the individual who has learned from experience demonstrates a truly mature mind. What is revealed here is CHARACTER under adverse circumstances.
~ Chaos conjunct Sun - 18 Taurus ~
Chaos - (This asteroid seems to have a prominent place in the charts of those souls who stir up chaos. Think Pig Pen and his perpetual cloud of dust) ;
PHASE 48 (TAURUS 18°): A WOMAN AIRING AN OLD BAG THROUGH THE OPEN WINDOW OF HER ROOM.
KEYNOTE: The cleansing of the ego-consciousness.
In this third stage of the present sequence the first two stages should be considered background. The traditional teachings concerning man's nature are somehow reconciled with the youthful enthusiasm that sees in every problem of growth an issue between the "good" and the "bad." The symbol suggests that the real enemy is within the mind; it is the ego and its attachment to possessions. The mind is shown in the likeness of a "bag," now empty and needing to be aired in the sunlight. But the "window" must first be opened and the bag emptied. The phrase "cleansing the doors of perception" has become well known of late. But even more to be cleansed is the container of perceptual images — i.e. the ego mind. The Keyword is PURIFICATION.
~ Hades conjunct Hygiea - 10 Gemini ~
Hades - (All that is unpleasant, useless, antique, or deeply buried. The occult ... Hades is misunderstood, because many think only of the negative meanings: dirt, garbage, sewage, sickness, poverty, mistakes, and all things ugly and sinister. There is a positive side that deals with antiquity, depth, and past lives. Hades advances 1°01' per year, so its orbit around the Sun takes a little over 360 years.) ; (Hades is the place where we all start in the soul’s journey. The original delineations of Hades involved disease, secrets, death, lack, poverty, famine, and evil. Many believe this is the Underworld, the source of evil, Satanic or demonic spirits, but this is hardly the case! Hades is easily the most misconceived planet and it is a combination of other planetary energies, involving Saturn (responsibility, discernment), Neptune (addiction, spirituality), and Pluto (destruction, transformation). Hades also represents the collective consciousness, karmic debts, and paying back for whatever does not serve your Highest Good. When we start this “life” thing, at the beginning of the soul cycle, we all begin here and work the evil out of the soul and decide unconsciously to become higher vibration beings. However, it is the overarching realm we enter in the dream state, as this Hades is the keeper of the portal to the other worlds and only shows us what we are ready to know. Unlike Zeus and Vulkanus, Hades is largely unconscious and has very little subconscious energy attached to it, though it still does exist in this domain. Authentic purpose is the theme here.) ; (Personal responsibility, discernment, poverty, consciousness, the dream world portal, deep karma, inner fortitude. A visit to Hades is a nightmare. You are stuck in the vacuum of time and cannot escape until the subconscious sorts through what it needs to. This planet’s outcomes are favorable, but only if you are accountable for your actions and follow instinct. Hades has ten-thousand times the karma of Pluto, used by Evolutionary Astrologers. When Hades appears in the chart, it shows where the Native failed in life and must continue working throughout lifetimes. Chiron works in a similar fashion, but represents the wounded ego, whereas Hades bears no wounds, unless you are paying back for poor choices that do not follow your highest intent. Hades is a primary Focus in the chart, as it is repeated throughout lifetimes. There is a strong need for karmic clearing, energetic release, and cord severing in order to break the cycle.)
Hygiea: - (Health, hygiene, tradition and natural medicine, doctors and healers, disease, illness, toxins, fear of poison, fear of doctors, fear of medical results, hypochondria, hesitation to get checkups, operations, misdiagnosis, drug abuse, diet, worrying about the health of family and friends.) ; (represents our attitude and belief system concerning health and fitness awareness. Hygeia also rules sanitation and the valuable role hygiene and diet play in health maintenance. She often shows up by transit or appears on a major angle when an individual is experiencing a health issue… Hygeian influence is felt among dietitians, physical fitness educators and teachers, dental hygienists, mental health facilitators who embrace the mind/body connection, holistic practitioners, sanitation inspectors, environmentalists, and preservationists who believe keeping the Earth clean and pollution free.) ; (rules the health practices and is integrated into medical astrology, but in her negative side has something to bring in cases of depression & anxiety of a higher level than usual.) ; (Hygeia governs sanitation, hygiene, ecology, preservation, discovery of vaccines, medical and alternative health organizations, fitness and exercise, places of meditation and recovery and all venues that recognize the link between mind, body and spirit. Hygeia is also associated with physical, mental and chemical imbalances.) ;
PHASE 70 (GEMINI 10°): AN AIRPLANE PERFORMING A NOSE DIVE.
KEYNOTE: A superior ability to challenge nature and play with danger.
Through the controlled use of mental powers man is able to challenge the most basic force in nature: gravitation. He enjoys playing with it as a lion tamer with his violent animals. But what he challenges is within himself as well as outside. Gravitation is the universal binding force of the material world. By challenging it man prepares himself to pierce beyond the physical and to reach higher realms of existence. He may lose the struggle, but that prospect makes the effort more exciting. He might gain "immortality."
This is the final stage of the fourteenth sequence. The symbol for it has a strong sense of finality. No possibility of half measures exist. Man is committed irrevocably to success or failure — at least as a conscious and self-reliant mind. The alternatives are clear-cut. One may describe it as MIND vs. MATTER, or as Man's will against the fate that gravitation so aptly symbolizes.
~ Hygiea conjunct Minerva - 10 Gemini ~
Hygiea: - (Health, hygiene, tradition and natural medicine, doctors and healers, disease, illness, toxins, fear of poison, fear of doctors, fear of medical results, hypochondria, hesitation to get checkups, operations, misdiagnosis, drug abuse, diet, worrying about the health of family and friends.) ; (represents our attitude and belief system concerning health and fitness awareness. Hygeia also rules sanitation and the valuable role hygiene and diet play in health maintenance. She often shows up by transit or appears on a major angle when an individual is experiencing a health issue… Hygeian influence is felt among dietitians, physical fitness educators and teachers, dental hygienists, mental health facilitators who embrace the mind/body connection, holistic practitioners, sanitation inspectors, environmentalists, and preservationists who believe keeping the Earth clean and pollution free.) ; (rules the health practices and is integrated into medical astrology, but in her negative side has something to bring in cases of depression & anxiety of a higher level than usual.) ; (Hygeia governs sanitation, hygiene, ecology, preservation, discovery of vaccines, medical and alternative health organizations, fitness and exercise, places of meditation and recovery and all venues that recognize the link between mind, body and spirit. Hygeia is also associated with physical, mental and chemical imbalances.) ;
☌
Minerva: - (Broad perceptual skills; strategies to deal with situations and people; “calculations” (whether dealing with math or public relations); figuring things & people out. [See also Pallas Athena]) ; (represents wisdom and courage; the ability to analyze and strategize; perceptual knowledge and its application; facility with math and numbers; dexterity and manual skill.) ; (artistic, arts and crafts, biotechnology, confidence, conflict, creative, daughter, diplomacy, genetics, healing, horses, immune system, injustice, intelligence, intuition, justice, learning, legal battles, logic, politics, science, strategy, strength, wisdom
Wherever Minerva falls in the birthchart shows the area of life where these talents are likely to be found and in what capacity.)

