In astrology, the antiscion (pl. antiscia) is considered to be the mirror image, or shadow, of a planet based upon a line of reference, which is the axis of 0 Cancer/0 Capricorn (the position of the sun at the solstices). These antiscia are also known as the "solstice points".

For example, the corresponding antiscia sign placements are as follows:-

* Aries antiscia is Virgo and vice versa.
* Taurus antiscia is Leo and vice versa.
* Gemini antiscia is Cancer and vice versa.
* Libra antiscia is Pisces and vice versa.
* Scorpio antiscia is Aquarius and vice versa.
* Sagittarius antiscia is Capricorn and vice versa.

A planet's antiscion is the shadow of that planet. A planet can receive a transit, progression, or direction from another planet, and this is said to bring about covert kinds of events--backroom meetings, secret doings, discreet happenings.

In order to calculate an antisca point, one must take the degree of the planet that he wants to locate the antiscia for and subtract it from 30 degrees. For example, if a person's sun is 10 degrees 51 minutes Aquarius then his antiscia will be as follows:-

I found that I have the following transit

Transiting Retro Neptune in 24'41 Aquarius
conjunct Antiscia Sun in 24'39 Aquarius

so what does this mean in regards to backroom meetings,secret doings,discreet happenings?

also

I became a member of Spiritual Life Center interfaith unity church on May 30th of this year.

when

transiting Retro Neptune in 26'28 Aquarius
transiting Retro Jupiter in 26'38 Aquarius

conjunct

Natal Mars in 25'54 Aquarius
Antiscia Sun in 24'39 Aquarius

is a 2 degree orb valid for transits,natal?

the transits do seem to fit with my joining the church

Antiscia is very interesting

I already have my hands full with Right Ascension and Declination Longitude Equivalent.

there is so much mystery and "discreet happenings" between us and involving us that it's hard to put into words. but that is very interesting! hope i calculated it right.

you have to subtract the degrees of your natal from 30 degrees

for instance if

my Sun is in 5'20 Scorpio

29'60
5'20

24'40 Aquarius

i'm not sure what 29'60 degrees is about?

are you saying it doesn't go both ways or that my initial calculation was wrong?

29 degrees 60 minutes
minus 10 degrees 51 minutes Aquarius
--------------------------------------
equals 19 degrees 09 minutes Scorpio

in your case

30'00
- 15'00
= 15'00

so your antiscia Sun is 15'00 Scorpio

okay calculation:

29'60
-15'05
_______
14'55 scorpio.

our comp AC is 14'29 and his midpoints are both 14 something. so that is pretty cool!

I have found Solstice Points to be almost scary in terms of the connections. Way deeper and more of them than in traditional astrological synastry in my case.

Here is a great thread on them:

To find solstice points, aka antiscia and contrascia:

1) Enter data at astro.com
2) Choose "Munich Rhythm Method" for Chart Drawing Style
3) Click on Additonal PDF tables
4) Scroll down and there they are. The first column is the contrascia (opposing the antiscia) and the second column is the antiscia.

Is that a riddle?

Let's see...

Antiscia of my Jupiter 13.58° Virgo
Transiting Jupiter 13.50° Virgo

Progressions:
Progressed ASC (rectified) 9.10° Virgo
Antiscia of pr Jupiter 8.15° Virgo
