I finally decided to make the switch from Placidus to Whole Sign house system, and wow so much is clicking into place. I think that sometimes we become so accustomed to looking at our charts a certain way that we press and mush and squeeze ourselves until we fit into the definitions we want, or are used to. But for me, the new inclusion of house rulers into my readings has made a world of difference. Do you have a preferred house system? Which is it and why?

Power and the Pluto instinct

In astrology, there are two planets that could be associated with dominance and aggression. The first is Mars, representing the personal will and assertive functions within a human being. Mars has to do with winning, being the most capable and independent. The Mars force is responsible for personal direction and functions as a boundary between people. Mars is in service of selfhood and the furthering of one’s vision and ideals. Mars represents the ability to lead one’s own life as a separate individual, distinct from the crowd. This planet symbolizes our courage and strength to face life head on. It’s connected to the 1st house of self, the point of emerging from the undifferentiated state and finding that one, in fact, exists.

The other one is Pluto. The will to power does not stem from a need to further the self with this planet, it stems from an acute awareness of life and the death that is tied up with one’s own existence. The emotional impact that certain things in life can have on a person is what Pluto relates to. In the deeper layers of human nature lies a great deal of fear – if one is unable to acquire what one desperately needs, agony follows, and often a blind rage of primitive survival that floods any attempt to deal with things through the higher cerebral faculties. Even though most people don’t need to fight wild animals anymore to ensure survival, the emotional and psychological threats can evoke a similarly drastic response. Often it doesn’t matter if the threat is real or not, if the mind interprets it to be because of prior conditioning, one will respond with intensity.

Pluto and Scorpio dominant individuals usually have a lot of this dynamic present in their lives. They are prone to spot threats to themselves, to feel torn between the desire to survive and to self-destruct because the intensity and hyper-vigilance of living is too much. With death being the certain outcome of life, the struggle to flee from it seems futile. The mind of these people could be preoccupied with the end of life, using it as a source of comfort when life gets too dark or as a source of fear when they feel the terror of losing something precious. The mind is essentially split by fearing and desiring the same thing. It’s locked into a lose-lose scenario of meaninglessness. Life when it’s confused with the body is meaningless, because it is the same as death. The body is beyond one’s control and so life is beyond one’s control. Suffering happens, joy happens but they’re part of each other and consequently completely meaningless. Life seems to be a betrayal, death seems to be a betrayal. Apathy and indifference can spring from this conclusion, making the Plutonic individual capable of doing just about anything because it doesn’t matter to them – or rather, everything matters too much. They can’t avoid this tension. Crime, violence, dominance, betrayal, lies, and sexual appetites are generally things that could be associated with this type of dynamic because they involve pushing the limits. They reflect a death-wish, a desire to go beyond that which is taboo or scary.

If the Pluto and Scorpio dominant individual use their capacities constructively they can uncover the hidden fear in the psyche and see that it is an error in judgement. By confronting the belief system at the root of fear one has the ability to free oneself from weakness. This is what these individuals crave, but they dread that they will be powerless without having anything to protect. By avoiding facing the fear one keeps it intact and alive. It’s really goodness that scares these people because it’s not of their own making – it just is. Perhaps, in the face of severe diversity, these people will be able to wake up and return to their natural state of true power that is not dependent on avoiding powerlessness and protecting themselves against the intensity of emotion.

Pluto and Scorpio are present in everyone’s natal chart, which means that this dynamic is present in everybody’s life more or less. The house that contains Pluto is the sphere where one has an intensity, an ability to go deeper and transform oneself by confronting one’s desperate cries for completeness. As I’ve already stated, this should be an inner process of dissolving fear, not using fear as a fuel for action in the world. Action stemmed from fear becomes meaningless because it doesn’t cure the sadness and the pain of life. It’s hollow, empty and mechanical.

