Aspects
Is the Semi-Sextile a Good Aspect or a Bad One? (07-Feb-11)
Guest
post by Donna Cunningham, MSW
Have you read or
been taught much about the semi-sextile? I’m guessing that you haven’t—in
most astrology writings, it tends to get shrugged off as a minor
aspect after a half-hearted sentence or two of description.
It’s a 30° aspect, plus or minus 2-3°. For instance, a planet in Aries may form a semi-sextile to a planet at approximately the same degree of either of the two adjacent signs, Pisces or Taurus.

Trines: Terrific or Tricky? (01-Aug-12)
When I was a young and eager astrology
student, I used to view every trine in a chart as a kiss by Lady Luck. It was
like getting one of those Community Service or Chance cards in Monopoly. “Bank
error in your favor. Collect $200.” Trines seemed like marks of grace on a
nativity. Now I’m not so sure
The Outerplanetary People Series was written for people with close aspects
to personal planets from the outer planets. I call us PUNCs for Plutonian,
Uranian, Neptunian Chironics.
Outerplanetary (Extraordinary) People, Part 1
of 5, Chiron (19-Oct-10)
Author's Note: This is an update of a five-part
series originally published in the 1990s in Mark Lerner's astrology magazine,
Welcome to Planet Earth. The Outerplanetary (OPP) People series has been a
timeless favorite ever since.
We live in extraordinary times. I
call them Outerplanetary Times, marked by the discovery in 1977 of a new outer
planet, Chiron. Chiron is trans-Saturnian. It acts like any other outer planet
with a similar level of impact.
Outerplanetary (Extraordinary) People Part 2 of 5, Uranus
(25-Oct-10)
In
Part 1, we explored the unique role of evolutionary pioneers—people who have
the outer planets prominent.
We started with Chiron, the “bridge” between the inner and outer
planets; now we’ll stop to explore Uranus.

With Neptune, a boundary is always the point — knowing when
something is too much or when have we gone too far. It's the point, beyond
which we ruin our effectiveness to help others and ourselves. Includes tips for activating positive Neptune.
Outerplanetary (Extraordinary) People, Part 4 of 5,
Pluto (12-Nov-10)
Pluto
asks more of Outerplanetary People than any of the trans-Saturnians. He asks to
let go and trust while everything we value is ripped away from us, often down
to the barest bones: home, hearth, spouse or lover, job, family. What good
is all this loss? Find out.
(23-Nov-10)
The importance of Chiron to
outerplanetary people can hardly be overstated. Chiron is the thread that
weaves together the tapestry of the outer planets as a living aggregate in our
charts. Chiron is the glue that makes outerplanetary people solid and capable
of handling the strong energies that they are asked to bring down to Earth day
by day—first for ourselves, then for others.

Aspect Patterns
These posts refer to what I call a series of big change transits in recent years.
Whadda ya say we all lighten up a little
on the Big Change Transits?
For years, I’ve written that the
discovery of Chiron in 1977 heralded a new species. I call our new evolutionary
line homo improvement. I don’t think anyone would argue that we could
use a new and improved human race, considering the havoc wreaked by the people
in the really “off”-shoot species, homo asinine. You know, the Missing
Their Link. The folks who destroy their home, wage bloody wars in the name of
the divine, and collapse an entire global economic system out of personal
greed.

Are you ready for the “second
Harmonic Convergence?” If you were gathering with large groups of like-minded,
cool and cosmic people on August 17-18, 1987, it’s time, once more, to focus
our minds on a single intent. Time to jumpstart a new level of inner evolution
and its impact on an Earth in metamorphosis.

What
supercharged change feels like.
Uranus Square Pluto: Seven
Exact Aspects, Seven Chakra
Realignments (05-Jul-12)
At UAC
2012, Aleksandar Imsiragic said that the seven exact hits of Uranus square
Pluto, the first on June 24, correspond to realignment of our seven chakras. I
deeply resonate to this idea, and it seems too important a concept not to
share.
Planets
in square create a tension of initial incompatibility that nags to be worked
out in some way to bring a workable energetic mix to the person or situation it
represents. Better said, squares evoke creative tension. It takes
creativity—the God stuff, if you will—to find your way out of the standoff.
When the squares make a Grand Cross, you have to find your way out of an
enclosed box. Whew!

The
first two articles of the year on the Radical Virgo speak to the winter
retrogrades and how they help prepare us for the spring Cardinal Grand Cross.
In capsule, the winter retrogrades are for reviewing relationships, desires and
direction.
The 2014 Creative Question - The Cardinal Grand Cross (19-Jan-2014)
We're
heading toward a Cardinal Grand Cross. Winter 2014 asks us to pause and
reconsider what's important to us—what's working and what's not in our personal
lives. Spring 2014 emboldens us to take action in an even bigger way
than the usual Aries charge into the natural New Year, as the sap rises in the
trees rises and human energy starts picking up with it.

Aspects and Timing

Electional astrology is the art of
timing, and its purpose is to give you the advantage by selecting the most
appropriate time to achieve a successful outcome. The date and time selected
are intended to strengthen the planets and the houses associated with the
subject of the election. The Moon carries the most weight in electional
astrology. She should always be strong, free from difficult aspects, and
favorably aligned with the planets ruling the election matter.
