YOD info please

[millionora]

Hi ALL,

I have been searching for a website that can automatically calculate my YOD,
i am or have been searching for my actual reason for being in this world, other than to bring my two boys into this world, i feel there is more to life than just procreating and working in routine.

I have read that the YOD can give answers to this and can be a start or trigger for finding purpose in life.

if anybody can offer how to calculate this and be able to comprehend what it means i would be greatful in all the words meaning..

thank you.

Love, light, truth

blessings!

www.astro.com gives free charts including internal aspects like yods. But feel you may well be disappointed with just that alone.

Everyone feels frustrated, disgruntled at times. Life has lots of challenges, reasons for us to be here, cos in my opinion its all about Lessons that we have chosen, or want to learn spiritually. Cos when the physical body dies, what's left, your mental and emtional and spiritual experiences and that's what you take back home with you.....

from http://www.cafeastrology.com/article...tpatterns.html
Yod
This is a quincunx-sextile-quincunx. It features a crisis of - and a need for - perspective, in which the energies of the two sextiled planets find difficulty integrating with that of the apex, quincunxed planet. This dichotomy is not directly a conflict, rather a bewilderingly dualistic, seemingly irresolvable and compromising situation. This is an 'appointment with power' in which consciousness and its capacity for seeing are tested. It is a secret to be decoded, an intense dilemma, or a visitation from the Unknown. This is where intentions refuse to gel with realities: the solution is available as soon as clarity and insight dawn - there's a hidden secret underneath which needs dredging up. Allowing things to happen rather than seeking to steer them is what is called for here: yet, underneath, there is a new kind of adepthood which brings in a new form of control without holding on, if we can see it.

The yod can be accentuated when an opposition is thrown in, with two semisextile aspects too. The opposition forces the issue, and the apex planet then becomes very critical: what it represents needs to be consciously worked, owned and integrated.

****
It all depends on the planets involved the houses they are located, any other aspects to these planets, eg; easy trines or T squares.

Maybe its just a passing transit that's making you feel like questioning everything, or even a typical Neptune square Neptune, midlife crisis. If you want others to help and analyse your chart, its best to upload and post it...

I have noticed that people with 3-4 quincunxs in a chart are 'always' looking for answers to the divine meaning to life, bit like the mutables...

Of course progressions and transits can 'set off' the Yod, which otherwise these energies are still not quite integrated within the personality.

Thank you dearly Astrolger50. ok i have attached my natal chart.

What i get is that my YOD is Mars in 2nd, Saturn in 4th, and Neptune in 9th.
{I am still not at the level to be able to comprehend what exactly this means}

Ok now for my natal chart the only heaviness that i could see is that Transiting Pluto is opposing my Natal Saturn, could that be triggering my YOD?
i have read that a transiting planet can triggering this "inner crisis or conflict" in the YOD.
I do beleive that we all have a divine purpose here( larger than just doing our daily routine, it doesnt satisfy me to accept just that we are here just to be), perhaps that is what i want to know truly. what my purpose is? so that i could get started on it
and be on my spiritual path, or do whatever it is i am here to do, and know who i am, this is what led me to YOD research. I do feel i an ready to be awakened. just the fact that i am in search of truth in a deeper way, and not accepting anything at face value tells me that i am ready.

I always believed that when the student is ready, the teacher appears.

Thank you.

love, light, truth.

Blessings.



people have battled this and i want to conquer it

One cannot expect a Yod to be a major life changing event. It may be the subtleties of everyday living. You may be here to perhaps to, I don't know... delay someone for a moment in time..and prevent something from happening to them, or happening TO them. You may do something major and be aware of it. maybe not. Relax and whatever the reason is and why, you may never know. I realize the secret may be to figure it out, and it's purpose but some are expecting whistles and bells and it is just not the case.

Thank you Aquarius T for your help. I wish life was as ez as whistles and Bells. I do feel that i should be helping on a grander scale and perhaps doing something that benefits as many people as possible. this is what brought me to the YOD issue. I thought perhaps with some different perpectives in regards to YOD, i could manage to find this way to do whatever it is i am suppose to. I somehow feel there is a larger meaning to life. yes i will try to relax but my merc in scorp in my 8th doesnt allow me much relaxing time. I am always digging.

Thank you.

Instantly i notice T Pluto has been opposing your natal moon. Oppositions are other people, and has prob been going on over last two years or so regarding your MC first then moon. Usually this brings major transformations ONLY if your time of birth is correct. If your time is out T Pluto will be going over it now and opposing saturn this year.

Saggi is the sign of teacher, traveller, journalist, lawyer, higher education, philosophy, religion. Maybe you have been experiencing some of these things, when you mention spiritualism.

With Pisces Asc (which is quite rare, only 30-40 minutes) Sagg MC and libra sun, there is lots of restlessness always present in your chart/life. Pisces always wants to be of service and sacrifice part of itself for other peopel or causes.

For your Yod to be triggered it would have to go over your Neptune which happened some years ago. So anything going over 4-5' gemini causing opp to neptune.

Watch for T Saturn is going to square your natal moon, which may cause finaincial and emotional hardships, or just test what is really valid in your life at that time..

Take care

Venus conj Neptune is romantic disillusionment, deception.

