Has anyone studied their natal with progressed Davison to see the development of relationships I'm looking to chat about it have been deeply studying it since 2019 even though I've read astrology over 20 years now

Pisces is not defined by delusion or illusion just because modern astrology assigns these traits to Neptune and, by extension, to Pisces.

Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, and its meaning comes from this rulership. It represents uncontained knowledge and divine wisdom, not deception or obscurity. Pisces is the ocean of the cosmos, which is the source from which all things emerge and dissolve.

It is boundless, not because it is vague or deceptive, but because it transcends rigid structures. Pisces does not distort reality; it perceives beyond surface appearances, understanding truths that are not always confined to logic or material form. Its wisdom is not an illusion but an openness to the infinite, an awareness that knowledge is not always linear or tangible. It is like knowing that there are countless things you don’t know with the understanding that you couldn’t possibly learn it all.

Pisces is said to rule the feet, not just as parts of the body but as symbols of our connection to the divine. In many religious traditions, the feet are seen as a point of contact between the sacred and the everyday. In Hinduism, for example, it is common for devotees to touch or kiss the feet of their gurus and deities. This simple act of respect shows humility and the desire to receive blessings. It is a practical way to acknowledge that the divine reaches us through these points of contact.

In Christianity and Judaism, the washing of the feet is another clear example. When Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, he demonstrated the importance of service and humility. This act was not about physical cleanliness alone but about showing care and respect for others, being willing to serve in that way. In both traditions, the symbolism of the feet reminds believers that the divine is present in everyday actions and that true understanding comes from recognizing this connection.

Jupiter’s influence in Sagittarius centers on the idea of surrendering to a teacher, guru, or higher authority, recognizing that true wisdom often comes from accepting guidance beyond what we can achieve alone. Sagittarius emphasizes learning from mentors, foreign cultures, and god. This sign embodies the journey of reaching for knowledge that transcends our own limited understanding.

In a similar way, Pisces represents the acceptance of wisdom that is not self-generated but received from a higher source. Rather than being defined by mystery or illusion, Pisces is about opening oneself up to truths that are greater than personal insight and personal impact. It is about finding unity through dissolution of boundaries.

By linking the role of Sagittarius in teaching us to surrender to a source of greater wisdom with the Piscean approach of receiving such wisdom, it becomes clear that Jupiter’s principles of expansion, mentorship, and divine knowledge align closely with the deeper essence of Pisces.

I just want people to recognize and appreciate the true significance of Pisces, as it is by far the most important sign, symbolizing the culmination of spiritual maturity and the space between life and death. It frustrates me to see it misrepresented as something negative or illusory.

Holy 8th house Batman. Thats all I have to say.

I'm watching a speaker talk on Nighlight Astrology and they are showing a different annual profections chart than what I've been using, which is from Kelly Surtees. The astrologer, Raimundo Leong, has 1 in the First House rather than 0. Is that an alternate that people use? It kind of changes everything.

What do you expect when Venus conjuncts Neptune together in Pisces to release final energy tomorrow before Venus gets into Aries on the 4th of February?

In Western Canada, Brazil, Eastern Africa, the Middle East, and the Korean Peninsula, I can expect to see a huge variety of water storms like hurricanes in these areas. What other things might happen knowing how everyone is going to embrace Pisces even though some are not born in that sign?

That different planets hitting Venus will shape what we find beautiful/ desirable and what we prefer aesthetically? For example someone with Venus aspect Saturn might prefer minimalism in their decorating whereas a Venus aspect Jupiter person might prefer maximalism. That's just a stereotypical example but hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say. It extends to things like music taste or clothing etc.

Diplomatic relationships in the world are about to be broken following Venus into Aries. What new bad things are we going to see with this Venus into Aries?

I’m interested in seeing if anyone has been able to unveil a consistent pattern for this. I have found a few things, but I’m still not able to predict it very well.

For example, strong Venus seems to be very common among gay men, but I’m not sure if that’s just because it overlaps with Men who have a lot of sex or if it points specifically towards homoeroticism.

Rahu in 3rd house in the D9 could be one too, but most readily available examples of gay people and their charts don’t have a good enough birth time to utilize the D9 to begin with.

