hi there, i really enjoy your blog! i’m studying astrology and i get confused at how to read the interaction between two planets and signs as well as the strength of its energy. for example, does having a sun to pluto aspect considered stronger because of the sun being a personal planet or does a saturn/jupiter aspect to pluto considered stronger because the planets are heavy hitters? thanks!

A hidden secret to the study of aspects is judging the quality of strength of the planets.  You can do this by googling a friend/enemy placement table like this one :

Then you look at what planets rule the signs involved (classic planets only.) You can also use the modern ruling signs if you more comfortable with that (easier to see with classic planets because the tables are more set up for it.)

For instance, lets say sun in Sun in Cancer Trines Pluto in Pisces. Cancer is a sign ruled by the Moon, Scorpio is a sign ruled by Mars. How do Moon and Mars associate on the table above? Mars is a friend to Moon, which means Cancer and Scorpio aspecting planets have resources to offer one another.

When the planets are nuetral then the aspect depends on the houses involved.  If the planets are in enemy signs to each other you will notice the aspect isn’t as strong as perhaps you will read in interpretations.

How Pisces “Dissolves” Houses

Quite a few wrote in today asking me about how Pisces dissolves houses, So I will post a short explanation of how it can work (took all day, doh.)

Pisces in 1st House

Pisces dissolve the 1st house of the physical body, the behavior, self-expression, and self-image.  What we can see here is having a weak immune system and a lack of a barrier between the physical body and the outside environment. 

Another way to see is the Pisces in the 1st dissolves the desire to be in the physical body at all.  Perhaps we can say this explains the detachment from the physical world.  This births the enjoyment of the unseen realms that Pisces loves (like imagination, mystical things, ocean depths, outerspace.)

In terms of behavior and self-expression in one package; the dissolve effect might come across as being more introverted, shy, or exhibiting confusing behavior.  The self-image can dissolve.  If you ever had Pisces Rising friends they sometimes “let themselves go (because of depression for example) or sometimes they alter their body in creative ways so it loses its natural vibe.

Pisces in 2nd House

Pisces in the 2nd house dissolves the value of the house of personal values, possessions, business, early home teachings, money, and wealth. Aquarius rises in the chart so we see Pisces cause a dissolving effect relating to Values. Aquarius is a very impersonal sign that is often regarded as not possessive. So Pisces dissolving the attachment to physical possessions and personal values is the key to creating the objective "society focused” Aquarius Rising.

In terms of early home teachings, they may be dissolved in terms of lacking or confusing. Instead of the early life teaching about the family, in exchange, there may be spiritual values or maybe so much free where there is none at all. The 2nd house usually is about establishing our security through money and Pisces dissolves this to a point too. It can cause no savings or priority in building wealth for the self.

Holding personal assets isn’t a priority like the 2nd house usually commands, which can lead to giving it away instead or even having money slip through the fingers.

Pisces in 3rd House

Pisces in the 3rd house dissolves the areas of courage, valor, self-promotion, desire to be involved in community, siblings, and gathering ideas. Capricorn rises here so Pisces can bring the dissolving effect of being courageous and being outgoing in the community. In this sense, Pisces births the introverted nature of Capricorn rising.

What we can also see is possibly having no siblings or any interest in being involved with them directly. Many Capricorn risings I have known are hard work and don’t have the time to dedicate their life to being involved with local people and the community. They usually are very busy.  Pisces being in this house can be a part of why which contribute to this behavior.  The 3rd house certainly produces a lot of day-to-day distractions. When dissolving this house Pisces frees up time for Capricorn rising to pursue ambitions and personal needs.

Finally, we come to dissolving gathering ideas.  Many people see Capricorn rising as a “know it all” type of sign/energy.  They like to be the boss and don’t like to be asked questions/or ask them.  Capricorn risings like to be in control and follow structure.  The Pisces energy dissolves the need to act on impulse, and classically the 3rd house was assigned “impulse” as its basic meaning.

Pisces in 4th House

Pisces in the 4th house dissolves the early upbringing foundation, the home, family traditions, and the love of a particular idea that brings comfort.

Pisces are in the 4th dissolves attachment to having stable roots. With Pisces in this house, Sagittarius is rising in the horoscope. This is noteworthy because Sagittarius is the sign of freedom that loves to travel.  Pisces in the 4th is the source of this because it dissolves attachment to being home and rooted.
