Horary Repeats Itself Via Transits

Just because a horary question is posed does not mean the issue inquired about resolves itself immediately upon being answered. Life has to play itself out, and so does the chart. This is where using transits in horary is invaluable, because you can see when the "nerve" will be struck next.

In the example below, the inner chart is the original horary question about whether a woman would keep her job, as she was having problems with her boss.

Jupiter, representing the querent, recently was squared by Mars to inflame the matter, and Mercury (the boss) is quindecile Jupiter/the querent, causing the querent to stress and obsess over what to do. The boss/Mercury is separating from Sun combustion, and is in skitzy Libra. The Moon, co-ruling the querent is separating from a sextile to Pluto, and sitting right on the Pluto-Jupiter midpoint, so the querent should hang tough and weather the intensity of the storm, as she'd come out okay.

So the querent hung tough--until a month later when the transiting Sun opposed her ruler in Chart 1 (original horary question), prompting another horary question about the same matter, Chart 2 (outer wheel).

In the 2nd chart (by itself, below), note the early degree rising again--the matter has a long way to go until resolution.

The Moon-Uranus conjunction is showing the antsyness and restlessnes on the querent's part to overthrow the boss' chains (Lilith opposing Saturn). The querent is exalted Saturn so overly-dignified in strength as to be laughable. It is semi-squaring Venus, her boss, again, showing the friction in addition to the Sun-Jupiter opposition by transit from Chart 1. But this time, clearly the querent has more power than she believes, and demonstrated such at an event a few days later where she received much acclaim for her participation. The boss/Venus in the 2nd chart is now in Sadge, and more favorable toward the querent after the successful event.

But what of extremely exalted and powerful Saturn at Spica ruling the early degree ASC? A new job opportunity presented itself to the querent, giving her the chance to change her circumstances in her job--on her terms. By weathering the Jupiter storm in the first chart, opportunity presented itself in the 2nd. (In chart 2, note the late degrees of the Moon, it's dispositor Neptune, and Mars, ruler of the 4th, showing the ending of this position and the likely new beginning--0 degrees Capricorn ASC--as the beginning of something better. As in the querent having more control over her fate, rather than being at the whims of a scattered boss.)

The Astrology of Occupy Wall Street

DISCLOSURE: I am a former subscriber and current reader of Adbusters, the organization that is the impetus behind the Occupy Wall Street movement. I wholly and completely support the protesters.

------------------

The Occupy Wall Street protest movement began on 9/17/2011 at 12PM EDT in New York City. The event chart looks like this:

This article will focus on three specific areas in relation to the OWS event chart: 1) The Players 2) The Action and 3) Likely Outcomes. An in-depth interpretation of the above chart will be published here shortly.
As far as chart significators are concerned:

Pluto rules the Scorpio Ascendant of the protesters; a perfect description of the plutocracy they are fighting against. Venus rules the 7th house of open enemies, a.k.a. the Wall Street brokers, bankers, and others of their ilk. The Moon is co-ruler of the protesters and also rules the public/public opinion. Saturn rules the government. The 10th house rules the institutions of power, both government and business.
Most interesting is the claim in the media that the protesters don't have a clear message (Neptune retrograde in the 3rd). This is where the importance of asteroids comes in: Vesta in Aquarius in the 3rd dispositing to Venus in the 10th, opposing Uranus, Vesta's primary dispositor shows that the message couldn't be more than obvious--it's that the powers that be don't care to hear it. As the Seattle alt-weekly newspaper, The Stranger, so succinctly put it:

"The protesters don't have a clear message...? Really? Are you fucking stupid? The protest is the message. Incomes are down. Unemployment is up. Bailouts and bonuses have stretched the gap between rich and poor to its widest since the Gilded Age. And the 99 Percent are pissed. Fix it or get out of the way. What could possibly be unclear about that?"  (The Stranger, Oct. 12, 2011, p.7)

More to come. (Be sure to check out http://bit.ly/vi3Vea for an excellent article about the movement.)

Meanwhile, as explained in the book Open Source Modern Horary Astrology, midpoint trees can be used instead of event or horary charts like the one above. The Occupy Wall Street 90-degree midpoint tree for the same data above is as follows:

Look at that Venus picture. Free and clear. No problems and no worries for Wall Street. Completely in control as they bathe in business as usual.

Look at the ASC, Moon and Pluto for the Protest movement. An uphill battle in the following areas:

PL=Juno/Ceres         Undermining personal security

PL=Saturn/Ceres      Government compliance in undermining of personal security.

ASC=Ceres/Mars     Fight for personal security

ASC=Pluto/Saturn    Fighting the establishment of entrenched power, specifically the government compliance w/Wall St.

ASC=Pluto/Juno       Political corruption

ASC=Sun/Pallas      Strategic problems

Moon=Uranus/Vertex    Independent movement with no centralized leadership can be difficult to rally behind to create a critcal mass point.

Moon=Mercury/Pallas   Problems with messaging strategies to the wider public.
