Things to focus on/develop ~ Aspects and planets placements
Mars square Pluto - you’re clearly very hard-working and know how to get your way when you want to. The danger with this placement is overworking yourself to the point of burnout and perhaps even collapse. Your value doesn’t lie in the work that you do. You are worthy simply by existing. You are a child of this universe. A part of everything that it is. Show yourself the love that you deserve and take enough well-deserved rests. The world will not fall apart if you sometimes decide not to be so hard on yourself and perfectionistic. You deserve to relax, take it easy and let others shoulder some responsibility too.
Pluto in 8th house - you’ve been burned in life, haven’t you? People you trusted betrayed you, you faced death, illness, sex, everything one would define as taboo. The word crisis has likely becoming something very personal, painfully familiar to you. You’ve been through the dark night of the soul more times than you’d like to admit. You know just how horrible people can be. You see their darkness. The truths they’d never admit to themselves. All things considered, why would you ever allow yourself to be vulnerable, to expose yourself? When the ending all seems very clear to you. How inevitable pain will come to you again? This is the main challenge with this placement. Learning to trust again. Even if it seems impossibly difficult and painful. Because the true love and intimacy than you crave lies on the other side of hurt and fear. It’s about being brave enough to show yourself again and again. Despite everything. It’s a constant act of courage but also self-trust - you can handle anything life throws your way. I’m sure you’ve proven that to yourself over and over again. At the end of the day, the right people have a way of finding you. Maybe they are already in your life but you’ve not yet given the green light to let them in your personal, intimate world.
Pluto in 2nd house - another very intense placement. It’s all about self-love and self-trust. About proving to yourself that you can contribute, you can manage on your own. And more than anything: you matter. You don’t need to hold onto material things, achievements, titles whatever. You matter simply by the virtue of existing.
People with this placement sometimes attract loss: of money, possessions, people etc. it’s extremely important for them to develop a strong enough emotional core, an endurance in themselves, a knowing that whatever happens in life they will manage to move forward and maybe do more than survive - thrive. But to get there - they need to learn to trust themselves on a very deep, personal level. To literally live their truth not just have a vague notion of it.
Remember: Never, ever lose sight of who you really are. Of what truly matters to you in this life.
Multiple personal planets in 3rd house - it is vital that you learn to communicate well! If you don’t, you might feel stuck for the rest of your life. It is not always easy, I’m aware. We face so many challenges in life and all of different nature. Some of which maybe only us can truly understand. Make your job many times easier by becoming an intelligent, empathetic and skilled communicator. Through our words, we don’t just convey ideas and our feelings but we put energy into motion. We let go of what was long stuck inside of us, begging for a release. Or sometimes we find solutions to our own dilemmas by exchanging energy with another person that has perhaps surprised us with him/her interesting worldview, catalysing a change inside of us. Words carry energy. And by putting the right kind of energy into motion, we can accomplish absolutely incredible things. So start today. Be more mindful about the way you talk to people. Take little steps and you’ll slowly improve. I promise you.
Moon in 10th house - you only feel lovable if you work. If you constantly contribute. You are all about being self-sufficient. You are definitely not the type to have dramatic emotional expressions in public. Or of any kind really. You like keeping to yourself most of the time. You are charismatic, hard-working and have an authoritative air to you. Your very self-worth is tied to how well you do in your career. Any kind of criticism in this domain can seem devastating. As your lover you’d likely choose somebody from your workplace - a colleague, boss, assistant etc.
My suggestion with this placement is to find yourself some kind of hobby outside of your work. And to not overwork yourself. Tying yourself to one specific thing so tightly can at times be toxic and other times very limiting. Broaden your area of interests and start seriously practicing a sport or some kind of hobby. Meditation could do wonders for you - helping you cope with stress or your anxious tendencies.
Moon-Pluto aspects, especially the challenging ones - seriously consider doing shadow work and picking up journaling. They can shine light on so many things and let you see things from a better perspective over time.
Journaling helps these people better understand how they truly feel, to unload their emotional weight and more easily discover what truly matters to them. I like to think of it as - tidying up your mental room.
