Saturn Venus synastry contact: Maturity Adds Grace
Similar to the Saturn-Moon interaspect, a lot hinges on the Venus sign placement.
Venus in an Earth sign deals better with the responsibility and commitment
demanded by Saturn. If both parties are mature enough, the Venus person could
add the necessary social grace to the Saturn persons life.
Saturn Mars synastry contact: Controlled Energy
This relationshipcan breed a lot of resentment if the Mars person isnt able to
tolerate restrictions well. In a close relationship, it helps if you can work together
at doing something productive. Noel Tyl said the key to handling this aspect is in
realizing that energy (Mars) needs control (Saturn) in order to be channeled
effectively this seems to apply just as well in relationships (needless to say, this
contact is easier to handle in a business relationship.)
Saturn Jupiter synastry contact: Purpose and Progress
This can be a highly productive relationship, as Saturn and Jupiter

get one another and respect each others necessary functions (stability and
expansion.) As long as your long term goals are aligned, you will most likely
experience great teamwork in the areas affected by this contact.
Saturn Saturn synastry contact: Testing Your Own Complex
You will have this synastry contact if you were born within a few
months of each other (or, of course, if your ages are about 7 years apart, 14 years
apart, etc.) The key point is that you will strengthen each others natal Saturn
complex perhaps you might even represent the Saturn gure in the other
persons life (father, mentor, boss, etc.) This then becomes a test or a learning
experience to see how well youre handling the lessons implied in your natal chart.
Saturn Uranus synastry contact: Old vs New
In this relationshipthe Uranus person might present the Saturn person with a
shocking new idea, perhaps due to generation gap. Such new idea may be hard to
accept, or it could be ultimately liberating. Generalization is difcult, as both
planets move slowly enough to become a generational interaspect.
Saturn Neptune synastry contact: Special Inuence
Synastry between Neptune and Saturn could represent a spiritual or an aesthetic

inuence from the Neptune person, as long as the Saturn person is receptive to it.
In an extreme scenario, Neptune may represent something more sinister like
deception or inuence of alcohol, drugs, etc, but again its not possible to
generalize these slow moving interaspects. The Saturn persons role may be to
represent the sober but necessary truth, while the Neptune persons role may be to
open the Saturn persons eyes to a more joyful world.
Saturn Pluto synastry contact: Powerful Duo
Theinteraspect between your Saturn and someones Pluto (or vice versa)can be
heavy and serious, and carries with it an awareness of status or power. What is the
underlying motivation behind this relationship? Is the overall tone of
relationshipproductive or destructive? The right combination of people could
accomplish so much here.
Famous Example: Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak (Jobs Saturn
square Wozniaks Pluto).
Saturn Ascendant synastry contact: The Mentor
Since Ascendant is a point and not a planet, possibly the Saturn person could wield
more inuence over the formation of the Ascendant persons identity. This may be
a classic teacher-student combination. At the same time, if the age gap is reversed
(i.e. Saturn person being younger than the Ascendant person), the Ascendant
persons persona could inuence the maturation of the Saturn person.
Saturn Midheaven synastry contact: Career Impact
This can be a highly inuential relationship. The Saturn person can affect the
Midheaven person as an authority gure, and could shape the future professional
direction of the MC person. Here again if the Midheaven person is much older
than the Saturn person, the role could be reversed and the MC persons social
status can aid the Saturn persons professional development.
Summary: Saturn Synastry Builds Long Term Relationships

We need the pressure of responsibility Saturn represents to grow and accomplish
things, and this includes the pressure of committed relationships (here we include
a broad range of important relationships: marriage, teacher-student, even a
relationship to a group or a cause. )
The existence of a challenging Saturn interaspect in synastrydoes not doom your

relationship it simply makes it more real and meaningful, the longer you keep
learning from it.

Mercury Uranus Aspect: Innovative Ideas

MERCURY URANUS ASPECT ARCHETYPES

MERCURY IS HOW YOU NEED TO THINK
Mercury rules ideas,communication and information. Mercury

isnt necessarily the way you think and talk, but its positionand
aspect in your natal chart suggests how you need to think and
communicate in order to be effective.
Aspects to Mercury can modify what your mind needs in order to feel condent
(e.g. Saturn aspecting Mercury suggests a need for practical, structuredthought).
No planet is inherently negative or positive, soit helps to explore both possibilities
when looking at your Mercury aspect.
URANUS SPEEDS UPCHANGE
Uranus rules technology, revolutionandhumanitarian movement.

