Astrology In Real Life: Use Your Energy In A Positive Way - Yeah, But How?
Astrology in real life…
Say you’ve got a problem. And let’s say you’ve got the hang of astrology or perhaps you consult an astrologer and they isolate some problem or pathology to a specific aspect in your chart. Now what?
Well if the astrologer is me, they will tell you the energy is yours and that energy is neutral until directed, meaning you can find a positive way to channel it. And I haven’t written specifically on this topic so I thought I’d start.
Now I have Venus square Neptune notorious for problems in relationships - just check the venus neptune tag and see for yourself! Venus Neptune sees things with rose-colored glassed and while I don’t claim to have solved all the problems that are part and parcel of this aspect, I have found a myriad of ways to channel the energy that hurt no one, especially me!
One of the things I do is tell stories and when my perennial ex-boyfriend of 30 years, Scott surfaced about 6 years ago he questioned my rendering of his sister in one of my stories.
“You didn’t mention this and this,” he said. “There is nothing in there about this.”
The bits of information were negative.
“Well no I didn’t mention that. Why would I? It’s not part of the story. Not the story I’m telling anyway. Why would I put your problem with your sister in my story? Hey, interlude! Scott wants everyone to know his sister told a lie when he was 10!” I said, exaggerating.
He laughed. But a couple years later, I was with the AMF who was a painter. And I learned a lot about painting from him and one of things I learned was the models don’t look anywhere near as good in real life as they do in the paintings!
The painter, like the photo-shopper, blurs the hard edges. He or she can take an inch off the waist no problem and I realized this was a Venus Neptune phenomena.
Would you like to see the wart on the model? Depends on the painting, right?
Well depending on what story I am telling, there is no need to detail a person’s every flaw just because it exists. I am writing to inspire the reader rather than dissect the subject and becoming aware of this was very helpful in seeing a healthy way my Venus Neptune energy manifests.
If you can discover these type things that occur on their own anyway, it is fairly easy to channel more energy in the healthy direction leaving less available to get you in trouble.As an added benefit, your understanding of astrology will improve and this will bleed out in the best possible way.
Can you identify a positive manifestation of a hard aspect in your chart?

That is a very good question, but I really can’t think of anything. It’s something I have to work on. Now, the opposite I could probably tell you (negative manifestations of harmonious aspects)
Mars square Pluto is generally seen as negative but as violent as it is, it’s just violence. There are lots of things in life that ought to be violently uprooted, broken apart and purged: social prejudice, toxins in the body, a messy house full of junk, maladaptive behavioural patterns - there’s no lack of stuff the energy could be directed towards in a good way… One can also seek violence environments that are positive e.g. researching criminals, volunteering for a community that suffers from violence, engaging in combative sport etc.
How about a positive manifestation of a venus saturn square? I have that one AND the venus neptune square…what else to do but learn from my “mistakes” or know my tendencies?
Spot on what I needed to hear today and a verification of the phone call I just completed and a grand exposure of the why I was waiting on an email that didn’t show! and more importantly WHY I had put myself it a situation that I’ve been puzzling out for about 10 years now. WOOO-HOOO! Good job Elsa!! RIGHT ON TIME!! This post tied it all up in a neat little present to explain it to my dense psyche! Lesson taken.
And I bow to the Grand Mistress of Storytellers! Thank you - Thank You!!!
moonpluto - I wrote a whole series about upside of Venus Saturn recently. for some reason I can’t paste the url but if you search this:
Astrology and Love: Venus Saturn in Relationship = Delay and Deprivation?
You will pull up the first one and links at the bottom of each lead to the next.
you know, i’ve believed this concept for a very long time, but haven’t thought of it so much in relation to my chart before.
i do have 7th house saturn in pisces. in my younger years, i tended to hook up with “fixer-uppers” who often lied and sometimes had addiction issues. i so did all the work in the relationships. you know: true love will conquer all. bwaahhhahaaha! what cluelessness. and this tendency men caused me nothing but pain and frustration. i got me some therapy and a clue and stopped that crap.
later on, i worked in mental health related stuff for about 10 years, including a stint working in detox. i hadn’t consider it before, but this is another expression of that helping/sacrificing type energy; along with the confusion and illusions, and doing that kind of stuff, essentially you do go fluid, because you become the temporary container for others’ pain, helping them to manage it more or less. so that would seem pretty saturn in pisces to me.
Well . . . I have a very strong critical facility (Mars/Mercury in Scorpio, Virgo MC)add in a Sun/Saturn square and the end result goes like this: I do my best to use my ability to discern what’s going, select what I feel will help others see themselves in a more positive light, and use the innate discipline of the Sun/Saturn square to deliver the info in the best way.
Elsa also uses her Mars/Mercury to lance the wound allowing healing to follow. She is very, very good at it . . . We both could be bitches on wheels if we so choose!
I don’t know. I don’t know anything!
