Hello Everyone, I hope you have found your way to this new forum! My apologies for any inconvenience. On May 9th , 2004, Asteroid 433 Eros will transit the Zero Degree Aries point of the tropical zodiac and start its next 1.76 year orbit around the sun. This suggests our passionate desire for erotic transformation may be linked, during this transit, to how we relate to the collective. We could suddenly get noticed! People may see our potent energy as tantalizing or threatening, according to their own views. Anyone with personal planets or points within 1 degree of 0 Aries, 0 Cancer, 0 Libra or 0 Capricorn, take note. Also, check the Eros Guide www.nrg.com.au/~d-falcon/Guide.htm on May 9th for more information on this asteroid’s transit through Aries. For my complete article on the Zero Degree Aires Point click here- www.nrg.com.au/~d-falcon/News.htmYour questions, comments and insights are welcome here. Warmly, Kim

Hi Gracie,
I am glad you enjoy the site!
Yes, Eros on the AP/Ascendant is significant. I suspect your upcoming Eros return will highlight the emphasis of Eros in this unique position. It is a time when Eros begins a whole new 1.76 year cycle in your life. Here is an excerpt from my Eros Report on the Eros Return—<br> “The Eros return seems always significant, and coincides with the reaffirmation of the natural erotic qualities in the individual. Whether the event is inner or outer, the time will usually not slip by unnoticed.
Eros to Eros contacts heighten the passions encouraging us to feel life more profoundly and experience relationships on a deeper level. According to the house and sign positions involved, this transit will awaken the natural inclinations of Eros, be they subtle or conspicuous.
Vitalized and charged with desire, a stimulated Eros can manifest as the appearance of an individual that, on some level, embodies our erotic fancy. The encounter may be brief and may not necessarily lead to an intimate union, but it will have impact. We may course with a particular vibrancy, taking the feeling into artistic endeavors, work projects or even long term relationships. The trigger may not even be a real person, as this transit can manifest as a captivating actor or famous personality. Although we may never met them, still they have a tantalizing and erotic effect…”
Because this event occurs on the AP as well, it may reflect a certain public or social content. You may be noticed for your erotic, transformational, charismatic and creative energy. I imagine there will be some attention coming you way!
I’ll come back for the conjunction question tomorrow.
Thanks for your contribution. Venus occultation on your Moon? That does sound interesting!!! More on that later too!
Warmly, Kim

Gracie asked: “Also, what is the possible significance of Eros/Sun/Saturn/Ceres/Psyche all conjunct the Aries point in a natal chart?”<br> Hi Gracie, All within a degree or 2? Wow, that is some potent stellium! First up, consider that any conjunction is a melting or merging of energy. It is like you are making a soup. Some of the ingredients are going to be subtle and some strong. Some are the “meat” and some are the “spice”. The point is, when you take a bite, you don’t think about each individual flavour. You experience the blend, and that is what it is like with a conjunction. Just the Sun/Saturn, save the rest for a moment, is a pervasive symbol by itself. In it is struggle for individuality, the exertion of great effort to separate from “father”, or tradition, and be who you are meant to be, and the challenge of self-acceptance, distinction and self-sufficiency. It is the lead and the gold of alchemy. You become the opus—the great work. And it often feels like work! Put that on the zero degree Aries point and you may find, over time, that your effort and struggle and distinction is noticed by the public. It is tied to the mark you make, large or small, on the collective. When “they” think of you, they say, “Ahh, she worked so hard to get were she is!” or, “That gal pulled herself up by her own boot straps.” Does that make sense? Now, add the more subtle asteroids and you have a tastier soup! Eros there is about passion, (and Mel Gibson aside, “passion” has its roots in the Latin word for “suffering”.) Eros is about the driving energy of the heart that risks all for the beloved, be that a creative project or and actual individual. Eros/AP is know for a charismatic charm on the surface that hints and the transformational depths below! Ceres is about nurturing, caring for what we love—a child, a family, a tribe, the earth. There is the added feeling of the power of creation here. Psyche longs for union that leads to a particular kind of understanding. A link between soul to soul, a telepathy, an empathy beyond the usual sense of the word. With these planets on the AP, again, there could be a link to the collective through what they symbolize. There are myriad possibilities from “the single mother who started a food co-op that bonded together those in need” to the executive woman who now runs her father’s company and provides child care for her employees. In any case, she is compelling, alluring and in no short supply of suitors, should she choose to let one in. They must, of course, pass some rigid tests…<br> Do you get the idea? Now, this “fairy tale” is just an example of how the conjunction could work out. The main thing to consider is that the potent energies involved will blend and transform again and again over time. It is a lot to work with, and having Saturn there suggests it is going to be hard work, at least for the first 30 years or so. Hope this helps! Warmly, Kim