First out we have the American singer Katy Perry. Har natal chart is overwhelmingly scorpionic with with five planets in this sign, including her Ascendant. Pluto is her chart ruler and it sits in Scorpio conjunct her Sun – which amplifies the dynamic even more. With a Scorpio Ascendant the Midheaven (usually) falls in Leo, which indicates a position of authority and creative expression in one’s career and purpose. This is someone who wants to possess power and radiate assertiveness in public. Katy Perry has been listed among the highest earning women in music from 2011-2019 and is one of the world’s best selling musical artists. Money is a powerful tool and Scorpio dominants are usually keen to put themselves in a position of having a lot of it. Katy Perry would like to be a force to reckon with, with her Scorpio Ascendant – Leo Midheaven. Her Sun sits in the 12th house, hidden from view. She would have a personality that is difficult to begin to define, there’s a secrecy and privacy to her radiance, even though she’s a public figure. She likes to go to extremes in her fashion choices and be seen for her dramatic displays yet would probably be careful to reveal too much of her personal life.

The former American heavy weight boxing champion Mike Tyson is another good example of a Pluto/Scorpio dominant. He also has a Scorpio Ascendant and a Leo Midheaven. I imagine that people with this setup is drawn to the spotlight more that other Midheaven placements since Leo is prone to want to display it’s greatness and confidence. Being recognized as ”the best” at something, winning awards and being crowned ”king” in public is the as good as it gets for these individuals. In his chart Pluto is in the 10th, putting the emphasis on emotional intensity in the sphere of his career. Indeed, boxing is not a sport for the faint of heart – it involves confronting one’s fear, or letting one’s fear lose in the form of aggression and violence. Pluto is conjunct Uranus in his chart, adding an element of electricity, suddenness, rebellion, change and unpredictability to his emotional capacity. With the conjunction placed in Virgo he could be likely to wield power through perfecting his skill and tending to his health and physique. The eight house is connected to the Pluto/Scorpio principle and represents the sphere of other people’s values and resources. Tyson has Mars in Gemini in this house – hinting at aggression and violence in the sphere of intimate relationships and emotional connections to others.

Last but not least we have Marquis de Sade (1740-1814), a French nobleman, writer, philosopher and revolutionary. He also has a Scorpio Ascendant with Pluto conjunct on the 12th house side. He’s known for being devoid of moral principles and sexual inhibitions. As it relates to his work he’s best known for his erotic writings which included philosophical discussion, pornography, fantasies of violence, crime and similar topics. He claimed to be in favor of absolute freedom, to be against obligations and moral restraints. For his rape on children, women and men he spent time in prison and in insane asylums, in proper Pluto 12th house fashion. Saturn and Venus is in his 9th house, reflecting his philosophical inclination. He clearly had an issue with morality and the burden he perceived it to inflict on his life, which is reflected by Saturn, the morality planet in opposition to Uranus, the rebel planet. His indulgent hedonistic tendencies fits with Sun conjunct Jupiter. He was raised by servants who adhered his every whim, since his father had abandoned the family and his mother had joined a convent. He grew up to become rebellious and spoiled child with a temper. His Mars in Aries square Saturn and Venus certainly confirms this.

Retrograde Planets in the Natal Chart

There seems to be some confusion about retrograde planets going along the internet. If you were to average out all the posts describing what happens to an Rx (retrograde) planet, it would likely read something like this:

“Retrograde planets appear to be moving backwards through the sky from the perspective of earth which gives them special properties. The planet’s energy is turned inwards and things that planet rules tend to go haywire, so here are some tips for surviving a retrograde and the shadow period before it:

1)      Take some time and reflect on what that planet means. Retrogrades are time for reflection.

2)      Expect things to go wrong, even things that planet may or may not rule. Retrogrades are just kinda hectic, so wait till everything is direct to move forward.

3)      Don’t do anything that involves that planet. At all. ESPECIALLY if it’s Mercury retrograde.

4)      Hide in a bunker under the ground. Wait for all the planets to go direct. It’s just safer that way, ok?

Retrogrades in the natal chart may have a very muted expression because their energy is turned inwards. Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean your doomed, but you’ll just have a LOT of extra difficulty and awkwardness as a result of your retrograde planet because other people won’t get your weird way of doing that planet’s action. On the bright side, though, sometimes these retrogrades can actually bring special talents because the planets motion is turned inwards so it’s like doing a lesson over again.”

