The new year with Venus conjunct Pholus

This blog is about the chart of New Year 2013. It is a different chart in every other country, of course, but some things remain the same amid the firework. Venus conjunct Pholus in 20-21 Sagittarius is one of those things. If you have the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, MC or sun/moon midpoint in your natal, solar return or progressed chart and in the 20th - 21st degree of Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini or Pisces you start 2013 with Venus and Polus in aspect with your chart. What does it mean? A desire to make a change, but: with the risk to throw your own glasses or shoot your own foot. It may look pretty difficult to make choices and start changes with Venus-Pholus, but somehow, on or around New Year's day the desire starts growing. It is a desire to make things better, nicer, more comfortable, more peaceful and more beautiful. And this desire is in the chart of New Year's day for everyone,  if you like to see the chart of New Year as valid for your 2013.  At least, that is what I hope that it means. It might be the first time that Venus is conjunct Pholus in the chart of a new year, so let us all watch what happens next!

This is the chart of 2013 starting in Tokyo, Japan:

1 WE have PHOLUS
Pholus is the symbol of the turning point, the creation of a change in future that you may not be aware of during the transit or progression, but that you recall later. Example: the impact of the death of JFK on young Obama was reflected by Pholus. It is like a marking point. Maybe Obama would still have had the ambition to be a President anyway, but he remembered that specific moment as an important key point, later.

2 WE have VENUS
Venus is the planet of wishes, of fun, pleasure, desire, synpathy, love, style, and sweetness. 

3 WE have VENUS conjunct PHOLUS
Venus and Pholus join forces to start changing your ideas of what is nice, fun, good and lovely. 
Those who will be born around New Year's day may have the power to change people's style and taste, just by being who they are: catalyst when it comes to what is considered to be good and nice.

20-21 MUTABLE SIGNS
Venus is in the 20th degree and Pholus in the 21st of Sagittarius on New Year's day. If these degrees mean something to you, and IF you consider the January 1 chart valid for 2013, you may be interested in the possible meaning. When Venus is on your Sun or MC or Ascendant, something nice comes your way. When Pholus is on your Sun, MC, or Ascendant, your world starts changing but you don't notice immediately. If they come together, hand in hand, it might be something pleasant that starts the change.

Maybe the 20-21 degree Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius or Gemini will meet someone who starts changing their world, with kindness. Perhaps they watch a movie or get a present that changes their views (Sun), ideas (Mercury), position (MC), motivation (Sun/Moon) or situation (AC). I don't know. I am one of them with Sun and Midheaven hit by Venus and Pholus.  Venus will be on my Sun and MC on New Years day. I expect it to be a nice day:). I will be back later next year to tell you if the January 1 chart with Venus-Pholus hitting my chart meant something for me. I am also interested in your experiences, so I will remind you of this post in the months to come and ask you to tell me what you found to be the meaning of Venus-Pholus on New Year's day. 

2013
Fact is, that at 00h00 local time on January 1, 2013, Venus and Pholus are opposition Midheaven in Iceland. I wish the Icelanders a prosperous start of the new year and I hope that something started to make life better over there! Or will it be nice fire work only?:)
We will see...

HAVE  A WONDERFUL START OF 2013! 

AND HAVE A GOOD, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

Eclipses in 2012

Eclipses are part of a cycle named Saros Series. The Saros series numbers of the Eclipses in 2012 are contradicting all predictions of doom for the next year to come. The first eclipse is on May 20 (solar; lunar eclipse on June 4)) 2012. That is in 14 South and that points at success. The second one is in 15 North (solar on November 13, lunar on November 28). According to Bernadette Brady that it is mumber with an atmosphere of joy! So why worry about 2012? Persons born around May 20, June 4, November 13 or November 28: rejoyce! The eclipses are with you. Those who have the Moon, Ascendant or Midheaven (in natal or progression) in 0 or 7 Gemini, 14 Sagittarius or 22 Scorpio: be happy! Good prospects are to be honored! No better news than good news! However...Let's first see what happened last time when there were eclipses in 14 South and 15 North.

