I am very reader driven. I like to respond to the questions my very valued readers have for me. This article falls in that category.Some readers brought up the topic of voids with the Ascendent being the Void element. In other words, one may have a water void and a water ASC. One may have a Fire Void and a Fire Ascendent. This situation has struck me when I have done charts. I have encountered and taken note of it when a person has an actual void and not just a low amount of the element i.e low water. I cannot speak to the case if the person has some water. I would need to observe this more before I commented. I like to spend a great deal of time studying charts before I write articles.
I am speaking strictly of an elemental void and the ASC being of that element. In these cases, I have found a very distressed person. The person does not seem to have a handle on herself. She seems to have an outer part that has no resonance with her inner parts, shall we say. She feels that she does not understand what makes her tick because she may present a very different appearance than what is really there. This seems to puzzle her, as well as others. She seems to be the one that suffers the most, though.
I would think this would be one of those highly stressful chart situations, as is Sun combust Mercury. I liken both of these to stress fractures in rock. It is there. It exists and there is not much one can do with the existing nature of the rock except accept it. I would say that Sun combust Mercury would be harder, especially if it were exact or close to exact. If it is is a wide aspect such as 4-5 degrees, the effect is mitigated a great deal. In difficult aspects, each degree counts!
For the person with an actual void and the ASC the same element, I would love to hear your comments. I am all about learning together. That is a big part of my contribution to Astrology. I like to get discussion going 😀
Is “combust” the same thing as “cunjuct?”
On top of ALL the other problems Casey Anthony has in her chart, she has
Sun + Mercury conjunct! Is this just more evidence that God ALONE can help
her “reform?”
NO, the combust is very, very different, Lon. How close is it in her chart? I see this as a major factor for mental illlness.
It’s definately a conjuction. I think one of the first things I ever read that
you wrote, was about the Sun/Mercury conjunction.
I believe that Casey’s chart is the PERFECT STORM of disfunctionality.
Lon dear
We have a combust and a conjunction.
The combust is bad especially if it is exact. It is called a cazimi. The Sun burns up the mind( Mercury) These, I see, as a factor in mental illness, through no fault of the person. The combust is 1-5 degrees. The conjunction is a blessing. It gives great intelligence. This is 6-10 degrees.
If she does not have 12th house planets, she does not have the worst the chart can offer imo
wait what?!
I have Sun combust Mars 0º
Moon combust North Node 0º
Nessus combust Mercury 0º
Eros combust Venus 0º
Sun combust Juno 1º
Sun combust one asteroid I don’t want to mention 😀 0º
And today at 13:07 hrs GMT-5 I found out that I have Asteroid KING combust MC 0º
Almost everything in my birth chart is combust, so…
Dear lady, I’ve been reading this page for so long,but this info about combust aspect… sounds just like misinformation for me hahahah! 😀
If what you are saying is true, then I would have many evil – illness issues.
and please, don’t say I’m denaying it to myself. Because you will sound just like a negative water void :D, you know. ‘Always manipulating the truth’ .
Anyway, the only thing I’m pretty sure it’s related to my combust aspects is that I have a complex. I’m realizing that I have the complex of the bringer of karma. Yes, sounds weird and childish.
I may sound like a cheerful person, but it’s because I’m writting to an astrologer lady. I don’t want to annoy, seriously huh!
Sorry if I did.
Good Luck.
LOL You are cute. Do you have all these combusts? Some are not combusts per se. The Merc/Sun is it’s own thing.
Why do you ask me that? uhmm… do you think I’m lying? of course I have those combusts.
For example… I’ve been reading your last post about Europe (55).
I just discovered that I have Lilith conjunct Europe in the same degree so, both make conjunction with an orb of 0º , right?
and I don’t even know what it means, but it’s sounds fun haha!
I have many more combust aspects, but some of them are related to some darkish asteroids and I don’t want you to have nightmares today. (yes, I’m a caring person)
You crack me up, CHarlie 😀
… 😀
So you would say that the REALLY hard cases have to have 12th house
planets?
Yes, basically. The 12th House planets have a difficulty that nothing else has. This is the classic view of many traditional astrologers. GUESS what, Lon? My father got saved last night!
I’m very happy to hear that.
Remember what I told you a couple of posts ago? NEVER “stand on ritual.”
“Ritual” is formality that says, “You must make the first move. You must make
ammends to me before I respond with compassion.”
God threw you a challege. Your parents raised you in a way that left much to be
desired. You held a grudge against them, and because of bitter memories
avoided contact. You weren’t certain what to do. But I knew based on how God
reacted when He sent His only Son to live a sinless life and die for huminity that
“standing on ritual” was not the way to go. Remember, Paul said God sent his
Son to die for us WHILE WE WERE STILL ENEMIES! We humans didn’t make the
FIRST MOVE. It would never have ocurred to us to make the first move.
The only thing blocking us from accepting the FREE GIFT is our lack of
comprehension. We get so distracted with “worldly things” and our own
conceptions of “fairness and justice,” that we don’t live in the NOW. We get in our
own way. By NOT standing on ritual, and attempting to impose your OWN brand
of “justice” (vengence) on your family, you have done enourmous good and
demonstrated TRUE Christianity.
Yes, my father is saved but God is leading me not to talk to my mother right now.
God has sent me to tell you, that there is nothing that cannot be accomplished
through His Spirit. You must make ammends with your mother as soon as
possible, while there’s STILL TIME!
Regardless of the outcome, you will know that you are in the right, and have a
clean Christian conscience.
Really, Lon? Ok, I will call then! Thank you