In terms of very generalizable placements lining up with homosexuality, I think the nakshatras are ok at that but still missing what activates the energies necessary to actually experience homosexuality rather than to just be around those themes.

For example, Chitra nakshatra is heavily associated with themes of homosexuality, but it’s not always necessarily that the individual themself is homosexual, but rather that their parents or friends or colleagues are.

I will say it seems to be easier to predict when a woman will be sapphic compared to when a man will be achilean. Moon nakshatra women seem to consistently be bisexual, but again, it’s not super predictive.

synastry with this guy has been messing with my head, and I’d love to hear what you guys think. We have reversed nodal dynamics (his NN Virgo, my NN Pisces) His Moon is on my SN, and my personal planets (Sun, Venus) fall into his SN. There’s also a yin-yang effect with Jupiter—my Sun is his Jupiter, and his Sun is my Jupiter. We also share the same Mars in Gemini placement, and my Vertex is on his Moon. To make things even weirder—we look like siblings. Does this feel fated or just a coincidence?

Did a cutesy star chart with all my work colleagues for fun but one coworker and I butt heads. We were butting heads way before this chart analysis so imagine my shock when it said we're literal soulmates. We do say a lot of the same stuff at the same time, but we can't communicate for shit. I am the more direct out of both of us and they are a compulsive liar.

I want to vomit and cry. I know it isn't too serious but I am disgusted

I keep reading about big things like moves to different places, etc. curious for those that have had this transit previously, how did it impact you? Did you end up moving to a different country? Did you travel a lot? Go back to school?

I made a comment on this a few days ago briefly touching on this here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Advancedastrology/comments/1iaiulz/comment/m9anpqv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

but I wanted to expand on it since the crazy headlines keep piling up (and won't be stopping for a while) and has people very disoriented. While I will mention some other astrological events happening this is NOT a full on 2025 forecast, these things are just mentioned because the connect to the surplus of Neptunian and Piscean energy that's related to a major issue at the moment. First I'll start off with some relevant basics:

North Node is a point that signifies: Forward movement (more like a push forward or getting pulled forward), increase, and gives a strong urge towards what it touches

Neptune is the modern ruler of Pisces and the planet of illusions, deception, smoke screens, disorientation, distraction, and confusion.

The North Node (both mean and true) recently entered Pisces and is making a conjunction with Neptune and this will be happening until April. Neptune is already in it's domicile thus is most capable and empowered to carry out the things in it's realm and the North Node basically puts it into overdrive, so now more than ever is a time for deception, illusions, and smoke screens to thrive. You should not trust what you see in the 3D with 100% conviction and take things with a grain of salt (more like a whole salt shaker lol). In general the information you see now will only give you a foggy view of the full picture and is full of dishonesty.

Outside of that, Neptune is almost done with it's transit through Pisces and doesn't fully leave til next year. When the generational planets are in their final degrees they tend to want to get in one last punch and display something that really embodies the planet itself + theme of the sign it's been in, so with Neptune finishing off a transit in it's domicile this one will have an extra "umph".

As for when there'll be more clarity and less confusion that's tricky cause even outside of the conjunction there are other things that make it hard to see the full picture:

- Mercury (the planet of information and accuracy) will conjunct the north Node at end of February/beginning of March. Now usually this a great time for receiving important information, however Mercury (which rules over trickery as well) will be at its weakest position in Pisces where it's both in detriment and fallen and has the most struggle doing its job. On top of that it will be conjoined with the Neptune - North Node conjunction so if anything I wouldn't shocked if we receive major information that turns out to not be true or some time of hoax happens.

