Sleeping Beauty, Astrology, Venus and Eris square Pluto

VENUS, the Goddess of women, beauty, luxury, money and vanity and ERIS the “Uninvited Guest or 13th Fairy in The Fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty, Goddess of discord and chaos, MARS’ sister meet at 23+ ARIES and both square PLUTO in CAPRICORN.

Golden_Apple_of_Discord_by_Jacob_Jordaens / Public domain

ERIS was the Goddess or personified spirit or daimona of strife, discord, contention and rivalry. She was often portrayed, haunting the battlefield and delighting in human bloodshed.

This is MAJOR Cardinal Square discordant energy. We’ve been feeling this off-key disharmony and seeing it in the world of late.  PLUTO in an exact square with VENUS and ERIS is causing the stock market sell-off around the coronavirus which is very real.

I believe this is another tipping point and the market will continue to slide. Tempers will be flaring with Eris and Venus in fiery impatient, angry Aries. “PLUTO is Lord of DEATH and wealth.

Since 2008 when Pluto first entered the sign of corporate structure he has been slowly crashing old stable structures on a cyclical basis. We are entering PLUTO’s last 7 degrees before the planet enters Aquarius in 2023/ 2024. Things are getting more and more intense.

When I interpret a PLUTO transit for a person I tell them that it’s important for them to decide what their soul’s values are. IF one feels that one is following their soul purpose then PLUTO is LORD OF WEALTH.  Pluto is also the PLUTOCRACY the less than 1% who control the major wealth in the world. The PLUTOCRACY wants absolute control and power over the resources of the world. They have that already. Pluto also destroys those in positions of power who are not evolving to transform what Carl Jung would call the World’s Soul. 

The Collective Unconscious which PLUTO governs and the world at large, is being faced with such a choice now.

WITH VENUS in the mix in ARIES. We need to ask ourselves

Do we live with values that enhance love? Are we living our true soul values? 

Will we fight for love and beauty over corporate greed and living in a state of total control by the Plutocracy which is where it is already heading. Look at what is going on in Hong Kong. China is a hotbed of creating the coronavirus or having it planted there. China itself may be destroyed over the coronavirus. Which would be the best thing to happen. China is being extremely dictatorial to its citizens with whole cities on total lockdown, from the news I have heard on alternative secret news media. 

Remember all the Astrologers were warning you about how heavy 2020 was going to be? A friend of mine Astrologer Maurice Fernandez had been saying the minutes that the Saturn Pluto conjunction happened on January 12, 2020, that the market would fall apart right after that.

This is a time to face hard cold truth. If we don’t make hard choices, which squares imply to change our collective values and not buy into the MATERIALITY of CAPRICORN and consumer culture as it has been, then we are faced with self-destruction, from corporate greed destruction.

ERIS in infamous for throwing the Gold apple of Discord which was inscribed “For the most beautiful.” at three Goddesses, APHRODITE which is VENUS,  Hera, Zeus’s wife/ Juno in Roman, and Athena the warrior Goddess and very much like Eris herself. Each Goddess claimed it. Zeus assigned the decision making to Paris, a simple shepherd on Mount Ida. Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite/ Venus who then helped him win the heart of the beautiful Helen of Troy which inevitably resulted in the Trojan War. 

JUNO/HERA is at 20+ degrees LIBRA opposite to VENUS/ERIS,  ATHENA the other Goddess who was originally involved in the Greek Myth is at 15 degrees CAPRICORN she is actually also in this T-Square. I

TRUE SYNCHRONICITY

AS ABOVE SO BELOW. In fact, this is an exact replication of all of the Goddesses involved in the original script. I find that astonishing.

ERIS has an affinity to LILITH in this,  LILITH is moving into exact conjunction with CHIRON the WOUNDED HEALER in early degrees of ARIES. They will meet at 4+ degrees in March. The issue of dropping the weapons, surrendering to vulnerability to heal is what is most important. 