~ Child conjunct Iris - 13 Gemini ~
Child - : (creativity’ Attitude to children, childish reactions, own childhood events, innocence and maturity Kindness/responsibility and honesty. Fortunate in money, overcoming problems with faith and patience. Negatively, argument, despised, dogmatic and problem.) ; ( Keywords: the place in which our inner child resides, ones unique childhood. Positive: childlike innocence, naivety, pure. Negative: childhood fears. Neutral: ones inner child essence, the childhood, children.) ;
☌
Iris - (An excellent Essence when in need of messages or omens. Use this Essence when needing such guidance then watch carefully for answers to your questions.) ; (Keywords: messages, omens, heavenly messenger, the rainbow, goddess. Positive: psychic capability, oracular work, channeling. Neutral: communicator, eye color, iridescence.) ;
PHASE 73 (GEMINI 13°): A FAMOUS PIANIST GIVING A CONCERT PERFORMANCE.
KEYNOTE: Individual fulfillment in the performing of a social function to which some prestige is attached.
Having entered upon the path of individualized experience that brings him in touch with broader or higher realms of super-personal inspiration, the individual person is able to become himself a source of inspiration, an agent for Man and the formative Powers guiding human evolution. His role is to mobilize emotions, to present to others an image of what for most people is beyond their mediocre and lukewarm responses to the challenge of becoming "more-than-man" — to experience more intensely and to see farther. This is the role of the true and ideal "virtuoso" (vir meaning strength, manliness; thus "virtue") and, in a far-reaching sense, of the Avatar whose example fascinates human beings, leading them to leave behind their past and to venture forth into new realms of experience.
At this third stage we see the meanings of the two preceding symbols, synthesized. One moves into new realms and successfully challenges the fears, the insecurity and the lack of self-confidence of the past in oneself —- all negative attitudes which, while conditioned by the social environment, have become engraved upon the unconscious. Having achieved this liberation, one can bring to the environment the power generated by self-discipline, skill and self-confidence. One has become an at least potential SOURCE OF INSPIRATION.
~ Apollo conjunct Pholus - 28 ° Cancer ~
Apollo : (By house it seems to denote a place where you feel that it is your right to expect your own way, and often where you take for granted some particular personal rights you have always respected.) ; (fixation, intensity, crisis-mastery, exaltation, commitment, challenge) ; (The liabilities--especially with conjunctions--are tunnel vision, blind spots, irrational awe, imbalance, obsession.) ; (Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto. His twin sister is Artemis. He is the god of music, playing a golden lyre. The Archer, far shooting with a silver bow. The god of healing who taught man medicine. The god of light. The god of truth, who can not speak a lie.) ; (He is famous for his oracle at Delphi. People traveled to it from all over the greek world to devine the future.) ; (His tree was the laurel. The crow his bird. The dolphin his animal.) ; (If a native has Apollo in a prominent place, he will be thought of very highly by others. He will have a unique charisma.) ; (one the premier heavenly bodies for identifying intelligence. Apollo was the Sun God, the light bringer, God of prophesy, the keeper of knowledge and a symbol of consciousness. This God is most often depicted naked, perfect and proud. Apollo was the quintessential ladies man, charming all that met him. This God did not have to try , the others just loved him for being his own strong, magical self. Apollo was gifted in the knowledge of healing and science, as at the root these two things are the same. He brought light, which is synonymous with knowledge and was a great teacher. Truth was a deep element of Apollo's personality. Light dispels darkness and reveals everything. Apollo had the brightest light of all. A bit selfish, Apollo was pretty much about himself, and lacked the empathy present in other Gods. Leadership was most important to this man and he erred on the side of logic, if at all. Apollo did not mind worship and had a decidedly conceited attitude. This dude knew who he was and what he could do. He was all ego. Where Apollo resides in a birth chart will show where high intelligence lies and how we apply logic and reason. Where we can find our talent great enough to inspire others is seen by the asteroid Apollo. How we can lead others and be loved for it is all a facet of Apollo. Destiny formed from conscious effort, application of intelligence, where our past experience can inspire the masses, this is all seen by the placement of Apollo. Truth and how we can communicate it and how we need to live by it is pointed to by this asteroid. How intuition is applied with critical thinking to arrive at conclusions. Scientific aptitude. Truthful self expression is also asked for by Apollo. Another interesting angle to this asteroid is it's influence on beauty and attraction. Apollo conjunct or close to the ascendant can bestow magnificent beauty. The ascendant in aspect to Apollo can show beautiful physical form and many models and actresses have it on the ascendant, in aspect to the ascendant ruler or on the midheaven or in aspect to Venus or the Sun. Negatives that come with this asteroid are centered around selfishness. Where we are in danger of conceit, how we can desire through selfish means to become powerful, where you expect to get your own way are all shown by the placement and aspects to Apollo.)
☌
Pholus: (Explodes whatever it touches) ; (XII - Samadhi is the end of married life. Yin and Yang unmarry here. Tao knows neither Yin nor Yang. One quits entangling himself with the world of duty, parents long gone, he quits mundane business and has false mind ("his" ego) as the only devil to face to the end. TrueMind takes over, dissolving the
salt doll of "ego" or "foreign instal", daily mind. Events funneled, as if guided by a mysterious hidden god. TrueMind in the movie director's seat. ) ; (For the ending of an old life and the beginning of a new , higher life.) ; (A person with a prominent natal Pholus is in his actions guided by impulses whose motivation he is not really aware of. Actually, he is confronted with energies or parts of his nature that are not incarnated, i.e. that hang over or about him like a cloud (Neptune, the aphelion of Pholus) and urge towards incarnation (Saturn, PholusÄ perihelion) within the material world. In other words: Pholus stands for parts of our nature from which we are still cut off and with which we try to get into contact. The parts in question may be those which cannot be soundly unfolded, or on the other hand a domain where the person intently strives for and with time even reaches great progresses. A combination of Pholus and Mercury, for example, can indicate highest precision and almost magic power of a personÄs mercurial abilities, or on the contrary legastheny and dyscalculia.Pholic impulses are blind in a sense. They press on being realized even if they do not "know", what could be their appropriate place in the actual order of life. On the contrary, they are in conflict with the established conditions. The person in question may feel impelled to actions, motions or gestures that give rise to disastrous life situations. So, Pholus finds himself in a strain between self-destruction and enlargement of his own character by additional energies or horizons of experience. The pholic person walks on the narrow path of great and seemingly easy success, with the risk of catastrophic slips. Whatever happens, afterwarts the person is altered. He has broken with his past, has stripped off an old skin (Greek pholis means "squama" or "skin"), has got over a rocky edge and unexpectedly attained a wonderful tableland, or else is stumbled over it into a precipice.Instead of blindness, Pholus sometimes gives visionary power. In the myth he is a haruspex, i.e. he reads from the entrails of offered animals. People with Pholus at the IC are often very inspired, sometimes spiritual channels or fortune-tellers or work with the pendulum. But in the myths, the seer is often blind. It is not easy to dream the future and, at the same time, actually realize the present circumstances.) ; (For the ending of an old life and the beginning of a new , higher life.)
28 ° : PHASE 118 (CANCER 28°): AN INDIAN GIRL INTRODUCES HER WHITE LOVER TO HER ASSEMBLED TRIBE.
KEYNOTE: Inner rebirth through a total acceptance of the primordial values manifest in the human body and its natural functions.
Even as this symbol was formulated in the clairvoyant's mind, a few individuals belonging to the American intelligentsia were trying to find in their absorption into the culture of the Indian pueblos of the Southwest a solution to their intellectual artificiality and personal emotional emptiness. Fifty years later this process has gained great momentum, especially among the disenchanted youth of our affluent middle class. The soul — or in Jungian terms, the "anima"— is leading the sophisticated and colorless (white!) intellect to a level of consciousness at which man can again operate in tune with the vast process of the biosphere and recover the simplicity and the inner peace which city life and business deny.
