PROGRESSED CONJUNCTION SUN-JUPITER AND HILLARY CLINTON

It is almost inevitable: Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the USA. Democrats won’t vote for a Republican and many Republicans won’t vote for Donald Trump. The astrological prospects are OK, too, though there might be nasty aspects with Moon, Ascendant or MC that we don’t know of, because her hour of birth remains a secret. This limits the astrologer, but there is still a lot to see in her chart. We know that she is a very ambitious woman and we can see that in the chart. How? See the article here: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2010/10/leader-in-chart-of-hillary-clinton.html

Now I found another interesting key to success in her progressed chart.

In the progressed chart Jupiter rises before the Sun since 1983 and that is a good sign if you want a president who is open, optimistic and with a broad orientation.

In 1983 she got an important function (http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/04/hillary-clinton-2016-arkansas-116939 ) in Arkansas. That was the year that changed her life. The progressed chart shows it.

Instead of Neptune rising before the Sun since the day she was born, the progressed conjunction with Jupiter in 1983 changed her orientation. She used to be idealistic in the first place. Jupiter altered that. Jupiter is the planet of traveling, the international, success and education (the higher level). She also changed her name to Hillary RODHAM Clinton in that year.

PROGRESSED SUN CONJUNCTIONS

Conjunctions of the progressed Sun signal a very important change in the way that you continue. When you were born with Saturn rising before the Sun, your parents are of utmost importance and anything ‘classical’ or ‘official’, too. When later in life your progressed Sun is conjunct Mars (and Mars becomes the first to rise) you will have a different perspective and become more assertive, active and fiery than you were originally. You may look like a different person, from reserved to fiery.

The planet rising before the Sun is the planet of orientation. See the posts about the meaning of your first rising planet: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2014/09/whats-your-orientation-your-chart-shows.html

This planet shows you the way. Often it is Venus (wanting a partner) or Mercury (wanting to be a writer) that is first rising. When it is the Moon you will be interested in children and in your own folks, when it is Jupiter you will be interested in travelling and higher education. If it is Saturn, you will be very ‘classical’ and your parents are important.

Let me show you what happened to me.

MY PROGRESSED CONJUNCTION

The progressed conjunction of Sun and Mercury was in May 1971, marking the period of change due to marriage and changing my name, using my husband’s. There is no other progressed conjunction in my life.

FINDING THE PROGRESSED CONJUNCTION

It is quick and easy: you find the progressed conjunction in the ephemeris, taking one day for a year after birth. In my 21^st day after birth the Sun was conjunct Mercury.

CONJUNCTIONS WITH NATAL PLANETS

When the progressed Sun is conjunct a natal planet, there Is no change in orientation. It marks the start of a new period in life.

Q: how did the conjunction with the planet rising before the sun at birth, change YOUR life.

Bad moment to act: Mars - Saturn and TV intruder

On January 29, 2014 an intruder demanded to be enabled to speak to the public on TV (see BBC for the news). Nothing much happened, except that there was no TV at all for a while and the young man quickly surrendered. He had a fake pistol. What he wanted to tell the public remains unknown.
It seems to have been a chemistry student with complot theories who lately told a friend that he 'wasn't well'. The threats (radio active bombs, hacker attacks) were as fake as his gun.

He had some serious progressions and transits (like everyone born on February 14, 1995*), repeating aspect combinations in the natal chart. The effect of transits and progressions between the same planets/lights are stronger when there is a natal aspect (however small).
I wrote about that effect before (see the post: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2013/08/resonance-of-uranus-pluto-and-jupiter.html )

It is the same in this case.

NATAL
In the natal chart we see Sun opposite Mars and Mars quatronovile Saturn.

PROGRESSED (chart of 1 day=1year)
In the progressed chart we see Sun conjunct Saturn and Sun inconjunct Mars and Mars inconjunct Saturn.

TRANSIT (actual position of Sun, Moon and planets)
Transit Mars was exactly conjunct Saturn

Mars-Saturn combinations signal  action or inactivity based upon duty, age, fear or caution, with different results 

There are two quincunxes in the progressed chart (Mars inconjunct Sun and Saturn) and there is a Mars-Saturn transit. These progressions and transits work harder because there is already such an aspect in the natal chart. What he did could have killed him. But this act definitely stopped his way of life, his study and his career. With Saturn, periods of life end. Inconjunct Mars it might be in an aggressive and unbalanced way.