It is true, a retrograde planet CAN cause some hiccups when they are transiting, but descriptions like this stigmatize people who natally have retrograde planets. Are they doomed to never be able to use that planet’s energy because it’s “turned inwards”? What does it even mean for a planet’s energy to be “turned inward”? Why are these planets “awkward”? And what exactly are the “special talents” retrograde planets give the native? Those are questions the questions that really need to be answered.

When astrologers describe a planets energy as being turned inwards, what they are trying to get across is a slightly more complex idea in simpler language and that idea is this: Retrograde planets, karmically speaking, are places where we subconsciously know the consequences of using that planet’s energy. All of our actions have consequences both good and bad whether we realize it or not. People with a planet retrograde are likely to have an uneasy feeling about using their retrograde planet’s energy because they can feel the consequences. This doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences from acting with a direct planet, but when we do that, we often aren’t conscious of what could go wrong.

For example, a person with a Mercury Rx will tend to think twice before saying anything or may opt not to say anything at all because they are painfully conscious of the weight their words carry. This can lead them to being labeled as “awkward” in the way they communicate. In transit form, this often looks like communication chaos, but in reality, Mercury Rx is trying to remind us to slow down and think twice about what we say, both verbally and nonverbally, because even small acts of communication can have a big impact on our lives and the lives of others.

How can retrograde planets be hidden talents, you may ask? Well, karmically, people tend to learn through trial and error. They do something, they learn the consequences either good or bad from what they can see. They watch the effects of their actions. That being the case, people with retrograde planets can tap into their planet for a ridiculous amount of talent, but they also tend to be very aware of the cost of doing so and will not do it unless they have a very, very good reason. Again, using Mercury as an example, somebody with a Mercury in retrograde likely knows EXACTLY how to communicate what they’re feeling, they just choose not to because they don’t want to hurt the other person’s feelings. Saying how they feel could result in a lot of emotional fallout, so while they have the talent to really get their point across when provoked, they’re often sorry later if they do.

Hopefully that helps explain the formula for how interpretations for retrograde planets are created. Here are some of my personal interpretations for each planet retrograde when in the natal chart, but if you have anything to add or ask please do so in the comments below.

*Note: These interpretations are single-planet, meaning other aspects and planets in the natal chart can change the expression. These are meant to be combined with the rest of the natal chart.

Mercury Rx: Natives with this placement often get a reputation for being quiet, not having a lot to say, or not being able to get their point across. The truth is, they often know exactly what they want to say but are more aware of the consequences of speaking their mind and would rather stay quiet than deal with that. They also tend to process information more thoroughly than people with direct Mercury placements do because they know the consequences of spreading false information or assuming something is correct right away.

Mars Rx: Natives with this placement may be labeled as weak willed or apathetic since they tend not to be self-starters or have much drive to compete. Often times, the gentle placement of Mars Rx simple doesn’t like the collateral damage of competition. While people with a Mars direct may enjoy activities that require competing, Mars Rx knows that for as high as the winner gets, the loser gets equally low. This may lead them to forgo participation in anything they must do alone, so they may get run over by more competitive types. The upside is they’re generally pretty good at waiting and are very patient people although their lack of a rush can frustrated more ambitious people. While they can be exceptional competitors under the right circumstances, you’re unlikely to find Mars Rx using that ability.

Venus Rx: Natives with this placement tend to shy away from the material side of life. As a result, they often get labeled as having poor financial management and eating disorders when in reality, they tend to not need a lot of physical objects to be happy. It’s not that they don’t like stuff, they are just aware of how it can complicate things. The stereotype about being unloving is absolutely not true, as Venus Rx can know a love beyond what physical needs dictates, but they often question WHY someone loves them and for what reasons. They can get whatever it is that they want or need, but typically that isn’t much because that’s all they want, not because that’s all they can get in whatever house Venus is in. They don’t want to deal with the burning questions of why they do something if material investments are involved, so they keep it simple.