At this third stage of the twenty-fourth five-fold sequence the situations presented in the two preceding symbols can be seen combined and projected into a possibility of dramatic transformation. What is shown here is an emotional and warm commitment to the RETURN TO NATURE which today appeals so strongly to the new generation, but which Jean Jacques Rousseau, many great Romanticists and Gauguin long ago advocated and exemplified.
~ Nemesis conjunct Apollo - 27 Cancer ~
Nemesis: - (The Undoing, the Achilles Heel, seeking to place BLAME; “scapegoating;” finger-pointing; identification of “the enemy,” fault, or source of a problem.) ; ( enemy, downfall, revenge.) ; (Goddess of divine retribution and making sure the balance between gratitude and excess was rightfully observed by humanity. This Goddess is often misinterpreted as evil or negative, when she was really neither. Nemesis was a necessary component to human existence. When she saw one who had too much and cared not to be grateful, she delivered a slap down. If she found another to be boastful or trying to compete with the God's, she did not hesitate to remind them of where they got everything they ever had- the God's. Nemesis was really just the Goddess of what you rightfully had coming. You had to really DO SOMETHING to awaken this goddess into action, she was not arbitrary or random in her reactions as Zeus could be. She only delivered what was specifically called for. She was also known as Adrasteia, which means "the inescapable". She was difficult karma personified. Humans came to fear and avoid her as they associated her with negativity. Really, it was the self judgements that she visited upon the people. She simply gave what was deserved, she never added or was mistaken in her measure. It was nothing personal. Likewise, Nemesis in the birth chart shows where we are deserving of an attitude adjustment. It is a place of getting stuck or where we can bring negative karma to bear due to our own hubris or attitude. Often, aspects to this asteroid can indicate where we don't realize we are arrogant or pushy.) ;

A VIOLENT STORM IN A CANYON FILLED WITH EXPENSIVE HOMES.
KEYNOTE: A confrontation with a social upheaval demanding the reconsideration of static values.
The deeper implications of the scene depicted in the symbol are that the socio-cultural elite can always see its position and security challenged by forces beyond its control, even if it may be successful in protecting itself from destruction. The individual may not be able to depend on the standards and values he has acquired through education and through a relatively sheltered and rich life. He has to rise to the occasion, and perhaps to undergo an inner metamorphosis as a result of the crisis he has been able to accept as a personal challenge.
The contrast between the two first phases of this twenty-fourth sequence is evident: peace in luxury and intellectual development in terms of collective cultural values (reading books), then the challenge to meet a crisis situation produced by uncontrollable karmic forcesthat could lead to a successful CATHARSIS.
~ Osiris conjunct Lilith - 21 Cancer ~
Osiris: - ( Keywords: growth and strengthening through trial and tribulation, twin flame of ISIS. Positive: transformation, overcoming, immortality. Neutral: where one is cut down and torn to pieces so that one can be reborn) ; (acts as an indicator of death, by which we mean “change and transformation.” It can be a literal death, or a symbolic one, any major disruption or change in circumstance, status or condition. There is also an accent on death-and-rebirth, renewal, and revivification or resuscitation.) ; (becoming, fertility, regeneration, individuation, destruction, death, and rebirth.) ; ( wounded by consensus societal conditioning, and where you have a need for self-exploration, self-transformation, and regeneration.)
☌
Lillith: - (Triangulation; competing; selection & rejection; decisions (regarding angle or aspects divided loyalties; favouritism; gender stereotypes; use of sex or rejection for dominance.) ; (Keywords: Issues of equality in relationships, psychological issues of suppressed rage, demonized aspects of feminine. Positive: reclaiming inner dark goddess, taboos, raw passion, embodied sexuality, healthy/whole person. Negative: resentment, self-exile, rejection, sexual manipulation. Neutral: crescent moon, the maiden, attitudes towards infidelity.) ;
PHASE 111 (CANCER 21°): A FAMOUS SINGER IS PROVING HER VIRTUOSITY DURING AN OPERATIC PERFORMANCE.
KEYNOTE: The emotional reward accompanying cultural excellence.
If anything represents the type of response that a well-developed society gives to the individual who successfully pours their energy into the skillful externalization of the great images of its culture, it is the opera. The operatic prima donna is not merely a lonely performer, like the piano virtuoso (Gemini 13°); he or she is the star in a collective effort. The opera is not only music, but a story, a mythos, which embodies some of the most basic images and emotions characterizing the culture that gave it birth. Euro-American culture is indeed extolled — or condemned — by its operas and their lurid and tragic passions. It is interesting to compare the opera with the equivalent type of social performances and their topics in India, Java or Tibet.
At this first stage of the twenty-third five-fold sequence of cyclic phases we find the drive toward individualization by means of concrete forms of cultural activity glorified in social and financial success. In its deepest sense the symbol refers to THE PRICE OF SUCCESS — for the individual, as well for as the collectivity acclaiming him or her. What is success really worth? A question few people ask.

Lachesis - (A very helpful Essence for those who like to play the lotteries or other games of chance. Increases one's luck by clarifying where one can expect to be lucky , focusing on those areas.) ; [Intervention, assessment mid-way into a sequence, what “interrupts” an evolving sequence from going as one would have expected (from the way it began or is underway.)] ; (Keywords: 1 of 3 fates in greek mythology, assigns a life span and destiny.

☌
Itokawa: - (defeat, beginning of a bad experience, milestone, discovery?) ; (Thread River [sp?])
PHASE 348 (PISCES 18°):IN A GIGANTIC TENT, VILLAGERS WITNESS A SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE.
KEYNOTE: The collective appeal of a well-staged and exciting display of skill and/or oratory.
At first, Marc Jones interpreted the "gigantic tent" as the locale for a revivalist's meeting; later he suggested a circus tent instead. In a sense, the basic meaning is the same whether it is the traditional performance of skilled clowns, acrobats or animal trainers, or that of a religious fundamentalist dramatizing an old religious imagery, what takes place is the use of personal achievement and conviction to bring a crowd to a state of enthusiasm sufficient to make it forget its boredom with everyday routine or its familiar sins of commission or omission. At this third stage of the seventieth five-fold sequence, the individual person and the collectivity are brought together in a significant performance which subtly strengthens the communal spirit directly or indirectly. The implication of the symbol, whenever it is found operating, is that the time has come for the individual to dare to present himself and his works to his community for applause, or for the purpose of attracting a following. What is suggested is PUBLIC SELF-DRAMATIZATION.
~ Moon conjunct Niobe - 2 Leo ~
Niobe: - (Humbling lessons through excess pride in one's children, fertility, virility or creativity (including creative products).
Moon conjunct Asclepius - 2 Leo
~ Jupiter conjunct Psyche - 4 Virgo ~
Psyche: - ( Psyche is the Greek word for soul, and Psyche is the place in your chart that can detail for you where you can find your entrance into your self. Psyche also represents psychology and is involved with the discipline of the study of the mind. Psyche encompasses the soul, the mind, and the self.) ; (Psyche's story is in essence every woman's story. Psyche's tale begins when she is in early womanhood, and brings her to an uncharted place, where she is not sure of anyone or anything. She is then forced to deal with the world, and surmount many difficult obstacles before she, the embodiment of the soul and mind, is able to merge with her other half, her animus, or her male lover. Once she achieves that goal, she achieves a true integration of her self, becomes a goddess, and achieves immortality.) ; (Psyche can tell us a lot about ourselves and our own journey, but it may take us some time and thought before we become aware of what Psyche symbolically wants to say to us. Delving into our innermost depths can take some time, and reflection) ; (Psyche conjunct Jupiter makes a good administrator, businessman, philosopher, teacher of spiritual pursuits and knowledgeable about languages and their origin.) ;
PHASE 154 (VIRGO 4°):BLACK AND WHITE CHILDREN PLAY TOGETHER HAPPILY.