Mercury conjunction Neptune - this aspect is not talked about nearly enough. It’s a very creative placement. This native likely sees the world in symbols, notices the subtleties, people’s slight shift of energy, things they try to hide etc. there’s a strong channelling of creative energy through music, art, writing or some other type of medium. This native could be rather sensitive to their environment, easy to influence or, on the contrary, they could be aware of their gifts and use them to subtlely influence those around them. If they wanted to, they could make good liars or actors. Neptune, among other things, rules fantasies, imagination, intuition. You can deduce what it means if it falls where Mercury is. However, this placement doesn’t necessarily mean somebody is a liar or manipulator. They could also make wonderful writers, artists, musicians or anybody in the creative arts. They could be very good when it comes to moving people with their words, if they hone their abilities well. What they create will leave a deep impact on those around them. Like there’s a special quality to it.
These people are likely not very good with exact sciences. Especially physics and maths where everything is precise, follows certain formulas and calculations. This native could have a hard time truly grasping mathematical thinking as it differs in great measure to what the native is naturally inclined to think like. Of course, it also depends on what signs and houses the two planets fall under. If it’s a Capricorn/Aquarius or 10th house, perhaps there will in fact be an interest in maths or technology. In which case they could become truly ground-breaking in their field. Combing logical, mathematical thinking with their wild creative, streak. However if it’s in Pisces or 4th/12th house, it could lead to them struggling in school when it comes to maths/physics/chemistry.
Whatever the case, there’s an unconscious desire to bend reality in some way. Make it somehow different, less rigid and more creative/symbolic.
Native could probably do well in domains like literature, philosophy or even psychology as well.
My advice: don’t run away from your problems and try to escape reality by immersing yourselves in your thoughts and fantasies. Be as present as you can and try to develop your logical, practical thinking. It will serve you in the long run.
Aries Mercury - I find these natives very engaging to talk to. They are direct, even blunt and some of them have a wonderful sense of humor. They could be a bit confrontational and definitely don’t appreciate someone being wishy-washy, unnecessarily dramatic or dishonest. In fact they have a rather well-developed lie detector. If they catch you being dishonest with them, good luck trying to get back to their good graces. They might cut you out of their life completely. Their learning style could a a bit disorganised. Sometimes they show little interest while other times they bulldozer their way forward, finishing a week’s amount of work in a day or a few hours. Not to mention they could say some really bold or astounding things at times. They will say their truth even if it ruffles some feathers.
Their anger could be quick and intense but it usually doesn’t last long. They could do some sort of physical exercise as a mean to channel their rage. Perhaps they walk, run, go skating or work out etc.
My advice: understand that not everybody is as forward and no-nonsense like you. Some people need more time to make up their mind. Also, try choosing your words a bit more carefully so you don’t upset the more sensitive people.
Little water element in the chart - native might miss subtle nonverbal cues, shifts in the direction of conversation etc. could be a bit insensitive or self-absorbed but not always. Can probably stay clear-headed and rational more easily. A guarded, somewhat cold person at first glance maybe. Maybe they are oblivious to their own feelings as well or try to fight them.
Advice - it could prove useful to connect with the element of water - go swimming, boating, maybe take a walk along a lake or river. Or purchase a painting where the water element is present.
Write down what you feel in a journal. Talk less and listen, really listen to what people say. Practice being open, empathetic in communication. Open body-language, back straight, don’t cross your arms, look people in the eyes and maybe smile a little. Ask questions about people’s day, how they feel when it’s appropriate. It’s all about small steps.
Little fire element in the chart - problems when it comes to making decisions, standing up for what you believe in or even knowing what your true values are. Native could be easily influenced by others or rather flaky. They could find it hard to assert themselves or be confrontational when needed, preferring a more passive-agresive approach. This can lead to difficulties both at work and in personal relationships. There may be a dislike for physical exercise and/or native could be low-energy and even apathetic.
My advice: define your values and stand by them no matter what. You are the most important person in your life and you have to take care of yourself properly. At the end of the day, it’s yourself that you have to face in the mirror, to bear the weight of your own decisions or what would the lack of them lead to…Also be truthful and direct when talking to people. It’s much better to let people know where they stand with you rather than stringing them along or, on the contrary, letting them use you.
