Tom Lescher – New Paradigm Astrology, Webinar 6
Good morning webineers! This is webinar #6. We’re
doing very well with this course. I’d like to thank you for
your enthusiasm. I’m glad that everyone is gung-ho,
charging full boar into astrology because it’s amazing.
Particularly during these times, it helps us to get a
perspective on the madness that is going on around us on
a day-to-day basis. I thank God for astrology every day!
The Houses
Let’s get started. We’re on the houses. Let’s give
ourselves a pat on the back. We’ve made it through the
signs and the planets. The houses are the fields of human
experience. We talked about the planetary lights; the
planets are the lights, the psycho-spiritual function. Mars
is desire, Mercury is communication and thinking, Moon
is my innermost child, mother and feeling. So we have
these functions within us. The King, the Warrior, the
Lover, the Magician; these archetypes that we carry
within us are these different voices inside of our heads,
our hearts and our souls that call us this way and that. In
psychology they call them sub-personalities. The inner
critic, inner judge, inner father, inner child, it’s all inside
there. You can look at these planets as being that way,
and those planetary lights go through the signs, which
are the filters. So there’s 12 different ways of thinking
about something, 12 different attitudes, 12 different
approaches. The House is where it’s happening; the
stage.
1st House
1st house: me, I, my, my identity, I am. When we look at
these different houses, the ‘where’ is an externalization
of an internal experience. They are this internal
experience which is then projected out to create the
Maya, the external reality. The 1st house is instinct.
We’ve talked about Aries and Mars. This 1st house is my
impulse, instinct, the “I am”. The internal experience is
“I am” and the external experience of that, given by the
ascendant, is your physical body, your appearance. But
it’s not just your physical body, it’s your magnetic field,
your aura, how you enter and come into the world. It’s
what other people experience you as. Some people refer
to the ascendant as the front door. It’s your front door,
the 1st thing that people see.
The Ascendant and Physical Appearance
When we rectify charts, a lot of the time you can just
look at a person and know they are a Cancer rising. They
have eyes that look like Moons, and a big, round face.
Look at me, Leo rising, I have the mane flying! Of
course your aura is modified by the work you
consciously do, but in general, the baby is born with blue
eyes, (Aquarius or Libra rising perhaps). Aries rising has
the angular jaw like the warrior.
The ascendant is the physical appearance, the aura, the
magnetic field. It’s not just physical; it’s also your
energy. Your Water rising is going to be people that kind
of flow into the room. They are like a tall glass of water
that just got poured into the party. Of course, your Fiery
ascendant people are going to barge into the room like a
firestorm. The Earth people just don’t come into the
room. The Earth people host the party and everybody
comes into their house so they don’t have to move. Just
kidding! (*laughing)
Empty Houses and Planets in Houses
When you have a planet in a house, it is like having your
house rented. When you drive by that house, if it’s
empty you talk to the owners. The owner of a house is
the planet that rules the sign on the cusp of the house.
The first house is ruled by the Ascendant and the next
sign going counterclockwise rules the second house etc.
If the house is empty you look for information about that
house by looking at the sign, house, and aspects of its
ruler. If there are planets in the house, just like a house
being rented, the occupants will tell you more about the
house than the rulers (owners).
Saturn in the 1st House
The 1st house is your Identity, your “I” or “Self”. It is
enter or face the world, your spontaneous, unconscious
instincts and desires. Saturn in the 1st house will
represent a “Self” that is serious, concerned with
material security and therefore ambitious. Remember
that Saturn is the Elder, the objective, grounded
authority. When it falls in the 1st house the 1st half of
life is a lot harder than the 2nd half. Once you are grown
up people listen to you like an adult; Saturn is the adult,
so it’s hard to be a kid when you’re so mature,
responsible and dutiful. Saturn in the 1st house people
hang out with the older folks; the 5 year old that hangs
out with Mom and Dad, the bridge club, the adults
because they are this walking adult from early on. In the
2nd half of life, as you mature and get older, people stop
treating you like you’re a little kid and you don’t know
anything. They treat you like you inwardly feel, like you
inwardly are. “I am Saturn, I am an adult, I can handle it,
talk to me reasonably about serious matters and listen to
me because I know what I’m talking about.” Saturn in
the 1st house reflects an ambitious soul that may have a
hard time relaxing, letting go, and playing as a child.
Saturn in the 1st house is a little bit like a Saturn/Mars
conjunction. Because Mars rules the 1st house you can
kind of look at it this way. Venus rules the 2nd house. If
you’ve got Jupiter in the 2nd house, it’s like a
Venus/Jupiter conjunction. This is another way of
interpreting and looking at these things. In basic
astrology, we’re just giving you little hints and tools and
you will refine your skills over years of practice.
Saturn in the 1st house is “I want to go, I want to get
there, I want to stand tall, I have a lot of integrity, I am
Saturn.” So you are a good boss. You know how to
delegate responsibility and how to take responsibility.
Moon in the 1st House
Let’s look at the Moon in the 1st house. It’s like a
Moon/Mars conjunction. The Moon in the 1st house is “I
am the Moon, I change, I flow, I’m sensitive, I feel,
sometimes I’m scared and innocent, and young. Other
times I am the mother and I want to hold, nurture and
support. I come into this world with my heart, my
feelings and the desire to connect emotionally.” This
Moon in the 1st house is going to be very emotional, and
the Moon changes. Here one hour, there the next. The
Moon is responsive and reacts. So Moon in the 1st house
is going to be a person who is reactive. This 1st house is
your basic, primal, instinctive self. I am.
Pluto in the 1st House
“I am Pluto. I am a volcano. I’m holding, building.”
Sometimes they are tall, dark and handsome. Actually
Pluto and Scorpio are not always necessarily handsome
or beautiful. It’s more often rough, rugged features like a
volcano. Think of Pluto. Pluto is a shadow magnet. If
you’ve got Pluto in the 1st house, you trigger people.
Pluto is the force of magnetism, so Pluto in the 1st house
is a magnetic, large personality/field that attracts people
who are seeking transformation. Pluto on the ascendant
or Pluto in the 1st house has these eyes that penetrate
and gaze into you. Like Dracula… “COME to me!” The
eyes that draw you in and see through you, that attract
people who are unconsciously or consciously looking for
transformation. Look at counselors, therapists, shamans
and healers. These are intense people. They look at you,
and you feel the hypnotic gaze, you are drawn into their
field because you need transformation and change. These
are Plutonian forces. What is the I am? Pluto can be
crisis, identity crisis. Pluto is the force of death and
resurrection. Stick it in the 1st house and what do you
have? You die and you’re born again. You go through
this and it falls apart, over and over, again and again.
