LOVE
An Appendix to Centaurs in Love
Copyright © 2008 by Klaudio Zic, all rights reserved. http://www.lulu.com/astrology
ORIGO
Love is a matter of culture. In the Bible is there mention of love between Adam and Eve? Bodies on sale are not love, reproduction is not love. Whole generations are born and die without love. Love, in other words, does not entirely pertain to this world at all.
MENS
The basic parasite, the psyche, being alien to man, knows nothing of love. Love is so rare that we had avatars reminding us of its very possibility. Love each other if you are in Christ.
NIKH
Venus is the warring planet from China to Greece. The troops as led by the warlord attack with Venus direct. They of course retreat with Venus retrograde. Mars stood for the enemy. The warlord was also the shaman or magus who would turn men into stone and vice versa as detailed descriptions of magical battles survive to this day. Such magickal legacy is well-known and readily available through eastern studies. Be it noted that we are speaking of black magick as at the time it was the only magick recorded. Anything white or dealing with the fifth element is dated much later as preserved mainly as medical manuscript. However it might be, the metal planet is the planet of war and victory. Mars rules Taurus, being otherwise occupied.
LILIT
Among the parasites or names for the one parasite we have the destructive item of Lilith that turns kundalini down to earth and into hell as it causes the slow death of the child. The main purpose of the mask is to make the absurd appearance seem improbable, that is, “I am so bizarre that I can not possibly exist”. Of course Lilith does exist, even not as planetoid, but as personal devil, and is surely not just a night demon, as it never sleeps.
URBI
The sleeper must awaken from slumber. It is midnight as :|:||: Cinderella awakens into Dark City. What does she see? “I see religious people!”, she might exclaim, but that would be too polite. She sees a sad rabble, a mess. The sad state into which humanity has been driven has no love at all.
MOROSI
Flower power flowered with Pluto in Coma Berenices but already with Pluto in Bootes she cried for the miracle of love, while others advocated hate and war. No astrologers were to blame because there were no astrologers at the time to witness; but perhaps we hearkened to the last balladeers. One Pluto cycle ago, already orgy ballads superseded over the Ragusean mandolin or Neapolitan mandòla. The serenade is instinctive to Mediterranean people who would play under the window for the lady, sometimes at the severe risk of a surprise shower. Lust was balanced by humor as life tended to be mostly a hard working day, but occasion for debauch never left as trade prospered. Somewhere along the way love has gone astray. We do not know where we have lost it. Where was she seen the last time? Who saw it? Was it me? Was it of this world? I know how to seduce, am infinitely charming as gallantly wrapped in my own gifts, but is it love? Do I unwrap my mandolin under that loving window? Today's kids need a little help from the GSM provider even in sending an SMS, while just a couple of generations ago we were writing sonnets. Sonnets! Yes, Milton, sonnets, aye.
FONS
Is love an upgrade of true mind? It is not written in the stars albeit there might be sympathy. The Tao is not hidden in the book. Poor Tao. It knows nothing of Yin or Yang and is yet accused to spawn creation. What is this mind we all possess? “I see same people”, the poet cries. Lust is coded in three basic ways, possibly squares. The Sun Moon square is the kiss, the Venus Mars square is jealousy and the Saturn Uranus square is fatality. Fatal attraction is therefore nothing compared to love. Synastry may have Venus 0 Mars with Mars 0 Venus, also Sun 0 Moon with Moon 0 Sun. There are some astrological combinations one may come upon only with the vulgar use of voodoo dolls.