Little air element in the chart - some kind of difficulty with communication or learning. You might find it hard to put your ideas into words, orally or in writing. There could be difficulties in relating to people at times or seeing their point of view. Sometimes you could be viewed as stubborn or rigid. There may be some challenges when it comes to learning. Maybe you were a late bloomer or been told you you are not smart enough. As a consequence, you lost faith in your intellectual abilities. This is one possibility.
There could be challenges in maintaining relationships long term, platonic or romantic. You likely don’t keep in touch that much or mull a lot over words before or after saying them. Your communication could be rather “me-centred” especially if you have strong fire influence in your chart. Overall you are not a wordsmith.
You’re likely a bit private, even mysterious. You don’t waste words or present them in a flashy/slick manner. You believe in actions over words.
Advice: be open to new ideas. Perhaps take up acting or debate classes. Read a lot and try keeping in touch with people more. Try your hand at writing.
Little earth element in the chart - problems with seeing things through, being organised, structured or reliable.
You can start new things but don’t finish them. You could have a hard time controlling your emotions and being dramatic (especially with strong water or fire influence). Or have big dreams/ideas and fail to materialise them (strong air influence). There could be problems with your finances which can fluctuate. You could have problems with keeping jobs or even relationships at times.
You’re likely impulsive, spontaneous, even reckless. You could act first and think second.
You’re likely a fresh and very interesting conversationalist. Open-minded, curious, unbound by rigidity/stuborness. At times you can shake people to their very core with your energy.
Advice: try staying more organised, serious in what you do. Especially when it comes to your work and the important relationships in your life. Being a total mess serves nobody in the long term. Show interest, pay attention to your finances and spend less, save money. Perhaps open a savings account. Also, make sure to look at the fine print when needed. Pay attention to smaller details.
Moon in Libra - there’s a certain charm to these natives that draws people in. They are diplomatic, outgoing, pleasant to talk to; they usually take very good care of themselves and look well-put-together. There’s a little aesthete in them. They might like dressing up, decorating their home. They might be into music or art. They usually get along well with people and have plenty of potential dating options to choose from. They can be choosy or even gossipy at times. They might not always know what they want and can be on the fence even when it comes to important things. Their need for harmony and balance might make them purposefully ignore important issues or turn passive-agresive.
Can be huge idealists in love and it could seem like they’ll never find the right person.
My advice: learn to make decisions and take responsibility for them. Always. Not somebody else is to blame if you are feeling dissatisfied. Some decisions will inevitably turn out to be poor. And that’s fine. You’ll learn from them and then move on. It’s much better than being in decision paralysis or always having somebody take the fall for your bad decisions thus making yourself dependent on them. Also, perhaps try being a touch less critical and more open with other people. Nobody is obliged to become your dream lover/friend. And holding them to impossible standards is unrealistic and will lead to heartbreak, disappointment on both parts. Try truly getting to know people instead of being lost in preconceptions about them.
Venus square Saturn - this native is probably very focused on their career, serious, earnest, responsible and private. Getting to know them on the romantic front could prove difficult as they don’t open up easily and could be perceived as cold or uninterested. They take life seriously not just their work and romantic relationships. They won’t get involved unless they are fully in. May be the type to marry late, only date to marry or date somebody older, maybe their boss. They don’t get into romantic relationships just to have fun, but with a sense of responsibility, wanting it to last for a long time.
These natives could have a hard time forming relationships precisely because of this overly-serious, private outlook. They can be withdrawn or even shy to make the first move. The romantic attention they show to other people could be so subtle (especially with Venus in 12th house), barely anybody notices. There could also be a challenge in balancing their love life and career at times.
Appearance-wise these people tend to age like fine wine. Perhaps they look more attractive in their 40s than they did in their 20s.
Advice: be bolder in your romantic pursuits. Nobody can read your mind. Don’t be shy, take the initiative and open up. Who knows, the right person for you could be closer than you ever expected, awaiting a sign from you.
