Annual profections are a symbolic timing technique that dates back to some of the earliest recorded astrological writings. Essentially, for each year of your life, starting at the first house when you are born, one house of your chart is activated and especially prominent, shining a spotlight on the topics of the house, the planets in it, and the domicile ruler of that house’s sign. On the day you are born, you enter your “first house year”, activating the topics of life, the body, and the soul’s entrance into the physical world. When you reach your first birthday, you enter your second house year, and this cycle repeats itself year after year. Eventually, you will come all the way back to the first house at age 12, when you have made it around the full circle of the zodiacal wheel and your natal chart for the first time. These cycles create patterns throughout our lifetime, and it can be especially helpful to investigate what occurred in your life twelve years prior to understand what a particular profection year might have in store for you. https://www.rowastrology.com/blog/transits-in-real-time-venus-besiegement monthly 0.5 2022-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6130b7f7ea387366d68ec8/c705fe63-ce99-49c8-839d-d063085fd0ca/2.png Blog - transits in real time: venus’ besiegement - The actual application appointment. I don’t think you could ask for a worse chart to sign paperwork. L1, the Sun, in its detriment, conjunct Saturn. The moon in my 12H - a transit I try to avoid doing anything during this moon year - averse from L4 Mars and the lord of the IC, Venus. Shit. South node in the 4H. Double shit. L7 - the other party - Saturn is in domicile and is the final dispositor of the IC. Okay, so they’re in control. The moon is separating from Saturn (L7) and applying to the Sun (L1), which honestly is the only saving grace of this chart. I thought, okay, well, at least the moon’s not void, it’s applying a trine to the Sun. It’s translating its light to the Sun in a positive aspect. There’s some hope, right? Note the Mercury-Venus-Mars-Pluto averse from both L1 and L7. That’ll be relevant later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6130b7f7ea387366d68ec8/9cfb242e-8f29-4076-97b9-e9595ddc490e/3.png Blog - transits in real time: venus’ besiegement - Notice of Intent to Move Out Unfortunately, Mercury ruling-and-averse-to the IC from the 8H speaks volumes here. We’re leaving because they increased our rent, but without a 100% guarantee that we’ll have a new apartment. Our housing is ruled from the Idle Place. Plus, the moon’s void, oops. Ruh-roh, Scoob. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6130b7f7ea387366d68ec8/2a85970a-5bfb-4fc1-bab3-16955b3c30b0/7.png Blog - transits in real time: venus’ besiegement - AirBnB host kicks us out of our rental. That Saturn-DSC, South Node-IC is loud. And painful. I honestly don’t have much more I can say about it. This was an awful and traumatic experience for myself, my partner, and especially our cats. I’m not going to delineate any further, but this is the chart of the moment for that experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6130b7f7ea387366d68ec8/8af987b3-2250-4b77-8a76-56447a7a0524/5.png Blog - transits in real time: venus’ besiegement - Just for flavor, the chart of when we realized our guitars had been stolen. Remember when I said that we couldn’t escape Cancer rising charts? I swear it’s the only sign that’s risen all month. Moon’s opposing Uranus and applying to Jupiter, who happens to be hanging out with Mercury right on top of my natal south node. Talk about Venus’ besiegement - Uranus stole our fucking musical instruments! What the hell! Poor Venus. Poor us. RIP Ferdie (my guitar). You will be sorely missed, my beautiful mahogany acoustic. Thankfully, both of these instruments have been used by my partner in a work context, as they’ve taught lessons with both of the instruments, so we’re still praying for some insurance reimbursement. Let’s go Venus in the 8H?? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6130b7f7ea387366d68ec8/0f776859-4115-46c9-a087-759614b5ea62/6.png Blog - transits in real time: venus’ besiegement - Mutual Aid Request If you guessed Cancer, you’ve been keeping up. Venus is ruling the IC from the 8H again, but this time, the IC is in the whole-sign 4H and receives its ruler by a trine rather the aversion we’ve been dealing with. The moon is breaking through the Venus-Mars conjunction and applying to Venus. It’s my partner’s lunar return. Exalted Sun on the MC with the Part of Fortune - the post is visible. It gains traction quickly. We’re able to stay on our feet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6130b7f7ea387366d68ec8/0c2aa18d-3c35-4505-bcd3-79753beb9a3d/4.png Blog - transits in real time: venus’ besiegement - Final Application Corrections Appointment Most people wouldn’t use a Cancer rising/Scorpio moon chart if they were threatened about it, but this is my exact lunar return. Please, moon, we’re besties - let’s get this apartment. The moon is exactly trine to the AC and MC, so even though she’s fallen, we’re all doing our best. Jupiter-Mercury applying - god, please, let’s just get this done. We speak with someone we hadn’t worked with before who actually seems to know what she’s doing and treats us kindly, understanding the situation that we are now literally homeless waiting for our file to be approved. For once, we’re treated with some actual urgency and immediacy about our situation. We finish our paperwork and our file is finally actually complete. Our file gets resubmitted to the auditors the same day, but as it’s Sunday, they might not get back to us until Tuesday or Wednesday with an auditor response. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6130b7f7ea387366d68ec8/0db8b817-cc06-49a1-900b-6149e33b053f/8.png Blog - transits in real time: venus’ besiegement - Lease Signed, Moving In, Nightmare Over The moon at 26º Capricorn is 1º past my partner’s IC at 25º Capricorn. 13º Cancer rising is my exact natal AC. Yes, L1 is in detriment, as it was in the initial application chart. L1 in 7H is so obviously signing paperwork for contracts, I suppose. Venus is still enclosed but is on her way out. She happened to sextile my natal Saturn on this day. Very sweet of her. But I’ll fucking take it. This apartment is beautiful, it’s cheap, and it’s a place to call home. Our nightmare has finally, truly, fully ended. We are safely and stably housed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6130b7f7ea387366d68ec8/5dbdb44c-496e-4e3f-abcd-e3f5f4eb884b/1.png Blog - transits in real time: venus’ besiegement - Initial Application Appointment I start reaching out to the complex as Venus retrograde finishes up, and schedule an appointment to apply in person on February 7th at 2pm. Pretty good chart. Exalted moon in Taurus as L1, applying to a trine with its ruler Venus in the 7H. Mercury Mars and Venus straddle the DSC, not ideal to have an angular Mars in a day chart, but what can you do. https://www.rowastrology.com/blog/why-queer-astrology monthly 0.5 2022-03-07
