The “I work hard, enjoy some of it, but others enjoy the most” placement
Jupiter-Saturn aspects in natal chart means you are the one who is creating generational wealth in your family, but not necessarily the one who will enjoy the most of it. Depending on the type of aspect it can either be something you are totally okay with (conjunction + trine/sextile) or have difficulties with accepting/managing (square and opposition).
Mayer Rothschild with Jupiter-Saturn in Leo is a good and big example of it. He had to work his ass off to leverage his whole family, enjoyed some of his wealth, but mostly created an empire for the next generations to enjoy the most. To the point where the public and the entire family are fully aware of who originated it.
Also good to mention that the following artists have this conjunction and are known for being the ones to have elevated their entire bloodline: Beyonce, Britney, and Christina.
This aspect was referred as a “karmic wealth” placement by a Jyotish astrologer (Luna Giselle) which is a very accurate way of summarizing it.
In Vedic, it is called a Mahayoga. It describes how these natives have done a lot of positive deeds in their past lives, and in this lifetime, they get to receive the positive effects of those actions, even though there might be some delays, they will enjoy all the good influences from it regardless.
pay attention; the moon signs
aries moon: pay attention not pushing everyone away by harsh words and quick decisions
taurus moon: pay attention not being closed off to change and staying at the same place while others could leave you behind
gemini moon: pay attention not confusing opinions or feelings and when not having you feelings sorted out
cancer moon: pay attention not to get swept away in frear, moodswings and melancholy or else you will have a hard time making solid steps in real life again
leo moon: pay attention not overdramatize situations, because you’ll be too much in a feeling or fantasie without considering the actual situation
virgo moon: pay attention to softness and don’t hide away behind a mask that is a product of overthinking and fear for things that didin’t happen yet
libra moon: pay attention not to make your emotions, opinions and ideals dependent on only those who you spend most time with/are closest to you
scorpio moon: pay attention not isolating your inner being too much and distrusting others or you will turn lonely and act out of hate, spite and bitterness
sagittarius moon: pay attention not being too fixed on finding your perfect ‘ideology’ or sticking to it all the time
capricorn moon: pay attention to letting yourself feel something and talk about it or else your supressed emotions will shine through in your actions and life decisions
aquarius moon: pay attention to see yourself as one of the rest from time to time or you will have a hard time understanding others and talking things out healthy
pisces moon: pay attention to set boundaries for yourself and your feelings and allow yourself to look at a situation factual or else the line between you and the world will get invisible

Duplicated houses
✩ Interceptions and Duplications – an introduction ✩
If your birth chart ever looked like this:
or even this:
✦ congrats: you have an interception. An interception points to a house in your chart that is occupying two signs, also known as a house 'swallowing' one sign. You can see in the examples given above, that there are houses that rule two signs (the so called interceptions), while there are simultaniously signs ruling two houses (the duplications). In the examples above, the two people only have two interceptions and two duplications, but there are people who can have up to 4 or even 6 interceptions in their birth chart, depending on how close to the poles of the earth they were born. Interceptions are only visible if you use Placidus, Koch or any other house system that will not split up the degrees of the 12th houses equally (30°), or else one house couldn't 'swallow' another sign.
✦ The intercepted sign in your chart is known as a 'hidden' area – what is meant by that? It's basically a signs qualities that are hard to access, seemingly 'overshadowed' by the sign before. An intercepted sign points to an area in our life that has no own house it can rule over, sitting in the shadows of the sign before it.
✦ How come the intercepted sign is hard to access and tap into? With interceptions, we will find that these characteristics of the sign that is intercepted were not supported and thus properly developed in our early upbringing. For example if you have Leo intercepted in the 1st, chances are being proudly present and allowing the self to shine in the moment and to search for ways to playfully interact with your environment wasn't something that the people in your close environment supported or other qualities were more important - we look at the sign before Leo here, so Cancer qualities were supported and expected.
✦ This is another aspect important to notice in interceptions: they always come in pairs, aka their opposite sign. If you have Aries intercepted, Libra will be intercepted too, thus it's important to see that the natural balance of the Aries-Libra axis is 'damaged' in some sort of way, as the signs before Aries and Libra (Pisces and Virgo) want to take over the role of the single ruler of the house these two signs it it. So it's important to get to know the transition of meaning between the signs. Example: Pisces is the dream, while Aries becomes the dream in real life. Pisces rings in the last days of winter, while Aries is the new life and rings in the blooming spring and embodies the foreign dream with enthusiasm and action.
