Natal aspects and synastry aspects

Easy Aspects: (sextile, trine, conjunct) lack of focus, will, desire for activating and enhancing these qualities. A natural competence or ease can create a sense of comfort that leaves these energies in a low mode of operation

Hard Aspects: (square, opposition, conjunct) an explosive collision of conflicting energy at equal pace generates internal tension, stress, and oscillating responses that demand attention and the adequate focus, exertion, resilience, and inner conflict resolution that activates the higher possibilities and potentials that the planetary contact has to offer

Easy Synastry Conditions: (sextile, trine, conjunct) too many similarities and the sense of having done this before can turn down the heat, the stimulation, and the magnetism of the unknown. there can be a lack of will or desire to work at the relationship or repair the cracks when they begin

Hard Synastry Conditions: (square, opposition, conjunct) a cosmic explosion can provoke the more visceral and reactive sides of each partner. there can be an equal magnetism and tension that make the experience engrossing, enthralling, inflaming, and enraging, something that you don’t want to imagine your life without anymore

Your personality is learned behavior. All of the tendencies, predilections, skills, preferences, likes, dislikes, habits, gifts, talents, some good, some bad. It is all the product of your ‘conditioning’. Which means it is learned behavior that has accumulated over many lifetimes and is currently who we believe ourselves to be, but it is not our spirit. It has been conditioned by the people, groups, societies and environments that you have found yourself in, from one lifetime to another. Your work in this lifetime is to release the identification with these behaviors. This doesn’t mean losing your personality. It means recognizing who you really are: your Soul. Then working to become Soul-Centered so you may live the highest expression of that.

Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces

Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, exalts in Capricorn Mars is reckless, free, excited, and fighting for a personal cause in Aries. They battle against life and the forces that stand in the way of pure, undiluted self-expression and triumph. Mars is not alone with Scorpio, Mars is there with Pluto and those daggers can feel like they are being thrown into sheer darkness. The fight is for larger-than personal causes, the battle is for the truth that is revealed to them from behind the veil, fighting death. These conflicts are taken partly under water where they cannot breathe, and partly on land where the smoke is too dark to see through, daggers are thrown from the invisible Mars comes to fruition in Capricorn, it evolves from the child in Aries to the Capricorn parent in a powerful, profound, and influential manner. The only way forward is in an upward direction, climbing up the mountain in sheer determination The Ram and the Goat both have horns. So does the devil that Scorpio battles.

Venus rules Taurus and Libra, exalts in Pisces

Taurus is the creator and lover of beauty with Venus, standing in marvel at the natural design and mimicking these practices with the material and the mind. Taurus envisions, conceives, paints, and brings to life the sensory delight of the universe, Aphrodite plays with Taurus when they light a fragrant candle, soak in a sugary bath bomb, and dance to a song. Love is a tangible display Taurus decorates the room, Libra makes it warm, inviting, and personable. The beauty of Venus is integral to the Libra’s inner balance, but that means balancing beauty with the grotesque, softening its sharp edges, using its shadow to reflect beauty in the light of the Venus mirror. Love soothes the whole world. Venus is a mental dreamer in Libra, a mind that paints idyllic lenses over their eyes, they can oscillate between two worlds - the real world, and the imaginary Pisces doesn’t just imagine the dream, Pisces lives in it. Pisces is inspired by beauty and the beautiful act of creating it, infusing the spirit of Neptune being the higher octave of Venus. Love is an experience of bringing and experiencing God

Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo

Mercury is childlike, restless, wild, witty, informative, clever, and mischievous in Gemini, delighting in Gemini’s multiple interests, curiosities, and minds. Gemini learns out of self-satisfying indulgence and the instant gratification of sharing new information before it becomes tedious and swiftly forgotten, they can become lost and distracted in nervous energy The twins have grown up into a seamlessly multifaceted, steady and adaptable in Virgo, Virgo is Gemini wearing the focused and analysed glasses, capable of remembering and applying important and applicable facts. Virgo sublimates nervous energy into productive outlets. Virgo is a mutable mercurial sign like Gemini, so they are many people inside Virgo, but they are better at hiding them and utilising their qualities at the correct moments than Gemini is. Unlike airy Gemini, those Mercury wings are chained to the earth, it makes the picture much clearer