I happen to have Pluto in the 1st house and I know this.
(*laughing) I keep saying, “I’m not going to start over
again, this is it.” And then, I find myself starting over
again. I keep saying, “No this is it, I’ve got it now.” I
was a gypsy, then an electronics engineer, and then a
teacher, an astrologer, carpenter, father, son. You go
through identity after identity.
Sun in the 1st House
Let’s look at Sun in the 1st house. “I am that I am that I
am. I don’t need excuses or reasons, I simply am. The
Sun in the 1st house is powerful. It is the leader, pioneer.
I am going to start and create. It’s a fiery planet in a fiery
house. Look at it as a Sun/Mars conjunction. “I’m going
to go, go, go.” Sometimes too much Sun can scorch. It
can be a pretty narcissistic, self-oriented type of an
aspect. “Huh, you mean there’s other people? I was just
practicing batting balls. Sorry to break all your
windows.” The 1st house puts things out. It’s a Yang,
masculine, outward, going, creating, pushing… and then
every once in a while, there will be a reaction, response
or backlash. There are lunar people out there who will
react!
No Judgments
We don’t want to stereotype anything here. You have to
look at the whole chart. Every planet has a function, a
place. Sun in the 1st house is also going to have a Moon
somewhere, and everybody has a 12th house. If you
think you’re so great, everybody’s got a Saturn!
Everybody has ups and downs that are all part of a
pattern, a whole, your soul intention and your soul
purpose. This is not you. We come back to the idea that
we are infinite spiritual beings and we put on these
birthcharts like we put on costumes for a play. We are
coming in for a lifetime on planet Earth, and we decide
to be this for this lifetime; to explore this, to research
that. The birthchart is not who you are. It is the intention
that your soul has for this lifetime, and this is the
difference between the soul and the spirit. We are spirits,
and we’ve got these souls. So don’t limit your reality to
your birthchart, and don’t take that quote out of context,
because it sure doesn’t sound very good for an astrologer
to be saying. (*laughing) I’m just saying that it’s all
purposeful and look at the whole thing. Don’t judge
according to this planet and that house.
2nd
House
Let’s get to the 2nd
house. The 2nd
house is an Earth
house, a fixed house. It’s that seed that sprouts. That
creative impulse in Aries grounds, needs to survive, the
seed needs to get some dirt. We’re on Earth! 2nd
house
has to do with survival, making it in a physical body, on
a physical planet, in a 3rd
dimensional time-space
continuum. It is where the rubber hits the road. That 2nd
house internally is “what I value, what is important to
me.” It is my physical body also, but even deeper than
that, let’s say the 2nd
house is what my physical body can
do. It’s my talents, capacity, what I have, the tools I
have to me survive within this physical body and world.
Therein, it is also tied in with the physical expression of
our sexual nature which is pro-creation. The 1st house is
“I am,” and that Martian quality, wants to radiate. Mars
is the hunter, 1st house. 2
nd house is, “I manifest this in a
physical act.” The 1st house is a Fire house, it is
inspiration, imagination, impulse, and instinct, that then
leads to the 2nd
house and manifests into tangible, visible
results. What do we see? What comes out of that
impulse? If you’re angry in the 1st house, the 2
nd house is
your fist. (*laughing)
You have an impulse in the 1st house to do something,
make something or go somewhere. The 2nd house then
is the money you use to travel, to make it happen. 1st
house; “I want to look good.” 2nd
house; “I’m going
shopping for some clothes that really reflect my sexy
self.” Where do our talents and capacities come from?
1st house is “I want to make music.” 2
nd house is “I buy a
violin, a guitar or a piano.” Then my talent or capacity is
that I learn how to play them in the 3rd
house/Gemini. 2nd
house is the violin. The first house desire to play it
coupled with the 2nd
house physical instrument then
leads to the 3rd
house of learning how to play it. Do you
get the flow and interaction of the houses then?
Jupiter in the 2nd
House
Let’s put some planets in the 2nd house. Jupiter conjunct
Venus; think of it, Venus is the ruler of the 2nd house.
You’ve got a Jupiter/Venus conjunction. “I expand, I
feel good, I evolve through physical abundance, through
being receptive, through gathering resources and
becoming more self-reliant” It’s a Yin house. These
houses go back and forth from Yang to Yin, and cycle
through Fire, Earth, Air, andWater. The second house is
a feminine house; it’s about receiving. Venus is a
feminine planet, it’s the receptive. So Jupiter in the 2nd
house is going to draw in a lot, draw in abundance. It’s
also going to have a lot of capacity and talent. It is going
to be able to survive. Jupiter is about beliefs. It is the
guru within us. So the belief that the person has is going
to have a tremendous influence upon their physical well-
being, their ability to survive. Let’s say Jupiter in the 2nd
house is squared by Saturn in the 5th
house, opposite
Pluto in the 8th
house. There will be a whole dynamic
that affects these. So you can’t simply say that
everybody with Jupiter in the 2nd house is going to be a
multi-millionaire but you can say that part of their
evolutionary path involves expanding in a physical way,
making their dreams/beliefs manifest in physical
realities. It also reflects a healthy sense of self-worth
which naturally attracts wealth to it. They may not take
a job that doesn’t pay them what they feel they are worth
whereas another person may sell themselves short in
comparison. This can therefore lead to an accumulation
of wealth.
Saturn in the 2nd
House
Saturn is the teacher and in the 2nd
house of survival, it
says, “You want to survive? You need stand up, take
responsibility, be the boss, grow up. You can’t wallow in
tears, but stand and be tall, step into your wisdom, have
the integrity.” Saturn can work on a number of different
levels, and a lot of times it deals with the shadow: what
is repressed, avoided, denied and projected outside of
ourselves. Saturn is the Lord of Karma. Saturn is the
externalization of my authority. So Saturn in the 2nd
house can be someone who has adopted other people’s
values. “I listened to Mom, Dad, teachers and society
and my values, my core beliefs are like I’m judging
myself (Saturn), I’m evaluating myself (2nd
house)
according to what they do, who they are, what society
says is valuable.”
Basically, Saturn in the 2nd
house says, “You can’t do
that, you’ll fall short, you’re not going to fit in, you’re
not the consensus, you’re not the norm.” Saturn is the
norm, it is the establishment. Saturn in the 2nd house is
“I am not the norm, I am not the establishment.” As a
little kid and in our 20s, we’re looking around trying to
fit in and see what everybody else is doing. We’ve got
peer pressure. We’re trying to listen to what people we
respect said, and trying to follow instructions and
recipes. It fails, falls, and doesn’t work. Sometimes that
can be extreme.