There is one more repeated aspect. In the natal chart the Sun is inconjunct Chiron. On the day of his appearance on television transit Chiron was conjunct his Progressed Sun and progressed Saturn and inconjunct his Progressed Mars, to make the situation extra painful. 

Last but not least: transit Pholus sextile Sun makes it easy to shoot your own feet at a point of no return.

The lot of quincunxes (4) tell a story of giving up, being out of balance and loss. When there are 3 indications pointing in the same direction, it happens more often that there is an important situation in your life. In this case, it was a situation of decline.
See the article on inconjunctions on my site Astromarkt.

Here are some charts. Click and open in a new window to have a better view.

In this post I don't analyse the positions on the day of birth of this young man. There are keys to the way he acted (Moon Leo for drawing attention, Sun quintile Jupiter for a creative way to make your life more than it is and other indications). 

*) If you were born that day, too, that doesn't mean that you will live a similar life or have the same kind of problems. Genes, gender, situation and circumstances color the chart. It is, however, wise to take extra care, watch out for infections and depression this year.

Don Johnson's chart and life (a Venus-Uranus thing)

On the way to the office I listen to the radio in my car and this week there was an 80s week. That brought me back to Miami Vice. I confess: in the 80s I was a Miami Vice fan, especially because of Don Johnson. Looking back, I can see why (well, who can't:)?). It must have been the combination of the music by Jan Hammer, the fashion, the cars (I love fast cars) and the man…It is also a Venus-Uranus thing.

I didn't 'fancy' movie stars since I was a teenager, so Don Johnson had something special. There is an astrological explanation: his Venus is inconjunct my Uranus. His Venus is also inconjunct the Uranus of many women (and men!) of my age. Venus-Uranus: that is an exciting aspect…! The quincunx points at the exaggeration.

Of course, I was not his only fan, at the time. But there is more in the synastry. Perhaps that is why I even bought his CD. It is:

• His Jupiter is spot on conjunct my Moon. 
• His Ascendant/MC midpoint is conjunct my Jupiter. 

Jupiter always helps to make you a fan.

There is also his Sun conjunct my Chiron. Every person born on December 15 has the Sun on my Chiron. I can heal them all:). You see, I checked the web for the synastry Sun-Chiron and found something about healing and teaching here ( http://www.astroknowlogy.com/questions/sun-conjunct-chiron-in-synastry).

Of course, I never met Don Johnson and our worlds are far apart (geographically and socially). Even if we were neighbors, his Saturn square my Sun could have been standing between us.

Here is his chart with today's transits and progressions.

ACTOR
Don Johnson is an actor. His Sun is in minor aspect with Neptune (a semi sesquiquadrate, 135/2=67.5 for the reader with an eye for calculations). Sun-Neptune aspects are not uncommon in the charts of actors in series. They sometimes take over the habits and attitude of the character they play. See Astromarkt about Sun-Neptune and identity questions (am I who they say that I am?).

The Moon rises before his Sun and is square Venus. There is no closed pattern of talent like in the charts of other actors and artists. His MC in the first degree of Gemini is in minor aspect with both Venus (112.5 d aspect, square + half semi square) and Neptune (wider sesquisquare). So Midheaven is in aspect with Venus and Neptune and via Venus with Moon. Circumstances (the public) are important in the reason why he works in the entertainment industry.
Mercury rules the MC and is in the 5th house of entertainment. The final dispositor of the Midheaven is the prominent Moon. An important Moon helps to keep memories alive and to act.
He has Venus biquintile Uranus, for creative rhythm and for a creative way to be attractive again and again. Maybe that is why he married Melanie Griffith twice.
BTW The chart is AA-rated by Astrodienst. That is because a not named friend said that he looked at the BC. I hope that is correct.

FATHER AND PARTNER
Don Johnson has six children now (watch that Jupiter - symbol of 'a lot' in the 5th house of children!)

He married Melanie Griffith (twice), even though their Venus don't match at all (his in Aquarius, hers in Virgo).
He also had a relationship with Barbra Streisand. They had a Mars square Mars synastry (fire and …fight later) and his Jupiter and Uranus were in hard aspect with her Sun and Pluto. They had an affair in the years that his progressed Sun was in aspect with both Jupiter and Uranus! Barbra Streisand came into his life when sudden windfall and positive changes happened or maybe she was the positive change of his life. However: his Scorpio Moon in hard aspect with her Sun/Moon midpoint shows attraction. But her Saturn opposition his Sun/Moon midpoint could have been the breaking point. Perhaps the age difference (a Saturn issue) did it.

