Aspects for the week beginning 20 April 2008
It’s already afternoon, and I have missed blogging about the Full Moon which fell exactly opposite my Descendant, and am also behind in sending out the Moonpod questionnaires…The Scorpio Full Moon is a particularly intense one especially emotionally, as by now you will be able to testify. However, teatime will give you a chance to reassess and reaffirm how much your nearest and dearest mean to you, and how much life itself means, as the Sun trines Pluto. Tomorrow the Sun trines Saturn, completing a Grand Trine with Pluto, and so the best-laid plans can come to fruition. It’s a good day for instance for finalizing mortgage plans even in this tricky economic climate, if you have done your research and proceed with seriousness and commitment. Tuesday (22nd) brings another trine, this one more upbeat, in the shape of Mars trine Uranus. This one could favour buying electrical equipment (so long as you can’t find a more ecological wind or solar-powered alternative), or for renewing your energies and aligning them with progressive Aquarian values. Come Wednesday (23rd), your energy signals may be giving out the wrong messages, e.g. flirtatiousness when you meant Platonic ideals, as Venus squares Mars. So just as you have got your energy right with the planet, it all goes pear-shaped in your social interaction. More adjustment therefore to be made: you know when you’ve got the vibe right, it’s all trial and error, two steps forwards and one step back. Your body language needs a little more fine-tuning: the little finger may need to be at a slightly different angle in relation to your tea-cup, and beware of a false move of the eyelash…More fun and games on Thursday (24th) again concerning your energies and possibly with men in your life, with Venus square Jupiter (more social faux-pas) and Mars by now opposing Jupiter. This time your sense of humour could go a little too far. In an effort to compensate on your body language, you could find yourself using inappropriate laughter where someone else’s sensibilities are set to deadly serious. Or maybe you are on a mission to wheedle out the funny bone from the Bank Manager, or tickle the train ticket Inspector. Seriously it’s a day you may observe that people are taking risks, but the bread is likely to land butter side down. If the stakes are not too high, then maybe you can experiment with pushing the boundaries. Friday (25th) is totally different in mood with Venus sextile Neptune. After days of dubious shenanigans, Venus settles to cosying up to the upcoming North Node/Neptune conjunction. It is smoothing the path relationship-wise, artistically, musically and harmoniously, enabling the more refined possibilities to emerge from that combination. Venus is good at supporting, and so there may be some delicate supporting going on between people. Important dates and appointments are coming up for people, and those around them may be lending gentle encouragement from the wings. It’s time to foster the best in human nature, and put criticism on a mute button. Neptune conjoins the mean North Node on Monday and Tuesday (28th/29th April), and I hope I have drummed up enough interest in this fascinating conjunction to set up a forum.

Dear Lana… hooray… I’m the first to comment! I too have missed the full moon and will make it right with her soon, later this afternoon, after the garden centre! I absolutely love your image of the little finger and the tea cup! Thanks for that giggle… Wed and Thurs look decidedly dangerous pour moi….. and a certain person… I had better be on my best behaviour and i sincerely hope he is on his! I am looking forward to this conjunction now. It seems a time for real movement forward. Thanks Lana. My Sunday is now complete… oh, I forgot, I still need to do my moon meditation then it will be! 🙂

Okay,second attempt,computer playing up again. Now, where was I,oh yes,I have 2 potentially difficult visits to make this week. People I have not been in touch with for some while. They are both elderly and demanding, but no good reason for me to have overlooked them. I guess. Anyhow, not sure which days to choose so will let intuition take over, and charm when I get there. Ha. Time to clear my conscience perhaps, and move ever on. Thanks for all this info Lana.

