Me and my husband have been trying for a baby for the past two years, with no luck. I was wondering if you new of any spells or herbs etc.. that could help us I have been to 4 different doctors with no luck. Thanks!

There’s actually a spell that I know for this.

You get a red apple, cut it in half, carve the rune Fehu (or your own sigil) into the inside of both halves. Sprinkle mugwort on the halves and tie them back together with a red ribbon. Bury it outside your window.

I’ve also heard that placing a bowl of fresh rosemary under your bed while trying to conceive can help.

Another tip is to place a pillow or even a rolled up towel beneath your hips after the deed has been did can help (but make sure it isn’t too high).

I wish you the best of luck. I know the struggle. If you need anything else, feel free to message me. 🌸

Fertility Spell: A Call to Mother Freya

This spell is to be performed on the Friday (Freya’s Day) on or before the New Moon. Ideally, this will stimulate ovulation and fertilization to help you get pregnant.

Supplies: 

Red apple

Red candle

Knife (boline)

Twine or ribbon

Mugwort

Rose quartz

Moonstone

Small drawstring bag or cloth 

Slice the apple in half horizontally (the seeds should form a pentacle), then carve the rune Fehu into the center. Sprinkle with mugwort and put the apple back together, tying it shut. Place the stones in a bag or cloth. Charge both over a lit red candle while chanting the following:

Goddess Freya, true and fair, Far too long have I lain bare Grant my womb and honored guest, Swell my stomach and my breast My greatest wish bequeath to me Quicken the seed, so mote it be.

Bury the apple under the window to your bedroom. Place the stones with some mugwort in a bag or cloth and tuck it under your pillow. If you can, wear red to bed, sleep in red sheets, or tie a red ribbon to your underwear. Before you fall asleep that night, repeat the following ad nauseum:

Quicken the seed, so mote it be.

Note: This will (obviously) only have any effect if you also do the baby dance or undergo some kind of implantation/sperm donation. This spell will not spawn any messiahs.

What can you tell me about a Pisces sun, mars, and Saturn in the 10th?

achieving success through creative/intuitive means, not really having a plan for their career but taking steps according to when they sense it’s the right time, an artistic or spiritual field, a specific vision for where they want to be in the future preferably being the boss or some leading authority figure but they’ll be one of those chill bosses who let’s you take a lot of vacations or sick days off, the boss no one really sees around too often and works behind the scenes, a job that lets you be active and doesnt restrain you in any way, movement and changeability is important

Venus in the Houses ♀💒

Venus is the planet of love, close relationships, and personal resources—possessions, money, and earning power. Venus represents relationships and resources in every chart and, like the other planets, manifests according to its sign, house position, and aspects. It also represents your social skills and social life, the ways in which you’re self-indulgent, how you express affection, and how you define beauty. Venus provides insights into the characteristics you seek in a partner. Those are some of the specifics of Venus. Its influence, however, can be summarized thusly: Venus is what you attract, and how you interact with others. x

💕 1ˢᵗ House: Charming, popular, and gracious, you’re a people person who instantly puts others at ease. You’re a natural diplomat and mediator, the one who promotes cooperation and compromise. What you’re definitely not is a pushover, despite what others may think. You know that the art of finesse—not aggression—is the way to win battles and wars. Image-conscious, you understand that perception is reality and thus strive to look your best at all times. But designer clothing and jewelry can stretch your budget when you feel extravagant and self-indulgent. Most people with Venus in the first house are attractive, and some have artistic talent. All have an eye for beauty and symmetry. This placement also encourages laziness.

💕 2ⁿᵈ House: Money, money, money! You attract plenty of it during your lifetime, and probably got started in childhood with odd jobs for family and neighbors (and fast deals with friends!). You value your possessions and also want life’s luxuries and top-of-the-line quality. At times extravagant, you’re generally thrifty but willing to splurge occasionally on yourself and loved ones. You won’t, however, pay more than a fair price, and almost always find the bargains that elude others. You could profit financially from a business or personal partnership. Some people with Venus in the second house seek a mate who is wealthy or one with social status, which you value highly. You also have strong ethics, principles, and a sense of justice.

💕 3ʳᵈ House: You’re a charming conversationalist with a talent for subtle persuasion. At your best, you can convince anyone of almost anything and make them believe it’s their own idea. You’re also tactful and gracious and rarely utter unkind words. This is as much of a reflection of your communication style as it is your dislike of conflict. At times you’ll concede a point just to maintain harmony. Socializing is high on your priority list, and you mix and mingle and circulate with ease, leaving everyone feeling like they’re the center of your universe. Reading, the theater, music, and the arts appeal to many with this placement. You also like to travel in comfort and will stretch your budget to acquire a luxury vehicle. Relationships with siblings and neighbors are favorable, and regular communication with them is important to you.

