Why the Birth Time is Important in Astrology
Переглядів 65310 місяців тому
The birth time is important in astrology because it allows you to calculate the Ascendant and rising sign, which are much more personal and specific to you in the birth chart than the Sun sign and Moon sign. This is a clip from episode 414 of The Astrology Podcast titled The Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign in Astrology, with astrologers Chani Nicholas and Chris Brennan.

    MrBeast is fascinating. I watch his videos and it is just amazing how accurate his chart is to his actions. It is truly superhuman how he is able to generate so much content at the level he has. Watched a few interviews with him. He lives at his studio. He said he has a house, but its just easier if he sleeps at the studio. If he is not sleeping, he is working and he has had to "make time" to work out and see his girlfriend as his tendency is to just work. It seems that Mars-Sun conjunction is the force behind this. Wonder if it's in the 1st, 6th or 10th. I also have Jupiter in Pisces so I totally get MrBeast. He is visionary.

      I can see where you’re coming from but what about his Uranus in Aquarius squaring his Sun in Taurus? Not only is Uranus dignified giving him a leg up on relevance but the square itself is gonna motivate him even more to stay relevant. Reason being that it’s directly involving his identity and sense of value/purpose with his Sun in Taurus.

    There is some evidence that Jung used astrology with his patients "to view them from a different angle." One thing is clear to be being an expert in Jungian theory and astrology is that it is clear to me the ideas of positive and negative transference and counter transference in psychology are used differently in Jungian theory. Not anything is being "transferred," in analytical theory, but is really archetypes which are unconsciously projected like wise old man, shadow, anima, animus, self etc. These can result in communication difficulties, misunderstandings, and even deception, illusion, incorrect judgments in the therapy both by the doctor or patient.

It’s definitely a process and my son has his mercury conjunct Saturn as well in sag and he had speech delay and had to do speech therapy at the age of 2 and still takes longer to explain things to others… he repeats sentences and starts over because he’s trying to say it right .

But an urge to have a past life regression in November of 2012 launched an expansion of my spirituality and my counseling practice.

      Before I even saw his chart, I always felt he might be a double Aquarius having done so well on YT. However, I have to agree with you that he definitely looks like he could be Pisces rising with Jupiter close. Makes sense too where I was feeling that Aquarius energy, having his Uranus in Aquarius squaring his Sun in Taurus. His Neptune in Aquarius also gives him a more Aquarius rising feel too.

      There is an ancient Egyptian icon, it is called the Metternich stele, three dates are recorded on two sides of the icon: the beginning of the rebirth of souls in the constellation Leo, the birth of a soul in the constellation Aries and the birth of a soul living in the Sun, in the constellation Taurus, these dates are determined and with the help of a program and checked by sorting through all the dates. The same dates are recorded in the temples of Dendera and Esna.

