hey your descendant post was really nice to read!! I wanted to ask you about which placements sort of lie to themselves about what they’re feeling without realising they are lying to themselves? Like in their head they think they know what they’re feeling but there’s a disconnect between their words and actions because they’re not being truthful to themselves..
thank you for your question and I hope you are well.
this can be a tricky one because people are influenced by a lot of things, and there will always be factors that ultimately affect how people think, especially as it may pertain to what they think they want.
I think as a whole, significant Venus, Neptune, or water placements can definitely manifest as elusive or not cohesive in their overall desires.
Venus or Neptune aspecting the seventh house, for example, may over-idealise love or sex. in more negative aspects, these two forces can become very delusional in love, possibly forming an array of wishes and expectations in their minds that are simply impossible to match up to. with that, Neptune over the Ascendent may suggest a lack of trust or realism within oneself, and this could inevitably affect the quality of their relationships. I would love to say the Moon too, but I think the Moon would try and look for reassurance and protection more than an idealised image of love. likewise, I think Pisces in a compromising position, whether over the 7h or even the 5h, could introduce some level of delusion.
Jupiter tends to add an inflated sense of whatever it touches, so I definitely think Jupiter over the fifth or seventh houses, or in aspects to planets such as Venus, Mars, or Neptune, can inflate what relationships mean to oneself. there is a natural pride that comes with relationships but also a tendency to almost worship love as something more godly than it really is. moreover, this placement tends to lose its realistic footing as it struggles actually maintaining a level ground for love, i.e. failing to compromise on things, or being overly delusional about things, having very high standards and values that are unrealistic, and attaching a divine element to love and one's partners that are untrue, all for the sake of seeking some form of redemption or justification for that specific relationship
a lack of strength in one house can inadvertently cause a lack of strength in another house. it may be that an afflicted Saturn in the 12h or 4h has put pressure on a Moon or Venus in the 2h, 1h, or 7h, thus making the native feel more reliant on their feelings, and perhaps lacking the emotional strength to actually follow and express these emotions clearly... thus without any sort of emotional restriction, they are more likely to act out on emotions that, in the moment, feel right, but are not right at all. double points if Mars is also added into the mix, as there will be a more impulsive and emotionally charged approach to things. this can be a good thing at times, but overall, can be hugely misleading or negative, as the native may drive themselves towards things they don't actually want to be in, all because they were so caught up in a dream they were so certain about
I hope this answered your question and I wish you the best! 🤗
#0047 your imum coeli ruler in the different houses
the imum coeli, or the fourth house, makes up one of the four angular points in the birth chart, directly opposing the midheaven, or the tenth house. where the ascendent represents our individual identity, the descendent represents our duality in our relationships; where the imum coeli represents our inner family circle and childhood, the midheaven represents our social standing and our careers. the imum coeli, or the fourth house, then, is a very significant energy in our charts, as this angular point represents our relationship with our mother and our early family dynamics. where the ruler of the fourth house is, can help determine some underlying aspects that further affect and/or influence this fourth house.
to find your fourth house ruler means finding the ruler of the sign of your fourth house. if your fourth house is ruled by pisces, for example, then your fourth house ruler will be neptune. if ruled by aries, then mars. if scorpio, then your fourth house ruler will be both mars and pluto. your fourth house ruler will always oppose your tenth house ruler and, together, they make up a significant fraction of the relationship between the past and future.
this post will analyse fourth house rulers in general; it will not include single planetary rulers.

when the fourth house ruler falls in the first house –
with the fourth house ruler falling in the first house, much of how these natives perceive themselves will surround their early family dynamics. for some, they may have felt their identity overlooked or undermined in some way, perhaps because the household was, to some extent, very controlling with how these people expressed their individuality and/or independence. maybe these natives felt very aware of their bodies (and perhaps even sexualities) and just how influential their family is on them. growing up, they may have struggled with asserting themselves or following their own path.
with more positive aspects, there may have been a very uplifting dynamic wherein their independence was positively reinforced with support from their family. the extremity of this placement can range, but usually these natives learn, or have to learn, a lot about following their own path in life, and establishing their own values and principles based on their experiences with their family. this also means that, for some, they may completely disregard their families when older because of the newfound freedom they have, that they never had when younger. with that, there may be feelings of wanting to leave the home early to find oneself. whatever the case may be, these individuals definitely perceive themselves a certain way because of how they grew up. their self-esteem will vary depending on their experience with the mother
when the fourth house ruler falls in the second house –
with the fourth house ruler falling in the second house, much of how these natives perceive their personal values and own approach to money and material things will stem from their childhood dynamics, most notably if their mother was absent or involved in their development in this regard. some natives experience a good and stable financial dynamic within the household but lack immaterial values and a sense of understanding of oneself. this means that despite having their needs taken care of, they don't actually have any real values or sense of worth that extends beyond material meaning. it may also mean that they intentionally pursue material things thinking it gives them the validation they want. for others, they may have had a solid household dynamic wherein their creative and emotional needs were fulfilled, and thus understood themselves well, and have very strong values as a result of their childhood experiences.
some natives with this placement have a strong attachment to their family home, especially if the home was positive. they may be tied to their material things, possibly having very fond memories of their younger years and relatives. if the moon is here, for example, there most likely exists a very emotional attachment to the mother or the early childhood, where nostalgia is very strong
when the fourth house ruler falls in the third house –
with the fourth house ruler falling in the third house, education and/or knowledge becomes of paramount importance. there may be an element of foreign-ness here, possibly due to the family being foreigners or from a different political background. there seems to be an emphasis on education and knowledge because this is what the family terms as important, and these natives inevitably start believing in good grades, high academic performance, and so on. depending on what planet the ruler is in, there may be different influences here also, as jupiter can sometimes suggest being a part of a monastery or going to a religious school; uranus can suggest being home schooled, so on and so forth. the understanding here however is that school makes up a good chunk of the family dynamic. along with that, the fourth house ruler in the third usually suggests a close relationship with siblings; perhaps siblings were very important to the upbringing of these natives in some way.
travel may be seen here, though is often more emphasised in the ninth house, as the ninth house is more indicative of foreign travel. still, however, the third house is still representative of movement, and natives with this placement may have travelled a lot or shown interest in cars, planes, etc., or even writing and education, which is something they may pursue in their own families going forward
when the fourth house ruler falls in the fourth house –
with the fourth house ruler falling in the fourth house, family definitely becomes an integral part of these natives and who they are. most commonly, these natives continue their legacy going forward, possibly even being part of a family business or career lineage that honours their heritage and/or family history/reputation. there generally is a tight closeness within the family, though this will depend on the planet in the fourth house. if negatively aspected in some way, there may be strife or conflict within the home, that has deeply impacted these natives in their own perceptions of family. the mother may have been very important to the upbringing of these natives, often having an umbilical-like connection with her, and whether this be through love or trauma will, again, depend on the natives' own experiences
there can be a matter of wanting to stay at home for a long time or wanting to maintain a similar family dynamic as these natives grow older. they typically have strong views on marriage and family, good or bad, but will act accordingly to their experiences in childhood. how they view children, to some extent, will also stem from their experiences in childhood. more positively, however, there tends to be a deeply profound connection with the mother or within the family; she may be wise, perhaps, or just very knowledgable, and this is something these natives appreciate in their own lives
I was watching some videos on sedna in gemini and her conjunction with uranus in gemini in june of 2026 that will follow into july 2027.
as sedna is representative of very deep change, I think collectively, she will have an impact on our communicational and technological affairs. her orbit is only around 11,500 years, meaning she has never come this close to the earth since the neolithic era! so her impact for this coming season will be felt. I think with the release of "the files" last year, and with the alien information coming out, there will most likely be more on the way regarding similar things.
natally, I think we should look to where sedna and uranus is in the chart. I think where sedna is will tell a lot about where we will experience change and transformation for the next year or so. changes to our career, love life, school life, or social life will be impacted, but in a way that is more evolutionary and smooth, than something like pluto, which would be something more sudden or mournful.
what do we think?