KEYNOTE: The overcoming of socio-cultural prejudices.
Freedom from all the forms, biases and idiosyncrasies of the particular culture and class in which one has been born and educated is a sine qua non of the consciousness truly "on the Path." The ideal of universal brotherhood underlies all great spiritual teachings, for they all are like branches of the One Tree, Man, in his divine state. This does not mean there are no racial differences, but rather that these differences have a functional value in terms of the whole organism of Man — and of the planet Earth. At this fourth stage the basic technique which applies to all truly spiritual progress is clearly stated. Every human being should be seen, approached and warmly met as a "child of God," or in less religious terms as an exemplar of Man. Such a status gives to every social and interpersonal group the character of a BROTHERHOOD.
~ Saturn conjunct Hybris - 18 Aquarius ~
Hybris - (Keywords: behaviors that challenge the 'gods' (authorities). Negative: excessive pride, arrogance, foolishness that leads to downfall, over-confidence.) ; (Expectation, glass-ceilings, future expected, their lot in life; expectation of others; what others, parents, you see as “your fate;” conditioned limitations.) ;
PHASE 318 (AQUARIUS 18°): A MAN'S SECRET MOTIVES ARE BEING PUBLICLY UNMASKED.
KEYNOTE: The difficulty for the modern individual to keep secret his private past or his deeper motives.
This symbol logically follows the two preceding ones. Today, struggle between the power of society and the rights of the individual leads in the end to the defeat of the latter. The media and innumerable governmental agencies are nearly always able to find access to remains or records of past actions; modern psychologists and psychiatrists are increasingly adept at penetrating the deepest secrets of a life through "analysis" and all kinds of more or less allowed techniques involving drugs and the subconscious reactions of muscles and nerves. The individual whose activities have to remain unrecognized is engaged in a constant struggle; he needs the help of higher Powers as well as of the protective agencies he may have placed at his service. This is the third stage in the sixty-fourth five-fold sequence of archetypal images of the cyclic process. It refers to the UNMASKING of hidden motives and personal secrets. It may refer to the publicizing of past behavior.
Pluto-Charon conjunct Varda - 21 Scorpio
Pluto-Charon conjunct Cupido - 21 Scorpio
Cupido - (Redefining partnerships such as marriage. helps to create a sense of harmony when working in large groups or organizations. Also excellent for reestablishing family relationships that have been fractured.) ;
Haumea conjunct Huya - 28 Virgo
Haumea: - (connects with issues of fertility, childbirth and renewal, whenever something new is “born”, and the pangs and pains associated with creativity. Haumea assists in bringing forth what is fresh or new, and facilitates its emergence. She is also an image of self-reliance, autonomy, revitalization and rejuvenation. Prominently placed, she could indicate work with obstetrics, gynecology, fertility/infertility issues or as a midwife.) ; (she will represent ethnic and minority races. The rocky composition of the planet and her myth also indicate a strong association with the Earth element and fundamental matters of creation.As a female creational energy she does signify the re-emergence of the belief in the Creatress and as such, she may well also represent women’s issues and maybe even those of minority groups, such as homosexual men. Haumea has a real resistance to being owned by men or masculine energy, as we can see from the story of the discovery of the planet, when neither man could claim her.There are also associations with evolution and transits to her invoke such things as the discovery of baby dinosaur skeletons. Since in myth she represents childbirth and prevents the necessity of Caesarean birth, she surely signifies such matters and this is supported by the dwarf planet’s obvious production of a whole family.) ; (Haumea is named after the Hawaiian creatrix goddess of fertility. Her many chidren sprang from different parts of her body (including her brain). The planet has 8 moons which correspond to her 8 children which are represented by the 8 Hawaiian islands Haumea birthed from various points on her body. Haumea herself takes many different forms and has experienced many different rebirths. Her name means “sacred birth”. In astrology, Haumea represents the ability to give birth in a special way – in essence - the ability to produce a pure, clear, fresh , new state of consciousness; and the ability to birth soul awareness of an unadulterated nature. The purity element is derived from the fact that Haumea is made up of smooth pure rock and pure ice – unadulterated, fundamental elements in a rapidly spinning state of equilibrium. The “birthing” aspect is derived not only from Haumea herself, but also due to the egg-shape of the planet. Haumea is also associated with the incarnation of souls over many lifetimes and through this, represents the continuance of the soul as well as the ability to maintain awareness of one’s soul nature from lifetime to lifetime. Haumea teaches a wholistic view of life – integrating biological and ecological awareness with the sacredness of life and an attunement to embracing our sojourn on earth with the awareness of being an evolving soul. In this way she represents a re-birth in consciousness for humanity, which supports greater spiritual awareness about the fundamental primordial forces of life. Heumea supports action to reorient the world’s militaristic and destructive use of power and resources into a nurturing force that protects life, home and family and aids humanity’s emergence into a spiritually and primordial aware state of being. It symbolizes a new world view, particularly in relation to spiritual and religious beliefs. At a personal level, Haumea inspires the application of our personal attributes and resources for the same principles. She is a focus point through which we connect wit the Mother Focus in the Divine energy, the point where spiritual birth or rebirth can be accessed and experienced, bringing greater spiritual awareness and attunement. She opens doors within us.
Where Haumea is strong you will find :
• Searching for spiritual answers, greater spiritual understanding
• Willingness to change religion if the path leads that way
• Extraordinary versatility
• Insight and quickness, innovation
• A sense of the ideal, and worshipping nature as revealing the divine
• Fantasy and mythology as a vehicle
• A dislike of irony and skepticism
• Mystical awareness
• Pantheism
• Seeking to understand the spirit within/ underlying human beings
• Celebration of the divine, the creator
• Earnest, vivid nature, alive with spirit.
• Nurturer and supporter of genius.
• Interest in classical and metaphysical studies.
• Having a sense of the unseen, a type of knowing
• The Divine mother
• Knowing that all religions lead to the same realization of the divine.)

☌
Zeus - (Excellent for learning to channel one's anger into positive expressions. Becoming a voice of principle without becoming dogmatic or holier than thou. Getting in touch with one's inner truth. An excellent Essence for speakers, lecturers, etc.) ; (Controlled, directed energy. Machines; creativity; leadership. All things military. Combustion engines. Compulsion. Drive ... Zeus is like a loaded gun that is aimed. Even the glyph looks like a rocket. It signifies well planned efforts.Relates to learning to channel one's anger into positive expressions. Becoming a voice of principle without becoming dogmatic or holier than thou. Getting in touch with one's inner truth. Relates to speakers, lecturers, etc.) ;
PHASE 178 (VIRGO 28°): A BALDHEADED MAN WHO HAS SEIZED POWER.
KEYNOTE: The sheer power of personality in times that call for decision.
Whether at the religious or at the socio-political and culturallevel there comes a time when obsolescent patterns of order and cultural refinement have to be radically and relentlessly challenged. Catabolic personages emerge to seize power and dictate decisions that alter the structures of society; or within an individual life, an intense urge for cathartic changes mobilizes the will, and traumatic decisions are made. At such times, the issue has to be met and, ruthless as the power may appear, it must be accepted.
At this third stage of the thirty-sixth sequence we face the un-postponable necessity for decision and transformation. Existence is motion. No static formation, however beautiful and inspiring, can remain long unchallenged. Everything bows to THE POWER OF THE WILL— divine, executively human, or Satanic.
