@stargazer I've ben in love with the ancient archetypes that underlie astrology so this is fascinating and fun. Thank you.
Me too Jeanne ?
I especially relate to our spiritual personal Archetypes, and true to diving deep into the mines of the Eighth house treasure trove of our soul secrets, came up with mine ... "Diana the Huntress" (wired to the Moon) lols.
I see yours as being "Athena", the Goddess of Wisdom ... what think you of this?
The Greeks were definitely on to something ... love Dane Rudhyar too ....
I love Artemis too. Goddess of the woodlands, of childbirth, who fed civilizations, the huntress who ran with the deer and would not be subjugated to any man.
but Athena is also very fine. I love them all! Mercury/Hermes also.
They elevate us.
Hello Community - I'm a first time poster and not sure I'm doing it right, but here's my question:
Hello Community - I'm a first time poster and not sure I'm doing it right, but here's my question:
Is it possible that the chaotic energy going on in our government can create a ripple effect outward? Or is there something going on astronomically right now causing such chaos.For example: Today, I found out 1) a dear friend in Germany suddenly died, not sure when or how (could be complications of a stroke he had in July), 2) My brother just had a 5th surgery to try and find the cause of bleeding from his original hemorrhoid surgery, and 3) my sister in law, whose husband just died from a long illness on Nov 21 now has COVID (even though her and her children were tested prior to his death so that they all could be together for his passing. She has asthma and is a nurse so she is doing all the right things and under medical care.) This is a trifecta in one day. Things like this don't usually happen this close together much less all in one day. Am I over- reacting due to the stress of it all? My "spidey" senses tell me that the energy right now is way off kilter. Could it be that so many souls are leaving this earth and the dark energy in the government is bleeding out to everyone else? Maybe there is an astronomical happening. We are coming upon the winter solstice and Dec 14 (when the Electoral College meets). What gives here?
I do feel that what the Dark Party (GOP) is doing now in America is having a huge effect on the American collective and anyone in other countries, especially our allies, who is concerned about it. We are the longest lived democracy and at this very moment, the GOP is in the midst of a coup. I don't know if your three events are related, though. Throughout my life I've seen people suddenly experience multiple losses in a matter of months, after nothing had happened for years. You are a sample of one, in a world of billions of people. But for sure, the World Collective is roiling, thanks to Covid and the Republican Party.
The Geminid meteor shower peaks tonight (Dec 13) and tomorrow night (Dec 14) and is best seen about 2 AM. The meteors will appear to emanate from the constellation Gemini (hence the name!).
Can anyone tell us what this could signify in astrological terms?
Hi, welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear that your loved ones are suffering, and that you are suffering too. You're not over-reacting, in my opinion, at all. There is so much going on in the sky, on the earth, in government, with struggling humanity...it all interacts together.
We still have choices, in staying calm, taking care of our own needs, helping when we can, and adding our energy to the positive side of the balance sheet. Could it be that we are being called to reimagine a better world starting with our own reactions at home and with our neighbors? I'm glad you joined us. Take care ❤️

Wow, I have just seen this. I didn't realise that trump's presidency will end on the day of a comet, a meteor shower, and a total eclipse!
More about it here too:
I also see it is the sealing of the electoral college - sorry I've been a bit slow on this - been caught up with the politics of my own country lately with brexit stuff!
I've been trying to find the answer to my own question about what the Geminid meteor shower might signify in astrological terms.
I know a bit about astrology but am a long way from expert (disclaimer!) . I'd like to hear from an astrological adept on the following reasoning:
I am going under the premise that the answer to the question would be found by determining what planets are making important aspects to the origin point of the meteor shower, which is near the stars Castor and Pollux (the constellation Gemini). E.g., is Jupiter, Mars, (etc/whatever) squaring, opposing, trining, sextile, or conjunct to Caster/Pollus as viewed in the sky? First we'd have to figure that out. So I went to a sky map of today's planetary positions to look it up . I figured OK, so where are the various planets located in the sky today in relationship to the constellation Gemini?
But then I realized that in terms of the tropical zodiac (which is the most common system used), the constellations do not necessarily coincide with the regions of the sky designated as the zodiac sign of the same name. This is because over the last few thousand years, the Earth's orbit has wobbled and shifted too the point that instead of the sun being in the constellation Aries during the spring equinox, it is now in the consteallaton Pisces.
I could not find a sky map of the classical tropical zodiac "zones" overlain over the modern constellation positions, but I assume Castor and Pollux are now probably in the zodiac sign Taurus instead of Gemini (even though they're still in the Gemini constellation).
That would put the Geminids/Taurus approximately conjunct Uranus (which is now in zodiac sign Taurus), opposing Moon (in zodiac Scorpio), and opposing Venus (also in Scorpio). (See map at https://www.theplanetstoday.com/astrology.html)
Taurus and Scorpio being very tough fixed signs, could a meteor shower with these aspects to them represent a shaking up of the fixed energy? This is just a guess, I have some facility with natal astrology but not much with the astrology of transits (and I even forget the name of transit/event-predicting type astrology).
Critique away!!
