PRACTICING THE EA PARADIGM BY USING THE CHARTS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE

[Kristin]

Hi Rad and group,

Here are some additions that connect more to her personal/intimate side as well as the subject of projected guilt that she has carried forward.

***

Gaga  - the Phenom

At her root....she is wild, powerful and radical. She holds nothing back in the way she expresses herself and she never has..which is why she has notoriously and repeatedly gotten tackled and  tangled up in the patriarchal web.

At her root she is a penetratingly sexual, in her original form, a channel for the divine and a messenger from the other world to here and back again. Pluto in Scorpio conjunct the South Node in Scorpio in the 11th trine Jupiter and Vesta in Pisces in the 3rd house. Also her Moon, the planet that rules her 8th house, a natural Scorpio house, is in Scorpio in the 12th and this trines her Mercury in Pisces in the 3rd.

The root chakra has three layers each ruled by a different planet. At the raw core or the root is Pluto, the Soul. The middle layer is Uranus which represents our vibratory nature and the outer layer or casing is Saturn, the energy that protects and defends us. Gaga’s Pluto and South node are in Scorpio which is ruled by Pluto, the Metamorphasizer. Gaga’s Original Lilith which is the Goddess that represents the woman’s root in total, just like the trunk of a tree is in Uranus, the channel, the rebel, the transformer and it is in the 3rd house, the house of the messenger. Original Lilith is also conjunct her South Node of Venus in Aquarius in the 3rd reflecting her role of messenger for others. The ruler Uranus is in Sagittarius, which is conjunct her SN of Mars at 28 degrees, (as Linda pointed out conjunct the galactic center - Gaga brings forth a great deal of cellular memory of the matriarchy and of living in greater harmony with nature and the whole.) and they are trining Venus in Aries, the ruler of her 11thouse cusp in Libra where her South Node and Pluto reside, Venus also rules the North Node and is conjunct that point.  In natural times this reflects a Soul who in essence had the capacity to link the experience of being human on Earth with the astral world via her sexual communion with others, being a sacred consort in the tribe to those who are ready to be ‘initiated’. This can also be seen with Pluto in Scorpio in the 11th making a sextile(fate aspect at 51 degrees) to Mars and Neptune in Capricorn. Being a leader and a front runner on the subject. Her having the ‘authority’ from ‘on high’ to deliver the goods so to speak.

The planets that rule the second chakra, the sacred womb, where the ‘divine’ exchanges occur are Jupiter and Neptune. The Asteroid Vesta is reflected in this second chakra. Jupiter conjuncts Vesta in Pisces and forms a grand trine with Gaga’s South Node and Pluto in Scorpio and Pallas in Cancer in the 7th. Neptune, ruler of her Jupiter sextiles her South Node and Pluto. Neptune is conjunct Mars, the initiator, and they are conjunct the South Node of Mars in Cap, ruler Saturn in Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter and the circle is complete. Saturn also trines her Sun in Aries in the 4th, ruler Mars in the first conjunct Neptune, all of these themes keep circling back.

Gaga is a naturally intense Soul who needs to go to the depths and back again in her intimate relations with others, because of how she was designed by God but also in part because of her own direct experience of total immersion with the ONE in other times. Once any Soul has had a taste of eternity in their sexual unions, the hunger to re-experience this merging will linger long and hard until the experience is recovered.  Gaga has found her way ‘into the divine’ in certain shared unions, Pluto in Scorpio on the South Node her the 11th house, ruler, Moon in Scorpio in the 12th.  which will forever keep her searching to fill that inner void. You can also see the inner ache and the loss of that sacred feeling/connection with her Pluto inconjunct Venus in Aries in the 5th. Most of  her creative and sexual energy as been moving out, versus circling up and down the chakras in the sexual spiritual center.
 
On the one hand it will take a great deal for her to absolutely trust another, to be able to become totally vulnerable with them as this trust has been abused in the past leading to all sorts of personal trauma seen in the very same signatures mentioned above. She may very well be afraid of her own intensity and where that leads sexually speaking because of how extreme her nature is and the consequences culturally speaking of her natural wiring and sexual design. She may have extended that trust in others who she felt were just like she was, and had the same intentions and desires, that they want to go as far as she wanted to go, yet her 12th house Moon in Scorpio may have caused her to get swept away in the illusion of the depth of her own fantasies. You can see she has always chosen partners like herself that were just as eccentric in the way they related to the world as she is, also self reliant and freedom loving in their own ways. This is seen with Libra on the 11th house cusp where her South Node and Pluto reside, also her South Node of Venus is in Aquarius in the 2nd house. In relationships, the challenge lies in her Venus in Aries, creating an emotional paradox where she will only attract partners that meet some of her needs, because of her own need for freedom, this will guarantee her an exit point if necessary. Her Mars in Cap squaring her Sun in Aries in the 4th also reflects her own emotional repression which will cause her to attract partners based on that limited 'signal' considering everything she herself is holding back. This will not equal the natural fit, more like the forced fit, at least early on. Also as wild and open as she is publicly, I imagine she is still guarded intimately to some degree with Mars in Cap squaring her 4th house Sun in Aries, she will have a fear of being vulnerable yet that is also the only way back to experiencing meaningful communions, and ultimately the only way back to God.

The ruler of her 11th house cusp is Venus in Aries which is conjunct the North Node in Taurus, and also the ruler of the North Node. This re-states needing partners that are they themselves self starters and self reliant, that they also need freedom like she does, and that she needs a partner who can support her own need for individual expression without ever feeling threatened by it. Her Amazon is at 29 Taurus, ruler Venus in Aries and this trines Uranus in Sagittarius. More than anything she needs to trust in her partner but also for that trust to be extended to her. She has mentioned before that she has experienced her ‘boyfriends’ feeling jealous or threatened when she sees a beautiful woman and comments on her. The challenge here is that Gaga is naturally bi-sexual, an androgynous Soul and will need to express equally both sides of gender, her ORIGINAL LILTH is in Aquarius in the 3rd house. Also Pallas in Cancer in the 7th house represents a woman who naturally expresses both sides of gender, her male and female sides, the yin and the yang of who she is. “Because Pallas powerfully expressed  both her male and female sides, she symbolized the movement of Soul development toward androgyny (D.George)” Her connection with the sign Libra is her ongoing pursuit to keep both sides of gender in balance and to lead by example and through her music to the world the need to de-condition sex role typing. Gaga has Pallas in Cancer in the 7th, a Libra house and it trines her Pluto, South Node and Jupiter in the 3rd. Thus she will need a partner who can also express both sides of their gender equally so. In this conditioned world this may be a tall order.

She may have tried to make it work in a more traditional setting in other times, ie one male partner because culturally her actual nature may not have been allowed to be expressed. Not that Gaga ever followed cultural norms but certain lives that preceded this may have sent her Soul into relative hiding sexually speaking when the persecutions got the best of her. The hiding of her natural nature is seen with Saturn in Sag squaring her Jupiter in Pisces in the 3rd. The repression of her natural nature is seen with Mars in Cap conjunct South Node of Mars in Cap, squaring her Aries Sun in the 4th. The repression creates distortion anger and rage and  a great deal of this still brews deep within her. With her natal Pluto making a Gibbous opposition to her Venus in Aries, ruler Mars as well as Sn of Mars in Cap, conjunct Neptune squaring her Sun in Aries in the 4th, the Sun is inconjunct her Pluto, a male partner in a past life may have killed her female lover because of jealousy. He may have tried to hide what happened too with Saturn in Sag, the ruler of her Mars/Neptune in Cap, squaring Jupiter in Pisces, covering up of the truth. The other possibility within this is that Gaga may have been framed or blamed, Mars in Cap conjunct Neptune, Square her Sun in Aries in the 4th, for the death of her lover. So she carries forward guilt for something she either didn’t do or for something that she thought she might have been able to prevent. Pluto on the South Node in Scorpio opposes her Venus in Aries, this Sesquisquare Saturn in sag, the ruler of her Mars/Sn Mars/Neptune conjunction in Cap.


Some additional re-live symbols are also seen with the  North Node of Chiron conjunct her South Node/Pluto and her South Node of Chiron conjunct her Venus and her North Node. Another story that came to me was Gaga having a life as I had mentioned in my prior post of being a hermaphrodite, this signature seen with natal Chiron in the 7th in Gemini, Mercury, ruler of the 7th house cusp is in Pisces in the 3rd and squares Uranus in Sag in the 1st. Chiron also opposes Saturn in Sagittarius in the first.This strikes me as a signature of her nature in a life as a hermaphrodite being discovered, like a surprise discovery, the church finding out, and another being horrified of her body, being told that she was deformed, ugly or evil and not a child of God...this leading to the projected guilt that she must have done something in a past life to deserve this. Lucifer is in Cancer in the 8th, ruler Moon in Scorpio in the 12th, inconjunct her Pallas in Cancer in the 7th.If she was burned, thrown in the loonie bin, verbally told messages while been persecuted for being different, it does not matter how non conforming or radical a Soul is, these wounds will carry forward, these harsh messages about how her nature was deformed Saturn in Sag squaring Pisces in the 3rd, perhaps messages like, Not even God would love you’ - she knew different of course, but still those messages are like arrows shot straight into the heart of the Soul.

