The stage is dim and the audience hushed as three participants

take their places on the Panel. One by one, the spotlight falls
on: (1) Panelist Number One: She is the most famous
homemaker in the world with her own TV show, magazine, and
over a dozen books to her name; (2) Panelist Number Two: He
is a beloved astronaut admired by the whole world for his
bravery and courage in saving his crew on a half-million mile
journey through space in a crippled ship; and (3) Panelist
Number Three: He was a brilliant French psychologist and
statistician who shocked the scientific establishment with his
daring theory correlating planetary positions at birth with
specific professions. These three participants in the Panel of
Life have each made significant contributions to humanity. Who
are these three amazing , but very different people and what
common bond do they share? Contestant number one, Martha
Stewart; contestant number two, Commander James Lovell; and
contestant number three, Dr. Michel Gauquelin all have one
thing in common: All three have a rare and powerful
astrological configuration called a Yod.

For those of you who are not familiar with the Yod
configuration, it is an isosceles triangle formed by two planets
sextile each other and both quincunx a third, fulcrum planet.
Like the Grand Cross, the Yod can be said to be one of the most
challenging configurations that can occur in a horoscope. Just
as a person with a Grand Cross can feel like they are always up
on the cross in life, so too is a person with a Yod crossed, in
particular, star-crossed by the Finger of Fate, for the Yod is also
referred to as the Finger of God.

Are you driven by forces that seem beyond your control? Do

you feel that you have a great reservoir of talent that is just
within reach? Do you feel certain that you have a special
purpose in life? You may be experiencing the power of the
Yod. If you have one, it will likely be the dominating factor in
your chart because the Yod takes on a life of its own. Yod
Bearers are driven people, haunted by the Finger of Fate to find
the special purpose in life for which they have been chosen. A
Yod Bearers search for his or her special purpose is like a quest
for a personal Holy Grail. How does the Yod work?

THE MECHANICS OF THE YOD

There is a four-way exchange of energy involved in the Yod

configuration:
 1. The Yod Fulcrum (or Foot planet) shoots energy out
through the double quincunx to planets 1 and 2, trying to
find its sea legs [earth legs] or a leg to stand on.
2. The sextile from planet 1 to planet 2 forms the base of
the Yod, trying to stabilize the configuration.
3. The individual quincunx energy flowing from planets 1
and 2 back to the Yod Fulcrum talk back, providing
feedback; and
4. The point directly opposite the Yod Fulcrum called the
Activation Point, i.e., the Midpoint between the two Yod
sextiles, sets the Yod vibrating when it is activated by
transit, synastry or act of will. The Yod energy in the
Fulcrum (or Foot) planet is bound up in the world of form
and personality until the Activation Point triggers it into
action.

The Yod is a powerful circuit that puts intense pressure on the

Fulcrum, demanding release like an arrow shot from a bow (this
analogy comes from Joan Kelloggs book, The Yod: Its Esoteric
Meaning).
ANALYZING THE YOD

Analyzing the Yod involves: (1) consideration of the sign,

house position and dispositor of the Fulcrum planet; (2) the
same for the two sextile planets; (3) aspects from any other
planets to the three Yod planets; and (4) transits and
progressions to the three Yod planets and the Activation Point.
The quincunx (also called the inconjunction) is the main
component of the Yod and one of the keys to understanding it,
but the quincunx aspect is a trickster defying analysis by its very
nature. Wise and renowned astrologer, Alan Oken, says that,
Like Uranus, the effects of an inconjunction are the least
predictable of all the aspects. (p. 356, Soul-Centered
Astrology). The disruptive, capricious quincunx creates a great
deal of nervous energy that is focused on the Yod Fulcrum.
There is also an esoteric component to the Yod because it is by
its very nature a highly spiritual configuration with karmic
connotations. Thus, the Moons Nodes, which represent karma,
should also be part of the Yod analysis.

KEY THEMES OF THE YOD FULCRUM PLANET

The theme of the Yod is revealed by the Yod Fulcrum planets

zodiac sign. Each sign of the zodiac has a symbolic theme when
considered in the Yod context, as follows:

SUN Symbol of the life force and character. You are called
forth to take a leadership role as part of your lifes central
purpose.
CHOSEN TO LEAD

MOON Symbol of the mother, nurturing principles and

emotions. You are chosen to utilize the nurturing principle.

religion, pomp and circumstance, good fortune. Your purpose is
to expand horizons and bring abundance to the lives of those
around you.
CHOSEN TO EXPAND

responsibility, lessons, burdens, requirements, karmic
adjustment. Your lifes purpose involves principles of structure
and responsibility, shoring up foundations.

disruption, genius, brilliance. You are a revolutionary. You have
been chosen to turn your world upside down, challenging the
status quo and disrupting complacency.

