the difference between applying and separating aspects in the natal chart

When a faster planet is approaching the exact degree of an aspect with a slower planet, that aspect is applying. When a faster planet is departing from the exact degree of an aspect with a slower planet, that aspect is separating.

These two stages on either side of an exact aspect present an arc in its effects: application is a process of initiation, accumulation, and construction; exactness is the peak, the culmination, the purest tension or purest ease, crystallized; and separation is a process of release, resolution, and dissolution.

These stages are most pertinent to predictive & electional astrology. To differentiate between the “future” and “past” effects of an aspect allows an astrologer to fine-tune their interpretation of the way potential events unfold between the push and pull, ebb and flow of each planet’s influence.

In a natal chart, it works a bit differently. The human personality is not as linear as events in time. The popular description is that applying aspects may have an increasing or greater effect as the native gets older, while separating aspects may have a decreasing or lesser effect as the native gets older; but strength of planetary influence in context to age is something better represented in predictive methods like returns, profections, and progressions. The natal chart is stagnant and foundational, and it is relevant no matter how old someone is. Its contents can’t be isolated to any stage of life. The energy of an aspect always pertains to the native’s behavior no matter how old they are or where they are in their personal development, and the ‘stage’ of an aspect has influence over its energy on a psychological level.

Applying aspects in a natal chart are proactive and receptive. The planets involved look ahead, they anticipate, they expect, and most importantly, they try to act in advance. They are often more “on edge” about their circumstances due to an inherent uncertainty, but this also makes them more aware and sometimes more in control. They are inclined to search for opportunities, so they tend to focus more actively on things that have yet to happen.

Separating aspects in a natal chart are reactive and reflective. The planets involved see things most clearly in retrospect. They are in constant review or recollection; they linger, but at the same time, they are more willing or more fluid, able to work with their circumstances. They are inclined to search for lessons, so they tend to focus more actively on things that have already happened.

The faster-moving planet is most often the more conscious entity. It is creating the condition of the aspect so it feels it to a greater extent than the slower-moving planet, which may be the force that “offers the opportunity” or “teaches the lesson” according to the point of view of the faster planet.

It is generally much easier for the native to take charge of their applying aspects; behaviors associated with applying aspects have a more malleable nature, open to change, whereas behaviors associated with separating aspects are a lot less “conscious” or feel less self-generated. Separating aspects may often be over-contextualized – the planets involved are less poised for accountability and may want to look outward for explanations & answers, while applying aspects view themselves in a light of self-centrality where their actions are very significant. Applying aspects are, overall, more influential over the native’s psyche than separating aspects, because they are developing within the native’s sense of self and within reach of their will. Separating aspects have already developed outside the native’s power or awareness. Applying aspects represent what you believe you can do (perspective of control and opportunity), and separating aspects represent what you believe has been done to you, around you, or beyond you (perspective of coping, learning, overcoming or adapting).

Of course, the specific planets themselves have to determine the particular meaning of whatever angle they find themselves in, and each one may react differently to the condition of their aspect. Application & separation aren’t going to change the nature of a planet; the planet is simply placed in a different point of view and it will choose to behave accordingly. For example, Mars in a separating aspect does not suddenly become passive or prone to give up – it may actually lash out more intensely. When Mars applies, it believes it has the authority or liberty to do whatever it wants, because the results are not set in stone. When Mars separates, it may feel that the other planet has taken control away from it, or that its opportunity for control has slipped away, because it detects a pattern or set of results that it didn’t get the chance to dictate for itself; this can be threatening, and can create harsh rebelliousness in Mars.

The application & separation of an aspect determine its perspective, above all. The planets are positioned to perceive each other, as well as their shared circumstances, in a certain way. When the planets come into contact, they shift each other’s focus. That is partly what aspects measure. This focus is captured in a birth chart, halted and preserved in an individual’s psyche, despite any of their circumstances or experiences. Even if the effects of an aspect change as the native matures, the focus is a permanent psychological fixture. That is ultimately true for all natal placements.

Venus in the 9th house - Higher Mind Honeymoon 

She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. ‘Time’ for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.

Roman Payne

Venus in the 9th people have a sacred appreciation for the human mind, body, and spirit that calls her to devotion into worshiping, apotheosising, and celebrating their existence like a lifelong religion. The higher mind is an ornate and scenic dwelling with exquisite decor, books open and warm from fresh eyes, and the desire to realise the ideal philosophy into physical existence. Love is a personal and cosmic experience for the person with Venus in the 9th. The individual may voyage through hearts and minds searching for the relationship that unveils the ultimate divine reunion. She recognises the Goddess within people and recreates their stories in her own mythology. There is typically a fondness for learning, blooming her mind, and reading the thoughts of God that other people have transcribed through theology, astrology, creative writing, and philosophy. She is receptive to expansive and enlightening conversation, and there may be a natural attraction to teachers, intellects, writers, travellers, and spiritual guides. There may be displayed interest in different cultures and rituals, the human psyche, sociology, anthropology, writing, educating, law, publishing, international relations and diplomacy. She may have a calling to visit far away landscapes, experience different faiths, doctrines, and beliefs, taste exotic cuisine, and hear the voices of an unknown language play a melody in her ear. She is inspired by the natural beauty that reveals itself with different colours in every corner of the globe, divine poetry comes to life before her eyes, and she is receptive to every gesture of love that the universe conducts. The act of self-indulgence and satiating personal pleasure is a ceremonial prayer and gratitude for the Gods. 

The heart can long for vague image of salvation in love with Venus in the 9th, and the ideal universe is her remarriage with spirit and matter. The individual carries her philosophy and applies it wherever she goes. For example if she is a psychologist, she sees the practice of psychology as a great philosophy, or if she is a teacher she is educating by the manner of her higher personal teaching philosophy. Otherworldly material can taste luck sucking cotton candy, and there can be enchanting allure into the sights and sound beyond this world. She may attach to belief systems for the image rather than practice the teachings, buy new age books and charms on impulse, and mimic the right language. This is absolutely less than satisfying and she knows deep down that her heart is absent. It’s possible that during dark periods of her life that she abandons or feels betrayed by her faith. These hefty spiritual ideals can also be unknowingly projected onto her relationship partner. Without causation she can become dissatisfied, underwhelmed, or sensing that something is missing from her relationship. She manages to find the inclusive love that she desires through her personal relationship with the inner Goddess. As she lays her head to sleep, she can hear the song that the stars wrote just for her, listen to sacred charms blow through the wind, and let the light rise her in the sunlight. The universe reveals spiritual law in delicate and harmonic natural sequences. It designs a magnificent, exclusive sanctuary that brings her ashore with gentle waves crashing honeycomb milk from a crystal lagoon. This is a marriage altar for the great love of the universe in preparation for her homecoming. 

Shared experience is a prayer and cosmic elevator with Venus in the 9th. She catches a glimpse of the divine when she has been moved by beauty, entranced creatively, delighting in collective joy, and through the love that she receives. There is a magnet that draws mentors and wise guides into her presence, and they covertly blend their message into conversation and watch if she has been truly listening. She may be a gifted spiritual artist, gospel singer, or esoteric writer. Her heart and mind is a passport that flies lovers around the globe inside, crossing the borders of consciousness and revealing the world in a new and sparkling light. She has a philosophy about love in which she enacts and regulates according to spiritual law. Relationships may be quite serendipitous with chance encounters or bizarrely parallel life timelines. The 9th house genie spins the wheel of fortune and favour in the direction of her authentic and karmic relationships. Her mood can seem to move the universe and her partner’s lucky hand. When she is blissful and content, the partner is blessed with the jackpot. And when there is tension in the relationship, the partner can suffer continual strokes of bad luck. The spirit is a free roamer that relies on trust, openness, and autonomy to flutter through the petals of different minds, stories, and alchemic energies and harvest this pollen like a honeybee that she will transmute into golden honey of wisdom. She offers the same freedom to her lover in return and becomes rather rattled confined in a cage. There is a positive response to change, spontaneous adventure together, and finding a way to understand and compromise opposing belief systems and ideologies. She marks her lover’s heart with a seashell that plays the wave of the universe, and she teaches the way of seeing the beauty present in every perspective of reality. Her bed becomes a vessel that sails her across seven seas of imagination in the direction of love letters the universe has written for her. In every passage and view she finds a way to fall in love with a different manifestation, moving mosaic, and reflection of herself.