💕 4ᵗʰ House: Your home is (or what you want it to be) beautifully decorated with artwork and the best furnishings you can afford. It’s a showplace that reflects your financial status, as well as a place to entertain friends, which you do frequently. Many people with Venus in the fourth house lavishly decorate their homes inside and out for every holiday and are avid gardeners. Clutter is a challenge for some people with this placement, who save everything and cover every surface with knickknacks, photos, and other possessions and paraphernalia. You’re close to family and loved ones and do all you can to maintain family harmony, which is vital to your happiness. You may inherit a sizable sum from your parents or other relatives.

💕 5ᵗʰ House: Charm, popularity, and charisma are yours, along with an active social life and many admirers. You’re a romantic who loves to love as much as you need to be loved. This is true whether you’re single and dating, or in a long-term commitment. Love notes delight you, and you’re fond of surprising your partner with heartfelt expressions of TLC. Most people with Venus in the fifth house are fond of children, and many are the parents of talented, creative offspring. Fun, leisure time, and hobbies have a prominent place in your daily life. You may have artistic of acting talent or support in the arts. Without a doubt you’re creative in some way and have a sense of balance and an eye for beauty and harmony. 

💕 6ᵗʰ House: You enjoy your work life most of the time—when you’re in the right position at the right company. Pleasant surroundings are a must. You won’t consider a job where you’ll be in a run-down or strictly utilitarian environment from 8 to 5. If you work in an office setting, you’ll personalize your work-space with photos, knickknacks, and mementos. You’re well liked by coworkers, and these congenial, harmonious relationships boost productivity. You promote cooperation and compromise, partly to limit conflict, which upsets you more than most people. Many social and romantic opportunities come through coworkers. Most people with Venus in the sixth house are fond of pets, and some are susceptible to sore throats.

💕 7ᵗʰ House: You’re a people person who’s popular, tactful, and charming. People flock to you, which suits you fine because you dislike going anywhere alone. Companionship is a natural state for you, and you have a knack for bringing people together. Many people with Venus in the seventh house have a strong need for a mate that they form a union at an early age. Although this placement generally indicates a happy partnership, you should be sure you’re in love—not in love with love—before you commit. Business relationships and partnerships also benefit from this placement, and financial gain can come to you through a personal or professional relationship. But you can be too trusting at times, taking people at face value when a a closer look would be to your advantage. Be selective. Don’t let people use you for their own ends.

💕 8ᵗʰ House: Joint resources are generally favorable when Venus is in the eighth house. You can benefit through a partner’s money, inheritance, or insurance, as well as your own high income potential. Some people with Venus in eighth house choose a mate for status and money as much as (or sometimes more than) for love. This placement also can indicate intense emotions, possessiveness, and jealousy. You can run up considerable debt if you’re an extravagant free-spender. Save first, budget, and plan for the future; allow yourself an occasional self-indulgent splurge. A career in the financial area, such as banking, investments, or fundraising, might interest you.

💕 9ᵗʰ House: Education has a dual purpose in your life: in addition to its obvious merits, education can open up more lucrative career opportunities and connect you with potential partners who have above-average earning potential. Some people with Venus in the ninth house are linked romantically or professionally to someone from a different culture, country, or background. Your interest in other cultures extends to travel that mixes pleasure and learning—almost always with a partner—and usually in the most luxurious accommodations you can afford. The arts also attract many people with this placement, as a career or hobby or as a supporter. Justice, equality, and spirituality are prominent themes in your life.

💕 10ᵗʰ House: Although you have career ambitions, they’re not associated with the drive and determination typical of high achievers. They don’t have to be. With Venus in the tenth house, your charm, charisma, and people skills give you a head start over many. Popular with coworkers and managers alike, you have an excellent image and reputation as a hard worker who’s congenial and cooperative and supportive of team efforts. However, some people with this placement are decidedly lazy social climbers who expect others to carry their load. Others form romantic partnerships for social or financial gain. Venus here is a plus for a career in the arts, financial fields, and beauty and fashion industries, as well as those with public contact.

