Releasing The Serpent in Greater Detail

This class will go in more depth. It should be noted that this technique will not only
released the nodes it will also release the stress o! any house a"is. I#$e been using these
%ha$at %ha$am houses as higher octa$es&release points !or a couple years now.
To re$iew'
Releasing the Serpent is one o! many anchoring techniques that I am bringing out at this
time. These (nchoring Techniques allow either )estern or *edic astrologers to organi+e
the in!ormation in an astrology chart in a power!ul and e!!icient manner. (nchoring
Techniques are methods that organi+e (nchoring ,rinciples.
Releasing the Serpent in$ol$es'
-. Identi!ying the house a"is that is a!!ected by the north and south nodes.
.. /inding the %ha$at %ha$am point common to each o! these houses.
0. 1se the attributes o! the %ha$at %ha$am point to release the serpent.
This technique wor2s because each house a"is shares a common 1ni$ersal principle. The
%ha$at %ha$am house also re!ers to a common energetic !actor between these two
houses. This manual will e"plore the speci!ics o! each 3ouse a"is and its %ha$at %ha$am
release point.

Lets Go!
1) The first and seventh house axis. 1) The first and seventh house axis.
The anchoring principle o! the !irst and se$enth house a"is is the concept o! 4the sel! and
other4. The !irst and se$enth house shows this balancing act between satis!ying our own
needs and the willingness to compromise with our partners in order to allow them to
satis!y theirs. The high desires o! the se$enth house engage us in a push and pull that
re$ol$es around stic2ing up !or oursel$es & e"erting our own personal will and clari!ying
that sel! image against the !eedbac2 we recei$e !rom our partners and other people in
general.

The serpent is released through the !irst house as it is the trigger point !or both the !irst
and se$enth houses.

The deeper meaning here is that the relationship we are ha$ing with oursel$es is also the
relationship we ha$e with other people. ,ersonal relationships o! all sort are simply a
mirror o! our sel!5image. )e choose the partner and signi!icant others in our li!e that
a!!irms our sel! image. 6ur relationships with other people will not impro$e until the
relationship with oursel$es our true sel! also impro$es.

2) The second and eighth house axis. 2) The second and eighth house axis.
The anchoring principle o! the second and eighth house a"is is the concept o! 4security and
insecurity4. Security comes in many !orms 55 wealth !riends and is re!lected in our
immediate en$ironment. This is the principle o! the second house those things that are
anchors in our li!e. 7ust opposite o! that are the eighth house things that une"pectedly
undermine the stability and solid structure we are trying to build. Death deep !ears and
emotional wea2nesses the sudden shoc2s o! li!e that we cannot control.

The serpent is released through the third house as is the trigger point !or both the second
and eighth houses.

The deeper meaning here is that the third house is one o! !le"ibility and courage. )e need
!le"ibility o! mind to be open to a $alue system that is not simply based on our past !amily
tradition et cetera. (lso the second house is $ery materialistic. The will and courage o! the
third house not only brea2s up the materialism o! the second house in allows us to con!ront
the !ears o! the eighth house. Typically we cling $ery tightly to our currently held belie!s
system hoping to resist the !ear!ul changes that await us 89
th
house:. /le"ibility humor and
courage are needed 55 qualities o! the third house. Siblings and similar relationships with
!riends pro$ide a constant testing a ree$aluation o! the stability&uncertainty principle.

In the chart to the right not only is the
Rahu & ;etu a"is in the second and
eighth houses it is <oined Saturn
=oon and =ars. 6nce the nodes <oin
other planets releasing them also
releases those planets !rom their grip.
Third 3ouse a!!airs !or this person is a
$ery prominent part o! their li!e. /or one
thing he is a middle child o! !i$e
siblings.
The relationship with his brothers and
sister has been a ma<or area o! growth
!or him. 3e has always identi!ied $ery
much with himsel! as part o! his !amily.
In !act he has been in business with
his older brother !or close to -> years.
There is always a certain low5le$el
stress and tension to this relationship
howe$er.

