astrology observations 🌌

☆ ♄ saturn in water houses [4H, 8H, 12H] tends to make the native either very good at disciplining their emotions or makes it hard to contain them. nonetheless, that house is subject to saturn because it resides there.

☆ ♄ saturn ℞ conjunct ☌ moon indicates that the native is very introspective and reflective. saturn’s expression is internal rather than external because of the ℞ motion. its extremely hard for these natives to express their emotions and may turn to substances. ☌ 0° = oneness. orb of 1-10°. closer the orb, the more potent.

☆ ☉ sun exalts in aries ♈︎ because it takes bravery, courage, and vitality to shine. sun resides here like a beloved guest, because aries is the first fire cardinal sign, it indicates a very energetic and courageous native. be wary about burning yourself here, as sun in aries can also be very naive, impulsive, and prideful.

☆ ☉ sun falls in libra ♎︎ because libra is the first air cardinal sign which brings autumn/[fall], giving the sun less time to shine throughout the day. sun likes to express its light; its truth and essence. in libra, the sun’s energies hasn’t disappeared but more effort is required to activate them. listen to yourself, not others.

☆ ☿ mercury in aquarius ♒︎ can indicate a very active and intelligent mind. collective thoughts, introspective thoughts, revolutionary and very quick-minded. aquarius is ruled by saturn [uranus modern] and although its very eccentric, its also disciplined, or lacks it. these natives need/love mental stimulation and human connections.

☆ ♀venus in scorpio ♏︎ indicates a native who expresses their love through intimacy, trust, and vulnerability. scorpio is ruled by mars [pluto modern] which makes scorpio fight for their life in a very intense way, and being a feminine sign, its intuitive and reflective. venus is in detriment here, she feels exiled, as her ruler is opposite scorpio, where she has all the resources she requires to feel safe and secure.

☆ ♀venus sextile ✶/ trine △ mars ♂ indicates a benefic communication between the two, giving the native a very strong vitality and attractive demeanor. they know what they want, and have no problem attaining it. △ 120° = harmony and ✶ 60° = opportunity.

☆ ☉ sun sextile ✶ pluto ♇ indicates a native who is not afraid of transformation, they crave it. sun illuminates truth, and pluto is lord of the underworld, the ✶ creates an opportunity for sun to work with pluto for greater good. these natives are transformational, constantly shedding their skin, born anew. death is nothing but a new beginning.

such a great analyzation.

speaking of semisquares, i have a scorpio venus 3° 12H semisquare sagittarius pluto 17° 1H. they couldve been that sextile and helped each other but now they are disagreeing.

my venus is asking my pluto why people betray my trust and lie to me while my pluto is asking my venus why i choose to spend my energy on people who do not deserve me.

pluto in my 1H enables my venus to such extreme levels which costs me my sanity, truly. but it has taught me so much and has changed my worldview, hence the constant deaths and rebirths between the relationships i create.

im grateful to have my libra sun 19° 11H sextile my sag pluto 17° 1H for granting me the deeper hidden wisdom within me and allowing me to learn and grow with it. i love sextiles, especially the libra x sag one

who else has critical minor aspects in their charts which are much more mysterious and alluring than major aspects ? lol feel free to share, id love to hear your experiences.

hi love, i have a sun semi square pluto aspect in my chart in a tight-ish orb. i was wondering how i could interpret that aspect? would it be ok if i just went about using the write ups given for sun SQUARE pluto? or like a milder version of that? i do relate to sun square pluto a lot, just not as intensely, i think.

yeah I would say so… but to compare a semisquare versus a square…

a square has tension because two planets in the same mode (fixed, cardinal, mutable), it’s like each planet is so sure of itself, arguing with the other planet, and that tension will either propel you to get things done and become a dynamic energy, or will give you insecurities that can become psychological complexes.

a semisquare is more like two adjacent signs (say for example you have pluto at 25 Scorpio and Sun at 10 Libra) feel this tension about how we don’t quite “get” each other. Your Pluto asks why your sun only looks at the surface, why you accept people who might not be so great, why do you avoid understanding your darker side and doing your shadow work to purge your personality flaws? Your sun asks your Pluto why do you wallow in the darkness, why don’t you meet more people and learn from their perspectives, why don’t you consider what’s best for everyone instead of always protecting yourself?

