Chart Request For Thunder

[Thunder]

It has taken quite a while but I finally found out what time of day I was born.

I would very much appreciate a Natal Chart (if that is the right name for it). And if it is not too much trouble, has anything shifted beginning about April of 2000? It has been quite a ride since then.

1. Date of birth - January 26, 1954

2. Time of birth - 0800 (8 AM)

3. Location of birth - Yonkers, New York, USA

Thank you all so much.

If i see your chart, you have an 21 dg 03' Aqua Rising
Am i Right?

You're a double Aqua, Sun & Rising
But there's a lot to you that people don't see
You're very oriented towards the spiritual, you like to have a few secrets and aren't so open and blunt may be as the 'average' Aquarius...

You have Aqua Rising, so chart rulers are Uranus & Saturn
Uranus is in 5, almost in 6...
Someone's chart ruler in 5, can make him/ her a party animal and a romantic
6 workaholic
But it's in an Uranian way, so it happens all in a sudden, eccentric, not conventional way... And Uranus is in Cancer, so may be your family is a little odd beat too or you create a not normal family and Cancer adds a bit more instability to the Uranian stuff...
Saturn is in 8 in Scorpio
A chart ruler in 8 makes people research things, and they don't like superficiality. They want to dig out everything, want to know everything
In Scorpio, research will go about sexual stuff, death, taboo subjects...

Fixed and Cardinal are your main elements... mutable isn't represented a lot, so may be you have problems with flexibilty, adjustment...
But you have a Libra Moon, so somewhere you are a people pleaser but sometimes forgetting what you really want yourself...
You are someone with a lot of determination...
And relations... you go deep, no doubt about it... but you can be prone to desillusions in sexual matters (moon conjunct neptune in 8 in libra) caused by unpredictable, unreliable partners (moon conjunct neptune square Uranus)
Your SO (`s) could have a very jealous trait, but could also be able to transform your life (Pluto in 7 on the DC)

I'll get back to you

Thank you very much. I am new at this so I don't fully understand all that you wrote. But I am working on it.

Any other information you can provide will be deeply appreciated.

You have your Sun (self) and Ascendant (outer personality) in Aquarius and your Moon (emotions) in Libra. These are all Air signs, so share a lot in common; in fact this is a very airy chart. Air is all about mental things – thoughts, ideas, words, intellectual puzzles, etc. What it’s not very big on is emotions or being grounded. A frivolous attitude towards rules, traditions and life in general may get you in trouble from time to time. You can easily get caught up in an idea and before you know it, hours have passed. You have a fabulous ability to focus, but only as long as you are interested in whatever you’re working on. Once you’re bored with something, it would take an act of God to force you to work on it again. Your motto in such matters might be “if it’s not fun, why do it?” You leave a trail of half-finished projects scattered behind you like breadcrumbs. When this much Air shows up in a chart it’s like having a gust of wind inside you - powerful and forceful, but with a lack of regularity and often subject to sudden direction changes. This habit of being uncommitted and free to move around may cause trouble in your relationships, especially since Air energy is not comfortable with emotions. Not to say you’d run screaming away at the first sign of genuine feeling, but you probably get that squirming sensation in your stomach when people around you get overly demonstrative. On occasion, your mind may be overpowered by such deep emotional eruptions; to keep your balance, seek peace, quiet and seclusion. Strangely enough, marriage is very important to you; though it is likely it will take a lot of time before you settle down. Marriage (or another serious relationship) may even be what sets off major transformations in your life. There could even be a secret affair or a partnership you feel you need to hide along the way. You have a wide circle of friends, but you keep them at arms length most of the time. Nobody gets too close and you may even be a bit shy with that crowded 12th house (unconscious mind, need for privacy) in your chart. But they all learn quickly that you’re the person to go to when they need an inventive idea or a non-judgmental and open-minded person to talk to. Your outlook is broad and tolerant, and you are very forgiving of others for their errors and you hope they will be forgiving of yours.

You say you’ve been having troubles since April of 2000? That’s quite a few years to be under major stress. Most of the planets move fast enough that only the outermost (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Chiron) would stay in place for that long so I’ll be focusing on them. Pluto’s been in Sagittarius that long, but also for at least 10 years before that, so while he’s been active in your chart; it’s not been anything remarkable. But, almost certainly your Chiron Return in early 2004 set you for a loop. That is the time when transiting Chiron returns to the position of your natal Chiron. If you had not already done so, you now began to think about your life in terms of your past achievements and what will come in the future. In particular you may have started questioning your own death and how you are going to live the rest of your life. It’s like another mid-life crisis, only on a deeper, spiritual level. (Keep your eyes open for the year you turn 58 – these themes may likely repeat in your second Saturn Return.) Since your Chiron issues revolve around control – either being compulsively structured, or as I suspect in your case, often being the opposite – those were in the most focus. It may be related to having a control freak for a parent, especially if they were very smart and wanted to make sure everyone knew it (Jupiter in Gemini, 4th house).

