  • Galactic Center Thoughts part XXII

    **Here is a video that I made about the same thing, for all of you that would rather watch than read**

    I haven’t done any percentages lately about different things I’ve been looking at in regards to the Galactic Center (things that feel like they tie in with the GC but seem to function as a “amplifier” to the GC for people who are already inclined to the way that the GC functions). So, lol, I figured I would do a post about THIS very thing and show what I’ve come up with THUS far.

    I have talked about Jupiter Retrograde throughout this whole study and how I feel like it has a natural affinity with the way that the GC functions. Jupiter (retrograde or direct) has a tie with the GC energy since the GC falls in Sagittarius, but Jupiter Retrograde does feel like it has a special place here. I decided to take Mercury Rx out of this (in the original percentages I was lumping Jupiter Rx and Mercury Rx shit together which I shouldn’t have done). I haven’t fucked with Mercury Rx this go around (though I’m sure I will in future percentage calculations). Instead, this time around I was looking for the percentage of people who have Jupiter Rx (or were born during the shadow period) and/or Jupiter involved with the GC in some way (via conjunction, opposition, trine, or even the square….though I’m still not quite sure WHAT to do with the squares yet). The percentage that I came back for this was 63% – meaning 63% of people have Jupiter Rx (or born in the shadow period) and/or have Jupiter (direct or Rx) making one of the aspects mentioned before to the GC (and the planet conjunct the GC). I found that 37% of participants do not have Jupiter Rx (or born under the shadow period) and don’t have Jupiter making an aspect to the planet conjunct the GC or to the GC itself.
    To break this down even further:
    -69% of these people have Jupiter Rx (or were born during the shadow period)
    -31% of these people have Jupiter (either direct or Rx) making an aspect to the GC and planet conjunct the GC.

    To keep going with the Jupiter thing for a minute, I wanted to look and see how many people had aspects between Jupiter and Chiron, Jupiter and Saturn, and Jupiter and Uranus in their charts. The bounds for this part of the study are simple – it didn’t matter if Jupiter is direct or Rx, or if any of these objects mentioned make contacts with the GC. Since everyone in the study will have SOMETHING conjunct the GC (so far, anyway), I was just curious what the different contacts looked like between these planets (and asteroid) across the different charts. The aspects that I was taking into consideration here are the conjunction, trine, sextile, opposition, square, and quincunx.
    **Jupiter/Chiron Aspects**
    -66% of people in the study thus far have Jupiter making an aspect with Chiron
    -34% of people in the study thus far did not have Jupiter making an aspect with Chiron
    **Jupiter/Saturn Aspects**
    -57% of people in the study thus far have Jupiter making an aspect with Saturn
    -43% of people in the study thus far don’t have Jupiter making aspect with Saturn
    **Jupiter/Uranus Aspects**
    -61% of the people in the study thus far have Jupiter making an aspect with Uranus
    -39% of the people in this study thus far don’t have Jupiter making an aspect with Uranus

    Bringing up the topic of aspects for just a second, I think in the next go-around of percentages to see where things stand, I will be looking at some minor aspects (like the septile, noville, vigintile, etc.). Specifically, I think I will probably focus on the planet (or planets) conjunct the GC and if that planet also happens to make one of these more minor aspects with another planet in the chart.

    I also took a look at Chiron – both to see how many people have Chiron direct and Chiron Rx and to see how many people have Chiron making an aspect to the GC (conjunction, trine, opposition, and square are what I was looking at here). This is what I came back with:
    -50% of people have Chiron Rx SOMEWHERE in the natal chart (doesn’t have to be involved with the GC). The other 50% of people have Chiron direct.
    -54% of people have Chiron (either direct or Rx) making one of the aspects mentioned above to the GC.
    -46% of people have Chiron (either direct or Rx) NOT making one of the aspects mentioned above to the GC.
    –Chiron here should be thought of an an amplifier for the GC energy. While it’s energy certainly ties in with the GC, I think in order for Chiron (direct or Rx) to amplify the GC, something needs to be conjunct or opposite the GC in the first place. I would think that Chiron Rx would serve as a greater amplifier in these cases, since Rx energy ALSO seems to have an affinity for the GC.

    Retrograde planets were the next thing that I wanted to revisit. I looked at these from a couple of different angles, the first of which being the charts of people I would consider to be “retrograde heavy.” When I think of a retrograde heavy chart, I think of someone who has their chart ruler retrograde, or someone who has 3 or more planets retrograde in their chart (things like this make me think “ah, this person has a retrograde heavy chart”). Since everyone in the study thus far has a planet conjunct the GC, I was curious how many of these people would be considered Rx heavy. This is what I came up with:
    -60% of people have retrograde heavy charts
    -40% of people don’t have retrograde heavy charts (even if they have one or two planets retrograde somewhere)
    –I was curious to see how many retrograde heavy people may have been drawn to take part in this research, lol, since there does seem to be an affinity between retrograde planets and the GC.
    From here I wanted to look at the percentage of people who have a retrograde planet conjunct the GC. I have mentioned before some thoughts about this; while the GC seems to have an affinity for retrograde energy, I do wonder WHAT happens to planets conjunct the GC that are retrograde. Does this amplify the retrograde feeling of the planet, or does it do something along the lines of “turning” the planet direct? I could see either of these being a possibility. These are the numbers I came back for this:
    -68% of people had only direct planets (or a direct planet) conjunct the GC
    -32% of people had at least one retrograde planet conjunct the GC

    I also wanted to look at planets Out of Bounds, and how many people have Out of Bounds planets in their natal charts (since I do think that OOB planets might amplify the energy of the GC IF there is already a planet conjunct the GC, or opposing the GC). These are the numbers that I came up with:
    -28% of people have NO Out of Bounds planets in their chart
    -72% of people have at least 1 planet OOB in their chart
    –From the percentage of people that have at least one planet OOB, I broke this down further:
    -48% of people have 1 planet OOB
    -42% of people have 2 planets OOB
    -10% of people have 3 planets OOB
    -No participants had more than 3 planets OOB
    From there I wanted to look and see how many people had their OOB planet (or planets) conjunct the GC. For this, all the planets that someone has OOB didn’t have to be conjunct the GC (I was just looking to see if at least one OOB planet was conjunct the GC for the cases of people having multiple OOB planets). Here are the numbers I found:
    -79% of people that have OOB planets have at least one OOB planet conjunct the GC
    -21% of people have OOB planets that make no conjunction to the GC

  • Retrograde Planets part II

    **Just for reference, here is the original post I did on retrograde planets**
    **Lol just for good measure, here is the first YouTube Video about this stuff, and here is the second You Tube Video.**

    This is a post I have been wanting to write for a while, but outside of work for my clients and taking care of my son, my focus has been very preoccupied with the Galactic Center, lol. I’m still doing the GC stuff (obviously), but in my GC research I have been looking at retrograde planets closely. Specifically Jupiter Rx, but ALL retrograde planets seem to have an affinity for the GC energy…..or rather, retrograde motion in general just seems to have an affinity for the GC. Both the GC and Rx Motion CHANGE the planet involved.

    It’s this change that I want to talk about for a second….or more than a second hahahaha (I know my ass can get wordy as fuck), especially this change in terms of a planet being retrograde and the notions of exaltation, domicile, detriment, and fall (the 1st two of the five essential dignities of the planets – the notions of domicile/detriment and exaltation/fall). If I’m totally honest, I certainly take the ideas of domicile/detriment and exaltation/fall into consideration when I read charts for people, but I’m not ride or die with them. I think they are something to consider, but just because someone has a planet exalted doesn’t mean that planet won’t have issues, and just because someone has a planet in fall doesn’t mean that planet is totally fucked. Too often I feel like people rely on these to read when you have to take the WHOLE chart into account. I feel the same way about the notions of Triplicity, Bounds, and Face, and even the notion of the “benefic” planets and the “malefic” planets. While I think all of this should be taken note of when chart reading (I’m not saying it doesn’t have any merit), my reading of a chart doesn’t hinge on any of this stuff. However, it did get me thinking about how retrograde motion might actually change the notion of the condition of the planet (regardless of what the condition).

