Dear Erato.
I was the "queen of reproductive organs surgery, drama and illness." My husband just had successful surgery for prostate cancer. So I can share with you my experiences.
Cysts wax and wane, so there may be a connection to the Moon. Studying the cycles of the Moon and which sign the Moon is traveling through may give you some insights.
However, look at energy as energy, not as an astrological configuration that "gives problems," You need to look at where in your chart is being unexpressed or not acknowledged or used unskillfully.
In retrospect, I can see now that my Mars was all of the above, and after much contemplation, I see how this manifested as illness.
Perhaps I came into the world this way, but I was never allowed to express anger, frustration or my immense sexual desire. I did not learn to express these things positively until about two years ago.
Consider the role Mars plays in my natal: 1. Entire first house in Scorpio, ruled by MARS and Pluto. Saturn is exact on the second hosue cusp, still in Scorpio. Saturn in this placement can maintain a ridgid control of all things Maritan and Plutonian. 2. Ceres in Aries in 6th house, MARS-daily health regimen 3. Sun, Sappho, Mercury, Vertex in 8th house Gemini, ruled by MARS and Pluto. This gives a Sun/Mars and Sun/Pluto feel to the solar purpose. 4. Mars in Pisces, in a grand trine with Neptune and Venus. Mars in this placement needs to spend alot of time swimming around and not going anywhere. This is the opposite way of a direct Martian energy. But it is also valid and needs expression. 5. Mars is in opposition to natal Pluto/Jupiter conjunction and in an exact opposition to Pele, the Volcano goddess.
That is a huge amount of d Martian energy with diverse and sometimes opposite needs, in signs and with planets that symbolize reproductive energy.
Most of my surgeries took place when Mars was transiting my 8th house, traditionally the "house of surgeries." Not all, but most.
The irony is that I am a professional in the arts, and have arts' hobbies been married for 28 years and have two beautiful kids.
And so, for me, it had to do with those daily health and exercise habits, learning to express frustration and anger and learning to acknowledge what being Scorpionic means. (Me? Magnetic? Manipulative? Secretive? Nooooooooooo. can't be)
I read that Ceres in the 6th contributes to cysts, but I don't think it is that simplistic.
Hope this helps.
Blessings, Amoroso

Wow, what an interesting thread! Aquarian, that is one of the most interesting ideas I've heard set forth, re Ceres, grain, and energy existing in the chart already & therefore not required additionally in one's diet. That would make a very interesting topic for further study! For example, Juliet's chart may represent a significant lacking of that energy, which is why she feels weak when she eliminates grains. Despite the way most people go on about diet, it's hardly a one-size-fits-all matter, and I wonder how one's chart can give a glimpse into the unique approach that would be best -- most energizing & balancing -- for each individual. Tom, that's very interesting what you said about your Libra ASC vs. the Mars/Uranus energy there. I could really visualize that as you described it, and it makes sense to me that you would really need to use & to channel that energy on a regular basis so that it doesn't start to impode negatively on you! Very keen of you to realize that. And Amoro, it makes sense as well that you've required so much surgery in the area of your "power center", and the area that connects your power center to your base chakra. Your really do have some heavy elemental energy you've had to learn how to metabolize, dear, and kudos to you that you've gained success in learning how to manage it! What a blessing to hear that you've regained your health & strength -- I'm so happy to hear that. I had lots of health issues earlier in my life -- I've got Pisces on my 6th house cusp, with a 6th-house Chiron on Pisces opposing a 12th-house Pluto that is conjunct Uranus, opposing Saturn and square Mars in the 8th. And my 6th house ruler is Neptune, which is conjunct my moon in the 2nd house. Health & money -- these things seemed to plague me with all sorts of constant & painful dramas for the first few decades of my life. But I did so much work on myself during that time, it feels that I cleared a lot of garbage out of my energy field, and things work so much more smoothly now -- it's a whole different frequency. My chart has a lot of Plutonian energy, and that appears to have provided the resilience & restorative properties that have "re-birthed" me several times over, thank goodness. No fun to wallow in ashes, ay? LOL Venus is my ruler, conjunct my Sun, NN, and MC, and all trine Saturn. And Mars trines my ASC, & Terpsichore sextiles. I think these are all vitality-reinforcing aspects, which I'm currently tapping into these day in a way I haven't since I was a kid, and it feels great! I know what it feels like to feel chronically like the underside of a bad day, so I'm celebrating this other vibe! Am curious to explore more about the dietary aspects of chart placements. Would be a good thread to start on its own, for us to record our ideas as they come about. Any interest in that? Sam