- Saturn will conjoin with the North Node towards the end of March and will be together for most of April. This could bring some type of structure and stability amdist the chaos but yet again it will be conjoined with the Neptune-North Node conjunction so to me it looks more like a false sense of security or getting structure that's built with on foundation of sand. Neptune will dip into Aries while this is happening so maybe what it is that can give actual stability will become more apparent once Neptune isn't in Pisces and it's just Saturn and the North Node together

- Neptune is going to retrograde back into Pisces at the end of the year. Now there won't be a conjunction but it will still be co-present with the North Node, so I think that final punch I mentioned earlier is still gonna be more powerful than it would if it was by itself

Other things to note:

- All of this is happening in America's natal 4H and near it's IC so it's really affecting the foundation of this country on its deepest level. We can already see how this is a place where what I'm talking about is extremely potent. (On top of what's going on in politics another example of this conjunction manifesting is how this week has been way more foggier than usual and Neptune rules fog)

- We are currently in a transitional stage with all the outer planets switching from being in all feminine to masculine signs, we haven't had all of the outer planets in masculine signs for over 20 years so this is a major shift in collective energy

To close: In the comment I linked at the begining I said we won't see the full picture until all the outer planets have ingressed and we're fully in the New Era in 2026 and highlighted a basket formation happening next summer (I may make a separate thread on that later). So while the wild times won't necessarily be over soon I do think once the North Node and Neptune separate this spring (specifically after the eclipse at the end of March) it will at least be easier to decipher what's truly happening.

The good side of Neptune is that its energy is great for spirituality, arts and creative activities, charity, and getting into touch with your highest self, so any activities of this nature are very favorable and will be the most helpful during these times (especially spiritual practices and acquiring esoteric knowledge or having spiritual downloads). Always remember that all is never lost.

This is my first thread I've made here so please forgive me if I used the wrong flair

Apparently it’s due to having personal planets amongst the same signs. For instance, Pisces Venus and Pisces Mercury. Or Aries Mercury and Aries Mars.

I keep going back and forth on this and it is always good to listen to professional astrologers and get their view whether it is Western or Vedic Astrology.

It seems like Spring and Summer are going to be quite significant and could quite possibly make 2025 as the year that everyone remembers, even more so than 2020, I think we are heading that way. It seems like there could be big events any time between March to August, it would be interesting to get your thoughts on any particular month, week or date that you have your eye on more than any other.

Same for all the planets with their relevant aspects. A sextile from Venus. A trine from Jupiter. An opposition from Saturn. Basically anytime a planet and the aspect that aligns with that planet line up. Does that have significance? It feels like it should, because let's say you have Sun square Mars. Squares are already of the nature of Mars but now you have the Sun in a square to Mars itself, so it's a doubling up of Mars themes that the Sun is contending with.

Would be very curious to see anyone’s take re: this disturbing news.

Say for example someone has the Sun in Virgo, and it's getting squared by Mercury (or a Mercury in Leo getting squared by the Sun, etc)... does the fact that there's aspect with reception diffuse that square at all and make it more supportive, or does it wash out the benefit of reception?

Planets are dependent on their ruler to provide for them, so normally if a planets ruler is poorly placed that would have a negative knock-on effect. But planets in their own bound/term are supposed to have more autonomy and agency so I'm wondering if that can "save" the planet or at least mitigate the negative impact of its ruler? (An example of what I'm talking about would be Venus in Gemini in her own bound/term, but ruled by a combust Mercury).

Noticed an interesting configuration coming up for the next full moon in Leo on February 12th. It will be at 24 degrees Leo and Aquarius - and it just so happens that elder millenials born around 1982 had and exact sextile between Neptune and Pluto at 24 degrees of Sagittarius and Libra. Thus Moon will been sextiling Pluto and trining Neptune - while Sun will be trining Pluto and sextiling Neptune.

Now recall that there will be a more dramatic Mundane cradle configuration involving Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in 2026. So... will this little version be a preview of that for a small segment of the population? Obviously - only 2 of the 4 outer planets are involved, but the shape is unmistakable.

I know there is a link made between Neptune and Pluto sextile and the cold war (since those two planets have been making a merry dance and sextiling each other over and over since 1947). Could this full moon be some sort of development regarding the conflict between Russia and the West? But why would the effect be limited to people born around 1982 in this case?

One interesting thing is that two somewhat known US politicians were born in 1982: Pete Buttigieg and Matt Gaetz... Pete has recently expressed interest in running for Senate in 2026 (for state of Michigan) while Gaetz has resigned from Congress in the end of November and started a job as a host of a political talk show on One America News Network.

But that's just fate of 2 people born around then. What about everyone else?

By this I mean the written symbols like the arrow with the line through it for Sagittarius, or the 'M' with the curl for Virgo. Some have an obvious visual connection to the sign they represent but others less so.

