My Sister's Cat - We lost a family
member 7/30/2008. My sister's long time companion, Buchee
died of kidney failure. She was a beautiful tortise shell
colored female kitty that wandered into her yard 16 years
ago and was her closet friend ever after. We were all very
sad. The astrology midpoints were appropriate for the event
but it was just today that I had a chance to look at the
asteroids. This event took place two days before the
eclipse which was right on
Pluto in her chart. Eclipses will often set
something off just before or right after the eclipse
happens. In her chart, the asteroids Kitty
and vet conjunct Pluto. The day she
died, asteroid Kitty was exactly
square Pluto in her chart. She had taken her to the vet 3
days before for an intraveneous hydration and went to pick
her up but the Kitty was done. She lived probably 18 or more
years and had a good life with my sister but we will all
miss her.
Asteroid House - Asteroid House is
certainly one of my favorite little rocks. It is very
accurate in anything regarding real estate. I have a client
that does a lot of buying and selling of homes which she
improves for resale. She recently was in the process of
selling her home and buying a new one. Old transiting Saturn
was throwing a lot of blocks in the way but I was sure that
when House hit her hot spot, which is her
moon in the second house of money conjunct her natal
House, the sale would go through. And it did. Right
on the money.

Leg Cramps - It has been awhile since I have posted anything
but today I thought I would share this information. I occasionally
have been waking up with a cramp in my calf. The last time it
happened I looked to see what degrees of the chart indicated the
calf and it is 26 Sag which is where Pluto is currently
transiting. Today I looked to see what was setting this off and it
was a Mars transit as it was the last time. The asteroid
Hephaistos (leg injuries or pain) was transiting my
Saturn/Neptune midpoint (health issues) at the same time.
Transiting Jupiter/Uranus was also transiting this area and
in health matters it indicates pain that does not last very long.
Good thing because it sure hurt at the time.

A tale of two cars - There are several asteroids named after
cars. Honda and Mercedes are two while the classic one
is Phaeton. My son-in-law went on a weekend ski trip recently
and found himself with a truck that couldn't run and had to be towed
a hundred miles plus. Big trouble with the vehicle. The next morning
my daughter's car also ended up needed towing and off he went to
rescue her using mine. I couldn't help looking at the asteroids so
here they are. Honda and Phaeton were both aspecting his ASC. along
with the midpoint Mercury/Saturn which is not only the midpoint for
short journeys but also relates to trouble with vehicles. Transiting
Jupiter was aspecting this point too and although we tend to think
of Jupiter being a benefactor, it is also about being big and this
car trouble was big and expensive! The asteroid Mercedes was
aspecting his natal mars/Uranus midpoint, which is about sudden
accidents or occurrences coming as a complete surprise. His truck is
a Toyota with no known problems up to then and hers is an Audi. Both
supposedly sound reliable vehicles. Oh those pesky asteroids!
A long delayed citizenship - I have a friend who sat for his
citizenship test several years ago and after passing it has had the
frustration of the papers sitting on someone's desk with no action
to make his citizenship official and final. For over three years he
has been talking to everyone he could without any luck on finding
out why it was being held up and getting it finished. A couple of
days ago it finally came through for him. In his chart he has the
asteroids America, Justus (justice) and Karma all aspecting
each other. Transiting Uranus and Jupiter (sudden good luck, the
release of tension) came along and set them all off and this time
Jupiter was the benefactor. In transit, asteroid America was
aspecting his Moon (home) and his natal Mars which rules the 4th
house of home in his chart. One of the asteroids for Justice was
inconjunct (coming out of the blue) his ASC. while the other one was
aspecting his natal Venus which rules his MC. It was a good news
day!

An unexpected raise - The person in question had asked for a
raise several months ago and had pretty much resigned herself to not
getting it, particularly since the boss kept talking about how tight
money was. A few day ago, he called her and told her he had raised
her salary by another $9000 a year! She was very surprised and very
grateful too. Here are the asteroids for the day in her chart. The
name of the boss was on her part of fortune (in the 6th house of
work and daily activities) and on her relocated MC. Eureka,
Enterprise and Midas (sizable money) were also aspecting the MC.
The business is an alternative health clinic so the asteroids
Reiki (one of the asteroids we use for alternative health
practices in general), Hygiea (health practices) and House,
which indicates homes, clinics, galleries and other kinds of places
that house businesses, was aspecting the relocated MC. The two
asteroids for jobs are Vesta and Industria which were
aspecting her ASC. and MC respectively. Lastly we found one of the
asteroids indicating good luck and fortune, Felicitas
aspecting her Sun and relocated MC. This one had me at just the
boss's name aspecting her MC! This was a good one.

Charley horse - Last week I was sitting watching TV when
suddenly a charley horse in my right calf almost threw me right off
the couch, it was so intense. A little investigation uncovered the
Mars/Uranus midpoint and the asteroid "hephasistos" (leg
injuries or problems) both on the degree of the muscle of the calf
as indicated in the body parts chart from Cosmobiology. Mars was in
hard aspect to my MC. Although painful, it was another confirmation
of the accuracy of midpoints, asteroids and the Cosmobiology body
chart.
Elvis - My daughter, who one day may be the foremost
historian on Elvis Presley, had several boot legged CDs and a DVD on
Elvis given to her for her birthday last month. I had the sudden
urge to watch the DVD last night, which we did. I remarked that in
the scenes from the late 70's he looked like he had in a series of
dreams I had about him and his deplorable condition and his fans
still adoring him. These dreams were so realistic that I have never
forgotten them. We watched the DVD then listened to some of his CD's
and got a call from a friend that the educational/public TV was
running a special called Elvis lives, which we also watched. Elyse
suggested I look at my asteroids for the night. King, Eros
(love and passion) and Education were all on my ASC. The King
lives and the world is still passionate about him. The asteroids
Elvis, Amor and Aisleen (dreams) were on my natal Neptune
(Neptune rules entertainers and dreams) and my relocated ASC.
Asteroids in action!

