Stationary planets in the natal chart........what's their affect please :)?
HI there, Moondie:) How you interpret this placement depends upon whether the object in question is stationary retrograde or stationary direct. A stationary retrograde planet is digging it's heels in and refusing to make any further progress until what's already been done has been reviewed and revisited. A stationary direct planet refuses to take any further steps back and is commited to moving forward on it's path, but needs to be still and gather energy and momentum before it can do that. As such from my understanding the native with a stationary retrograde placement may sometimes feel that they are constantly reviewing the same old material, or perhaps they feel as though they wish to continue to live in the past, while the stationary direct individual will feel as though they are being held back by circumstances which do not seem to change. It's not a matter of reliving with stationary direct, it's more a matter of being stuck in a rut and seemingly never changing. Also, the stationary direct individual can be quite committed to whatever the placement is representing. Taking your Pluto for example, a stationary retrograde in this instance could indicate the neccessity to review and relearn past life/karmic lessons in order to be able to evolve in this lifetime, whereas a stationary direct placement could indicate that these lessons are already well ingrained and it's just a matter of choice (and progressed movement of the planet to direct) as to when you put these lessons to use in your personal transformation and evolution. The degree placement of a stationary planet, retrograde or direct, is very important, as well as the aspects this planet makes to others in your chart. So, if I were you, I'd look up the meanings of both the decanate and duad of the degree placement of your Pluto for insight in regards to what it is exactly that your Pluto is trying to accomplish, because with a planet just sitting still on a degree like that, it's almost like the planet is trying to draw your attention to the significance of that particular area of your chart. It's sitting there waiting for you to notice it, and it's not going anywhere until you do. I have actually found a pretty good site for stationary retrograde and stationary direct interpretations, but I can't remember what it was. If I do happen to recall that, I'll e mail you the link:)
Is every element on the periodic table the same everywhere in the universe?
As far as we know, yes. In fact, the way we can measure the distances to galaxies billions of light years away (the most distant objects we can see) is by looking at how the hydrogen gas in those galaxies absorbed light emitted by stars. If hydrogen weren't the same there as it is here, we wouldn't be able to do that. That said, across VERY large scales of space, far larger than the observable universe (that is, the part of the Universe that we can see from here), it is possible that the laws of physics are different, resulting in elements behaving differently or not existing at all.
Questions on the planets and plate tectonics?
ok so am having a few problems answering these final questions... any help would be really appreciated. What is plate tectonics? what doies it cause? which planet does it affect and which moon does it affect? what is the difference in the plate tectonics that occurs on the planet as compared with the plate tectonics that occurs on the moon given in the previous question? and lastly can anyone describe the process of differentiation. does it happen to large or small objects? and why? Any help would be greatly appreciated.... and for those smart a** people that say well do your own homework... I've already looked and looked and i can't seem to find the answers to these questions in my book, so please don't waiste my time with that type of nonsence... thanks in advance...
