If you place the shape within a circle it has 72* between each point...if you measure the inner angles on each point it measures 108*.....72* is all about creativity and 108* is all about enlightenment. Are 72* angles all about baby steps, the more you learn the closer to
enlightenment you become. 72* is the minor to the 108* major.108* is expressing life as joyful, carefree and fun, dancing in the moment with no signs of self consciousness. 72* is more creative and perhaps you still concern yourself with what others might think of your work. 108* is portrayed as dancing and musical instruments with beauty and romance portraying an exciting colourful world in which you live. What more could be asked of us. Is that why so many ancient cultures around the world dance to this day at ceremonies. We westerners of course feel very self conscious when watching them and
feel the desire to laugh but there is no doubting they are dancing free from our judgements and lack of ability to set ourselves free. Life is more vibrant around people with 108* aspects in their lives. I would
use the Dogons as an example of free dance here because they have so much more to tell us than dance if we look at the style of their dress we might also see the pattern for plasma hidden in the ceremony. Ancient cultures seem to have much longer memories than we westerners I wonder why that is. Are they the ones that have survived catastrophe in the past and continued the race after flood, wars etc.,
Is life plasma electric like the Hadron collider........a sperm penetrating the egg creating a God particle......us. Look at Shiva which is described as he but for some reason to me seems like a she or is that part of the point she or he there is no separation. Shiva does her dance beautifully outside of CERN where the large hadron collider can be found. Shiva dances the dance of creativity associated with 72* but becomes so joyful that she moves into the joyful expression of 108*........is 72* living life and reaching its peak at 108* thus creation can only be followed by destruction. Shiva is the Lord of the Dance of Venus 72* creation and Pluto 108* transformation.......at some time we are composed to dance the dance of our lives only to follow that by becoming compost. Creation and destruction is life itself. No point in wasting our 72* moments as collectively they become our 108* dance and if upon reaching that transformative point our dance is not free and without self consciousness then we will return to dance once more........eventually we will be The Lord of the Dance and our transformation can take place........we don't necessarily have to die at this point but we will in true Pluto style have been transformed. We can improve with every use of the 72* of creativity...there are five 72* opportunities and through those aspects we become more than that 72* aspect we raise our tone up by half a tone 72 + (1/2) 36 = 108* still using music as an example take C plus half a tone........our tune is now playing to C# we have raised our tone. How else might we portray ourselves now that we have raised our game......could we have an aura of light around us now that makes us more apparent to others whilst it remains invisible. The more cloaks of light from the raised tones we collect along our journey the closer we become to being an enlightened spirit of 108*. We have all met people that just seem to attract our attention and brighten our lives. We all have this opportunity, no one person is more likely to be able to cover ourselves in veils than another...... go forth and be the light of the world. The 64 codons of DNA (or the I Ching) are called light bearers..........so we are all born equal it is up to us to raise the tone, colour, or light in our lives. Venus and Pluto working together throughout our lives so when things seem to have been destroyed this might also be an opportunity for change to set you back on the right path of light. Have fun and dance freely leave self consciousness for other less enlightened souls. 72* A Happy and Productive aspect working well . I am sure this shape within buildings across the world are chosen for this very reason. Oh to be an Architect....what joy x
108* can be 72* + 36* or 1.1/2 times 72* .............108* the degree of enlightenment. There are 108 beads on Mother Mary's Rosary, 108 Earthly Temptations in life, 108 steps up to the Temple......108* is the gift of awareness or a serendipitous way of bringing things together at the right time.... I like the idea that Mother Mary may be involved in our most serendipitous moments. 72* is all about how unique you are but 108* is the best way to compliment that with the gift of enlightenment. So many times we might think we are becoming enlightened only to find ourselves back at the bottom of the steps to the Temple once more..........but these shapes and aspects come up for us over and over again........be ready for them and make the most of them. Check your own birth charts for these measurements and also by transit. 9 x 12 = 108* or all 12 stations of the Cross. There might be some hard work involved with the journey but it will be worthwhile when you reach your destination and Mother Mary will be with you throughout. We know through music we can raise or lower our DNA by 1/2 a tone so too can we improve on what we have in the birth chart 72* + 36* (half) = 108* So The Enlightenment aspect of 108* is the raised level of the 72* aspect of your own uniqueness. Go forth and shine as bright as you can.
As you can see from most of the maps on this blog you only need to be able to see one half of a map to guess what is going to be in the other half. I think that’s why the opposition aspect can be challenging but it also sees more of what is going on or has more knowledge of the matter in hand to be able to sort it out. Unlike the square which is still challenging but doesn't have so much vision.
The Quincunx which features large in my chart is all about making changes when you see things are not working out the way they ought. They can be confusing because your best intentions are not received the way you meant them to be so adapting is difficult because you need to be adapting to suit you and your life not to suit others. Getting a handle on the adaptations is what this is all about and let's face it adaptations are usually about improvements and making something better than it was before. Its very much about the clashing elements with this Trine aspect, all about a talent you have in life, one that the world cannot fail to see so long as you can be bothered to use it. Latent talent is wasted talent. Use it or the world loses it.
The sesquiquadrate is an energy that can be released through hard work. Bottled up it wont be so good but released in a positive manner and it will work well for you.135*
The Enlightenment aspect again I would love to call this Solo Man's Temple because something is going on here that brings awareness and light to the world. Love love love this aspect despite its potential for clashes it can also just about straddle three houses e.g. Pisces to Cancer can be 108* but so can Aries and Cancer and this will play out very differently but still it brings awareness.
Square aspect is so jam packed with energy you can always get done what is required of you, unless you are just plain lazy, then it may work against you. That said overdoing it can cause exhaustion and then nothing gets done so you are very active but need to rest too.
Quintile 72* another of my favourites this is all about creative output, getting your thoughts and ideas out there.
Sextile 60* is a small talent a growing talent. One that you will be working hard to make something of. This is not like the full grown talent that has become a lazy bones this is an energy that really wants to show itself and with luck it should do just that.
The Wisdom aspect is a division of the chart by lucky 7. 51.45* So if your a lucky person you may well acquire wisdom along the way. Make sure its true wisdom though and not just because you are a lucky soul. So when a man has been hungry all his life and you want to spout wisdom at him you may not get the response you thought. Avoid condescension not everyone has been quite so lucky.
Semi – square 45* this is less powerful than the square and can bring its own conflicts but will give you the energy to deal with them potentially more gently.
Semi-quintile 36* still a creative thinking energy but can sometimes be a clash between two elements, So adjustments will be required. Forms part of a data bank.
Semi-sextile 30* food for thought a small idea that can grow, a seed of Semi-quintile still a creative thinking energy but can sometimes be a clash between two elements, So adjustments will be required. Forms part of a data bank. Semi-sextile food for thought a small idea that can grow, a seed of potential.
Conjunction is a combination of energies and if they do not have a clash of the planets the combination will have added strength. If you put a biscuit next to an onion in the fridge you might get an onion flavoured biscuit. Not everybody's cup of tea. Learning to love your combinations is what will make your combination energies work at their best. An onion flavoured biscuit would be nice with soup for example. This is your own blend. If it's happening embrace it.
So a little look at how the aspects might work out for you. Enjoy x
