Welcome to the Astrological Society of North Texas! July 2015

Meetings –

Join us Sunday, July 12, 2015 at 1:30 pm, at 1st Jefferson Universalist Church. We will hear Rhavda Emison discuss numerology.

Numerology goes back to the beginning of mankind and we use different forms of it today in everything that we do. If you stop and think about it everything is broken down into numbers. Your birthdate is unique. No one else has your exact name and birthdate or the numbers that you have. You have a social security number. You have a telephone number. You have a license tag number for your car and you have identification numbers for almost everything that you have. You especially have to have identification numbers for your Internet

usage and then, You have your Name and your birthdate. Come and learn about you through your birthdate! Learn about your Birthdate through the Tic Tac Toe Birth Box. Learn how it tells you about yourself. Lean how to determine your own personal approach to what is going on around you. You will understand yourself and the patterns that come from your birthdate much better and

will equip yourself with tools that will help you the rest of your life. Rhavda Emison is a Master

Predictive Numerologist with over 40 years of experience. She uses an ancient numerology system based on the Hebrew Kaballah. She has written Numerology: The First Source (Prima Materia), which you can purchase from her. She also lectures, teaches and is available for consultations. Rhavda is also an Internationally certified & master Aromatherapist and Herbalist and owns Scents of Success Aromatherapy and Wellness Products, specializing in essential oils and wellness products, including DoTerra Essential Oils.

ASNT Membership Meeting Minutes June 14, 2015 11 members in attendance, 2 guests Marie opened the meeting at 1:45 p.m. requesting old business discussion. Sandra announced she had updated the state franchise tax online. Two guests (Florette and Jonathan Firestone) introduced themselves. (Karen Beatty, a visitor, joined the meeting in progress.) There was no new business to discuss. Marie announced she will be out of town and a volunteer would be needed to host the July meeting. Christy Hall volunteered. Wayne announced the ASNT website now has an online store where memberships can be purchased or renewed. In addition, visitors can add workshop enrollment to their cart or donate to the organization online. Christy announced the July meeting speaker will be Rhavda Emison, who will talk about numerology. Betty Ann Ruyle will speak in August. The September and October speakers will be announced soon. Christy then introduced the June meeting speakers Russell Olhausen and Donna Woodwell, who opened the presentation by asking attendees to "suspend what you believe about astrology." They then introduced the group to concepts such as spirals and symmetrical patterns, the Fibonacci sequence (a repeating pattern centered on 9), LaGrange mathematics from the 1700s. They explained that astrology is important because it is a language that describes the pattern. The meeting concluded at 3:37 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Susan Gray Secretary

“Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate? Astrology, that’s who!!”

It’s kick off month for astrology by the numbers, better known as Numerology, and even some astrology by the color, better known as a blue moon. The next two months we host speakers on numerology, a deeper and different look at the rhythms and cycles on the subject. Be sure to join us on the second Sunday.

But let’s take a look at the first full moon before we look at the second one of the month, hence the blue moon. It rolls in July 1st, in Capricorn while our sun is in Cancer. Maternal homebody Cancer and entrepreneurial Capricorn. Astrological opposites. Try to find your meeting of the minds in that full moon synergy, and your in line for the next new moon, (plant seeds after you figure out what to do) this time in home base Cancer on the 15th. A Mars-Pluto opposition plays out on the same day. With Pluto jousting in Capricorn this decade, be on the lookout for big mouthed, big business types being Mars like forceful fighting for their turf. (Hmmm, sounds like the presidential debates we get to look forward to.) Pluto is transforming you, Mr. Big business – bye, bye! Micro-breweries are all the rage, could other micro businesses be far behind? Hey, who do you trust? The guy next door or some faceless suit in New York?

We cap off the months end with a second full moon – a blue moon on the 31st. Blue Moon is also a well-known microbrew beer. See the pattern here? The sun will be in Leo by then, and the full moon takes place in Aquarius. Hear the roar for scientific, innovations in store for us. Perhaps it will be about Cuba’s medical discovery that fights Aids from spreading from mothers to their infants. My, won’t big business pharmaceuticals be at wits end they didn’t figure it out first!

Have a great July and remember to join us on the 12th!

Marie Loeb, ASNT President 2015

Making sure a planet is direct and in good aspect for activities represented by their rulership, we find that- Sun, Mercury and Mars will all trine Neptune this month, and oppose Pluto. The July 15th New Moon looks especially potent and she receives Mars this month so unfortunately she will be allowing his misguided instigations. Make sure she is in good houses and aspects, and try to give her the upper hand when you can. Mars in his fall all month makes for unsuccessful technological activities since it disposes Uranus.

to Jennifer, Donna, and Sylvia! All of our July birthdays have the wonderful conjunction of Jupiter and Venus in sunny creative Leo, and the approaching Mars opposite Pluto prominent, as Mars will be close to their suns.

Donna’s chart shows the solar return ascendant in the natal first house, and the sun is in the 11th house of hopes, dreams and groups. It is a good time to assess your goals and friends can help you especially if you would like to publish something (mars ruler of 9th in 11) and Sun applying to Uranus in the 9th. You could have someone publish something through the internet for you. Jennifer’s solar return has Libra on the ascendant, the

ruler of the 7th house of interaction (mars) along with the 11th house ruler (sun) conjunct the midheaven, and the chart ruler (venus) in the 11th house of groups and

friends, conjunct Jupiter. These important planets have intense aspect to the ruler of the 2nd house of values (Pluto). The solar return chart also shows a sextile in the “others” half between Neptune and the moon. In the natal chart they are sesquiquadrate (where you go overboard) so you have a great opportunity to learn how to deal with these planets in a new way. Sylvia has the natal 3rd house rising, focusing on short trips and communication. The chart ruler Saturn in the 10th with a connection between Jupiter, Venus and Mercury inconjunct the Capricorn ascendant and square/inconjunct it’s ruler echoing a natal configuration that shows friction between having fun and taking control/responsibility. Will send a few more notes to you folks!

The preceding solar return interpretations are in no way comprehensive, if you would like to share your thoughts with their owners. ____________ Become a member of ASNT!