You can create a dialogue between your signs to contemplate what goes on in your psyche.

A semisquare could also be signs that aren’t adjacent, for example maybe you have Pluto at 5 Sagittarius and Sun at 20 Libra, so if that’s the case, they woulda been sextile 15 days before you were born, but the harmony has faded and now they’re disagreeing with each other.

I have Venus 21 Sagittarius semisquare Saturn at 7 Aquarius. Rationalize versus act on passion!

thank you for asking! anyone can reblog this and share your stories about any semisquares in your natal chart, progressed chart, or transits.

my taurus north node conjunct moon: :3

♉︎☊☌☽

♉️ Taurus's approach to relationships is characterized by a deliberate and measured pace. They don't rush into bonds lightly; instead, they take their time to build trust, understanding, and shared experiences. This approach allows them to forge connections that are grounded in mutual respect and a profound emotional foundation. When a Taurus decides to form a connection, be it with a partner, family member, or friend, it's marked by a deep sense of purpose and meaning. They invest themselves fully in these relationships, seeking to create a haven of stability and security for themselves and their loved ones.

hello could you explain what does it mean when a planet is affiliated and how can you tell if a planet is affiliated or not?

hi there! yes! a planet affiliation is one of the rulership conditions that are based on the hour of your birth. this is also called your planetary hour. this could be different for everyone as they are all born under different hours of different days.

sunday monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday

domingo lunes martes miércoles jueves viernes sabado

☉-☽-♂- ☿- ♃ -♀- ♄

in that chronological order creates a septagram which is how the days of the week were chosen.

for example someone born at 12:25 pm on a sunday would have been born under jupiter hour which ended at 12:30 pm. and someone born at 12:25 pm on a tuesday would have a different planetary hour, but this is gives a certain attribution to your ascendant based on your time of birth.

i suggest downloading time nomad or using an online planetary hour calculator to see what your planetary affiliations are! hope this helped <3

the moon in ancient astrology

the word i have for the moon is the mirror, a reflection. it is said that "the world is the mirror of the soul," the soul in astrology is the sun and the moon is the body, the mind (inherited from your mother), your family, your community, all other human beings, and all matter. the part of fortune is calculated using the sun and the moon because alchemists believed that happiness is attained when the duality of the world, it's oppositions, were brought to harmony. if the sun is your individuality, the moon is your ability to mirror the individuality of others. it describes your family upbringing because it is what the world required of you to survive. the moon is your carnal body. you had to take on a body in order to exist in this world. you had to take on a certain way of relating with other people in order to exist within your tribe. friendships develop from knowing how to mirror the other person's light and not just radiate your own. the moon is developed from this need to belong. and belonging requires receptivity or the ability to make room for other people in yourself. studies show that simply wearing the same color bracelet as another person, or copying their gestures, mirroring them in a sense, is a way to make them unconsciously feel more open to you. in traditional astrology a person with strong lunar influence loves to travel, is restless, is pleasure seeking (there's a stereotype that lunar people love to cook, and food is often where families and communities gather around; eating is also very carnal and associated with the body and thus the moon) and always seeking change and is tapped into trends. in my opinion this only speaks to the receptivity of the moon. it's constantly seeking new lights to absorb and reflect out. the issue comes when the sun and moon in your chart aren't naturally in harmony with one another. the moon may feel like an inauthentic expression of you, but it represents the bridge between heaven and earth in ancient astrology, it is your way of carrying out your own divine blueprint represented by the 5 planets + your sun. it's the closest to the earth. so while it carries a lot of your conditioning and a lot of inauthentic expressions of yourself, it's also the only means through which you can express yourself authentically. your sun sign is only as good as it's able to express itself through the moon. people didn't normally identify with their sun signs in ancient times, they identified with their rising which shares a lot of significations with the moon (body, family/upbringing, appearance, talent/skills, head/mind). the sun in older astrologies represented what you naturally wanted to be, your most noble expression, not who you are. but i believe it is also who you are. it's your noblest expression and your truth which is what makes you happy but it needs to channel itself through the moon sign which is your ability to reflect others. "the primary characteristic of life is the ability to reproduce itself and beget its own likeness" (demetra george) the sun being the life force or 'vital spirit' is creative in that it wants to recreate it's soul through a form of expression. the moon which doesn't have its own light is reflective, which is how it differs from the sun.

