(These are not in any particular order)

Pisces placements often refuse their own spiritual abilities unless they're really in tune with their chart and Soul purpose. I've noticed this so many times - these natives have the most potential for a natural connection to the divine, yet they so often dismiss it. This can be related to a variety of things, but I believe it mostly comes down to them being subconsciously scared to detach from the material plane and trust their innate wisdom (which often goes against what society has taught us). However when a native with strong Piscean energy does connect to the divine, they're unstoppable and enlightening.

Leo placements (yes I'm a big fan of these) have so much light in them. I can't stand all the "they're so egoistical" bullsht. Of course some will be, especially the unevolved ones, but let's be honest: most are scared of healed strong Leo energy because they don't get them (and our society really isn't built for someone like them living according to their highest vibrations). Leos are strong, brave, loving, joyous, and have enormous hearts. They're simply made out of pure love and I will not be arguing about this.

Natives with an abundance of Taurus placement will not ever forget how you did them wrong. It's a matter of time before their disappointment exceeds their feelings for you and they snap (and when they do it's truly awful). I know that we like to think Cancers are the most likely to hold grudges (and to an extent they are, but in a much more different way) but a fixed sign will really think about that for the rest of their lives. If they do happen to also have Cancer placements, forget ever being really forgiven (unless they're particularly conscious).

Scorpio placements are really not as vengeful as people believe them to be. They are ruled by Pluto - what they do is transform and outgrow their pain. Yes their anger is strong and all-consuming, but ultimately they're meant to let it go to be able to better themselves. And let's be honest, Scorpio placements have to go through so much. They're asked to face pain and discomfort throughout most of their lives. A conscious native will transform this into their greatest strength, they won't plan their revenge for years. They know something greater's coming.

Gemini placements are the true intellectuals of the zodiac. Wait, before you come for me (lately it seems that most only call them chatty and annoying), hear me out. I'm not saying they're smarter than anyone, but they are the most invested in learning about the world. This can take many different forms based on their unique chart, and most of the time the form it takes is chaotic. They may not follow the traditional educational path. Where Aquarius placements are invested in learning, yes, Gemini placements are also invested in applying what they've learned. They're unlikely to really dedicate their lives to one subject - but they will dedicate their life to continuously grow and stimulate their intellect. There's so much more to be said here.

Aries placements generally have a hard time accepting themselves. They carry so much enthusiasm and energy with them, more often than not they'll be deemed "too much". This can really hinder their spirit - these natives need a lot of freedom and acceptance from their early childhood to grow into their confidence and powerful drive. If they don't get it, they often tend to retreat within themselves and hold back their energy. This is the root of the stereotypical Aries anger - they've often been suppressing themselves for years.

Aquarius placements often need to give others better credit for the lessons they teach them. Giving gratitude is an important lesson they need to learn in this lifetime. Yes, gratitude. Even for their hurts. Possibly especially for their hurts. They have the ability to easily recognize patterns in human behavior, and they wouldn't be able to exercise this if they isolate. If an Aquarian numbs their emotions and doesn't realize the great (soon to be positive) impact a bad experience had for them they'll be unable to learn from it.

Virgo placements can be just as loving as the stereotypical maternally affectionate Cancerian. Their typical pickiness when it comes to choosing whether to let someone into their life or not is their way of evaluating possible hurts and protecting themselves from it. A healed Virgo native however will not be running away from someone based on the rationalization they made of the situation - a healed Virgo will have a highly developed intuition and be a channel for divine messages - they'll just know what is right for them without the need to judge the situation. And if the situation is indeed right, they'll be some of the most loving and dedicated people in your life.

Libra, Capricorn, Cancer, and Sagittarius placements coming soon.

Natal Chart - Your Purpose and Limitations

From an esoteric and evolutionary astrologer

In-depth Natal Chart Analysis - reconnect with your Soul and uncover the Divine within you

Learn natal astrology

Important things to note: in esoteric astrology, we approach the rising sign as the sign of possibilities - why you incarnated in this life as well as the source of your creative potential, the Moon sign as the sign of the unconscious - your spiritual limitations, and the Sun sign as the sign of probabilities. - how you express yourself.

