Soul Connections – Draconic Horoscope
Everybody carries within not only the story
of one’s own life, but also of many other lives that are mutually and
unconsciously intertwined. Draconic horoscope is one of those horoscopes that
gives the secret depiction of the Soul, describes connections with people we
know from previous lives, showing that our feelings are not exclusively ours at
all…
We all have somebody we love, with whom we
are “close”, who we feel deeply and in whom we recognize something of our own…
My first meeting with Josipa Lisac occurred couple of months ago, in November
2011, when she had a concert in my hometown. Even before I used to love her,
listen to her music, watch her on TV, but the moment when I stood only couple
of meters from her awakened something new… That evening I felt the peace, silence, love, “secret”… I felt –
being one with her!
Her strength comes from recognition that
somebody understands and loves her, and in the center of her professional and
private life there is the eternal love for Karlo Metikoš, who wrote dozens of
cult songs like “I am crazy today”, “Bed of tears”, “Storm”..., the album “Diary
of one love”. Karlo is love of her life. Although they are not together
physically any more, they never parted. Their love continues in a different
spiritual dimension. Josipa lives like that and she is happy to exist in the
spirit of that love. She is happy to still be able to receive love and to give
love…
Josipa and Karlo loved each other. Nothing
bound them – no marriage, no interests, no legacy, no children… They shared a
passion – the music. His death was painful, but she moved on. She says that she
is still in love with him very much and that death cannot take away what she
has felt for 21 years. “Do people love
each other only if they can touch and watch each other? Can feelings disappear
if something unexpected occurs on that road? Do feelings, pictures, events and
said words die and leave? No, they were said to me, I heard them and felt them
and I am still feeling them”, says Josipa Lisac.
At the fifteenth anniversary of his death,
Josipa wrote Karlo a letter and published it on DVD. In that letter she told
him how she was, what she did, how difficult his passing was for her and how
their friends were coping… In one part she described the death: “I met her, she is young and beautiful. Two
of us are good, for she has the keys to my apartment.” That touched
people’s hearts. Nobody perceived it as pathetic. “I believe Karlo hears me, follows me, leads me… I am alone, but I am
not lonely. I am an excellent friend to myself”, said Josipa.
At the twentieth anniversary of Karlo’s
death (December 10, 2011), Josipa emphasizes that it is difficult for her to
comprehend that 20 years have passed since he died, but adds quickly “Years are not important, time is not important,
love is important”. After Karlo, nobody took his place. She is alone
because she wants it that way. In her opinion, the woman radiates, sends
certain energy when she looks for somebody, and she simply does not send any
signals of wanting, needing, looking for somebody, because, as she puts it –
she has it all… “I do not know, love is a
secret and one has to find it by oneself. There are many beautiful words
describing it, but these are just people talking, and love needs to be lived”.
“Silent” communication at 29º
Many times she “touched” my Soul that
night, filled me with light and, as I already have said at the beginning, with
silence, love, “secret”… I felt her concert and her love story as a lecture on
love that the Universe wanted to give me through her… Through her, the Universe
is reminding me that love is – “secret”!
If I tell you that our communication that evening went through 29º
(invisibility, secret, something both of us waited for a long time...) of
Capricorn (also a kind of waiting, maturity, patience...), the position of
Mercury (words), the ruler of her 3rd house (what she says, her words), but
also the position of the cusp of my 3rd house. Is this “silent”, “invisible”
dialogue between us now – “visible”?
The Earth looks for the Moon, the Moon
looks for the Earth...
Comparison of two natal horoscopes reveals
the interaction between persons at different levels of life, resulting in a
certain destiny at the objective level. But, I decided to present my
relationship with Josipa Lisac from the point of view of draconic astrology…
Draconic horoscope is a very intimate
horoscope for everyone. It is actually a lunar horoscope, a horoscope of our
ethereal being… A person carries within all memories of all earthly events, so
he/she is primarily represented by geocentric natal horoscope. Still, there is
an aura around each person. Like the Moon revolving around the Earth, the
ethereal being envelops each person. That is why we all have the horoscope of ethereal being – the
draconic horoscope. Draconic Zodiac represents our memory of all that happened
before this life… The Moon is the field of the death, the end of life, and all
souls are there, for all souls leave to be in ethereal universe. When talking
about a relationship, we should know that we are one being, the Earth and the
Moon – the physical-ethereal being. That is the secret of life – the Earth seeks the Moon, the Moon seeks the
Earth to live their unity!
