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
when the fourth house ruler falls in the fifth house –
with the fourth house ruler falling in the fifth house, the way these natives perceive play and relationships will strongly reflect their own experiences with their family, wherein play and/or self–expression was encouraged or discouraged. for some, natives may have learned a lot regarding their sense of play through their families. perhaps they were encouraged to play and express themselves creatively, whilst others not so much. there may have been confidence issues during childhood; but as a whole, this placement should suggest some element of positivity. friends were paramount during childhood; friendships and social groups helped these natives learn who they truly are and how to express themselves. for others, they perhaps lacked this crucial element in their lives, possibly never finding their sense of play or creativity, which affects the quality of their relationships today.
the mother could have been popular and/or creative, possibly very emotionally driven. she could have been sexual or just very romantic. she may have had multiple partners. wholly speaking, she was somebody who used her children as a way of expressing herself, possibly even using her children as an extension of herself. confidence was important to her, as well as expressing herself creatively/sexually
when the fourth house ruler falls in the sixth house –
with the fourth house ruler falling in the sixth house, matters of career, routine, and health are important throughout childhood, particularly if the mother in question was sick in any way, or had a very strict belief in good health and routine. she may have been of a holistic background, possibly working with nature or simply being involved in the medicinal field(s). as a whole, natives with this placement tend to learn a lot about discipline and work in their childhood, and whether this be through the mother or the general family dynamic will depend on the native's own experiences. how they learn to work, be disciplined, and improve their skills will generally come from what they learned from their childhood
for some people, they may have experienced a childhood wherein work and discipline were important, and their overall mental and emotional wellbeing was not prioritised as much. school may have been important too, but the general consensus here is that there is an element of maturity from young, where there is an awareness to possible financial and employment issues, as well as what it means to be materially and financially successful. natives may grow up thinking their worth or values are based on their productivity, materials, and/or career
when the fourth house ruler falls in the seventh house –
with the fourth house ruler in the seventh house, how these natives perceive their own relationships and/or marriages will reflect their experiences in the family home. for some, marriage may have been taught as an important thing to achieve, and this will be relevant for those who are from specific ethnic or religious backgrounds that value marriage and family. there may also be political or social traditions wherein marriage and/or relationships are seen as important and/or mandatory. whether a good or bad marriage was witnessed in childhood, the understanding here is that these natives are very aware of marriage and certain relationship dynamics.
with regards to the mother, she may have been popular or very well liked by others. she may have been very graceful and empathetic, possibly even diplomatic and involved with certain social groups of people. she may have been very artistic. for some others, the mother may have been vain or emotionally elusive, possibly overlooking the needs of these natives. she may have been inconsistent or absent in her children's lives. depending on the planet, her absence or contribution will vary greatly. as a whole, however, there is a great set of lessons surrounding personal values and what marriage truly means for oneself because of these interesting childhood observations
when the fourth house ruler falls in the eighth house –
with the fourth house ruler falling in the eighth house, natives may experience their families as a very transformative thing, perhaps because the eighth house introduces an element of loss and grief, or sudden change and transformation that alters how these people view themselves and their families from young. trauma is also usually seen in these kinds of placements. more positively, however, the fourth house ruler in the eight house may suggest a family that has an inheritance or a hidden wealth of some kind.
natives with this placement often experience a very deep connection with the mother, good or bad. there is often an element of intrusiveness, obsessiveness, or general attachment with the mother. natives may feel their independence or emotional space is not respected in some way; maybe they feel they never really had their own space to explore their emotional selves and identities. for others, they may actually feel they matured so young that they had to rely on themselves emotionally, physically, spiritually, and so on
for some natives, their families are healing and transformative in the sense that: family teaches them what it means to fully understand oneself, and to follow one's own intuition and purpose. family and children may be pursued (or not) in a way that follows their own values and experiences, rather than following the family legacy. in some instances, I would even see this as somebody who breaks certain traumas within the family lineage through following their own version of family
when the fourth house ruler falls in the ninth house –
with the fourth house ruler falling in the ninth house, these natives may perceive religion and/or their faith as according to their early family dynamics, meaning the way in which these natives express their faith and/or spiritual beliefs will greatly depend on their spiritual or religious upbringing. for some, there may have been some form of religious or institutional influence, whereby the church and so on were heavily involved in how these natives perceived faith and the divine. there may have been some social or political influences, too. maybe an element of multiculturalism, where these individuals understand a lot about their own faith and beliefs because of the various beliefs and cultures they have surrounded themselves with during their childhood. it may be that these individuals have traveled a lot during childhood or were foreigners in a different country – whatever the case, being so open to different cultures or nationalities has most certainly influenced how these people form their own values and personal beliefs. there may have been an emphasis on school or education growing up.
sometimes this placement can suggest a very religious or spiritual mother. perhaps the mother was a traveler and enjoyed the spiritual ways of life. more broader, the family may have been very involved in religious or humanitarian matters. as a whole, however, individuals with this placement will experience a lot of change in their faith growing up because of how their own family approaches faith OR, on a more minor note, certain experiences (such as near death experiences or grief) that happen within the family that change the course of these people's lives into something more spiritual and/or religious
when the fourth house ruler falls in the tenth house –
with the court ruling falling in the tenth house, responsibility and work may have been of paramount value, often teaching natives maturity and working from young. these natives may have had to literally work from young or simply had a family dynamic wherein responsibility was important, and laziness or creative expression was not so important. these natives tend to have very materialistic childhoods, often having everything they need materially in their childhood, but lacking emotional and creative support and expression. thus, their later lives are usually spent trying to balance their creativity with their careers or their need for status. another thing on status, the family dynamic may have been so materially driven because of certain social or political influences, such as this family owning a big business, or just being very involved with society. as a whole, there tends to be a reputation to keep up here.
