CosmiTec's Love Letter, Issue #077 -- Asteroids In Synastry April 21, 2011 |
| Dear Repeatedly, readers of our Love Letter have asked us to write something about the Asteroids in matters of love. While we're still investigating this topic, we below give our first and brief thoughts about Asteroids in synastry. Finding the core meaning of an Asteroid is not easy at all and you will find that the Asteroid meanings stil differ among lots of astrologers. ******************************************** Table of ContentsOur regular features

Love Forecasts for May 2011Venus at 11° Aries opposes Saturn at 11° Libra around the 1st of May. This is a bummer and your love life cools off. Saturn restricts your commitments in all your relationships. Love is lived at a distance and you are separated from a beloved one. In some cases, travel or a change of the residence is the cause.However, some of you may feel the wall or mask/facade that others build or show and through which you can't look. This may denote a frustrating time. This is not a time for love but for taking responsbilities. You may feel alone and even lonely. Expect financial hurdles and restrictions too. You better don't spend too much money now and better be conservative. Hesitation and reluctancy are part of the day's energies if you are born around January 2-3, April 2-3, July 4-5 or October 5-6. Around the same day of May 1, Mars conjuncts Jupiter at 22° Aries favoring taking action. You can make your point clear and get the word out. You tend to focus on education, propagation and getting things done. Progress is in the air. If you are born around January 6, February 19-20, April 5, May 21, July 7, August 23, October 8-9 or November 22-23, expect financial issues (or expenses) around May 3-4. There can be betrayal (theft?) or some disappointment regarding possessions or financial matters. For some of these birthdays, seduction is in the air and your fidelity may be questioned. Around May 9, Mercury and Venus conjoin at 22° Aries. Both planets together bring peace and fortunate agreements. If you want to sign any agreements, now is the time. Send love letters and messages of love to your beloved ones. Around May 11 there can be shocking news though, shaking your world. Around that day, Mars enters the earth sign Taurus while Mercury AND Venus together conjunct Jupiter at 24° Aries. Clearly, this day may bring a mixed bag of events -- some very auspicious ones and some terrible ones as well. The Mercury - Venus - Jupiter combo at 24° Aries is without a doubt a highly auspicious configuration that will affect you if you are born around January 15, February 13, March 15, April 15, May 16, June 16, July 17, August 18, October 18 or December 17. Your love life may prosper under this transit, you may receive nice comments or gifts all over, get money more easily and make wishes come true. Life is beautiful, you feel lucky and/or happy! However, for others, May 10-11 may prove to become a burden, especially on a material level because of Mars entering the most material and possessive zodiac sign Taurus. You want to fight for your goods and possessions as much as possible and don't want to give an inch. For the coming days, your focus is on your possessions and possible purchases/expenses. If you are born around December 29, February 11, March 28, May 13, June 29, August 15, October 1, November 15 or December 29, expect lots of tension and stress around May 13. You need to release tension and stress and show lots of resistance to outer forces and circumstances that try to force you in a certain direction you don't want to follow. In some cases, illness and separation is possible. In case you are born around this day of May 13, your whole (solar return) year is marked by tension and stress and trying to cope with it. Find an outlet to release the tension. Mercury and Venus both enter the fixed earth sign Taurus around May 16 as a couple, favoring the love life of all earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) for the next weeks. Aside from Mercury (and the Sun), the planets of love (Venus and Mars) now too reside in Taurus, making it a wondrous time to find love. May 17 is above all an artistic day on which you live more in your head than in reality. It's a day about longings, listening to music, shooting photos, meditation and travel (in the mind). It's likely that your mind is not so clear (it's playing tricks) and that your thinking is rather distorted. Your fantasy rules. This will be especially so if you are born around January 23, March 8, April 23, June 8, July 25, September 10, October 26 or December 10. Mercury and Mars conjoin at 7° Taurus around May 21. You're bold in the way you communicate (talking in bullets or keywords is quite common under this transit) and you don't want to spend many words saying what's on your mind or heart. Instead you go for action. The Sun enters mutable Gemini around May 21, bringing more "air" and movement to some heavy and earthy configurations. Because the Sun also squares Neptune around the same day, beware of disappointments, gossip or lies. Life may be chaotic and hectic with nervousness and many changes of the place. It's a good time for reclusion and meditation or to travel (alone) though, but be aware of some confusing moments. Venus and Mars are conjunct at 9° Taurus around May 23. It's an auspicious day to live your passions, the more so if you are born around January 29, March 15, April 30, June 16, August 2, September 18, November 2 or December 17. Around May 29, there is news about a separation. This can be anything ranging from travel to hospitalization or even death. It's a hectic, stressful day with lots of tension. You may try to resist what the Universe imposes upon you.