I generally love seeing a Gemini Mars in a birth chart - but whenever these natives have Mercury or Venus (esoteric ruler of Gemini) placed in the 12th house or in a harsh aspect to Neptune, they seem to get so easily lost in life. Both their drive and their communication skills are hindered. They need to do a lot of inner healing and channel their energy into specific ventures based on how Mercury, Venus, and Mars are placed and aspected in the chart.

Most Leo Suns are here to heal themselves first and then guide others into the light. They're an inspiration and someone who other people can rely on, even when they have no one else. This is not an easy task and the birth chart will show the best way to go about this journey.

An evolved Gemini Rising is the best at breaking down barriers and letting love pour into other people's lives. They're great at uniting people, and some of the wisest.

An evolved Aquarius Rising is the one to kick-start spiritual transformations in others. They're at their peak when consciously cooperating with others for a greater cause.

An evolved Virgo Moon will be able to reconnect Soul and Matter together. Seeing things through, and compassionately understanding others.

A Capricorn Saturn will be put through so much throughout their lives. Ultimately, they're asked to recognize that even in the hardest of situations they still do have a choice - and should make their decision wisely.

Venus in Taurus natives are the best at perceiving energy through the material form. This may sound a little confusing, but to put it simply they're particularly sensitive to the energy expressed by both the people and objects around them.

Venus in Aquarius. I'm tired to hear everyone call you cold and emotionless. What the actual f. Those with this placement are actually the best at perceiving and seeing the different connections between people. They see the interconnection of it all. They radiate love and are able to relate to others, no matter how unique, while still maintaining a strong center.

Chiron's placement will show you your pain, yes, but it will also show you the way out of it. Don't work against this energy - use it for your betterment and healing.

"(...) astrology is essentially the purest presentation of occult truth in the world at this time, because it is the science which deals with those conditioning and governing energies and forces which play through and upon the whole field of space and all that is found within that field. When this fact is grasped and the sources of those energies are better comprehended and the nature of the field of space is correctly understood, we shall then see a far wider and at the same time a more closely related horizon; the relationships between individual, planetary, systemic and cosmic entities will be grasped, and we shall then begin to live scientifically. It is this scientific living which it is the immediate purpose of astrology to bring about."

Full Moon/Eclipse in Scorpio - Astrology & Tarot

For a limited time only, I'm offering in-depth tarot readings for just 8$. Only 10 slots available. Find out more here

As we're getting ready for tomorrow's eclipse in Scorpio, I felt called to pull some cards for the collective. Here's what came up:

Oracle deck Woodland Wardens by Jessica Roux (one of my all times favorites decks):

32 - The Badger and Ginko, healing wounds 42 - The Eel and Iris, safety

Tarot deck Loputyn:

8 - The Justice

Let's start with the astrology of this. (Do not be scared, you've lived through many eclipses - you're going to be fine). The upcoming full Moon in Scorpio is all about letting go of toxicity in our lives. This could even be about releasing generational traumas for some of us. Check where the Full Moon (14 degrees Scorpio) is falling in your chart and how it's going to be affecting your placements. I'd personally say that we can expect sudden changes in our lives, and possibly see something being stripped away from us. If the Full Moon will be opposing/conjunct/ squaring your natal Moon/rising (you'd have to be a fixed Moon or rising - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), you're in for what looks like a strongly emotional ride of release and completing cycles. Using this time to self-reflect is fundamental for your evolution and growth. Also, I invite you to reflect on how you're nurturing yourself at this time, and what can be improved. The energy started by this eclipse season is going to be unfolding in the next 6 months, so beware of changes and transformations in the area of your life ruled by Scorpio for some time to come. This may feel very uncomfortable but it is necessary at this time, as the cards remind us.

The thirty-second card, The Badger and Ginko, invites us to consider how we may have hurt others, possibly acting out of a place of pain ourselves. Which of your past actions require an apology? How can you keep an open heart and forgive yourself? What steps are you being asked to take right now for your own healing? How you inflicted your own wounds onto someone else?

