Astrodienst Online Feedback Area Archive January 2003


Well, your daily horoscope reading certainly hit the nail on the head this time. A little too hard, I have to say. Chiron square Saturn now!?! Just when I was congratulating myself that I was over Mars square Neptune and Neptune conjunct Mercury?! If I get one more f#***# Chiron transit, I will hang myself, I swear!

(Sorry about this outburst, Alois, but I have nowhere else to vent. Feel free to delete it.)

Hallo,

meine kürzlich gestellten Fragen zu den unterschiedlichen Zeitraumangaben unter Vorschau und langfristige Themen sind wohl aus der Feedbackliste verschwunden. Was bedeutet das?

Alois adds: Alle Beiträge vor dem 16. Januar stehen bereits im Archiv. Ihre Frage ist bereits im FAQ beantwortet - ich beantworte nicht alle Fragen wiederholt. Man kann ja ein bisschen suchen gehen...

FAQ -> Free Horoscopes -> Personal Daily Horoscope -> Why do you give different transit durations / orbs in the Daily Horoscope and the Forecast?

Wenn man nicht englisch kann, gibt es sehr lustige automatische Webseiten-uebersetzungsprogramme online, z.B. bei Google -> language tools

Englisches Original:

Why do you give different transit durations / orbs in the Daily Horoscope and the Forecast? We use a different computing style in "Transits of the Year" and "Horoscope Calendar" (which constitutes the basis for the Personal Daily Horoscope) on one hand, and "Astrotext Forecast" on the other. "Astrotext Forecast" considers transits only when the moving planet is within a 1-degree orb. When it goes out of orb, the transit ends, and it re-appears when the planet goes retrograde and comes into orb again. The first two reports make a more detailed analysis of the motion pattern, and consider transits to be active from the first entry into orb up to the last exit. In the graphics of the printed versions, the times in orb are shown as a solid line and the times in between as dotted lines. A transit theme is really over only after the last exit.

Both approaches can be considered valid. Transits cannot be nailed down so precisely, and the choice of orb would be a subject for endless discussion. What is really reliable is the date when a transit is exact. The building up period before and the calming down period after can vary.

Deutsche Maschinenüberstzung:

Warum Sie geben unterschiedliche Durchfahrtdauer/-orbs im täglichen Horoscope und in der Prognose? Wir verwenden eine andere rechnende Art bei "den Transporten des Jahres" und "des Kalenders Horoscope" (der die Grundlage für das persönliche tägliche Horoscope festsetzt), einerseits, und "Astrotext prognostiziert" auf dem anderen. "prognostiziertes Astrotext" betrachtet Durchfahrten, nur wenn der bewegliche Planet innerhalb eines orb 1-degree ist. Wenn es vom orb erlischt, beendet die Durchfahrt, und sie erscheint wieder, wenn der Planet rückläufig geht und in orb wieder kommt. Die ersten zwei Reports bilden eine ausführlichere Analyse vom Bewegungsmuster, und betrachten Durchfahrten, von der ersten Eintragung in orb bis zum letzten Ausgang aktiv zu sein. In den Graphiken der gedruckten Versionen, werden die Zeiten im orb als Vollinie und die Zeiten in-between als punktierte Linien gezeigt. Ein Durchfahrtthema sein wirklich rüber nur nach dem letzten Ausgang.

Beide Annäherungen können als gültig gelten. Durchfahrten können nicht unten so genau genagelt werden, und die Wahl von orb würde ein Thema für endlose Diskussion sein. Was wirklich zuverlässig ist, ist das Datum, als eine Durchfahrt genau ist. Die Aufbauenperiode vorher und das Beruhigen hinunter Periode nach Dose verändern sich.

Have fun with google. Transite können ja nicht unten so genau genagelt werden. Noch lustiger wirds, wenn man es jetzt wieder zurück is Englische übersetzen lässt. The wodka is strong but the meat is rotten...



And I forgot to thank the translators for the dutch text. So people, if you read this: dank jullie wel!

Hi Alois!

Thanks for putting the old feedback-files into pieces. It is a great help, as I do not have another posibility to search into sites. Yes, my browser is micro##, how did you guess that?
I hope I'm not the only one who looks into old feedback-files...
And about the search-engine: before, when I tried astro in Google, the first site was about radiology and you were the second or third, and now this site is on top of the list! Congratulations!

Lieber Alois
Unter Wichtige langfristige Themen ist ein Aspekt Neptun Konjunktion Saturn in der Zeit vom 15 März 2002 bis 10 Januar 2004 aufgezeigt. In der Horoskopvorschau wird dieser Aspekt allerdings vom 14 Januar 2003 bis 10 März 2003 angegeben.Könntest du mir bitte Klarheit verschaffen? Im letzten Jahr hatte ich die gleiche Konstellation Dunkle Nacht der Seele doch in dieser Zeit hatte ich wirklich ausschließliches Glüch im Beruf und durch eine wundervolle neue Begegnung mit meiner neuen Liebe. Vielleicht auch dazu ein paar Worte.

Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße außerdem ein wunderschönes neues Jahr für dich

Hi folks! I really appreciate your site and that you kindly offer free, in addition to paid services. Very cool.
Recently, I tried to find your Web site using Google (somehow, my Astrology favorites folder had disappeared).