MACHINA
It is too easy to know the future of a machine. Initiating a machine into predicting the ways of a machine is too easy. It takes 20 minutes to make an astrologer from a butcher. It is also fun to do so because it turns that he is a better astrologer than the florist. In 20 minutes anyone can learn how to predict. By predicting we mean year, month, day and hour of the event. The minute is an option. Thus the minute of your marriage is no secret to my florist (Campiel dei Morti) and butcher (address withdrawn). In 20 minutes both my butcher and florist became great astrologers. Mind it that they use no pen, paper, ephemeris and hardly know how to plug in a computer, which they never had. What are the gentlemen capable of doing? They simply scan the chart for mechanical love affairs in perhaps 15 minutes and determine all the loves in your life. I could teach them how to do it when we were prenatal schoolboys, if fact perhaps I did. However it might be, if my florist, who by the way is a she, can do it for fun, then everybody can. It is understandable that you do not have to be an astrologer to predict say 15 loves per quarter an hour. It also takes no high math to do that. Thinking about it, you do not even have to read or write to do it. Now imagine someone who thinks himself an astrologer. I would suggest to him to go to Campiel dei Morti, near Palaxo Graxi in San Samuel sestrier and ask the florist. Of course purchase flowers for the lady. You are standing in the place where Casanova bought his first flowers. This is the street he has been born into. San Samuel pico?a contrada grando borde?. It has always been a harlot's place.
ÆR
Love is in the air or perhaps Toledo where religion has become one book of love for all. One will find love in nature, poetry, even Zen. The original mind is always better. It is downright boring to have a mind that is capable only of mistreating oneself, has no magickal power and is absolutely useless. The psyche has to be eradicated at all costs, not even looked upon and not at all studied, which the mad German of course did for us. Dreams are more like Castaneda than Adler, even for those who never had any. Surely one who loves, dreams awake.

Chart, for reference.
http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/daa/12f/daa12f33-4fa9-4972-aa60-423742872f61
Ok, look, to be perfectly frank, I'm feeling massively depressed. Pretty severely.
I'm not looking for a transit to explain it, I'm just going to work with the portrait that is my natal chart.
Depression feels like a state in which frustration is inescapably the result of whatever avenue I tread, which begs the question "why bother at all".
I know this is an illusion, because I know that walking any path will make all the difference, so long as I keep to it, but it's not making anything easier.
This "I know, I know" feels ludicrous, and closely connected to my Sun and Mercury and South Node in Libra in the 3rd house.
It's square the moon, which is the beginning. The moon is in Cancer. Right on the cusp of the 12th house, but still, as far as the chart gets concerned, lies in the "social" 11th house.
Chiron also chills there, though governed by Gemini, and snuggles close to Lilith.
I keep feeling challenges integrating myself with the rest of the populace and tend to make a rush towards the security of the #@%(*ing computer. Naturally this allows me to explore a facet of the social 11th house while remaining all beautifully secluded (12th)
I know that I can come off as very friendly and warm, and I don't often have too much difficulty making friends. The friends are of varied backgrounds, ages, genders, and dispositions. Not many of them get deep, though. I suppose it's an intentional wall that I keep up. It's hard to climb over, though. Doesn't feel like I installed a gate. Sometimes I'll just put up a silent front and retreat entirely. With them in front of me. It ceases to be my concern. Venus and Pluto in Scorpio in the 4th house?
But I know, ultimately, that it doesn't really help my cause. Knowing never helped me change, it'd seem.
There are times when I can speak quite frankly about my emotions, but for a series of months it has become increasingly difficult.
Perhaps it's because I just don't give a hot damn about a lot of the "normal" things that surface.
Mars square MC? Seems somehow appropriate.
Is the fact that Aquarius occupying my Descendant somehow reflecting the Macrocosmic challenge with groups found in the 11th house into the interpersonal relationships engaged on the more Microcosmic 1 on 1 level?
I know that Saturn and Uranus floating around the 5th house (Sagittarius) are playing a big role in it. Creative Autonomy, and the Weight of all that as well.
The fact that Leo holds my Ascendant only heightens the sensations I get from Saturn. Weighty. Tremendous responsibility for my own ass, for the reprecussions of my actions. For what I create. I don't want my synthesis to be anything bland or the same old same old. Nor do I want it to be trite or pathetic. I am a lover of well balanced and crafted, graceful golden glowing forms, as I am of the truly peculiar and out there. I would love to synthesize the two.
Certainly Neptune in the northern tip of the 5th house, in Capricorn, plays a role in this route.
