Chapter 49: PISCES on the ASCENDANT the '1-12' Chapter 49: PISCES on the ASCENDANT THE '1-12' MASK The symbol for Aquarius, the Water-bearer, is 'singular'... thus we needed to search around Greek mythology to find the dual, divergent symbol (i.e. Prometheus & Epimetheus) with which we could usefully explore the 'progress-vs.-regress (from the ascendant)' question. Here, at Pisces, however, we won't have to be so searchful i.e. 'progres-vs.-regress' symbolism – two Fishes, swimming in opposite directions – is 'already there'. If there is a search to be made, it would involve the question: how far along the zodiac's circumference (either by progression or regression) do these Fishes 'desire' to swim? In the prior chapter, we noted that the on the ascendant individual might 'desire' a '30º fly-back' (or, if 'wise', a '300º fly-forward') to his/her 11th house. When our focus slips down to the on the ascendant individual, we have no grounds to assume any kind of flight ('flying fish' notwithstanding)... and, indeed, this individual is often happy to 'bob about' and/or 'slip-slide away'. One of the more interesting aspects of the '1-12' interaction is that both '1' & '12' have links to 'unity'. Even an anti-astrologer should 'get' '1's link to unity... and, anyone who has studied astrology for 15 minutes should have no trouble 'getting' the link from Pisces to 'boundary-less-ness' to all those “we-are-all-one” sentiments. The difference between Aries and Pisces is that the Ram is, in part, a 'heated up' version of the Fishes e.g. Aries is Piscean unity 'under pressure' and/or Aries is Piscean unity 'maculinized' with (potential-soon-to-be-kinetic) 'energy'. Perhaps, then, the 'basic' image for Pisces on the ascendant is less 'fish' and more 'reef' i.e. a place where the waters are warmer than in the ocean depths of the 12th house (but not so hot that the Pisces riser-faller morphs into Eddie Murphy sending up James Brown, “yeahawh!, hot tub!!”... well, at least when Pluto isn't in the vicinity). When, in “The Matrix”, “Neo” waits in the ante-chamber of “The Oracle”, he enounters a child-apprentice who tells him, “there is no spoon”. He could have said the same thing about the Pisces ascendant... “there is no ascendant”. The 'desire' to 'initiate' fleshy life is characteristic of a lower hemisphere sign on the ascendant... we will be convering these over the next 6 articles. The best thing, therefore, that we can say about Pisces on the ascendant is that 'initiative' isn't as 'far away' as it is for, say, Capricorn on the ascendant i.e. the majority of Pisces rising-falling individuals only have to swim as far as their (respective) 2nd house cusp(s) to access their (respective) Aries sector(s)... whereas, say, a Capricorn riser-faller might have to 'reach' his/her (often difficult to 'reach') I.C. before s/he becomes fully aware of the role that Arien initiative plays in heroism. In doing so, however, the Fishes ascendant individual still needs to avoid being smashed on the reef... a-la-Tom Hanks in “Castaway”. For this reason, you might hear the person who is familiar with a Pisces riser- faller admit, “yes, s/he's a bit of a couch potato but, once you get him/her going, s/he can become surprisingly energetic”. By virtue of the Jupiter-Moon conjunction on the cusp of her Aries 2nd house, 'Example 50B' fits this bill. Still, even a 29º Piscean ascendant begets a 1º mystery regards s/he might 'reach' his/her Aries sector... Although it was not nearly so widely seen as “The Matrix” (i.e. it was a very low budget 'indie'), the reader who wants to get a more 'mundane' sense of Pisces on the ascendant would do well to track down a film released at about the same time as the Wachowski's... “Open Water”, a young couple of holidaying reef-swimmers who find themselves abandoned by the boat that, symbolically, could have carried them back ('forward', actually) to the safe harbour of the ?Taurus/Gemini/Cancer I.C.. It is a kind of 'anti-Lawrence-of-Arabia' wherein, Casablanca-like, the troubles of two lovers in the middle of nowhere, with nowhere to go but where the tide carries them don't add up to a hill o' beans. Most of the dialogue is a mutual 'blame-a-thon' that, like the couple themselves, goes nowhere and, as revealed in the final scene, arrives nowhere (… to put it in movie-critic speak, the ultimate look on Blanchard Ryan's face is award caliber; the Academy would, once again, add to their uber-long list of shameful omissions because it couldn't see a Simone-de-Beauvior-mermaid even if it tripped over one... aw, go on, Meryl!! have a crack at that one!! “ John Paul Satre's dingo oit moi boiboi!!”). The big existentialist 'joke' of the film goes: had the couple surfaced a few minutes earlier, everything would have been different... but that's the mystery of life in an existential universe for ya'!!. Yes, dear reader, it is confession time again... I have Pisces on the ascendant (complete with my own existentialist biographical episodes). Although films such as “Open Water” make uber-sense to me, I wouldn't be able to reflect on this from my I.C. until, during my midlife (crisis), I read the opening parts of Erich Neumann's “The Origin and History of Consciousness”. Neumann's chapter on the “Uroboros” illuminates the 12th house's 'feed' into the ascendant and the second chapter on the “Great Mother” illluminates the Fishy 1st house's ongoing ambivalence regards the intentions of the title character i.e. is m/Mother “Great” or “Terrible”? You could say that Neumann's book was a kind of 'boat' that carried me down to my I.C. but, to get there, I would still have to deal with the 'mystery' of initiative... For a man, Piscean 'mystery' isn't very mysterious... it will be an 'embodied' feminine anima-figure. The risk of 'active identification' with the 'raw' anima is an issue that troubles the female of our species (Marilyn; 'Example 50B') but the more difficult problem of '(raw) anima possession' deserves a more extensive discussion. Liz Greene notes that, when under the pump of the 'feminine depths' of '12', many men take a defensive posture... of course, the Freudastrologer would translate Liz's note as “many men, resonating with that mythological creature, the goatfish, regress to their respective M.C.s' ('Example 50C/D')”. Although 'Example 50A's biography is another that reveals this 'goatfish' (or shall we say, a fishgoat-Capra-corn) factor, he, nonetheless, swam the odd anticlockwise developmental lap. Again, the 11/12th's who don't have Pisces on their (respective) ascendants can still get a strong taste of the 'mermaid problem' when Neptune washes its way across their (respective) ascendants... but, of course, more than ½ of this 11/12ths won't live long enough to get the taste. Indeed, with Neptune now in the early degrees of Pisces, it will be 14years before any of the remainder 'begin' to get this taste. Then again, if the individual has a (i) one of the upper hemispheric signs on his/her ascendant (ii) is in the 2nd half of his/her life and (iii) has a good memory, s/he can learn about Pisces on the ascendant by recalling an earlier part of his/her biography. The trouble is, of course, that Neptune leads to the 'sinking' of memory (you won't even need Saturn to 'push' your memories 'down'!!) meaning that we need to add a (iv) “Jane Austen- ish” willingness to write down one's recollections. EXAMPLE 50A ¶ Uran-Sat Frank Chironi CAPRA . Jupiter Venus Sun Mars Sun Merc Pl Nep Symbolicallly, the 'solution' (har, har) to the '(raw) anima problem' is to find ways to bring a mermaid to a 'harbour'... translating this into Freudastrology, we get “after Pisces, comes Cancer”. The fact that Pisces and Cancer (in the 'feminine- anima' sense) are separated by above-ground grazing-(± charging) Taurus speaks of the 'stumble block' problem i.e. how easily can the Piscean 'faller', after tasting the ground of the Bull (on or near the 3rd house cusp), accept the (apparent) move back toward the sea? As was noted in our prelude to this 'Vol.3', we can only establish our (semi)-rounded answer after we have considered 'feeling's opposite function. One reason for beginning with Frank Capra is that so much of his 'libido' (if, dear reader, you conceive 'libido' in a Jungian-general way rather than a Freudian- sexual way, it won't matter here) is dynamically centred near the Taurean 3rd house area. A second reason for beginnning with, arguably (at least, after Charlie Chaplin), the most important figure of 1930's cinema is that, when we 'reach' the Gemini I.C., we encounter that conjunction that history-minded psychological astrologers see as 'key' to the 'birth' of psychoanalysis... the 1896 Pluto-Neptune conjuction in Gemini (many pioneers of depth psychology were born in the last decade of the 19thC and, therefore, have this birth 'signature'). Translating this into Frank's horoscope, we can see an ocean both in front of his 1st person (3rd house) 'mind' and behind it. In our view, this (psychical) 'island-ification' provides us with a ready made reason to forgive Capra for his 'corn'. A number of movie critics have pointed out that the greatness of “Mr.

    DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA Drekkana the D-3 chart = dreshkhamsha = a graphic representation of the placement of each radix graha into one of the 36 Drekkana BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 7-8. Dreshkamsha: "One third of a Rashi is called Dreshkamsha. These are totally 36, counted from Mesha, repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round. The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashi from a Rashi are its three Dreshkhamsha and are,respectively, lorded by 1. Narada, 2. Agasthya 3. Durvasha." The meaning of the word DRESH – KANA DRESH mens seeing or visualizing objects which are apparent or hidden (obscure) in nature. KANA means corner or trine (Trikona). Therefore, Dreshkana represents the varga (division) where the signs, trine to each other, convey apparent as well as hidden personality and nature (swaroopa) of the native. Quotes From: David Frawley. the Astrology of the Seers, p. 186: "In this harmonic the first 1/3 or ten degrees 00° 00'-10° 00' of any sign ruled by itself. The middle 1/3,10° 00'-20° 00', is ruled by the subsequent sign of the same element. The last 1/3, 20° 00'-30° 00', is ruled by the final sign of the same element. For example, the first 1/3 of Sagittarius is in the harmonic third of Sagittarius, the second 1/3 in the harmonic third of Aries, and the last 1/3 in the harmonic third of Leo. Hence, if Saturn is located in a birth chart at 15° 20' Sagittarius, it would be in the harmonic third of Aries.