both the mother and father could have been very disciplined and successful workers, possibly with a drive for material and domestic success. natives feel they understand responsibility very well in their youth, but they feel quite creatively empty and unfulfilled. thus, a lot of their beliefs and values will revolve around material things, possibly even basing their worth around material values, but their lessons in life will involve needing to let go of material value and social status and simply pursuing their more creative and emotional affairs instead, such as being artistic or even pursuing more relationships
when the fourth house ruler falls in the eleventh house –
with the fourth house ruler in the eleventh house, how these natives perceive their society, community, and friendships stems from their own experiences with family and the mother. on the one hand, these natives may have been popular in childhood or their mother was popular in some way, perhaps involved with the community or simply had a lot of friends and connections around. she may have been very humanitarian in nature, possibly even volunteering or being a firm believer in equality or justice. for some of these natives, they may have relied on their friendships in their childhood, possibly because their own family and household dynamic lacked the closeness they would have liked. inevitably, their family dynamic may not have been so emotionally fulfilling; they may have felt overlooked in some way. for some other natives, they could have struggled with significant social issues
communication becomes important to these natives as they learn to be aware of society from young, and thus learning how to engage and interact with their communities as they grow older. the family doesn't necessarily have to be involved here; these natives could have simply just grown up in an area where they were aware of certain injustices or lack of fairness, and thus felt prompted to be more involved with society
when the fourth house ruler falls in the twelfth house –
with the fourth house ruler falling in the twelfth house, there may have been an element of grief or loss within the family, that has transformed the way these natives go about their lives. for one, the family dynamic may have been spiritual and/or religious; there may have been institutional or religious influences on an external level more than an internal one. travel may have been prominent throughout childhood. for two, because this house is mainly associated with loss and grief, the family dynamic may have been somewhat elusive, perhaps lacking emotional support or happiness. there may have been some element of death, too. the general experience with this placement is lacking a strong relationship with the family. there may have been a lot of trouble or escapist tendencies, such as alcoholism or drug abuse, or any other substance abuse, or misdemeanours. nonetheless, whilst this house is usually negative and sad in nature, there comes an incredible opportunity for spiritual healing. for some people their experience with this placement may revolve around happier themes of spirituality, unconditional love, and a deeply close family. the mother may have been religious or spiritual, maybe she enjoyed traveling. she could have been an inspirational role model who taught their children a lot about their own growth. for the majority of people, however, the general experience is that of sadness and grief, where the family may have had a lot of secrets or "skeletons in the closet"; there may have been a lot of things kept under wraps because of how disconnected the family was in reality.
these natives learn a lot about their own individuality and purpose in life through their experiences in the home. their spiritual journey will also heavily reflect their spiritual experience in the home. as a whole, however, the twelfth house for these individuals provided a good amount of grief and both healing
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.
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!
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.
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!

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.
if you're interested, you can follow the link below!
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
mars in 7h –
mars experiences its detriment in the 7h, meaning mars will experience some of its least favourable qualities in the 7h or in the sign of libra. as a 7h mars, relationships may take on explosive, hot and cold, spontaneous, and intense qualities. they may have a fleeting nature, i.e. be very short-lived. there may be an element of un-seriousness, a lack of commitment, or some form of competition. you may feel as though your relationships are tumultuous in nature, perhaps very intense and passionate, but difficult all the same. they seem to bring a lot of anger or action into your life. in negative instances, this placement could signify ill marriage or a general lack of luck with happy and loving relationships. instead, relationships may feel very passionate, then cold, and then passionate again; there may be toxic dynamics within these relationships, perhaps some element of obsessiveness, control, or manipulation. things seem to be hot-headed all the time.
natives with mars in the 7h may sometimes be more attracted to male traits. for women, they may want a manly man; for men, they may want to be a manly man for woman. for some men, they may see women as a competition or a game.
natives with this placement could manifest partners who are temperamental, dominant, possessive, and perhaps manipulative or controlling. these partners will be of masculine nature, i.e. robust in personality and maybe in looks, but the range of masculinity will vary. some men will be tougher than others; some may have the potential of it. nonetheless, these partners will be driven and determined to win and keep these natives for themselves. they could be very loyal and passionate, or they could be very intense, aloof, and noncommittal
jupiter in 7h –
jupiter in the 7h usually means good luck in relationship and marital affairs. as a 7h jupiter native, you may experience a multitude of friends and romantic partners. you may be popular and well-liked by others. maybe you find it easy taking the lead in social groups and settings. for this placement to feel its happiest, jupiter needs room to roam and expand, so for these natives to feel happy in their relationships, their relationships/partners need to be of spontaneous, expansive, and romantic nature. this placement can be very dramatic and "extra" in what it wants out of love and romance, perhaps overly idealistic or delusional, though still very lucky and fortunate in what it can attract. in some crucial transits, this placement could indicate finding a lucky and wealthy partner, or landing a successful opportunity to elevate one's social status amongst others. as a whole, this placement can express very fortunate, happy, and secure qualities. for these natives, whilst they enjoy their friends and romantic partners, they have no issues being on their own.
relationships may take on religious or spiritual undertones, meaning these natives could express more religious or spiritual desires or ways of loving in their relationships. perhaps they want a religious partner or they want a religious marriage/ceremony. maybe some feel celibate to some extent because they want to wait for the perfect one. maybe relationships feel destined to some extent, like they were made to be for these people, and that they are trials for error and learning. they are never taken at face value, and despite being a very independent sign, can most certainly be very devoted to their partners.
if this placement manifests negatively, there may be tendencies of cheating, being overly abstinent, or having no sense of responsibility or grounding in relationships. there may be delusional feelings or ideas surrounding love and what that looks like. these natives may perceive their relationships more of a game, perhaps seeing them as competition, rather than something more serious than this. they may be overly delusional in love, possibly over-idealising their partners
with jupiter in this house, natives may attract partners of jupiteranian nature. they could be religious, spiritual, or just very in tune with their intuition. they could live a holistic lifestyle. they could also be popular, likeable, spontaneous, wildly romantic, passionate, and wealthy. the types of partners these natives attract could also be gamblers, cheaters, overly spontaneous, and pose a real lack of stability, security, and responsibility
saturn in 7h –
saturn experiences its exaltation in the 7h, meaning the way these natives perceive and approach relationships will be with seriousness and real devotion. in general, as a 7h saturn, you may be quite impartial when it comes to your general life. you may be very rational or objective towards things. there may be a strong sense of justice – what is wrong and what is right. with it being in its exaltation, there is great potential in areas where negotiating and mediation is crucial, and why natives with this placement can be good decision makers.