💓 Astro Notes PT 3 ! 💓

+I’m definitelyy gonna do sign posts soon, like houses, planets, asteroids, and all, it’s all gonna have a theme to each topic yada yada yadaa, so look outtt+

>A bit of a long post here so have fun scrolling through it hehe :))

*All aries risings have sign/house synchronization because the house order doesn’t move or if it does move at all it hardly does, only shifting by a sign or two depending on how late the ascendant degree is, this is notorious of aries’ independence streak by wanting each sign to be in their native houses, to feel its house’s full power, aries rules 1st the house of identity so there’s the more symbolic way for this occurring. It’s pure energy here.

*Venus-saturn, especially conjunction, definitely carry a big daddy vibe. It’s more prominent if the two are placed in the angular houses.

*Taurus and libra are both rules by venus, but these energies are distributed between the two signs in different ways. A basic way to differ the two energy wise is taurus is the “masculine” side of venus, libra is far more “feminine”. Both are delicate but in different ways taurus is “heavier”, for it being an earth sign, contrasted with the airy and flighty libra.

*Libra sun is in fall in astrology, the fall meaning the behavior of the sign contradicts the traditional role of the planet, the role of the sun is to stand out from everyone else, its your radiance, what makes you special, it’s your ego and what you take pride in. But libra wants to be relatable to everyone, to NOT stand out, merge and meet and balance !! This is the opposite of aries, aries is independent, “what makes ME independent, me me me !!”, explaining its exaltation when the sun enters this sign, it’s not absolutely the same as leo sun or the suns energy overall but it’s a close fit, almost... perfect, that’s what the exaltation means represents here. Libra is focused on everyone else around them, everyone other than themselves, the people around them and how they can compromise to fit everyone’s needs. I mentioned before they don’t like to stand out, this is excluding fire placements in a libras chart which will create a person who relates well to others but still demands to stand out in whatever planet is in a fire sign.

*Whatever house leo is ruling is wherever your rising sign’s ego is being expressed in, ex: leo in 11th expresses their ego, creativity with friends, causes. This area of life is where you’ll likely take most pride in, excluding the suns placement in the chart.

*Neptune in 7th can attract a lot of partners in need of healing or help. This person is very healing and guiding in relationships, maybe they could even make a good guidance counselor, but I’m not so sure astrologically because I haven’t looked into it entirely, let me know if this is true.

*Neptune in 2nd is the type of person to browse a shop, find whatever they like but never end up buying it, they change their minds about it by putting it back right before they leave. They could’ve been talking about hooow much they want to get whatever they’re holding onto over and over again but never buy the thinggg.

*Aries mercury were always told to lower their voice or be quiet as kids I swear.

*Uranus in 12th feels they should hide their brilliance, these are veryy creative people they just keep it a secret.

*12th house feels like a never ending game of hide and seek, you find the planet sometimes but you’re always in a never ending loop, always searching for it.

*The moon in astrology, when looking into the mother, who’s ruled by the moon in astrology, describes your relationship with her, what she’s like, how she raised you etc...

*Ex: taurus moons, your mother gave you many gifts, she adored youu as taurus is ruled venus which rules gifts and appreciation, she was also very relaxed in your childhood, she still is now. This relationship is a very calm, steady one, moon is exalted in taurus meaning the role of the moon is comfortable in relaxed and comfy taurus.

*Ex: a moon in 8th, the house of intense and psychic scorpio, could have a psychic or even telepathic bond to the mother, this is a very strong connection overall and depending on its sign and aspects is where you’ll find the specifics of the relationship from, the details, how the relationship is flavored.

*Sun in 12th indicates an absent father figure. This placement is difficult, i’m so sorry if you have it because you can never feel like you can be yourself, it’s hidden from you. With any other placement in astrology, there’s a gorgeous, forgiving upside to it, you’re very healing and understanding of others, an empath or at least someone who sucks in the negative vibes out the environment, it can get quite exhausting !! so always need to seclude yourself now and then, you’re very loyal and caring of your loved ones, people love you for your sensitivity and empathy as this placement also makes you an old soul, someone overflowing with wisdom others rely on.

*5th house shows you what your child will be like, what traits they embody, what they will do and even how they act.

*Capricorn risings look elvish, they have high cheekbones a lot like a LOTR character and elvish, chiseled ears. It’s not OUT there but it’s subtle.

*Chiron in 9th has experienced religious trauma.

*A lot of 12th or 8th house placements carry a lot of karma.

*Mercury-pluto (especially negative) can become inconsiderate in arguments, they bring up a ton of shit to use against you, only as long as they can win.

*Scorpio suns are far more optimistic and light hearted than the moon sign.

*Mercury-ascendant aspects can make even an introverted rising sign more out-going, open, talkative (not that introverted risings can’t be talkative this is just what comes with this placement).

*You may be good at something without realizing it, take a peak at your 12th house or quintiles !! For quintiles, look up the trine form of whatever two planets are aspected for the general description since there’s not too much to find online sadly. 12th house is something you don’t really know or realize you’re good at, especially early in life, the secret talent pertaining to whichever sign or planet are ruling/in this house.

*Leo venus take pride in their loverss like damnnnn they literally treat their partners as royalty, king and queen, kissing the ground they walk on and everything, they’re so devoted in love, it’s adorable !! <33

*Pisces and leo moons, THE dreamiest, most romantic moon sign pairr, it’s well known pisces is the hopeless romantic of the zodiac, however to bring up the flamboyant, dramatic leo moon when describing a dreamy romantic you wonder, really ?? Yes this is extremely true ! Both signs, pisces and leo, are fairly alike, almost alike in fact, considering they both create a inconjunction in the natal chart, two signs who share some similarities while still contradicting one another in ways they express these similarities, both pisces and leo are creative, talented, have a love for the arts, film, music, loyal as friends and love to care for others, both are insanely idealistic. Leo rules the child remember !! so they’re a childlike sign with young idealism, an idealistic moon sign here. Both leo and pisces moons are children at heart, they’re so gooey and sweet.

*Sun in 10th can get any job they apply for, they could even be terrible at that job they want, the one they want to try out for, they would even have a breakdown over how terrible they were in an interview but still get the job like HOWW- WITCHCRAFTT.

*Aquarius mercuries were known as the smartest kid in class, the einstein’s of the class, everyone asked for their answers for the homework, they just carry this flair of intellectual superiority just like the sun sign haha.

*Your 12th house is what you unconsciously give off the vibe of, your ascendant and midheaven are noticeable layers, different types of layers of you !!but the subtle layers of the 12th house, sign or planet, can always be sensed unconsciously, 12th house energies are at a higher octave, a higher vibration than the other houses, even 11th, you can notice a person’s subtle 12th house energy but they’re still completely unaware of it as it’s ! hidden ! from them.

*Aquarius venus, and really all air venuses in general, are soo stereotyped UGHH, what I mean by stereotyped is the descriptions of each of these venus signs is literally like the same shit over and overrr again, they all get terrible reps in the astro community it seems almost close minded because it’s also such a hugee generalization. It’s only about how the air venus energy is used, manifested in the person, if its underdeveloped or not. If it’s underdeveloped it’s going to be chaotically afloat from material love affairs, which earth venuses don’ttt like, water too, fire can handle the floaty-ness but if the passion’s not there- BYE !! If you develop an air venus well enough, you can balance the material and intellectual realms in your relationships, this is kinda natural for earth heavy charts with one the air signs here, however fire or even more air could become a little tricky to ground yourself in relationships. Just let your partners know you deserve your space because you guys can really run out of mental power after a while, so it’s necessary for you to recharge !! just don’t ghost people completely when you do, it’s where this immortal stereotype comes from.

*Saturn dominant people are flawless beings.

*Saturn in 3rd, YOU GUYS ARE SOOOSOO SOOO SMART AHH. Their minds are always running at a fast pace like literal lightning, or they become too overwhelming (not in a bad sense ofcc, it’s just how it is) that the person’s speech rhythm is kinda forgotten about in a way, it feels like that their mouths aren’t always running in sync. The thought they’re going to express into words should come out but it’s so quick or even “heavy” it jumbles up a sentence or it causes the person to mix up a word or two. Their minds are fast fast fastt but they feel like their mouths are running in literal slow motion. There’s nothing wrong with this, this placement makes amazingly smart peoplee. Just relax, try letting yourself go in conversation, let all that big, brain energy freee !!