CHARACTERISTICS OF YOD BEARERS

There are certain patterns that occur in the lives of Yod Bearers.
According to Karen Hamaker-Zondag, there is a see-saw effect
at work in their lives, a before/after phenomenon: the first half
of life is sometimes completely different from the second half of
life, as though there are two different people and two different
lives. Instability is common in the lives of Yod Bearers who
have not found their special purpose. If you have a Yod, you are
a talented person, but your talent may be hidden or blocked in
some way, especially during the first half of your life. Yod
Bearers can be abrasive and difficult to get along with, whether
they mean to be or not. This is because they are under constant
stress, driven by the need to find their special purpose in life.
Once they find it, they are likely to be tireless overachievers like
Martha Stewart, John Glenn and Pablo Picasso, who have Moon
Yods; the great Duke of Wellington, who had a Venus Yod;
James Lovell, who has a Saturn Yod; Karl Marx and General
Douglas MacArthur, who had Uranus Yods; and Michel
Gauquelin, who had a double Moon/Uranus Yod. The Yod
configuration undeniably affects the Yod Bearers relationships,
which leads to a very interesting phenomenon.

YOD BY ASSOCIATION: THE COLLATERAL YOD

EFFECT

If you have a close friend or family member with a Yod, YOU

MAY HAVE A YOD, TOO! This all-consuming configuration
has a tractor effect involving not only the Yod Bearer, but also
the people with whom she or he is closely associated. In other
words, the intense energy of the Yod acts like a magnet, drawing
others into its orb of influence. A good example of the
Collateral Yod effect is the relationship between the Queen of
England, Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and her son,
Crown Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales. Not only does
Prince Charles have a Yod, so do his two sons, as did their late
Mother, Princess Diana. When Prince Charles married Lady
Diana in the wedding of the century on July 29, 1981, it
activated both of their Yods like a time bomb. Dianas king-
maker Aquarius Jupiter Yod crossed swords with Charles
power-loving Scorpio Sun-Chiron Yod, setting the stage for the
marital battle of the century, as well as producing two Yod
Bearer baby Princes.

As head of the Royal Dynasty, Queen Elizabeth became a

Collateral Yod bearer whose symbolic Yod was activated by the
union of her Son with a female Yod Bearer. As the Charles and
Diana Yods engaged each other, Queen Elizabeth found herself
faced with greater and greater challenges, culminating in the
Annus Horribilis (Horrible Year). When Princess Diana
died, the Queens world again came crashing down upon her as
she was accused of being cold, lacking in maternal warmth and
out of touch. The Queen adapted to this situation, confronting
her detractors and facing them with courage and dignity. Her
strength of character and commitment to duty serve her well in
conquering her Collateral Yod challenges, and experiencing the
fulfillment of her own special purpose. Yod Bearers can be
difficult people and if you have a close personal relationship
with a Yod Bearer, you may also experience the effects of this
rare and powerful configuration. With four Yod Bearers in her
immediate family (Mother, Father, Brother and Sister), Sister
Ray can personally affirm the existence of this phenomenon! To
see how the Yod works, it is useful to study some famous Yod
Bearers.

FAMOUS YOD BEARERS: THE YOD IN ACTION

HONORARY MENTION: CHARLES & DIANA
MARTHA STEWART
JAMES LOVELL
MICHEL GAUQUELIN

Honorary Mention: Charles and Diana

Two of the most famous Yod Bearers in modern astrological
history whose extraordinary case deserves honorary mention are
Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. It is hard to think of
a better example of astrological incompatibility than Charles and
Diana with their crossed Yods and a plethora of other
psychological problems. Here we see the destructive power of
the Yod at work. It is as though they were both chosen to
destroy each other, and they did, Diana literally, and Charles,
socially and symbolically. For an in-depth discussion of this
relationship, please see Karen Hamaker-Zondags excellent
book, The Yod Book, which devotes an entire chapter to Diana,
Charles and Camilla (see Chapter 11). The complexities of the
Charles and Diana Yod interactions and its tragic consequences
are astrological legend, and will be discussed and analyzed for
years to come.