The fact that she ended up attending an all girls Catholic School reflects also the re-live scenario surrounding certain people that may have betrayed her in the past in those settings and the need to circle back for redemption.It appears she holds an inner storage chest of anger at the church and the patriarchy, especially because somewhere within the church she had also extended the trust and that trust was violated. She also very well may have fallen in love with someone of 'the cloth’. I might not have mentioned this but I just watched a great movie called “The 3rd Miracle" with Ed Harris and there were priests in our history that were very evolved that got caught up in the patriarchy in their own way, thinking that somehow they needed to be celibate, to keep their energy 'purely’ for God, that maybe they thought the church may have been right that spirit was antagonistic to flesh. Perhaps for Gaga it also swung in the other extreme, someone far younger than herself who may have been a Soul she had sexually initiated in more natural times, but in both or either case a cultural taboo in more recent times. In these cases I can see the punishment symbols connected to the forbidden love, and the love denied leading to a crisis and then the projected guilt that followed, Gaga’s Pluto in Scorpio on the South Node making a Gibbous opposition to Venus in Aries, ruler Mars in Capricorn conjunct Neptune, ruler Saturn, squaring Jupiter in Pisces -  disillusionment and immense anger with Mars and Neptune squaring her 4th house Sun in Aries the result. These same symbols can also connect with her following a false teacher, and being sold a spiritual bill of goods or simply a person in the church who claimed to be ‘holier than thou, someone she thought she could trust, deceiving her.

This same Pluto/Venus Gibbous phase inconjunct connects to her attraction to power, to having it and to being able to use it to change the world and also being attracted to others who have it in order to help her mission. I can see how she may have also been attracted to people who had power and fame in order to help her spread her own message ie they had the resources, connections to help her go further and faster. So she may have ‘used’ others in certain situations for these purposes, perhaps in some cases these were people who rendered her powerless in the past, and then, and possibly now she is using the very power of others that destroyed her in the past to help propel her forward. Part of Gaga’s re-live is also linked with quite a bit of karma connected with attracting people who have betrayed her many times over, Pluto in Scorpio on the South Node, ruler of 11th house cusp in Libra is Venus in Aries conjunct the North Node attracting people who ‘owe’ her and as what occurs as anyone evolves, she is re-attracting people who have betrayed her - they now being given an opportunity to do the right thing, to right the ship in many instances it will not even begin to repay her for what occurred in the past, nevertheless they will meet again, for better or for worse. She is learning WHO TO TRUST again starting with HERSELF and in her own ability to read other people’s intentions, to use her laser like capacity to read the true motives of others.

On a personal level Gaga has always needed total freedom to express her own unique individuality and extremity intimately, she wants to express whatever is being BORN out of her naturally. She is a Soul who needs to be the creative director in her intimate expression, naturally empowered when she is in charge always changing the scenery and spaces of her intimate unions and to be able to be who she is without limits. I can also see her in costume in various ways just like she is on stage. She needs to be the yin and the yang and everything in between. She needs to go to the very depths of expression, holding nothing back and she needs to be in ultimate control of how things go and how it unfolds. Once she trusts again with her total being she can finally be in a place of surrender and receptivity, she can allow herself to be tended to, but until she finds a Soul that loves her for exactly who she is and who she can trust to the core, she will continue to be let down. She claims she has had a history of bad love experiences, but she is still young, so time will tell how it will unfold.

She entered this life demanding creative freedom and  independence, North Node in Taurus, ruler Venus in Aries conjunct the North Node. Also Sun in Aries trine Saturn in the first, the ruler of her Mars in Cap in the first. She needs to be the director of her own play as well as the director of the bedroom stage but at the end of the day she will need a partner she can ‘get naked’ with in every way, a partner she can ‘let it all down’ with, Mars in Cap conjunct Neptune in Cap sextile Pluto/South Node in Scorpio a partner who will be a trusted friend and confidant, SN in Scorp in the 11th, conjunct Pluto in Scorp in the 11th. A partner who is just as strong, reliable, sensitive and playful as she is, Mars in Cap trine North Node in Taurus, ruler Venus in Aries in the 5th house. And a partner she can trust with her deepest, darkest secrets and never feel judged or fear that they will love her any less for who she is, every face that she wears and every voice she expresses. She will need a partner who can push the royal limits sexually speaking taking her further than where she has been ever before, using a diversity of experiences to get there. Ultimately she wants to be at the very center of her partner and feel them at the very center of her, South Node in Scorpio conjunct Pluto in Scorpio, also the Moon in Scorpio in the 12th house, not knowing where one stops and the other stars, she needs total immersion.

Gaga’s Resolution Lilith is in Taurus in the 6th, which reflects her desire to serve and to go to bat for the underdog, to be on their team so to speak. The be on the international front lines for them, center stage and front page, ruler Venus is in Aries conjunct her North Node in the 5th. Her resolution Lilith in Taurus also reflects what Rad was speaking about, where this is headed for her in the next few lives, a few lives of deep reflection, an investment of sacred service and dedication, Taurus, to her personal return, inverting that massive production of energy and harnessing that for the inner work that will prepare her for being a Warrior for God. Resolution Lilith makes a grand trine with Ceres in Virgo in the 9th,  Mars, and Neptune in Cap in the 1st, ruler Saturn in Sagittarius, to return to her total nature, with Mother nature, perhaps back in the woods with the animals and the deva spirits, remembering her South Node of Mars is in Sagittarius and conjunct the Galactic Center. Her Resolution Lilith in Taurus also conjuncts her North Node of Venus in Taurus as well as the Pluto Polarity point and the lunar North Node in Taurus, which can reflect a more monastic experience herself but this will be done in a more natural environment and will in her case involve sexual rituals to recover her natural root and spiritual capacity to help others, back to the way she was created. The return to her original root can also be seen with Mars, the lead point in her evolution, conjunct Neptune (God) and her South Node of Mars in Sagittarius. Mars, South node of Mars and Neptune form the tip of the kite, with Pluto, South Node, Jupiter and Vesta at the wings. She will be re-remembering through direct experience, Mars, her natural sacred sexual roots, SN Mars in Sagittarius and this direct connection to her relationship to the Creator, Neptune.

Peace,
Kristin

Hi Rad and group,

Here is my analysis of the relive dynamic in Lady Gaga’s chart:

The relive condition in this chart (SN conjunct Pluto both in 11th/Scorpio) suggests that the Soul will be required in this lifetime to continue the work it has already been doing in prior lifetimes of developing a deeper and more objective understanding of the nature of its intimate relationships and particularly the power dynamics in those relationships.  The Soul has experienced a tremendous and compulsive intensity in such relationships and has crossed many boundaries in sexual and intimate situations in past lifetimes, as well as had its own boundaries crossed.  Often these have been traumatic experiences which have led to a split in the Soul such that it has been both deeply and totally involved in these relationships, yet at the same time also detached and observational, apart from itself, seeking to develop a more objective understanding of itself in these situations as well as to understand the reasons why it has been driven to these depths.  Ultimately the evolutionary intention for the Soul is to move beyond this patterning to a freer experience of embodied love and self-expression (NN 5th/Taurus conjunct Venus 5th/Aries) , however it still has more to do in terms of understanding the old relational patterns before the new expression can really take hold, hence it must relive the old patterns in this lifetime, truly understand their limitations before it can fully throw them off (Venus gibbous phase to Pluto, approaching opposition) and proceed with its next step evolutionarily.  In particular the Soul in this lifetime is being made to come to terms with the limitations of its past approach to relationships and to understand the deep wounds and splits it is carrying relative to these experiences, wounds which it has tended to project out onto others rather than see within itself (Pluto full phase inconjunct Chiron in Gemini/7th).

Another way of describing this Soul’s journey relative to intimate relationships is that of deep Soul fragmentation to integration (11th/5th), but for this integration to really take hold it is necessary for the Soul to re-experience the fragmentation so that the integration occurs at a deep level.  Hence, in this lifetime, the Soul will be confronted through crises with its profound relational wounding and confusion (Pluto inconjunct Chiron in Gemini/7th), with the evolutionary intention of thoroughly and objectively understanding the reasons for this wounding and confusion.

The reasons themselves are related to the Soul’s experience with dark eros.  As we have already discussed, this Soul has had a very extreme history of relationships and activism of various kinds, and has probably tried out just about every combination and permutation of relationship possible.  And along the way, her Soul has faced, over and over again, the conditioning effects of patriarchal lies regarding the split of flesh and spirit.  While it has in recent lifetimes actively battled against these lies, at a deep level nevertheless the Soul’s sexuality has been strongly conditioned (Capricorn on 2nd house), and this conditioning has been strongly though relatively unconsciously internalized (ruler Saturn in 1st conjunct ascendant, also Mars/Neptune in Capricorn in 1st) leading to many distortions which are directly responsible for the wounding, fragmentation, and confusion it must now reckon with in this lifetime (Saturn opposite Chiron; Neptune inconjunct Chiron).

Given its internalization of this conditioning, the Soul has come to feel a deep guilt about all desires that it has had and acted on which are outside of the very narrow codes that have been prescribed by others.  There has been a repression of natural instincts and desires and the Soul has felt locked up leading to a great deal of internalized anger (Mars in Capricorn/1st).  This anger has been further fueled by much older memories carried by the Soul of having been free to do whatever came naturally (SN Mars in Sagittarius/1st, conjunct Mars), in stark contrast to the rules of patriarchal conditioning, offered as the “word of God” (Neptune in Capricorn).  And so the result of being told how bad it is, over and over again, has been an intense anger which has been acted out sexually, unconsciously, in the form of sexual dominance/aggression (Mars conjunct Neptune in Capricorn/1st), which has led to creating relationships in which the Soul can express its power and basically make the relationship all about the fulfillment of its own narcissistic needs for specialness, validation, and attention (Venus in Aries/5th), these needs also receiving an amplification from older memories, in this case memories of being frustrated and cut off from its own power and creativity (Venus conjunct SN Chiron in Aries/5th).    