If there is the combination of natal (the
Earth) and draconic (the Moon) horoscope of two persons – those persons know
each other from previous lives… It is possible that the energy is not dense
enough, so there is no materialization, but the recognition always exist –
either positive or negative one… Every harmonic aspect between draconic and
geocentric (natal) horoscope represents the channel through which the person receives the messages with ease… Conjunctions of natal planet
of one person with draconic planet of the other person are especially
important, for they depict direct unification of two parts of Being!
In every relationship it is important to
assess which is the main thread (the main aspect), i.e. the main channel
through which the relationship is manifested. It is usually represented by 1-2
aspects, and it shows what gives or takes the energy from the relationship.
The Jupiter is the ruler of Josipa’s 5th
house (love) and it is positioned in 7th house (relationship) in Aquarius – it
is known that she was never married to Karlo, which is depiction of Aquarius at
the cusp of 7th house. Since this conjunction is at the star Rotanev in the
constellation of Delphinus, this is also depiction of the far West, of America,
to which both Karlo and Josipa were bound (they even lived and worked there for
some time). This star represents the story of romantic loves, which theirs
certainly was…
My draconic Moon is at Josipa’s natal Jupiter. Since my
natal Mercury, which is at the same time the dispositor of my Asc ruler (me)
and the dispositor of rulers of my 5th and 12th houses (houses important from
the point of view of previous life) and finally here the ruler of my draconic
Asc, is positioned at the same spot as my draconic Moon – and all that on Josipa’s
natal Jupiter (her love), then I perceive this love of Josipa and Karlo as one
of my loves from the previous life! I recognize myself in this story, I feel it
as something of mine, and I have the need to write something about this eternal
love (my natal Mercury is the portal through which conjunction of my draconic
Moon and her natal Jupiter is expressed). Since it all happens in Aquarius, the
sign of Neptune’s exaltation, also present is the “secret”, of which Josipa
reminds me… On the other hand, her Jupiter here is the portal for my draconic
Moon, and since my Jupiter is at the MC, I go public with this story, which
certainly contains the “secret”, because in my Jupiter the Venus from Pisces
“lives”…
Very interesting is the conjunction of my
draconic Venus with her natal Neptune in the sign of Libra (relationships), at
the degree of love (17º)! My natal Venus is in Pisces and squaring the Neptune,
which clearly implies the presence of the “secret”, magic and the need to go
somewhere far away to have love… So, I am made of Venus and Neptune, I know all
about it, and meeting Josipa only reminded
me of all that, reminded me of the fate in love, silence, peace, “secret”, for
only in that way I reach the magic… Since my draconic Venus is in Libra and
in trine with her Jupiter (ruler of 5th house – her love) in 7th house, and
since all this happens across 17º (love), and since her Jupiter (abroad), being
the portal, contains the trine with Neptune (faraway, secret) – again I have
depiction of the love story that is being realized somewhere faraway, and that
contains the “secret” within… My draconic Venus at her natal Neptune, with that
Neptune carrying the trine with Jupiter (Karlo), “creates” love out of their
love (17º Libra)!
