Astrology on Nintendo DS

It’s kind of cool that astrology has reached into modern times, and can now be bought on Nintendo, the ancients will be turning in their graves, or wishing they could play (laugh) fighting for the next go. I did see snapshots of the game and it may me more for fun. I am wondering whether some astrologer’s may hate it. I think it’s good for teenagers, but then I like games. I have an astrology board game call “Star encounters” it’s only me who plays it, (remember prometheus lonliness). Well anyway the game is out tomorrow and a newspaper just rated it 0/5 because he can’t believe anyone still believes in this “dross astrology”. Closed minds I guess…

What I do want is some of the astrology talks on CD, the ones you can load on computer and listen to famous astrologer’s like Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas. I was going to get one, but I need louder speakers on my computer. I would love an astrology channel all day with lectures by Liz Greene, Donna Cunningham, and all of the astrologer’s out there. I would never leave my settee

Willie Nelson

Happy Birthday Willie Nelson, he has made over 200 albums! Life hasn’t always run smoothly for him, during 1990 he faced severe financial difficulty with the IRS. Agents raiding and locking down his properties. Willie had stacked up a 32, million dollar bill, and he desperately tried to negotiate it down due to the bad financial advice he had received. (The bill was paid in 1993 and settled).

I had a look at his transits to see what was occurring astrologically for this time. Transiting Jupiter in Leo squared his natal Sun in Taurus (resources), and opposed natal Saturn in Aquarius forming a t,square involving Sun/Jupiter/Saturn. The reality (Saturn) was that his financial excesses (Jupiter) needed to be paid in full. Natally Sun in Taurus square to Saturn describes practical goals and creativity in tangible form. Willie faced some hard lessons in learning how to handle his resources. Willie had to learn how to be more self-sufficient and not rely on unsound advice which eventually cost him millions! The Sun is conjunct Venus in Taurus and square to Saturn, it can mean material and financial hardship. Transiting Saturn in Capricorn (government) was opposed his natal Pluto (power). Transiting Neptune was square to Mercury (3 degree orb). Miscommunication and not facing facts.

Sadly Nelson lost his son to suicide in 1991, it happened while transiting Chiron (wound) in Leo 12th (loss) squared his natal Sun (children). It was during the year of his Jupiter return in Virgo 2nd. Transiting Uranus and Neptune were in the 5th house (children) opposing his natal Moon in Cancer and squaring Mercury in Aries. A t,square formed involving Moon/Mercury/Uranus/Neptune. Moon-Uranus can describe emotional shocks, concerning family. Neptune, and the 12th house are related to suicide, feeling lost and confused with incredible sadness. Extremely tough years in the 90’s for Willie. He has been been married 4 times and has cheated on his wives, he has also fathered 9 children. Quite an eventful life.

Tyra Banks confronts Stalker

Tyra Banks has been fearing for her safety since 38 year old stalker Brady Green has been harassing her, and threatening employees. Tyra’s security has had to be tightened, and the way she lives has had to be changed. Green sent Tyra flowers, has written love notes, and he reportedly screamed death threats at her producer, stating he would slit his throat. Tyra has confronted him in court.

 What astrologically could be describing this tense and psychologically frightening time? Transiting Pluto in Capricorn 6th is opposed Saturn in Cancer 12th and both square to Moon in Aries on the M.C, a t,square configuration of Moon/Saturn/Pluto.

 

Sense of security (Moon) under threat (Pluto)

Moon-Pluto can describe a time of feeling (Moon) terrified (Pluto), and Tyra is going through some turbulent emotions. Pluto in 6th (threats to employees) and Saturn-opposite Pluto can describe our boundaries being violently violated, both planets have control issues. Tyra will be experiencing some frustration because she feels controlled by outside forces. Tyra’s personal life is currently being dominated (Pluto) by fear (Saturn). A difficult and tense t,square with her Moon in Aries at the focal point. All causing strain on her work (6th) and public life (10th) and having her independence (Moon in Aries) limited while she has been in hiding (12th).

Michelle Pfeiffer

Happy Birthday to Michelle Pfeiffer! She is an American Actress who has starred in films such as “Batman” and “Scarface”. Michelle also starred in one of my favourite films with Harrison Ford ”What Lies Beneath”. Michelle played Stephanie Zinone in Grease 2, a movie she might want to forget, but I don’t think it was that bad. Michelle Pfeiffer is a very likable actress, and she is the comeback queen despite earlier films not being well received.