Results: The Astrodienst site wasn't listed on the first several pages I checked (I may have been too tired missed it but I think not.)

Since you all have such a great site, pls ensure popular search engines list Astrodienst at the the top of their search results. To do so is actually a great public service!

Cheers!

Alois adds: Our ASTRO website is very easy to remember without a search engine. Just type astro into your browser location window. Most browsers will default to www.astro.com if you just type 'astro' as the URL.

We would like to be on top of search engine lists, and we are probably the largest non-junk astrology website on this planet - this month we have had more than 2 million visitors. But you can't image what a race is going on about getting on top of search engine listings. Until recently we have not spent any energy on this subject. We have gained our leading position by word of mouth recommendations throughout the world, and by our long years of dedicated free and quality service.

There are many poor sunsign astrology and junk astrology websites which have nothing better to do than trying to get high up in search engine listings. Nobody would ever recommend them, so the search engines are their only chance, and they spend a lot of money on getting good listings. We don't.

But don't worry, we will make it into the leading rankings on the important search engines, too. Check it out two months from now. I predict we will be in the first 8 for keywords 'horoscope' and 'astrology' (currently rank 19 in google on the latter keyword).



Dear Robert Hand
I was born in Australia and live in Switzerland - the time difference means I have to calculate where I am time-wise with my astrological guidance. Your software allows astrologers to save time. Is there software or a system which will allow me as an Australian living in Switzerland to save time calculating i.e. could ASTRODIENST supply this service?
BTW Astrodienst is fantastic!
Best wishes

But I have changed the font now to Verdana, which runs wider, and I added code which now allows the guestbook text to react to the browser's view/text size settings again. Please try it out.



Is it possible to have the declinations included in the charts? I find these very useful when interpreting.

The site is great and........very generous! I am having problems deciding which of the tools relocation (as in drawing the horoscope in a new location)or respecting the planets lines as in your astro-carto-graphy here on the site are the more reliable when picking up a new residence. I have 2 different readings by professional astrologer. My chart is not a easy one and it became my quest in the recent years to find the right place to live. With transits such Pluto conjunction to my Sun and Uranus opposing my ascendent the difficulty to make a good choice speaks for itself. Is it possible to have an interview with Liz Greene in person if so what are the fees and how can it be arranged?

RHR

Chiron is an asteroid discovered in 1977 which orbits eliptically between Saturn Uranus. There is an article on this site lots of stuff on the internet about it too.

I find it to have major significance in astrology - being known as the 'wounded healer'. It corresponds to a feeling of deep vulnerability *a void* within us which can be understood by studying house, sign aspects within the natal chart.

I like your site and often check the personal daily horoscope. However, I must complain about the quality of the Italian translation. I know there are not so many Italian-speaking readers, but I think that every service should be as good. By the way, I have already noticed that the German and the English versions don't match. The reliability of your forecast could be injured. Which one is the original version? I hope you can check the Astrodienst's translation services and provide a better translation into Italian in the near future. Thank you.

Francesco [ flyerlu.xyz*xyz.hotmail.com --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
Verona, Italy --- Wednesday, January 29, 2003 at 20:36 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The basis for the daily horoscope is Robert Hand's book 'Planets in Transit', which exists also in German, Dutch and Italian book editions. Our Italian online version is derived from this book in its Italian edition, I Transiti, by Armenia. I am aware that the quality of this edition is not beyond doubts, and we hired editors to improve that original work.

Astrodienst holds the worldwide exclusive rights to use Robert Hand's text for computer horoscopes. Ten years ago, we created the Personal Horoscope Calendar, a printed calendar with one column of transit readings for each day. To fit into this printed text column, the original text was shortened by astrological editors in each language, to fit the text into the available space. Different languages have different space requirement, German for example runs about 15% longer than English for the same text - this means more sentences need to be cut in the German version than in the English. Different editors also made different decisions how to shorten the text. The text from this printed edition is now used online for the daily horoscope.

As you see, the various language editions have come into existence in complicated ways. This explains the differences in wording. There are many ways to illuminate a particular transit - it is not that one way of describing it is fundamentally more valid than another. This is not how astrology works.

If you can understand several languages, as you apparently do, you can make your choice. I personally prefer to read the English originals, for all our horoscopes, because any text suffers by translation. Only AstroClick Travel has an originally German version, and the English edition is a translation.

By the way, I look forward to your donation of some 25'000 Euro for a better new translation of all the text material of the daily horoscope into Italian. Then we can hire a good translator for a fresh edition - if you double the amount, we can even hire a top class translator. Helping is more productive than complaining - but complaining may be the national sport in Italy, even before calcio.

I have ordered both the Psychological Horoscope Analysis and Career and Vocation reports, and find them almost frighteningly accurate in many, if not most, of their interpretations (especially regarding family background). They are, and continue to be sources of continuing help and illumination.

A question, however. Why do you use such wide orbs in aspect calculation? I have found that most other more traditional approaches use much narrower orbs.

By the way, thank you for producing the most fascinating and informative website on astrology I have yet come across. My best regards to you and your staff.