This person has always been quite a
philosopher yet not much o! a spiritual
practitioner ? as shown by 7upiter
occupying the third house. 7upiter is
also the ruling planet ? o! his
Sagittarius ascendant. 3e !ancies
himsel! as honoring all spiritual paths
but it is all simply word games.
@spousing a sort o! 6de to e$ery man
ethos he a$oids ha$ing to ta2e
responsibility !or a path that in$ol$es
authentic commitment.
3owe$er he is always quic2 to point out
religion#s hypocrisies and the abuses o!
Ahurches perils o! !anaticism and
other non5starters. This philosophical
nature is his hollow substitute !or a
more committed authentic spiritual
path.

3) The third and ninth house axis. 3) The third and ninth house axis.
The anchoring principle o! the third and ninth house a"is is the concept o! 4=y will or
God#s will4. Through the third house we only trust those things that we can rationally
understand or e"plain oursel$es or accomplish through our own power and sel!5will.
6pposite that is the ninth house those things we cogni+e through belie!. )hether it be a
higher power li2e religion or some other great teachers and teachings 55 ninth house
energy is where we go on !aith and belie$e what we are told.

The serpent is released to the !i!th house as the trigger point !or both the third and the
ninth houses

The deeper meaning here is that the !i!th house is one o! personal creati$ity aligned with
God#s will and dharma. %eing bogged down in third house energy has us simply playing
and e"perimenting with many interests and not pursuing or growing any o! them with
de$otion and creati$ity. 6nce our third house interests become the !i!th house 4children4
we bring a higher purpose to them. (t this point rather than immaturely arguing with the
higher !orces in the uni$erse we align our natural intelligence and !ree thin2ing mind with
something that e"pands us as well. Ahildren are a huge bridge between our rebellious
third house and !aith in a higher power ninth house.

4) The fourth and 10th house axis. 4) The fourth and 10th house axis.
The anchoring principle o! the !ourth and ->th house is a concept o! 4inner strength and
outer strength4. The !ourth house re!ers to our emotional stability peace and capacity to
!eel sel! !ul!illed. This inner peace is e"pressed e"ternally through the actions we ta2e and
the le$el o! responsibility we are able to handle as a result. )e can only rise in li!e
commensurate to our le$el o! core emotional strength. The ->th house is the tree o! our
li!e and the !ourth house its root system.

The serpent is released through the se$enth house as the trigger point !or both the !ourth
and ->th houses.

The deeper meaning here is that the se$enth house is one o! other people and more
speci!ically romantic partners. Bearning to negotiate proper respect!ul boundaries 5
compromise and play !air with those partners and others in general are all themes. This
power is !urther rein!orced by the se$enth house !alling equidistant !rom both the !ourth
and ->th houses. The real 2ey to happily !ul!illing our highest actions comes through the
se$enth house. 6ur personal relationships are the power!ul bridge between our inner and
our li$es.

In this case we see Rahu&;etu !alling along the
C&-> a"is release point is the se$enth house.
/or this person relationships are central to her
li!e. She is an incredibly good people person
and bases D>E o! her identity on her
relationships with other people.
This chart has a lot o! natural strength and
power. There are se$eral Ra<a Fogas 8Royal
associations: in the !irst house with =ars and
the Sun ? this gi$es a lot o! masculine power.
(lso the *enus&=oon con<unction in the -.
th

house gi$es a lot o! !eminine power.
7upiter sitting power!ully in the se$enth house
rein!orces her immense people s2ills and
allows her to o$ercome the natural an"iety and
emotional !ears that unsettle her at times. It
also allows her to ad$ance $ery easily at wor2.

She doesn#t ha$e a college education yet
has wor2ed and made a lot o! money in
pro<ect management in ban2s. Typically she
gets hired as a temp then they 2eep her on
because they li2e her and 2eep promoting
her. 3owe$er she does not en<oy the wor2
there is a sense o! drudgery in career.
8;etu in the ->th:. She li2es pro<ect5
management because she#s able to
!acilitate and help people.
She is $ery spiritual and studies astrology.
She recently got married to and (merican
astrologer.
3er relationship partners are her biggest
teachers. In !act to her detriment at times
her spiritual wisdom and spiritual path are
sub<ugated to worship o! the partner.