It is easy to see how this dominance has occurred concurrent to the Soul’s various rebellions and deconditioning in past lifetimes, as it learned who it really is and to be committed to that.  In the course of all that open rebellion, the Soul was involved in many sexual fringe groups and circles in which many kinds of behaviors and gender expressions and sexual cosmologies have been espoused (Pluto/SN in Scorpio 11th, trine Pallas in Cancer 7th, trine Vesta/Jupiter in Pisces/3rd), and rather like the so-called BDSM communities of today, sadomasochism has often been touted as just another free expression.  In this context, the Soul learned to eroticize the shame it felt around sexual desire through the vehicle of fantasy connected to the expression of power (Mars/Neptune conjunct in Capricorn/1st), wherein it would become identified and take on the role of the “authority” (Mars/Neptune ruler Saturn in 1st conjunct the Ascendant) while the partner acted out or “mimicked” the role of the wounded victim (Chiron in Gemini in the 7th).  In effect, given the immense persecution and sexual violence that we have already discussed this Soul experiencing as the victim, this was trauma re-enactment sex, in "consensual" forms.  Importantly then the sexual dominance has been especially practiced with partners who were in various ways gender-nonconforming (Mars/Neptune in 1st/Capricorn opposite Pallas in 7th/Cancer) and who were “friends” (Pluto opposite Venus, Venus ruler of 11th).  And indeed it is here that we can see the source of the unresolved hysteria Rad mentioned is carried by this Soul, since the Soul itself identifies deeply with these kinds of individuals and thus is exquisitely sensitive to the depth of their suffering (Pallas ruler Moon in Scorpio/12th).  And with all the confusion and fantasy dynamics, and given the anger carried in this Soul, the line between reality and fantasy often blurred whether consciously or unconsciously, and this Soul was easily experienced even by intimates as truly scary and monstrous, larger than life, and so on, denying their own role and escaping into fantasies and projections relative to this Soul (Neptune involvement, 7th ruler Mercury in Pisces/3rd).  Unconsciously then the Soul is carrying a profound level of hysteria related to the persecution and terrible things that have happened to it, but then also compounded by the suffering it believes it has caused, this guilt being partly a natural guilt for behaviors that were out of bounds and partly a learned guilt from taking on the intense projections of others, both the patriarchal crazies who persecuted it, and the intimate others it acted out with.  

The necessity of reliving its relational dynamics becomes clearer then as a means by which this Soul can become more conscious of them (opportunity of the grand trines, Star of David, involving all of these planets) and through doing so, develop clarity around the patriarchal distortions it has participated in, and atone where needed, which is one of its deepest evolutionary intentions in this lifetime (Black Moon Lilith in 6th Taurus, conjunct NN/PPP).  This also enables a deep repair of the relational template in this Soul, preparing the way for a whole new orientation to relationships that is based on the giving and receiving of love and the honoring of the feminine (NN/PPP new phase conjunct NN Mars and NN Venus, which are also new phase conjunct).  Relative to all of this, we can also then see why this Soul in this lifetime looks out into the world, what she seems to see is a world of wounded freaks (Chiron and Pallas in 7th) for whom she feels responsible (Saturn in 1st).      

[It is also interesting to note that this sexual dynamic is further reflected in another “skipped step”-type signature in the chart, a complement to the Lucifer dynamic Ari mentioned, that of Eros in Capricorn and Pandora in Aquarius, both in the 2nd house and both square to Pluto and the nodes.  Eros in Capricorn showing the heavily conditioned sexuality, Pandora in Aquarius showing the simultaneous sexual experimentation and opening up to more than one can handle; the Soul then skipping ahead to Venus/NN and becoming “full of itself” – Venus trine to Mars – with the expression of dominance and center-of-the-universe; the result of which being that evolution is necessarily suspended until this dynamic is resolved through the Pluto/SN relive of deeply experiencing, re-fragmenting, observing, and understanding].  

Related to the dynamics above is the major turning-point and learning-point the Soul has reached regarding how it makes commitments to other Souls (Juno square its own nodes).  The Soul has a history especially correlating to its lifetimes in 1st and 2nd individuated, of entering into committed relationships from a place of confusion and emotional neediness and even dependency (Juno SN in 4th/Pisces) – at some level having a great deal of vulnerability and insecurity that it has wanted the partner to “take care” of.  However, the way the Soul attempted to get this need met was actually to assert a lot of dominance and will over the partner, to assert its own power and authority and attempt to dominate the partner (Juno SN ruler Neptune conjunct Mars, both 1st/Capricorn), in fact bringing in a kind of double-dose of will-power (Mars SN also conjunct that Mars/Neptune) into the relationships relative to many many lifetimes spent developing the sheer force of personality for the many purposes we have already discussed (Mars SN 1st  house).  Thus the Soul, being in a sense precocious in the areas of self-definition and projection of power, would attempt to “transfer in” these skills into committed relationships and run them using the same capacities – this all of course linked to an intense survival anxiety, in particular the 2nd individuated anxiety of whether I can maintain my hard-won individuality – an anxiety especially activated by the actual neediness and confusion that has predominated for this Soul in any kinds of committed relationships, and in fact in any commitments whatsoever.  The Soul would repress (Capricorn) any feelings of need in order to stay in control and preserve its individuality, giving rise to many forms of expression of dark eros covered above.  In other words, this Soul has felt that committed relationships make it very vulnerable and so it has only known how to be in such relationships by being “in control” of them – which dynamic of course reflects the Soul’s bottom-line orientations to life more broadly (Pluto, SN, and Moon all in Scorpio).  At the same time, the partners to whom it has committed, who may be weak or wounded in some way (Chiron in 7th), have in some cases passive-aggressively responded to this dominance by amplifying the projections discussed above in dark eros, and spreading lies and untruths based on these projections, undermining this Soul in the world (Gemini on 7th house, ruler Mercury in Pisces/3rd, conjunct Juno SN and square Juno), hence the Soul being its own worst enemy when it comes to picking who to commit and be faithful to (Juno square Juno SN).          

The Soul’s evolutionary intentions in the area of commitment involve the development of a larger framework of meaning from which commitment can be derived, this framework of meaning involving a humbling and a progressive “right sizing” of the ego (Juno NN in 9th/Virgo), understanding commitment in terms of the larger purposes it serves, and indeed as a vehicle of service.  There is an emphasis on commitment and committed relationships as a means through which the Soul can experience tremendous freedom (9th) – the freedom that is possible when one accepts and lives within limits (Virgo).  This way of committed relationship becomes possible and can be developed through spiritualization of this area of life, and in fact the Soul’s growing edge here involves becoming a student of spirituality (Juno NN ruler Mercury in 3rd/Pisces) such that the Soul can begin learning about a spiritual understanding and framework (Mercury new conjunct Jupiter, both in 3rd/Pisces) that can guide the Soul in its choices about who and what to commit to.  Looking further into the future, in this and future lifetimes the Soul will begin to learn as it moves towards the 1st stage spiritual that its first commitment must be to God.  In fact, it has had some recent lifetimes in which it has attempted to work on this (Juno NN receiving the square from Juno, thereby “activated” already).  This has probably looked like situations or lifetimes involving purification and periods of abstinence, the intention of which has been to create greater clarity and understanding of its situation.  Given the Soul’s evolutionary condition, these situations have not necessarily been the conscious design of the ego-personality – instead these periods have likely occurred through the vehicle of crisis (Virgo), the purpose of the crisis being to humble the Soul and to force reflection on the greater meaning of this area of its life; and perhaps through being “sent away” or exiled to the convent or the nunnery (9th) – being forced to “marry Jesus” (see below) – probably against the conscious will of the personality (see earlier post about her Vesta conjunct Jupiter in 3rd/Pisces and opposing 9th house Virgo Ceres – the errant free-spirited nun being chastened by the crotchety mother superior).  The point being that such past experiences of a “sexual winter” in this area (Ceres Rx conjunct NN Juno) and of being forced to prematurely redirect sexual energy upwards in a religious context (NN Pallas conjunct NN Juno both in 9th house) have been jump-ahead arrangements by the Soul to begin to atone for its misdeeds in this area.  But unfortunately like the relationships described above, these arrangements have involved fidelity to what was not worthy of fidelity, in this case to the institutions of repression that have caused so much of the problems in the first place (potential scenarios which come to mind are forced commitments to religious institutions – Juno conjunct Saturn in Sagittarius – arranged marriages to mentally impaired individuals – Juno/Saturn conjunct and opposite Chiron in Gemini 7th – and so on…)

Thus as mentioned before, this lifetime and the lifetimes just before and after are a major turning-point for the Soul in this entire area of commitment and fidelity (Juno square both its nodes).  On the one hand, in this incarnation the Soul is culminating a whole series of recent lifetimes in which it has sought to decondition from its old way of doing commitments, and to rapidly jettison or explode any such commitments which would impede its freedom or its sense of its own personal power (Juno 1st/Sag balsamic conjunct Uranus 1st/Sag).  There is thus in this lifetime an intense volatility relative to any commitments or attempts at committed relationships as the Soul is tying up “loose ends” with many Souls and groups with whom it had done the old pattern – and, as we have covered earlier, there are a lot of such Souls.  Hence the Soul would have a tendency in this lifetime to get “involved” really quickly, activate the old dynamic, then blow it up, and then move on.  Of course, again, this applies to all forms of commitments as well as committed relationships.  This whole dynamic of replaying, remembering, blowing up, of course, being very “up” in the consciousness of the Soul (1st house), such that it is a big part of how she is seen in the world (see many of her music videos which appear to be past-life narratives with revised endings, perhaps her own kind of bardo work in addressing and replaying and deconditioning relationships with others who may not be incarnated currently, or who may be incarnated but impossible for her to reach “in person”).  

