Nathan Naicker Western Astrology

  Game of Thrones is a fantasy drama television series that premiered on HBO in April 2011. It is an adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novels by author George R. R. Martin. There are three main story arcs in the series. The first centres around the dynamic alliances and conflicts for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms on the island of Westeros. The second focuses on the last descendant of the deposed Emperor of Westeros and her quest to return in glory to her homeland while gathering support and strength in the lands of the island across the sea, Essos. The third story arc revolves around the brothers of the Night’s Watch, and their ongoing mission to defend Westeros from ancient and magical enemies from the far North, bringing to the world the long dread Winter along with them. Being a fan of the series, and having read some of the books (up to the end of Book 3), it dawned on me last night that I could devote some time to feed my nerdish curiosity about every...

  Material in this blog post was originally penned in Dec 2016 as part of my notes for a year outlook of horoscope videos. As we approach the halfway point of the year, I thought it would be a good idea to post them in full for a useful mid-year "sense-check". First we look into the Aries Ingress chart for the year 2017. There is a partile Saturn-Moon conjunction at the end of Sagittarius. The Saturn-Moon conjunction direction and nadir lines go through Hong Kong, with the other directional lines going through S.America, Russia, and down through China. The placement of Mars is important in an Aries Ingress, and is in detriment and ruling a stellium in Aries. These all indicate the USA, Russia, China, South America, and most painfully the region of Hong Kong as most afflicted. Any country that has important planets at 27° mutable signs will also be powerfully impacted. Mars is closely involved with the pair of eclipses in August 2017 as well as in the Libra Ingress at the...

  GLOBAL CONTEXT: THE OUTER PLANETS Most natal astrological work and commentaries focus primarily on the individual – a person’s career, financial, relationship, and other aspirations and probabilities of fulfillment. However, we know that whatever affects the planet we will have to face directly or indirectly, first as a common group of human, then as localized communities or nations, then as cities and regions, then as families, and finally as individuals. The one astrological symbolism speaks to all these levels of being and is not beholden to any one person. Our individual lives play out with our familial patterns as a context and reference point. The astrology of Family Dynamics brings a higher wisdom and level of truth to lend perspective to any life aspiration or issue that presents itself in an individual birth chart. The history of family is fascinating and instructive. After World War II, the concept of the sentimental and nuclear family went through significant changes...

 I refer to the following text from Julius Firmicus Maternus' Mathesis compendium, Book VIII, Section XXX, my parenthesis added: "Those who have their ASC in the 17th degree of Pisces will sing songs with sweet melody. But if Mars is found in that same degree, they will hang themselves with a noose (commit suicide)". WELL, THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY! But let us apply some understanding to what is going on here. Upon reflection of these two sentences, a technique emerged in my mind which I am detailing below by simple example. Pisces is rising with Mars on the Ascendant. Mars is placed in the 12th sign from Aries. Therefore Mars will also carry the signification of the 12th sign from its other sign, Scorpio. The 12th sign from Scorpio is Libra, which falls on the 8th sign of Death, and in this sign Mars is debilitated. Libra is (what I am calling) the Mirror Sign for Mars on the AC for Pisces Rising. Therefore, for Pisces rising, a general statement with Mars on the AC ...

  Rectification refers to the process of analysis and testing by which an astrologer confirms, arrives at, or in some way determines the birth time for a person. A time of birth is an important requirement before having an astrology consultation because it allows the astrologer to look at a chart of astrological symbolism that is unique to you. This significantly improves the interpretive and predictive relevance that the astrologer is then able to extract from it for you. I require all first time clients to have a Rectification consultation as due process. In this blog post, I endeavor to explain one of my reasons for doing so and some insights I have understood surrounding this matter of "birth time". I have been working with Rectification for the last 5 years now, and while that may not appear to be a long time, I work through 2-5 charts per week in my research and testing which, over a 5 year period, comes to 450 - 1125 different charts. Actually, the number of iterations...

  Important : This week’s Horoscopes have far-reaching significations because it is the week of a Solar Eclipse at 08° tropical Pisces which leads into the larger Venus Retrograde cycle which ends toward the end of April over the signs Pisces and Aries. So, you should read these horoscopes as indicating those activities that should get started this week, which have consequence over the following months to the end of April. The period of the Venus Retrograde shows a deep call for personal cleansing in an area of life that is needed, and in which we will be resolving and incorporating new insights for the rest of the year. *****PLEASE BOOKMARK THIS PAGE TO REVISIT THESE TOPICS AND CONTEMPLATIONS  EARLY APRIL 2017 AND EARLY OCTOBER 2017***** VENUS RETROGRADE (03 March - 16 April 2017) Venus Retrogrades form part of the Inferior Conjunction between Venus and the Sun, as seen from the point of view of the Earth.