💕 11ᵗʰ House: Socializing with your many friends is a favorite evening and weekend activity. Many people with Venus in the eleventh house are actively involved in organizations, including those that support the arts. You could benefit financially from an investment club, and many of your friends are likely to be financially secure. Your popularity is linked to your charming and gracious personality and your effortless ability to put others at ease. However, you’re overly generous with friends at times, doing too much for them and investing too much of your time, effort, and money. Sometimes this placement indicates a partnership through or with a friend. Many people with Venus here are inveterate matchmakers.

💕 12ᵗʰ House: You enjoy peace, quiet, and time alone, yet at the same time you can be lonely. This dichotomy is tough to resolve, especially if you’re essentially shy. You thus can be highly susceptible to anyone who showers you with attention. Be cautious. He or she may be the real thing or one with ulterior motives. When a union is at its best, you love to the depths of your soul. Some people with Venus in the twelfth house have a succession of secret love affairs. Others choose a mate who emulates a parent. You’re creative and may have artistic talent and a highly developed sixth sense. You’re also compassionate and willingly share time and resources with those in need. This placement can indicate a shopping/spending addiction.

Mercury ~ a little Goddess told me

Mercury in Aries: The girl who falls asleep with a headache mercury in aries is a refreshing, young, inquisitive and desiring energy. they have a childlike intrigue in just about anything and imagine themselves as different characters in different stories. the reflex to provocation can be rapid fire defence and critically wounding verbal delivery. there is a short attention span, but they learn quickly - largely too because they are not afraid to ask questions and follow the detour of distraction, and look for answers in every opportunity that promises an explanation.  here is considerable raw energy combusting inside this active, restless, and animated mind. mercury in aries knows how to get conversation started, and better yet - they know how to keep people amused and engaged. they can be under performers in school, and not due to lack of intelligence but rather lack of stimulation, distraction, and resistance to teachers

Mercury in Taurus: The girl whose mind grows a garden when comfortable, mercury in taurus people can become very pressured to tap into a never ending supply of energy for conversation. but sometimes they can feel too awkward around new environments, mentally lazy, lethargic, tired, or uninspired by the discussion. these people share most of their greatest and most beautiful thoughts in their private diary, songbook, or blog. it’s like they have to be away from the dense energy of other people so they can feel free to wonder and whip words like buttermilk cream. to onlookers the mental process can seem slow, but the mind has a rich, active, and continuous activity that co-ordinations information through creative and rational dynamics to extract useful resource, skills, and intellectual capital. this mind is habitual by nature and they can find a sort of quiet delight or satisfaction in the solitary practice and rehearsal of their natural talents. the appetite and desire for food and culinary gratification can be strongly influenced by psychological balance and wellbeing, nerves, and loneliness.

Mercury in Gemini: The girl that was talking to Hermes when she was three minutes old mercury in gemini people have quick comebacks and love to playfully tease and weave complex webs with words. their forgetfulness can be a form of freedom and inconvenience. there is a constant intake of information and automatic disintegration of short term and emotional memory, personal and monotonous details - basically anything that consumes the brain space where facts and knowledge should be. this process clears and provides another bookshelf for new information. it can create the intriguing combination of someone with  composite and clever intelligence who faces significant challenges in basic principles like punctuality, remembering to eat, day to day planning, attention to detail, focus, and applicable common sense. they can be devouring information about a new intellectual fascination and completely unaware that the sun is rising. there is little concept of time when there is so much domination of mind. mercury in gemini people can command the conversation, but this is very much to everyone’s delight. they can blend comedy, conspiracies, and current affairs into one amusing interplay  

Mercury in Cancer: The girl who went to school on the moon the emotional state will be evident in the tone of voice. the cancer qualities of reticence, side-stepping, and withdrawing are not really encouraged to develop by mercury. it can make for quite a comical and slanted perspective and portrayal, a rapid fast verbal defence to threat or antagonism, and the ability to direct emotion into the opponent’s weak spots with critically wounding words. they can love to learn from picture books. as adults, these people can enjoy biographies, human stories, and keeping a journal of memories. mercury in cancer can make a great teacher. the cancer mother can see students as children and nurture through educating a new generation, the inner child present in the moon that rules cancer finds creative and inspiring ways to relate and deliver the message. these people are more receptive of body language than what is actually being said. they will quickly establish if someone in the conversation is uncomfortable. unexpressed emotion becomes mental contamination  