where saturn sits in the chart is where seriousness, rationality, and some form of hardship will manifest. for example, as relationships are taken seriously, you may rarely experience love that feels genuine to you. there may be a sense of responsibility that comes with relationships, instead of a love that feels more childlike, spontaneous, and lively in nature. you may feel excluded in your social groups, perhaps wanting to be popular and likes by others, yet feeling overlooked no matter what you do. in lesser favourable instances, there is a real lack of personal worth and values here, and natives with this placement tend to learn a lot about these things through the relationships they encounter. for some, they may vainly chase relationships as a way of satisfying a void within them. there may be a strong desire for attention and validation, fully knowing they are capable of building this validation within themselves, though chasing others anyway. as a 7h saturn, this exaltation can promise a prominent social standing in society; there may be a strong pull towards humanitarian or political matters, perhaps, or a general popularity amongst others because of your maturity and standard of boundaries and values. in relationships, you may experience the love you desire through your realistic visions of love, how you express your devotion, and how you expect these things to be returned to you. in the case this saturn experiences its full and most favourable manifestation, you have the validation and inner worth from within you – you do not emptily chase people for the security and stability you already have within yourself.
natives with this placement may attract partners of saturnian nature. humble, impartial, responsible, serious, devoted, and sensible, though emotionally distant and difficult to reach. can lack a strong self-esteem and/or confidence from within. in its ideal manifestation (exaltation), these partners can also be goal-oriented, ambitious, and very driven towards achieving success and growth with these natives
uranus in 7h –
this placement is most notorious for its quick acting, spontaneous, and rebellious approach towards love. as a 9h uranus native, you may experience love to be something unconventional and possibly fleeting. they may be combustive in nature, possibly the type to start off quick and end even quicker. maybe they don't last very long, and maybe there's a detached approach or opinion towards things like longterm commitment or marriage. kids may not even be a thought. anyway, relationships will be based on very specific values and boundaries, most of which will be very unique to you, according to what you perceive to be right and wrong for you in your relationships. as a whole, you welcome an unconventional, non-traditional expression of love, perhaps through your sexuality, preferences, or love languages, etc. the main issue with this placement is that those with this placement tend to feel very unique or different to others, especially going by their preferences, which are very niche and hard to match. these natives, consequently, may feel as though it's hard for them to find somebody just like them. once they do find somebody that understands them the way they want to be understood, they are most definitely capable of being deeply loyal to their partners, though only under the circumstance they have their personal space and social freedom.
these natives do not like feeling tied down to something that makes them feel trapped somehow. to be able to explore their mental, physical, and sexual needs is important, and whether or not these natives are "sexually" liberated is completely up to their lifestyle and preferences, and if they are sexually explorative like this, they must have somebody who is just like them. perhaps they like polyamorous relationships or are more androgynous in nature. as a 7h uranus, your love life will be a lot more unique to what people are used to, and you must make sure you find somebody who can stimulate your mind and sexual needs just as much as you are willing to do for your partners.
sometimes a placement like this enjoys being involved in social groups such as advocacy groups. they may enjoy working with others because of their strong beliefs surrounding sexuality and love. on the one hand, where some of these natives may feel uncomfortable in social settings due to feeling awkward or overlooked by others, other natives may feel very driven in establishing themselves in their social groups because of their drive in interacting and engaging with others and because they want to embrace their original and unique personalities.
natives with this placement could attract partners of uranian nature. rebellious, impartial, diplomatic, or very social with others. they could also be very avoidant and superficial in nature. they could be the type to find it hard to settle down. these partners may be very good as friends but totally different as partners. they need spontaneity and stimulation to remain interested
neptune in 7h –
if your neptune is in the 7h, you may experience a lot of disillusionment and loss in your romantic relationships, mostly through the way neptune distances you from the reality of love and into a more idealised version of it. many of these natives have a distorted view on life; perhaps they over-idealise their romantic partners or have a very unrealistic perception of love. they may be very sentimental in nature, perhaps the type to cling onto the past, or just have a very idealised perception of their past. as a 7h neptune you may be similar, perhaps the type to find it hard to let go, or the type to find love a difficult thing to experience because of how much feelings you have, that seem to be used and abused by your partners. there may be an element of loss here, too, perhaps experiencing heartbreak or death in relationships or, alternatively, a "hopeless romantic" instance wherein the version of the love you have in your head never materialises in person.
whatever neptune touches tends to become elusive. relationships and boundaries, values, and principles, then, seem to be a confusing and elusive set of things. for you, you may struggle having defined values or boundaries in your relationships, simply because you lack a concrete inner worth and self-esteem. maybe you rely on relationships for the emotional security and validation they give you. maybe there's a lack of faith that your relationships will work out; there could be a victim/savior dynamic in your relationships, or you may think that your relationships are more fated than they are. without realising it, you construe your relationships into something they are not, and this inadvertently causes you to lose grip on your boundaries or standards, simply because you begin straying away from the realistic and into the imaginary, where your real and most ideal version of love is.
natives with this placement may attract partners of neptunian nature. creative, imaginative, humanitarian, compassionate, somewhat emotionally elusive. maybe overly soft and empathetic, possibly borderline difficult to read and understand. could be very avoidant in nature, too. they could also lack confidence and security in themselves. may also be spiritual in nature. for these natives, they will learn a lot revolving around personal boundaries and maintaining their own individuality in their relationships, as well as keeping their relationships as fun and loving things, rather than as something overly serious, needy, etc
pluto in 7h –
if your pluto is in the 7h, you may experience a myriad of loss and lessons in your romantic relationships. with the 1h being the 7h's polarity point, pluto in the 7h introduces karmic lessons, healing, and trauma through the loss of love, romance, and the self in relationships. in its grossest form, this placement will manifest in the form of natives constantly experiencing themselves in other people; perhaps they continually attract people with similar shadow traits, qualities, or experiences that trigger these natives in some way to further heal themselves. what this means is that, as a 7h pluto, relationships may be felt on a plutonian level for you, meaning your relationships typically take on very obsessive, intense, controlling or possessive, deeply intense and emotional, and transformational qualities. on the one hand, you may approach love with genuine interest, devotion, and passion. this will be in more favourable instances where you do not search for love to replace your insecurities and flaws. if these 7h pluto natives have a poor self-esteem and inner worth, the relationships they get themselves into will not be rewarding at all, and will in fact twist and turn them into forcing them to create a more realistic and defined version of love that reflects the intensity and passion they really want for themselves. otherwise, this false sense of security they chase will always be overthrown by these periods of painful and intense droughts wherein they are forced to re-evaluate their personal worth and real potential in relationships. once they finally create stronger values and boundaries, and instil a stronger confidence, inner security, and worth from within, they will experience the real duality of love they desire; all the commitment, passion, and compassion they really crave for, that will help them feel complete in themselves.