SAROS SERIE 14 SOUTH AND15 NORTH IN 1994

In May of 1994 during Saros serie 14 South Nelson Mandela became the President of South-Africa. But after November 1994 (15 North) the Mexican economy was in crisis! 

I don't now if there were good or bad events or changes in the lives of people born on May 10, May 25, November 3 or November 18 soon after the eclipses. If you were born on one of these data, please tell me and my readers about it. As far as I know there have never been studies about the supposed to be effects of the eclipses. But given the fact that the saros series of 2012 have a good press, let us wait and see and hope for the best!

Winter Solstice chart

The narrowest aspect in the Winter Solstice chart of 2011 is the applying trine between Sun and Jupiter. That is rather nice, this symbol of prosperity, even though the next one is Mars square Pholus (a turning point in a battle). In a way this Winter Solstice chart could point at growing hope and risky competition or aggression at the same time. If this was the chart of an individual, there would be self confidence and (because of that) growing prospects together with a tendency to take risks that could cause injuries. But only if this person was a military man or in a country at war or a later young lad who lives in the kind of neighborhood where one needs to fight to keep standing. 

Zeus/Jupiter is the symbol of moving forward

A Sun trine Jupiter is a jolly good aspect for a day (or 3), but the Sun moves on and so do we. Last year's Jupiter conjunct Uranus gave hope, but 2011 showed us revolutions that ended in question marks and economic ups and downs that after all brought us all at a lower level. The Sun is trine Jupiter and square Uranus on December 22. That is just like last year again a picture of hope. We can only hope that this time Jupiter-Uranus will bring us sudden windfall and relief and not just the hope for it. The expectations of 2012 are very law and there are even ideas about the world's end. Every era has those kind of ideas, but let us face it: there is a world economy in trouble and the West begins to loose the competition with developing countries like India and China. In my country thousands face the end of their job. It won't be easy in 2012, they say, but I wonder about March 12, 2012.


On the 12th of March 2012 Jupiter in Taurus will be trine Pluto in Capricorn. Sounds like growing profit and success in the material world. Sounds like a good beginning of spring. Is that just hope?...I hope not. Last time there was good news about the Euro and the market went up with Jupiter trine Pluto. So...perhaps this will happen again. But just like Sun trine Jupiter this aspect will be over and gone in a few days. And few of us will benefit from stocks rising...


I don't know what to think of this years Winter Solstice chart. The world is not homogeneous. People are different and so are countries and economies. But all human beings want to have hope for the years to come. In that sense it is great to see that there is still hope in the charts of astrological and calendar charts of importance. Hope keeps us going, so let us keep hope!

October 21, 1844 and May 21, 2011: end of the world again

4 Riders of the Apocalyps by Duerer...

Mr. Harold Camping says that Jesus will return on May 21 this year and that should mean that the end of the world is near on October 21, 2012. He said this in 1994, too, and he was wrong. William Miller said it for October 22 1844 and the world hasn't ceased turning. His followers were so disappointed that this day (October 22, 1944) is remembered ast the Great Disappointment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Disappointment Does the chart of that day show disappointment? And how about May 21? I searched and I found Uranus in the 4th of Aries in both charts. Here is the chart of the final minute of the Day of Great Disappointment with the transits for May 21, 2011.

On May 21 this year the Sun is exactly square the planet of illusions and desillusions (Neptune). That might just be coincidence, because on the day of the Great Desillusion there is no such square. There is one thing that both charts have: Uranus in the 4th degree of Aries. Apparently, when Uranus is in the 4th degree of Aries, somebody announced the end of the world. I received a mail about a man who thinks that the end is near on May 8, because (in Indian astrology) 5 positions change sign in the first 2 weeks of May. On the 8th of May Uranus is in the same position as on October 22, 1844 and May 21, 2011: in the fourth of Aries. Don't ask me why, but if you know the answer, please send your comment.

