Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Like every other astrologer in the world, I cast a chart for the 911 attack in NYC. Then I remembered that the WTC had been attacked the previous decade. It seem natural to use the earlier bombing as a basis chart and see how the angles had precessed up to the 911 event. That wasn't too impressive. So, I said to myself, " Self, there has to be another root chart that both events would relate to. " I couldn't find one. Then, since I use cyclic charts, I decided to check major conjunctions and to test them. According to CSI, Ebertin's Combination of Stellar Influences, the Saturn-Pluto combination seemed to have all of the characteristics of a terrorist: Hard labour, cruelty. tenacity and toughness, endurance, a hard and unfeeling disposition, also cold-heartedness. severity, tendency to violence, a fanatical adherence to one's principles, a martyr, violence, etc. The Saturn-Pluto chart is for Nov. 8, 1982 at 12:37 AM for a NY location. Used as a basis chart for 9-11, just to cite one example, I computed the prior and following SR charts, then calculated the progressed (by 1.25 degrees/day for the MC, approximately) chart for the 9-11 event. The same angles for the SA-PL conjunction chart had come up on the chart angles progressed for that day. Mars/t was at the MC, Moon/t and Jupiter/t at the IC, Mercury/t opposite the ASC. Now, I use the arc-angle from the ASC-to-MC and project it from the MC towards the DSC angle area. That new point I call the Co-DSC. Mars/conj. chart was exactly there. Two angular Mars's are tough no matter how you want to interpret them. So, this is how I do some of my work. The SA-PL conjunction chart also seemed to work for the other events.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Our messages are crossing here. Using the Saturn-Pluto conjunction chart was based on the meanings of those two combined planets as being somewhat congruent with the way you would describe terrorist's operations and attitudes. More so than other combinations, IMHO. I cast that conjunction relative to NYC because that was where the terrorist attack took place. That gave me a " time " and a " location " which was enough to start checking its validity. The next step was to do a SR prior to 9-11 and following 9-11. The ST for these two charts was 18h 35m 25s and 00h 44m 00s respectively. Here are the calculation steps I followed: DETERMINE YEARLY PRECESSION TIME * Following S/R ST time: 00 44 00 * Earlier S/R ST time: 18 35 25 * Subtract; diff. in time: 6 08 25 * Add 24 hours, result: 30 08 25 * Convert to decimal: 30.14027 DETERMINE S/R to EVENT RATIO * Event Day # 616 (same as 254) * Earlier Day #331 * Interval 288 days * Interval divided by 365.25 equals .788501 of a year DETERMINE INTERMEDIATE S/R CHART TIME * Yearly Precession Time multiplied by S/R Event Ratio Converted from decimal to hourly value = 23h 45m 56s * Equation of Time factor: Plus 10 m * Adjusted interval = 23h 55m 56s * Minus earlier S/R ST 18 35 25 * Progressed/precessed Chart time of 18h 31m 21s * For NYC this gives an MC of Capricorn 7, an ASC of Aries 13 and a Co-DSC (equal arc angle from MC) of Libra 1. I'm pulling out old charts and scratch sheets as I write this. Against the progressed/precessed/intermediate chart angles (MC @ 7 Cap, ASC @ 13 Aries, Co-DSC of 1 Libra) we have the actual event date and time angle reversed (MC @ 14 Cap, ASC @ 14 Libra). I discovered something back in the 1970's. Since the MC can be moved from one S/R to the next S/R at a rate of approcimately 1.25 degrees, or 5/4 of a circle as Fagan pointed out, we have two unique situations arise in any year. Consider this. Around 4 months and three weeks time, your S/R MC will have moved to its opposite point. This is a time when the promise of the SR enters a crises stage. At about 9 months and two weeks, the S/R angles return to their original position. This is a time when the promise of the S/R can be most easily fulfilled. At the 12 month point when the next S/R occurs, the MC and Sun have moved about 1/4 of a circle ahead of last year. (This we are all familiar with). My birthday is on Sept. 13th. Every Feb. around Valentines Day something happens -- I lose my job, I have an accident, someting happens. Later, in the summer around the fist week in July, good things tend to happen. These points, when my S/R is highly active with angular planets, are my crises points and resolvement points. So, I take a vacation in February, and look for new jobs in July. To return to the SA-PL conjunct chart angles and the 9-11 moving chart angles, the MC and ASC points are essential reversed. This is a crises point. A crises happened. That's enough for this post.