Ceres Rx: Natives with this placement may lead hectic, disorganized lives because frankly, they know how boring a routine can be. People with Ceres Rx are completely capable of running a tight ship but would prefer to let things be loose. They likely frustrate those around them with their apparent lack of discipline and routine, but if they absolutely have to they know how to get themselves back on track just in time to go back to a messy, surprise-oriented way of living.

Juno Rx: Natives with this placement may avoid partnerships and seem to be very “independent” instead. These lone wolves, however, are just trying to avoid dependence on somebody. It’s not that they can’t have partners, it’s just that they often don’t because they don’t want to use another person to compensate for what they can’t do; they want to be able to do it themselves! Juno Rx people typically won’t settle down until they can be for themselves what they want in a partner. This can lead to their partner feeling useless since Juno Rx tend to have a “If I want it done right I’ll do it myself” mentality but they can and do depend on partners once they’re satisfied with their own capabilities.

Jupiter Rx: Natives with this placement may avoid questioning things too deeply or be uneasy about learning too much about topics like politics and religion. These people often have the ability to pull off miracles of luck in their given houses, going much further than their Jupiter direct counterparts but they tend not to because they’re aware of how bad the crash from going too high is. As a result, Jupiter Rx natives tend to be more low key and avoid situations where they learn too much too fast. People may think of them as ignorant or as “killing the vibe” but it’s because Jupiter Rx knows subconsciously about the come down of a good time all too well.

Saturn Rx: Natives with this placement often have a lack of outside structure and as a result get very, very good at structuring themselves. Often, these people are disillusioned with the true cost of achievement and may choose to live life as free spirits rather than submitting to “the system”. Saturn Rx can work remarkably hard and know all the steps that go into making something big happen, but because they can see all the steps and work ahead of time, they tend to abstain. People with Saturn direct may think of them as downers but that’s just because Saturn Rx people know the grim reality of ambition.

Uranus Rx: Natives with this placement are often labeled as old fashioned or unable to keep up with the times because they’re not excited by new ways of doing things and technology. Uranus Rx, however, is very aware that anything that claims to solve a problem is likely to just create another in its place, even if it isn’t obvious. These people may find comfort in tradition because at least then they know what the consequences of the actions that have been tested over generations are and they don’t have to deal with figuring out new solutions to the new problems.

Neptune Rx: Natives with this placement are often labeled as grim and being downers when they feel they’re just being the voice of reason. Neptune Rx knows subconsciously the consequences of getting one’s hopes too high and they know that life is rarely as magical as we build it up to be. While these people may seem to move through life without a sense of wonder since they keep their expectations low, it’s because they don’t want to ruin a truly beautiful moment by making it more than it is in their head.

Pluto Rx: Natives with this placement are often labeled as “chill”, or more frequently, unpassionate. People with a Pluto Rx are usually pretty good at letting things go, especially in their house/sign that Pluto Rx is in, because they know the consequences of obsessing over something. They generally avoid pain because although they are very capable of gritting through rough situations when they need to, they don’t like how those types of experiences shape people. Pluto direct people are more likely to accredit their strength to a hard event they overcame while Pluto Rx people are more likely to wish such events never happened. Inside, they know they have the strength to survive hardship so the appeal of proving that they can isn’t readily present. While they may seem to lack a bond that drives them, they’re quite happy living life in its more gentle manifestations.

Retrograde Asteroids in a Birth Chart

Asteroids in retrograde, just as with planets, symbolize Karma that needs to be worked on for a person in this lifetime.  The nature of Retrograde shows the internalization of the traits of the Asteroids.  This can be done so the person learns to deal with the nature of the asteroid that they struggled with a prior incarnation.

Retrograde asteroids can have an impact on the a person the same way Retrograde planets have.   This can result in varied effects on the expression of the asteroids nature for a person.  Sometimes i can help the person be more aware of the asteroids presence and effects, sometimes it can hinder them. The deepest impact felt by asteroids in retrograde come from the asteroids of Chiron, Juno, Vesta, Ceres, and Pallas.