Do we collectively buy into our own egos and vanity and the expense of our souls? If so then a war on a spiritual level will ensue. PLUTO rules soul wealth not Material wealth but in Capricorn, he is walking both sides. 

ERIS is also the Goddess of those who are left out, uninvited, ignored, outcasts. We need to invite ERIS’s slow power, her anger, cleverness, and revengeful bloodlust to the table so we can hash out what to do with such powerful energies so that they can be used in a positive way.  ERIS represents the righteous anger of the Feminine for being ignored, repressed, and shunned. That ‘dark feminine energy is liberating powerful and will naturally transform when it is accepted.

ERIS and PLUTO will continue to square each other for at least the next 2 years.

If you have planets 16-30 degrees CARDINAL signs. CAPRICORN, ARIES LIBRA AND CANCER you will feel the pressure most directly.

This discord will not just go away. We need to take some long hard looks at our choices in the world. Pluto as Lord of Death and Rebirth is the strongest of planets. Choose carefully what “for the most beautiful” values the golden apple symbolizes. Is it your own ego, vanity and greed or the beauty of nature, unblemished by toxic greed, weapons, technologies and secrets by power mongers?

Do we choose love or power? This is what Carl Jung said,  there are only two emotions. Love unites, power separates and is born of fear. The choice is your power to choose love.

Remember the way things are going. PLUTO will enter AQUARIUS by 2023/2024. The revolution is inevitable.

Think feelings Mercury in Cancer

Mercury enters CANCER June 4- 26  which blend our mental focus and our conversations with our feelings. That is a good thing. Mercury is not that comfy in watery emotional Cancer though.

Mercury is in Cancer June 4-26 a quick dip into the oceanic moody depths with our minds. If information be the food of love this is your time. Feed your mind and your tummy at the same time. 

We are analyzing through an emotional filter and our thoughts will be more tender, sentimental, receptive and nurturing.  

Mercury is the Magician #1 in the Tarot and The Sign of Cancer is symbolized byt #7 The Chariot.

Cancer is the First Cardinal Water sign it represents the mother, the womb, the unconscious, the sea as the womb of all life on earth, nurturing, nourishment, food, shelter, emotional security and children, it is ruled by the moon.

THINK about the women and the children and the homeless and the hungry and those who feel like motherless children. 

Cancer is MOM, families, home, our roots, ancestors, our moods, our emotional security needs, literally where we live,  our emotional grounding, early childhoods, our tummies, what we nurture and how we nourish ourselves or not. Real estate, food and endings are also Cancerian 4th house energies. This is the sign/ house of privacy, symbolic midnight, the womb, everyone’s source. 

MERCURY in CANCER TO DO –

Have lots of family dinners, house parties, BBQ,’s happy family gatherings, get togethers, gatherings and generally lots of good eating. FOODIES rejoice. Cancer energy is all about the tummy’s fulfillment. 

File:Carlo Crivelli, madonna col bambino, 1490 c.jpg Public Domain

This is very fertile energy if you are trying to get pregnant. Or give birth to anything metaphorically speaking. 

Think about your Mother, Cancer is the Mother, your relationship with her which is primary to every human on the earth. We are our mother’s my Tibetan Buddhist teacher impressed on me. Understand that you are your mother, by virtue of having been part of everything in her life as well as her mother cellularly is phenomenal. Think about that. I know it drove me crazy for years. It is so hard to accept that we are our mothers. The Earth is our mother too. Think about all the billions of women who have given birth to every person who has ever lived. What is the state of women in the world today? 

Your stomach may be more sensitive while Mercury is in Cancer. It’s a good time to watch how meditation calms your nerves and tummy. Also be aware that you are what you eat. It’s a good time to change your diet and eat what feels good and nourishes you, not what you want to eat, or just enjoy. 

