ANTISCIA Sep/2012

Welcome. Here's the list of planetary antiscia for the month of September:

2^nd, 3^rd – Mercury|Saturn (c)

2^nd – Mercury|Venus *

4^th, 5^th – Venus|Neptune *

6^th, 7^th, 8^th – Venus|Node

12^th, 13^th – Mercury|Uranus

12^th – Mercury|Pluto *

14^th, 15^th – Sun|Uranus

14^th, 15^th – Sun|Pluto *

15^th – Mars * (15 Scorpio)

16^th – Mercury (0 Libra)

16^th – 23^rd / 24^th – 30^th – Saturn|Neptune

17^th, 18^th – Venus|Mars (c)

18^th – Sun|Mercury (c)

19^th – Venus * (15 Leo)

22^nd – Sun (0 Libra)

24^th – Mercury|Jupiter *

Planets in antiscia and contra-antiscia reflect one another across the cardinal axis. They have been recognized to show sympathy and connection for at least two thousand years. Every planet at any given time has a shadow-point reflected across the axis, when another planet moves into the domain of this shadow a connection is established. This connection creates a planetary pair, with the Aries Point (which is any of the zero degree points of the cardinal signs) at the midpoint. These planetary pairs provide insight into the energy of the day, as well as enhancing delineation of a natal chart.

The cardinal axis (Aries Point) is essentially the Node of the Sun. It is through this point that each one of us connects to the world, and so it is a point we all share.

To use this list, simply blend the meanings of planets in combination. Bold dates indicate the strongest day for a particular planetary expression. Dates showing only one planet indicate its ingress into a Cardinal sign, i.e. it is sitting directly on the cardinal axis, and so should feature prominently that day. Those marked with an asterisk are antiscia formed around the midpoint of two Cardinal signs, the midpoint being 15 degrees Fixed. Those with a (c) indicate contra-antiscia and are sympathetic signs arranged around the Aries/Libra axis. 

This month things may get a bit squirrelly around the 14/15^th when the Sun comes to the direct antiscia of Uranus - at the same time picking up Pluto by 45 - where Mars rests at their exact midpoint. Sun + Uranus|Pluto = Mars @ 15 Scorpio. 

On the 90 degree dial, the combination looks like this: 

I assume it has to do with the presidency since the TNP Kronos, a symbol of ruling powers, great height, and government, is tied in with the ongoing Uranus Pluto revolutionary square aspect. Sun|Kronos classically represents the president. 

Hmmm...

Following the intense Sun Uranus Pluto Mars business, we will see a return of the antiscia of Saturn|Neptune. This combination lingered on the cardinal axis for a long time earlier this year (late January through early April 2012). Expect issues important then to be very up again.

The sociological correspondence and probable manifestations of Saturn|Neptune per Reinhold Ebertin's often depressing work, The Combination of Stellar Influences, says:

Poor, sick or depressed persons.

+ The methodical execution of plans, the slow attainment of success through intense activity and great painstaking effort.

- Painful or tormenting inhibitions, undermining circumstances also leading to a state of illness, neuroses or diseases with causes difficult to ascertain. 

Sun @ 0 Libra brings extra focus to Saturn|Neptune on the 22^nd:  

Feedback, questions or comments are welcome.

Hi, Thanks so much for this list and please continue! Big fan of antiscia!

[Kate]

Thank you, Jonathan!

I'm thinking of adding the Moon next month.

[Jonathan Pearl]

That would be great!

Are you only doing hard aspects?

By @ Mars will be 15 Aq on Friday 9/14. So this means there is Mars trine Jupiter by @. I don't see anything listed.
