On two occasions Saturn brought me to the brink of death. Would you attribute that to a mitigation from the Moon’s dispositorship in Taurus? That is one of many examples of how Saturn has brought intense challenge/ loss in my life and yet I have been able to overcome. I have been sober since then, have two daughters, and a very stable committed meditation practice. The climax resulted in my entering a rehab program, finally finishing my bachelors degree, and launching a serious lifelong commitment to a meditation practice which has become the most positive thread of my life, and my boyfriend recommitting to me (we have been married 19 years since). I had a dramatic escalation in my drinking /drug addiction problems and my life fell completely apart. An example is from my first Saturn return, when my lifelong boyfriend kicked me out of the house and officially broke up with me. However, in the course of time I seem to overcome, and sometimes benefit from these crises. When Saturn rules a year or period, or has a major transit, I have faced shattering setbacks and challenges/ losses. I have come to recognize Saturn periods as the most difficult in my life, by far.
Cancer rising, Moon in Taurus in the 11th applies within 4 degrees to Saturn, Saturn rules the 8th by whole sign, in a night chart. I feel my own natal chart would serve as an interesting case study to investigate the question: Have you come to a consensus since your discussion with Ryan Butler about the correct interpretation of a malefic when received by its dispositor? That has been a source of my own lack of clarity when looking at charts. I am responding to the two discussions in your podcast on reception and mitigating factors. I have been enjoying your podcast so much! Thank you for the exceptional content and thorough investigations.

In the first part of the lecture I talk about the history and philosophy behind this concept, while in the second half I present a bunch of contemporary chart examples to demonstrate how the technique works in practice.
Medieval astrologers often treated reception as a powerful mitigating factor, which could make aspects from benefics even more positive, or alternatively make difficult aspects from malefics more constructive. Since the signs of the zodiac were originally conceptualized as the homes or dwelling places of the planets, reception was conceptualized as what happens when a host planet welcomes and supports guests staying in its home. Episode 287 features a lecture by Chris Brennan on the concept of reception in traditional astrology, and how it can be used as a powerful mitigating factor in birth chart interpretation.īroadly speaking, reception occurs when one planet is placed in a sign ruled by another planet, and the ruler of the sign aspects the guest planet.
