I don't even know where to begin. In my mind, my life is all breaking down into transits.

Currently tr sun-Mars conjunct my 12H Saturn. For some reason yesterday I felt like looking up my great-grandfather again...there are ghost stories about him on the internet. Apparently he's still active in his house, and I found new stories.

Saturn = father/patriarch, whatever lingers for a long time...

Also I was watching video clips of a medium in action (Tyler Henry) and reading his book cover to cover in one sitting, almost.

Interest in dead people........yeah, sun and Mars moving through my 12th. 

Ooh, I love true ghost stories, but understand if you want to keep this one private.

I can't log into astro.com - the database is down. I don't know my transits, aside from Sun sextile Moon/Venus and trine NN.

[anela]

Oh, the moon is apparently conjunct my Saturn. I don't think I'm feeling it, unless that's why I finally changed a few light bulbs earlier.

Mercury trine my Ceres/Chiron/Sun. I went out to an early dinner yesterday evening, around 6pm, in a local town. It was a $3.50 special on a burger and home fries. They even had malt vinegar, which you don't always find over here, although more places are providing it now. They even mentioned it in the post on facebook, when they advertised it. The chips were made from potatoes that were left over from the local fair. It was a bar that allows kids in there before a certain time, and we sat on the deck (which ended up being a mistake: it was way too hot).

Venus sextile Mercury is probably wasted on me tonight, but that's probably why I haven't been quite so depressed for the last few days.

Mars square Uranus/ascendant. I feel like I should be more active...

Saturn trine my Ceres/Chiron/Sun. I actually wish Saturn would stay right where he is. He's gone easy on me this year, after stealing my mother from me last year (along with Uranus), but I'm afraid of what he's gearing up for.

Neptune square Neptune, trine Saturn. I feel like this is wasted on me, too. It would have been a really creative period for me in the past (but then it was all the time - I was always doing something).

Ceres trine Uranus/ascendant.

Juno square Jupiter/Pluto. Have no idea.

NN trine Ceres/Chiron/Sun.

Vesta opposed Mars, square Moon/Venus/Nodes.

Lilith sextile Uranus/ascendant, square Jupiter/Pluto.

Transiting ascendant is conjunct my Mercury. I know this thanks to astrotheme. MC is opposed Saturn, square Jupiter/Pluto.

BTW concerning transiting angles - these are of course ONLY important if you check up very specific events with a precise timing.
The ASC and MC is running throughout the zodiac every day, so every day at some point every of your planets will be triggered.

For example right now as I am writing it the transiting ASC is on 4 Libra - LOL I really did not know that, but turns out it is on the exact same degree as my natal MC.

and the transiting IC is within about 20 minutes of my natal Venus, which rules my MC - and I am writing here in public. In fact I JUST sent two workrelated mails, even though I am on my summerbreak - it was just lose threads from last year, some stuff that had to be dealt with now or yesterday or sometime this week. Instinctively I picked the time today (and I had no clue) when my MC was being illuminated. lol


oh and transiting Antivertex was, when I wrote those work emails - on my Pluto which is of course sitting right on my MC.
Tr Vertex in my 4th house - I did it from my HOMEcomputer.


Even tr Moon fits here, being on 16 Cancer, the degree of my natal Saturn, ruler of my 2nd house and in 8th house (well an hour before I had to upload some money for paying the bill for my mobile phone, and no I felt I had to do it immediately I could not wait. I guess Saturn does not like the feeling of debts!)

Of course theoretically this is a longer timeframe, Tr Moon being on 16 Cancer from 11:53 a.m. - 1:28 p.m. - at the current time it is 12:04 p.m. over here, and honestly I payed the bill with Tr Moon on 15 Cancer instead of 16 Cancer it seems.

And of course this Tr Moon could also have depicted a moment in time when something happened between P and me, some sort of communication or whatever (as our composite Venus is on 16 Capricorn and pr composite Moon is on 17 Cancer - but this did not happen.


So there has to be always an EVENT (as small it might be), but IF there is one, THEN the transiting angles describe that one very accurately.

HOwever it would drive anyone crazy to see at which time some of their planets gets triggered by transiting angles WITHOUT such a precisely timed event.


That is why I would make a difference between analysing/ overviewing

a) specific events

b) background themes of development

I`ve had the Neptune-Neptune-square transit last year, to be honest I cannot even say much about it. It was not sucking as much as I feared from my experience with Tr Neptune square natal Mars - that was no joy. I felt like wading through some sort of fog and mud all the time, like quicksand, and was having a head stuffed with some sort of cotton.

