Does a square become trine?Get a Saturn trine on that Mars so you can get that under control.
Does a square become trine?
Other than abusing each others ego's it's on topic and I'm jesting.Only in transits.
We've gone off topic.
Math is the language of the universe though. It literally is. Math and Astrology go hand and hand. Math is the practical and objective language that we use to literally calculate matter and energy. LITERALLY.
There's a reason why trines are the easiest. They are 120 degrees. They make triangles. Triangles are the most powerful building blocks in the universe.
Same with sextiles. You can see hexagons in bee hives because they're a great basic structure.
Things made out of squares have to be perfected and get "worn out" over time because there's a sense of tension with them. People in the modern world agonize for perfect geometric modern furniture with smooth surfaces and flat tops.
And then 180 degrees is like half of a circle so like yeahhh... if you add all the angles of a triangle it will always equal 180.
And then the conjunct is obvious.
Ignoring these numbers because of some signs is ridiculous.
This is Astrology - not geometry or maths. Everything is energy based, not angle based, unless one is confused. Energy goes ahead of angles here.
Should be simple to understand really.
Hi,
I don't like being closed-minded to incoming discoveries and news. That said, being a fixed-sign solar and asc. native, it will take a lot of provable convincing to make me change what I currently live with and believe in - at any given point in time.
What I can tell you for sure
.I actually started out with modern astrology over a decade ago. However, everytime I would read a delineation of a natal or mundane chart, which used traditional sign rulers, they would completely outshine my working with Nep or Plu as Pisces' and Sco's rulers respectively
I started getting into understanding how Mars made more sense Sco's ruler, and that not just at the level of Mars being agressive or jealous and whatnot one conveniently (I too at that time) associated with Sco., but from the very roots of the planet - right from its humour and temperament. Once all that made so much sense, I started practising it myself and saw that theory actually working on the charts I was working with, one by one. I stuck to practising it quite a few years until I was so convinced that the outers completely faded out for me as sign rulers.
However, they still had their role to play when sitting on an angle or being in a one of the mainstream aspects to the luminaries, especially, and to other inner planets, incl. Jupiter and Saturn, since I use the latter as sign rulers.
What I can tell you for sure is that the lunar nodes play a very important role when transiting houses and signs. They will seldom transit a house without an event happening, even if not a big one, but they will jolt the house they are going through
Some astrology folks consider aspects to be aspects if they're within orb but out of sign. Others do not, citing the elemental natures involved. Fair enough. Personally, I do tend to consider out of sign aspects if the orb is close enough, but for those who do, how do you reconcile the nature of the signs with the nature of the aspect?
For example, if we consider aspects by orb, a planet at 29 Aries and a planet at 0 Leo are square. But, both being fire signs, they have that shared fire nature, and by sign, they're trine. Does that make it a different quality square?
Katydid,Why would you say that Astrology was not angle based and not geometry or math?
Fair enough, since your Sun is fixed, too, you perhaps understand what I said.My FIXED sign 9th house Sun square Jupiter can say the same.
And I don't have itThis sounded very like the sort of comment a Jupiter in Taurus could make.
I truly hope that you read the rest of my text that you did not include in the quote. I said I do not use (after having enough convincing reason not to) the outers as sign rulers, BUT I do use them if they are in tight orbs with inner planets or if they are sitting on angles.This is a comment I have heard a number of times from those who ventured into traditional astrology, and even taught it. Yet, when I questioned their denial of the outer planets that ARE physically part of the solar system, none was able to offer an answer.
Mars, after letting go of self-assertion with increasing age takes over battles of the self and assertion of the self in other areas of life. For instance, when we grow older, we could develop a physical ailment and Mars will help us fight it. Or one may lose one's job and again Mars will help us fight thru that depression and give us the gusto to look for another one. These are just a few examples. However, my point is that Mars, as far as I am concerned, remains the ruler of Scorpio, regardless of the native's age.I was taught and totally agree that Mars has rulership of Scorpio in youth, and under influence of Moon. Yet there does come a time when self assertion and will undergo an 'extra boost', as it were, in which the cutting away of old habitual roots is necessary.
And, that is what I keep requesting - to have the natal chart in front of me, instead one or two thing's from the native's life and those explained through just your own perspective, using out-of-sign aspects. If I don't have the chart in front of me, no matter how clearly you may have explained things, I will refrain from commenting because I do not have the whole picture to glean from. ThanksThis is interesting to philosophise about because my son also has an out of sign Moon end Virgo closely conjunct Pluto begin Libra (ex-wife's Sun)in 7th house. It squares Jupiter end Sagittarius in 11th house, and trines Saturn in 3rd house. She is from a financially independent wealthy family and ruled the proverbial marriage roost. She betrayed his total trust in their relationship. He went through a for him almost self destructive and traumatic divorce that left him penniless.
His 2nd house Mars in Aries makes but one aspect to Uranus in the 8th house!
Hi,
And, that is what I keep requesting - to have the natal chart in front of me, instead one or two thing's from the native's life and those explained through just your own perspective, using out-of-sign aspects..

You know traditional astrologers that use out-of-sign aspects?I don't see the difference between 'just your own persepctive' in using out of sign aspects compared to those who do the same using traditional rules.
But that's just me.
Did I talk about "visualising" aspects? Perhaps it may be getting confusing for you because some others here on this thread are talking about "visual" planets, etc. What I said was that I do not like to comment on just one constellation without seeing the whole chart and just based on just the one or two aspects you mention (because that mentioning/interp is from your own perspective)The subject is not about gleaning the whole picture from a chart, it is about any difference in strength of a specific planetary aspect (and rulership) from the traditional versus modern perspective.
Katydid,
I said nowhere that I did not use aspects. What I did say and you completely missed it "was that sign energies go before aspects". Did you not see that?
I do NOT consider 'out-of-sign' aspects at all, not even if they are as close 29*55" and 0*5". Does that example help when I say that sign energies go before aspects?
What you choose to not take into consideration is the fact that we are not talking about pure mathematics. We are talking about Astrology, where we first take into consideration the signs, their rulers, planets in those signs and houses and THEN aspects because without signs, houses and planets, there would be NO aspects.YIn other words, if the aspect of a square, which BY DEFINITION, is a 90 degree arc, is not considered to be a square, by your theory, then you are totally counting signs as the only important factor.

Now, 2nd point to consider, when we do consider signs and planets, we consider which planet is placed in which sign because that is how we know whether it is strong or weak.
3rd consideration, it is because of that strength or weakness that it gets its power to act. Next we consider its house placement. And then come the aspects.
Pretty basic and something I learnt in Astrology when I started out. But always good to revise.
But you have already said that no matter what planets, or what houses, or what strength, no matter what circumstances, if the aspect is 'out of sign', you do not count it as that aspect.
I have repeatedly been stating that sign energies come before aspects,So all of that step by step stuff you just posted above, is meaningless. Just a smoke screen, to pretend that all of that is taken into account, when in this particular 'rule', it is all superfluous.
You have an absolute rule, which you are proud of putting out there as absolute fact, no questioning allowed. To question it, apparently means that one is confused, or too simple to follow your superior logic.
You might want to look at ignoring the random blue lines shown by astro.com . Think beyond those random lines and consider that the sign energies are much more important and have a real logic to them, which gives an astrologer a fundament to work with. Since Taurus and Cancerian energies trine each other, earth and water like each other to put it in simple language, planets in these signs cannot square each other.