Sun conjunction Venus - very attractive, diplomatic and charming people. They draw people’s attention without meaning to. They can be very pleasant to talk to them as they seem genuine and authentic. They are highly magnetic and appealing to the opposite sex. Likely have strong interpersonal skills and hightened creativity. They enjoy being known and liked by people. Also dressing nicely and presenting themselves in a favourable manner socially. Could at times be impulsive, superficial, two-faced or vain though.
Advice: remember that appearances don’t mean everything. Sometimes it’s the ugly duckling that has the heart of gold while the most beautiful actress is like potent poison to anybody it touches. Judge people not by their looks but rather by what kind of people they truly are.
Jupiter in 5th house - this person exudes a child-like optimism, passion, creativity, a beautiful zest for life. They likely adore children, animals and nature and feel a powerful connection to them. Strong creative abilities are likely which can be expressed in almost any domain, but especially in the creative fields: cinema, theatre, music, arts etc.
The place Jupiter is in always gets expanded - these people have high chances of getting recognition for their creative qualities. What they produce makes people take a step back and stare in amazement. They can be ground-breaking and leave people astounded with their wild, passionate genius.
The danger lies in the moments they feel weak and lose touch with the fire inside of them. When they can no longer view life with the same curiosity and zest, they can lose themselves for good, giving into melancholy and even depression. It’s very important for them to choose a career that best supports their creative side. Or perhaps a hobby. Taking care of children and animals could prove particularly fulfilling for them, as well. Or being in nature.
They could attract great admiration as well as many romantic interests.
Bruce Lee, Robin Williams and Elon Musk have this Jupiter placement.
Jupiter in 6th house - they are meticulous, hard-working, humble and take very good care of their body. They likely cook for themselves, eat healthy and work out. They could be into alternative ways of healing. They dress in a classy or sporty fashion, in neutral colours, most likely.
They don’t like boasting about themselves or being in the spotlight. Though these people would certainly deserve all the praise. They are super responsible, reliable, patient and overall great human beings to have in your life. They will listen to your problems and offer intelligent and practical solutions.
At times they can get overly-worried about their health, sometimes imagining diseases when there is none. Or going into radical diets. They can also get overly-critical of themselves.
Advice: cut yourself some slack. You deserve love, appreciation and acceptance. Don’t be so perfectionistic and difficult on yourself and make sure to lean back and have fun from time to time.
Jupiter in 8th house - these people exude a magnetic, sexual kind of energy. They are powerful, eye-catching and maybe even a little intimidating. They are not necessarily conventionally beautiful but have a certain type of spark to them which can’t leave you indifferent.
People could literally dream to get into your bed. Strong libido is likely. Many romantic relationships are possible. Unfortunately, these natives could also attract sorrow, loss, betrayal, crisis.
They can go through huge amounts of pain in their life. Perhaps it’s in this exact pain and loss that they find their faith in both themselves and God and a way forward.
My advice: you are a true warrior and your courage and resilience while not deservedly recognised is impressive and a true example of what a human being is capable of when they keep believing themselves and move forward despite all hardships and pain. Never forget how wonderful you are and keep being loving to yourself. You deserve it.
Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson and Joe Biden have this placement.
Jupiter in 9th house - strong intellectual capabilities, and expensive mind, multiple talents. These individuals are quick to learn things and can become real masters at their chosen field. They have multiple interests and make very interesting conversationalists. They prefer teaching instead of being taught. Might not make the best apprentices as they can be quite stubborn and like figuring things out themselves. They can at times turn arrogant and show a know-it-all attitude, refusing to open themselves to more information.
On their best behaviour, they are visionary and quite inspirational.
My advice: keep learning and extending your horizons to reach new heights. You’ve been endowed with astounding intellectual prowess you’d do well to develop to its fullest potential. Never think you know everything and try being more patient, understanding of other people. Not everyone is as quick as you.
Jupiter in 10th house - this is a boss placement. These natives make highly capable and outstanding individuals. They more than excel in their chosen field and are likely invited to positions of authority/power. Even with a Sun in Pisces/Cancer which would make an individual prefer to stay in the shadows typically, the native will not be able to. They command respect and being listened to. They can also be a bit stubborn or arrogant at times and definitely prefer having the upper hand. Quarrels with bosses or other figures of authority are also possible. These natives won’t stay silent or put up with disrespect of any sort. They can be quite direct, maybe even blunt but you can’t argue because they tell the truth. One very few dare to do so. They value efficiency and justice. They could make wise and amazing mentors.