*Alsoo, as singers they would and definitely ALWAYSS get their notes right, they have actual PERFECT voices, they really should become writers or, like I said, singing would be perfect for them because they would never mess up lmaoo.

*Libra, computerized concern and sympathy...

*Pluto in 8th feel unbeatable, indestructible almost, they have above average regenerative abilities, they have the best survival tactics but they keep it a secret, it’s 8th house we’re talking about.

*Whatever saturn is in is the area where you’ll become flawless in, you’ll master that area throughout your life with time.

*There is a guiding planet in astrology, the planet that is closest behind the sun, it’s considered your “second” chart ruler, or basically has the energy of it because you can probably relate to it being one of the most prominent energies in your chart.

*Sagittarius//9th house mercury is soooo blunt, so blunt. Wait did I mention they’re SOOO SO BLUNT.

*Moon in 5th need to perform, they love to get out on stage and perform with their entire hearts, they’ll do amazing in the performing arts, theatre, and honestly they probably already aree. These people are so playful and generally so fun to be around, they’re natural hypemen as well !!

*Taurus venus love to be appreciated by their partners, the gifts, the kisses, the food and allll.

*Neptune in 3rd feel everything in their environment, they can sift through the energies and vibes, it’s second nature, no not second nature, FIRST nature, they’re one with everything around them. Their minds are like a hazy, cloudy ocean containing every drop, every thought of a place, a person.

*Moon in 11th, and 10th too, have a special ability to understand and sympathize with the public, they always know what the public wants and even how to give it to them. This can easily get them famous since they’re extremely understanding people, especially if moon is healthy in the chart.

*Someone with a lot of capricorn/10th house or aquarius/11th house energy is very extroverted, they enjoy socializing with others but suffer from social burn outs often, they often need to recharge.

*Scorpio risings have intense voices, like their tone radiates throughout your head and it can feel intense overall, even when they’re speaking casually. The specific flavor or tone doesn’t matter but how it sounds overall is piercing.

*In astrology, libra rising starts the house cusps with each houses sister signs ruling each cusps ex: pisces rules 6th house, the house of virgo in astrology. Symbolically, libra wants to balance out the houses by blending the energies with the sister signs together, by with what is (house number) and how it’s done (sign on each house cusp), for balanceee !!

*Moon conjunction uranus TRANSITSS can cause literal earthquakes on earth, shocking news or something shocking or groundbreaking will happen that day either around the world and in personal, daily life. Ex: this transit happened on halloween during the blue moon, so basically no one ever trick or treats in my neighborhood, like barely anyone comes out i mean, it’s always 5 houses apart where people typically hand out candy, some people are just hanging out, we always run out of houses to go to since it’s not very active, but this year EVERYONE was out trick or treating it was so crazy to see so many people out, it was quite literally shocking because that actually never happens also there’s a whole pandemic going on too lmaooo.

[venusiastro]

Moon in 1st house- The emotions are the filter of everything they do. They have an underbelly fully exposed and don’t feel any shame in this. This is their strength. Their vulnerability at the forefront is courage and alliance and others see these individuals as greatly inspiring and lovable. There is a strong tension these individuals feel often within themselves a constant need to express and a restless nature that is hard to contain. They can be quite wise and take shape to any situation at hand and feel every undercurrent around them. Empaths to their core this position creates an open wound that pours and pours without any scar. They can be quite hard on themselves and have issues with their lungs, sinuses and can build up phlegm easily. This is because the watery moon creates an effect on the breathing and head of the individual. An easily seen motive and authenticity that is unmatched. It’s very motivating to see how true to themselves these natives are. Though often they deny themselves and have issues with pin pointing who they are since it seems to change so easily to themselves, theyre quite candid and easy to have softness toward. They’re extremely charismatic and can easily pull others into their spaces. Making people feel instantly connected and understood. They’re lovable, they’re admirable and extremely intoxicating. You can’t help but want to know them more since they’re so authentic and true to themselves it’s hard to miss them. One thing about these people is that they just shine. They shine effortlessly and are illuminated from within. They at first, can feel embarrassed or feel as if it’s wrong on their part to have any sort of attention on them. They must learn that it’s okay to shine, that they should let their authentic and most lovable parts of themselves simply be what they are. To love them too without any worry of what others may think about it. 

Moon in 2nd house- Contained, selective and possessive of their emotions. These individuals are very much so layered beyond comprehension, though they may seem stoic or aloof emotionally, they tend to hideaway within themselves and lock away their emotions like treasure in a safe. This is because they prize their subjective experience and have filtered it with great poise and nuance. They know how to categorize their memories like film strips. There is deep wisdom of experience in their bodies and they know how each sense is connected to something beyond them. Though often we disregard and say senses are not “factual” or “objective” there is still a potent truth within each of them. They remember each face, each name, each touch and taste in their streamlined reveries. It’s important to them and it’s incredibly impactful when it’s harmonized into something they take great pride and passion in. Moon in the 2nd house makes you dig your toes into warm sand. Make you smell the sweet nostalgia of a meal. The beautiful melody of a voice. They all leave handprints here. The mind and heart is fertile and sensorial. They live in a world of true melody and intensity. They want to mesh with the emotions they feel and express them in a way that is tangible or beautifying. Whether it be art and music or sex and exercise. The body is a machine and it retains so many beautiful kaleidoscopic bits of wisdom within that we often overlook. To simply be, to simply enjoy to simply laugh and love and embrace each moment as if it were a symphony. As if it were the last. 

Moon in 3rd house- Life is a constant satiation of understanding and learning. Connections are to be made in every facet and to be dissected, toyed with and innovated. These individuals are extremely inventive, their emotions are guided by a need to understand things and to be fully immersed in the space of creation. Their heart is their mind, and they mind is always turning and soaking in the impressions they make on the world. Their not easily persuaded, though they may make you think they are. They’re more likely interested in seeing the reactions they can get out of you, or what they do. They’re dedicated to their experiences in life. They enjoy nothing more than something new, tantalizing and effective that causes them to feel churned and excited. To them, everything is something to be maximized and made anew. They’re hard to pin and are more than always in their heads and thinking on something to stir for themselves. Projects and novelty are what keep them refreshed and emotionally fulfilled. Connections with others also fuel them as long as they can take something and give something new in each interaction. They’re curious and want nothing more than to see the “what if?” in most things. They live in multiple parallels that are not easily seen. For them, emotions are to be experienced and put away. Or talked about and not dwelled upon. Though some things truly do stick with them, they won’t allow anyone to truly know this, as they themselves don’t always know “what they feel”. They have a very hard time with placing themselves in emotions, and their tempers are also something they cannot really place. Though they may not internally be able to place them and simply let them come and go at times. They can be excellent at using these frustrations or turmoils to become a driving force of exertion. Writing, talking, dancing, painting, sewing, cooking etc. Are outlets they can excell wonderfully in because it’s a way to release so many pent up and misunderstood parts of themselves. Overall they’re like stained glass windows. They have many shards of themselves that don’t seem to connect alone, but are all deeply interwoven into something quite beautiful and to be admired though it’s not always easy to understand, it’s only to be…experienced. 

Moon in 4th house- There is a spikiness to these indivuduals emotional landscape. They’re not so easily forthcoming or open when it comes to how they feel, but this is not to be mistaken for being unemotive or unfeeling. These individual’s are deeply sensitive and attuned. They’re introspective, reflective, emotional and very intuitive. Their hearts are armored and made like an inverted iron maiden. The spikes stick outward, but within the chastity of this armor is a softness, a dew covered flower, a small tide pool full of trinkets and stored memories. They’re like locket hearts with fervor and passion interwoven into their being. They’re extremely protective of their emotional world and are always waxing and waning with their expressions. They build a home in their minds and create a sanctuary from every beautiful moment they live. There’s a heat within them like a hearth that isn’t so easy to feel. It warms themselves more than anything and when they feel it’s like setting this entire sanctuary on fire. It shakes them to the core. They’re extremely tough despite their soft hearted center. They’re resilient and tenacious, and can be very crafty when they learn the ins and outs of an individual and their motives. They know how to comfort themselves best, and sometimes they may freeze up when comforting others only because it creates a space for them to extend a sort of vulnerability and they don’t easily give this part of theme selves away. They hold and store these parts of themselves closely and though they can attune your how you may feel they don’t always know how to show this. They let few people into this inner sanctuary of theirs, if they let anyone in at all. If they do, this is a great sign of trust and love and they rarely let anyone go easily that they’ve allowed in. They’re very sentimental about the memories they create and everything is given a meaning or feeling. They’re not easy to truly know at first but once they let you in, they’re the most lovable and caring individuals you’ll ever meet. They nurture you and connect on a level that isn’t easy for most.