Jupiter

rules Sagittarius and Pisces, exalts in Cancer The Jupiter temple is reached by foot, flight, mind, intuition, and experience with Sagittarius. Jupiter is the publisher and the philosophies of Sagittarius are stored by the Jupiter’s pen in the collective cultural mind. There is a real opportunity to rule their world, because they know as it stands that their positivity, optimism, faith, and generosity is rewarded by fortune and their hostility, anger, self hatred makes the skies turn grey Jubilance and rapture is the peak Jupiter experience in Pisces generated by faith, unity, and belief. Pisces is the celebration of spirit, evangelical song, and courting the mystical, the saviour that Sagittarius writes about in their myths. Pisces is the temple Sagittarius searches for. The expansive quality of Jupiter is experienced through Cancer’s imagination, dream, and internal experience where the seven seas reside when they shut their eyes. The temple is the light inside.

Saturn rules Capricorn, Aquarius exalts in Libra Capricorn materialises spiritual law through form and structure. Capricorn is an earth sign so it’s also the construction of laws of land. This is Saturn reaching and expressing its ultimate and peak potential, so anything is possible with Capricorn. Aquarius materialises cosmic and celestial law through consciousness. Aquarius threatens the structures of Saturn. Aquarius is Capricorn who has climbed to the top and mastered the system, Aquarius has inherited this expertise, and so it can be detonated from the inside Libra materialises karmic law. Libra also negotiates and compromises the rigid laws of Capricorn by integrating and shaping the human perspective, ethic, and moral righteousness. Capricorn has implemented the law, but is this law fair and reflect a human value system? Capricorn is the judge, but Libra is the prosecutor, defender, the witness, and the conscience

Cusp Signs

Born in the cosmic transit lounge to celebrate a 30th birthday (30 degrees) and new life (a new sign at 0 degrees). These people farewell the sun’s departure from one mansion and await its arrival at the next destination

there isn’t a unique class of glyphs, archetypes, and myths we use to illustrate ‘cusp signs’. there is no zodiac sign, condition, or symbol conveying the converging of two signs. you can have a birthday during the ‘cusp’, period but you cannot be a ‘cusp sign’. people with birthdays from around the 16th-26th day of the month are born during the cusp phase. at some point during this juncture the sun will complete the cycle at 30 degrees and move into the next sign

the cusp and sun pass over dates are not fixed by sign, month, or year. the sun can cross into the next sign at any stage in the cusp phase, there is no pattern or exact date that the sun always passes on. for example, last year the sun went into the sign of aquarius on january 23 in 2016, and last year the sun entered aquarius on january 19. if you are born during the cusp phase it is really important to check the ephemeris and find the position of the sun for the specific year that you were born.

“But I’m a mix of both signs! I’m a blend!”

the sun is the centre and the inner planets like mercury, venus, and mars are always within close proximity to the sun. yes you are special because you are a blend of more than one sign. just as special as all of us. the sun cannot divide its light and position. the core of astrology is purely mathematical, so if it doesn’t make mathematical sense it does not make astrological sense. i will use my daughter as an example here. her birthday is june 23 and she was born at 0 degrees 17 minutes cancer. she was born with the crab illuminating. she likely waited that extra 17 minutes for the sun to leave gemini (yes they certainly know exactly what they are doing) the energy of gemini was literally still the illuminant less than 20 minutes ago. the sun was at the very beginning of cancer, and she was born with mercury and mars in the proceeding sign of gemini. you can see how it would be possible for someone with a similar birth to assume she is a ‘gemini-cancer cusp sign’ by virtue of a june 23 birthday and identifying with both the gemini and cancer qualities that reinforce the ‘blended’ cusp notion. you can see it would make sense for her to feel this mixture and relate with both signs. her solar light and essence is cancerian, and she thinks, moves, and jumps like a gemini. it’s not because the sun has split between two signs, it’s because the sun always has close company in the planets sprinkled around its auric field. most people have an intense double sign emphasis because we are way to complex to adopt a personality based on a theoretical calendar line. you have one sun sign, just as you have one heart, one self, and one soul. the sun is the king, the performer, the leader, and the ego. its much too regal and entitled to share it’s light across more than one sign

the birth chart is an archetypal blueprint of potential qualities that we are born with. a birth certificate stamped and sent off and thats that, the photo can’t be retaken. this is before we are exposed to human experiences, conditioning, or activated will. the concept of nature and nurture is very much relevant to astrology. and its the free will developed from this that activates or doesnt positive or negative qualities in the chart