✦ As the interceptions always come in pairs, knowing the general themes the sister-sign pairs embody is from importance as well.
✦ Interceptions can also be seen as areas in your life that weren't fully 'ready' to be accessible and discovered by you yet, hence, they hide in the shadows of the sign before them. This can manifest on a more psychological level, often times it can be in the literal sense as well, so that your physical environment was the 'lack of' that made things inaccessible or harder to get and thus actualize. Generally speaking though, the intercepted sign is an area in life one only understands better the more they grow, only then, one will realize the blockage and confusion, as well as possible misguidance that can happen in intercepted houses.
✦ Intercepted planets: if you have a planet in an intercepted sign, it is intercepted. Compared to empty intercepted houses, an intercepted planet can be even harder to 'unlock', because the planets qualities aren't fully or healthily developed, thus, leading to 'blooming late' in those planets. Therefore, empty intercepted houses are still easier to work with than empty intercepted houses, because the planet is an active part of our life that can not healthily express and manifest itself.
✦ Interceptions bottle up a lot of energy, therefore they can act out impulsively and seemingly overflow, leading to the individual recognizing the parts of themself they have dismissed, malnourished or forgotten. Therefore, they can act out negatively as well, as the native forcefully tries to integrate these qualities into their life, without understanding the hidden motivation behind the why. Interceptions usually carry some sort of 'origin story' as to why the intercepted signs qualities are not properly expressed, so it's important to look at the reasoning.
✦ Now that we've settled the basics, what to do with the interceptions? There are two ways in order to active the intercepted house, as well as to 'make up for it'.
✦ How to make up for it? We look at the duplication here. The duplication is a sign that rules two houses in order to make up for the intercepted area in the chart. You can see the duplicated sign as your area of expertise in that sense. There is a big focus on these signs qualities and chances are you early learned to develop them well. When you have an overview over your interceptions and duplications, don't forget to look ate the modalities and elements of the intercepted/duplicated signs/houses, as this will give you an even more in depth understanding of these dynamics.
✦ How to activate the intercepted sign? Here we have to look at the ruling planets of the intercepted signs (e.g.: if Leo is intercepted look at Sun). In this way, we can see what energy we need to tap in and understand in order to activate and healthily support our intercepted sign.
✦ Important reminder, please read: It is important to look at everything in combination here, from the interceptions, to the duplication and especially the signs and houses in combination, one interpretation on it's own will not bring the full picture to the surface.
please do not copy or rewrite my work.
✩ Interceptions in the signs and houses ✩
✦ Aries-Libra: This is about one's sense of self in relation to others. In fact, it's about how the individual assert the self and how one relates to others, as well as how you integrate those two components healthily. Assertion and compromise can become foreign abilities, here the sense of self can also be orientated on others: there is a difficulty actualizing dreams and plans, as well as communicating them to people or not getting lost in the ideas and plans of others and mistaken them as ones own plans. Autonomy is challenged, changing ones path can become difficult, same with mutually deciding with others to set a path together. Here, one become too detached from ego and ego of a group/a connection, one can feel too detached from situations, connections, even life itself sometimes, being more about intellectualizing or fantasizing of how things are or should be without feeling a very personal link to it. The individual can have a difficulty with merging too much with someone else in a connection (taking on their ego and individuality) or being too detached and separated from others, being more of a 'loner'.
✦ 1st and 7th house: This can feel like part of ones identity is missing, something waiting to be let out and manifest itself finally. One can feel 'incomplete' and misunderstood in their social connections as they feel people don't see them as who they really are or will not accept and give them what them what they need. One's part of self was not appropriate/encouraged to grow into, they had to be someone else in their environment. Can create feelings of 'people don't really see me for me' or who the person thinks they are in their head. Can lead to difficulties in connections due to possible in-authenticity/ sudden change of character.
✦ Taurus-Scorpio: Stability is a big theme here, an individual who has troubles identifying what is valuable in their life and what they should stick to, not knowing what is good for them/not having a natural sense of dedication for something they see value in/see as worthy. An unhealthy relationship to material goods can occur, due to not experiencing the privilege to endorse in them/endorse in them healthily. Here, one can also forget what they can bring to the table and stop cultivating what one perceives as valuable, there's a tendency to forget ones own power and being able to provide for ones own safety and especially maintaining it. There is a possibility that the individual looks at others to bring them a sense of value. Having troubles actually following through with plans and ideas, or not being able to relax and enjoy what you have or earned, possibly leading to greed/a fear of losing what one has. That inability to share can also be about emotional depths and the own insights/truths, vulnerability is difficult to express, thus one always remains in the status quo.
