Understanding aspects in Astrology

Trines: These indicate that it’s is easy for the planets to connect with one another. Their ability to merge is seamless. They still have a level of individuality, but it’s easy for them to work together because they share the same characteristics/duties.

Essentially, they’re like siblings that look alike but still are their own person.This is a passive aspect and happens so effortless that it can go unnoticed.

Squares: This aspect indicates that these planets have an individualistic function that’s vastly different from the other, and together, those functions are needed to inact change.Therefore, these planets have to figure out a way to create change. This is why squares will often make us feel discomfort or activate an event that gives us no choice but to act.Square can be major life changing events.

Sextiles: This aspect indicates that planets share a common function, therefore allowing them to work together with more ease. We have the opportunity to inact change more smoothly; noticing an impact. For example, Mars applying a sextile to Jupiter could look like an indicator for the brain being able to process big chunks information or one having tendency to take in alot of information that the mind can quickly process and filter.

Oppositions: This aspect indicates that planets are extreme opposites of each other and that they’re so far apart.Planets that oppose one another are direct mirrors of one another, and one can utilize the qualities of the other to yield results. While these planets still have their own functions, they extract what is needed from the other to support their own function.Also, these planets truly stand on their own, and that is fine. Their functions are needed in specific times, and it’s important to know when to lean into one or the other.

Conjunctions: This aspect indicates planets that are coming into union or out of union depending on the motion of the planet. When joining together they’re colliding worlds; it’s like when you enter into a relationship with someone, while yall will always have your own qualities, the union brings together something new, adds a specific level of support that wasnt there before, etc. When these planets are separating, they’re becoming more individualistic, seeking to yield results on their own without the support of the other planet. In the natal chart, the separating planet in a conjunction can be like a child leaving home ready to establish a life for themselves.

Something to always consider when it comes to aspects :

Aspects in the birth chart can look multiple ways, depending on the maleficence or beneficence of the planets.

Astro Observations IV

🟤Outer planets [Uranus, Neptune, Pluto] conjunct or making tense aspects with Moon make the native feel disconnected from some members of their family. They may feel like strangers at times and may find it difficult to have a long conversation with them, they may even prefer to distance themselves from them. They often find family ties in other people, and may feel like they don't have a thing called home. They may have ideals, behaviors or desires to be different from some members of their family. Due to this feeling, these people can have a hard time becoming very attached to someone or a group of people, so they have a tendency to prefer solitude or spend much of their time on their own.

🟤Mars making hard aspects with Saturn makes the native very hard on themselves. They have a hard time accepting compliments, and wish they could do more, they hardly value their efforts. Ironically they value and point out those of other people. It is difficult for them to see themselves with eyes of love, but they do not realize the greatness and talent they possess. They are strong people, who struggle daily with the negativity of their mind, with the demands of that voice that lives inside them.

🟤Uranus-Moon/Venus tense aspects are common in people who received inconstant affection from people who loved them. This oscillated between periods of great appreciation and others in which it seemed that they did not exist. From a young age, they were able to face fickle affections not only from family, but from friends. All this makes these natives seek stability in a partner beyond other superficial factors. They yearn to find a person who gives them constancy and continuous attention.

🟤 Earth sign in the 9th house or Saturn in the 9th house is very common in people who tend to be pessimistic. They are people who feel that life has not been the sweetest for them, so they do not know what to expect from it. But on many occasions those expectations are negative. These people prefer to believe in hard work and do not believe that things magically happen to them if they want it badly. They hate when people are too positive when it reaches an unrealistic point. They like to have a realistic mindset.

🟤Saturn in Leo may have felt deprived of approval, recognition and admiration when they were very young. Based on this, natives with this placement tend to care a lot about what others say or feel about them when they are young or immature, but once they grow up, they have the ability to develop a very strong sense of identity that is incapable of being broken by other people's comments. It can be a difficult path for them to separate themselves from what others think of them, but eventually they get it. They are people oriented to success and do their jobs in a formidable way, so in the work area this placement can augur much appreciation for them and they can become well-known.

🟤People with Saturn making hard aspects [conjunct, opposition, square, quincunx, semi-square & sesquiquadrate] with Moon may have felt that they were not appreciated in their childhood. They could hardly have heard any compliment or reminder from someone telling them that they were doing a great job. That is why they do not know how to react to compliments and have difficulty accepting them.

🟤Saturn in Cancer may have felt the lack of support, love and compassion from their family. They are melancholic people with a tendency to look at the past and wonder what would have happened if everything had been different. They may have expressed vulnerability as youngsters and faced criticism or disgust from others seeing them this way, so they learned to deal with their emotional problems on their own. They struggle with the idea of ​​being intimate with someone or being completely transparent. Over time, they can become very successful if they learn to accept their needs and stop holding them back. This placement can be a great indicator to be able to leave a legacy or a mark that transcends with time.

🟤Fire Venus have a thing for independent people who seem to be fine without them. Very clingy, cloying and dependent people annoy them. They prefer a person who gives them a lot of love but who gives them their space and freedom. For them it is essential to find in their partner a person with whom they can bring out the extensive variations of their personality. I have noticed that they tend to prefer calm and relaxed people who are a stability for their chaoticism, but of course, that the person is able to follow the joke and has a similar sense of humor.