    PlanetHome/DomicileDetrimentExaltationFall
    SunLeoAquariusAriesLibra
    MoonCancerCapricornTaurusScorpio
    MercuryGemini/VirgoSagittariusVirgoPisces
    VenusLibra/TaurusAriesPiscesVirgo
    MarsAries/ScorpioLibraCapricornCancer
    JupiterSagittarius/PiscesGeminiCancerCapricorn
    SaturnCapricorn/AquariusCancerLibraAries
    UranusAquariusLeoScorpioTaurus
    NeptunePiscesVirgoLeoAquarius
    PlutoScorpioTaurusNo ExaltationNo Fall
    Table of Planetary Dignities

    **I want to point out that it is decently debated WHAT the exaltation and fall placements should be for Uranus and Neptune (or if they should even have them at all). Pluto has not been “assigned” a place of exaltation or fall as of now. If you are someone that doesn’t like using the outer planets, or don’t think that they should have exaltation or fall placements, just suspend disbelief or whatever for the time being.**

    The table above is of the planets and of the signs that they will naturally find themselves at “home”/domicile, in detriment, exalted, and in fall (as you can see). But I do have to wonder….what happens when you throw an Rx planet in the mix. It seems like this might actually change the whole fucking thing around (and if not the whole fucking thing, it might at least change things around in terms of the domicile/home and detriment placements).

    What is the actual nature of the planets via Retrograde Motion? What do they need to express? The table below does not cover all of it by any means, but these are some ideas of what they might need to express:

    PlanetWhat the planet needs by way of Retrograde Motion
    MercuryMercury Rx needs to lean into it’s intuition and learn to trust it. It also needs to take information step by step and piece by piece so that it can see the bigger picture (and using it’s intuition in order to do this).
    VenusVenus Rx needs to, above all else, learn to love and value itself most of all. Venus Rx points more towards Taurus than Libra, so a focus on self-worth and self-value is paramount here.
    MarsMars Rx needs to only take action on things that actually serve it’s soul purpose. Anything that doesn’t actually serve the soul’s growth might be hard for them to take action on. The action here tends to be turned more inward than anything. Any action that is taken will be thought about making the actions that are taken not as fast.
    JupiterJupiter Rx is very intuitive and will know things before they know WHY they know them. The things that is most important for Jupiter Rx people to do is break things down backwards to figure out why they know what they know from a logical and rational place.
    SaturnSaturn Rx needs to become the master of its own reality, but this needs to be done in whatever way feels the most natural for the person. This might differ considerably from how they were “taught” reality should be lived and experienced (and while not universal, there is usually conditioning that needs to be deconditioned surrounding such).
    UranusUranus Rx usually has something going on with detachment and with needing to detach from previous lifetime trauma and hang-ups. In some cases, though, I have found that there is TOO much detachment and Uranus Rx actually needs to reattach. It also needs to make sure that it can see things from an omniscient point of view, and to be as individuated as possible.
    NeptuneNeptune Rx needs to feel connected to the divine, and they need to live their lives being connected to both the conscious and the unconscious. Neptune Rx also deals with breaking the illusion that Neptune by direct motion can deal in. The breaking of illusions may not feel completely comfortable to Neptune Rx, but this is the way this energy is “supposed” to go (and something it wants to achieve).
    PlutoPluto Rx needs to feel like they are on the “right track.” If it happens to NOT be on the right track, things in the life of the Pluto Rx native will feel incredibly “off.” Being on the “right track” for the soul is so important for Pluto Rx people because more than anything these people want to reconnect with the Creator – doing what they are here on Earth to accomplish, to stay on their soul’s “task,” and then move the fuck on to whatever comes next.

    This is NOT AT ALL THE FULL SCOPE of how the different planets via retrograde motion might need to function. These are just a few ideas for each planet tossed out. Here are some ideas behind my thought process that Retrograde planets might actually be more “at home”/domicile in the planet’s traditional sign of detriment, and that they might be more in detriment in the planet’s traditional sign of domicile:

    Mercury Rx needs to learn how to trust it’s intuition and USE it’s intuition to to be able to see the big picture. Intuition is very much a Sagittarius thing (other sign’s energies are intuitive, too, but Sagittarius definitely is). Sagittarius can also see the big picture (which is something Mercury Rx needs to be able to). It almost feels like, for this reason, Mercury Rx might actually be more “at home”/domicile in Sagittarius than it would be in Gemini (where, honestly, Mercury Rx might have difficulty being able to see the big picture through the Micro lens of Gemini energy). Mercury Rx in Gemini just feels like it would get too bogged down with all the information that it is taking in to be able to see the big picture easily (or even to intuit what information they need to be taking in IN the first place).

    Venus Rx needs to be able to love and value itself – this is absolutely critical for these people. For this reason, Venus Rx points more towards the Taurus part of the Venus equation than the Libra part (Libra deals too much with close relationships and other people for Venus Rx to be able to express itself comfortably here). For this reason, Taurus probably IS a good domicile fit for Venus Rx, but I also feel like Venus’ traditional place of detriment, Aries, is a good fit for Venus Rx. Aries energy can be more self-focused, and for Venus Rx to be able to love and value itself the way that it needs to, Aries energy might be more comfortable for it to flow through.

    Mars Rx needs to be able to focus on what actions it needs to take that will actually serve the needs of the soul’s purpose. This person can have issue reacting to things quickly because they will generally have more thoughts about what actions they should be taking in the first place (perhaps even more deliberation about the action needs to occur for this person). This can actually feel pretty frustrating to the person, and I would think it might feel even more frustrating in an action-oriented sign like Aries. However, in a sign like Libra which is inclined to do more balancing/thinking over acting (and this sign certainly deliberates about stuff), Mars Rx might actually be LESS frustrated in this sign.

    Jupiter Rx can see the big picture and is extremely intuitive – this planet will “know” things from an intuitive place before knowing WHY it knows this from a logical and rational perspective. THIS is important for Jupiter Rx to actually understand what it intuitively knows in the first place (and we all know that “understanding” is a big deal for Jupiter regardless of if direct or Rx). It seems as if Jupiter Rx might not be that comfortable in Sagittarius, or at the very least would have a difficult time breaking down what they know from backwards motion to make any kind of logical and rational sense of what it does know. However, is actually seems like Gemini energy might be a good thing for Jupiter Rx, allowing this planet to do what it needs to do through the vehicle of Gemini energy (which is more of a micro lens, and that’s exactly what Jupiter Rx needs).

    Saturn Rx needs to be able to become the master of its own reality and figure out what they want their crystalized version of reality to look like. Oftentimes, this is very different than how the person was raised to think reality should be lived. Since Capricorn energy tends to be more structured and traditional than Saturn Rx actually should function, Saturn Rx may not be as comfortable in Capricorn as Saturn direct is. However, Saturn Rx might actually BE comfortable in Cancer, especially with the more personalized approach to crystalizing one’s reality needs to be taken here. There is also USUALLY some deconditioning from family patterns that needs to happen with Saturn Rx (not always, but often enough to mention) that Saturn Rx in Cancer might actually help this deconditioning to happen more easily.

    Uranus Rx need to be able to individuate itself further. It also needs to learn how to detach from any previous lifetime trauma (or even trauma from this lifetime). Detachment is an interesting notion here in general, because Uranus is detached but in Aquarius where Uranus is normally at “home,” there might be too much detachment from things that they shouldn’t detach from (such as the concept of the self which I have certainly seen with Uranus Rx in a chart). However, in Leo, Uranus Rx might be able to detach and individuate itself in such a way that it doesn’t lose it’s sense of “ego” or “identity” all together (rather, this might be FOUND in the sign of Leo more easily).

    Neptune Rx needs to be able to break through the illusions that Neptune direct may be completely comfortable living in. Not only that, but it also needs to be AWARE of these illusions (again, Neptune direct may not be as aware of this). This planet Rx also needs to be connected to both the collective conscious and collective unconscious. For these reasons, I could definitely see how Neptune Rx could function more comfortable being able to express itself through the discernment of Virgo energy over the Pisces energy.

