(if u feel like u don't actually identify with aries it's possible that u r placed in the taurean tribe. only u will know 4 sure. taureans, by contrast, have come to investigate the meaning of beauty and intimacy, and must learn how to receive pleasure). so being an arian by ascendant we look to the house position of ur lunar north node to see what kind of training u have selected to undertake. i must say a bit about houses. becuase u were born at a very northern latitiude it means using the normal house system of placidus u have got wildly uneven house sizes: houses 1,6,7,12 are huge and the rest are small and skinny. i don't use this system myself 4 this reason, i use the equal house system which means each house is 30 degrees irrespective of how far north or south u were born. therefore all the house placement calculations astro potrait did 4 u i've edited out, above. (i am also a falsifier of the official record!). using equal houses then i calcualte that ur north node is in the eleventh house of aquarius. so that makes u even more uranian. also because ur sun is on the cusp of the tenth and eleventh houses i would place him in the 11th house too. this becomes slightly complicated because the moon (in the 10th house of capricorn) and sun are conjunct, so in many respects u may feel like u r a blend of capricorn and aquarius or u may feel conflicted because of this: one part of u an idealistic cosmic thinker who operates in the higher chakras, and the other part a very earth bound realist who wants things to be solid and structured. whatever, we can say that ur north node is definitely placed in the 11th house and there is no ambiguity about that: u have come to learn about the aquarian mysteries. for more clues we look at ur venus next. where is she? she's in aries. i've written a fair bit about venus in aries already: i think it's in 'a place for the water signs' thread. anyway, to summarise again, venus in aries means u wish to develop the goddess archetype of the 'amazonian, the wild woman who runs with the wolves' (u might have been a tomboy when u were young). in doing this ur original intention and life purpose will be greatly furthered, so u'd better start swinging from the trees and running barefoot through the welsh valleys, luv. we can tell alot about your intrinsic personality by looking at ur moon and south lunar node. in ur past life u came from the aquarian tribe (moon in aqua) and were their expert in leo mysteries (south node in the fifth). this means u were knowldegable in detachment and gaining a cosmic overview(aqua) while at the same time u would have developed the sense of being special, a princess with a big ego (this 2 is a legitimate pathway to enlightment). often people when they come to their new life behave as if they were still in the last one and that's only natural because what u come in with is what u r. however, it's not what u intend to stay as because there are new roads to know. we look to the moon to see the source of a person's addictions and attachments. if life becomes a struggle to adapt and grow into intended new ways then one will cling to one's moon, so to speak. and often not let go. u r in the unusual position of having been an aquarian master in the past life (by moon) and of undergoing aquarian training again in this life (by north node in the 11th). so u have opted 4 a repeat performance kind of thing. however what's different is that u have changed tribes, so the lessons will be very different although they still remain aquarian lessons, they r aquarian lessons in a different bent. the focus would seem to be on cardinal fire this time: the aries ascendant and the venus in aries. this is reiterated in having jupiter in aries. he shows u what kind of life experiences u need to create in order to fullfill ur life purpose the fastest way. in fact, the fire-air theme is being repeated in this life because last life u were doing leo in aquarius. this time ur doing aquarius in aries. and i wouldn't worry 2 much about creating the right kind of aries experiences because jupiter is sitting right on your ac point, which means he will be evry strong in ur life because he projects as a part of ur inherent personality. whatever u need u will draw 2 urself quite effortlessly because people find jupiter attractive. next, we look at the hard angles (conjunctions, squares and oppositions) to ur moon from the slow planets (saturn, uranuus, neptune and pluto). this gives us clues as to what the strategy will be in attaining life purpose. if u really need to be woken up u may have a lot of hard aspects (like me) or u may have few. u have none. as opposed to someone like me who has 15! this is a double edged sword btw. no hard aspects can make u lazy and complacent because nothing is driving u to get on with it. in fact, in ur chart we can say that venus and mercury bear the burden of all the hard aspects. the venus sqaure to saturn is the one i would mention. this may present to u as a person in authority, maybe a parent, who tries to squash the aries-venus archetype u have selected to work on. they may attempt to invalidate u, but u must resist this and know that however much u r told u r wrong, u r not wrong, they are. there's no need to be haughty about that, just quietly keep on doing what u r doing anyway and u will be supported by the universe. i will wrap it up by saying that i think uranians are born at this time to help in the transition of the ages from pisces to aquarius. when u realise that u r uranian then it's like u are one of the people on the starseed mission who got sucked into dense matter but who's now waking up from their hypnotic state and remembering what it is they came to do. ur sun is located on the cusp between pisces and aquarius, and ur birthday is also significant for uranians as this time of the year, around 10-20 february, when the sun transits this most sensitive part of the sky, karmic events are suddenly accelerated. this is because in the great platonic year (of 26,000 earth years) we are moving from one month (pisces) into the next month (aquarius). this place is represented in our third dimensional reality as that part of the sky situated between the sign of pisces and the sign of aquarius. uranians need to be aware of this and take special measures to protect themselves at this time of the year when the solar transit occurs. for example, on the 18th of feb just passed, i found my flatmate dead on the floor. i had felt 'death' coming the whole week and waited in my room like a dumb rabbit caught in headlights, thinking that i was going to die, or someone close to me would. the day i found my friend was the day the sun transitted my mars (at 28 aqua) and two days be4 it transitted my moon (1 degree pisces) in the 8th house (house of birth-death and reincarnation). so u see what i'm saying. it will be different 4 u, because it transits ur 11th house: the house of aquarius, so how the accelerated karmic events manifest will be different 4 u. i imagine that u feel it 2, maybe even stronger than i do. tell me if u do. bye 4 now jq