Oh and pretty much around the time Tr Neptune squared n Mars and THEN Tr Mars was squaring my natal Neptune - I was struck by episodes of dizziness, which would last for quite some time, at least a few weeks, I was even seeing a doctor about it, but physically everything was fine with me.



EDIT
Having said that, I seem to have noticed that often matching experiences seem to happen, if there is a DW-transit going on, especially if both are making 4th harmonic aspects (conjunction, opposition, square), but could also be other aspects, sometimes even two harmonious aspects can have interesting results.

For example:

Tr Venus trine natal NN
Tr NN trine natal Venus


Of course since these are the same aspects it must mean that back then I was having an aspect in the event composite of my natal with that moment`s chart, in this instance it was a trine, too. 

And this was a day I received a particular nice greeting-note. 


Well additionally there was a Venus-Mars-conjunction building in my event composite, which was being exact about a week later, and that happened because I was having the DW transit of

Tr Venus 7°45 Aries
n Mars 5°10 Sag

Tr Mars 7°49 Taurus
Tr Venus 6°07 Capricorn

the resulting conjunction in the event composite on 20th march looked like this:

Venus 21°56 Aqua
Mars 22°30 Aqua





Another example of this was some years before,w hen I was having a particularly intense and cathartic experience 



Tr Pluto 7°15 Capricorn
n Venus 6°07 Capricorn

Tr Venus 5°45 Cancer
n Pluto 9°05 Libra


Of courst the transiting VEnus was still somewhat far off n Pluto, however, there were additionally Tr Pluto sqnare n Pluto and Tr Venus opposing n Venus going on, plus the Venus-Pluto-opposition in the sky mirroring my natal Venus-Pluto-square, so enough indication for this to be an important set of days (at that time Tr Moon was also conjunct Tr Venus).



The eventcomposite did not really "look" all that dramatic

Venus 5°56 Aries
Pluto 23°10 Scorpio


However they were widely sesisquare each other, which happens if you put an opposition or conjunction and a square together; you oftentimes get a sesisquare or semisquare in the composite. 

[lucina]

BTW P`s and my composite has had such a DW-transit on 18th july. 

Tr Pluto 17 Cap
n Venus 16 Cap

Tr Venus 15 Gemini
n Pluto 15 Libra



and actually on last friday it had another DW-transit of

Tr Sun 22 Cancer
nMoon 22 Capricorn

Tr Moon 27-28 Pisces
n Sun 27 SAgittarius


Oh and of course some Venus-Jupiter-DW transits, which were most exact on friday/ saturday I think

Tr Jupiter 15 Libra
n Venus 16 Cap


Tr Venus 10-12 Gemini
n Jupiter 11 Gemini



I am starting getting really intrigued with these Double transits. lol

Ooh, I love true ghost stories, but understand if you want to keep this one private. 

Thanks for your interest. I'm trying to think of how to explain it.

My great-grandmother sold the family "mansion" (that's what they call it even though it's not a mansion by today's standards) to the freemasons, and legend has it that my great-grandfather, a strict Catholic, objects to the sale, and continues living in "his" house to protest what the masons are doing. 

So a few of the masons who frequent the house have come forward to local news organizations claiming the house is haunted. He stands in the doorways, shuts the doors, tinkers with the lights. One person said they looked in the mirror and didn't see their face but my great-grandfather's, and when they startled, a voice said clearly, "That's not you." 

The house is particularly spotlighted because it adjoins a theater now, where some famous musicians have played. The two structures are physically conjoined and mentioned in tandem. So I need to see a concert there. I missed The Indigo Girls which is the last act I saw that I would have liked to attend. 

The house is very old. My grandmother grew up there but her family wasn't the first to occupy the place. It's about as old as the town. President Theodore Roosevelt stayed overnight there, a guest of my great-grandfather's. 

Yet....this is the strange thing....before my family lived there, the house was an insane asylum for women. These were women who were simply pregnant out of wedlock, if I understand correctly. There is a ballroom attached to the house, but I don't know if that belongs to the theater (relatively new addition) or where or when it was built. What is really super eerie to me is for the longest time, I used to dream of a certain place which was very tragic and almost a kind of pergatory, a prelude to hell....I walked those interior balconies over and over. Then I saw a picture of the old ballroom attached to my grandmother's house and I'll be damned if it's not the same place I dreamt about. I almost had to wonder if I was an inmate in that house in a past life, and haunted my grandmother while she lived there!