If we take a look at her draconic
horoscope, we see her draconic Jupiter (natal ruler of her 5th house – love)
right at my natal Sun! It is interesting that this “touch” happens right at the
beginning of the constellation Delphinus, emphasizing again the presence of the
romantic love which requires going to the West, beyond pillars of Heracles… The
Sun is always the essential signifier of a male, and since it is “touched” by
her draconic Jupiter (the ruler of her natal 5th house – love), and my natal
Jupiter contains the Venus from Pisces, then Josipa could bring me the luck
(Jupiter) in the field of relationships... Further on, her draconic Sun, the
ruler of the draconic Ascendant and the natal Ascendant (herself) came to my
natal Mercury, and again the star Rotanev from the constellation of Delphinus
was “touched”, telling about romantic love… Since her draconic Sun has the same
position as my natal Mercury (which represents me, for Mercury is the final
dispositor in my chart, but also the dispositor of rulers of my 5th – love and my
12th house – past life), this is another indicator that Josipa brings love into
my life, and some pastlife love, with which I am bound… If I also add that the
cusp of her draconic 5th house (love) is at 22º Scorpio, exactly at my natal
Asc at 21º Scorpio – then this is also an indicator… Her draconic Venus is in
exact sextile with my natal Uranus, and in my chart there is applicative trine
of Venus and Uranus. Uranus is at my Ascendant, so this may indicate that I
might, just like Josipa, have one “uranian” love story. Love is the freedom,
isn’t it? Her draconic Neptune is in trine with my natal Sun, and since the
exalted Venus from Pisces “lives” within my Neptune, at the star Achernar, this
is another depiction of faraway love that holds a “secret”… Also, Achernar
speaks about the person who is very deep, very spiritual, who went thrught some
his own „storm“, which made him to find the light at the end of tunnel.
We may wonder what would two draconian
horoscopes tell? Comparison of two draconian charts might give
information on relationships that existed between persons in previous
incarnations. It represents memories now, and it need not manifest… Often,
there are same things we like, causing vibrating at the same level, just as an
appendix to a story… It is interesting that Josipa and I “touch” here again, at
the star Rotanev from constellation of Delphinus – her draconic Sun (17º
Aquarius) conjuncts my draconic Moon (16º Aquarius)! If I tell you that Karlo,
her eternal love had his natal Sun at 18º Aquarius – then it is the place where
we love same things…
“Karlo was wonderful man, everybody loved
him. I watched it day after day. In the age of Mat Collins, women were crazy
about him. He loved people, adored and respected women, he had that social
skill and knew how to present himself. He led me through the life and I loved
it very much, for I think it is beautiful for a man to take woman’s hand and
lead her, if they both respect each other. He took care of everything, he made
me the way I am so I am able to go on strong.”

hometown, Serbia
“Diary of one Love” and 27º Pisces
“It is interesting that all things important in Karlo’s
and my life occurred in February. We celebrated our private holiday of love on
February 6, instead February 14, like the rest of the world, for we met on that
day in 1971 and we are together since then. Then, Karlo Metikoš was born on
February 8, I was born on February 14, and on February 28 “Diary of Love” was
born. Both of us are Aquarius, but the “Diary” is Pisces – gentler, not
rebellious like Aquarius. Some things simply happen. This is not a miracle. Or
maybe it is, because that album exists and stands for 40 years…”
(Josipa Lisac)
“I was overwhelmed by her singing, and the way she
behaved… Then I fell in love head over heels with her… We went from Petrinja to
Zagreb by bus, I sat beside her and emitted positive vibrations and we got to
know each other a bit. Josipa later admitted that as a girl, she went to see
where I live, for she was erroneously told I lived in Moše Pijade Street. She
took the tramway and looked at somebody’s window believing it was mine! The
first record Josipa bought was – the record of Matt Collins! Destiny… Then
Josipa told me: “Why don’t you make an album for me?!” We went to Russia, and
for two years I worked on our first album – it was really made with lot of love
and enthusiasm. Actually, we made that album for us… The first song I wrote was
“Happiness”, although it was not the
first song on album…”
(Karlo Metikoš)
Whether because “I met her” in my dreams
recently, or because this year, 2013, she celebrates 40 years since her first album
(“Diary of one Love”) made by her partner, her great love –
Karlo Metikoš, or because of my “strong connection” with her (you can read more
on that in my article “Soul
Connections – Draconic Horoscope”), whatever it may be… but exactly one
year later here I am, writing with love about Josipa Lisac, the woman whose
other name is – Love!
27º Pisces – Light and Love
One of the most beautiful degrees in Zodiac
is the spot where Venus (love) is exalted.
It is 27º Pisces! At that spot everything is beautiful, there is lot of Light,
there are Angels too, for that is the last, 72nd pentad in Zodiac, the Angel
pentad, ruled by the Sun (Light). And so, in those last 5 degrees of Zodiac
(25º – 30º Pisces) there is the combination of Venus and Sun, which is – Love...
