Dearest Master,
I am a big fan of yours, know all your English language books almost by heart and have been practicing active astrology for 10 years. I have looked at MyAstral and find it very very useful. Thank you very much for making this tool available to your prospective clients for an affordable price. However, I have some questions about the software:
You write that the calculation of the suggested locations is based on the 34 rules. But to what extent is the birth chart included in the calculation? Examples:
Rule #14: “The Ascendant of SR falling in the 10th House along with a bad transit of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto […] announces noticeable damages: […] ”
> At the moment I have very hard transits exactly as you describe. However, MyAstral actually suggests places with an AC in the 10th house.
Rule #17: “Transits and Solar Returns heighten what already potentially exists. If, say, Jeff has a bad natal Uranus in his 8th House, when transiting Uranus goes into opposition with its own natal position, you can obviously expect serious financial crisis for him.”
> This is exactly what I have at the moment: Uranus in opposition to my Uranus in my natal 8th house. In a proposed SR, Uranus is placed in the 8th house.
And the 3rd question: in SRs with the condition “Love”, SRs with a Saturn in the 5th house are also suggested. Is a Saturn in the 5th house actually purposeful for love?
Thank you very much for an answer.
Vanessa
Good morning Vanessa. Welcome.
The example you mentioned (an Ascendant in the 10th House of SR contemporary with bad transits like…) is one of those few cases where it is really important that the MyAstral User is an astrologer and not an office employee municipal aqueduct. In fact, as you yourself understood, the rule is very simple, but a judgment of this type needs “human” supervision to validate its content 100%.
You already know, having read or studied my books, that this slight uncertainty whether or not he accepts an Ascendant in the tenth House of SR is related, above all, to the work that the User carries out: if it is a “dangerous” job, in the sense that the User could be fired at any moment, then this position in the Solar Return cannot be accepted.
Conversely, if the Subject has a permanent job, for example one of those state jobs where it is almost impossible to be fired, then it is possible to run this risk.
This also applies to the second topic you mentioned: Uranus in the eighth House and possible financial losses.
Instead, as regards your third question, if you post precise birth data and cite an equally precise example, I will be happy to answer you on this topic as well.
Dear Ciro,
thank you very much for your quick reply.
Regarding the third question: This was the SR I looked for my brother. His birth data is 01/03/1971, 07:35 am, Salzburg, Austria. In the huge result list for SR 2023 and “love” were many airports in Russia, Ukraine and Africa. But also some airports in Iceland with a high star ranking, which have besides the Sun also Saturn in the 5th house, in addition to Venus and Jupiter in the 7th house. I was a bit surprised about Saturn in the 5th, but maybe it’s not an obstacle and Sun and Venus/Jupiter are stronger in this case?
Many thanks, Vanessa
Please, tell me if you were born on March 1st or January 3rd.
Dear Ciro,
my brother“s birthday is March 1st.
Regards, Vanessa
OK, Vanessa, with your brother’s accurate birth data, we can verify what you’re reporting and we’ll see that MyAstral is right.
Let’s take an example: in Arkhangelsk, Russia, we have Venus and Jupiter in the 5th House and your brother scores a magnificent 10 stars!
Second example: in Tambov, Russia, almost identical situation, but the stars are 8 because Mars in the seventh House removes 2.
Third example: in Malmo, Sweden, 8 stars because Neptune in the fifth House removes two stars.
Fourth example: I think it is the one you are referring to in the comment and it concerns Iceland, in Talknafjörður, for example. Here we have 9 stars because Saturn in the fifth House removes two, but we cannot fail to notice that in the seventh House there are Venus and Jupiter and, in the fifth House, in addition to Saturn, there are the Sun and Mercury.
Therefore it is correct that with Saturn in fifth there are many stars.
Obviously, if I had to decide for myself, I would have no doubts and would choose Arkhangelsk in Russia, removing both Mars and Saturn from the Houses of love.
Thank you for your explanation. Yes, Arkhangelsk is certainly the best option. But flights to Russia are inconvenient and expensive right now. That’s why I wanted to look for another option for him. Thank you very much, Ciro.
Vanessa, let me say that this is fake news or, if you prefer, an “urban legend”: it is not true that you cannot fly to Russia or that flights within Russia are very expensive. My wife Daniela and I continued to fly to Russia and Siberia, during the pandemic and during the war, with very few problems. In one of my latest books (“50 Lunar Returns”), Daniela explained in every detail her trip to Irkutsk last April and “disassembled”, piece by piece, any false news about it.