The forty-second card, The Eel and Iris, talks about our sense of safety and security. As you're undergoing these changes brought on by the eclipses, where do you find safety? This is a good time to establish new and healthy boundaries and stay firm on them. How can you make others feel safe whilst maintaining a healthy sense of self?

And finally, the Justice card seeks balance and restoration of cycles. Did you hurt others and not make amends for your actions? How can you actively pursue the life you wish to live whilst acting out of a place of love and compassion?

In conclusion, the cards are pointing to a strong collective need to look within ourselves at this time and correct past behaviors which may have been detrimental to others (or perhaps even ourselves). To find safety and comfort in the outer world, you first need to find it within yourself.

The Most Stylish Astro Placements

For a limited time only, I'm offering in-depth tarot readings for just 8$. Only 10 slots available. Find out more here

In-depth Natal Chart Analysis - reconnect with your Soul and uncover the Divine within you

Taurus placements - let's start with the obvious. Taurus placements will forever take the crown as the ones with the greatest eye for beauty, details, aesthetics, luxury, and style. Their creativity (especially enhanced if they're placed in the 5th house) knows no bounds and is truly inspiring. You can spot someone with heavy Taurian energy from a mile away, although the manifestation of this influence will heavily depend on how these placements are aspected and which planets are involved. If you're struggling to connect with your creativity as a Taurian, you can ask me for personalized guidance and insight based on your chart.

Leo placements - although their approach to their style is not as intuitive as that of Taurus placements, they wish to shine and eventually get there. If there's Scorpio influence in their chart they may also be very pragmatic about the clothes they choose to wear and how they style them. A very creative sign, those born with these placements have a strong desire to express themselves, even through clothes.

Virgo placements - I hope no one's surprised by this. Virgos are known for their attention to detail - they generally look well put together and may often choose the "clean girl" aesthetic for themselves. Although their style could be more on the simple side rather than super creative, it is still very personal and prioritizes what is in tune with their lifestyle. They may be particularly interested in accessories.

Libra placements - I personally feel that those born with a strong LIbranian influence often choose to follow trends rather than create them, but they do so in such a pleasant, harmonious, and natural way that you'd think they invented it. The mediators of the zodiac, they're great at putting things together and making it seem effortless.

Honorable mentions: Aquarius and Pisces placements - the way Aquarians approach their style may be very unique but will be heavily influenced by the rest of their chart. Still, they're often the ones coming up with unique inspiration and daring looks. Pisces placements have tons of creative energy in them, so those Pisceians who are living in tune with their nature can have a real blast when it comes to clothing and accessories, but that is not as common and we often see them being quite indecisive and uncertain when it comes to their personal style.

I feel like there's also something to be said about Gemini placements and their playful approach to creativity and style, but I can't quite pinpoint it yet in a general one-size-fits-all definition.

Moon in harmonious aspect to Venus - these people integrate emotion and beauty beautifully! They're naturally inclined to look for comfort both within and outside of themselves. If they channel this into fashion and their personal style, you can bet you're going to see the most beautifully put-together outfits.

Sun in harmonious aspect to Venus - their desire for self-expression could often manifest through intricate/aesthetically pleasing clothing choices. If Pluto is involved here, there could also be some sort of obsession regarding one's style and appearance.

Venus in harmonious aspect to Neptune - the creative potential here is absurd! Depending on the houses, these aspects can bring a strong desire for a coherent and beautiful, almost dreamy style.

Astro Observations - Placements I Adore

The pictures used are not mine Have your chart analyzed by me Learn natal astrology

Sagittarius placements - I have to admit I have a soft spot for all the mutable placements out there, but Sag... especially Moon and/or Mercury/Mars... y'all are insanely intuitive (big plus if you ask me), courageous, open minded (unless the native is unevolved and choosing the "I'm the only one who knows the truth so let me impose it on you" path), and just generally such a great vibe. I've always strugged to put my admiration for this energy into words because it's just... so great ugh

1st/7th/10th/11th house Venus - these people are generally so well-liked it's crazy. They have just the right type of natural charm about them that draws people in, and I'm here for it. They're charismatic, generally social and outgoing, and perceived in such a romantic light by the public.