At the very same time as it is culminating the cycle of deconditioning relative to commitments, the Soul is also beginning an entirely new cycle that is about making much more careful and conscious commitments in its life (Juno new phase conjunct Saturn), replacing the religious commitments that it has been blowing up with commitments to natural principles (Sagittarius).   And it is just at the stage of doing this relatively instinctually, by trial and error, trying to commit itself “for real”.  There is an intention to begin stabilizing the process of commitment, to build a stronger sense of self through meaningful and honest commitments to others, through developing a meaningful fidelity.

These two dynamics (finishing disestablishing and starting establishing) of course create quite a bit of confusion in the relationships of the Soul due to the dual desires reflected therein (Gemini 7th).  The Soul can be pulled in one direction and then another, with the relive dynamic meaning that all of these complexes are continuously reactivated to be relived.  This major question around who to commit to and the general relive complex is well-exemplified in Lady Gaga’s song, “Judas”, here are some lyrics:

“I wanna love you
But something’s pulling me away from you
Jesus is my virtue
Judas is the demon I cling to
I cling to”

“I’m just a holy fool, oh baby he’s so cruel
But I’m still in love with Judas, baby
I’m just a holy fool, oh baby he’s so cruel
But I’m still in love with Judas, baby”

“When he comes to me, I am ready
I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs
Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain
Even after three times, he betrays me
I'll bring him down, a king with no crown
I’ll bring him down, bring him down, down
A king with no crown, king with no crown”

These lyrics of course are confusing, the “him” in question is constantly changing from Jesus to Judas and back (mutability of all the elements of the grand cross relating to relationships and commitments, also the two sides of Neptune/Pisces represented by Judas/Jesus) – but the point being the Soul keeps finding itself reconstellating the relationships it wants to stay away from or destroy, dealing with commitments it is trying to establish and those it is trying to get away from.   Explaining the song, Lady Gaga said in an interview, “I sing about what a holy fool I am, and that although moments in my life are so cruel and relationships can be so cruel I’m still in love with Judas. I still go back again to those evil things.”  And what her Pluto/SN conjunction in Scorpio in the 11th tells us is, that her Soul is going back to those evil things, reliving them, because it needs to understand the WHY of its guilt-based attraction to darkness and to gain a more objective understanding of itself relative to that compulsion, before it can advance forward evolutionarily into the full expression of its own individuality and creative expression and sharing of love (NN Taurus/5th conjunct Venus).

This song can also be read as Lady Gaga describing her compulsive attraction to people who have betrayed her, so-called “friends” and intimates such as those she got into some power games with (Pluto in Scorpio opposite Venus, but Venus ruler of 11th which contains that Pluto – at one level she is having power over these people, at another level they are betraying her), again another example of fidelity where fidelity is undeserved.  

Finally, I did also take a look at the cosmograms in Lady Gaga’s chart and consistently those for the last two thousand years – the Ceres, Mercury, Jupiter, and Vesta cosmograms – show a constant recurrence of Pluto, SN, Moon, Juno, Pallas, Mars, and Neptune, revealing the centrality of dark eros and commitment issues to this Soul’s journey in its recent karmic past.  

Addendum: I wanted to write some more about the hysteria issues in her chart.  To me, Lady Gaga’s hysteria is most easily observed through her music videos.  I have mostly heard about these from my partner, who is very fond of her.  They seem to involve all sorts of past-life fragments which I had shared a couple of in the past.  There is much about them which is very like her 12th house Scorpio Moon: confusing, intense, sexual, dark, evocative, transgressive, archetypal, cosmic, and yes, hysterical (I don’t mean funny).  Lady Gaga herself reports that her videos are inspired by “my dreams which are very disturbing”, and so the videos she shares are her way of working them out (12th house Scorpio Moon trine 3rd house Pisces Mercury).  

While her 3rd house Pisces Mercury communicates and shares the hysteria in a fantasized way, the hysteria itself is carried by the 12th house Scorpio Moon.  On the one hand as mentioned, the Moon in her chart rules Pallas, which is carrying her own experience of being used and persecuted sexually for her differentness, as well as the experience of others in her life whom she has possibly used and dominated sexually.  On the other hand, that Moon is itself ruled by Pluto, which is in Scorpio and in a relive condition with the lunar south node in the 11th house.  Hence her emotional body carries the themes of betrayal and trauma, especially by friends and sex partners, deep within it, like scars in her psyche (I think of the craters of the moon, reflecting all the impacts of other bodies against hers).  This Soul has undergone a compulsive repetition of involvement with these dynamics, driven by its deep hunger for intimacy and merger, despite its simultaneous total terror of the same.  Given the relive condition, it is compelled to continuously draw in and experience the same dynamics of projection, betrayal, and lies that it has faced before – and each time this happens amplifies the existent hysteria that is being carried behind the scenes in the emotional body (moon).  It is as if, over and over again, the Soul is compelled to subject itself to these dynamics, and while the Soul is so engaged in this, its ego structure, that Moon, is at the breaking point on a regular basis.  It is easy to see from here how alcohol and other escape (12th) tickets become so seductive.

The causative factor of the hysteria then is the total lack of any felt sense of safety for this Soul.  The Pluto/SN conjunction in Scorpio in the 11th show that across many lifetimes the personal boundary system has been so thoroughly broken and destroyed through traumas, betrayals, and introjected projections, that anything and everything is eventually taken on and carried by the emotional body (Moon).  The presence of intimates and friends is no help, because these are the very Souls whom this Soul has felt betrayed and used by, and has itself betrayed and used (Pluto/SN in 11th, and 11th ruler Venus opposite Pluto/SN).  Hence the Soul has been left feeling an intense vulnerability, weak in and of itself, and consequently desirous of merger with others who seem to be the only way this Soul can get its very considerable needs met.  Of course seeking such merger then activates the same relational dynamics already discussed, as well as the substantial issues around commitment carried by this Soul, and in this lifetime Lady Gaga can continue to spin around in this cycle.

The key is that the Soul has the opportunity for tremendous awareness and consciousness of the cycle as it plays out in this lifetime (star of David pattern; Moon also trine to Mercury).   And thereby also the opportunity to consciously cooperate with the evolutionary intentions shown in the Taurus polarity to the Moon, Pluto, and the South Node, for this Soul, ultimately, of creating and defining clear boundaries, and being willing to go it on its own if necessary to preserve itself and its boundaries.  Rather than seek to grow stronger through more intense relationships and mergers with others, this Soul’s work is to cultivate its own sense of a defined self, and to take charge of its own life and destiny.  To learn what it is like to be fully self-supporting, and in so doing to create an effective container or vessel in the emotional body, with strong stable boundaries, through which the excessive emotionality that she is carrying can be processed and healed.  Her NN Mars and NN Venus both in Taurus then also show that such a felt sense of safety becomes the foundation stone for an entirely new relational template in this Soul’s future.    

And as discussed in the Juno material earlier, this evolution must also involve a fundamental change in how this Soul makes relational contracts and commitments, from coming from a needy and compensatorily controlling orientation (Juno SN Pisces/4th, ruler Neptune conjunct Mars Capricorn/1st), towards having a larger cosmology and spiritual connection as the basis of any future commitments (Juno NN Virgo/9th, ruler Mercury Pisces 3rd) that will enable the Soul to feel safer in going it on her own in the area of relationships  when necessary.  For the size of issues the Soul is dealing with, a right relationship with Creator is the only way the Soul can ultimately develop a strong enough boundary system in the emotional body through which to process the intense affect it is carrying.
 
Thanks everyone, looking forward to the analyses and Rad to your feedback and continued guidance.

Hi Rad, and group ….

Here are my few thoughts about Gaga’s orientation to intimate and sexual relationships, and the dynamics and issues reflected in her birthchart … hope I am now being able to objectify some of these dynamics and issues  …

Thanks so much for this deepening learning experience …

God Bless,

Gonzalo
 
*******************************************************************************

Well ….. with Pluto/S.Node Scorpio 11th House, Gaga’s Soul has desired to liberate and rebel against any external and internal restrictions to her individuality, including any consensus conditioning factors of her sexual nature and desires. She has had along many lifetimes desires to liberate and to experiment in all possible ways her own sexuality, which is very strong, deep, and intense (and also quite ‘dark’ – Capricorn in the 2nd House cusp, Saturn in the 1st House, Neptune/Mars Capricorn 1st House, relative to Pluto/S.Node Scorpio, the 2nd House Capricorn south nodes, asteroid Eros is at 29°34’ Capricorn 2nd House, square the nodes and Venus). She has had an enormous variety of sexual experiences with other people of many different types and with many different sexual orientations along the way of discovering her personal way of being sexual (the variety and extent of relationships she has attracted to her is also indicated in other symbols of the birthchart: the 7th House ruler being Mercury in the 3rd House Pisces, Libra in the 11th House, with its ruler Venus in opposition to the 11th House Pluto …Uranus/Mars conjunct in the 1st House sextile Pluto/S.Node).