All I can say is "Wow!". And thank you for sharing your experiences, Amoroso. I think my moon may be playing a bigger part than I originally realized. (Maybe because it's in the 12H). Expressing my emotions has always been a "challenge". In the past, I always worried they were not the appropriate emotions for a given situation, so I tried to hold them in. Bad idea.
Although I'm making great strides in releasing my emotions as they happen, apparently, I am still holding some of them in-- to a great enough extent that it's manifesting itself in my body.
If I'm not authentic with myself, my body will "break down" in some way-- via migraines, cysts etc...
I will also have to look at Saturn. But I think that plutonian energy is where I need to focus first.
I'm going to re-read your posts and look at my chart again. Thank you again for your insight and generousity....
And I'm so happy that you are well Amoroso!

Hi Erato. Venus is said to govern the ovaries and testicles. I think Amoroso's post shows the connection she plays through the interaction between her and Mars. Moon governs the womb. I would also look to Jupiter for expanded growth and at the symbolism of the left side of the body. One thing that comes to mind when I think of ovaries or testicles is the tradition I've read so many times in scriptures of setting a stone as a pledge, oath or rememberance. Did you know that Peter means "hollow stone"? (Yes, I'm sure that's why it became a slang term for male genital) It reminds me, though, of geodes with beautiful crystals inside.

Could not shakiness be withdrawal symptoms to an allergy/addiction to grain like an alcoholic gets shaky without their booze? I and 2 other people in my family have Mars/Uranus conj [all of us have wide orbs all in diff signs ] and like me they have this square Mercury - we all have migraines caused by various allergies - onion citrus grains etc The 2 other members of the family have Mars trine Uranus not aspecting Mercury at all and have good digestions and no migraines but both get nasty anaphwhatsit shock reactions to certain things Mars is the digestive fire Uranus I suppose makes it speedy and then Mercury kind of comes charging in at a junction like a teenager causing the gut spasms that lead to our migraines [we had success fixing some allergies with NAET - google]

