Global Gatherings Astrology Conference

GLOBAL GATHERINGS 2011 – Ema Kurent -- November 20 2011 – Ljubljana Slovenia

ECLIPSES - THE PROGRESSED MOON - Perigee/Apogee

Ema Kurent is the most famous astrologer in Slovenian. We first met about 12 years ago on my 3rd or 4th visit to Slovenia. Her astrological annuals are even sold at the local post offices. And, for the past year, she offers a personal daily transit report, a report that one receives by e-mail daily. This can be obtained at www.astrojoy.com I receive this every day and enjoy seeing what the transits will be throughout the day. She also lists the major transits and progressions for the month and the year.

It is always a treat to meet with Ema since she is a scholarly astrologer with adept knowledge on many fields and systems of astrology. At this meeting, she discussed Pre-Natal Eclipses, which she prefers to call Co-Natal Eclipses (I will use this term in this article). On this topic, she has been influenced by Bill Meridian and Charles Jayne. Research has shown that eclipses are powerful destiny markers – they are used in Mundane (the charts of countries and of famous people) and Natal predictive astrology.

NOTE: I have an article based upon my lecture notes of Bill’s workshop at UAC that is posted on my website. I did not copy material from his book or his handouts. I only converted my lecture notes into an article.

The Eclipse before and after birth plays an important role in the destiny and character of the individual. For example, the eclipse that made Obama rise in his station was the eclipse that occurred after his birth.

Ema places great importance on Eclipses and the nodal points in relation to birth chart. If a person has a close aspect of natal planets with the co-natal eclipse, that planet plays a major role in the life -- and it can make the individual outstanding in some way – for good or ill.

The Houses that are activated by the eclipse – and the Co-Natal Eclipse can be solar or lunar but solar is always more powerful – shows the battle field or area of intense activity in the life. It is a Battlefield because of the pull of the nodes in 2 different directions, trying to find equilibrium.

Harmonious aspects with benefics – such as a sextile from the natal Venus -- to the eclipse point is beneficial to the life and the Houses will not be a battlefield.

Ema brought up an interesting area of research – the progressed Perigee and Apogee of the Moon! At calculator for the closest and farthest position of the Moon can be obtained at http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/pacalc.html

For the progressed position, you need to make the calculation for your year of birth. This will be part of my lecture on the Progressed Moon for the BREAKING DOWN THE BORDERS Conference in December 2012.

I always look at the Perigee Moon when it occurs near a New of Full Moon…or an eclipse. I have an article on this topic on my website with the Retrogrades for the current year.

Ema is a self-taught astrologer who has also studied with many famous astrologers in Europe. Being primarily self-taught, she has many innovative ideas and she is sufficiently knowledgeable to challenge the thinking of the famous astrologer, if she does not agree. I can always tell if an astrologer is self-taught because they are not molded by the teaching of another astrologer, especially if the teacher is a famous astrologer. The concept of using the progressed Perigee and Apogee Moon was a totally new concept for me and I immediately began researching the impact in the progressed chart.

Ema has observed that the Perigee Moon has a lunar quality and the Apogee Moon has solar quality. During the Perigee periods, woman, children and public play important role in life – publicity, family, children and popularity are highlighted. During the Apogee years, this is the least emotional and the most objective time of life. Objective decisions are made. Ambition plays an more important role. This Cycle is career oriented and self-sufficient. These will be major turning points in life for these extreme phases of the progressed Moon. Ema uses the Moon for the timing of the greater transits, such as the Uranus-Pluto square. The Moon is an activator.

Ema Kurent has an article that was published in THE MOUNTAIN ASTROLOGER in April-May 2012 edition. The title is – LET’S GET OUT OF THE TRAP – out of just looking at the circle of astrology. The article focuses upon Declination and Latitude in the birth chart. Ema is also a frequent writer for the N.C.G.R. publications.

TIMING OF MY TRIP IN NOVEMBER 2011 & URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS:

Every time I take a major trip I always look at the Moon’s aspects for the period AFTER I leave my home for the airport. On November 13, 2011, the Moon was in Gemini and the aspects occurring after I left my home were a Grand Air Trine with Saturn in Libra and Neptune in Aquarius. The last aspect that the transiting Moon makes before you leave can tell of some situation that occurred before leaving. This aspect was an opposition to Venus.

I discuss UTI prevention and other medical remedies in COMMON CURES I on my website under “Medical Astrology.” Stress can also trigger UTIs and I am always highly stressed getting ready for my trips to Europe. When I arrive at the airport, I am fine but, during the week leading up to the trip, I often become physically ill. With the Moon opposing Venus before starting the trip, the stress led to a urinary tract infection.

The first line of defense is to take 5 pearls of Cranberry Concentrate. Since I did not have time to see a doctor, I looked at what was available at Vitamin Shoppe – there I found a miracle cure! There is a 3-day treatment produce called UT ANSWER (http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=BB-1455) but it seems to work with a few hours. It costs $30 but this is much cheaper and better for the body than a visit to a medical doctor. On my trips, it is essential to drink a LOT of water. This flushes out the bacteria. I visited a doctor friend in Slovenia and she advised that the cranberry formula was better than any antibiotics that she could give me.

Astrologically, when starting a trip, I personally like the Moon’s last aspect to be favorable to Neptune. This is not always possible now that Neptune has changed signs whereby it will only be in early degrees for many years. There is an exception – the Moon can be parallel Neptune. With this aspect, I always sense that a Guardian Angel is with me, guiding me and even speaking to be. Even when I bought a new car in January 2012, I chose a day with the only aspect being a trine to Neptune. I had a vision of the car that I would purchase and I knew the Dealer where I would get the best buy. Magically, my dad gave me $11,000 towards the car (the Fiesta, with all of the discounts only cost $15,700 and gets 45 mpg) and by 12pm I was driving it out of the dealer parking lot.

On my website at www.lynnkoiner.com – I have a list of Good Days (using electional astrology) which can be found on the homepage (or Search for Good Days). Anyone can use these dates, regardless of their natal chart. I also list the good days in my Astro-Column that anyone can request. This comes out monthly.

NOTE: In 2012, I will be leaving on October 14 with the aspect before leaving being a contra-parallel to Venus and the aspects after commencing the trip to be parallel Sun, trine Jupiter, parallel Saturn, Mars trine Uranus), Moon conjunct Sun and, most important for me, the last aspect is a parallel to Neptune!

In electional work, always use the Parallel aspect. It is considered a powerful conjunction. The impact of the parallel is more permanent that the contra-parallel, which rules temporary connections.