Minor Aspects

Please do not repost, redistribute or plagiarise my content. Thank you.

Having minor aspects does not mean minor influence on your life. Its effects are less potent than major aspects and are more mysterious in nature, however they are very much like the backdrop of your life and function in the background. When you see repeated patterns, habits, occurrences happening throughout your life, it very well could be minor aspects’ influence, so much so that you do not need to think about them or acknowledge them. They could be things that pop up occasionally that irritate you (literally a mosquito just bit me as I said this njkNVSJKDVN), or lessons and reminders that you have learnt early on and kind of keep you in check. There are about 8-9 minor aspects that are commonly known and used in many astrology chart sites, but about 5 are very rarely used and I’ll briefly mention them here for anyone that’s curious (I am. I am very curious because I see NO meanings for them online.). These aspects are all very mysterious in nature, so take what resonates and have fun getting to know your chart!

The Quincunx/Inconjunct

This aspect is reputed to be one of the MOST important minor aspects besides the Quintile/Bi-Quintile, because not only can it be a recurring noticeable influence, but if you have 2 planets/angles sextile each other and 2 inconjunctions with a third planet/angle, you get a Yod. Yods are one powerful aspect shape in your chart, known as the ‘finger of god’ and can point to you what your karmic challenge is in this life. But focusing on the Quincunx, this aspect makes a 150° angle and has an orb of up to 3 degrees. I personally think it’s most noticeable at 0-2 degrees for the planets/angles, and up to 3 degrees for the sun and moon if they are involved. The Quincunx is normally known to be a hard aspect, because the planets are often sitting in signs that have no correlation to each other at first glance, neither element nor mode. This produces confusion and loss between the planets as they have nothing in common at first, but the power this aspect brings is the potential grasp of a broad set of skills to a common goal. The potential problems this aspect causes is choosing one sign over the other, choosing to ignore growth and integration of the signs/planets, and constantly having one part of your life at an imbalance.

The advice here is to accept all parts of yourself, to learn how to balance conflicting skills and energy and merge them in order to create a unique set of skills to you that you can operate in your life. Yods are known to be obstacles but can also create new pathways and options for you should you choose to accept and learn from it, and Quincunxes operate in a similar manner.

Aries: Quincunx Virgo and Scorpio. Common theme here is focus.

Taurus: Quincunx Libra and Sagittarius. Common theme here is appreciation for life.

Gemini: Quincunx Scorpio and Capricorn. Common theme here is depth (of perception, etc.).

Cancer: Quincunx Sagittarius and Aquarius. Common theme here is empathy.

Leo: Quincunx Capricorn and Pisces. Common theme here is going after ambitions/dreams.

Virgo: Quincunx Aquarius and Aries. Common theme here is innovation.

Libra: Quincunx Pisces and Taurus. Common theme here is seeking harmony.

Scorpio: Quincunx Aries and Gemini. Common theme here is seeking truth.

Sagittarius: Quincunx Taurus and Cancer. Common theme here is generosity/big-heartedness.

Capricorn: Quincunx Gemini and Leo. Common theme here is shrewdness.

Aquarius: Quincunx Cancer and Virgo. Common theme here is finding a niche.

Pisces: Quincunx Leo and Libra. Common theme here is creation.

If you think about it they’re more alike than they seem. The themes are there to help with integration, but if you understand them in another way, and it helps you, feel free to use that. There are more in-depth posts about yods and quincunxes, I can link one here by @/lilmajorshawty.