Conversely, Saturn in the 2nd house can be someone
who makes a lot of money. They joined the system, they
adopted false values. They become the real estate tycoon
and the big corporate monster. But they still have
Karma. Saturn in the 2nd house says, “You need to
throw off the external world, the established world, and
you need to start from scratch and build your own
foundation that is solidly and truly your Self.” And this
takes time.
If you don’t, and you buy into false values, then you may
have money and be materialistically successful. You
may get all the outer trappings of success and be
inwardly unfulfilled, unhappy and not know why. Until
it all falls apart and you back up, start from scratch, you
may not build up your new set of values leading to a
“true” (or individualized) sense of self-worth.
It can indicate that it takes you some time to discover
your uniqueness and you are unsuccessful following
external instructions. But when you develop new
capacities and talents you can succeed immensely!
Saturn in the 2nd
house says, “Get your butt out there and
play the game! Go to the school. I need to work my way
through the established steps. If I want to be a therapist,
this society says I need a degree. I’m going to go to
school and get a degree.” Saturn doesn’t let you cut
corners. When it’s in the 2nd
house and you want to
really get established and get a good sense of self-worth,
you want to get some money in the bank, you have to
pay some dues, go through the steps and climb the
mountain. Then you’ll receive the authority and respect
of your peers, of the establishment, of the outside world.
You have proven yourself in their eyes.
Neptune in the 2nd
House
Neptune in the 2nd house: Neptune is very unconscious.
It’s not an easy planet to have in the 2nd
house. It’s not
physical, it’s not material, and it’s not about 3rd
dimensional reality. So why would I give myself a
Neptune in the 2nd house? Some of you might ask
yourself that. Well, let’s look at it. Neptune in the 2nd
house is a big task. “I am going to make the invisible
visible. I am a magician. My infinite spiritual self is
coming down into my physical body, my physical
possessions.” This type of an individual is not
necessarily going to have an easy time in this society,
because Western civilization doesn’t have that much
value for Neptune. Neptune is music, dance, art, the
invisible, the inaudible, the magical mystery tour.
This is an interesting thing… I had a very good astrology
teacher a long time ago tell me, “You are in your houses
until your Saturn return. After your Saturn return, you’re
in your signs and that Neptune goes more into the sign.”
Our beginning of life, when the external authority and
rules are out there affecting us… this Neptune in the 2nd
house is going to start off the evolutionary process. A lot
of times money runs through their fingers like water.
Neptune, the God of the oceans, it’s like easy come easy
go. There’s this innocent, open, naïve, “oh yeah, money,
whatever, it will always be there, it will always happen, I
don’t really care about money, I’m not materialistic. You
need some money, here you go! Oh I ran out of money,
could you pay me back that money that you owe me?
What do you mean you don’t have it?” Neptune is where
you’re sleeping a little bit, and those first 28 years, if it’s
in the 2nd house, they are sleeping about money.
You may also be sleeping about your own inner
capacities and inner talents. Inner worth is very
intangible, and it’s like you are a magician, musician,
artist, and you have to own, believe and love that part of
yourself in order to attract abundance. Don’t forget: the
money in our bank account boils down to how worthy
we feel, how much we truly love ourselves, how much
we feel we are worth. That’s reflected in what’s coming
to us. Neptune in the 2nd house can feel like “I am an
angel of light, but I don’t feel like anybody is paying any
attention to angels these days. They are all so busy with
their briefcases, suitcoats, ties, white picket fences,
trying to buy fancy, expensive cars. I don’t really feel
valued. I may have some self-love, but I still may not
feel like I’m worth anything to anybody else. So I may
charge $20 an hour for my astrological chart readings
that change people’s lives because that’s all I think they
will pay me.” So Neptune in the 2nd house can sell
themselves' short and give themselves away because
they don’t feel connected with the material world. So
you see how these things work?
Pisces Ruling the 2nd
House
That can also be Pisces ruling the 2nd house, especially
if there are no planets in the 2nd house. Pisces ruling the
2nd house is like a Neptune/Venus conjunction. Don’t
forget the dual nature of Venus. There’s the Taurus side
of Venus; the money side. You look at transits and
progressions of Venus, where Venus falls. Venus has to
do with money. It’s not just love and relationships. You
get into money astrology, financial astrology, and Venus
is all about the money. She’s not just a dancer!
So Pisces ruling the 2nd house, like a Neptune/Venus
conjunction, this is also very dreamy. I’m thinking of the
dancer, the wild one, the innocent, the beautiful but very
ethereal and platonic. In bed, sexually, Venus/Neptune,
Neptune in the 2nd house is a spiritualization of the
body. It can be very platonic love. “I’m not a wham bam
caveman. I’m a sensitive lover. I want massage, and I
want to go slow. I want to cuddle and be held with the
music and incense. Don’t just come on to me. I’m a
Venus/Neptune. I’m very subtle and sensitive. I’m easily
overwhelmed.” Neptune is like whoa! “I don’t need a
caveman coming at me with a club.” Venus/Neptune is
“I play the harp in the back of the symphony.” A picture
is worth a thousand words. I should just get pictures of
these things and you can make sense of them yourself.
(*laughing)
3rd
House
Let’s go on to the 3rd
house. Gemini, Mercury, we talked
about those. It’s the left-brain. Linear, logical, how I
think, how I learn, how I integrate, navigate, make my
way from point A to point B. 3rd house is Google Maps,
Mapquest, how I get from here to here. 3rd house is the
stage, it’s where it happens. The 3rd house will describe
how you communicate. It’s the lower school. 9th
house is
higher school, university, traveling abroad, philosophy.
3rd
house is how you did in math and science. How you
got through grade school. Were you a good tape
recorder? Did you spit back to the teacher everything
that the teacher spit at you? It’s the computer. It’s
yes/no, right/wrong, light/dark, plus/minus. Just get
there, get through it. It’s also the now. What’s going on
right here and now right at the tip of my nose. Gemini/3rd
house/Mercury pays attention to here and now. So the 3rd
house is also your neighborhood, your next door
neighbors. I’ve always had trouble with neighbors. I’ve
always had issues with barking dogs next door and
terrible situations with neighbors. I have Neptune in the
3rd
house. I get overwhelmed with all of these neighbors.