Moon in 5th house- The heart is ablaze and passionate. Everything is felt with fervor and ardor and the more they feel the more they must express and exert this passion. There is no holding back here, creativity is high and the need to show and demonstrate the exact emotion is necessary. These individuals are enveloping to say the least. They are warm and have a golden aura shrouded in everything they do. It’s always touched with something personal and almost ritualistic to them. They’re not ones for the weak and are quite theatrical and open in their emotional landscape. They have a deep love of hobbies or interests that can showcase or help them create. When they feel it’s never quick to fade, it must be felt fully and to the brim and though they are capable of containing this within them, they much rather release their stirred hearts and share this. They’re extremely generous and love to give of themselves not only their time, but their essence, their warmth. Everything to them is a way to share with others and have others truly connect to them in this way. They aren’t selfish in fact theyre extremely loving and selfless if they love you. They can go to the ends of the earth simply to show you how much they feel for you. They romanticize their lives and feelings beautifully and can become amazing artists who are hard to miss. They have a signature to everything they express and do and it’s uncanny. They are stubborn, and have a hard time changing their minds. They like to stay true to themselves and their hearts desires and this is hard to change. They truly do know how to capture the hearts of those around them with the way they authentically express themselves. It’s scintillating and truly something to appreciate and admire.

Moon in 6th house- There is a striving in this mansion. A need to expand the self in multiple ways. Much like the 9th house, but more in a mental and physical sense this house holds ambition and a need for constant progression of the self. Whether in the work they do, the fantasies they create, the relationships they build, the goals they set. They need to feel themselves ever evolving in order to feel fulfilled. Competitive and hard on themselves they can have issues when it comes to self worth basing their value in what they do and not sitting proudly in who they are. There is a striving to be, to be embodied in themselves fully but they feel the need to do this in modes related to grounding themselves and progressing in some way. There is always something in the back of their head that moves them forward and it’s one of their biggest strengths in life. They tend to truly want to fulfill roles and can shape shift by taking on many hats and using themselves as a tool to create a balance in the world around them. Creating this semblance brings them the biggest joy and emotional fulfillment. Knowing they’re in control of themselves and the order they can bring into their lives. They have big hearts and always seeking to give and help those they truly care for and love around them. They’re always invested in upgrading themselves and taking care of themselves in some way. This is incredibly inspiring to those around them and it creates a beautiful streamline of love and adoration that they sometimes forget they need. Overall their emotionalscapes thrive on progression, evolution and positive development.l, and they adore being appreciated and loved in every phase of their lives.

Moon in 7th house- The moon in the 7th house brings about a mirror like quality as well as a lot of refinement to the individuals emotions. There is a depth of “reflecting” internally the outer impressions that are made on the individual. Every single experience is about impression and the way they can effect or be effected in their lives. They can be very protective of this side of them without realizing it. Often needing to make those around them happy as they love the idea of influencing the impressions made on them by being the first to give one. This can be very internalized and even subconscious on them. These people are greatly drawn to creativity and artistry as they love to be the one to create “cause” for effect. There is a see sawing within them that creates this. The scales are always balancing out in some way or another whether this be a conscious or subconscious effort. Overall these individuals love the relational aspects in life. Whether it be their relationships with those around them, the passions they have, their connection to a greater whole or being, their relation with themselves or their careers, etc. they create harmony and balance in everything they do because it’s innate within them. Their emotions are dependent on the balancing aspect in life. It gives them a peace like no other to know they can influence and create that semblance. One thing they truly need are ways to truly channel their emotions and refine them in some way. Poetry, music and writing come very naturally to these people. Creating a beautiful outcome from chaos is very cathartic to them. Even designing or anything with structures such as homes or business development are very good for them. They love the idea of creating and giving life to something whole and greater than them through means of refinement and beauty in some way. They can be very challenging on themselves because emotions can be so obscure and hard to place that the refinement process may take time to internalize and reflect upon. They may do this by taking time for themselves but more often than not they need the help and impressions of others to truly come to a resolve for themselves. This is a beautiful placement as it truly creates this receptive and giving nature that is not so natural for other houses to do. There is great grace and they aren’t outwardly very emotive as they tend to err more for logic and objective perspective and truly understanding the emotion over simply feeling it alone. They like to experience both, and truly do feel and create beautiful internal and external spaces for themselves and those around them in this way.

Moon in 8th house- The moon is full and filled with depths and currents in this house. There is something innately powerful and very hard to pin down in this house. The emotions become like fish swimming in a dark abyss with caves and trenches that are seemingly daunting at first, but can become a silent and safe place within. The outside world can be scary here, and the inflictions and impressions others give you can feel like a betrayal to the self at times. Often the first phase of life is difficult and challenging emotionally. Many trials and tribulations no matter how small or large that have the power create internal upheavals and intensely felt reactions. This can feel like losing control at first because everything is felt with heat and fervor. The more mature and wise the individual becomes the more they learn how to reign in the waves they feel and create a sort of oasis within the storms that fill their minds. It seems impossible to others because it takes great self knowing and mastery to do this. These natives do not take their self preservation or self knowing lightly. To them it’s been light years and lifetimes of evolution and a constant churning to fully FEEL themselves. They are so aware and innately knowing of who they are that this creates a very intuitive and aroused understanding of those around them. They may feel like they’re hard to crack because they are so internal and deeply set within themselves that they choose what and who to let in. They’re very curious about others internal landscapes, so they observe and learn from afar. This can make it hard for them to truly get close to others, and this is their greatest lesson, vulnerability and letting go. Overall they have the capacity to do this, since intimacy is something they’re well equipped for. They’re the ones who choose in the end. Some it comes easier to, others it takes longer and can truly be another lifetime to accomplish. They’re so intimate within themselves it can be hard to let another in between. Yet, when they choose to let you in, it can be all encompassing for them and their beloved. The 8th house is scary to the outsiders because it is the internal unknown. The individual living in the 8th house has already seen and experienced their inner unknown that it no longer scares them. They can be great guides to others and heal many through their interpersonal wisdom. 

Moon in 9th house- There is an inquisitive and internally expanding nature in this house. Endowed with a need to experience and satiate this curiosity with fully immersing ones self into each experience. Like a balloon every new lesson and meaning created expands the inner world. Heightening oneself closer to the heavens. These individuals carry a well of inner wealth and are transfixed into the ever evolving parts of themselves. They are full of life force and optimism and can be drenched in the gold of wisdom. They have a very detached nature when it comes to most risk or limits. They see most as self imposed but of course this depends on their philosophy and beliefs of life itself. In this house the individuals are here to fully encompass what it is to be alive. They want to truly dig within themselves and reap every fortune and treasure that is stored internally and truly feel it and become it. One thing about this abundant house is a dogmatic sort of nature. The emotions are inflated and can become extremely overwhelming at times and create a very firey and explosive display. Even if they are held internally it can feel like an expanding balloon that once popped can become overflowing. They love to give and can be very generous with their wisdom, energy and hearts. They are everflowing with this inner wealth that they share it and feel greatly fulfilled. They have a fire and tenacity that is unmissed and can be felt all around. They seem to attract others in some way or another and can be a source of both admiration and jealousy from others because of how truly internally rich they are. Whether a fertile imagination, manifestation, tenacity and ambition, empathy or a well of philosophy and optimism. They are filled to the brim. They do have the downfall of feeling very much. This can catapult them to incredibly highs and blowing lows. It’s their greatest lesson to learn boundaries, balance and emotional temperance. Learning to not indulge so easily in their emotions and to learn how to manage them in a healthy and constructive way. They truly can be blinded by emotion and can become fervent in what they feel without processing them and adjusting to their comfort. Their best bet is to feel, sit back, think and remember they have the power to do with this emotion as they choose. Their great love of understanding comes into play for themselves when they properly reflect and honor what they feel instead of simply throwing it out and indulging in it right away. Regardless these people are the life force the inspires everyone around them to live fully and without hesitation. 