much of pluto's lessons will revolve around how you learn to stand on your own two feet – i.e., how you build and develop your own sense of individualism in your lives. how you come to understand your own identity and how you further evolve your identity. with pluto in the 7h, there may be a series of lessons that ultimately teach you to claim and maintain your own individuality in your relationships – in other words, to not drown and lose yourself in your relationships. relationships will feel more whole and fulfilling this way, and they will be used only as a way of improving the quality of your life, rather than completely replacing your life with something you think you want or need
those with this placement may attract people of plutonian nature. intense, obsessive, controlling, though loyal, passionate, and emotionally sensitive all the same. these partners can be very devoted but very strong characters, often with very strong boundaries and expectations in their relationships.
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! 🫂
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.
gemini descendent (sagittarius ascendent) –
gemini is ruled by mercury, so having a gemini descendent means your descendent ruler is mercury; therefore the energy of mercury is presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of mercury is associated with communication, logic, knowledge, and friendship.
with sagittarius on the ascendent, natives may instinctively feel drawn towards living a life that prioritises freedom of movement, personal truth, and spiritual value. these natives may intentionally pursue a religious or spiritual lifestyle wherein they join a clergy or monastery because of how connected they want to feel to their faith. as a whole, though, the desire to know themselves and the universe is huge, and their motive for joining in on certain experiences and opportunities is simply for the sake of learning and personal growth. they want to understand themselves through and through, and they want to understand their purpose within the world. without these answers, natives may simple feel directionless or purposeless in their life. to feel happy and successful, they must feel as though they are connected to their own intuition and living through it. this is something that is seen throughout all other fire signs, and it is no different here. the emphasis is diverged from the immediate environment (gemini) into the unknown and divine (sagittarius), which is where the sagittarius ascendent may lack. there is an innate refusal in accepting things for how they are because they must have a different reason or higher purpose for existing. where gemini tends to rely on communication and rationalisation, sagittarius tends to rely on personal perception, experience, and divine order. the two forces clash and create something much more vague and unidentifiable.
in saying that, these natives may instinctively repress anything and anyone that presents themselves as overly rational. for these natives, they must allow themselves to expand beyond their mental and emotional selves; to experience life in all shades of colours and shapes, and to learn from it accordingly. they may avoid those who, on the outside, seem very detail-oriented or picky. the gemini descendent will seem overly controversial in their personal opinions that seem very narrow minded to these individuals. they may think these people are overly pessimistic or have no real knowing in how the world works as a whole. yet even in knowing that, these natives are drawn to the gemini descendent people because of just how understood they feel their personalities are: their partners understand their need for space and movement, and they understand their need to explore themselves and the world. yet with their pickiness and tendency to dim the creativity of these natives are, to some extent, directed by the gemini individuals into something more productive and purposeful. instead of acting in scattered ways, these partners enable them to use their ambitions and ideas wisely. this is something that can be challenging to accept, particularly if these natives are opinionated or stubborn in nature. the lessons they will learn will revolve around their basic abilities to communicate and compromise with others, and use their energy in a way that is just more productive than broad and unanswerable. where these two energies collide and form a spontaneous, adventurous, funny, and wildly passionate combination, it may also prove to be very detrimental as this collision can stir a lot of disagreements, stubbornness, and a blatant refusal of compromise.
where sagittarius looks for personal freedom and divinity, gemini looks for answers and order. the two complement one another as one whole, with one prioritising the spiritual wellbeing, and the other the mental wellbeing.
the overarching lesson or experience with this placement will be in these natives learning and understanding the importance of objectifying themselves and minimising themselves to understand themselves and others on a smaller scale than they would like to. the drive to live spiritually, to achieve spiritual success, and to acquire purpose and authority, can be very disheartening when somebody is trying to rationalise this into something more logical. it can work in favour when these natives drop their stubborn attitudes and continue engaging with opposing beliefs and lifestyles to further learn and possibly incorporate these new values and beliefs into their own lives. so the themes of communication and negotiation become big, for these are the things that form and complete their relationships
leo descendent (aquarius ascendent) –
leo is ruled by the sun, so having a leo descendent means your descendent ruler is ruled by the sun; therefore the energy of the sun is presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of the sun is associated with self-expression, ego, purpose, drive, ambition, success, and self-actualisation.
with aquarius on the descendent, natives may instinctively feel drawn towards a life that prioritises themes of personal freedom, humanity, communication, and expansion. with saturn and uranus as the chart ruler, these natives may express these very strong planetary themes in trying to work hard to achieve a strong social status, having strong boundaries and values, and basically being committed to achieving success in the realms of humanitarian or societal work, so being involved in groups or charities that advocate for a special cause, for example. the focus is not so inward with this placement, and natives with aquarius on the ascendent may feel drawn towards exploring themselves through other people, thus emphasising the importance of communication and society. they may be very talkative and, common with other air placements, want to understand the reason of "why" to things; why this, why that, and why humans exist in the way they do, and so on. yet inevitably this placement may lack the emotional coherence of leo, those being deeply compassionate, spontaneous, spoiled, and creative. this isn't to say this ascendent lacks empathy, but it does suggest these are not as important to these natives as other things are. where the leo looks for adoration and love from others, aquarius searches for mental stimulation and understanding. how they come to know and understand themselves will be through interacting, engaging, and most importantly communicating with others. this could be done on a local level or through traveling abroad where their perspective on life grows larger with each passing day and person. there is no real emphasis on personal feelings and more intimate relationships, and with aquarius on the ascendent, there may never be any romantic inclinations towards others.