LIFE AND PROGRESSIONS/TRANSITS
Until Miami Vice Don Johnson didn't have much success. But he was good looking in the 80s!  When Miami Vice started on September 28, 1984 there were signs of change.

- his progressed Sun was in the last degree of Capricorn, about to change sign
- transit Pluto had been inconjunct MC (stress, change with a loss or lacking balance)
- progressed Midheaven was about to make a quincunx with natal Jupiter (progress but having to give up on something to achieve it)
- in the progressed chart MC conjoint Uranus (square Ascendant), signaling a significant change in his position in society
- also in the progressed chart there was Pluto semi square MC and AC: a challenging and sometimes difficult change in status and situation.
- Venus was trine Neptune in the progressed chart. There were golden chances for the artist and for romantic affairs.
The inconjunctions or quincunxes seem to mirror the exceptional and unbalancing success. In total the list above includes 5 signs of change.

Those aspects where when the most successful years in his life started. I think that the first aspect in the new (progressed) sign says a lot about the nature of changing life style when the progressed Sun changes sign.

For Don Johnson, the first aspect to make in the new sign was: Progressed Sun conjunct Jupiter and inconjunct Uranus, this within 4 years.

• In 1987 he was named the sexiest man alive. 
• In 1988 he had that relationship with Barbra Streisand and he had a prize in the World Offshore Powerboating Championship. 
• In 1989 he married Melanie again. 

THE YEARS AFTER
But then, in 1992, 8 years after the start of Miami Vice he started drinking again. His attitude during the making of later series seems to have been bad (arrogant behavior: Jupiter inconjunct Ascendant).
In May 2008 he almost lost his house. That was with transit Saturn close to the Ascendant, after Transit Saturn square MC and with Progressed MC inconjunct Sun and Progressed Sun. Also transit Pluto was inconjunct his natal MC and conjunct progressed Moon. It must have been a hard period of stress.

With transit Pholus coming up and the progressed Sun about to change sign again, other changes in the life of Don Johnson show up on the horizon in the next two years. The days of Miami Vice have gone.

NOW
He is 63 now. Progressed Venus is close to conjoin Jupiter and have a party, a wedding or at least: more luxury and fun. Progressed Mercury conjunct Jupiter, not long ago. In December 2012 he was with Jay Lenno. In January he was paid 19 million dollar for his share by Rysher Entertainment for  half of the copyright of Nash Bridges, enough for retirement?

LINK
Let me end this with a link to YouTube where you find a lot about Miami Vice and Don Johnson, starting with the December 5, 2012 appearance at Jay Lenno's show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAt1KDMVRhg

And you know what? That was with his progressed Venus inconjunct his Uranus! He did it again: the women screamed! Venus-Uranus: flash back.

Hugo Chavez died

He was seriously ill. Now, Hugo Chavez died. He was fighting cancer.

In January I wrote about his difficult astrological positions, reflecting the situation: see that post and watch the quincunxes with Neptune, following a hard transit of Saturn (resonating the natal aspect between Sun and Saturn). All this was accompanied by the change of the progressed sun sign that indeed changed his way of life, unfortunately the bad way.

Now he died. There are a number of transits related to the 8th house of life and death, often mirroring a critical moment, and the 4th house of endings. Transit Uranus, ruler of the 8th house and transit in the progressed 8th house, too, makes 4 hard aspects. Two of them are inconjuncts (symbol of losing balance and loss). There is a third inconjunct coming from Neptune.

Here is the list, there may be even more:

- transit Uranus ruler 8th house square natal Ascendant
- transit Uranus ruler 8th house inconjunct progressed Moon
- transit Neptune inconjunct natal IC
- transit Uranus is in the progressed 8th house
- transit Uranus is inconjunct progressed Saturn
- and a sort of lost quatronovile between transit Uranus and Venus, ruler IC

If the time of birth is exact and correct, transit Neptune has just left his 8th house.

In times of trouble, when you are already ill or very weak and old, those kind of aspects are too much. As you may see in
an earlier post of January 2013
the astrological situation was far from hopeful already.

Now 3 quincunxes and 4 hard aspects of ruler 8 clearly warned for a vital crisis.

Update about transit Jupiter (when you are ill)

Above is the painting of Hendri Goltzius (1612). See how Jupiter watches that hip and thigh!:) 

Last time I blogged about transit Jupiter trines. Transit Jupiter was trine Progressed Sun, but inconjunct Progressed Midheaven in the chart of a woman when she underwent surgery for the second time (since something went wrong the first time). She broke her hip when she fell on August 31.

