and please explain and describe the meaning when this planet is in retrograde at time of birth, and if this is same for any other planet in retrograde in chart.

thanks for your answers!

Pluto’s sign colors something that we’re going to be quite obsessed with. Often something that we place on such a high pedestal, to bring about an experience of what the ancients deemed "Hubris", in which, if you do not temper yourself, the ‘gods’ will knock you down.

Take for example, Pluto in Cancer, during the world wars. Cancer = homeland, country, roots, family. In fighting so hard for these things, they themselves were destroyed.

Pluto in Leo. Leo likes to play. The baby boomers have all kinds of places to play. The built the world into a playground. Then they’ll buy R.V.’s and go ‘play’ some more. Unfortunately, this gave rise to big automobiles, theme parks, and quite a bit of pollution.

You can look at many recent years just like that.

Each person will be subtlely attuned to the frequencies of Pluto in their chart. They get swept into the mass movements of their time, inevitably.

Retrograde has the planet closer to the earth, and it’s presence will be more strongly felt.

(On average, Uranus’s distance from the Sun is 19 times that of Earth’s)

Use inverse square law.

Since Uranus is 19 times farther from the sun than Earth you do:
19^2= 361
inverse of 361= 1/361<—– Uranus receives 1/361 of the sunlight intensity Earth receives.
the ratio is 1:361

It is not likely Saturn who is trying to reposess the car. It is probably the bank that financed the purchase. You would have to know the name of the financial institution who is the lienholder on the car.

The orbit can be calculated from using Kepler’s third law:
"The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit."
The orbital period of Jupiter can be obtained from simple observations over a period of approx. 12 years. Then, using Earth orbital period (1 year) and distance from Sun (1 AU) as reference:

PJupiter^2/aJupiter^3 = PEarth^2/aEarth^3

aJupiter = 5.2 AU

One you know the size of Jupiter’s orbit, the relative distance between Earth and Jupiter can be easily calcukated by analyzing their relative position with respect to the Sun. Just draw two circles with a common center (the Sun), one with a radius of 1, and another with radius of 5.2, and then mark the position of each planet with respect to the Sun for a given date(what can be easily done from simple observations) and calculate the distance between both planets using simple geometrical relations.

Of course this is a simplification, because the orbits are not exactly circular but eliptic, but this gives you a good approximation that any amateur astronomer can do without complex math. The exact distance can be calculated using precise orbital parameters, which can be obtained via precise observational measurements.

To calculate the diameter of Jupiter you have to measure the apparent diameter using a telescope and an eyepiece with a graduated angular scale. Once you know the apparent size and the distance you can calculate the real size using simple trigonometry.

a surprisingly short to me at least. less than 6 months maybe three. it’s a long time but it’s pretty far and that’s doable. It woul have taken them untold amounts of time as it’s unclear if we are entirely ready to go. Despite lack of funds it’s extremely risky and food and power and everything else for that much time would be pushing it.

I’ve always wanted to see! It’s very interesting.

I suggest you first look into when the ice ages were. There have been many. To start you off here’s a link to a map of the world during the Carboniferous era (there was an ice age half way through that until the Permian age, it lasted from 330-280 million yrs ago). See how far north the southern ice cap is.
http://www.paleoportal.org/media/boilerplate/0/21232_period_pal_map_12_image.jpg
The current ice age (yes, we are in an ice age) started roughly 11 Ma when the Isthmus of Panama rose to separate the Atlantic and Pacific, causing the north pole to ice over, and glaciers to expand to N. America. Search for maps of the Miocene age on google images for that. That will also give you an idea of what earth would look like if we entered back into a glacial maximum stage (we’re in a glacial minimum now).