    Pluto Rx needs to be on its particular soul path (whatever that is) or else it will feel like things in its life are “off.” The ability to STAY on the soul’s path is important here, which is why Pluto Rx might actually function better in the sign of Taurus (which is stable and secure, perhaps to a fault at times). While Pluto direct may be able to deal with the chaos that Scorpio energy can be inclined, Pluto Rx probably would feel more at home in a more “stable” sign.

    Just as a visual, here is what I’m talking about in table form (flipping things around):

    Retrograde PlanetPossible Domicile/Home PlacementPossible Detriment Placement
    Mercury RxSagittarius Gemini
    Venus RxAries (I would also keep Taurus here)Libra
    Mars RxLibraAries
    Jupiter RxGeminiSagittarius
    Saturn RxCancerCapricorn
    Uranus RxLeo Aquarius
    Neptune RxVirgoPisces
    Pluto RxTaurusScorpio

    To bring the GC into all of this (because of course I will), since the GC and retrograde motion both seem to change/charge/amplify/warp the planets (et. al) that are conjunct the GC or involved in the axis in some way, it does make me question what happens to planets that are retrograde that happen to be conjunct the GC. Does it amplify the Retrograde motion? I could totally see this happening. Or, on the flip side of this, does an Rx planet conjunct the GC end up getting changed causing it then to function more like a planet via direct motion? THIS also seems possible. I will have to sit and think about this one some more, and play around with some charts.


  • Galactic Center Thoughts part XV or: some more thoughts about how to use the GC in chart weaving

    In this blog post, I am going to play around with a couple of charts to explain how to MAYBE use the GC in chart weaving and the important pieces of the “Galactic Center Puzzle” in each of these charts that would want to be considered if you were to read the chart through the lens of the GC. I’m not really sure if “reading the chart through the lens of the GC” is the right way to put that, but since I’m still learning how to incorporate this shit myself, breaking the chart down via the lens of the GC feels most “correct” to say (and then weaving that shit back together).
    **Here is the video that goes along with this blog post for all you that would rather watch than read**
    **I also went into some of this without chart visuals in my last blog post**

    I will not be going over either of the charts in completion – just kind of pointing out exactly what should be looked at when reading from the lends of the GC.

    Chart No. 1

    This chart belongs to someone I know pretty well (or, lol, I think I know pretty well…..but you can think you know someone well all day long and not really know them at all – that’s another discussion for another day hahahaha I digress). Anywho, as you can see, they have the GC in the 9th House and Neptune is conjunct the GC within a couple of degrees. Their Mars and Jupiter are also within the window of orb that is being looked at for conjunctions as well, but since Neptune is the closest to the GC this will be the planet that is probably the most impacted BY the GC (getting a good majority of it’s “downloads” or it’s energy or whatever). This will also cause the GC to influence the way the 9th House areas of life play out for them (warped, charged, amplified, distorted, etc.). Things to consider here when reading:
    -Their 12th House, with Pisces on the cusp, will BEND to Neptune and the GC in the 9th. This causes 12th House notions (like spirituality, escape, self-sabotage, and other 12th House notions) to BEND to 9th House notions (like religion, metaphysics, travel of the mind and body, expansion, higher learning, and other 9th House notions). The GC will give an amplification/warping/charge to the things from the 12th House that bend to the 9th House. You would probably want to do the same thing with the 1st House (since Aries is on the cusp and ruled by Mars) and the 8th House (since Scorpio is on the cusp and ruled by Mars via traditional rulership…if you use traditional rulership). The 9th House will bend to itself since Sagittarius is on the 9th House cusp and Jupiter is in this house (and really, feel like it would amplify this house even more). ALL of these houses that dispose of themselves to the planets conjunct the GC will have the GC influencing the way that they BEND to the planet involved.
    -I didn’t post the declinations, but Mars and Jupiter are both out of bounds. Being close to the GC seems like it would charge these planets even more (spoiler alert: with this person it does).
    -This person has no conjunctions to the Galactic Anti-Center (GaC). While there is no planet there to take the impact from the shocking that I do think happens here, this part of the chart is still acting a lightning rod – meaning that part of the chart is getting zapped from something like the overflow from the GC. In this case, the GaC is in the 3rd House. If you knew this person the way that I do, you would know that areas of life dealing with communication are a real Achilles Heel. This person thinks they communicate well (but they don’t – this isn’t just with me, either, but just in general). Up until recently this person would not have admitted this (they may have been blinded to just what the issues actually were, and may still be blinded to some of them today) . The 3rd House areas of life do sustain “damage” (this isn’t just in this person’s case, but the GaC in everyone’s chart will probably sustain some damage just due to the energy overflow that occurs from the GC, shooting over to the GaC).
    -This person doesn’t not have Jupiter Rx (or Mercury Rx)
    -This person has no trines to the GC. The Ascendant is CLOSE to being a trine, but a little too far out of orb for me to count.
    -As I’ve mentioned before, when there are no trines, I think this makes Jupiter and Mercury very important to the translation of the stuff needing to be brought down to Earth from the GC – whatever exactly that is, and this seems like it’s a little different for everyone. This person’s drives, creativity, and beliefs are going to be charged here (among other Neptune, Mars and Jupiter things), and if they aren’t translated well it doesn’t seem like much could be done with this energy. Since they are also sextile the GaC, the trines/sextiles help to ground the lightning strikes to the GaC. Jupiter and Mercury FEEL like they could act as de-facto translator and grounder in the absence of the trine/sextile to the GC just in general.
    –In this person’s case, since Jupiter is conjunct the GC (and already absorbing some of the GC energy), I feel instinctively like Mercury is probably the planet to look at here since it isn’t involved with the GC. There Mercury is already a little difficult since Mercury (what needs to be expressed here is communication and other Mercury things) is conjunct the Descendant (and the Descendant is like the shadow side of a person – the parts of you that you might know exist but don’t really want to deal with). It makes sense that this person would actually know that they might not be the greatest at communicating (perhaps they want to be pleasing when they do this, or perhaps they function from one of the Libra darksides (like apathy) when they communicate), but since it’s conjunct the Descendant it might get “ignored”. For this person to understand their own Mercury like the back of their hand (which is also more difficult since it is combust the Sun) just feels really important to be able to even BEGIN to translate all the energy at the GC.

    Chart No. 2

    This chart belongs to me – the only reason I’m using it here is because I don’t have to ask clearance to use my own chart lol. As you can see, the GC is in my 1st House, with Venus and Uranus within a degree of the GC. Saturn and Neptune are within the window of orb that is being looked at, but for this blog post I’m going to leave Neptune out of the equation (I’ve never really counted it as conjunct the GC, personally). This will cause the GC to amplify/warp/charge/intensify the way that I express myself naturally, the way that I approach the world, and other 1st House things. Some stuff to consider when reading from the lens of the GC:
    -The 2nd House with Capricorn on the cusp, the 3rd House with Aquarius on the cusp, the 6th House with Taurus on the cusp, and the 11th House with Libra on the cusp will all bend to Saturn, Uranus and Venus respectively (and the 1st House and the GC) – these different areas of life by house feed the GC, essentially (for lack of better term).
    -I didn’t post the declinations, but Venus and Uranus are out of bounds. The Moon is OOB, too, but the Moon is too far out of orb to be considered conjunct the GC at 16-degrees Capricorn.
    -Chiron is opposite the GC and conjunct the GaC in the 7th House in Gemini. This makes Chiron the real lightning rod here. The whole area opposite the GC functions this way, but when you see a planet, Chiron, a Major Angle, the North or South Nodes (and probably other things that haven’t been looked at yet in the research) conjunct the GaC, this planet (et. al) is going to take a majority of the impact from the lightning strikes from the GC. This probably makes my Chiron more damaged than I’m even aware of (and I am aware there is damage there – I just probably don’t realize how much). This will manifest in 7th House areas of life (close relationships). I think people can probably fill in other gaps lol with Chiron in the 7th House. There
    -Jupiter is trine the GC in the 4th House in Aries and it is also Rx. Having Jupiter Rx probably does tune me in to the GC, and having it trine the GC probably does allow the stuff that is “downloaded” or charged from the GC to come down to Earth. The stuff from the GC that needs to come “down to Earth” will use Jupiter as its vehicle to do this – this will come by way of beliefs & truth (and other Jupiter things) through the core of my being, home, family, roots (and other 4th House things) in an independent, pioneering, and/or even aggressive way (among other Aries notions). This makes Jupiter Rx really important in my chart, and I need to understand it like the back of my hand since it is the ONLY planet trine the GC (and able to “do” this translation).

