Follow-up from above: another site gives my midheaven as Aquarius, but nothing more detailed than that, if this helps! Thanks again.

Oh! I just saw your reply. It shows me this:

You have Midheaven in Aquarius (11° 14' 06")

OP here.







Hi there, apologies again for that slight mishap.

You have had it rough for the past 2 years. It was a period of great risk and debt especially relating to career and profession, but now that period is almost over and the skies are much clearer for you. There's a bit of a challenge, though, and that's in the middle of the year, particularly from July to December 2020. During this time, you may have to revisit some of those risky situations that came up in the past and see them to their conclusion. In December, you can finally move on.

It would open up a successful few years for you and you are likely to achieve or manifest a longterm goal in 2021 in the field of higher studies. However, since this is the peak of your longterm success, you may also begin to face obstacles and hurdles to your further success, and there's a possibility of some delay in the middle of 2021. Try not to take it too badly -- you will still be doing well, but the Universe will then be setting some limits to what you can achieve so you can redirect your energies elsewhere other than success, like your emotional health and personal life.

2021 will involve some pressure, but also a chance to prove yourself, and you will have both challenges and opportunities to do this. You will receive some tests and feel limited in your mental powers, struggle with how to apply what you know, but this will open up a whole world for you and give you new possibilities as to what you want to do with your life. Passing examinations and/or obtaining certain credentials may be a primary concern. You may have the knowledge but putting it into practice is another thing altogether. It will be a year of intense study and learning, balancing theory with reality. In my opinion, you are likely to be successful, but it will take a lot of effort.

wow talk about doom and gloom....geez

just doom and gloom for me thanx

I want to learn this and teach my kids. What 2 books do you recommend?

I want information to memorize, not a bunch of waste of time books.

Please. I'll appreciate recommendations.

Can you give me a read?

OP here.



I've before heard that at some point later in life the ascendant takes over. Being a Stellium Scorpio, that's what I've always looked at.


I haven't heard of the Ascendant doing that, quite the contrary, but I've heard of the Sun and the North Node taking over at around 40.


What are the influences of Taurus on my life?

You have Taurus Mars retrograde in the 1st House which makes you quite driven to achieve security and stability in life. You'll fight for it, even in subtle ways (retrograde). But since it is retrograde, you may struggle to pursue these goals, as well as enforcing your boundaries against people. It also defers back to the opposite House (retrograde) so you are driven to accumulate wealth in order to provide for your partner.

With your Scorpio stellium in the 7th you can be quite demanding in a partnership, but also very devoted and generous. You seek partnership for pleasure (Venus), identity (Sun), growth (Jupiter), and spirituality (Neptune). You may find it hard to seek these by yourself but having a partner/companion helps.

With Taurus rising and a Scorpio stellium, you are extremely loyal as a partner, preferring to settle down for the long-term rather than switching it around, but you can be quite sensitive, possessive, and jealous, too.

With Taurus on the 1st and Scorpio on the 7th, you want to provide beauty, money, and resources to your partner. In return you want a fulfilling sex life, devotion, and genuine concern from them. A confidante who will love you for who you are.


What does the remainder of my life shape up to look like?

You've recently achieved a long-term goal relating to higher studies, long-distance travel, soul growth, and learning, a culmination in a way. The rest of the year will still be filled with responsibilities and professional exposure, but it will likely be the final major stretch for your public life. You are getting ready to settle down now, and will gradually do so over the next 14 years, focusing on your emotional security and personal life.


Any other advice or info you may offer?


To limit your responsibilities in the coming few years, don't over-accumulate them because once you get them they'll be hard to shake off. Keep helping others and being your generous self. To face your fears of the unknown and transcend them, offer them in the service of the Universe (and you will be rewarded).

OP here.





Hmm, sorry it came out that way. Allow me to explain why this has to happen, if it helps.

All of us have to go through particular cycles. It's because the Universe is fair and everyone has to have their time in the gutter, and the stars.

The reason you have to go through these things soon, is because you are going to build a longterm foundation (part of a cycle for everyone). And just like in constructing buildings, a strong foundation is extremely necessary for the stability of the building. Because for the years thereafter, you will gradually be constructing the building of your life, brick by brick. There will be no way but up. Then 14-15 years thereafter, the building will be finished and you'll be free to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

You've spent the past years free-falling (again, part of the cycle), and now you're almost ready to begin again. This beginning would be unlike your typical New Year's Resolution kind of flaky beginning, but a sturdy one. It will be a zeroing-out of many areas of your life.