In fact, her Soul has desired to evolve through the osmosis of the Soul contents of many other people, which has occurred many times through sexual union (Pluto 11th House Scorpio).

With Pluto in Scorpio, the intensity of the relationships has allowed for the osmosis to occur. Pluto in the 11th House implies that, at same time, she has been learning who she is, by means of learning who she is not (becoming a minority, a group of one), this securing the ongoing need for other new relationships. Thus, many intense relationships, many of which have also been quite brief in time. I would seem to me that, by itself, Pluto Scorpio in the 11th House contains a possible polygamous sexual orientation; such orientation seems further indicated by Mars 1st House sextile the Pluto/South Node conjunction, trine the 5th House Venus in Aries, with the south node of Venus in the 3rd House Aquarius, ruled by Uranus in the 1st House.

Other reason in Gaga’s Soul for involving herself sexually with many other people has been the extremely intense insecurity she has experienced in many lifetimes in collective or social events (Pluto Scorpio 11th House  ruling the 12th House containing the Scorpio Moon, 4th House Pisces, ruled by Neptune in the 1st House Capricorn Balsamic conjunct Mars. Thus, many relationships have been sexualized in order to create a feeling of security in midst of the ongoing crises, without the time of coming to know the other person very much before sexualizing the relationship. Also, many relationships with ‘friends’ have been sexualized. Further, her Soul has experienced many abrupt losses, terminations or separations in relationships. Some degree of conflict has been created between the desire to trust and commit within relationships, and the desire to remain emotionally detached from the relationships.  

Through this variety of involvements her Soul has gained sexual knowledge and also a plasticity of her possibilities of sexual expression. Again, the Pluto south node ruler is the same Capricorn 2nd House cusp ruler, Saturn, which is Rx in the 1st House Sagittarius … this Saturn is Crescent square Jupiter in the 3rd House Pisces which is also the ruler of the Sagittarius Saturn  … at her evolutionary stage, this indicates at least that in her past, she has not been totally honest about her own sexual nature and desires. Same time, the 2nd House ruler Saturn is First Quarter square to Mercury Rx, which is also in the 3rd House Pisces, and which is the ruler of the 7th House, which is in Gemini … thus, her Soul’s plasticity at a sexual level, has been creating a persona (7th House) that is able to adapt (mutable) to the nature of many different other people, a persona that can do this so well that has also been deceiving others in different ways about her own sexual nature and desires, and thus, about her real involvement in the relationships. Thus, a settlement between her conflicting desires to secure and to detach, translating in wanting to secure the relationship for herself, and not for the partner, preserving her ‘right’ to secure other relationships with other people (Pluto/S.Node 11th House Scorpio, N.Node 5th House Taurus, planetary ruler Venus 5th House Aries, trine Mars in the 1st House, sextile the S.Node and Pluto).  

Mercury rules the 7th House which contains Chiron in Gemini, square the 3rd House Jupiter and Mercury … reflecting the wounds that have occurred in relationships because of this duplicity about fundamental aspects of her personal truth, and her personal truth about the relationship (Jupiter/Mercury are square the nodes of Uranus, which are in the 1st House the south node, and in the 7th House the north node in Gemini/Sagittarius, with Uranus in Sagittarius square Mercury, trauma which is connected with honesty issues in relationships, and sexual honesty specifically (Libra is in the 11th House, Aquarius is in the 3rd House; Uranus is in the 1st House, conjunct the south node of Mars in the 1st House Sagittarius, and conjunct Mars in the 1st House; the 11th House ruler is Venus, which is in Aries, in the 5th House, opposing Scorpio Pluto, conjunct the N.Node in Taurus, trine to Uranus 1st House, trine Mars 1st House, Crescent phase semisquare to Jupiter …).

The desire to osmose co-existing with a desire to detach also created at some point at psychological sexual level a ‘shadow’ based on a relative detachment from the own sexual psychological/emotional dynamics, while at same time a desire to create rationalizations or rather, philosophical and intellectual constructions which are blind to the own dynamics, so to speak, which mask or conceal existing motivations and agendas and in turn are delivered and promoted with the intent of having others believe in the constructions or half-truths presented (Jupiter 3rd House Pisces trine Pluto 11th House Scorpio).
Mercury is Gibbous sesquisquare to the South Node. Mercury in Pisces is Neptune ruled, and Neptune is conjunct Mars Balsamic, both 1st House Capricorn. Neptune/Mars are the 4th House and the 5th House rulers. Thus a Soul that for security reasons has given itself the right to liberate and to separate from whatever reality she has created and that, within relationships, has made choices in which she has wanted to initiate or to sustain the relationships despite her inner detachment or separation and “freedom” to initiate other relationships with other people. This duplicity that manifests an individualistic and egocentric/narcissistic orientation (North Node in the 5th House, ruler Venus in the 5th House Aries … all the 1st House planets and nodes), has also been compounded by anger existing in her Soul against whatever limitations placed by roles, norms, or structures, to the potential expression and actualization of her uniqueness (the individuality as the ultimate symbol). These desires to separate and to break free from any restrictions, and consensus restrictions specifically, have been in place for many lifetimes within her individuation (Balsamic). The duplicity is the theme of Poker face … “I won't tell you that I love you / kiss or hug you / cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin / I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning / just like a chick in the casino”).

She has also given herself those rights because of having been hurt, wounded, or humiliated in the past, and having experienced intense and excruciating powerlessness through different types of events (Neptune/Mars Balsamic in 1st House). Jupiter in the 3rd House is trine Pluto in the 11th House, reflecting the elaboration and sophistication that have been involved in the creation of rationalizations justifying and supporting the duplicity and the intellectual manipulations, denials, distortions of truth and half-trues, lies, etc. …. These symbols reflect at same time the rebellion against beliefs and manmade morals which have constrained her sexual nature, being inwardly and outwardly defined by this philosophical anarchism, rebellion and relativization involving varying degrees of skepticism, nihilism, agnosticism … deriving in creating her own self-given rights to discover and liberate herself in any ways she feels called to and that she feels secure for herself (the south node of Jupiter is in the 2nd House Capricorn with Saturn in the 1st House Sagittarius ruled by same Jupiter, which is trine Pluto …. Jupiter also rules the 1st House cusp).

Because the Moon is in the 12th House, trine the 3rd House Mercury, Pisces on the 4th House cusp ruled by Neptune in the 1st House which is semi-square the Moon, and the Moon being square the nodes of Neptune in the 2nd and 8th Houses, the plasticity and adaptability has created a situation in which Gaga has also created confusion for herself about who she is, and who she is sexually. Cancer is in the 8th House cusp, and the Moon is Scorpio, reflecting the desire to metamorphose the self-image through going really deep within herself in order to understand and evolve beyond the underlying dynamics, and sexual dynamics. Thus, creating an intense emotional compression which would enforce the necessary psychoanalysis of the emotional dynamics. With Mercury ruling the 7th House, Gaga would be creating attractions to other people who would mirror her own past duplicities, and also, specifically, people who are not able for different reasons to know who and how Gaga is, to identify her emotional/sexual needs, and to relate to the true depth of her Soul, ie. people who would perceive her through the lens of their own distortions and projections, some of whom will also have the projected expectation of Gaga adapting or conforming to their own narcissistic or masturbatory desires (Libra in the 11th House, ruled by Venus in the 5th House Aries conjunct the Taurus N.Node, the south node of Venus being in the 3rd House Aquarius). These people would create an essential personal and sexual frustration in Gaga, and would induce the necessary inner questions deriving in a deeper self-knowledge, self-definition, and self-reliance.
Same symbols (Neptune/Mars Capricorn) reflect the natural guilt in her Soul because of the manipulations that existed in the past, and the desires to atone and to humiliate.  

With the polarity point of Pluto in the 5th House Taurus, the N.Node in the 5th House Taurus, Venus in Aries in the 5th House, the north node of Venus  in the 5th House Taurus, conjunct the north node of Mars in the 5th House Taurus, this planetary nodes being trine the 1st House Mars in Capricorn, Gaga is required in evolutionary terms to sustain herself emotionally and sexually in autonomous, non-dependent, and self-reliant ways, in order to advance by her own means in the discovery, actualization, and empowerment of her own sexual identity and nature, becoming totally self-responsible and determined to being sexually only the way she is, and nothing else, though needing to experience and re-experience being taken for someone different than she really is.

Lady Gaga – Follow-up EA analysis re relationships

Lady Gaga’s Soul is defined by a deep sense of uniqueness and differentness, having arrived at this point by an accelerated de-conditioning from past patterns of behaviour through the process of detachment and objectivity, revealing her true essence.  Awareness of her limitations or powerlessness, and therefore a need for power, sustains a pronounced evolutionary impulse to grow and evolve, Pluto Scorpio 11th.  Her past life relationship dynamics reflect dispassionate-to-deep penetration into explorations of a variety of sexual practices with a great variety of friends or lovers for the purpose of osmosing power that created all levels of bonding and intimacy (shallow-to-profound).  Very often friendships would turn into intimacy.  Relating patterns were bizarre, intense, complex and extremely unbalanced as were the sexual practices, summed up by the dictum “anything goes,” Venus rules 11th, Venus opp SN/Pluto, Uranus Sag naturally rules 11th.  

