Astro Musing No. 12

Those With Jupiter in Their 10th House

 enjoy lots of luck at work. They can find themselves quite fortunate when it comes to finding a job, making connections, or even just getting recognition at in their careers without having to try too hard. They achieve fame or there’s at least tremendous potential for the former [the sign Jupiter is in will indicate what this fame might manifest as]. Moreover, people will just know things about these natives. The downside of this is that, because of their larger-than-life persona, they can attract nosey types. Like a celebrity, they might find their personal life the topic of gossip. Better thicken up that skin and be prepared for haters to hate.

A Man’s Lilith

not only shows who he is secretly attracted to, but if heterosexual, the type of woman he views as his rival equal. The less secure types might treat this woman off that bat in a guarded and even hostile manner. He fears she will “eat” him. Black widow style. Still, often he will find himself having an insatiable sexual desire for her. She’s everything he feels he shouldn’t have. Forbidden fruit in the truest sense of the word.

Expounding on Lilith: in synastry, if a man’s Lilith is in your 12th and Venus or Mars are involved, it can indicate that he wishes to have secret affair. You might turn him on sexually and he can think of doing unspeakable [12th house] things to you. All his repressed desires [Lilith] are sort of projected onto you. Think “secret pornos in the basement or attic”.

1st House Ruler

conjunct midheaven/ in the 10th can make one hyper career focused. The ones who work through holidays. Being the corporate “big wig”. However, if squaring the sun, it can indicate authority issues or even “imposter syndrome”. Like who you want the world [MC] to see you as [1st house/rising] is at odds [square] with your real identity [Sun].

9/10, someone with Saturn on the Nadir

will have had a strict upbringing or an upbringing where they were forced into a mindset or lifestyle they may not necessarily see as true to their path.

Chiron in the 4th involved pain surrounding the home life or family. However, since this is Chiron, if the native plans on becoming a parent themselves, this is where they can heal themselves and even break generational curses. Often they make the best parents because they go out of their way to avoid causing their offspring the same pain they’ve gone through.

Chiron in the 9th struggle with their faith. They may constantly ask themselves the age old question “what is the meaning of life?”. Things get very philosophical/existential with this placement.

Chiron in the 10th have perfectionists tendencies. Yes, even more than Virgo. This is because the wound is about “recognition” . If they are not the best/ the most disciplined/or the most hard working they can beat themselves up.

If You Have 12th House Placements Or Mars in the 8th in Your Solar Return Chart

Don’t fret. This doesn’t mean that you’re marked for death or anything horrific. It typically means that during that time, you may be incredibly insular as opposed to other years. Mars in the 12th might mean that your drive is a bit stifled that year. You may find yourself a homebody. Perhaps you’re not exercising. Maybe you’re working remotely or your sex life is more in your fantasies than happening in real life. Venus in the 12th in the solar return can indicate you might have an affair that year. You may even deal with some self-worth issues or maybe you’re keeping a lover a secret. Speaking of the 12th, a Pisces rising in your solar return might mean you could be very sensitive that year or idealistic. Careful to set boundaries for yourself. You might find that you’re giving others too much of yourself and feel a bit like a martyr. 

Moon in the 8th or 12th but harshly aspected might mean the native may deal with heavier emotional or mental health issues that year. Seeking counseling and more treatment are remedies they should look into [being pre-emptive]. Mars in the 8th in the solar return might mean you’ll be more sexually active that year. All that being said, It’s VITAL: to look at progressions, transits, as well as the return regarding predictive astrology. Otherwise, you could make yourself shook for no reason.

8 Degree Planets in Astrology

Aren’t necessarily bad. In reality, astrological symbols, as well as degrees, are neutral. The reason it brings apprehension to those who incorporate ‘degree astrology’ into their study is because the 8th degree is seen through Scorpio energy. 8= 8th house [death, taxes, karma, etc.] This means that there are potential lessons, karmic lessons the degree will bring into your life and hopefully the ones you are ready to heal. You will be transformed with planets at that placement and will feel their energy very strongly. But by no means is it all doom, gloom, and cataclysm. 

Mercury in Aries like when others get straight to the point. Long Winded lectures, classes, sermons or just basic conversations irritate them. They prefer you jump to the punchline.

Similarly, Mars in Virgo, as detail oriented as this mutable Mars is, can be very short with explanations. They’d prefer to say it just once and hate repeating themselves.

Jupiter in Aries

enjoy learning on their own. They prefer to work independently. They’re most likely the kid who tells their parents “Mom or Dad! I can do it myself!”

Jupiter in the 4th or Mercury in the 4th can indicate people who were homeschooled while Sagittarius 5th houses or 4th house Sagittarians are the people who traveled a lot when they were younger. Parents maybe had jobs that made the family move around a lot. Mom or dad had nomadic vibes or they might’ve been “missionary” kids [Jupiter/Sagittarius rules religion/higher mind, travel and philosophy. ] I often find that natives with this aspect even have families from multiple backgrounds. Lots of 3rd culture kids, etc. Jupiter also rules abundance so many with this placement can also have very large families or produce lots of offspring themselves. These are the families with double digits. On both sides.

Mars or Jupiter in the 5th often indicates a person who has a lot of sex. They aren’t typically traditional with their methods which means there doesn’t always need to be a ring involved. In layman’s terms? Here you find the “players” lol. Doesn’t matter which sex.

Virgo placements typically excel in Careers focused on logistics. So taking a filing entry job or working in customs which requires data logging as well as meticulous attention to law and code might be their Forte.

