Mccoy we let this subject of the yugas go now for awhile, but Vedic astrology has so much more to explore. I have been thinking for sometime now about putting together a Sidereal chart for you. Unlike the tropical chart which is governed by the earth’s annual rotation around the Sun and the planets and their moon’s rotation, the sidereal chart puts the Sun and its planets in their rightful place - in relation to the stars (and not the Sun), thus taking into account the procession of the equinoxes, in a personal chart as well. Are you interested?

Yes, I'm definitely interested

Ok I’ll be at it soon thanks! I’m interested in you as a friend and person. And just going out at nite….looking at the vast sky, it’s wonders, mysteries, revelations and relevance to our little lives and relation to others here and out THERE! It’s something overwhelming for our little minds to fathom. I guess that’s the inspiration for meditation; there has to be some way of approaching this drama beyond our human capacity.

Sidereal chart for mccoy

Mccoy looking at first glance at your sidereal chart compared to your tropical chart…. I would say this one more accurately represents you. Why? Because this one has Scorpio ♏️  as your ascendant and Virgo ♍️ as your midheaven.

The tropical chart - that i first did for you places Sagittarius ♐️ as your ascendent and Libra ♎️ as your midheaven. Now after knowing you for years I would say that serving - Virgo ♍️ - has become your life objective (midheaven) And because you seem quite reserved ( ♏️ Scorpio ) and at times intense in your outward display to the public I believe this sign portrays you more accurately in your outward persona. It also gives an initial glimpse at how you at times react strongly to differences in views. But then quickly counter that with a more reserved attitude towards your first response.

I have meant to explain your sidereal chart for some time now. And intend to continue reflecting on it for sometime to come unless you prefer I do not.

Great Steve, thanks for the effort, the chart is sure different with cancer in the sun + mercury + uranus and Sagittarius in two other planets. Interpretations must be revised and your initial one is a good one to start

Yes I see you are getting the hang of it! I really shouldn’t be surprised with a Sun/Uranus conjunction. Remember Uranus is the ruler of  Astrology and with the planet so close to your Sun there is always the ability to see things ahead of others and to have a totally unique spin on realty and creating new ideas for others and yourself. The stellium in Leo is now placed in two signs. The Sun and Uranus being in Cancer ♋️ while Venus still resides in Leo. I find this explains the family (Cancer) emphasis in your life even to the extent of sacrificing some of your spiritual activities to satisfy family and protective -
Cancer - feelings of responsibility.

Because of your knack for accuracy I should mention that these sites are giving five places for birth;
Prescara, Abruzzo, ItalianRepublic
Prescara, Umbria, Italian Republic
Prescara, Campania, Italian Republic
Prescara, Emilia - Romagna, Italy Republic
Prescara, Lazio, Italian Republic

Are these places far apart in Italy?

Mccoy; Thus in your case the stellium is in Cancer (Sidereal chart) which pertains to providing care for others. I have found though that at times we may find ourselves as caretakers (Cancer) when in fact this does NOT define us and our ultimate goals in life.

It is reaffirmed and validated by another aspect in your chart; Jupiter quincunx Mercury (150 degree angle )…..

“A relationship with this quincunx may have a disconnect between rational needs and higher needs. There is a tug between rationality and optimism that usually ends in misery.”

The exact description for my place would be the following, the others are very, very small places in other regions.

Pescara, Abruzzo, Italian Republic

Thanks mccoy; i was waiting for that since we have a topic here we both show a lot of interest in!

Astrology is for those who are still seeking. Those who have found the truth don't need it.

Is that you who have found the truth? Or perhaps one of the spiritual greatest of all who used astrology; Sri Yukteswar? Or maybe Amma who has astrologers at all her seminars that I’ve attended. Or perhaps you are talking about one of the three ‘wisemen’ who were astrologers. Or maybe you meant Laurie Pratt (Taramata) who wrote a book on astrology and the yugas and who Paramahansa Yogananda called already liberated and did not need to meditate in her incarnation. Or maybe you are referring to Carl Jung who used and validated the use of astrology in his therapy. We’re all these people still seeking or we’re they an example to us to not throw away the tools as long as we needed to map out our lives?