🟤Semisextile couples in Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars are more common than it seems. Many people might think that they are incompatible, somewhat brusque with each other and that they become energized when they are with each other, however, in private it is quite the opposite and these people can be a great support for each other. Once they overcome their differences, it is very likely that they will enjoy a very stable and beautiful relationship. I have noticed it more in Aries-Taurus (Sun), Virgo-Libra (Sun and Venus), Sagittarius-Capricorn (Sun and Venus) & Aquarius-Pisces (Sun & Moon).

🟤Saturn in Pisces may feel that they have to carry the emotions, problems or desires of others, they may feel that the world lacks compassion, especially with them or those most in need. They are people that others could take advantage of because of their enormous heart and generous disposition. They have to learn to discern between what their needs and wants are and the wants and needs of other people. Many times they wonder what will be the best good for all, but they rarely ask themselves what would be the best for them.

🟤Hard aspects between Neptune/Pluto - Sun/Moon are a great incentive for trust issues. Neptune is key in these issues, due to its kind nature, people could have taken great advantage of the native, which caused a gradual development of distrust, that feeling of never knowing clearly the type of person with whom you are dealing. While Pluto’s nature gives us a somewhat fatalistic perception, thinking that anyone can betray them if they are very vulnerable. Hence the native's need to appear powerful, unbreakable and somewhat intimidating.

🟤Aries Saturn people feel anger or annoyance when a person is unable to do their job well, especially if there is only one person. When people are irrational, when they are unable to come up with quick deductions on their own, and when they are lazy. It is one of the most demanding placements on Saturn.

🟤Water houses show us parts of our personality that we repress for some reason. The 4th house tells us the traits we hide from the world but only show with those we trust. The 8th house can be traits of our personality that we refuse to accept about ourselves or for fear of the repercussions it may have on other people. 12th house are the traits we try to repress out of fear or shame but end up showing more of on a subconscious level to other people.

🟤Neptune shows us the way we evade reality. It is not surprising that many people (many of us, in fact) avoid reality by using the internet or playing video games, since Neptune, being a generational planet, is in the sign of Aquarius, related to technology. People with Neptune in the 1st house, for example, evade their reality by daydreaming about their ideal life and ideal self. 5th house Neptune with their hobbies, going on dates constantly. 12th house Neptune sleeping, and so on.

🟤Saturn in Gemini may have been treated as naive, making them think that their way of seeing things and thinking was insignificant or that their opinions did not count. These natives may have problems interacting with other people because of this belief. However, this placement of Saturn is quite good, since it favors a good intellect, an incredible ability to retain information and learn, this more than anything because Saturn is in its triplicity. If they overcome their fears of interacting with other people, they can stand out as amazing communicators, writers, and speakers.

complicated relationships with your parents are like. you cut up fruit and bring it to my room without me asking. i can't remember the last time you told me that you were proud of me. you told me i wasn't good enough for you but i'm not even good enough for myself. your hugs feel like coming home. i can't tell you anything that happens in my life. i doubt myself every day because of something you said to me when i was eight. would you like to hear about my day? please don't ask me about my day. i miss you even though you're in the next room. i wish we didn't live together. i've never loved or resented anyone as much as i've loved and resented you. are you okay? are we okay? are we ever going to be okay?