Mercury in Leo: The girl with a lion on the loose through her mind there is never a dull moment inside this mind. but they have a very day and night experience. thoughts can roar like a valiant lion in the day, radiating supreme pride in thoughts, intellectual creativity and talent, and personal convictions. but by night the sun is gone and so has this part of the mind, the crown has fallen, the protective lion is asleep, and the baby cubs become trapped in the cage of replaying moments of shame, self-consciousness, and regressive need to have troubles responded to and soothed through conversation. they identify closely withe mind, so there can be an uplifting and lifelong elevation of confidence when validated by a teacher, certificate, degree, or academic. they can feel ravenously devoured by psychological darkness, and their hope and resilience is a burning light of redemption. mercury in leo honours the mind through learning and achieving personal best results, imaginative writing, creative verbal demonstration, and experimenting with different mental characters

Mercury in Virgo: The girl who was born to think mercury in virgo is always operating from part of the mind, it has an orderly style of automatic consistency. it refuses to stop operating regardless of circumstance, it can be difficult for the person to fall asleep, push thoughts aside, and remain focused in their environment with relentless chatting and discourse, order, disorder, and constant intellectual arranging taking place in the background. even though mercury is the ruler of virgo, there can be so much mental activity and brilliance that there can be black outs and catastrophic breakdown like a tangle in the wiring that can make them stumble over their words, become overcome with nerves or paralysis in public speaking or answering a question, or say something different to what they were thinking. they may not like to study, but the feeling of being unprepared and failing is worse

Mercury in Libra: The girl that could read your mind mercury in libra people are active and charming conversationalists. they are intelligent and they can discuss just about anything with ease - except themselves. these people are very skilled at personal observation and reading body language. this is largely because they have spent a lot of time being so mentally overwhelmed and so paralysed by their environment that they are unsure what they should do. so they watch the people around them and try to replicate their actions. maybe they even laugh or just because other people are laughing, or take on a different accent or vocabulary. they may have practiced this at school with classmates when they were distracted by daydream and missed the teacher’s instruction. mercury in libras can spend a lot of time confined inside the mind self-reflecting, wondering whose inside, and analysing their thoughts, questions, and behaviour. they constantly practice psychoanalysis on themselves and delve the responses they generate from people 

Mercury in Scorpio: The girl that can hypnotise with her eyes scorpio is always secretive by nature, but these people are not afraid to unleash when conversation is deceiving, simple-minded, ignorant, or misinforming. mercury in scorpio focus is unmatched, and they make continual transformations in how they think about. and perceive the world. thought patterns and convictions can be completely different from the person they were a year or two ago. there is an appetite to supply the mind with abundant resource of information, and knowledge is their power. mercury in scorpio does not think, learn, or interact with the world like anybody else. they are instructed in the lesson plan from unseen forces, and they seem to make contact with the right people, sources, and conversations that provide clues to their questions. there are 3 processes taking place with the intake of information. one is the process that we can see take place, a mesmerising calculation and truthful excision see in the eyes, a hesitance to trust, and contemplative listening. the 2nd is flames of personal honour and perspective. the 3rd is saturated in emotional water and throttled through the psychic beam that x-rays and executes delusion and reveals revelation

Mercury in Sagittarius: The girl who asks for answers from the world mercury in sagittarius can have a conflicted mental experience. they can see everything through 2 different eyes. there is one view from the top that compresses the whole spectacle, where they feel grand and important in the world. the other view is from a sight that feels small in a big world, surrounded and ravished by inflating details and a deceiving path seen and unseen. mercury in sagittarius people are highly responsive to environmental intellectual stimulus, winning the debate, and taking any opportunity to grow the mind. there can be a significant nervous experience with mercury in sagittarius, worries and concerns can blow enormously out of proportion and crush with an intense intellectual weight and bended prophecy. a thought can quickly inflate to unease, angst, then into fear, nerves, or panic. they have a wide-ranging sense of opportunity that makes everything seem possible. it also means that there is always the glimmer of hope that burns inside the mind 

Mercury in Capricorn: The girl that hid her mind in the closet this mind is very private and guarded, and they would often rather think something than say it out loud. they are simultaneously stimulated and threatened by information that can fragment their view of reality. they are absorbed and internally preoccupied by the constant automatic process of cataloguing and examining thoughts, information, and objectives. these people can seem difficult to trigger a response from, but you can tell if something has aroused their mind through the widened eyes and attentive focus. they like to learn through private repetition and it can be challenging to relax because they are ultra conscious of time wasting. mercury in capricorns like to finish what they start, even if they don’t really enjoy a book they will commit to reading it. these people are not as conservative as it seems. mental patterns and psychological coping mechanisms easily become habits and ritualistic attachment. it’s possible for them to adopt, maintain, and remain secretive about self-destructive practices that help them deal with the mind