Katherine S.
Boca Raton, FL, USA --- Wednesday, January 29, 2003 at 14:49 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Thanks for the excellent feedback, Katherine.

In regard to your question: Liz Greene is not one of 'other more traditional approaches'. She has developed her personal style of doing astrology and reading charts over a period of more than 35 years, and HER experiences have taught her to use orbs up to 10 degrees.

Astrology is an art, and there is little point in asking a painter 'why do you use this colour choice and painting style, while other, more traditional approaches... ?

The art would obviously turn out different, if the artist made different technical choices. But why should he/she do that and give up his/her own successful style which produces wonderful works of art?



Love your site, but why to paraphrase the Poet? I don't remember world is the stage to you in the original.... Keep it correct please, not just for charts, but for quotes too, as that's what you proud yourselves so much for.
Great site though, many thanks.

I checked my transits today only to find a some one elses! Some how Clementine's transits appeared insted of mine and I have no idea how she is. This makes me wander where mine have gone.

Another problem I had was that when I added my new baby's chart on to your site, I can up with a different riseing sign to my solar fire program. The date, place and time of birth where exactly the same, could you tell my why?
Thank you Gabrielle

Alois adds: For the baby you entered date 21 MM YYYY, the time 5:08 pm. If you made no error with these data, then our chart is certainly correct. There was daylight saving time on that date in Sydney - maybe your Solar Fire program does not know about it and you need to update.

Under you anonymous guest profile, I only find thre data sets for G, A and B.

By the way, its very recommendable to convert your profile in 'my astro' to a registered one. If not, any cleaning up of cookies on your computer will destroy your access to the server-stored data.



What happened to Varuna? It's not on your extended selection list of extra objects anymore.

My progressed Moon just conjuncted Varuna. I re-rectified my horoscope. I thought it was right before, but I was wrong.

I was also curious. Your progressed chart from the extended selection doesn't seem to progress the angles properly. What's up?

Hi,

I just wanted to know why we can't have a daily horoscope or a forecast for an event. I entered the date and time I met my boyfriend to see what would come up but I couldn't find anything for that event.

Sorry to sound demanding, I just wanted to know...

Thank you and all the best for you all (Ah, thank you so much for your lovely work! As soon as I can afford it, I will have my own yaerly forecast!)

Daniela Figueiredo

Alois adds: You can find something out about that event by reading your daily horoscope - based on your BIRTH data - for that day. By subscribing to the 'extended day choice', you can look up dates in the past.

The fact that you met your boyfriend is less an inherent 'property of that moment' and more an inherent 'temporal property of the timestream of your personal life'.

Um, I think that you guys have a little problem with accuracy... I am a Female born on Samhain (oct. 31 for non pagans), and your site insists that I am a Libra? Last time I checked, My sun was in Scorpio. The only reason why I used this site was because I needed to have a chart done for someone else, and I didn't want to spend any loot getting it done. I've had my chart done many times, for various reasons, even a few that were done in depth at much cost... This site is the only one that has EVER placed me under the sign of Libra, thus I know that I am not crazy, that this site is just inaccurate...

Hello everyone. My new boyfriend has Uranus conjunct his descendant and Sun for most of this year and the Uranus-Sun conjunction was exact on the day we met, on his 7th house cusp.

Guten Morgen miteinander,

mir ist aufgefallen, dass die Angaben zur Dauer von gleichen Transiten unter der Rubrik Vorschau und unter der Rubrik persönliches Tageshoroskop (langfristige Themen) unterschiedlich sind. Unter der Rubrik Vorschau dauert ein Transit nur ein paar Tage, unter persönliches Tageshoroskop dauert genau derselbe Transit ein paar Monate. Was kann das bedeuten?

Herzlichen Dank.

I have a question about astro-click travel. I'm planning to travel to India next year. Exactly on the place where I want to go, I see two black lines: The Pluto IC line, and the Chiron MC line and also a circle: chiron in zenith. Now I read that going to these places requires careful consideration. I have the feeling that I should go to this place to discover something, but I don't want to put myself in danger. Also the prospect of something terrible to happen, doesn't make me feel very optimistic. Can you give me an advise?
Thank you.

alauda
Amsterdam, NL --- Sunday, January 26, 2003 at 20:18 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The two lines are quite a bit apart of each other, E. Nowhere does the reading say that 'something terrible will happen'. The Chiron reading is actually quite positive.

It is important that you read the text carefully, and take everything with a grain of salt.

For a temporary residence, the experience of the Pluto line can be quite important for your development - no change is without risks, however. You cannot use astrology to work around all risks in life, I think.

Hi Alois,

I am curious-- last year's solar return chart was available in 2002 but not 2003 (even though my bday is in June)-- likewise, does astro.com have the ability to do solar returns ++years in advance?

2nd question-- I'd like to do some more astrocartography with the site. I love the travel mapping that shows pictures of the world and 'power lines', 'crossings', however if I don't know where sun valley, Iowa is, for example, on the map then I would have to do a relocation chart. I am unclear as to how to interpret the relocation chart. Would a location being on a 'pluto line' for example be a conjunction with the MC, IC or such? How would I gage my 'power line' or 'crossings' with a relocation chart? Maybe the 'crossings' refer to an exact aspect?

