Orchid Whitestone, the delicate and touchy, mundane astrological researcher, author of Day-By-Day Fly-By-Nights, who assays a humorous light on mundane aspects in astrology, though she takes it seriously, charting the course of nations, other entities and events, but adding whimsey and humor. She's received a lot of attention for her comic touch, especially as to the chapter in her book titled "Loosening The Asteroid Belt" in response to which many critics were not friendly. Orchid's rustic cousin Orris Root, CEO of the fragrances, mouth products and toothpaste Root family visits her from time to time as does her cousins Burdock Root, who helps her file, and Seaflower Whitestone. Orchid invested in Orris' start up company, Brushing through the Stars. Her cousin Valerian Root who has a dominant Saturn in his birth chart, tends to stay away. Another cousin, the Dutch Venus Von de Fly-Paper, of the fragrant stationery company, reneged on publishing Orchid's book, arguing, quite rightly, that one does not expect fragrance from the mundane. Venus had always questioned Orchid's true commitment to paper and the printed word, or anything else, once Orchid announced she was dedicating herself to the mundane. There are also visits from their distant Dutch aunt, Twerpy Von Twerple, and others, including clients of Orchid's. Orchid, herself, in one of her epiphanies (It might have come on the first day of Christmas) began to advocate on behalf of materialism. Once Orchid owned something, it was hers to keep, she claimed, notwithstanding her advocacy of following the high spiritual path. Orchid was a thinker. Let it not be misunderstood. Orchid Whitestone's essays are serious, especially as one delves more deeply into the intensities raised by Pluto and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and other planets in aspect over the world stage in these years, generating change for all, slowly but surely including for our cultures. It is designed to be. Mundane astrology refers to the charting of entities and events as distinct from an individual's astrology. A nation's acknowledged time and date of birth gives it a birth chart, as does a business of any size, a world event, an incident and any occasion. When an event, even a catastrophe or a cataclysm, occurs relative to a nation, its time and date of occurrence is noted and a mundane chart can be erected for it against which astrologers will interpret the dynamic pulses called aspects in challenge at the time. Mundane charts are erected for events happening to world leaders, public persons, financial collapses, discoveries, incidents occurring to high profile figures, noteworthy births and deaths, and any other incident of note. In fact, history tells us that the original practice of charting astrological events was mundane, not individual, astrology, for only Kings, Queens and nations, could afford astrologers. Astrologers can select an individual's chart whose planet positions and aspects may make strong correlations to a nation's birth chart, and predict a highly successful political career for the individual, or some other type of public career due to the complementary nature of charts, and also in view of highly complementary aspects within the chart, from transiting planets always in movement in the sky. This is an ancient, serious and sacred art. Much is happening in planetary transits, especially with the slower moving planets, that produce steady vibrational pressure in concerted areas of the sky and make tension filled aspects to people, and entities, as revealed in their birth charts. These are called 90 degree (Square) and 180 degree (Opposition) tensions. In astrology, it is asserted that if one knows what is happening above them, they may better be able to manage themselves and their environment when intense periods arrive. "Orchid Said It at the Time" is intended to be a light training tool with some humor included
