ASTRO OBSERVATIONS • PART NINE 🦋
many cancer suns i know just… LOVE appearing slightly spooky. like. having their nails painted black, big silver rings on every other finger, snake, skeleton, etc. jewellery on (they’re a sucker for lots of jewellery by the way, and they can be very good at layering), alternative style of clothing, chokers and very intense eyeshadow. hu tao kinnies, i swear
i’ve observed that having MERCURY, saturn, pluto, URANUS, neptune in the 3rd house is a huge indicator of struggling with mental illnesses. this is because the 3rd house deals with our mental processes and the perspective in which we take in the world around us. saturn, pluto and neptune are malefic planets, which bring a lot of difficulties and obstacles to overcome, while mercury and uranus have a very inconstant and volatile energy that brings a lot of unpredictable transformations and can make our minds prone to a very unstable nature/coping mechanisms, which is why i put those two planets in all caps. but of course, remember that mental health is a very complex subject and it’s much more complicated than this, plus birth chart interpretations are different and personal to everyone
mercury also deals with our mental processes, it’s the very essence of how our mind works and takes in life, so a highly aspected mercury can make someone have a very fascinating and complex way of thinking, filled with contradictions and different ways of seeing things. it can also make you very introspective because your mind is a very alive and active place
going by that line of thinking, i believe your most aspected planets are the areas in your life where there is the most ground for complexity. the same way people with a highly aspected mercury have a very complex mind, people with a highly aspected moon have a very complex, perhaps even confusing and intense emotional life and relationship with their childhood sense of nourishment and mother figure; your least aspected planets can be the most direct and “in your face” kind of black or white that doesn’t give much space for the greyness.
pluto can be very tied with your feelings of guilt and shame, so its house in your birth chart + the planets it affects can give you huge insight into where you feel guilty. people with a highly aspected pluto in general deal with a HUGE amount of guilt over everything, even things completely out of their control—which can be very burdensome and downright debilitating, due to living life through a constant fear that they’ve hurt others and are guilty of their suffering, feeling very guilty over minor things, etc. but going back to pluto and the themes of guilt you deal with, let me give you an example: i have pluto in the 9th house and i come from a very religious household, and i deal with a lot of religious guilt. pluto aspects my ascendant and i often feel guilty when i feel like i look hot because i feel like i somehow don’t deserve to experience a good self-esteem; pluto aspects my mercury and i feel very guilty over the judgments i make of others, guilt over my intrusive thoughts and stuff like that. i imagine that if pluto aspects your venus, you can feel very guilty over your necessity for love and openly expressing your affection for others, you can also feel ashamed of your past romantic endeavors. pluto aspecting your mars can make you very ashamed of your aggressive and impulsive drive, over the way that you assert yourself. pluto aspecting saturn can make you feel much too guilty when disobeying rules and being irresponsible, you can go beyond and above to be thoughtful towards other people so when you don’t, it makes you ashamed of your behavior, and you can feel veryyyy guilty when you lose control.
having sun conjunct venus is like. oh, im sorry for being fun and flirty and a delight to be around, for being the sun that lights up the life of the people around me, for seeing always the good side of things and being eternally hopeful for better days, for laughing loud and hard and constantly and believing in the goodness of human nature, it is absolutely my fault and i WILL do it again! 😌🦋
mars in aries people…. my beloathed. i urge you to be more mindful and patient with others because time and time again i see people with this placement lashing out on others unprovoked because they can’t keep their own emotions in check. your loved ones shouldn’t be dealing with your explosive tantrums and passive-aggressive silent treatment when they have nothing to do with the emotional battle you’re facing. please do be more considerate
people with jupiter in the 2nd house can be hoarders and feel very attracted towards collecting things of their interest—if you’re into spirituality you can collect crystals, if you’re into anime/kpop/books/video games you can collect a lot of merch of the fandoms you’re in and put a lot of emotional baggage on said collections, which can be hard to break and can develop into a shopping addiction. marie kondo speaks to your hearts
i don’t know which venus in the 7th house/10th house/11th house needs to hear this but you can’t keep using your sex appeal to establish connections and then wonder why all your friends either (1) are in love with you or (2) want to fuck you, have a great day you charming little shit
i fully believe that in pride and prejudice’s book, elizabeth is 100% a gemini, and with heavy gemini influence (in the book, because when i think of the 2005 movie, it’s no surprise that she’s always talked of as a capricorn—but the movie and the book portray her character much differently i feel). her biggest and most distinct personality trait is her wittiness and fondness for analyzing other people’s character; she uses words VERY provocatively and constantly analyzes past recollections, memories, even letters so that she can see them from a different perspective and find the subliminal meanings in them that she missed. i legit cannot think of a character who embodies the gemini archetype more than her, so much of her is tied to her sharpness and even her flaws are tied to the way her mind works, aka her prejudice. AND her biggest trigger is her family embarrassing her with their lack of social intelligence. IT’S SO PERFECT
venus in the 10th house is the biggest milf placement. people with this placement age backwards and tend to grow into their beauty, to bloom more and more as the years go by. the perfect example i have for this is alex (hrh collection) on youtube—i swear she looks more youthful and glowing every time i see her, it’s mystifying
love is stored in the kitchen for 2nd house moons. cook for them and they’ll feel so overwhelmed with emotion, they often forget to take care of themselves so when someone takes the time to prepare them a fresh and cozy meal, it’s the biggest proof of affection for them. and they’ll reciprocate your energy eagerness because they secretly love to take care of others as well, they give peak caretaker energy
in synastry, when your venus conjuncts someone’s venus, people can ship you together a LOT. people can always assume you guys are a couple and you can be constantly told that you’d be very cute together; you can be very soft for each other which makes others suspect you’re more than friends even when you’re just platonic. you guys literally give each other love eyes whenever you’re close
people with mars in the 4th house seem ALWAYS at war with themselves; i swear they could be talking to the wall and still get very argumentative. and, you can bet they will defend themselves to the very end. you can try to come for them, but they’ll always rise stronger and with more perseverance. also, they can give off a very aggressive energy (especially if they have aries in their chart)—even when they want peace and to chill, people think they’re looking for a fight.