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi, The Saturn/Pluto of the Mossad chart holds the ASC of the Israel chart between them as midpoint. *Mossad: June 7 1948 (no time) Tel Aviv *Israel: June 15 1948 0:00 am EET Tel Aviv ...one of several times for Israel...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Ebertin... Had to have been a very unusual sort of guy... I read and have CSI and its not a book I appreciate for his interpetations but for his work with midpoints.... There is a picture of him in it and I always felt he looked unusual/a bit strange.(what ever that means?). His interpetations are a bit skewed to me, but that may have not been him... It could have been those who interputed his German(mentality). For Saturn/Pluto characteristics I can see Hard labour, tenacity, toughness, endurance and even a fanatical adherence to one's principles. Pluto nor Saturn are inherently cruel to me. Pluto provides an edge or a dimension of the underworld however transformative/regenerative energy is not cruel in itself. Atomic energy which was harnessed and unleashed in the form of a bomb (during this time)saved more lives than it took. Add Mars and Neptune and then you have rich ingredients with Pluto and Saturn for potential cruelty. The Midpoint for P/S on June 7th is 21d+ Cancer, however only 5 degrees seperated the two planets. For the sake of clarity (D*).... Did your post suggest that Isreal's direction is predisposed to cruelty, cold-heartedness and severity? Other charts for consideration: ISLAM: July 16, 622, 16:00 GMT, 39e36/24n28 (Juan Antonio Revilla) PALESTINE: Declaration of Independence: Nov. 15, 1988, 12:40 AM CEST Algiers, Algeria. (Mark Andrew Holmes) Palestinian " autonomy " in the Gaza Strip and West Bank: May 4 1994, 8:55 AM, GMT, Cairo, Egypt.(Mark Andrew Holmes) *note that the Israeli and Palestinian " Suns " are in opposition. " Nations do not have only one valid " birth " chart. It is always possible to establish the significance or transcendence of other historical moments that can be used effectively as radicals, since what constitutes " the birth " of a nation is a question of interpetation that can be seen from many different points of view. One point of view - one chart--will prove better than the others within the limitations of a specific context of analysis.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 According to SolarFire5 which utilizes the Swiss Ephemeris.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi Jivio, Interesting your take on Ebertin. He had a very Nazi look. His mother Elsbeth: 5/14/1880 Freiberg (with various times that I can't solve just now) always caught my attention. She was the first to recognize and laud the fledgling Hitler. To calm the neighborhood, the Nazis wouldn't allow her to move and she died in a bomb strike in full knowledge of it. Her, " Astrology and Romance " (1936-English) helped me much. Yes. A full consideration of the 7th house of the 0:00 Israeli chart requires of me those very words. Yes. Juan's chart for Islam is sterling. Thanks for putting it out there again. To Revilla's take on valid " birth " charts, I would add that contemporary transits resurrect that particular birth chart that best allows their expression. US war matters seem always to go looking for Helen Boyd. " Today's " darling mundane is in tomorrow's dustbin only to rise again " day " after. Yes, even the 'Gemini Rising.'

Jivio > REPLY: I had entered the conjunction date from my ephermeris and then kept moveing/rectifying the time until I got a conjunction. Due to the relative movement of Saturn and Pluto on that date, the apparent conjunction time actually covered a span of several hours. I did not check for the end-points of that " conjunction span " and therefore used a time that was not representative of the best accuracy. Dave.