✦ 2nd and 8th house: Insecurity is a general theme here, not growing up with enough financial, material and emotional security. Qualities of the self are not perceived as valuable/where not perceived as valuable from others or one wasn't seen as valuable because the intercepted signs qualities are hard to develop, ultimately leading to see that the repressed characteristics in one are also of value and can help one regaining material but also inner stability (strengthening self-esteem). Insecurity shows in intimate connections, there could be a parts in the individual that were left unaddressed but really needed in order to move through any negativity and become more self-empowered, as well as to notice what one needs on an intimate base from the people close to them. One can thus not recognize their inner/hidden power, as well as be afraid of what is safe to be shared with others – part of the self can become 'taboo', possibly due to being encouraged to silence that part or forcefully burying it deep in the psyche.
✦ Gemini-Sagittarius: This can feel harder to expand ones mind and form an opinion of your own based on what one takes on and learn from the world. The axis of information, knowledge and believes, ones horizon can feel limited here, often times due to ideas and facts that have been given to us as the only answer or ultimate truth. The expansion of the mind can feel hindered by not knowing how to mentally and spiritually leave a current situation and set the self free to search for a clearer coast. There's also a general fear of leaving what is familiar, physically or intellectually. There can be rigid believes that hold the individual in a tight grip, someone is afraid to leave ones bubble they grew up in, pointing to a general pessimism/suspicion towards anything new or not ordinary/more creative. Relating to others or getting information from others, as taking wisdom from others because the self apparently can't have the answers can be common here. Overindulgence in information, but not getting any real value and use out of it. Possible over-consumption of knowledge or only reducing knowledge/learning to only the subjects that 'really matter/are necessary'. There is a lack of fun in exploring.
✦ 3rd and 9th house: What does one want to communicate and for what reason? There is a side to the individual that feels like it isn't worthy of being communicated, that wasn't perceived as 'intelligent' enough, could include judgment of ideas and a style of speaking/learning and seeing the world in educational institutes, the neighborhood, siblings or peers. The individuals 'why' in this world seems flawed, their words and self expression is based on what exactly? There is a chance they can't put their finger on it themself. Could lead to possible mislead in life, a 'shock' of realizing that one is running away from a part of themself. Can result into literal inability to move away and roam the world. Siblings can be the reason for why one had to keep certain thoughts and ideas to the self, why someone had to stay 'quiet'.
✦ Cancer-Capricorn: Not knowing how to nurture the self. Difficulty caring and providing for the self and possibly even for others too, because there is a lack of emotional depth and connectivity, even if one is able to connect mentally with others. It can result out of a lack of care at home, there's a general question of where home is and how one can create a comfortable, stable and healthy home life. Feeling like having no true roots, impossible to build anything stable and profitable on ones own roots can be common. Having troubles in stabilizing any emotions in people, as well as material security, one can feel like they haven't have the inner stability to root themselves successfully in the world. Flexibility and logic was more valued than emotions/emotional care, as well as material stability. A general feeling of powerlessness/defeat can be a common feeling, as one is not able to set their believes and ambitions in stone, a lack of discipline and working consistency, a general sense of impatience.
✦ 4th and 10th house: Here, the problems resulted in the home life and manifested later in ones public life as well, showing clearly when it comes to the reputation, here the intercepted signs qualities were particularly not supported and encouraged at home, possibly due to a parental figure having certain expectations of the child that left them empty, but it could have come from anyone else from the family/a general family/generational issue as well. Problems with the parental figures are relived at the job/with other authoritative figures later in life. Disliking that one can not be in public what they want to be seen as or possibly they need to hide particular parts of themself to succeed in their career/in the public sphere. Someone having to 'mask' a hidden part of their self in public.
✦Leo-Aquarius: Not seeing ones uniqueness, ones individuality (mind and heart) being mistaken as 'common' and thus resulting into believing one has to 'stay in lane'. 'Acting out' was possibly taught to be avoided, one shouldn't have taken the spotlight, one feels like it's hard dedicating time and effort blindly on the self and doing things 'egoistically', out of fun and doing what simply feels good for the self. There could have been occasions where one was falsely made to believe that being focused on the self isn't good, that one was 'too selfish', because they weren't putting the work into others. Stepping mentally as well as physically outside of the box wasn't encouraged because focus was put on caring for what's in front of you, possibly the family or anything that 'really mattered', so there was no time thinking outside of the box to begin with. Having a fear of what will happen when one is against the norm, possibly having been alienated once or fearing what will happen when they get alienated.