 I wondered about the effect of this Jupiter trine (and hoped for the best). We all expect fortune with Jupiter trines, but sometimes people just die during such a transit. Maybe sometimes that is when the surgery was a success, but not for the patient.

Luckily, this Jupiter and this trine helped her. There is no pain anymore! And the medical team expects her to recover and start walking again, but ... (With an inconjunct/quincunx there is always a but... ) It will take longer to be able to walk again. The new pin and screw are in a lower place where it takes longer to heel.

Progressed chart, art and career (re Dali)

In my blog Art & Astrology I mentioned the chart of Salvador Dali. His chart is an example of the influencial progressed chart. The progressed chart is the chart for the xth day after birth, valid for the xth year after birth. The progressed chart tells us about the course of life, how we change, develop and get chances (or not). The birth chart gives the tools and the progressed chart shows the way. The progressed chart of Salvador Dali had Mercury conjunct Venus when the progressed Sun changed sign in 1929. His life changed when somebody came to teach him how to draw!

The chart of Salvador Dali made me think about finding the best profession for a person at a certain age. Because people develope and change and some of us change late. Maybe too late to make a fresh new start, but sometimes the change was more gradual and only adding experience or a new style. Salvador Dali was thought how to draw and he had basic talents. He had the right stimulating teacher, he was encouraged into the right direction and trained to get skilled. And later he went to the right place to be part of the 'scene'.

In the earlier post about Obama's progressed chart you can see how his chart in progression shows the statesman that is not that obvious in the natal chart. In fact, you can WATCH Obama grow into the position of President each day. On the other hand, some potential that originaly existed at birth might have vanished through the years, of course.

People grow, people get educated and change and at a certain point in life they are READY and fit for the job they were ment for. Salvador Dali's initial artistic talents were illustrated by Venus end dispositor of the Midheaven in Taurus, sextile Neptune and that was all. But when a friend of his father started educating him and teaching him to draw, in his progressed chart Mercury and Venus had come together for 'art classes' and his progressed Sun sign changed. So did his life!

When he went to Paris in 1929 his progressed MC changed sign to Taurus!

So again, the progressed chart is of importance and gives information about a person's goals and interests as they were influenced by others and by circumstances AFTER birth. Maybe your initial chart (the birth chart) is not enough to be what you wanted to be, but maybe your progressed chart adds just what you need. Be on the lookout for it!

Amelia Earhart's chart

They think that they found the crashed plane of Amelia Earhart. This happens, now that the progressed Sun of her chart is conjunct Uranus (symbol of news) and she is in the newspapers again. On the day that she vanished there were a few exact transits that I would like to show you:

- Transit Saturn was conjunct Progressed Mars shortly after the last radio contact (dead end)
- Progressed Midheaven received an inconjunct coming from transit Pluto (a challenging position with a loss involved)
- Progressed Ascendant was conjunct natal Neptune (misty circumstances; situation unclear)
It happened in the year that her Progressed Sun had joined Jupiter, the symbol of success. Jupiter is also the ruler of Sagittarius on the cusp of the 8th house of life and death. Her job was rather dangerous.

PS Isn't it amazing that her Sun doesn't make major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees and that she is being mentioned as ' a natural leader'? This 'calling' Sun urges you to draw attention, somehow, anyhow, at any possible level, as a star or a leader. Amelia Earhart managed to be both...

Saturn conjunct Saturn: sorry, it's memento mori

Saturn returns remind you of your age and responsibilities. Everybody 'ages' at about age 30 and at about age 60 and 90 when Transit Saturn hits your natal Saturn. But what happens when your Progressed Saturn is retrograding and gets back to the natal starting point (a progressed Saturn return)? Progressed Saturn returns are rare and are rarely discussed. I wrote about it a few months ago, when I approached my progressed Saturn return (see that post: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2011/01/progressed-saturn-return-p-saturn.html ). It is Saturn time for me now! And I know it. In my situation it is obvious: it is about the responsibility of organizing care and taking care of my mother.

In the building where she lives is an institution for the elderly, too. Yesterday I was in the elevator with an old shrieking lady who apparently didn't make it to the toilet and who didn't know where she was or went until I asked her: 'Where do you live' and she said: 'The third floor'.  It is depressing (and I really wonder how the people who work there are able to deal with the astonishing picture of what might happen to all of us one day). I hope that I die before I get THAT old or that it will get that bad for my mother. One generation...There is so little time left. That is the pressure (or say: the kick in the ass) that is being reflected by transits of Saturn. It litteraly makes me feel sick.

