LOL at the 10 characters! - i am glad you knew what that meant! i might have to use it again here, lol..
The sesquisquare is an aspect I have never used. Could you tell me more about it. 135 degrees is the midway point between a square and an opposition.. it is an aspect based off circle divided by 8 - semisquares and extensions.. like all hard aspects (circle divided by- 2, 4, 8, and etc) they seem to connect directly to some type of manifestation on the physical plane.. they are used by some, but not all astrologers in predictive work.. uranian astrology is a type of astrology developed by alfred witte and later reinhold ebertin, who both worked extensively with the hard aspects, 2, and 4 series you are already familiar with, along with the 8th series aspects which include the semisquare and sesquisquare.. using any type of progressed or directed chart has as it's focus some type of predictive work, which is different then say trying to read a natal chart.. the focus is on making predictions thru these different techniques. i use these aspects in a 1 degree or less context..
another helpful idea that doesn't get discussed much, not connected to the use of this 135 hard aspect is the idea that 2 planets or point/planet that comes together in a chart will manifest more in keeping with the way these planets or points/planets are aligned in the chart.. for example,if 2 planets in hard aspect in the natal chart (seen as more difficult) when coming together in the predictive chart, regardless of the nature of the aspect that brings them together with the predictive chart they will reflect the nature of their interaction in the natal chart.. a common thought that i used to have a long time ago was that if it is a 'favourable' aspect like a 120 or 60, then it will imply something favourable, but i don't see it this way anymore.. it hinges on the relationship in the natal chart in how the connections being made thru the predictive chart will manifest.. hopefully i have explained this fairly well here, but if it confuses you, i will give an example next time. i can't recall exactly what i commented on with your chart to get back to that at the moment..
Thank you so very much for your help, teaching and clarification. Much appreciated! - hey thanks!!
Why would the 3rd house represent a better chance of fertility than the 2nd and why are you turning the chart to arrive at this conclusion? well, i am just trying to figure out off the natal chart what the likelihood of pregnancy or the need/desire/interest is in pregnancy as i think it will help me to make a better guess as the likelihood using a predictive tool! sag is considered a more barren sign not so great for having children and this is where both the moon and venus - 2 planets associated closely with fertility - are located.. if i turn the chart it puts these 2 in the 12th house to the sun and i think of the 12th sign as more fertile.. i don't want to draw a straight line from houses to signs, but i do think there are some parallels. without turning the chart, the 2nd would be considered more fertile then the 3rd as i understand it, but most of the concepts handed down on these types of things are shown thru the signs, not the houses.. the main house for children is the 5th and perhaps by opposition the 11th..
I think you are spot on when it comes to Saturn being the decider of me having children. Being a Capricorn (4th no less), security is extremely important to me and raising a child in a fair, warm, calm, peaceful environment would be of the utmost importance to me if I did have one. kudos to you for having that type of attitude, but then i sensed that already about you!
Being totally unstable at the moment, the idea of having a child is terrifying, but I suppose most people would feel that way. one would hope, but i don't know if that is the case..
BTW, side note, progressed Asc, Saturn conjunct natal POF.....what on earth can that mean??!!? good question.. for me the pof is the angle between the sun and moon, thrown off the ascendant(depending on night or day birth) and put into a symbol on the chart.. if you understand the basis for the symbol, then you see how this angle relationship is being echoed by putting it off the ascendant in your natal chart.. the distance is now put down into a sign and house in the natal chart as opposed to only reflecting the sun/moon distance without any immediate connection to the chart.. wow, that was wordy, but if you understand what the pof is, it will really help to think about what it could mean with a predictive instrument highlighting this point in some way..
i just looked at your chart now.. the distance from moon to sun is about 23 degrees, right? the distance from your ascendant to the pof is 23 degrees too.. that is taking the distance between sun/moon and extending if off the ascendant into a sign and house.. if you had have been born in the day, it would have been the same distance 23 degrees, but in the opposite direction off the ascendant.. to me the meaning is like some type of echo that is being recreated somehow, but one would have to bring it back to the natal chart somehow.. sun/moon phase in your chart is balsamic, more 'end of cycle' dispersing the wisdom from the full moon prior to birth and perhaps also gathering energy in anticipation of the new cycle that you asked about earlier that shows up in the sec prog chart.. saturn is in a strong place in your chart in mostly a good way as i understand it, especially as you get older, not so much perhaps growing up - this is how i see saturn - maturing with age in a good way like a fine wine, but not good to the taste in the early phase of life! i think the connection here might help clarify things for you going forward in terms of long term plans, the direction you would like to see you life take moving forward and stuff like this.. but maybe someone else would see it differently!
My thoughts, restrictions all the way around, but a time of gaining personal authority in my life. I wonder, what it means to have my progressed Saturn and Asc moving at the same rate of speed as well..... - if you start looking at different types of predictive charts, you will be able to see all sorts of patterns.. everything has to come back to the natal chart and using it as a guide to understand how you might be able to transcend the natal chart to gain a level of freedom, peace and happiness that is only possible by reaching some type of awakening, which is where i think we are all headed.. i know it sounds pie in the sky, but it is how i see life and where we are going.. i suppose i am an idealist still! short answer to your question - it is like another echo - amplifying where saturn is located in your chart.. don't want to let the echos distract ya too much!!!!
Thanks for steering me towards that software. I'll download it when I get home.
Thanks again!