Example #1: I’ve got a friend who has aqua uranus in the 4H quincunx cancer north node in the 9H, and what that basically meant was her unsteady home life was at odds with the direction she was supposed to take in this life. She felt as if her foundation and comfort zone is still quite erratic and unsafe, which led her to believe that focusing and nurturing herself and others in the direction of spirituality, higher knowledge, travel and education may not be wise. However, she does have a talent and interest in spirituality, and when she focuses on it she can neglect her inner creativity and brilliance at times and may be more unsure of herself. Because these planets/points are in confusion, her way of integrating is through self-improvement and listening to her gut instincts (related to 4H Uranus themes) while growing towards spirituality, and learning to accept her difference she makes in the community. She’s also learning to nurture her innate creativity while balancing her home life and her love for cultures and travel, hence there’s a lot of juggling and acceptance involved when confronting this minor aspect.

The Sesquiquadrate

This aspect is the rebel of the minor aspects. Also known as the sesquisquare, it makes a 135° angle and has an orb of 2-3 degrees. Similar to the Quincunx, I personally think it’s the most noticeable with an orb of 0-2 degrees for planets/angles, and up to a 3 degree orb for the sun and moon. This minor aspect not only produces friction, but it can cause uncontrolled release of the planets/signs involved when you do not notice it. Think of children sneaking out to play when the parent/guardian isn’t around. It can manifest either positively or negatively, it’s a wild card, but it will be uncontrolled until you take notice of it. It can also add a certain spark or uranus quality to the planets, where all of a sudden all the tension is released through expression of the planets when an opportunity arises.

The key here is awareness and control. Like all harsh aspects, major or minor, it could become a blessing in disguise once you’ve learnt how to wield it. Some problems this aspect may cause are unfiltered thoughts/actions and lack of self-awareness. If left unchecked it could point to the inability of taking accountability and stagnancy. If worked on though, it could work as a source of inspiration and a new facet in your life.

Example #1: My sister has her aqua venus in 1H sesquiquadrate her cancer saturn in the 6H. She is extremely critical of the things she likes, dislikes, what she wears, and is very disciplined in these areas without knowing she is. It’s almost like a natural talent how she is able to select and narrow down her interests, but the downside is unchecked self-criticism. Venus in 1H are known to be beautiful and magnetising in appearance and aura, and she is no different, however she can’t see it for the life of her. She can also get very critical and harsh while expressing her concern for people without intending to, but once she realised this, there was a massive change in her and she doesn’t repeat the same mistake twice. People with this aspect have to learn how to control their thoughts to themselves especially, but the benefits of this aspect is timeless style and beauty, and funnily almost a shock from others in how maturely she expresses her love.

Example #2: A friend with cap venus in 3H sesquiquadrates her gem jupiter in 8H and boy. There is a spark to her words that turns the heads of others, a love for what is hidden, the mystical and sometimes, the horrifying. She can be charming in what she says but she’s not for the faint of heart with the jupiter 8H influence, and the cap venus in 3rd makes for pretty direct and yet nurturing communication, or at least the love for it. This does not really have much bad effects due to the lucky nature of both planets, but it could lead to frustration on her part (it has) for the lack of sincerity and candidness in most of her conversations with others. Others would also not expect her interest in diving into deep conversations, and can be quite surprised, even intrigued by it.

Aspect patterns: Thor’s Hammer

Ngl I laughed at this. Basically it is when two planets square each other, and each of them also sesquiquadrates a third planet/angle, making a triangle in the shape of, well, Thor’s Hammer. This aspect pattern is believed to bring strife and tension, and the person is supposedly wilful and undisciplined if left unchecked. The ultimate rebels, they could be infamous for their controversial habits and opinions if they leave their aspects uncontrolled to fester in the background (as in most cases with minor aspects).

The Semi-sextile

So this aspect is interesting as it brings evolvement to both planets/signs, however people treat this as a negative thing while it’s still being developed (it shouldn’t be the case). The planets make a 30° angle to each other and have an orb of 0-2 degrees. I’ve heard from many websites and sources that the planet in front affects the planet at the back which in turn can develop the planet at the back further. Although with that logic, this means that the planet in front will also evolve to be expressed with the planet at the back, so both planets evolve and learn lessons from each other. This is easier said than done, as semi-sextiles often mean one planet is in consecutive signs from the other, and the planets may have a confused clash with this connection. However, this brings new energy into the planets and you may have a wiser opinion and control regarding the themes of the planets due to how often they are working together and learning from each other.