Advice: don’t let anybody, be it at a colleague, boss or even spouse, silence your voice or stifle your message. Speak and live your truth. You will encounter resistance but as with anything worth sharing and fighting for, it’s inevitable. You are here to bring order, justice and wisdom. You have a real potential to make a strong leader and move the world. Be confident but also humble. Don’t let either doubt or arrogance stand in the way of your purpose.
Pluto in 1st house - powerful, intense, memorable. You are a person whose presence can intimidate others perhaps without you realising. You can influence people quite easily and make them listen or follow you. You feel a desire to be in control or have an upper hand. There are two contrasting needs intertwining in you - to be a reliable helper for others and potentially save those who cannot save themselves or desperately need your help and the need to seek your own independent path and live for yourself. Life probably placed huge amounts of responsibility onto you. People seek you out asking for your assistance in various things. You could have many family responsibilities or friends who need you so much so that little time is left for you and your own desires. Or on the contrary, you decided to live only for yourself which means you were able to fulfill some of your desires but were still left feeling empty/alone, longing for real, authentic connection. Ultimately you want strong, genuine, heart-felt connections. Deep down you fear you’ll one day remain alone.
Pluto on you Ascendant also means you’ve been closely acquainted with the darker realities of life. Perhaps you’ve never been a true innocent and always had sort of a pragmatic/more pessimistic outlook to life. Or maybe life had a way of robbing you of your rose-coloured glasses early on. You’ve been trough pain, loss, betrayal, crisis. You’ve built a wall to protect yourself and are very careful in letting others in to your inner world. Much like Pluto in 8th house, this could translate to trust issues, probably due to bad experiences in the past. You value honesty and authenticity greatly and typically give as much as you get. You can’t stand vain, flaky or dishonest people.
My advice: avoid turning manipulative or passive-agresive with people if you are pissed. An 11th or 5th house Pluto may understand however an 8th house Pluto may just decide to blacklist you or cross you out of their emotional space forever. Because they can see through it and might interpret it as an affront to the closeness you once shared. Being honest and forward about your problems is best. Even if your words are rough around the edges. The right people will understand you.
Lilith in Gemini - wounds when it comes to communication, the way you present yourself in public. You might feel inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself or feel awkward or even shame for the way you speak or the ideas you hold. Especially if other placements/aspects support this, perhaps a Saturn in 3rd house or a Saturn retrograde.
You have a restless and inquisitive mind, are quite rebellious and can, more often than not, push people’s buttons. If your Gemini in Lilith’s energy is harnessed well you can be quite witty, charming and intriguing to others. Also intellectually curious and progressive.
My advice: learn to polish you communication skills. Balance your authentic, emotional side with your witty/charming outside persona. Avoid resorting to lies and actually choose to open up to people instead of finding ways to slip away.
Personal observation - the sign of Lilith can also tell you what kind of people we are jealous of. What would such a person embody. With Gemini it would mean you are jealous of talkative, outgoing people who make connections easily. With Lilith in Cancer - you are jealous of nurturing, intuitive, emotional people. This could point to the need to hone those same qualities in yourself.
IC (4th house in Cancer) - IC speaks about your early childhood; about the deepest, most private parts of our heart. Things we don’t truly want to admit to ourselves. With the 4th house in Cancer we feel the need to create our own home. Perhaps in childhood we’ve been deprived of it in some way. Perhaps your parents divorced or there was lots of illness/suffering or conflicts. In your adult life you want to create a warm, safe, nurturing, harmonious household where your family truly feels like going home.
IC (4th house) can also tell us about the people we admire. Cancer IC - we admire nurturing, loyal, warm-hearted, intuitive people. Leo IC - we admire those who are bold, courageous, passionate and decisive.