in saying that, with leo on the descendent, natives will attract partners that are fiery, creative, and passionate in nature, further emphasising the importance of these natives going inward and finding their own creative passions and inner wildfire. as this sign is symbolic of confidence and self-esteem, those with aquarius on the ascendent may feel like outcasts or, at the very least, as though they stand out from others, perhaps painfully so. with leo on the descendent, however, there is a gentle reminder in embracing who they are, and following their own lead towards things. where this ascendent catches themselves in crowds of people, the descendent will encourage them to take their own initiative against all odds. suddenly the external focus turns inward, and these natives begin thinking about who they, to their core, truly are as people. with this descendent, natives may subconsciously repress these notions because of their perceived importance of society and what it means to be objective. they may repress their more fiery, aggressive, and stubborn qualities because of how these feelings make them feel. to be creative is weird, and to have niche hobbies is weird, too. so why do they keep attracting these people? with aquarius on the ascendent, these natives want to think by and large – and their partners are definitely the ones encouraging them to do so. where these natives may lack the empathy and unconditional compassion for others, their more leonine traits, thanks to their descendent, will activate in full swing in their relationships, as their undying love and willingness to commit will take over them like a raging fire. but this is something that is difficult to come to terms with; to commit and settle, and to restrict the self for somebody else.
where aquarius looks for duality, leo looks for individuality. where aquarius searches for reasoning and why, leo looks for experience and introspection. where aquarius looks for mental and physical freedom, leo looks for commitment and freedom through love and personal self-expression.
the overarching lesson and experience with this placement will be in these natives understanding the importance of establishing their own confidence and self-esteem, which is something their partners will subconsciously trigger and heal from within. these natives must look inwards more, to express themselves more, and be willing to be more artistic and imaginative in their ways of self-expression. they must also allow themselves to truly connect with their more loving and sensitive feelings; to allow them to further connect with others and the world in a way that is just beyond the rationalisation of things. in doing so, these natives will generate the true individuality AND duality they crave for with others.
virgo descendent (pisces ascendent) –
virgo is ruled by mercury, so having virgo descendent means your descendent ruler is mercury; therefore the energy of mercury is presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of mercury is associated with logic, communication, education, intelligence, travel, and friendship.
with pisces on the ascendent, natives may instinctively feel drawn towards a life of spirituality or religion, or any lifestyle that allows them to live more soulfully. introspective in nature, these natives may not benefit from living largely spontaneous lives, but definitely one where they may take their time in experiencing, feeling, and processing life and the universe on a deeply intuitive level. for this reason, they may ebb in and out of different personalities or identities as they continue searching for their real selves. in addition to that, how these natives perceive themselves and others will be through a spiritual, often very vague and open minded, lens. the line between reality and the imagination is often blurred with this placement simply because of the tendency to associate reality and the divine as two conjoined things, thus typically being very elusive and hard to understand to others. they may lack a sense of responsibility or stability for this reason, as they shift from different personalities and perspectives on a continuous basis. with a natural inclination to help and heal the self and others, these natives will be more than willing to give a helpful hand, but also equally susceptible to abuse or hurt from others who want to take advantage of their kindness. this repetitive, and often monotonous, cycle of healing and hurting will only fuel their delusional, and sometimes irrational, perception of life as one big punishment and cause for loss.
with that, with virgo on the descendent, natives may subconsciously repress logic as something overly nihilistic. these people want purpose and meaning in their lives, they don't want to live a life where there exists no bigger reasoning for living. it's why they might want to travel or coexist in foreign groups and societies, simply for the fact of wanting to feel connected with and educated on how others live and find value in their lives. with virgo on the descendent, natives may feel triggered in separating reality from imagination, and taking reality as is, rather than conjuring a false image of reality, and trying to shift it into something it will never be. the ability to be critical, unforgiving, and insensitive to people who have malicious intentions towards them may be difficult to have, but essential all the same. and in relationships, these natives may be drawn to individuals who have this colder demeanour; those who are more detail-oriented and have a stronger grounding under themselves. these partners have more control within themselves, more responsibility, and a stronger sense of accountability. this isn't to say those with pisces on the ascendent are irresponsible at all and, in fact, are very responsible people; but when surrounded by this ambition and need for success, the pisces will subconsciously mirror it and unlock its own ambitions and need for success, rather than mindlessly wandering. in a way, the virgo provides guidance for these natives, as these are the forces by which these natives will be inspired by. from thinking about the world as a whole, and all of its imperfections, these natives will hone in on their own identities and flaws, and work towards perfecting them. in a way it's a matter of the metaphysical balancing with the physical, and how a balance may be achieved with the two.
where pisces wants duality, virgo wants individuality. where pisces seeks meaning and purpose, virgo establishes this purpose through responsibility and hard work. where pisces wants creativity and inspiration, virgo wants rationalisation and proof.
the overarching experience and lesson with this placement will be in these natives balancing their spiritual motives with physical and rational actions. they will learn the importance of individuality whilst teaching the importance of duality to their partners. in establishing more responsibility and accountability in their lives, these partners will learn the value of stronger boundaries and principles in their relationships as they become surrounded by people who challenge them in doing so. they may attract abusers or wounded people for the sake of opening their eyes towards just how self-destructive toxic love may be. by becoming colder and more unforgiving, these natives protect themselves from harm. but by subconsciously denying these colder and more detached personalities, the pisces will struggle in forming its own identity and backbone going forward in life, because a life so full of uncontrollable emotions is not a life worth living at all.
libra descendent (aries ascendent) –
libra is ruled by venus, so having a libra 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.
with aries on the ascendent, natives may instinctively feel drawn towards a life that prioritises their independence and individual wellbeing. typically, interpretations surrounding aries placement, especially aries ascendents, revolve around how ambitious and driven aries placements are towards achieving total self-actualisation through enabling and driving their desires and skills. they have an openminded view on anything and everything, almost as though they take everything at face value, with little room for overthinking and rationalising on things. with this head-on attitude comes the tendency to compete against others, to lack compromise, and to put the self first. it's not fair to say these natives lack spatial/social awareness, but they most definitely lack the ability to see past their own needs and desires. that can be dangerous in personal relationships. it's why these natives often struggle in relationships that challenge even an ounce of their independence. they may take everything personally as a way of safeguarding them against potential harm.