Uranus is a symbol offuture unfolding in front of us.
Uranusdisrupts the stagnant status quo by encouraging progress. When your

planet is touched by Uranus,it tends to become highly active (electried) within
your psyche.

Astrological Perspective of Signicant Events In Your Life

HIROKINIIZATO UPDATED:NOVEMBER5,2008
What we know about synastry can be

applied to key developmental events as
well. Take Saturn return for example:
Among other things, some women get
married or have a child (i.e. become a
mother) at that time.
In the case of a childbirth during

Saturn return, this suggests that the
babys Saturn will be conjunct the
mothers natal Saturn in a way, the
birth of the baby becomes the mothers Saturn, i.e. responsibility, necessary
control, hard work and growth in maturity.
In the case of a marriage during Saturn return, this implies that the event chart of
the marriage will have a Saturn very close to the natal Saturn of the woman in
effect, making the marriage itself the manifestation of her Saturn. Naturally the
marriage will act like Saturn should, to make her mature, grow, and be wise (and
frustrated at times!)
There are several insights that can occur from this way of thought:
If a new development (e.g. career, marriage, divorce, birth, death etc) occurs
during a key Saturnian time in your life (not just Saturn return, but also
including Saturn opposition and squares), the implication is that it is going to
have a Saturnian impact on you for a long time to come.
If a new development occurs during the Uranus opposition around age 42, then
(following the same pattern of thought) it will have a Uranian impact possibly
liberating and intensifying the ego. You can do this with Neptune and Pluto
also.
In the case of Jupiter, think of the Jupiter return that occurs every 12 years. The
event that happens at that time will be Jupiter-like, i.e. it may help to expand
your mind, give you opportunities to see more of the world, make you feel
more condent and optimistic, etc. This is because the event charts Jupiter
will be conjunct your natal Jupiter, affecting your horoscope in the same way.
Conclusion
Thinking about Saturn return and other key times in terms of the event chart and
synastry may give you a deeper insight into their meanings. For instance, you may
appreciate the implication of your birthday even more if you see that the birthday
events horoscope (also called a Solar Return chart) will have its Sun conjunct your
natal Sun, in effect having a Solar effect, making you feel self-aware, centered and
important.

Uranus and Neptune in Synastry Celebrity Example (Brad

Pitt & Angelina Jolie)
HIROKINIIZATO UPDATED:DECEMBER23,2007
The previous post brings to mind two theses:
1) Someone whose horoscope shows strong Uranian emphasis and not so much
emotional sensitivity component may have a difculty maintaining a deep, lasting
bond with others.
2) In synastry, strong Uranian tie without accompanying emotional (Moon, Venus,

Neptune) ties may not last, due to lack of the dependence factor.
Looking at Brad Pitts chart (12/18/1963 6:31AM Shawnee, Oklahoma), we notice

very little emotional/sensitive component that would enable the formation of
emotional bond: No emphasis on Water elements, Capricorn stellium, unaspected
Sun in Fire sign dominating the horoscope (dissociation complex); Mars ruling 5th
is at the Sun/Moon midpoint, fortied by Jupiter, Uranus-Pluto (sexual drive,
athleticism, empowered masculinity). And Uranus squares his Ascendant axis.
Indeed there is very little about Pitt that is weak, helpless and in need of support,
(see the Jung quote in previous post) and this isnt just about being put on a
pedestal as a male sex symbol, but more to do with his internal makeup; Absence of
Water emphasis necessitates a grand cause that would enable Pitt to feel
emotionally connected to the world.
Pitts divorce with Jennifer Aniston in 2005 occurred during he was experiencing
Uranus opposition and tr Neptune square Neptune: a very strong shift in life
perspective having to do with further individuation and emotional ideals. The
simultaneous intensication of Pitts relationship with Angelina Jolie (6/4/1975
9:09AM Los Angeles, CA) was much more than a sexual attraction, as well see
further.
The synastry chart between Pitt and Jolie provides interesting insights:
1) Jolies Neptune conjoins Pitts Ascendant axis her vision affecting his identity
core; also, Jolies humanitarian Jupiter (ruling 6th and conj her MC) impacts Pitts
Mercury-mindset.
2) Jolies Saturn opposes Pitts Mercury-Moon-Venus stellium: though being much
younger than Pitt, Jolie appears to be the one showing leadership in this
relationship.
These two points corroborate what happened: after getting involved with Jolie, Pitt
has transformed into an enthusiastic social activist, following her lead. Her
humanitarian activities gave him the grand cause he was looking for, to feel the
emotional connection to the world.
Another point of interest is that Jolies natal chart shows Uranus square Venus-
Ascendant, making this also a strongly Uranian chart, albeit with more emotional
emphasis (Cancer ASC-Venus).
The synastry shows strong Uranian conection between the two (his Uranus sq her
Sun, her Uranus sq his Moon-Venus): it seems they strengthen each other to
individuate further, meaning that as long as theyre looking in the same direction,
they wont get in each others way. Clearly this is not a relationship based on
dependence, but an alliance based on shared vision (which includes children).
Being strongly individuated, extremely non-dependent people, their relationship