I would think semi-sextiles are GREAT aspects to have. You get a higher development and vision of your planets’ themes with the small price of getting out of your comfort zone to focus on working the two planets together. I haven’t seen much bad effects of this minor aspect, just a few complaints of how rocky the planets can be at first.

Example #1: I have a friend (I swear they are all different friends lol) with cap sun in 3H semi-sextile her aqua uranus in 4H. She presents an interesting dynamic, she is normally quite conservative and quiet as a whole (even with a 3H stellium), but when I got to know her, she’s incredibly erratic and full of ideas. NOBODY suspected this, but she can switch between being an old soul to a young child. She shapes her core values and beliefs quite rigidly, however with the uranus influence she is surprisingly progressive and sturdy amidst chaos. These two planets are often bouncing off each other in terms of growth I’ve noticed, and she is often starting up new crafts and online accounts where she sells hand-made jewellery and decorations. This aspect in particular can also benefit self-expression and individuality, if one is willing to nurture this mysterious aspect.

*Special case: In the event you have planets semi-sextiling each other but they’re still in the same sign, this is called a dissociate aspect, and it can lead to both planets acting really differently from each other even when they are the same sign.

**Example #2: I have my 0° pisces mercury in 5H semi-sextile 29° pisces venus in 6H. With this aspect, I’ve found that the expression and communication of ideas and concepts differs greatly from how you express love and interestingly, how you want to receive love. Both planets are in one of the least grounded signs, however this aspect has shaped it where both planets are bouncing off the other in growth. Your ideas of love could be very grounded and practical, in turn how you express your ideas and words are often softened when needed to. You could dial up the charm when needed and express yourself quite freely, but the subtle tension of the aspect can lead to learning how to integrate these energies properly. Overall it’s still pretty smooth and dynamic.

The Semi-Square

This aspect is the one I keep referring to as the mosquito HAHA. It can be quite irritating, with this aspect making a 45° angle between planets and having an orb of 0-2 degrees. This aspect is subtle enough to go unseen at first, but most of the time people with this aspect tend to have occurrences happening to them regarding these planets, or they express it without knowing they are and it slowly builds up problems until you become aware of it. Much like the sesquiquadrate, except for this, you don’t just need control, you need patience to understand the problem and fix it. That is, if you want to take control of your growth. It takes compromise between planets as well as the patience to understand where the problem is. This often occurs as random external events clashing with your personality or produces friction in certain areas of your life with seemingly no connections or patterns to where it stems from. This is one of the more frustrating of the minor aspects to say the least, because even as you figure out the issue, it can be so mysterious or subtle that it can be hard to figure out a solution.

Some of the manifestations of this aspect could be a repeated pattern of occurrences happening in your life without rhyme or reason regarding the theme of the planets. It could also lead to a tense relationship between planets that shows itself through minor irritations in your psyche as you go about life. This aspect can bring LOTS of growth and maturity like all harsh aspects though, much like the square, once you are aware of this and take control of how you express it.

Example #1: A friend with cap mars in 12H is semi-squared by her aqua uranus in 2H. She’s incredibly generous as a person and very fair and just in her dealings with people, however where people would assume she is stable- she is not HAHA. It is a subtle frustration in her psyche where she is incredibly erratic although she prizes efficiency and common sense, and she is naturally quite a trailblazer. However, I’ve noticed she often has obstacles in the form of authority figures and parents that rule over her routine and style, who criticise who she naturally is and when she works to correct it, focus on another ‘weakness’ of hers. All these are under the attempt to help her constructively usually, but it is at odds with her way of life. This is admittedly difficult to solve, however she has gone to take a degree in business which sort of fulfills both criteria of these planets/her parents/her own values, so like previously said, aspects like these require patience to solve.

