Jupiter Opposes Saturn

Jupiter rules all things expansive, positive, largess. Saturn rules all things negative, restricted, controlled, and focused.

Oppositions reflect different ends of a spectrum in conflict, awareness, polarized. When a sign is splayed into its component parts it appears as two distinct ideas each demanding attention. In the psyche of an individual these polarities, or signs, become an issue that needs to be re-integrated as one concept, as one idea. The archetype requires resolution in the Mode in which it manifests.

Jupiter and Saturn in opposition (180 degrees of separation) reflect the concepts outlined above (Expansion and Contraction, or broad view and narrow view) in awareness conflict and tension requiring some sort of resolution. Obstacles stand in the way of expansion and ease. There is a conflict between beliefs in worth, and beliefs in fear, between optimism and pessimism. This is what will be felt if this resolution is not developed in the identity in question. In Mundane matters, this opposition is the “Full Moon” so to speak of the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction which occurred in 2000 in Taurus (money and material). There are 3 manifestations typically of most major aspect developments; this current opposition is listed below:

P1 (H) Asp P2 (H) EXL Type Date Time Zone Age Pos1 Pos2
Jup (1) Opp Sat (7) (X) Tr-Tr May 23 2010 01:36:26 am EDT -0.218 27°Pi52' D 27°Vi52' R
Jup (1) Opp Sat (7) (X) Tr-Tr Aug 16 2010 04:44:43 pm EDT 0.016 02°Ar26' R 02°Li26' D

Jup (1) Opp Sat (7) (X) Tr-Tr Mar 28 2011 05:54:53 pm EDT 0.629 14°Ar21' D 14°Li21' R

Now, because the conjunction of 2000 was in square to Uranus in Aquarius, I predicted that there would be social and economic de-structurizing world-wide. As we have seen, when the first Saturn Uranus oppositions came into force and Pluto entered Capricorn (business and monetary strategy) the destruction began in earnest and real estate bubbles collapsed the economy, which has de-structurized societal networks. Pluto’s entrance into Capricorn also heralded the beginning effects of global ecological destruction as well. Insecurity is an effect of Jupiter/Saturn oppositions, and hence many have had difficulty believing in their own prosperity during the last 3 years, and the ecological destruction has added to the deficit of reinforcement or Jupiterian expanse.

On August 16th the second of 3 oppositions between these two giants occurs, and this particular opposition is the closest to the Cardinal T-Square we are going to get indicating the potential to be the most conflictive in the manner outlined above. There is no “Cardinal Cross” that modern astrologers have touted, only when faster planets move into the T-square which then triggers primarily the T-square. This particular opposition will see the greatest tension with Pluto, and therefore the greatest potential of destruction in both ecologic and economic terms. In the personal chart, much depends on how evolved the identity is with these archetypes in their own consciousness as to what sorts of ease or difficulty is experienced—along with the aspects in the natal which reinforce or deny its power.

If you have planets at 28 Mutable to 5 Cardinal this opposition will trigger them. Remember that Saturn is the “cure” for excessive Jupiter, and Jupiter the cure for excessive Saturnian fear and restriction. This aspect is asking you to MOVE out of your rut and into new and more energized action that finds a midpoint of reasonable use of resources. It is only because of extravagance or waste that difficulty with this aspect will illuminate. If you are conscious of “waste not want not” and are a person (or society) that does not need too much to be better in any way, (I.e., thought, action, money, food etc.) and are secure with sufficient, then you have little to fear from this aspect.

Mars Conjoins Saturn

Every two years or so Mars and Saturn complete a developmental cycle. Mars, which is the natural ruler of Aries, represents the archetype of self identification and self definition from beliefs (conscious and unconscious). Mars reflects how we define ourselves and our "persona" (mask or false face) as we assert spontaneously and with desire that which we have chosen to be in this life.

The next conjunction will be July 31, 2010 @ 0Libra49 (Sabian Symbol: A Butterfly made perfect by a dart through it). This next conjunction will be especially powerful for the US as it occurs opposing Uranus at 0 Aries, making a Grand Cross with the US Venus and Jupiter, Transit Pluto, Jupiter and the Moon.