Neptune in the 3rd
House
3rd
house is your lower school experience. Neptune in
the 3rd
house, I used to daydream and space out all
through grade school, look out the window, wish I was
gone. It’s how you think, how you communicate. I’m
alright talking about astrology, spiritual stuff, the
invisible world. When I try to sit down and write a book,
it’s a whole different ball game. So the 3rd
house brings
it into the here and now.
Multiple Planets in the 3rd
House
A lot of planets in the 3rd
house, it’s about teaching,
communicating, networking. All those multi-level
marketers, telemarketers, they are 3rd
house people. The
phone is ringing. I went to a concert the other night and
saw all these phones up in the air recording the concert. I
couldn’t even see the stage. When I looked over people’s
heads all I could see was these phones. It’s technical. It’s
also current. These are the gadget men and women. “I’ve
got to have the latest. I need the newest. OMG Windows
8 is out! I’ve only got Windows 7. I might be missing
something. I’ve got to have Windows 8.” It’s right here
now, stay current, stay up to date, get the latest
information, interact with your immediate environment.
As such then, it’s also brothers and sisters. Mercury/3rd
house is siblings. That’s good enough for now. This is
not all-inclusive. This is basic astrology 101.
4th
House
4th
house: home, roots, family, early childhood
experience. Let’s look at the inner and the outer. So 3rd
house; the inner, internalization aspect of it is how I
think, and the externalization is everything else that I
said. 4th
house: how do I inwardly feel? Where is my
inner sense of emotional, feeling, security? Inner
experience, outer experience = home, roots, family,
childhood. Was I breastfed or fed on the bottle? Was I
fed a bunch of GMOs? That’s huge. That’s big stuff! My
inner child, how I emotionally bond, how I emotionally
connect with other people, with my environment.
So this 4th
house is my emotional needs and when it’s
about security, let’s not forget the opposite: insecurity.
The 4th
house and planets in the 4th
house describe our
fears, what we are afraid of, what freaks out our inner
child. It is our past, our memory that gets triggered by
present people and activities. Sometimes 4th
house can
get lost. It’s very introverted. “I’m in my inner feelings.
I’m not even here now. Somebody slammed a door and
that reminded me of when I was 2 years old. That
slamming door just took me back to when my sister
slammed the door in my face. Now I’m feeling all these
feelings.”
Lots of Moon, Cancer, 4th
house you get lots of feelings.
These feelings are the personal unconscious emerging up
into consciousness to be integrated, digested and
processed. Part of the life purpose, what you came here
to do. It is where you stand. As far as houses then, if
you’re looking at a chart and somebody’s house burned
down, they had a flood, their plumbing has problems,
you look to the 4th
house.
Planets in the 4th
House
Saturn in the 4th
house can also be that you make your
business about real estate. You might work out of the
home. It’s also the physical house. Jupiter transits the 4th
house, you build an addition onto your house; you
expand your house. It’s not just natal but also transits.
We’ll get into transits with Astrology 102.
But the 4th
house, lots of planets in the 4th
house
describes the type of childhood that you had. Mars in the
4th
house, that’s no fun. You had to fight your way
through childhood. You have a lot of anger, emotional
anger that is triggered. You had some nasty experiences
as a child. You could have separation anxiety from mom.
Mars is the sword that cuts; separation anxiety around
age 2. Some separation occurs between you and your
mother that creates an inner anger and frustration that
takes years to understand and grow through.
If no planets in the 4th
house, you want to go to the sign
that’s ruling the 4th
house. I’ve got Scorpio ruling the 4th
house, no planets, I go to Pluto. Stick Pluto in your 4th
house, that’s what’s going on. Feel into that Scorpio
archetype. That’s what’s going on in that house for you.
Whatever planet or sign is there, in the natural
horoscope, we know that the Moon rules the 4th
house
because the Moon rules Cancer. If you have Scorpio
ruling your 4th
house, you can look at it a little like you
have a Pluto/Moon conjunction. If you’ve got Aries
ruling your 4th
house, it’s like you have a Mars/Moon
conjunction. If you’ve got Capricorn ruling your 4th
house, it’s like you have a Saturn/Moon conjunction.
Astrology is a blending of archetypes on different levels
in different ways. It’s putting keywords and key phrases
together into sentences. That’s what the next two
webinars will be about, and that’s what Stephen Forrest
does with The Inner Sky. He makes sentences: the what
(planet), how (sign), and where (house) makes an
astrological sentence.
5th
House
5th
house: inner experience. The internal heart of the 5th
house is Leo/Sun, I create, I demonstrate, I re-create, I
play, I perform, I expand, I shine, I radiate myself out
into the world in my solar unique way. So the 5th
house
has to do with gambling, speculation, fun, recreation, the
stage, performing, and children. Children are a pro-
creation, so children are an expression of myself. It’s the
house of children. It’s where I come out on stage, where
I’m seen, where I want to be the King or the Queen, I put
myself out there, I play, I get attention, I have fun, I
mess around.
Planets in the 5th
House
You put Saturn in there and you don’t mess around. “I’m
sorry, play is very serious here. We’re not just playing
around. I am seriously expressing myself. I want to be
heard. This is important.” Put Pluto there and it gets even
heavier. “This is very, VERY important and if you don’t
listen I’ll chop your head off.” Just kidding. (*laughing)
The 5th
House and Love Affairs
Love affairs is another thing that falls in the 5th
house.
What is that about? The definition of love affairs is
you’re in a relationship, a marriage, a committed
relationship and you’re not getting enough attention. The
5th
house: “I’m on stage, I want applause, I want a clap, I
want to be loved, don’t reject me, roll out the red carpet,
I’m here, smile, I said something, hello!” 5th
house needs
to be seen. A love affair is when your partner, your one
on one, monogamous relationship is not getting you
enough positive attention/kudos. They aren’t paying
enough attention to you. You’re not seen enough. You’re
not feeling appreciated or special. There’s that need to
feel special, to feel like the King or the Queen. So it’s
like, “Ok, this other person who was at the movie theater
the other night smiled and winked at me and made me
feel special. You’re not making me feel special, so I
reach out to this other person.”
This is how this thing about love affairs came to be
associated with the 5th
house. The 5th
house is more
short-term. It’s play, fun. The 5th
house is square the 8th
house, Leo is square Scorpio. Scorpio is the
commitment, the long-term. Fifth house is the romantic,
candlelight dinners and romance. It’s experiencing
yourself through the response of other people and the
environment. You know yourself through your creations,
so Leo/5th
house/Sun is creating, creating to know
yourself. Then people look at your creations and give
you feedback. These Fire signs: Aries just puts itself out
there. It’s a mystery unto itself. It needs Libra to give the
feedback. Leo needs Aquarius, the whole fricken planet,
the whole community to give it feedback to see itself, to
know itself through its creations.