Example #2: A friend with gem sun in 10H is semi-squared by her aries venus in 8H. She’s one of the most brilliant, hardworking, reserved, and thoughtful people I know, but unfortunately, she likes bad boys. Just kidding, it’s not a bad thing, but she admittedly has trouble reconciling her darker, shadow side with what she deems should be proper, and it often manifests in love. Her basic sense of self and what she thinks of herself is at odds with how she expresses her love, how she loves herself and what she wants to give/receive in love. She attracts a lot of people who have more aggressive, unpredictable and sometimes darker personalities which is really at odds with her sunny self. Nobody would suspect her of breaking the rules, going against authority figures or even liking more aggressive people, and yet she does all three. It’s quite funny to see, however patience in this case comes in the form of integration and parsing through her values through self-reflection, and choosing to love herself and finding that love in the form that she wants as well.

The Quintile

One of the more important minor aspects besides the Inconjunction/Quincunx, the Quintile makes an angle of 72° and has an orb of 2-3 degrees (again, 0-2 degrees for planets, 2-3 degree orb for sun and moon imo). Unlike all of the minor aspects I’ve mentioned so far, this aspect does not bring any tension or confusion, and in fact is known to be a blessing in your chart. It’s unfortunately uncommon even as a minor aspect, but it gives talents, gifts and an area of expertise to the individual. However, unlike the trine which might fall stagnant, the quintile is more dynamic and expressive, and the individual is more likely to feel called towards using their talents to work towards something. People with the quintile aspect are noticeably good at what they do regarding the planet and sign themes, but as in all cases, it is up to the person to choose to develop these gifts to their full potential.

Example #1: A friend with libra sun in 9H has it quintile her sag pluto in 11H, and she’s incredibly all-rounded and knowledgeable and attracts people like moths to a flame. She gathers quite an audience when she wants to, and her free-spirited self is surprisingly fierce and grounded in terms of her ideals and ambitions. This minor aspect gives her a boost in communicating to crowds and relating to others, because people just like her, as they should, because she’s insightful, forward-thinking and progressive when she wants to be. Overall she’s sunny, but there is a noticeable gravity around her that people take notice of and she can use it as a gift when she wants to.

The Bi-Quintile

Similar to the Quintile, the Bi-Quintile also signifies talent albeit a little differently. It makes a 144° angle between planets and has an orb of 2-3 degrees (0-2 for planets; 2-3 for sun and moon imo). The Bi-Quintile signifies ease and comfort between the planets and signifies a gift in the form of creativity when one chooses to use it. Unlike the Quintile, the Bi-Quintile is not so obvious to the individual and there is no real push to develop it, however it is often used as a creative tool in troubleshooting times because it is still a blessing in disguise. Think of it as like an easy bridge between planets that one can use to direct traffic when problems arise, and when the individual develops it, it is sporadic and creative in its output that distinguishes it from the Quintile.

Example #1: A friend with leo venus in 4H has it bi-quintile her sag mars in 8H. Not only is she an amazing dancer, she is pretty much respected and adored by many people due to how balanced her energy is. A lot like mars trine venus, except she likes to express it in a more creative nature, and it’s not nearly as active as the trine. It is more of a subtle influence in how she comes across, as if she does not care who you are, whatever gender or orientation, she can relate to you and you can relate to her. She’s also very passionate about deeper topics and the unknown, likes to heal and help people (she’s in a course for speech therapy) and is fair in all her dealings. In a sense, the bi-quintile is much like an extra useful tool she can use.

Aspect patterns for Quintile and Bi-Quintile: The Grand Quintile

The rarest aspect pattern, this is formed when there is a connection of 5 Quintiles and 5 Bi-Quintiles. This individual has immense creativity and talent that should be used wisely, as it is said it can bring great gifts and blessings, or great destruction and chaos. Given the meaning of these aspects and how weighted they are, I am not that surprised. The tip here is to learn every facet of this gift, and learn how to wield it without imbalancing your life and how you influence others (the world).

The Rare(ly used) Minor Aspects

There is the Septile, which is a minor aspect that came about when dividing 360 degrees (which makes up the full horoscope) by 7. The specific angle is 51° and 26 minutes between planets and has an orb of 0-2 degrees. Because it divides the horoscope by 7, and the number 7 is known to be an extremely spiritual number, it is allegedly supposed to bring sudden clarity and spiritual awakening between planets, although random and rare in occurrence. It is probably more noticeable within inner planets, however this energy is hardly felt, and the way this aspect is described, it brings a sense of wonder and potential fascination of the planets it concerns. Either way, how obvious this aspect is depends on whether the individual can see it and wishes to tap into it.

