Positions of natal planets are facts, unchangeable like the color of your skin. First chakra is about bones, family and place of birth representing material personal level. All of this should be root support, similar to the first chakra. However, this is often not the case.
In natal chart, Pluto in sign, house, its ruler and aspects weave your karmic story. Pluto is the point where we unconsciously strive to have power for the sake of emotional security. Problems arise when we do not know how to achieve safety without acting unconsciously. If Pluto has many aspects, if it is retrograde and aspects South Node it will give an idea of Soul’s lessons.
As an astrologer, I always try to explain transiting cycles you are in and what is asked of you to learn. However, transit cannot give answers on what exactly will happen. Your energy is constantly moving. You affect transits even more than they affect you.
Karma has always fascinated me as well as individual evolution and personal development. Do we keep repeating the same mistakes or did we overcome karmic tests? This is one of the questions to which karmic astrology offers an answer and a path towards healing and liberation. That path is not always easy and depends on the spiritual growth of the individual.
Jupiter is in one sign for about a year. During that time, it is in one of the natal houses. If natal house is bigger or smaller, this will change transit duration. This varies for each individual. Meaning will also change whether there are planets in the house where transit is. Impact varies depending on whether there are aspects to other natal planets with transiting Jupiter, too. We have to connect all this with the sign of transiting Jupiter, but also with natal Jupiter. For anything to happen it is necessary to have at least three of the same factors. Just transiting Jupiter is not enough.
There is no good or bad natal chart. It is that your actions lead to bad or good manifestations in a certain context. Man has free will, but its use has consequences and that is what creates life. Somebody may have “good aspects” at birth, but turn them into “hell” during life.
Our environment will always show us what we have failed to do, where we have not done enough and what is within ourselves still not good enough to pass the Saturn’s test. For this reason, external circumstances, and as long as we blame them for the situations in our lives, are only the context necessary to learn the essential lessons of life. As soon as we learn to accept our circumstances and open up to embrace them even when they are painful we are being offered a chance to evolve.
Retrograde planets are energetically experienced as slower and more dense energy. There is a tendency towards bringing us back to the past. Still, going back is good. People are on a daily basis constantly chasing something, often thinking they can be faster than life. But until we complete what we have started in the past, we cannot manifest something new. Fighting with the odds, detached from nature, removed from the essence of life-we are left defeated.
Lunar nodes teach us important life lessons and their integration goes wider then this incarnation. It is about the energy at the soul level. South Node is what we have developed so far, through multiple lives or during the early years of this life. North Node is what we are learning to integrate by finding our life purpose and learning our spiritual lessons.
Consciousness, a sense of connection to the Universe and the important life lessons we learn in this life are seen through aspects of the nodes with the natal planets. Especially if in contact with the ruler of the ascendant, when the person through his energy also changes the lives of the people around him. However, the rule is that we most often experience natal aspects in contact with others until we learn to ‘work’ with them.