~ Gal. Center conjunct Astraea - 26 Sagittarius ~
Galactic Center - (Wholeness within one's self. Uniting with higher vibrational beings for a common cause.) ; (Keywords: center of the milky way, transmitter of divine consciousness, sensitive point, ESP. Positive: emitting wisdom, a stream of galatic conciousness, new paradigm thinking, personal freedom and truth, sensitive to sound, color and vibration, brilliant insight, craves implementation. Negative: release of trauma, emotional wounds, blackhole, dilemmas and choicees involving dichotomy of 'heaven and earth', let go of what is in way for a new path. Neutral: source of energetic particles, the subconcious mind, 'uranus/neptune vibe', energy vortex, infrared)
☌
Astraea: - (the group learning by experience’ an inability to read beginnings and endings or to “let go” of things; staying to “the end” bitter end ; believing that “its not finished yet” even if it already is; blocked closure; people or events; the witnessing of events. Thoughtless interference.) ; (Astraea is named for the goddess of justice, symbolized by the balanced scales. She was last of the Immortals to withdraw from Earth and was turned into the constellation of Virgo. The asteroid seems to be a symbol of integration and wholeness, whether in ideal state or the fragmentation that requires a restoration to the ideal. There is something sublime about Astraea’s idealism, which seems to relate to Divine Order. Unsurprisingly, it does not always sit comfortably in the ‘real’ world – just as true balance is hard to achieve and maintain. Astraea brings things together, and also breaks them apart. It gives intellectual acumen (like Pallas) and practical problem-solving skills. There is a great intensity to Astraea, and it can manifest in a deeply concentrated way, both in personal terms and more mundanely, such as the concentration of energy involved in splitting atoms apart. Astraea’s intensity sometimes means that it shows up as an obsessive streak, and a tendency to wait around too long for something to finish, or a willingness to put up with other people past a point of reasonable tolerance. Another important point is that Astraea seems to relate to the realm of the very small – in material terms, to the cellular, atomic and sub-atomic planes, and to all the quanta of information that the mind processes in order to understand the wholeness of concepts and ideas, and various kinds of relationships.) ; (Staying until the bitter end. While this may show someone with perseverance, the asteroid Astraea more often indicates someone who stays in a bad job/relationship/friendship far too long or doesn’t know when to let go.)
PHASE 266 (SAGITTARIUS 26°): A FLAG BEARER IN A BATTLE.
KEYNOTE: The nobly accepted subservience of the individual to collective values and goals.
A flag symbolizes an organized collectivity of human beings, a nation or even a social class. In the old-fashioned type of battle, whoever carries the flag has to feel himself the representative of the integrity and unity of his group. His personal life and his welfare should therefore be totally submerged in and identified with the welfare of the "greater Whole" of which every person can act as a conscious and responsible agent for mankind. In substance, the symbol asks: "Are you ready to assume this role!"
This first stage of the fifty-fourth five-fold sequence presents a picture of what social consciousness can mean in its highest implications. The flag-bearer is unarmed, defensless; yet he can be the rallying point for the total effort of a large collectivity. This is a symbol of CONSECRATION TO AN IDEAL.

It involves going through the process of entering that state of awareness and processing and using what is encountered there. There is a tendency to more physically based activities while approaching this point where as after Altjira when you are leaving the the dream world, there is more of a focus on telling other people about it or acting on the basis of the information and awarenesses tapped there. Planets in aspect patterns with Altjira describe what you encounter in the world of visions and dreams, how you deal with it and what impact it has on you.) ; (We know that Altjira is about sifting through our Personal and Karmic history to find Programming that’s not really Us) ; (In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Altjira is the sky god of the Arrernte. He created the Earth, then retired to the sky and remained there. Altjira was the central god of a sacred era called the Dreamtime. The Aboriginal people believe that every person essentially exists eternally in the Dreaming. For unknown reasons, Altjira had emu’s feet. A surreal figure like him might appear in a dream.) ; (Dreams belong to the dominion of Neptune. Altjira has something to do with sleep and dreaming.
"Dreaming" is also often used to refer to an individual's or group's set of beliefs or spirituality.) ; ( Altjira has the ability to understand the abstract language of astrology, prophecy and mythology) : ( It was named after the creation deity of the Aranda (Arrente, Arunta, Arranta) Aboriginal people from Australia's Northern Territory. Altijera brought the universe into being by dreaming it...something the Aboriginals term Dreamtime. Then, it is said, he retired to the sky, seemingly indifferent to the earthly plane, leaving further work to be done by the lesser gods who remained behind. His name is connected with their word meaning "to dream". The Aranda believe that there are two kinds of reality. There is the everyday linear, objective activity, and then there is the creative, spiritual Dreamtime, which they believe is more real then waking reality.
It is said that Altjira is willing to help anyone tho asks and who is willing to work with the dreamtime.) ; (connected to the psychic or visionary realm)

PHASE 41 (TAURUS 11°): A WOMAN WATERING FLOWERS IN HER GARDEN.
KEYNOTE: Development of the powers of the mind on which ego-consciousness is based.
The psycho-mental nature of a human being takes form out of the fulfillment and transcendence of biological functions and drives, much as the bud appears as the sap rises, and bursts forth into bloom. "As the roots, so the flowers" is an old axiom. The consciousness attaches itself to this wondrous efflorescence; it lavishes its attention upon it, its love — alas, usually a possessive kind of love ("This is my garden!"). Thus the ego develops. It may develop in a negative, resentful way if a belated frost destroys the buds. This is the first stage of the ninth sequence of phases, a sequence that basically refers to the overall situation related to the development of the ego. The Keyword here is CULTIVATION.
~ Poseidon conjunct Memoria - 0 Scorpio ~
POSEIDON - (Spirituality, truth, ideation, enlightenment, illumination. Wisdom and culture ... Poseidon has an affinity for Pisces and its glyph looks like a sideways version of Pisces. Be careful drawing the glyph, so it is not mistaken for Neptune. Poseidon is Super-Neptune without a negative side. Poseidon advances only 0°29' per year and takes 720 years to circle the Sun.) ; ( In the highest levels of the consciousness, we begin with Poseidon. This is philosophy, higher knowing, channeling, spirituality, meditation. In Poseidon we begin to see it all. Poseidon is the definition of quantum, the notions of “All” and “everything and nothing at once.” True existentialism. The Crown chakra is associated with Poseidon, which brings a visionary quality to the area. Kronos is mediumship and Poseidon channeling. Once you have entered the super-conscious, anything is possible and the truest capabilities of the healer are unlocked. In Poseidon our spiritual vibrations shift and accelerate in ways that bring us into other worlds and planes of existence, like living in a parallel reality that resembles the physical state. Through this experience in the dream state, it is possible to understand how the worlds merge, collide, and compose the reality that makes up the Infinite Present. Your Guides, Angels, Ascended Masters, and other Entities resonate at this frequency of the super-conscious.) ; (Spirituality, education, hyperspace, literature, technology, religion. Poseidon is the final planet in the Uranian system. It represents the galaxies, dimensions, and our authentic connection to the Cosmos. The colors, patterns, and sounds are multi-layered, vivid, infinite. If Poseidon is Opposite Mercury, the Native was a crusader, as this is the making for someone with a close-minded, dogmatic outlook. When aspects are stressful to Poseidon, it shows the unevolved consciousness. Poseidon is like a Super-Neptune, but without all the negative qualities Neptune is so well known for. (Read Ebertin’s A Combination of Stellar Influences and you will see what I mean.) Poseidon is the Native’s outlook, approach, or application of spiritual concepts, which s/he learned in the prior life. Also look at the 12th House for any other clues. The more Poseidon is aspected unfavorably, the more spiritually unevolved the Native.) ; ( Keywords: greek god of sea, good side of neptunian/uranian vibes. Positive: psychic sensitivity, uplifting people/ideas, psychic vibrations, persuasion, intellectual or spiritual influences, deep intuition, heightening ones senses. Neutral: idealogical or moral stances, spread of ideas, inspiration, religion, mediums, clarity, enlightenment, receptivity to the force, reactions to the media; windows, mirrors, refraction of light.) ;
☌
Memoria: - (an indication of a good (or bad) memory, depending on aspects; a harking back to former circumstance, a reviving of the past; the collective sum of remembered experience which makes us who we are.) ; [your 'old' knowledge; people, places, events, connections of an unknown past (or may be known!)] ;
PHASE 211 (SCORPIO 1°): A CROWDED SIGHTSEEING BUS ON A CITY STREET.