Best,
Jessica

San francisco, USA --- Friday, January 24, 2003 at 22:01 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The 'extended chart selection' page contains a field for start date. Use the year field there to choose your solar return year - the day and month have no effect for Solar returns.

If you don't know where Sun valley Iowa is on a map, why don't you first find out with an atlas, and click on the appoximate location in AstroClick Travel. The technique is not sensitive to location differences smaller than 100 miles, so it is not necessary to click precisely.

To gauge relocation charts with Astrocartography maps is tricky, because the maps consider planetary latitude, while the charts don't. This is why the lines for planets with considerable latitude run off from where you might expect them.

hello,
.. regarding the pronouncement of superstitious or evil (fixed stars), is this subject on par with say ..sabian symbols, or..
parts of fortune?
i do not profess to know anything about south whatever it was, its just that i try to keep an open mind.
there are certainly a lot of variations of astrology on this site, i am suprised to hear (read)such a strident statement.

Hello-- your site is the best!! I am a huge fan of Liz Greene and her works. And my dream is to have a reading with her someday and ask her all I've always wanted to know....
In the meantime , I am looking for an astrological term or configuration called SOUTH SCALE. Can anybody help me? Any book I can check? It seems to be obscure- no astrologer or website has yet been forthcoming except for the person who originally mentioned it to me during a reading. But that person is no longer available. any help greatly appreciated.

Alois adds: South Scale is a fixed star, ecliptic longitude 15 Scorpio.

PS: Ecliptic longitude is not a meaningful concept for stars off the ecliptic. I recommend Bernadette Brady's book 'Fixed Stars' and her software 'Starlight' for more insights into the subject.

Hallom liebes Astroteam,

ich habe eine Bitte an euch. Könntet ihr noch einmal den Aszendenten meines Freundes prüfen. Wenn ich ihn bei euch ausrechnen lasse, wird er mit Jungfrau angegeben. Von zwei anderen strologen habe ich die Auskunft Löweaszendent bekommen. Da ich eure Seite viel nutze, wäre ich über eine Richtigstellung, bzw. Bestätigung sehr dankbar.
Ich möchte die Daten ungern so offen übermitteln, sondern lieber direkt an einen von euch.

Alois adds: Es gibt nichts 'nachzurechnen' bei uns. Es ist eine bedauerliche Tasache, dass von manchen Astrologen zahlreiche fehlerhaft erstellte Horoskope in Umaluf gesetzt werden.

Ich habe es schon x-mal geschrieben: Der Aszendent ist der am Osthorizont eines Orts zur gegebenen Zeit aufgehende Grad der Ekliptik. Das ist eine 'Naturtatsache', über die es keinen Meinungsspielraum gibt. Wir beherrschen die astronomischen Berechnungen von Grund auf, siehe 'Swiss Ephemeris'. Rechtfertigen müssen sich nur diejenigen, die etwas anderes als Astrodienst "berechnen".

I was wondering why there are no text reports on an individual's 8th house. This is an important aspect of one's individuality and even though it may seems morbid to yearn for that answer, it is part of the cycle of life. I am unable to find any text information concerning this, is it part of the ordered chart?

Dear Alois,

a friend told me about this site. It's very good. Thanks for the lots of info!
I have a question about the inner planets, Mercurius and Venus. Can you consider the Prometheus phase of Mercurius as the Gemini/air part and the Epimetheus phase as the Virgin/earth part of this planet?
And the same question for Venus with Venus Hesperus as the Libra/air part and Venus Lucifer as the Taurus/earth part.

Hi Liz,
Thank you very much for your free site and your amazing books I recently started buying because of this site. I love your analytical, problem-solving approach to harness our inner gifts. I would really like you to write more about the special talents of gay people. As we both know, gay people are extraordinarily talented, as history has shown us with so many prolific geniuses and artists. However, most astrologists say homosexuality is from a problematic chart and not from a gifted chart as it usually is when harnessed productively. Of Course, there are problematic gays, however compulsory, and problematic heterosexuality is strongly the norm, yet, know one talks about the extraordinary gay gifts usually found in their charts such as Sun/Jupiter or Sun/Uranus conjunctions, Merc/Jup, Mer/Uranus/, Venus/Jup, Venus/Uranus, etc... I really look forward to reading about the aspects that lead to the extraordinary and gifted life journeys of gay people. The two really are inner twined. Thank you again and good luck. I can't wait.....

The website has given so much details for the transit. It is the best information I have get so far from internet however, the interpretation seems rather negative suggested during the transit. From my point of view, this negative dominate interpretation can lower the spirit of the readers. When the stars interacts with natal chart esp MC and Asc, house location plays rather important role as well. Such as the prediction of mine from the website when Neptune squres MC= appreaently defeated! If house is taken into account this transit shall focus more on the house location rather the transit itself.
Thank you for your effort in giving such a wonderful information on the website. I hope my feedback will give you a constructive consequence. Please accept my apology in advance for any upsetting feeling.

Best Regards,

Chiranut.

Manchester, UK --- Monday, January 20, 2003 at 19:17 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Thank you for the feedback.