Working with Planetary Days

I hope it is okay that I share this excerpt from my Newsletter this month. It feels right/good to share this on Jupiter’s day. Often times, I feel stuck in one place. I don’t know how to move on from tasks or I struggle with even starting my day. I wanted to take the time to create an outline of options/ideas/tasks I can do based on the ruling planet for each day of the week. I think that once upon a time, College made me decide that Sundays were the days to get so much done, organize, plan, “catch up” etc- Friday and Saturday’s were for indulging and forgetting about responsibilities, monday’s were pure panic. Had I attuned to the energy of the days (and diving in deeper, planetary hours, which we will talk about next time) I may have navigated the days and my energy a lot better. Now I am a social worker, mental health practitioner and (baby) astrologer, trying to find the balance between self and others; solitude and socialization; responsibility and creativity; structure and response; Spirituality and Practicality; physical energy and mental energy and emotional energy; work and being still. The purpose of this ‘outline’ is to provide guidance, inspiration and direction on how to intentionally use our time, more so our Day to our energetic/celestial benefit.  Stick around as I go over the days of the week. Monday-Lunes (Moon)- Wake up late (if you can) Express gratitude (aloud or in a journal/safe space) DEEP stretch (to your ability, if you experience a disability/limitation, I encourage DEEP breathing, belly breathing) Use 'Herbs’ (Whatever this means to you) and slow, smooth music (Alternative, R&B, Country, Blues, Jazz, Instrumental, Waves, Sound Bowl if you have one) Drink your coffee/tea/tonic/elixir/etc in one spot. Don’t move until you are finished with your cup. Take a drive for no reason or take the scenic route to your destination/appointment/work/home/etc. Either have comfort food or light eating (Whichever your body calls for that day) IF you have a healthy relationship with Home: Call Home or friend or anyone you can be safe with. Water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water, water Snuggle up with a comfort item. Practice affirmations. Tell someone you love them (or something of the sort) Tuesday-Martes (Mars)- If you are able, take a walk; pilates; yoga; Tai Chi; dance. If you experience limitations or live with a disability, move to your capacity (bobbing your head to music, stretching upper body, deep breathes, chair exercises, rotating feet/ankles, whatever you are comfortable with. I am able bodied so may be ignorant to the options here-PLEASE educate me if you can think of anything further that those limited can engage in Mars like energy). Earthing Face Masks/Steaming/Scrub Hair Masks/Deep cleaning/Salt scrub Tend to yard work (if applicable and if able) Laundry (ALL OF IT, that means cleaning, drying and folding too LOL) Any tasks you have been putting off, focus on these first. Create a to do lists, categorized by home; office/work; spirit; business, etc. Clean your Spiritual tools Clean the space you spend the most time in Work or be outside if you can. Just get out of your usual environment if possible. Brainstorming. Go to bed early if you can. Wednesday-Miercoles (Mercury) Read 10-30 minutes (Of course more if you have the time and/or attention span😉) Journal 10-30 minutes, let it flow if you can. Create or engage in Minor to do lists Create a grocery list Fill out calendar for appointments or obligations- review your planner/calendar/schedule in general Work on your budget Respond to/Send emails-Respond to/make phone calls Work on/Send out Newsletter(s) Take notes on your readings Delete emails, clear voicemail box, go through paper mail Schedule meetings on this day talk to Spirit Ask questions-exchange information Watch a documentary or informative series Grab dinner or a drink with friends Paying attention to car maintenance may work well on this day as well (schedule an oil change/car wash/fill tank/etc) Learn something new Interact with/engage with your environment (if possible, for ex: walk around your neighborhood, smile at a neighbor; if you have the space work in your kitchen/living room instead of your office; if you’re working in an office, see if there is a conference room available instead of your “cube”) Get a massage/self massage (if possible/applicable) Turn your phone off, or notifications off before bed. Thursday-Jueves (Jupiter) Sleep in if you can Express Gratitude (out loud or in a journal or safe space) Pray Charge and/or cleanse crystals Take a salt bath/shower Soak your feet (if you can, get an Ionized foot bath) Take one risk today, walk by faith not by sight today Get out of your comfort zone (this will look different for everyone) Buy something you’ve been saving for or start saving for something Try something new Water your damn plants and/or talk/sing to them Play games (board games, phone games, computer games, video games) Watch a comedy Spell work and rituals Try a new tea or elixir Consult with a friend, guide, therapist, energy worker, etc Friday-Viernes (Venus) Make up, moisturize, hair spray/gel, rings, necklaces, perfume, heels, slacks, corsets, glasses, nail polish- WHATEVER you have to put on your bodythat'ss an extra step than usual-Do it! Indulge in your first (or last) meal today Walk (or drive) somewhere scenic/beautiful Watch the sunrise or sunset. Or catch the moonlight Practice your love language with yourself or with others “Love” yourself (hint hint, wink wink) Make your “space” pretty (this can be your bedroom, living room, kitchen, garden, car, this can be social media platforms, journals) BUMP or BLAST some music Make a playlist Aromatherapy, cleanse or charge your Tools, talk to friends/family, set boundaries and don’t do anything you don’t want to today (if possible 😉) paint, draw, read, shop, write Take a picture (of you or something/someone beautiful) Saturday-Sabado (Saturn) Start a to do list for today and especially for the week ahead Take care of house (whatever this means to you) Meditate Study Fast (If able/applicable) Journal (esp related to your long term goals, worldly affairs/responsibilities) Clean your space and get rid of what is no longer needed (clean out fridge, throw out papers, take out garbage, pull weeds, etc) Clean your car (if able/applicable) Ask Spirit and Ancestors “What work needs to be done?” Use sound bowl (if you have one), binaural beats, instrumental music Water water water water water water water! Sunday-Domingo (Sun) Practice your skills/Review your skills Perform service (whatever 'service’ means to you) Post on social media/Establish social media presence Socialize, actively engage with others and/or your surroundings (if able/applicable) Journal (check your Ego, gas yourself up or practice humility) Review/Activate spells and rituals Pray Express gratitude Choose something specifically for you today Aura cleansing (if able/applicable) I hope this is guiding and helpful to at least someone. I experience such guilt around how I spend my time during the day and this outline/list has helped me attune to the energy of the day and generally make the most out of it. This is a light hearted, intuitive post meant to guide and validate how we can use our energy. I try to be mindful that not everyone has the resources, space, freedom, privilege, ability or circumstances to engage in such activities, my only hope is that at least one thing on this list can be activated in your days.

Oftentimes, it hurts the more we resist the sadness. It makes me feel frustrated and guilty when I fight my sadness, so I’ve learned to just ride it out instead until I can feel calmer and ready for happiness again. 🌊
