I have three yods in my chart, help!

[Mary]

Looky at my chart... I hard to figure it out in this astrodienst chart but my yods include

- Mercury/chiron apex,. quincux pluto-neptune-conjunct-lilith sextile

- Pluto apex,.. quincux mercury-conjunct-chiron sextile venus

- Sun apex,.. quincux mars-conjunct-pallas sextile uranus, opposed jupiter (boomerang)

We have several threads about yods on this forum, such as The Yod of God (http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=885) and Still Need Help With Yod Interpretation (http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=866). I'd suggest that you browse through them while you're waiting for an interpretation of your own yods :wink:

P.S. None of your yods are visible in the chart you posted...

Aquarian Maverick:

I know the astrodienst chart does not show those yods, I just had to take the time to do the chart with my astrology software.


Thanks for the info!

Mary,
A Yod is only formed if the fastest moving planet is the apex planet. Pluto can never be the apex planet in the natal chart (being the slowest moving planet), so the second one is not a Yod technically. Now coming to the first one, you are taking Lilith to be one of the inconjunct "planets". I personally only consider planets from Sun to Pluto(Chiron included) when it comes to aspect patterns so I would even discount the first one as not being a Yod. The third one is indeed a Boomerang formed by Sun being the apex planet and jupiter being on the release point, a boomerang is generally considered to be less "stressful" than a Yod as the release planet provides a balance/outlet for the two disparate energies of the inconjuncts.
Another thing to keep in mind is that any sextile in your chart is generally a Yod in the making by Transit/Progression :).

Best,
S

I have heard of this particular theory before but I personally don't agree with it...my Pluto apex yod is a strong influence in my chart, as it receives the inconjunct energies of ALL of my personal planets through a tight Sun-Venus-Mercury stellium sextile Mars. I suppose it depends upon each person's situation :wink:

I agree with you Aquarian Maverik, I pretty consious of they "fated" energy the yod to pluto and saturn (also jupiter) my life in my house and the relatioship with the prople I live with It´s sth that made me grow since I was very little. The Finger of God was pointing at my home, and this is pretty evident, any close friend would agree with me.

And the other yod the one formed by mercury conjunct chiron as the apex is actually acurate since, if we take lilith away, there would still be a sextile between pluto and neptune.

Thanks again. :)

Well, I still don't agree with Pluto being the apex planet but as I said in my earlier post any natal sextile is a Yod in the making by Transit/Progression. Now since transitting/progressed planets move faster than natal planets, anytime a planet by transit (or progression) inconjuncts your sextile planets (Aquarian Maverck: since I haven't seen your birth chart yet, I don't know which other planet is sextiling your stellium) you'll have a Yod formation. The apex planet would always be in the same house (i.e. where you would influence this imbalance of energy) but what kind of imbalance you would influence would be completley governed by the nature of the transitting planet , I would ask you to do a simple analysis of your chart to test/prove my hypothesis: find some dates from the past where you had a transitting/progressed planet forming a Yod to your natal sextile between ? and the stellium (you can further filter it where the transitting planet was an outer planet i.e Uranus to Pluto) and see whether it indeed proves my theory that you would still have felt the influence of the Yod where the transitting apex planet is but the what you would have been governed by the transitting planet. The outer planets work better for transits is due to their very slow moving behaviour which would mean that the Yod would be in orb (use orb of 2degrees or so) for quite some time and would generally point to something substantial that happened during that phase. Also since you have a stellium involving inner planets(again I don't know what orb you are using for the stellium, I tend to use very tight orbs when it comes to aspect patterns), a tranistting/progressed Yod would trigger imbalance between quite a few inner planets i.e things that more or less define us.

Coming to Mary's reply about the second Yod with a Neptune/Uranus sextile (sorry I missed seeing neptune pluto sextile): technically it's a Yod as you have Mercury(fastest of the 3) as the apex planet but would I worry about it if I have it in my chart? well no, almost everyone born during your time would have had a neptune-pluto sextile and even if it's triggered by a transit/progression it would still form a Yod which involves two outer planets and hence the influence would be something that you would not perhaps feel at personal level. In my opinion a Yod or for that matter any aspect pattern is more important if you have atleast two inner/social planets involved (sun to saturn), an aspect is important if it's got atleast one inner planet involved.