Although looking at Jospia’s chart we see nothing at 27º Pisces, this degree is
very important in this woman’s life and that is the primary theme of this
article.
Two points
There are two points within a person
through which one receives Light and messages, information… One point is prenatal eclipse, and the other is postnatal eclipse. Eclipses represent
the way from one world to another, and it is important for everybody to have
strong favorable connection (favorable aspect) between those two eclipses, i.e.
planets ruling them, for then the person becomes a very good channel between
the Heavens (postnatal eclipse) and the Earth’s Core (prenatal eclipse).
Postnatal eclipse at 27º Pisces
Exactly at 27º Pisces, the first eclipse after Josipa’s birth happened. It was
solar eclipse on March 18, 1950, the
solar eclipse always depicting the start of something new (Moon-Sun conjunction
close to North Node)...
Since postnatal eclipse represents the
channel for the more subtle level of the being, i.e. for the light level of
existence (Angels), we may say that 27º Pisces is a perfect spot for there is a lot of Love and Light here!
This eclipse is in sextile with Josipa’s Moon (emotions, masses, people) at 27º
Capricorn, but also with the Mercury (message, words) with 29º Capricorn. Also,
it is in sextile with retrograde Venus at 3º Aquarius, so her purpose in this
life is to give masses the message of
love, to give her emotions she keeps for years (Capricorn has a need to
keep things)... It is her goal, her road leading… Whomever listened to Josipa,
whether on TV or at concerts, live, could hear her speaking only of love,
Karlo, that she was still in love with him (although he is not present
physically), that he was still in her thoughts and that even then, many years
after his death, he was still her strength, her purpose...
Karlo’s Venus at 25º Pisces
Still, 27º Pisces in Josipa’s chart was
“revived” the moment she met Karlo, for this man has put his Venus (music,
love) from 25º Pisces to this spot. This Venus is in the part of Zodiac where
Love and Light live (25º – 30º Pisces). The conjunction is not exact, but still
pretty strong. Karlo’s Venus is exalted, but also opposing the Neptune, so it
is no wonder he fell head over heels in love with Josipa, since he is inclined
to love elation, wandering, unfulfilled expectations… “I was already tired, but then I met Jospia and she brought me the light…”
- said Karlo.
However, Karlo’s Venus at 25º Pisces is the
spot resolving the Yod configuration where Neptune (illusion) is the fulcrum of
Yod, with Mercury in quincunx on one side and Mars/Saturn conjunction on the
other. So, the Venus here is the spot we call “Boomerang“, so through the music, Light and Love, he overcomes all
his problems. In other words, Josipa was really the one who brought the Light
and Love (since her postnatal eclipse “touched” his Venus). They needed each
other undoubtedly… Since the Venus is the dispositor
of both prenatal (3º Taurus) and
postantal eclipse (3º Libra) in Karlo’s chart, it is certainly of a great
importance…
“Diary of one Love” and 27º Pisces
Since the time of birth of Karlo Metikoš is
not known, I made his sun sign horoscope and progressed it for the day when the
“Diary of one Love” saw the light of the day (February 28, 1973). Importance of 27º Pisces for those two people
and their love story is further emphasized by the position of Karlo’s direct
Mercury (words) at 27º Pisces!!!
Finally, transit Mercury (words) was at 27º
Pisces on that day, really emphasizing the Love and the Light this album was
made with… Even now, while I am writing this article, the Mercury (writing)
crosses 27º Pisces. There are no coincidences…
Retrograde Venus
It is no wonder for someone with retrograde
natal Venus like Jospia (Venus at 3º Aquarius) to be very much connected to
some love from before, very possibly the love from previous life (since her
retrograde Venus carries within the Neptune from Libra as the last Moon’s
conjunction – memory from previous life, while the first conjunction of the
Moon is with Mercury, “colored” by the retrograde Venus). It is certain that
Jospia meets her past life love in this life as well. That is why she enjoys solitude after Karlo’s death and emphasizes that
she is happy and has no need to look for new love – when she already has it...