      Osiris was associated with the 3 belt stars of Orion, and his brother Seth with the Sword of Orion, Orion was known as Sah, "Sahu the Hidden One", in Sumerian, 'sah' means "Pig", 'sahu' means "Boar", as both Seth and Osiris was associated with the Boar. The wife of Seth was Taweret, the hippo/lion/crocodile goddess of Rebirth, also known as Reret "The Sow", associated with Draco. In Sumerian star mythology, the dying and rising god of healing was Damu "The Child", known as the Swine and the Pig, associated with the head of Draco, which was the Seed Cup hanging on plow handle. Taweret's epithets "Lady of Heaven", "Mistress of the Horizon", "She Who Removes Water", "Mistress of Pure Water", and "Lady of the Birth House". She being "Mistress of the Horizon", she holds Seth down on the western horizon for Horus to amputate his leg, went to high up his thigh, clipped off his rooster, where it fell to his feet, no longer a Rooster at the foot of Orion, but a Rabbit (Lepus). That is not a Sword below his belt, but a Waterfall of his blood, where at the tip you find the Bright One Hatysa, in Sanskrit, Hatya means Slaughter, Gohatya means Cow Slaughter, but hiding in Hatysa is Haya, meaning Grain or Seed in Sumerian, Haya is the god of Scribes, known as the Door-Keeper, his wife is Nisaba, goddess of Grain, the star Spica in Virgo, known also as The Furrow, created by a plough for planting seed. When placing Hatysa on the western horizon, it turn Orion's Sword into a Ploughshare, seeding Gaia with his Haya, or is he watering Gaia with his Haya. After Horus amputated his leg, Taweret chained it to the Pole Star, The Thigh of the Bull's Leg "Seth" would be the 7 stars of the Big Dipper, part of Ursa Major, where in Sumerian, "Ur" means Dog or even Wolf, that is what you see next to Taweret on star map, a Standing Wolf riding a Plow, which is the hieroglyph for Wepwawet, the wolf headed war god, son of Seth, and brother of Anubis. "sa" of Ursa means Red, the color associated with Seth, Ursa would be Red Dog (Wolf), but in Egyptian the "SA" hieroglyph means 'protection' or 'lifesaver', and you see "sa" at the end of Hatysa, read backwards in Hebrew, 'yasa' means "Savior", 'hata' means "to sin", meaning "Savior of Sinners". the "SA" hieroglyph is seen next to Taweret's right leg (Thigh). The Great Bear Ursa Major has a right leg too, at the bottom, the Twin stars Alula, meaning Firstborn, and whenever Alula is at midheaven, you find Hatysa sitting on the western horizon. The Sumerian word for Bear is Dimshah, the "shah is "sah" (pig), and 'dim' means post, pillar, pole and or binding, knot, bond. The ancient Greeks called Polaris "The Dog's Tail". I hope you know, Bears do not have long tails. Horus is the upper part of Orion, holding the rooster of Seth in his hand, pointing to the Sun on the day of the Summe5r Solstice, seeding it with his Haya. The Silver Gate of Man is found between Gemini and Taurus, Orion's Club is in the center, "mas", "mash" or Mashu means Twins, or Two/half and Goat, as Shamash is Utu the Sun god, sha and sah are the same in Sumerian. The She Goat star Vega was known as Bau-Gula, goddess of Dogs, mother of Damu, Bau-Gula is the wife of Pabilsag, means Chief Ancestor, who we call Sagittarius, behind Sagittarius, is the center of our galaxy, where they say is the Black Hole that gave birth to the stars of the Milky Way Galaxy, the stars they called Gods, and this area The Golden Gate of the Gods. On the day of the Winter Solstice, you find the Sun next to the little blood red spot Spiculum means Spear, known as the Lagoon Nebula, found in Sagittarius, in astrology the Hips and Thighs. the wife of Pabilsag, Bau-Gula was known as the first physician they know what a Speculum is, it goes into the woman, where babies come out, ha ha ha, a Lagoon is a body of water, the Winer Solstice is when the Sun crosses the Lagoon Nebula, a body of water, when the Sun (Son) stops moving (dies) on the southern horizon (Cross) for 3 days. This is where you can find Alula at midheaven, and Hatysa on the western horizon, 9 months 7 hours later, Alula is back at midheaven and Hatysa back on the horizon, it takes Alula 7 hours to fall from midheaven to the horizon, replaced at midheaven by Vega, the She Goat, Bau-Gula. In order for you to understand all of this you need to know Biology, when the heart of the fetus takes it's first beat, at the end of the first 3 weeks, so move the sun back 3 weeks from Christmas day, than forwards 9 months 7 hours, the month is September, but the sun is still in Leo. September 4th thru 8th 2040 is when all the visible planets align with Spica, the Hand star in Virgo, looking like a Sword, or even a Spear, the September 8th is the birthday of Mary. Not Aries the Ram, but a Goat, and Taurus the Bull and Leo the Lion is there too, I hope you know, those are not Dates, they are zodiac signs. Do you think that you can debate me, prove me wrong, or is YT going to come to your rescue, and delete my comments like they did the last time we spoke, about 2 weeks ago. ha ha ha

    This one made me take note about taking too long of a detour as I’m starting to forget parts of a system I plan to use. Big fan, but not the music. 🤭 seriously playing.. nah, it’s just not a style I like, I was shocked it’s described as “dark pop”. The only thing close to that I like is My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, but the part I’m starting to forget that aligns with that is… Gemini ascendant, the virgo area will be extremely important being tied. I’m pretty sure there’s a Capricorn tie also, so 8th house. Interestingly, a 12th that flows to the 10th. You’d also use those together like virgo tied to libra, mars in libra.. dark “pop” is probably linked to the Venus in Leo. It almost makes me want to actually listen to the music to see if a ways mars in libra is expressing is a sarcasm. I’m in a bit of a pause as I’m waiting to see how much emphasis on planets I’ll use outside of outcomes; I may need to actually look at charts. But, I found it interesting she described her music as “dark pop” and there’s a lot there that shows “yup”. That mars in libra is sexy (😆, natal), I trend to not like Leo 😆 (12th Leo sun merc) so that Venus..

