Janus 5.2by Mark Griffin, Hamish Saunders, and Angela Thomashttps://astrology-house.com/$249

In the year-and-a-half since I reviewed Janus 5.0 (in the Dec. 2017/Jan. 2018 and Feb./March 2018 issues of The Mountain Astrologer), its authors have released two major updates that are free to Janus 5.0 owners. Janus has become the most frequently updated professional astrology program, advancing in leaps and bounds. Janus runs on Windows 7, 8, and 10 (but not on a Mac using Windows) and is both simple to install and very solid. My favorite new feature is the Fixed Star module. It can display wheels with the Fixed Stars that are conjunct chart points; you can animate the Fixed Star wheel (to see the changing Fixed Star connections) and, best of all, see listings of Aspects to Fixed Stars and Parans to Fixed Stars, com-plete with short but excellent interpretations. Bravo! Traditional astrologers will relish the powerful Distribu-tions/Circumambulations window, which offers an exceptional number of options, including the ability to distribute custom points like Arabic Parts. These astrologers will also appreciate the Arabic Lunar Mansions chart and the animated bi-wheel for Age Harmonics, Primary Directions, and Profections. Researchers will enjoy the tremendous enhancement of the Chart Search tool. Both AND and OR searches can be executed, using Traditional terms (like Sect, Face Rulers, VOC Moon, placement in the Via Combusta, and Eastern or Western Lunar Mansions), as well as modern terms such as points by Sign, Element, Mode, House, Quadrant, Rulership, Out-of-Bounds, and Aspect or Midpoint (between two points). You can also search for Chart Shapes, Aspect Patterns, Chart Types (e.g., Returns, Age Harmonic, Arc Transform, Composite, Decumbiture, Directed) and for a person’s name, year or month or day or hour of birth, words in notes, the day of the week, etc. And you can preview each chart that matches the search criteria. But what puts this way over the top is the range of points that you can search for: Planets, Angles, Plutoids, Asteroids, Uranians, Fixed Stars, Arabic Parts, Midpoints and Sums, House Cusps, and more. Wow! Janus’s Timeline (predictive graph) has also received a major upgrade. Now it is easy to see exactly what events are occurring and their duration.

One of Janus’s extraordinary merits has been its rich and detailed interpretive reports. It’s the only program with full natal, transit, synastry, and relocation reports built in. The natal reports include well-written midpoint interpretations, and the relocation reports delineate the relocated Ascendant and MC, Stars on Angles, Midpoints of Planet Directions, Destiny Crossing, and so much more than any other reloca-tion report. In the update, these reports have been improved considerably. Those who use Astrodynes are in for a special treat. The Janus Astrodyne module report is incredibly compre-hensive and includes weightings of aspects; the power and harmony of planets, signs, and houses; evaluation of modes, elements, East/West, Above/Below, Trinities; and more. Janus has the distinction of being the only Western as-trology program that allows you to make changes to Vedic North and South Indian chart formats (font size, house num-bering, colors, etc.), and it is the first one to be able to draw Vedic aspects lines in charts. Among the many new features are a Gauquelin sector chart, Wynn-Key Returns, a Munkasey Midpoint Weight-ing Analysis module, and a Custom Arabic Parts Editor and Viewer (with more than 500 Parts already available). One frequently requested function that Janus now offers is the ability to export entire chart files to Excel, choosing what birth data and planets to export. (Janus can also export predictive hit lists.) The Janus software has always been a truly great value, and with all of the recent advances and its many unique capabilities, Janus is clearly a program worthy of every astrol-oger’s attention.

Ancient Skies: From the Dawn of Civilization to Today Broadcast on both BBC4 in Great Britain and PBS in the United States, the mini-series Ancient Skies is a gem. Visually, the video is stunning and engaging as the story of mankind’s relationship with the skies unfolds. Beginning with the earliest observations, writings, and illustrations, the series shows the impact of our current technological and scientific insights about how the universe works. The programs pro-vide a view of the cosmos through the eyes of our earliest ancestors, and illustrate how our perspectives of the cosmos have evolved as we have developed a scientific approach to our lives. There’s also in-depth philosophical opinion and com-mentary about astrology’s role in our understanding of the Big Picture. One of the featured scholars on the program is Dr. Nicholas Campion, the director of the Sophia Centre’s MA in Cultural Astronomy. Ancient Skies is a three-part se-ries, each episode taking the viewer on a journey through time and evolutionary thought. The episodes are titled: “Gods and Monsters,” “Finding the Center,” and “Our Place in the Universe.” You might still be able to access these vid-eos through the PBS website’s streaming options.

A History of NY Times Inclusion of Astrology “Like a Virgo: How The Times Covers Astrology” — an entertaining and informative article in The New York Times “Insider” section (August 31, 2019) — explores the newspa-per’s attitudes toward astrology. Author Amanda Svachula traces a general history of how astrology has been utilized by civilizations, from ancient times until this millennium. She rightly begins with the premise that The Times is a Virgo, with its first publication on September 18, 1851. The author emphasizes the variety of applications involving astrology and astrological principles woven into many subjects, and remarks that astrology is everywhere in our current world. “Today, astrology is at once a big business, a topic that unifies people online, a daily diversion and a balm for the anxieties of everyday life.” Then, she goes on to ex-plore how The Times and other periodicals have approached

including astrological topics over the decades. She also com-ments that, in her discussion with others at The Times, there is a clear sense that this newspaper will never include a Horoscope column, “because it is not supported by science.” However, she maintains that astrology’s relatable language is ultimately valuable content. Quoting Choire Sicha, the edi-tor of The Times “Styles” section: “Astrology is a great entry point to intimate conversations about relationships and fam-ily [because] they’re widespread ideas in the culture that help people connect.”

