at what you are doing.” Also at the same time the Sun has moved on Uranus which says
it’s time to open up to new options. Progressed Midheaven is just a shade over 14
Scorpio opposite progressed Jupiter—the potential for a crisis in faith, challenge &
change. The progressed Ascendant is up to 19 Capricorn quincunx Pluto and square
Neptune, quincunx Venus in the health house and quincunx Pluto. So we see a double
quincunx, a yod. So a major challenge in the personal functioning and in the health [she
was working two jobs, over-working]. That’s very often the case when we are totally
over-burdened and we have to slow down or be forced to stop, not do so much, take a
rest. And that’s often typical of the grand trine in earth, Mars in an earth house, Sun in an
earth house. This is the identification with “I’ve got to do it!” and we have to learn the
limits of what one person can do, know when to stop. That double quincunx and Pluto
square to Neptune at the same time can be a very effective stopper.
[response to question:] Progressed Moon on the nodes are very important in
relationships. You will find most of the time aspects to the nodes when there are changes
in relationships, and often the aspects will be from the Moon. You find that even with
fairly minor aspects, like kids growing up and leaving home to go away to college,
changes in your close family involvements—the people who are emotionally important to
you. Some of the charts we’ve looked at where we’ve had the Moon on the node, there
has been this very intense & important relationship with the mother and often a magnetic
power over the public. There’s an emotional intensity there that reaches people and grips
them.
[response to question on transits:] I look at everything in life as providing a result
of our own character. We don’t create the “out there” but our life-character puts us where
we fit in the “out there.” If we have an earthquake character, we go find an earthquake! If
we have a volcano character, we sit near a volcano! If we have a harmony character we
go where there’s harmony and we experience harmony around us. Transits have
relevance in the same way that everything else has relevance. They are a mirror to show
what the opportunities and challenges are. But if we are in harmony with ourselves, then
we can handle any of the transits, no matter what they’re doing. We don’t have to be
upset by them. It’s the assumption that something is bound to be bad or bound to be good
that I find absolutely wrong when I look at charts and look at people’s lives [e.g., people
with “heavy” Saturn transits or progressions dealing with them successfully and
productively and realistically]. I think all systems are symbolic. Progressions are more
like a slow-motion photograph where we can see the details more clearly. They give you
the angles which are the major and important key or tool that you generally don’t get with
transits.
With one client’s chart, I noticed that his progressed Midheaven had gone over
Vesta for two years. He was finishing the aspect when I saw him. And I said, “What
happened during those two years?” He looked at me funny and said, “That’s really
strange. I’ve been on this pretty heavy sex kick [he was a really strong Scorpio-Leo
person] and for those two years I became a celibate. I just cut it out and I never knew
why. I really didn’t make any conscious decision. I just stopped for two years.” And of
course he got over it—back to normal now! The Midheaven is the potential for selfdiscipline
and control & responsibility—the Capricorn principle you’re dealing with
power in the world. And normally Midheaven on Vesta would put a major focus into the
focus, and they might, in order to put all this energy into the work, cut off their personal
