Recent relocation from central Scotland, 200 miles north, to the Atlantic coast, and a beneficially altered astrological environment, has further reinforced my conviction that Location Astrology has a major role to play.
My confidence in Location Astrology, is all borne out of personal experience, that verifies to me, we are able to predict with reasonable accuracy the tone or flavour of the local environment.
Comment follows…
ARE WE ALL SCOTTISH, is an article commenting on the ♆NEPTUNE ♇PLUTO Paran. It seems that everyone born on earth since the 1920’s, has this Paran running through Scotland.

Previous articles concentrated on the relationship between certain football players and the predictable experiences they have had or would likely encounter at specific locations.
To make each analysis we plot the trajectory of the sun, moon and major planets across planet earth for the specific day of birth. Directly under these pathways are where the influences of each planet manifests most intensely.
Perhaps one of the most favourable influences is under the path of ☿Mercury rising. Allegedly it is here that health improves most. We all have this area somewhere, with varying degrees of accessibility.
For 12 years I had personal experience of ☿Mercury rising at full intensity, in Crimea. Before departing from the UK in 2001, chronic back injuries required regular repair. 9 years later, at the age of 49, and in temperatures exceeding 40°c, I single-handedly dug an 8-metre-deep water well with pick-axe and shovel.
I also became aware of and practiced looking directly at the sun immediately after sunrise. Some say, and I wouldn’t disagree, that this is our greatest gift from nature.
After gradual acclimatisation, over several months, it became possible, to look directly at the sun for up to forty minutes after sunrise. The sun’s vibration can be seen most clearly at that time, and therefore, may be more easily absorbed in the purer early morning air.
While it is also possible to stare directly at the sun in the minutes preceding sunset the view is not the same. As the day progresses we generate more and more debris in the air. My experience is, that at sunset, it is not possible to accumulate the same sun energy, available at sunrise.
In terms of physical exercise, at that time, the Gnostic teaching of Samael Aun Weor, introduced me to Tibetan Rites for Rejuvenation, a series of five simple Sufi and Yogic exercises, and pranayama breathing. Many examples of the Rite can be viewed online.
Of course, health is not only measured physically. A synthesis of Gurdjieff, Sufi tradition and Gnosis was a gushing fountain of profound wisdom.
It was Sheikh Abdullah Ansari of Herat, in western Afghanistan, that taught, in life we must avoid four traps; ingratitude in good fortune, impatience in ill-fortune, discontentment with our lot and hesitation in helping others.

It is possible to identify where we can experience improved health, self-expression, relationships, energy and prosperity financial or otherwise. There are also locations to avoid where the opposite can occur.
Physical presence at a different location transforms aspects of our life but simply communicating with others at a beneficial location can also provide a positive transformation.
All that is needed to start the journey of discovery is an accurate birth time, date and place.
RELOCATION & TRAVEL©
Originally published at Linked In, January 2019
There is a technique that makes it possible to predict with a high degree of accuracy what circumstances we can expect at a given location.
The concept emerged in the mid 1970’s, pioneered by an American astrologer Jim Lewis. He produced a description, for the influence of each planet and their combinations. These interpretations are still widely used.
Professional sportsmen provide us with the excellent examples of relocation consequences. A highly successful player transfers to a new club and doesn’t perform or vice versa. Moving from an area where the ☉Sun was the predominant influence to where ♄Saturn predominated has the distinct possibility, at best, of significant dip in form, and at worst a career crash.
The full effect of moving to a different location tends to require six months for the transition to be complete but a trickle begins immediately. The influence of our birth location can never be entirely eliminated. To calculate the map an accurate birth time is essential.
Certain keywords can be used to describe the influence of each planet. The following paragraphs describe personal experiences in different locations that for me validate Jim Lewis’s original interpretations.
☉Sun – Personality & Expression
This is where we probably feel most confident. It was December 2016 in Moscow that I first felt this influence: noticeable immediately, albeit just for a few days. After a harrowing departure from Crimea, my home for twelve years, not knowing when I would return, a short flight to Moscow suddenly brought a sense of calm and assurance. Four wonderful days unfolded feeling relaxed and confident, with ease of self-expression.
My oldest son was fortunate to be born under this influence. He rarely lacks confidence.