6th
House
6th
house/Virgo/Mercury: health, integration, sickness,
work, co-workers, employees, mentors, apprentices,
aunts, uncles, your daily routine, health and hygiene. The
bottom line is the internal experience. Virgo is the sign
of the initiation of the individual into the social group or
social order. It falls between Leo: the sign of self-
consciousness and self-awareness of my creative
capacity needing to get to Libra: other people,
partnership, relationship and society at large. Virgo is the
initiation of the Leo into the Libra; self meets other. I
described Virgo as the bridegroom or the bride preparing
for the wedding. It’s this place where we get it together;
integrate. That very often implies purging, purifying,
perfecting, my physical body. It’s an Earth house, it’s an
Earth sign. It’s get the body together. It is my health. It’s
the physical expression.
Neptune in the 5th
House
With Neptune in the 5th
house, or Neptune in Leo you
could have some illusions, some fantasies or dreams
about who you are and what your life purpose is. “I
think everybody needs pens made out of paper. My
creative expression is going to be making paper pens.”
But maybe nobody needs or wants paper pens. Then in
the 6th
house you will experience a humbling of yourself
or some critical feedback that says “Hey, you need to
make those pens out of something stronger so they last.”
You may need to improve or modify your original
creative effort and this happens in the 6th
house.
The Virgo Realm of Experience
This is a place where we see if our creations are needed
by other people. It’s the house of work. “I am integrating
into my environment, society, and relationships. I need
to perfect, analyze, do market research. Virgo is going to
tell you if everybody needs paper pens or not. If they
don’t then you need to go back to the drawing board.
You need to inwardly process, integrate, analyze,
calculate, and figure out what when wrong. “Why wasn’t
that successful? I borrowed thousands, made thousands
of paper pens and lost my shirt.” Virgo is the
bookkeeper, it is the accountant that’s figuring and
analyzing. Your paper pen company is going broke.
So we get feedback from our bodies and from our
analysis and our calculations and other people. They
help bring us into places of better control and greater
awareness. I always look at that 6th
house/Virgo/Mercury
as the beaver chopping down those trees, building the
dam, affecting nature, working at nature, directing
nature, influencing nature, creators of culture. There
would be no skyscrapers, Golden Gate Bridges or
Titanics without Virgo. Pisces is fine to live on the beach
and drum naked and swim with dolphins. Eat the fruit
off the tree, dig up the wild roots, God will provide.
Virgo is like, “Hey! Let’s build a shelter or a skyscraper.
I’m tired of walking into town. Let’s build a bicycle or a
car. Let’s do something. Let’s take what we’ve got and
do something with it.” Virgo is the tinkerer. I’m going to
mess with this, I’m going to improve it.” Virgo is about
improving and perfecting, performance, taking the
creation from the 5th
house and working with it.
House Stepping
The 3rd
house is brothers and sisters, and the 6th
house is
aunts and uncles from the Mother’s side. This is because
the 4th
house is Mom. When you take the 4th
house as the
1st house, the 6
th house is the 3
rd house from the 4
th
house. So it’s your Mom’s brothers and sisters, which
are your aunts and uncles.
Let’s take another one. 4th
house is Mom, 5th
house is
Mom’s money because the 5th
house is the 2nd
house
from the 4th
house. Do you see how these types of things
go? So everything will fall into a house. Every aspect,
event in your life, person in your life, possession, every
anything that happens will fall into a house of your chart.
This is called “House Stepping” and we will return to
use it over and over again in different ways.
6th
House
So back to the 6th
house: health, hygiene, and our diet.
Look at what kinds of food you’re eating, what kind of
exercise are you getting? This is where you’re going to
perfect that body of yours in order to impress Libra/the
other. What is your daily routine like, your activities?
Are you sitting in front of a computer all day and your
muscles are wasting away into nothing? You’re not
getting any exercise, so you don’t have any energy? You
don’t charge out to meet your partner, neighbor, or other
people because you’re tired, weak and not getting
exercise or eating the right food. When we have planets
with “hard” aspects, or Pluto, Chiron, Neptune, or Saturn
perhaps in the 6th
, it will give us indications as to what
the person needs to establish and maintain good health
and what challenges they will face around their physical
health.
Neptune in the 6th
House
Diet, exercise, perfecting my body, getting my physical
well-being together. Neptune in the 6th
house is
notorious for misdiagnoses. You go to the straight-laced
doctor looking at your physical body like it’s a car. He’s
looking for what organ to replace and what drug to give
you. Neptune in the 6th
house says, “No, it’s my whole
psychic condition, my astral body and how these are all
connected. I have to go to the witch doctor and really
figure out, integrate these different worlds.” Neptune
always brings in the other world. When it’s in an Earth
house, it’s like you have to some way integrate your
multi-dimensional, spiritual reality with your physical
Earthly experience. That is both challenging and leads to
self-mastery.
7th
House
The 7th
house is good because now we can play around
with polarities! The 1st house is “I am.” The 7
th house is
“You are.” It is “The other,” whoever is out there, be it a
business partnership, romantic partnership, life
partnership, or an enemy. I’ve discussed this with Libra
a little bit. It is the part of ourselves that we are so out of
touch with, we project it out onto the other, into the
outside world and we have it come at us. We don’t even
experience it as ourselves, but as somebody else. So the
astrologer looks at your 7th
house, planets in the 7th
house and describes your partners, the type of people
you’re attracted to and who are attracted to you. It’s
what goes on and what goes down in your partnerships
and relationships.
Multiple Planets in the 7th
House
If you have a lot of planets in the 7th
house, partnerships,
other people, and relationships are a key element in your
evolutionary process. You are coming in here maybe to
be a counselor, work with other people, learning from
other people, sharing with other people. The 7th
house is
also the scales; coming into balance. We talk about
partnership: 50/50. It’s bringing these relationships out
of codependency into intra-dependency, inter-
dependency.
You’ve got the Sun in the 7th
house, Mars, Venus, all
these planets in the 7th
house; very often it is “I’m here
for you” Especially the Moon’s nodes or the Moon in the
7th
house. “You are my life purpose. You are the reason
for my being. “Look at all the love songs. Karen
Carpenter, “You Light Up My Life.” You, you, you! “I
need you, can’t live without you, I am you.” This is
where you can go overboard. You have to balance out
the 1st and 7
th houses, Aries and Libra.