the body part which your saturn rules can be the one you use the most, and become more practiced with. i have saturn in gemini and i’m a writer, my bestie also has a gemini saturn and she’s in the arts field where she draws a LOT. “what if i have saturn in capricorn? capricorn rules the knees” that means you’re always sucking dick, next question
planets which are both aspected by saturn and jupiter have that “last year i abstained, this year i devour” energy. mercury aspected by both saturn and jupiter: going from being very silent to very talkative REAL fast. moon aspected by both saturn and jupiter: going from feeling emotionally numb to overwhelmingly intense emotions. venus-saturn + venus-jupiter: addicted to affection vs. feeling repulsed and terrified of intimacy. wearing your emotions on your sleeve and then, protecting your heart with an iron grip. with saturn aspecting jupiter, you can go from incredibly responsible and low-energy to dangerously impulsive and hyperactive in a heartbeat.
being saturn/capricorn/aquarius ruled/dominant can make you a very studious person, not necessarily related to school. even if you didn’t care at all for school, you find it very important to be a highly educated person, so you research a lot on the topics which pique your interest, you constantly expand your vocabulary and you can feel very drawn towards extensive reading and critical analysis. video essays my beloved
listen to moment by victoria monet—whatever that song irradiates, is the essence of people with pisces placements/neptune predominance in their birth chart
having venus/moon in the 3rd house in your composite chart with someone can point to bonding through your music tastes, also to listening to music while thinking of the other person a lot, to dedicating each other songs + making playlists together; music is a whole love language for you guys
i have NEVER met a sagittarius/jupiter dominant in my life who wasn’t OBSESSED with christmas. they have that “157 days till christmas!! i can’t wait 🥰” energy LMFAO, they get so excited about festivities in general
having a 4th house predominance in your composite chart with someone, or having your planets falling in someone’s 4th house and vice versa in synastry can point to showing love through cooking for each other, cooking and eating a lot together, teaching each other new recipes, etc
having a strong 7th house energy can literally mean you get involved with the law a lot. especially when personal planets are there, you can find yourself fighting through legal cases in the court throughout your life, and they can get messy and very time-consuming.
Virgo in the birth chart can indicate your biggest source of anxiety. If you have virgo in the 6th house, you can be very anxious at work due to a perfectionist streak and fear of failure. If you have virgo in the 11th house, you can be very anxious thinking of the future and thus, have a million different plans to overcompensate for your fear of not achieving success. With virgo in the 7th house, your relationships can be what gives you the most anxiety + the way you’re viewed by others, your reputation. Virgo risings can be extremely anxious when it comes to their identity because they find it difficult to know who they truly are and what they want from life. With moon in virgo, you can fear emotional turmoil and so you avoid overly emotional situations so that you won’t lose control of your emotions. you can also be incredibly anxious when it comes to receiving criticism. jupiter in virgo can feel anxious about their luck or lack thereof, by feeling like luck is barely ever on their side, and that they have to work very hard for whatever they want because it never comes easily.
i feel like… people with venus conjunct mars often feel uncomfortable by the amount of attention they receive. like. they understand very well how magnetic and charming they are because people don’t hide their obvious preference towards them, but they can become so overwhelmed by the fact that people just don’t leave them alone. plus, they can often feel oversexualized, like they’ll be at work chilling and people will still constantly try to flirt with them. i want to give yall a hug
the calmest people i’ve ever met had an aquarius mars. and i don’t mean “calm” in the sense that you’re quiet; quite the contrary, you have a very spontaneous and quirky personality. i mean calm in the sense that, in situations where others would have lost their shit, you remained collected. you find it very difficult to show your anger… and you possess an insane amount of patience. you have great leadership skills due to your ability to not only keep your cool but also ease other people’s stress