Mars is also chilling with Capricorn. The two (Mars and Neptune) feel far more at odds than reconciled.
Probably another connection with the whole Saturnian approach, Capricorn holding Mars.
My biggest issue, as highlighted by Aries, is action. Up and doing it.
I know, I know, a thousand times I know that that's what'll solve my is action. It doesn't help me feel motivated to do it.
I'm just feeling at a total loss on how to reconcile myself with myself, myself with society, myself with others in intimate situations, myself with my ideals, myself with my creativity, and myself with my fucking comfort level.
It would feel nice to care.
I'm sure astrology is at best a method to highlight it and far from any real adequate solution, and believe me, I'm exploring other avenues.
But I'm also sure there's a decent bit of information and insight that can be gleaned by people who've made a point of studying this art.
I know none of you owe me anything.
Hell, I know none of you really know me.
Still, I'd appreciate it.
Anything that pops up, NOT AS THE CAUSE, BUT AS A FORCE TO FOCUS ON TO HELP SHIFT THE ENERGETICS, would be greatly appreciated.
I can come up with innumerable justifications, many of them fit snugly with the diagram.
I want a route out.
Is there something depicted in the second house that might help balance out the lunatic third?
Something to be found in the 8th, 9th, 10th, 7th, 12th, anything?
Some aspect?
I d'know. I'd appreciate insight.

"This article was written for the AA's research periodical Correlation in 2001. Many thanks to Mrs Pat Harris (Ed.) for permission to reproduce a revised version. The author was introduced to Correlation by Michael Edwards QHP, whose introduction to the series of articles is reproduced below.
Circumpolar horoscopy, though largely ignored, has long been the subject of quiet controversy and ill-informed debate. Perhaps no other field of astrological enquiry provides more depressing evidence of just how far practitioners have become removed from the real sky. Most current astrological software yields incorrect circumpolar charts - or none at all - while some programmes bypass the question of the MC altogether by defaulting to Equal houses at 67N. But even this does not guarantee a correct Ascendant.
The problem is but one of perception, compounded over the years by prejudice; indeed some of the suggestions advanced seem to owe more to the need to draw a horoscope as we expect to see it than to any understanding of the real sky. One oft-heard view suggests that these things don't matter, because we "don't cast charts for up there," but of course it does matter if we are to care at all about consistent chart construction.
In truth, correct orientation of the angles can and does vary according to the system of house division employed but such variance can never justify inconsistent results. In showing what happens to the angles beyond the polar circles, we aim to correct a few common misconceptions, so let us bear in mind that:
a) though we discuss charts cast for northern latitudes, the principles outlined will always apply globally.
b) some references to 'houses' may not always apply to the pseudo quadrant systems (those that retain the MC while otherwise dividing the ecliptic alone: Porphyry, Alcabitius, etc.), and they will rarely apply to Equal or Sign/House. Systems that divide merely the ecliptic require separate discussion.
c) the term 'great circle' signifies a line drawn round the inside or outside of a globe, which also constitutes a circumference of that globe. On Earth, for example, this applies to the Equator or to circles of longitude, whereas those of geographic latitude are known as 'small circles' since they do not constitute a circumference.
In all horoscopes cast for sub-arctic latitudes, we obtain the main angles from two great semi circles, both of which start from the local horizon at the point due south. The first semi circle, which produces the Ascendant, tracks the horizon from south to north, passing through the point due east. The second, which produces the Medium Coeli (MC), rises upwards from the south point of the horizon, passes directly overhead, and then descends to rejoin the horizon at the point due north.
Their opposing semi circles, one to the west, the other passing from south to north underfoot, generate the Descendent and Imum Coeli (IC), respectively. The entire construction looks like a gyroscope lying on its side. As this is the arrangement adopted by most quadrant systems of house division, at all latitudes between the Equator and 66N, we must question procedures which, at 67N and beyond, obtain the Ascendant or MC from these opposing great semi circles. This is precisely what many have prescribed in advising us, for example, to obtain the MC from a degree which falls below the horizon. In fact, to switch semi circles is neither necessary nor desirable. ......"
