Integrating The Astrology Cookbook: The Moon Needs…

February 4th, 2012 @ 5:30 am by Satori

“Astrology is a language. If you understand this language, the sky speaks to you.”
–Dane Rudhyar

To Serve ManWhen I started studying astrology I began, as most do, by reading “cookbook” descriptions of the expression of planets in signs, Moon In Capricorn, Mars in Scorpio, and so on. Early on I realized that none of these explanations was a complete reflection of my own experience. I then investigated what is the function of each planet, without regard to its placement. Learning astrology is like learning a new language. You can communicate by learning key phrases, “donde esta el bano?” but true understanding emerges when you begin to grasp the specificity of each individual word and its meaning, conjugation, and syntax.

Synastry: Relationships And The Moon by Satori

January 12th, 2012 @ 3:13 pm by Satori

“What does not satisfy when we find it, was not the thing we were desiring.”
-C.S. Lewis

If I were to have to pick the most potent part of synastry, chart comparison, in evaluating relationships it would definitely be the Moon. The Moon by sign, element and aspect illustrates what feeds us, what satisfies. Each Moon signature provides a manual for the care and feeding of that individual. The Moon does not necessarily relate to what you think you want, but it will tell you what you need.

Mother And Child: The Moon

November 16th, 2011 @ 10:00 am by Satori

“My mother loved children. She would have given anything if I had been one.”
–Groucho Marx

crab-in-the-moonThe Moon in the natal chart signifies our emotional body, the way we relate emotionally. It is personified by its sign, house placement and aspects. These are all reflected in our emotional nature. The Moon is the archetypal mother figure. For most of us our first emotional relationship was with our mother or whoever filled that role for us. The condition of the Moon reflects our emotional experience of the mother and colors how we approach relationship in general. We are deeply affected by how “successful” we felt in that first relationship. Each individual Moon processes input differently as the nature varies from sign to sign. What works for one Moon does not necessarily work so well for another. How we integrate the feelings about our relationship to our primary parent has a great impact on our feeling of competency in relationship in general.

Transits In Aspect: The Moon, “I NEEEED!”

November 12th, 2011 @ 1:38 pm by Satori

“The Moon’s the North Wind’s cooky. He bites it, day by day, until there’s but a rim of scraps that crumble all away.”
–Vachel Lindsay

Moon loveThe Moon is needs and feelings, what is emotionally attractive and what we attract. It is what satisfies. It is also cravings. Transits to other planets can create feelings in us because everything that impacts our lives will get picked up in our emotional body. However, if you find yourself thinking, “I feeeeeeeel… I neeeeeeed… I waaaaaant…” it is usually connected to something hitting the Moon. Something is hitting your Moon by transit in some way most of the time. It’s nice to be able to look at the transiting planets and figure out whether it’s a passing fancy or something you need to take more time addressing.

Capitalism, Competition, Tolerance Of Violence, etc and All In The Blood

August 27th, 2011 @ 6:28 am by Elsa

Capitalism, Competition, Tolerance Of Violence, etc and All In The Blood

It could be argued I have more nerve then sense.  Most of what I want to talk about is risky if not completely taboo but I don’t know what to do about this because like, Jessica Rabbit, I am drawn this way.

Most who read here know that I am very interested in what is deeply rooted, or in the blood. When you’re talking about blood, you are talking about race which is of course a hot, HOT topic. We’re supposed to pretend there is no variance between the races even though evidence to the contrary is in my face every day.

Your Mother And Your Moon in Your Chart

May 18th, 2011 @ 10:00 am by Elsa

Astrology in Real Life…

moonA friend’s mother stopped in at her job. After she left, a young girl she works with asked, “Is that your Mom?” She had a lilt in her voice.

“Yes,” my friend answered. ‘That’s my Mom.”

“She seems sweet,” the girl chirped.

“Well she’s not. Be careful. I love her, she’s my mom but she is definitely not sweet…”

What is your mother, not? And where is your Moon, and how is it aspected?

Intro to Chart Reading – Beginners Workshop Series

February 11th, 2011 @ 11:25 am by Nota

In Review – Brush Up on Your Skills.

Satori and I are starting another class in the Colosseum. That’s the private message board that we use for workshops, special events and such.

This one is going to be a 3 month extravaganza of chart reading as each chart is treated as a performance piece with the owner as the star. Chart submission is voluntary but totally worth it.

You not only get a reading from one of us, but the chart will be open to members of the class for comments. In the end you get a full spectrum of readings from multiple perspectives. Plus you get to give your opinions of other charts in the class as well.

Just so we’re all on our game, I’m posting a Review of our Intro to Chart Reading Workshop. This will give you an idea of what we like to do while you brush up on your skills.

1. The Sun

2. The Moon.

3. The Ascendant.

4. Elements.

5. Qualities (or Modes)

6. Degrees.

7. Aspects.

8. Aspects continued – Sun meets moon.

9. Rising Planets.

10. Putting it all Together.

Interested in submitting your chart for this class? Click here.
Want join the class but just watch? That’s ok too. Click here.



Do You See What I See? by Nota

February 1st, 2011 @ 7:00 am by Nota

Hopefully Coherent Ramblings

What’s the first thing you pick up on when you meet someone, astrologically speaking?

The textbook answer is the rising sign, but in practice that’s not always the case. The rising is what we put out for other people to see, it isn’t necessarily what get’s noticed first though.

Distinguishing “Need” From “Like”: The Moon Vs. Venus by Satori

January 12th, 2011 @ 8:15 am by Satori

“My husband said he needed more space. So I locked him outside.”
–Roseanne Barr

my one true love, uh, I mean LIKE.Something Sam said on my earlier post, Moon Square Venus, prompted me to make a distinction between moon and Venus energies. What you want can be divided into two categories, like and need. The moon placement signifies your nature in terms of need. What you need is what satisfies. Venus placement speaks of what you like, what is aesthetically pleasing. As my moon squares my Venus, what I need does not necessarily appeal to me in terms of what I like. What I like is not necessarily emotionally satisfying.