Hey James, Wow, thank you! I have to go to work now, but will read it on the way there, and write back later. "sometimes i just know something but have no idea how i know"- Dont worry, i know the feeling! Im not quite sure how i worked out that my moon and merc were in aqua, to be honest. I also have a feeling this will probably the be the most detailed scope ill ever have done by anyone, seeing as i know no-one else whos into astrology. So thanQ muchly! I gotta go, but will reply again later. Love-Maxi.Xx
Hey again, I read your interpretation on the bus, and got some very odd looks(although i usually do anyway) As i was reading something in the back of my mind was telling me that absolutely everything you told me, down the the very last detail, was the truth. Some bits were so true it was frightening!... Firstly, im pretty sure i do have an aries ascendant, and so the bith time must be right. What you said about the aries motif being "to enter the kingdom of heaven you must enter as a small child" was scary, because i have that exact same quote in the "favourite quote" section of my yahoo and msn profiles! Yes, ive always admired small children, and truly believe they know more than we do. I also read somewhere that people with aries rising often have scars on the forehead, and i have several very deep ones. I know absolutely nothing about the technicalities of the house systems, and so im perfectly happy with the way you did it! It all sounds accurate. I dont feel a lot of inner conflict, but when i do its usually a capricorn/aquarius style one. I have a love/hate relationship with the idea of practicality...although i usually conclude that its over-rated and that anything is possible And i was most definitely a tomboy when i was young! Infact i dont feel very feminine even now. I cant wear dresses...i look like a fraud! and most of my friends are men. What you said about my past life was very interesting. I can remember having a very big ego when i was young...i used to always be the leader in my friendship groups and even felt sometimes superior to them!(i hope ive now grown out of this) could this be because i was still living as i had done in my previous life?... Im glad you warned me about the risk of laziness and complacency because of the lack of hard aspects in my chart. I certainly do not want to live my whole life not being any good to the world! I do find that sometimes i procrastinate, i sit philosophising about the meaning of life instead of finishing college assignments, i spend days on end just thinking, and not doing. So i will definitely make a more conscious effort to curb that habit. It was also very reassuring to hear that i will be supported by the universe in the face of disapproval. You said that maybe a parent figure would try to squash the aries-venus archetype. Well my mother is a very respectable scorpio lady, with a very open mind, and we get on great now. Afew years ago, however, i believe she genuinely thought me insane, and we didnt understand eachother at all. I also fell in love with a guy a 2 years ago(in a typical aries-impatient and emotionally involved way), but she didnt like him , and made sure it ended. So yeah, looks like you were right again But now our relationships a lot better, and i hope someone else doesnt jump in and fill in that position of authority again and squash me! What you say about uranians really does sound...somehow familiar. Ive never felt completely human, although a voice inside me has always said that i must try and be human(maybe the cappy?)and get a career and earn money. Although i know im completely different. I cant be part of conversations about anything material for very long like most people can. I get bored and want to ask someone about...well, things like this! But ive learnt not to, because they either laugh or never speak to me again! So im glad there are other people who feel this way out there. I was so sorry to hear about your experience last feb. Its obviously a lot more shocking and major than anything thats ever happened to me at that time, although maybe im too young to have experienced the full impact of this. Things do usually happen around my birthday(my birthdays are never very happy!) but theyre usually things like friendship or relationship breakdowns. I do, however, feel that sense of panic and nervousness, like something is going to happen, and that usually begins at the beginning of the month. Anyway thank you so much for what youve told me Youve made me think a lot about astrology, as well as teaching me a lot about myself, and the reasons for people not always understanding me. Its probably the most useful thing ive ever read on any matters concerning astrology. I also feel it is only right that we all make some effort to have some sort of similar analysis done. What you do is really useful, you could make a career out of it! Thanks again(sorry bout the lengthy reply!) -Maxi.Xx
Uranians.......typical uranian will be quite interested in people, but always in a non emotional, somewhat detached manner. They think in asymetrical ways.......They may appear dressed in an unconventional way. They have visions of humanity and may appear to be quiet old, even young ones. They are not afraid to be a bit odd or different. Some may even be gay, but that is questionable. Personally.........I have my nodal axis(nodes) in Aquarius/Leo, with the North Node in Aquarius. This lifetime for me at least...I seek to incorporate Aquarian, Uranian ways into my current life. My Uranus is in hard aspect to personal planets.....I am a uranian to some extent. I was born Feb. 24th, 1972 12:05 PM. , if anyone want to do a little experimental annalysis. A Uranian would ideally have one or more of the following: Uranus angular, especially conjunct the asc. or mc. Uranus in aspect to personal planets. A full 11th house, or lots of Aquarius planets. Some uranians are scientifically astute, and are often on the vanguards of current technology. We are now entering the age of Aquarius, so all the uranians will have their time in the sun, and may lead the rest to something new and real.