Hi! I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to ask if you do birth chart readings?
I can answer any question you have through the asks or through my messages, but if you want a full chart reading you can always buy one with me on ko-fi!
a general reading will give a brief overview of your chart and planets, ranging anywhere from five to even ten pages. more comprehensive readings will give a more in-depth review of your chart, planets, aspects, strengths, and weaknesses; this can range from anywhere to 35-40 pages. 🤗 thanks!
i‘m not sure if you already have posts about this, but what can you say about afflicted venus?
my venus is exactly conjunct lilith and pluto in the second house. it squares saturn in the 11th house and uranus in the 5th house, venus is in a tsquare here. (few good aspects aswell tho like sextile to neptune and moon).
i wonder how a venus like this with heavy aspects affects/shows up in one‘s love life or attraction?
thank you for your question and I hope you are well.
Venus conjuncting both Lilith and Pluto could suggest issues with your sexuality in the sense of: you might simply not know your real orientation, or maybe you feel ashamed of your sexuality, or perhaps you just don't understand your sexual identity well. it may be that you are actually very aware of your sexual identity, perhaps through youth where you were potentially exposed to an environment that promoted sexual things. as a whole, this combination in the 2h could suggest issues with your personal values and sexuality; maybe you lack concrete sexual values to relate to, and maybe you have a poor self–esteem as a result. maybe you tend to attract relationships that polarise you in some way, perhaps making you believe you want a relationship but actually don't because they make you feel restricted or because you have issues embracing your sexuality and confidence. I think this combination can manifest in a variety of ways, but the overall consensus here is that your sexuality will be of question here, and more particularly how you express it in your relationships. Saturn in the 11h may suggest feeling lonely or overlooked in society, perhaps difficulty making friends; Uranus in the 5h could suggest wanting to embrace your creativity and sexuality, but feeling restricted or at a loss in how you should, and who with
I have also observed with Venus aspecting Lilith or Pluto that there usually comes an abuse of one's sexuality, either by having one's sexuality abused or using one's sexuality to seduce and/or abuse others. just some very toxic sexual experiences here in general
if past dynamics are of any relevance, particularly the childhood home, Lilith conjuncting Venus could suggest early issues surrounding your sexuality and general femininity. you may struggle embodying your "divine feminine" because it is wounded in some way. conjuncting Pluto, there often is a series of lessons and transformations you will learn pertaining to your personal values and sexuality as you experience more and more relationships that try and liberate you from your comfort zone (Uranus in the 5h). you may be the picky type with your relationships but almost to the point of completely ostracising yourself from certain experiences. if on the contrary, you may be very insecure and jeopardise your own self–esteem to please others, almost like you are trying to prove your worth somehow to other people
some other "side effects" from an afflicted venus could be: attracting or being attracted to insecure people, being the "healer" for wounded people, or looking for people to heal you; also, trust issues, codependent patterns, or power dynamics between you and others may also arise
I always see Pluto-Venus aspects as relationships with a Plutonian nature, like these relationships will always embody some level of obsessiveness, control, and lust. perhaps your relationships are very intense in nature. whilst the Venus-Lilith-Pluto combination suggests a very strong sex appeal and beauty, you may inadvertently misuse it to get your way OR simply not utilise it enough because you are insecure deep inside. more positively, Venus aspecting the moon and Neptune could suggest a very imaginative and caring personality, especially in love, where you seek to care and provide for others; ideally, you are in tune with your sexuality and emotions, and you have a broad awareness of your partner's needs. you will attract relationships based on solid boundaries and values. negatively, you will attract partners that validate your insecurities and make you feel more secure in yourself, especially if material or financial matters are involved. there may be, to some extent, a refusal to change because of how ingrained some beliefs are. relationships will continually present similar lessons if you do not learn the first time round. if there are any negative experiences from childhood that are not acknowledged and healed, they may also show up in your relationship dynamics. as a whole, however, I think with Uranus in the 5h, there is a more innate rebellious energy that wants to embrace its more unconventional creative and sexual energies. there is simply a lack of understanding what one wants on a sexual and creative level, to express oneself more authentically
I hope this answered your question and I wish you the best!
#0046 when planets have no aspects
we always see interpretations of planets and asteroids with aspects, but what about those with none? does a planet or asteroid have any more or less influence is they have no aspecting bodies? planets and asteroids with no aspects can be interpreted differently, with a different energy field to those planets or asteroids that do have aspects
to have an unaspected planet is quite uncommon because of how imperative it is for a planet to be aspected in some way, either through minor aspects, a connection with the angles of the chart, midpoints, and so on. but to say a planet is unaspected is to say that the planet in question has no real major aspects within a reasonable orb to influence its energy. the general understanding with this topic is that planets or asteroids with aspects have a more controlled expression of energy. soft aspects will encourage harmony between planetary bodies. hard aspects will discourage harmony because of the conflict that arises when these two opposing personalities meet. on their own, however, these planetary bodies will most likely have no real expression of energy, apart from their signage and house. astrology may feel that whilst not necessary weak, these unaspected planets do not integrate easily with other components of the chart because of differing and often conflicting qualities that clash; yet at the same time, remain very distinctive in their nature because of how "individual" they are compared to those placements with major aspects and influences.
what is the better way? it depends on personal opinion. with a planet with no aspects, it's apt to concentrate its energy in one emphasised area. there are no blending of principles or qualities that elevate its innate expression. whilst the planet is encouraged to express itself more clearly, there still exists a lack of connection with other, more influential energies within the chart.
if we take the sun and uranus, for example, and see just how influential an aspect between these two can be. with the ego (sun), there exists a need for a personality to relate to. there needs to be a set of personal values, boundaries, and principles to relate to. there needs to be something that "lets me know this is who I am and can guide me to my real purpose and self." there is a real need for meaning and justification in life. without an ego or personality to relate to, the sun may feel very purposeless and not driven to achieving anything. life simply lacks meaning. if aspected by uranus, for example, there comes a real drive to establishing one's presence because of how objective and humanitarian one becomes. the sun believes its purpose is found through its relationships with others, more particularly the collective, where it can express its desire for knowledge and justification. suddenly the sun becomes hugely principled and finds its truth by expressing itself in its communities. it becomes individual, totally bound by its strong belief in the self. these aspects can be hard or soft, and reaching this totally individual state can largely depend on other aspects and influences. but for simplicity, the existing aspects to both can help identify other themes and influences that help shape the other.
if it was the case that the sun stood on its own with no real aspects in the 11h, for example, it could mean that the sun is largely influenced by its social groups. there could be a vastly general feeling of purpose, and maybe these people express vaguely uranian qualities. without aspects, the sun is not encouraged to express itself in a multifaceted manner of aspected planets (i.e. using mercury to express its ideas, or maybe mars to encourage movement and action), but in a way that is very narrowly focused. there's no real drive in achieving something specific, but maybe a focus around the collective and social groups only, which give these natives a satisfactory meaning to life. on the surface this sounds great, but turning more inwardly, this may suggest that these natives have no real internal connection to their own intuition and sense of purpose of self-expression, meaning they tend to follow the rules of others, and seem to think and participate in a collective hive mind. add mars or pluto to the mix and you have somebody who is driven to enact change and create healing for others, perhaps through advocacy groups. add mercury to the mix and you have somebody with objective and creative skills. the identity becomes one with multiple layers; there is a lot more depth this way.