Mercury in Aquarius - The girl that read upside down mercury in aquarius people will like to hear and digest information from multiple ranges of perspective and insight. they will often ask endless questions and ways for someone to explain their point of view. mercury in aquarius has great ideals and experiment with various mediums to get their point across. they identify strongly with the mind, so it can be difficult to compromise personal ideologies and convictions. they are not afraid to change their mind, but they will not subject themselves to adopt an opinion or outlook that lacks objective and subjective evidence, personal scrutiny, and a vast spectrum questions and answers. they don’t like to judge, but they can ridicule ignorance, indoctrination, and lack of substance. there is no shortage of intelligence in mercury in aquarius, but it may not have been compatible in early schooling and consequently deeply eroded confidence in themselves. it’s important for these people to find a work, social, and domestic environment that invites and celebrates their unique mind and stellar ideas

Mercury in Pisces - The girl with books filled with spilling words and ink blots from watery tear drops conversation and intellectual stimulation can be very moving and suggestive for mercury in pisces. they can be very swayed based on their subjective emotional response and their ideals, they can almost be too sensitive to the other person’s opinion. these people can be natural teachers because they have an inspiring and creative way of delivering information and they are very patient with people learning and understanding. truth is flexible based on their point of reference. they interact with their environment through the eyes of the higher mind, so immaterial, unseen, cosmic activity expands and dominates the perspective. this viewpoint appears to make the material and concrete constructs vague and obsolete by comparison. the meander of dream, daydream, and thought can seem to be more real than the lived experience. this is also one of their blessings, as it taps the person into stream of telepathy that sources intuitive information and the muse of the mind