  • Drekkana Varga by Ernst Wilhelm
    Drekkana Varga By Ernst Wilhelm www.astrology-videos.com “Happiness, etc. with relations should be known from Drekkana.” -Sanketi Nidhi “A planet in its own decanate confers virtues".” -Saravali Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states that the Drekkana indicates happiness with siblings, though Sanketi Nidhi expands upon this idea to include happiness with all relations. An important point, the Drekkana indicates the happiness that the native has with siblings/relations, not the life of the siblings. The life of the siblings is indicated by the relevant Bhava cusp that represents the sibling (3rd for younger, 11th for elder) and that Bhava cusp needs to be read in all Vargas – that is how the life of the siblings is to be read. What the Drekkana itself represents is the capacity that we have to work with all our relations towards mutually fulfilling goals and thus it indicates our happiness with our relations. Afflicted Bhavas and afflicted lords indicate those people in our live with whom we work less effectively; while strong Bhavas and lords in good Lajjitaadi Avasthas indicate those people with whom we work very effectively. Individuals with a good Drekkana are socially able, while those with troubled Drekkanas are socially unable. Remember that the 3rd Bhava, for which the Drekkana is the important Varga, represents an individual’s social ability. The social ability represented by the Drekkana and by the 3rd Bhava is initially developed through the association with siblings, and so ability with siblings is an important aspect of the Drekkana, but the Drekkana is not limited to our social ability with just siblings, it reflects our social ability with everyone that we come across.

  • Chinese and Western Combinations Pisces (Rabbit) Month
    Chinese and Western Combinations Pisces (Rabbit) Month Combination with Dog Year: "Faith" Neptune, Water, Mutable "Concerned" Yin-Positive Metal Characteristics: Tastelessness, Morality, Indecision, Awareness, Spirituality, Respectability, Rage, Intelligence, Heroism, Duty, Self- Righteousness, Perception, Compatibility, Smugness, Creativity, Fearfulness, Lack of Will, Criticism, Unsociability, Uneasiness The Pisces is the spiritual side of this individual. They are easily hurt and often this makes them resentful. In the decision making department they are wishy-washy and have difficulty making choices. The Dog side of this complex individual is constant. Dogs are loyal and faithful. The Pisces-Dog is a highly sensitive individual. They happen to possess a little more of this quality than the average Pisces. It is best to tip- toe around them and take care of them gently. There is a bit of a difference in the Pisces-Dog’s sensitive side in that they do not like to be doubted or disagreed with. They are lacking somewhat in the area of will power, but have a dedicated mind. The Pisces side is accessible but porous. They are dedicated to understanding the world better and that often comes from personal observation. Many Pisces-Dogs aspire to be heroes and accomplish great feats of daring. They do share some traits that are akin to the Pisces though. It is possible for Dogs to be self-doubting and, in the Zodiac sense, they can be skeptical. They can even hold forth in a kind of sanctimonious manner. Put this in a pot and stir it up and the result is an anxious person who also is sardonic.