in saying that, these natives may attract partners that challenge their ability to compromise. these partners will argue with them and educate on how other people think and feel. in many cases, with aries on the ascendent, these natives may not be so attracted to the more needy or intimate details of others. they may be more into the beauty, sex appeal, and charm of others, instead. this level of superficiality that these natives are used to will be turned inwards to express something more meaningful and profound. this straightforward, masculine, and competitive persona should, and eventually will, turn into a more peaceful, diplomatic, and somewhat dependent person as time goes on. naturally, natives with this placement will repress what it means to be needy and clingy with others, and they will instinctively avoid the things that make them feel attached or tied down. they may go about their lives living in a way that feels right to them but, deep down, will always want somebody who can help them make decisions, and somebody who will join them on their personal journeys. in finding themselves (their identities, values, who they truly are, and what they're made for), their partners may certainly cool their fiery and spontaneous personalities and guide them towards something more structured and rational. this way, these natives, albeit manipulative and emotional, can become somebody who truly think and reflect on the details and emotions of others, and finally learn to share the experience of life.
where aries wants competition, libra wants compromise. where aries looks for independence, libra looks for duality.
the overarching experience and lesson with this placement will be in these natives learning to bind with others, particularly in their romantic relationships. they may specifically repress any form of compromise or settling for what makes them feel tied down. to truly connect with others may be scary to them, which only further fuels their macho and cool attitude. to give up their independence may seem like something that should not happen at all, ever, but will become inevitable and crucial if they truly want somebody to love and be with. they may be overly impulsive, spontaneous, and emotional in relationships, and love may really draw out their manipulative and controlling tendencies. but through balancing these feelings with the cooperation and care of their partners, they learn to express themselves in a way that is a lot more productive and healing.
scorpio descendent (taurus ascendent) –
scorpio is ruled by pluto and mars, so having a scorpio descendent means your descendent is ruled by pluto and mars; therefore the energy of pluto and mars is presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of these two planets is associated with competition, sexuality, drive, ambition, control, transformation, and the psyche.
with taurus on the ascendent, natives may feel drawn to living a life that is more stable and predictable in nature, prioritising consistency above all. they may be the type to value quality over quantity, in whatever context that may be, from their personal possessions to their relationships. the overarching experience with this ascendent is wanting to create value and stability in their lives, to want and own things, and to live a life of perceived luxury and success. they want to be comfortable in their own skin; to feel as though they have accomplished things materially and socially. there is a subconscious refusal to delve into things of spiritual or immaterial values because of the perceived notion of material things; that these things, as a whole, are what defines live and the human experience. to travel well, to eat well, and to exercise are all things that, on the outside seem very simple but, on the inside are very fundamental things to living a good life. the issue arises when these natives refuse immaterial things simply because they do not reinstate the material satisfaction money and possessions bring them. they may see things as transactional processes, possibly seeing humans on a range wherein their ability to provide stability, responsibility, and consistency are measured against their own abilities. naturally, and in theory, this is what they desire, and their avoidance of the deeply spiritual can cause them to re-evaluate what it means to value possessions and material things for the sake of validation, rather than the spiritual process of life.
with that, these natives may subconsciously reject elements of more spiritual, religious, or immaterial values, perhaps because they are scared of losing their stability and consistency. as they like to be in what is most predictable, they may struggle at letting go of what makes them feel most comfortable in their lives. despite all the material successes, possessions, and incredible values they have acquired and own, they may still feel drawn to something deeper than the physical body; something more emotional and spiritual, that truly satisfies their need to be seen and loved. with scorpio on the descendent, these natives will have their material senses balanced with the knowledge of what it means to live through the spirit and soul, and to heal the self through love and relationships. relationships will become a spiritual process, than a transactional thing measured on a material benchmark. the intensity of the scorpio will challenge, but heal, the mundanity of the taurus. this will relinquish the taurus' need to live through the five senses and, inevitably, allow them to live through all spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical elements that further enable them to understand who they truly are. in relationships, they may look for stability and consistency, but will be met with chaos and destruction; all of the things that challenge the taurus' narrow minded view on life and relationships. inevitably, these experiences will deepen the perspective of the taurus on life and relationships, hopefully broadening their perspective on what it means to live, love, and be successful. and with that, despite being fearful of intense people, these natives may be very intense towards their partners, possibly controlling or possessive. they may be manipulative and very distrustful because of how much they feel betrayal.
where taurus wants stability and humility, scorpio wants destruction and regeneration. where taurus wants material success and validation, the scorpio will look for anything that penetrates beyond the materialistic and superficial view and perspective of these things.
the overarching lesson or experience with this placement will be in recognising the value of spirituality in relationships, i.e. what it means to live through the soul in relationships, and using relationships as a way of healing the self. relationships cannot be seen as solely transactional or mundane things, but as vessels for change and personal transformation. how to cooperate, communicate, and so on, will be learned through relationships, as well as a more personal style of loving the self and others, and developing a broader view of love. naturally, the intensity these people may fear, is something they deeply yearn and crave for. they must allow themselves to lose themselves in their relationships, to learn and heal from them, and to truly live out their more sensual and emotional impulses in them, but in a way that is only fair and genuine.
sagittarius descendent (gemini ascendent) –
sagittarius is ruled by jupiter, so having a sagittarius descendent means your descendent is ruled by jupiter; therefore the energy of jupiter is presented very strongly in your chart as a whole. the energy of jupiter is associated with competition, higher knowledge, the law, spirituality or religion, and travel.
where gemini is on the ascendent, natives may feel drawn to living a life that prioritises education, experience, and socialisation. they may be extroverted in nature or, alternatively, very curious and eager to learn. how they learn, in most instances, will be through interacting and engaging with other people, thus learning the real extent of how humans think, act, and function within the world. in general, this ascendent, compared to a sagittarius ascendent, will keep things easy and minimal, solely focusing on the general understandings of human nature and the world. they may be interested in literature or education – something that gets their mind moving. the fall in this ascendent comes when these natives typically lack faith in higher learnings, perhaps in religious or spiritual contexts, as they feel no more than just being openminded towards them. they may be skeptic towards these otherworldly texts and beliefs. when it comes to the sagittarius ascendent, for example, those with a sagittarius ascendent may naturally pursue a life that involves all kinds of cultural, spiritual, and religious themes and tones, thus ultimately finding their purpose and divinity through a lifestyle that reflects their more soulful inclinations. for the gemini ascendent, however, this can be difficult and, in many cases, these natives lack a coherent spiritual identity or purpose to relate to, simply because of their natural hesitancy to opening and broadening their minds to elements of more spiritual and religious nature(s).
