"Years ago, I realized something very interesting. I discovered that the interplay between the sun and the moon, and the signs they rule (Leo and cancer), when measured from each sign, defined a core motivation from each ascendant that is very easily seen, but not easily duplicated in any other way."

"We can analyze ascending signs many ways, based on the ruling planet, the elements and many other things. But there is also a visceral, core motivation that is revealed when we analyze these 2 signs/houses from that sign. One says "I don't know what to do about this" (Cancer), then the other says "Do this" (Leo). It is a default kind action/shadow play/overcompensation that I find fascinating and quite easy to grasp once you understand the Sun and Moon correctly."

"This is a technique I developed years ago to advise people on how to reconcile the internal tug of war that comes from the nodal axis. A lot of what we're trying to do with this axis is to overcome the false polarity and reconcile the obsessions of the north node with the disgust and withdrawal seen from the South node."

"In order to do this we need to find something that is common to both ends of the nodal axis. That common theme can be seen in a principle called "Bhavat Bhavam Compounding". Bhavat Bhavam is the idea that We can count houses from each other to derive meaning."

19:04:16     From Gayathri S : Hi Sam ! Thanks for the surprise sessions this week !  I was happy to attend these sessions and look forward to the March weekends.   These sensitive spots (Moon, Sun) in our Charts are the areas we are confused about in general, and also releasing the serpent is so accurate ! One can really sense the pull of the nodes... and our internal-external tug of 'war' with ourselves.  Great learning as always :)