There are a lot of theories about the end of the world. See Astropost about Exit Mundi, 2012 and the Age of Aquarius here.

Is the Sun sign changing to Aquarius now?

A lot of visitors for the post about 'Signs of changing times' (in your individual chart!) and the 'Sunsign changing" (about the individual progressed sunsign) made me think of the reason why and what they were searching for. It seems that birds dropping out of the sky and large amounts of dead fish, the floods, the lack of activity on the surface of the sun and other 'biblical' events scare a lot of people. They want to know if the sun sign is changing now or if 2012 is really 'the end of times'. And apparently, one of the signs of the end of the world (they think) is the end of the Age of Pisces. There are two posts on this blog with an answer for them:

Exit mundi or Age of Aquarius (http://astropost.blogspot.com/2009/10/2012-exit-mundi-or-age-of-aquarius.html) about the Maya calendar, chart of December 2012 with yod and the Age of Aquarius.

1. EXIT MUNDI

In that jpost I wrote that there has never been an enormous disaster predicted by means of astrology. The Tsunami and September 11 were NOT predicted, by noone, and certainly not like this: 'On September 11, 2001 in New York Muslim terrorists will hit a building by plane'. So how can anyone be so sure about what exactly will happen on December 21, 2012 and where? They can't because there is no chart of the world! A chart is related to time AND place on earth. In other words: 'the world' doesn't have a chart or horoscope.

The Mayas didn't know about Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Mayas knew about their world (South America). They had no idea about Spain, for example and they thought that the Spanyards were Gods. So, they didn't exactly 'know it all'. 

They also didn't know about the Yod in the December 21, 2012 chart with the Saturn-Pluto-Jupiter-Yod. And even if they did: the 'finger of God' in the Yod is pointing at Jupiter, the planet of protection, in the ninth degree of Gemini. If you want to see this Yod as a bad sign, I will ask you why. Because Jupiter will be conjunct Aldebaran. See Constellation of Worlds and you will find:

With Jupiter: Great ecclesiastical honor and high military preferment. [Robson*, p.121.]

The 9th degree of Gemini is a nice sabian degree, too.

They also didn't have our method of calculating the years, months and days as we do since a few ages. So adding numerology to the Maya Calender to prove 'the end of times' is only contributing to the effect (fear, exitement) and has nothing to do with the Mayas. Astrology isn't numerology... Back to astrology.

2. AGE OF AQUARIUS

The end of the Age of Pisces (the 2000 year cycle of today) could be Zero Aries of 2012 (March 20, 2012), says Gene Ray in the post on this blog: Age of Aquarius)
If that is so, what could happen? The world didn't end when the Age of Pisces started. Why would the world end when the Age of Aquarius begins? In the individual progressed chart sunsigns change every 30 years and we don't all die when that happens. Barack Obama's sunsign changed 5 months ago and this is only resonating the (growing) change in lifestyle as a President. My sunsign changed (to Aquarius, as a matter of facts) when my lifestyle changed. Just think of how our lifestyle changed since World War II, with all new technologies and you see that we are already changing our lifestyle. In fact, since the beginning of humanity!   

CONCLUSION

Some people just love doom theories (immediate climate change, the Russians will be coming and a comet may hit the earth and more of such stories). Twitter and the internet inform us immediately and that is how we know about events all over the world. Maybe that is scary sometimes. We can only try to be carefull and be alert and do the best we can. Why spend energy on a fictious idea, while there are dozens of disasters around us and we don't care? If you were in Somalia or in Haiti you would think that the end of the world is already here, but if you were having a nice holiday somewhere, would you think of your world that way?  

