Birthchart Philippines (guessing that noon local time will do): Sun at 11 Cancer squares Neptune & Jupiter in Libra. The Jupiter is a stronger influence than Neptune as it also sextiles Venus in Leo and trines Uranus in Gemini–which 3 work well as a noble team. Jupiter is said to be exalted in Cancer, so the whole pattern shows much strength of character but some obstacles through Libra (which is the sense of reality but on negative side dishonesty, intrigue, treachery).
In terms of solar & lunar progression: Philippines progressed Sun earlier this year conjoined natal Moon, therefore need to express forcefully. Philippines progressed Moon is now near ~13 Aries, conjoining nothing. (Progression rate for Sun is 1 degree/year, for Moon is 13.18 degrees/year.) -r, mt. shasta
