Uranus

Uranus takes some 84 years to travel through the Zodiac, and spends about 7 years in each sign.

Fire is his element. His nature is dry. He rules Aquarius and he is in exaltation in Scorpio. He is
in analogy with the brain and the nerves.

He represents inventors, eccentric or mentally ill people, and revolutionaries.

Temperament: extremely nervous?

Characterology: emotive, active, secondary. He is passionate.

Uranus is a dynamic and brutal energy. He brings about sudden and unforeseeable changes, new
situations, revolutions, and disruptions. He is upsetting by nature because he symbolizes
eccentricity, marginality, inventiveness, independence and dementia. He is also curt and terse, and
sometimes, intolerant.

When Uranus is a dominant planet, the individual is therefore always eccentric, very independent,
idealistic, inventive and quite extravagant. He may also show intolerance, insensitivity, a lack of
human warmth, which is quite paradoxical because, although he is on the fringe of society, he
needs to be at the service of humankind and to contribute to the betterment of the world.

Uranus is associated with everything modern, technology advances, and communication through
new means (telephone, the Internet, the medias, etc.). As he is a collective planet, his energy is
more particularly felt on the mundane plane, just like the other planets that are even slower.
Neptune

Neptune takes approximately 168 years to travel through the Zodiac, and spends roughly 14 years
in each sign.

Water is his element. His nature is humid. He rules Pisces and he is in exaltation in Cancer. He
is in analogy with the vegetative system.

He represents dreamers, psychics, magicians, purveyors of illusions, and drug addicts.

Temperament: rather lymphatic?

Characterology: emotive, non-active, primary or secondary. He is sentimental, sometimes

With Neptune, everything is slowed down, blurred, nebulous and shrouded in mystery. He
represents all things unreal and incomprehensible, as well as imagination, inspiration, faith,
religion and mysticism.
Neptunian people are gentle, dreamy, mystical, some sort of cranks who demonstrate selflessness
and generosity. They are most sensitive and grasp the subtleties of the surrounding atmosphere.

Their sense of psychology is highly developed, and they particularly appreciate music. However,
they can also be wimpish, malleable, impressionable, gullible and easy to fool, and in some rare
cases, they have no sense of realities.

Neptune gives a tendency to alcohol and drug addictions, "artificial paradises" and suicide. He
causes depression, nervous breakdowns and psychological uneasiness.

On the mundane plane, he is associated with slow, strange and merely noticeable changes, most
often, religious or spiritual ones.
Pluto

Pluto takes approximately 254 years to travel through the Zodiac, but he can remain in a sign for
12 or even 30 years.

His element is undefined. His nature is burning, probably similar to molten lava. He rules
Scorpio and he is in exaltation in Pisces. He is in analogy with the sexual and excretory functions.

He represents dictators, sadists, violent, instinctive and powerful persons, as well as hidden and
mysterious forces.

Temperament: rather choleric?

Characterology: emotive or non-emotive, active, primary. He is passionate and choleric.

Pluto is the most remote planet. His discovery is recent and the interpretation of his energy
remains quite vague. He represents occultism and all hidden sciences, mystery, death, the
hereafter, deep self-questionings, as well as power such as that of the atom.

Pluto brings about radical upheavals from which it is impossible to escape. After his transit, one
feels totally transformed, whether positively or negatively. Pluto also rules our deepest instincts,
our obsessions, our anxieties, and our sexual energy.

Plutonian people are enigmatic, deep, magnetic, sometimes worrying, endowed with an incredible
amount of energy, and able to constantly carry out self-questionings. They can also, in some rare
cases, be violent, sadistic, and perverse.

On the mundane plane, as already mentioned, Pluto brings about shattering changes and major
crises, including financial crises, since he is also associated with wealth.
Sedna, a new planet discovered towards the end of 2003!

Sedna, a new element of our solar system, was discovered on 14 November 2003. However, this
information was only released on 15 March 2004 and was temporarily named Sedna, meaning the
Inuit princess of the sea. This asteroid/planet, known as number 2003VB12 to astronomers, has a
reddish appearance, almost as red as Mars. Located in a space that astronomers deem empty,
Sedna is the reddest and brightest object of the solar system. Its size is slightly smaller than that
of Pluto (1,770 km compared to 2,274 km).

Currently, Sedna is found at a distance equivalent to three times the distance from Pluto to the
Sun! Its orbit is very elliptical, with a perihelion estimated at 75 AU*, and an orbital period of
10,500 years. It is far beyond the Kuiper Belt, in what is considered as the internal limit of the
Oort's cloud. Sedna is the first object of the Oort's cloud, a planetoid which size is about the same
as Pluto's. The medias are already referring to Sedna as "the tenth planet".

Integrating Sedna to the existing celestial bodies, and astrologically considering it as a planet,
leads to an 11-planet system instead of a 10-planet system (luminaries included), 5 asteroids
(Chiron, Ceres, Vesta, Pallas and Juno), the North and South Lunar Nodes, Lilith or Dark Moon, in
its true and mean versions, and the Part of Fortune, i.e. twenty bodies to delineate, not to mention
their house and sign positions, and many objects of lesser importance, such as fixed stars and
other hypothetical elements. It goes without saying that Sedna has no interpretative meaning
yet...

Asteroids, Nodes, Lilith, Arabian Parts, Hypothetical...

Ceres, , the biggest of the four minor asteroids used, is associated with the mythological goddess
of grain and harvest. It symbolizes both physical constitution and fertility. It was also known as
Demeter, and according to Astrologer Zipporah Dobyns, it was associated with the symbolism of
motherhood, in less emotive and more physical ways than the Moon. Ceres is assigned rulership
over Virgo. It is in exaltation in Gemini, in detriment in Pisces and in fall in Sagittarius.

Pallas is also used in modern Astrology. It represents intelligence, abstraction abilities and
synthesizing talent. In common practice, it is considered a major element in political strategy.

Juno is the asteroid associated with the capacity to adjust to the spouse, and it also deals with the
defence of personal rights. It is therefore very often used to interpret marriage topics.

Vesta is less used. It indicates the capacity to dedicate oneself to a cause and to bring a higher
level of efficiency into it.

Chiron is acknowledged and reckoned with in all astrological schools. Most astrologers consider it
to be a "mediator" of some sort between Saturn and the outer planets. Therefore, Chiron has the
nature of Saturn and is influenced by Uranus, the first of the very slow-moving planets. From an
astrological stand, Chiron represents wisdom, patience, and the capacity to relieve other people's
sufferings. It is known as the "Great Healer" of the Zodiac.

The North and South Lunar Nodes, always exactly opposite to each other, are the point where
the Moon's orbit intersects the Earth's. The North Node symbolizes the place of growth towards
which we must progress even though we are often "new" and inexperienced as we start our
journey. The South Node symbolizes our acquired experience, and indirectly, the place we must
part from, in order to develop.

Lilith ou la "Dark Moon" is the empty focus of the lunar orbit, the other focus being the Earth. It
symbolizes the "debt", or the karmic consequences of our deeds. It means dearth, unfathomable
fear, foolish challenge, sufferings which lead to growth, the limits of earthly bearable pain, and
therefore, the possibilities to surpass oneself, the ambivalence of desire and denial, as well as the
ability to metamorphose oneself, and to turn an ordeal into a redeeming experience. Just like
Pluto, Mars, and Uranus to some extent, Lilith has a strong and active sexual symbolism. It is the
snake of the garden of Eden, the foolish temptation, and the refusal to submit to our desires. Lilith
spends approximately nine months in each sign, and its yearly motion is roughly of forty degrees.
It is commonly believed that its domicile is in Scorpio, its exaltation in Aries, its detriment in
Taurus, and its fall in Libra. Opposite to Lilith, there is a not too fortunate point namePriape; It is
the lunar perigee, the place where the Moon is closest to the Earth. It symbolizes man's primitive
nature, the horror that may be deeply hidden in us, masochism, voluptuousness and excesses.

Dionysus, also named the Black Sun, is the balance point of the Sun. It represents the
unconscious part, the black hole, the area not yet awakened to Knowledge. It is seldom used and
often contested probably quite rightly. Its yearly motion is only of 1 degree and 52 minutes.
Therefore, it is collective by nature. At the end of 2003, it was located at 13 Cancer. The place
where it is posited in the natal chart indicates the field in which the individual significantly meets
with communities.

Proserpina, a star that is yet to be discovered, and the existence of which seems "logical" in
relation to the planets' symbolism, represents the cycle of nature, reconstruction, and revival. To
the initiated person, it means the positive side of the 8th house, the mystery of death, and the
wealth of the unconscious. Its symbolism has its source in the myth of Persephone, daughter of
Zeus (Jupiter) and Demeter (Ceres). After Persephone was abducted by Hades (Pluto), she
became his wife. Upon Demeter's request, Hades accepted to allow Persephone to leave the
Underworld and stay with her mother during half of the year, which Persephone agreed on.
Proserpina is simultaneously Venus' complement and her reverse, just like Pluto is Mars'
complement and his reverse.
Vulcan, in analogy with Proserpina, is said to be the complement but the reverse of Mercury.

Other hypothetical points boggle the mind. Thus: Cupid, Hades, Zeus, Kronos, Poseidon, Apollo, or
else Eros, Thanatos etc.

Some new points of the 2Oth century astrology stem from studies of different domification
systems (the calculation of house cusps), or other elaborated fancy systems, always conducted for
research purposes. The results yielded are not too convincing.The Vertex and the Antivertex
correspond to the Ascendant and the Descendant, just to mention an additional example.