Saturn conjunct Saturn is a memento mori, reminding you not to waste time. 

Saturn is for depressing things and the Moon is for the mood. Saturn is for parents or parenthood and the Moon is for care.

I am happy to see Venus on my IC today (that is when I'll have my hair done and I intend to buy a new perfume - maybe Sun, Moon and Stars:), starting a few days off. But I won't be off for long. Saturn on Saturn is double duties! Or at least: it feels that way. Now I wonder: am I wasting time?

LINKS
All about getting old and aging on this blog http://astropost.blogspot.nl/search/label/old
Progressed Saturn is exactly conjunct my natal Saturn today, while progressed Moon is square my natal Moon. You know about my Moon trine Saturn (feelings of responsibility and duty) and my family's Moon-Saturn (see the Moon-Saturn post)? Perhaps that is why these progressions join to hit me harder than other persons' progressed Saturns do?

BTW When transit Saturn is back to square my Mars, transit Saturn will be on my mother's Midheaven (after begin square her Sun, again). That makes me think that there is more to come... and more to be done.

Progressed charts

Last year January was the month of progressions on this blog. One of the posts was about changing progressed signs. In short, when the Sun sign changes in progression, life style changes. When Mercury changes sign, interest changes. When Venus changes sign preferences change. A progressed Mars changing sign could change the field of action and style of using energies. The changing sign of planets. Ascendant, Midheaven and Sun alters the way that you express the energies of the objects and corner stones in the chart. Have a look once and a while ar your progressed chart to see how the picture changed. Barack Obama's chart changed in progression so that the progressed chart mirrors the man in charge more than the natal chart does. We grow and change. More later...

Julie & Julia, synastry and Julie Powell's 2009

Julie & Julia is a nice feel good movie (release August 7, 2009) based on real events. Julie Powell had a great idea. She cooked all the recipes of famous chef Julia Child in one year (starting August of 2002) and blogged about it. That is what the movie is about. Two things caught my attention: the fact that Julia Child was dismissive about the blog - and Julie-. And the fact that the blogging community 'turned against' Julie Powell in 2009 (after the movie). 

Julie's life changed in the period that her progressed Sun sign was changing. Transit Pluto was trine her natal Sun (intense living) when the movie was released and that was soon followed by Sun opposition Neptune in the progressed chart. That is a statement for negative press, being seen in a negative light, gossip and media attention (especially when you are famous). That explains the anti-Julie bloggers. But what explains the negative reaction of Julia in 2002? A quick look at the synastry of Julie and Julia learned that Julie's Saturn is square Julia's Mars, exactly. And that happens to be the most tricky synastry aspect of all (and I know it!). See the blog about it...

http://astropost.blogspot.com/2011/01/mars-and-saturn-in-synastry.html

Quote:

When the Saturn of one person is in hard aspect with the Mars of the other person it is hard not to become enemies. It is a confronting, painfull and sometimes even deadly synastry. Enemies often have this Mars-Saturn combination in synastry. 

Here is the chart of Julia Child with the transits of the day of birth of Julie Powell. There is no hour of birth, but one thing is certain: Mars is trine Saturn in her chart. In the chart of Julia Child Mars is in minor aspect with Saturn (105d). They share discipline (and being disciplined). And the disciplinary act of Child hit Julie (who admired the chef).

PS When the blog turned into a book Julie Powell's Progressed Sun was conjunct Mercury: she became a real writer!

When your (progressed) chart met your partner's...

When you met your partner, did your progressed charts connect with each other or with the partner's natal chart? It is often so. When I met my husband, his progressed Saturn*) was exactly conjunct my natal Descendant (and that is how we got stuck together:). Also, my progressed Mars was trine his natal Sun. There is a time for everything, and maybe there is a time for meeting each other, too...

This month March the interaction between two charts will be in the spotlights here. And just like in a love story I start with 'meeting each other'. 

" People meet or get to know each other at the moment that they share the same kind of situation or period in their life. Both partners are at the same time searching for hapiness or are sharing a good or bad moment and that 'connects' them. At least, you would think so when you see their progressed charts! The moment of meeting a person seems to be connected to the moment that your were born. That is what the astrology of meeting is about: to see the right time for loving."  

 I wrote that on Astromarkt, in: The Astrology of Meeting People and of course you find examples there, about all kinds of relationships and meetings.

Here is another one about love: the meeting of King Harald of Norway and his wife Sonja.