Asteroids In SynastryWe have not written a lot yet about the value of the Asteroids in chart comparison (synastry). In our May 21 2008 issue #042, we wrote about Juno in the natal chart.We're still researching the meaning of the most important Asteroids in synastry, but, beyond a doubt, the Asteroids do work. However, you don't need (and should not use) the Asteroids to find out if a relationship will work out or not. The Asteroids add some more detail and information to the analysis after you delineated the relationship in using the more common methods. So, we only recommend that you take the Asteroids into account after you have delineated the charts with the common methods and if you want some more "juicy details" about the relationship. Actually, we don't really recommend using the Asteroids if you are a beginner or novice astrologer because you will lose oversight and may miss the real core and basics of the relationship. Relationships are made (or broken) by analyzing the personal points (Ascendant, MC, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars) in different ways (aspect analysis, midpoint analysis, elemental analysis, degree areas etc.). Even the best positioned Juno will not bring a happy couple if there are disharmonious or hard exact Saturn inter-aspects to the personal points of the other partner or if there are detrimental midpoints between both. As far as our understanding goes by researching the Asteroids in synastry, the Asteroids rather describe (shared) events that the couple is likely to experience. It's less about what keeps the partners together as such. Some people think they need good Eros inter-aspects for a fulfilled sexual relationship and they focus on Eros without having analyzed the personal points in the chart comparison. That's erroneous thinking because the core of the relationship is built by the personal points and planets. Sexual compatibility does not depend on the Asteroid Eros (alone). What Asteroids can be used in the chart comparison? Actually, virtually every single Asteroid can be used on condition that you keep a very very tight orb. Never exceed 1° and the closer the aspect, the better. However, using 10,000+ Asteroids in a chart comparison has no significance, no merit, no value and should be avoided. If you want to give some value to the delineation, only use a very small number of pertinent Asteroids to begin with. If you study the Asteroids yourself, you will find lots of controversy in the meaning of Asteroids and that's also why we don't recommend a beginner to use the Asteroids to delineate the relationship. As long as it's not clear what the core meaning of the Asteroid is, it's best to not use them or only use the Asteroids for the purpose of research. If you really want to use Asteroids in synastry, we recommend using the following ones for a start, aside from the Name Asteroids of the involved persons:
Our own investigations are not conclusive and not ready for publication yet. We do have some thoughts however, that we want to share now. Regarding the Asteroid Juno we noticed that in some cases Juno is posited in the Sun sign of the partner to whom one is married. For example: in a female natal chart, we found Juno in the zodiac sign Scorpio. Her husband was a Scorpio. In the natal chart of her husband, we found Juno in Cancer; his wife was born under the zodiac sign Cancer. Though this configuration is not statistically significant, we found the connection between Juno and the zodiac sign of the partner confirmed in different other charts, which is remarkable anyway. Another inconclusive but remarkable finding of our research has to do with the conjunction (orb 1°) of a personal point in the natal chart of one partner (especially the Ascendant) to one of the above listed Asteroids in the chart of the other partner (in most cases we noticed this especially with Amor, Eros or Juno). We have long been searching the internet to find an ephemeris you can use to find the positions of the Asteroids we mentioned. Unfortunately, we did not find anything... That's why we used our Solar Fire software to generate an ephemeris that lists the positions of the Asteroids we recommend in synastry. In the following pdf-document (119 pages, about 4MB) we list all the positions from 1900 till 2050 in a weekly interval. Click here to download the Love Asteroids Ephemeris 1900 - 2050.