Health can be seen as a free flow of energy throughout the body. This flow is wave form, uniting the seemingly solid organs of your body into a dynamic, interconnected whole. --Dr. Shakti Elliot Hi Everyone, Amoroso, thank you for those insights!The following is from my manuscript “Vital Signs: The Astrology of Wellbeing”The vital life force of the human body gives, receives and conducts energy according to its innate nature described by the signs of the zodiac. The free flow and authentic expression of that energy equates with an ongoing state of health and wellbeing. When that energy is hampered, even by one percent, we experience dis-ease. We get sick, or depressed, or traumatized, and not until the energy is flowing freely again do we recover our vitality. The highly respected and well remembered astrologer, Howard Sasportas, discussed the link between the health of the body and our attitudes and expressions in his book, The Twelve Houses. …illness can be understood as a message that something in life is not right and needs adjusting. But what do we adjust? Certainly there are physical components to illness, yet finding out what is not right includes looking at the natural needs and contributions of each zodiac sign and comparing them with the activities and experiences currently underway. We can ask, Is that the best we can do with our Aquarius Midheaven? Is there more to discover in a Libra second house? What will awaken, enhance and authenticate Scorpio in the twelfth house, and what are the consequences of its neglect? Could there be an uninvited guest lurking somewhere in the horoscope?Looking closely at the signs around the horoscope and how they currently express is one way to ascertain what is not right in life and make meaningful adjustments that lead to a greater sense of wellbeing. Erato, as Aquarianessence says, Venus rules the ovaries. Scorpio is the sign that is concerned with reproduction. I would link you cystic ovaries (astrologically) to Venus, the 7th house and Scorpio…does Scorpio rule your 7th? The following, again from my book on astrology and health, is an account of Scorpio and the 7th house. Scorpio on the Descendent or in the Seventh HouseWhen Scorpio is found on the Descendent or contained in the seventh house, the need to develop power, intimacy and transformational changes falls into the domain of personal one-to-one relationships. Here the Phoenix may rise out of the ashes of demolished unions as Scorpio builds, destroys and re-creates experiences of committed, socially consequential unions. The need for potent interchange and depth can manifest in powerful partnerships or, conversely, power struggles with others. ( The image of Scorpio may be projected onto the other, allowing them to act out the qualities of this sign.) Scorpio needs to feel the searing contact of soul to soul merging, and this can be done in creative, or not so creative, ways. Any official relationship is important to Scorpio here, with marriage and business partnerships or even counselor-client relationships being the grounds on which this sign acts. Co-creations, merged ideas and unions formed to build something better in the life are necessary for this placement and can give Scorpio the terrain needed to experience growth, transformations, death and re-birth. The paradox lies with Taurus on the Ascendant or in the first house—a sign not noted for enjoying the upheaval Scorpio finds so very fascinating. The underlying need is to take risks with vulnerability, merging intimately with others (sometimes in taboo ways) to form outstanding results. Relationships now are the area of life where these things must happen. If Scorpio is unable to do this, physical or emotional dis-ease may result. Conditions associated with an unexpressed Scorpio on the Descendent or in the seventh house include sexual dysfunction, infertility, STD’s, or any problems with the reproductive track in general including testicles and ovaries. The organs of elimination may also be targeted, giving trouble with the urinary system, prostate, large intestine, colon and rectum in the form of hemorrhoids, cystitis, colitis, constipation or irritable bowel syndrome. Sever diseases include all forms of malignancy, HIV and conditions requiring surgical intervention. Looking to the natal position of Pluto and Mars can offer ideas for a more healthy and creative expression of Scorpio in the seventh house. Everyone, don’t let the list of symptoms and conditions freak you out! It’s just there to be thorough. Erato, were is Mars and Pluto in your chart?Ana, allergies are linked to the Moon astrologically and the connection with Ceres is also important. Migraines are ARIES…headaches tend to indicate where we are NOT able to be self-directing. Where Aries is in the chart, we have to learn to be the boss! Anaphylactic shock—the instant allergic reaction to a substance ingested or injected into the body—is life threatening and I think Uranian in nature with the suddenness and the extremeness. Pluto/Uranus makes it life threatening. Fantastic thread!

Kim, you are very, very good!
Yes, I have Taurus rising. Venus in the 6th. Mars in the 4th, but very close to the 5th house cusp. Pluto in the 5th, nearing the 6th, and ruling the 7th.
Power and relationships have been a huge theme in my life.
I read a passage from a medical book today, and it was strikingly similar to your post Kim.
One thing I've tried so hard to rectify in my life these last couple of years, is being more comfortable with using my own power. In the past, I've had a very bad habit of projecting onto others. So I would find myself surrounded by very controlling people (starting with my parents), and I would be so afraid to speak out--for fear of total rejection.
This discussion has led me to conclude there is still more work to be done in this area (Not to discredit the breakthroughs I've made in therapy).
Now I'm really going to have to step back and ask myself those hard questions. Where is this fear coming from? What's the worst that can happen to me if I am authentic to myself? It is becoming clear that until I do this, my body will react with cysts and the like....
Again, thank you for your incredible insights everyone. They have truly helped me gain a clearer picture! (And I just thought a silly transit would tell me everything I needed to know!!)
BTW-- my birthdata if you'd like to take a look. 8-20-70 Cincinnati, OH 11:24 PM.

