I know JMG's astrological focus is mundane rather than natal, but I'm hoping the question I have is something general enough that the answer might be similar for both.
What kind of effects might the Soltices have on the aspects of a chart?
For specifics:
I recently started looking into secondary progressions - specifically the lunation cycle - and was shocked to see how well it laid out the milestones of my life. (I've been such an open book and didn't even realize!) As of right now my progressed Sun and Moon are due to line up directly at the exact moment of this year's Summer Solstice, when the Sun reaches it's zenith in Cancer. I feel the itch of significance here but I can't quite put my finger on it.
I am looking through Alan Leo's book The Progressed Horoscope as I type this - if he touches on this and I've been completely oblivious to it, do let me know!
I also want to add in a data point/possible future data point. Your Flight from Predication article has emboldened me to discuss my dream work in a more public setting. (I'm leaving many of the details out for both brevity and privacy reasons.)
The night of the 7th I had a frustrating dream; I was trying to pack up a car and head out on a trip but I kept forgetting important things; This was causing me to have to stop and turn around repeatedly. When I finally arrive at my destination I discover, yet again, that I've forgotten to bring very important items. I woke up before any resolution could be found.
I didn't think much about this dream as it didn't strike me as having much content beyond minor emotional grievances, but a message from a dear friend the following day changed my mind.
Out of the blue she tells me that she's had a dream about me: She had finished dropping me off at a remote location and was on her way back home when she realized that she'd forgotten to leave me something vital! This caused her to stop and turn around, but she woke up before she could resolve the issue.
Plans (of going from place to place) being thwarted by forgetting significant things. I wait in dreaded anticipation of what this might turn out to be...