There are major good things that can come out of this. Since you are building a foundation, you are in charge of many choices, like where to break ground. You will be free. Any unfulfilled dreams you may have had in your childhood, you may have your very chance to work on them. What's extremely important here is that WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO BY THE END OF THIS PERIOD (Jan 2023) WILL END UP BEING WHAT YOU DO FOR THE LONG TERM. From 2021 onwards, you are free to choose. Since you'll be away from the public eye, you will be free to do whatever you want without fear of repercussions (with reasonable risks of course, don't rob a bank). This will be your only window of exploring what you want to do for almost 2 decades thereafter (there may be some modifications along the way, but what you do in this period will always matter until the "building" is complete).

The reason this period also forces you to contend with your personal life, your family, your feelings, and other private concerns is because you must resolve all these before moving on and making the choice. So if your parents forced you to be a banker in the past but you really wanted to be a chef, that's a childhood issue you will have to contend with... this period will ask you: do you still want to be a chef? How badly? Is it really worth it, or are you more suited as an interior designer?

In short, before you move into a public life, you have some things to wrap up in your personal life. And because public life and professional success involves increased stresses and responsibilities, the Universe will help you fix and secure your emotional security first, so you will be well-armed to face such challenges that come with increased success.

As for the 2nd thing I said -- most Scorpios are going through it right now and it is doing them more harm than good. You don't have to be one of them. Release and forgive, for your own peace.

Well, I hope this clears some things up.

OP here.



I will need birth day, time, and place.

If you are uncomfortable divulging them, you can give me your

ASCENDANT
MIDHEAVEN
SUN
MOON
NORTH NODE

and I should be able to give you some helpful info already.

You can use these sites:

[link to astrolibrary.org (secure)] (for the MIDHEAVEN)

[link to alabe.com (secure)] (for the rest)

Kind of like the death card in tarot or the tower: many see as negative but can be positive? Maybe..I have lost drive for sure in the reality fed to us since birth and the whole gerbil on a wheel really doent do it for me anymore- maybe its my age along with being woken up to just how much bs our reality is made of.

OP here.



I appreciate your interest. Astrology is going to be more significant in the coming years, so you'll do well being ahead of the curve.

I started out with the books of Linda Goodman:

SUN SIGNS (PDF: [link to www.metaphysicspirit.com]

LOVE SIGNS (PDF: [link to www.docdroid.net (secure)]

RELATIONSHIP SIGNS

She does a great job of teaching the basics.

You will need your chart first, and most astrologers, myself included, prefer to use Astro.com, because of their quality images.

[link to www.astro.com (secure)]

It can be a bit complicated to use for a beginner, but it's worth it.

If it's really too complicated for you, here is a good basic website:

[link to horoscopes.astro-seek.com (secure)]

To start, you can use a notebook to list down you and your family's chart information. It would look something like:

YOUR NAME:
SUN - Aquarius
MOON - Gemini
MERCURY - Aquarius

and so on...

Then I suggest Googling descriptions of those placements to know more about yourself, like "Aquarius Sun astrology."

Doing this for your own and your family/loved ones' charts would likely occupy weeks or months of your time already. After doing this, you can move on to studying Signs, Planets, Aspects, Houses (note the House System as I mentioned above), Dignities, and other concepts.

If you have more questions and I'm still here, ask away.

Best wishes.

OP here.



Yes... or the World card. :)

Feeling like an old, tired soul is part of this process. The stage after the foundational stage is the "coming out" stage, which feels like a New Dawn has come.

I understand, though, that while going through the tunnel, the darkness is all there seems to be. It's hard to see that things will eventually get better while you are still in the gutter.

Hi Op, Could you analyse my chart?

00:53 23 June 1975 London UK

Would you mind sharing, from your eye, what that kind of transition looks like for me?

I began studying charts about 10 years ago, but especially now, some outside perspective would be most welcome.