I don't know if I can add anything much more useful to this rather than study-
So many brilliant points and issues have been brought up here-
My whole family (me, husband, son) have Neptune in the 6th house- my husband and I with it in Scorpio (a generational thing) but our 6th house cusps start off in different places, such as his being in Libra (with a Quincux from Venus in Aries in the 11th to Neptune in Scorpio in the 6th) Mine Scorpio rules my 6th, with my Pluto being very much in the 4th house in Virgo with a conjunction to the Moon there-
And then finally I have to wonder about my son, as his health is rather "perfect" in spite of a Neptune in Aquarious in the 6th but at the beginging of his 6th house cusp he has Ceres in Capricorn - the people I know who have Ceres in Capricorn (which turns out to be quite a few!) have a tendancy to be quite thin, almost too thin I feel- For my interpretation Capricorn is a tight space of control, and that can feel like a limiting factor and Ceres being "Nutrition" but it can also incourage a long steady strong growth but for me it feels like "denyal" or even lack of food.. (I have Ceres in Libra in the 5th in opposition to Saturn so maybe I feel these energies in THIS particular way)
It comes to my mind that the 6th house is your daily environment, lifestyle, how you take care of yourself.. or others and that the 1st house is the energy you are born with, and how you "handle" the day to day... I would also add that my 1st house ruler is placed in my 12th, my 12th house ruler placed in my 1st and thus how I personally handle things may be just by trying to work out the "inner perspective" and "outer projection" (My first house ruler is Mercury, conjunct my Gemini Asc in the 12th) My first house planets are Mars, Sun, Venus- with Venus being the ruler of my 12th house and 5th house... How I am accustomed to being is quite healthy, although occasionally in life I have suffered suddenly very powerful and long lasting fevers and such- but never used to feel so tired or "dragged out" as I do now, and yet I keep bouncing back. Apperantly there is a part of me that refuses to believe I am sick when I am, and so do the people around me.. (Neptune 6th house family) I got menigitis three years ago from chicken pox, and let me tell you, NO one let me rest, and I am paying for it now.. (Possibly Pluto transiting my Natal Mercury and then on to an Opposition to my ASC) I will more than likely find myself feeling the extremes between my very good and very bad health.. but before I got the chicken pox I was training to run in a 10 kilometer race. This last Feb. I started a body building plan, and had to abandon it about 7 weeks into it after getting a cold I couldn't exactly "shake off".. and I've been having trouble breathing, and finally when it was all over, I got sick with not one, but two mysterious infections.. I don't want to blame Pluto completely as I am also considering my Progressed Chart and My progressed Full Moon-
I didn't know that the progressed aspect to the moon (full or new) can resduce vitality, supposedly, not only that but my ASC has progressed to 29 degrees Cancer, and will change to 0 degrees Leo by Feb 2007. So I will "wait it out". But my husband in this period of time will also be experiencing his progressed full moon- in a few months, and finally Next year some time he too will progress to 29 degrees Cancer and progress to Leo also..
It is quite obvious that we are interconnected by ways that are mysterious to me, and that I find it even more ironic that his progressed full moon will happen at 9 degrees Cancer (my Natal sun) (his sun progressed to Cancer while his Moon P Capricorn)
I just thought I'd add some information I find interesting that I am just now discovering, I hope it wasn't just a bunch of jumbled facts...
Take care all! Thanks for an interesting thread!