KEYNOTE: The fundamental human eagerness to expand one's social horizon and to experience the results of collective achievements and new ways of life.
In this symbol we are dealing with a group-experience of a vast collective achievement, a city. Individuals coming from a variety of places and backgrounds "commune" in new awareness of a greater whole of human existence, an organized whole with its own rhythms of multifarious activity. New feelings and an expansion of consciousness result. What begins in the Libra phase of the cycle is given substantiation during the Scorpio phase. The process of "initiation" into collective values is now reaching the feeling nature.
This symbol begins the forty-third five-fold sequence. It refers to the first realization of what a larger whole of existence — a more encompassing frame of reference — implies, in very concrete and perhaps startling terms. What is at stake is A WIDENING OF EXPERIENCE.
~ Praamzius conjunct Lachesis - ??? ~
☌
Lachesis: - (it shows the development stage of any situation, period, relationship or adventure) ;
~ Vesta conjunct Sisyphus - 12 Virgo ~
☌
~ Hygiea conjunct Hades - 10 Gemini ~
Hygiea: - (Health, hygiene, tradition and natural medicine, doctors and healers, disease, illness, toxins, fear of poison, fear of doctors, fear of medical results, hypochondria, hesitation to get checkups, operations, misdiagnosis, drug abuse, diet, worrying about the health of family and friends.) ; (represents our attitude and belief system concerning health and fitness awareness. Hygeia also rules sanitation and the valuable role hygiene and diet play in health maintenance. She often shows up by transit or appears on a major angle when an individual is experiencing a health issue… Hygeian influence is felt among dietitians, physical fitness educators and teachers, dental hygienists, mental health facilitators who embrace the mind/body connection, holistic practitioners, sanitation inspectors, environmentalists, and preservationists who believe keeping the Earth clean and pollution free.) ; (rules the health practices and is integrated into medical astrology, but in her negative side has something to bring in cases of depression & anxiety of a higher level than usual.) ; (Hygeia governs sanitation, hygiene, ecology, preservation, discovery of vaccines, medical and alternative health organizations, fitness and exercise, places of meditation and recovery and all venues that recognize the link between mind, body and spirit. Hygeia is also associated with physical, mental and chemical imbalances.) ;
☌
Hades - (All that is unpleasant, useless, antique, or deeply buried. The occult ... Hades is misunderstood, because many think only of the negative meanings: dirt, garbage, sewage, sickness, poverty, mistakes, and all things ugly and sinister. There is a positive side that deals with antiquity, depth, and past lives. Hades advances 1°01' per year, so its orbit around the Sun takes a little over 360 years.) ; (Hades is the place where we all start in the soul’s journey. The original delineations of Hades involved disease, secrets, death, lack, poverty, famine, and evil. Many believe this is the Underworld, the source of evil, Satanic or demonic spirits, but this is hardly the case! Hades is easily the most misconceived planet and it is a combination of other planetary energies, involving Saturn (responsibility, discernment), Neptune (addiction, spirituality), and Pluto (destruction, transformation). Hades also represents the collective consciousness, karmic debts, and paying back for whatever does not serve your Highest Good. When we start this “life” thing, at the beginning of the soul cycle, we all begin here and work the evil out of the soul and decide unconsciously to become higher vibration beings. However, it is the overarching realm we enter in the dream state, as this Hades is the keeper of the portal to the other worlds and only shows us what we are ready to know. Unlike Zeus and Vulkanus, Hades is largely unconscious and has very little subconscious energy attached to it, though it still does exist in this domain. Authentic purpose is the theme here.) ; (Personal responsibility, discernment, poverty, consciousness, the dream world portal, deep karma, inner fortitude. A visit to Hades is a nightmare. You are stuck in the vacuum of time and cannot escape until the subconscious sorts through what it needs to. This planet’s outcomes are favorable, but only if you are accountable for your actions and follow instinct. Hades has ten-thousand times the karma of Pluto, used by Evolutionary Astrologers. When Hades appears in the chart, it shows where the Native failed in life and must continue working throughout lifetimes. Chiron works in a similar fashion, but represents the wounded ego, whereas Hades bears no wounds, unless you are paying back for poor choices that do not follow your highest intent. Hades is a primary Focus in the chart, as it is repeated throughout lifetimes. There is a strong need for karmic clearing, energetic release, and cord severing in order to break the cycle.)
~ Niobe conjunct Moon - 2 Leo ~
Niobe: - ( show where you'll be humbled if you let yourself become too proud, boastful, arrogant. Basically, if you're a prick, you'll get kicked.) ; (she wept for the loss of her children, but her pride and boastfulness were the reason for her loss) ; (Grief, sorrows. Niobe loses her entire family.) ; (Astrologically, Niobe represents undue pride in one’s accomplishments, gifts, heritage or fortunes, and the fall from grace which often accompanies this. It can indicate issues with one’s own children, boastfulness, and inordinate self-importance, arrogance or conceit. Often humbling experiences will accrue, granting enhanced perspective or teaching important lessons.) ; (Niobe is viewed mainly as a cautionary tale of Pride gone way too far, like Arachne. She is viewed as the worst possible scenario- Someone who is given much in life, is ungrateful and boastful, and who sees it all taken from her. She is also a foil for Artemis and Apollo, where their bloodlust is revealed- They are, at their core, hunters who will gleefully murder whatever prey their mother sets them to. In that sense they are far more Titan than Olympian. It is important to note that Niobe is part of the bloodline of Tantalus, and can be seen as sort of the end result of the Tantalus process- Once you finally get what you want, how will it change you? Who will you be upon the fulfillment of your desires? And if you were to lose it all, who are you then?) ;

~ Sappho conjunct Sisyphus - 13 Virgo ~
Sappho: - (Friendship; bonding; feeling close to or the same as others; kindred spirits; having things in common; artistic interests; shops/galleries. Sappho as “pairs” assumes another importance in medical astrology.) ; (Keywords: sexual attraction, deep appreciation of self and others. Positive: artistic, poetic, refined and cultures, very passionate. Neutral: Homosexuality) ;
☌
Sisyphus: - (Starting over; the “uphill climb;” feeling like you're running' against the wind! It’s having to “go back to the beginning;” getting the rug pulled out from under you just as you thought you were getting somewhere; dogged rejection of defeat.) ; ( Sisyphus may reveal where we have a tendency to
repeatedly make the same mistakes or become stuck in the same pattern through fear of change. The more you fight to hold on, the heavier the burden becomes until it pushes you back to the beginning again and the cycle repeats.
Life becomes monotonous without change. Ares, the Greek equivalent of Mars, is rightfully outraged when Death is chained up. We need challenge. If we have no goals, no passion, no motivation – life becomes very stagnant.