Queen of Homemaking: Martha Stewart Chosen to

Nurture
Martha Stewart has a Sagittarius Moon Yod in the second house
with a Taurus Saturn-Uranus leg in the seventh house and a
Cancer Mercury leg in the ninth house. She was born to nurture
and in many ways she has done a superlative job. With the Sun
quintile the Saturn-Uranus leg of her Moon Yod, she is intensely
creative, aggressively marketing herself (Sun) into a one-woman
business empire (Moon, Mother, the feminine archetype in the
second house of money trine Mars in Aries in the fifth house of
creativity). Queen of Homemaking, she resurrected the lost art
of housekeeping. Her bestselling book, Entertaining, sold
nearly as many copies as Julia Childs classic, Mastering the Art
of French Cooking.

A driven overachiever with Scorpio rising, this super-ambitious

Yod Bearer began racking up accomplishments at an early age.
After working her way through college as a model, she became a
Wall Street stock broker. In 1972, Martha discovered her talent
for decorating when she and her husband, Andy, bought an old
Connecticut farmhouse and renovated it with their bare hands.
She combined her culinary and decorating skills and opened up
a catering service, which eventually led to book contracts
through her husband. Immensely successful in the publishing
business, she has more than a dozen books to her name. With all
her success, she should be happy, but beneath Martha Stewarts
calm persona is an obsessive/compulsive control freak (Sun
conjunct Pluto, Saturn conjunct Uranus, Mars in Aries and
Venus in Virgo) who has been deeply wounded in some way
(Chiron conjunct Sun and Pluto). She is an expert at hiding the
secret turmoil behind her serene public persona. With the Moon
in Sagittarius opposite its ruler Jupiter in Gemini applying to her
Yod Activation Point, there is a compulsion to engage in
excessive behavior. Herein may lie the key to her suffering --
she is never satisfied. Hers is a restless soul. No matter how
many accomplishments she racks up, there is still something
missing, a Mt. Everest to climb in her psyche. She will always
be the poor girl from Nutley, New Jersey who will never have
enough. The Yod that hijacks her chart also wreaks havoc in her
personal life. Her mother, father, husband and daughter
certainly must have felt the collateral effects of Marthas Yod.

The Moon Yod Fulcrum is in the second house of money.

Martha is particularly vulnerable here, because she is intently
focused on making money, lots of it, to the point of obsession.
The Moon in Sagittarius is opposite its ruler, Jupiter, planet of
excess and abundance. It is afflicted with only a trine to Mars to
provide positive reinforcement. Headstrong to a fault, Martha,
the ultimate control freak, seems out of control when it comes to
money, as was painfully evident in her 2004 court case.
Martha Stewart is trapped in a vicious cycle of endless conquest
and overachievement. Certainly, some of her suffering results
from being a driven Yod Bearer overachiever, which results in
an overbearing personality. Martha Stewarts North Node is
conjunct Neptune in Virgo, which is trine the Saturn-Uranus leg
of her Moon Yod. Regardless of the state of her personal life, or
whether she has a difficult personality, she has created great
good karma with her resurrection of the lost arts of
homemaking, teaching (Saturn) and inspiring (Neptune) other
women (Venus in Virgo, the same sign as Neptune and the North
Node) how to nurture (Moon) their homemaking skills. Martha
has nurtured homemakers everywhere, encouraging women (and
men) to take pride in their homes and cultivate their culinary
skills. It is regrettable and seems unfair that a woman who has
inspired so many seems to have so little enjoyment of the
rewards she has reaped. May her soul ultimately find
satisfaction and joy in all that she has achieved.

Astronaut James Lovell Chosen to Bear Responsibility

American astronaut, James Lovell, has an amazing Yod. James
Lovell has a twelfth house Saturn Yod in Sagittarius with one leg
extending to his fourth house Taurus Moon and the other to his
seventh house retrograde Pluto in Cancer. With mighty Saturn
(which is also the ruler of his Ascendant) as his Yod Fulcrum in
the mysterious twelfth house of secrets, the subconscious and
things that are hidden from you, this exceptional man has been
challenged like few others in the elite astronaut corps of which
he was a member from 1962 to 1973. Death and danger have
always been a part of his life. Lovells most famous brush with
death occurred during his command of the Apollo 13 mission to
the Moon. Apollo 13 blasted off from Earth on Saturday, April
11, 1970 at 1:13 p.m. (which is 13:13 in military time). Fifty-
five hours and fifty four minutes into the flight and the day after
the transiting Moon made a conjunction with the Pluto leg of his
Yod, one of the oxygen tanks on the space ship Odyssey
exploded, leaking precious oxygen into space and effectively
ending the mission. At first, the crew was only given a 10%
chance of making it home alive. Millions of people all over the
world held their breath for three and one-half grim days as
Commander Lovell and his crew raced back to earth in their
crippled space capsule. A heroic effort by the brave crew and
scores of brainstorming scientists at NASA resulted in a
triumphant ending to an otherwise harrowing event in the
history of space exploration.

