Just to mention a few of the things that can (depending on your chart and/or
Return Charts' angles:)
As usual, a backslash indicates a hard aspect, including an angular parans
opposition while a - stands for an angular conjunction.
1. The retrograde Panacea in Leo indicates that solutions, repairs,
treatments or cures just won't--thanx to the Rx--be available or forthcoming
now. There can also be further problems that arise due to the attempt to
Improve or Fix something or someone.
2. With the retrograde Lachesis conjunct Panacea, the sense is that, not
only can things not be really "fixed" right now, attempts to (Lachesis)
interfene or provide temporary respite also won't be effective.
3. With parans oppositions from points such as Orpheus, Eros, Harvey and
Odysseus:
a) The inability to fix, effectively treat or cure someone/something can
result in deaths or it may refer to treatment-resistant depression.
b) As Eros and Harvey supply ideas, there would be difficulty providing
effective treatment for cardiac or reproductive organ issues. Taken
together, we would think that the heart is struggling due to a blood
circulation problem. (So if this is up in your chart, you want to check to
see if the TNP, Admetus, or the asteroids, Admete or Admetos are aspected
to represent the blockage or slowness that Harvey to trying to bring to
attention. For instance, although there are specific medical asteroids for
blood viscosity, see also how one of the Admetus family points could slow or
hamper blood as shown by the TNP or asteroid, Zeus.)
c) In addition to pointing to the heart, Harvey also suggests potential
hormone, arterial or vascular concerns.
d) This difficulty in solving--much less being able to bring a hiatus or
interruption to a problem-- can also be made apparent due to Odysseus'
travel or travelers. (This may well point to the concerns about the Corona
Virus and people traveling...and carrying it, but it also seems to say that
taking a trip won't really "fix" anything-- maybe not even for a little
while.) There can also be a turn with these energies that, by virtue of
(Odysseus) being away from home or on a journey..\Panacea, Rx -- something
can't be treated, repaired or improved.
3. In mid-Pisces applying to Neptune, you will find two medical asteroids,
Askalaphus and Podalarius encasing the asteroid, Melpomene. This certainly
speaks of Melpomene's Tragedy or Catastrope as being of a medical nature.
a) Both Neptune and Psyche participate in the "tragedy," and this can mean
that, due to one's (Neptune) susceptibility and/or fragile immune system,
part of what's so very "tragic" is how it has affected their
mental-emotional state and how they've been unable to deal with a tragedy in
their life. The chart offers the reminder that our bodies are not separate
from the impact of our emotional state.
4. In parans opposition to all that (in #3) is a retrograde Urania. Some
of how I think that will manifest:
a) Medical asteroids\Urania, Rx: Of course illness, whether one's own or
present in a close other, affects the mental "take" and perception of what's
going on. A person often has to view the world through the lens of their
illness--be it mental and/or physical. There can also be some interest in
medical astrology.
b) There's no trick to recognizing how a (Melpomene) tragedy can affect
people's (Urania) perspective and ability to think without bias.
c) When you imagine Neptune enveloping Urania, Rx, in its fog and clouds,
you easily see Neptunian-Astrology, but you also see how being persuadable,
not feeling strong, feeling vulnerable-- any of the Neptune stuff-- how that
affects the Rational Take on people and events.
d) Then add the Psyche\Urania, Rx. Can a person be intellectually clear
when "their pain" is up, when the scars and wounds from very hurtful events
are making a return engagement to their mind-heart? Too you may see that
people don't quite succeed when they try to use ideas, intelligence and
intellectual defenses to hide or over-ride what their emotions are feeling.
5. We are all hearing a lot about the Corona virus and I thought I would
mention that one point for contagion and contagious diseases is the
asteroid, Avicenna #2755. It's heading into mid-Sag now. (Note that it can
stand for other things such as Diabetes, Bi-Polar Disorder and Septic Shock
so you would want to evaluate aspects to see how it will manifest in your
chart. For instance, it carries a parans opposition to Siwa now and Siwa,
like Siva, refers to Asia... so you think of Avicenna now as representing
the contagious disease that is ravaging China.)
a) However, this Avicenna can be angular on the same return chart as that
Neptune-Psyche\Urania... so there can also be examples of mood disorders
such as bi-polar.
6. When we think of "Contagious Disease," we can also look to the TNP,
Apollon, and the asteroid, Apollonia. Within their repertoires is the idea
of "Spread." An angular order that's possible now goes:
Panacea, Rx\Odysseus - Apollonia - Hippokrates = Virchow
There is no effective treatment now for the travelers who are spreading a
pathogen.
When we look at the angles of return charts, be they Solar or Lunar,
Tropical and/or Precession-Corrected, we are asking for "the hard news." In
a way, the angles represent a Cardinal Grand Cross (even if some of the
angle degrees are in a Fixed or Mutable sign.) Sometimes softened by the
appearance of Venus, Jupiter or other smoother energies and combinations,
we've looked to the angles for the sharper edge of things.
In order to have balance, ya' gotta' remember to smile and notice all the
dear and great things that happen!