may lack the deep emotional element to stabilize it; as long as their shared projects
(including raising children) remain meaningful to both of them in their paths
toward individuation, theyll continue to benet from the alliance. But after their
fascination with each other wears off (say, after getting legally married), such
projects may not be enough to hold them together.
Either way, Pitt has clearly found a new, meaningful dimension in his life from this
relationship, and that transformation is signicant enough, whether the
relationship lasts or not.

Unaspected Planets in Your Birth Chart: Gifts and

Challenges
HIROKINIIZATO UPDATED:JUNE4,2015
Unaspected planets in yourbirth chart are like wild, untamed animals within your
psyche. They can run away with your horoscope, becoming a dening trait within
your personality whether you approve or not.
Unaspected Planets: Denition
Unaspected planets, referred to as peregrine planets by Noel Tyl, are those planets
in your natal chart that lack any Ptolemaic aspect(i.e. conjunction, sextile, square,
trine or opposition) with any other planet.
Guidelines for Interpreting Unaspected Planets
1. Unaspected planets do not connect with the rest of the psyche much like
someone in a foreign land, it is disconnected from the surroundings, and
integration becomes challenging.
2. This can be mirrored as a feeling of disconnection in outer relationships,
especially if a key body such as Sun or Moon is unaspected.With unaspected
Sun or Moon,there may be a feeling that the world doesnt quite understand
you. You may march to a different drummer.
3. Unaspected planets can function either as strong talents or excessive,
overcompensatory habits: For exampleunaspected Mercury could suggest
someone whose emphasis on thoughts or speech is pronounced, like the
writer Norman Vincent Peale, who wrote The Power of Positive Thinking.
However,it could also suggest someone that talks incessantlyout of nervous
habit.
4. Unaspected planets may be interpreted as strong anddominant, or excessive
and vulnerable to isolation. Consider thesemultiplepotentialswhen you
interpretthe unaspected planets within your own birthchart.
Unaspected Planets: Possible Meanings and Keywords

Here are some keywords you may want to consider when exploring the
interpretation of unaspected planets in a horoscope.
Unaspected Sun: Intensied Ego Drive

A person with unaspected Sun tends to marchto a different drumbeat. There can
be strong emphasis on self expression and leadership, as well as a strong need for
ego recognition.
Unaspected Moon: Possible Emotional Disconnection

NatalMoon with no major aspects tends to magnifythe needs represented by
Moons sign. A good example is Steve Jobs, who hadunaspectedMoon in Aries
(the need to be Number One). Unaspected Moon possibly suggests emotional
disconnection from the parents, and later from other people. There may also be a
need to express a caring, nurturing or educational behaviorin order to connect
with the world.
Unaspected Mercury: Hyperactive Mind

Unaspected Mercury tends to emphasize an overactive mind, which could result in
nonstop talking, thinking, or worrying. If the wild mental energy can be
harnessedtoward a productive direction, unaspected Mercury can become a
strong asset providing you with impressive mental faculty
andcommunicationskills.
Unaspected Venus: IntensiedEmotions and Social Needs

Unaspected Venus magnies the emotional and social needs represented byyour
Venus sign.
For example, unaspected Venus in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces)

emphasizes emotional expression in relationships either as emotional drama, or
an ability to care deeply for others.
In contrast, unaspected Venus in earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus or Virgo)may

emphasize the material aspect of Venus, perhaps generating more interest
inbecoming nancially successful or secure.
In general theremay be an emphasis on being attractive, irtatious, charming or

understanding in order to be liked and appreciated (the archetypal expressions of
Venus).
Unaspected Mars: Untamed Energy