Real Estate - I have been working with the asteroid House
for real estate matters for some time now as has my friend and
fellow astrologer Pat Munns. She has seen it play a significant part
in it's transits where real estate issues are concerned and so have
I. Yesterday, a member of my family and his wife signed the contract
for a lovely piece of land, with intentions of building a home on
it. The asteroid House was transiting his A/M midpoint and
her Moon in her 4th house of home. His solar directed asteroid
House is making a hard aspect to it's natal position which
aspects his Sun, Neptune and Venus, ruler of his ASC. Her Natal
asteroid House aspects her MC which is being triggered by
solar directed Uranus in her chart. This was a surprising and
unexpected move for both of them. Jupiter and Uranus are transiting
both of their A/M midpoints and brought this unexpected good luck to
them which is making them very happy.

Client Observations - I recently worked with a client who had
a couple of interesting asteroid connections in her chart. A series
of difficult transits and solar arc directed midpoints left her with
some hard knocks over the last year. Her husband got involved with
another woman and left her and her beloved dog died among other
events. Her mother is an astrologer but she wanted some insight from
someone who did not know her. Significant in her chart were the
asteroids Chaldea (for astrology) and Kassandra
(advice giving) on her Moon. Considering that the moon usually
represents the mother, I thought that was very appropriate. The
other significant signature was the asteroid Cerebus (dog) on
her ASC. and also Fidelity which this year was conjunct by
her Mars/Saturn midpoint. This is one of midpoints that will
indicate death literally or symbolically. In this case, it was
literally the death of her dog and symbolically the end of her
husband's fidelity.
New Years Eve Wedding - I was twice blessed this year with my
Daughter Elyse's wedding to Michael and recently with my son Nick to
Wendy on New Year's Eve day in Destin FL. The wedding took place in
a lovely little chapel and the reception was held at the incredible
house that they rented for the week for the family. It was four
stories of pure luxury right on a white sand beach! I have found
that name asteroids for places show up in our charts when we are
traveling somewhere so let's start with the asteroid for Florida
and the asteroid Destin. Florida fell on Nick's MC and
Wendy's S. Node. Destin fell on Nick's ASC. and Wendy's Sun
(which are conjunct). The asteroid Wendy fell on Wendy's
Venus and Nick's ASC. while asteroid Nicky fell on Nick's ASC.
and Wendy's MC. We had two love asteroids. Amor which fell on
Nick's Mercury which rules his house of marriage and on Wendy's
directed MC. Anteros (mutual love) fell on Nick's ASC. and
Wendy's Sun. Asteroid Church was on Nick's MC and Wendy's
Moon, while House was on Nick's ASC and Wendy's Sun. Asteroid Guests was on Nick's Moon and Wendy's Jupiter which rules her
ASC. Both asteroids for marriage were active. Juno aspecting
Nick's Venus (in his house of marriage) and Wendy's Venus, Sun and
ASC. Lada aspected Nick's Mercury (ruler of his marriage
house) and Wendy's ASC. and Jupiter. Asteroid Groom was on
Nick's Moon and Wendy's Jupiter. The asteroid for ocean is
Poseidon which aspected Nick's Mercury and Wendy's directed MC.
And to wind this up, the asteroid for good luck, Tyche was
aspecting Nick's Sun and Wendy's Moon. There you have it. Uncanny
isn't it?

From Kelly Conlogue- With no astrological knowledge,
Charlotte, my mother, booked her appointment with her lawyer. I was
familiar with electional astrology but agreed to take mom on the
date the lawyer happened to be available. Sure enough, I later
discovered that the exact Kelly & Charlotte conjunction
transited my natal Jupiter when mom signed her will and trust! I'm
the person named on her health care directive. What are the odds of
a random hit?

Grad School Acceptance - My daughter has just been accepted
to Grad School which is something she has wanted very badly and
which she did not get on her application to another school earlier
this year in spite of stellar academics and being a Phi Beta Kappa.
This time we had a winner! Here are the asteroids involved
astrologically. Academia was passing over the planet in her
chart that rules the 9th house of higher education and aspecting her
Moon in the sixth house of work and daily activities. Her purpose
for grad school is a career in School Psychology which will be her
daily routine once she graduates. The asteroid Education was
aspecting her ascendant. Her natal Sun is joined by natal asteroid
University and the transiting asteroids to them were Eros
(what we are passionate about), Fortuna for good
fortune and Klotho for new beginnings. Another asteroid for new
beginnings and successful enterprises, Ganesa, was transiting
her MC and the asteroid University was just 2 degrees to
conjuncting her ASC. Remember that the asteroids move very quickly
and are only in orb to anything in our charts for a day or so for
the most part, so they do tell the story as they dance through our
charts!
