Ingress Charts and the HBC

At our most recent Meetup gathering, we had a look at Ingress Charts and Solar Returns. An ingress chart is the chart cast for the moment the Sun, Moon, or any planet moves from 29 degrees of one sign to 0 degrees of the next. A Solar Return chart is the chart set for the moment the Sun returns to the exact degree and minute of the zodiac it occupied in a natal chart. Both can be used to give, what I call, the flavour of the upcoming period in question.

This blog post is about ingress charts; we’ll look at solar returns another time.

Venus On A Bad-Hair Day

What a great time we had last night at the Roundhouse! The Vancouver Astrology Meetup group explored some very interesting ways in which Venus can be challenged into being something less than her best.

It was fascinating to explore the charts of celebrities to see how Venus might look okay on the surface, but with further investigation, can be significantly stressed on other levels. We found some amazing (but perhaps not too surprising) aspects in celebrity natal charts. Transits, progressions, and solar arc directions also revealed some significant “bad-hair days” for some individuals. Thanks to all the group member present who contributed their keen observations!
