the houses as actual houses

1st House: The house is a shining maze of mirrors. When you go inside, the only thing you see is you. Everything is reflective. While it's so warm and bright, you only get lost in yourself, your emotions wild with uncontrolled confusion and frustration. You feel like a confused child again.

2nd House: There's a lovely smell when you enter this house. It's warm and comforting, and there are cushions everywhere. You feel secure and safe in this place. However, the house is frozen in time. Things never change, and it's unsettling, yet comforting.

3rd House: The house is bustling with activity. You come inside, and you see a bunch of people chattering away like mad. You can see their minds buzzing around, and you can feel yours buzz also. The buzzing hurts your head, but the amount of activity in this house makes you feel energized.

4th House: The house is whatever you believe your home is. This home changes shape, to become your idea of home, your idea of nice comfort. It may be your childhood and beautiful, nostalgic past. Or maybe it's the arms of your friends. You can feel your heart being gently hugged, your emotions handled tenderly.

5th House: There is a big stage in this house. There are many bright lights blinding your eyes, but there is one big spotlight. There are luxuries everywhere you look, and everything shines radiantly. There's a shallowness, but a definite attractive shine to this house. Everything is tacky and gaudy, grabbing your attention.

6th House: Your head becomes dizzy entering this house. The walls are filled with tiny, detailed script, and there are endless to-do lists on the floors. You see people sweating, endlessly working on tedious tasks. You are greeted by a maid in this house, eager to serve your every need. You feel tired and worn out, yet productive in this house.

7th House: The house opens before you twist the elegant doorknob. Beautiful people automatically flood into the house to greet you, telling you great things about yourself that you never knew. You find yourself flirting with others, finding yourself through each person you talk to. The house is pure, elegant, and classically beautiful.

8th House: You fall into a deep, black hole. All the things that have ever scared you consumes you whole. You can feel yourself mesh and change with your deep thoughts. You are terrified. The House is abstract and sinister, but there is a strong, powerful aura to this house that could be used for the better.

9th House: You go inside the house, and you see numerous airplanes going to many destinations. There are books all over the floor wide open, full of valuable information. You can feel yourself being enlightened, and you have an urge to tell everybody everything you know. The house is obnoxiously messy, with an adventurous aura.

10th House: The house is completely transparent. This house represents the world. The trees are bare, and the winds are sharply cold and harsh, biting into your skin. There is a large fire in the clear house that promises warmth, but you feel yourself struggling to get closer, the coldness unbearable.

11th House: You go inside the house, and everything you've ever thought that wouldn't exist, exists. Aliens, hoverboards, medical breakthroughs, everything. Your eyes widen at the glory of the progress of humanity in this house. There's a professional, emotionless vibe to this house, almost like a museum.

12th House: The house has no definite shape. When you enter the house, you feel like you are swimming in a milky pool of stars, glowing with light. You can feel yourself becoming one with your subconscious, and everything just meshing together into one, beautiful mess. It's hard to say what you're actually seeing. It feels like a dream.

Chart Ruler vs Dominant Planet

I’ve been asked about the difference between a person’s chart ruler and dominant planet about three times in the past day, so I’m going to make a post about it, so everybody can learn!

How do I find my chart ruler?

Your chart ruler is the ruling planet of the sign on your ascendant. Below is a list of the zodiac signs and their ruling planets.

ARIES: Mars

TAURUS: Venus

GEMINI: Mercury

CANCER: Moon

LEO: Sun

VIRGO: Mercury

LIBRA: Venus

SCORPIO: Pluto

SAGITTARIUS: Jupiter

CAPRICORN: Saturn

AQUARIUS: Uranus

PISCES: Neptune

So, for example, if Pisces is on your ascendant (i.e. you are a Pisces rising), then Neptune is your chart’s ruler.

Some astrologers also say that if there are two signs present in the 1st house, then the rulers of the two signs are co-rulers of the chart.

How do I find my dominant planet?

Finding your dominant planet is a little trickier. Unlike your chart ruler, your dominant planet is based on the full natal chart rather than just one point in the chart. This video shows the steps to finding your dominant planet along with your dominant sign, element, and modality.

So what’s the difference between them?

Your dominant planet is the planet with the most influence in your full natal chart. This is based off of many different factors including aspects made with the planet and the position of the planet. Your chart ruler is based off your ascendant.

Your dominant planet sums up you and your chart and shows what part of your psyche is the most prominent and powerful in your life. Your chart ruler leads your chart forward. It’s associated with your self-expression and your sense of identity. It also sets the tone for your life.

You may not feel the effects of your dominant planet as much as you feel the effects of your chart ruler because many parts of a person’s natal chart are left relatively unconscious or hidden. These parts, though unconscious or hidden, still contribute to the person’s dominant planet. Because the chart ruler is based on one of the most prominent and visible points of the chart, the ascendant, you may feel the effects of it more and be more aware of its influence.