Unaspected Mars is like a wild horse powerful and potentially dangerous.You
may needa special focus for directing yourenergy, especially your anger. With the
right outlet for your energy, the re of motivation will keep you going for a long
time.
Unaspected Jupiter: Dominant Higher Mind

Unaspected Jupiter suggests emphasis on philosophy, education and international
or spiritual dimension. This tends to suggesta mind hungry for higherlearning.
Unaspected Saturn: Disconnected Father, Intensied Ambition

Unaspected Saturnpossiblysuggestsa lack of support from the father gure.
Emphasis on work accomplishment or self-discipline may compensate for initial
insecurity. Unaspected Saturn can also suggest intensied ambition, especially in
terms of Saturns sign and house placement.
Unaspected Uranus: Heightened Individuality and Progress

Unaspected Uranus suggestsintensied individuality, an eye for progress, and the
need for achieving social signicance. Inventor Thomas Edisons horoscope has
unaspected Uranus (using a tighter,4 degreeorb for sextile), Uranus being the
planet of invention and scientic progress.
Unaspected Neptune: Vision and Ideals

Though somewhat rare, unaspected Neptune may manifest as heightened aesthetic
sensitivity and strong ideals.
Unaspected Pluto: Power and Inuence

Unaspected Pluto cansuggest prominence, power and inuence. John F.
Kennedys horoscope has unaspected Pluto.
Summary: Integrating Unaspected Planets

Unaspected planets can be hard to tame. Integrating the unaspected planet into
our psyche may feel like trying to have a tall Westerner blend in with a crowd of
Japanese people it cant help but stand out.
Rather than trying to make unaspected planet conform to a social norm, you may
want tond a challenging outlet for itsenergy be it writing a book, learning a
foreign language, forming a nonprot organization, or practicing martial arts. With
positive direction, unaspected planets can become your strongest asset.
Do you have an unaspected planet in your horoscope? (Remember were only

counting conjunction, sextile, square, trine or opposition here.) How does it get
expressed in your life? Please feel free to share your experience in thecomment

Archetypal Scenes of Life: Metaphors for Transits &

Progressions
HIROKINIIZATO UPDATED:SEPTEMBER7,2009
Planets dont do anything, people do is an oft-repeated phrase that astrologers

use to discourage fatalism. With this in mind, what do transits and progressions
do?
My view is that astrological transits prepare the environment in which you exercise
your free will. In looking at upcoming
transits and progressions, a part of
astrologers work is to capture the
quality of the environment that is
being prepared for the client.
Consider the following archetypal

scenes, each with a set of possible
astrological measurements:
1) The Scene of War: There is a power struggle between two opposing forces. This
can be a literal war between two people, or an internal war fought within your
psyche, between the two selves. Does the ght result in a victory or a stalemate?
Does either side win? What happens as a result?
Example: Uranus and Saturn represents the New and the Old, respectively, and
when these two planets are in hard aspect, there is a clash between the old and the
new.
Noel Tyl stated that whenever this happens, Uranus must win. Note that the two
planets were in exact opposition during the 2008 election; President Obamas
victory represents that people collectively voted for change (Uranus.)
If Uranus transits your natal Saturn, consider similar battles taking place within
your life or your psyche. Another important point in your horoscope is the
Sun/Moon midpoint, as it represents a point of psychic union (or separation), and
heavy transits to this midpoint can also stir up long standing issues between the
opposing forces within you.
2) The Beginning: There is a beginning of a new journey or an adventure. This can

be a new job, new relationship, or a new place to live in. What story will unfold?
What changes will you go through as a result of this new journey? Where are you
going?
Example: Ascendant and the Midheaven axes are the threshold of life development.
Transits to these points often coincide with new beginnings and new directions.
3) The Setback: the protagonist faces considerable odds, perhaps going back to
square one, seemingly lost. This can be the literal loss of a job, health or
relationship. Or it could be an internal setback being paralyzed by fear or
disappointment with self. The story halts for a moment the pause can last a long
time the question is, what will it take for you to move through the setback?
Example: Saturn transit can provide such challenging environment, wherein your
only option seems to be to persevere with your effort (you could always give up,
but that doesnt make for a particularly good story unless you decide that you
shouldnt have begun that particular project in the rst place. That happens too.)
Summary
So you can see that the list of archetypal scenes and their astrological
correspondence can be quite long if we keep exploring. If you want to play with
this idea, please feel free to email me or leave comments with an archetypal scene
of life, along with possible corresponding astrological measurements.

