D.I.Y. Astro – Fortuna Redux

Today is the Ancient Roman worship day of Fortuna Redux – goddess of successful journeys and safe returns!

Fortuna is from whom we get the term Lady Luck & the Pars Fortunae (Part Of Fortune) in your chart is where you are traditionally fortunate! There are articles on it here and here & you can bung it easily into your chart using Astrodienst’s Extended Chart Options.  It’s an Arabic Part & thus from a different school of astro – there are dozens of these so-called Arabic Parts; The Part of Fascination, the Part Of Treachery, The Part Of Karma etc. Deeply interesting but maddening to the person setting out to learn about astrology, which is why i so rarely go on about them.

BUT, for a good time (if you are an aspiring Astro-Fiend) have a look at your Part of Fortune & the House that it is in + any major and tight-orb aspects that it makes.  To also Do: Compare it with Jupiter – the official “benefic” of the planetary pow-pow, along with our lady Venus. A Part Of Fortune hitting on Jupiter and/or Venus would be officially brill. Think also of transits involving this lot as being when you ponce out to try on some new biz.

And yes, I am back and i had a successful journey thank you so much!

Astro-Ryan O’Neal – Astrological Prick Indicators?

Yo, Find-My-Goddess dude, all is forgiven!  Okay, Ryan O’Neal seems like an abject prick. Having a background in journalism, i tend not to judge peeps being slagged off in the media, as i know how easily they can be stitched up, taken out of context etc. But the Daily Mail’s “I Chatted Up My Own Daughter At Farrah Fawcett’s Funeral” article on Ryan O’Neal is SOMETHING ELSE.

It is short & basically a pithy little summary of the Vanity Fair piece out soon but YICK.

So, okay, I whip up  his chart and go looking for astrological prick indicators (A.P.I.) and voila – the classic afflicted Mars. Ladies and male gays, take note. The “afflicted” Mars is the classic astro-omen of trouble when you are looking at men. Not all men with a trickily aspected Mars are difficult pricks with drugs or violence issues but plenty are.   PLEASE don’t e-mail me to defend your precious snookums who has never laid a hand on you excepting for tantric sex at which he excels and he always puts the rubbish  out sans complaint. I am just saying that in SOME cases, a man with Mars square his Saturn, Uranus, Pluto or Neptune can be a piece of work.

Ryan O’Neal is a multiple conjunct Taurus. He has Sun Venus at Zero degrees Taurus so there is sex appeal, beauty and charm for sure, prob v.strong before dissipated. And so Sun, Venus, Lilith, Part  of Fortune, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus ALL In Taurus and all in the 11th house. Which gives him a strong Aqua-Uranian flavour. So he is a multiple conjunct Taurus + it’s squaring his Mars and Moon in Aquarius…So he’s a Fixed Square in motion. Could be a saint, of course, but also immense frustration & could alternate between cloying neediness/control freakery and Aqua spaciness/don’t fence-me-in OR ELSE.  Just to add to the fixed square theme, he’s got squares from Pluto in Leo as well.

And he’s got Neptune all over his Aqua-Moon this  year & next so now what? MORE Neptunian substances??? He could claim to be in touch with Farrah Fawcett from the Other Side and try to set up a church. Neptune-Moon can be super-spiritual and awakening but given the Daily Mail story above, I am not confident of this guy’s form. Seriously read it!

And, given the massive conflict between Taurus & Aquarius in this guys chart, what could have done (or do!) to create a better expression of it???  He’s Cancerian Rising so parenthood could have been his salvation. But, well, hitting on your daughter at your lovers funeral AND introducing another child to drugs – allegedly – would be an odd form of it, no? Poor Farrah.

Leo Hair Jealousy

It’s funny but people go ON and ON about the Leonic Madonna’s determination to look ever-young & stay, you know, relevant. But what about the way-older Leo Mick Jagger??? He’s been a fitness-fiend, vitamin vampire puller of young things for yonks longer than Madonna. Does anyone really bitch it up re him??  Seriously, is it sexism? Leos can’t help it. It’s who they are. Jagger has the Sun, Jupiter, Pluto, Lilith, Mercury, North Node and Part of Fortune all together in Leo – he’s a mega-multiple conjunct Leo. I reckon he would have suffered dreadful Hair Jealousy of Jerry Hall.

Also re Leos – i think there are two broad types; one is the Bon Vivant Leo, who cares not so much for vanity or the appearance of youth but likes to Live-it-up indefinitely. So they may get fat but it will be gourmet fat. And plumpness from fine restaurant pig-outs IS actually diff from fast-food binge fat. I think maybe as the complexion stays reasonable? Then there is Vanity-Leo who will do any diet, any exercise ritual – what-ever it takes – to stay at what he/she considers their peak. The word “decline” is simply not a valid concept to them.

D.I.Y. Astro – The Midheaven

This is not a course in astrology but i get loads of questions about this sort of thing so maybe a bit of info will be useful?  You can get a chart off Astrodienst & please just get the vanilla version. I got an e-mail from someone semi-hysterical the other day. She’d worked up her chart & gone for every single extra asteroid, point and even hypothetical planets (Uranian astrology) and it was the first time she’d ever even seen her chart. The e-mail began something like  “HELP ME – I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WAS A LEO BUT I HAVE PRIAPUS, HADES, VERTEX, TWO PARTS OF FORTUNE AND 14674 + my PROGRESSED MOON ALL IN VIRGO…”

Anyway, the Midheaven is the cusp of the 10th house, aka the Brilliant Career sector. You can see it at more or less the top of any chart with the words MC.This is short for “medium coeli” aka middle of the sky aka Midheaven. If you have an exact birthtime, transits to the Midheaven manifest with total resonance for your vocational reality. The sign of the Midheaven and the planets in that 10th house signify your level of fame attained – if any, your public image, professional reputation and point toward your ideal career.

So, for fun or furthering self-understanding, figure out the sign/any planets in the 10th and ponder the scenario. eg; Mars in Saggo/ Saggo Midheaven wouldn’t want to be indoors or beholden to anyone. This is someone who would go bonkers if trying to follow – say – the parental path into a profession. It just reeks of the wilderness, travelling around teaching martial arts, a politician, professional zealot, idealist, horse trainer, surfer, self-employed, wanderer…It is all, obviously, a bit more complicated than this but i.m.o. it is a good starting point. And cool to analyze. On a really shallow level, just consciously trying to ‘do’ your Midheaven sign when it comes to big career matters, seems to work really well.