Crystals for Astrology

This post focuses on stones that not only align one with the energies of the heavens but also assist in learning.

Labradorite: This stone carries astrological energy, particularly the Moon’s, within it and can impart that energy to the holder. It facilitates the transition of intuition into intellect and allows for this new knowledge to be utilized immediately. It brings clarity to the mind by clearing out dark or unwanted thoughts. Labradorite is particularly useful in that it unites logic and traditional knowledge with intuition and supernatural and psychic knowledge. It is used to sharpen the mind in every way. Birthstone of Sagittarius, Scorpio, and Leo

Moonstone: Again, this is a stone that carries the energy of the Moon and grants it to the holder. It is capable of uniting the holder’s physical, emotional, and intellectual bodies, making learning and development more natural. Moonstone is particularly useful to those who learn and develop in an emotional way rather than a purely logical, detached one. Its energy is extremely “motherly” in that it supports the holder, easing them through times of growth and making their lessons painless. It both calms and awakes the mind, bringing the holder confidence and composure. Birthstone of Cancer, Libra, and Scorpio

Plancheite: Used in activities that connect the body to higher levels of thought and energy, plancheite is a popular tool for those seeking to understand the influences of the heavenly bodies. While this stone is associated with Leo, no matter what the position of the planets it is able to connect the holder to the heavenly bodies, channeling the energy of each into the holder. It assists in preparing the holder through the retention and processing of large quantities of information. Birthstone of Leo

Samarskite: By connecting the intuitive and logical methods of thought, Samarskite is able to promote problem solving in all areas of life: mental, physical, emotional, etc. It inspires the holder to work hard and aim high in their intellectual pursuits, particularly when that pursuit is astrological in nature. Birthstone of Scorpio

Almandine: This stone is a specific variety of garnet which assists in contemplation by connecting the holder to their higher intellect. Birthstons of Scorpio and Virgo

Cassiterite: This stone, particularly Cassiterite of the yellow variety, has been used for intellectual actuation. It is used to provide the holder with a very precise insight into encountered issues or situations. Birthstone of Sagittarius

Chalcosiderite: It is often used to assist astrologers as it promotes concentration and persistence, stimulates an understanding of information presented in order to understand the big picture, and it stimulates the third eye. Birthstone of Scorpio

Gibbsite: An initiator, Gibbsite drives the holder to work independently and do their very best in their intellectual pursuits. It allows one to see the big picture in all situations and opens the mind to new information. Birthstone of Aries

DIFFERENCE between MOON and SUN signs

The expression of a sign is much - MUCH - different depending on the planet it is found. And in my opinion, this is specially true when it comes to the sun and moon. The Sun is who we strive to be, while the Moon is what we are most deeply. Sometimes I even see that the Stereotypical traits of a sign are more evident in the moon than in the sun sign. The reason I find for this, is that most of us express ourselves through our feelings, particularly women or people with a more feminine energy (what I mean by this, has nothing to do with gender, but that you are in tune with your emotions) or sometimes it has to do with your dominant planet. Here are the differences and similarities of the signs placed on the sun or moon.

Aries:

Similarities: impatient

Differences: Sun is more aloof, the Aries sun is more constrained, and composed, looks confident. Moon in Aries has a lot of mental energy, very passionate and changes their mind very easily. The Moon doesn’t know how to direct their energy and might feel restless, while the Sun projects their energy better. Aries Moon feels everyone is out to get them while the Aries Sun does not. Aries characteristics are more obvious and pronounced in the Aries moon than the Aries sun.

Taurus:

Similarities: stubbornness and charm, expressive.

Differences: Taurus sun are blunt and less careful with other people’s feelings. In this particular sign, the Taurus sun is easier to spot than the Taurus moon. The Taurus moon is more grounded than the Taurus sun. Taurus moon is deep, while the Taurus sun is more shallow. Taurus moon loves love, and stability, and this quality is less manifested in the Sun.

Gemini:

Similarities: aloof, absent minded, easily bored

Differences:  Gemini suns want to appear easy-going, but it isn’t necessarily their true nature. Gemini moons are truly easy-going people. Sun wants to “be right” know the facts, while Gemini moons are simply more cynical to guard their emotions. Gemini suns are less witty (sorry…) than the moon sign.

Cancer:

Similarities: emotional, has pronounced mood swings.

Differences: Cancer suns act their feelings, like taking revenge, doing something about it BUT the cancer moon express their negative emotions through crying or anger.  Cancer suns are easy to spot, while cancer moons may need to feel comfortable to express themselves. The happy go lucky cancer sun is evident, while the Cancer moon is more - way more - serious.

