My Solar Return Chart Project

This is my Solar Return (Sun returns to the exact degree and sign it was at when you were born) Chart starting on my birthday 2014 ending 2015.

I am going to attempt to apply the knowledge I gain in astrology to my solar return chart as I go.  I feel this is an important year and I really need to learn about this chart as well as my natal chart.


The Elements:
• Fire: "These signs are fiery, ardent (passionate), enthusiastic, spontaneous, self-sufficient, and romantic.  Misused they can be bossy and too forceful." (1p6)
• Aries
• My 6th House starts here.
• My 7th House starts here.
• Uranus
• Leo
• My 10th House starts here.
• This is also my MC/Midheaven.
• Moon
• Sagittarius
• My 3rd House starts here.
• Earth: "These signs are practical, earthy, dependable, conservative and sensual.  They love material comforts and have good recuperative powers.  Misused, they can be dull and too materialistic." (1p6)
• Taurus
• My 8th House starts here.
• Venus
• Virgo
• My 11th House starts here.
• Capricorn
• Pluto
• Air: "These signs can communicate well; they tend to be intellectual, and they are able to handle abstract reasoning.  They are logical, broadminded, objective, idealistic and unprejudiced.  Misused, they can be cold and impractical." (1p6)
• Gemini
• My 9th House starts here.
• Sun
• Libra
• My 12th House starts here.
• My 1st House starts here.
• This is also my AC/Ascendant.
• Mars
• North Node
• Aquarius
• My 4th House starts here.
• Water: "These signs are feeling, sustaining and receptive.  They are emotional, intuitive, responsive, sensitive and deep.  They tend to be susceptible to moods, and are easily influenced by the environment.  Remember that water is found in three forms: liquid (water), frozen (ice), and gaseous (steam). Cancer is the liquid form; Scorpio is the frozen form, and Pisces is the gaseous form.  Misused, these signs can be self-indulgent, self-pitying and wavering." (1p6)
• Cancer (liquid water)
• Mercury
• Jupiter
• Scorpio (frozen ice)
• My 2nd House starts here.
• Saturn
• Pisces (gaseous steam)
• My 5th House starts here.
• Neptune
• Chiron


Both Air and Water are tied for majority influence in my nature/personality for the year.  I feel as though I need to explain the way I feel about describing someone's personality for the year.  I know you are who you are and the core of your personality may not change.  However if you are evolving you will incorporate other aspects into your personality to try to achieve balance of all of the elements.  That is the way I see it anyway.  The most influential element in my natal chart is also air.  So this year I will maintain my airy qualities.  In an effort to evolve this year I am tasked with learning about my water type characteristics and try to achieve a nice balance of both.


So how to a balance Air
"These signs can communicate well; they tend to be intellectual, and they are able to handle abstract reasoning.  They are logical, broadminded, objective, idealistic and unprejudiced.  Misused, they can be cold and impractical." (1p6)
And water
 "These signs are feeling, sustaining and receptive.  They are emotional, intuitive, responsive, sensitive and deep.  They tend to be susceptible to moods, and are easily influenced by the environment.  Remember that water is found in three forms: liquid (water), frozen (ice), and gaseous (steam). Cancer is the liquid form; Scorpio is the frozen form, and Pisces is the gaseous form.  Misused, these signs can be self-indulgent, self-pitying and wavering." (1p6)
To evolve personally in this year's divine timing?


First I have to say that the air and water combination reminds me of Aquarius.  Aquarius is called the "Water Bearer" but is an air sign.  Many people don't understand how this could be.  When I see Aquarius and thus the water and air combination, I see the clouds.  I think they are a perfect representation of this combination.  The water held in the air going from place to place releasing the mists of life.


Ok anyway back to what I need to learn from this for the coming solar year.
I believe this is an indicator that it is time to learn more about my feelings.  I need to learn to be more receptive.  Acknowledge, understand, and communicate my feelings.  Learn things on a deeper level.  I need to be more sensitive to my intuition and my ideals.  Not just learning information and communicating it but feeling it at the same time.  It is time to experiment with and experience the knowledge I have gained.  I need to be  unprejudiced, objective and broadminded when responding to the needs of others.  When I feel I am being influenced to much by the environment and those around me I need to look at those feelings from a more logical and intellectual point of view.  Water will definitely help with trying not to be cold and impractical.  Just as Air can really help with not becoming self-indulgent and self-pitying.  It is a good combination to try and practice.

My Natal Chart Project

This is the my very basic natal chart:



I am going to be applying the information I learn about astrology to my natal chart as I go.


The Elements:
• Fire: "These signs are fiery, ardent (passionate), enthusiastic, spontaneous, self-sufficient, and romantic.  Misused they can be bossy and too forceful." (1p6)
• Aries
• My 3rd House starts here.
• Leo
• Sagittarius
• My 11th House starts here.
• My 12th House starts here.
• Uranus
• Neptune
• Earth: "These signs are practical, earthy, dependable, conservative and sensual.  They love material comforts and have good recuperative powers.  Misused, they can be dull and too materialistic." (1p6)
• Taurus
• My 4th House starts here.
• Venus
• Chiron (listed but not interpreted until I find other resources)
• Virgo
• My 8th House starts here.
• Capricorn
• My 1st House starts here.
• This is also my AC/Ascendant
• Air: "These signs can communicate well; they tend to be intellectual, and they are able to handle abstract reasoning.  They are logical, broadminded, objective, idealistic and unprejudiced.  Misused, they can be cold and impractical." (1p6)
• Gemini
• My 5th House starts here.
• My 6th House starts here.
• Mercury
• Sun
• Libra
• My 9th House starts here.
• Mars
• Saturn
• Pluto
• Aquarius
• Water: "These signs are feeling, sustaining and receptive.  They are emotional, intuitive, responsive, sensitive and deep.  They tend to be susceptible to moods, and are easily influenced by the environment.  Remember that water is found in three forms: liquid (water), frozen (ice), and gaseous (steam). Cancer is the liquid form; Scorpio is the frozen form, and Pisces is the gaseous form.  Misused, these signs can be self-indulgent, self-pitying and wavering." (1p6)
• Cancer (liquid water)
• My 7th House starts here.
• North Node
• Scorpio (frozen ice)
• My 10th House starts here.
• This is my MC/Midheaven as well.
• Jupiter
• Moon
• Pisces (gaseous steam)
• My 2nd House starts here