But in all this, there is a little piece of us that might admire Sisyphus for his
outright refusal to accept death and for his ability to repeat a task that is doomed to fail for all time. In him we see the try, try and try again attitude that is a distinct feature of humanity. Somehow he captures an aspect of humanity’s indomitable spirit that lives as if it’s never going to die, that finds meaning where there may be none and fights to live in the face of death.
Perhaps the positive side of this asteroid is the ability to keep going, even when we can’t yet see the point. Essentially, he perhaps shows where we can find meaning in what we do on a daily basis, not just in our achievements or the winning of battles. Suggested Keywords and Phrases for Sisyphus: Starting over, repetition, meaninglessness, try again, pushing through it, pointless work, an uphill climb, a thankless task, an eternal battle, “it’ll be the death of me!”, exasperation, frustration, trial, an uphill battle, nothing accomplished, the absurdity of life, futility, cheating death, getting nowhere. Finding faith in the mundane, maintaining faith when all else fails, believing without seeing, appreciating the journey rather than the destination, acceptance that all things change, adhering to the will of the Gods, accepting your fate." ) ;
A POWERFUL STATESMAN OVER-COMES A STATE OF POLITICAL HYSTERIA.
KEYNOTE: The focusing of the collective need for order and structural interdependence into a personage who incarnates the answer to this need.
The husband role of fecundate of nature here takes on a collective social significance. We are at the stage where a powerful realization of the very purpose of the cycle of existence faces the chaotic remains of a dis-structured past. The character of the leader is always delineated by the need, subconscious though it may be, of the unformed agglomeration of entities he is called upon by destiny to lead. In time the leader will be worshiped as the "divine Father" of the society he structured.
At this third stage of the thirty-third sequence we see a new type of characterization of the many-faceted polarization of positive and negative. We have before us a personage endowed with CHARISMA, this elusive and mysterious power that comes from a man's or woman's openness to the power of planetary evolution.
~ Hera conjunct Aphrodite - 12 Aquarius ~
Hera: - (Events through partners & partnership; Issues of “rights” between people; jealousy; relationship dynamic and parental model; maintaining fairness in dealing with others.) ; (Hera represents marriage and childbirth; jealousy and score-keeping; vindictiveness; determination; an unfaithful spouse; fairness and equality in relationships; and fears of abandonment.) ; (Hera in your chart to show what you want to keep, your loyalty, your jealousy, what you are willing to defend, where you want to be married, where you want to be “wife.”) ; (Hera represents our over critical eye, we all have faults and when we live in close contact with another they become very clear quickly. Hera represents our ability to be over critical of the faults of others, to magnify slight quirks and to forget the positives. Hera in the chart shows where we can be too picky and fussy when it comes to relationships, where we need to relax more and give the other person some breathing space.) ;
☌
Aphrodite: - (shares many attributes with the planet Venus, named for her Roman counterpart, but the relationships she engenders are more likely to be flirtations or short affairs, not lasting or permanent unions. Aphrodite represents fleeting passion, flirtation, illicit affairs; vanity, fickleness, capriciousness or changeability; vacillation and indecisiveness, and conceit.) ; (A dynamic drive to mate, & to consummate sexual desire with a specific partner at certain times. If one has a magnetic or receptive partner, this can be intensely emotional sex. There is a strong desire to connect with others even if the person is a loner.) ; (Aphrodite does not cover such a range in her rulership. She like a pure drop of “aphrodisiac” from the hem of Venus’s robe.) ; (Aphrodite relates to "impulsive love and attraction, love inspired by fated events, animosity turning to magnetism, charisma.); (Brings about beauty, and sense of style and elegance. That you’ll own, and no one else. Not saying this aspects births the most beautiful women. Yet, these women stand out, and their feminine qualities is quite noticeable. Which makes them the most beautiful.) ; (Keywords: greek goddess of love and beauty, venusian (ishtar, innanen, astarte), born of the sea. Positive: impulsive love attraction, love inspired by fated events, charisma. Neutral: animosity turning into magnetism, seashells, roses.)
PHASE 312 (AQUARIUS 12°): ON A VAST STAIRCASE STAND PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT TYPES, GRADUATED UPWARD.
KEYNOTE: The necessity of recognizing differences of types and levels of development wherever human beings live and work together.
This symbol obviously refers to the ascending process of evolution of life forms and consciousness. It seems to apply especially to the fact that differences of levels exist among human beings. The ideal of equalitarianism has to be balanced by a realization that hierarchy of levels is a fact of nature. Each person should be aware of the level at which he (or she) stands, even as he strives to move toward a higher one. He should look up for inspiration and examples, while helping the human beings of the next lower level to reach up. This is the great give-and-take of evolution, and it applies to socioculturalevolution as well as to the progression of biological species.
At this second stage of the sixty-third sequence we find a symbol of "ascent," contrasting with the preceding one which implied a "descent" of spiritual forces. It warns us against sentimentally overstressing our Western equalitarianism which essentially applies to the spiritual core of all individual persons, considered "sons of God" or spiritual monads. Every human being is potentially divine as an individual person, but THE NATURAL PROGRESSION OF STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS is an unavoidable reality to accept at the social-mental level.
~ Kassandra conjunct Toro - 17 Leo ~
Kassandra - (represents the archetypally dysfunctional marriage, the gift of prophesy and the boldness to exercise one's intuition and insight in public. Kassandra was a beautiful red haired young girl who caught the eye of Apollo, the Sun God and also the God of prophesy. Being the Sun God, he desired that Kassandra would worship him as other females did. She did not pay Apollo the attention he desired and so he spat in her mouth, giving her a loaded gift of prophesy in exchange for her favors. Kassandra refused Apollo still and in retaliation he cursed her (because he could not take the gift back) that no one would believe her warnings and intuitions. Kassandra warned repeatedly of disasters but was ignored, branded hysterical and died insane. This asteroid is reminiscent of the marriage in which the man is king of the castle, the bread winner and a chauvinist. The wife is unhappy in her role as subjugate and makes noises about wanting something more. The husband marginalizes the wife's perceptions with his reasoning's why he must stay in control, why he must make the decisions, why he must keep power. The wife feels she is right but is not heard and the husband frequently lets her know how she cannot contribute well enough to have a say in the finances, or why she is wrong to feel neglected because he is always giving his attention elsewhere and usually working, why he must be controlling because her behavior makes him feel jealous, why her requests for intimacy are just silly and impractical, that she sees things the way she does because she is a woman. The wife begins to feel crazy. Having been told she is irrational and overly emotional and expectant and incapable, the wife reaches a state of emotional hysteria similar to battered women's syndrome, and neurosis and low self esteem take over. This state is known in psychological parlance as the "Kassandra Complex." Being brainwashed into believing you are wrong when you feel you are right is a CRAZY MAKER. Typically when the wife reaches her mid thirties she develops the inner strength to see thru the words of the husband and perceive the truth. She IS capable, She IS trustworthy. The women who stay in these dysfunctional marriages come to a point where they give up. This wife will choose to subjugate her own identity and desires to insure she will continue to be fed. Kassandra can show where we need to stand up for our beliefs and inner faith no matter what. She tells of the gift of prophesy and the ability to forewarn others thru giving credence to our intuition and insight. Where we are not given credibility is pointed out by the location of this asteroid as well. Kassandra shows where we deviate from the norm to pursue the truth even if it seems crazy at the time. By studying the aspects she makes in our chart, we can get a clue to how we are believed or not believed, how we are respected and how we handle being the odd one out even when you KNOW you are right.) ; (And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." Corinthians 13:2 ) ; [Prophecy, prediction, psychic knowing, foreboding. Giving advice. Deafness (possibly). Falling on deaf ears, silenced, unheard, denounced, derided, where you doubt your sanity, crazy making. Hysteria, unbalanced, madness (through being denied true expression). Trust yourself.] ; (Kassandra represents issues with belief and credibility; trustworthiness; judgments about whether to believe others; prophetic gifts and foreknowledge; offering counsel and rejection of advice.) ; (Wasted breath! Advise & consent roles—offering advice or prophecies; questions about whether to believe what others say (whether to follow advice); offering counsel; broadcasting ideas; lecturing; auditory sensitivity; hearing difficulties.)