Leo:

Similarities: the Ego and the need for compliments

Differences: The Leo Sun is a poser, they know it too! They are show offs, and while the Leo Moon is pretty damn good at everything, they know it, but will not say it. Will like to hear it, tho. The Leo Moon does not care about their appearance as much as the Leo Sun. The Leo Sun is more patient, annoy them a little, try harder, try again and they will get angry, the Leo Moon is more defensive and will kill you in less tries. The Leo Moon is more loving though, more sure of themselves and way more protective of themselves and especially, of their loved ones.

Virgo:

Similarities: critical, analyzing

Differences: I find in this sign the less differences. The Virgo Sun is more shy than the Virgo Moon, which I think goes against popular belief. (I also think this sign differs a lot depending if you are more masculine or feminine, I’ll do a post on that later). The Virgo knows how to live life correctly and will tell you how to lead your life, while being a mess themselves. Both are blunt, but you might have to push the Virgo suns more than the Virgo moons to actually get the real deal.

Libra:

Similarities: cares about what others think of them, passive agressive

Differences: the Libra sign is very misinterpreted, whenever I read about them I hear: “shallow” and while they can be vain because they care what others think about them, they are still deep. They think and are witty people, like their fellow air signs. Libra Sun is more care-free and easy going than the libra moon and less romantic because they want to appear care-free and interested in others, but might not really be interested at all. Libra Moon people are more intense. They are romantic and still vain, but they are more modest and insecure the Suns. They are also secretive something the Libra Sun is not. 

Scorpio:

Here and in Capricorn is where I PERSONALLY find the most differences

Similiarities: jealous, egocentric

Differences: if you still think that Scorpio people are the mysterious, dark, non talkative people that the stereotypes have them for, you really do not know many Scorpios SUNS. Scorpio SUNS want to be the center of attention and are charming, and talkative. When they get dark is when they don’t like you… Yeah. Revenge is a big truth here. The Scorpio moon? Now yes, they are the intense, dark, jealous you always thought Scorpios should be. Scorpio Suns might be dark at their core but will not show it, but Scorpio moons are what you see. The Sun is more reckless because just like I said about cancers, in the sun Scorpio acts on their feelings and the moons just feels them. So actually, in spite of being more intense, the Scorpio Moon tends to be kinder and still more jealous.

Sagittarius:

Similarities: EXPLORERS and thin skin

Differences: The Sun has a bigger heart. The moon since its the realm of emotions and Sag escapes, is less empathetic. The Sagittarius Sun is more bubbly than the moon, but the moon is more playful. The Sag sun is pretty easy to spot while the Sag moon might be one of the hardest to see. Sagittarius moons are more critical and snap easily. They are more blunt than the sun. Both are childish in way, it’s the Sag youthful spirit. The Sagittarius Sun is more philosophical and aware, the sag moon is more care-free.

Capricorn:

Similarities: confident and ambitious!

Differences: Are you kidding me? Capricorn suns are way way less introvert! They are not as reserved! The thing is, the Suns try to keep their feelings in check but the Moon though, is naturally hiding them. It’s what they instinctively do since the Moon represents the emotions. The Capricorn sun has a more loud confidence, while the Moon is more cautious. The Capricorn Sun might not be hardworking in areas that do not interest them, but if they want something, they will make everyone know they are going to get it. The Capricorn Moon are prudent and will get what they want with discipline and with anyone realizing how they got to the top! They do not need to say it, they will show you. The Moon is colder than the Sun and more intimidating. Way more intimidating.

Aquarius:

Similarities: I see not much resemblance in these two, maybe the aloofness and Idgaf attitude.

Differences: If I had to say who is the two face of the zodiac I would not turn to the Gemini, surprisingly enough. The Aquarius Sun tho, they are volatile. In the Sun I have trouble understanding them and in the moon they are obvious! The Aquarius Sun looks confident and detached, but this might not be their true emotional nature, just a disguise. They can be happy one moment and angry the next, loving for one second, pushing you away after because of this fighting against what their inner feelings are and what they want their public persona to be. The Moon is less volatile because they really are detached, for the moon it’s not a show. VERY VERY GOOFY, loves attention and IS WITTY. Very unique person and loves/wants to appear weird.

Pisces:

Similarities: creative

Differences: The Pisces Sun is sensitive, but more to their own feelings. The Pisces Moon is more sensitive towards others, not wanting to hurt other people. The Pisces Moon is truly the most sensitive of the zodiac. The Pisces Moon cares more about what people think than the Sun. The Pisces Sun is comfortable in their skin, the Moon is always fighting against their empathetic nature. “Why am i feeling so much, stop” but if only the Pisces Moon did not feel ashamed of their sensitivity they would hurt much less. Yes, the Pisces Moon that doesn’t like being empathetic, lives in a lot of pain. They Moon can be submissive and naturally wants to please, the Sun however, is more selfish. Also, the Pisces Moon escapes reality more often and is darker.