Do they come from a pre-existing alphabet of letters or symbols? Or were they created by a single mind? Or by a range of people over a period of time? And what parameters guided their designs, which seem to belong to a cohesive visual language or structure of some kind.

THANKS in advance for any information.

EDIT: I did do a lot of Googling but couldn't find a straight answer.

Any prediction on what’s gonna happen next after the recent crazy moves by the current administration in the U.S.? I know Mars is in retrograde, but does anyone see if there may be civil unrest triggered by such drastic changes this year?

Hi all, I have been operating under the assumption that my Master of Nativity (Oikodespotes) is Venus due to my use of Egyptian Terms/Bounds. But I have recently been playing around with Ptolemy Terms/Bounds and I am trying to figure out if Mars is the Master, or if acts as a dominant planet due to its nocturnal domicile in Ares (in the first Decan).

The Prodominator (Moon) is in the 11th, in Libra, out of sect, but either in Venus Bound (Egyptian) or Mars (Ptolomy).

Obviously, it is all opinion due to the multitude of varying techniques, but any external perspectives may help :)

Eygptian Bounds

Ptolemy Bounds

I found it once on astro.com but I cant find it again. I dont know what its under cause Im a Novice. If anyone can help me find out how to create a triple wheel, Id greatly appreciate it.

Hey all! I'm super curious to hear how you all have seen or experienced planets (specifically outer planets) squaring Venus.

Are there possibilities for positive results from a transit like Saturn square Venus? Maybe it leads to marriage instead of a breakup after a re-evaluation. Maybe Neptune square Venus introduces more romance into one's relationship. What kind of positive transformation could Pluto square Venus bring?

Or are they all more likely to be negative? What considerations are there for the natal chart?

I'm curious to hear your stories and explainations

Now that Mercury, the planet of technology and communications, reached 0º Aquarius in 2025, we are seeing a massive disruption upon the whole AI market in the USA, since Deepseek from China is showing strong promise to be cheaper, more efficient (so actually less pollutant) and better.

I'm sure a lot here would attribute this to Pluto in 1º Aqu now, but there are more fundamental elements.

0º Aquarius is the degree of the 21 Dec. 2020 Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, so it is, until 2040, a "structural" degree. It really meant the development and distribution of COVID vaccines, the crystallization of our digital reality and necessities, and a momentary priority of the greater good. Since it is the border with Capricorn, we could say it is a very Saturnian degree, so really emphasizing the social and sanitary crisis, but also the patient and slow grind on medical tech to revert this situation. Aquarius is the humane sign that takes the southern reality of Capricorn solstice in crisis (the 2020 absolute fear and emergency mode) and "works" with it, develops what is functional and needed for a situation, like an object with its function: a jar.

AI by itself sounds also Aquarian because it is creating something "synthetic" and specific out of a sea of data that is being scrutinized and arranged in patterns by Saturn – AI is very Mercurial too, of course.

Aquarius has always symbolized, since old Babylon, the floods of winter that "erase" the old to bring space for the new: the immense fertile mess of Pisces and the new equinox in Aries.

I think this 2025 cycle of Mercury through 0º Aquarius is different because now it is ruling Jupiter in Gemini, that really feels here like the "need" of very expensive investment and structure being almost fake, only bad news for who would gain this money for a vague promise. For the actual development of tech, the actual interest of Gemini, these are great news!

Jupiter is also ruling Saturn in Pisces, that is naturally bringing not disruption, but alternatives, mixes, experimentation and slow, "random" developments to Saturn and its structural themes since 2023. 2024 and still this part of 2025 have this very mutable and exchanging energy that I think makes a lot of sense with this rearrangement of finances and tech happening now, triggered by Aquarius transits, bringing it a lot of the all-of-nothing energy we are seeing this week, actually revealing how behind Big USA Tech really is.

But with Saturn in Aries later on, the completely destructive side of these developments will surely be the actual focus.

edit: typo

With Venus entering its Pre-Shadow Retrograde area, I thought it would be helpful to post a timeline of the Mars, Venus, and Mercury Retrogrades & corresponding phases, which will be overlapping one another.