here is a good article about uranians: http://www.astrologyclub.org/articles/singletons/uranus/uranus.htm
one uranian i love is rosaleen norton. short of hero worshipping this woman i also do admire her art. consider that much of it was done 50 and 60 years ago, in something the same genre as austin spare, william blake, and even dali. alas much of this style has been co-opted by the acid-surfie cult who often have no idea of the gods and goddesses such artwork evokes. for the curious, go here for a bio: http://www.thelemicknights.org/ootmc/rosaleen/rosaleen.html or here for some art: http://www.occultartgallery.com/occultartgallery/norton/nortontext.html
im an uranian...or at least i think so, but i dont know how to find out (too lazy to read the rest of this thread). but im a pisces, so i guess i have to be a neptunian (spelling)
I'm definitely one. Apparently I get a lot of energy from Uranus, and I can definitely relate entirely to the description. I've always been the weirdo everywhere I went, thinking differently, dressing and acting differently, and appearing differently (apparently I even look odd).
i'm glad to see there r so many of us kicking round (and prob'ly more who are too shy 2 say so). and i know a few of us anyway who are already doing good work 4 the cause of the greater humanitarian vision that's 2 come. cynicism and fear are our worst enemies at this time... of great moment 4 uranians everywhere: this week has been the aquarian full moon. she came in at 27 degrees aquarius on friday-sat (19th-20th of august) right near that sensitive part in the sky i mentioned earlier (and also 6 months to the day the sun transited here, on 19-20 february). 4 some of us this moon cycle has been v intense: perhaps u 2 had a feeling that things were getting 2 overwhelming. well, let me tell u, they were. but relief is in sight. now the moon is moving towards her last quarter this pressure will subside: it should even disappear quickly. now's the time 2 learn how to brace urself for such future shocks and how 2 remain mindful through the heavy shit. this can be done by allowing urself to feel whatever 'negative feelings' u are feeling: without any judgement and without trying to change it or smother the feeling in something else. just sit with the feeling 4 a moment. it's q possible to actually welcome these negative feelings into ur consciousness. and it's really helpful if u can learn how to do that b/c by welcoming the feelings u r letting them go. how do i do that? by sitting quietly and talking to your mind (which is always open and available for instruction): ask urself three questions: * could i allow this feeling to be here? wait 4 a reply. whatever the reply is - yes or no - ask urself the next q: * would i allow this feeling to be here? wait 4 the reply: yes or no. then ask urself the last q: * when? again wait 4 ur mind to reply: now, or, not now. u can repeat this sequence as many times as u want, or until ur mind is happy to answer yes, yes, now. these three questions will become important 2 u as u continue to awaken from your hypnotic state. by asking them u elicit your mind in the enterprise of awakening yourself. so rather than being an obstruction, ur mind is a cooperative partner. and once u get more practice at asking these three questions u will find that ur mind will want to let go of the negative feelings it's hanging on to. that's its true nature: to go through the experience of life without clinging. when u get the hang of it u can vary the three qs: could/would i welcome this feeling? when? could/would i let go of this feeling? when? or u may want 2 invent ur own questions. btw, this technique is called 'releasing' and was invented by a guy in nyc called lester levenson about 50 years ago. i've been doing it 4 a year or so now and it's been great: esp effective for major depression.