I have nothing against the idea of picking auspicious moments in time to start something beautiful. The thing is, though:

If you are willing to accept everything and all in your life as is - then 98% of all your problems are solved instantly.

I have kept practicing this attitude for many years now, and it helped me a lot. It is being taught by the masters.


On a side note:  ;D
Harald Bluetooth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Bluetooth), king of Denmark and Norway had a personal fart-interpreter who walked behind him all day in a bent-over posture in order to tell the king what the day had in store for him.
(According to Konrad Hansen (https://www.amazon.com/Die-M%C3%A4nner-vom-Meer-Wikinger-ebook/dp/B084WQ4V1N/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=Konrad+Hansen))

What is one man’s salve is another man’s poison. ~ Jitendra

Many feel there are some gurus who are not worth seeing or having their advice. Yet someone else may have had quite different experiences and feel quite different. Who are we to judge? Someone may think our practices and people we follow are worthless as well. Let us practice tolerance and accept what works for one person may not be another persons medicine and helpful advice.

But many people had the benefits of for instance Lahiri Mahasaya or Sri Yukteswar’s advice about astrological amulets or astrological advice for health and many other subjects as well. We know that much of the advice was given from an astrological perspective. And today Carl Jung is considered one of the greatest psychologists of all time who used astrological terms and knowledge in his practice and his scientific research. We also know that Amma has astrological advice at all her retreats. She now has become known as the hugging saint and would you interpret her darshan as a worthless gift given over 40 million times now? I would not belittle your spiritual influences in such a way.

"We must develop a mind devoid of selfishness, that does not collapse in failure, that finds joy in giving, and accepts adversity with love.” ~ Amma

Your comment below about our problems is very similar to mine above. Imagine that! We have many similar ways of saying things. Just different words and people have said them.


The hardest thing in life is to let go to accept  that there is nothing we can do. When we are insulted we will not be affected because we know we are not that person. We are free. What is the point of reacting? forgive; the past is gone.

                                   Amma

I also used to wear an amulet that Brother Bhaktananda made and advised wearing to absorb karmic consequences of astrological occurrences. Many people consider it superstitious behavior. Once I walked into a restaurant and the amulet broke into pieces without even touching anything and fell off my arm… to the floor. No one experienced that accept myself and the spiritual aspirant I was with that day. Yet to me it had much significance that you or someone else may not relate to at all.

Maybe 🤔 the king you spoke of had an interesting day in store for him buying more than just refried beans for meals.

“”Then, dear Master, why do you want me to wear an astrological bangle?”I ventured this question after a long silence; during which I had tried to assimilate Sri Yukteswar”s noble exposition, which contained thoughts very new to me.

“It is only when a traveller has reached his goal that he is justified in discarding his maps. During the journey, he takes advantage of any convenient shortcut. The ancient rishis discovered many ways to curtail the period of man’s exile in delusion. There are certain mechanical features in the law of karma that can be skilfully adjusted by the fingers of wisdom.”

“All human ills arise from some transgression of universal law. The scriptures point out that man must satisfy the laws of nature, while not discrediting the divine omnipotence. He should say: ”Lord, I trust in Thee, and know Thou canst help me, but I too will do my best to undo any wrong I have done.” By a number of means – by prayer, by will power, by yoga meditation, by consultation with saints, by use of astrological bangles – the adverse effects of past wrongs can be minimized or nullified.”

“Autobiography of a Yogi” (Chapter 16) by Paramahansa Yogananda

Mccoy I’ve been looking a lot into sidereal astrology since it fits Sri Yukteswar’s model of our local place in the Milky Way galaxy. It also appears to fit a better description of you in relation to the stars visible to us. I’m having some internet issues with getting the fixed stars pulled up with your chart but keep attempting it. Hope you are finding your own discoveries you’d like to share. You should take a great interest in it if you could only find the time. As you know I say this because Uranus, the planet that rules astrology, is conjunct your solar energies and identify in Cancer. These people are willing to buck a trend and can see things thru a different lens then the rest of society. They will set a path of their own with their own unique insights to offer others, if necessary, to do it.

I believe I know how to remedy the difficulties surrounding putting up an astrology chart that does not have the stars in the proper astrological signs as we see in tropical astrology. Look at a star map. Because we actually view what are in the sky in such a map. And because of my interest in astronomy and astrology and yours (mccoy) I am going to get to that.