Chiron Retrograde

As with all retrograde occurrences the Chiron’s nature is more internalized into the consciousness.   In this life the wounding occurring from Chiron is attaching deeper into the conscious level making the wounding more apparent. Chiron in Retrograde can create a scenario where a wounding during the life is so deep the person is always conscious is always aware of it.  The individual most likely will have troubles moving forward from the pain they received causing psychological troubles..

Sun Square Pluto: Dances With Death

Those individuals with the Sun Square Pluto in their natal chart have a very specific energy, no matter the signs each of those planets dwells in. Squares by nature are a hard angle, reflecting through the individual’s personality as a difficulty or fixation that crops up over and over in their lives, typically without the person’s full conscious knowledge. In this particular aspect, the Sun, our egoic self, interacts and clashes directly with Pluto, the God of the Underworld. This is the essence of light and darkness, poised against one another in an epic battle. It may sound dramatic, but for the native with this aspect in their chart, it is quite an every day thing.

These individuals are possessed with a passionate outlook on the world. They don’t do anything half-hearted. They feel intensely, and they may form attachments with others, based on little else than a thought that exists in their mind. Despite these marked feelings and intrigue, they often let little on about their true self. They hide in shadow, or in altered light. Their inner worlds are magnificent, lush paradises, and yet they keep these things inside most of the time or only reveal small portions of the whole picture at any given time. This stems from their continuing fear, the fear of being vulnerable, and that the darkness inside of them might constitute them as ‘defective’.

Everything about those with this aspect is marked by death. I don’t mean that to be so morbid, and I am not saying they are destined for an early or gruesome death. I mean instead that the cycle of birth and death emanates from them. In everything they do, there is creation and destruction. Their entire world view reflects this, as do the projects they take on, the beliefs they hold, and the way they change their persona seemingly overnight. They destroy what they create, and then they repeat.

In here lies the conflict: to accept this is to turn their life into channeled, powerful energy that gives them the ability to work with both the Sun and Pluto’s vibrations, to unite light and dark and create this ebb and flow quite naturally in their lives… but to reject it or fight it will only make Pluto’s hold stronger, and will result in inner struggle and outer situations which reflect the person’s inscape. So to see the light, they must embrace the darkness, and learn to wield both equally. This combination lends itself to beautiful creative potential, if only the native can walk this balance and let go of their fear of vulnerability.

Natal Saturn through the Houses🪐

Saturn in the 1st: These people can have a similar vibe to Capricorn Ascendants, as they can come off as cold and detached. They feel their best when they’re working hard and don’t stop till they reach their goals. Ambition usually comes from insecurity/a feeling of lack of importance that they felt as a child. Should be easier on themselves.

Saturn in the 2nd: Natives of this placement are very focused on making sure they are financially stable. Unfortunately, people with this placement sometimes have to work extra hard to achieve this stability. However, these people need to realize that it’s okay to stop and enjoy all the things they’ve created for themselves, and there’s no need to be in constant worry about their finances.

Saturn in the 3rd: Can look more in depth into ideas and situations. They are often very precise and great organizers. Information they take in is very closely examined before taken as fact or forming an opinion. It’s very difficult for these people to open up and communicate with others. They shouldn’t be so insecure about their knowledge, thoughts, and views.

Saturn in the 4th: These people are the most comfortable sticking to their traditions or what they know. They can have a hard time trying new things because there’s a fear of having something they don’t know disrupt their lives. These people are the most dependable to their loved ones and place great importance on their home and security.

Saturn in the 5th: Natives of this placement are very serious when it comes to love. Can often have a hard time opening up and letting go, not just in relationships but in creative endeavors as well. These people often feel like they’re not good enough for their loved ones, but need to understand they’re deeply appreciated. These people love like no other.

Saturn in the 6th: Tendency to over work. These people need to be very aware of their health, or they will face many setbacks. They often end up in the middle of unlucky situations in the workplace. Could have a shitty boss or rude coworkers. Need to learn that it’s okay to relax, and they don’t have to always say yes to other people.