✦ 5th and 11th house: Showing where one was forbidden to be oneself and where someone's special talents were discredited or taken from them, where the light was (purposefully) dimmed and what seems either inappropriate and is demonized but actually really craved in ones self expression. Could be due to having to be responsible for others, especially children. Due to certain parts about the creative self being not supported, one could have troubles having any future aspirations or hopes for their future (loss of imagination), troubles finding a group to support or seeing one of a part of group that supports one. Difficulty with friend groups or finding like minded people, one can become closed off or want people to appreciate and support their creativity here. Feeling a sense of hopelessness because they can't let the sun shine on them, so they have troubles seeing the future and other people in another, brighter light.
✦ Virgo-Pisces: A lack of organizational skills and taking care of the self physically and spiritually. Here could find someone either growing up without having to develop Virgos and Pisces skillset, either very ego-focused and relying on other people, or simply because there was generally no sense of organization around them, meaning one hadto become self focused. Therefore, there can also be a disconnect to anything spiritual, one focuses on the physical realm and what has to be done now, being dependent on anything set on believes, trusting something you can't imagine and can't physically grasp and is not set in the here and now right in front of you can become hard. There is a general apprehensiveness towards the acceptance of how things are and surrendering and fixing them. 'Tiding up' ones environment as well as ones self (spiritually) could be a neglected necessity.
✦ 6th and 12th house: This interception can be a bit difficult because even though the intercepted 6th house might be easier to notice, the 12th house interceptions isn't always. Ultimately, it will show in the relationship to mind and body. Anything unresolved in the intercepted 12th house can manifest in the body, and thus try to reclaim the attention of the individual. The individual might reject the shadow house of the intercepted 12th house, thinking this can't be who they are from deep within, potentially sabotaging the self into disbelieve. Next to sudden issues related to health/the body, there could also be a difficulty about working for others, which can also manifest in the job/work field. There can be a general lack of understanding why certain qualities are important in organizing ones life, making it harder to maintain a stabler lifestyle, thus also a stabler mind-body relationship.
✩ Duplicated signs ✩
✦ Aries-Libra: Good understanding of the self and how to insert the self in social settings, knowing how one functions alone and with others and thus having a good understanding of social contexts/skills. A good understanding of when to be alone and when to lead others, knowing the balance of being headstrong and moving forward, as well as slowing down, listening and negotiating.
✦ Taurus-Scorpio: Knows how to get what they want because the individual has strong tenacity. Knowing what is good for them and what brings them value, as well as making things valuable, strong moral codex and fixed ideas. Making more out of what one already has, being choosier with what one gives away to others due to heightened self awareness, being focused on cultivating valuable things for the self, focusing on self-empowerment and generally being aware of ones own power, as well as regenerating quickly.
✦ Gemini-Sagittarius: Here, the mind becomes the biggest weapon. Grasping new concepts and being able to get out of ones own bubble/comfort zone might come easier, as the individual not only naturally soaks up lots of information, but can also easily build a mental connection to others, though they can be very fixated on logical reasoning/coherent patterns. Walking encyclopedias/ manual, mentally very adaptive. Communication can be from advance (no matter if written or spoken).
✦ Cancer-Capricorn: Knows how to balance inner and outer needs as well as expectations, the inner security brings them the solid foundation everything they want can be build on later in life. Having great endurance, because acknowledging real life circumstances one has to deal with brings acceptance and discipline, while the emotional stability gives also makes one regenerate emotionally – the last point can also be achieved through others, others (the ones cancer considers 'family') being their regeneration point.
✦ Leo-Aquarius: Knows their purpose, confident in ones individuality and wearing it as a batch. Is focused on creating their own place in society, rejection is a form of adjusting to a new course, dancing to the beat of their own drum (or with like-minded people) is very important here and thus gifts them also with a lot of self-reliance and self-sufficiency. Generally makes own aware of the fact that differences create a beautiful contrast to others, individuality is celebrated. Even if their isn't a clear goal/direction they follow in life, the experience of (re)defining and reinforcing themself while being on the way is what gives the joy.