When King Harald V met his wife Sonja, his progressed Sun was conjunct Saturn, ruler 7. Her progressed Venus was inconjunct his Mars. His progressed Mars was trine his progressed Sun and Saturn and his progressed Venus was square her progressed Sun. A rather complicated picture, but it shows controlled passion and a period of strong love.

http://astrology-love-romance.blogspot.com/2009/05/famous-couple-harald-v-and-sonja-of.html

Of course, in order to meet somebody, you must be prepared to meet somebody, or you just don't notice the man or woman. And vice versa! It hurts when you fall in love and the other doesn't.  Take for example the first time that Prince Charles and Camilla met and he didn't notice her. Quote:

In June 1971, during a polo match, Camilla and Charles met for the first time. She had progressed Venus conjunct natal Saturn and semi square progressed Uranus. He had no special progressions at all. Her progressed ascendant is at the time of the meeting exactly sesqui square his progressed Jupiter. This all means that she had a bad period for love and was limited in her choices, but that she had met a chance for being happy (Jupiter), too soon (sesquisquare).

Sometimes, people meet without starting a relationship, yet. A semi square with Venus describes a senseless love. Bernadette Brady refers to semi squares as a 'frustrating not'. Sesquisquares with Jupiter however are supposed to bring advantages in a later stade!

Apparently Charles and Camlla had to marry someone else, first. It is not only for the sort of aspectation that love was not answered at the time. Saturn and Uranus together refer to limitations of freedom and independency. Venus with Uranus often points at falling in love. Saturn is the planet of responsibilities, status and 'timing'. Shall we see this as 'untimy falling-in-love'?

And, if that is so, was all this 'ment to be' or just coincidence?

Sun-Neptune, Bernhard Frank and Mark Gould

The very very old Bernhard Frank has been ' exposed' by Mark Gould, member of a Jewish family that suffered under the Nazi regime. Gould interviewed Frank, pretending to be a Neo-Nazi, and he managed to get vital information about Frank's role in the holocaust. Gould says that Frank signed the first ever order to kill Jews (that it was his idea). In the video I hear Frank say that he signed a confirmation of an order by Himmler, however? It is very unclear and you know what is the symbol of mystery and of the media? It is Neptune! Sun-Neptune in the progressed and natal chart accompany this story. With the progressed Sun in aspect with Neptune it is heard to be seen or to see clearly. This is taken from Astromarkt:

PROGRESSED SUN-NEPTUNE 

Your illusions will be in the spotlights and so are your secrets. If you have Sun-Neptune in your natal chart, this moment in time might shed a light over the other side of you, the private life or the secret life (an affair, your nick name). 

When the progressed Sun is in a hard aspect with Neptune, you may experience a period of isolation (and inspiration, if you are an artist) or you may ‘get lost’, ‘disappear’ (in the eyes of the public) or experience gossip and slaunder. Most of the time the person involved was mistaken, hiding something vital or debilitated and and easy victim. 

The more harmonious aspects of Sun and Neptune make it easy for you to dream on or relax. Don’t expect this to be a fortunate aspect, always. Sometimes this aspect releases you from your identity as an individual and turns you into ‘one of the guys’, like in prison or you may have enough time available for fantasies and dreaming because you no longer have a job. Progressed Sun trine or sextile Neptune only makes it easy to hide away from reality, society or life as it it. When you are an author or an actor, this aspect helps you to empathize with the characters in your book or play. And sometimes with this aspect romance really comes into your life and if you are lucky, it won’t go away again. 

A hard progressed aspect tells you that your dreams are not easily to be realized. A soft progressed aspect makes your dreams come true, but you have to be careful what you dream about. Because somewhere in the closet might be a hidden nightmare. That is in particular true when the aspect is an inconjunction. That aspect often refers to health problems. Health problems take you out of society and into isolation and they reveal a weakness. 

http://www.astromarkt.net/index.php?id=102

In the period of his 'friendship' with Mark Gould the progressed Sun of Frank was square Neptune and that seems a perfect description of the aspect: being seen in a negative light, a double-life, a masquerade, fraud and mist around you...etc. Gossip and bad press accompany this aspect…With Sun conjunct Neptune in the natal chart, the effect of the progression was stronger than strong...

On Astromarkt you may also read that 50% of the very old persons had a Sun-Neptune-aspect in the natal chart (see links below). There is no hour of birth, so the chart shows only part of the picture. BTW, Jupiter/Uranus is opposition his natal Sun. This 'helicopter view'  combination is found in the charts of astronauts, astrologers, modern popes and winners of the lotery. I also found it with some frequence in the charts of those who become very old.