Midpoints in Astrology: Gain Deeper Insight from a Natal

Chart
HIROKINIIZATO UPDATED:JANUARY24,2015
What You Will Learn in This Article:

Denition of Astrological Midpoints
Midpoint Notation and How to Read it
Useful Metaphors for Interpreting Midpoints
Examples of Some Midpoints
Transit or Solar Arc to Midpoints
Midpoints in Synastry
How to Calculate Midpoints
Recommended Books
The study of midpointscan help you gain additional insight into natal chart and
transit/solar arc interpretation. Although it is frequently called an advanced
technique, its principleis quite easyto grasp, as youll see below.
Denition of Astrological Midpoints
The base premise of midpoint interpretation is this: A planet located equidistant

from two other planets (i.e. midpoint between two planets) has a relationship to
both planets. In practice we also include the Angles (Ascendant and Midheaven) as
well as planets in midpoint interpretation.
Standard Midpoint Notation: Above Picture Reads Mercury equals Saturn Pluto, which means
Mercury makes a hard aspect to the midpoint of Saturn and Pluto.
Midpoint Notation and How to Read It

The midpoint method relates 3 astrological symbols togetherby way of one planet
being in the middle of 2 other planets. This is writtenas:
A = B/C
B/C isthe midpoint of planets B and C. A is the planet in the middle (midpoint) of
B and C.
The equal sign = meansthat planet A makes a hard aspect (conjunction, square or
opposition) to the midpoint of planets B & C.
(We only consider hard aspects for midpoint interpretation, asthey energizelife
development and change.)
Regarding B/C: Slower (i.e. further from the Sun) planet inuences the faster
(closer to the Sun) planet.
Regarding A (i.e. the planet aspecting the midpoint): it will affect the midpoint, or
be affected by the midpoint again, depending on itsapparent speed (see
metaphor below.)
Useful Metaphors for Interpreting Midpoints

Picture yourself as a child, and in between your parents. Being in the middle, you
were greatly affected by the quality of their interaction (e.g. were they warm or
cold toward each other? Did they argue a lot or ignore each other? Etc.) In the
same way, a planet in the midpoint of two other planets that are more powerful (i.e.
that have slower orbits) will be greatly affected by their interaction.
Now consider another metaphor: This time picture yourself as the adult, sitting
between your two children. Just by being in their middle, you affected the quality
of their interaction (e.g. they either behaved themselves better, or became more
obnoxious toward each other by trying to compete for your attention, etc.) In the
same way, a powerful planet in the midpoint of two lesser planets will strongly
affect their interaction.
Example of Some Midpoints

Mercury/Jupiter midpoint Rewarding and Expansive Communication:
Jupiter (being the slower planet) inuences Mercury: So this midpoint
represents the experience of being rewarded (Jupiter) for ones
communication. Any planet in hard aspect to this midpoint will carry this
sense of expansive communication. This is why MC (midheaven) =
Mercury/Jupiter often denotes a professional writer.
Venus/Mars midpoint Passionate Involvement:
Mars inuences Venus: Romance and relationship is heated up, made
passionate. This is the midpoint of sexual and artistic passion. Saturn placed
at this midpoint (Saturn=Venus/Mars) will necessitate restraint on passion,
whereas Jupiter or Uranus placed here may intensify thepassion to excess.
Sun/Moon midpoint Relationship Fulllment:
Sun inuences Moon: Ones Reigning Need (Moon) is fueled by Life Energy
(Sun). This is the strongest point of individual need fulllment, and thus it has
to do with relationships and self-acceptance on a deep level. Neptune placed at
this midpoint (Neptune=Sun/Moon) may suggest bewildering experiences in
relationships, whereas Saturn placed here will necessitate growth and maturity
in relationships.
Transit and Solar Arc to Midpoint

Even without any natal planet or point to occupy it, a particular midpoint can be
activated via transit or solar arc. For instance,a prolonged transit of Uranus to
Mercury/Jupiter midpoint could excite the expansion of communication, perhaps
resulting in new ideas or fresh business deals.
An outer planet transit or solar arc to yourSun/Moon midpoint can havea deep
impact on your relationships and self-image.
Midponts in Synastry
Another persons planet or an Angle contacting your midpoints could be
signicant, especially in the case of a Sun/Moon midpoint. If youre interested in
the synastry interaction of the Sun/Moon midpoint, check out this post on
Sun/Moon Midpoint in Synastry.
How to Calculate Midpoints