Mercury in Cancer is literally about digesting, How much info are you actually digesting in the overflow of info these days? If you are feeling overwhelmed perhaps its a good time for a fast. Just as it is healthy to take a break from eating to allow the body to rest and heal itself even for a day, it could be beneficial to take an info break too. Research shows that people are addicted to their smart phones.  take a break from your phone. Millennials don’t know life without cellphones the way us oldsters do. Just give your brain and your tummy a rest.

Capricorn Overload New Moon

This is real. A Capriciously serious NEW MOON January 16/17 @ 6:17 pm PST/ 9:17 pm EST/ Jan. 17 @ 2:17 am GMT.

A CAPRICORN CARDINAL STELLIUM of  SUN MOON MERCURY VENUS SATURN PLUTO Asteroid EROS and LILITH all in the 10th sign initiates the New Moon cycle of 2018.

As this is a HUGE amount of earthy serious CAPRICORN energy you really need to see where the EARTHY OVERLOAD is occurring in your natal chart.

CAPRICORN LOVE

Remember that VENUS is still in the Heart of the SUN. PLUTO and EROS/CUPID  the God of Sexual attraction is conjunct Pluto. That’s very deep earthy soulful long-term solid love. If you meet someone in the next while or have just met them this could be a karmic keeper. This someone may be much older than you. 

This Capricorn New Moon overload tells us to stay grounded in being on the earth present real and responsible. Venus in CAPRICORN tells us to make love real stable solid our backbone. We need to take karmic responsibility for ourselves first. Capricorn is a maturing sign. Venus and Eros’s presence adds love flirtation and romance.  

If you are a CAPRICORN or another CARDINAL SIGN- ARIES CANCER and LIBRA you will feel the effects of this grounding serious heavy responsible making New Moon. 

If you were born in 1989 -1993 with many Capricorn planets Nataly you will be feeling this as a Rebirth.

Capricorn rules corporations. As Saturn limits these we can see the end of NAFTA and many leaders of businesses and in government will be stepping down. 

Donald Trump has Saturn and Venus at 23-25 degrees CANCER and his VERTEX a Karmic intake point is at 22 degrees Capricorn. This New Moon affects him personally very strongly as all the Cappy planets fall in his 5th house of love affairs children and creative willpower and self-expression.. 

CAPRICORN rules seniors and this New Moon calls out all the Boomer women the solver haired CRONES to rule the world. To bring their earned wisdom to building a new earth that respects the divine feminine.Time’s Up is right. Saturn the Ruler of Capricorn is FATHER TIME/ the Grim Reaper. Originally Saturn had to be the Great Mother and Mother Time and the Death Goddess- like Kali. 

In the TAROT CAPRICORN is associated with The DEVIL #15

As the ancient Pagan God was PAN who was a Satyr with Goat horns and cloven hoofs who played his pan pipes. He is considered to be a version of the Goddess Horned God her lover. The Devil was invented by the Catholic Church. 

The Devil has to do with issues of projection. We project our own shadow sides onto those we disprove of which are qualities within ourselves we haven’t accepted. Donald Trump projecting “shithole countries” is really his own shit hole side he hasn’t accepted about himself.  The DEVIL card symbolizes FEAR. 

Psychologist Carl Jung said there are only two emotions. Love or Fear. Which one will you feed? Dealing with our own shadows is a major issue during this New Moon. And a very important one. 

This New Moon CAPRICORN stellium is a dress rehearsal for the big 2020 Capricorn alignments such as January 12, 2020, when the SUN PLUTO SATURN and MERCURY are all at 21-23 degrees plus JUPITER in CAPRICORN at 9 degrees. 

Let’s check some Omega Chandra symbols for further clues

“(Degree Angel: HAZIEL (HA-zee-EL) Angelic Influences, Divine Mercy, and Forgiveness)

This degree has the ability to look beyond its own frame of reference into other realities and planes of existence. It has a patient, receptive quality, and senses that answers are all around it, waiting to be had if one can only be receptive and make within oneself an empty space in which to receive the knowledge. It manifests a quiet inspiration that can access universal wisdom in a pure form.