A WARNING: USE DUE CAUTION DURING THIS TIME FRAME. Poor judgment rules, accidents and conflict are possible, security and status disrupted. Failed security measures bring possible tragedy. Business and economic security may be disrupted. The continued de-structurizing of business and commerce is assured.

These warnings are doubled if this aspect network falls on any critical aspect network in your own natal chart (especially developmental or "hard" aspect networks, or if Mars is prominent).

Saturn is the archetypal symbol of the limits of physicality. It rules Capricorn, the physical manifestation of belief on "Earth" in the physical world: The structured and fear oriented belief that our reality is outside of us and "impinges" or bombards us from outside.

When these two planets conjoin there is an extreme focus on the application of the ego self (Mars) in physical reality (Saturn). The sign and house in which this occurs reflects what sorts of "issues" in physicality the persona will attempt to "impinge" itself upon and apply itself to in a very focused and strategic way. It also reflects where there may be a "surfacing" of the fears about physicality and how they affect the individual. There may also be the experiencing of the beliefs and fears of being "thwarted" in that area of life, and hence, application then becomes focused and measured. Men, males, aggression and relationships will be in high focus.

The last conjunction was at 5 Virgo 26 (July 10, 2008). If you review these points in your own chart-both solar and natal, you will find that this is where your primary focus of self application has been during that 2 year or so time frame. If you are better off in this area, then you have learned the strategic application and application of yourself in that area to your benefit.

When Mars and Saturn are in opening or closing square to each other, these two planets will be challenging the individual's beliefs in the validity of the self and its ability to act. There may be overwhelming obstacles (if the person is of a negative view, please review my articles on positive/negative energy) or will experience temporary setbacks or challenges to "step up" application of self to overcome the apparent "blocks" or challenges in the physical world.

When Mars and Saturn are in opposition it will seem as if strategy (Saturn) and a methodological application of the self itself may be dangerous to the furtherance of the self and its goals at that time, or that the persona is the limiting factor. Then the effect will be a conflict between aggressive assertion (Aries/Mars) and not enough assertion or that caution may be the best move. Either way there will be opportunity presented for the ego gain a higher sense of trust and to learn greater implementation of strategy as the reflection of trust and conviction with the self's preferences.

The ability to trust during times of difficult endeavor reveal the person's overall "threshold of believability" that reflects by the willingness to continue and to follow through, exactly the strength of trust the person has in the endeavor and application it seeks to manifest. If the identity believes itself the "true" path it desires to be, then continued effort in the direction of preference will allow it to learn what it needs to learn strategically to manifest that preference (high threshold of believability). If the "external" appears too threatening and obstacle ridden there may be an accumulation of self doubt and persecution complexes that diminish the trust of the self that it is the path it prefers to be--or that that path is realistically obtainable (low threshold of believability).

So it is fear that dominates when in this focused application of the self we believe is "all" we are, goes unchecked without the positive recognition of the unlimited spirit that the self truly is (Jupiter/Neptune). Life can seem threatening, overwhelming and not reinforcing to--or nurturing and supportive of--us and our preferences to be what we wish, effortlessly. If during the last conjunction until now much has been accomplished with regard to its position at conjunction, be assured that you have integrated and fulfilled the developmental process associated with this cycle.

However, when the element of recognition that we create our reality as the product of our belief and definitions is injected into the equation, we allow ourselves to real-ize that the self we are or believe ourselves to be in physicality is not "really" all we are. We are not on a path we are a path (Bashar). The "All That Is" created the idea that we are for a reason and no creator would be so cruel as to create a creation and then not allow or intend that that creation be able to fulfill the idea that it intended itself to be to the fullest.

Sometimes the only "strategy" we are allowed to create is that recognition and that everything must be unfolding as it needs to, to lead us to that fulfilled expression. When this occurs, acknowledging that everything is happening as it needs to to get us to where we need to be to express that preference must be trusted. Everything fits, nothing is out of line. The conviction action of that recognition is the continued application of the self and trust that whatever needs to be there to "educate" the physical self for the preference and task it has chosen--will be there--regardless of the strategic and limited ego's "need to know every little detail" to make sure it will or have to know how it will. Mistakes are incorporated and learned, and judgments of the self for being “wrong” are minimalized, as they serve no real useful purpose.