Desires for like-minded friends and lovers who would resonate with her own Soul attracted a high turnover of magnetic sexual attractions of both sexes who were used for sex, then dumped (black widow) – she was used by others in this way also.  This limitless freedom drew parallel experiences of vindictiveness, betrayal, violence, abuse, and sudden bitter endings leading inevitably to the cumulative effect of her Soul suffering trauma and displaced emotions, Moon Scorpio 12th, Lucifer t-squ Nodes, making it evolutionarily necessary to re-live key relationships from the past so as to restore overall balance and stability, Venus conj NN, NNs Venus/Mars/SN Chiron conjunct NN 5th, Mars/Cap 1st rules Venus.  

Relationships that had suddenly ended in shock and rage, due to her hurting others, or they hurting her, or where one partner did not think the relationship was over, meant they would meet again in this lifetime to work through whatever their Souls had decided together for their respective evolutionary intentions, NNs Venus/Mars conj NN/Lilith.  The next evolutionary step in this lifetime for many of her relationships will be to forgive each other for whatever happened in the past, and to realize that even though they both had been greatly hurt, that love is still operating, and this will lead to the healing of wounds from the past.  Self-reliance and working to actualize her own unique essence, will put her needs in the correct perspective in relation to partners, 7th house polarity, while the lines of communication with partners will be kept open and honest, Chiron ruled by Mercury Pisces 3rd.

Lady Gaga admits bisexuality
“I love androgyny – I like pushing boundaries.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz6TYQ4Ln8E

Her natural sexual orientation is androgynous played out in this life in a bisexual orientation, SN Venus Aquarius 3rd, SN Mercury Pisces 3rd, Chiron Gemini 7th, NN Uranus conj Chiron, SN Venus sextile Uranus/Venus.  She is de-conditioning from having suppressed her bisexuality in the past for fear of persecution and judgment, Chiron opp Saturn, Mars/Neptune Cap, Lilith conj Chiron.  

In the progressive de-conditioning from limitations of any kind, there had been a great deal of confusion and shock in her transitions, an example being suddenly revealing to past life partners that she had fallen in love with a member of the same sex.  Another example is being “two-faced,” disloyal and betraying partners, hiding the truth by having more than one relationship at the same time, Chiron Gemini 7th, ruler Mercury Pisces 3rd, and these behaviours possibly attracting violence and abuse, or causing self-implosion that stored the trauma within her physical body, Saturn conj Asc, 1st house planets, Venus ruled by Mars Cap conjunct Uranus/SN Mars.  It is probable that she was hiding the truth in various scenarios such as:  sex with multiple strangers, or a hiding signature for fear of death, Vesta, or duplicity in love relationships, and these scenarios creating the karma of secrets, Jupiter/Mercury t-square Saturn/Chiron.  
  
She is throwing off past imbalances such as not hearing the words of others, or they not hearing her, perhaps due to being too absorbed with herself, Chiron opp Saturn, Chiron squ Mercury/Jupiter, Mercury/Jupiter squ Saturn, Mercury squ Uranus.  With these aspects, it is possible that she had a learning difficulty, or problems with short-term memory.  These aspects could also have applied to teacher/student relationships where she had been learning, through a genius capacity, to liberate the structure of her consciousness.  It is also possible that she had not been listening to others due to boredom, and this reflecting the severance or detachment from old friendships that had served their purpose, Uranus rules 3rd.

Lucifer Cancer, intensified in the 8th house, depicts intensely negative thoughts and emotions that undermine or block the direction that her Soul knows to be right, no matter how radical that direction can seem.  This aspect can also manifest as displaced emotions projected subconsciously onto intimate partners upon whom she has become overly- or symbiotically- dependent, or partners who have become overly-dependent upon her, Lucifer squ Venus, thus magnifying the cataclysmic force of Pluto gibbous opp Venus.  A major lesson is to heal the trauma originating with her parents by supplying her own inner nurturing and security, Lucifer opp SN Saturn, and heal the spiritual trauma stored in the unconscious by surrendering to the Divine Mother, Moon Scorpio 12th, NN Pluto Cancer 8th.  

Stories, scandals and gossip about her personal life and relationships that are made public by the media, Mercury rules MC Virgo, could be a cause of further trauma, bringing guilt or anger to the surface, and prompting an accelerated desire for self-improvement and purging of unnatural guilt, MC squ Uranus/Juno, Lilith Taurus 6th conj NN, MC squ Uranus, NN Mercury squ NNs Saturn/Pluto 8th, NN Mercury squ SNs Pluto/Jupiter.  Having to learn to respond to the “judgments” of the world with grace, humility and honesty will tone down self-centredness and bring further lessons in speaking the truth, Mars squ Sun, Sun inconj Pluto, Sun squ Neptune.  It seems she has already internally dealt with the intrusion of the media by the use of her creative genius, NN Mercury conj Venus 5th:  

“Paparazzi”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2smz_1L2_0&ob=av2n

Her Soul carries a type of hysteria or rage as a result of patriarchal persecution and judgment, Mars/Neptune Cap 1st, and living in an unnatural reality where natural law has been/continues to be violated, 2nd house planetary SNs Cap/Aqu.  The agonizing pain of having suppressed this deep wound within her unconscious, and stored within her physical body, trickles out by way of passive/aggressive reactions, and sudden unleashings of wrath and fury at restrictions of any kind, including a fear of commitment, Mars conj Neptune, Venus gibbous opp Pluto, SNs Mars/Uranus Sag 1st.  Other reasons for this hysteria and rage stem from being sexually violated while living in communal cultures, accounting for a deep-seated mistrust of others, SN Uranus/Mars 1st, Venus squ Lucifer, Moon Scorpio 12th, Chiron 7th, or from experiences of cataclysmic events where she and her group starved due to famine, or did not survive a cataclysm, planetary SNs 2nd, Saturn Sag 1st, SN Uranus 1st, NN Taurus opp Pluto.

Her drive is doubled in strength, Mars exalted in Cap, and is directed toward fulfilling new ideas, dreams and fantasies, and merging her consciousness with Source energy, Mars/Neptune Cap 1st, Moon Scorpio 12th.  A distortion that has manifested in the past, and could manifest again in this lifetime, is seeing a partner as a defacto God/Goddess (or even seeing herself as such), Neptune Cap 1st, and projecting ultimate meaning onto that partner, with these types of relationships ending in disillusionment.  This will throw her back upon herself to learn the lesson of self-reliance, to look within herself to find the inner symbols of power and transformation, PPP.

Pluto is powerful in its own sign, and the intensity is so extreme that finding the right partner to deal with all of that intensity and constant movement could be difficult.  This condition is created by her Soul in order to find relationships that will be based on independence, self-reliance and self-sufficiency, and not addictive compulsion to be together, Venus conj NN Taurus 5th.  Sorting through the complexity and intensity of her life, she will keep revisiting a relatively new perspective:  that simplicity is the essence of life, which is contrary to her past or to-date (NN Taurus).  The simplicity and joy of love could mean her Heart getting hurt, but this will only motivate her to find new ways to express her love nature (Venus ruled by Mars Cap 1st).

In this lifetime the main aspect of fruition is the expansion of her philosophical framework which is allowing her to share and communicate her creative social visions with the world, Jupiter grand trine Pluto/Vesta/Pallas, Star of David.  Jupiter is important because it is the final dispositor in the chart, and therefore the search for spiritual truth and honesty are of the utmost importance to her Soul right now.  Mental confusion will give way to surrendering to a higher power that will finally bring peace, natural wisdom, alignment with universal and timeless laws, and new returning desires to the Source, Mars conj Neptune, Jupiter/Mercury squ Chiron.  It’s not easy being a celebrity, but it took worldwide public exposure in order to make a comparison to the simple life.  As part of her new NN desires, Venus ruled by Mars Cap 1st, she will slow down somewhat to a more uncomplicated life, perhaps discovering a love for Nature.    

Lady Gaga has taken many steps to develop her unique individuality and creativity and in so doing has awakened a sense of her inherent value, self-worth and self-esteem (NN Taurus 5th).  Pastlife relationships that had been defined by compulsive obsession, excessive dependency, sudden endings creating emotional shocks, or secret agendas being revealed were created for the purpose of each partner to learn how to function without the other, and to take full charge of their own lives independent of the other, Pluto conj SN, PPP Taurus 5th, Venus Aries.  In this way she starts to attract others who are self-reliant and who are working to actualize their own unique Soul essence, thus freeing herself from the past, and promoting evolution.

Hi Rad, I intend to have mine in b4 end of this week.

[Rad]

Hi Ari,

Ok ............

