The Chandra System by John Sandbach

My ASC is in the 8th degree of Aries.

Aries 08 (Chandra) A LIZARD DRESSED IN BLUE SATIN AND POINTED SHOES. Innocent humor with a sharp edge. Acceptance of the unusual and unexpected. Hostile sarcasm and/or parody. There is a lizard who wears clothes in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland .

Again the snake theme for me is relative as I was born in the year of the Snake. I tend to accept the most bizarre and unusual people and situations without hesitation, but usually to my detriment. …..CJM

My natal ASC is in the 5th degree of Gemini.

Gemini 05 (Chan) AN IMMENSE TORTOISE WITH JEWELS INLAID IN ITS BACK. Firmness in thinking. Vivid expressive ability.-Wanting attention but shying away from it when it comes. There is a tortoise like this in Huysmann’s novel, Against the Grain.

This is all too true. I can be ‘diplomatically obnoxious’. I always say what I think, but then want to be let alone. People find me dramatic and self-assured, but I am physically quite shy. I especially dislike crowds. ….km

My natal Pluto is in the 28th degree of Leo.

Leo 28 (Chandra) MEN DOING GYMNASTICS. Love of displaying one’s power and abilities. Development and maintenance of assets.

Pluto, here, falls in my fourth house. It’s intriguing that this symbol is supposed to involve development and maintenance of assets. I take this to be more spiritual or personal than physical. I’m obsessed with, but unsuccessful at, keeping things working, having enough money, etc. But on a personal level, I find that every year I become more and more aware of personal power and ability………km

My natal Sun is in the 16th degree of Libra.

Libra 16 (Chan) A WOMAN: THE LOWER HALF OF HER BODY IS A SERPENT. Union of primitivism and refinement. Wisdom of the subconscious.

Born in the year of the Snake. I know things without knowing why I know this … the wisdom of the subconscious. ie. Precognitive dreams. In personal relationships I form primitive attachments which are refined to the best they (the relationships) can be. …..CJM

My natal Sun is in the 28th degree of Scorpio.

Scorpio 28 (Chan) “A BUILDING: THE ONLY PART OF IT LEFT IS THE CORNERSTONE” The ability to reject everything about an idea or experience except for its essence.

It’s great to have the natural ability to see through things and get right to the point. At the same time being the Scorpio that I am I can’t live with myself by not living the truth I see. It makes me a bit too serious. It has to be meaningful or forget it and sometimes I go overboard. I’ve been told, “Loosen up!! Geeeezzz. You’re so serious sometimes! Have a drink.” But the bottom line is by knowing the “essence” and being able to live it and experience it is absolutely profound. I wouldn’t give it up for anything. ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING AND NOTHING ……DD

My natal IC is in the 29th degree of Scorpio.

Scorpio 29 (Chandra) AN UMBILICAL CORD. Intimacy of connection with others. Intense direct giving of self. Thriving on one’s associations.

I am personally motivated by inner trust and personal bonds of intimacy. For a commitment I will give everything. Trust, truth and consequences. These are important. I am motivated to impress and to establish deep meaningful relations with others. I do feel secure in my associations. I feel an inner connection to those with similar commitments……..ra

My natal MC is in the 9th degree of Aquarius.

Aquarius 09 (Chan) VIOLETS BLOOMING BY THE BARRED WINDOWS OF A DUNGEON. Hope in the midst of despair. Appreciation of life even in confining circumstances. Violets are a symbol of modesty and simplicity.

I like this one, although it could be more encouraging in terms of MC-10th – home matters. I’ve had many career ups-and-downs, but try not to let it get me down too much. ………..km