    I will probably do some other examples of this if I can get clearance to do so (if anyone wants to volunteer their charts for this purpose, I don’t have to use your name or anything – just a picture of the chart and something short like what I posted above to give some ideas about how to work with the GC energy).

  • Galactic Center Thoughts part XII

    LOL imagine being in the center of that shit

    **If you are more of a watcher than a reader, I have the first part of this blog post in video form here. Part II can be here. **

    In this research, I feel like we can’t have a discussion about the Galactic Center and NOT bring into the equation the weird (and even dangerous) beliefs that some well-known people with GC contacts have fostered and spread far and wide (the people that I’m looking at here have had their beliefs infiltrate other areas of life outside of just their members in some form or fashion). Since the GC falls IN Sagittarius (and Sagittarius deals with notions of truth and belief, among other things), I figured I’d might find some wonky shit going on with some well known people who are well known for the “witnessing” of their beliefs. I have said several times that I don’t think the GC is universally “good” or “bad” – really, it just kind of “is.” These people, I’m thinking, used their GC connections in fucking warped ass ways (and it does seem that while the GC can be a way to expose “truth” and find “belief,” it might also have an ability to warp “truth” and “belief” as well. Could they have done something GOOD belief-wise if they had wanted too? Probably so. Did they – some seemed to do worse than others.

    I want to point out quickly the kinds of people that I was looking for:
    -Their beliefs had/have an influence on over 1000 people in some form or fashion
    -Their beliefs infiltrated other areas of life outside of JUST them and their adherents
    -These beliefs didn’t have to ONLY be spiritual/religious in nature, but any kind of belief was up for grabs (religious/spiritual/philosophical/political/etc.)
    -The last chart I looked at isn’t for a single person, but for a group with fucked beliefs

    I also want to point out that I have never said that the GC is a “good” or “bad” thing – it just kind of “is” (like the rest of the chart). I do think the GC can act as an amplifier (and can warp things) just due to all of the energy that is going on in and around it (and just by the ways that black holes function). The person in question with GC contacts gets to “choose” how they use this amplification and this warping in their own lives, just as they do with the rest of the chart. I just think this is probably pretty strong in the people who have GC contacts.

    The chart above belongs to the piece of shit, Keith Raniere, who started the NXIVM cult. There is no time of birth for him on file, but that’s okay for the purposes of this exercise. Here we have Jupiter conjunct the GC, and Mars is CLOSE to the window for conjunctions that’s being looked at for the Anti-Center (but honestly, it’s a little too wide here for me to really focus on it). Uranus, Mercury, the Sun & Pluto are all trine the GC & sexile the GaC (which actually makes me think this fucker had several ways that he could’ve brought the GC truth and belief “Down to Earth” (but, obviously, probably went with one of the more fucked up possibilities of the bunch)). He doesn’t have any OOB planets, though Jupiter is the closest to being OOB (which is interesting since Jupiter goes OOB the least of all the planet). Notice though, he doesn’t have Jupiter Retrograde. And he is now in prison (which is obviously a good thing) – for 120 years lolololololol. I’ve mentioned before that I think Jupiter Rx and a conjunction to the GC can function as protective forces for the person doing their GC shit (whether that GC shit is used for the “good” or the “bad”). So I think it’s interesting that he probably won’t ever be a free man ever again.
    -While there may not have been 1000 members of the NXVIM cult, they did infiltrate other areas facets of life with their sex trafficking and other horrible bullshit.

    LOL so this chart belong to L. Ron Hubbard, or aka: the dork who started the Church of Scientology. We have a good time of birth on file for him, so this chart is “correct” (the whole chart can be taken into account). He actually did a bunch of other shit (definitely check out his wiki which is linked to his name) – there’s too much shit there to go into in this blog post, lol, but check it out if you’re unfamiliar with him. Hubbard had his rising conjunct the GC, and the Pluto Polarity Point (that feels like it would be…..really weird…..and that seems to ring true in his case). He had natal Pluto conjunct the GaC, with his Moon in Virgo, Venus in Aries, and Saturn in Taurus trine the GC/Sextile the GaC. And what do you know? He has Jupiter Rx. This fucker was a part of several controversies (even one called the “Snow White Program” which dealt with the church trying to purge the US government’s files from any unflattering documents and records it had about the Church of Scientology….🤣🤣). He was also tried in absentia in France for fraud stemming from the church (he received a fine and 4 years imprisonment, but never did his time). Somehow this fucker got away with not ever having to really “pay” for anything that he did, and I do think him having Jupiter Rx probably plays into this (he was “protected” – as annoying as that might be to say or think).

    This chart belongs to the founder of the Mormon Church, Joseph Smith. There is a time of birth on file for him (it’s rated C, but it’s there so we’re going with it). You know, as weird as this sounds, I’m actually inclined to believe this fucker when he said that he was given visions and told to translate/write the Book of Mormon. That doesn’t mean that I agree with the Fundamentalist Mormon thing, but I am inclined to believe that Smith DID have SOME kind of contact with SOMETHING. Not only because of his chart and having Jupiter and the Sun conjunct the GC, but because WHEN he was supposedly told to translate the visions he was given into the book of Mormon, the date was September 22, 1827. On that day, the transit Sun would’ve been conjunct the Super Galactic Center (I will get a little more into the Super GC another time, but I do think the date is important here…and the fact that this fucking date is REMEMBERED from so many years ago also strikes me as interesting). Mars in his chart was OOB. However, I do think the angel could’ve picked a better “translator” – Smith has no trines to the GC/sextiles to the GaC meaning I think something could’ve gotten lost in translation as he was transcribing what the angel (or whatever the fuck it was) was telling/showing him. Another thing this could show an issue with is the reception of what he was set to translate – perhaps he didn’t bring it “Down to Earth” “correctly” (there were plenty of people who took issues with his beliefs). He also doesn’t have Jupiter Retrograde, so he was lacking one of the protective elements I’ve mentioned before. He and his brother were shot to death when a pissed off group of people got a hold of them in Illinois.

    This chart belongs to the dickhead, Warren Jeffs, who was the leader of the FLDS church (I couldn’t mention Joseph Smith and then NOT talk about this asshole). Actually, I think Jeff’s creep ass is STILL the president of the FLDS church (even though he’s currently incarcerated). There is no good time of birth on file for him, but again, that’s okay for these purposes (we just won’t be counting the major angles or the houses). He has Venus and the North Node within the window that I’m looking for conjunctions to the GC, which puts the South Node conjunct the GaC. Both Pluto and Jupiter trine the GC/sextile the GaC, giving him a couple of different avenues to bring his beliefs down to Earth (and honestly, both feel kinda fucked here). Venus is OOB in his chart (this one clearly went OOB in a gross fucking way). Oh, and look! He doesn’t have Jupiter Rx….which seems important since he didn’t get away with his bullshit and is currently serving life in prison plus 20 years.

    This is the chart for Kim II-Sung, the “Eternal Leader” of North Korea (running the country from 1948 to his death in 1988). He really could go on the list of politicians with GC connections that I want to do here pretty soon, but I put him on THIS list because of his philosophy/ideology of Juche (and this dictating much of how he ran North Korea). He has Jupiter Retrograde conjunct the GC (since the GC was at 25-degrees Sag when he was born, I would consider a 15-degree Jupiter as being conjunct). Pluto and Mars are conjunct the GaC, which also puts the Pluto Polarity Point (not pictured but directly opposite Pluto) right on the GC. His North Node, Sun, and Mercury Rx are trine the GC. His Mars is OOB. He does appear to have been protected via Jupiter Rx and the conjunctions to the GC because he died of a run of the mill heart attack when he was 82 (no weird circumstances surrounding his death, not assassinated, etc.).