God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad and Group,

Some observations on
LADY GAGA, INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS

The reliving in relationships revolves around the need of resolving issues related to commitment or/and independence, separation and/or deep relating, fear of enmeshment, trust and power (Venus in 5th house in Aries conjunct NN and opposite Pluto and Sn in Scorpio in 11th house, and Moon in Scorpio in 12th ruling her 8th house and 30’ after the 5º orb of an inconjunction to Venus).
Venus SN in Aquarius square Moon in Scorpio, whose SN is also in Scorpio in 11th reflects trauma caused by abandon or betrayal or suffering the power and domination of her partners.
Thus, trust in committed relationships is difficult for thus Soul that brings anger and rage caused by these betrayals and abandons that in turn had created compulsive attitudes of great attraction and desire to be in relationship as well as a fear of entrapment, of losing independence and self-identity. (Moon in Scorpio gibbous opposition Amazone, Venus conj Chiron SN in Aries).
Together with a tendency to withdraw or avoiding commitment, there was a defense mechanism of abandoning first in order to avoid the trauma of being abandoned. (Venus opposition Pluto in Scorpio in 11th) 
But   being Venus SN DP square Moon she is now living a crisis in consciousness in preparation for another key evolutionary development, and there is a creative tension produced through the process of moving forwards with this new form vs. the compulsive temptation to slide back into old patterns of behavior (Venus SN FQP Amazon)

The more recent preexisting patterns are related with this Venus in Aries in 5th house that reflects a self-orientated attitude in intimate relationships and a strong  need of independence (Venus trine Uranus and Juno in Sag in 1st house that are conjunct Saturn conjunct SN Amazone and Ascendant). She is instinctively linked to her independence and defense of her individuality, and may be that in more recent lifetimes the trauma related to betrayal or power in relationships was dissociated from her consciousness and mind (Saturn conjunct Uranus SN and balsamic Uranus and opposite Chiron square Mercury RX in Pisces, Uranus semisquare Pluto conjunct SN), and she was linked to the lighter, more optimistic aspects of her Soul (Venus in Aries trine Uranus in Sag and semisquare Chiron in Gemini).

The semisquare with Chiron reflects a difficulty to deal with the dark aspects of relationships, but like Psyche in her story with Eros, only facing Aphrodite’s dark side and her own shadow (symbolized in the myth by envious sisters [Gemini]) her love relationships will evolve and attain conscious integrity. That is reflected in Chiron’s opposition to Saturn conjunct Uranus (consciousness integrating individuated unconscious) and square Vesta conjunct Jupiter, symbols of her wholeness and integrity.

The reliving in order to throwing off of old patterns of intimate relationships is beginning (Venus opposite SN applicative 6 degrees), and her Soul is evolving through that (Venus NN conjunct  PPP conjunct R.L. and Amazone NN).
In addition, being Venus in FQP to Mars (its ruler), until now the Soul has been learning basically to relate to itself and developing courage to stand apart and asserting his individuality and subjectivity. But because of past abandon and trust wounds and the crisis inherent to this face, she has been experiencing the fear of being in relationships, specifically intimate ones, fearing the loss of its sense of individuality.

It looks like in this lifetime she is being able to realize that the individuality that has been established will not be lost, and that she can nurture herself as well as her intimate relationships  (Venus conjunct NN , Mars and Venus NN in NP conjunction that are conjunct R.L. and Amazone NN in Taurus; in a Grand Trine with Mars conj Neptune in 1st  and Ceres; and semisquare Jupiter and Vesta in Pisces as a kind of intermediation between the integrity they reflect and  the duality light/ darkness of Chiron in Gemini in 7th  ).
Being part of the Grand Trine via its conjunction to NN, and a progressive link between the past wounds and the future (conjunction NN and PPP), Venus is actualizing its function of uniting inwardly discordant aspects of her personality.

However, we see much individuality in the former lifetimes, perhaps not much dedication to intimate relationships because of preserving freedom and individuality, or for dedication to collective or group causes.
There may be natural guilt for the trauma created  because of that ( 5th house and Venus ruler Mars in Cap in 1rst house conjunct Uranus [Venus SN ruler]) or/and for not having been present in relationships, even abandoning ( Moon in Scorpio in 12th semisquare Mars conjunct Neptune in Cap, ruled by Pluto in Scorpio in 11th conjunct SN).

There is also projected guilt. Rad pointed out that it comes from those who have closest to her by way of intimacy and close friends.
It’s possible that her family has projected on her some guilt that could affect her conscious wholeness because of misunderstanding of her alignment with natural Law and natural ways of living sexuality and relationships. That is seen in Venus sesquisquare Saturn in Sag 1st (that’s conjunct Amazone SN and Juno and Uranus), and also in its semisquare to Chiron in 7th  that reflects influence of other’s mind regarding relationships and wounds in the way that other’s listen to her. In addition her 7th house hosts Pallas in Cancer opposite Mars in Cap and square Sun in 4th house (her family and self-image related to it) that rules her intimate relationships, and is square her Jupiter conj Vesta (wholeness and self-identity according to N.L.),  that in turn are  ruled by Neptune in Cap.

But I wonder if is this square between Saturn in 1st and Jupiter also reflects the natural guilt regarding her individualistic approach to relationships in his evolution process towards an individual though embracing and caring way of relating.

Currently her consciousness  is experiencing a compression leading to an inner awareness of the need to refine the way of relating, that involves embracing her own vulnerability and the individual needs, the individuality, of partners and friends  ( Jupiter CP square Saturn, Saturn PP in Gemini in 7h conjunct  Uranus NN and Chiron, Mars PP in Cancer in 7th conjunct Pallas and Jupiter NN in Gemini, Venus PP in Libra).This involves throwing off the old patterns of wounding others by not hearing them as well as the projected guilt.

SEXUALITY
Part of the current purpose of this Soul is to integrate the emergence of a conscious and egocentric identification with the new evolutionary purpose regarding sexuality in a new self-image and self identity that is finishing a cycle of integration between the individuated unconscious and the structure of her consciousness (Saturn semisextile Pluto balsamic conjunction Uranus trine Sun in Aries in 4th house.
In order to do it the Soul is picking up its original union between genders  and to Natural Law, then its  evolutionary experience through patriarchy with its repressions, distortions and traumatic consequences, towards  an integrating synthesis in self reliance and equality restoring feminine and vulnerable power as a way to actualizing committed and unconditional union in the power of Universal Love (2nd house ruler Saturn RX conjunct Amazone SN;  2nd house in Cap hosting S Nodes of Ceres, Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in Cap, Sn of Vesta and Neptune in Aquarius;  NN conjunct Mars and Venus NN, conjunct  R.L. conjunct NN Amazone NN in Taurus;  Venus PP in Libra and  NNodes of Vesta, Uranus and Jupiter in 7th house;  NN Saturn and Pluto in 8th house in Cancer;  Neptune NN in 8th house in Leo).

The preexisting pattern of sexuality that she is still working on is that of repression, although in former lives she has already been trying to penetrate the causes of that restraints and repressions (Saturn RX ruler Mars in Cap in 1st  , Pluto in Scorpio conjunct SN).
Together with patriarchal causes, the Soul brings trauma caused by betrayal and abandon that has been suppressed (Uranus conjunct Saturn and Mars conjunct Neptune in Cap) and that made difficult trusting in itself and in others (Uranus in Sag semisquare SN and Pluto, square Mercury ruler of 7th house and square asteroid Fides in Virgo; Moon in Scorpio in 12th sesquisquare Aries Sun in 4th house).
Trauma, betrayal and repression have produced insecurity and fear of vulnerability together with lack of self reliance that led to submission to other’s power in  sexual relationships and also a reactive behavior in which she was who overpowered her partners. ( 2nd house SN of Pluto and Saturn in Cap and Vesta in Aquarius opposite Lucifer in Cancer in 8th, ruled by Moon in Scorpio in 12th that in turn is ruled by Pluto in Scorpio in 11th ).
Given Cap repression and Lucifer in Cancer characteristics, the Soul acted out compulsively without a clue to knowing the causes of its rage and power desires in its emotional body.

With Mars in Cap conjunct its Sn in Sag, the Soul desires now to break free from all sexual inhibitions and constraints that its 2nd house hosting SN of Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn shows, and that produced anger and distortions in its sexuality expression. 
Natural guilt was also produced by these sexual attitudes (Mars in Cap ruled By Saturn RX square Jupiter).There is also the intention to atone for that guilt (Mars trine R.L. conjunct Amazone NN in 6th house, Amazone in Taurus in 6th trine Fides in Virgo), to forgiving and self-forgiving ( Mars conjunct Neptune sextile Vesta, Jupiter and Lucifer NN in Pisces, Moon in Scorpio in 12th  house trine 7th house ruler in Pisces ).
In order to do it, the reliving has the goal of finding the causes of distortions and guilt in her emotional psychology, accepting responsibility   and changing the inner relationship to herself - the real antidote to Lucifer in 8th house. (Pluto RX in Scorpio, Saturn RX and Mars in Cap in 1st house trine Venus conjunct NN in Taurus).

 In addition, she is trying to integrate vulnerability (Mars in Cap conjunct Neptune opposite Pallas conjunct its PP in Cancer in 7th). This intention of throwing off old patterns of relationship, together with her acknowledging the individuality of partners and friends is part of the creative stress that interrelates with the Star of David Pattern that reflects an ease of integration of the evolution that the creative stress promotes.
Thus Mars -  part of her reliving in the T-square with Pallas in 7th and ruler 5th house Sun, and also part of the Gran Trine with NN and Ceres in Virgo (atoning and healing by self-nurturing) in the Star  pattern in its fruition sense  -  has together with  Venus  a pivotal role in the ongoing of her evolution.   