The Chandra Symbol

“A long mirrored hallway lit with candles.” The mirrors and candles allow us to see where we are going, and this degree has a gift for both pointing out the way and helping everyone to get their bearings more clearly. It knows that no one stays any place for long – unless they need to, and even though they may feel stuck somewhere, they’re actually subconsciously loitering and don’t know it. And even when we feel lonely in our journey, if we are observant we’ll always find mirrors and candles willing to befriend us.

Pleiadian Symbol: Visitors to the hut of a great seer who lives in the mountains.

Azoth Symbol: Knights journeying through a forest in search of a dragon.

Seed degree: Aquarius 22. A master healer is gradually restructuring someone’s body. (Omega Symbol). When we tune in to those living forces of wisdom within we find we are able to use that energy to effect profound changes in this world and to help others to open up to higher states of consciousness.

A woman making lace. (Chandra Symbol). Working delicately and lovingly with the intricacies of life we find our way forward become more and more clear as it is illuminated by our intuition.”

Just want to mention what CAPRICIOUS means for more clues

1.to leap or skip about in a sprightly manner; prance; frisk; gambol.noun

2. a playful leap or skip.

3.a prank or trick; harebrained escapade.

4. a frivolous, carefree episode or activity.

5. Slang. a criminal or illegal act, as a burglary or robbery.

This adds an element of frolicking like little kids. The illegal act inference indicates something of this nature being divulged within a month of the New moon. The prank- was it just played in Hawaii? Will there be more? 

Time to re-read Gilles goat-Boy?

MY RECOMMENDATION:

Stock up on fetta and other goat milk products. Meditate on what your karmic lessons are and what you need to take complete responsibility for. Build your future goals. Discipline patience and getting the job done are Capricornian traits.

Venus in Cancer women mother love

VENUS enters Cancer: July 31 EDT until August 26.

This is a very emotional sentimental traditionally mothering nurturing time. We want to head to the waters to our place of emotional safety and refuge.

Interesting that Venus will be in CANCER during the August 21 Great American SOLAR Eclipse in Leo. AMERICA is signified by MOM and Apple pie. Very Venus in Cancer things.

Home is where the heart is and the heart IS  home. This energy turns our hearts and our stomachs homeward bound.  This is very feminine energy, highly sensitive moody energy.

Do beautify your nest, put in a water feature, renovate a kitchen or bathroom or find a place you will love to call home.

This is the nurturing, plentiful, bountiful, beautiful Mother Goddess. The way to anyone’s heart with Venus in Cancer is literally through their stomachs.  Eat, eat like a stereotypical  Jewish Mother. Children will express more emotions and will need to be especially nurtured and cared for during this time.  

Venus, was born from the ocean,  the source of all Life,  as in the famous Botticelli painting. CANCER, is the ocean, the protective womb, the ocean. 

Venus in Cancer symbolizes strong FERTILITY. Cancer is the womb, the 4th house the unconscious, the dream world, sensation, receptivity. This is a good time to get pregnant. She is also a mermaid. 

FOOD + LOVE

Cancer is nourishment, Venus is quality. Venus in Cancer loves to eat, loves gorgeous presented food that is highly comforting and nutritious.  There will be lots of cooking going on. Do take a cooking class to learn how to prepare and cook food and as a social means too. Cancer can be crabby and defensive and this also point out to eating disorders, eating for your emotions. 

Venus in Cancer will highlight our need to protect our food from destructive GMO’s and MONSANTO’s hell-bent on destroying the food supply. Venus on the half-shell. The value of all creatures in the ocean is important, Whales, dolphins, sharks, narwhals, seals, fish,  crustaceans, these all need to be protected. 

WATER

Spend time near water, swim if you can, meditate and reflect on water. Do stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Do a water puja every day. A water puja is a ritual where you offer water to a Goddess as a thank you. Water symbolizes consciousness as well as emotions. It can be done every time you wash your hands.  

