Unaspected Moon?

freedomlover · #1 10-28-2006, 03:18 AM

Since reading the thread about health problems possibly related to the DC, I checked out mine. I have Cancer DC, so mine is ruled by the Moon. Someone on that thread said to check out aspects to the ruler of the 7th house. I went to check out my Moon aspects, and noticed something I never noticed before. Unless you count a trine to my True Node, or conjunction with Pallas - my Moon is unaspected! For a planet to be aspected, does it have to be aspected by another planet? I do work with asteroids, but consider them as minor compared with the planets. And if my Moon IS unaspected, what would that mean? My Moon in in Aquarius in the 1st, under influence of my Cappy AC.

OR Click in the upper left hand corner - look for orange ball with blue arrows in lower right hand corner of chart - click on the orange ball.)

According to the chart provided by the link, the Moon is in a close separating aspect from the Sun.

I'm not too sure about unaspected planets to be honest. I suppose it would depend upon the context in which the planet in the chart is being analysed.

In my own chart, Mercury applies conjunction to Saturn, but neither casts nor receives any aspects. If outer planets are not considered, then Saturn is unaspected too. So as far as personal planets are concerned, the conjunction itself is unaspected.

I await what other's have to say upon this matter.

Even if a planet is unaspected it is worth considering the receptions it may have with other planets, as this would weave it's energies in with other planets in the chart, not making it so isolated. It might also be worth observing if the planet makes any conjunctions to others via antiscion.

A planet which is both unaspected as well as having no receptions would be most interesting for it's seeming inability to relate to other planets in the chart.

Ahh! The Sun! I only looked in the "down" column, and not in the "across". The Sun was the only one in the "across". I'll blame it on Mercury retrograde.

Should I change the name of the thread to "Relatively Unaspected Moon?"

Well, at least we have a topiic for discussion......

You may have unaspected planets yet.

Astrodienst uses huge orb allowances, and when I look at your natal Jupiter, I would say that an orb allowance of ten degrees or more for it's depicted aspect with the Uranus/Pluto conjunction is far too big.

Venus is depicted as in aspect with this outer planet conjunction also, it is a tiny bit wide but I'd accept it.

I would consider Jupiter however, to be definately unaspected.

For the record, opinion of course, I would allow no more than three and a half degrees between Venus and a transpersonal, and no more than four and a half degrees for Jupiter.

If looking at the chart in a strictly primary, bare essentials, personal sense, then Venus would also be unaspected as the aspect involves only transpersonals.

This is just the way I see things of course, but you do have unaspected planets - certainly Jupiter.

Yeah, Draco, I was aware of the Jupiter. Thanks for the info on smaller orbs. That's another reminder to me to figure out how to cut them down on AstroDienst.

So... You say me Venus is pretty much unaspected??? That would explain some things, maybe... I'll have to look into that further.

Thanks!

You can reduce the orb allowances on astrodienst by 50%, the trouble is, that this then does not depict some aspects that should be allowed.

Astrodienst is a great tool, but the day it allows you to set your own orb allowances it will have improved 100%

Charm,

Thanks for those pointers! You know, I never thought of my Jupiter being opposite my AC, because it's in the 6th. But at 28* Gemini, it is only 5 degrees from my DC, at 3* Cancer - and this opposes my AC! I wonder how that is playing out in my life? I know there are those who would not count it, as it is not in opposing signs. But I am of the belief that an opposition is an opposition.

Thanks once again, Charm !