I'm a bit confused by your instructions...you can view my natal chart here (http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=963&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=8) :wink:

Had a cursory look at your chart and let me try to dissect your Yod :). The base planets consist of a stellium in Aries sextiling Mars in Gemini. Mars in Gemini is dignified by face whereas in the stellium Sun is exhalted, mercury dignified by Terms and Venus in detriment but Cazimi, since the apex planet has to be in Scorpio (co-ruled by Mars) this particular Yod configuration is not "averse" or so to say that "hard", now anytime there is a T-planet (or for that matter progressed planet) conjuncting your N-Pluto you would have a Yod formation given the faster movement of the transitting planet. So for e.g. a transitting jupiter conjunct pluto would form a Yod with your stellium and mars and it would affect your 9th house the most (as this is the place where the apex planet would be), T-Yods (as I like to call them) also at times mean some timing issues i.e. whenever a Yod is formed the stellium would come act too soon (in your case your egos, self-worth, pride, emotions, communication etc.) whereas your agression and actions (Mars) would wait for too long...and since we're dealing with the 9th house here it would mostly be concerned about learning crisis i.e trying to find out how you fit in the biggger scheme of things.

Hi Mary. Here's my take on your Yods. My approach is to look at the polarity point of the apex planet because that's where the double inconjunct energy tends to express itself IMO.

So your first Yod, the Chiron/Mercury apex I look for the midpoint first which is 23 Taurus and its polarity point would be 23 Scorpio. I read the Sabian symbols for insight into the meaning of this degree which reads:

233__(23°)
PLACID WHITE RABBIT METAMORPHOSES INTO A DANCING ELF Revelation of unexpected vital urges latent in all beings. Great creative potentialities. Capacity for self-maintenance.
___*When positive, the degree is the thorough self-conquest by which an individual subordinates his naive and animal impulses to his ideals and aspirations, and when negative, undisciplined escapism and complete distortion of attitude.

With Neptune and Pluto providing the inconjuncts, I could see where you might have had some challenges here. This occurs in your 5th house of romance and self-expression as well as creativity.

So lets look at Pluto next since it rules your 5th house. It receives its inconjuncts from Venus and the same Chiron/Mercury conjunction. Pluto is at 26 Libra so we'll look at 26 Aries in the 10th house of career or ambition. This reads:

26__(26°)
A MAN, BURSTING WITH THE WEALTH OF WHAT HE HAS TO GIVE Supreme endowment, and inexhaustibilty of resources in all possible life realms. Sometimes obsession by potentiality.
___*When positive, the degree is an uncompromising independence and an inexhaustible drive toward self-discovery, and when negative, an obsession by ideas of no practical worth.

With Aries ruling your 10th house and Mars in the third house conjunct Pallas in Libra, I imagine you have a lot of drive and ability to focus it one Libra-like activities. With Venus in 9 in Pisces, maybe in sublime ways, artistic, poetic, inspirational.

Mars is part of next yod that has your Sun at the apex opposing Jupiter and Uranus at the other inconjunct position. In the case of a boomerang as you have her with the opposition, I read for both parts of the opposition. Sun is at 8 Taurus which reads:

38__(8°)
A SLEIGH SPEEDS OVER GROUND AS YET UNCOVERED BY SNOW Independence of the will of the self from outer circumstances. Power to mould life upon the pioneer's prophetic vision.
___*When positive, the degree is a complete and effective alignment of self with whatever greater possibilities may remain unrealized in a given milieu, and when negative, a cheerful tolerance of today's frustrations in the vague hope of a better tomorrow.

This in your 10th house could prove to be a great asset in realizing the vision you're acting upon.

The other side of the boomerang is Jupiter at 6 Scorpio which reads:

216__(6°)
CALIFORNIAN HILLS: THE "GOLD RUSH" SHATTERS THEIR PEACE The passionate quest for universal values, destructive of cultural ease of living. Leaping to opportunity. Avid seeking.
___*When positive, the degree is instinctive self-dedication to the unseen potentials of everyday existence, and when negative, a lack of practical discrimination and an irresistible desire for easy money.

With Jupiter ruling your 6th house maybe this has translated into jobs that were not what they turned out to be as promised. Maybe a little oversold to you.

Well, hope that helps.

[Mary]

thank you all

Kite: I loved your interpretation.

And by the way don´t you have the 218 sabian symbol interpretation handY?


good luck


mary

[Kite]

Sure:

218__(8°)
A HIGH MOUNTAIN LAKE IS BATHED IN THE FULL MOONLIGHT Illumination of the soul by transcendent wisdom. Quiet touch with cosmic strength; or wayward moody effort at greatness.
___*When positive, the degree is an absolute and usually unsuspected mastery over the forces and exigencies of life and nature, and when negative, witless joy in the sheer vagaries of imagination.

Mary, many of us here use Sabian References (http://360sequations.tripod.com/sequations/id13.html) to look up the sabian symbol for a particular degree...you may find this site useful :wink:
