Anyway, after reading about Yods I reverted back to my own natal chart and discovered I appear to have two:

One with the Moon as the apex planet (quincunx Pluto, quincunx Neptune, with Neptune sextile Pluto). And one with Mercury as the apex planet (quincunx Mars, and quincunx Chiron, with Chiron sextile Mars).

I just wanted to know if there is any significance of having two Yods in a chart?

My Moon Yod is pointing to the seventh house (Moon is in 7th house), and I thought that this Yod would mean relationships would be significant in my life, and perhaps because of the Neptune and Pluto aspects...unconventional or taboo??

As for the Mercury Yod, that's pointing to the first house, as that is where Mercury is. I am not exactly sure what this Yod would mean.

So I was just wondering if someone could clarify whether I do have these two Yods in my chart, and whether my interpretation of the Moon Yod is correct, and whether anyone has any idea about the meaning of the Mercury Yod.

Thanks!

PART A
1 - Moon, with Pluto/Neptune base
2 - Neptune, with Moon/Saturn retrograde base

PART B
The main planet it is pointing to is important. That is you want to see look further into your moon. For example, Moon in Gemini is peregrine, but what's in Cancer - where Moon is ruler? Cancer is in your 8th house with Chiron - this could mean healing others in your relationships. Actually, I would consider your 6th, 7th and 8th house.

Likewise, for the second yod. There are a lot of loose conjunctions and aspects for example with Uranus and Pluto. You also want to research the base of the yod. That's what will get you closer to the fingers of 'God.'

PART C
Here are the Sabian symbols for each point.
Moon Gemini 16 38
PHASE 77 (GEMINI 17°): THE HEAD OF A ROBUST YOUTH CHANGES INTO THAT OF A MATURE THINKER.

KEYNOTE: The transformation of physical vitality into the power to build concepts and intellectual formulations through which knowledge can be transferred.

While in the preceding symbol we see the explosive release of impulses generated by a new realization of what is right and wrong - the "woman" way controlled by feelings - now we have a picture of a process of quiet and steady metamorphosis of biological energy into mind-power, which can be seen symbolically as the "man" way. The symbolism may seem old-fashioned today, but the two contrasting approaches to communication of new experiences remain evident, however one wishes to symbolize them.

This second stage of the sixteenth sequence, as is nearly always the case, presents a contrast with the first stage. What we see pictured is the transformation of emotions into mind, of instincts into thoughts - a process of MENTAL METAMORPHOSIS.

Neptune Capricorn 14 03
PHASE 285 (CAPRICORN 15°): IN A HOSPITAL, THE CHILDREN'S WARD IS FILLED WITH TOYS.

KEYNOTE: The responsibility of society to ensure the welfare and total health of the new generation.

The socio-cultural process must look to the future as well as to the past. It has created conditions which may harm the children who will carry forward its work, and it must try to repair these negative conditions through love as well as through physical care. In personal life, the individual should take great care of his fresh intuitions and his dreams of future growth. They are often fragile developments which the pressures of everyday life can easily distort or destroy.

This is the last stage of Scene Nineteen, which began with a powerful claim for socio-political power. The exercise of such a power can indeed produce social conditions which endanger the healthy and spiritual unfoldment of a community, and especially of its children. There is therefore constant need for TENDER CARE as well as skill to neutralize the destructive tensions of social living.

I'm unsure if the asteroid yods are as significant? Did you ask IQ - it'd be nice to get his input.

BTW, where do your yods point to? If you give me the sign and the degrees I will post the Sabian Symbol if you like.

PS, Really liked your post back on America in AA - made me smile!