You could simply calculate the degree difference between 2 planets or points and
divide in half. To obtain a full list of all midpoints in your natal chart, you can
follow the steps in this post.
If you have an astrological software that calculates midpoints, you can print a 90
degree sort table, or Midpoint Tree in order to get all midpoint pictures in your
natal chart.
Usually an orb of 1.5~2.0 degrees is suggested to calculate midpoints.
Summary and Recommendation for Further Study

Over the last 15years Ive studied well-known works on midpoints interpretation
by various astrologers, and use them regularly in my consultation practice. They
truly offer a fascinating additional dimension to the interpretation of natal chart
and transit & Solar Arc development.
Because study of midpoints is a huge subject, it would take a lot more than this
introductory post to cover adequately. For those of you whod like to study more,
Id recommend these books:
Noel Tyls midpoint interpretation book is available as an appendix to his popular

book Solar Arcs, or his 1000 page text Synthesis & Counseling in Astrology.
Don McBrooms book Midpoints also offers an alternative interpretation that is

quite helpful to anyone who wants to usemidpoints in an empowering way.
There are other well-known works on midpoints, notably by Reinhold Ebertin

(Combination of Stellar Inuences), but the above mentioned books are more
modern and accessible compared to this 60+ year-old text.
Do you have an interesting midpoint picture that gives additional insight into your
character and motivation? Please feel free toshare through comments below!

Grand Trine and Necessary Defense Mechanism

HIROKINIIZATO UPDATED:AUGUST20,2011
In Synthesis and Counseling for

Astrology, Noel Tyl goes into depth
regarding the Grand Trine aspect
structure. He denes the Grand Trine
as a protective moat of self
sufciency, self-containmentthe
separation from relationship because
of the self-containment. (P285 in
Synthesis and Counseling, 1st ed.) Here
are some of his thoughts from the
book:
If the Grand Trine exists without involving the Sun or the Moon, the defense
mechanism might operate separately from the core need energy of Sun-Moon
blend there usually will be a schism between these two separate themes.
Water Grand Trine suggests a closed-circuit of emotional self sufciency (Ive
been hurt too many times I dont want to be hurt any more.)
Air Grand Trine is a closed circuit of social or intellectual self sufciency (I can
get along just ne by myself, thank you. a defensively useful superiority
complex.)
Earth Grand Trine a closed circuit of practical self sufciency (i.e. I dont
need your help.)
Fire Grand Trine a closed circuit of motivational self sufciency: You cant
tell me anything I dont know or I know exactly where Im going and I dont
need your energy to get there a do-your-own-thing type.
In many cases it is a leftover defense mechanism from tough childhood, where one
needed to protect him/herself from hostile or unstable environment. Hanging on
to such defense mechanism may hurt the development of intimacy in later life.
With all that said, here I will make additional suggestion: perhaps this defense
mechanism is necessary even in adulthood, if one is destined to face tough
opposition from others in the course of his/her journey for fulllment.
The defense mechanism and utter self-containment of the Grand Trine insulates
ones psyche from harsh criticisms and hostile oppositions from the world
perhaps not perfectly, but enough to keep one going forward.
Consider these examples:
1) Apple founder and technological evangelist Steve Jobs has two Grand Trines
(Fire GT of Pluto-Mars-IC; Water GT of Jupiter-Uranus, Saturn, DSC). As the man
on the cutting edge of electronics/computer revolution, I bet he had to be willing
to face oppositions, doubts and even redicules of others in order to bring his vision
to pass wouldnt he need a thick skin, to NOT need peoples approval?
2)Muhammad Ali as noted in the Leo rising post below, the defense mechanism of
Alis Earth GT most likely insulates him from the psychological pressure and
attacks from his opponents. Wouldnt a ghter need that defense mechanism in
order to keep ghting?
3)Dalai Lama XIV two Grand Trines (Water Sun, Jupiter, Saturn; Earth Moon,
Uranus, DSC). In a different way, he also had to ght most of his life in struggle for
his countrys freedom. Weaker souls might have collapsed under pressure but
there is a psychological defense mechanism that protects the sensitive core.
4)Martin Luther King Jr. (GT involving Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn) Again, he had to
face extremely difcult opposition in the course of civil rights movement and he
needed that defensive moat of psychological protection.
So even in adulthood, Grand Trines defensive mechanism may be a necessary

psychological resource, if youre doing something controversial and have to go
through tough oppositions and criticisms. The key may be to know who your
opponent is, and to be able to let others in that are safe, so you dont remain totally
isolated.