  • @Cmrntylr
    @Cmrntylr 10 місяців тому

    I can’t remember if it was mentioned, but there’s a collection called Jung on Astrology. I’m still mad at Austin for bringing up aliens and diving into Jacques Vallee’s expansion on Jung’s writings on UFO’s. I’m not mad, it’s just going in weird directions. Right now I’m looking into celtic knots and seeing they can be used for astrological aspects and possibly more. The triquetra is a big symbol in celtic that’s extremely broad, a difference is.. it represents the trine and triplicity, 3 was common as a number representing the goddess as feminine creativity. Within the triquetra is the triple vesicae piscis (itchthys symbolism). In that, the trine may be more symbolized as Venus. But, factor in the association with pisces as the domicile of Jupiter and exaltation of Venus. But you often see triple goddess as symbolizing 3 topics as part of a larger whole. The Morrigan are often associated with the Triskelion, the Morrigan are very similar to the Greek Moirai. That symbol is often the life, death, rebirth cycle. The triquetra is also a symbol of this, but it has to be factored in it’s also a symbol of of the female anatomy. (Keeping it PG). It does make Christian attachment to the trinity and the cross funny, but that’s another subject. It gets fun, you may wonder if the Morrigan aligns with the 12th, 4th, and 8th houses.. to be honest, another common “on topic” comments: just as Jung was hijacked by the new age movement; this has the exact same problem which makes it hard to navigate. What Jung said about virgo and Leo was quite hilarious.. PS: I suppose the symbolism of the Morrigan archetype is the the raven by Poe. 4/8/12, I’m leaning towards that trine.

    I was finishing up some things with sign sympathies, I had a “duh” moment when I went to reference Anthology to notice Valens is describing the signs by the ascendant. I knew he mentioned it, I just didn’t quite get the entire description was the totality of the whole ascendant. That makes the system easier to apply since Valens appears to be using it (sign sympathies) in his interpretations. I took “born under” as an inclusion, not the entire sign only being interpreted as the natal ascendant. Virgo’s are barren, Saturn 5th. Libras diminish estates.. Saturn 4th. Vocal, Sagittarius 3rd. It feels worse to notice it half asleep. I’m not using the “command/obey” system. I’m not a flat earther. See-watch. Command/obey = mirror.

    Hi. Can you please made videos about the characteristics of signs according the Egyptians and all the cultures that works with astrology?. Especially about Gemini why in the Dendera representation is a pointing finger?, because is characteristic is to communicate, he must see and pointing it?. I'm curious about it because my astrology teacher hates, despite, Gemini like, if someone of her past hurt her, and I'm like if a German Shepard bites me all German Shepards are devil then?. I have heard bad things about Scorpio and in that class I almost was the only one participating like, I already know it, it's like we'll thats my mars and a lot that the teacher says was in me, plus the others suff in my chart that balance me. So I see different Scorpio now, the problem is the immature characteristics on the signs that make a lot of noise and Scorpio is not the only one, Capricorn, leo, etc. And on internet Gemini gets a lot of hate, and my teacher. And I heard an astrologer saying that Jesus must born in the summer could be Gemini or leo, with all the planets in domicile. The three wise men know this they tell herodes about it and the rest is history. So, please specifications about the signs cocould be very interesting if there's something that is not tell now.

    with their knowledge of metaphysics I would have been surprised if they Egyptians didn’t know the Zodiac. Astrology is a simulation of the healing energies that are coming in from the warping of space time by massive objects. Khaos Magic is when you apply it all the way with the New Moon 🌑 included. We don’t have free will our bodies only act according to your vibe and how self aware you are of your consciousness: Id - sun sign Ego - rising sign Superego - moon sign Indigenous Pagans like myself have interesting sacred abilities like manifesting our cultures back from Astrology. Ties into any culture that has the ability to make prophecies.
