I’ve just arrived home from an almost two week long trip to paradise, aka Maui’s west coast. As I often do on returning from a trip, I’ve been cleaning and organising. This time around, it’s been rather gung ho though, as the Moon is in Virgo, and the Sun, Venus and Mars are in Aries.
Big cleaning jobs – like behind the stove – have been tackled, as rather than put things off, the current astro vibe has me wanting to do things now.
Reflections between Virgo and Aries
Virgo and Aries share a connection through antiscia, whereby signs reflect light to each other across the solstice axis. When the Sun is in Virgo or Aries, day length is about the same, as these two signs are both between 60 – 90 days away from the Cancer solstice.
Antiscia connections are subtle but noticeable, and this link between Aries and Virgo can show why some Virgos are great at getting things done (a classic Aries trait), and why some Aries are great organisers (a typical Virgo quality).
Working Out Antiscia
Planets in Aries reflect by antiscia to Virgo, and vice versa. The degrees of each placement are adjusted within the 30 degree range of each sign.
For instance, Mars may be at 9 Aries physically, which shows that his light or influence is, by antiscia, reflected to 21 Virgo. The Sun may be at 4 Aries, and thus by antisicia its energy flows to 26 Virgo.
Working out antiscia is a simple matter of subtracting the actual planet’s placement from 30 – the answer is the degree placement in its respective antiscia sign.
Antiscia Signs
Antiscia signs are as follows:
Gemini – Cancer
Leo – Taurus
Virgo – Aries
Libra – Pisces
Scorpio – Aquarius
Sagittarius – Capricorn
Antiscia and You
If you’re new to antiscia, consider the antiscia sign (and therefore house according to your natal chart) of your Sun and Moon. Do these antiscia factors help explain a quirk in your nature?