in saying that, they may naturally repress spiritual or religious contexts because of many reasons, though typically ranging from skepticism to blatant disbelief. gemini placements tend to be very scientific and rational in nature, so those who seem to challenge their opinions on the spiritual and religious elements of life, are typically regarded as irrational or illogical in some way. this attitude can manifest in different ways, of course, perhaps being the type to focus on what is right and correct. the sagittarius descendent will expand this perspective into thinking of justice, real fairness, and just how intertwined the world, universe, and its inhabitants are. there is a real expansion of the mind, of experience, and of opinion here. and in saying that, although the gemini ascendent may be skeptical at first, they are all so interested in just how others think and believe and act, that they will fall for what mentally stimulates them. in essence, despite rejecting this fact, these natives want somebody they can talk to, express their desires and interests in, and experience life with. the hesitancy, however, comes from rationalising things and perceiving things on a small scale, which the sagittarius descendent will always challenge and try to expand.
where gemini looks for consistency and correctness, sagittarius looks for experience and fairness, but with an element of "why?" and "how is it all connected, from a religious or spiritual perspective?"
the overarching experience and lesson with this placement will be in these natives learning to expand themselves towards experiences, beliefs, and people that challenge their perspective and personal opinions and beliefs on life. as they tend to focus on their immediate environments, and keeping things simple, their sagittarius half may encourage them to thinking about the larger facets of life; to think and behave more openly, and to perceive the world as a bigger thing than it really is. these natives will have their personal notions and behaviours challenged by somebody that is just as talkative and curious as them, but in a way that seems to be more evolved and revolutionary, perhaps more rebellious, than them, though attractive all the same.
capricorn descendent (cancer ascendent) –
capricorn is ruled by saturn, so having a capricorn descendent means your descendent is ruled by saturn; therefore the energy of capricorn is presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of saturn is associated with hard work, resilience, limitation, responsibility, and social status.
where cancer is on the ascendent, natives may feel drawn to living a life that prioritises family, intuition, and feeling connected to oneself. they may be introspective in nature, perhaps attuned to the environment(s) around them, and very curious about the spiritual/religious. the main theme of this placement is "inwardness", or the emphasis on the internal. these natives tend to be very introverted and private; they may not be so interested in pursuing things that have no real emotional value to them. this will include things of societal/political value, where these individuals may not feel so driven by things such as money, power, or authority in a governmental or political sense, and will instead pursue status and power in their own homes. this, in general, can be a good thing, but only manifests negatively when these natives are closed off to the external world, and fail to pursue things outside of their comfort zone(s). being so associated with family and heritage, they may instinctively pursue what has been established and set for them, such as certain traditions, values, or ways of living (relationships, marriage, for example) that are expected of them to follow. for some this is completely fine, but for others not, and their challenge will be in rejecting what does not align with their mature values and boundaries, whilst also honouring a/the legacy they come from and leave behind them.
in saying that, natives may subconsciously repress themselves from experiencing life beyond the home. this can come in many forms, with some being: experiencing intimacy/relationships with others that go against certain values or expectations, following a certain way of life, and/or being expected to carry down the family legacy in some way. the general understanding with this placement is that, whilst these natives do strive for more independence and authority in their lives, they may feel limited in doing so because of how attached they feel to their families or current way of living. they will attract partners that continuously challenge not only their work ethic, discipline, and social status (i.e. how they contribute to society), but also how they rebel and form their own values in their personal lives. these natives will feel pulled out of their shells and, perhaps, rather uncomfortable doing so. but this placement by and large emphasises just how much cancer on the ascendent needs to pursue their own way of living. with capricorn on the descendent, natives will seem to attract natives that complement their introspective and private natures, whilst also encouraging them to extend beyond what they are comfortable in, and into the unknown. there needs to be a complementary pair with wanting money and status, whilst also wanting family and stability. with capricorn on the descendent, the two will bind and promise one another a good and healthy life and marriage, so long as the two are ready to compromise.
where cancer looks for stability, capricorn looks for rebellion and independence. where cancer looks for consistency, capricorn looks for ambition and challenge.
the overarching experience and lesson with this placement will be in these natives embracing the more physical and external elements of life – to live their own independence and to love beyond what they have been taught. these natives want to be loved through and through, and to love and be loved may be something they really want to achieve in their lives. but this idea can be heavily romanticised and totally unrealistic. if these natives soften themselves too much, they risk losing themselves in their relationships. they must go beyond the home and enable their ambitiousness and achieve the things they truly want to achieve, rather than following a list of expectations put on them by their previous generations. their partners will continually challenge and heal what it means to have their own family and emotional networks. with that, the "coldness" experienced from their partners will, hopefully, cool the intensity of these natives and allow them to express their loving feelings in a way that is more structured.
aquarius descendent (leo ascendent) –
aquarius is ruled by uranus and saturn, so having an aquarius descendent means your descendent is ruled by uranus and saturn; therefore the energy of these two planets are presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of these two planets is hard work, resilience, rebellion, limitation, and social status.
with leo on the ascendent, natives may naturally pursue a life that prioritises their own wants and needs and, whilst this may not be a bad thing, it can be in relationships, where their focus on their ego and identity may collide with the interests of other people. the symbol of leo in astrology is closely related with personal ego and purpose, creativity, ambition, and confidence. for these natives, stepping into their power and recognising their creative abilities, along with their ego and purpose, has been an enlightening experience and process in their lives, and will continue being so as they mature. the collision, however, with aquarius on the descendent, will occur when the self (leo) has to objectify itself and consider external influences (aquarius) that inadvertently pertain to the Leo's existence, but in a way that is much broader than the self would like to be. this would include humanity (the collective), the world, society, and the universe as a whole, rather than the self only, which the symbol of leo is representative of. as a whole, with leo on the ascendent, natives will feel driven in accomplishing a personal and very defined lifestyle wherein their own desires, needs, creative capacities, and interests are on the forefront of what they do. to love and be loved is important for these natives as they seek out human connection and romance, but ultimately everything they do will revolve around their own wellbeing and sense of purpose. social in nature, these natives may see life as a game of experience and growth, possibly thanks to their innate desire to build themselves and their personal identities into something more dignified, social, and confident.
