Asteroid Olga 304 Astrology

Image
Archetype Olga of Kiev  After listening to the Noble Blood podcast on Olga of Kiev, it inspired me to look up the asteroid Olga. I strongly suggest you listen to the podcast episode for the full story. Still, in a nutshell, Olga leads a very ruthless and brilliant revenge campaign after a neighbourhood tribe murdered her husband, Igor. It was apparent in a social setting she could mask her emotions and fool her enemy, only to deliver very strategic and personalised retribution. Dana Schwartz summarises the archetype of Olga of Kiev at the end of the podcast nicely: One final note for anyone hears the story of Olga of Kiev and is tempted to paint her 'Badass warrior queen!!' Remember she didn't participate in any of the fightings, she was a General if anything else, a leader and an orchestrator. Her mythology is to emphasise her cleverness; there's no need to paint every woman in history with some modicum of power with the same brush. I also compare Olga to the queen of...

Mercury is in Aquarius (Retrograde) in the 12th house

The thought processes and perception of information is innovative, progressive and communication can be quick, insightful and erratic. Mercury in retrograde in the natal chart means the mental processes would have been in internalized especially in earlier life, but has the potential of being highly evolved in later life.  Being in the 12 th  house of transcendence there may be an interest in esoteric knowledge and the expression of mercury can be introverted.

Moon in Sagittarius conjunct the MC (10th house).

The instinctual self, the emotional response is expressed through Sagittarius which and means they are active and adaptable. Sagittarius is known as the happy go lucky sign but can be tactless.  The sphere of life where the moon shows up is in their vocation and public reputation – emotional fulfillment will be achieved if they follow their passion. A career involving travel, higher education and philosophy will resonate with their moon; being conjunct the MC means there is a potential of public prominence in the career and able to motivate people with their passion and enthusiasm. 

Sun in Aquarius in the 11th house

The ego and life force is expressed through the sign of Aquarius which is a fixed air sign and means they are cerebral and sustaining.  Aquarius is known as the humanitarian, the rebel and can be cool and detached.  The sphere of life where the Sun shows up is the 11 th  house this is a good placement for as this is the 11 th  house is the natural home for Aquarius, this is the house of group consciousness and future direction –they will gravitate towards like-minded people, and will thrive in group situations, will like being involved in revolutionary, innovative and progressive activities. 

Australia's bush fire crisis - please send your thoughts and prayers

Image
Sharing my thoughts about the tragic and frightening bush fires here in Australia. Please pray for us and send us your thoughts! it is appreciated. The cynics will scoff at those sentiments - but believe me love, kindness, and compassion during a crisis that is unstoppable is needed more in these times. When I read comments of people praying for us in other countries, this gives me feelings of faith and solidarity - knowing that someone has compassion for us is comforting. I am shedding tears for the lives lost, including all the wildlife. I am sending all my prayers to the people that have lost loved ones, thoughts and appreciation to those fire fighters and volunteers that are on the front line, all those supporting them, the few people in power that are doing their best to make things easier and co-coordinating communication and resources,and everyone that is helping with evacuations. I also hope that the people evacuating get out safely. I pray for rain and relief, I pray t...

How to figure out what you need and want in relationships using astrology?

Image
Like a lot of people I have found what I want in a relationship and what I need, seem to be very different. I want excitement, freedom and unpredictably, but I need to feel safe and someone that will notice the details and care for me. How would I find a magical person that can fulfill all of that? Is that too much to ask? Well, yes it is... Humans are complex, we are born with our own personalities, early childhood experiences that have molded us into who we are - and we change overtime too through through our life experiences, maturity and the feedback we receive. But astrology can uncover our proclivities and hopefully by reading this you will have some 'aha' moments to help you understand why your wants, needs and desires can be out of sync. Disclaimer : you need to consider the whole chart, progressions, transits etc. of the individual to really understand the person - you shouldn't judge a person by an aspect in isolation. What you need -  The Moon ...

All about the Descendant 7th house astrology

The Descendant cusp of the 7th house The natural house of Libra which is ruled by Venus Angular or Cardinal house Crystal associated with the 7th house - Rose Quartz (carry rose quartz if you want to bring more love and compassion into partnerships and relating with others) The descendant is the sign opposite the ascendant over the western horizon at time of birth. It represents partnerships, marriage, professional partnerships including clients and the other. It is how we engage in relationships. The   7th house is how we relate to others. Planets in the 7th house, the ruler of the 7th house and aspects to the ruler will help determine what type of partner you are attracted to, and your wants and needs within partnerships. For example in my chart I have Mercury in the 7th, I have attracted Geminis and Virgos into relationships. My marriage partner is a Virgo.   My 7th house ruler is in the 1st house and with Aries on the descendant I am asse...

All about the Ascendant and 1st house in Astrology

Image
Where were you born and what time? Finding out the time and place of birth of someone that you are not reading for can be a bit of a challenge. How do you slip it in the conversation without appearing too nosy? It's not something you can naturally ask straight away when meeting someone,   unless they're obsessed with astrology like you. There is a bit of an art to obtaining this data point without appearing too full on, patience is key - after building some rapport and casually mentioning your obsession with astrology it will be   easier to ask ;) Along with date of birth, time and place of birth is the key to thoroughly understanding someone's natal chart. That information tells us what sign was on the eastern horizon the time they took their first breath in this world, at that point a snapshot of the heavens is taken and that is your star map for this life time. Note the time of birth can also be inaccurate because it really depends on how pr...

An interpretation of Princess Diana's Astrological T Square

Image
                                T-square Uranus Opposite Moon/ Square Venus Uranus the planet of individuality, evolution and freedom is in the sign of Leo the fixed fire sign which is creative, proud, playful and demands attention. This shows up in the house of shared resources, merging with others, sex and death. The Moon which is the emotions and instincts of the native, is in Aquarius which is the rebellious, individualistic and humanitarian sign and is located 2nd house of values, self-worth and resources. These planets are in opposition, this means the energies are pulling in different directions and create a see-saw effect, and there is a need to balance out the opposition. With Uranus being the dispositor of Moon in Aquarius the link is stronger between these 2 planets. The Moon opposing Uranus means a l...

An interpretation of Oprah Winfrey's nodal story

  South node in Cancer 7th house Oprah's past life/ early life lessons to overcome is a tendency towards being ruled by emotions to seek out habitual comforts as a form of self-protection, also clinging to the past and being too needy with others. This shows up in her the part of life of one to one partnerships, including romantic relationships and close friendships. In summary Oprah has to overcome using her close relationships as a security blanket and the desire to be taken care of, these relationships can hold her back, keep her living in the past and constantly clinging on to what was and what could have been. North node in Capricorn 1st house Oprah needs to learn and develop in this life in order to obtain fulfillment is to be ambitious, determined, patient and resilient.   This is building her skill set and expertise; by showing she is committed and not afraid of responsibility and stoic in the face of adversity. This lesson shows up in her p...

Mars in Leo 4th House square Moon in Scorpio 7th house

Mars which is the energy, drive and assertiveness is expressed through the fixed, fire sign Leo which is ruled by the Sun. Leo is playful, proud and regal and this gives the individual energy that is purposeful, demands attention and not afraid to lead.

Who am I? Why am I here?

Briefly I want to give a background on what got me into astrology and why I love it. My sister originally showed me a book Suzanne White's new astrology which was a combination of Eastern and Western zodiac. I am an Aries Dog, when I read it I kind of agreed with the description but it really peaked my curiosity. When and where you are born is out of your control so it seemed pretty cool to me that it could indicate how you are, I like the idea of fate. I was proud to be an Aries sun, ironically though I don't fit the description of a typical Aries, which is bold, daring and courageous. I had a very tough younger life and was shy, introvert and had a hard time with self expression and friendships. I had a turbulent inner and outer world so being interested in astrology was a good outlet for me. Over the years my love for astrology has deepened and I am doing a course though Sydney Astrology School, it is great to learn how to professionally read a chart. Astrology is ...