if we take a look at mercury and analyse the way in which we think and express our opinions, we will see our mercury is largely influenced by its signage and house AND its aspects surrounding it. mars, for example, encourages a more spontaneous and robust way of thinking. negatively aspected, there may be some element of anger issues or an easily irritable nature. more positively, this aspect can create a very driven and determined learner; somebody who wants to excel in education and in the communication realm. somebody who has good networking skills and can easily make friends wherever they go. this energy of action further motivates mercury to act more driven and principled; to be more action-oriented towards things, and to be more challenging in the sense of, questioning different opinions and reasons for why. if mercury is aspected by venus, there comes a very impartial and lovely way of thinking about things; these natives want peace and harmony, and will think very positively, in general. thus when our mercury-venus is expressed we may be more social and optimistic in nature. mercury on its own, however, will have no real depth to its thinking; it may be impartial, but also very boring. different planetary aspects offer a diversity of interests, opinions, and beliefs that can enrich the way these natives approach life. as a whole, an unaspected mercury can feel disconnected from their own mental sphere, and in their social sphere with others, where they might operate in a hive mind process.
things can get a lot more nuanced with planets such as jupiter, neptune, and pluto are concerned. for one, jupiter is a hugely expansive planet, with a desire to broaden and understand something on a more philosophical level. the house and signage of jupiter may suggest where in our lives this expansion happens. when jupiter is harshly aspected there may be difficulty in asserting the balance between delusion and reality as there often exists a compulsive need to go big or go home. it's why gambling is such a popular interpretation of jupiter. when jupiter has no real aspects, this desire for expansion can get out of hand and traverse a multitude of areas in life that don't need expansion. things can get dramatic really quickly. if jupiter's energy was to be focused in one area only, there would be a lot more success. when jupiter is aspected by something, say venus or the moon, there is a desire to understand oneself and others emotionally; the family or friend groups will be big, because this is where these natives find their purpose and emotional fulfilment. it's what spiritually completes these people. with uranus, the jupiter may find spiritual fulfilment in being more humanitarian and traveling. there seems to be an innate desire for more principles, education, and knowledge. experience, as a whole, is what's being sought for by these planets. this co-existence can work in a very positive and profound way where these energies are mixed and used in a way that is clear and cohesive.
if we take venus and mars, we can see this partnership work out miraculously well, despite being opposing forces. without aspects, venus tends to be very submissive and emotional. there is a difficulty in forming a concrete romantic identity or sexuality. there will be a leniency on peace and harmony; action will be seen as disruptive. laziness will be the default living arrangement for this planet. if aspecting mars, then, there may be a desire for peace, yes, but mars will move and act to create this harmony and peace. the sexuality will be defined because of how these natives understand and express their sexualities. their relationships will be more passionate and driven because of how mars and venus compliment one another. where mars craves action and fire, venus wants peace and consistency. with the two, they work together to create a very stable, yet passionate, duo. if mars has no aspects, this energy will simply be too difficult to handle, and there will be a lot of misdirected energy and focus. mars, depending on its house, will have some form of direction; but without the correct stimuli (such as uranus, the sun, or moon) there exists no real purpose or "challenge" that enacts change from within. when mars is negatively aspected there is tremendous difficulty in doing something or getting somewhere but, with the right perseverance and determination, the fight is always worth it. harsh aspects are crucial to building oneself, which a lack of aspects totally counteracts.
the presence of aspects can truly help gauge the challenges and the gifts we have in our lives. harsh aspects will always show where the character development is; where we might experience the most difficulty, but also where the most amount of reward exists. softer aspects show us the natural gifts and rare qualities we have; what works for us naturally, and how we can use these soft aspects to our advantage. a lack of aspects can, in one way, be a good thing; in another, however, be very misdirected, purposeless, and simply difficult to access.
hi! how are you?
i would like to ask your interpretation in 2 placements of my sr chart and what it could mean
asc in gemini with venus in it
stellium in 12th in taurus (sun, moon, mercury, uranus is in 12th house but its in gemini too, so im not sure if it counts)
thank you for your ask and I hope you are well.
having your rising in Gemini could mean the way you perceive yourself, how others perceive you, and your overall life direction will revolve around the themes of communication, travel, and education. with Venus in the 1h, you may have a strong desire for socialising and communicating with others; maybe you learn a lot about yourself through the interactions and relationships you have with other people. you may have a strong desire to be liked by others, and to like others, because of your social awareness, and your desire to feel involved and liked in your social groups and environment(s). with that, there may have been an emphasis on school or communication throughout your life; perhaps this is something that has been a running theme in your life. usually with our rising signs there comes some history with that sign... if it was in Leo, then there could have been self-esteem issues during childhood; Capricorn, could have been financial hardship or a lack of independence, etc... it goes on. with Gemini, there may have been a lot of moving around, an emphasis on the value of communication, your intelligence, and your overall education. maybe some emphasis on school or travel? the overarching theme of this placement is learning how you navigate the world through travel and interaction. in a solar return chart, however, this could signify some Gemini lessons coming along to teach you something from your childhood. this will be a temporary period, though transformational all the same. with Gemini on the rising, there is an innate curiosity as to how life works; with Venus in it, there comes a means in finding this "truth" or philosophy by drawing you into more social groups and friendships that help you learn and understand these questions in your head. another thing with Venus in the 1h is being very aware of your appearance; though whether this be in a good or bad way will depend on your own perspective.
the overall energy of this placement will be in taking more opportunities to socialise and extend your personal network(s). if there is an interest in going to school or traveling, you should also take the chance. through experimenting with different things you'll be closer to achieving your own philosophy and what life means for you going forward
with the sun, moon, and Mercury in the 12h, and under the rulership of Taurus, there may be a very strong feeling of wanting stability and to understand yourself in your life; maybe you are very introspective in nature, and that would further support your Gemini rising quality of being curious and reflective. with Mercury experiencing its fall in Pisces or in the 12h, you may struggle enabling your more creative or spiritual side or, alternatively, there may be an imbalanced force of rationality and creativity wherein you find it hard maintaining a level ground between what delusion is, and what real life is. I think with your chart ruler (Mercury) being in the 12h, a lot of what you learn and understand about yourself and your creativity, spirituality, and overall life purpose will come from 12h themes, such as finding your personal faith and philosophy to relate to, as well as experiencing some form of identity loss, building of values and boundaries, and traveling to learn more about yourself and who you are. to find your truth you must enable your social and "outgoing" (I put that word in quotations because whilst you seem more confident and outgoing from your rising sign, you most likely actually feel very shy or, at the least, very cautious to strangers) qualities to take the opportunities that allow you to explore yourself and life.
for the next year or so, with the sun in the 12h, you will be very much drawn inwards to fully analyse and see where in your personality/ego can you make changes (boundaries, values, etc.) to further align yourself to your most ideal self. with that, what you really want out of your future. traveling and doing some humanitarian work can help you, because these kinds of things can truly allow you to gauge other people's experiences and compare them to your own; these other experiences can also allow you to understand life better, and how it works in the grand scheme of things
Uranus in the 12h can represent finding your individuality or truth through means of traveling and your independence. perhaps there is, to some extent, a social network or responsibility you have. because of Venus in the 1h, and the sun and Uranus in the 12h, you may be somewhat involved in social groups or volunteering groups that allow you to express your curiosities and feelings for humanity. if not, maybe you should look into it! nonetheless, is Uranus conjuncts the sun, then there comes a strong inner responsibility for finding your independence and "unique self" – what makes you stand out from others. you may be very aware of how different you are to others because of how odd you feel compared to your friends or social groups, but the purpose of Uranus is to show you how influential your personal individuality can be amongst others. with Uranus aspecting the sun, moon, and Mercury this way, then there comes a personal way of doing things. usually people with Uranus conjuncting the sun or moon are full of principles; they will leave people at the drop of a hat if they feel their boundaries or personal "truth" are/is not being appreciated by others. these are people who can cut off others for not feeling appreciated. in more negative manifestations, however, these are also the type of people who try to fit in with others; they try to be liked by other people because they feel so insecure in their own skin, and try to seek for external validation to reassure they're really not weird or odd. there are two extremes to everything, including this placement. with Uranus aspecting Mercury, there may be a pull towards following your own path and life. with these planets in Taurus, however, there may also be an instability from within where you feel stuck in following a set routine and plan for your life, and when movement occurs, you feel quite shakeable and insecure. there most certainly needs to be more flexibility and openness to change and doing new things.