In Brief Congratulations to the co-winners of the Charles Harvey Award for Exceptional Service to Astrology, 2019. Christeen Skinner and Angela Cornish tied in the vote count, and were presented with their awards at the 2019 Astrological Associ-ation of Great Britain Conference held in June 2019. Miami’s history museum, History Miami, recently un-veiled “Mucho, Mucho Amor: 50 Years of Walter Mercado,” an exhibit about the life and career of Walter Mercado, the vibrant Puerto Rican astrologer, psychic, and media star. For more than three decades, Mercado reached up to 120 million Latinx viewers every day. His programs ran on Univision and Telemundo. Some may remember him more for his brilliantly adorned capes and over-the-top persona, whose engaging and flamboyant style marked his unique-ness. More about Mercado and the special exhibit can be found in an article by Paola de Varona, “Walter Mercado Couldn’t Have Predicted This,” published in The Outline.com (August 20, 2019). Astrologer Frank Clifford was profiled in Turkey’s edition of Hello! magazine in Spring 2019. Frank commented about his Turkey experience on his Facebook page: “This is what I call a fun Jupiter transit of the Descendant. It was a great trip to Istanbul: teaching, seeing clients … meeting many wonderful people.” If you’re searching for the Jim Maynard calendars and Celestial Guides for 2020, they are not being printed for that year, but the publisher hopes to have the 2021 issue avail-able in late 2020.

Gemini Full Moon — December 11–12 by Diana McMahon Collis

The charts for the lunations in this issue are all set on the natural wheel with 0° Aries rising.

The Gemini Full Moon spotlights duality, movement, and communication. Gemini is a flexible and dexterous sign; with the Moon here, we may be able to attend to sev-eral projects at once, without losing a beat. The Sun and Moon are nevertheless making a t-square to Neptune, which adds potential confusion into the mix, so we need to be wary of getting our wires crossed. There is also the pos-sibility of going down a path, believing that it is uncharted territory or ours alone, only to discover that someone else has been working in parallel to us. This could relate to an interest where it seemed important to prove ourselves, but we realised that we must partly rely on others to get the end result we seek. Neptune’s ability to soften hard boundaries could also allow creative forces to be channeled more freely. The combined creative and intuitive qualities of the Sun and Moon can be beneficially brought together, despite their polar positions at the Full Moon. We may need to be open to compromise with others, though, if we are to avoid squabbles or blowups. Square aspects often represent in-ternal conflict, so it might help to gently self-talk ourselves through any difficult patches. It may also be helpful to borrow techniques from subtle, Neptune-themed spiritual-ity and lifestyle models which link the mind and body, such as those in some of the Eastern traditions, particularly meditation and massage practices. The Gemini Moon is governed by Mercury in Sagit-tarius, a placement which traditional astrology classifies as “ill-dignified” — another way of saying that the planet is a little lost there. Sagittarian thinking tends to be wide-ranging and visionary, encompassing the bigger picture. The Mercurial mind can be scat-tered by so many options at hand, and may prefer busy, immediate engagement to the lofty aims of rainbow-reaching expansiveness. Mercury trines Chiron in Aries, however, offering personal heal-ing. The lesson here is to trust our own intuition and ideas. Even though someone may seem to have a finger on the pulse of something “big,” we should remember that it does not mean that their en-tire assessment is automatically, completely accurate. A speculative deal can be inflated to seem promising, but the reality turns out to be far from the goal we seek. A key to success, therefore, is to stay connected with how the mind functions, particularly when we are faced with ideas and agendas that are distant from our own. For ex-ample, it might be easy for us to think that another view is “wrong” when it merely poses a “different” approach. Jupiter disposits both the Sagittarius Sun and Mercury — and is almost as far out of its most favourable places as

Mercury is, since Jupiter is said to be in its “fall” in Capri-corn. Jupiter rises to the heights of exaltation in Cancer, but in Capricorn, it can fall to earth with a resounding thud. We can only hope that, should this occur, we witness no broken bones! Any threatened tumble could be softened through redirection to a “safety net.” With Jupiter trine Uranus, this could manifest as a last-minute option or an unexpected de-velopment which somehow saves the day. But we can take advantage of this only if we spot the opportunity and run with it. Jupiter in Capricorn tends to feel restricted, whilst the trine to Uranus appears to offer breathing space. Musi-cian Steve Winwood famously sang, “If you see a chance, take it!” In other words, do not hesitate to grasp an oppor-tunity to breathe more easily within any situation that has come to feel too confining. The Moon is also quincunx Venus, Saturn, and Pluto in their Capricorn stellium, suggesting the potential for miss-ing something in our peripheral vision, perhaps because our sights are so closely set on a current target. Where this represents illness, it might have been a slow-burning de-velopment. Whilst we may not have spotted its arrival, we may nonetheless still be able to take positive action. Since Venus is involved, contact with and support from others may be invaluable.
