I don't think you need me to allow anything but I do stand by what I wrote above. I do think the relations/relationship area will ease significantly even if it takes some more decisive actions to be taken and I'm good in cutting off all kinds of limbs and people. LOL
That was before I found Chris Brennan's note which I mentioned in this particular bout. My opinion still leans towards the Schmidt approach of using the sign ruler. But as I've not tested the Brennan view, I really do need to point it out. As I think I said, once you start to allow for planets that are configured to the sign, then It's going to come near to most of them active, most of the time, as you would see from your Pisces period, as Mars, Moon, Venus and Sun are all configured natally, and for your Aries period Jupiter, Mars, Moon, Mercury and Saturn are configured natally. And that is not counting transits.
I become very wary each time I read an astrologer who finds it necessary to include seven planets to prove a point. Even five is a stretch, IMHO. I definitely prefer to stick to the sign ruler and/or a planet in the sign which seems significant in the natal chart. If indeed the method works, it should work with two-thre planets at most, otherwise it turns into a "bread and circuses" type of activity and it's not my cup of tea. So, I'll follow up and see if and when it works. Currently there is a very strong building tension whcih amy very well explode in a Jupiterian action: court. However, with these Time Lords and with the solar returns for this and next year, I'm ready to battle. And to win, of course, there is simply no other option. I should also add that once Saturn left Scorpio and released the reigns, I've started feeling the usual boiling sensation and made it clear two times already that things will be taken to officials if change doesn't happen and soon. And I mean it.
OK so you married in a Jupiter period and the marriage brought you your son.
That's not what i wrote. I didn't mention children at all. To me an event is beneficial when it brings a change far deeper than giving birth (not that it's not important but it shouldn't be necessary for a change to occur). In this case it brought out a new "me", a completely different person, taught me a broader view, wisdom and helped me learn how to deal with parts of my natal chart, namely 7th house aspects, changed my phylosophy in a drastic way and most probably for the rest of my life, not to mention granted me optimism I wouldn't suspect I possessed. In short, it was Jupiterian, though not necessarily easy. On the other hand, looking back, probably due to Jupiter's influence, it wasn't a suffer at all, either. LOL This may be due to the egotism of all fixed signs, not to Jupiter.
It should not have been a disaster with Jupiter in overall 'command' but Mars is in your seventh Place and that has caused trouble, as you indicate in your post, your ex is still causing problems. Overall, as you said, it hasn't been for the worse, because Jupiter is stronger than Mars by placement. But that doesn't mean that there hasn't been negative issue that have been quite strong.
No, not a disaster. The problems are still ongoing because I am a Mercury/Venus in mutual reception person. Virgo and Libra insists on a milder approach and pull the brakes until it all explodes and it's near. Once it's dealt with legally, no more problems will be experienced as this is not a person who would dare to break a law or cross a boundary established by law (but explained to him personally and not by me LOL).
By sign, Mars and your Sun are trine. So whilst Mars is 'malefic' this is not a very negative relationship Yes by degree they are only two degrees off a square,
No, they are not. Mars and Sun are in pure trine by degree. Did you look at the Moon while you were writing this?