I hope this answered your question and I wish you the best!
hi! i hope you’re doing well. for the ko-fi reading, when we send a tip, would you prefer that we include the information in a private message, or will you be reaching out to us for it?
thank you for your ask! 😊 I would prefer you send me your information in the private message. I prefer the tip system over the shop system simply because I can easily communicate with you through chat should there be any questions or problems. thank you!
Hello! I'm writing as a follow up to your Chiron placements post. First of all, thanks for sharing your analysis in such detail! Second, how would you interpret the effect of a retrograde placement on Chiron? I have it in my natal chart & I'm not sure how to interpret it; the info online on this topic is super limited. Would retrograde make it harder to heal the wound unless it's activated by transiting planets? Thanks in advance!
thank you for your question and I hope you are well.
Chiron goes into retrograde for approximately five months out of the year and will, most definitely, have a significant impact on one's natal chart because of how influential a retrograde is in general. with Chiron going in retrograde, there is definitely a core need to analyse and heal a set of issues and flaws within the self. Chiron and asteroids are definitely deeply activated by transits and things like eclipses, for example, but can still have a lingering effect in your day-to-day life, such as in your relationships with others, for example. the signage and house of your Chiron could explain certain dynamics you have with other people based on certain flaws or insecurities you have within. sometimes these dynamics can be seen in your career or family environments. most commonly, though, these are seen in your personal (social and romantic) relationships. synastry charts can be used to determine how your Chiron may be aspected in a way that both heals and damages you. otherwise, Chiron will definitely be influenced by transiting planets, especially planets experiencing their return, that are also aspecting Chiron in some way. there comes an element of healing and change during these times, and there certainly needs to be an openness taken with these changes. these changes will revolve around the planet(s) experiencing change, sure, but also how Chiron will be affected, and what kinds of insecurities may come up during this time.
nonetheless, however, because Chiron is present in everybody's charts, and represents the wounded parts of ourselves, every single one will have to heal and change certain flaws in themselves to better understand themselves, and to step into their best selves. it's true that Chiron, or any planet/asteroid, experiences a more dire need for change and healing when in retrograde. this is because when the movement is going "backwards", (i.e. planets/asteroids are perceived to be going in reverse in their orbit) the positive basically turns negative. this is a symbolic act that will prompt natives with their placements in retrograde to take more time and effort to heal certain parts of themselves they are unhappy with.
I hope this answered your question and I wish you the best!
hi everyone! 👋 I have recently opened a ko-fi account and am offering paid reading services to those who are interested. this paid reading service will allow me to read for those who want a general reading or want a question asked about their birth chart, for a small fee. comprehensive readings are also provided at a slightly higher fee.
I am also looking at using ko-fi as a page for discussing possible trends and forecasts happening in the world today. you can let me know what you think about this
this new paid method will allow me to answer any and every single inquiry asked and to read people's charts. otherwise, things will be business as usual on this page and I will continue doing what I always do here.

#0045 planets through the houses: (7h) n.02
the seventh house (7h) is representative of our social and romantic lives (our social and romantic relationships, as well as marriage/long-term commitment). where the first house is representative of who we are on the inside, the seventh house is representative of who we are with others; what others have that we don't, and how these other people complement us. the first house, being the ascendent, is our own individuality and overall life direction; the seventh house, being the descendent, is our duality with our partners, and how our partners may complete our life direction.
the seventh house will always be in the opposite sign of the first house. this is representative of the opposing traits of our ascendent that we may repress within us, but our partners (and marriage) will reflect. to some extent, the descendent will be the house of traits and qualities we need to embrace within ourselves. this way a total balance is complete within our charts and lives ✨
planets and asteroids in the seventh house will influence the 7h fractionally. these planets will help determine the real strength or weakness of the seventh house by assigning the house with certain traits and influences that will affect marginal, though nonetheless potent, qualities/traits and values of this house. what this means is that, if the seventh house is under the rulership of an extroverted sign, the presence of the moon, neptune, pluto, or even saturn in the 7h could affect this social and outgoing house into something more introspective and observant, thus influencing these natives to approach certain scenarios through a sensible and cautious lens, thanks to these planets. the same goes if the 7h ruler is shy and introverted, but planets like the sun, jupiter, or even venus are present. the result is this seemingly humble and timid character becomes more extroverted in small but influential ways

#0027 planets through the different houses (9h) n.01
sun in 7h –
if your sun is in the 7h, your identity will mostly revolve around your social groups and your romantic relationships. you may be social and extroverted in nature with a strong desire to be loved and liked by others. naturally you may be quite popular in your social settings, perhaps being the type to attract a large crowd or group of friends wherever you go. you have a likeable personality, perhaps due to how kind and gentle you are to others; others find it easy to open up to you, to talk to you, and to be friends with you. in ideal manifestations, this placement has a fair and just stance on the world; you may value justice and equality, and you know how to be impartial towards everything. being level-headed, rational, and objective, you tend to make a good negator/mediator.
your desire to like others, and be liked in return, is reflected in your kind, humble, generous, and people-pleasing personality. you tend to centre yourself around relationships, particularly of romantic quality, where you find your sense of purpose and general direction in the company of others. things seem to revolve around what others are doing, what they want to do, or where they're going. you may not enjoy being alone, and even if you do, you may have a strong notion on wanting or having a partner in your life. typically with this placement, your desire for love encompasses everything you do, and your desire for a partner is what defines the rest of your personality. many of your values, boundaries, and perceptions of yourself revolve around your romantic life, especially in more negative circumstances, where you care a lot (and maybe even obsessively) about what others think, thus forming your opinions of yourself based on how others perceive you. it's why you may have trouble standing your ground, defending yourself, or making boundaries clear to others. you want to bend to the favour of others, mostly because your value and personal worth is reliant on how others perceive your worth and value. the sun experiences its fall in this house, meaning the sun will express its more weaker energies here. the challenge in following your own dreams, goals, values, or even company can cause you to become overly vain and chase attention and validation from others.