Thanks Sven, for you clear insights.
Erato, I'll look at your chart and see if I can add anything when I get a break--next week perhaps?
I'm glad you found meaning in the astro-health information. That's another book I'd love to see published!
Warmly, Kim

Post by primamateria on Sept 11, 2006 1:54:41 GMT
what a great thread... something I can really relate to as a follower of archetypal/alchemical psychology which teaches that 'in symptom is soul'....
I always believed that biology equals biography, but thought of them as separate and distinct - now it seems clearer that with a view of soul as being part of the body, that the two are one in the same, or aspects of one whole.
Sv, I have Ceres in Cap, and have been told I'm too thin... but part of the reason for this is that I can't eat WHEAT! If I do eat wheat products I get very overweight... and have been known to gain as much as 35 kg in pregnancy - I look like Venus of Willendorf ... all belly and pendulous breasts... lol a startling transformation from flat-chested, mercurial ballerina. That will never happen again!
...and I have scorpio on the sixth house cusp - with Neptune and Pars Fortunae... I heal myself through my own efforts, especially through meditation and other soul activities - which reminds me of Mercury in 12 - which I have too, with Gem on the Asc (mercury is nine degrees from the ascendant though)... really this feels like being very sensitive to the collective unconscious - someone put it as 'who's mind is it anyway?'... which I've discovered as a need to be self-protective and not get caught up in waves of collective thought which may be degrading to the psyche and therefore harmful to the immune system... which is why I don't watch TV... and careful of what music I listen to...(merc opp neptune - too susceptable to the illusion but capable of manifesting things very easily). Do you suffer from sore throat/tonsilitis? Shortness of breath is very Gem asc - I have this problem too... have to remind myself to breathe!
peace, all. pm

With extremes like that (although Ceres is like Pluto because of the transformative qualities I would think that the extremes would be related to the Moon, Jupiter or even Pluto in relation to the ASC ruler, the cusp of the ASC or the Sixth house or Six house ruler ect) With Neptune on the 6th house I have discovered there is no "absolutely correct" way to eat. I've been a vegan for a number of years and have known people who are totally fruitarians so I am guessing that humanities variations are so that perhaps grains are not ALWAYS the answer for energy and growth, that most people have to find their correct way of eating. My son doesn't exactly love his grains as much as he loves Veg and Fruit.. some days he will spend the whole morning "grazing" in the garden when everything is in season. Its just the way humans are built I guess. I see Ceres as the ruler over growing things, particularly grains but also fruits and flowers and yet Dionysus (and Baccaus) are under the juristiction of Agroculture (but then so is Apollo) and of Fruit, spacificly so when I'm out in the garden or eating some new picked fruit, I can't help but think about all the products the various symbolic Gods have juristiction over and understand the mania and extacy of Dionysus when I see all those ripe and delicious black berries, apples and blue berries.. "...and I have scorpio on the sixth house cusp - with Neptune and Pars Fortunae... I heal myself through my own efforts, especially through meditation and other soul activities - which reminds me of Mercury in 12 - which I have too, with Gem on the Asc (mercury is nine degrees from the ascendant though)... really this feels like being very sensitive to the collective unconscious - someone put it as 'who's mind is it anyway?'... which I've discovered as a need to be self-protective and not get caught up in waves of collective thought which may be degrading to the psyche and therefore harmful to the immune system... which is why I don't watch TV... and careful of what music I listen to...(merc opp neptune - too susceptable to the illusion but capable of manifesting things very easily). Do you suffer from sore throat/tonsilitis? Shortness of breath is very Gem asc - I have this problem too... have to remind myself to breathe!..." I think there is a connection between the passive watching of TV and poor health in most people.. and yet this is where my husband sits, he bought this huge monster of a TV and I'm a bit annoyed by the amount of engery and time the thing sucks out of our lives. I can see it as a huge Cultural question, and not just a personal thing. But at the same time its good to be able to actually choose something educational and informative when you want it..I sort of love cartoons and so I have my husband collecting my faves from the internet. I think you are correct though, there is so much to fight against when it comes to just viewing TV, if you sit there and take it all in, regaurdless, you get messages which are not always healthy, and so my mind sets in and turns it almost always into some kind of parrody, especially how families (American ones) are portrayed on TV, how "perfect" they seem and how life just seems to be easy with children and a job ect.. its an illusion I feel the urge to constantly comment on, even if it is one of the well loved shows such as "Bill Cosby" where the house is always clean and the kids are always talking to their parents..and both parents WORK. (who has time for 6 kids? and work too? you got to admire that infrastructure as there are other programs that totally degrade the family system as well). Excuse my ranting I used to suffer quite alot from sore throats, but I think it was an "inablity to express" problem.. and now sometimes I think the shortness of breath becomes an "inablity to breathe" problem... Freedom. I'm still adjusting and looking into it, but I am securely in the grips of a life that probably could use not only a bit of freedom, but perhaps a bit of taking things over and pushing them in my direction as well. Take care and thanks, I'm thinking too much yet AGAIN! svenskasfinx