with that, natives may subconsciously repress the interests of others, particularly on a societal or collective level. being so aligned with their own interests and needs they may feel conflicted trying to gauge and put effort into others'. this isn't to say they are completely incapable of loving and understanding others, but merely that they have a subconscious draw to doing things that validate themselves and, yes, this will include being in relationships where they feel they are the spotlight! yet with all their loving and deeply compassionate feelings, they will find those with an alternative style (aquarius descendent) quite admirable. these are the people that will have as much confidence as these natives do, and they will draw in a crowd just as well. they will balance their selfishness and egotism with their wider perspective, showing them that the world does not revolve around them, and helping them broaden their own perspective on how humanity and the world truly function as one synergistic system. they may repress extending beyond their own egos and identities simply because of the perceived meaninglessness of the world without them. with aquarius on the descendent, they may see these natives as trusting and flexible, and with leo on the ascendent, these natives may see their partners as open minded and with strong social skills which, despite rejecting subconsciously, are what these people innately desire. the tables turn, then, when the leo ascendent begins excelling in social groups because of their cooperative, accepting, objective, and socially conscious qualities. what they lack in emotional intimacy with one person, they may up with a passion for the good of society, especially if they tend to attract those that are cold, distant, or hard to understand in nature. those with very broad opinions and experience, also. in essence, it's quite paradoxical, considering just how different these two forces seem to be.
where the leo wants self-recognition and validation, aquarius seeks for collective cooperation and understanding. where leo seeks for creativity and ego-driven experiences, aquarius wants mutual effort and a total acceptance of "me and you."
the overarching lesson or experience with this placement will be in these natives learning to look beyond their personal ego and advancing into more social and humanitarian territories. they must use their confidence, self-esteem, and innate creative abilities to unite others, and to establish a more peaceful and harmonious society. in relationships, these natives will be challenged to look beyond their own needs and desires, and to do things for the sake of others, in a way that does not strictly validate the self. this seemingly loving and unconditional personality needs to be used in a way that is truly productive and selfless, rather than in a way that is selfish and secretly envious of others. relationships must be pursued in a way that not only satisfies the self, but others, too.
pisces descendent (virgo ascendent) –
pisces is ruled by neptune and jupiter, so having a pisces descendent means your descendent is ruled by jupiter and neptune; therefore the energy of these two planets are presented very strongly in your relationships as a whole. the energy of these two planets is luck, spirituality or religion, the psyche, healing and transformation, and higher intelligence.
with virgo on the ascendent, natives may naturally zero on the imperfections on themselves, others, and life; they may criticise themselves and others too much but, more importantly, they may feel under pressure to do something with themselves; to live healthier, to exercise more, to achieve more. with this constant reminder to do something, anything, just to feel productive, these natives may naturally avoid things that are overly superficial or daunting in nature because of the vagueness these things have. they may obsess over details and overwhelm themselves with information for the sake of knowing everything to anything. the general understanding of this placement is that these natives want purpose, drive, ambition, and success. they want to feel complete and whole in themselves, thus typically following a lifestyle that is more holistic in nature. they want to stray away from what's imperfect into the cleaner and refined. this inward obsession is something that needs to be analysed and shifted into something more productive. with an innate responsibility, virgo on the ascendent is, in fact, very accountable in themselves. they recognise the need to work and live a prosperous and successful life; to succeed materially inasmuch emotionally and mentally, to have consistency and stability, and to remain humble. but the question of, "how many things can I own, and how many more things can I acquire, before I need to think of my real purpose and values?" arises, wherein the focus from the material must shift to the immaterial, where the integrity of their spiritual values, wellbeing, and confidence are concerned. in staying so far inside their own heads, their qualities of love, compassion, sincerity, and so on, are denied, and are thus manifested in their relationships with others, where their needs are put on hold for the service of others and, similarly, they must extend beyond their own heads into things that actually matter – that being the world around them, and the spiritual meaning of them and the world they live in.
with that, these natives may subconsciously repress the themes of flaws, imperfections, spirituality, loss, or any form of sadness that reminds them of their own imperfections, even though they tend to, time and time again, drown in feelings of despair and victimhood. in relationships they may be challenged to extend beyond their mentalities and into their emotional and spiritual cavities where they will inevitably find their intuition and deeper fears. their relationships, with pisces on the descendent, will be incredibly challenging, yet healing all the same, as their more loving and generous feelings will be dragged out of them and onto the surface, shifting this rational and scientific perspective on things into something less black and white and more open minded. it could also be that these natives attract piscean relationships because of the gentleness, submissive qualities, understanding, and passive traits of these partners. despite rejecting the more nuanced spiritual themes, they are drawn to emotional, spiritual, loyal, and deeply loving people, whose easy going and escapist natures calm them from their own anxieties and narrow minded perception of life. this is a type of energy that gently encourages them to expand their minds and identities beyond just the body and what they themselves mean in this world, and into themes of how the world and collective works together, how the self can contribute to society, and the importance of connecting with others. also, what it means to forgive and heal the self from habits and past experiences that continue haunting the self today.
where virgo wants consistency and logic, pisces wants destruction and healing. pisces can be a messy sign only for the fact that is challenges the self to expand into unfamiliar territories, with these territories being: new ways of loving oneself and others, what the self truly means, and new ways of perceiving the self, others, the world, and the universe at large.
the overarching experience or lesson with this placement will be in these natives learning what it means to be emotionally and spiritually available, and what it means to balance the physical with the spiritual. these natives may find their success in humanitarian work or through working with animals and nature because of their interest in healing, routine, medicine, and so on, rather than sole relationships. where one person can offer them the basics of love and affection, finding their purpose and living through it (pisces) can give them the material and immaterial success they innately desire (virgo) which, of course, can include a huge group of people instead of just the one.
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!
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
