ASTRO OBSERVATIONS III
Hi guys, since "Astro Observations III" got more votes in my poll, here we go. Enjoy! Again, these are my observations. Take what resonates with you.
Since Mercury rules over the hands, when it’s strong in someone’s chart, it gives a talent related to the hands. But it really should be interpreted in compliance with the ASC of the person. For example, we shouldn’t automatically assume that the native is good at handcrafting when we see a Gemini Mercury. It can give talents related to writing, handcrafting, sports games involving shooting (it should be supported by Mars as well since it rules over the muscles), painting, etc. It also governs the nervous system, skin, mind, mouth/tongue. So if Mercury is strong, the native might have good communication skills, a good speaking or singing voice / be well-spoken, very smart, learn quickly, have good skin, and be less likely to have nervous problems. Still… We must take the other placements into consideration while guessing.
Let’s say the native has a Mercury-Venus conjunction in Gemini. That means they have a good voice, can sing well, can write well, can paint, can handcraft well… So which one? If the native has Pisces ASC, they will most likely channel this energy into some sort of abstract art like painting. But if they have Taurus/Libra ASC, it can emphasize beauty-related art forms; it can also represent painting but maybe in a more refined, aesthetic form. With Leo ASC, stage presence can be possible. With Virgo/Gemini rising, we can see people who are writers/poets or who write well. With Capricorn/Aries/Scorpio ASC, it can give handcraft/shooting-related sport skills. With Cancer/Taurus ASC, the native can cook very well. With Sagittarius ASC, the native can teach very well. Again, the whole chart should be interpreted—aspects matter too.
This doesn’t mean if it gives one skill, it won’t give the other skills lol. It’s more of a preference of the native. ’Cause it’s clear the native has this potential, but they choose one or two of them to focus on according to their ASC.
If the native has Lilith in the 12th house—since the 12th house represents addictions and escapism too—it can indicate a pattern of being scared to death of addicts in all forms, yet being pulled toward them. Fear is a strong energy that gravitates everything. I fear feeling fear lol.
Mercury square Neptune natives… So hard to communicate with them, for real. Always uncertainty or abstract meanings in their words. It gives tendencies toward lying, distorting reality on purpose or subconsciously and believing that lie, manipulative silence, hiding information, having difficulties with learning, etc. But it really depends on the signs and houses they are in.
With Aries Mercury in the 4th house, the focus is more on selfishness and the emotions of the native. So if the native distorts a reality, it’s what they feel about the reality. If they feel like they were shouted at—even though it didn’t happen—they might say “It’s true ’cause I felt like it! What I feel matters.” If it’s Libra Mercury in the 8th, here comes the manipulative silence and lying on purpose more. Either way, always check twice whenever they tell you something and don’t buy it blindly.
When the South Node touches a planet/asteroid/hypothetical point—whether it’s natal or a transit—it gives a theme of distancing oneself from the toxic traits or indicators of that placement. Let’s say natal SN conjuncts natal Venus or Juno: the theme is to love yourself the most when you’re alone; maybe you’re leaning too much into relationships, so you should distance yourself from this toxic trait.
During SN transits to your personal placements… It’s just wow. I can only give you an example from my chart. During a transit SN–natal Venus conjunction, I finally realized the harsh reality of my relationship and broke up in a peaceful way. Then we got back together, but the relationship ended for the very same reason a couple of months later. During a transit SN–natal Mercury conjunction, I started to communicate more calmly—I used to communicate more aggressively and had a hard time letting go of this trait in the past. But during this transit, it just happened naturally. Currently, transit SN is coming closer to my natal Chiron/Sun conjunction, and I’m curious to see which toxic trait I’ll say goodbye to.
Natives with a Scorpio stellium in the 10th house are most likely very observant of other people and manipulate them to their favor by observing their weak spots. Their words are very well-chosen. Let’s say they have a Jupiter–Venus–Mercury conjunction in Scorpio—this native is liked very much in society, especially in their career. They know what to say to bring luck to their career, and they do it in a very graceful, beautiful way ’cause Venus is there too. Even their anger is elegant. But be careful with them—they do things to manipulate situations in their favor. And they’re the ones who never say anything rude to your face but always gossip behind your back. Lobbying is their other name. While Scorpio might do this with careful silence and a purpose for control, other signs might do it in a different way. Aspects matter too—they show how this energy flows.
Cancer risings and people with a Neptune/ASC conjunction have the most gorgeous blue eyes! Especially Cancer risings—I swear to God, I’ve never seen people so beautiful in my life with this placement. I’m so jealous of them lol.
Lilith doesn’t always bring sexy looks or femme fatale vibes. I know a woman who has a Venus–Lilith conjunction with an exact degree and has never had a relationship—zero sex appeal. Or a woman with Lilith–Mercury conjunction in Gemini who has zero social and communication skills. We can easily say that they keep these sides of themselves hidden or under pressure. So… please be careful with these exaggerated and over-romanticized Lilith interpretations.
Since we’re talking about Lilith, I wanna say a couple words about Lilith transits. When Lilith touches a natal planet, it mostly brings liberation from a stressful situation related to that area, or some drama happens. For example, I broke up with my bf during a transit Lilith–natal Venus conjunction, and that breakup felt like a relief. It didn’t happen in a good way, though—it was a big fight. So… guys, please pay attention to Lilith transits more.
That's it for today, see you on my next post!
