Aspects and (Today's) Forecast

ISLAM to all:

Today I am going to describe the astrological climate of July 2, 2013, and teach about a couple major aspects that can exist in one's chart.  So without further adieu, let's go in:

ASPECTS

- An aspect is a description of how two planets/luminary bodies interrelate to one another.  This is based on a geometrical measurement.  Since the natal wheel is a circle, planet placements create angles (aka ANGELS) that bear influence on your at the time of your birth.

• Think back to Geometry class.  The natal wheel is divided into 12 houses.  Each house is a total of 30° (30 days per Sun sign).  
• Each planet's placement is at a particular sign and degree.  For example, my Sun sign is 15° Cancer.

• My Moon sign is in Scorpio; therefore, the Sun and Moon create a 120° angle.  The Moon is said to trine my Sun.

           - Trines are harmonious because the signs are of the same element.  A person with many 
            trines in their chart may be lazy because things come easy to them.  This is because they  
            have put in WORK in this area in their past life.  The drawback is that they have difficulty in  
            areas that require extra effort.  

Here are moor examples:

With Sun in Scorpio and their Saturn is in Scorpio, the planets are conjunct.
           Conjunctions are generally harmonious energy,     
            depending on the planets.

---

• A person's Moon is in Aries, and their Jupiter is in Cancer; this creates a 90° angle between the two planets; this is called a quartile or square.  

           - Squares create tension between two energies; they represent challenge and areas of 
            frustration in your chart.  In this example, the Moon (soul, emotion) is motivated by passion,  
            while Jupiter (benevolence and abundance) is emotion-driven.  Squares bring out the lower 
            energies of that particular sign and/or planet. 

• A person's Sun is in Scorpio and their Mercury is in Taurus, this creates a 180° angle (straight line).  This planets oppose one another. 

          - Oppositions creates a balance between two energies.  Here, the Sun (identify) is focused on 
            inner regeneration, while Mercury (the mind) is focused on building for the exterior by 
            acquiring material goods.  Oppositions represent the areas where you worked to create
            harmony in your past life.  You are here to continue, and your good work has been   
            rewarded with balancing energies.



The closer the degrees are to one another, the stronger the affects of the aspect.  A perfect aspect would have the same degree.

Why is this important?  Today, we experienced squares between the following-

1) Sun square Uranus: (Sun in Cancer, Uranus in Aries)
    - The Sun represents the overall surface energy.  Cancerian energy is nurturing in that we are tending to our ideas in the garden of our minds.  In its lower energies, Cancer manifests as moody and irritable.  It can be 
                                          stagnant due to it's changeable nature.  It can be brooding and akin to an  
                                          overprotective parent, which causes your ideas to suffocate.
                                           - Uranus represents destroying that which is antiquated for preparation of 
                                            new, fresh, and innovative ideas.   I liken Uranus to the Mission of the 
                                            Moors: to UpLift Fallen Humanity.  Uranus is about social uplift (or 
                                            upheaval); in Aries, we feel like initiating a revolution in some sense.  
   
       **The conflict: Uranus is ready to go go go, let's make moves and make change, blow the WHOLE thing UP, while the Sun says- take your time or I will not allow your innovative ideas take root.   So although we feel the urge to start things, we must not force it, but rather nurture and carefully take the proper steps at the proper time.**


2) Sun oppose Pluto: (Pluto in Capricorn)
    - This is a perfect opposition at 10°. This gives us balance.  I like this placement because Pluto, which is our inner psyche (where we hold our past pains that we must release) is being disciplined to really look within and do the work that is required for inner transformation.  By doing this, we can alleviate the brooding and sulking energy that Cancer can bring. 

3) Jupiter trine Neptune (Jupiter in Cancer and Neptune in Pisces)
    - Some relief given to us: we will receive wealth (Jupiter) when we are giving to others.   And that wealth will come in the form of spiritual insight (Neptune at home in Pisces).  This is a good time to consult psychics, oracles, etc...  Also, pay attention to your dreams, which is where you will receive the spiritual insight.  This is a time of creativity, particularly with regards to musik.  




Of course, it's best to know where the planets lay in your chart to innerstand how the current energies are affecting you.  E-mail moorastrology@yahoo.com for a consultation or to schedule a reading.