Thank you Astrologer50.
Yes you are right, my life in the past 2 years has changed due to other people. i divorced my husband (but i was happy in doing so, Pluto will destroy what no longer serves us correct.)
Yes the birth time is correct according to my birthcertificate from the hospital. Yes are right about my field of work which involves Journalism and media, and also the spritual realm ( I am a Reiki Master),

so basically i am in for a heavy duty 2 years coming up, with saturn transiting my 7th house (sun, uranus, Pluto all sitting in there),

so T saturn will square my moon, but what kind of effects shall i expect with TSaturn squaring my Natal Saturn? also Tpluto will square my Natal Pluto, oppose my natal Saturn .


i can imagine i will be facing the heaviest tests of my 35 years of life???

and i thought being married to a abusive man was difficult...

Where would it show in my chart if i will be able to persevere all of these heavyduty transits?

Love, light, truth.

Blessings.

From Wikipedia

The two planets in the sextile are in a complementary relationship and the quincunxed planet element is typically incompatible with the sextile on the other side of the heavens (though the ruler of the planet and house should be also considered). This aspect activates either a powerful conduit of energy, or a deeply-felt block, in the direction of the quincuxed planet.

This aspect activates either a powerful conduit of energy, or a deeply-felt block, in the direction of the quincunxed planet. The quincunxed planet is pulling in an opposite direction from the other two in a harmonious sextile, so close attention with other aspects, houses, planet, rulers, and chart locations must all be examined.

Hey Mil

You don't just have one yod aspect in your natal chart; if I'm reading it correctly, you have three:

• Neptune sextile Pluto both quincunx Mars
• Jupiter sextile Neptune both quincunx Saturn
• Mars sextile Saturn both quincunx Neptune

Interestingly, the apex planet of two of these yods is in the sign of its detriment--Mars in Taurus and Saturn in Cancer. I would pay particular attention to the Neptune apex yod because Neptune is the ruler of your Pisces Ascendant. Interestingly, Mars may be regarded as a kind of subruler--it rules the third decanate of Pisces, in which your Ascendant is located, and it is the ruler of your intercepted sign, Aries. Venus is not within orb to be included in the yod, but it is connected indirectly through its conjunction with Neptune. I don't have much experience with this conjunction, but Venus-Neptune seems to be a rather "dreamy" combination, for lack of a better term--and it's in the high-ideals sign of Sagittarius to boot. This conjunction is "anchored" somewhat by the two "heavy" planets at its base--the lesser malefic, Mars, and the greater malefic, Saturn. Yet as I mentioned earlier, both of these planets are in the signs of their detriment, which means they may not operate to their maximum degree of effectiveness. Thus, I receive an impression of these planets are attempting to "weigh down" the Venus-Neptune conjunction, but they may not succeed due to their weak sign placement.

The energies of a yod are often difficult to integrate, but the planets involved in this yod seem especially antagonistic--again for lack of a better term. Yet each of your yod configurations point to Mars, Saturn, and Neptune in turn, indicating that you must develop and utilize all of these energies!

Again, it is not within orb of the yod, but look at your North Node/South Node axis (only your North Node is shown in the Astrodienst chart; it looks like a horseshoe). I have not described the Jupiter sextile Neptune, both quincunx Saturn yod, but there's an interesting dynamic at play--a reflection of energies. Saturn in Cancer rules your North Node, yet it's also opposite your North Node, or conjunct your South Node. Thus, there's a sense of "bouncing" between outworn patterns of behavior and patterns of behavior you need to develop--to simplify the concept, between past and future. The apex of the yod is Saturn, which is conjunct your South Node, which seems to indicate a focus upon the past, or at least a tendency to play roles you are familiar with. I find it very, very interesting that you mentioned that you feel you have a greater purpose than being the mother of your two sons because Cancer is the sign of family/clan and the fourth house is the foundation of the chart, often indicating the conditions of one's childhood home! The Moon is conjunct Saturn, to boot--although it's in the sign of Gemini. The Moon represents motherhood, among other things. I find myself unable to explain this satisfactorily, but do you understand the emphasis upon home/mother? You reflected it in your post, most likely unaware of this astrological influence! Your North Node indicates your soul direction, which is opposite this Moon/Saturn conjunction. It's right at the top of your chart, in the tenth house, conjunct your Midheaven. The North Node is not a planet, and thus is not "visible," but it's in a very prominent location of the chart. It wants to be seen, it wants to be recognized for achievement through its own efforts! By the way, it's also conjunct the Aries Point, also known as the Cardinal Point, which is another point that corresponds with this theme of "high visibility." Now, this does not necessarily indicate that you will be famous, but your soul yearns to move in a direction in which it can develop itself in a different way.

Please note: I am not saying that your role as a mother is unimportant! The ruler of your North Node, Saturn, is in the fourth house in Cancer, so you've accepted the task of integrating two very different energies within yourself. I think that Saturn is an important part of your identity because your two chart rulers--the modern ruler Neptune and the ancient ruler Jupiter--quincunx Saturn; they're "pointing" at it. I keep coming back to that Saturn-Moon conjunction. Saturn often indicates an area of great responsibility, and the Moon indicates emotions, motherhood, etc. I tend to think of the Moon as being indicative of the native's mother, not necessarily their feelings regarding motherhood, but the two are intimately related.

My mind's spinning all over the place, and I don't think I'm making a great deal of sense. In addition to your yods, I also recommend that you explore your incredibly tight Sun-Uranus conjunction, which is practically screaming "Freedom!" Uranus does not like to be constrained, you see; indeed, I do not believe Uranus can be constrained. This adds an interesting overtone to your Libra Sun, which is often regarded as "civil." Uranus doesn't particularly care to be "civil." So the apparent contradictions continue again--more energy to integrate. Isn't astrology fun?