Michelle has quite an interesting chart, she is born in the security conscious sign of Taurus, and her Sun is hidden in the 12th house sector of the chart. The 12th house lies behind our identity and public face (Asc).  The 12th house Taurean Sun describes a need to give in practical and creative ways to society, often with a 12th house planet part of the personal life is sacrificed. The Sun placed here can also be unaware of a need for recognition, because psychologically they feel unnoticed.

Michelle found it difficult to get acting jobs after her role her in “Grease 2″ was critically slaughtered by reviewers. A director having seen the movie refused to audition Michelle for the film “Scarface”, he overlooked her (Sun in 12th). However, after being auditioned she won the part, and the movie was commercially successful.

Michelle’s Sun is disposited by Venus in Pisces (exalted) in the 10th house, Venus is in hard angle to Saturn.Obviously Michelle is stunning to look at, particularly her blue eyes. I have never been an astrologer for determining  physical appearance in the natal chart, as often they are not correct. I have seen Venus-Saturn in a few charts of women who are beauty queens, and Michelle has been “Miss Orange County”. 

Michelle’s first marriage ended in divorce because of strong devotion to work, and her ex didn’t haven’t much time for love and romance. Venus-Saturn often describes a conflict between love (Venus) and duty (Saturn). Natally Saturn describes where we need to be self-sufficient and separate, Saturn rules the 10th sector of the horoscope it relates to ones career and aspirations. The love vs duty aspect is powerful in Pfeiffer’s chart because Saturn is placed in the 7th house, which is Venus’ domain, and Venus is placed in the 10th house, which is Saturn’s domain.

Michelle didn’t want to wait around for a new relationship to have children, she wanted children immediately, and she went ahead with adoption proceedings without a full time partner. Natally she has Mercury in the decisive sign of Aries placed in the 11th house of hopes and wishes, Uranus was transiting through Capricorn in 8th at this time and squared natal Mercury, Michelle would have been feeling opinionated, decisive and rebellious (Uranus).

Uranus in 8th Capricorn can upset the ”traditional” forms of joint partnership, resources and shared values (8th), and this whole period can be unsettling yet progressive. Transiting Neptune (dreams) was conjunct transiting Uranus, and the configuration forms a cardinal t.square to Jupiter in Libra (5th) the opportunity for growth and expansion comes through her relationships with her children, and generosity extended towards them. Natal  Mercury-Jupiter does tend to jump in too soon with decisions especially with Mercury placed in impulsive Aries, and she wouldn’t wait around for Mr Right!

Natally Michelle has Neptune in 5th house, and this placement often describes fostering or adopting children, out of compassion.The planet can often describe a deep longing for a child, and there is the element of sacrifice and redemption, in other circumstances children can be taken into foster care, or may be artistically gifted. The adoption occurred in the year of her Jupiter return in the 5th house (children) this can increase your chances of children. Michelle married at this time, and also got pregnant.

Jupiter returning to her natal 5th house certainly brought children and romance. Lyn Birkbeck describes this period as promising but you can have OTT experiences. I guess it can be a time when you get too much at once. Transiting Saturn was moving over her midheaven in Aquarius conjunct Chiron. This would have been stimulating her wound of unable to fit into the status qua or being an outsider, but the transit can also define her aspirations and her need to contribute to society (Aquarius).

New Forum

I have a new astrology forum, all you virtual reality people are welcome, and you can find it at the top of my blog with all of my other page subjects. Every other astrology blog seemed to have one, so here’s mine. Copy Cat…

Transits Today

A new equalities bill has been put into place today, it will force those in power (Pluto in Capricorn) to disclose the gender pay gap  in their organisation. The bill is to increase fairness and diversity and help Britain in the global economy. Age, race and gender discrimination will be under new equal laws. The new equalities bill is taking place under the conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius.

The future orientated and reforming spirit of Jupiter in Aquarius can describe strong beliefs in equality. Neptune in Aquarius is about greater openness to the differences between people. Neptune dreams of dissolving differences so that there is a greater unity between all. However, with Chiron in Aquarius it describes our collective wound, and the bitter and painful reality of social prejudice still existing no matter how many laws (Jupiter) we bring in. It is a progressive step froward,  Jupiter the planet of growth and expansion will increase awareness in  equality and fairness (Aquarius) and hopefully it will be implemented well, and bring new positive changes (Jupiter in Aquarius). The wound (Chiron) of inequality will still remain… The movements in the sky often reflect the profound truths of any given time.