Moon in 10th house- Karma has lived in these individuals bones for lifetimes and there is a naturally melancholic and smoky aura to these people. Though aspects can dissolve this and make it less heavy this moon is always drawn to exerting in order to numb the inner afflictions. Both needing to feel fully but at times being too afraid to dive in completely. The moon is restless here and greatly daunted by the ever changing tidal waves of elusive emotion. Here is where the earth meets the ocean and slowly dissolves itself into granules of sand, releasing fossils and bones buried deeply within. At times these people feel very detached from who they are and how they feel and this can cause a greatly intense conflict. Most of the time these natives have an outlet and drive to make this entire existence count to themselves. They strive to be their most profound and successful self. They’re incredibly knowing in everything they do and can at times be very secretive about their knowing. They keep their layers hidden away like love letters and go about, guiding others without outright delegating. They’re very influential and inspiring to others and their emotions are quite complex and hard to fully grasp. They like to ground the flighty emotional landscape by doing and working it out in some way. Whether physically, mentally or spiritually. These individuals though traditional for some, are actually keenly adept and aware of the spiritual realm and can feel greatly connected to it through nature in particular, becoming great teachers and protectors. They feel at peace usually in more mountainous areas and feel a safe haven there (from observation). They’re quite active both mentally and physically and need to constantly be in motion or doing something to feel themselves “working” through whatever they’re emotionally processing. It’s hard for them to simply sit through a feeling. They need to work through it silently. They’re easy to respect and to come to for both guidance and advice because they simply understand the way the world works and how it effects others emotionally, they can be quite penetrative much like 8th house moons and are keen on the depths of others without giving away too much about themselves. Overall they simply want to feel understood and respected and this is something that can come to them when they learn how to understand themselves and their emotional landscape. 

Moon in 11th house- The moon is a veil in this realm. It’s shrouded in a mist of technicolored dreams and messages from other planes. This is considered the beginning of other side and the bridging of spiritual and human realm. In this house there is a shroud of both knowing and unknowing the emotional world and to simply observe it from a standpoint of indulgence or passivity. This house is hard to place in a sense that there is an expansiveness much like the 9th house but it has a control and a balance to the degree of detachment. It’s a very complex home for the moon as she feels both maternal toward the greater whole, yet takes enjoyment in the provocation of others. Whether through sex, art, violence (though most are quite humane) or any form of sacral expression. This is actually a house that is pivotal for the emotional soul, almost like a tipping point before the dive into the abyss of “the dark night of the soul” here is where the fight between flesh and spirit are extremely concerned with the individuation of oneself. Separating oneself from “God” and “others” to become ones own “god” to become ones own compass. This is hardly talked about but this can be quite an intense house for the moon to sleep in. The energy is exerted through both helping humanity and being very detached from it at the same time. Wanting to observe humanity as it is and how they fit into it in some way and how they don’t. These individuals are extremely intoxicating and appealing to others because they are so humane and docile but have a “bite” and unconscious provocation to them. They know how to stir others to encompass their own journeys and stay steady in themselves fully. They’re amazing listeners and more than anything are usually people of few words and can be quite shy, but shine beautifully in their expressions. When they set their dreamy minds to a goal they usually attain it because they can be incredible manifestors. One thing about them is they can cause controversy without doing anything to arouse it consciously. Because they have such a remote nature that seems almost heavenly and unattainable they can cause others to feel as if they’re intentional in whatever projections they create in others. Regardless of this effect they have a naturally cool and sensual aura that is extremely mesmerizing and scintillating . Creating a rippling admiration and spark in others to fully embody themselves.

Moon in 12th house- This house is the house of the universal heart. The soul has seen many lives and has sailed and swam through the depths of many oceans. Along the way they gave away pieces of their hearts and souls and sometimes they forget these small shards of themselves. In this house the individual feels like they’re scattered across universes and lifetimes. They feel like they need to pick up all of the pieces all over again and feel “full” again. These souls are extremely adept, intuitive and highly creative. Their blood is full of memories they cannot place. They miss these and yearn for them yet they cannot place where they left it or where it comes from, there is restlessness here and an eternal yearning for the lost pieces they let float away. The funny thing is, they are the oceans they lost everything in. They are the water and the depths themselves. They hold all of the pieces in them and each of these little parts are living and being carried around in currents an trenches and caves and pools and they are alive in every single one. These natives are extremely soft hearted to the core, yet they are very deeply detached as well. There is a hypersensitivity to the world around them and are encapsulated in beautiful technicolored sensations that ignite colors and music in their souls. They’re moved easily by the ethereal wavelengths that surround all of us. They are attuned to each one and are aware of the shifts and currents and changes. They can be quite moody, emotional and also very shifty. They cannot place why they are moved so easily as it’s hard for them to understand and they hold this deeply within them and outpour this in private usually through artistic means. They make extremely potent alchemists, manifestors and can master many magickal and occultic activities as they’re so keenly aware. They are poetic souls and are falling in love endlessly with not only souls but sounds, tastes, smells, emotions, stories, mysteries and best of all the magick that surrounds us all. They can see the hidden in everything because they dwell there. People can sense easily that these individuals are in tune with something otherworldly and even if the native themself is far more logical, practical and realistic there is a well of dynamism that is uncanny. People can confide in them easily and feel that these people truly do understand them. Because most of the time, they really do. These individuals are mysterious, intense, sensorial and imaginative and they have vivid inner worlds and colors that scintillate their being even when they cannot understand or place it quite easily. As they mature in their bestowed wisdom they can become incredible healers, artists and messengers. Reminding us that life is meant to be treasured including the worlds that live within us.

⚡️ Why are they mad at me? ⚡️

Check sun🌞, moon🌙 & MARS⚔️

✨⭐️ quick note: this is not about who’s at ‘fault’, i have simply provided some (practical) guidelines intended to explain and deal with anger in the signs ⭐️✨

⚡️ Aries (fire, cardinal): You ‘won’ (at some mundane activity). You insulted their ‘virility’, their ‘potency’ (yup, women too). A somewhat ‘basic’ emotional reaction that is usually not that difficult to understand (watch out for physical reactions!).

‘[Angry, non-verbal noises].’

What you can do: Try to distract them, do some other activity—or else they’ll try to ‘beat’ you until you both pass out from exhaustion. Exaggerate your ‘humorous tone’ when poking fun at them.

⚡️ Taurus (earth, fixed): There is most likely a practical, ‘common sense’ reason for their anger. Not prone to getting angry unexpectedly or for ‘irrational’ reasons.

‘If you’d just start [behaviour that actually makes sense].’

What you can do: Don’t argue with them. They’ll repeat the same thing ad nauseum & will never (ever!) change their mind (only internally/over long stretches of time). Consider changing certain behaviours: Taureans don’t demand much, won’t demand the impossible.

⚡️ Gemini (air, mutable): You interpreted their words literally/you don’t know the value of an (quote unquote) ‘interesting’ conversation/are limiting their self-expression. Be prepared for a verbal tirade; there is little chance of you being able to explain your point of view.

‘Sometimes I just say stuff...’

What you can do: Go talk to some water-dominant people. Alternatively: If you get to know the Gemini in question better, you’ll learn to tell when they’re being serious & when they’re just ‘experimenting’ with thoughts & concepts (hint: it’s usually the latter). Also: When they’re angry, just let them talk until they’re done.

⚡️ Cancer (water, cardinal): You offended someone they care about/someone they think needs protecting. Watch out: they will know how to hurt you because they are so easily hurt themselves/are emotionally intuitive, sensitive.

‘You can’t say that to x!!’

What you can do: Apologise to the person you (may have) offended. Simple. Tried & true.

⚡️ Leo (fire, fixed): You humiliated them (in public) or messed with their public image and/or self-image. They don’t feel valued for their gifts, they don’t feel a ‘heart to heart’ connection to you & feel you’re inauthentic.

‘You made me look stupid!’

What you can do: Verbally express your (sincere!) admiration for them. Describe how you’ll act differently next time. Make them feel less self-concious.

⚡️ Virgo (earth, mutable): You broke some very strange, very specific rule of theirs you weren’t aware of. How is it possible for them to be angry about such minor transgressions? Are they angry for ‘deeper’, more psychological reasons? You might never know.

‘You know that goes there!’

What you can do: Make a mental note of what set them off. Ask them if they’re really angry about something else. Remind them there’s a limit to what can (realistically) be expected of other people.

⚡️ Libra (air, cardinal): You only picked up on their anger because they started being passive agressive. It takes a lot of time/effort to get to the actual confrontation/the ‘why?’ part. Oftentimes it’s a case of them perceiving something you did as ‘tactless’, ‘inappropriate’, ‘rude’. Maybe you destroyed the harmony/peace in a certain social setting.

