Today doing a Chart Keys reading, I noticed an unusual, challenging transit pattern happening now in mid-1950s charts. It may help explain a few things. It's all about the deep quest for meaning.
Great reading, one of your best. Thank you! I loved the Bucky Fuller reading, and this was another step. My chart is 10 days after this one (October 10, 1956) where also Mercury is in the mix at 29 and the Moon at 0) but mainly as you describe in the Bucky Fuller reading, the nodes are at 29 deg Scorpio-Taurus (conjunct Saturn square Pluto—there again, as I write, but reversed). But what really got me, really, was the discussion of Eris. We have an 18-year-old whose Iphone is attached almost as a physical part of his body. He lives—lives—in digital, as do his friends. Thank you, again! PS: My response to this transit is writing —as much as possible as honest journaling—and I’m doing it on paper, not typing on a screen, not that that matters so much, but like you I draw figures on charts. ( When I started doing charts, I calculated by hand with the Table of Houses, Time Changes in the US, and my Rosicrucian ephemerides) Now I like to put in the minor planets, thanks to you. Your Chart Key readings, by the way, are your most unique—and possibly best—stand alone service. ❤️🙏
I am so glad I listened to this - you gave enticing reasons for all I am going through and have been since late 2022. I felt like God slapped me in the head to "wake up" and what followed has been an excruciating and enlightening life review coupled with a very hands on approach (not digital) to find a way to proceed all based on a return to the religion I was originally exposed to, not the one I converted to in my early 40's. As I wait for your interpretation of my chart request, this recording has offered up, thankfully, many answers. The gifts you share are multi-faceted and I hope you know how valuable they are.
This does hit many key points for me, born at the tail end (December) of 1957. Where to begin? I flash to a quote attributed to Goethe" "Do not hurrry; do not rest". It hung on the wall of my evil x's office, a boomer born in 1953. While I tried to raise the kids, he sat out there or sometimes slept, having fallen to the floor in a drunken stupor. I would like to say that I don't generally write personal things on the digital, unless they are couched in hidden language. But I like the idea of unraveling some of this astrology, as it pertains to my ilk. My mixed experiences in search of inner peace and the "never hurry" narrative (ha - not meant for me, now I know that), slogged me across many new age swamps, from Omega, to Steiner mystery schools, in and out of Sikh guru meditation which I could never master (no pun intended), but never extinguishing my gushing poet-musician brain. As a single mother trying to do all of the above, I certainly could "never rest". Now I could say other things about where I sit, or stand or run, right now. The more I feel the pressure to finally relax into something resembling "a good life", the more I squirm. I've found myself, however, a wonderful back porch to ruminate from, often with a smoke, and a fermented beverage. Then each day it's off to the races again. Can't catch up with myself, can't stop manifesting creative projects, in quantity. I am restless, and digital, which I have mastered beyond most of my friends, as I run websites and a recording studio and a blog, with social media satellites, is almost too much to bear, now. I want to read books again, clip grass with scissors, and just be, if ever such a state of simplicity were possible. In my spare time, I read maps compulsively, especially about places I can't get to.
As one born in 1956 I found this to be most revealing. After an extremely trying second Saturn Return, it has been quite evident that things will never be the same. And of course 2020 to present has certainly enforced that for us all.
Hearing about this client that could not define what was troubling them is certainly relatable. Ol' Neptune can be a real trickster when you're not willing to open the many doors of the subconscious. At least for me.
Thanks for this perceptive discussion Eric. I really enjoyed this.
This is a pretty dense reading. The things that ring true for me, as somebody who has recently experienced transiting Pluto square natal Neptune, are the struggle to cope with the existential void, the desire to change consciousness through substances, seeking a spiritual path, finding transcendence through music, contemplating the new digital world order, preparing for death. Woot.
Thank you! As a Hermit (9) who is active and content to live in the Foundry of the Soul, I appreciate the extra encouragement to actually make moves on the issues that self reflection, and your reflections, bring to light. Peace and Wonder to you!