Saturn is the planet of responsibility and also symbolizes the

Father. James Lovell has always had a great deal of
responsibility, beginning when he lost his Father in a motor
vehicle accident and had to take charge of his own fate before
even graduating from high school. He was separated from his
family following his Fathers death (Saturn), staying with
relatives while his Mother, Blanch Lovell, struggled to feed and
clothe her family. Her presence in her sons Yod is unmistakable
with the Saturn Fulcrum quincunx his fourth house (early life)
Moon (Mother). The Moon leg of Lovells Saturn Yod is
involved in a T-square with Mars in Aquarius in the second
house and retrograde Neptune in Leo in the eighth house.
Disappointment followed by triumph over adversity is a
recurring theme in the life of this remarkable man. Some
examples include his initial rejection (Saturn) by the Naval
Academy, only to be accepted the second time; his initial
rejection (Saturn again) by the Astronaut Corps Mercury
program, only to be accepted into the Gemini program (his Yod
Activation Point is in the sign Gemini); and the biggest
disappointment of his life -- being denied the experience of
walking on the Moon. After logging the most hours in space
(715 hours and five minutes per nasa.gov) of any man on Earth
prior to the Skylab program, this was a brutal disappointment.
Ironically, as backup Commander to the Apollo 11 team, he
might have been the first human being to walk on the Moon, but
this was denied (Saturn) him as the Finger of Fate pointed him
in a different direction.

With Saturn Quincunx Pluto (the other Yod leg), danger has
always been a part of Commander Lovells life. His powerful
Aries stellium of the Sun-Jupiter-Uranus is ruled by the planet of
war, Mars, which is in mutual reception with the planet of
disruption, Uranus, and opposite Neptune. Death and danger
have always been part of his life. Before he was an astronaut (a
very risky job indeed!), Lovell was a test pilot for four years,
one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet.

Although some Yod Bearers have difficulty finding their special

purpose, this was not the case for James Lovell. Even as a boy,
he was fascinated by rockets and rocket science. He was
destined for the stars. His North Node (good karma, karma we
control) is in Gemini, the sign of his Yod Activation Point, and
the name of the Astronaut Corps program that set him on his
path to destiny. His South Node is in far-seeking Sagittarius, the
same sign as his Saturn Yod Fulcrum -- he was destined to fulfill
his passion for rocket science in a very direct way, ultimately
being on the first team of astronauts to ride on the King of
Rockets, the Saturn V. Pursuing his interest in rockets and
rocket science would also eventually result in his being the only
human being to have traveled to and from the Moon twice.

Despite loss, delay, danger and close encounters with death,

James Lovell has repeatedly turned adversity into achievement.
His courage, intelligence and strength of character have served
him well in his odyssey through life. Even though he has nobly
fulfilled his special purpose, he is probably still seeking
mountains to climb and missions to accomplishment.

Scientist Michel Gauquelin Chosen to Revolutionize

Dr. Michel Gauquelin, the brilliant French psychologist and
statistician whose work revolutionized the way world viewed
astrology, was a Yod Bearer supreme with a double Yod that
involved all of his planets in a dramatic, fiery focus of
intellectual brilliance. He was a pioneer (Uranus Aries Yod)
who nurtured a theory (Moon Sagittarius Yod) that became his
lifes work. The two Yod Fulcrum planets, the Moon and
Uranus, are trine, working together to infuse passion (Sagittarius
Moon) into a pioneering endeavor (Aries) involving the ancient
art and science of astrology, which is governed by the planet
Uranus. Gauquelin, whose father was an astrologer, had a
lifelong interest in astrology and believed that statistics should
support its principles.

Assisted by his psychologist wife, Franoise Gauquelin, he set

out to critique the principles of astrology utilizing statistical
analysis. Together, the Gauquelins collected hundreds of
horoscopes and found that there was a correlation between the
position of the Moon, the personal planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn;
and certain professions. Quoting Michel Gauquelin: Around
1950, as we were preparing our critique of traditional astrology .
. . we found ourselves confronted, somewhat unwillingly, with a
strange result. In one of our research samples -- composed of
the birth dates of 576 members of the French Academy of
Medicine the frequency of the position of certain planets was
altogether unusual. . . What we had observed was that a large
number of great physicians were born when the planets Mars
and Saturn had just risen or culminated in the sky. . . . An
undeniable statistical correlation appeared between the rise and
culmination of these planets at the childs birth and his future
success as a doctor. (The Cosmic Clocks, p. 169, 170, citing
to Mthode pour tudier la Rpartition des Astres Dans le
Mouvement Diurne (Paris: 1957, M. and F. Gauquelin).