With astrology you can see something coming up, but there is not much you can do, except being prepared to do the best you can or simply hold your breath and NOT be afraid too much. Because just like proclaimed disasters and falling asteroids, some transits and progression come and go without any impact. Why is that? I don't know. Maybe they were only meant to keep you alert and to feel alive or maybe the idea of the brain is to make your blood flow! So let the sunshine in, like in the song! And watch what REALLY happens in your world today. Don't forget to see the good things. Today they found a way to stop Avian Flu!

2012 Exit Mundi or Age of Aquarius?

Scary movies and scary predictions have a function: they make you feel alive and kicking. Your heart is pounding, you breath deeper. Your senses have been awakened, it is Red Alert! And the kick makes you feel good, when you don't overdo it...That is why we love to do bungee jumping, see 'Scary Movie', or read about disasters in other places than ours. Afterwards we thank God that we are alive and well, sigh...:)

Maybe that effect is the reason why there is so much attention for 2012. What a relief it will be when in 2013 most of us are still around! Or will some followers of the idea of destruction be disappointed? Now that there is a disaster movie about the year 2012, hysteria might grow.

MAYA and YOD
I read that in the USA teenagers plan to commit suicide because they are afraid to die (yes, it is true...). And I found an astrology site with the chart of December 21, 2012 and a tight Yod of Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter (the Apex): http://www.astrologycourse.org/2012.htm

CHART
The Mayas seem to have been very accurate in calculating the position of the stars. They were correct about this one (though they didn't know about Uranus, Neptune or Pluto!!!). So the Yod in the drawing is a Yod that they could not forsee.

It is not such an exceptional chart as it appears. The position of the Sun is the same as it was 25.800 years ago and another 25.800 years ago etc. The earth counts millions and millions of years!

Another thing is that the Mayas didn't mean that the earth or our solar system would die. They meant that a new circle of life would start with a new calender, just like 25.800 years ago! Here is the December 21, 2012 chart for Greenwich. Funny, the Ascendant and Midheaven are exactly conjunct mine! That is scary!;o(( but: it happens every day!:)


Jupiter happens to be the protector of earth, so when a finger in a Yod points at Jupiter, I tend not to worry (if I ever did). I don't worry much about proclaimed ends of the world, because I have heard of so many before and we are still here! I remember 1962, when there was supposed to be an atomic bomb attack by the Russians, and the Jehavah's Witnesses (1975, 1904, 2014 etc),Ice Age, the Club of Rome, Pluto conjunct the Galactic Center and now the Mayan calender ending December 21, 2012. (Mine ends December 31 every year!) But let us get back to the topic '2012 chart!.Let us consider that:

1. There has never been a disaster that has been predicted by means of astrology
This includes the Tsunami, September 11, death of Kennedy, start of World Wars etc. Why not? Simply because there is no such thing as the chart of the world since we don't know when exactly at what hour the world was born. A chart is related to time AND place on earth...

2. Yod's are frequent

3. If it is a matter of numbers (21-12 than 2112 would be a better moment:)

4. Saturn and Pluto are in mutual reception and sextile: they interact. It is a dangerous composition, but...there is an inconjunction with Jupiter. Jupiter is a fortunate symbol.

5. How about the Age of Aquarius? Why would the world end with starting that (read the post of Gene Ray about the March 2012, Age of Aquarius)

Every day, somewhere, someone is involved in a tragedy, a disaster. Sometimes it is groupwise, a war, an accident, a flood. We can only try to be carefull and be alert and do the best we can. Why spend energy on a fictious idea, while there are dozens of disasters around us and we don't care? The fear for 2012 seems to be a selfish fear to get hurt or to die. It is the same sort of fear that thrills us when we see a scary movie. It is exciting, non productive and useless, unless you know what to do next. But it is thrilling. It is a bit like astrology. You see something coming up, there is not much you can do except being prepared to do the best you can or simply hold your breath and NOT be afraid too much. Because just like proclaimed disasters and falling asteroids, some transits and progression pass bye without any impact. Why is that? I don't know. Maybe they were only meant to keep you alert and to feel alive or maybe the idea of the brain is to make your blood flow!