There is the Novile, which is a minor aspect that came about when dividing 360 degrees by 9. This has an orb of 0-1 degrees for planets, and up to 2 degrees for the sun and moon. This is even harder to parse, as it represents the 9th harmonic as well which is important in Vedic astrology. This aspect is basically unnoticeable unless you choose to further develop it, and it is said to bring extreme spiritual awakening and growth.

There are a few other aspects which are unexplained and almost unheard of, but if you’re good at geometry, take a look at the angles and how it appears in a circle, because it can bring to light some of their subtle meanings in a chart:

Semi-Octile (22.5 degrees)

Squile (75 degrees)

Squine (105 degrees)

Tri-Decile (108 degrees)

Quindecile (165 degrees)

Thank you for reading and I hope this post brought you some clarity to the minor aspects. My inbox is open if you have any questions!

Tip For Reading Charts 📖

My Directory || My Library

When reading natal and synastry charts:

Break down planets/other celestial bodies into their single energies, look at the energy of the aspect that is linking them, and then put them together in an example scenario.

See it as -> (Planet A's Energy) + (Aspect's Energy) + (Planet B's Energy)

Some ways to ask yourself:

"What does planet A represent? What does planet B represent? What kind of energy does the aspect connecting them show?"

"What topics are these two planets talking about (both energies) and how is the conversation (aspect) flowing between them?"

For Example:

Venus conjunct Sun

-> Venus: Venus, the planet associated with love, beauty, and harmony, reveals our capacity for emotional connection, our values, and our appreciation of aesthetics. It symbolizes our capacity to form relationships, seek pleasure, and experience affectionate bonds with others. Venus governs our desires for love, romance, and partnerships, as well as our personal sense of style and artistic inclinations.

-> Sun: The Sun, as the core of our being, represents our individuality, self-expression, and life force. It signifies our ego, vitality, and the essence of who we are at our core. The Sun illuminates our aspirations, ambitions, and the central themes that drive us in life. It radiates confidence, creativity, and the need for recognition and personal growth.

-> Conjunct: When two celestial bodies are conjunct in a natal chart or synastry, it means that they are positioned closely in the birth charts of the individuals involved. Conjunctions signify a potent and intense interaction between the energies represented by the planets involved. It creates a fusion of energies, often leading to a strong mutual influence and a profound impact on the dynamics of the individual or relationship.

Natal Scenario

In Jane's birth chart, her Venus (representing love, beauty, and values) is conjunct her Sun (representing ego, individuality, and life force). This conjunction indicates that Jane's core essence, self-expression, and personal desires are deeply intertwined with her capacity for love, relationships, and appreciation of beauty.

Jane's Venus conjunct Sun aspect highlights a fusion of her love nature and her sense of self. This suggests that Jane embodies her values and aesthetic preferences with confidence and authenticity. Her self-expression has a sense of warmth, charm, and a genuine appreciation for beauty.

Synastry Scenario

John's Venus (values, sense of beauty) is conjunct with Jane's Sun (ego, individuality). This conjunction suggests that John's core values, aesthetic preferences, and capacity for love deeply resonate with Jane's self-expression, personal aspirations, and vital essence. John's Venusian qualities may inspire and support Jane's sense of self-worth, boosting her confidence and allowing her to shine brightly in her pursuits.

This conjunction symbolizes a natural attraction and compatibility between their desires for romance, affection, and harmonious connection. John's Venus infuses Jane's Sun with beauty, love, and a refined sense of aesthetics. Jane, in turn, radiates warmth and appreciation for John's values, fostering a deep emotional bond and a shared appreciation for art, beauty, and the pleasures of life.

How hard is it for TikTokers to just credit the Tumblr blogs they're obviously stealing astrology content from?

Just be like, "Hey, I found this cool thing x posted. I wanted to share it with you all."

It's not hard at all. Do you want our dear Papa Saturn to deliver some karma to you or ?????