Saturn in the 7th: Craves the emotional security that comes with a serious love connection/marriage. These people are very careful with who they get into a relationship with. They truly commit to their partner, sometimes even staying in a relationship that doesn’t make them happy anymore. Very common for these people to attract someone older/more mature.

Saturn in the 8th: Incredibly patient and disciplined, natives of this placement often plan on making a lot of money in their career. These people have great willpower, however the downfall here is that they can be deeply hurt by people’s words and actions. If they are not careful, they can become dependent on the negative behaviors that lie within the eighth house, such as manipulation, abuse, and a need for power.

Saturn in the 9th: Take their philosophical/religious beliefs very seriously. Usually very hard to convince these people of anything that they don’t already believe. Probably kept the same beliefs that they were taught as a child. Though these people can be really stubborn about these matters, they are often very well educated and know their facts. Should learn to be more understanding of others.

Saturn in the 10th: Very reliable and definitely the independent types. Their business and organization skills only aid them in achieving their goals. Often very resilient since they face many setbacks when climbing to the top. These people should understand that it’s okay to make mistakes, it doesn’t mean that they’re a failure and they don’t always have to be right.

Saturn in the 11th: Many acquaintances but very few close friends. Friendships are usually really old and end up lasting a lifetime. Natives of this placement like to surround themselves with those who have a sense of purpose in life. These people are to learn patience in achieving their goals, and work on being able to admit their wrongs when appropriate.

Saturn in the 12th: May frequently doubt themselves and what they’re capable of. These people tend to choose a career that allows them to not interact with the public. These people are stronger than they know, and should really give themselves more credit. Should know that if they’re not happy, they don’t have to pretend to be for everyone else.

My tropical astrology chart says I’m leo/Aries/Scorpio. Sidereal says cancer/Pisces/scorpio. In a Placidus house system I have an 8th house sun and an 11th house Pluto. In equal house system my sun is in 10 and my Pluto in 1. Among other things. How the heck do I know what to follow?

Basic Horary Astrology

Introduction

What is Horary Astrology? Horary Astrology is the ancient branch of astrology that tries to answer questions. It does this by using the time of birth of a question to create a chart. This s the time the question was first exactly heard and understood by the astrologer. 

How to ask a Horary question

Some common topics for Horary questions are “When will I meet my next love?” “Will I be rich or poor?” “Will I get the job?” or even “Am I cursed?” In order to ask a Horary question you have t formulate it as a sentence. For example “Will I be rich?” You may add onto this with something like “Will I be rich and if so when?” But you cannot add in unrelated extra questions such as “Will I be rich and will I get the job?” Those must be asked as separate questions. It’s best to ask whichever question is most pressing to you first, then wait at least a few days before asking another. You also cannot ask any questions that assume a positive or negative answer. Thus questions such as “How do I get _____ to date me?” or “When will I get fired?” won’t work. This is because horary astrology is to tell you if there is going to be a positive answer or not, it isn’t to tell you how to get the outcome you want. Also, you must always ask the root question. So rather than “When will ____ contact me?” but you actually just want to know if that will happen so that there is more of a likelihood or a relationship, instead ask the root question of  “Will I end up in a relationship with _____?” It is also best to ask the questions (formulate the sentence and thus establish the time it was formulated) when you feel the most concerned by or desiring of the answer to the question. It is also the “received” time that is used for the question. This being the time the astrologer received the written sentence.

Analyzing the horary chart

First, it would be best to know where the subject of the question is represented in the chart. So you look at these houses/planets if the subject is…

1st house: You, yourself 2nd house: An object, like your lost keys 3rd house: sibling or neighbor 4th house: Your mother 5th house: your child 6th house: your boss, your pet 7th house: boyfriend/girlfriend, enemy, ex Sun: men in the prime of their lives (late 20s-early 40s), husbands Saturn: older people, father figures, authority figures Moon: women, wives, younger people Venus: girlfriends, partners Mars: boyfriends, sexual partners

Secondly, try to keep your Horary readings more simple than Natal readings. For the most part what you’ll need in Horary readings are:

The 1st house ruling planet

The planet ruling the house of the subject of the question

The Moon

When it comes to aspects to these points, don’t let their be interference. “Don’t read a chart as: ‘First the Moon conjuncts Mars and then it sextiles Jupiter and then it squares Saturn and then it trines my planet!’. The answer will usually stop at Mars.” It is also important to know if a planet is moving towards (applying) an aspect or moving away (separating) from an aspect. Hardly ever is there an exact aspect. 

