Sesquiquadrate Sun – Moon

(Transit Sun → Natal Moon)

Avelom Podvodnyi. Aspects

Tridecile of the Sun: When participating in another’s life, an honest person strives to preserve it. This aspect provides an opportunity for the successful and constructive application of a person’s will toward the development of life in the areas governed by the Planet. The individual will not feel direct pressure from circumstances compelling them toward this, but will instead sense an impulse of inner vitality that seems to invite their involvement in issues related to revitalizing stagnant forms within the Planet’s domains. These matters will not seem foreign, but closely connected to the person personally. Indeed, participation in the development of life within the Planet’s spheres promises not only success in the endeavor itself, but also significant support in personal self-expression. Ultimately, the person may come to feel within themselves a truly human principle guiding the evolution of lower life forms. With a harmonious Sun, this is a very favorable aspect; the person can achieve much if they overcome their laziness. Affliction of the Sun may lead to a misdirected initiative, or external objective conditions may distort it, greatly hindering the person’s attempts to participate in the development of life within the Planet’s spheres. And if the Moon is also afflicted, without specific work on the tridecile, its assistance will initially have a destructive character, even with the best intentions. Tridecile of the Moon: Life holds approximately the same significance for this person as landscape does for a novel. Such an individual will tend to perceive issues of life development within the Planet’s spheres in a deeply personal way. These matters will resonate within them as an intimate, warm feeling and a desire to help, with a maternal nuance—such as comforting, warming, nourishing, and so forth. At the same time, the person may be quite selfish, seeking to extract the maximum benefit from life for themselves personally, and may substitute genuine concern for the actual needs of the surrounding world with fussiness centered around their own perceptions of those needs. Affliction of the Moon may manifest as excessive capriciousness in such interactions—many aspects of others’ lives may displease the person, who may then attempt to reshape them to fit their own image, denying the inherent developmental path, all under the guise of sincere involvement and assistance. A harmonious Moon provides excellent intuitive understanding of life and its challenges within the Planet’s spheres, along with the ability to participate appropriately. However, it simultaneously brings an equally harmonious form of vampirism upon it. Working through this aspect leads to a symbiosis—more or less tense, depending on the major aspects between the Moon and the Planet—and enables subtle, profound self-expression for the individual through participation in life’s development: in doing so, they will feel their truly human essence.