There is a limit to what a human author can possible produce. Robert Hand wrote already more than 600 pages, just to cover the aspects of the planetary pairs in transit. To extend that material by taking into account the natal hours position and/or the transiting planet's house position, could have easily multiplied the text amount by a factor of 5 - 10, i.e. gone to 3000 - 6000 pages. No astrological author can possible cover that amount of material without running dry and stale, and no publisher could afford to translate such a volume of text into another language - or find buyers for a boring 6000 page 'cookbook'.

These are some of the limitations of our trade, and you need to be aware of them, instead of just demanding more and more detail. I think the synthesis must often happen in the heads of the readers - learn something about houses, and combine that knowledge withe the transit readings you are finding here.

Please run a natal chart separately, if you are not already aware in which houses the transits happen. There is plenty to choose from in our 'extended chart selection'.

Regarding the Neptune Square MC: This is a once-a-lifetime transit, which many people never have. Indeed its description by Robert Hand is not a prediction of great fun. It would however have been a good idea to pay attention to the 3rd paragraph of the text, which looks more at the positive side:

But all of the above concerns the worst side of this influence, which does have something positive to teach you. Even as you suffer apparent defeats, you may discover that what you are losing is not really anything significant. You may learn that the needs of your ego are not your real needs at all. Under this influence some persons find a capacity for selfless action and spiritual self-denial that makes it impossible for them ever to lose in a way that hurts them. In that case you will learn that there is really nothing to lose. This influence can be the gateway to a very highly evolved spiritual understanding, ...

Betrifft: Astroclick Reisen. Ich finde die Angaben haarstraeubend. An Punkten die für mich (und genauso bei einer Freundin) besonders belastend sind steht auf ihrer karte das maximale Glueck und Erfolg verzeichnet. Da es bei meiner Freundin genauso falsch ist gehe ich davon aus dass ihr Programm enorme Fehler aufweist. Hinzu kommt dass es statisch ist, statt sich mit den gestirnen zu verändern.

I was born in April 1963 and will soon have Uranus on cusp of 2nd and 3rd houses opposing my natal Uranus in 9th. As my natal Uranus is conjunct my Moon and Pluto, square my ascendant and opposition my natal Venus in the 3rd house, Im scared that all censored will break loose! My life is going really well at the moment (Pluto and Jupiter trine my Sun) and I have no rigid structures whatsoever in my life except a good new job. I would like to hear from others with experience of similar transits!

Alois adds: Because the ascendant is a fact of nature for a given location and time, at Astrodienst we COMPUTE ascendants with the proper astronomical procedures. We are un-democratic in this regard: We do not determine the ascendant by majority vote.

For those with a dislike for the mathematical approach, there are other ways. Try gambling websites, where it might be determined by throwing a dice. Its nearly as good as voting on it.

new delhi, india --- Saturday, January 18, 2003 at 22:13 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The systems of astrology as practised in India and in the west are quite different. This accounts probably for the difference you observe.

www.astro.com is a website for western psychological astrology, not for hindu astrology. Hindu astrology uses a fixed star based zodiac which was taken over from the Greeks in the Hellenistic times, when Hindu astrology had its main formative period.

Since then, the spring equinoctial point has moved by nearly a sign, and western astrology, which uses the tropical coordinate system of modern astronomy, has shifted its sun-signs accordingly. Hindu astrology however sticks to a zodiac of 2000 years back in time. It has developed different traditions of knowledge, also in many other respects.

Under Free Horoscopes -> extended chart selection, there are options for specialists which allow you to compute a chart also with the Hindu-style todiac.



Thank You Jerome Armstrong of Portland. I like your phrase about Varuna being on the same energetic playing field as Pluto. My suspicion is that some day I will likely agree with you for sure, but, of course, many years of study are needed. I would certainly like to see a menu of TNO's, KBO's, Centaurs etc. How about it Alois? There is certainly plenty of room for it on that page. Maybe Alois does not want astro.com to become too serious of a website, however, any site associated with Liz Greene will naturally cause such magnetism.
A question: (and please excuse my stupidity) but I'm unable to figure out the number code for 2002 AW 197. Anyone, please?

Hi Alois! Thanks for replying to my question. With such a great site, I never thought a newbie like me could receive a response. Thanks a lot.

I get the term 29-year low on my Forecast here in astro.com. I would like to show you the first sentence at it causes me a great deal of worry. I'm wondering whether it means that i'll be unlucky for the coming 29 years

iSaturn opposition Sun: A twenty-nine-year low : This may be a very discouraging time. Your vital energies are at a twenty-nine-year low, and you may feel quite incapable of dealing with the adversities that often accompany this influence./i

Please help. Thanks a lot in advance. :)

greg [ g_jusayan.xyz*xyz.yahoo.com --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
manila, philippines --- Saturday, January 18, 2003 at 18:04 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: You misunderstand. The expression 'twentynine year low' means that this is a short 'low' period in a 29 year cycle. The next such short period will come in 29 years.

The full text for Saturn Opposition Sun reads:

This may be a very discouraging time. Your vital energies are at a twenty-nine-year low, and you may feel quite incapable of dealing with the adversities that often accompany this influence.

These adversities may come from a number of sources. First of all, other people, particularly employers and other persons in authority, may oppose your plans in several areas. This is not usually a good time for successfully attaining your goals.

