I see many requests to learn how to make Dejanira practical. I am so direct because so many Astrology websites are a dense chicken soup. They talk and talk but make no practical sense. This is worse with asteroids. My goal is to make each asteroid such that one can plug it into one’s chart and come away with practical information. Let’s see if we can do that with Dejanira.
First of all, one does not want Dejanira touching pivotal parts of the chart. If it does, you can be sure that that person has been through a world of pain. The closeness of the orb is key. An exact conjunction is nuclear level worse than a 2-3 degree conjunction. This is a general rule with all asteroids.
Pivotal parts would be the Sun, Moon, ASC, DSC, IC, MC, North Node,Mercury, Venus or Mars. In this list, some would be worse than others. The hardest place for Dejanira to touch is the Moon. I cringe when I see this, literally. I have only seen it in the charts of females. That does not mean it is only in the charts of female. That has just been my experience.
Dejanira conjunct the Moon fractures the person. Think of literal glass breaking. This woman has a world of hurt such that she could scream and never stop like that famous painting, “The Scream”. This position is, usually severe abuse. It is often sexual abuse.The Moon is one’s most sensitive point. It is one’s innocent child’s heart. We, all, have one. Anything that touches your Moon touches you the deepest.
If I had to think of the second hardest placement for Dejanira, I would put Deja conjunct the North Node. This is because the NN is one’s purpose in life. It is what one is supposed to master. If one has to master Dejanira, one will have to live it.
Dejanira is the victim with no voice. Dejanira has given up to such a degree that she lies down and is raped. She does not protest. She does not try to defend herself. Her level of surrender is to the point of soul surrender. This is terribly sad. You can see Dejanira in the faces of abused children. It is an asteroid you don’t want to deal with, but we don’t choose our charts.
Dejanira conjunct Venus would make a person victimized in love. This person may be successful and competent when it comes to career. Many women are successful in their careers but victims in their love lives. One friend made a huge decorating business, from nothing. She became a huge success, such that she was considered for huge level projects such as airports and sports stadiums. However, when it came to love, she was victimized. We have all seen this kind of thing. I would bet that many of these people have Deja conjunct Venus. If you have any information on this, please put it on my Comment Form.
If one has Dejanira conjunct Mars, I am not quite sure to make of this. I know that Deja conj Pluto KEEPS someone from being a victim. I have it. I never let people bully me. Pluto is a strong planet and protects Deja. Hence, my guess is that Mars will do the same. I need your input on this.
Deja conjunct the DSC is another sad state of affairs. This person would look for a victim in the partner. Anything that conjuncts the DSC is what we look for in the partner.
Deja conjunct the Sun would, probably, make the person have the identity of a victim. This is not the person’s fault. No natal chart placement is the person’s fault. Only god knows why. Deja conjunct the ASC may be worse than Deja conjunct the Sun. The Sun could give some level of protection to Deja because the Sun is a strong, yang planet.
Deja conjunct the ASC would be a very vulnerable position. This may be the third hardest Deja position after the Moon and the NN.
As you can see, I need your input. If you have searched the web for info on Deja, you have not found it. That is why I wrote this article. When I Google, I see that people are asking this question. I hope that we can find the answers together.
I will leave the article, as is. I look forward to your Comments and the discussion that will, hopefully, ensue. People need to help each other in the continuing quest to understand the wonders and the magic of Astrology.