✦ Virgo-Pisces: Can bring a good understanding of the connection between body and soul. Here, the dream and reality can work really well together, giving one the benefit to not only dream extensively, but also be aware of the real life rules to make this dream ones reality. One is aware of the limitations and/or requirements (organization), but also very in touch with the spiritual, intuitive and creative side that guides one towards meaning in life. Spirituality and the mundane go hand in hand here. One is focused on analyzing and working on (or even with) own difficulties, trying to deeply grasps any concepts and trying to achieve inner, spiritual growth, by understanding the bigger picture through the details.
✩ Duplicated Houses ✩
✦ 1st and 2nd house - 7th and 8th house: Ones identity and value/self worth correspond to the other here, who 'I am' and what I own and have merge. I can increase/decrease my self worth through my identity, meanwhile my material stability/possession and my self worth influence my identity. Developing a strong sense of self-worth is empathized here, as well as being strong in character. Social connections can become another focal point, in a way, people can be your source of energy or be of value for you. Business and intimate connections can mix here, trying to duplicate (material) worth by working together.
✦ 2nd and 3rd house - 8th and 9th house: Ones close environment and self-worth correspond with each other here, what and who your surround yourself with might have an even stronger impact on how you feel about yourself and the ability to maintain material security, your environment can really set the tone for your self-esteem. This can also point to seeing greater chances in how to make your surroundings more valuable (putting resources of any kind into them), or seeing where you can get value out of them, potentially increasing your self-esteem. Here, one also develops a strong faith/believe/life philosophy after any experience that broke their security and thus the individual can be very resilient. There is a chance someone will deepen their 'truth' by gathering more knowledge on it, either by learning/studying on it or by experience. Can give the individual a sense of fearlessness.
✦ 3rd and 4th house 9th and 10th house: Communication/logic and the heart merge here, thus leading to someone who can transfer and dissect emotional messages through the spoken and written word easily, here, the early education and the home might have merged (studying at home, school feeling like 'home'). Learning is part of the default system of the individual. The individual could put an empathize on expansion and not growing stagnant, even in their career later on. The deep emotional understanding of people and communication skills help the individual communicating their higher set of believes and philosophies to others, one is motivated to leave a mark in society because they have a deep set believe that fuels their inner flame and energizes them.
✦ 4th and 5th house 10th and 11th house: Allowing our vulnerable self to be shown to others and be expressed creatively and be looked at. This can create a very honest, authentic individual, unafraid to let ones 'ugly sides' be reflected in their performance to others. Chances are also creative, unique self expression was encouraged at home and is part of ones emotional outlets (eg. drawing, cooking, dancing to process emotions). This can also lead to someone needing to be in a cycle of people that they feel mentally as well as emotionally connected to in their work space or generally speaking a career path that allows them to meet a lot of like-minded people. Their compassion wants to be transformed into activism, the ego here is bound to be giving to the collective/the future, possibly caring a lot about future/younger generations or the prevention/betterment of (parts of) society/social groups.
✦ 5th and 6th house 11th and 12th house: Creative self expression and work, as well as the mundane/daily life merge here. The individual could feel a strong urge to have a creatively expressive job, being able to express themself freely in their work space, or to have a job that is in a creative/artistic field/children likewise ones daily routine could revolve around ones ability to have time to have fun/be creative. The individual could feel strongly connected to the collective, working with or for people with a higher goal or motivation in mind, possibly being guided a spiritual believe or seeking out communities/people that share the same believe/motivation. The individual could be very sure of how exactly they want to leave a mark on this world/how they want to leave this planet.
✦ 6th and 7th house-1st and 12th house: Here, the individual might find themselves naturally very giving and dedicated to other people and/or in general dedicated to their service for others/society. Others show how we can improve and manage ourself better by helping/managing them/their life. The strong focus the individual has to their work and co-workers can help them unravel the side of them they have a harder time accepting/integrating as they might meet many people embodying their 7th house signs energy at their work place. The 12th house themes of the subconscious self can unknowingly into ones identity. The individual might be very focused on self-improvement (or self destruction). Despite that though, the person can be very in touch with their spiritual side/spirituality in general and likes to carry this side of them on the outside, possibly liking to guide/help others. Due to the 1st and 12thhouse duplicated, the individual can be hard to read/understand for others (at first glance).
Below are ten crafts, altars, spells and ritual ideas for solitaries that either I personally or other covens have done throughout the ...