My best friend and I went there after I saw this stuff online. "Oh, maybe the ghost will recognize me, maybe I can connect with him." Well you can't just knock on the door of a freemason headquarters and be let in. LOL, I don't know what we were thinking. But the man who opened the door graciously let us stand in the lobby for a few minutes while he explained that we were not welcome. And my best friend chattered away, to free me up to glance around and wonder. All I can say is that the place seems loaded with quiet, I mean the expression "the silence is deafening" seems a good fit. My great-grandfather is a Scorpio stellium, sun-moon-Mercury, with Mercury opposing Pluto. Pretty interesting that that kind of energy still pervades "his" house. 

Yet I have home movies of him from 1925 and he was pretty jovial. I guess when he was happy, he was happy, and when he was pissed off, well there is apparently no end to his revenge, his family lives and dies and passes on, while he stays in his house.

I might delete that later, I was just in the mood to tell this story again.

And those small moments are like the little descriptions or even little scenes building up the chapters of that novel. It`s just how I perceive life and the world. When Shakespeare said: "All world`s a stage, and we are (merely) players", I often feel he was referring to me, or at least how I see that drama "life" unfold on earth. And when I see or listen to people, I see stories, usually episodic ones, and I see threads of these stories leading from one person to another, making different chapters/ stories, depending on the role each one plays in each other`s story. 

Can`t help it, that is how I see everything. And that does not mean I undervalue the seriousnes or meaning of life. It`s just that I see those patterns, no matter if they are real or just my perception. 

And I guess one aspect that intrigues me about the P-story is that I`ve thought this story to be a finished one so often before, and the book always fell out of its shelf and opened itself again and it seemed like there were still parts unwritten, and how it changes from chapter to chapter. There is a real character development there, which of course affects the "relational threads" as well, and I´ve still haven`t understood what kind of genre this story is. Maybe it just changes too much as it goes to be limited to one genre. 

I am just curious to see how it is going to evolve, what its "destination" is, and I surely want to be there to see it (and of course I am not just its reader, but apparently also am part of that story - and yet some of the twists I did NOT see coming! which is what keeps that whole thing exciting for me and me curious. And for once NOT bored, because I already know how it`s going to end with the first sentence I read. This story is a bit more multilayered than that. 


Yeah I know I am weird. lol

I love it though, and I'm grateful that you tell me all these stories!!

I just feel bad when I fall behind with replying. 

But yes, it really does make one ongoing saga, full of layers, much more interesting than a novel or memoir, by virtue of its thoroughness and the astrological lessons attached.

Sometimes I've felt an enjoyable surge of fondness for a person and when I checked the chart, the ASC was transiting conjunct their sun....that's happened to me pretty often actually. 

[FruityLlama]

Mars in Leo was transiting my first house not long ago. I felt irritated a lot of the time.
Mars and the Sun are currently going through my 2nd house and I am conscious of money again.
I never feel Venus-ASC transits. I should feel spectacular every summer but I dont. I get some compliments but not because Im actually a looker, more because in the summer I used to work in bars and restaurants so there were a lot of drunk people ahahaha. But I suppose Venus there helped with dealing with people actually now that I think about it...and getting the job itself.

Saturn in retro in 6th house at the moment. I have worked a lot of hours so far to help pay off some uni things. It is hard work but a necessary evil haha

[lucina]

Transits of this Weekend

Sun-mars trine my Mars and asc
Moon transiting over my Uranus
Venus opposing my Sun and Mercury
Jupiter trine Moon and square Saturn
NN trine Mercury

[sven555]

Uranus has gone Retrograde!!

I was curious to know why things felt weird. As if the electricity has been turned off.

I know that Mercury will turn Retrograde soon, but Saturn will go direct in a few weeks also.

Jupiter is slowly making up the ground that it lost when it was retrograde, so in a few months it will be in scorpio!

[FruityLlama]

sven555 I know what you mean, its been a weird few weeks. Dreading mercury retrograde....

[FruityLlama]

My bf has been experiencing Sun conjunct Mars in his 10th house plus chiron rx in the 6th. Its been a tough transit career wise lets just say that.

[lucina]

well current transits for me


Tr Sun in my 8th house opposing Moon and Atropos

Tr Moon in my 3rd house applying to square Sun and Mercury

Tr Mercury in my 9th opposping Jupiter exact, separating from squaring Neptune and being conjunct my pr Moon

Tr Venus just one degree off my 8th house cusp, trine my Jupiter exact, separating from a square to Pluto 


Tr Jupiter in my 10th separating from a trine to Moon and square to Saturn

Tr Pluto in my 2nd opposing Saturn 


there is no real reason for it, but I am feeling emotionally a bit overwhelmed. lol