My daughter and her father have north node (daughter) conjunct chiron (the father) exactly natally; his chiron is conjunct the angle of the seventh house in aquarius (24 degrees)…right now transiting neptune is conjunct their synastric north node and chiron exactly. My daughters north node is in her tenth house which is ruled by aquarius (uranus). eventually transiting chiron will conjunct both their north node and chiron giving him a chiron return; currently she is experiencing a north node return…transiting north node is conjuncting her natal north node. I have always thought their mutual north node chiron natal conjunct important, especially to her father whose chiron sits on the seventh house angle exactly. I do not have insight into their relationship as we are divorced, she is 18 and independent (she flys helicopters, he is a computer hack–successful to the nth degree). Looking into the future, they will eventually have his natal chiron, her natal north node conjuncting neptune and jupiter in aquarius. I am hoping this is all good but am wondering if you have any insight to what this might mean for them.

Dear Donna
Thankyou for your question. The triple conjunction is fascinating, but when combined with synastry and karmic relationships it becomes even more so. I wonder whether any of your planets are involved…you sound like a wistful observer. You have reminded me that the triple conjunction is taking place against a backdrop of Aquarius, a detached and independent sign, and so this event has something of that nature, even though Neptune is involved. Chiron on 7th House can push relationships into a constant need for healing and search for identity through them. The conjunction with your daughter’s North Node does of course indicate a strong karmic bond, in that they will bring out each other’s Inner Healer, and the time may be now for that to happen. That may enable him to make the best use of his Chiron return when it comes and turn his life around if it needs turning around. Your daughter will be experiencing a major awareness of her karmic standing, and of her relationship with her father. But with or without the relationship, her karmic mission and life path could take shape now. These transits as they occur will magnify the natal bonds and very likely translate into life-changing events and major learnings (they may swap skills). There could be some uncomfortable adjustments now, which will facilitate easier changes in the middle of next year when Jupiter transits, as I am sure you know. One thing is for sure – there will be surprises involved as per the Aquarian vibe, and I hope that she or they let you know what transpires. As part of your ex-partner’s relationship history you probably feel that his Chiron/Descendant holds some representation of you, and with your daughter’s North Node also there that point represents the family connection, so you will probably tune into events or the Universe will send you a sign or symbol as things occur.
Love Lana

Thanks Lana, my daughter is in the midst of determining her career. SHe is attending the local university but she also is a helicopter pilot. Her father wants her to pursue an academic career of which she is well qualified to do so but her intellect causes her to not want to sit in classrooms (she has an IQ over 200). Her father is a very successful “nerd” by any monetary measure. He also has a mutable square that takes place on all his natal angles, pisces (0 degrees), gemini (4 degrees), virgo and sag. She rises in Taurus at 22 degees (but is a libra at 10 degrees), and has leo at the 4th house at 3 degrees. I am concerned he will divert her from a path she needs to take right now making her extremely unpredictable…he consistently feels a need to direct her path in life, I think because of their natal chiron north node conjunction (synastry). Perhaps she wants his direction and asks but because he has a wound, he cannot adequately direct her right now. I believe she is more of his “teacher” than vice versa. She sees many things but remains silent, at least for now. I, as her mother, believe she will eventually figure life out, maybe when she is 25…right now, she can be successful with the helicopter and attend college but if he pressures her, I believe he will have her in some academic environment on the east coast (he is from New York City). I suppose my motivation is to get her working in my film company making documentaries as she is very quick on the technology!

No, none of my planets are involved in the neptune/chiron/north node/(Jupiter) conjunction except perhaps a sextile to my north node in aries at 25 degrees and a trine to my uranus at 26 degrees in Gemini. I have nothing in aquarius otherwise. I have moon/mercury at 23 degrees pisces, jupiter at 26 degrees capricorn and saturn at 0 degrees virgo. venus and mars are at 0 degrees aries and my midheaven at 0 degrees aries..i rise at 20 degrees cancer.

Thanks, Donna, for filling in the missing colours. You have a great network of planets between 23 and 26 degrees, which gives you a tremendous breadth of consciousness for film-making. The network also connects you up with the triple conjunction, and the connection between your daughter and her father. I have enjoyed the view from your part of the Universe! Love, Lana