    This chart is a little different since it’s not for a specific person, but for the “start” of organization – the KKK. Since it was started by 6 different dick suckers, I decided to pull the chart for when the organization was created, which was on December 24, 1865 in Pulaski, TN. There is no time for this chart but that will be okay for this purpose (I just set the time to 12 pm). In this chart Venus, Mars, Mercury Rx, and the Sun are ALL conjunct the GC, with Uranus conjunct the GaC. Jupiter is not Rx in this chart and the klan, on the whole, has had many problems with the law throughout it’s history (rightfully so – they’re a bunch of assholes). The South Node is trine the GC (which is kind of weird, but with Mars, the planetary ruler of this South Node, conjunct the GC, I’m counting it). Mars and Uranus are OOB in this chart (both of which make contacts to the GC and GaC).

  • Galactic Center Thoughts XI or: Close Encounters of the Galactic Center Kind?

    Here is the video that goes along with this blog post for anyone who would rather watch than read.

    I mentioned recently in a video that I wanted to start talking about some weird shit, and lol, I meant it. This won’t be the bulk of where the Galactic Center research will veer, but damnit, if I have an opportunity to talk about aliens or other weird phenomena, you better damn well believe I’m going to do it (I just can’t help myself). I also wanna mention that this is LITERALLY just FUCKING with astrology – in no way am I claiming that any of this is truth or even correct – this is just some shit I noticed that I think is interesting.

    There is an idea that the GC is like a linkage between our realm/dimension and other dimensions, and when I see stuff like that my mind automatically veers to aliens and “making contact” (among a whole bunch of other shit). Not necessarily “Little Green Men” or “The Greys” type of aliens, but just “beings” that aren’t part of our dimension/realm. Who knows – there could be “beings” that ARE terrestrial to Earth, but they are in another dimension so we can’t see them (that part is a whole other conversation for another time – I’ll probably get into this later anyway lol). There is also the idea that the GC could be like a portal to the “other side” (or other realms) and this is an interesting theory to toy around with. IF this were to be the case, I don’t think E.T.’s would be “flying” through the GC (I guess that’s possible…only because I’m not one to really rule ANYTHING OUT when it comes to this stuff), but I think if anything were to come “through” the GC, it would be coming from some other realm/dimension and probably “invisible” to us while coming through it (and would probably keep this “invisibility” until the being (or beings) were ready to been seen). It is also possible that the GC could open portals for the beings that I mentioned before that might be “Earthside” but in another dimension to be able to be “seen.” I also think that this might not be possible just any time – there probably needs to be a specific set of conditions that have to be met before this GC portal is “open” for interdimensional travel to happen. Really though, I think if “portals” in general are a real thing this is probably the case for ANY kind of portal – certain conditions have to be met first before the portal opens.

    This got me thinking about Alien Encounters and UFO sightings, and the possibility that some of these sightings might have occurred due to the “portal” in or from the GC opening and allowing “contact.” There are a ton of UFO sightings on record, along with a bunch of Alien Encounters/Abductions. I started thinking about these in my mind – the ones that really stand out to me as being legitimate versus the ones that don’t feel legit to me. For instance, The Phoenix Lights has never seemed like legit UFO activity to me. I’m not questioning the legitimacy of the people who saw these UFO’s in the sky (obviously I believe them – duh), but I don’t think this was real UFO activity. Why does this one not feel legit to me? Honestly, I’m not sure – this is pure intuition, I guess (you may not agree with me and that’s okay ^_^). I will say this – intuitively, this one always seemed more like a psy-op or some other bullshit that occurred to “distract” the population (and well ALL know that “distractions” happen all the time – we have to decipher the “distractions” from “reality”). So then I started pulling charts for the UFO sightings and Alien Encounter/Abduction stories that always did seem more legitimate to me.

    Chart 1: Lubbock Lights – August 25th, 1951
    Chart 3- Travis Walton Abduction – November 5, 1975
    Chart 2: Roswell Incident – July 6, 1947
    Chart 4: Hill Encounter – September 19, 1961

    The first chart is for the Lubbock Lights (this actually took place over a couple of weeks, but the chart I pulled here was for the first time these weird lights in the sky were spotted by 3 Texas Tech professors). The date used was August 25, 1951 at 9 pm in Lubbock, Texas. These sightings were investigated as part of Project Blue Book by the USAF. For some fucking reason, USAF claimed that they found the reason for the Lubbock Lights, but couldn’t disclose WHAT they were or WHY they existed. Yeah, lol, okay….that sounds like bullshit to me.
    -In this chart, Chiron is conjunct the GC (I have mentioned before that I think Chiron might have ties to the GC in some way, so it’s interesting to see this conjunction during an event like this). The Moon is opposite the GC/conjunct the GaC. Pluto and the Sun are trine the GC (a way to bring shit “down to Earth,” perhaps?). Jupiter is also retrograde in Aries in this chart, conjunct the rising. Mercury is also Retrograde in Virgo. Moon was OOB at a declination of 28 degrees 17 minutes N (that’s way the fuck OOB).

    The second chart is for the Roswell incident. This actually took place over several weeks, from June 1947 through early July 1947. The chart that I ended up pulling came for the date and time that a team was assembled to inspect the debris from the crash (July 6, 1947 at 4 pm in Roswell, NM). I know this was tried to be explained away as a weather balloon or some shit, but I’ve never really bought it.
    -In this chart, there are no GC conjunctions, but Venus and Uranus are both conjunct the GaC. There are no trines to the GC, which makes me kind of think that if this was all legitimate it actually wasn’t “supposed to happen” (lacking the “grounding” from a trine to bring this down to “Earth”). I mean, lol, something hit Earth, but I don’t think it was “supposed” to happen. Jupiter is Retrograde in Scorpio, and Mercury is also retrograde in Cancer. Pluto was OOB at 23-degrees 40 minutes N.
    ***Since I am not actually sure WHEN the shit in Roswell actually started, there could be a trine to something in the chart for when the UFO activity first began.
    ***Everything that happens is probably “supposed” to happen, really – but I get the feeling that if this was a legitimate crash, the operators (or whatever) of the UFO weren’t aware that this was going to happen (that’s what I mean by “it wasn’t supposed to happen”).
    ***There is also another thought I had (and I don’t know WHAT the fuck this veers into, lol, so bear with me), but perhaps this was an actual UFO encounter, but the ET’s involved were in some way….more terrestrial. That sounds weird as shit, and really, I’m not even sure exactly HOW I mean this, but WHAT IF there were actually aliens or other beings that were in some way more “terrestrial” in nature? I guess my mind goes to the notion of other dimensions here on Earth, and there being entities that are living ON Earth, but they aren’t in our dimension so we can’t usually “see” them (with this idea, I could be sitting next to an entity as I’m sitting here typing this post out, but can’t see or feel them – shit lol one could be fucking sitting on my lap and I wouldn’t know). Perhaps the trine doesn’t exist here because nothing really needed to be brought down to Earth – they were already here all along. All that was necessary was an “activation” of the GC to open us up to seeing them.

    The third chart is for the abduction of Travis Walton who went missing for 5 days while he was at work. There wasn’t an actual time for when he went missing (I just knew this happened at night), so I pulled the chart for November 5, 1975 in Snowflake, AZ at 8 pm (his abduction story is the basis for the book The Walton Experience and the movie Fire in the Sky). He passed several polygraph tests after the incident happened (and failed one, like, 30+ years later). The co-workers of his who were there and saw the UFO were also polygraphed (all of them passed except for one, and the one who didn’t pass came back with results that were inconclusive).
    -In this chart, you have the Moon conjunct the GC (it’s wide, but it’s there within the window of orb that is being looked at). At 8 pm, the Descendant is conjunct the GC within about a degree (but we won’t necessarily count this since I’m not sure what time this occurred – 8 pm was just a guess). Mars is for sure conjunct the GaC/opposite the GC, and if the 8 pm time happened to be correct, the Descendant would also be conjunct the GaC. Chiron Retrograde and Jupiter Retrograde are trine the GC in Aries. Mars is OOB at 24-degrees 22 minutes N.