Moon in Aries - some very interesting people to talk to. They are rather bold but not in an obvious way. And they know what they want and fight for it. They definitely value their independence/autonomy and have mind of their own. They can be fiercely protective of those they care about and do a great deal to make them happy. However these people are far from being pushovers and they work tirelessly to achieve their goals. Just tell them your boyfriend doesn’t want you to join college and you’ll get an hour in-depth conversation about how you must be losing your mind (to put it plainly) to even tolerate such a man in your life. What do you mean you’ll forfeit your own desires for a snotty little man like him? Or for anybody else at all? The best they’d do is have both the career and good boyfriend and at worst, they’d still have the career they want minus the boyfriend. There’s definitely this relentless warrior in them that fights to the end if needed. That’s not to say they are confrontational and blunt at all times. In fact, they can be quite funny and a delight to have around. They can surprise even unconventional people with their ideas and outlook on the world.
Their anger is quick and destructive but doesn’t last long. They could or could not be grudgy, depending on other placements . Typically they aren’t.
My advice: just keep being the cool person you are. I honestly admire you.
Venus in Pisces - ah, the innocent idealists in love. Many of my friends have this placement and let me tell you, finding the right person to date turned out to be quite the ordeal. They either attract toxic people who try to control them and end up heart-broken or refuse to date mostly due to shyness or having unrealistic standards. They are kind, giving and sensitive people who want to find true love. If not the kind you see in movies, then close to it.
These people are into fantasies and romance, even if they refuse to admit it to you. Meaning that if they don’t watch romantic movies, they might spend hours making up fantasies about they way they kiss, hug their crush or marry them. Perhaps both.
Creative abilities are also likely. They could be into music or arts.
If you have this placement it’s very important to remember: never allow yourself to be disrespected or taken advantage of. Stand by your principles and boundaries, always. If somebody repeatedly disrespects you, it’s time to let them go. You know it. Don’t accept becoming anybody’s doormat. You deserve the same love, beauty, kindness and acceptance you give to other people.
Venus in Cancer - these people are attractive in many ways. There’s an emotional, warm but also fierce quality to them. They love their family deeply and can be quite the family man/woman ensuring to provide anything and everything their loved ones would need. In youth, however they could be a little frivolous. That’s not to say they’d just date anyone, of course. But they do have a couple of options available to choose from. Getting truly close to them and winning their heart could prove challenging. But once they have chosen you, expect a whole other level of love to unlock and immerse you. They are truly very warm and giving and have a way of spoiling those they love. They value emotional closeness, safety and authenticity.
Advice - find a way to channel your sensitive energy. Write about it in your journal or immerse yourself in a hobby. Being in nature, taking care of animals or meditation could also prove fulfilling.
Mercury in Virgo - the little analysts. These people will notice absolutely everything and quietly judge you in their mind. If you want somebody to do your accounting, call this people. Even if they work in a completely different field, they might do a flawless job. They are all about creating wonderfully detailed excel sheets with zero mistakes in the calculation of budget expanses. They can do very well in exact sciences, like physics, maths or in technology related fields, especially with some Gemini in the mix. They have strong memory and are type to remember the small print. I wouldn’t recommend crossing them as they can have a rather sharp tongue coupled with intelligent and cutting remarks that don’t miss their target. However it usually takes a long time to get there and they have to be very upset.
This is a teacher placement. They can make great mentors as they have a way of explaining things in simple, very understandable terms. If this is a classmate you’d wish they take the place of your class teacher.
They can be a little know-it-all or cocky at times. They don’t like feeling vulnerable and aren’t necessarily emotionally expressive. They prefer a rational approach in communication.
Advice - be a touch less judgmental of others. People aren’t out to get you. And extending your circle of friends/acquaintances could prove rewarding. Also, speak about your feelings with people you trust. People can’t just take a look inside your heart. Tell them how you feel.
Mars conjunction Ascendant - you have a steady, memorable, even forceful presence. You might get reactions out of people simply by looking at them. You have a strong, beautiful and well-built body. You could be quite energetic or interested in physical exercise.
There can be a sexy air to the way you move and present yourself to others. You are naturally attractive. Depending on the sign, you could be confrontational (Aries, Gemini) or exceedingly stubborn (Taurus) etc. Whatever the case you stick up for yourself and can be quite the warrior at times.
My advice: don’t let people disrespect you or talk you down. You deserve to feel loved and accepted exactly the way you are.