You may feel physically tired, as if the burdens of your life are too much for you. Quite commonly during this time people feel old, even if they are in fact young, and there is a profound sense of world- weariness. Avoid excessive strains on your health, because that can lead to a major health breakdown, particularly if you are older. Be careful of your health and conserve your energies.

Your ambitions may also be thwarted by circumstances or by other people. Even though you and your associates have the best intentions for your future, something seems to block you.

It is possible that you may be caught in some kind of relationship, for example, a bad marriage or love affair, that limits your self-expression. Quite frequently this influence brings such relationships to an end.

This period is best dealt with by understanding that it is part of a natural cycle in your life. Nothing is gained by fighting it; instead you must learn to flow with it. This influence represents a period of endings, which will be followed by new beginnings. The problem is to avoid being discouraged and frustrated by the endings. Soon you will have the opportunity to begin new projects that will build up to new peaks of achievement in about fourteen years.



Hi Alois and ian sadler,

I got into this with some zeal yesterday, and wrote out this article on the Implications of Varuna:
http://astroworld.mydd.com/archives/000384.html

It was quite interesting to compare the understanding with the TNO's and the Asteroids, as the latter went first to Planetary status, and then, over a ~50 year period, into asteroid status.

I agree that more study needs to be done to understand Varuna. It's only been two years, and is going to take a lot of work.

However, this site is invaluable as a means of education, and just as the 4 top asteroids are listed in the 'specials' section, the top TNO's being included might add a lot more study and awareness.

(10000) Pluto: 18'50 Sagittarius
(20000) Varuna: 12'04 Cancer
(28978) Ixion: 8'18 Sagittarius
(50000) Quaoar: 11'57 Sagittarius

These are the four largest, as far as I can tell from a days research. Pluto is larger by a factor of about 2 than any other known trans-Neptunian object (2200 km diameter for Pluto vs. ~1000 km diameter for (20000) Varuna, Ixion, 2002 AW197 and Quaoar).

I assume the Ixion listed in the minor planets is the same Ixion? And, does anyone know what 2002 AW197 has been named?

As a visual means to see the new paradigm check out:
http://www.alcyone.de/POrbits/english/varuna.html

This also has the discovery date of Varuna, which Ive been looking for, as November 28, 2000.

Alois,
I wrote back on January 7th with a question about my maps coming up differently. Your response that they should be the same led me to do more looking into this, since it wasn't a different calculation system.

I'm happy to report that the difference has to do with the daylight savings time discrepency in the time and place I was born. Now to figure out which is correct. Thanks again.

Alois adds: I am glad to hear that. I assumed this was the answer. And I expect that you will find that the automatic timezone assignment at our website was the correct one - if you did not use manual override. It always is with very few exceptions in disputed timzone history areas like Argentina, Chile and Brazil.

We do understand at Astrodienst what we are computing, as we run only our own software, written by myself and my staff. Software is for us not some 'black box' which needs to be mistrusted, but something we have designed and developed ourselves, and which we understand into the last detail. Astrodienst is run and managed by its software engineer(s), and we have very high technical standards. There are no technical compromises in favour of 'marketing success', as you will find them elsewhere with at a typical 'horoscopes website'.



Hallo, ich habe ein Problem. Wenn ich mein registriertes Benutzerprofil benutzt habe, kann jeder, der den PC auf dem ich gerade gelesen einschaltet, auf meine Benutzerdaten zugreifen.

Alois adds: Das Problem können ist eines des Web generell, nicht spezifisch für unsere Website. Viele PCs werden nur von einer Person benutzt, und dann ist das ganze problemlos. Im Idealfall werden sie unter einem Betriebssystem wie Linux benutzt, das die Benutzer sauber voneinander trennt und nicht jedem Zugriff auf alles gibt. Nur der weitverbreitete Schrott von Microsoft ist in dieser Hinsicht völlig verantwortungslos und gedankenlos designed - selbst bei modernen Kleinweichfenster-Versionen (XP) ist die Benutzertrennung zwar prinzipiell möglich, aber in den 'home editions' wieder abgeschaltet.

In Bezug auf www.astro.com ist das Problem aber gut lösbar, da wir das bereits vorgesehen haben:

Richten Sie auf 'mein astro' ein registriertes Profil für sich ein. In den der Rubrik 'Registrierte Benutzer-Daten sehen/ändern' müssen Sie die Option 'Speziell geschützter Zugang' auf ja stellen.

Sobald Sie nach dem Starten des Browsers erstmals auf www.astro.com zugreifen, werden Sie sich nun jedesmal auf 'mein astro' anmelden müssen.

WICHTIG - nun kommts: Wenn Sie fertig sind mit www.astro.com, müssen Sie EINES von drei Dingen tun, um die Sitzung zu beenden:
- auf 'mein astro' den Link 'Dieses Profil verlassen' benutzen
- den Browser auf Ihrem PC beenden

Alois adds: The language of the guestbook entries is the responsibility of those who write them, not of Astrodienst. But I think the issue should be communication, not quebecois language politics.