I also see that Neptune (deep subconscious stuff) and Uranus (radical change) have been slowly sneaking up on your Ascendant via your 12th house over the last few years. I had said before that the 12th is like the subconscious mind in many ways. I call it the ‘karmic dumpster’, and it’s where we shove all the stuff we don’t want the world (including us!) to see or know of. This could range from having a hobby where you build computers for fun, to one where you secretly do so in order to take over the world in retaliation. Yes, it’s a bit flippant, but the idea remains of keeping stuff inside that really should be dealt with. (Don’t worry – we all do it.) However with you having a heavily populated 12th house natally, it’s like a big neon sign when anything transits through there. And you’re the little bug that’s caught in the deadly dance, getting zapped. “No, no don’t drag this stuff out into the light!” you may be saying, but it’ll come up whether you want it or not. Uranus passing over your AC in 2003-ish raises issues of changing your very personality, especially on an outer level. You probably did/went through some things that were outside your normal comfort zone, but don’t let that scare you. Uranus transits may seem shocking, but they *always* leave you in a better place then before they stopped by.

Uranus has moved along, but slow-moving Neptune is still in your 12th house and will be for about the next decade. He won’t act in a sudden, dramatic way, but more in the slow up-welling of issues. Please, don’t take this to mean things will continue on a negative path for you. Every one of us has fabulous opportunities when an outer planet makes important transits. We can choose to either work positively with the energy or negatively fight it. The latter are those who feel the worst effects, for outer planet transits do not yield, so the harder you push away, the harder they push back. You have the opportunity to come to terms with things in your life, perhaps for the first time. Declare a truce (or even just a cease-fire) with your subconscious and work on achieving mental and emotional well-being. Check out things like mysticism, spirituality and depth psychology. Or even find a way to give back to the community through a large charitable organization. Consider spending as much time taking care of yourself as you do of others. (Shocking, I know.) Get plenty of sleep for one. You may get tired or overloaded far too easily. This a time during which you could accomplish a lot through sheer discipline. You may find yourself turning out any emotional nooks and working with your feelings a lot. (Just don't push too hard.) Hang in there – while it’s not an easy ride, if you keep your head up and focus as much as you can on what could go right, your attitude will make you *feel* better about it all.

Thank you also... I am having a friend who understands this all better than I explain it to me. I do appreciate all of you efforts. Thanks again.

thunder ...

attached is a chart with your natal scope and the 30 april 2K transits ...

in april of 2000 you were experiencing two major transits that hit me ... the first would have been the 'finishing up' of your second saturn opposition, and the second would have been the transit of uranus over your ascendent. likely the latter was the most significant "event" that would have occurred at the end of april, beginning of may ... depending on the accuracy of your birth time. straight up 0800, is kind of unusual, but if that is indeed accurate, so the dates i would have you reflect upon would be april 29-may 2, 2000. i always recommend looking at old date books and the like if you do not keep a journal, to help 'jog' your memory. from looking at the other transits happening, i would say that it was likely 'work' related, e.g., pluto/chiron transiting the 10th, NN in the 6th, and then the stellium of the sun, saturn & jupiter along with mars were in the 3rd house. (the 10th house relates to, in general, a 'career', while the 6th house relates to 'work', and the 3rd is often the house of education and early conditioning that usually sets one off on the path toward their future career.)

to get back to the 'finishing of your second saturn return' ... that would relate to what you know now versus what you were taught. the 'clean-up' of the opposition really is helpful because it was a time when you could see disparity and truth in what you were taught at a very young age to believe to understand to be true, and the struggle with what you now know to be reality and true. the shedding of programmed truths is a product of the saturn opposition, especially as it would be affecting your life dealing with the 3rd and 9th houses. as you were in that 'clean-up' or 'finishing' of that opposition ... meaning, that the opposition had already happened, you already went through the process of looking at it and a couple of weeks later (as the opposition happened in feb/mar), you stand back and all the emotions and attachments kind of just fall away and you let go of having to "fight" what you knew and what you know ... what you were taught versus what you have learned ... that phase just after the opposition is a big release of attachments and the letting go part of the growth process.

at that same time, you experienced something energizing to you and how you present yourself or how you are perceived by the world. perhaps you shocked everyone and quit your job. perhaps you were shocked and got fired. your business partner got indicted for money laundering ... a myriad of things could have happened. obviously if something like that happened, you would know exactly what set the ball in motion and you are the in the process of what? trying to understand or regroup? find solid ground? presently, your focus of planets is in the 9th house and your MC, so you are truly trying to find the connection of your life with the bigger picture and higher ground.

BUT what happened in 2000 needn't necessarily have happened in the 'outside' world, it could have just happened inside your own head. you made a significant decision that refocused the direction of your life in a whole new direction, that may have been a conscious decision or an unconscious one (e.g., one of those many decisions we make in any given day that has a significance beyond what we could imagine), in which case you are still trying to source your present situation.

so, take a look at your old calendars or something from that time period that may recall some event if one is not readily coming to mind. sometimes it is something that may have happened that shocked you at the time but you didn't think it was that important ... kind of like a seemingly incidental plot event that doesn't come to play until the final scene of a movie, then you realize how simple that person being at the bar was really the source of the entire plot action.

i hope this helps you ...

Thank you BV
The chart is fantastic! I have shared it with a close friend who has some background in astrology (some = more than I do). Can anyone point me to some helpful links? I really would like to learn more.