Ebertin and his earlier inspiration, Witte, seemed to have been heavily influenced by the warlike conditions the were so evident in Europe at the turn of the century and into/through World War II. One other book that is perhaps a nicer model of midpoint interpretation in general, but which was not specifically written for use as " mid-points " is the book " Planets In Containment " by John Sandbach and Ronn Ballard. This book looks at 980 combinations of two and three planet combinations (in terms of zodiacal sequence). Their approach does not required calculations or mid-points or aspects of postional information -- just the sequence. This is the most " non-sidereal " approach anyone could take; no math and no calculations, just look at an ephemeris and read the chart. However, the interpretations are deep, sensitive, thoughtful, and can often be used as " mid-point " interpretations. Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturn and Pluto simplisticly is about moderated renewal. Cruelty is not Saturn/Pluto by themselves. Why do you put so much weight on " Midnight " on the 15th of May for the timing of the Israeli Chart? Was some decree written for midnight of the 15th? Campion... suggests May 14th @ 4:32:00 PM EEST Revilla... suggests May 14th @ 2:15:07 PM GMT What jumps out at me, whatever chart one uses is that... Transiting Neptune is currently square to the Lunar Nodes at that time and that it is also in opposition to the Midpoint of the Saturn/Pluto conjunction.... Which fits in to our discussion of " imagining " what is the focus, structure and spiritual awareness of Israel... beyond that the stage is being set for a helleva week. The Sun will conjoin Neptune to bring vision to the perception that currently exists... so we may look(and perceive) for some answers... Also keep in mind that... what ever chart(Israel) you feel comfortable with has transiting Mars aspecting natal Jupiter and Mars... (note)The USA Boyd chart and Revilla's Israel chart show two allies... With the USA Mars at the ascendent of both charts... This may be the week that(USA moves) Israel to alter its posture with their brothers within the Arab world... They are sons of Abraham and until they embrace their similarities they are lost to the futility of understanding " double standards " such as " suns " in polarity. This week transiting Mars will also square the Boyd Mars & Ascendent. > > To Revilla's take on valid " birth " charts, I would add that contemporary > transits resurrect that particular birth chart that best allows their > expression.

Dave. These would be Tropical Interpetations? You mention " non-sidereal " so I wonder if any reference to " signs " is made.... What are some of the " keywords " used for Saturn/Pluto? Anyara-Astrology is a look at planets in containment. I found the following review on " Planets in Containment " . " This is a book that explains the meaning of any three planets in a row, in zodiacal order. So if you have the Moon at 7 Aries, Mars at 18 Aries & Saturn at 2 Taurus, you would look up Mars sandwiched between Moon & Saturn. " Is this a valid review?

So if you have the Moon at 7 Aries, Mars at 18 Aries & Saturn at 2 Taurus, you would look up Mars sandwiched between Moon & Saturn. " Is this a valid review? Jivio MY REPLY: My comment on the book being " non-sidereal " was comming from the point of view that using " Containments " required no calculation work and was simple enough to almost read out of an ephemeris -- whereas the implied reference to " sidereal " was that calculations were required and (possibly) a number of charts might be used to state an assessment. As to the meanings this particular book would apply to a planetary combination, we can look at the two examples noted in recent posts: MOON-MARS-SATURN (in Containments) " . . . exhibits an innate ability to accomplish the mundane and necessary tasks of daily life, and to take action when it is called for in immediate situations. However, this may tend to inhibit these individuals from taking initiative in terms of more demanding projects since they feel safe within the confines of routines and may fear undertaking endeavors with which they feel less secure. They need to define how they intend to use their constructive energies, while constantly re-establishing the boundaries of their efforts lest they become overly constrictive for them. " SATURN-ASC-PLUTO (in Containments) " These individuals are probably more intense and personally powerful than they realize. They tend to be overly sensitive to other prople's reactions, and yet they may project their self-dounbts outward from themselfves and experience others as sharing these negative opinions. If they continually reinforce negative beliefs about themselves which in turn create a sense of limitation, then they well feel overwhelmed and powerless when faced with new situations. By gaining objectivety with this process they will soon be able to recognize their own posers Now, Containments are not Mid-points. Containments are developed by taking the first-sequence planet as a basis, applying the second sequence planet as the " action to take " and applying it to the third sequence planet as the result or goal or method to use. But, being three planet combinations they are similar. Within that general similarity I find them to be better written for these modern times than Ebertin's write-ups. I respect Ebertin's work greatly, and I have found many times where his comments were highly specific. But in gerneral they seem a little harsh and negative-biased in some cases. Dave.