Taurus and Leo placements - if you have both Taurus and Leo placements in your chart you've won the astrological lottery as long as I'm concerned. These two signs are each the culmination of something special - for Taurus, it's good taste, appreciation of nature, and food, animal love, fragrances. For Leo, it's creativity, joy, life, loyalty, and general warm infatuation with life - does this make sense to anybody else?

1st/4th/7th/10th house Mars or Saturn - Yes this energy isn't easy and needs a lot of attention and mastering from the native, so seeing it in full force, especially in someone who fully mastered it, is rare. BUT! An angular Mars or Saturn is so powerful and incredibly fascinating to observe. Tapping into this energy, if you happen to have it in your birth chart, is a game changer. EDIT: You need to consider your whole chart when trying to master this energy. If you wish to hear my input, I have an affordable one-question chart analysis available.

8th house Venus or Jupiter - They attract support and help with such ease. They get whatever they wish for. Others will easily show up for them whenever they need and they easily benefit from the people in their life (not in a manipulating type of way).

12th house Moon - another tough placement, however - once the native gets in touch with this energy and learns to use it for their benefit and spiritual growth, there's no stopping them. Possibly the most intuitive, spiritual, healing placement I have ever observed. They're in touch with their subconscious which makes any type of work on themselves much smoother.

Gemini placements - if you actually believe Geminis to be two-faced, you don't know what you're missing out on. The chameleons of the zodiac, these placements can talk their way out or into pretty much anything. They'll mirror your own energy back to you so maybe if you can't stand them it's time to do some inner work.

Prominent Neptune - dreamy, ethereal, spiritual, intuitive, poetic, and artistic - what more can I say?

Cancer Mercury - They'll intuitively know what you need and show up for you. They'll also destroy your life and burn your house to the ground if you cross them. Love that for them.

Virgo Sun - Virgos are underrated. I'm tired of all the neat-freak stereotypes, they carry such strong intellectual energy. They can easily get on top of most situations by simply following their instincts. They'll give you awesome advice based on the many rabbit holes they've gone through in the past five days online. They'll be there for you when you need them. Also, there's a strong sexual energy here I rarely see anyone talk about, so I could make a post about it if anyone's interested.

Astro Observations

We're going to keep this one short but hopefully sweet!

Have your chart analyzed by me

Water risings with a 2nd house Moon - Yes this is pretty specific just stay with me for a second. These people have both stunning eyes/stares and a very elegant neck. They have an alluring and magnetic presence.

Moon square Saturn - this is often the "cat who wants to climb the tree but is scared of heights". They often struggle to express their feelings openly, yet emotional reciprocity and stability are what they crave.

Saturn conjunct North Node - I have often found this conjunction in the charts of those who are living their last incarnation here. The Universe, and Saturn especially, is watching these natives closely; often putting them to the test. It's common for them to have to relieve the same situation over and over until they learn, and whenever they do something they know is not good, they seem to receive their karmic lesson almost immediately.

Intuition and creativity in the chart - each one of your placements has the possibility to express itself in an intuitive and creative way. If you believe yourself to not be intuitive or creative, it is an indicator of misalignment with your higher self and source of joy. Obviously, both creativity and intuition will express themselves differently for each and every single one of us, but trust me when I say that deep down you do have that connection with Source. You can learn to tap into it by starting to live in alignment with your chart.

3rd house Venus - This is the placement that encourages you to use your words and creative self-expression to connect with others and build relationships. Once they master this, these natives really start to understand what mutual respect is and how it's built, and will learn how to stay both consistent and honest in relationships more than most.

The Sun - Understanding Astrology

I've been wanting to create this series on the basics of each planet in Astrology for a while now, so here we go. Please keep in mind that I am an esoteric and evolutionary astrologer, so this will be reflected in my approach to each planet and its interpretations.