this placement isn't all bad, however, because still, at the end of the day, 7h suns have a very popular, attractive, and receptive nature. they are harmonious and graceful, and have a strong eye for aesthetics. they tend to have an optimistic view on life. if you approach relationships with strong boundaries and principles, and have a strong belief in your own abilities and worth, you will naturally see and use relationships as a way of fortifying and improving your already solid and successful life, rather than replacing your inner void with the presence and attention of other people
with the sun in the 7h, natives could attract partners that are confident, self-assured, ambitious, and creative in nature. their personalities could be more extroverted and curious; perhaps they're popular or just very involved in social groups. negatively aspected, these partners could be arrogant, egotistical, lack a spiritual identity, or just be very insecure and shallow in themselves. depending on how these partners manifest, these natives need to learn the importance of maintaining their own identity and individuality in their relationships. they must depend on their own company and validation. this involves splitting from their partners and maintaining the balance of good and bad in the relationship
moon in 7h –
if your moon is in the 7h, how you process and express your emotions will closely relate with your friendships and romantic partnerships. natives with this placement tend to place a lot of emotional reliance on their partnerships, sometimes more than they should, because of the joy and security they have in these partnerships. they may enjoy the idea of love and romance simply because of all the things associated with love, romance, and dating. with that, these natives tend to be very loyal and devotional to their partners; if they manage to find the right one, they become emotional powerhouses with a deeply driven commitment and passion. as a 7h moon native, you may find your form of security through your relationships more than in your own company. even if you do prefer your own company, you definitely still experience a strong fondness and understanding for your friends and loved ones. there is a natural grace to this placement, possibly because of its reciprocative, social, and emotionally expressive nature. you may be popular or just very liked by others. there is an essence of friendship with this placement – these people love having friends and partners, and they make very good friends and partners, too
if this placement manifests negatively, natives may expect a lot of lessons regarding their personal space and individuality. despite being fair and just in nature, they may be the type to act overly cautious or bend easily to the feelings of others because of how sensitive they are to other people's needs. there exists little to no backbone with this placement, so many of these natives will have to learn how to grow one; i.e. to create and stick by their boundaries, to defend themselves from toxic and negative people, and to rely on their own emotions more. with that, if these natives place too much focus on their partners, then they risk losing themselves in the process, so much so they begin adopting the emotions and desires of their partners. they may be overly obsessed with the idea of love and romance, possibly even romanticising their partners to be something they really are not. the desire to be liked by others lays heavy on their mind; they want to be accepted by others, rather than be seen as social outcasts of some sort.
for some natives, the idea of social ostracism is scary because of how involved these natives want to feel in their groups. it may be why they are so driven to please other people, rather than following their own lead
natives with this placement may attract partners who are more emotional in nature; they could be compassionate, empathetic, intuitive, and very humble. these partners could be more maternal in nature, perhaps taking on the role of a mother. they may be family-oriented or just have very strong values surrounding the concept of family and loyalty. legacy is important to them. more negatively, they could be overly emotional, sentimental, and perhaps hot and cold. they could be irrational with their emotions, perhaps too clingy or needy. they could be moody.
mercury in 7h –
with mercury in the 7h comes a drive to be well liked and noticed by others. typically with this social combination there is an inclination to learn from others – how others think and why. there's a pull towards interacting and engaging with others for the sake of understanding the self also; these natives may simply learn a lot about themselves through the eyes and experiences of others. much of their mental and social development will come from their friends and romantic relationships, where they learn certain cues, values, beliefs, or perceptions to apply in their own personal and romantic lives. for some of these natives, there may be an interest in being close friends before committing to their partners as lovers. maybe they need a certain form of mental stimulation to feel happy and satisfied in their relationships. as a 7h mercury, you may find relationships to be more about how and what you can learn about yourself and others through experiencing different dynamics and things with these partners... but for you to feel truly happy, you must feel as though you are being mentally fulfilled; to have your curiosities and social needs met. you may become bored if you lack the mental stimulation to keep you tied down to your partners.
one of the important lessons for this placement will be in becoming more impartial in how these people view things. the tendency to look at things from the perspective of others can damage their own opinions and experiences. they may unintentionally adopt a hive mind mentality, whereby they think according to what their social group(s) think. they may share similar values or beliefs to their friends but only because these beliefs and/or values seem to have some element of truth in them, even though these natives don't really relate with them at all. they must mentally separate themselves from the hive mind and have their own opinions and contributions. along with that, as a 7h mercury, you could meet a lot of your partners through friends abroad, or through traveling. as these natives are typically educated and cultured on other people's backgrounds, they tend to have more exotic preferences, possibly dating those of different nationalities to them
natives with this placement may attract very logical/rational, humble, though opinionated and sly partners. although their partners are extroverted, social, perhaps humanitarian, intelligent, and well spoken, they could also be very demanding or high maintenance in the sense of: they need a lot of attention and stimulation to keep them tied down. maybe some are spontaneous (traveling) in nature, and maybe some are more academics, holistics, and information focused.
venus in 7h –
if your venus is in the 7h, you may be the popular or well-liked type, possibly with many friends and romantic partners. for you to be in love with somebody, you require a friendship or a relationship wherein the two of you understand each other really well. with a graceful, humble, and devotional approach towards relationships, you appreciate relationships that give you the peace, harmony, and security you innately desire. there's no real desire for competitive, overly spontaneous, or eccentric relationships; rather, a desire for something real and pure, stable, and wholehearted. many of these natives desire an idealised version of love wherein their partner(s) are something out of a movie – perfect, clean, clever, the most beautiful, and so on. for men, in particular, they tend to want very feminine women; for women, they tend to want men who embody more feminine traits or, alternatively, just understand their emotions and needs very well. in essence, there is a strong desire to pamper and be pampered, as well as to love and be loved in return.
many of these natives may struggle in their relationships mostly because of how they perceive relationships and accordingly express their values and standards. if negatively aspected, this placement could be very shallow and vain in relationships, purely basing their values, ideals, and standards based on what others want, rather than what they relate to themselves. their desire to be loved by others will bend them towards the favour of others. some of these people will have no spine at all, and will have no boundaries whatsoever, thus becoming very susceptible to being used by others. they may learn a lot about their individuality, personal purpose, values, and boundaries from their relationships, where their relationships will continually challenge them to take their own lead and initiative. for these natives to be happy in their relationships, they must be in relationships that validate their need for attention, love, harmony, and peace. but ironically, if these natives are so insecure in themselves, and if they base their worth and validation on others, these relationships will not be peaceful or happy at all, all because they are chasing love and partners for superficial reasons, and to replace their own inner void, rather than as a way of improving their already happy and balanced lives
with venus in this house, these natives could attract people who are more feminine or emotional in nature. they could be humble, popular, well liked by others, or very involved in certain social groups; they could also be graceful, very kind, and they may think a lot about their appearance and/or identities around others. more negatively, they could be vain and superficial; they could lack confidence and an inner security in themselves. they could also be overly go-lucky, perhaps indecisive. sometimes these partners could struggle with being "on the fence"; their impartiality can become a real threat to their relationship with these natives
hello! I hope u don’t find this question bothersome, but how would you view a Leo asc in a solar return chart considering Leo is also the sign of the natal 12th house? I see my solar return chart has a great upper hemisphere focus, but there’s also Jupiter in the 12h and Pluto opposite my asc. What feel would you get for such placements in a general sense? Tysm 😭🙏🏼
thank you for your question and I hope you are well.
the 12h centres around loss and grief, particularly childhood loss, where certain experiences happen at an impressionable age that leave a mark for healing later in life. with Leo as the natal ruler, it could manifest as lacking confidence or inner security as a child, possibly because of a lack of creative and emotional support in childhood. maybe you felt overly shy or awkward in social settings, or maybe you just lacked the confidence to embrace your real self, thus imprinting this imperfect/flawed perception of the self in your adulthood. maybe now your biggest lesson is learning your value and worth, and just how your value extends beyond your past experiences and what other people think. additionally, a lot of your healing will revolve around how you form your ego and express it; how you express your authentic qualities to others, and how you establish your uniqueness in your life. also, how you creatively express yourself in a way unique to you.
in a solar return chart, Leo on the rising could suggest a year that entails plenty of lessons surrounding your confidence and ability to express yourself authentically and creatively. this is very much a "me, me, me!" moment for you, because this is your opportunity to let yourself truly shine amongst others. this is where you take your own lead, follow your intuition, and pursue your goals. it's where your ambition should run hot and determined in achieving your goals and your happiness. ideally aspected, this suggests a very successful and very much confident time for you. more negatively, however, it could pose as a challenge whereby you feel the push to do something or go somewhere, but feel restricted for some reason. with Pluto aspecting your rising, there could be some issues revolving around your willingness to let go of what no longer serves you. maybe you feel overly tied to your past, or maybe you simply lack the confidence you need to go forward. there's a resistance towards change, and with Pluto opposing the rising, it can only mean Pluto is in the 7h. perhaps you feel strange to take your own lead or pursue your own dreams because of how aware you are of other people's opinions and perceptions of you. indeed, things like that can certainly tie one down to staying in the same ("safe") place, but it won't get you anywhere, ever. why care so much – really?
