Today is 13th June, which in the Vedic calendar is an important festival day celebrated in honour of Ganesha. Ganesh is the god prayed to at the start of new ventures. He is regarded as the removal of obstacles. The festival name is ‘sankashti’ - this has a Sanskrit origin meaning ‘deliverance during difficult times’.

Given that the event chart for AstroGarden is very positive - nearly all transits still the same - I would like to open the doors to the forum today rather than wait till the 24th new moon. What this means is to make the forums visible to the public so that they can read contents (as is the case for all forums) but must register in order to post. We would keep forum matters hidden from public view.

If there is another forum which people don't wish to be public right away, then please let me know. If anyone has any objections, please raise them too.

cc: Admin , @intuitivefish , enneline , lumina , Ava  - drawing you attention to this as you are all present.

Wow, that happened fast!

I just told someone that we aren't public yet.

Then immediately it went public. LOL.....my life. 

What time did you make the change, @astrokeen?

[Deleted]

Ava, funny enough, it was 21:12. Noticed that just as I completed writing my last post and went on to change the permissions for various threads. So, the process was complete at say 21: 20. 

Which brings me to the question - which would be considered the TOB, in this case?

Saturn on Asc
Sun on Dsc
Pallas/Uranus on IC

So, we're already public? I did feel like today was a pivotal day for me, with the Moon transiting my 1st and Ascendant. A couple of shifts in my outlook happened today. Of course, that only has to do with me. But, it's funny how that synchronicity can happen, as it's a pivotal day for this board, as well.

  It seems that the name "Astro Garden" has been used loads. It is the name of a popular computer game and has been used for astrology blogs!! Now I check this!

does this matter though? 
maybe it will bring on more people and make the site more popular with more people searching for it. unless that is not what you want

[Deleted]

@intuitivefish, I don't thnk it will matter. However, people only searching only for 'AstroGarden' may not find us.

[Deleted]

the more they search for that phrase the more up in the search it will come. so people who will look for astrology forum and other names in the search engine will find it.
the more the word goes out there, the more astrology garden will be up in search results

people who dont know this site at all and will want to search for astrology forum wont put " astrology garden " but other things in search engine. only people familiar with the site may look for it by name

@astrokeen


21:12 is the time.

But what place did you use?

[Deleted]

Thank you for the research, lumina .

The midpoint aspects are amazing. Incidentally, Alma is exactly conjunct Chiron, hopefully in a healing mode.

There is a kite formation isn't there - NN/IC, Pallas, Uranus/Saturn, with the MC.

NN - 26.2
Pallas - 25.54 / IC - 25.58 - very precise!
Saturn - 24.37
MC - 25.58

Well, most astrologers would not allow an angle or calculated point as in an aspectfigure (unless conjunct a planet).

However I did notice the emphasis on Pallas, too, which is a good sign, especially conjunct Uranus on the IC - what could be more fitting to an astrology-site?

asteroid URANIA (which is the astrology-asteroid) is interestingly placed, too. Mercury-Jupiter trine an Aqua-Moon, all very astrologically promising.

The aspects that do have me concerned a bit though, are Mercury square Neptune (prone to misunderstandings, in some grave cases even lies or deception).

And the Sun-Saturn-opposition, overlaying the horizon, this will become very noteable and while there IS the potnetial to grow into maturity, on its path there might be quite some roadblocks, and I am thinking in particular of a clash in terms of rules and perception of restricting authority.

Sun on the DESC signifies not just the chart itself but the audience, the people that we will encounter, and they might get a bit into conflict with what they perceive a restrictive (retro) influence of authority (Saturn).

Actually both Sun and Saturn can represent authorities, in different ways, so there might be the occasional conflict there taking place.
On the other hand it is of course also an aspect denoting the seriousness and if not preventing from taking off from the start, then pointing to a gradual and long development, hence lasting for quite some time. But surely a bit of a rocky path to wander for a forum, with Sun-Saturn on the angles.

Might also point to a certain scarcity, hence I guess maybe not that many people will register here, but those who do hopefully will be serious about it?



Also Neptune as part of the Pythagorean triangle with Jupiter and Mercury, is the one at the "power-corner", making a quinkunx and square, and Neptune rules the 3rd house and sits in 2nd house, so we need to be quite careful with the words we use, or NOT use. Nebulous communication or misunderstandings (Neptune in 3rd) could in a worst case scenario erode/ dissolve (Neptune) the stable basis and foundation and substance (2nd house) of the forum. Hopefully the Mercury-Jupiter-trine will be helpful in preventing that from happening, with a good dose of ease, chattiness and willingness to talk and exchange thoughts in a friendly way. Mercury is also strong in Gemini of course.


One more reason that I think this aspect might also be helpful in working with the tension suggested by Sun-Saturn, is that Mercury disposits Sun and Jupiter disposits Saturn, so both dispositors are in an exact trine, hopefully giving some subtle underlying understanding despite any conflicts.
Mercury trine Jupiter is also the most exact aspects between major planets in the chart, so that is good, too. Gives it more emphasis even ,and the other partile aspects are very mind-oriented ones, too. Very fitting.

Thanks for posting and analyzing the chart, lumina.

I meant to get to this yesterday but was sidetracked. Will read more carefully later.

[whisperix]

We are public! We are public! We are public! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

[Ava]

After re-reading...I think you said it all, lumina. 👍

"Might also point to a certain scarcity, hence I guess maybe not that many people will register here, but those who do hopefully will be serious about it?"

Sounds good to me.

Also, this chart with Saturn on the ASC fits the modifications that followed: first it was mostly all public, then some forums were hidden again. Saturn constricts and limits.

Good observation!