hi kim, thanks for your reply on the conjunction. i should of clarified that when i said conjunct the ap, i was talking about a 90*dial; also meant to say circe not ceres. jeez your replies always have so much information that i need time to think about. baby steps to the elevator ... (these smileys are annoying yet i can't seem to stop)

Hi Gracie, In terms of the conjunction, most of what I said would also apply to the 90 degree dial—it’s just that if it is in opposition, there may be more objectivity, (and a see-saw between the two) and if it is square, there can be greater awareness of the conflicts. True conjunctions really melt the energies together more that any other aspect. Circe, not Ceres? That is like saying Parmesan cheese, not milk! Circe was a powerful witch. She was more about spells and telepathy and transformation than nurturing and growth. Both, however, have much connection with the powers of the earth: Ceres through fertility and Circe through magic! All in all, a very interesting combination linked to the AP. How do you feel these archetypes express in relationship to the public or collective? What do you feel you are “noticed” for? Warmly, Kim

Hello Everyone! I have just posted the “Eros on the Zero Degree Aries point” guide. www.nrg.com.au/~d-falcon/Guide.htmThis update covers Eros on the AP, of course, and also Eros through Aries in general. Also discussed is the symbol of the Ram and the theory of backwards causation, the decans of Aries, Eros and Sappho (still only a few degrees apart) and Eros/AP over the angels, nodes, draco contacts and midpoints. There is a lot of material covered! The Eros ephemeris runs from May 1st to June 26th. I am, of course, interested in any insights or experiences during this 1.76 year transit! Send in your thoughts! Warmly, Kim

Hi Kim and everyone,
My progressed Ac is on the AP, on 0,21 Ar. Would that mean that I will express Eros in ways that will be visible to other people, or would that only be an issue when Eros touched off something in my natal? I feel extremely vigorous, that's for sure! Undertaking all kinds of big projects, f.i. rebuilding the theatre I work for... and that's only one example!
All the best, Juliet

Hi Juliet! Progressed Ascendant on the AP is VERY exciting!!! This is a huge shift for you from the last decan of Pisces to the First of the First! All things related to intention, focus, initiation and self-direction are augmented. I imagine it is like a fog is lifting from your life! Yes? Here is what the revered Alan Leo had to say about this major shift in the progressed Ascendant. (my 2 cents is in brackets). “All matters relating to the “head” (think Head of the department, Headquarters, go over their heads, head of the table etc. Also…headaches occurring when we can’t be our own authority!) and the first house come to the foreground. (you) will want to lead and be at the head of things, and will, in all probability, meet with some recognition…you will be more aspiring, ambitious and wish to reform existing conditions. You will have abundant opportunities for progress, intellectual development and will take a keen interest in life. Mars brings much mental energy and enthusiasm!” -A. Leo As Eros crosses this point (and Mars is now at 0 Cancer!) you will certainly express a zesty and erotic nature, to the degree that is authentic to you. Yes, it is likely to be visable to others, I would say you will “turn their heads” when you walk past! This is a tremendous boost, this progression over the AP! (and it is in orb for over a year!) There is always a significant change when the Ascendant shifts decans or signs, but this one from Pisces to Aries is the biggest! What else has happening? Warm wishes! Kim