No aspect between planets = no relationship Separating aspect = end to something  Applying aspect = something is moving together

It’s all really symbolic tbh. Such as in a relationship question if the planet that signifies the subject of the question is in conjunction with Venus it means they are already with someone. Unless you or the subject is represented by Venus, of course. 

The Moon is often thought of as a ‘co-significator’ for the person asking the question, and the Moon can also be thought of as what drives the chart. “What is the Moon doing? What house is she in? Is she in a strong house (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th)? […] Is she applying to one of the significators, or to an important angle? Is she separating from a significator? Is she Void of Course?” Void of course could be signaling that there isn’t much drive in the chart at the moment, the moon is most effective when it is applying an aspect. 

Thirdly, don’t forget about context. People may easily believe that a square means “no” and a trine means “yes.” “You must understand the context of the question, and the reason they asked the question in the first place. A square can still mean a ‘yes’ if the planets are friendly to one another and are applying: this might mean ‘yes, but you’ll have to work hard for it’. Likewise, an applying trine in a question of divorce might mean that they won’t get divorced, but will reconcile instead.” 

Timing 

If planet is in cardinal sign Angular houses that is days/hours Succedant houses that is weeks/days  Cadent houses that is months/weeks Mutable sign Angular houses that is weeks/days Succedant houses that months/weeks Cadent houses that is years/months fixed sign Angular houses that is months/weeks Succedant houses that is years/months Cadent houses that is time unknown/years

libra and taurus risings can often spark strong reactions from others. both put on a mask of societal perfection, which can result in either adoration or jealousy. the strong reactions can come due to the fact that libra risings have an aries descendant while taurus risings have a scorpio descendant. both descendants are ruled by mars. there’s passionate, but volatile reactions.

Lunar eclipse in cancer! 🙈🌕💧

This full moon occurs on 1/10/2020 at 12:21pm MST at 20 degrees Cancer. This moon is what we have been feeling and building towards. All the tension and waves have accumulated to this. There is a Sun/Mercury/Saturn/Pluto conjunct occuring opposite to the Cancer full moon. How on earth do we balance these emotions that are seeping up!? They are trying to find their way against the strong Capricorn energy. How do we nurture what we think we need to protect but actually need to let go? How to allow ourselves to feel and also find stability. Letting ourselves go vs holding on. This moon makes me think of the sentiment- that time is most valuable currency. We cannot take back time or add more time. And in this time, we also cannot hold back what must be felt. Honestly this moon is a turning point, it may or may not be blunt for you but it isn’t typical. It carries a weight that will tip the scale. Allow yourself to feel and care for your self and not be turned away from systemic oppression. The heart has to be heard. Ultimately we are all in this together. 💙

We had quite the karmic shift today with the lunar eclipse. Feeling tired or drained isn’t abnormal. It has been a emotional build up the last 2 weeks up until today. New perspectives will start to come to the surface. Did you feel a release?

Saturn and Pluto conjunct

Saturn and Pluto will form a conjunct on January 12th 2020 at 22 degrees Capricorn. They are within 3 degrees of each other currently, the energy will slowly build between now and January. This is a major transit as it only happens about every 30 years. Pluto in transit shows where our souls transform and Saturn shows where we feel restricted and focused. So that combination forces to show a vulnerability in Saturn’s structure. Saturn combines with the planet of major and deep transformation, an established way of doing things must come to a end in order to be born stronger. Being such a major transit felt over the course of about 10 months, this will be felt on a grand scale. Check your house where Capricorn 22 degrees falls to see how it will play out in your chart.