MORE NATAL CHART

Bernhard Frank's natal chart has Pluto rising before the Sun and 'calling' (without major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees). Pluto is novile Mars (rejoycing to push one's physical resources to their limits and affect others with one's dedication; see http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/201926.html

and I think it is also rejoycing the use of influence, power and force).

When Pluto rises before the Sun there is a strong orientation on strategies (politics, knowing the right kind of people - I learned that one from Noel Tyl). Frank knew 'the right guy': Himmler loved him, he says in one of the interviews.

A very tight aspect in his chart is Sun square Orcus (the symbol of the oath). He also has 2 biquintiles:

- Mercury - Jupiter (creative exaggeration of facts; lots of words- he is an author)

- Uranus -Pluto: the revolutionary aspect combination of Sun-Uranus-Pluto is often involved with arrests and other dramatic changes.

(- Sun half semi square (22.5 d) Pluto)

Frank is well known for the arrest of Goering on April 25, 1945, but the SS (and he) didn't follow the next order of Hitler: to execute him. His progressed Sun was square progressed Ceres in that final year of the Second World War.

When he confirmed the order given by Himmler (to prosecute the Jews) his Progressed Sun was square Pholus. That is a life turning point...(July 28, 1941) with the risk of shooting your own foot. Now progressed Pholus is trine natal Sun and that makes it easy shoot your feet again. It is the sign of another turning point in life.

NOW

Now that I write this transit Quaoar is inconjunct the natal Sun and trine natal Orcus, effecting the Sun-Orcus square in the natal chart, giving an unbalancing new perspective to broaken oaths and promises. Here is the chart:

chart without hour of birth!

Rule of 3 (indications in transits and progressions)

This month it is the month of the transits here. Last month it was the month of the Progressions. People often ask questions about one single transit or progressions. They should better have a look at the larger picture. 

There is a 'rule of 3' . 

The Rule of Three means that it takes ' three to tango'. Usually the rule of 3 is used to mention nice events. The happy event doesn't need more than 3. But, when there are three or more serious indications for trouble, there probably will be serious trouble. Frida Kahlo had far more than 3 indications for bad times when she had the accident that crippled her and Laura Bush caused a lethal accident that changed her forever with more than 3 indications (see Progressions and life changing accidents).

When there are at least three indications for joy, you might expect joy. When there is clear and present danger for violation, there are also at least 3 indications and probably more. There is a recent nasty example. And a happy one. Let us start with the happy one. Continue for the examples...

Progressed chart post and more about P Sun inconjunct Saturn

January 2011 was progressed chart month on Astropost.blogspot.com. The progressed chart is the chart of the next minutes, hours and days after birth, valid for the next days, months and years after birth, simply said: according to the principle that what you see in one day (earth moves around the axis) is the ‘prognosis’ of what you see in one year (earth moves around the sun). The transits and the very important circumstances, genes, gender etc. may change the course of events, but generally the progressions offer insight in the to be expected development of one’s character and personality. Here is a list op all 16 posts about progressions on Astropost.blogspot.com as published in January. I also added a link to the post about Sun inconjunct Saturn, because of the text about progressed Sun inconjunct Saturn and because of an addition (another example of this progressed aspect) and  I wish to start  with that.

PROGRESSED SUN INCONJUNCT SATURN

http://astropost.blogspot.com/2010/02/sun-inconjunct-saturn-like-gordon-brown.html

I mentioned several examples of transits of Saturn with progressed Sun and sportsman Franck Vandenbroucke (1074.11.06) who died in the year after P Sun inconjunct P Saturn. 

And I can add another example of this difficult progression. Someone has been arrested. He is the main subject in the case of the murder of Joanna Yeates (see the Telegraph). In his progressed chart the Sun is inconjunct Saturn (see the green dots between Sun and Saturn).

Continue for the list of posts about the progressed chart, progressions, progressed Moon and more that was published this January, the progressed chart month of Astropost.

INTERPRETING PROGESSED MOON ASPECTS

The progressed (or secondairy) Moon is the position of the Moon on the xth day after birth for the xth year after birth. You need to know your hour of birth in order to calculate the Moon or the progressed Moon! The moon moves through the signs in about 28 months and makes aspect with the progressed and natal birth positions. Here are some ideas about how to interprete the aspects of the progressed Moon. Please keep in mind that the progressed Moon tells us more about how we feel,than about actual measurable effects. With a Progressed Moon conjunct Saturn you might just worry to much or be down, not for a particular reason. If there would be any reason, you could tell that from the other progressions and transits. It takes 3 or more indications for major events.