5) The fifth and 11th house axis. 5) The fifth and 11th house axis.
The anchoring principle o! the !i!th and --th house a"is is the concept o! 4I create !or
mysel! or !or others4. The !i!th house is what draws our creati$e intelligence toward
growing that which we are most !ond o!. It is creati$ity !or its own sa2e 55 as a !unction o!
lo$e and sel!5growth not pro!it or gain. The --th house is where we transmute those
personal desires into something that is bene!icial !or all but it o!ten in$ol$es a thinning out
or compromising o! our indi$idual creati$e dri$es. Through the --th house we !eel our sel!
in comparison to others and are !aced with the choice to compete with them or ser$e this
higher cause.

The serpent is released at the ninth house as the trigger point !or both the !i!th and --th
houses.

The deeper meaning here is that the ninth house is one o! e"pansi$e creati$e $ision !or a
cause greater than yoursel!. It is classically the 3ouse o! religion and great teachings.
=an5made laws and God made laws are all the realm o! the night house so is teaching. It
is also the most power!ul wealth house. 6ur desire to create !or creations sa2e !inds a
more worthy purpose here we uni$ersali+e and integrate our teachings and philosophies
into something that bene!its all 55 the highest calling o! the --th house. Teaching
something you lo$e is a great e"ample.

In the chart to the right the nodes are in the
G&-- a"is. The release point is the ninth house.
There is no planet in the ninth house yet the
ninth house ruler =ercury is in the !ourth
house Aapricorn retrograde with the moon ?
the ->
th
house ruler.
This person is dedicated to her li!e as an artist
and a singer&musician. She has had an
e"tremely co5dependent relationship with her
musical partner&roommate. =ore than -. years
they ha$e li$ed in the same warehouse space
barely getting by battling through numerous
health issues and illnesses all the while trying
to ma2e music together.
Fet all o! this e!!ort and sacri!ice !or this musical
dream has not e$en produced a single AD
worth o! music. They are not romantically
in$ol$ed but he has serious boundary issues.
3e is much older than her hates e$ery

boy!riend she has 5 has not had a girl!riend in
!i$e years. She immaturely plays her
boy!riends against this roommate& musical
partner. Aurrently they are e$en more deeply
in$ol$ed with each other pro!essionally co5
managing their building o! warehouse spaces.
The ninth house issues o! li!e are deeply
con!used due to this =ercury&=oon
con<unction. )hen mercury and the moon <oin
in an angle the details get blurred with
emotions and the person has trouble applying
discrimination and brea2ing out o! debilitating
ruts.
3er relentless indi$idualism applied to her
creati$ity could ta2e root in something more
ele$ated and meaning!ul 5 with more
discrimination. Fet underneath it all she has
e"actly what she wants. She has an enormous
!ear o! ambition 5 success and !ailure. 8;etu in

6) The sixth and 12th house axis. 6) The sixth and 12th house axis.
The anchoring principle o! the si"th and twel!th house is the concept o! 4accountability
and e!!ort & a$oidance and surrender4. The si"th house is the area o! li!e where we
e"perience $ery little <oy. It is a repository o! li!e#s drudgeries debts and the e"penditure
o! energy we must put !orth to maintain the things we want. The -.th house is the area o!
li!e where we simply want to let go o! e$erything. In many ways it is the part o! us that
does not e$en e"ist on the earth plane at all. The dream state escapism and gi$ing up
our personal power are all themes o! the mysterious -.th house. 6ne demands we pay
attention to the most mundane and aggra$ating details in li!e the other is tempting us to
simply tune out !rom this unpleasantness at all costs.

The serpent is released in the --th house as occurred or point !or both the si"th and -.
houses.

The deeper meaning here is that the --th house is one o! sel!5willed e!!ort and wor2
toward a purpose where our indi$idual personal power is not important. The --th house
nights the si"th house ser$ice with the -.th house o! surrendering our ego.