‘Sometimes I just feel like people don’t really appreciate me enough, y’know?’

What you can do: Patiently try to find out the issue at hand. If you’re genuinely interested in solving the conflict/hearing their side of the story, don’t intimidate them by raising your voice or confronting them head-on. Also: maybe buy a book on social etiquette??

⚡️ Scorpio (water, fixed): Angry due to deep psychological reasons that have their roots in childhood & are known only to their therapist. Will use their almost ‘psychic’ intuition to hit you where it hurts & to—ultimately—make you retreat & leave them alone.

‘...’

‘So going back to what you said last time about your first day of kindergarten...’

What you can do: Never assume they’re angry cause of petty reasons, even though it might manifest that way. They’ve probably been ‘brooding’ over the issue for (literal) ages. Don’t assume you’ll be able to understand said issue without having a lot of insight into their psyche/personal history. Their words will cause permant psychic damage so make sure you have either a. good psychic defenses or b. a good support system (you may need to see your therapist afterwards).

⚡️ Sagittarius (fire, mutable): You attacked their belief system. If you’re ‘lucky’ (& depending on how close you are), they might try to ‘enlighten’ you. If not, they’ll find someone else: ‘positive vibes only.’

‘[Walks away].’

What you can do: Try to approach conversations with them differently—‘Oh, that’s fascinating, yesterday I learnt [something that expands on their notion]’ instead of ‘But if you believe x is true, it logically follows you must also believe y is true.’ Or just go talk to a Virgo or an Aquarius.

⚡️ Capricorn (earth, cardinal): Some all-to-legitimate reason (Although keep in mind: they do have very high standards). Harsh & severe; a reality-check.

‘You have no right to speak to me like that. You should try focusing more on your personal growth instead of trying to pull other people down all the time. I’ll talk to you again once you’ve become a better person.’

What you can do: They probably weren’t trying to make you cry; they just believe in the whole ‘tough love’ approach to things. They usually respond well to open communiction so just tell them if they hurt you. Show them you’re trying to become a better person—but not because you’re intimidated by them.

⚡️ Aquarius (air, fixed): They may not actually be angry, just trying to demonstrate their intellectual ‘superiority’. They can easily get preachy (‘annoying’), disregarding subtle social/emotional cues on their quest for the ‘truth’. If they are angry, you might not be able to tell the difference: they will do everything in their power to remain ‘unaffected’ & ‘rational’: they will deeply insult you like it’s nothing.

‘I thought we went over this: [something you haven’t thought through as well as they have].’

What you can do: If you want to have your emotions/the conflict analyzed by them in great detail, tell them openly (without getting emotional) how you feel—they’re fascinated by interpersonal conflicts, others emotions. If not, drop it. Don’t expect them to spontaneously start talking about their own feelings (If they do attempt this, they probably care about you very much (!)). It’ll usually take them a while to ‘figure out’ their emotions, by which time you’ll probably get a ‘loosely-scripted’ explanation.

⚡️ Pisces (water, mutable): They’re more upset than they are angry. It could literally be about anything. The world is a harsh place. Victim complex (!!).

‘It’s just... [bursts into tears].’

What you can do: Make them the focus, not you. Comfort them. Listen to them. Don’t ridicule them. That said: they’re not always the victim. You might have to hurt their feelings at some point in time.

“People with an emphasis on the water houses live within themselves and are extremely hard to get to know (especially if the Sun, the symbol of the individual self, is in one of these houses). So much of their life energy operates at a subliminal level; so much of their motivation is influenced by irrational, unexplainable, and often bewildering nuances. Their sensitivities are unpredictable, since one never knows what will activate an old memory, irritate an old sore spot, or energize a troublesome complex. All of these houses, therefore, correlate with the need to attain emotional peace and freedom from the past, and anyone with major emphasis on these houses in the natal chart has a need to bring to thesurface the hauntings and fears generated by past experiences and to let these feelings be illuminated in full consciousness.”

— Stephen Arroyo, “Astrology, Karma & Transformation”

random astrology thoughts

there are certain sun/moon combinations that manage to attribute the sun sign an almost magnetic aura. this isn’t a strictly scorpio(ascendent) thing, but scorpio moons do tend to radiate the most powerfully

leo, aquarius and libra have very peculiar habits when it comes to parenthood, to the point they might make things harder for themselves and others by just ‘minding their business’

virgo rising is quite the chameleon. they assume whatever influences surrounds them and channels them into a thriving force

sun square pluto is a harsh, daunting aspect. it’s often associated with death, with many famous people that had it dying abruptly. but it might also be a tool if used properly. the individual remains forever bond to the thin veil between the worlds

sagittarius aspects are fun, yet they easily make one insensitive/arrogant in regards of the things associated with the house/planet they occupy

virgo moons have a tendecy towards handling their insecurities in unhealthy ways. especially if the individual has an air sun/over influence in their chart it will be hard for them to divide themselves from the hurt

the 9th house is like the magician card of tarot. no matter what it touches, it spreads unpredictability and some sort of day to day magic

i don’t know if it’s just my experience, but people with water suns/risings do tend to be the ones having blue eyes amongst a crowd

meanwhile, strongly influenced earth individuals have something veiny or tree-like about them. it’s not that they’re all especially tall/sturdy, but kind of firm-skinned if it makes any sence

negative capricorn aspects in a chart usually means that the person subconsciously refuses to change for the better, or is stuborn to accept faults in their ways when it comes to the respective placement

if i had to choose two signs that had least in common, it’d be aries and gemini. at first sight there might be some similarities, but if analyzed throughly, they hold two very different sets of principles and motivations

YOUR RISING SIGN - NICE TO MEET YOU!

Rising sign is not something that ‘kicks in after you have turned 30’ (believe it or not, I’ve heard this too many times to count) or something only other people can see and you are not aware of it. It is always present, it’s your skin that, unlike snakes, you can not shed. When you meet new people, it is the first thing they see. If you have planets conjuct your Rising, they also show immediately. Rising sign does not describe physical appearance only, that depends A LOT on your genetics. But there is certain mannerism of each Rising sign that is different from the other. We all have physical traits of our Rising sign, even if they aren’t too prominent because of some other influences (aspects to your rising, outer planets in the first house etc)

ARIES RISING: They are very ‘in your face’ and can come off as rude sometimes. They like things that revolve around them, in that respect they are much like children. Can seem (and really be) uninterested in topics that do not concern them directly and generally speaking most of the time they pay attention only if the topic of conversation is somehow about them. They can have prominent heads and/or foreheads and they are normally very honest and upfront.

TAURUS RISING: The neck, the voice! They tend to slow things down, can’t be rushed and speak in the same manner. They are generally seen as attractive, they enjoy comfort and like to be surrounded with useful things. They are very sensual and like to touch and smell things. All the Taurus Rising people I know personally have a great, melodic voice, even if they can’t sing (and almost all of those I know can)

GEMINI RISING: They talk with their hands and tend to look younger than their peers. Can be really loud and somehow people always notice them (they are 50% adorable, 50% annoying as fuck) Their talks have no filter, they’ll just say whatever off the top of their head or, alternatively, make people awkward with their silence if they need to think about something (you can literally hear Geminis think, it’s common for all the Gemini placements). They can talk with literally anyone and are generally popular with friends.

CANCER RISING: They can have ‘love handles’ or effortlessly flat/six-pack stomach. Their weight might fluctuate a lot throughout life and they tend to retain water and often feel ‘bloated’, even if they aren’t. Cancer Rising have watery eyes, no matter the size or colour. They are seen as soft and caring and people are generally surprised when they get to know them better and their other placements come to the surface! Not that they are not caring, it’s just that their softness is rarely a weakness, as it may be perceived.

LEO RISING: You must have heard it before, but Leo risings do have noticeable hair. Even if it isn’t thick and mane-like, it’s still something they pay attention to. They really care what people think of them, even if they hide it well. They can respond to criticism in a dramatic way, but they are generally lovable and warm, and small children are especially drawn to them. They can express themselves in quite a dramatic way and are born entertainers.

VIRGO RISING: They like correcting people, but are not mean, they just want you to improve and have the urge to teach you something. Although they are often very smart, they’ll put themselves down a lot. You may feel judged around them, the way they speak is clear and very much to the point. Their attention to details can be bothersome at times, because there is no thing, no matter how small, that they won’t like to analyze.