And mccoy yours is now Scorpio ♏️ instead of Sagittarius. Since we do not have so much skepticism here now and more receptive viewers I would like to explore this area again. I see a ‘feeling’ of responsibility in your chart and itbis affirmed in your character. Let us take a closer examination of your sidereal chart for birth below, with multiple angles of fate in the natal chart provided here.

Mccoy notice all the planets transiting  (in green) currently on the right side of your chart. This shows that you are much more active with other people at this time. I see that as occurring here at the site as well, as it appears you are taking up some energies left behind from other members. But I also see it as a factor in your relationship with Christopher. The only planet now on the left side of your chart is Pluto in the second house. Which shows the transformation of values you are presently experiencing. Notice ‘P’ for Pluto, transiting your 2nd house of values and monetary concerns. Interestingly enough it is very close to your natal Moon 🌚 right now. Much more on this later, since it is an important and long lasting transit. Suffice it to say your wishes and dreams will feel frustrated which is a motivating force for some of these changes ahead.

At birth this star in Orion was on your descendent ( it was setting on the western horizon.)

Descendant conjunct Rigel: A splendid and illustrious life; glorious, mighty and commanding nature; fame, busy with many activities; bountiful resources; well known or feared in cities and regions. Prosperity around middle age or through marriage or women. [6]

Notice also that you have a Vega/Saturn conjunction.

I have my star map now so I will be looking at it in further consideration of your chart. Obviously the stars are in their proper places. Using a star map we don’t move enough, in relation to the stars, in a lifetime to have any different noticeable effect.

mccoy I had to recheck your sidereal chart and your moon is in Capricorn with Pluto about to transit it and Spica is in Virgo within 2 degrees of your natal Jupiter in the first house. See chart last entry. I will soon have more precise info on this.

Saturn is conjunct Vega and Rigel is conjunct your descendent in your sidereal chart. Rigel is the star that indicates great wealth. Since it is on your descendent the wealth whether it be money or otherwise would come from your spouse or partnerships. We must, ask,  and do as spiritual beings, what wealth means to us. With moon in the second house your wealth and values about it has gone through phases in your life. Although, the Moon in Capricorn bodes for a more practical stability. Suddenly your values will take a major turn in the coming year with Pluto transiting your natal moon; Changing your value system dramatically over the coming years. Given all the the planetary action, at birth, to your natal moon this time of your life will mark a lot of changes in your life.

I stumbled upon a book about the fixed stars and it referenced two stars that give positive results, Rigel and Spica stars of Fortune by DM Hoover. Fixed star Rigel Tropical degree of Rigel: 16 degrees 49 minutes Gemini Sidereal degree of Rigel: 23 Degrees of TAURUS.

~Astrological Magazine

I’ve been just studying Orion a bit and found out both Betelgeuse and Rigel are in Orion mccoy. So seeing that Rigel is on your descendant at birth most likely Betelgeuse would be close by; a gigantic star. So soon I intend to put a revised chart up for you.

(https://www.astro.com/tmpd/cy7ffilexPFd8L-u1242306720/astro_24gw_mccoy_2024521.83923.4010595.png?4010595)

Mccoy i have provided here your Sidereal chart in a Yukteswar astro version. This is replete with 10 major stars, which is the limit for this particular program. Also, you will see all the transits happening in your chart to this date: May 21, 2024. They are shown in green on the outside of the chart.

First i would like to draw you attention to Pluto transiting your second house of values drawing attention to a shift in your values: with a major destined events due to happen that will change your value system, emotions and home life. This will occur over time exerting various pressures to reevaluate your emotions and ideals, wishes and dreams. Seeing as to the fact that this life you have a strong spiritual bent and have already decided to work out karma this life, no doubt these changes will not affect you adversely but at this time of your life you may be able to ride out the ups and downs realizing that it is part of the ride you and i chose this life to accelerate the end of karmic responsibility generated by countless lifetimes in this material existence.

Notice at this time almost all planets and the Sun are traveling through the west side of your chart, which shows you are being affected by outside influences somewhat beyond your conscious control at this time in your life, which are governing most of your decision making. Since Pluto has been opposing you natal Mercury for quite a few years the challenges that accompanied those communication problems have been relieved as you learned to accommodate them over the last few years. It brings sense of relief in your service to others, with an expansion of service and health related interests giving rise to your new and evolved mental awareness. Communication now brings mental attitude and thoughts much more serious attention as Saturn transits your third house.

I included this post again because the internet works differently for different devices. And I had noticed the chart didn’t show up on an iPhone or had actually expired (it hasn’t expired on an iPad) so I added an attachment.

Hey Mccoy that full moon is over your ascendent today. Let me know how the energies are affecting you! You like experimenting. Tell me what empirical data you’re gathering! Your environment and body may have a different perspective. The moons rays will also hit Atares… close to your ascendent.

Steve, today was just a regular day, my experiments presently are some supplements among which the classic Korean Ginseng which appears to exhibit anti senescent properties in humans, according to scientific literature.

It may be that the astral influences are too subtle to be perceived above the usual noisy background of daily life.

The full moon takes place at 9:53 a.m. eastern standard time … so we have been building up to it. It still will be a couple hours till it is completely full. I have had a lot of clarity insights mccoy. Some of which I will share on other threads here this morning. I shared some my observations last nite about Brother Bhaktananda and Brother Anandamoy in relation to my mothers visit. I think quite often we look in hindsight which is 20/20 and gain wisdom from many previous occasions. I have occasion to also see into or through the actions of others and see what motivations they had in their actions and decisions, I’m much better with my own actions then when I questioned them because of the perceptions others may have had. Must try Korean Ginseng. Thanks for mentioning.

Well as you an see there has been much activity and contrast even here at the portal with the full moon triggering your environment. And we appreciate it! A moment of clarity and the ability to express it. The moon was near your ascendent yesterday…today (Thursday) it was right on your ascendent.

Well as you know by now I alerted you a day before the moon was completely full. It does interest me though, that at the time you were experimenting with anti senescent supplements of Korean Ginseng and I thought I might remind you here that the moon in Vedic astrology represents the mind and as I have said before the ascendent represents the environment and the body. Since that is your environment. interestingly enough you were experimenting with a substance that is claimed to affect the body for longevity; Korean Ginseng.

It is a sometimes human foible to be looking for something and not realize it is right with us. For instance glasses 🤓 and not recognize they may be on the top of our head. Or in this case an astrological occurrence we think may be subtle and later recognize it’s influence on our thoughts ( the Moon in Vedic Astrology) and actions ( the Moons influence on our environment and our body; the ascendent) At any rate I want to mention I am also interested in Korean Ginseng.

I'm still taking Ginseng and, as I wrote in the other post, in a little while I'm going to review the most recent scientific literature on it. This is part of a thesis I'll have to submit to complete a course on supplements I've followed.

I'll get the formal title of 'operator in nutraceutic'. The course has been interesting, it is necessary because I may start a small business later on together with a medical doctor.

Of course, this is another sphere of thoughts which requires careful discrimination in evaluating the concepts presented by researchers (some are clearly biased), by companies (that have a direct interest in reccomending a line of supplements) and by other individuals.

The market of supplements is a huge and little regulated one.

The aspect on Ginseng being the only senolytic with scientific evidence in man has been highlighted by a very credible doctor/researcher of the University of Singapore.
I'm going to copy this to the other post, more in topic.

Let's hope the conditions to adjust to won't be too rough!

Well at the time I was looking at your natal chart. Although you have made an interesting point. Because if you look at your natal chart you have an quincunx to Pluto from your Moon when you were born. So you see as Pluto moves closer to your natal Moon it will also be transiting a quincunx to its natal position. Pluto quincunx Pluto in transit. So yes I would say given the length of a Pluto transit there will be some transforming changes and adjustments to upcoming events.

Like most readings. Your present and near future has different energies emerging. And though there are challenges to your hopes and dreams; your sense of service reaches new heights and levels of achievement. As well as health presents more pleasant times ahead.

To some extent I would say all of life is somewhat predestined because we come into life with a road map of sorts; created by karma from the past. But your chart shows certain factors that just need an adjustment in approach or attitude, seeing as to the nature of several quincunx ( 150 degree ) angles in your nativity.
