Mutual Receptions really like Aspects ??!!! 1 by Yikkes! Dear All, My feeling is that Mutual Receptions can be seen like aspects. Received into Saturn's dignities will be a negative experience but into Jupiter's a more beneficial! Would you agree with that simplistic analysis?

2 by Morpheus Yikkes!-- Receptions are of two kinds. Those involving an aaspect and those without any aspect. Receptions without aspects are just generosities. Regarding reception by a malefic or by a planet ruling malefic house, following article by Deborah Houlding is worth reading http://www.skyscript.co.uk/reception.html Regards Morpheus https://horusastropalmist.wordpress.com/ Quote Tue Jul 03, 2007 10:07 am
3 by Yikkes! Thanks! I've read it but I'll dig it out and read it again. Just trying to get to the idea a little more simply. We might say an aspect between a point/ planet and Saturn will tend to the restrictive/ negative. Could we simplify receptions in the same way? H. Yikkes! Quote Wed Jul 04, 2007 8:39 am
4 by Morpheus Yikkes!-- Lets say like this. If Saturn receives any planet in one of his dignities more especially reception by house. Then Saturn would be reluctant to harm that planet, more so if there is an aspect. After all one does not harm his/her guests.

5 by Yikkes! Thanks Gryffindor ! Still struggling with this. I could settle with the idea that the planets change place. As to your point I know plenty of people who would "fleece" their guests. Also of the receptions was with a planet in Detriment or Fall then I'd feel that that negative effect would be picked up. H. Yikkes! Quote Fri Jul 06, 2007 2:30 pm
6 by kerenhappuch Hi Hamish, Aspects show opportunity to act. Receptions show inclination to act. In horary, this means if two planets are approaching an aspect then there is an opportunity for something to happen. Whether or not it does depends upon the receptions - do the planets want to act? Do they like each other? Positive mutual reception increases the chance of the planets working together to give a "Yes, this will happen" answer. If there is negative or no reception, the planets have no inclination to work together and we can say "No, this event will not happen". Put more simply: Scenario 1: Your friend invites you for dinner. There is an opportunity to act (aspect). Last week you had a good game of golf together. You got on well, and so you accept the invitation. You are inclined to act upon the opportunity (positive reception). Scenario 2: Your friend invites you for dinner. There is an opportunity to act (aspect). But last week you found out he has been flirting with your wife. You now dislike him and so you decline the invitation (negative reception). You are not inclined to act upon the opportunity. It may seem simplistic but the basics of astrology really are this basic. Try thinking of the planets in your charts as people. Which planets do they like (positive reception)? Which do they dislike (negative reception)? We start from the basics and move upwards, but we can't do this unless we have the basics secure! Hope this helps. Keren Quote Fri Jul 06, 2007 5:32 pm
7 by Yikkes! OK. It sort of comes back to the real point. A negative reception meaning into a planet in Detriment or Fall (or even Face) and a positive into Rulership, Exaltation, Triplicity, Term ? Or being received by the mals Saturn and Mars ? Or maybe the first but with the planet in bad condition, ie retrograde or receiving a bad aspect, or being in a limiting house ? Yes I've found that the most complicated things usually, eventually, come down to simple concepts. H. Yikkes! Quote Mon Jul 09, 2007 7:01 am
8 by Yikkes! So it is possible to be received into a more negtive position than one has but only into Face, Detriment anf Face in practically reality. And not by specific planet such as Saturn. Yikkes! Quote Tue Jul 17, 2007 3:57 pm