☽Moon – Emotion & Desire
My most intense experience of the ☽Moon’s influence came during several visits to Minnesota in the late 1970’s as a teenager. The ☽Moon is also somewhat representative of desire. The teens can be an uncomfortable time, but during these visits there was an especial sense of discontentment; an inability to be satisfied. Jim Lewis alleges that in combination with certain other planets, such as ♃Jupiter, the ☽Moon’s influence can be beneficial.
☿Mercury – Communication & Health
Until arriving in Crimea in 2004 I had never experienced the influence of ☿Mercury for any prolonged period. For me, its influence tends to manifest in relatively inaccessible locations. Fortunately, the ☿Mercury Ascendant influence does occur in Crimea and behaved entirely as predicted, reinvigorating my health to an extent I could hardly have imagined. My body is more supple at almost sixty years old than I was in my thirties, and despite having departed from the peninsula (hopefully not forever) retain better habits for my general well-being than before I arrived there.
♀Venus – Love & Peace
If only we could all feel constantly like I feel in Odessa. ♀Venus influence seems to make everything less serious. I was never in the area to experience the creative dimension. A few years ago I tested the birth date of Leonardo Da Vinci to measure the strongest planet in his personal horoscope and his ♀Venus measurement shot off the scale!
My most recent relocation injected more Venus. I have never hoovered so often.
♂Mars – Energy & Drive
♂Mars is the predominant influence at my birth place. While conferring an abundance of energy, the influence of ♂Mars can create a tendency to attract others’ antipathy. Care is needed with outward expression, which can often manifest as excessive vehemence.
♃Jupiter – Growth & Success
Although not present in my birth chart, ♃Jupiter’s influence manifests for me in the Netherlands through France across the Bay of Biscay and enters the Atlantic at the Spain Portugal border. In this area, there have been a few memorable moments.
In 2005, I was fortunate to purchase one of the first Jeeps to be registered in Europe. Originally purchased by the Dutch security service it had the most solid body you can imagine. Despite its 245,000 km, for a bargain price it ran for a further 110,000 km before I returned it to where it was bought. Apart from a few costs, the worst induced by me after forgetting the old adage ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’, the times with the Cherokee were some of the best moments in my life. She crossed Europe from Scotland to Crimea ten times.
Many years earlier, in the area from Bordeaux to Bilbao, I vividly recall some of my happiest childhood moments during a family holiday that began and ended with two calm voyages across the Bay of Biscay – renowned for its squalls.
♄Saturn – Foundation & Restriction
Perhaps the funniest story here is from California in 1994. Here is a quote from the original interpretation by Jim Lewis for ♄Saturn: ‘Agriculture may fail here as it doesn’t rain much when you are around, but land value may gradually increase and minerals and mining are among the few activities that are successful’.
This influence manifests for me on a line running north south through Los Angeles. We arrived there on a Sunday afternoon in March and were driven in torrential rain from LAX to San Diego, but that was it. A couple of days later while golfing, my partner saw Catalina island from Torrey Pines for the first time in eight years as CA began to experience its warmest March for 65 years. The visit culminated with a shorts and T-shirt promenade on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco! We were lucky. What appears as a negative interpretation worked in our favour.
Several vacations to Tenerife – where I also experience the influence of ♄Saturn – were not so pleasant, including the closest I ever came to drowning.
♅Uranus – Originality & the Unexpected
It’s never been quite possible to feel the influence of ♅Uranus without the influence of another planet coming to bear. In combination with the ☽Moon, its manifestation in Kiev was exactly as described by Jim Lewis, as routine became impossible and every day was unique and an adventure.
It is possible for me that in central Europe the influence of ♅Uranus might manifest as a somewhat gypsy like existence. In 1969 and 1971 we visited there for a family holiday in a VW camper!
♆Neptune – Imagination & Mysticism
♆Neptune is undoubtedly the planet with which I have the least experience. Maybe it’s time to go looking. It doesn’t feature for me at all in Europe and while under its moderate influence for a couple of short periods in the USA there were always other planets manifesting more strongly.
Some feedback here would be appreciated.
♇Pluto – Power & Transformation
♇Pluto was one of three influences that manifested for me during twelve years in Crimea. This was where I discovered the writing of GI Gurdjieff and Gnosis. What could be more powerful and transformative?
There is no doubt that location astrology is a tool for our benefit whether relocating, travelling for business or planning a vacation.