Doubt is the true opposite of love - self love (doubt) included.

As always, thank you for allowing me to share these ideas. If they serve you use them, if they do not, ignore them. They are simply suggestions and offerings and no one is asked to believe they are the only or "true" answers simply because I have asserted them.

Asteroids and The Modern Astrologers

When I began studying astrology 40 years ago, I remember working very hard to learn to associate the rulers of signs (planets and luminaries)

with their proper zodiacal sign and house. This became a critical element in astrological delineation and the steps which were soon to become my sequence of delineation.

As astrology evolved over the years and computer programs became available for calculation it became easier and easier to construct the chart (which we used to do by hand without a calculator) and less time was consumed on that aspect of astrology. That aspect of astrology is very important. Today's astrologers not having to do laborious calculations depreciates the ability to absorb the chart and it's energies as we move through the various positioning of planets etc.. Even the drawing of astrological symbols and planets into the house positions adds to ones appreciation and understanding of the chart at hand.

Today, we see fractions of a seconds of shots for commercials, movie sets, and also in the time it takes to calculate the chart and find delineations, or references to what we produce or want to know.

Astrology is an art/science. Like a painter we build upon a background or base and bring forth our painting into the foreground methodically, patiently, carefully. The art aspect is in part, the actual drawing of the horoscope and its elements. When we blend the significators and aspects to form a concept of the consciousness under evaluation, the disposition of planets slowly and methodically enhances our evolving understanding of the chart at hand. When we understand the law of momentum flow of the chart in question, we can then add the asteroids we see may be significant that support the delineation to be had through proper analysis.

If we were cooking a meal and sprinkled oregano in a pan and said "this _______ will be great, because oregano is in the pan" before we even  knew what the meal was going to be or consist of, we would be seen as not only nuts, but an incompetent cook at best seriously placing the cart before the horse to put it mildly.  

But evidently astrologers who read a few books  and blogs on asteroids and astrology don't believe such things, because they think the oregano (asteroid) itself tells them what the issues are in the chart just by its position alone! Trust a 40 years of experience astrologer who has delineated thousands and thousands of charts. It can't be done. Post-dicting that something occurred because such and such an asteroid was rising or conjunct something at the time only confirms those with critical thinking or scientific minds that astrology is bunk.

"On the first day of January 1801, Giuseppe Piazzi discovered an object which he first thought was a new comet. But after its orbit was better determined it was clear that it was not a comet but more like a small planet. Piazzi named it Ceres, after the Sicilian goddess of grain. Three other small bodies were discovered in the next few years (Pallas, Vesta, and Juno). By the end of the 19th century there were several hundred.

Several hundred thousand asteroids have been discovered and given provisional designations so far. Thousands more are discovered each year. There are undoubtedly hundreds of thousands more that are too small to be seen from the Earth. There are 26 known asteroids larger than 200 km in diameter. Our census of the largest ones is now fairly complete: we probably know 99% of the asteroids larger than 100 km in diameter. Of those in the 10 to 100 km range we have cataloged about half. But we know very few of the smaller ones; there are probably considerably more than a million asteroids in the 1 km range.

The total mass of all the asteroids is less than that of the Moon. " http://www.nineplanets.org/asteroids.html

Modern astrology, although reformatted with modern psychological principles, is basically a refined reproduction of ancient astrological practice developed over 7000 years of observation and application. There is nothing and no reformatting of serious sequential astrological delineation procedure that will ever be replaced with a concocted "archetype" of a small and insignificant piece of oregano disguised as an experienced chef's meal really only meant to add spice, nuance, and hints of flavor to a main course properly prepared.

How Many Known Asteroids Are There?

Edmond Wollmann Lux et Veritas

Well, here we are in May of 2010. I have been on the Internet since 1994 with a continued presence. Time to bring quite a bit of work into phase 2.

The New Astrology © 2010 5th edition Altair Publications SAN 299-5603

Original draft: March 87

2nd edition October 94

3rd edition May 97

4th edition September 2002

When I began studying astrology in 1971 I was skeptical and going to disprove it. However, any honest person who attempts this must become aware of the corroboration between astrological symbolism and the knowledge of self. Hence, the more I studied, the more mechanistically obvious it became that there was something there. Of course some of this acknowledgement was my own knowledge of self.