The Solution Exists Within the Problem

HIROKINIIZATO UPDATED:AUGUST20,2011
Einstein said that signicant

problems in life cannot be solved by
using the same level of consciousness
that created them.
In astrological terms, signicant

problems are usually denoted by hard
aspects from Saturn and the outer
planets that are not integrated very well in our psyche, whether in natal chart or in
transit/Solar Arcs.
List of Potential Issues For Each Planetary Symbol

Here are some of the issues related to each planetary archetype when it is under
developmental tension (i.e. hard aspects from the heavier planets):
Sun issues of identity (think self doubt and lack of condence)

Moon issues of needs and emotions (loneliness, self-abandonment)
Mercury issues with thoughts (depression, anxiety, negativity)
Venus issues of emotions and relationships (dysfunctional social patterns)
Mars issues of anger and its various expression (rage, passive-aggressive
behavior)
Jupiter issues of excess (too much drama, too much food, too much pride)
Saturn issues of fear, delay and blockage (authority problem, lack of
responsibility)
Uranus issues of isolation and exile (feeling wrong about self for being
different)
Neptune issues of loss of self (giving away of self, escaping from self,
suppression)
Pluto issues of extremism (Add extreme to any of the above problems)
Archetypes manifest differently for different levels of consciousness. The

signicant problem that we have today is a result of our choosing to stay on the
same level of thinking that caused the problem in the rst place. The thing to do,
then, is raise the level of consciousness in terms of the planets that are involved.
List of Potential Solutions (or Gifts) from Each Planetary Symbol

In shifting our consciousness, the archetype offers its own gifts and resources:
Sun the gift of self expression (think: I am unafraid to show my talents and
creativity)
Moon the gift of nurturing the self and others (I love myself and therefore I
will take care of myself and those I love)
Mercury the gift of thinking and communicating effectively (There is another
way to look at this situation)
Venus the gift of love for self and others; the gift of aesthetic perception (I
love and like myself because of such and such qualities I value myself and
others for who we are I appreciate the beauty that is around me)
Mars the gift of effective action and self assertion (I act in ways that support
rather than sabotage my goals in life)
Jupiter the gift of generous giving and enthusiasm (I give out what I want to
receive)
Saturn the gift of discipline, integrity and necessary self control (I have the
power to make a difference in my life. I choose to do the right thing because it
is the right thing to do. I act with honor.)
Uranus the gift of independent, innovative thinking (I dont have to follow
the herd. Who I am is just as valid as anybody elses identity I have a special
gift to offer for the world.)
Neptune the gift of creative inspiration, and total absorption in the moment
(I am more than my ego. I am this peaceful presence that witnesses all my
experiences right now.)
Pluto the gift of empowerment (I am deeply in alignment with my purpose
for being on this Earth.)
Examples
Neptune in conjunction, square or opposition to Venus may rst manifest as
losing the self in relationships (combine the key words in the rst set. But if we
shift our consciousness, it becomes a gift to create beautiful things (as in art or
music); to be absorbed in the contemplation of beauty; or relating to others
inspirationally, with self love
Pluto in hard aspect to Mars can suggest a problem with extreme anger, but if we
choose to, it becomes a gift of empowered action and self assertion
Saturn in hard aspect to Mercury can suggest fearful or depressed mind but can
also become the disciplined thought and communication (which is what you need
if you want to write a book or a dissertation, etc.)
Summary: Meditation on Symbols

Contemplating the challenging measurements in your natal chart (along with their
corresponding real-life difculty) may yield surprising shift of awareness, when
you ask the question What are the gifts (and the solution) within this problem that
I havent noticed yet? Such thoughtful meditation could yield many fruitful
insights.
Do you have a particularly difcult measurement in your horoscope that youve

been aware of for a long time? Can you shift the meaning of the planets involved in
order to appreciate the gift within the situation? Was there a solution that came
from within the same symbolism? Please feel free to share your experience
through emails or comments.