Aspects of Lilith

Both descriptions may apply to conjunctions.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Sun: The native has a well-defined sense of self & remarkable inner security. They thrive when in conflict with an oppressive force or structure & feed on all kinds of attention, positive or negative. They take pride in their radical traits; they are liberated by unapologetic self-expression. Shame is not part of their vocabulary. Social discord is entertaining. The identity relies on breaking stereotypes, standing out, or rebelling somehow. Hedonism can become a severe self-sabotaging issue if the enjoyment of freedom goes too far or inflates the ego to the point of unhealthy confidence. These people typically find trouble wherever they go, and are easily bored by rules & standards. Square, opposite, or quincunx Sun: The native is constantly met with criticism, rejection, or exclusion for their individuality, and this causes them to hide or repress the most unique parts of themselves. They despise expectations, and when others have any measure of control over them they can become hostile or deeply troubled. They have a painful yearning for freedom but fear the reactions they are used to receiving. A significant amount of their energy will be spent learning how to express themselves openly & shamelessly. Social stigma or stifling of the identity in whatever form will be the primary catalyst for discovery and realization of self. They will be forced to accept themselves.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Moon: The native is comfortable exploring the darker & more unconventional parts of who they are. They instinctually understand their aberrant or taboo qualities, and they are not afraid of them; they’re naturally introspective when it comes to rejection or exclusion and intuitively realize what separates them from others. They use their emotions & imagination to highlight their individuality; they also find freedom in emotional expression. They are not tied down to the person they were raised to be, and do not limit themselves to a personal standard any more than a societal standard – they are able to break away from habitual conformity or self-stifling habits in general. Square, opposite, or quincunx Moon: The native is emotionally upset by rejection and may cling to tradition or other metaphorical “safety blankets” developed in childhood in order to avoid social discord. They habitually repress their dark, taboo, or aberrant qualities out of discomfort & insecurity. They’re afraid of fully expressing themselves, and being free in their individuality is a frighteningly foreign concept; they shy away from situations that prompt them to stand out or rebel and will retreat into a shell of reservations when faced with the opportunity to break or bend a standard. The emotional equilibrium is ravaged by criticism, exclusion, and alienation. They feel painfully isolated.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Mercury: The native is able to logically analyze social stigmas & standards, and intellectually deconstruct the power those have over individual lives (especially their own). Reason consistently prevails over peer pressure. Their ideas and the way they communicate them are radical in some way and receive much attention, good or bad. Criticism is easily combated with the mind; they are able to see through others’ opinions and separate themselves from judgement, and are thus free to think the way they want to – free thought defines their mindscape, and they are lost without it. Mental/verbal exchanges shape their understanding of society. Controversy deeply intrigues them. Square, opposite, or quincunx Mercury: The native has little faith in their ability to accurately comprehend themselves, others, or society as a whole, and therefore may place monumental importance on other people’s opinions. They are easily stressed by having to explain themselves or their actions; judgement and criticism easily shut them down. They are quick to label their ideas or their interpersonal & communicative mannerisms as strange and unwanted, so they may choose to be quiet and reserved rather than put their mind on display. They have a very difficult time defending themselves or rationalizing their place in a group. They can’t use their logical mind to escape twisted social structures.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Venus: The native easily merges personal freedom & social graces to create a naturally appealing individuality which gains positive attention & reactions from others, no matter how taboo or radical. Controversy is a part of the unique style; in other words, this person wears ignominy well, and may use it to their advantage in an attractive way. Others admire or romanticize their aberrant qualities. The native’s personal tastes and preferences support a happily outcast identity; criticism & judgement serve as signs of being socially relevant, and they make being different fashionable. Extreme hedonism is tied to this aspect, especially in relationships that aren’t widely acceptable. Square, opposite, or quincunx Venus: The native is torn in a heightened conflict between individuality and conformity, particularly in the context of relationships or style. The vacillation between radical subversion of social standards and passive adherence to them is a matter of choosing between happiness and harmony, both of which are crucially important. The native may lose relationships or general popularity for their stigmatized qualities, which deeply harms their self-esteem. They wish to fully be themselves but cannot reconcile that with the risks that come with it – they are unsure of its worth, which subsequently leads to uncertain self-worth as a whole.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Mars: The native possesses an unconquerable willpower which seldom bends for anyone else, and there is little care for others’ disapproval of it. If something is desired, it is achieved; the expectations and opinions of other people have little to no influence. No social stigma, criticism, or oppressive standard can get in the way of the native’s drive. They regularly break rules and disregard structures that don’t serve their initiatives, and charge forward without waiting for anyone to forgive, accept, or get used to them. Their sexuality is openly expressed; they are proud of their taboo desires. Going against popular belief fuels their inner fire, impassions and excites them. Square, opposite, or quincunx Mars: The native is easily infuriated by notions, structures, or actions which they perceive as threatening of their autonomy, and they typically react with hostility when others criticize or attempt to control them in any way. They are unable to handle judgement, often reject the opinions of others before they’ve even heard them, and thus usually have a narrow view of most things, lacking the capacity to see other perspectives. Their one-track mind can cause them to lack foresight & create immense social conflict/discord where it is not necessary or appropriate. All of this stems from a deep fear of of others defining them, so they invert it into aggressive opposition of others & abrasively assume the role of “outcast” before others can force them into it.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Jupiter: The native’s mind is filled with grand philosophies of the truth about society and why stigmas & standards must be broken for spiritual growth. They find enlightenment through liberation; freedom is more important to them than anything else because it fulfills them in every way and allows them to expand their intellect. Likewise, they use their intellect to expand their freedom, as well as the freedom of others. They may become something of a social pioneer or modern guru, teaching about the detrimental nature of the status quo and encouraging others to go against the norm. They don’t believe in conformity. Their beliefs separate them from the majority. Square, opposite, or quincunx Jupiter: The native may attach to philosophies solely for the sake of controversy. They may become so invested in being different that they no longer care if they are right. Their morality is selfish; their beliefs & personal code revolve around a set of faux rules which permit them to be hedonistic or destructive for the sake of “liberation.” Unhealthy, harmful habits are proudly paraded around under the guise of self-empowered notions. Self-control feels unbearably limiting and stifling, even if it’s for their own good. They can become “special snowflake” types, and attempt to preach their flawed ideas so that others follow them in their “enlightened” lifestyle and thus validate it.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Saturn: Much of the native’s power comes from the innate ability to rework social limitations into structures that serve their purpose and growth. They are incredibly wise when it comes to the sensitivity of culture and know their place in society, as well as how to change it. They understand that freedom comes with responsibility and it does not come free; they possess the self-discipline necessary to cultivate true self-liberation and they aren’t afraid of putting in the effort to create the individuality they want to be known for. They handle stigma with grace, and rationally deconstruct the paradigms of others so that they begin to question why they believe in certain standards & “norms.” Square, opposite, or quincunx Saturn: The native easily becomes consumed by the “process” of “becoming themselves” – they get caught up in the changes that need to be made within themselves or in their environment before they can allow themselves to be fully self-expressive. They limit themselves with their own expectations, can become hindered by tradition, and place too much importance on the judgement & disapproval of authority figures. They care about the structural integrity of society, and don’t wish to compromise its strength, so they tend to repress all that is aberrant, controversial, or radical about themselves; they see self-liberation as selfish, non-productive, and unnecessarily dissonant.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Uranus: The native possesses very extreme views and opinions on society which others either love or hate them for. They often behave outrageously for the fun of it, and do or say things that may cause discord because gives them an electric, purposeful feeling. They disregard all social limitations and couldn’t care less about acceptance. They are the bona fide rebel. Nothing & no one can prevent them from being the person they want to be. Liberation runs in their blood. They don’t believe in any social order which hinders individual autonomy, and they have a desire to change society to make room for “the atypicals” like them. They use their freedom to free others. Square, opposite, or quincunx Uranus: Much of the traits for harmonious Lilith-Uranus aspects apply here as well, but in a harsher, more desperate sense. The native knows the pain and isolation of being rejected, humiliated, alienated, and ostracized, so they devote a lot of their energy to radically changing the social climate for the better. They have an ironic moral code; while they reject the morality of others, they follow their own rules. Their rebellion is decisive and purposeful rather than hedonistic or self-congratulating; they have a vision, a grand and noble goal of collective freedom which begins with them. They wish to change society almost as punishment for their oppressors.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Neptune: The native effortlessly, unconsciously evades social boundaries; cultural restrictions can’t contain them, because they slip away from rules and judgement non-violently, mysteriously. They live almost independent of social structure, outside of the realm of conformity. Others often romanticize their aberrant qualities & paint them as figures of graceful rebellion & unapologetic individuality, even though they may not intend to come across as such – they are just existing, but they do so with a gentle limitlessness envied by others. They draw inspiration and spiritual fulfillment from liberation, and feel most free when their soul (or subconscious mind) is uninhibited. Square, opposite, or quincunx Neptune: The native is easily confused or lost within social boundaries; they can’t comprehend others’ judgements or the rules placed upon them, and this creates deep interpersonal discomfort which invades the subconscious mind and the soul, surfacing through dreams, art, & emotions (which are the only places they feel free). They may cling to religion/spirituality to find their individuality. They can’t differentiate external standards from interior goals/desires and often chase ideals that aren’t their own. Others demonize their aberrant qualities and label them inaccurately. They liberate themselves through deceit, illusion, and escapism, as it is the only way they know how to.