Isn’t all this depiction of retrograde Venus?! Josipa lives in the past,
(retrograde), she has stopped there... She usually says that Karlo was not her
husband, spouse, but her love. Josipa lives in accordance with the needs of her
retrograde Venus in Aquarius... In fact, she speaks of love in a real sense of
that word, since real love is free, unbounded, does not love form, must contain
the “secret” and sends the message that we all have to find out what the
“secret” is, adding that it is the most beautiful and most wondrous in the
story of love…
Prenatal eclipse
This retrograde Venus of Josipa is also interesting for
being the ruler of her prenatal eclipse at 28º Libra from October 21, 1949. For a person to be a good channel between the
Heavens (postnatal eclipse) and the Earth’s Core (prenatal eclipse) – it is
necessary to have those two eclipses, the planets ruling them – somehow
connected, i.e. connected by beneficial aspects. Josipa is such a case and she really lives the Heavens on Earth. Namely, the Venus (dispositor of prenatal
eclipse) turned direct couple of days after her birth (February 21, 1950), and
went to meet Jupiter on April 4, 1950 (the ruler of postnatal eclipse at 27º
Pisces), at the degree where my postnatal
eclipse is (purpose, mission) – at 27º Aquarius! It is not difficult to
conclude why I write again about this eternal, immortal love story… , and why
am I so much inspired by anything related to Josipa. I see the purpose there…
In the year she met Karlo, Josipa’s
directive Moon (moves 1º for 1 year) had conjunction with Karlo’s natal Sun at
18º Aquarius, which is usually one of required indicators for a relationship to
start (combination Sun-Moon). But here, it is very important that her secondary
Moon (emotions) was at 29º Libra, i.e. it
just had crossed her prenatal eclipse. That was “the sign along the road”…
The Moon always carries within some memory
of something from before, and this time of something from the previous life
(prenatal eclipse). Prenatal eclipse by
itself is the secret, because it is something that was before one’s birth,
there is darkness there, but also the memory (Moon) always exist… Josipa
tells that she simply waited for Karlo to come, and that she knew, felt that
one of those days he would appear… It happened like that… She even emphasizes
that before Karlo men did not approach her, and with a smile she adds: “Like there was a word “KARLO” written on
my forehead!”
The first song on the album “Diary of a
Love” is “Abouth a Youth”, and while
I write this article I remember lines from this song – “... Sometimes
a beautiful flower springs up in the dark…”
Retrograde Venus in Capricorn – December
21, 2013
Since Josipa Lisac does not issue albums often,
the period of retrograde Venus that begins on December 21, 2013 might be
interesting for her. Namely, the Venus (music) will make a turn from 28º
Capricorn 59’, touching Josipa’s Moon/Mercury conjunction and making a nice
sextile at 27º Pisces, with the spot of Josipa’s postnatal eclipse (purpose,
mission...). Will Josipa make us happy with some new album remains to be seen,
but the period of retrograde Venus might be inspirational for this unique
woman. Until then, we shall enjoy her last album published in 2009, with one of
the most famous songs being – “A Thousand
Reasons for Love”…
Love is silence
As Josipa’s secondary Venus approaches 13º
Pisces, the degree that is being approached by my secondary Sun (the ruler of
my 9th house – the purpose), and also the degree of my prenatal eclipse – I
conclude yet again that where the Venus (love) is exalted (the sign of Pisces)
there is no need for words (13º Pisces – the fall of Mercury)... Here one only
feels, one does not think, words are not needed here… Here one is silently
joyful… Here one does not speak aloud of love, but let the love speak…
For Karlo...
“You do not need to walk with me to close to me. Music is
enough, it makes them happy. It is their light. When life lets them down, they
recognize the music as their raft. „No need to explain them anything, let alone
love… You are me. I am you. You and I are we. We are me. And you are we.”
(Josipa Lisac)
8th February 2017, Athens (Greece),
IAM was born, without planning..., all just came to me, easy ...
It was 77 birthday of Karlo Metikoš. IAM
(Infinity Astrological Magazine) and Karlo Metikoš have the same Sun, 19º
Aquarius. They both were born on 8th February. Looking forward for the upcoming solar eclipse
at 18 º Leo, on 11 August 2018. IAM’s draconic Venus is a 29
º Libra (the place of Josipa’s prenatal eclipse), and Uranus will „hit“
29 º Libra, two more times...
We are all Aquarius: Josipa, Karlo, IAM & Me...