Jupiter in the 12h could introduce some traveling or moving abroad. there could be an interest in simply broadening your knowledge on spirituality or different cultures and traditions. perhaps you'll find your new hobby or interest from going abroad. it could also mean you might meet make some relationships abroad that teach you a lot about your own self. if traveling is not involved, this placement could simply suggest an expansion of your spirituality and faith; maybe you will decide to take a more introspective approach towards your beliefs... maybe you want to change your life somehow; maybe you want to pursue a different ideology or philosophy in your life. whatever it may be, your spirituality (intuition) will certainly guide you as you go forward.
if your solar return chart has a great upper focus it means your external affairs are emphasised through the actions you take now. for 12h it means traveling or engaging with others in a spiritual way (volunteering, traveling, multiculturalism, spirituality, whatever); for 11h it means friendship and community (new friends, having a higher, more defined place in society); for 10h it means new responsibilities and career prospects (trying to earn more money, become more stable in your career, or to have a higher social standing and responsibility in your life); for 9h it means traveling and broadening your knowledge; for 8h it means learning about yourself through your intimate relationships; for 7h it means learning the value of balance in your relationships, and what it means to maintain your individuality in them. these all vary depending on what planets and asteroids you have, and this should only paint a general picture.
I hope this answered your question and I wish you the best!
what can you say about strong neptune influence in the birth chart? its not my dominant planet but aspects all my personal planets and i feel the effects mostly negatively.
sun, mars and ascendant (in scorpio) square neptune (in aqua), and moon conjunct neptune. don‘t get me started with the identity issues. anyway i was wondering if you could go through these aspects further💕
thank you for your ask and I hope you are well.
with Scorpio, Mars, and Pluto as your chart ruler, life, and specifically your identity, may feel like an ever-evolving thing, especially because you tend to internalise a lot of things that happen around you; your childhood, friends, relationships, career, etc., that pertains to how you form your values, beliefs, perceptions of yourself and others, and your overall direction in life. you may feel as though life needs a specific meaning or reason, and perhaps you see life through a spiritual lens more than a rationalised one. with Neptune squaring it, identity issues may come in the form of misunderstanding yourself or feeling as though you will never truly know yourself, thus possibly making you feel like an outcast in society. the overarching experience with this placement will be in finding it difficult to find meaning, or maybe doing things for the sake of finding meaning and, sometimes, there may be a lingering feeling of never feeling good enough, particularly because of your lack of self-understanding. maybe you feel as though you have to fit in a specific mould of a person, rather than expressing who you are. you may try fit in with others because this is how you feel you can fit in with society as a whole. finding your own path can be hard, especially if you lack confidence and faith within you.
with moon conjuncting Neptune, and the sun and Ascendent squaring Neptune, how you grew up may have had a significant impact on your later life. for example, with moon conjuncting Neptune, there typically exists a close and influential relationship with the mother, and whether in a good or bad way, will depend entirely on your experience. if good, then this mother may have been a motivational and spiritual person and teacher. she could've been deeply compassionate, empathetic, and sensitive to the needs of others. if bad, then there may have been some level of emotional elusiveness within the family, possibly even physical distance, that has made you rely on yourself from young. there may have been a dynamic within the family wherein you never really got to discover and live your real identity. maybe the lack of emotional reassurance in childhood has caused you to anxiety and codependent tendencies in your later life. the list goes on. you might suffer with insecurity and self-esteem issues, self-worth issues, and so on (sun & moon aspecting the Ascendent).
with Mars squaring Neptune, there usually is a lack of drive and competitive spirit, especially if there exists a lack of inner worth and ambition. this isn't to say you have no ambition whatsoever, but it does mean that you may find it difficult to get the momentum going with things that don't appeal to your version of what's right or has real purpose. maybe you dislike superficiality because of how little it explains things to you. maybe you want to pursue life in a spiritual way, but feel limited in doing so because you don't know where to start. in saying that, then, you might completely lose direction in your life by chasing the wrong things for the sake of finding meaning. the attachment to reasoning and purpose is, at times, what costs you the experiences that help shape your identity. sometimes things happen purely for the sake of experience and learning, and not because of some divinely orchestrated event for some divine and spiritual meaning. for you to feel happier and content in yourself, there needs to be less of a reliance on the external forces, such as God, the divine, or the universe, and more on the internal, so you, and what, or who, you are as a person. you may be interested in following the more creative things in life, maybe you want to live through art in some way. explore that interest, and see where it gets you.
on a lesser note, the topic of sexuality can emerge when analysing how Mars, the moon, and the Ascendent are aspected. with the square and conjunction in question, you may feel emotionally and sexually disconnected from others; perhaps there exists a lack of sexual drive within you, and you feel quite hopeless in romance as a result. maybe there simply is no interest, or maybe you are interested, but find it hard to truly emotionally and sexually connect and relate with others, because of how unstable you feel inside. typically with Scorpio Ascendents, part of their learning comes from how they may shift their detached and unemotional gaze on life to something more intimate and spiritual, and usually those with this Ascendent will learn a lot about themselves through the relationships they have with others, especially romantic ones, where their need for control and power are shifted into something more personal. with this Neptunian force within your chart, everything may feel clouded or somewhat vague in your life, maybe even unattainable, but most definitely are attainable with real effort in trying to simply live with flow, prioritising experience and growth, rather than meaning for everything. as Neptune typically brings loss, hurt, healing, or trauma in its aspects, there may be an element of trauma in your life that needs healing and moving on from. the tendency to internalise things needs to shift into something more productive and healing for the self. you must look at the things you are unhappy with in your life and plan real moves to help you move on from feeling so inadequate, unstable, and directionless in your life! you can shift Neptune's energy to be something more transformative and healing – but you need to be forgiving and patient with yourself!
thanks for your ask and I wish you the best moving forward! 🫂
#0044 your descendent in the different signs
your ascendent/descendent makes up 2 of the 4 importance cusps of your birth chart, with the ascendent being the first cusp, and the descendent being the third. the two cusps lay horizontally within the day (1-6) and night (7-12) time halves of the chart.
most commonly, the descendent is interpreted as the qualities we seek in others. these are the qualities and characteristics we don't have, but subconsciously seek in our relationships. where the ascendent is symbolic of our own individuality, the descendent is symbolic of the duality between us and our partners, and how we fit as two halves to create one person. what's more, the descendent may be representative of our general relationship dynamics, or the real potential of them.
in some interpretations, the sign of the descendent are the qualities you deny, repress, or ignore within your personality. as the sign of the descendent is always the opposite of your ascendent, these qualities you deny are literally the opposite of what you want to identify as. to some extent, then, it may have some shadow element to it, where these qualities, despite us ignoring or repressing them, remain wildly curious to us, as we inadvertently search for these in others. in essence, there is a "opposites attract" sort of magnetism that teaches us the value of embracing all sides to ourselves, positive and negative.