Through Space and Time: mythology, religion, and spirituality

The sun has been worshipped as a symbol of spiritual power and connection to the divine across many different cultures and religions and continues to hold a significant place in spiritual and religious practices today.

Ancient Egypt: In ancient Egypt, the sun was worshipped as the god Ra, who is considered the creator of the universe. Ra was often depicted as a falcon with a sun disk on his head. The sun was also closely associated with the goddess Hathor, who is considered the mother of the sun.

Hinduism: In Hinduism, the sun is worshipped as the god Surya, who is considered the source of life and the ruler of the planets. Surya is often depicted riding a chariot driven by seven horses, representing the seven colors of the rainbow. The sun is also associated with the concept of Atman, or the individual soul, which is seen as a spark of the divine.

Aztec Religion: In Aztec religion, the sun was worshipped as the god Huitzilopochtli, who was considered the god of war and the protector of the Aztec people. The Aztecs made daily sacrifices to Huitzilopochtli to ensure that the sun would rise each day.

Christianity: In Christianity, the sun is often used as a symbol of Christ's resurrection and triumph over death. The sun rising on Easter morning is seen as a metaphor for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The sun is also associated with the concept of the Holy Spirit, which is seen as a symbol of divine light and guidance.

Japanese Mythology: In Japanese mythology, the sun is worshipped as the goddess Amaterasu, who is considered the ruler of the universe and the protector of the Japanese people. Amaterasu is often depicted as a beautiful woman with a sun disk on her head, and her worship is associated with the concept of Shinto, which emphasizes the importance of nature and the divine in everyday life.

Indigenous Cultures: Many indigenous cultures throughout the world have worshipped the sun as a symbol of spiritual power and connection to the divine. For example, the Hopi people of North America see the sun as a symbol of purity and life force, and worship Tawa - the sun spirit who formed the world, while the Inca people of South America worshipped the sun as Inti, the god of the sun and ruler of the heavens.

Ancient Greek Mythology: In ancient Greece, the sun was worshipped as the god Helios, who was considered the personification of the sun. Helios was often depicted riding a chariot across the sky, and was associated with the concepts of truth, illumination, and vision.

Norse Mythology: In Norse mythology, the sun was personified as the goddess Sunna, who was believed to ride across the sky in a chariot pulled by two horses. Sunna was associated with the concepts of light, warmth, and life force.

Taoism: In Taoism, the sun is associated with the concept of yang energy, which is seen as the active, masculine, and creative force in the universe. Yang energy is associated with the sun's warmth, light, and life-giving properties.

Islam: In Islam, the sun is associated with the concept of tawhid, or the oneness of God. The sun is seen as a symbol of God's power and majesty, and is often used in Islamic art and architecture as a decorative element.

Buddhism: In Buddhism, the sun is associated with the concept of enlightenment, or the state of spiritual awakening and liberation. The sun's radiant energy is seen as a symbol of the Buddha's teachings, which illuminate the path to enlightenment.

Ancient Mesopotamia: In ancient Mesopotamia, the sun was worshipped as the god Shamash, who was considered the god of justice, truth, and divine authority. Shamash was often depicted holding a sun disk and scales, representing his role as a judge of human behavior.

In Astrology and Spirituality

In esoteric and evolutionary astrology, the Sun represents the native's soul, their purpose and potential, and their creative expression. It is considered the center of the native's being and the source of their vitality and life force. It's the native's innermost desire to fulfill their potential and express their unique individuality.

Astrology sees the Sun as a symbol of the higher self, the ego, the sense of self, and the individual's journey toward spiritual enlightenment. The Sun's position in a person's birth chart indicates the soul's purpose and the lessons they need to learn in this lifetime. It's the primary force behind the individual's personal growth and evolution. The Sun will also point to the karmic lessons and the challenges the native needs to overcome to fulfill their life purpose.

1. Life Purpose: The Sun is seen as a symbol of the individual's life purpose, or the reason for their incarnation in this lifetime. The Sun's placement in the birth chart can provide insights into the native's talents, abilities, and strengths, as well as their potential for growth and evolution.