They further discovered that certain planets when rising or

culminating (the Gauquelin Sector) indicated a disposition
towards certain professions: Jupiter was found in the charts of
prominent military men, politicians, actors, journalists and
playwrights; Saturn in the charts of scientists and physicians;
the Moon in the charts of politicians and writers; and Mars in
the charts of scientists, physicians, athletes, military men and
businessmen. See p. 174 of The Cosmic Clocks. The latter
phenomenon was nicknamed, The Mars Effect, and caused a
storm of outrage in the scientific establishment. Like so many
pioneers, the Gauquelins were attacked for their innovation.

Gauquelins Uranus Yod in Aries is retrograde in the ninth house

of philosophy, higher learning, esoteric knowledge and
publishing (he published numerous papers and many books). It
is quincunx Neptune in analytical, intellectual Virgo and Virgos
ruler, Mercury, which is in the powerful, penetrating sign of
Scorpio. Mercury sextile Neptune means mind and soul are
working together toward a special purpose. Gauquelin
supremely fulfilled his special purpose: His North Node in
Gemini (which is ruled by Mercury, a Uranus Yod leg) and his
South Node in Sagittarius (the same sign as his Moon Yod
Fulcrum) put him squarely on the path of destiny to be a seeker
(Sagittarius) and communicator (Mercury) of higher knowledge.

The Uranus Yod Fulcrum trine the Moon Yod Fulcrum

foreshadows his scientist wife, who would play a big role in his
life and work. The nurturing qualities of the Moon express
themselves in the way the two Gauquelins nurtured each other,
putting up a united front against those in the scientific
community who did not agree with them. Jupiter and Venus are
in mutual reception in Michels chart, symbolizing the strong
bond of husband and wife in their unequivocal support of each
other and their lifes work (at least in the first half of their
lives). Jupiter is Michel and Venus is Franoise. They
collaborated for many years, but eventually sucuumbed to a
bitter divorce (Karen Hamaker-Zontags Yod see-saw effect at
work). Perhaps Franoise grew weary of sharing her life with a
double Yod Bearer, and got fed up with the Collateral Yod
effect!

Michels Moon Yod Fulcrum in Sagittarius is quincunx Mars in

Cancer, which is in the same sign as his Scorpio Suns ruler,
Pluto. The Moon quincunx Mars gave Michel an abundance of
nervous energy. Even though at nine degrees apart Mars and
Pluto are not close enough to form a conjunction, they still work
together, as they are in the same sign and are both disposited by
the Moon. This gives deep, penetrating insight, which is
reinforced by Pluto trine the Sun in Plutos natural sign of
Scorpio. Michel Gauquelin was a man of deep insight and
prodigious intellect whose revolutionary discoveries turned the
astrological and scientific communities upside down. Jupiter is
exactly opposite Mercury in Scorpio: The Gauquelins were
faced with abundant opposition to their theory, even to the point
that it is said that certain experiments were conducted with
fraudulent data to disprove the Mars Effect. There is a book
about this subject called The Tenacious Mars Effect by Kenneth
Irving and Suitbert Ertel, but unfortunately it is out of print.

Although Gauquelin is famous for the Mars Effect, he made

other contributions in the fields of astrology and planetary
heredity. Driven to seek the truth, he discovered some amazing
facts about the universe around us. A seeker supreme, Michel
Gauquelin funneled the power of his Yods to bring
enlightenment to the world. Gauquelin gave us a great gift with
his relentless, lifelong study of how the universe affects human
beings, calling attention to the scientific basis of astrological
theory. Ever the revolutionary, he said on page 233 in the
Conclusion to The Scientific Basis of Astrology: Myth or
Reality: . . . a concept of astrology is about to be reborn,
transfixed like a phoenix. Increasingly, a presentiment is
growing as to the extent to which our bodies, and therefore our
thoughts, are continually connected with the universe by
invisible threads. . . . The object, now and always, will be to
slowly piece together a little of the great secret which the
mysterious and everlasting circle of the universe contains.
 CONCLUSION

Yod Bearers are the seekers of the Zodiac. When you have a
Yod, you have mountains to climb. The Yod is indeed a
challenging aspect, but challenges are a gift to help us learn and
grow. To all Yod Bearers out there who are on the Yod Quest
(and your loved ones with their potential Collateral Yods), may
wisdom and understanding guide you and reward you in your
search to find and fulfill your special purpose.
