covenrochester | Astrology: Getting Fired?

Another instance of the Queen of Heaven speaking as clear as crystal on a matter of great importance to a Seeker.

FACTS: A female Seeker, 37 years old, accidentally forwarded an inappropriate visual email joke to an office email list. Before anyone could complain, she went to the Personnel Department of her company and confessed the error. The Personnel Department told her that they would conduct an investigation and get back to her within the week. She telephoned the Magister within the hour with this question: "Will I lose my job?" I telephoned her back within the next hour:

JUDGMENT: Yes, the company will fire you in five days, on February 21.

RESULT: And so it was.

The SEEKER is Lord 1, represented by the Moon, and her dignities are:
Rulership: Saturn
Exaltation: ---
Triplicity: Saturn
Term: Venus
Face: Mercury
Detriment: Sun
Fall: ---

PERSONNEL is Lord 10, represented by Jupiter, and his dignities are:
Rulership: Jupiter
Exaltation: ---
Triplicity: Sun
Term: Mercury
Face: Moon
Detriment: Mercury
Fall: ---

The EMAIL is clearly represented by Mercury here. It is on the cusp of Personnel's house (weighing on Personnel's mind) and Personnel really hates Mercury (Jupiter detrimenting Mercury). The salacious content of the email is indicated by Mercury in its debilities of fall and detriment. Mercury's dignities are:
Rulership: Jupiter
Exaltation: Venus
Triplicity: Mars
Term: Jupiter
Face: Saturn
Detriment: Mercury
Fall: Mercury

The Seeker is peregrine -- at a loss, at sea. Personnel is in its own sign, protecting its own interests. Personnel really dislikes the email and has trivial regard for the Seeker herself. That's not an auspicious start, is it?

Somewhat more disturbing is Uranus within range of the 10th house cusp -- close enough to affect the Seeker's job. Uranus is treated like a fixed star here, and only its conjunctions and oppositions count, and then only within a couple of degrees. Here, it is within range of the 10th house cusp. This is a very disruptive influence.

Another minor troublesome testimony: the Moon is under the beams of the Sun and stepping ever deeper into it. The Moon is also ending its cycle here. When the Moon conjuncts the Sun, we have New Moon. The symbolism of ending is not auspicious for the Seeker, either.

What does the Moon do next? It sextiles Jupiter: The Seeker comes in contact with Personnel again.

And what happens to the Moon next? It makes an opposition to a very nasty Saturn in detriment. The Seeker will run into something extremely unpleasant and regret it. In the context of our question and facts, that can be only one thing: she will be fired.

Note that the Moon/Seeker, by dignities of rulership and triplicity, is very concerned about Saturn. That confirms that the nasty Saturn in detriment must represent being fired.

When? The Moon/Seeker will make the opposition to Saturn/Fired in about 6 degrees. In the context of the facts, that must be 6 days. The Moon, however, is moving faster than average, so we need to knock off a day. Therefore, 5 days.

AN EXTRA NOTE -- ARABIAN PART and FIXED STAR: The above testimonies are most certainly clear enough to warrant the judgment given. If you were feeling particularly virtuous, you might calculate the Arabian Part of Resignation and Dismissal (Saturn + Jupiter - Sun), and find the part at 9 Gemini 51. The Part is exactly conjunct the fixed star Aldebaran -- the Eye of the Bull. It is the star of the Spring Equinox -- the old year ending and a new year beginning. And so its placement here mirrors the cycle of the Moon ending as it goes to conjunct the Sun in the chart. Aldebaran also has specific meanings, itself. It can give lively friends. It can give success in war. But it can also inflict heavy damage and bring a fall from grace or ruin by folly or pride. Which do we choose here? Given that the dispositor of the Part is Mercury, and Mercury is in very nasty shape (detriment, fall), we cannot choose a positive interpretation. It would have to be ruin by folly, which certainly fits the situation.

*** Blessed be to those who serve the Great Mother and the Horned Father.
