omg i saw another persons chart and found out that houses can start at degrees of more than 10. Does houses and the degree they start have any correlation? as in like for e,g if its within 10 degrees does that mean it still needs much development?

Hey im wondering what signs or aspects would make one more susceptible to feeling certain emotions when listening to music?

In general, I believe anyone/any sign can feel triggered [positively or negatively] by music. It is, after all, the ‘great communicator’. However, in regard to “emotion” hitting the hardest, you’re going to want to look for...

1. Water Dominant Charts

Water doms are susceptible to feeling many emotions in general. When music which is ruled by Neptune gets thrown in the mix people with...

Pisces Suns

Pisces moons

Pisces Mercury

Pisces Venus

Pisces Mars

Pisces Jupiter

Neptune in the 1st

Neptune in the 2nd

Neptune in the 4th

Neptune in the 3rd

Neptune in the 8th

Neptune in the 12

Scorpio Suns

Scorpio moons

Scorpio Mercurys

Scorpio Mars’

Scorpio Jupiters

Scorpio Risings

Pluto in the 1st

Pluto in the 2nd

Pluto in the 3rd

Plut in the 4th

Pluto in the 8th

Pluto  in the 9th

Pluto in the 12th

Cancerian Suns

Cancer Moon

Cancer Mercury’s

Cancer Venus’

Cancer Mars’

Cancer Jupiter’s

Cancer Rising

Moon in the 2nd [Tauean house rules the ‘throat’]

Moon in the 3rd [rules communication]

Moon in the 4th [water house]

Moon in the 8th

Moon in the 9th

Moon in the 12th

[look for flowing and hard aspects between all of these placements]

2. Taurean/Venus Placements

Since Taurus rules creativity and artistry, people with strong placements here will often have a very solid and earthly attachment to music. Taurus also rules the second house that rules the “voice/throat”.  This includes Conjunctions, trines, sextiles.

Taurus Sun

Taurus Moon

Taurus Mercury

Taurus Venus

Taurus Jupiter

Taurus Rising

Taurus 2nd house

Taurus 3rd House

Taurus 12th House

Venus in the 1st

Venus in the 2nd

Venus in the 4th

Venus in the 3rd

Venus in the 8th

Venus in the 12th

3. Mercury Placements

Mercury Rules communication and people with dominant Mercury, which rules by the mind happen to be very gifted with music. Remember, I’ve mentioned before that music is a science. Why? Because it can be measured. Emotion is felt in the belly but the chemicals that trigger what we feel start in the brain first. The brain is ruled by Mercury most immediately since Mercury rules the “lower mind”. Look for:

Mercury in the 1st

Mercury in the 2nd

Mercury in the 3rd

Mercury in the 4th

Mercury in the 7th

Mercury in the 8th

Mercury in the 9th

Mercury in the 12th

Virgo placements strongly in any of these houses as well as Gemini Placements.

4. Jupiter

Jupiter rules the higher mind and philosophy. Music takes almost all of us there. Jupiter is a very psychic planet and music/sound travels on wavelengths that blend with higher forms of thought and thinking. This is exactly why meditation is usually paired with music and why they’re usually based at about 4-7 Hz theta waves. Look for natives with:

Jupiter in the 1st

Jupiter in the 2nd

Jupiter in the 3rd

Jupiter in the 4th

Jupiter in the 8th

Jupiter in the 9th

Jupiter in the 12th

Sag placements in any of these houses conjuncting, trining, or sextiling [hard placements like squares and opps are also to be considered.] Jupiter as the most elevated may also be susceptible as well.

What’s the difference between seperating and applying aspects?

Separating VS Applying Aspects in Astrology

Applying and Separating aspects in astrology, in essence speak about the speed in which a planetary body is moving towards another. 

Think of it Like This:

Imagine You are Pluto at 25 degrees Capricorn and a fast moving ambulance is Mars is driving towards you. You can hear it approaching, you can see it, it’s getting louder and louder as it reaches 21°, 22°, 23°, or 24° Capricorn. Mars, The ambulance, is “applying or approaching” a conjunction [meet up] with Pluto [you]. At one point it will be right in front of you. You, Pluto and Mars will be exact [at 25 degrees] and then, Mars will start to drive past and the sirens begin to fade. You can’t hear it anymore. Mars has transited away from 25° Capricorn. Thus Mars is Separating.

Another Example is the Moon Phases

We go from waxing, to full, to waning. Applying and separating behave similarly. The quicker of any two celestial bodies [planets] in an aspect is usually the one stirring the pot.  In an applying aspect, the faster planet moves toward the slower moving planet and in the separating aspect the faster planet moves away from [separates from] the slower moving planet. 

Why is this Important?

Because there’s an order that reflects every planet’s astrological influence on the planet Earth. The Planets from slowest to fastest are basically demonstrating a “teacher to student” role. This is what causes us to say, for example: “Venus – Uranus” and not “Uranus – Venus” aspect. The faster planet defines the dynamics of the aspect. The faster moving planet is always learning lessons from and being shaped by the slower moving planet. Another example, consider the case of Moon opposing Neptune, since the moon is closer to the Sun and is therefore faster in its orbit than Neptune [because it's an outer planet, in the boondocks, while the Moon moves every 2 to 3 days], Moon is the one learning the lessons from and being shaped by Neptune.  In order [From slowest to fastest] they are:

Pluto➝ Neptune ➝ Uranus➝ Saturn ➝ Jupiter ➝ Mars ➝ Sun ➝ Venus ➝ Mercury ➝ Moon ➝ Earth

Now, An applying aspect

Is the degree two planets are coming closer together. In layman’s terms? When they become exact. They’ll intensify and push us in directions that will assist in learning whatever the energies suggest. Because these begin after birth, and onward, applying aspects indicate future endeavors.

As the two planets come closer together, a native feels it. The energy is strong. One receives that gut instinct that something intense is about to take place. Depending on the planets involved, a native might have a sense of excitement, impending doom, hike in libido, spiritual awakenings, or excess in the material [financial, etc]. Applying aspects are coming together and because of this, known to be quite active, volatile and erratic in expression. 'Applying' aspects are considered to be much stronger than 'separating' aspects. They tend to get a rise out of someone. This person will be easier to set off or even get a reaction from. They can’t help it. Said emotional surges will be spike in creativity, resourcefulness, even rise in temper. 

In a Separating Aspect

This means the orb of the aspect [Conjunction, square, Sextile, etc.] between two planets increases as time progresses. Just after the new moon/ after birth. In other words, the degrees are getting farther apart and not coming closer together. “Relief” is in sight. A 'separating' aspect is said to be weaker than an applying aspect- why?- because the excitable or intense period is finally letting up. It’s a common belief in the astrological community that separating aspects deal with past events, or rather, finished business. These aspects showcase the energy of things that have already been dealt with and will dissipate over time. As a result, separating aspects are said to be less intense, more calm and stable. Adversely, they can be seen as phlegmatic or even sluggish.