(Sun and moon in aspect to Neptune and a Pisces Moon)
well, the uranus/mercury opposition means i have these interesting flashes of insight from time to time. add to that two squares to saturn and it takes some effort to figure out how to share them with anyone else, though. i really have no idea how unique some of these ideas are until a couple years later i read some article somewhere and go “huh, they think this is a big thing. i just thought it made sense. obvious, right?” well, apparently not. but there’s few things i can’t learn and innovate in if i want to. i just have to want to. i guess that’s not normal. (to me it is. that’s the problem. most of my family is like that. i guess the saturn effect weighing in?) but it’s a good energy. it just takes time to master.
kind of like venus opposite pluto. i go for evolution and balance in relationships. rather than falling into self destructive spirals like i used to. i have different expectations and i never expect a relationship to be “soft” - all the good ones are demanding, but it really provokes a great deal of personal development, so i can’t complain. just buck up and do it. i like growing
“but there’s few things i can’t learn and innovate in if i want to.”
type too fast, sorry.
“_don’t_ want to.”
it would be so nice to be able to delete comments for typos. or at least edit them. though maybe that’s messy coding?
This time I am doing an experiment /That Jupiter squere Uranus may be?/ Y try to connect with some astro energy. Not in a pagan way, it is in a way as a musician might have a compass or a clock for his or her music. Don-t forget, they are only giant balls of rock or gas. Ok, this time I try to flow with venus energy, yes, that scorpionic venus energy. Everything is fine with venus, mainly when it was in libra, it helps me with my natal double t/squared moon, helps me to deal with anguish with anxiety, gives me a delicious sense of self esteem and vanity. HOWEVER!!!! lately the noises seems to me unbearable, or any thing that disturbs my sacred interior balance. I have a strong venus=libra in my chart, I can recognize that in myself. However I think the doble t.squeared gemini moon allow me to face noises, crisis, troubles, let me to talk about that crisis troubles and so on. It is positive when you learn to deal with that square energy. Anyway I think they atracts lot of troubles, and I am tired of so much troubles,…. for instance that some people thinks this is delusional… don-t you?
“though maybe that’s messy coding?” allowing editing of comments isn’t a built-in feature of the blog software elsa uses. there are plugins that do that, but it doesn’t out of the box.
A nice 5 to 10 minute window to edit would be great!
that’s what i meant- maybe it would be too much work to add in the editing feature- too messy….
Can you identify a positive manifestation of a hard aspect in your chart?
Ignoring semi-squares, semi-sextiles and such, hrmm. All I really have, I suppose, is Venus/Uranus conj. (really wide and out of sign), Venus oppo Saturn, Sun oppo Moon, and Sun/Neptune, conj. The full moon oppo, doesn’t strike me as deeply negative (like say, Sun oppo Saturn), and Venus/Uranus is way off. Obviously, if Sun/Neptune has any effects, I have no clue what they are. So that leaves Venus oppo Saturn, which sucks big green donkey dicks.
My answer therefore is no.

My mars/pluto square has always worked well for me, gives me some backbone when i’ve needed it most, kicking in with the survival theme associated with it. Both planets are retro and mutable so maybe this helps it not be so out there. And merc/nept despite giving me clouded thinking on too many an occasion does give me some wonderful flights of fancy from time to time. Neptune land can be a lovely place to visit but i’ve learned staying there too long can make saturn land that much harder to negotiate..me and saturn dont always get on too well
Although a saturn/mercury conjunction does inhibit the free flow of communication at times, it also increases my mental focus. When thinking, reading, or working mentally, I can block out almost anything that happening around me.
Yep…Mars opposed Pluto. Supposedly a signature of violence, but it isn’t for me. What it has given me is a feeling of invincibility in otherwise difficult situations.
A feeling that I can handle whatever comes my way. In an acute crisis I can hit the ground running, and I know that I have comforted many people who are under a lot of stress through energies that are driven by my Aries Mars.
Aries Mars can be rash, but it has allowed me to take ‘perfect aim’ in situations that call for a ‘perfect shot’.
also- i can learn things, but _doing_ them is a different story.
difficulty implementing my ideas. maybe that’s the saturn part of the mess. (but it forces me to do lots of research, which helps me in all sorts of unexpected ways….)
I have a exact Neptune Mars conjunction and while I dont always have a hold of it, im always trying to consciously channel it postively by being involved in music, I take dance classes, play piano and guitar, write and paint and volunteer at community radio, anything that physcially (mars) uses my energy for art and something musical (Neptune). I also have a strong pluto-saturn-sun-venus conjunction which can be described as destructive but it positively gives me stregth, courage and backbone and balances my Neptune-Mars and Pisces ASC.
Moon/Saturn opposition: I had tendencies to depression earlier in my life, though with time and lots of practice working my way out of deep pits, I guess I feel now that i can pitch my emotions pretty much where i want them to be.
Mercury/Neptune opposition among other hard aspects. I guess it makes me really interested in epistemology. That’s good right? Because I want to argue that I have one reality and know it.
