My Sisters Cat

We lost a family member 7/30/2008. My sister's long time companion, Buchee died of kidney failure. She was a beautiful tortise shell colored female kitty that wandered into her yard 16 years ago and was her closet friend ever after. We were all very sad. The astrology midpoints were appropriate for the event but it was just today that I had a chance to look at the asteroids. This event took place two days before the eclipse which was right on Pluto in her chart. Eclipses will often set something off just before or right after the eclipse happens. In her chart, the asteroids Kitty and vet conjunct Pluto. The day she died, asteroid Kitty was exactly square Pluto in her chart. She had taken her to the vet 3 days before for an intraveneous hydration and went to pick her up but the Kitty was done. She lived probably 18 or more years and had a good life with my sister but we will all miss her.

Asteroid House

Asteroid House is certainly one of my favorite little rocks. It is very accurate in anything regarding real estate. I have a client that does a lot of buying and selling of homes which she improves for resale. She recently was in the process of selling her home and buying a new one. Old transiting Saturn was throwing a lot of blocks in the way but I was sure that when House hit her hot spot, which is her moon in the second house of money conjunct her natal House, the sale would go through. And it did. Right on the money.

Leg Cramps - It has been awhile since I have posted anything but today I thought I would share this information. I occasionally have been waking up with a cramp in my calf. The last time it happened I looked to see what degrees of the chart indicated the calf and it is 26 Sag which is where Pluto is currently transiting. Today I looked to see what was setting this off and it was a Mars transit as it was the last time. The asteroid Hephaistos (leg injuries or pain) was transiting my Saturn/Neptune midpoint (health issues) at the same time. Transiting Jupiter/Uranus was also transiting this area and in health matters it indicates pain that does not last very long. Good thing because it sure hurt at the time.

A tale of two cars - There are several asteroids named after cars. Honda and Mercedes are two while the classic one is Phaeton. My son-in-law went on a weekend ski trip recently and found himself with a truck that couldn't run and had to be towed a hundred miles plus. Big trouble with the vehicle. The next morning my daughter's car also ended up needed towing and off he went to rescue her using mine. I couldn't help looking at the asteroids so here they are. Honda and Phaeton were both aspecting his ASC. along with the midpoint Mercury/Saturn which is not only the midpoint for short journeys but also relates to trouble with vehicles. Transiting Jupiter was aspecting this point too and although we tend to think of Jupiter as being a benefactor, it is also about being big and this car trouble was big and expensive! The asteroid Mercedes was aspecting his natal Mars/Uranus midpoint, which is about sudden accidents or occurrences coming as a complete surprise. His truck is a Toyota with no known problems up to then and hers is an Audi. Both supposedly sound reliable vehicles. Oh those pesky asteroids!

A long delayed citizenship - I have a friend who sat for his citizenship test several years ago and after passing it has had the frustration of the papers sitting on someone's desk with no action to make his citizenship official and final. For over three years he has been talking to everyone he could without any luck on finding out why it was being held up and getting it finished. A couple of days ago it finally came through for him. In his chart he has the asteroids America, Justus (justice) and Karma all aspecting each other. Transiting Uranus and Jupiter (together meaning sudden good luck, the release of tension) came along and set them all off and this time Jupiter was the benefactor. In transit, asteroid America was aspecting his Moon (home) and his natal Mars which rules the 4th house of home in his chart. One of the asteroids for Justice was inconjunct his ASC. while the other one was aspecting his natal Venus which rules his MC. It was a good news day!

An unexpected raise - The person in question had asked for a raise several months ago and had pretty much resigned herself to not getting it, particularly since the boss kept talking about how tight money was. A few day ago, he called her and told her he had raised her salary by another $9000 a year! She was very surprised and very grateful too. Here are the asteroids for the day in her chart. The name of the boss was on her part of fortune (in the 6th house of work and daily activities) and on her relocated MC. Eureka, Enterprise and Midas (sizable money) were also aspecting the MC. The business is an alternative health clinic so the asteroids Reiki (one of the asteroids we use for alternative health practices in general), Hygiea (health practices) and House, which indicates homes, clinics, galleries and other kinds of places that house businesses, was aspecting the relocated MC. The two asteroids for jobs are Vesta and Industria which were aspecting her ASC. and MC respectively. Lastly we found one of the asteroids indicating good luck and fortune, Felicitas aspecting her Sun and relocated MC. This one had me at just the boss's name aspecting her MC! This was a good one.

Charley horse - Last week I was sitting watching TV when suddenly a charley horse in my right calf almost threw me right off the couch, it was so intense. A little investigation uncovered the Mars/Uranus midpoint and the asteroid "hephasistos" (leg injuries or problems) both on the degree of the muscle of the calf as indicated in the body parts chart from Cosmobiology. Mars was in hard aspect to my MC. Although painfull, it was another confirmation of the accuracy of midpoints, asteroids and the Cosmobiology body chart.

Elvis - My daughter, who one day may be the foremost historian on Elvis Presley, had several boot legged CDs and a DVD on Elvis given to her for her birthday last month. I had the sudden urge to watch the DVD last night, which we did. I remarked that in the scenes from the late 70's he looked like he had in a series of dreams I had about him and his deplorable condition and his fans still adoring him. These dreams were so realistic that I have never forgotten them. We watched the DVD then listened to some of his CD's and got a call from a friend that the educational/public TV was running a special called Elvis Lives, which we also watched. Elyse suggested I look at my asteroids for the night. King, Eros (love and passion) and Education were all on my ASC. The King lives and the world is still passionate about him. The asteroids Elvis, Amor and Aisleen (dreams) were on my natal Neptune (Neptune rules entertainers and dreams) and my relocated ASC. Asteroids in action!

Real Estate - I have been working with the asteroid House for real estate matters for some time now as has my friend and fellow astrologer Pat Munns. She has seen it play a significant part in it's transits where real estate issues are concerned and so have I. Yesterday, a member of my family and his wife signed the contract for a lovely piece of land, with intentions of building a home on it. The asteroid House was transiting his A/M midpoint and her Moon in her 4th house of home. His solar directed asteroid House is making a hard aspect to it's natal position which aspects his Sun, Neptune and Venus, ruler of his ASC. Her Natal asteroid House aspects her MC which is being triggered by solar directed Uranus in her chart. This was a surprising and unexpected move for both of them. Jupiter and Uranus are transiting both of their A/M midpoints and brought this unexpected good luck to them which is making them very happy.