Progressed Moon through the houses

The progressed Moon has her own place in the progressed chart, but seems to move through the houses of the natal chart (the chart of birth). The progressed Moon is the position of the Moon on the xth day after birth, valid for the xth year after birth. Nothing moves faster than the progressed Moon. She is the symbol of experiences, events and emotions passing bye. Her aspects and sign and the movement through the chart shows us what we care about now. Here are some ideas about interpreting the progressed Moon in the houses of the birth chart. You can find the position of your progressed Moon on astro.com (but you need to know what time you were born!).

Progressed Moonsigns and body care

The progressed chart is the chart for the xth day after birth, valid for the xth year after birth. This month January 2010 Astropost.blogspot.com is dedicated to the progressed chart! And this week is about the progressed Moon, the progressed Moonsign, the aspects of the progressed Moon and more...Use the label 'progression' to see more about progressons. For more about the natal (birth) moon in sign, just search this blog (tool on the left) for your sign. You can calculate the progressed Moon on Astro.com, but you need to know your hour of birth!

Today is about the changing sign of the progressed Moon. When the progressed Moon changes sign, you might feel your ‘mood’ changing and some parts of your body need more care than before. Don't take it too seriously, however...:) It is ancient stuff. My grandfather used to carry a guide with him, using the info in the kitchen and in the garden. His diet was according the names of the days of the week (Monday for Moon and white food, Wednesday for Mercury and yellow food, etc. ). He believed that on the days that the actual moon is in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces), plants -and people!- like to have water more than on other  days and that it was better to start a diet on the first day of Full Moon. 

Progressed Moon to Aries

Time to take care for your eyes, hair and brains and to avoid chemical treatments (like dying hair). You react stronger now. Avoid watching screens (like tele and computerscreens) or your eyes will hurt. Maybe it is time for a change of diet and time to have more red coloured food (like tomatoes, strawberries and meat or red wine) for the next two years. 

(I have Progressed Moon in the 14^th of Aries now and I really have a problem with screens and glasses right now, in spite of ‘computer glasses’.).

Progressed Moon to Taurus

Mouth, throat and jaws are more sensitive now. Don’t shout. Maybe you should eat more green food and vegetables. 

Progressed Moon to Gemini

Time for a fresh walk outside, moving your arms (but take care not to catch a cold). Have more yellow food (except for the fat), like corn and lemon juice. 

Progressed Moon to Cancer

Don’t overeat yourself or harm your stomack and eat white or neutral coloured food. Or have some lobster.

Progressed Moon to Leo

Don’t work to hard and safe your back! Eat sunny food like oranges, eggs and carrots more. And if you have to train anything, try not to become a party animal or you have to do a diet with Moon in Virgo...

Progressed Moon to Virgo

The best things to do now: having a bath, listening to good music and sigh a bit. That is all. Eat pure and sober, have cheese instead of meat and keep cool.

Progressed Moon to Libra

Have a lot of herbal and green tea or water to take care of your kidneys. Vegetables are OK! Perhaps you might do some training to keep your balance.

Progressed Moon to Scorpio

The good thing about this move is that alcohol is OK now (except for AA-members, of course). Sex is better than ever, too. You can eat about anything now, but you might like spicy food more...On the other side it seems that there is a risk of moulds and that you need to take better care of the excretory and sex organs. .

Progressed Moon to Sagittarius

Mind your sciatica (the nerve from hip to foot) and avoid stairs and alcohol now. You like to travel more than usual. If you don't have money to travel, try to have foreign food. However, avoid exuberance or you will have hard times with Moon in Capricorn. Sagittarius needs fresh air, so why not have more picknicks and barbecues on a sunny day?

Progressed Moon to Capricorn

Your bones and knees need to be taken care of, so don’t ‘jog’ and swim instead. If your knees hurt because you gained weight with Moon in Sagittarius, now is the time to learn how to control yourself. Less is more! Dark food and wearing onyx will help you on the way.

Progressed Moon to Aquarius

High heals are bad for you now! And watch your ankles or train them carefully. You are 'in' for experiments now, so this is the perfect period to try new recipes and combinations. 

Progressed Moon to Pisces

When your P Moon moves to Pisces the pedicure is happy! (I started making appointments with a pedicure with P Moon in Pisces) Please take in mind that the effect of medication, alcohol and drugs is much stronger with Moon in Pisces. Eat more fish with Moon in Pisces!
