Absolutely Psychic Network - Astro Chart Report part 16

Jupiter figured earlier in this analysis. Now we meet it again. As you may recall, this is the planet of possibilities and the seizing of opportunities. Jupiter currently sextiles your natal Ascendant. The action peaks March 25, 2011. Let's first understand that the action is in the Second House, for that's where Jupiter is currently located in your chart. We've met this house before. As you may recall, it has to do with self-confidence, especially when that confidence is rooted in your personal resources -- and that means more than just money. The time has come to act in the spirit of Jupiter, as we just described it, and to claim the skills and material you need. But what's the point? What are the real questions? The answer lies with the Ascendant, which is being invited into development during this time of solidification and consolidation in your life. Like the rest of us, you are a complicated, paradoxical individual, full of contradictions and undercurrents. That's human. But another part of being human is that, like the rest of us, you need to get out of bed in the morning and put on a streamlined, simplified social mask that allows you to function in the social beehive. There's no way that you can have a truly intimate relationship with every face you see in your daily life, nor would you likely want such connections. So we all keep much of what we really are behind our astrological Ascendant, which symbolizes that mask. Physically, it is simply the sign that was dawning in the east at the instant of your birth...and symbolically it represents how you "dawn" on people who don't know you very well. When triggered by a passing transit or progression, the Ascendant signals the need to make some adjustments in the way you present yourself in the social world, so that your outer appearance remains reasonably aligned with who you have become inwardly. The work is superficial; which is not to say unimportant. Often it has to do with changing how you hold your body, the way you speak, and the clothes you wear. The two factors, as we mentioned, are linked by a sextile -- traditionally seen as a "harmonious" or "mutually enhancing" aspect, often full of fast-paced events and emotional stimulation. Saturn played a role earlier in this account. Now it emerges again, in a new way. To refresh your memory, Saturn is ultimately the planet of maturity. It always places a strong emphasis upon hard work, decisive choices, and persistence. Saturn currently trines your natal Ascendant. The energies crest April 7, 2011; August 15, 2011. Let's start unraveling the symbolism by first understanding that the action and the developmental invitation are most evident in the part of your life we call the Eighth House -- a familiar territory, since it figured earlier in our analysis. Again it demands our attention, for Saturn is currently passing through it. Moody intensity dominates as old emotional injuries come up for review and rehabilitation -- processes inseparable from an intimate dialog with a certain person with whom you can speak frankly about difficult topics, and can do so in the spirit of Saturn, which we just described. But what's being triggered most deeply inside you? The answer lies with the Ascendant, which is being invited into development during this season of probing psychological exploration and shared emotional risk. The natal Ascendant -- that, as we have seen, represents your style, how you go about translating your inner worlds into the two-dimensional framework of daily social interactions. The two factors, as we mentioned, are linked by a trine -- traditionally seen as a "good" aspect, but more accurately seen as simply enhancing or supportive. Generally speaking, with trines there is an opportunity...but to seize it, you must supply the initiative. The progressed Moon figures in our thinking again. As you may recall, the Moon shows what you are feeling. It gives us insight into your mood, concerns, and general attitude...into "where your heart is," in other words. Let's first understand that the action is in the First House, for that's where the Moon is currently located in your chart. We've met this house before. As you may remember, it has to do with the assertive choices you make and the confidence with which you present yourself. Something is now occurring in which your own action -- or inaction -- is the pivotal variable. But what's the point? What are the real questions? The answer lies with the Ascendant, which is being invited into development during this new beginning in your life. How is the progressed Moon currently impacting on you? It is conjunct your natal Ascendant: April 27, 2011. In thinking about this, remember that progressions are slow-motion events, and that this event simply peaks then; it will be affecting your mood for a period of two or three months on either side of that date. The natal Ascendant -- that, as we have seen, represents your style, how you go about translating your inner worlds into the two-dimensional framework of daily social interactions. The two factors, as we mentioned, are linked by a conjunction -- the most powerful of the geometric aspects and one that suggests convergence, intensification, and often a new beginning.