Post by Juliet on Sept 11, 2006 9:15:35 GMT
This is strange! I missed all the new contributions, while I loved the thread when it started... Erato, are cysts just like myoms sensitive to hormones? I know that myoms are supposed to disappear when menopause hits. How do you express you Sun-Mars conjunction in Leo? I guess expressing that Leonine energy is all the more important to you since Pluto is in Leo's natural house. Wonder if someone already suggested it, but I associate cysts far more with cyst forming then Pluto. Unexpressed Pluto is more explosive, breaks down the structures. U.e. Saturn solidifies/petrifies them. I guess with Saturn on your Sun-Moon conjunction now is the perfect time to use discipline to live that Sun-Mars in full. Saturn is also where our existential shame and embarrasment is. Why the left ovary, I wonder? Left is the more anima like side of the body, isn't it? Where is your Venus?? Oh, in 6. What sign? Moon in Aries or Tau? I believe that getting authentic all boils down to what Thomas Moore writes in Care of the Soul. To take care of your Soul in small and big things: from knowing what teas you like to what colours you like best to what kind of people you seek out as friends. All these small and bigger steps get you along on your individual (and shared) path. It's a huge braid, everything falls in it's place when one starts. Emotions, tastes, work, friendships. Being/getting authentic is a process of commitment to one's self. Amoroso, wonderful to see all the Mars energy in your chart summed up! Love it. Girl, all of my 8th house is bubbling up to finally start that thread. Ana, I've actually wondered myself if I have some allergy to grains or carbs. I surely have a sugar-addiction, and used to devour potatoes. When a child, I could not swallow bread, I really hated the taste and the feel. When on the veggies and fruit and low glycemic carb diet I only started to feel weak when the heat wave struck! But there were a lot of people not feeling that well then, salt-fluids balance, I guess. Just this morning I decided to give it another try. Kim, is the DC such an important angle in health? The first chakra energy used to be the cause of one of my health problems too: I had reumatoid arthritis in my Sacrum, and two disk surgeries there. But that was ten years ago. My vital energies were very high when I was in a very intense and playful sexual relationship (ruler of 5, 6 and 8 in 8, conjunct Mars), and it definitely has a huge effect on my mood and health when I don't have one, and when I lost it. I tried all Scorpionic avenues to keep it, but it did not work. Stellium in 8. I'm still struggling with how I need to manage all my libido/anger in a healthy way. Martial arts? Consciously developing my psychic talents? I'm convinced the three biking accidents of the last two years were related to this libido-handling too. Don't know how, but I'm sure of it. And it's not all about breaking down or destruction at all, but also freed new energy. Someone once told me: 'You could lift a car when your kid was under it, but you need to learn how to be the boss over all that energy.' Basically this is my biggest issue now: how to handle desire? How to share it? NN/MC conjunct in Scorpio, and rulers in 8, conjunct my Sun. How to handle desire other then driving down men with tractors, I mean, which is not perceived as terribly alluring and sexy somehow. I started Hatha Yoga two days before my last accident, and we worked on the first chakra. Love to all, Juliet

