Refranation in First Meeting Chart?

[Leonine9]

Hi Forum,

In April, Saturn and Chiron will be three degrees from a perfect opposition.
However, Saturn will go direct before the aspect reaches partile.

The definition for refranation refers to a planet that goes retrograde, thereby not completing an aspect. Can one expand the definition to include April's event?

I'm curious not just about refranation but also about having a hard Saturn Chiron aspect in a first meeting and/or wedding chart.

Though perhaps unjustifiably fatalistic, the Magi Society may have a point about the so called "heartbreak clash."

Hello Leonine,

I would not look at Chiron in an electional astrology chart. However this is just my opinion.

As for the refranation. I've recently encountered a first meeting chart where the significator of the woman (Mercury) turned retrograde and conjuncted the Sun before it perfected an aspect with the significator of the man (Jupiter). My delineation was: she's getting back with her ex. By the will of God, so was it.

If the retrograde planet does not perfect any aspect with any other planet, then you can say that one of the parties may change his/her mind and leave the other

Hi Blumen,

Apparently refranations are worth considering.

I'll need to study more charts before drawing conclusions about Chiron in electional charts.

Thanks for your input.