Sun in the 7th
House
Sun in the 7th
house; I shine in partnership. “When I’m
with somebody, that’s where I shine.” I talked about the
polarities with Venus and Mars. If you’ve got Venus in
the 7th
house, it indicates that you have a way of
knowing, of feeling into the other. You put yourself in
the other person’s shoes, you feel the other person’s
feelings, you know what the other person needs, you’re
all about the other person. You want to balance that 7th
house energy with the 1st house.
Uranus in the 7th
House
When you have Uranus in the 7th
house, you’ve got some
extreme unpredictable, weird partnerships. Weird stuff
goes on, and you are here to invent new forms of
relationship. Unpredictable things happen. You get crazy
partners; hot one day, cold the next, here one day, gone
the next. There’s always that instability. But that
instability leads you to new awareness, new
understanding, and remarkable new approaches to
relationship.
If you’ve got Aquarius over there, you get eccentric
partners, unusual types of people, unusual relationship
conditions. This isn’t just romantic, this can also be
business; business partners who walk off with all the
money, all the clients or all the business. The reverse can
also happen. You get a Jupiter/Uranus going on in there,
and thank God for that partner! That partner blew your
mind and opened you up. Jupiter/Uranus is Expand
through the Internet. Jupiter/Uranus in the 7th
could
indicate that you met your spouse on Matchmaker.com!
(*laughing)
I don’t want to over-emphasize it, but as long as we’re
with Uranus in the 7th, it can also indicate that I am out
of touch with my Uranus. “I’m out of touch with how
different I really am, how much of a genius I really am. I
see it in everybody else. I see it as out there. It’s my
partner who’s amazing, a genius, a fanatic, extreme, or
unpredicatable. I don’t see it in myself. I project it onto
the other and experience it coming to me.”
Uranus there indicates that it is time to liberate yourself
from a dependency upon what other people think of you.
Judging yourself according to other people’s opinions,
break out of the flock, the herd, or the mold. And you
will attract others who will show you just how that is
done….. examples of how to be different, live different
and not be intimidated.
In the 7th
house we learn through our projections. The
more you can own the planets in your 7th
house, the more
you can take on who your partner really is or what they
are bringing. Pluto in the 7th
house is “my partner is
trying to kill me, the old me, to transform me. If I come
to a place where I realize that the purpose of my
relationships is to help me to transform I can accept that
it is my soul intention and not blame or hole them
responsible – see? I really need to change. I’m creating
a situation where I need to do big things, tap into deep,
deep stuff. So I attract a deep, deep partnership reality.”
Mercury in the 7th
House
Mercury in the 7th
house, put Gemini over there in the 7th
house, you’re a Sagittarius rising. “We like to talk,
window shop, travel, go places. I need stimulation. I
need an intelligent partner, someone who’s good at
business, someone who knows how to get around, has it
together, isn’t spacey or abstract. One thing that bothers
me is dumb people. My spouse is sharp. He/She’s a
writer etc.”
8th
House
8th
house: opposite of the 2nd
house. 2nd
house is my
values, 8th
house is other peoples values. 2nd
house is my
capacity, talent and money. 8th
house is other people’s
capacities, talents and money. 2nd
house, “It’s mine, I’m
in control.” 8th
house, “I can’t control you, the world, the
banks, the insurance companies.” 8th
house is forces
beyond my control. Banks, taxes, inheritance, insurance,
settlements, corporate money, other people’s money,
shared money.
This is the realm where we meet Uncle Sam and the IRS.
You’re not going to fight the IRS. Some people try.
(*laughing) This is where the individual that has been
built up from Leo through Libra meets the dragon, the
devil, the underworld, the “wild, wild world.” It’s the
predator and the prey, the mouse and the lion. “I have to
stand up against the tsunami, the bank. I have to muster
and master all my forces, my whole self to face this!”
Scorpio/Pluto is the eagle, not just the scorpion. It’s
where we come into mastery. That involves a
death/resurrection experience, a humbling experience,
really getting down, vulnerable and open, looking at the
deeper sources, processes, roots of what’s holding me
back, what I’m afraid of. 8th
house is the house of sex
and orgasm. Scorpio, Pluto is this merging and uniting
that “whether I am confronting this force I can’t control,
or merging with it, my evolutionary process involves
deep, internal, alchemical change as one product of
every intimate relationship.
Our sexual impulse is one way we extend beyond
ourselves. It is the polarity of Taurus and the 2nd
house:
ourselves, our inner processes, emotions, needs,
feelings. The I/Me/My and mine. But we all experience
an impulse, a desire to connect with someone or
something outside ourselves that we feel we want and
don’t have. One reason we talk to the opposite sex is that
we are stirred/motivated by this magnetic impulse or
desire to connect with them on a physical level.
So this sexual impulse and desire is a very powerful
magnetic force of attraction that signals there’s an
evolutionary process here, a Karma here, a pathway of
growth, a transformation or transmutation through the
mixing and blending of our chemistry with that of
another. Alchemy is when we mix two together and we
get something different than either out of it as a result.
This 8th
house is the house where we kind of lose
ourselves. Those two chemicals mix together and you
don’t have pure Hydrogen or Oxygen anymore, you have
H20; water. You lose yourself in the 8th
house. You die
to your old self when you merge. You exchange sexual
fluids, you bring something into you and you give
something away. You are no longer the same. It’s death.
Bye bye to the past, to the old.
Multiple Planets in the 8th
House
If you’ve got lots of planets in the 8th
house, there is this
innate knowing that you are here to process and work
with, whether through confrontation or union, other
people and other forces you can’t control. It can also be
money; big money. “I’m the branch manager for Bank of
America. I deal with other people’s money.” It’s about
power and sometimes force and manipulation. It’s the
arena where it happens. If you get a divorce, the 8th
house has to do with who gets what; the car, the house,
the money, custody. Sometimes, the lawyers need to step
in to figure out the shared possessions and help
determine where the lines need to be drawn.
9th
House
9th
house. We come out of the 8th
house. The 8th
house is
“Why. Why me? Why this? Why now? 9th
house is the
answers to the questions. It's the house of philosophy,
the meaning of life, understanding, truth, bigger, wider,
broader picture, connecting more dots to your picture,
understanding things. You merge out of the tunnel, the
cave, or purgatory. The 8th
house is hell and purgatory;
9th
house is I come out of it purged, different than I went
into it. I am liberated, I understand, I expand. There was
a point and a purpose to it, and now I understand why.
Your natal chart is how you are pieced together, and the
9th house tells us what beliefs we have that piece our
reality together to give meaning to our lives. Everybody
has their own belief system. “I believe that you must be
saved by Jesus Christ, or you will not go to Heaven. So
much of my life experience is filtered by that belief. It’s
a filter that I run everything through.” 9th
house also has
to do with judgments, the beliefs that I hold, the truth
that I stand for. It’s a mutable house. It’s right-brained.
Gemini and the 3rd house is the left brain.
Sagittarius/Jupiter/9th
house is the right brain. “I am
constantly expanding, intuiting, understanding bigger
and bigger pieces of the puzzle. Let’s not forget the Holy
Ghost and God the Father. There’s a trinity there. Aha!
And that trinity leads me to studying angels and
archangels. I start studying angels, and pretty soon they
start appearing to me and talking to me. They are telling
me different things than the priest told me. So I’m
expanding my understanding of angels.”
We are always learning and expanding, changing our
beliefs. So Jupiter, 9th
house expansion is “I was a born
again Christian, and then I went to Tibet.” 9th
house:
foreign lands, foreign journeys, gurus, traveling, airports.
“So I met this Hari Krishna at the airport, and Wow that
guy just blew my mind! I was a born again Christian, but
now I’m a Hari Krishna. Then the Hari Krishna goes
down to South America and takes some Ayahuasca and
becomes a Shaman etc... This is how we are constantly
growing, expanding, and learning whether it is in a
university (9th house) or sitting at the foot of a guru (9th
house). The 9th
house, it's ruler and the planets in it tell
us about the beliefs and religion and philosophy that a
person has.
We talked about the 3rd
house as representing the city,
neighborhood, "busyness," and computers/gadgets. The
9th
house, Sagittarius is the cowboy that roams the wild
range, herds cattle, is out in nature. "I drink my
campground coffee strong. I chase the wild mares and
wild stallions through the woods and through the
mountains.” The 9th house is the great outdoors,
Outward Bound, rocky mountain high. It’s living in the
country. A strong Sag or 9th house is a free spirit, maybe
athletic, loves nature and the outdoors and needs a lot of
personal space.
The bottom line of the 9th house that ties it all together is
"natural law." Nature holds the meaning of life, truth,
freedom, and is the best foundation for human cultural
laws and religions that result in the 10th house, the 2nd
from the 9th. The second house always has to do with
the manifestation of the first house. If we make the the
9th house the first then the 10th house (as we will see)
socio-cultural laws are the manifestation of the truth that
we come to or realize in the 9th house.
The Chart is the Soul’s Intention
Just because you have this chart, doesn’t mean your life
is that way. It means that your life was intended to be
that way. You can fight like a bulldog, like a donkey
sticking his four feet in the mud. “I don’t want to go
there. Somebody told me that was wrong, and I listened
to somebody else instead of my own soul blueprint. I’ve
got Sagittarius on the 4th,
and I’m living in downtown
New York city. I’m not happy about it but I just can’t
seem to get out of there.” That’s part of why it’s great
that you’re studying astrology, and you can counsel
people. That’s where the counseling comes in. It’s like
get your ego mind in alignment with your unconscious
spiritual intention that’s laid out right here like a
blueprint in your astrological birthchart.
Nature, anthropology, multi-culturalism. It’s the people
that bring money to the orphans in Africa. Salvation
Army people, Peace Corps people, Sagittarius people are
combining different religions, different cultures,
different societies. They got it all going on. They are
your ex-patriots. Down there in Bali, I think I met more
Sagittarian people than anywhere else. Many people
from all over the world with strong beliefs about what
was right and what was wrong and they gathered
together there where they feel supported by a culture that
is so spiritual and built around their spiritual beliefs.
10th
House
The 10th
house is the opposite of the 4th
house. The 4th
house is your innermost personal process, and the 10th
house is your outermost public persona. It’s your
reputation, the job you hold, the office you fulfill, the
way people look to you, what people expect of you, how
much you are an authority out there in the world.
Where/when you are not functioning in that capacity, it
symbolizes/describes your boss, your employer, the
government, external authorities, the ones who make the
laws you have to abide by. It is a house of karma ruled
by Saturn, the Lord of Karma. There are unchangeable
laws. There’s gravity. Gravity is a 10th
house experience.
What goes up comes down.
Life is not always fun. The 10th house has to do with our
duties and responsibilities. In the old days, it was the
Father. Nowadays it can be the Mother. Single mothers
may be the 4th
house and the 10th
house. I do associate
Moms and Dads more with the Sun and the Moon rather
than the 4th
and the 10th
house anymore because you
have to talk to your client and ask who laid down the
law. Let’s look at it. Mom is unconditional love. Mothers
love their kids no matter what. Father’s love is much
more conditional. It’s more Saturnian: prove yourself,
stand up, get a job, be responsible. It kind of pulls you
out of your child, out of your inner world. In the case of
a single mom, she may need to be both which is an
extremely challenging job!
As a teacher I remember representing another external
authority. The teacher takes the child away from the
mother and the family, and gives that child to the world.
The teacher is the go-between, the medium. Sometimes
parents have a hard time with teachers because they are
taking their little baby away. Saturn takes us out of our
child and matures us. After the teacher there is the
employer, or the government, or the church, or the
army... the list of external authorities goes on and on.
Multiple Planets in the 10th
House
The 10th house represents the office that we hold or the
responsibilities that we have to the world at large. It is
the persona that project or the mask that we wear when
out in the public. A lot of planets there and you may
confuse your mask, what your persona is, what the
outside world says you are, with your 4th
house -
who/what you really are. It’s kind of tricky. This whole
thing of maturity, inner, outer, all this reflection, this is
what’s so much fun about coming into these bodies, and
living in this Maya world of the 3rd
dimension. “What’s
me, my persona, my mask and how is it different from
the truth? How can I more adequately express my true
self?” This is the 10th
house: it is about integrity. “How
can I come into integrity and express my core 4th
house
truth out in the world, and will I make any money at it?”
Let's recall that the 10th house is an earth house and that
it is, with Cancer and 4th house, the "Security Axis" in
the chart. Cancer and the 4th house have to do with
emotional security and Capricorn and the 10th have to
do with material security which many seek through the
acquisition of money.
11th
House
11th
house: Aquarius, opposite of 5th
house. 5th
house is
my creations, my need for attention, myself. 11th
house,
think of it, Aquarius: Uranus, friends, groups,
associations, globalization, politics, science, technology,
totally non-personal, totally non-attached, very cerebral,
inventor, inventions, genius, 3rd eye, future. In old
astrology they call it the house of hopes and wishes, and
that is really to do with future purpose. The Sun in the 5th
house is my purpose. “This is my purpose. I’m creating
this.” That 11th
house is my future purpose. So that’s
where my hope or my wish comes in. It’s where I’m
aiming my arrow. It’s where I’m headed. It’s what’s
driving me, pulling me forward. In the present you have
the past pushing you and the future pulling you - there's
no escape ha ha! The future is like a black hole, a vortex,
sucking us up and in.
Multiple Planets in the 11th
House
Lots of planets there, you are a global, planetary citizen.
A lot of your soul intention is to do with zillions of
people and big corporations, big enterprises, politics, lots
of community work, depending upon the planets of
course. Moon there, South node of the Moon there, that’s
your past, where you’re coming from. Sun there, Venus
there, Mars there, that’s where you are, and there will be
a lot of activity. You are a rebel.
The 11th
house is also the house of liberation and
deconditioning. It’s coming out of the 10th
house. 11th
house is also a little bit of retirement. 2nd
house from the
10th
house, it’s the money from the business. So
transiting planets, when they go through the 10th
house
and go into that 11th
house you experience the results of
what you did out in the world. You can either expand
upon it in a new, larger way or break free from it and
have a new vision, new path.
The 11th house is also the house of "friends and
acquaintances" in old astrology (now the buzz word is
community). A lot of your friends and acquaintances are
the result of the business you do in the outside world.
We meet people through our work and they become our
friends, often because of shared values (2nd from the
10th) or visions of the future.
12th
House
12th
house. We have exactly 13 minutes to do the 12th
house, and there’s no way we can do the 12th
house in 13
minutes because the 12th
house is infinite! It’s Pisces!
Very simply, just to get it out there, it has to do with
what goes on behind the scenes, the collective
unconscious. It’s where I meet the collective. It’s my
egoless self, my spiritual self, my ultimate fantasy,
dream, or imagination about who I am or how I am
connected to the spiritual world. Therefore, the
externalization of that is it’s the house of dreams, house
of meditation. In the physical world it’s the Ashram, the
cave, the mountaintop, the bedroom, the bed where I’m
sleeping and dreaming, the hospital.
Think of the collective unconscious. It is reflected in our
large institutions; educational institutions, medical
institutions, religious institutions, governmental
institutions etc. There are more Presidents of the United
States born with the Sun in the 12th
house than any other
house. They are the head of the government, a huge,
massive institution.
In another way, on another level, you may not become a
famous representative of the collective unconscious.
You may hide away, run away, or "ascend" toward a
spiritual, otherworldly consciousness. It’s the house of
selflessness. It’s the opposite of Virgo. Virgo is effort
and working on the dam, doing, doing, doing. 12th
house
is the house of the martyr, of the victim, sacrifice,
selfless giving and serving. These Presidents are servants
of the public. Yes, they may get a lot of money and
prestige, but I see more Presidents get gray hair in 4
years than anybody else I’ve ever seen. I don’t think
they are really having that good of a time, even though
they often smile a lot, eh?
Multiple Planets in the 12th
House
You have to look at the inner experience, and the inner
experience of the 12th
house is “I am out of touch with
myself. I don’t know myself.” A lot of planets in the 12th
house can symbolize that you are a mirror of the
collective unconscious. It’s very challenging to get to the
bottom, core of your being because the bottom, core of
your being is a wormhole out into infinite, spiritual
reality.
We know Pisces and Neptune has to do with addictions
and escapism. That’s why it’s also jails, prisons,
hospitals, mental institutions, and places where you go
nuts. It’s the sewer system. A lot of planets there can be
people working with the sewers of New York City.
There’s a certain dreamy, unconsciousness there. It can
also be just oblivious. I’m oblivious to my surroundings.
I’m not really even here on this plane, in this body, in
this moment. I’m somewhere else, so I can have my
hands in nasty garbage all day. I’m not all the way here.
The 12th
house is also places that would disgust or freak
out other people. There’s a place for everything. So the
garbage dump or the sewerage treatment plant is a 12th
house place. Everything has a house. Everything has a
place in your astrological chart.
Q & A
Q: Can you speak about intercepted houses?
A: Yes. I don’t have a lot to say about intercepted
houses. I don’t pay that much attention to intercepted
houses myself, but I can repeat what I’ve heard from
other teachers and other people who do. I look at the
cusp of a house as where the inside meets the outside. If
you have 2 signs that are not on a house cusp, they’re not
getting "externalized." It’s more of a challenge to
connect those signs/planets to the outside world. It’s
more of an internalized experience. If you’ve got 2 signs
that are intercepted in opposite houses, then you’ll have
somewhere else in your chart where 2 other opposite
signs will rule 2 houses instead of one. If I’ve got Leo
ruling the 9th
and 10th
house, that makes my Sun that
much more important when interpreting the chart.
In chart interpretation, you work a lot with the planet
that’s ruling the house. There will be more of an
emphasis on those planets ruling 2 houses of the chart,
and there’s going to be a little less emphasis on signs
that are intercepted.
Another interpretation is that you have either one of two
things happening; look at the chart and the person. Look
at their evolutionary stage, and take all factors into
consideration. They have either not worked with those
two signs and that polarity and it’s buried, or they've
mastered it.
Put that into your chart interpretation, and tell me how it
goes for you. This is a research project. Astrology is
evolving through each one of you. As you do astrology
and take on astrology, you are expanding our
understanding of astrology. That’s what I love about this
science/art. It’s evolving very rapidly. We’re not dealing
with Newtonian physics here so much as quantum.
Another thing to keep in mind is that when there is an
intercepted sign, the house is more than 30 degrees, so
that’s a big house. A transiting planet, like Jupiter
perhaps, that orbits every 12 years and spends a year in a
sign, is going to spend more than a year in that house.
You’re going to have a few more experiences in that
realm or area of life.
Q: Can you give a brief explanation of Saturn in
Scorpio?
A: (*Laughing) Oh, because it’s transiting now. We have
this Mercury/Saturn transiting through Scorpio so let's
talk (Mercury) about Saturn. It’s going to be there for
2.5 years, and Saturn in Scorpio is it’s time to grow up
and own our shadows using other people, partnerships,
relationships, and our deepest intimate connections to
reveal back to us our stuff that needs to be transformed
and changed. We have a couple years of really deep
work. We're out of time now but I will be going more
into this in the next webinar series when we deal with
the transits and chart interpretation. Thank you for being
here today.
Aloha. Namaste. So Much Love.