If ever possible, contributions in the feedback area should be in languages shared by the largest possible audience. For the www.astro.com website, the language usage statistics are currently:

english68.0%
german 23.6%
french 2.8%
spanish 2.4%
dutch 2.2%
italian 1.0%
Therefore, contributions should be in English or German, if the writer can manage one of these two languages. My replies will always be limited to these.



to Jerome Armstrong of Portland re: Varuna etc.:
I have to agree with Alois that the most reasonable view on the KBO's is to wait for a more complete map, however, for my own studies, I will be laboriously typing in both 50000 for Quaoar and 20000 for Varuna as these bodies appear highly significant. It would be nice to have a menu of the top 10 of the largest KBOs and centaurs. I'm surprised by Alois' comment that astrologers seem unenthusiastic to study these new bodies. Varuna seems to have something to do with relating on a collective level, which might give it domain over Libra. re: Quaoar: I've noticed this body smack dab on the MC of someone who created a school from scratch, which leads me to wonder if this body might be connected with Virgo. I think these bodies deserve more focus than to be lumped together with the myriad of other solar system dust. Your website, Alois,
is #1 in the world, so why not make it complete in all respects?

HI, I noticed that Varuna has been moved to the minor planets section, out of the additional objects section. I am finding it difficult to understand this new body, of which very little has been written, do you know of any resources?

I think that the astrology community needs to come to recognize that Pluto, Varuna, and the others grouped with them are all trans-Neptunian bodies, and our presentation of Pluto as a planet in the sense of the others is not current with either the scientific understanding, or the awareness manifesting in mundane relations.
a href=http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/faculty/jewitt/kb/pluto.htmlSo, bluntly put, one has two choices. One can either regard Pluto as the smallest, most peculiar planet moving on the most eccentric and most inclined orbit of any of the planets or one can accept that Pluto is the largest known, but otherwise completely typical, Kuiper Belt Object.... Some people see this as a demotion of Pluto from Planet-hood. I think that it can reasonably be portrayed as a promotion. Our perception of Pluto has been transformed from a singularly freakish and unexplained anomaly of the outer solar system to the leader of a rich and interesting family of trans-Neptunian bodies whose study will tell us a great deal about the origin of the solar system./a

My goodness, look at Varuna, and it's connections with George Bush, 9/11, and the Republican chart, in event, transit, and progression. Varuna is a body that is on the same 'energetic' playing field as Pluto. Look at Varuna with Kennedy's assasination, this is a paradigm tipping point planetary body.

This is going to take some work: awakening this supra-unconciousness of the trans-Neptuinians as their own group, instead of just co-opting Pluto from the bunch and calling it a day but hey, that's where the enlightenment resides.

Portland, USA --- Friday, January 17, 2003 at 19:31 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I have actually explained yesterday why we 'downgraded' Varuna. We had made it easier accessible shortly after it discovery, but not much interest in it arose in the astrological community. I think astrologers are right in holding back until a more complete picture of the objects in the Kuiper belt has developed.



Dear Alois, I've been thinking about your answer about the question about the asteroid Apollo last wednesday. There is something about asteroids in general I do not understand. That is: why do astrologers consider some asteroids as important and other asteroids not? Every time when somebody asks something about an asteroid your answer is that asteroids are not important. At the same time I am swamped to dead with things about cheiron. I thought he was also just an asteroid. Is it the place where an asteroid moves, which makes it interesting? Are the outer planets and outer stones more important then stones moving between mars and jupiter or anywhere else? Or are there simply too much moving stones in the universe and do astrologers just take a couple out of them? I think the point is very simple: you see what you want to see. And at this moment astrologers want to see centaurs. If you think centaurs are important, you definitely will see them working. And I happen to be interested in other stones, so I am going to see other stones working. Important or not important.

I forgot to ask something else. What do you know about this Taurean Star Cluster (29 degrees) called PLEIADES--is it true that it is linked to misfortune in a chart? As I understand it, we are about to have a True Node Conjunction to that degree sometime middle of this year. Is this something to be wary of?

You're a great site, thanks for all the service you provide to astrology devotees like me! I've just recently discovered the thrill of doing Return Charts, however, and I was disappointed to realize that your Extended Chart Selection doesn't include CONVERSE RETURNS nor does it provide PRECESSED/NON-PRECESSED OPTIONS for the return charts. I've read that these variations offer deeper insites into forecasting. Could you consider offering these options. Also, I've noticed that you devote a lot of attention to the asteroids, especially CHIRON, in plotting out the charts (you even have a detailed ephemeris for it). Since I cannot find anything said about it in any of my books, could you shed some light on its significance.

Edwin Diaz
Quezon City, PHILIPPINES --- Friday, January 17, 2003 at 13:47 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I think you should consider buying a specialized astrology software like Kepler or Solar Fire. Our service is targeted at the general public, not at the specialist with very particular demands. We offer only what we think is fundamentally reasonable. I think 'precessession corrected tropical astrology' is fundamentally a silly and wrong idea.

You will find more in the FAQ, "Could you add a certain new (more specialised) chart technique to the extended chart selection?"

I am having trouble finding information on Varuna. It is grouped with some other major signifiers on your free chart page. (I find the Goddess asteroids to be most helpful and was sad to find them missing from your natal reports.) Where should I look for information on this demoted god, Varuna? Is there some sort of Ouranos correlation? The Internet hasn't helped much...
Any advice would be appreciated!

