Secondary Progressions - The Real Astrology Academy. Susan Asks:“How does the way my inner life changes result in changes in my progressed chart? I can’t imagine the planets changing to accommodate me, but evidently, if my spiritual and/or emotional perspectives shift, the progressed chart changes accordingly. I don’t understand. I hope you can explain this.” Kevin Answers, Susan, Secondary progressions are one of the more popular methods of prediction in astrology. So what the heck is a progressed chart, anyway? Now, up until recently, I didn’t do much work with progressions because, frankly, they didn’t seem too exciting.

One of the big questions when working with progressions is how do the houses change? Using the Quotidian method, however, we get to see some real action. When working with Quotidian Progressions, I encourage you to use the Koch houses, and to pay very close attention to the intermediate house cusps‑they are as important as the angles.

The Tropical and Sidereal Zodiacs: A Discussion. Dame Astrology October, 2002 Return to Home Page, Links to More Papers The Tropical (Western) and Sidereal (Eastern) Zodiacs A Discussion Introduction Unless they are astrologers, not many people know that two (at least, I know nothing about the zodiac used by, e.g., the Chinese) “different“ zodiacs are the basis of the two major forms of astrology being practiced in the world today. One, called the sidereal zodiac, is used, in general, in eastern countries, like India.

Herein it is referred to as “Eastern” astrology. The other, called the tropical zodiac, is practiced in the Americas, Europe, Australia, and parts of Africa. They are using the same constellations to locate their signs. The same thing happens to all the planets in your chart--in the East, they drop back almost a whole sign. With both approaches the planets themselves retain the same aspects, that is, their relationship to each other remains the same. And if astrology is that flexible, how valid can it be?

Maturation of the “lens” through which you process experience. Many of us have read ad nauseum, the narrative of Saturn portrayed as the great malefic. We’ve been instructed to brace ourselves and fear the worst, and consider it to be a victory if we evade its evil rays until major transits involving the planet pass. Taking ownership of and responsibility for the filter through which we perceive and process our experiences isn’t a job for the faint of heart. If you’re a person who regularly veers toward the path of least resistance, or what will demand the LEAST out of you then you may find Saturn’s transits to be sharply difficult and demanding. However, if you’re looking to stretch yourself, suspending the comfortable for the developmental and what might or could be for what IS, you have a sturdy and reliable cosmic partner to work with.

This transit qualifies as a test of endurance. References:

Writing. Interesting Stuff. Nigeria & Yoruba. Culture. Social topics. Bible. Teleology. A teleology (from Ancient Greek telos, meaning roughly "end" or "purpose",[1] and -logia, meaning "study of, discourse") is an account of a given thing's end or purpose. For instance, we might give a teleological account of why forks have prongs by showing their purpose—how the design helps humans to eat certain foods. Stabbing food and helping humans eat is what forks are for. There are two kinds of telos or end. The purpose or telos of a fork is extrinsic or imposed on it by the user.[2] The notion of natural teleology is that natural entities have intrinsic teloi or ends, irrespective of human use or opinion. For instance, Aristotle held that an acorn's intrinsic telos is to become a fully grown oak tree.[3] Though ancient atomists rejected the notion of natural teleology, teleological accounts of non-personal or non-human nature were explored and often endorsed in ancient and medieval philosophies, but fell into disfavor during the modern era (1600-1900).

In Greek, ennea means nine and gramma means point. Each point portrays a distinctive personality style that has its own way of viewing, construing, and responding to people and events. Each style has both adaptive or resourceful and non-adaptive or non-resourceful cognitive, emotional, and behavioral strategies for self-maintenance and enhancement, for interpersonal relating, and for problem solving. Within all of us, there are certain universal qualities that express the essence of the human person.

Jupiter Trines Chiron: The Shaman And The Priest - Pandora Astrology. Jupiter and Chiron have met at the Edge of the World. It’s a misty place where the physical world meets the metaphysical one.

Some of the passageways you already know about are there, such as the wardrobe that leads to Narnia, Dr. Who’s tardis and other magical entry-points. Jupiter is wearing the long, flowing robes of a priest of no particular denomination—he looks like he could lead a dharma talk or deliver a sermon. Chiron is wearing nothing but a piece of cloth wrapped around his middle, and carrying a staff with a fearsome creature’s face atop it—perhaps a totem animal, the face of an ancestor, or a defeated enemy’s head.

Rosas Danst Rosas | Dance review | Stage. The Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker launched her company, Rosas, in 1983, and won immediate attention for her musicality and her austere, pure dance minimalism. Fase, her first piece, used repetition to almost hallucinatory effect, as she and another female dancer whirled and spun in interlocking patterns to a shimmering score by Steve Reich. Fase was followed the same year by Rosas Danst Rosas, which applied the same repetitive, minimalist style to music by Thierry de May and Peter Vermeersch. De Keersmaeker and her company have revived both pieces many times in the quarter century since their creation, but Rosas Danst Rosas remains the more confrontational of the two, retaining its considerable power to baffle, frustrate and intrigue. The piece starts with four female dancers, one of them De Keersmaeker, lying on the stage. They are serious-looking women with civilian haircuts, wearing loose grey tops and skirts and hideous, brown, utilitarian shoes.

Reviving De Keersmaeker’s ‘Rosas Danst Rosas’ - Review. DURHAM, N.C. — Rosas is the name of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s company, which she started in Brussels in 1983. The title of its inaugural work, “Rosas Danst Rosas,” suggested a kind of manifesto: this is what we are; this is what we do. That uncompromising sensibility is still clear, almost 30 years and a famous career later. The revival of “Rosas Danst Rosas,” which opened on Friday night at the Reynolds Industries Theater at Duke University, in Durham, N.C., as part of the American Dance Festival, reminds us why this work immediately established Ms.

De Keersmaeker as a new force on the European contemporary dance scene. It hasn’t lost anything of its original power. Riveting and exhausting, fascinating and relentless, brilliant and tedious, it is a mesmerizing exploration of synchronicity, patterning and rhythm. “Rosas,” in which Ms. The piece opens with driving and increasing mechanical noise, like a giant sewing machine about to chew up the theater.

My efforts are crowned by small successes that make me very happy. Ah, what wouldn't I do to please Maman and Papa. I don't like the piano, but if it's Maman who gives me my lesson, then I go at it with a great deal of pleasure.

Maman sings, which makes me very sad because I remember when Papa accompanied her, and then I think of Brussels and the war. Today I fought against it but I am seized by a desire to become a nurse or something that would take me to France. I would like to be a man so that I could bear arms.

By Maria Popova I was a relative latecomer to the work of Oliver Sacks (July 9, 1933–August 30, 2015), that great enchanter of storytelling who spent his life bridging science and the human spirit — partly because I was not yet born when he first bewitched the reading public with his writing, and partly because those early books never made it past the Iron Curtain and into the Bulgaria of my childhood. It was only in my twenties, having made my way to America, that I fell in love with Dr. Sacks’s writing and the mind from which it sprang — a mind absolutely magnificent, buoyed by a full heart and a radiant spirit.

His intellectual elegance bowled me over, and I felt a strange kinship with many of his peculiarities, from the youthful affair with iron — although the 300-pound squats of my bodybuilding days paled before his 600 pounds, which set a state record and earned him the moniker Dr. Squat — to our shared love of Beethoven and Mendelssohn.
