Exercises in Aimed Solar Returnsfrom the Blog of Ciro Discepolo (83)

Dear Ciro,Thank you for your answer. If the blame is to put on this current LR,

then I can assure you that it is a very very bad LR.As if I didn't have enough stress, they refused my visa for Canada on

Monday.. So, I will no longer be able to travel to Montreal. They couldn'tunderstand the purpose of me travelling alone there.

The main issue that I encounter is that now it is almost impossible totravel anywhere in North America or in the insular region, as almost all theflights to the islands connect to US, for which, of course, I need a visa.

The only suitable (in my opinion) country I could go to, without needinga US transit visa, is Cuba.

But I need a visa for Cuba and it is not sure if there is enough time toobtain it before my SR.

Therefore, I am somehow stuck. Another option would be Moscow inRussia. I would need also a visa for Russia, but there is the possibility tohave it in urgency the same day I apply.

The issue now is that in Moscow I would have a Saturn in 6th andUranus in 12.

The question is, can I handle this? I read your book with the constellationof the symbols, so I should go through some physical suffering with Saturnin 6th, especially dental suffering.

I am still under orthodontic treatment and I don't know if it is safe toendanger my bones and teeth, moreover because I had a surgery.

I don't know what to do. All sort of ideas come through my mind. Could

Jupiter in 1st protect the health against Saturn in 6th?What do you advise?Thank you a lot!Georgiana from Bucarest

Dear Georgiana,I advise you to try again asking the VISA for Canada, adding this my

short explanation of the reason of the travel:

Aimed Solar ReturnI shaped this expression myself to indicate the possibility for whoever to

go away on the day of his/her own anniversary in order to take advantageof a birthday astral situation better than the one they would experience ifthey remained on their own place of birth.

In the January 1999 issue of the Italian magazine Sirio my colleagueGrazia Bordoni published an anthology of declarations about the Aimedsolar returns.

At the end of the article my no-friend Grazia was sad to inform me thatI had been the only one who expressed the confidence that Solar Returnmaps are to be cast for the place where you spend your birthday – not foryour birthplace.

Actually, this lent me a hand. In fact, when I began claiming it withconviction thirty-one years ago, I had to face the opposite, often fierceopinion of the overwhelming majority of my colleagues.

They even derided me for this, harshly and openly criticizing my customof suggesting Aimed Solar Returns to my clients.

Later on, as my works were published in magazines and books, growinglegions of readers embraced these studies, swelling the ranks of the persuadedfollowers of this technique; in order to do that, some of them even disobeyedprecise orders of censorship of their own masters – my colleagues.

Today an opinion poll would show that the "base", even those belongingto schools other than mine, believes – in the great majority of cases – inSolar Returns and in Aimed Solar Returns.

On the other hand a growing number of Pharisees, who have repeatedlyaffirmed their own scepticism on this topic until the other day, has suddenlybegun to assert that they have always been persuaded of the validity ofASR's; and that this matter is so evident that it is not even worth mentioning.This is the reason why I am particularly glad for the testimonials publishedon the a.m. issue of Sirio.

Why have I been the first one to embark on this kind of study with sucha great fervour – at least compared to my colleagues?

There are exactly two reasons. To study an Aimed Solar Return with allthe pertinent charts and the calculation required to cast each of them, youmust have adequate technical means at your disposal. In the early 1970s Ialready used tiny Hewlett-Packard pocket computers – the realprogrammable ancestors of Personal Computer.

With the help of professionals on informatics, on such machines Ielaborated programs that took full care of the long and laborious calculationsnecessary to SR's.

Today's program Molriv of ASTRAL is one of those little jewels: it scansthe entire terrestrial surface in a few minutes.

The other reason that favoured me very much in the study of AimedSolar Returns is that, differing from the times of Alexander Volguine,nowadays whoever wants to spend a birthday in New York City – now aswell as twenty years ago – must not sell his/her own house away any longer,for you can afford it for less than 1,000,000 Italian Liras.