Well, Kim, I've been shopping around for a new Headquarters (Ar!) for the theatre. We need a better place to reside in during the winter, and I already found two options! (One is with an foundation where the head is an Aries Sun and that's the one I feel most comfortable with). Exciting, and I'm being very straightforward and clear and unafraid in negotiating. I received some compliments (recognition) for that! Lots of job offers, but I'm sticking to 'my' theatre. Talking to the 'biggest' and most powerful cultural people in the city. The fog has surely lifted. There's not much doubt in me right now! Futhermore I'm seeking a new foundation and structure for the theatre, and just the right people seem to come forward...
So Eros and the Aries ascendant seem to express itself most in my career. Jupiter helps too. It's been going retrograde and is direct now over my Sun, Moon and Mercury in the 8th, at 10, 16 and 22 deg Virgo. I do turn heads, Feel confident now in what I am... but not in a flirty mood, even adverse to it!!!! Contrary to what I was used to. Flirting even irritates me. I've already chosen my mate... For now. And he's helping and supporting me enormously. His Jup on my Sun. His career is spiralling extremely rapidly upward too! Our careers seem rather intwined, but I do not feel dependant on him emotionally anymore. I'm almost painfully honest with him too! Take me for what I am, that seems to cover it all, and that's his attitude too.
Thus Mars is on my progressed IC (0 deg Cancer, where my lovers natal Moon is) right now, opposite the MC. North Node is conj my natal MC at 16 deg Sco natally.... This career surely feels fated. I'm always a bit puzzled over what the IC means... My deceased fathers Sun is on my natal IC. Could you shed some light? Home, parents, the inner self versus the outer self? My father played the mother role when I was an infant. Progressed Des at 0 deg Libra is conjunct natal Midpoint Jup-Eros, comfortably along with progressed vertex at 0 deg Libra. Thanks, Juliet

Hi Juliet, Wow. Things sound like they are really taking off career wise, and yes, with those configurations, I am not surprised you have a fated feel about it all. It’s good to hear there is a sense of balance and emotional honesty with your mate. “What you see is what you get!” sounds very healthy to me. The IC is a natural mystery to consciousness as it symbolized what “I DON”T C! It is the area of the chart farthest from the external MC, an area we often keep quite private and hidden, even from ourselves. Joanne Whickenburg used to say that if the Ascendant is WHO you are the IC is WHAT you are, and that is something we often lack the objectivity to comprehend, at least in its totality. It is a hidden angle, a hidden house, one that is often projected onto other people, places or things. It can represent what gives us as sense of emotional stability and security, and a sense of where we came from, (a nurturing parent, a family history, a country a clan.) It is the well from which the self bubbles up to express in the civilised avenues of the Ascendant and the Midheaven. The IC itself is not so civilized, at least, not in a rational sense. Its natural ruler is Cancer, a primitive, voiceless sign that has intense instinctual wisdom and acute intuition. You may not understand intellectually the base of how you operate, yet you do understand it intuitively. Having your Dad’s Sun there means, growing up, he somehow embodied the nature of your emotional security and sense of “roots” in the world. His role would be a very “hard act to follow”, I think, on an unconscious level at least. He would have naturally “provided” so much, just by being who he was. It’s always interesting to note what synastry planets fall here when looking at relationships with other people! Your progressed chart is just burgeoning with symbols of success and recognition. Well deserved! And…no surprise you don’t feel so flirty right now with transiting Saturn opposite the Moon. That is all about the business of building empires, emotional, spiritual, intellectual or pragmatic. Boundaries are strong and intentions clear. As long as there is a job to do, you can feel pretty good! Thanks for the examples and insights! Warmly, Kim

Hi!
I have a North Node of Venus at Aries 1°. <br>Do you also consider the planetary nodes important? if so, how can i intrepret this- North Node of Venus conjucnt Eros? is it significant?

Post by Kim Falconer on May 12, 2004 6:23:14 GMT
Hi Kiyomi,
I can’t work out how you can have Venus’s node at 1 Aries. The planetary nodes move VERY slowly, about a degree a year. The Venus node now is 16 degrees Gemini (Making for the Occultation on May 8th) and in 1973 was 11 degrees of Cancer Rx. That’s the geocentric position. What is your source?
Planetary nodes are interesting, though I don’t use them routinely.
Warmly, Kim

dear Kim, I found this info on planetary nodes the following link:- ephemeral.info/ephi tried it again but i got NN of Venus at 1 ° of Aries, and South Node of Venus 21st degree of Capricorn for the feburay 1973.