2. Identity: The Sun is also seen as a symbol of the native's sense of self or ego. The Sun's placement in the birth chart will provide insights into the native's personality traits, values, and beliefs, as well as their sense of identity and purpose.

3. Vitality: The Sun is associated with the concept of vitality and life force, and is a symbol of the individual's physical and emotional energy. The Sun's placement in the birth chart will provide insights into the individual's health and well-being, as well as their capacity for creativity and self-expression.

4. Consciousness: The Sun is also associated with the concept of consciousness, or the individual's awareness of their inner self and outer reality. The Sun's placement in the birth chart will tell us about the native's level of consciousness, their potential for spiritual growth and evolution.

5. Integration: Finally, the Sun is seen as a symbol of integration and wholeness, representing the native's ability to integrate their various aspects of self into a cohesive whole. The Sun's placement in the birth chart can provide insights into the individual's capacity for self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-realization.

In both esoteric and evolutionary astrology, the Sun is seen as a powerful force that influences the individual's life journey and personal growth. Its placement in the chart is incredibly important.

By interpreting the Sun in the birth chart we gain insight into the native's deepest desires, motivations, and aspirations, and help them align their life path with their true purpose. This is the foundation of the work I do with my clients - Have your chart analyzed by me

The Sun is associated with the sign of Leo, the 5th house, and the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura Chakra).

Examples (in Astrology)

These interpretations are synthesized as they do not account for house placement, sign, and other aspects.

Sun sextile Neptune: This aspect represents an opportunity for growth between the native's sense of self (Sun) and their relationship to spirituality and creativity (Neptune). This native may have a natural ability to connect with the spiritual or creative realms, and may be drawn to artistic or mystical pursuits. They may have a strong intuitive sense and may be naturally compassionate and empathetic.

Sun conjunct Moon: This aspect represents a strong connection between the native's sense of self (Sun) and emotional nature (Moon). This showcases how the native's life purpose is closely tied to their emotional needs and that their emotional nature is an essential part of their sense of self. They may be naturally intuitive and sensitive, and may have a strong creative potential. However, they may also struggle with issues of identity and self-expression, and may need to work on integrating their ego and emotions.

Sun square Pluto: This aspect represents a challenge between the native's sense of self (Sun) and their relationship to power and transformation (Pluto). This tells us that the native may struggle with issues of control and power, and may need to work on developing a healthy relationship with their personal power. They may be drawn to transformative experiences and may have a natural ability to bring about change, but may also need to work on avoiding power struggles and manipulation.

I have 4 Yod aspects in my chart, would you be able to give more insight on Yods in general?

Hi! Absolutely, I'd love to.

A short introduction just in case someone else reading this isn't sure what we're talking about here: a Yod is an aspect pattern that consists of two inconjunct aspects (150 degrees) and one sextile aspect (60 degrees). It is formed when two planets are in a sextile aspect to each other and both form an inconjunct aspect to a third planet. I would advise heavily against using points and steroids when looking for a Yod. To take it a step further, I'd only allow personal (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) and social (Jupiter and Saturn) planets and an orb of 2 degrees for the inconjunctions and 4 degrees for the sextile. However, I'll also make some examples with generational planets just so we can get a better feel of this energy.

The formation is a narrow, elongated triangle, with the third planet at the apex of the triangle - this is the "finger" of the Yod and also the focal planet.

The Yod is a rare and powerful aspect pattern because it involves three planets that are in a complex and dynamic relationship with each other. It's a symbol of spiritual growth and evolution, as it represents a point of tension and challenge that can lead to profound growth and transformation.

Yods are seen as indicators of the soul's evolutionary journey. They are symbols of karmic patterns that need to be resolved in order for the soul to evolve and grow. The placement of the yod in the natal chart will provide further insight into a native's soul purpose and the challenges they need to overcome in order to achieve it.