The "what" that allows astrology to work of course is the argument for invalidity of cynical minds with no experience of operational obviousness that astrology reveals when practiced properly. This "what" is still in the realm of the immeasurable (empirically). But there are many practices--even in academia--that are known to work and be valid, that no objective measurement can determine the "how" of.

As I learned astrology and psychology, I could see that my life often unfolded with reason that I could not foresee, and that apparently unconnected events and issues, were indeed connected. I began to feel that perhaps there were some serious reasons behind existence that could be readily observable. There must be a reason, I believed, for my own and others life experiences and needs being so different. However, this perspective raised more questions than it answered. If I had certain needs or characteristics as indicated by the horoscope, was I fated to experience only these? How do I change it? What is the source of the "cause" of the horoscope? Where is the equalizer that balances the experiential fact that some individuals never even hear about a religion let alone have this one life to "redeem" themselves (guilt control and manipulation through emotive appeals). Why does one chart have numerous "negative" aspects and another numerous "positive"? ...Or both? The chart exists AT birth, implying something "brought in."

Learning about reincarnation satisfied many of these questions. The differing experiences were due to actions I had taken in previous lives--that it was "really" one continuous flow, broken only by death and rebirth, not unlike sleep and wake cycles during life between days. What about the fact that time is essentially an experiential construct and not "real"? Actually these "lives" are all at once!

When I began counseling in 1979 I found that most people’s needs and conflicts about self worth and status (or what have you), were tied strongly to the relationship with the parents and early environment. I correlated this with psychological need and developmental theories; much of it presented and pioneered by Noel Tyl in "The Principles and Practice of Astrology" a 12 volume set. With this recognition in mind I began counseling with the idea of assisting individuals in the recognition of this fact and how they brought these beliefs forward into adult conscious commandment. That, self worth, for example, is determined by the level (or lack of it) experienced as a perceived condition in the early environment, and taught by the parents and societal expectations. These beliefs are then carried forward, often in an unconscious state, and externalized in interaction with the environment.

By the early 1980s I studied with great interest the channeling of "Seth" by Jane Roberts. Especially the volume entitled "The Nature of Personal Reality", The Edgar Cayce material (A.R.E.), the approach of the Rosicrucians, and Bashar (Darryl Anka), and the association, Kevin Ryerson (McPherson and John) on reality creation. Now there was a new concern. If we create our own reality 100%, then why was the parental structure so influential in determining a person's reality experience? Why, or how, did we create the horoscope that we currently have? Where does the interaction of nurture and nature begin and end?

It is really not that hard to piece together. The horoscope reflects the belief momentum (past and present lives combined) and the resultant effects of such momentum, because the universe is simply idea and concept manifestation. The illusion is in the perception that there are beginnings and endings of realities: Not unlike one day appearing to be gone when we wake up the next. The parental interaction is the catalyst that is unconsciously absorbed (and created BEFORE birth by birth time choice and parental choice) to manifest the best representation of the belief structure of the identity involved and the experiences chosen as themes to be explored in this life. The horoscope exists BEFORE parental interaction and must therefore be a template vibrational version of the momentum of belief already chosen to act as a springboard of experiential developmental unfoldment.

The constellations and planets do not impel, compel, influence, energize or in any other way determine the identity of the individual. They reflect the signature of the persona: One version of "All That Is" or God, looking at itself in another way. It is all one thing manifesting in all the ways it can--of which--we are those ways. The horoscope is the reflection of the momentum of the idea that you are at any given moment. It is a tool to recognize (rethink or to comprehend with the conscious mind) the idea you are and its momentum or probable outcome as an effect of that definition.

Tools of psychology, astrology or other awareness enhancers allow us the opportunity to own the reality and redefine it with preference through this knowledge of self.

Artisans do not "believe" or "disbelieve" in tools. They use and apply the tool for the job at hand, and their concern is for effect and improvement in the quality of life. Therefore the "proof" is in the improvements--not the tools. An astrologer can only serve as an artisan with a tool of self awareness.

Self awareness is the only agent of change for a probable "fate" in the mirror of mind, matter.