Sextile, trine, or quintile Pluto: The native is intimately connected to their individuality, possessing a raw, resilient relationship to the darkest parts of who they are which separate them from others. They are immensely courageous when it comes to experiencing the taboo & controversial parts of society, entirely unafraid of things others try to ignore. They transform through unapologetic self-expression, and find rebirth through liberation. Their sexuality is deep and powerful, extreme and different, and they are proud of this; it is part of their identity, part of the way they rebel from society’s control over ego. They never allow society or other people to control them in any way. They own themselves. Square, opposite, or quincunx Pluto: The native is terrified of being controlled, and has extremely adverse emotional reactions to anything they perceive as having the potential to limit their freedom. They are paranoid of society’s power to erase individuality. They go to severe measures to protect their identity and autonomy, resorting to secrecy, manipulation, lies, and hostility to defend what they are afraid will be taken from them or exposed. They are fundamentally ashamed, guilty, and fearful; criticism and judgement harms their self-image. Their dark, taboo, aberrant traits are out of control, particularly their “unacceptable” sexual desires. They’re ruled by an obsession with individuality & liberation, which ironically damages or decreases their individual freedom.

Came back and checked for all 4 of the liliths lol

Identity and life path may change a lot. Likely more self-aware than most others with the same Rising. Tend to be very interesting to others, but don’t feel that way. Worldview is unstable & usually subjective but insightful.

Retrograde planet(s) in the 2nd house: have no idea what they’re worth until they take the time to study their personal values; before that happens, they tend not to have a solid foundation from which to operate & base their decisions/will on whims or temporary mindsets.

Retrograde planet(s) in the 5th house: poor self-confidence, hate standing out. High standards for themselves. Fear not being received well so they may water themselves down or put up a facade. Self-censure is a big problem, and so is self-denial. Pleasures/enjoyment are stressful & cause inner tug-of-war so they may avoid it altogether. Prefer to experience pleasure in private.

Retrograde planet(s) in the 7th house: usually able to acknowledge the parts of themselves they dislike/reject, thus they tend to be relatively self-aware. Very inhibited, may be hypocritical. Potentially the type to back out of commitments, present ultimatums, blackmail/manipulate, and “negotiate” their way through life in an unfair manner. Potentially repressive and superficial.