Her Story Andromeda was a princess from a region in Africa. Her parents were rulers, her mother was Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia believed that she was so beautiful, even more beautiful than all of the sea nymphs around. This upset Poseidon, the ruler of the sea. He sent a giant sea monster named Cetus to destroy the region where Andromeda’s parents ruled. They were promised to have their region spared if they sacrificed Andromeda, their daughter. They chained Andromeda to a rock and there she stayed until she was rescued. Perseus who was riding his horse, Pegasus, was flying high in the skies above and swooped down to save Andromeda, in return turning Cetus into stone.

  • The Star Zodiac of Antiquity
    The Star Zodiac of Antiquity Nick Kollerstrom In the early third century AD, two zodiac systems converged. 1 One was the ancient star-zodiac derived from the constellations, while the other was the tropical zodiac, with its beginning at 0 0 Aries firmly anchored to the Vernal Point, the Sun’s position at the Spring Equinox. It will be argued here that this latter, tropical, system had not, in the third century, come to be accepted by astrologers, but that it was to gradually come into use amongst astrologers as the earlier, sidereal system sank into a deep oblivion, at least in the West, from which it did not re-emerge until rediscovered late in the nineteenth century. It remains far from easy to ascertain which were the primary reference stars which defined the sidereal zodiac’s position, and there may have been different views on this, amongst the several cultures that adopted it. 2 The term ‘sidereal’ derives from the Greek sidera, a star, and the terms ‘sidereal’- and ‘star’- zodiac will here have the same meaning, as alluding to a division of the ecliptic into twelve equal sectors. The term ‘zodiac’ will here be used in the sense of these twelve equal divisions of the ecliptic, and will not allude to the unequal constellations that are, as it were, behind the twelve signs. The convergence of the two celestial wheels, tropical and sidereal, meant that the Vernal Point was moving by precession from the sidereal sign of Aries into Pisces, an event comparable to the expectations of present-day astrologers of its movement into Aquarius.

Saturn is all about stability and responsibly and hard work. When it influences us astrologically, it makes us cut out the things that no longer serve us. We trim down on extravagances so we can focus on the things that are most important to us. This is why it’s associated with the word “constriction” which on the surface is a hard energy to deal with. On the contrary it is absolutely necessary to have this energy in our lives, just like we need the root chakra to ground us. The signs ruled by Saturn are CAPRICORN and Aquarius. I do think that Capricorn fits with the root chakra, but Aquarius doesn’t. Capricorn is a sign that is extremely focused and hard working and has direction and focus in life. Capricorn makes sure a foundation is set before they start building a house. In my own opinion, I think that the signs TAURUS and SCORPIO also fit under the Root Chakra umbrella.

  • The Zodiac, the Circle of Life
    The Zodiac, The Circle of Life Do you check your horoscope each day in the newspaper? Do you believe what your read? If you are not sure, you share your doubts with many people over many centuries. Yet interest in astrology remains strong. The word horoscope comes from the Greek words hora for “hour” and skopas meaning “watcher” or “observer.” Thus, your horoscope is based on observation of the position of the planets and starts in relation to one another at the hour of your birth. Obviously, the daily newspaper predictions are general, for anyone born under a particular sign of the zodiac. But by the law of averages, sometimes a horoscope will have a message or advice that seems to be meant only for you. The zodiac, or circle of life (actually, in Greek, circle animals) is the basis for the horoscope. Divided into twelve parts to correspond to the twelve cycles the moon makes around the earth annually, each part of the zodiac is named for a constellation. How did the zodiac come to exist? Astrology, the interest in and observation of heavenly bodies, is very ancient. The Babylonians observed that in addition to the fixed stars in the heavens there were certain other stars that moved. They had their own names for these wanderers, but the Greeks later called them planets. They consisted of the sun and moon, plus Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, and Venus. You will notice that the last five are names of Roman gods; it was once though that the planets were gods. The early astrologers observed that the planets moved only through a narrow band of the sky, marked by twelve constellations.