Lots of thoughts and ideas to think about on this thread.....nice
I am going to look at all my friends now to relate weight to Ceres... I just had a Jupiter transit over mine 4 Sco and got to the heaviest since being pregnant due to a enthusiastic appetite that came over me for a while But it was not dramatic unless I looked in the bathroom mirror sideways starkers with eyes open.......... Kim Why is headaches Moon? Water pressure? In various therapies one relates the liver to anger which is Mars? And they relate headaches to deranged liver They talk about digestive fire related to Mars and damp in the body putting out the fire Rudolf Steiner said that gas in the intestines rose to the brain causing digestive headaches -Neptune? Headaches have several diff causes

Juliet:
Very interesting observations. There is so much to consider.
To answer your questions.
I've never heard of myoms, but my body seems to be extremely sensitive. I do think I have to pay special attention to hormones in the foods I eat. A former OB/GYN told me she didn't think it was a coincidence that cysts formed after I started eating meat again-- after a 13 year absence. Now I must limit my intake. The same thing with dairy products. My body does NOT like it at all.
How do you express you Sun-Mars conjunction in Leo?
I actually have a lot of trouble with that one. My lovely Leo combo is hit by squares to both Saturn and Neptune-- which are in opposition to one another. I am very cautious by nature, and probably more fearful than one might expect (being a Leo, with Leo ruling the 5th house, and with Sun and Moon in fire signs). I am not a "look at me" in a Paris Hilton kind of way girl. Actually, I'm a "please don't look at me-- focus on someone else" kind of girl. I attribute this to Saturn's influence. More sober than exuberant. I would venture to say Saturn is one of my, if not the strongest planet in my chart.
I am very interested to find out how I react to Saturn transiting over this conjunction. Saturn "hits" Mars within orb on Wednesday, and I'm suppose to feel this energy until July of '07. It just transited over my progressed Moon, and will hit my natal Sun in November. Luckily, I've had this energy my entire life, and I find it much easier to handle now as opposed to when I was younger.
Saturn is also where our existential shame and embarrassment is.
Yes, I would agree with that. I think it goes hand and hand with fear. Always afraid I'd make a wrong move and embarrass myself. Though right now, I don't feel this way. Quite the opposite. In many ways I've never felt more comfortable with myself. I feel very secure, and I am quite happy-- which is why this cyst thing has thrown me. I'm like- "what am I missing??" What is that missing piece?
Why the left ovary, I wonder?
An acupuncturist told me the left side of the body had to do with giving and receiving love, and the ovary motherhood (I could be wrong on that point), but she immediately asked me if I had "mother issues" when I told her my medical history. When I asked how she knew, she said she came into contact with many patients who had challenges with their left ovary and unresolved issues with their mothers. I thought it was interesting. But she swore the two went hand in hand.
Where is your Venus?? Oh, in 6. What sign?
Libra, widely conjunct Uranus (though I feel this vibration a lot), and widely opposite the moon.
My Moon is in Aries--but it's in deep in the 12th.
One thing about my chart-- Almost all my planets (with the exception of Venus and Uranus) can be found between 21 & 28 degrees. So when an outer planet is transiting, it will hit my chart like a pinball machine.... (Same with midpoints).

When Sat went over my 12Leo Sun in 3 recently I felt mega frustrated by circumstances and changed them Phone did not ring and I had little to say to anyone either Leaden weight on my energy and emotions There was an unaccustomed ability to finish what I started and organise my life Still a bit like that but improving..... My friend Ant with 12 Mars Pluto Saturn Leo was tetchy but it did not seem to exacerbate his heart problems happily Left side is females in your life and right side is men in your life including your own m and f sides If you have a pain anywhere you can often identify someone who has upset you that day but you did not speak up out of politemess or timidiity or cos it was unfair to be annoyed The body seems to demand absolute authenticity moment to momemt There's various ways to clear the pain Being honest to yourself is the start Just thought maybe yoga and tai chi etc are a kind of physical confessional that clears these things too