Air is the most influential element in my Natal chart.  So the nature/personality I was born with would tend to be mostly infused with the qualities this element brings.
"These signs can communicate well; they tend to be intellectual, and they are able to handle abstract reasoning.  They are logical, broadminded, objective, idealistic and unprejudiced.  Misused, they can be cold and impractical."

Midnight Stealth Awesome Report 6

To attract more good things you have to realize the good things you already have or do!  LOA this is why I share my accomplishments with you.  Hoping to attract more of what I feel is good!

Publishing;

I updated my blog post that covers information on the element of Fire in Astrology.  It shows the Fire element on a natural wheel, natal chart, and solar return chart now.  I used my personal charts as examples.  It also asks 2 questions of the reader, hoping for more reader engagement.

1. What is located in the fire signs on your natal chart?
2. Is your natal chart fire dominant?

Art:

I wrapped my moldavite crystal with jewelry wire so I can wear it as a necklace.  It is a kind of square cut so I thought a star would hold it nicely without any risk of the stone coming out.  I like the way it turned out.  What do you think?  I would like to get some better jewelry wire.

I also completed the book pattern portion on my afghan.  I am just adding flowers now to make it as big as my bed.

Midnight Stealth Awesome Report 4

Since my Twitter stats get to me on Tuesday mornings I have adjusted the publish date of my reports to compensate.  Twitter stats are #awesome! 

My numbers will equalize with my next report…since I switched days!

In publishing:

More people have been viewing my blog throughout the week!  Awesome!  Here is a screen shot from my blogger dash board:

Screen clipping taken: 5/13/2014, 7:15 AM

It looks like my article Thoughtful Food was the most popular article of the week, with 25 page views.  It covers foods that may help with headaches and migraine and over all nervous system/brain health.

Yea!  I earned $0.26 this week.  This is more than my weekly average for the 9 months I have been blogging.  I will get this up to $0.99/week to enable my vision goal of purchasing one song per week.  Making it kind of a game with something I like helps keep me motivated!  Here is a screen shot from adsense:

In arts and crafts:

I worked on my Jewel of an Afghan blanket some on Mother's day!  I only have 3 or 4 more flowers to go until the pattern is done.

I also started on a vision board…I only got the grill and my husband started but great things are already happening…

Featured piece of the week:

This is my vision of the air element within the zodiac.  I separated the air element from the other elements in my painting of the elements of the zodiac.  So the air signs are shown in their actual locations on the natural wheel.  I also added the positive key words about the personality the air element and it's signs tend to show.  This would be a lovely piece or gift for any Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius.  It also would be a great piece to have if you are a teacher of astrology, combining the beauties of art and knowledge.  As always you can view or purchase all of my completed works of art in my virtual gallery http://www.artpal.com/MidnightStealth You can even buy coffee mugs with my work on it.  An awesome gift idea for teacher appreciation week especially if they are your astrology teacher.

Research:

• Qu-say-u (Anasazi Ancient Warrior ancestor):  I have exhausted all of my daily research resources including the Library's online research database.  Since I haven't been able to find any new information on this ancestor I am converting this topic of research to a long term goal.  When ever possible I will visit the local University's library as well as attempt contact with descendent tribe members to try and obtain as much information on the ancestor legends as possible.  I did however find an awesome piece of art showing the artist's representation of Qu-say-u.  Please go down to the art section to see the piece.
• Yu-aa-nu-taa (Talking Wind Moon magnetic season):  I have exhausted all of my daily research resources including the Library's online research database.  Since I haven't been able to find any new information on this magnetic season I am converting this topic of research to a long term goal.  When ever possible I will visit the local University's library as well as attempt contact with descendent tribe members to try and obtain as much information on the magnetic season legends as possible.

Finished articles published this week:

• Thoughtful Food - This covers the foods that may help headaches, brain function, and nervous system issues.  I have linked it to the Mars post as promised so that you may not only have the influences of Yu-aa-nu-taa but also some way to help alleviate these influences.  I  started with food because nature provides all and if we can fix something by having better nutrition that would be the best start to a healthy body.  Not to worry I will be posting remedies too, soon.  Just-in-case vitamin deficiency is not the problem.

Featured Artist:

J.W. Kelly is #awesome.  I found his picture while trying to find information on Qu-say-u.  I contacted him asking him if I could feature it in my blog.  I thought since I couldn't find any immediate information I would at least attempt to give you something nice to look at!  LOL :)  Anyway…He said YES I could use this picture in my blog.  Please if you want a copy of his picture purchase it from his site: http://fineartamerica.com/products/qu-say-u-anasazi-warrior-j-w-kelly-canvas-print.html  So with out further or due I present Qu-say-u

Such a wonderful picture!  Thank you J.W. Kelly

Also I have still been playing with trying to get the #Aries truck to look right.  I think I need some digital art software other than MS Paint and MS Power Point.  They usually do the job but I think it's time for an awesome upgrade!
