Depending on what sign your Ascendant is, determines your Planetary chart Ruler. Aries=Mars Taurus=Venus Gemini-Mercury Cancer=The Moon Leo=The Sun Virgo=Mercury Libra=Venus Scorpio=Pluto (old ruler=Mars) Sagittarius=Jupiter Capricorn=Saturn Aquarius=Uranus (old ruler=Saturn) Pisces=Neptune (old ruler=Jupiter) Check which planet rules your chart, what house it's located in and its aspects to the Ascendant. Is your Asc friendly or challenging to your chart? Here is Jodie's chart: Sagittarius Asc=Jupiter is the Ruler, located in the 3rd house of communication in the sign of Pisces. Opposite Moon/Uranus in Virgo in the 9th (the 'natural' home of Jupiter) Jupiter also is square to her Sun in Scorpio in the 12th. Michael's chart Leo Ascendant=Ruler is the Sun, located in the 5th house, its 'natural' home. Opposition to Jupiter in Cancer in the 11th

How EVERY sign of the Zodiac is now being affected by the Outer Planets   I've made a chart just to show exactly where the outer planets are at the moment..and below I've added a reminder to demonstrate how these outer planets being in Taurus, Capricorn and Pisces will affect ALL the other signs...that's YOU we are talking about here! They'll either oppose, or square YOUR Sun sign....(or conjunct) Unless you are a Pisces, then you can celebrate bcoz Neptune is your natural ruler and will help you become a better version of yourself..provided you stay truthful, honest and realistic. Here's the link to my Newsletter article discussing this in March earlier this year https://mailchi.mp/6a7e4aa27709/you-will-survive Planet    Squares           Opposes     Sextiles             Trines                  Aries Cancer Capricorn Libra Aquarius Gemini Leo Sagittarius Taurus Uranus Leo Aquarius Scorpio Cancer Pisces Virgo Capricorn Gemini Virgo Pisces Sagittarius Aries Leo Libra Aquari

This week we are working with Andy and Walter's charts Here is Andy's natal chart. See-Saw chart. Libra Asc = relationship/s are VERY important Sun in Cancer in the 10th, working as a family, working for family, making work into family. Moon in Aquarius in the 5th conjunct Uranus, freedom very important to 'be creative' in whatever way is necessary. Emotionally further away from one feelings, more likely to identify with those that are oppressed.   Partnered with Walter. Bowl-shape chart with a cluster in the 5th Virgo Asc = attention to detail, more shy possibly, needing things to be 'perfect'....cleanliness important etc  Sun Capricorn in the 5th= needing to 'shine', to be recognised and thanked and acknowledged.

This week I am discussing Arabic Parts: Their history and use in a chart. (Refer back to Episode 57 for discussion on the Part of Fortune.) Here is the website you can use to find your parts: http://libracentre.com/arabic_parts_chart.php You will need to start with your own chart and use your Ascendant sign and degree and the planet's signs and degrees. There is always some sort of calculation like Asc-Sun+Moon or whatever. Astro.com will only provide you with the Part of Fortune, which is extremely useful. The libra website will give you the calculation, it's your job to make sense of it and what it might mean for you. Experiment and let me know how you get on! My Part of Fortune is 29 Scorpio 22'41" ...nothing is happening with that until Nov and Dec this year. Find your Parts or Lots and use this years Ephemeris to find out what might be transiting yours.