Example 1: if a native has a Yod involving the Moon, Uranus, and Pluto, it may indicate a need to resolve past life patterns related to emotional (Moon) intensity, rebellion (Uranus), and transformation (Pluto). The challenge would be to find a way to integrate these energies and use them in a positive and constructive way, rather than being overwhelmed by them.

Yods are also symbols of spiritual potential and transformation. They are indicators of a native's spiritual gifts and talents, as well as the challenges they need to overcome in order to fully realize their potential.

Example 2: if a native has a Yod involving the Sun, Neptune, and Pluto, it may indicate a need to develop their spiritual gifts and talents in a way that is aligned with their soul purpose. The challenge would be to overcome any illusions or delusions that may be blocking their path and to use their spiritual gifts in a way that is aligned with their highest good and the good of others.

I talk about all the important configurations in my astrology book btw. It's very affordable and aims to give you all the needed basic skills to understand the foundations of natal astrology.

Interpreting Yods is actually pretty challenging because of the very complex dynamics they involve. Here are two things to consider:

First, it is important to consider the planets involved in the Yod and their placement by sign and house. This will provide valuable insight into the nature of the challenge and the area of life where it is likely to manifest.

Second, it is important to consider the sextile aspect that connects the two inconjunct planets. This can provide insight into the resources and talents that can be used to release the tension and achieve the desired growth and evolution.

Astro Observations

Have your chart analyzed by me

Learn natal astrology

Gemini Stelliums - having three or more planets placed in Gemini is such an underrated gift. These natives are ever-curious, open-minded, fun to be around, ever-evolving, and super creative. They're so funny and have such an incredible abundance of intellectual energy. You can not get bored of talking to them unless you're not interested in a broad variety of topics. Also, they're generally really great in those fields that happen to interest them for longer than a couple of weeks.

Capricorn risings with a Scorpio Sun - I've personally observed that these natives have a generally stressful upbringing. It is not uncommon that they have (at least) one ill parent - either physically, spiritually, mentally, etc. - or a very strict and cold one. Ultimately they seem to go through a long journey of self-discovery (this isn't too pleasant, but they're forced to figure their way out of any difficult condition and situation), culminating with their first Saturn return. Then, if they choose to follow all the teachings they've learned, they usually start taking their life in a completely different direction and following their deepest calling. I would argue that for the first 30 years of their lives, these natives are here to be faced with difficulty and get on top of it. How all of this is happening and manifesting depends heavily on the rest of the chart.

Two fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) and one mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) placement in your big three - especially if the fixed placement is the Sun(!), is often found in the charts of those who really value being taken seriously (and need that reassurance up until they heal this) but have to often question whether those close to them actually take them seriously.

Taurus is the cardinal sign of fixed signs (does this make any sense to anybody else?), just like Virgo is the fixed sign of mutable signs.

North Node - I often note how, whenever someone's North Node isn't aspected, they really struggle to feel this energy. It can easily manifest on a much more subconscious level as its negative characteristics. They could even deny they even have those tendencies, simply because they aren't aware of them.

Chart ruler - how your chart ruler interacts with your Dominant planet AND the planet in Oriental appearance (the one to rise before the Sun on the day of your birth) will give you so much deep insight into your personality. Do not overlook or undervalue these aspects.

Why do cancers get bullied a lot?

Hello there.

I would personally say that due to many stereotypes and (unfortunately) many Cancerians out there living by their wounds and not channeling their Higher Self's energy, this energy is highly misunderstood.

Cancer energy is very healing and extremely powerful. However, we often hear such words as Crybaby, Sensitive, or even Fragile when these placements are described. Now, if someone with Cancer placements were to passively choose to live by those characteristics, they'll be great at it, sure. But that is still not what the purest and most evolved form of this energy is.

At their best, Cancerians are sympathetic, helpful, intuitive, maternal, tenacious, and strong. When living in tune with their chart they can achieve literally anything they set their minds to. But partially because this energy is so strong and partially because of how hard it can be to truly tap into it as it does not fit well with today's societal expectation of a fast-paced life devoted to work and the annihilation of self in the name of overachievement and perfectionism, natives with Cancer placements often don't discover their full potential.