Coping Mechanisms and Immediate Responses to Pain
Chiron-Sun aspects: “smiling through the pain,” remaining positive, constantly trying to maintain inner vitality in the face of suffering, resorting to egocentric behaviors (narcissism, attention-seeking, defensiveness, etc), adopting an “out of sight, out of mind” mentality and purposefully distracting oneself, looking to playfulness & creativity & validation for comfort or healing, forcing happiness.
Chiron-Moon aspects: retreating to what is familiar, withdrawing, internalizing, leaning on family, searching for sympathy and support, resting, relying on or over-indulging in material & physical comforts/pleasures, periodically flushing the emotional & psychological systems, acquiescing to circumstance, wallowing in pain and feeling it fully until it “runs its course” or to receive pity.
Chiron-Mercury aspects: rationalizing, over-analyzing, taking the problem too logically or too clinically, taking the problem too seriously or not seriously enough, detaching emotionally from the source of pain and thus dehumanizing oneself, “turning off” emotions, invalidating one’s emotions, reflecting on & studying circumstance, distracting oneself, moving on too quickly.
Chiron-Venus aspects: romanticizing pain, downplaying the severity or depth of pain, beautifying circumstance, refusing to be introspective or reflective and choosing feeble superficial solutions instead, relying on others to the point of unhealthy dependence, searching for healing in art & love, ignoring problems to maintain an appearance, pretending to heal to avoid complications/disharmony.
Chiron-Mars aspects: instantly going into survival mode, feeling threatened and reacting with hostility, defending oneself harshly, allowing instincts to rule as a form of self-protection, releasing tension and pain through antagonism or constructive creativity, retreating or turning aggressive, funneling or stimulating interior energy through the physical body, turning off the mind, acting out.

Chiron-Saturn aspects: seeing pain as punishment or duty, draining all one’s energy into solving the circumstance, feeling exhausted and burdened by suffering, “getting used to” hardship, trying to “toughen up,” choosing to bear pain all alone to avoid being a burden/nuisance or to “be strong,” telling oneself the pain is deserved or necessary, trying to self-improve through hardship.
Chiron-Uranus aspects: drawing inspiration from pain or inspiring others with it, rebelling & acting out, initiating big changes to shake up the circumstance and avoid stagnation, seeing one’s pain as a reflection of a broader concept, contextualizing one’s pain into all of humanity, using community to cope, allowing pain to change the way one lives / looks / behaves, detaching.
Chiron-Neptune aspects: romanticizing or sanctifying pain, getting lost in suffering, resigning to hardship & becoming a martyr to it, “suffering so that others don’t have to,” trying to escape pain completely, trying to bring others into one’s suffering to create a sense of unity, fabricating delusions to avoid the reality of the circumstance, hiding one’s pain in a realm that other’s can’t reach.
Chiron-Pluto aspects: delving deep into the “wound” and not being able to get back out, resorting to self-destructive behaviors, weaponizing one’s pain against others, obsessing over / fixating on suffering, adoring/”needing” and creating pain, becoming “addicted” to pain, indulging in darkness and bad medicine, concealing pain even from oneself, clinging to the death/rebirth cycle.

If you are only able to interpret astrology through the lens of how it affects you, you are a bad astrologer. Pisces is not “confusing” because “confusing” is not a personality trait; Scorpio is not “scary” because “scary” is not a personality trait, etc. You’re not describing the Zodiac, you’re just describing your own incapacity to be genuinely empathetic or objectively analytical. This is my biggest issue with the (inexperienced) astrology communities on social media: there is so much catering to deliberately unempathetic perceptions of other people. The stereotypical reduction of a sign to a set of feelings you get when you interact with them is so one-dimensional and self-absorbed, and it’s unbelievable to me how a lot of newer astrologers / astrology hobbyists don’t see how this is literally destroying the point of the practice and shoving so many people away.
Astrology is nothing without empathy and if you can’t grasp that, you shouldn’t be looking at anyone’s natal chart.
Natal Pluto Sextile Aspects
Pluto Sextile Ascendant: This gives intensity, power, magnetism, and darkness to the Ascendant. These people easily intimidate others or fascinate them. Dark and edgy appearances or interests might exist here. This aspect is known for making someone you “love or hate” right away.
Pluto Sextile Midheaven: Lots of ambition here, but one needs to be careful of that ambition turning into obsession.
