If you are already interested in astrology, know your way around a bit, and have your natal chart, you need to read no farther. Just take any planetary pair aspect from your chart and look it up in the table of contents. What makes this work more interesting is that all 765 planetary combinations are illustrated with a tarot-like card called an Astro*Image. It is about time that astrology had the same kind of graphic stimuli that tarot readings do and I hope you like these cards. Each planetary combination (45 combinations in all) is shown in what professional astrologers consider the sixteen most popular aspects between planets. And each of these sixteen aspects include an Astro*Image card plus written meanings or interpretations for that particular planet-aspect combination for both natal chart and transits – over 765 combinations in all. And each combination includes two interpretations, a natal interpretation which refers to your birth or natal chart and a transit interpretation which refers to what is happening in the sky overhead right now. If you would like to read more about the standard astrological theory of aspects, there is a short article toward the end of this book. As you will see this is primarily a guidebook, a guide to the major astrological interpretations used by professional astrologers all over the world. 8 Complete Natal and Transit Aspects And these brief interpretations are not intended as definitive statements. Nothing here is written in stone. The keywords, Astro*Image graphic cards, plus the various written interpretations are intended to spark your imagination and get you on the same page with what these astrological combinations might mean. They are not intended to be any kind of last word, but just a guide to get your own intuition and imagination going, so this should be kept in mind. That being said, if you know a little astrology, just jump in. If you are just learning, please read on for more instructions. 9 Complete Natal and Transit Aspects A Word on Aspects A word of advice about aspects for beginners and advanced astrologers. It has become a habit when looking at an astrological chart (whether natal or transit) to only list those aspects that are very exact, that is that have tight orbs. In my experience this habit closes the door on a lot of otherwise very useful astrology. Each of us has the Sun, Moon, and the eight planets (and all their aspect combinations) in our natal chart, not just those exact few. While any given particular planetary pair may not be in an exact aspect, it is a fact that a major aspect is just about to occur or has just occurred recently for ALL planetary aspect pair. In other words, each planetary pair is always in some part of the aspect cycle and it is worth our while to know where in the cycle each on is. This is explained in more detail in the article at the end of this book, but for now let me say this: The solar system and planets are a functioning whole, all parts of which are needed. Two planets not in exact aspects don’t just disappear from the heavens. Each planetary pair (all 45 of them) is always in some very important part of the aspect cycle. If they are not exact, they are always just past one aspect and just before the next one. Look up each one and learn more about yourself. 10 Complete Natal and Transit Aspects How to Use this Book First of all you will need some kind of astrological chart. This could be a chart for the day you were born, which is called in astrology a “natal chart.” You could also use a chart for today (or any other date in your life which is significant) which is called a transit chart. Both natal and transit charts work with this book just fine. As to where you can get such a chart? There are dozens of inexpensive computer programs plus all kinds of web services that will calculate your chart, some of them are even free. Just about every astrological program and web service will provide you with a list of planets and most also provide

  • The Basis of Symmetrical Astrology
    The Basis of Symmetrical Astrology Overview: Why Symmetrical Astrology? Astrology needs to create its future form. While many astrologers have seized astrology’s history and others have integrated modern psychological forms into the field, the technique for the future growth of astrology needs definition in modern technical terms and methods. Without a new definition and direction, astrology has no future, only a past. Symmetrical Astrology is not a school or the teachings of a specific set of ideas. It is an anchor to ground astrological ideas to a fixed point and this fixed point should allow unlimited development of astrological innovations in all directions. As the future techniques of the regenerated field of astrology are integrated and the face of astrology revitalizes and merges into the larger social collective, then Symmetrical Astrology will have served its purpose as a launching pad for the future and can wither away. Introduction: Finding the Future of Astrology There is no doubt that astrology experienced a major reawakening broken into several segments during the twentieth century after a long period of decay in the learned minds of the world. With the first great reawakening people began to rediscover the astrological craft in the late 1800’s with the coming Neptune-Pluto conjunction in 1892 and what they found was pretty anemic and frail. Astrologers had more folklore guiding them than organized knowledge and scholars that had to work with the subject treated it with abhorrence and contempt. During the early part of the last century, a cottage industry began to grow around the reintroduction of these ideas.

  • Great at Every Price Professional Software for Western Astrology by Hank Friedman Latest Revision April 18, 2013
    Great at Every Price Professional Software for Western Astrology by Hank Friedman latest revision April 18, 2013 Introductory Remarks This article was inspired by the many great professional astrology programs at all price points. "You get what you pay for" simply doesn't apply here, since even the least expensive programs have many features lacking in the most expensive programs! (Of course, the pricier programs also have their own unique features, too.) I decided to present the information on these programs in several sections: the first focuses on the unique capabilities of each program, the second on ease-of-use, and the third shows a table examining many of the features that programs have in common. In the table, I list in blue the programs that have the best implementation of each feature, with very best programs listed first. For example, while most programs offer eclipse mapping, only two show the path of totality as it actually exists (as a wide path and not a line). [I've also started a new series of articles focusing on how specific features compare in different programs. You can read these articles by clicking here.] Please note that programs that have the most features in common with other programs fare best in the table. That's because I only list functions that are present in at least two programs. (If I didn't use this criterion, then there would be a great many rows in the table where one program showed up in the Yes column and all of the rest in the No column.) But the weakness of this approach is that programs with many unique features, like Millennium, will not do as well, because many of its strengths are not found in other programs.