LIBRA RISING: Society darlings. They ooze charm and it’s unstoppable. They often have dimples when they smile and there is just something cool about them. Libra Rising is never ‘in your face’, but if they want to convince you to do something, they will and you won’t know what hit you. They’ll probably agree a lot with whoever they’re talking to, so they can be perceived as manipulative, although their priority is peace and harmony around them.

SCORPIO RISING: When they speak, it can sound dramatic, severe sometimes, definitely intimidating. They can be either hilariously funny or bitterly sarcastic, often both. You can feel their mood and they can really make you uncomfortable. It’s because they’ll rarely show immediately what’s inside them, no matter how hurt or even happy they are. They must always be in control and if their inner storm is brewing, it turns into a scary expression on their face.

SAGITTARIUS RISING: They can have strong legs and/or butt and talk loudly, with exaggeration. They might sound as if they’re bragging about the adventures in their life (whatever they consider to be adventurous). Silly and goofy, they are at the same time wise and philosophical. If you don’t have a sense of humor, which is something they have in abundance and appreciate in other people, they’ll be gone and won’t lie about that.

CAPRICORN RISING: The older they get, the more confident they are. Reliable and won’t waste your time so you might as well not waste theirs. Their  manner of speech is steady, they don’t like to ‘beautify’ things for the sake of conversation, but are surprisingly open when it comes to their personal struggles - as well as achievements. If you have something meaningful to say, they’ll definitely listen and don’t like to be bothered with the trivial.

AQUARIUS RISING: Their appearance is unique and they might want to point that out. Generally friendly and nice but you can feel the distance until you really get to know them better. Can have long legs and arms and egg-shaped skulls, or oval faces. Intelligent and free-spirited, they’ll try all the possible new and inventive approaches to any situation. Many Aquarius Risings I’ve met in my life had hands and feet that were always cold, although they rarely complained about being cold.

PISCES RISING: Because of their sensitivity, they can sometimes seem aggressive if they try to hide it. They are vulnerable and can’t hide it for a long time, if you ask them something personal and they start talking, their vulnerability will be revealed. They may seem shy and always have a light, dreamy smile on their lips. At times they can even seem completely non-present, because they tend to wander away in their thoughts.

the ascendant & imum coeli / part two

(part one)

part of how the ascendant manifests is due to the influences of the imum coeli (ic). the ascendant is our lens, our perspective on the world; the imum coeli is our family, our home, our roots. as we shape our lens, we seek out ways to compensate for the things we lacked from our imum coeli. this does not mean that everyone has a “bad” childhood, but rather that there is always something missing that encourages us to seek out our own path.

it is not until we truly grow through the imum coeli, rather than seek ways to compensate for it, that we can grow into our midheaven.

libra rising: goal is to understand how to integrate with others, to seek out grace and beauty, and to test the social equilibrium; come off as charming and diplomatic, seeking out interpersonal balance…

…with a sagittarius ic: to compensate for a childhood where the home life felt distant in some way, and left them to fend for themselves; to find themselves in others when the home left them feeling groundless.

…with a capricorn ic: to compensate for a childhood that was overly rigid and required great self-reliance; to find peace in socializing with and relying on others, and freeing themselves with creativity and pursuit of beauty.

…with an aquarius ic: to compensate for a childhood that was bizarre and unique, or otherwise created distance from others; to seek socialization by being welcoming, fair-minded, understanding, and reflective of others.

scorpio rising: goal is to test their intimacy with others, to understand their emotional intensity, and seek out deep connections; come off as intimidating and intuitive, seeking out emotional security in others…

…with a capricorn ic: to compensate for a childhood where they were left to become deeply self-reliant and overly responsible; to be able to feel their emotions and express them to a trusted person for vindication.

…with an aquarius ic: to compensate for a childhood that was odd and distant, where the push for independence became lonely; to make deep connections with others to create trustworthy bonds of emotional support and safety.

…with a pisces ic: to compensate for a childhood that involved illusions, manipulation, or confusion; to seek clarity in their surroundings in order to find security in themselves and others, and seek clarity in their emotional depths.

sagittarius rising: goal is to test the boundaries of their worldview, to seek out new experiences, and understand their own passion and determination; come off as friendly and intelligent, seeking out freedom and independence…

…with an aquarius ic: to compensate for a childhood that shunted their emotional expression in some way; to flex their socialization skills by not shying away from their larger-than-life viewpoints, and letting themselves be wholly expressive.

…with a pisces ic: to compensate for a childhood that was confusing or manipulative, and necessitated escape in some form; to seek out ways to find and understand their place in the world through their own experiences.

…with an aries ic: to compensate for a childhood that asked them to constantly fight for themselves; to escape mentally from conflict and an emotionally charged home, and find control in their own independence and self-made freedom.

capricorn rising: goal is to seek out ambitious tasks, to test the boundaries of their capabilities, and understand how they define success and achievement; come off as stern and responsible, seeking out ways to prove themselves…

…with a pisces ic: to compensate for a childhood where reality was difficult to understand or receive; to ground themselves in their own reality and personal ambitions to avoid feeling lost or incapable.

…with an aries ic: to compensate for a childhood that frequently presented problems for them to defend against; to prove that they can succeed without emotional hostility, and use practicality and caution as their best defense.

…with a taurus ic: to compensate for a childhood where the home life was overly controlling of the self and resources; to find independence through their own means and take control of their own life by being self-reliant. 

aquarius rising: goal is to understand their personal truth, to test conventionality, and seek out freedom with like-minded people; come off as eccentric and distant, seeking out ways to open others’ viewpoints…

…with an aries ic: to compensate for a childhood where they were often left to fight every arising problem alone; to distance themselves emotionally from these issues and seek out communities, without giving up their individuality.

…with a taurus ic: to compensate for a childhood where they were subject to too much rigidity and control in the home; to break free from what was expected of them and challenge control on a broader level as a means to rebel.

…with a gemini ic: to compensate for a childhood that may have restricted their movement or thoughts in some way; to rediscover their power through their intelligence and unconventional thinking, and get attention through their eccentricities.

pisces rising: goal is to seek out their own and others’ vulnerabilities, to test their means of compassion, and understand how to utilize their intuition; come off as dreamy and kind, seeking out ways to be of service to others…

…with a taurus ic: to compensate for a childhood that necessitated focusing on the self and their own security; to expand their reach to others in order to share their emotions and express their compassion.

…with a gemini ic: to compensate for a childhood that was intellectually and academically driven; to tap into their emotions as a means to break out of the home’s expectations, and understand themselves and reach others through their creativity.

…with a cancer ic: to compensate for a childhood where it was difficult to expand beyond the roots of home; to take their emotional footprint and expand it to their social world, to learn about and show compassion to others outside of the home.

astrology notes: moon’s origins edition (pt. 1)

moon in aries

not an easy position for the moon. one of the most likely moon placement to have counter-dependent tendencies, denying own needs for closeness and intimacy while attempting to be emotionally self-sufficient. when deep feelings and needs emerge (and you know they will), they unconsciously fend them off with anger, impulsive tendencies and, sometimes, sexual expressions.

often an aries-dominant parent was quick to respond to the aries moon wants and desires, allowing them freedom to pursue their interests. such parent encouraged the kid’s independent nature, possibly because they were themselves independent or self-absorbed and didn’t want to assume responsibility for the aries moon’s welfare. they might have often said “be tough” or “get over it” to the child, forcing the aries moon to defend against closeness and the expression of more vulnerable feelings. the parent may have encouraged individuality while simultaneously failing to affirm and support who their child really was. sometimes, however, an aries moon shows a submissive parent who catered to their whims and impulses, but never met their actual needs, or helped them develop a frustration tolerance one needs to mature and adapt properly.

so, one of their tasks in this lifetime is to learn to differentiate impulses from deeper needs, and to know what they really want beyond momentary satisfactions. this involves allowing themselves to come to terms with their own dependence as human beings without losing basic independence. they also shouldn’t continually look for excitement and stimulation to experience vitality and aliveness. you are alive right now. 

moon in taurus

taurus moon needs a solid base of self-esteem and internal security to gain confidence in themselves and their capacity to earn what they need and experience emotional and physical warmth, to know the pleasures and pains of living within their bodies and to maintain contact with earth (mother-nature’s-son.mp3). when their essential taurean needs aren’t met, they’re likely to overcompensate by compulsively clinging to other people, food, money and other external resources of satisfaction. they may become indolent, greedy, over materialistic and bound by their insistence upon security to a routine, risk-free and ultimately boring existence.