And as I've said before Cancerian energy can be overwhelming emotional, manipulative, and brooding. In a certain sense, and please don't get this the wrong way, they can be easily hurt, and thus a "satisfying" victim of sadistic bullying. They can also have the tendency of feeling overly sorry for themselves, which makes things worse. However please consider what planets are placed in Cancer and which houses and aspects are involved as this will be very influential.

In the Astrological community, however, these placements often get picked on for their sensitivity simply because sensitivity, a caring nature, and nurturing tendencies aren't the qualities we believe on a societal level a successful and powerful person possesses. We tend to praise those who showcase their power through force rather than love.

(Let me know if this doesn't mean much sense).

I personally believe that Cancer placements are possibly the most in need of deep inner child work. To live happily whilst embodying their Higher Self they need to be able to accept and love themselves fully, which isn't an easy task, especially if most people around you are saying you're "too much".

Living in tune with their nature is so favorable that they often turn their lives around completely once they reach that point in their lives. An in-depth understanding of their chart will also help immensely!

Astro Observations - Placements I Adore

The pictures used are not mine Have your chart analyzed by me Learn natal astrology

Sagittarius placements - I have to admit I have a soft spot for all the mutable placements out there, but Sag... especially Moon and/or Mercury/Mars... y'all are insanely intuitive (big plus if you ask me), courageous, open minded (unless the native is unevolved and choosing the "I'm the only one who knows the truth so let me impose it on you" path), and just generally such a great vibe. I've always strugged to put my admiration for this energy into words because it's just... so great ugh

1st/7th/10th/11th house Venus - these people are generally so well-liked it's crazy. They have just the right type of natural charm about them that draws people in, and I'm here for it. They're charismatic, generally social and outgoing, and perceived in such a romantic light by the public.

Taurus and Leo placements - if you have both Taurus and Leo placements in your chart you've won the astrological lottery as long as I'm concerned. These two signs are each the culmination of something special - for Taurus, it's good taste, appreciation of nature, and food, animal love, fragrances. For Leo, it's creativity, joy, life, loyalty, and general warm infatuation with life - does this make sense to anybody else?

1st/4th/7th/10th house Mars or Saturn - Yes this energy isn't easy and needs a lot of attention and mastering from the native, so seeing it in full force, especially in someone who fully mastered it, is rare. BUT! An angular Mars or Saturn is so powerful and incredibly fascinating to observe. Tapping into this energy, if you happen to have it in your birth chart, is a game changer. EDIT: You need to consider your whole chart when trying to master this energy. If you wish to hear my input, I have an affordable one-question chart analysis available.

8th house Venus or Jupiter - They attract support and help with such ease. They get whatever they wish for. Others will easily show up for them whenever they need and they easily benefit from the people in their life (not in a manipulating type of way).

12th house Moon - another tough placement, however - once the native gets in touch with this energy and learns to use it for their benefit and spiritual growth, there's no stopping them. Possibly the most intuitive, spiritual, healing placement I have ever observed. They're in touch with their subconscious which makes any type of work on themselves much smoother.

Gemini placements - if you actually believe Geminis to be two-faced, you don't know what you're missing out on. The chameleons of the zodiac, these placements can talk their way out or into pretty much anything. They'll mirror your own energy back to you so maybe if you can't stand them it's time to do some inner work.

Prominent Neptune - dreamy, ethereal, spiritual, intuitive, poetic, and artistic - what more can I say?

Cancer Mercury - They'll intuitively know what you need and show up for you. They'll also destroy your life and burn your house to the ground if you cross them. Love that for them.

Virgo Sun - Virgos are underrated. I'm tired of all the neat-freak stereotypes, they carry such strong intellectual energy. They can easily get on top of most situations by simply following their instincts. They'll give you awesome advice based on the many rabbit holes they've gone through in the past five days online. They'll be there for you when you need them. Also, there's a strong sexual energy here I rarely see anyone talk about, so I could make a post about it if anyone's interested.