Moon in Aquarius

rarely chase friendships. Though the sign rules the 11th, ironically these natives just don’t have the same desire as everyone else to form these tight bonds. Another manifestation of this placement is the type of person to have a friendship/relationship end and not really bat an eye. Very easy for them to cut people off at the drop of a hat if they feel the other person is fucking up their Feng shui. It’s because of the detached and unpredictable nature of Uranus that keeps their emotional center very “no strings attached.”

Speaking of Moving On. Those with Leo Stelliums

[especially involving Venus] are famous for moving on extremely fast. Though the sign is fixed, it’s also a fire sign. Verrrry rare for them to stay pining forever. So don’t think you’re ever gonna catch these natives simpin’ on you for long. In addition a Leo stelliums kryptonite is lack of attention/being ignored. They’ll do everything in their power to avoid it. Here you’ll find the serial are daters. The ones who always has a significant other.

Most Competitive Placements Are

• Sun in the 5th
• Sun in the 1st
• Aries Mars
• Taurus Sun
• Aries moons
• Leo suns
• Mars in the 1st
• Mars In the 6th [sport and drive are part of their daily routine]
• Leo Mars
• Taurus Mars [especially in the 10th- competitive at work]
• Scorpio Mars’
• Capricorn Sun [goats like to climb]
• Capricorn Mars
• Capricorn Risings
• Scorpio Suns
• Sun conjunct/square/opposite Mars
• Mars in 10th
• Mars as the most elevated planet
• Sun as the most elevated planet

Now, the aforementioned are typically “physically” competitive as well as professionally. However, when speaking of mentally competitive you’re wanting to look at :

• Mercury in the 5th
• Mercury in the 1st
• Gemini Mars
• Mercury in Gemini
• Mercury in Scorpio
• Mercury in Aquarius [these ones especially love a good opinionated debate]
• Aquarius Sun’s
• Virgo Mars [they will often cut you with critique and poke holes in your arguments for fun.]
• Gemini 3rd housers
• Mercury in Aries [these might not back their arguments up with fully researched empirical data, but they’ll make damn sure they have the last word.]
• Mercury conjunct/trine/squaring Pluto [will be the ones to “mind fuck” you. Play very intelligent psychological games. In their more twisted state, think “John Kramer A.K.A Jigsaw,Hannibal Lecter, or even Light Yagami From Death Note.]

Virgo Ruling the 2nd house can make a native a good food critique or a food critique or a food critic. This is because the 2nd house has to do with the throat and is rolled by Venus which rules Food and luxury. They could make good money taking up a career in this or even writing a cookbook. In fact, many food bloggers have this placement.

Mars [war] in the 11th [friendship] will be the types to fight for their friends. Not in a figurative sense- they will literally throw bows for you. Help you fight your bully. Same with those with Mars ruling the 11th.

Speaking of what people will do for their fiends, 3rd house Capricorns, 11th and 12th house Plutonians as well as 8th house Mercurians are the best secret keepers. Don’t have to worry about these natives "snitching” on you. Pluto rules the depths and things that are hidden and 12th house is the house of secrets. Capricorn is earth and typically only speak when absolutely necessary. They are also very measured [Saturn/regiment] with their communication. So often, they are hard pressed to let things “slip”. If you commit a crime and they’re asked to testify on the stand? Consider yourself exonerated.

Gemini 4th house

can indicate a family where twins [fraternal or identical] run rampant.

Mercury in Sagittarius and Sagittarius moons

curse quite often. Nessus in the 3rd might enjoy profane use of language as well.

Your Music Tastes

can often be found by looking at:

• 1st house [the head, what goes in the ears]
• Your Mercury
• Your Mars [drive]
• Your 12th House [Neptune/art music]
• Your Venus {what you appreciate/art]
• 2nd house [of values]
• 3rd House [of communication]

For example, I’ve noticed many with Aries/Mars/Scorpio dominant [on any of the aforementioned placements] enjoy rock/metal/rap. Saturnian doms lovethem some heavy metal. While those with Gemini or mutable placements can adapt to all kinds of music and have playlists that are quite eclectic. That’s why people like Kanye west [Mutable air] get people from all different walks of life to feature in his music I.E. Bon Iver, 30 seconds to Mars, Marilyn Manson. His Best friend turned rival, Rapper Jay-Z is a mutable Sag and worked with alternative rock band Linkin Park on a best selling collaboration tour. [Check overlays in synastry and composite to see how your tastes relate to someone else’s].

Your 12th House Can be Like a Reverse Mirror of Erised.

Especially if afflicted, will illustrate the kind of nightmares you have. [Pay attention to hard transits as well]. If in the sign of Cancer- losing family [think Molly Weasley’s Boggart]. Pluto here can be the worst especially I’ll aspected. All kinds of creatures can appear. Aries/Mars here, your dreams may often contain blood or broken bones. Pisces can equal water or nightmares can involve water/drowning. Libra, it can involve love or being betrayed by a lover. Taurus can involve finances/losing wealth. Insomnia can be found here if the with is full or if Mercury/moon live here.

Speaking of the 12th

Wherever Neptune is…

can show you what you daydream about/your wishes. In the 2nd you can daydream about what you would/could do with a lot of money. Neptune in the 9th means you dream about places you’ll travel. In the 6th, the “perfect” body. In the 8th, wishing for the sweet release of death [I know it got kinda dark there, but gotta keep it real], The 1st, wishing people would understand you or just wishing you could understand yourself better. Neptune in the 7th, the dream relationship. Neptune in the 4th, the “perfect” family, etc.

Mars in Virgo or Venus in Virgo are usually attracted to “model” types. They are attracted to “perfection”. These are also the type of people who enjoy activities like hiking/rock climbing. