Astrology is the noblest discipline of all because it seeks an open minded way to understand our true place in the Universe.

Organised religion pretends to do this, but in reality exists for one reason only – the control and subjugation of women.

The Sun in astrology is the masculine principle, the Moon is the feminine, they are opposites.

We all have a Sun and Moon in our chart, their interplay will tell us much about how those two sides of our nature will coexist within us.

But there is no sense of one being right and the other wrong. The Sun and Moon are equals.

Contrast this with religion. From the very beginning Adam is considered the innocent who was totally content until Eve came along. 

Eve manipulated him into defying God’s will and they were both thrown out of the Garden of Eden.

The subtext is that women can’t be trusted and if they are not subdued, will use their wiles to drag men to hell. 

We have all been indoctrinated by this shit, and we owe it to humanity to free ourselves from it. But some of us are much more on the receiving end of it than others.

This is the story of a client C in her own words

“Married young. Saw red flags of him being an abuser while dating and during the first year, but overlooked them due to me seeing his breaking glass or punching walls as passion that I never had seen before. I interpreted that “passion” as love and that he couldn’t live without me.

No one in my family had ever divorced so I felt I never could. Also, when I told my parents that he had asked me to marry him, my father responded, ”Good, now someone else can pay for you.” As a girl, I took that to mean I had no choice but to marry him. 

We got involved in a church that I now see as a religious cult where wives simply submit to the husband. 

After the first year of my marriage which was seemingly going to be disastrous, I reached out to a local Southern Baptist church for support. This particular church embraced a movement  of IBLP which is now a documentary on Netflix “Shinny, happy, people.”

All of my surroundings were of that philosophy bubble, pointing to scripture where women are submissive to their husbands. There is a popular “umbrella of protection” in that camp where Christ is the umbrella and under the umbrella is man, then wife, then children.  If wives submit to their husbands “under the umbrella of protection,” all will be well. 

The husband must submit to Christ. Somehow, that part never worked. The men just heard “wives must submit to their husbands.”

If the wife is miserable, she needs to die to herself more, submit harder, love him more, crown him king more. Then he will become Christlike and save his family, Christ will be honored and will bless that protocol. That’s how God protects the family. 

I spent 23 years “loving him harder, praying for him harder, and making his life a dream” while I was losing myself and dying inside.

He bragged to people the entire marriage about how I worked to earn enough money for us to open a business of our own. I was very active in working our business that grew to many millions of net worth, properties, land, assets. It was a lavish lifestyle that he loved to show off while I was the one trying to hide how much we had, as not to look showy. That became a large battle between us. 

He was never too keen on having children until we did. That’s all I ever wanted, to be a mother, and was my most achieved accomplishment and passion. He would spend an average of 5 minutes a day with the children. I homeschooled and never needed a break from them. The children and I were together all of the time, loving learning, cooking, doing everything together. The children and I were extremely close while they were growing up. It was a dreamy life inside the bubble of the kids and myself. 

About 20 years into the marriage, it got very difficult. I found myself wanting my voice to be heard, no longer wanting to be a doormat. 

I miscarried our 4th child and experienced depression/anxiety for the first time. I had no idea at the time that it was my body saying to me that I could no longer live that way. 

I was not aware I was in an abusive marriage with his manipulating, emotional and mental abuse. Instead of helping me get the help I needed, he was beginning a campaign against me to our oldest child, all of our friends, and our church community by saying that I had become crazy after losing the baby, which had nothing to do with my body breaking down. Not one “friend” or person told me he was dripping poison about me until after the divorce, 3 years later. 

He began showing the signs of being a physical abuser by cornering me into walls with his hands blocking me from moving and hurling evil words and expressions. That is the first time I remember the “crazy making” confusion.  

He also began beating our oldest mercilessly with his belt. I didn’t realize how bad it was until the last time when I ran into the room and got between the belt and my child. The man was like an untamed animal, breathing very unnaturally. It was terrifying and I swore to my child I would never let that happen again. 

That particular child (age 12) began showing major signs of rebellion and strange behaviors that caused the school to recommend a behavioral school, overseen with a psychiatrist. My sweet, loving child became uncontrollable. Again, I had no idea that his father had been confusing him for a couple of years behind my back. 

We had gone to counselor after counselor, with him storming out of psychology rooms constantly. 

In June 2011, I was reading yet one more book on mending marriages, after bedtime, and alone. He came to me twice demanding that I come to bed to read because he couldn’t sleep without me in bed. He had become more and more controlling.

I simply refused, I wanted some alone time to read. He got rough with me, threw my phone against a wall, pinned me down where I couldn’t move. His face right in my face with very weird/scary eyes, repeatedly saying/screaming,” Why can’t you see your problem right in front of your face??”

I had no choice but to call out for our oldest son’s help. He was in the closest room to us and I knew he was able to hear all of it happening. I thought when my son appeared in the doorway, he would stop and get off of me. He did not. He continued as if our son wasn’t even there watching.

I kept telling our son to go call 911. He was frozen so it took a few times. That was a big night for all of us, as it woke everyone up and the children were terrified of their father’s eyes and behavior. He did not get off of me until my child informed us the police were on the way. The children and I had to run and hide outside behind bushes until the police arrived. We could see him walking through the house and I truly felt like he was going to get a gun and find us. 

I was the classic newly aware domestic victim where I begged the police not to take him away, I just needed them to get him off of me. I had a strong knowing that my life would be in danger if he was arrested. They informed me that it was not me pressing charges, but them, the county. 

Three officers took him, my son, and myself separately for their report. That night, he admitted what he had done and all three of our stories were the same. He went to jail, was ordered to anger managment classes, and a protection order was placed upon me. 

One of my biggest regrets in life was encouraging, taking our oldest son to visit his dad two weeks later. The other two refused to go. They were all terrified of him. So, my son went to an event with his father.

W had made up a story to everyone we knew that I had slapped my husband that night and anytime the police were called to a domestic dispute, someone had to go to jail. 

He told my son that he sacrificed himself by going to jail so that I wouldn’t have to. Even though the three police reports all concur what took place, he is a good actor and convinced everyone that I wasn’t safe. And, he became the hero. 

My son refused to see me again or talk to me without spewing venom and his memories of our old life were completely opposite of truth. 

My daughter’s brainwashing took two weeks. My youngest son begged me to rescue him from visiting dad, but eventually he, too, succumbed to the brainwashing. 

W hired attorneys, who helped him lie to get my children out of their current school and into another state and to live with him. The judge claimed jurisdiction unlawfully. It came to light years later that we know the cash runner to the judge and guardian ad litem. 

W got away with all of it, including him getting every single thing we ever owned, every penny of all of my 23 years of work. He walked away with a new girlfriend, all of the children, and a multi millionaire. I walked away $40k in debt. 

W instantly and continually took me back to court to defend myself from false allegations for 10 long years. I had to keep going to defend myself just to keep some semblance of a relationship with my children. 

Even though nothing was ever proven against me, my time with the kids dwindled from every other weekend (where he convinced the children to do horrible things against me, steal belongings from me, act so horrible that it would look to the judge that I couldn’t control them). 

The children all hated me for years – parroting all of his words, none of their own. The judge eventually ordered only a few minutes phone calls between me and  them. 

During the court years, I begged the judge to order psychological testing. The psychologist stated that W definitely was alienating the children from their mother. He stated that W’s psych evaluation was so dishonest that he was unable to make a diagnosis. Mine said anxiety and depression.  

That did nothing to help. The judge ignored it.

W was unable to control our oldest with drugs, alcohol, and risky behaviors. He shipped him off for two years. The blessing that came out of that was that he was also away from his father, where his thinking came back, was clear about everything and desperately tried to get back to me. 

It was hell for the next 10 years financially and emotionally. I had to spend $700k on the whole ordeal, money that I didn’t have. 

All three of my children ran to me on their 18th birthdays. 

I still struggle financially, psychologically (much PTSD, etc).  But I try to turn it all for good each day, which is like forcing an impossible situation. 

In 2021, my oldest son discovered that his father had been forging his signature on tons of documents for his father’s access to more government loans and money for farming. He snuck into his father’s office overnight and photocopied all of the forgery. The next day, he bought an anxiety pill off the street laced with fentanyl. He is no longer with us. 

My other two children, including myself, have tons of healing left to do, but I maintain a beautiful relationship with them now. 

Yes, we have grandchildren together. Yes, I have had to show up to events where W is present, including a wedding in a few weeks. 

I will never understand how a man can strip his helper/partner of 23 years of her identity, every family photo, children’s memorabilia, every dollar she ever made, and burn his family down to the ground to an ash heap. 

He continues to this day to credit “God” as the one who has helped him accomplish all of the wealth and success in life that he has.

I am hoping the look at our charts will help someone in some way. It was a relationship from hell, and I see will continue to be until one of us leaves this earth.”

The house that the Sun is in will tell you the most important area of life to the native. It is where they would naturally focus much of their energy and it is likely to show where the main dramas occur in their life.

The aspects that the Sun receives from other planets will tell you what kind of dramas they are.

Whatever sign the Sun is in, someone with it in the 7th house will have qualities like a Libran, the main relationship of their life is the most important one to them and they naturally search for balance and harmony there.

If the Sun opposes the Ascendant, there can be a theme of the person sacrificing something of their own identity and control of their own individual expression for sake of the relationship.

It’s as if the 7th house Sun drains the Ascendant.

There is often a tendency for the themes of the partner to dominate their own. I have seen this happen time and time again, even if the Sun is in strong assertive signs like Aries or Leo.

C has the Sun in independent minded Aquarius and Leo rising, but the opposition between them makes it very difficult for her to assert her own needs and identity.

This is compounded by the fact that the Sun and Ascendant form a T square with an apex Saturn.

Women with challenging Sun/Saturn aspects invariably encounter serious difficulties with the men in their life. This often starts with the father.

The principle of Saturn is to limit, restrict or deny us something that most people would consider to be a normal requirement, in order to force us to build those qualities in ourselves so that ultimately they are not dependent on other people.

With the Sun square to Saturn, there is usually something missing in the father principle. In extreme cases the father is missing from the person’s life, in most cases there is at least a lack of emotional support.

When the Sun is in the 7th house, this theme extends to and focuses on the husband.

In a woman’s chart, with Saturn at the apex of a T square between the Ascendant and the Sun, her life and personal expression is controlled by her partner.

With Saturn in the 10th house, this extends to her career as well.

The other aspect that the Sun has is a close quincunx to the Moon in the 2nd house.

The quincunx is an aspect of 150 degrees. It exists between signs that are 5 apart. Any combination of these signs are more different than any other, even the opposition or the square.

In many ways a quincunx is a more challenging aspect. It is less common because the orbs have to be very tight (no more than 2 degrees is accepted, whereas an opposition can run to 10).

This ties C’s financial life and independence to her husband, and points to serious problems there.

The other thing to note is that her Moon is conjunct Pluto, so there will come a time in her life when her financial situation changes drastically.

One vitally important factor is that C’s Sun is exactly (to the minute) conjunct her North Node ( and naturally opposite her South Node).

This gives powerful emphasis to all of the above and suggests that there is a strong karmic quality to these themes for her.

It is as if this aspect is concurring with C’s church’s admonition that she better submit to her husband (Sun conjunct North Node in the 7th house), because if she tries to assert her own identity (Sun opposite South Node in the 1st house) there will be hell to pay.

Coming back to C’s T square, the Sun in the 7th and an apex Saturn brings her a lot of trouble through her marriage, but the fact that it is in Fixed signs, gives her a tremendous capacity for enduring them and with an Aquarian Sun, ultimately the strength to assert her own in independence.

What about Adam then?

With the Sun in Taurus in the 2nd house, W’s happy place in life is money and possessions.

Like C, he has an opposition between the 1st and 7th house.

For a man in a macho culture, one of the most difficult placements to have would be the Moon in Pisces in the 1st house.

The 1st house is about what we have to assert as our individuality. A Pisces Moon lacks a strong sense of self, it is diffused and unfocused. It can have many compassionate qualities but as a 1st house placement would appear weak.

Oppositions to 1st house personal planets also point to parts of ourselves but the likelihood is that we will project them onto people who we are in relationship with.

This Moon is opposite a Uranus/Pluto conjunction in the 7th house.

So W views relationships with women as something that threatens to disrupt and even destroy his already poor sense of masculinity.

For W, C is Eve to his Adam, dragging his innocence (Pisces Moon) straight to hell (opposite Pluto).

While C has the Sun in a Fixed sign (Aquarius) conjunct the North Node in the 7th house so all of her instincts would be to maintain relationships, W has Uranus and Pluto there so everything points to separation and divorce.

W’s 7th house planets are trine his 2nd house Sun, whereas C’s is quincunx her Moon in that house.

So from W’s perspective both his marriage and his divorce will be financially rewarding.

For C, both would be financially disruptive and challenging.

W’s Moon opposite Uranus and Pluto also forms a T Square to Venus in Gemini in the 4th house.

This shows the enormous impact that his marital themes have on their family.

Venus is also exactly quincunx (an orb of 1 minute) his retrograde 9th house Neptune.

Neptune here means that W’s religious views would have a powerfully disintegrating effect on his family.

Let’s have a look at the synastry between them.

C’s T square apex Saturn is conjunct W’s Sun, so he symbolises the control and restriction that holds her back and keeps her in her place.

Her Sun is exactly (1/3 degree) square to W’s 9th house Neptune, a placement which if put in her chart would sit in the 4th house and forms a Grand Cross with her T square.

This shows the extent to which W’s religious views impacts negatively on her whole life, but particularly that it undermines her family.

This also reflects W’s own Venus in the 4th quincunx Neptune in the 9th house aspect.

His 4th house Venus exactly sextile her 7th house Sun is probably what brought them together in the first place but the aspects that each placement has with his Neptune shows the disintegration of their family.

His Venus is exactly square to her Moon.

C’s Moon is conjunct W’s 7th house Uranus/Pluto so she would naturally fill that role of Eve opposed to his Adam (opposite his 1st house Pisces Moon).

C’s Venus is in her 5th house suggesting that the one area of joy in her life would be through her children.

But her Venus is square to Pluto, so there would come a time in her life when her relationship with them would be seriously broken up.

Her Venus is exactly square to W’s Saturn, showing the effect that he would have on her family.

All of this is powerful synastry, but very little of it is easy or positive.

C and W got married in 1990 when Pluto was at 17 Scorpio forming a Grand Cross to C’s T Square.

Uranus was at 6 Capricorn conjunct her Venus.

The chart itself is quite unusual because it has two Yods, shown by the green triangles.

These are exceptionally difficult patterns and there is often some kind of violence associated with them. They frequently have a negative impact on the health of the person concerned.

One involves the Sun conjunct Venus in Scorpio in sextile with Neptune in the 8th house focusing onto an apex Mars in the 1st house.

The other also involves Mars sextile Jupiter with an apex Neptune.

The symbolism here could easily point to someone’s death and the circumstances of the marriage and divorce did contribute to the loss of their oldest son.

The chart for the date of their divorce 23 years later is an extremely stressful one

There is a powerful T Square with a Mars/Jupiter/Mercury conjunction in Cancer opposite Pluto and focused on an apex Uranus.

At noon, this Uranus is right on the Descendant indicating an end to the marriage and the Ascendant forms a Grand Cross with this T square.

There is an exact Venus/Neptune opposition.

The Sun is closely square to Saturn.

Pluto was conjunct C’s 5th house Venus, so the divorce completely changed her relationship with her children. This transit triggered the natal square between Pluto in her 2nd and Venus, and this also indicated the disastrous financial separation from C’s perspective.

C finally gained her independence from W, but at terrible cost to her family.

The family trauma for her and her surviving two children is ongoing.

When we hear stories like this we are left asking why. Religion offers us nothing, all it does is fan the flames of the very hell it is threatening us with.

Astrology shows us how but if we truly understand the subject it can even show us why.

When I look at a chart like C’s with such a powerful and tight Sun/Moon quincunx, I wonder what occurred back when her regressed Sun was conjunct that Moon.

This would take us back to September 1820.

We can see that it was an immensely powerful point in C’s previous lives. Not only is C’s regressed Sun conjunct her current Moon, but her regressed Moon is exactly opposite it.

Her regressed Saturn is also exactly sextile it.

Her regressed Ascendant is exactly conjunct her Sun.

We could go back as far as Adam and Eve and not find a more powerful set of regressions.

Would there be a similar theme for W?

Of course there would be.

Taking W’s chart back to the same date, his regressed Sun is exactly square to his current Moon.

His regressed Venus is exactly opposite its own current position at the apex of an extremely tight T square with Saturn and Uranus.

W’s regressed T square falls exactly on C’s regressed Sun/Moon opposition.

What happened to them both back then?

Well that is another story but with all that Pisces/Sagittarius clashing you can bet that religion had another big part to play.

What is it all about anyway?

The whole of religion is based on one word.

Fear.

Men’s fear of women.

In a way, W’s chart with its 1st house Pisces Moon opposite a Uranus/Pluto conjunction in the 7th encapsulates fear.

It is totally irrational but men like W see women as creatures that will undermine their fragile egos and expose their weaknesses.

So they invent a religion that gives them all something to be really scared about.

“Do as I say or God will smite you down”

And about 85% of the world’s population fall for this W bullshit.

If only they would take their heads out of the arses and look upwards, they would C God’s true plan written clearly across the sky.