a taurus-dominant parent figure likely influenced their security patterns. positively, they may have been earthy and well-grounded; able to provide the warmth, stability, and comfort a child needs; and to help the taurus moon gain confidence functioning in the physical world. negatively, the parent might have attempted to chain the child to a predominantly physical level of existence. taurus moon might’ve been overindulged rather than deprived; provided with too much food, money or other comforts without ever having to ask, so they naturally expect to be provided for; or they may have been dominated by a possessive parent and learned to resist intrusion by playing dumb or turning to possessive and clinging behavior themselves.

taurus moon might repeatedly give themselves messages about their lack of value or competence; about holding on rather than letting go; about the necessity to earn more money and maintaining their job security; or about the joy that comes with quick online purchases and other physical pleasures that soothe them. they may coddle themselves into too easy a lifestyle or defend against their own needs by being rigidly self-sufficient. to successfully reparent their taurean inner child, they need to reassess such internal messages and develop new ones which: a) build their self-confidence and internal security; b) encourage them to experience and satisfy the deepest bodily needs rather than become stuck in patterns of laziness and immediate physical or material gratification; c) allow them to relax and surrender, so they might let go of possessiveness or compulsive self-sufficiency and experience their wonderful capacity to give and receive warmth and devotion

moon in gemini

gemini moons need to communicate verbally, to interact with different people, to satisfy their curiosity, to develop basic skills, and to be engaged by a stimulating environment. their deepest needs relate to experiencing and expressing their feelings in a relationship, and to have a network of people and activities which truly nourish them rather than just pique their interest. they also enjoy feeding their hunger for knowledge and developing their skills as thinkers and communicators. when these needs aren’t met, they may lose themselves in compulsive gemini behaviors: talking incessantly and superficially without making actual contact; scattering their energy widely, going from lover to lover and distraction to distraction, with no fulfillment.

negatively, a gemini moon suggests the individual experienced one or both parents as inconstant or changeable, as too rational and prone to intellectualize rather than directly express feeling. such parent was also high-strung, nervous, and with a scattered energy. positively, this parent encouraged and supported the child’s verbal and intellectual abilities and provided them with challenge and stimulation.

if their parent didn’t provide the nurturance a child needs, the gemini moon internalized messages which incline them to deny or explain away their feelings, and to remain open to too many outside influences at the expense of making commitments or developing an area of expertise. feeling insecure in their own bodies and emotions, they may have exercised their mental abilities to such a degree that they became adept at rationalization and prone to use words or superficial connections to defend against their needs for actual contact, intimacy and communication. a gemini moon’s task is to reconnect with their feelings and bodies in a way that they can think, communicate, and structure their lives to make mental activities and relationships truly nourishing.

moon in cancer

it’s particularly important for cancer moons to come to terms with their needs since cancer = moon. your basic well-being depends on it. if you were either deprived or over-indulged as a child, you may have become excessively attached to food, home or nurturing figures. when you’re in touch with your needs and feelings, you’re inclined to: a) eat or seek oral gratification (sex, smoking, chewing); b) expect others to cater to you; c) cry nonstop, either in self-pity or to make others pay attention to you; d) cling to people or possessions and withdraw from the real world. an alternative pattern is to see vicarious satisfaction through nurturing others. you may become The Child or The Mom Friend, but true satisfaction won’t come by infantilizing others instead of respecting their integrity and independence. if there are powerful squares or oppositions to the moon, you may have powerful defenses against both the need to nurture or be nurtured, which results in psychological and physical problems (stomach, uterus or breasts) that force you to take care of yourself fully.

a cancer moon suggests one or both parental figures were protective, maternal and empathic. however, if the moon is afflicted, the parent may have unconsciously been influenced by their own unmet needs and encouraged the child to remain helpless and dependent upon them for gratification. such parents were martyrs, doing for us what we needed to do for ourselves, or paying excessive attention to their own emotions to gain from us the sympathy and consideration which we ourselves may have needed to experience. 

as a result, cancer moons give themselves messages which make them feel sorry for themselves, to indulge in their own pain, to expect too much from others, or become overly attached to food, home, and loved ones as a form of security.  one of the most important tasks will be that of fully mourning the symbiosis your inner child never had or inevitably had to relinquish as part of maturation. you may have to experience the depth of your needs to nurture and be nurtured, and, as adults, to establish patterns of behavior and interaction which fulfill those needs without surrendering to them. the lunar lessons may also include: a) contacting and communicating your real needs and feelings; b) building an inner foundation of security; c) overcoming behaviors based on helplessness or which use helplessness and neediness as weapons; d) learning to support the adult and the child in other people, and to love without possessing; e) devoting yourselves to self-nourishment rather than giving undue attention to giving and receiving in relationships.

moon in leo

leo moons particularly need to feel loved and appreciated, to be prioritized, to play around, and to express themselves spontaneously and creatively. they need warmth and devotion and can give abundantly from their hearts as long as they’re also being fed with love. otherwise, their lunar nature may become distorted and compulsive in its insistence upon attention and / or power. negatively, they may overdramatize to impact others, or may become dominating and bossy in their attempts to maintain command over themselves and others.

a leo moon suggests that they had loving parental figures who prized them highly, became enthusiastically involved in their activities and triumphs, and could encourage and share their playful spirit. however, an afflicted moon may show parents who either overindulged or deprived them. at one extreme are the mothers who spoiled them with too much attention and too many treats, preparing them to live adult lives as royalty. at the other extreme are the narcissistic parents, the abusive parents who worried only that leo moons became obedient subjects, or who overly identified with them, urging the kids to live their dreams and adamantly discouraging individuality.

as a result of childhood upbringing, they may have internalized messages which support attention-seeking, childish, demanding and / or dominating behavior patterns. leo moons may act as if they deserve to be the centre of everyone’s universe and not just their own. because of unmet needs, they become compulsive in the desire to prove their value and gain acclaim.

this moon has much to give, provided it can bask in the sunlight of warmth and affection. leos may need to feed themselves emotionally rather than always expect others to provide for them. they need to give themselves their full attention and appreciation and be their own audience.  if they are to experience emotional satisfaction, they need to keep their hearts open to pain and joy, and to become capable of loving others not only because they love them but also because they truly love themselves. 

moon in virgo

if you have a virgo moon, you may be adept at using your minds to defend against unwanted feelings. you need organization and predictability in at least some facets of your lives; you need to experience yourselves as useful, as providers of valued services in your work and personal activities; you need to structure your experiences and care for your physical wellbeing. you have high standards for yourselves and others, and a need to maintain personal integrity at all costs. 

if you lose touch with your deeper emotional nature, your constructive virgoan traits may become destructively compulsive. you may insist on order and efficiency which destroys the spontaneity and vitality in and around you; you become workaholics, unable to relax and at the mercy of your compulsion to keep busy at all costs. you fuss, worry, nag and intellectualize incessantly (and unnecessarily). you subordinate yourselves to others, compelling them to use your services. you rip yourselves apart with self-criticism, and likewise cannot allow imperfection in others. 

having a virgo Moon suggests that you experienced a significant virgoan energy in one or both of your parent figures. a positive virgoan parent may have encouraged your mental development, taught you constructive habits, and enabled you to experience a safe and orderly early environment without crushing the child in you. such a parent may have taught you how to use reason and common sense to master rather than repress your feelings and was probably helpful through providing many of the little but significant services of routine.

negatively, a virgoan parent may have exposed you to super-efficiency, criticism, analysis, perfectionism and / or pettiness which frustrated and inhibited your emotional growth and fragile self-esteem. the ’should system’ of your childhood may have become an internal structure which continues to enslave you as adults. your sense of not being good enough impairs your ability to function personally and professionally. alternatively, a subservient slavish parent may have catered to you too frequently; a hypochondriacal parent may have focused so obsessively upon ill-health that yourselves had to become sickly or hypochondriacal to receive attention and care (my friend’s personal experience). 

you need to revise the messages you give yourselves, which continue to keep detrimental virgoan patterns in operation. your task is to learn to experience and value all your feelings and needs while also using your analytical capabilities to create the order and discipline you crave so badly. you need to develop new standards for yourselves and others, standards which accept your imperfect human behaviors while also valuing your occasional moments of superhuman goodness or accomplishment. choosing to love yourselves, choosing to discover the wondrous perfection of your imperfection, may nourish your souls so profoundly that you actually become more giving and capable human beings.