Xavier [ hoodwink.xyz*xyz.charter.net --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
Madtown, USA --- Friday, January 17, 2003 at 04:28 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Varuna was the first large Kuiper belt object, and it seemed interesting to us when it was discovered. Many astrologers were curious where it would land in their charts. In the meantime, more such objects have been found, and most astrologers sit back and wait what else is to come up in the outer reaches of the solar system. Varuna seems less interesting today.

I have taken Varuna now out of the chart selection page. Of course, it can still be entered into the chart like any other asteroid, by adding its number (20000) in the asteroid field.



I am but a baby in the knowledge of astrology, although the subject has always intrigued me! I would like to thank you for a very detailed and informative site! For once, I can acquire info when I want it. Well done and keep up the good work!

The report 'Career and Vocation' will be very helpful for your question. Please chech out the description in the AstroShop area, and have a look at the examples.

Congratulations for your web, it's really good and interesting.
I have a doubt: I thought I had a stellium in the third house, where I have the sun, mercury and venus. However, I read in your astro dictionary the definition of stellium and it says there must be FOUR or more planets in one house. Then I've read the definition of satellitium (synonim) and it talks about FIVE or more planets. The question is: how many planets are necessary to have a stellium? The information in your dictionary seems a bit confusing... Thank you very much for your help!

Gemma
--- Wednesday, January 15, 2003 at 21:32 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I agree with you. Following the practice of Liz Greene, I consider as a stellium the presence of three planets in a house (or in a sign).

Sometimes a narrower definition is applied: The planets must all be in conjunction, i.e. three or more planets form a chain, where the maximum distance between neighbours is within the orb for the conjunction (we use commonly 10° orbs).

Please be aware that the Astro Dictionary we offer via the link at your left is not our own creation, but is linked to the Matrix Digital Library and its content. Opinions and definitions by astrologers vary, and several authors have contributed to the Matrix digital library, who sometimes contradict each other.

There is no unified body of doctrine in astrology. You might be familiar with the same situation in fields like religion, medicine, philosophy or psychology. They all have no unified body of doctrine, but different, often contradicting schools of thought, emphasis, practice and tradition.

Alois adds: Thanks for that feedback, and thanks to Juri, our web designer, for his quick talent and his taste.

Some will notice other small changes, e.g. the URL of the key pages (homepage, horoscope selection, atlas page, astrology information area have changed). The new URL concept makes it easier to remember important areas on our website. It is easier to tell others about it, if the link is as simple as www.astro.com/horoscopes (or oroscopi in Italian, horoscopos in Spanish, horoskope in German, horoscopen in Dutch etc).

We also expect to get a better rating by Google due to the redesign. It is a scandal that www.astro.com is certainly among the three most visited astrology and horoscope websites on this planet, but that it appears on Google and other search engines only far down in the list. We are about to change that, and you will see more of our effort soon.

The positive thing is that those changes which helps the search engines to classify our website better also helps our users to find the information easier. We have simply neglected these issues for a long time and concentrated only on the improvement of our services, not on the increase of our visibility. Usually, we are discovered by accident, or because a friend tells you, not because a search engine listed us. In the future, we hope to get both.



I am a newcomer exploring. I am fascinated and will be ordering a more detailed reading very soon. In the meantime, can someone tell me what a true node is. Much appreciated.

Hi Alois,

I just read the article of Liz Greene about the sungod Apollo. And now I have a question about interpreting the asteroid Apollo in a horoscope. I really do not know what to do with it. Apollo is a very important god, but can one consider an asteroid in a horoscope as a god? Or even consider it as a second sun? Why doesn't anybody use such an important thing as a sungod in a horoscope?
And can you tell me something about the asteroid Apollo in general? For example: where is it, what kind of asteroid is it?
A lot of questions, but I hope you can help me a little bit...

I had just turned sixty and in this day and age that is not as old as it used to be. I have taken good care of myself and no one guesses my age. Well, I am certainly aware of it now.

I have probably missed the obvious but why do you request in 'my astro' to check off 'location' in world(which in my case is great britain) then when I check off 'london', ask again from a long list of londons which one. Surely this is unnecessary duplication? I have no criticism of the site, I recommend always to any one intested in astrology, and used it faithfully myself for over 3 years. Thank you for all you help over these years. But that one point has niggled me for years.

Great site no doubt. Interestingly however the forecasts are cut and paste information repeating after few months. Information are vague, duplicated and ambiguous. For the same period in one corner it says excellent period and some other corner it says for the same period as very bad. More fun is the Sun sign comes ss Scoprpio where as from another astrologer using the software (these software made life so simple) tells my Sun sign is Libra.
Further why not we see some of the future predictions and with a date when the prediction is published. Now any one can say that he or she calculated Bill Clinton will not stand for reelection. But I coul dnot see to predict if Iraq war will be there or when the next nuclear bomb will be exploded or if President Bush will seek for reelection or how come International Share Market will rise or fall so that our Super investments turn from red to black. ANy way It is the astrlogers and not the astrology should be blamed for contradictory forecasting.
Any way enjoy your visit to this site and send feedback to get it improved.
