Hi, I'm new here and asteroids are new to me but am finding them hugely fascinating. This is a great site.
Re Icarus; I have it conjunct venus and chiron in aries(which in turn are conj my NN, which is conjunct my asc, both in pisces). Aries is intercepted there and all oppose a tight stellium on my desc inc the moon, pluto jup and uranus-the latter intercepted in libra and also a singleton.
Pluto is transiting my mc and beginning to square the lot, gulp. I often have a feeling of running away from my relationship but i guess the moon helps me stay and work thru the issues but some days feel so charged i feel like getting on a plane there and then. Saturn also intercepted in aries but in the last deg. It conj my sun in taurus so i guess this stabilises somewhat.
It does feel abit of an internal battle to remain centred and ride the waves. I always put this feeling down to uranus opp venus but icarus opp there too...is there no hope?!

Hello Lovecat,
Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for joining!
It is quite a challenge for Sun conjunct Saturn in Taurus to reconcile with a Uranus/Jupiter opposite Venus/Icarus! It must really put some zest and excitement into your relationships.
I think the Pluto transit to your Ascendant that is setting this all off is going to bring a lot of creative change. What have you noticed with Pluto/MC? This is usually a strong point of realization in your life. (remember, some people will never even get this direct conjunction).
I think there is always hope. Maybe not for a completely traditional relationship that “follows the book” but certainly for a creative and rewarding union that matches your need for stability and predictability as well as your need for the zany and unusual.
Thanks again for your input here on the forum.
Warm wishes, Kim

Hello... I am new as well! I have been reading through the message boards for a while and I've decided to join Icarus in my chart falls at 28*57' AQU. It's right on top of my 28*11' AQU Jupiter, 29*58' AQU Venus, (and can also potentially conjunct my 24*05' AQU Sun, and 03*26' PIS Mercury- depending on how loose of an orb you'll accept). All of this is in my 5th house. Other notable aspects with Icarus include: Semi-sextile 29*19' PIS Urania in 6th After reading through this discussion and the book, "Asteroid Goddesses" by Demetra George and Douglas Bloch, I can make a few points. I'm wondering if what I see in my Icarus is right, and any added insight is also welcome. I can already tell you that my Icarus/Jupiter conjunction does very much so lend itself to my wanting to be free to practice the religion of my choice. This is further enhanced, I believe, by Aquarius's Ruler, Uranus, being in Sagittarius in the 3rd, (Jupiter and Uranus are receptive by sign). I don't go for dogmatic religion, or people trying to tell me that I'm going to go "down there" for believing in what I do- In my mind, everyone has the right to follow their own spiritual paths without being told what, when, where, why and how to worship. That's why Gnostic Christianity and Spirituality really appeal to me, (and I guess I'm a blend of the two, in the end). This aspect stands out in my life because on one end, I have family members and non-family periodically trying to pushing me INTO religion, (I'm actually the black sheep of my extended family when it comes to this aspect of life), and on the other there are Aetheists and Agnostics trying to pull me OUT of any religious convinction I have. I do get highly upset at both instances, and usually end up saying something along the lines of what my signature entails, or "You're all you: NOT ME" and etc. As far as Icarus/Venus, I can see it operating in my life but to a lesser degree than some would think, atleast in the more (please pardon my use of term) "sexually expressive" way that I know Icarus/Venus usually expresses itself. However, I've tended to have problems staying with long term partners because there comes a point where I notice that I am emotionally detached from the person and start to feel resentful if they are trying to coddle me and suffocate me all of the time- and thus, start to want to really break off the relationship. This attitude changes- it's cyclic. I guess Moon in Aries in the 7th attributes to that, and the fact that I manage to end up with males that are more outwardly feminine than I am sometimes! You know, the guys that are expressively sensitive, the ones that WANT to coddle! I've started learning how to balance out my relationships with my latest boyfriend- and we've reached a compromise- I promise to honour his need for physical closeness, and he promises to honour my need for intellectual stimulation. So, while I hug him, he talks to me in depth about any given topic Icarus stands out in my life in another way. I am very spiritually attuned, to the point that I am not grounded. Literally, everyone, psychic or not, will tell me that I have my head up in the next dimension, feet faaaar off of the ground, (I have very little earth/water in my chart- I'm practically all air/fire, even w/house placements). I've yet to learn self-discipline in that respect. It's hard for me, because I really want to go off and do my own thing, by my own schedule regarding things of the more spiritual dimension. I often get very ahead of myself and find that I trip either right before I make progress or right after I have a very strong psychic streak, lol. Creatively speaking, Icarus being in the 5th house... My middle and highschool art teachers will tell you that I was possibly the best artist of the 2004 class and stood out amongst a lot of good artists, but they hated the fact that I did what I wanted to do the lot of the time- which included wanting to NOT finish projects, or to simply do my art in a style that they didn't prefer. My artwork, most of the time, was done with Spiritual tones. And btw- I want a motorcycle, I find that most roller/air coasters don't go high/fast enough, lol, and I also have recently become fascinated with Astral Traveling. Since I was 13, I've longed to have more flying dreams because I absolutely love the way that it feels! I figure, HECK! Why have a flying dream when I could try to consciously Astral Travel? But alas... I need to work on settling my mind, to meditate better. Sorry, I know this was rather long... I write a lot and I'm known for it on other boards, lol. Thanks for reading! Love and Light!!