aries descendent (libra ascendent) –
aries is ruled by mars, so having an aries descendent means your descendent ruler is mars; therefore the energy of mars is presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of mars is associated with competition, aggression, drive, and sex or lust.
where libra sits on the ascendent, natives may feel very drawn towards living peaceful and harmonious lives. they may have an easygoing, likeable, and very popular nature amongst others, especially in large social settings. generally speaking, they are very friendly and adaptable people. as they are often concerned with fairness and justice, their approach towards equality may cost them certain values and boundaries as they try to fit in with others. the need to be liked and loved by others can propel these people to act in ways that do not honour what they actually think and feel. simply, they become doormats for others, as they lack a backbone to defend themselves by, and following what others are doing and thinking instead. the general lesson with this placement is in becoming more assertive, competitive, and driven for change, rather than remaining placid and overly vague with things.
in saying that, natives with aries on the descendent may subconsciously repress their need for spontaneous change, action, and drive. they may feel fearful of taking more action in their lives because they fear disrupting the stability and peace of their lives. in relationships, they may fall easily and love hard, and inevitably avoid relationships for how they make them feel. to some extent, these natives may see relationships as a competition, as this is where their real arian drive comes out, and where they feel the thirst for real pursuit. aries on the descendent encourages them to be more assertive in themselves, to be more daring. they may attract people who rile them up; who truly challenge their superficiality and constant need for attention. what attracts them to these natives is how their certainty balances out their indecisiveness, how their athleticism is admirable, and how exciting their sexual presence is.
where the libra wants peace, the aries wants competition. where the libra wants to be understood and liked by others, the aries wants individuality and to be free from external control. where the libra wants neutrality, the aries wants power and authority. libra ascendents may purposely reject the notions of being competitive, ambitious, and more powerful because of the "inequality" it may bring amongst others, and because, on the outside, it goes against their personal values. but this is what will consistently come through in their relationships until they learn to balance their lesser evils.
the overarching experience and lesson with this placement will be: experiencing partners that are dominant and not afraid to put up a fight. these natives will be tested in just how well they can stand by their own values, boundaries, and principles, and just how far they can bend before they break and bend to others' needs. their relationships will be intensely passionate and emotionally engaging, and these natives must learn to ride more with the wave, rather than against it. their need to over-emphasise peace can cost them the real experience(s) of love, its messiness, and what it means to embrace the shadow self through others.
taurus descendent (scorpio ascendent) –
taurus is ruled by venus, so having a taurus descendent means your descendent ruler is venus; therefore the energy of venus is presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of venus is associated with peace and harmony, balance, luxury, values, self-worth, and sexuality.
where scorpio is on the ascendent, natives may feel drawn to living a life that is private/secretive, with much of their life direction revolving around finding and understanding themselves on a deeply profound level. these natives may find themselves experiencing a series of personal events that transform how they think, in what they believe, and how they relate to themselves and others. thus, it seems as though they are on a never-ending cycle of healing and evolving to achieve a higher level of self-awareness and actualisation. this innate belief in the unknown, divine, religious/spiritual, fuels their pursuit in finding themselves and their purpose in life. the issue, however, is when these emotions and need to understand the self becomes more intrusive in nature, perhaps becoming overwhelmingly controlling, manipulative, and deeply insecure. with a lack of identity and confidence in the self, these natives may spend a lot of their lives searching for deeper meaning, but also express themselves in a way that is not truly reflective of who they are. they may strive for power for the sake of feeling in control over others. the focus with scorpio on the ascendent and taurus on the descendent is finding the balance between the rational and mystical, which is often very difficult.
in saying that, natives with this placement may subconsciously repress their sexualities and identities in fear of feeling rejected or perceived wrong. what this means is that those with scorpio on the ascendent may feel as though life is out to get them; that everything is a test of character and, having experienced so much betrayal and mistrust, they may feel shy towards the more grounded and physical elements of human nature: intimacy, love, and relationships. they may purposely avoid their feelings because of how attached they may become. yet subconsciously they seek for somebody who may ground their intensity; somebody who can understand their need for such physical and spiritual closeness; somebody who wants to devour and be devoured. taurus on the descendent will continually trigger and challenge these natives to embrace what it truly means to be physical with somebody – what it means to live and love on a level that is grounded and more simple. in relationships, this placement can grow overly controlling and emotionally intrusive, constantly interjecting themselves into the lives of their partners. their chaotic, destructive, and transformative energy is turned into something more mellow. being simple, uncomplicated, patient, and calm, these partners balance and bring down the extreme qualities of these natives.
where the scorpio wants challenge, taurus wants stability. where the scorpio wants chaos and destruction, taurus wants healing and consistency. in essence, this placement truly is about balancing the evil and good.
the overarching experience and lesson with this placement will be in these natives understanding the importance of the physical elements of human nature, inasmuch the spiritual/metaphysical. these natives tend to internalise the things that happen to them because of their naturally introspective personalities that often spiral into overthinking and other destructive patterns. these natives must not take everything so personally, but be open to experience, which is what they innately search for in others. to love and be loved truly and wholeheartedly; in a way that is healing and refreshing, rather than dehumanising or chaotic. these natives must be open to experiencing things on a simpler and more grounded and physical scale. their lesson will revolve around healing their own traumas and patterns and learning how to accept the simpler elements of relationships, and life in general.
cancer descendent (capricorn ascendent) –
cancer is ruled by the moon, so having a cancer descendent means your descendent ruler is the moon; therefore the energy of the moon is presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of the moon is associated with emotional vulnerability, the psyche, karmic debts, maternity, and childhood.
with capricorn on the ascendent, natives may instinctively feel drawn towards living a life that prioritises responsibility and social success, often feeling drawn towards achieving a high position in society or in their personal lives. there is a readiness for work, so these natives often find themselves buried in work for the sake of achieving stability and consistency in their lives. they may intentionally avoid their more impulsive and intuitive feelings simply because of their rational perceptions of themselves, others, and the world around them. with saturn as the chart ruler, these natives are very humble in nature, yet very restrictive and diligent all the same. they may prohibit themselves from more spontaneous opportunities or things that challenge their need for order and structure. at the same time, these natives are often rebellious in nature, typically fuelled by their desire to own themselves and their successes. as a whole, these natives want to be in control of their own lives and destiny. the issue arises when these natives are prompted to release their cool and detached attitudes in relationships. relationships, as a whole, may be quite difficult for these natives simply because of how emotionally demanding they may seem, or just how much effort they have to put into them. they may threaten their sense of individuality as relationships emphasise the importance of two people joining into one person. this, in itself, may feel as though their independence is at jeopardy. naturally, these people will let in those who they truly connect with – they are not the type to just let anyone in. to have quality over quantity is important to these natives.
with that, with cancer on the descendent, natives may instinctively repress their more familial and intuitive feelings because of how they wish to be perceived by others AND because they simply do not want to let themselves too free with their feelings. anything that makes them feel out of control, such as their romantic feelings, can cause feelings of disorder or discomfort. yet in their partners they seem to be attracted to the things they naturally suppress, these being genuine love, care, and generosity. they look for family despite avoiding the theme of family; and they want genuine care despite acting as if they don't actually care about anything. their relationships will trigger their cool and monotone personalities; they will be triggered into enabling their softer qualities for the sake of learning about themselves and what it means to be emotionally available. to be emotionally resilient, humble, yet powerfully expressive will be something they will have to learn with this placement, through their partners. at the same time, they may naturally become very sensual and intimate with their partners... it seems all these emotions they avoid and suppress are the ones that take over in their relationships.