Retrograde planet(s) in the 8th house: particularly secretive; expression is inhibited. Tear themselves apart looking for answers to their problems; can be blind to things in their life that will help them, may ignore them on purpose out of fear, resentment, or self-contempt. Wise, insightful, extremely intuitive. Inner world is out of control so they’re excessively controlled on the outside.

Retrograde planet(s) in the 9th house: fleeing is a natural defense mechanism. Easily feels suffocated and the first instinct is to disappear from the immediate situation. Feel lost intellectually because nothing really makes sense to them or clicks; tend to have unconventional but intriguing opinions. Restless on the inside. Can’t settle on beliefs; can’t agree with anyone.

Retrograde planet(s) in the 10th house: feel lost in the world; feel as if the world has no room for them. Unsure of who they truly aspire to be, and that trickles down into their personal life, so they tend to be generally indecisive. Feel weak or inadequate. May have too many ambitions or a lack of them. Lack of belief in themselves. Limit their opportunities with underperformance.

Retrograde planet(s) in the 11th house: usually have issues making & keeping friends. Difficult to connect to in a lasting way, despite their efforts to integrate. Uncomfortable with fully “belonging” to a community, or attaching to dreams/ideals. May feel lost and disconnected, possibly excluded. Sometimes prone to withdrawal. Usually limit/filter their personality when socializing.

Retrograde planet(s) in the 12th house: generally present an image of themselves to others that differs greatly from who they are on the inside. Unsure of themselves, may be either extremely self-aware or extremely self-unaware depending on the sign/planet. Rarely seen or treated the way they should be. Painfully repressive but they can’t avoid the truth about themselves.

May apply to houses with their ruler in retrograde.

These descriptions also count for the nodal axis (if retrograde) to a lesser degree because retrogrades often relate to lessons that need to be learned in order for the native to “evolve” as a person, which is a big theme of the nodes.

The Natal Chart As Life Cycle

There are many, many ways to read a natal chart of course, and one particularly useful one is to look at the natal chart as a sort of life map where houses represent life phases or time periods.

Some astrologers assign a certain number of years to each house. For example, the first house is sometimes considered to relate to 0-7 years of age, the second house shows years 7 to 14, and so on. This system however assumes everyone lives for a very specific amount of time (84 years if my math checks out). One could say that someone who dies sooner will see their afterlife in the remaining houses, but I’ve not seen a work-around for those who live longer. 

Another approach (which I prefer) is to relate the houses to life phases. There are many ways to do this and you might like to try out different ones and see what works. If you’re also using the symbolic meanings of the houses, you may need to consider how these work with the life phase system; the 8th house is the house of death, so is it literal death or is literal death then in 12th? 

I think it’s best to allow for flexibility and let the natal chart shape your analysis rather than try to fit the natal chart to your system. Having said that, I’ve found that the first house often indicates birth quite reliably while the 2nd house indicates infancy and toddlerhood (so about 0-5 years). Adolescence often makes an appearance in 4th which makes sense as the 4th house is an angular house and related to both the 8th and 12th houses. Significant experiences in early adulthood often pop up in the 6th house, while mid life is often seen in the 12th.

In addition to assigning ages or life periods to the houses, you can also try connecting the symbolic meaning with age. For example, the first house (ascendant) is our beginning, so it makes sense to look at it in terms of our birth, early childhood or even pre-birth. The 12th house is the house of transformation - difficult transformation and self undoing - so it makes sense that adolescence and/or mid life would be indicated there. The 4th house is of course the house of our home so we may find that the years we spent living with our parent/s there. When you’re considering which house relates to the parents, you may like to consider when in the native’s life that parent was most significant. 

Finally, you may like to consider the relationship between the angular, succeedent and cadent houses. With this approach, the angular houses can be seen as indicating the most important times in the native’s life, while the succeedent and cadent houses show give the context for these events. While the interpretations of the quadrant generally posit angular houses first, succeedent houses second and cadent houses third, you could also see cadent houses as leading into the events of the angular house while the succeedent shows the effects of the angular houses. This is especially useful if you view the natal chart as a cycle rather than as having a concrete beginning and end. 

These are just a few ideas. As with all things in astrology, there’s not really a right way or a wrong way, just preferences. What works for one chart may not work for another, either (e.g. I usually use Placidus, but I’ve found it problematic for friends who live very far from the equator). The best way to figure it out is to read your own chart and see what fits, then try it out on others.