WATER is also our most precious commodity. Water shortages in California, in Brazil and in many parts of the world highlights our need to save, protect and value Water. Nestle’s CEO says humans DO NOT Have the right to water!!!! Such arrogance, such demonic energy. If we don’t have water there is no food, and no nothing else. The fashion excesses of our modern cultural show how values {Venus} are totally askew. There is technology that can make water out of thin air literally. These technologies need to be funded and brought into public usage.

PSYCHOLOGICALLY

It will be easier to express and be receptive to emotions during this month. Water dissolves all hardness so both men and women will benefit from this. Tears will flow way more easily, so use these cleansing tears as a release. 

HOME

Do beautify your nest, put in a water feature, renovate a kitchen or bathroom or find a place you will love to call home. Go visit your Mom, sisters. Appreciate your “sisterhood.”  Volunteer to help a women’s shelter, raise money for homeless people, volunteer at a food bank, or become a big sister. 

Venus rules the Arts

It’s a great time for artists to work with water themes, watercolors, a fluid evocative subtle beauty, maybe even do still life paintings.

                                                              J.M. W. Turner Norham Castle Sunrise 1845 

This planet and sign are evoked in two Tarot Trumps the EMPRESS #3 which is VENUS with the Chariot # 7 the sign of Cancer.

July 11 Moon is in earthy all business Capricorn, as of late on the 10th.

GET GOATEE weekend, You should enjoy some lovely goat cheese and a little mountain climbing would be perf too.

Capricorn Moon you know what that means. The usual CARDINAL CROSS thing. Will we miss this aspect when its gone?

FULL MOON JULY 12 @ 20 degrees Capricorn at the start of the last Decan.

Moon enters MAD SCIENTIST AQUARIUS at 8:07 pm PDT

Time to emotionally detach and study the fascinating  as Mr. SPOCK would say or Sheldon from Big Bang Theory the emotional wrecklessness of most humans.  FREEDOM, revolutionary thoughts, weird and wacky stuff. Be wild and chaotic, inventive and WI FI when Moons in the AIRWAVES the perfect description of Aquarius.

BIG NEWS is MERCURY the fleet footed messenger flying into CANCER waters late July 12 PDT

on JULY 12 at 12:45 am EDT

MERCURY Re-enters CANCER  July 12/13 -July 31 Thinking about nurturing others.

Mercury  went Retrograde at 3 degrees Cancer and overtakes that point on July 16 and zooms right through home emotional turf all of July. Mercury adapts to whichever sign he travels through. Mind is of the AIR element and rules mutable 3rd and 6th signs of GEMINI and VIRGO and Cancer is Cardinal WATER, ruled by the MOON.

Air into water is would be like a typhoon or a Hurricane. Water into air is evaporation in the scientific world.

Mercury in Cancer is the mind of the mother, who thinks of taking care of others needs  first. Mercury is comforting words and conversations. This aspect is soothing, mellow, emotionally tender, crooning.  It’s FOODIE talk shoes, Women’s conventions, renovators, nurses, communicating with or about kids, water talk, speaking from the feelings not the head.  This aspect helps us to heal ourselves through being conscious of our feelings.

The MIND moves into the Belly of the whale, the safety of Mom’s lap, home turf.  Reminiscing about childhood memories,  Watching and talking about sad movies  and weeping. Yes millions of women are sad about the recent info about the reality that broke up the Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams fantasy from The Notebook with the impending fatherhood of Ryan with Eva Mendes.  I’ll write about that when I get some time.

Mercury, considered to be a hermaphrodite sign, needs to learn how to balance in the emotional world. All brain with no feelings makes one rather like a Nazi, all cold metal, robotic.  Another initiation of the MIND/Brain into the Feminine. 

What came first the thought or the feeling?

I attended a workshop by the HEARTMATH institute when I was in Sedona in April. It was really fascinating. So check out their research, Link below.