Good morning, Ciro,
I imagine you’re already back from your birthday trip and that you’re doing well. I wish you all the very best for the year ahead.
As for me, I’m getting ready to leave for Votkinsk, Russia, the location you recommended. I’ve already obtained my visa, and thanks to the online application process, everything was very straight forward.
However, I’m having some last-minute doubts, and I’d like to ask your opinion about another location as well: Nova Sintra, Capo Verde Islands (24°41’44″W, 14°52’14″N).
1. As you’ll see, Saturn falls in the 12th House there, and that’s why I’d like to ask for your advice. In the older edition of “Transits and Solar Returns”, you wrote that Saturn in the 12th House is not as malefic as Mars in the 12th House and that, if the Solar Return is otherwise quite favorable, it is more likely to bring inconveniences than genuine suffering.
My question is: have you gained new insights regarding Saturn in the 12th House since then?
2. My second question concerns Uranus in the 1st House, which also appears in the Solar Return I’m submitting to you. You wrote that Uranus in the 1st House tends to bring new ideas and a positive change in one’s outlook on life. Do you still hold the same view, or have your observations evolved over the years?
Thank you once again if you’re willing to look at the RSM for Nova Sintra and share your thoughts on both Saturn in the 12th House and Uranus in the 1st House.
P.S. I’m currently trying to rectify my birth time. I calculated my Solar Return for Nova Sintra (Cape Verde) using the following birth data: September 6, 1962, at 12:46 p.m., in Lamezia Terme (CZ), Italy.
p.s.: I see that you published the last edition of “Transit and Solar Returns, I’ll read it soon… many, many thanks at the moment..!
Dear Rose,
Let’s play fair and not attribute to me things I’ve never written, trying to make them coincide with our desires. Regardless of the edition of my seminal text on Solar Returns, whether we’re talking about the early 1990s or the one from a few days ago (the fourth), I challenge you to find a single line where I wrote that Saturn in the twelfth House “isn’t so bad”… Perhaps you’re referring to the fact that I’ve written several times, including in other books, that a Saturn in the twelfth House could lead to a broken heart, but still alive, and that with Mars in the same House, that possibility is greatly diminished in the probability calculation.
So please don’t attribute to me things I’ve never written or thought.
The same goes for Uranus in the first House when you’re no longer twenty. If you then want to put Saturn in the twelfth House and Uranus in the first in your next Solar Return, well, then I would say you are moving away by leaps and bounds from Active Astrology… And I’m sorry.
Ciro, one last question about
the ASR of Nova Sintra (Cabo Verde): Saturn in XII, Uranus in the first House and Venus in VI. Venus in this position can be protective for health problems and sufferings presumably given by the planets positions mentioned above? Thank you
Yes, Rose, in that context, Venus could be as protective as a Band-Aid on a scratched arm when you come down with pneumonia.
P.s.: vuoi forse significare che Venere è troppo debole o addirittura impropria di fronte a due giganti come Saturno e Urano (per giunta uno in XII e l’altro in prima)?
Scusami, per piacere potresti tradurre il tuo commento qui sopra in italiano? Vorrei capire bene ciò che hai inteso dirmi… la tua risposta è ironica ed anche in inglese per cui si possono immaginare varie cose. Grazie infinite!
Va bene, Rose, allora per te farò una eccezione, ma dobbiamo raccontare per bene tutto.
Mesi fa io, su tua richiesta, ti consigliai una Aimed Solar Return da urlo: 11 punti in una scala da 1 a 10!
Poi tu recentemente mi hai sottoposto, su questo spazio, un’alternativa che poteva andare bene, secondo te, e mi hai chiesto cosa ne pensassi.
Io, naturalmente, ti ho risposto che pensavo malissimo di questa alternativa perché la mia era da 11 punti in una scala da 1 a 10 e questa da te immaginata, potrebbe valere 1 o 2 punti, sempre in una scala da 1 a 10.
Tu hai insistito dicendo che nella città da te presa in considerazione vi sarebbe una Venere in sesta Casa e, allora, io, sperando di farmi capire meglio, ti ho risposto che se tu metti Saturno in dodicesima Casa e Urano in prima, entrambe posizioni pericolose per la salute di una persona che ha superato i 60 anni, l’azione di quella Venere in sesta Casa, potrebbe significare che, all’interno di una patologia seria, tipo una polmonite, applicare un cerotto sul braccio per un piccolo graffio (Venere in sesta Casa), non risolve la situazione complessiva.
Ok Ciro, chiarissimo, grazie ancora…