With your permission, I'd like to respond to questions posted in the thread in regard to the study of astrology. Not requests for chart readings, just those inquiring on how to go about learning the language themselves. I know from experience how time and energy consuming this sort of venture here can be, so if I may lend a hand here and there just let me know.

edit to add: adding a chart might be helpful...lol
[link to i.postimg.cc (secure)]

ASCENDANT 12°43' Gemini
MIDHEAVEN 12°53' Aquarius
SUN 29°48' Capricorn
MOON 18°16' Libra
NORTH NODE 18°34' Virgo

Not sure if it matters, but Sun is conjunct Mars (@29°48'as well) and Moon is conjunct Pluto (less than a degree).

Thanks so much OP.

Hi OP I don't know my birth time and would love to recive a quick reading from you. Is it possible to do with out the time? and if so how accurate will it be?

OP here.



Something has occurred recently (or will occur very soon) that made you feel powerless against the forces that be or Fate itself. Perhaps you experienced a power play by an abusive authority, like your employer or the government, threatening your security (financial or otherwise). This made/will make you extremely angry, beyond what you thought possible. As you emotionally contend with what you perceived as a huge injustice, you were/will be brought into the farthest corners of power, as you struggle to restore your own. You may feel like you are in a "kill or be killed" situation and become ruthless.

(The timeline is ongoing, hence my need to be a little general/vague with the dates... it is occurring right now or within the next month.)

I would, respectfully, advise you to seek out the help of your most trusted friends in this difficult situation. They are likely to be willing to help you out, with some payback required of course. This isn't to say that they will charge you for their help, but some of them may need your help in return, too. You may have to be a confidante or companion in exchange. Not necessarily their fault, think of it as a mutual back-scratching. You are fiercely independent, which is why this may be a little difficult for you.

Right now, and over the next 2-3 years (except for July-December 2020), you may have to contend with emotional baggage and addictions. Your soul needs rest, for it is tired after the past decade of your professional efforts and public exposure. You will have to grow spiritually, immerse yourself in art/music/movies/video games, or get into a period of isolation or long journeys. Reluctantly I must say that addictions may help you cope in these times, but try not to go too far. To temporarily escape is the goal, because escape will help the soul rejuvenate. There are healthy ways to do this. Seek spiritual growth. The internet will be your relief, but try to limit your exposure to the darkness of it.

OP here.



Fixed this part. Sorry.

Thank you so very much, lovey....


A confidante who will love you for who you are.

OP here.



It would be great if you could do that, and thank you for your offer. I may even learn things from you as well. It's exactly why I feel knowledge should be passed around. You are right that this takes considerable time and energy. So feel free to answer what you're led to.

As for your question, seeing your chart you have the Sun and North Node in Virgo in the 11th House (I use the Whole Signs system after all). A transition around age 40 may look like this, in my eyes:

You've spent most of your life pursuing your hobbies and being artistic, expressive, or creative, but you may have felt useless because you were trapped in a small environment (like your family). This small environment cherished you, treated you very specially, but you may have felt a little too sheltered and useless there. Your innate need to be helpful and of service (Virgo) wasn't expressed in its fullest form.

At around age 40, perhaps you find yourself joining a group or organization and get exposed to more people, where you are not as special as you normally are, blending in with the others, but this group is able to utilize your help very efficiently, and you no longer feel as sheltered or useless. Your help matters here. Due to the needs of this organization and your desire to help society in general (11th House), you also find yourself working hard and developing some healthy habits leading to your well-being and happiness (Sun) as well as developing your sense of responsibility (Saturn). You will likely be part of the leadership in this group (Sun, Saturn). Your creativity may even be the very skill they need.

OP here.



Yes, readings can be done without a birth time. A birth time is necessary only to predict relationship and professional success and ensure certain placements are in a particular sign (in the case of 29/00 degree placements or so).

What I can tell you will still be accurate but more general. No birth time leaves me with about 50-60% info.

Greetings OP!
Your job is very amazing. I cannot believe that you are actually doing this.
Thank you so much for such readings for free.
Thank you, thank you!

If you have any energy left I would humbly ask you for any information about myself:

OP here.



Capricorns have been going through lots of tests and limitations in their careers and professions in the past 2 years. You just went through yours. You may have encountered a delay or blockage in your career very recently. There was a lot of risk and debt involved and you went through a long period of uncertainty.