Rad: To me is still difficult to identify natural guilt. I would especially appreciate your corrections in my try.
Thanks so much
God Bless

Hi Rad and all,

I wrote some more about the hysteria dynamics in Lady Gaga's chart, and added it to my earlier post.  I wanted to let you know in case anyone has already looked at it.  Also I will be traveling starting this Sunday for 2 1/2 weeks, so will be out of touch after that date but will catch up with the group when I return, and really look forward to that.

With love,
God bless,
Jason

Hi Jason,

Thanks for adding the addendum that you have relative to the hysteria within Gag's Soul. Since you will be leaving for a couple of weeks starting Sunday I wanted to briefly comment on this unresolved dynamic of her hysteria since you have put so much EA analysis into it, and that analysis is simply brilliant. It is entirely accurate and comprehensive in it's scope. One core issue that is related to all that you have pointed out that I want to share with you, because you are leaving for a bit so wanted you to know about this related issue, is linked with her inner desire to LOSE CONTROL relative to her desire to control for the reasons you have rightly pointed out. The desire to lose control is contained within the archetype of Capricorn.

In her case with her Mars conjunct Neptune in Capricorn, and both are conjunct her S.Node of Mars in Sagittarius in her 1st, the desire to lose control is then linked with her desire for complete freedom. In this case, the freedom from desiring to control. But much deeper within her is also all the accumulated guilt for all the reasons that you have pointed out in your in depth EA analysis of her past orientations to relationships and people. This deep guilt which is rooted in all the dynamics you have pointed out is also linked with core dynamics that Gonzalo has pointed out that has also lead to her karmic necessity of having to relive and repeat so many relationships from her past: her duplicity.

As a result of this, prior to this life, her Soul has created sexual dynamics that have then lead to a deep part of the unresolved hysteria. In conjunction with her desire for freedom relative to her desire to lose control she has, previous to this life, set up sexual dynamics that involved groups of men, Pluto in Scorpio in the 11th, Mars/Neptune in Capricorn, that would be sexual with her all at the same time. The vernacular of course being called 'gang bangs'. Her Soul set these types of dynamics up to also challenge or push the limits: Pluto in Scorpio in the 11th. Her Soul also set this up in order to punish herself because of the guilt: Mars/Neptune in Capricorn. This is also reflected in the asteroids that you have also correctly understood relative to her 'dark eros'.  

The bottom line is that through this dynamic of the 'gang bangs' she ended up losing control of herself to the point where she was 'forced' to keep having one orgasm after the other to the point of going into an almost unconscious state. Her body kept having orgasms even as she tried to stop it, but could not: total loss of control. It was the sheer intensity of sustained physical sex that she could no longer control that the lead to psychological hysteria. This dynamic within her has manifested more than once, more than in one life, and is various ways including actually being forced against her will: gang rape.

Unresolved hysteria has of course resulted from this dynamic, as well as all the other dynamics that you have so brilliantly understood.

Have a wonderful trip Jason.

God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad and community, I have failed at managing my time appropriately and am not ready to post. I am committing to complete this by the end of the weekend.
God bless,
am

[Rad]

Hi Ari,

Ok.............and, Gray, if you read this let me know you own plans.............


God Bless, Rad

[jasonholley]

Hi Rad and group,

Rad thank you so much for the feedback and the information about Lady Gaga and the Capricorn dynamic around losing control, and for the thoughtfulness of posting it before my trip.  This material is particularly helpful for me in my own work with people dealing with sexual trauma and sexual issues in this lifetime, the more deeply I understand this the more I am able to be of service and in Soul Empathy.
  
To all, I am going with Demetra George and a small group for pilgrimmage to the sites of temples, groves, and healing waters in Greece sacred to the four major asteroid goddesses.  I will remember all of you and our community in the prayers and ceremony we offer in those places.    

God bless,
Jason

Hi Rad, I am hoping to post something on Sunday. If I do not feel free to move on and I'll join in later. I am balancing working on my own curriculum to teach and then making enough time to read and post on the message board; I haven't figured it out yet.

Blessings to all of you,
in Spirit,
Gray

Hi Rad, thank you so much for your continued guidance and unconditional encouragement with this work.

What has been the evolutionary intention within her Soul to experience ‘violence and social confrontations’ of various kinds ? And what are the specific causes of the inner guilt her Soul carries ? These symbols, in conjunction with her 12th House Scorpio Moon also correlate to a deep unresolved  hysteria within her Soul. What is that about, and why ?

The core EA intention for this soul has been to throw off all conditioning factors that prevent her from actualizing her innate individuality. A part of this process has been linked to intense sexual encounters in which she sought intense emotional/sexual stimulation. The reason for this is because of the desire to die, to evolve beyond her own limitations linked to past experiences in which she has in some way chosen to control and repress her sexual urges, and thus has not fully accessed the depth of her inner emotional reality, the basis of which has often been the need to survive. This is signified by the south nodes of Jupiter Pluto and Saturn all in Capricorn in the second house in a first quarter square to the south node which is ruled by Pluto on the sn.

As a result of this need to break free, she has attracted traumatic events into her life that were often through intense sexual exchange, and the way she has dealt with the trauma has been by keeping it inside, holding it within and remaining autonomous (Capricorn second house and first house).

The need for chaos itself is symbolized by Capricorn, in Particular the second house and the sn's being ruled by Saturn in the first along with Mars and its sn conjunct Neptune in Capricorn in the first. She has often resorted to sexuality as a means to survive. She has a history with the sacred role of the sexual initiate as symbolized by Vesta in Aquarius in the second house squaring the nodes, which of course has been distorted over the years. The connection with the Capricorn signatures here implies the intensity through which this soul has internalized patriarchal conditioning around sexuality.

The hysteria itself is indicated by the need to loose control linked with having attracted into her life, consciously and unconsciously (Pluto) various experiences that pushed the limit (11th house) of her identity - through intense emotional and sexual trauma. On a cyclic basis given the 8th house north nodes which is ruled by the Moon, this means she would would enter into a state of deep uncontrolable emotional hysteria. The psychology of victimization and intense emotional need would come through. There would be absolutely no self censoring of this.

The Mars Neptune in Capricorn, especially given the nature of the balsamic phase and the fact of the sn of Mars being right there as well, points to a lot of anger and a strong need to assert her own individuality linked with that anger. This is because of all the ways she has been limited and has suppressed her self in the past. And so, in combination with the sn Pluto and its square to the second house Capricorn, all ruled by Saturn which is forming a T square with Chiron in Gemini in the 7th, points to a strong karmic pattern for this soul having been a really crappy listener in relationships. She has been deeply consumed with her own intense emotional needs, and fulfilling them that she has often asserted her own agenda onto her partners - lacking in the ability to listen. The rulers of Saturn and Chiron are Mercury and Jupiter conjunct in Pisces in the 3rd created that T square. These planets are ruled by Neptune in the first which leads us back to Saturn, its ruler.

This correlates to a soul that has spoken when it wasn't her turn, has been a reactive listener, and has thrusted her own motivations and will into her relationships. Within her soul is a deep need for intimacy, sharing, connection and an equal exchange of dialog and ideas with other souls, however based on her own unresolved emotional dynamics, she has consistatly gone to extreemes in her relartionships of being in control and in some ways manipulative through her use on control, and whenever she would reach a state of intense emotional/sexual stimulation, she would enter into a hysteria linked to profound abandonment and trauma that she has not dealt with. During such episodes her pattern would have been to project onto her partner all the psychological material that is emanating from her individuated unconscious. Projections as well as demands and needs that her partners simply cannot meet.  All of this is also the specific cause of the inner guilt that she carries - that along with having attracted sexual and traumatic experiences that were violative in its very nature, yet having been deeply compelled to participate in it based on the need to create intensity in order to evolve beyond her limitations and break from from past conditioning and trauma. This has hurt herself as well as other people.

The Chiron Pluto inconjunct which loosely forms a yod with Neptune with Saturn at the apex, simply points to the nature of this crisis within the soul. With Chiron at the top the dilemma is her need for balanced relationship and a core wounding within her soul that may project a story like "I am not capable of being met. No one can meet my actual needs. I am too wounded." Her own behavior and experiences in her relationships would in fact be a "proof" to the validity of her own wounding story.

The ea lesson for this soul is to first become conscious of the reality of these patterns, the intensity of her own hysteria and the effects that this has on other people. As she becomes more aware of how she has created trauma for others due to the intensity of her emotional outbursts, she will develop a more humble and compassionate self awareness that will lead her to seek healing at all costs. This will occur by way of reliving the various traumas and abandonments she has experienced in the past in a safe way. This is the nature of the Pluto sn relive condition as it relates to her personal relationships and unresolved hysteria. In order to relive this, she needs to feel incredibly safe and protected - Scorpio Moon in the 12th ruled by that Pluto and ruling the 8th house Cancer north nodes.

She will do this by forming a relationship to a "mother figure" that would provide a source of unconditional love and healing. At her EA stage she is not going to become an amma devotee just yet,
rather this will likely manifest by way of adopting to a life of service that will allow her to become the mother figure and help other souls, in particular women and alienated groups of people, to fully release and heal their own emotional trauma. Doing this more and more, through the medium of art (venus Taurus 5th house), will provide for her the opportunity to become more self aware and objectively detach from the traumas. But that alone won’t fully support her unresolved dynamics in personal relationships.

Healing practices and healers that focus on the access of chaos in a safe and structured way would support her as well. An example of this would be to see a woman healer who works with sexuality in such a way as to support the safe release of repressed emotion.

God bless,
Ari Moshe