☌
Toro: [Machismo; bullying; intimidation; doing hard, physical work; strength (muscular); muscle flexing—psychologically or physically; challenging others; rough treatment; competitive; football; prizefighting; toughness.] ; ( Astrologically, Toro represents muscular strength, toughness and endurance; “bullying” or intimidation; coarse, brutal acts or words; hard physical work; and machismo or male competitiveness.) ; ( TORO represents the principle of boundless strength and power and how we handle the power ... TORO describes how we confront and handle the onslaught of violent or negative influences that we experience either from without or from within our own minds ... Knowing how to turn one’s enemy into an ally is indeed a potent power, especially when the “enemy” lies within your own being! Thus, TORO’s secret teaching involves taming the inner power of the bull that resides in each of us and directing it for constructive purposes ... THUS completing the BRIDGE that transforms the raw, instinctive desire of MARS into the controlled, focused, and penetrating power of PLUTO.) ; (it seems those with a prominent Toro, as a child get bullied in the areas Toro touches and become very sensitive in these areas. But as you grow up this pain can be turned into a power brought about from fighting to overcome in the areas the pain was endured.) ; (Intensity)
PHASE 137 (LEO 17°): A VOLUNTEER CHURCH CHOIR SINGING RELIGIOUS HYMNS.
KEYNOTE: The feeling of togetherness which unites men and women in their dedication to a collective ideal.
Religion in its institutionalized aspect is the attempt to give a transcendental character to the feeling of community. The fellowship of common work needed for substance and security in a dangerous world is exalted in periodic rituals in which the co-workers participate. At such moments the consciousness and feelings of human beings flow into a common mold in which they become refreshed by the experience of shared values and beliefs.
This second stage symbol presents a contrast with that of the first only in that the collectively human aspect of experience is in contrast to the purely natural and fundamental character of instinctual life. The existence of a volunteer church choir implies a rather steady phase of culture and society. What is sung reflects the special way in which a particular community of human beings — extensive as it may be — interprets the deepest realities of human existence and man's longings for an ideal. The symbol expresses the idealized aspect of TOGETHERNESS.

The sign may show what we have mastered in the past.); (Karma represents the balance between what we put out and what we receive, the results of our actions, and the aptness of the circumstances which assail us, for good or ill.) ; (Karma can indicate a negative balance or positive balance.Negative Karmic events are like accidents, heart breaks, exposure to outbursts that seem unfair and financial losses. Positive Karmic events are sudden strokes of good fortune, chance meetings with a true love and so on. Retrograde Karma means you dished out more negative karma than positive karma in the mentioned areas.) ; (it seems to show 'the homework' you carry with you.) ;
~ Sauer conjunct VERTEX - 2 Scorpio ~
Sauer: - (named for Dr. Carl G. Sauer -- a flight dynamics engineer who worked for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory -- the private entity behind NASA, which is part of Caltech University -- starting in 1952. Out of the rubble and the lies and the politics and the wars was lurking a name and an identity. Sauer was no ordinary rocket scientist. His bio says, "His work has included mission designs for advanced spacecraft propulsion systems, including solar electric ion propulsion, nuclear propulsion and solar sailing. His database of potential spacecraft trajectories to hundreds of comets and minor planets is an invaluable resource for mission design work at JPL." Gee whiz. A flight dynamics engineer who understood how to get a spacecraft to an asteroid (not exactly easy -- try to think through the steps, when you're aiming for a moving object so far away you can barely see it with a telescope), with Mercury conjunct it, in the chart of a very, very strange airplane crash. Sauer was so advanced at this, and had made such a contribution to space travel system design, that he got his own planet named after him. One of the first things that the name of an engineer so prominent in the chart suggested was: this was engineered. More to the point, it's a reminder what humans are capable of, and how extraordinary science is. To rig up some bullshit like 9/11 does not require a high order of intelligence or technology -- merely some half-decent media skills, money, no conscience, and most of all, a motive. If you want to understand the motive, look where all the money went. The presence of a planet named for the eminent Dr. Sauer is also a sad reminder what human intelligence can do when used for a worthy cause, and what else we could be doing with our precious national resources, that is, after we feed a few hungry people and end a few wars.)
PHASE 212 (SCORPIO 2°): A DELICATE BOTTLE OF PERFUME LIES BROKEN, RELEASING ITS FRAGRANCE.
KEYNOTE: The accidental nature of opportunities that impel one to break away from a past, the remembrance of which is still poignant and cherished.
A new and greater realization usually demands the sacrifice of something which has brought loveliness and fragrance to a lesser form of living and feeling. Old feelings are poignantly remembered, even as one moves into a new and wider sphere of experience. Old relationships may be left behind, but the memory of their essential moments lingers on, perhaps strong and nostalgic.
This is the second stage of the forty-third sequence. It contrasts with the first in that it reveals the difficulty of dealing with the past as one enters into a new realm of feelings. To the excitement of novelty answers the memory of the graciousness of the past one has SURRENDERED.
~ MC conjunct Icarus - 26 Aquarius ~
Icarus: -
(… physical plane, opportunity to achieve liberation from confining or restrictive situations.
…psychological plane, can show the individual gaining freedom from social conditioning and conformity.
…spiritual plane, liberating the mind from samsara - the attachment to earthbound reality
…Fire, Through diving ahead into new situations
…Earth, Through breaking down old structures and creating new forms
…Air, Through changing my old limiting ideas
…Water, Through releasing negative feelings and finding inner peace
Keywords: capacity for liberation & risk taking, the most direct but also dangerous path to liberation (sports, meditation) . Positive: planet or asteroid that it touches has desire of freedom in that energy. Negative: crashing and burning. Neutral: where a sense of freedom is experience at high speeds but requires concentration and skillful control to avoid disaster, the need to maintain self-discipline and mindfulness during free-flight.) ; [Careless escapes without thought of consequences; desire to “leave” the fast break impulse; attraction to speed, danger or risk; desire to get away from restrictions (of aspecting points).] ;
PHASE 326 (AQUARIUS 26°): A GARAGE MAN TESTING A CAR'S BATTERY WITH A HYDROMETER.
KEYNOTE: Skill in applying knowledge of natural laws to the solution of everyday problems resulting from life in our technological society.
Here we see a man using his analytical mind to check up on the operation of the machines his inventive genius produced. This simple commonplace operation is used here as an indication of how deeply technology involves us in small matters, yet matters which in some circumstances could make the difference between life and death — i.e. a mechanical failure in a car on a crowded freeway. The need for "management" therefore is seen to affect every detail of our individual lives; this applies as well to the complexities of interpersonal, social or political relationships, because our modern society is indeed like a huge machine speeding on dangerous ground. Safety depends on available power.This is the first of five degree symbols in the sixty-sixth sequence. It tells us that we constantly need the use of our intellectual power of observation and analysis to check on the effectiveness of the energies at our disposal. It is a symbol of MENTAL EFFICIENCY.