However, your general trend is still upward, so you are likely still in the game, and the risks have begun to decrease now. The risks/uncertainties will be back temporarily from July to December, but it will be more of a "tying loose ends" scenario. July-August would be your most challenging period for the year due to personal and domestic concerns getting in the way of your work, but survive this and you'll be alright. The middle of the year will be rather slow for your career progress, but it will take off again around September-October. Towards the close of the year, you will be much freer and more optimistic.

Your challenge for 2021 would be to finish a goal relating to higher studies, learning, or long-distance travel. Your current worldview may go through a lot of changes. It seems to be a much more positive year for you and you'll be one of the more fortunate ones.

You may start getting some limitations or delays in your professional life and goals especially in the middle of 2021, but if you don't take it too badly you may realize that you're still doing very well and there are many blessings left. It is your peak year, after all, and peaks involve limitations from going higher, but it doesn't mean you have to lose what you already have if you take care of it.

Thank you OP, you described the last two years pretty bang on. I'm also feeling much better after reading your prediction for next year because I was been expecting the opposite (Pluto will be transiting my Sun/Mars conjunction starting around then I think).

By the way, the period of turmoil for me coincided with Pluto transiting my Mercury around two years ago. The situation at my job became so stressful and untenable that I ended up quitting. Also interesting that you mention a goal related to higher learning--as part of my new job, I've been doing a lot of coursework these past two years.

Thanks again, OP, you are a very gifted astrologer and a generous individual. Much appreciated.

Hi Op

I couldn't figure any else out but here

OP here.



Thank you for your appreciation. It's part of my mission here to share my gifts with as many possible and help heal wounds of the soul, and your gratitude makes it worth it. Knowing I have helped even just one person here is enough, and I'll leave this plane happily.

The Universe loves you, which is why it sometimes sends agents like me to help. To awaken the hope back in your heart and inspire you to seek the Infinite Creator and its Love and Light. Especially in a place like GLP where there are so many gifted souls but so much fear and anger. Know that the Universe has not forgotten you.

I may be imperfect, I may fail, and there are many who are much more skilled and evolved than I am, but I must keep trying.

Anyway enough drama on my part, and onto your reading...

----


There has been quite a lot of pressure for you to step up and be responsible over the past 2 years, and most especially the past few months, but since a few weeks ago, that pressure has somehow subsided. Your challenge now is to secure your resources and assets, so conserving them and making sure you have enough would be a good idea. You may have a considerable amount now but the next 2 years may gradually limit your funds/resources. Self-reliance is going to be important for you in the coming years.

Next month would be particularly difficult for your career, lots of pressure to perform and step up.

(I'm not sure but something tells me you're in the medical field, or at least an essential sector, so Godspeed and thank you for your service in these trying times. Take the necessary precautions. Protect yourself. Your physical body is more vulnerable now.)

From July to December, you may have to once again contend with the pressures and responsibilities you have recently carried, but this is more of a final chapter for those things. As you finalize your personal tasks and duties the blockages and challenges in your relationship sector will begin to wrap up too, and you may end up with a fulfilling partnership/romance by the middle to end of 2020.

The middle of the year will be a challenge but at the same time also a life-defining period for you as you will be called to work very hard (for you aren't used to working too hard and prefer to have lots of rest/isolation time). Discipline will also be essential. There will be some stresses and tests on your mind, skills, and hands/dexterity.

Thank you for all your questions today. I may be back in a day or so.

Can I get a reading OP?

Thank you very much OP. I appreciate your very clear interpretation. One more question I have always had regarding my chart concerns the Moon's Nodes. First I have 10th House SN in Cancer. And 4th house NN in Capricorn. Can you explain to me the significance of this reverse opposite configuration between signs and houses, and also your interpretation of the overall significance of the nodes in the chart. How can I best find a balance with these energies? Thank you again OP.

Thanks OP, you are accurate from what I can tell, no Dark Fury quite yet, but I am able to move within the fate flows to avoid or direct such a thing should it come to pass.

This chart: 22/08/2003, 5:05pm, London, England.

Powerful blood seal, to formally natalize that chart and connect it to my own. I was born with a Grand Square, when you include the Vertex, the 2003 chart is a hexagram.

What insight can you give me on this?

Also, my long term life process?

Are you going to be around on GLP for a while? There are things I would like to discuss further with you.