The astrologer can never predict how a person will react to the conditions of the birth chart it’s possible to give a variety of possibilities and potential, and professionals will use their intuition when writing charts to sense certain significance and resonance with placements but they cannot dictate how a person chooses to activate these. A person could have a chart brimming with the promise of success and affluence with a proud 10th house, but if the individual refuses to do the work nothing comes of it. You don’t wake up and get handed the job by astrology over night, but astrology helps you to activate the qualities, generate self-confidence, and map out a pathway that can help you reach these goals. Like I’ve written before, the word personality comes from Latin personae, which means “mask” or say “a shield” like the natal chart is the mask you wear while you do the work of the soul, and it’s not a prepackaged pre-programmed personality that you step into either This quote by Derek and Julia Parker is important “The worst people have the best charts!" - many experienced astrologers will agree! The subjects who seem to have all the planets in the right signs, brimming with trines, sextiles and lots of lovely conjunctions between the friendly, charming and helpful planets are usually the most awful people! The trouble with them is that they do appear exceptionally nice and initially generous, but then once they have warmed you over with their charm they ask their favours”. The concept of nature and nurture is very much relevant to astrology. and its the free will developed from this that activates or doesn’t positive or negative qualities in the chart. The person is not inside the chart The astrologer cannot predict death. This is also blasphemy and dishonouring spiritual law. an astrologer may be able to outline possible circumstances around death but never a time, place, and day The astrologer cannot predict your future. the condition of transits can outline what area of life comes under intense focus and pressure, but again there is no telling how an individual will personally respond. Major transits can signify big life events like the beginning or end of a relationship, but this is only possible if the soul map of the individual reflects this at the same time. For example the expression of Venus transiting through the 5th can indicate pregnancy, but having a child is a significant life event and Venus will transit everyone’s 5th house at least once a year and we don’t have an annual baby. The idea around this transit for example in simple terms is Venus brings pleasure and the 5th house is sex, excess, and parenting so if you like and want sex more the chances of pregnancy are higher. Another example is Saturn in the 7th. It can signify the end of a relationship through divorce, but it can also designate marriage, again there is no real way of telling how each individual will respond to this Astrologers are better at hindsight than foresight. Reflecting on the transit chart can help you to prepare (useful in the case of Saturn’s movement), feel a sense of justice or validation for the things you have been going through, or have experienced in your life but haven’t been able to explain or find a release from. We know when something major is going to happen by an upcoming cosmic event, but it’s very difficult to tell what, and we can reflect on events aligning the possible forces active in astrology that may have shaped this. There can be direction, for example, ‘Saturn is about to enter your 12th house you may need to spend a lot more time alone’ but no outcome. The astrologer cannot ‘find’ mental illness or PD in the birth chart. they can certainly conceive that excessive mercury placements can have troubles with the mind, and that unaspected planets can cause a sort of ‘split’ in the person but mental illness is a lot more serious and complex, it’s also disrespectful to the person as nobody was born with a broken chart. You cannot see or relate any personality disorder to the natal chart but nearly everybody’s chart will have attributes that go into the compound of what psychiatry calls a ‘personality disorder’, because both of these are talking about observable human behaviours and characteristics. the difference is PDs have a specific number of these attributes to a degree of disrupted functioning where they have been forced to seek help. astrology cannot point to this because astrology is personality unformed and unconditioned. You may be able to decipher a vulnerable temperament through profound sensitivity or possible problems with moderation or perfectionism that can can exaggerate the core trauma but this is trauma and no chart is frozen in time. more on that issue here:http://astrolocherry.com/post/157210824795/borderline-and-astrology

Like constellations, astrology is dots and it’s up to you to join them together

Astrology cannot predict the future, but it will help you create the best possible future for yourself. It highlights your unique talents, your purpose and personal mythology, and as Joseph Campbell calls it, ‘your bliss’

lots of houses without planets = directive and natural talent, ability to master skills, concentrated interests, the depth experience of certain matters, more direction, focus, and comprehension of the world, a decipherable life experience, highly sensitive and responsive to these areas

planets occupying most of the houses (like a splash chart) = the ability to see and experience multiple perspectives, directive confusion, lack of predictability, learns quickly but isn’t given time for much depth, can be rattled by the level of unassociated circumstances and experiences
