Painful placements in astrology II
Masterlist
Click here for part one of the “painful placements in astrology” series. Let me know how this resonated and any suggestions you guys have! 🦋
💜 Lilith in signs or houses can actually show what you’re good at repressing. Considering Lilith’s backstory. Now this type of repression comes from trauma, and a fear that expressing the qualities of the house, sign and/or aspects will lead to some sort of threat or imminent danger. For example Lilith in 12th house, you’ve likely had to repress your spirituality due to fear of judgement or danger from expressing your true beliefs etc.
💙 Saturn making harsh aspects to Mercury. This can be quite common due to the length of stays of Saturn and Mercury in a sign. These people may notice that they feel completely unheard in life. Moreover, people can just easily make them feel incompetent, even if they have good knowledge on what they are taking about. Made to feel like their opinions and ideas are irrelevant and useless. A lot of this happens in the earlier portion of their life and they can be easily targeted. However as they get older, they learn to step more and more into their power. This is mainly due to Saturn’s influence on growth, structure, and longevity.
💜 Uranus/Chiron/Saturn aspects to the 1st house. These people likely have been bullied for their appearance quite early on in life. They were made to feel very insecure and this likely also affected their personality growing up. Either these people learn to stand up for themselves really quickly or they start developing this trait a bit later on. Either way they learn to fight for themselves even when no one else will. They learn to be their own safety. These people are also quite commonly late bloomers. Whilst others peak in high school, these people age like fine wine, despite having a more mature appearance at times due to Saturn’s and Uranus’s influence.
💙 Mars in 4th house, how was your family life growing up and dare I say even now? These people have likely encountered a violent, erratic, and unpredictable family environment. Constant shouting and arguing, abuse really shapes a lot of their memories of family life.
💜 This is a very broad observation, but I’ve noticed so many people with Scorpio placements, planets and asteroids experience some form of sexual abuse. Doesn’t have to be physical, it could be verbal, for example they could be prone to being catcalled. It’s like their sexuality is on display for others to do so with as they please. Unsolicited judgements and advice etc. They could be wearing the most basic outfits but get more sexualised than if someone else without Scorpio placements was wearing them. They need to learn how to harness this sexual energy and utilise it for manifestations.
💙 Saturn/Capricorn in 4th house, or even planets in 4th house making aspects to planets in 10th house/Capricorn. These individuals likely experienced a strict, overly disciplined family life, especially growing up. Their family, particularly the father figure was hell-bent on humbling and disciplining them every chance they got. This could’ve really shaped their school life, like being bullied for not having a pair of branded trainers for example. It doesn’t necessarily have to be that the family couldn’t afford more expensive goods, it’s more about the authority figure just not splurging on the child in order to humble them. Moreover, the authority figures ego was likely very high, and anything that even slightly ticked them off would be taken out on restricting the child’s hobbies and interests. Again with the thought that “this will teach them a lesson.” In the long run, this could actually either lead to the native overspending and developing very impulsive spending habits, or not spending on themselves at all once they start to earn money for themselves.