Philip Seymour Hoffman life and death Astrology by Tara Greene

Sad tragic news of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death at 46 years old, from an  apparent heroin O.D. although the autopsy hasn’t been conclusive yet. Considered to be one of the finest actors of his generation. He won the Academy Award for his role in CAPOTE. His sudden passing has engendered a wave of shock and sadness throughout Hollywood. There was a  minute of silence on Broadway today in his honor.

Admired by his colleagues in the theatre and film for his intense, sensitive, honest, indepth acting. Mr. Hoffman leaves three young children. We will never watch more stupendous acting and directing roles which he could and would have accomplished.

He had  been an addict when younger but sober since he was 22 years old. A year ago prescription drugs then heroin and recent rehab stints were reparted. Why the relapse recently? What demons did Mr. Hoffman have?

Lets look at his astrology chart to discover who Philip really was.                                                               

 

 

Born July   23 1967 Fairport New York, no exact birth time

I have no accurate birth time so have used NOON for a famous person.

The SUN had just entered LEO the sign of the actor, the dramatic, passionate, willful leader. A new experience in being born a Leo, needing to be center stage, being admired by the world. Leo is also the sign of the child and of the heart.

As his birth time is unknown, at noon, the Moon- his Mother appears to be in Aquarius. His parents divorced when he was young and his mother brought him and three siblings up alone. Moon in Aquarius people are strong individuals, marching to their own drummers, quite brilliant thinkers. If he was born later this day, after 10 pm then his Moon would be in Pisces, the sign of inspired actors,dreamers and addicts.

Mercury at 12 degrees Cancer, Philip’s modus communication is exactly on the United States Sun. This is  a very powerful degree. Connected to Fixed Star SIRIUS. It makes him sentimental, close to his mother, his roots, his foundation. Very emotional, moody, loves children, to eat, a nurturer. 

VENUS is in VIRGO at 9 degrees. He was a workaholic, a dedicated and humble man who loved to be of service. He was very intellectual and analytical, noticing every detail of a character’s mannerism and speech which he played.  He was probably insecure underneath it all, and his own worst enemy with a very well-developed inner critic.

Mars is his masculinity, passion, drive, defenses was at 1 degree Scorpio. This man was intense, powefull, secretive, in control, demanding. He was fascinated with the shadow, his own and his characters. He loved psychology and getting right inside of whatever character he portrayed. He was quite fearless.

JUPITER- expansion, optimism, was at 12 degrees LEO. Jupiter in Leo is the King, royalty, golden, striving to be the best, can be overly optimistic. Someone who wants to taste everything in life. A natural actor, a man of great passion and heart. Jupiter is optimistic, good humour, big bellied, JOVIAL. He strove to inspire others.

SATURN represents his father, karma, obstacles,limitations. At 12 degrees ARIES it’s in square to his Mercury. This man had enormous drives and energy to burn.  A fighter, a warrior, independent and entrepreneurial spirit. An original thinker. At odds with his father and the establishment in general. Saturn in Aries limits Aries natural unlimited energy and passion, one can burn out to quickly.

URANUS at 21 degrees Virgo is conjunct Pluto at 18 degrees Virgo. This is a hallmark of an entire 60’s generation. Naturally rebellious soulful tenders of their own psyche’s garden.  

CHIRON at 29 degrees+ of PISCES is opposite Philip’s Uranus. This is a most important degree in any astrology chart as it is the very last degree possible. Considered to be an extremely karmic point it indicates finishing up an entire cycle of lifetimes and getting ready to step off the karmic wheel to become enlightened. Chiron is Retrograde, indicating that Mr. Hoffman wasn’t quite ready to complete his liberation yet.This is something of a BODHISATVA aspect. Someone who attains enlightenment but returns to the earth plane out of compassion, to ease the suffering of others.