where capricorn looks for order and logic, cancer looks for emotional vulnerability and safety. where capricorn looks for material and social success, cancer looks for emotional and domestic success. the two territories, society and family, are combined into one system, yet separate all the same, with authority and dominance versus submission and security
the overarching lesson and experience with this placement will be in these natives finding their own family, whatever that means to them, and building a successful life within that family. they must excel in their societal interests but also within the home because this is, at the end of the day, their place of rest. what's more, how these natives rebel and continue to form their own values, principles, and boundaries will be the foundational element of their domestic environments. thus the order, stability, and consistency they create in their own lives will have to be shared with somebody who can continue nurturing and taking care of these things. to help blossom these things into something more prosperous and abundant. finally, this placement will teach how these natives should trust their intuition more and rely on their spiritual senses as much as they rely on their rational ones.
hello, i love your page! i was wondering if you could give any insight into my chart pertaining to what would help me grow as i’ve felt stagnant in self growth for a long while. i’ve also been really lacking in romance and friendships that make me feel like i belong and don’t know how to find the right people for me. i am not sure what placements and aspects are relevant to this question as i’m very new to astrology, so here’s an overview of my placements: sun aquarius 7h, moon gemini 11h, leo rising, venus pisces 9h, mercury capricorn 6h, mars aries 10h, jupiter virgo 3h, saturn cancer 12h, uranus pisces 8h, neptune aquarius 7h, pluto sagittarius 5h, true node taurus 10h! i’m so sorry if i’m missing any relevant info or if i’ve overwhelmed with too much info haha, feel free to answer with whatever info is necessary. thank you so much for reading i know you must be overwhelmed with asks
thank you for your ask and I hope you are well.
in the context of friendships and romance, I believe your chart is very much surrounded around these themes because of your: sun in 7h, moon in 11h, Neptune in 7h, and Pluto in 5h. we can break it down this way:
sun in 7h is very relationship-oriented, seeking overall satisfaction through having relationships with others, platonic or romantic. whilst it's generally agreed the 7h is the house of romantic partnerships, I also see the 7h as a house of friends, especially within the workplace, where we may potentially meet our romantic partner(s), though this is to a much lesser extent. nonetheless, having your sun in the 7h could be indicative of a very "other" oriented nature where you prefer the companionship of others over being alone.
moon in 11h can also be indicative of a social nature. there could be a strong emotional attachment to the friendships you have with others as well as within your community. you don't have to be popular, but sun in 7h and moon in 11h could definitely hint to an element of popularity or, generally speaking, being a very likeable person. if your moon and sun aspect one another in any way, I can definitely suggest there's a direct correlation between finding your "lovers" through the friendships you have with others
the issue in feeling connected to others may stem from your Neptune in 7h and Pluto in 5h because Neptune in 7h adds an elusive quality to your relationships, but also your personality in general. if in the case your sun conjuncts Neptune, you could feel as though it's difficult for you to connect with others because you have a hard time understanding yourself and others, and also because others may have a hard time understanding you. in general, having an Aquarius sun and Neptune in 7h may suggest you feel misunderstood or overlooked in social settings. maybe you feel very different to others, or you feel as though you don't fit a certain criteria a lot of the time; nonetheless, you still want attention and validation from others
Pluto in the 5h can be indicative of loss experienced through friendships and romantic relationships, particularly because Pluto is symbolic of change and evolution wherever it sits. thus, you may feel as though your friendships/relationships take on a "Plutonian" nature where they feel intense, hard to manage, and very transformative in some way. Pluto's "polarity point" is in the 11h, meaning your emphasis should be more on community and giving to others once you have established a better self-esteem within yourself...
...moving on from the previous point, having Saturn in 12h and the sign of Leo in your ascendent could indicate a serious loss of self-esteem in your early life; perhaps you've always felt overlooked by others; different, maybe. the general theme here is re-establishing your confidence levels through the relationships you have with others, though not placing too much emphasis on the existence of other people. having Mars in 10h is in its natural exaltation point, meaning Mars expresses some of its best qualities by being in the 10h, so perhaps you may find some level of satisfaction through working, being responsible, and possibly meeting new people through your job. it's important for you to recognise your own value before acknowledging the value of others! likewise, your NN in 10h/SN in 4h will introduce opportunities in excelling beyond your past issues or traumas (especially if they pertain to your family in some way!) and moving towards independent/autonomous success in your life.
I read you had a Mercury in 21º in the 6h and whilst it's generally understood Mercury in 21º experiences its detriment (21º is the degree of the sign of Sagittarius), there may be issues in expressing the self clearly to others. perhaps issues with seeing the small picture of things – possibly always attaching some bigger meaning to things when not necessary. could be a difficulty in connecting with others because there's an assumption of people knowing how to do or think things a certain way; perhaps you just feel misunderstood by others. perhaps there's a sternness within you, especially in your thinking style. there's always hope to improving your writing and communication skills! all it takes is practice!
finally, your Venus in 9h is exalted in the sign of Pisces, so realistically you should have an easier way of forming relationships with others, though your relationships with others may take on a more spiritual form. perhaps you feel as though the friendships/romantic relationships you have with others are very intense or spiritual in some way; maybe they have always happened for a reason? maybe they've taught you valuable things about yourself? nonetheless, I wonder if your Venus aspects your sun and moon in any way... if they trine or sextile one another, there's a natural leadership and interpersonal quality about you, and you must tap into your natural fondness for others to get the success you desire – but this must be done honestly and clearly. maybe you must work on your articulation skills. in saying that, if they square one another, there may be difficulty in feeling understood or articulating the self clearly – again, focus on how you present yourself to others and how you can use your personal skills to your advantage. having your Leo as your ascendent, your sun/moon in Aquarius/Gemini, you certainly have a very communicative and self-expressive nature, but your Saturn in 12h and Neptune in 7h could definitely bring about delays in your confidence and self-expression.
I hope this answered your question and I wish you the best going forward!
#0043 synastry notes n.02
(+personal observations)
synastry charts made mostly of soft aspects might inspire friendly feelings instead of loving ones, because the energy of trines are hard to notice, and sextiles can be hard to activate... so conjunctions or squares could definitely be more helpful in determining relationship compatibility, and trines or sextiles for friendship compatibility
chiron/node placements can be very kindred-spirit like, where the two get along very well; and actually, the two placements encourage one another to grow in similar ways. for the chiron person, they guide the node person away from their south nodal tendencies (the past); for the node person, they guide the chiron person out of their more harmful or negative tendencies and habits
prominent expansion in relationship can be found through the vertex, especially if jupiter or venus conjuncts the vertex... in transits, this can be transformational for deeper commitment or marriage!
chiron conjunctions can help determine where feelings of rejection or inadequacy come from... for example: chiron/mercury conjunction = being vulnerable to how words are spoken, what is spoken, or overly relying on verbal reassurance or validation to feel secure. chiron/saturn conjunction = being vulnerable to themes of money, work, or responsibility... not feeling good enough no matter how much effort or work is being put into something... or just a general "I don't need anything" attitude
strong chiron/descendent aspects, such as conjunction, can help indicate positive work relationships, especially with those in managerial or authoritative positions. there may be a friendly dynamic between these two placements where the authoritative figure watches over the chiron figure, almost parent-like