I have been "sending" hundreds of people (more than 25,000 individualsas on January 2013) to spend their birthdays abroad every year for 43years. The balance I have drawn up is astonishingly positive, as you canread in my book Transits and Solar Returns, www.Amazon.com.

If you will not able to get the VISA, the only alternative is Moscow,exorcising every day the bad positions. Surely Jupiter will aid you.

Also Cuba, I think, is possible: departing from Italy with charters flythsyou have not to present a VISA at departing.

The VISA, in Cuba, is possible to get landing and paying about 20-30$,

in few minutes.Print this page and have it always with you for every location.Best wishes.

Dear Ciro,Thank you a lot for your answer!I believe the document you sent related to the reason for travelling is

very useful.Unfortunately, I don't have time anymore to apply again for the

visa in Canada, as the processing takes 10 business days (Monday-Thursday only).

I called at Cuba Embassy and they can give me the visa thesame day.

So, now I have 2 options: Russia or Cuba.As regards Russia, I think that Vladimir city is best, in order to move the

ASR away from the cusp of 8th house.For Havana, does Jupiter have any influence also on the 7th house?Does Jupiter in 6th bring only good work conditions or also elevation in

one's profession/careerWhich of the two seems best for career and general life improvement

with no significant risks on other sectors? Which one would you choose?

ASR 2013 La Habana For Georgiana

9

Thank you so much!Georgiana

Dear Georgiana,at this point you should have to go to Cuba and then, from Havana, with

a bus to reach Guane or over (see the map) where Jupiter is certainly withinthe cusp 6^ / VII Houses.

In this way we reproduce almost exactly the situation - in the part of theAimed Solar Return of Montreal - that interests us.

If there are no bus there you can get a private car and you must pay anamount not too high.

Many greetings.

Dear Ciro,Thank you for your advise. I decided to go to Guane as you

recommended. Hope everything will be fine.To be honest, I am still thinking about that stellium in 10th house from

Russia. It may have been a beautiful opportunity for elevation.My main focus now is career. Hope the chart in Cuba won't mean only

money issues, buying/spending and looks. Life is tricky.

ASR 2013 Guane Cuba For Georgiana

I have Mars in 9th house in both my current SR and LR. So, I shouldprobably book the flights more in advance as anticipation for possible delays.

Thank you a lot!Best wishes,Georgiana

Dear Georgiana,this is the right choice. And after you can admire a wonderful place with

special people that just in these days is exiting from Communism (in ItalyCommunism exists still!).

Yes, add at least 2 days early to be sure to reach Guane on time.Our best wishes!

Thank you Ciro.I just like to work ahead.I have very limited friends I do solar returns for and therefore plenty of

time to look ahead But thanks for making an exception for me. Neena

Dear Neena,it was a pleasure for me.

Ciro Discepolo, an astrologer, journalist and writer,was born in Naples in 1948 (on the 17th of July, at5:40 am).He worked for twenty years at the most populardaily of Naples, Il Mattino, writing articles on science,medicine, informatics, literature and astrology. Healways refused to cast the so-called 'horoscopes of

the solar signs' for that newspaper and for any other newspaper or magazine.He worked (at 20 years old) for five years at the CNR (National ResearchCouncil) as Researcher Helper and, for two years, as Electronic MeasuresLaboratory‘s head in the Istituto Motori of Naples, CNR.He has been dealing with astrology since 1970.

In fact not only he wrote a dozen of texts on this specific segmentof the "Art of Urania" - he can also rely on an experience of more than 20,000aimed birthdays (covering the years 1970 to 2007) that he suggested, whoseoutcomes he collected at an interval of one year.He developed extremely advanced software packages for the study ofPredictive Astrology, also projecting an innovative algorithm which is particularlyuseful for the dating of events within one year for individuals or groups ofpeople.He is deeply interested in informatics. Astrologically speaking, he followed theschool of André Barbault.He founded the school of the Active Astrology.