NEPTUNE PLANET OF ADDICTIONS

is at 21 degrees SCORPIO and Retrograde squaring JUPITER. Neptune in Scorpio indicates dark passions, shadow demons, nightmares, deep-seated fear, sex, power and control issues. Facination with the dark side, with death, depression. In Square to Jupiter in Leo these demons are enlarged, ferocious, hounds of hell. It also means being too optimistic and totally fascinated with how far he could push the edge, walking the razor blade and being obsessed by it.

NEPTUNE is also the ruler of Pisces and all creative people, artists, actors, and also the planet of addictions, illusion delusion, being able to be a chameleon, which is why he was such an incredible actor. 

NORTH NODE was at 2 degrees of TAURUS. Very solid, grounded, sensual, practical, reliable was what he was supposed to embody as his highest spiritual goal. The NOrth NOde is in square to his Leo SUN, indicating a karmic imperative, a necessity, to shine that spiritual light brightly on the stage of life. This he most definitely did. The SOUTH NODE {not shown in the chart} is right on his natal MARS in Scorpio at 2 degrees. 

These aspects  indicate a  fierce inner struggle, a battle. Philip was a fearless warrior, driven by his passions to be brilliant { his SUN in  LEO} and his demons and his obsessions { Scorpio} from birth and even before.  He achieved much in a relative short life.  His chart is really not that complicated. 

ASTROLOGY AT HIS DEATH

Apparently Hoffman had recently been in rehab but had been doing heroin heavily for the past six weeks or so preceding his death. Apparently he said if he didn’t quit heroin he knew that he would die. Can Astrology predict death?

click on chart to view larger

A number of MAJOR Hard astrology transits were hitting Mr. Hoffman for the past year or so but intensifying now. His Natal SATURN- karma, and Mercury at 12 degrees of CARDINAL signs was being pummeled by PLUTO, URANUS and Venus.

URANUS conjunct Saturn alone is sudden death in and of itself.  Unexpected chaos, uncontrollable erratic energy. And Pluto squaring that and opposing his sensitive Mercury in CAncer. 

SATURN was also transiting his natal NEPTUNE, planet of addictions, secrets, power and control. That is also an intensely heavy transit meaning SATURN= death by drugs, addictions. Saturn would also be squaring his MOON in late Aquarius or early PISCES. Another heavy emotional depressing transit. 

CHIRON at 11 degrees PISCES was opposite to his Natal Venus. He has been vulnerable and weakened by that transit. His old wounds had been re-opened. Addictions, as Carl Jung astutely observed are the thirst for spirit, the pun, alcohol or other drugs to numb the pain of separation from SOURCE.

Neptune at 4 degrees + of PISCES is also opposing his natal VENUS. Venus is desire, in Virgo it is desire for perfection. The illusion of finding it, the dream of bliss, the addiction to perfection, to spacing out, freeing oneself, victimhood, or guilt or simply numbing out or just the love of being High.

Transiting NORTH NODE is exactly on his natal Mars at 1 degree Scorpio and conjunct his SOUTH NODE at 2 degrees. This is a transiting nodal reversal indicating old Scorpionic obsessions being highlighted. These nodes conjunct every 18+ years and oppose every 9+ years. In one sense he was aligned with the movement of spiritual energy now. It did involve dealing with his obsessions, his shadows. The North Node was also in square to his SUN. Fighting the demons with the LIGHT of his own WILL or merging with the Phoenix of rebirth.

The last Total Solar Eclipse at 11 degrees of SCORPIO on November 3 2013 was exactly square to Mr. Hoffman’s Jupiter in Leo. Eclipse’s will trigger energies which last up to a year. Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth and in square to his Jupiter in Leo, makes one think they are the  King and can get away with anything. Pride, hubris, danger, playing fast and dark, love of speed demons is all part of that energy. 

Philip’ s work will be remembered. My condolences to his long time partner and their three children and his family.  He left a powerful acting legacy and serves to inspire future generations.

Mr. Hoffman was a number 8 in Numerology the symbols of Strength, Justice, the Star, a karmic number. He was under the influence of the number 9 since his last birthday. He was at the end of a 10 year cycle.
