Éliphas Lévi (February 8, 1810 – May 31, 1875)

Okay. I don’t know why I was given this man‘s name this morning as I was waking up, but I suspect it was because I was running through scenarios in my mind that had to do with esoteric knowledge like Tarot. “High magic” seems to be his calling card, but he was very misunderstood in his time.

His birth time is unknown. So, the choice was randomized, sunrise or noon. I chose noon, to start, and then rectified his chart to reflect the fact that he entered the seminary (Roman Catholic Church priesthood) at age 22. This is represented by Saturn, occurring just before the Descendant (age 23).

The resulting Yod (Finger of God) points at Uranus, formed by inconjuncts to the Moon and Ascendant. What that means is that this configuration may be totally bogus, or it could be spiritually significant.

Moon Inconjunct Uranus

With this aspect you must learn to control sudden outbursts of emotion that occur at difficult times when you least expect it. Also your present home life may not be a stable situation in which you can grow emotionally secure and confident. A particular incident when you were very young may have given you the feeling that you can’t count on anything or anyone for support. Later in life, you may try very hard to get away from anything that reminds you of your earliest childhood, even if your childhood has not been difficult. You just feel that you have to get away and go somewhere else.

You should be encouraged to express your inner feelings and release the tensions that build up within you. In this way you will not be hurt by energies that you aren’t aware of in yourself.

Uranus Inconjunct Ascendant

Your need to be free and do what you want is often in conflict with what others require of you and even with what you feel you ought to do. Sometimes this conflict can cause considerable physical and emotional tension. The task you face is to organize your life in a disciplined way that will enable you to satisfy your need for freedom through your everyday activities. One way to accomplish this is by figuring out your own methods for doing your work. Or you may choose to do the most interesting and exciting tasks, which are often the most difficult, so that others shy away from them. You need to be challenged by puzzles and problems in all your activities. You are not good at routines and repetitious tasks.