    The fourth chart is for the Barney and Betty Hill encounter and this occurred on September 19, 1961 around 10:30 while they were driving in rural New Hampshire (their encounter story is the basis for the book The Interrupted Journey). This story would be a lot to get into here, lol, but I encourage you to at least check out the wiki on this encounter cause it really is interesting (and there seemed to be lots of “after-effects” from this encounter for both Barney and Betty).
    -Since we have a good time for this chart, we can count the Descendant as being conjunct the GC, which puts the Ascendant conjunct the GaC. The IC, Venus, Uranus and the North Node are trine the GC. Jupiter happens to be Retrograde in this chart in Capricorn. There were no OOB planets during this event.

    I think it’s really interesting that Jupiter happens to be Retrograde in all of these charts. What if, and this might sound kind of “out there,” but what if Jupiter being Retrograde in the sky is one of the “conditions” that is necessary for the GC “portal” to be able to “open” – to be able to make contact with E.T.’s or for them to be able to make contact with us? Regardless of if they are coming a galaxy far, far away or from another dimension more “terrestrial” in nature?
    **I realize that there will be charts for UFO activity and encounters/abductions that DON’T have Jupiter Rx – there are so many of them that statistically there would have to be. There could be other “portals” that open for other encounters to occur (they might not ALL be tied to the GC….this is also possible). I wouldn’t rule anything out here.

    What alien encounters/abductions and/or UFO sightings feel the most legitimate to you all?

  • Galactic Center Thoughts Part III (or some shit)

    The Galactic Center ^^^^^ FUCKING MAGNIFICENT
    (photo credit – NASA)

    I have talked about a WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT stuff regarding the Galactic Center recently on the YouTube channel for Lets Fuck with Astrology – the joint business venture between myself and the other creator of the Star Cards, Natalie (who is probably one the people who has been the dearest to me in my whole life), but the Galactic Center has captivated me for much longer than it might seem that it has. It’s the “mystery” about it that really gets me – and there is something REALLY mysterious about it (probably the fact that we aren’t really sure what is ON the other side of the GC). The GC is said to be a lifeline to other dimensions, a place to contact the other side, and as the Mayan’s liked to call it, “the source of all creation,” among a whole bunch of other shit. It is also thought of as a place where divine inspiration comes from and that the GC can feed one information like “downloads.” And yes, there are definitely some alien theories thrown into all of this (those are a lot of fun, but I think the alien thing is fun to think about, anyway). There is also the idea that it functions like a (hidden) luminary since the Sun actually orbits the GC (the GC is actually one of the reasons our galaxy functions the way that it does). Astrologers like Philip Sedgwick and Paul O. Hewitt have done a lot of work on the GC (more than it seems anyone else really has), but even after reading what work of theirs I can get my hands on, I am left with even more questions than answers. I don’t say this to impugn their work – it’s fantastic! I just think it’s the nature OF the Galactic Center, to beg more questions than it answers.

    While I think anyone can access the GC (the GC is in EVERYONE’S chart – right now it’s at 27-degrees 3 minutes Sagittarius), I do think it’s probably BEST accessed by people who have planets conjunct the GC (or a major asteroid or something like that). When a planet is conjunct the GC, it seems like that planet might have the propensity to be given information FROM the GC (for that planet to get information “downloaded” to it) that then needs to be translated/transmuted into a language that we can understand here on Earth (in my last blog post I made mention on how it might be possible to bring the stuff from the GC down to Earth). Even as the planet is being changed, charged, and transformed by the conjunction with the GC, it does seem like divine insight, inspiration, and “downloads” could (and DO) come from the conjunction. I also think this same information can be accessed by people with the oppositions, but I do think the oppositions to the GC are harder for the person to see and feel. This has to do with the area of the sky that the Galactic Anti-Center is in – this is a much calmer part of the sky covered by a bunch of fucking space dust and what seems to be blinded by a very bright star. Applying this science to the idea behind the GaC and the GC, I do feel like the oppositions also get the downloads, but perhaps don’t know what the hell these downloads are (due to the covering and the brightness). I do think these planets get the feelings of these downloads, though (or that’s kind of where my mind is right now). Though I do wonder, if the person has a planet in opposition to the GC (conjunct the GaC), without having a planet conjunct the GC ….. I do think the translation isn’t as clear. Exactly HOW that manifests? Not totally sure about that yet. I do think the opposition will try to make logical and rational sense of what information it is given (the GaC is in Gemini), but the ideas that comes through from the GC aren’t always rational or logical (oftentimes I think they probably aren’t). It seems like just having a planet opposite the GC would cause one to get the information STUCK – so while they receive these “downloads” it feels like they could get, well, stuck or frustrated.
    **Unless, perhaps, if a person with only planets opposite the GC/conjunct the GaC have Mercury Rx in their natal chart, and they are actually functioning from the retrograde motion of Mercury (not trying to operate from the direct motion). THIS would probably change things.

    This brings me to the next thought about the GC and it’s seeming correlation with retrograde planets. Let me break this one down for you:
    -I have mentioned this before in the videos and in writing that the GC feels VERY Uranian (I know I’m not alone in feeling this – there have been other people who have echoed the same sentiment in writing). It’s the electric feeling charge of the GC, the weirdness, and the inevitable change that the GC seems to cause (anything that gets “sucked” into in space WILL be changed). There is also something very Plutonian about the GC too – the transformation element.
    -Retrograde planets have a correlation with Uranian energy since ALL retrograde planets POINT towards Uranus/Uranian energy (some of them also point to other planets, too, but there is a pointing towards Uranus with all of them). The reason for this is the “difference” in the way that retrograde planets need to function (and “different” is obviously Uranus territory). I also feel like retrograde planets point towards Pluto, too. So, in that case, retrograde planets point towards two planets that kind of embody the energy of the GC.
    -Retrograde planetary motion will turn things inward (making them very personal) while direct motion turns things outwards. So, for instance, Mars retrograde will turn it’s drive inward and will only feel called to take action on things that serve the soul purpose of the person with Mars Rx. Mars direct turns drive and other Martian expressions outward (the things that Mars direct feels driven to do don’t necessarily have to serve the soul purpose).
    -It does feel like people who have planets conjunct or opposite the GC, and also have planets retrograde in their chart (regardless of if these planets are conjunct or opposite the GC, or just somewhere in their chart) have better access to the GC energy. People who just have planets conjunct or opposite the GC with little to no retrograde planets in their chart ALSO have easy access to the GC – but I do think Rx planetary motion in the chart somewhere amplifies/electrifies this access. Retrograde planets conjunct or opposite the GC, or with retrograde planets , seem like any combination of the above would cause the person to be on fire with GC energy and be able to actually do something WITH the GC energy.
    -Even people who don’t have anything conjunct or opposite the GC, but say, have 3 or more planets retrograde in their chart, probably are more aligned with the energy of the GC. Though without the conjunctions or oppositions to the GC, they may not really know what to do about this alignment with the GC (or even be aware of how much it exists in the first place).

    All of this talk about Retrogrades brings me to what I think is probably the most important Rx planet of the bunch to have in the chart to access the GC energy – and that’s Jupiter Rx. Why might this be (or where does this train of thought come from)? Lets talk a little bit about the nature of Jupiter Rx generally in the natal chart:
    -Jupiter Rx UNDERSTANDS things in a big picture way, in an intuitive way, before it logically and rationally understands WHY it understands what it understands, why it knows what it knows. THIS sounds incredibly GC to me as is it – understanding things (anything) from an intuitive place first, kind of along the same lines of the GC giving someone an “information download” and then the person needs to “translate” or “transmute” this information in a way that actually makes sense in real life.
    -Jupiter Rx needs to work from backwards motion to figure out why it knows what it knows to be true. This means when someone has Jupiter Rx in their natal chart, they already have a good handle on the big picture from an intuitive place – they already “know things”. What they HAVE to do is break that shit down backwards, piece by piece, to make logical and rational sense of what it is they already know.
    -Jupiter Rx is the only planet that points towards an inner planet – it points towards Mercury (while also pointing towards Uranus and even Pluto). I didn’t really know a better way to word this, lol, but most of the other planets point towards just Uranus or Pluto. The only exception here is Mercury Rx, which points towards Jupiter (along with Uranus and Pluto). Either way, Jupiter Rx is the ONLY planet that points to one of the most inner planets in our solar system.
    -Quite literally, Jupiter Rx needs to bring what it already knows and intuits “down to Earth,” down to a logical and rational place, to make sense of it. This is very much HOW the GC itself seems to function.

    There does seem to be correlations between having Jupiter Rx in the natal chart and being able to access the GC (even if Jupiter doesn’t make an aspect/contact with the GC). I also think Jupiter Rx people, even if they don’t have a conjunction or opposition with the GC, have an amplified affinity to the GC and it’s energy. I do think that if the Jupiter Rx person HAS a planetary conjunction or opposition to the GC (Jupiter Rx or another planet/other planets), this AMPLIFIES the affinity for the GC even further. Still though, the nature of both the GC and Jupiter Rx is to translate things down to planet Earth, so I think all of this is done in a much more fluid way (fluid doesn’t mean easy in this case, lol) when the person ALSO has a trine to the GC….the trine allowing the translation of information to make sense on planet Earth (the trine aspect is kind of where my mind is in how to bring this down to Earth….or one of the ways).
    -As is the nature with Rx planets in the natal chart, if the person with Jupiter Rx is trying to function from the direct motion of Jupiter, the translation of stuff from the GC seems like it would be exponentially harder. When one has Jupiter Rx in the natal chart, but tries to function from direct motion, this tends to manifest as someone who just knows what they know, who understands what they understand, but they never try to make any damn sense of this in the real world. This can cause the person to not feel as intelligent as other people or like they don’t have as much to contribute to conversations with other people (because they don’t try to make sense of what they do know so they feel like they don’t make as much sense to other people). It can also manifest as someone who is so scattered with what their ideas of personal truth are (taking in too much from other people in this way) – and getting their own beliefs and truth fucked up & confused with that of other people.

    Even though I do feel that Jupiter Rx is the most important planet to have retrograde in the chart to access the GC energy, all of the retrograde planets seem important in their own way. One planet that also feels really important, though also feels like it could be incredibly difficult to have Rx in the chart if the person was trying to work from the direct motion of the planet in regards to the GC, is Mercury Rx. Mercury Rx is the only other planet that points towards a planet that isn’t a transpersonal planet since it also points to Jupiter. Mercury takes in information and Jupiter assimilates and understands that information. When Mercury is Rx, the person takes in a bunch of information (much of which functions like noise), and the person needs to be taking each piece of information piece by piece in order to see the big picture (Jupiter). As they take the information they are taking in step by step, piece by piece, they are able to better tune out all the “noise” so that they can see that big picture. These people also need to be trusting their intuition about what information actually matters to them (and their soul purpose) in the first place. When Mercury Rx people are functioning FROM the retrograde motion, they can be very in-tune with the GC energy. When they aren’t functioning from the retrograde motion, and trying to function from direct motion, it seems that they would be too scattered (and in too much of a state of information overload) that being able to see the big picture and trust their intuition would be incredibly difficult. Intuition and the Big Picture are Galactic Center notions (among other things).
    **Just as I think when Mercury Rx people are functioning from the Rx planetary motion they can be very in-line with the GC, I think Jupiter Rx people, when functioning from the Rx motion of Jupiter, are able to also be very in-tune with the Galactic Anti-Center. Mercury Rx people, on the other hand, might be more aligned with the GaC naturally, while Jupiter Rx people feel more aligned with the GC.

    All of these ideas have come from the research that has been conducted thus far on the subreddit letsfuckwithastrology through the GC questionnaire (and if you wanna be a part of the research reach out and let me know – I’ll email you the survey!). These ideas have also come from looking at the charts of well known “whistleblowers” or truth-tellers – and there does seem to be an undeniable affinity with the GC and people that are known for truth telling and whistleblowing. I will go over this in the next article more (the connection with whistleblowers and the GC). While the GC definitely seems to deal with getting information “downloads,” with divine inspiration and insight, and probably functions as some kind of telephone line to the source of all creation, it also deals quite a bit with searching for truth and needing to make that truth known. Probably KNOWING what the truth is about different situations, but having to translate this truth into a way that’s understandable here on Earth. Sagittarius is the truth seeker, and since this is where the GC falls, it does make sense. A “weird” relationship with the truth seems just as possible – perhaps you might also find people that have a compulsive need to tell the truth (even when they don’t want to), people that have a strange way of defining what truth is (and what truth needs to be told), and even people who already know WHAT the truth is about any given situation but would rather keep their head in the sand and not be able to translate it. Any of those also seem possible, too. I’m still playing with ideas, lol. It would also depend heavily WHAT the chart looks like as to how the GC might function in an individuals chart.

    ***Another kind of planetary energy that also feels like it could be very in-tune with the GC are the Out of Bounds (OOB) planets. I have an article here about what OOB planets are and how they function (and how to find out if you have any in your chart). Out of Bounds planets, since their orbit is no longer under the domain of the Sun, ALSO feel rather Uranian in nature (and as I mentioned earlier, the GC is very Uranian, too). More research will need to be done in this particular area to see how much this actually fits.

  • Retrograde Planets in a Natal Chart (and what they might mean)

    Retrograde Planets in a Natal Chart (and what they might mean)

    I’m baaaaack! And talking about a topic within astrology that I love….which is retrograde planets.

    Hahahaha, honestly I have been so busy these past (about) 4 months that I just haven’t had a spare moment to actually add to my astrological ramblings. And I’m truly SO eternally grateful for this, for the people that have hired me to do readings for them and kept me so busy. Practicing astrology (and being able to ACTUALLY practice astrology for clients) is one of the great loves of my life. So, to everyone that has hired me to do work for them, thank you so very much 🙂

    Over the past few months I have had several clients with a shitload of retrograde planets in their natal charts. Not only that though, but I have also seen an influx of questions on the different forums that I frequently creep on/answer questions on about what it means to have whatever planet in retrograde (and we could be talking about any planet here, except for the Sun and Moon, which never go retrograde). I tend to look at retrograde planets through more of the soul’s journey kind of lens, meaning I believe they tend to be things that our soul wanted to learn about and understand in a myriad of different ways throughout our different incarnations on Planet Earth/this 3D dimension. Thinking about it from this point of view helps to put it all into perspective for me. For some reason, the soul really wanted to understand something about its mind (Mercury), its drive (Mars), etc. while incarnating on Earth in a more personally “focused” way when a planet is retrograde. There is also more introspection given to the energy that these planets express naturally, and the energy is “introverted” instead of the more “extroverted” sort of expression of energy that is more prevalent with direct planetary motion. The whole purpose of these retrograde planets is to understand them at their core essence and what they mean to the person that has them (regardless if this planetary expression makes sense to anyone else). Because society at large is so focused on keeping up with “The Jones’s” and living and operating like the status quo would have you live and operate, this can make retrograde planets a particular challenge. The more planets that a person has retrograde in their chart, the more the person might feel an internal calling to break away from the status quo regarding things the retrograde planet wants to express. For instance, a person with Venus retrograde might feel their values are very different than that of the status quo (and this could be a challenging thing for then to feel comfortable expressing). Something that should also be paid attention to is your chart ruler; should you have a retrograde chart ruler, well, this kind of gives the person (and their chart) a “retrograde-y” flavor. When the chart ruler is a planet in retrograde motion, you tend to find someone who is very introspective (regardless of the planet involved), though how exactly this introspection is actually expressed inwardly and understood by the sense of self will depend on the planet and sign that we’re talking about, and the house that the chart ruler falls in. Here is an example of such for your viewing pleasure (hahaha) and understanding:

    **As far as the following ideas go, you would need to take the whole chart into account to know exactly how any retrograde planet (or planetary body) actually plays out in your life. For the sake of understanding, the house the retrograde planet falls in will show the areas of life involved, the sign of the retrograde planet will show how the energy is expressed, and the aspects fill in the rest of the story.**

    Mercury Retrograde: When Mercury falls retrograde in the natal chart there is a need for the soul to learn what is actually important for it to take in as far as learning and communication goes. The soul is probably coming from lifetimes where it took in too much information that just wasn’t necessary for it to take in. Personally, I think of the sort of soul who knows a whole lot of “extraneous” information that may help other people (or would help them in some sort of game show/trivia situation), but doesn’t end up actually serving them in the long run. In this lifetime, the soul wanted to tune out all this extra noise as far as what it takes in through communication and different modalities of basic learning. This can cause these people some difficulties with both in this lifetime. Since they are geared towards only taking in what is necessary for their soul to evolve (and for this information to serve a personal purpose), any sort of communication or learning that doesn’t serve this need for soul growth may not seem to “stick” in the same way that it does for people with Mercury direct. This can prove incredibly difficult in our society which (overall) has a tendency to believe that people should learn and communicate a certain sort of way, and this certain sort of way isn’t usually the way these people operate. The Mercury Retrograde person can really shine when they are able to understand and personalize anything they are taking in.

    Venus Retrograde: Venus in Retrograde is an interesting one. Since the retrograde motion turns the energy inward (or introverts it), and Venus deals not only with the concept of love but also about what one values (among other things), it is very important above all else that the Venus retrograde person is able to really love and value themselves. Venus naturally rules over BOTH Taurus and Libra, but in the case of the retrograde motion, it tends to exemplify Taurus more so than Libra. Libra energy is naturally more “social” which doesn’t quite fit the introverted quality of the retrograde motion (but Taurus energy certainly does, especially with its needing to find security and stability through self-worth and self-love). The more that the Venus Retrograde person is able to relate to other people from their own personal values and concepts of love, the more they will find what they need from other people (and not just trying to relate to people from the other person’s views, values, and concepts of love).

    Mars Retrograde: Mars in Retrograde has a soul purpose to only be driven to go after things in this incarnation that actually serve their soul in the long run. Depending on the chart of the person, this could create someone who seems to have a lack of drive (which isn’t true), or someone who is incredibly driven and on at all times (though the appearance of such would probably end up being more evident to the person in question due to the introverted way of the retrograde motion – other people might not SEE this as easily). This person will need to understand what actions that they need to take and WHY they need to take them (rather than the quick acting and/or reacting that Mars direct is so familiar with). The important thing here is that the Mars Retrograde person actually figures out what exactly does drive them and channel their energy into this. The lack of proper channeling of such energy can cause the person to turn all of this energy on themselves (which can cause all kinds of health ailments, sexual issues, and other sorts of things that aren’t pleasant).

    Jupiter Retrograde: Jupiter in Retrograde in a natal chart shows a need for the soul to create their own beliefs and personal truths for themselves, regardless of what this looks like to other people. These people are probably coming from previous incarnations where they weren’t able to create these beliefs and personal truths for themselves (or completely of themselves), and are needing to shed all the old skin of beliefs that just don’t serve them any damn good. Because the assimilation of information is more personalized here (and again, very focused on beliefs-maybe beliefs that are very different than that of the mainstream), this can cause these people to feel that they aren’t as intelligent as the rest of the population (which isn’t true), which can cause them to be a little quieter (or cause them to not really speak up and out at all). They may feel that by staying quiet and going along with everyone else they will be able to be (or at least appear) more “normal” than they actually are. By operating in this manner, though, they probably aren’t living their own personal truth, which is of premium importance to these souls this time around.

    Saturn Retrograde: When Saturn is found retrograde in the natal chart, there is a need for the soul to create its own reality in this incarnation, to go and do things their own way regardless of what is considered “normal” or “acceptable” in the society that they live. This is usually made easier or more difficult depending on the way that they were raised and the sort of person that did the “raising” (and oftentimes it seems there is a past life/karmic linkage to one’s parents here). Having had a parent or parents that were more accepting and allowed them to be different and create their own reality for themselves will make everything so much easier for these people in the long run. However, as seems to often be the case, if a parent/the parents are more authoritative and less accepting of personal differences in general this can cause difficulties with the Saturn retrograde person’s view of authority (how they handle their own personal authority and that of other people). Regardless of the sort of parents they had and the family they come from, these people need time to go inward within themselves, to retreat, and to make sense of things in life that actually fit their own notion of reality (and they need to be given the time and freedom to do so).

    Uranus Retrograde: Uranus found retrograde in the natal chart shows a soul that needs to learn to see things from a birds eye/omniscient point of view (to detach from not only emotions from a certain degree, but also to detach from the self somewhat). This need is usually due to some kind of trauma that the Uranus Retrograde person has carried with them from a previous incarnation that needs to be worked through, and can only probably be worked through by being able to see outside of themselves and beyond the scope of the person they are in this lifetime (along with the person that they have been in a previous incarnation). There is a sense of feeling different as well that is carried over from another life, and this can make one more likely to make friends with different people and groups that are strictly just like them (and this is usually done from the soul level as a way to not feel as “different”). This is why learning to see things from a birds eye point of view is so important, as is embracing these inherent differences that actually makes them the individuals that they are. Uranus in general (in any planetary motion) tends to be where our soul memories are stored. However, with Uranus in Retrograde (and the retrograde motion turning the energy more inward), these people have a unique ability to actually be able to access these soul memories in this lifetime, to heal any trauma from previous lives, and really grow.

    Neptune Retrograde: With Neptune Retrograde in the natal chart, there is an innate understanding that all people are connected to one another and that we are all connected to The Creator (there is actually no division here). Though this understanding is probably more felt from the collective unconscious place that Neptune dwells, and such has a great impact on the psychology of the person in question. They are able to pick up on things, feelings and vibes from other people without meaning to (and maybe even without wanting to). This ultra-sensitivity is better understood and handled psychologically when the understanding that we are all linked and no one is really separate from one another is more consciously understood. Another way that this is all understood is through the dreams that the Neptune Retrograde person has (and these people can have some very crazy dreams). This can be a way for them to internally process everything that they feel in this lifetime and to help them make sense of such.

    Pluto Retrograde: When Pluto is found Retrograde in the chart, there is a strong drive to both reunite with The Creator that is inside of all of us, but also just a strong drive to evolve in general (and for the soul’s evolution to happen at a more rapid pace). Until the person with Pluto Retrograde goes towards this need to reunite with The Creator (and goes more into the spiritual realms), there can be a sense of unhappiness or that they aren’t doing what it is that they should be doing to make themselves feel happy and whole. Mind you, this spirituality that I’m talking about doesn’t strictly adhere to any sort of dogma or religious belief (I certainly don’t mean it that way). It’s more about what resonates with the person and their soul. There will be much energy directed in an inward fashion towards the soul’s evolution and in figuring out how to do so, and the unhappiness mentioned above should be used as a catalyst for such.

    Chiron Retrograde: When Chiron is found Retrograde in the natal chart, I tend to see this as the person’s “core wounding” being something that initially stems from a previous incarnation. Oftentimes when I see this come up retrograde in a chart, there are aspects made to the person’s Chiron that tie in with their previous life story in some way (which is where this theory comes from). That doesn’t mean that the wounding ONLY comes from a previous lifetime, but that this core wounding is carried out in this lifetime from a previous lifetime just begging to be worked through. There is also an internalization and introversion of this wounding that speaks here to this; this core wounding from a previous life that is sort of played out again (though in maybe a different way) and is taken incredibly personally (probably from being intimately familiar with this wounding from another lifetime), from having lived through something like this before. It is also a wounding that, due to the inward nature of retrograde motion, might not be visible to anyone outside of the native.
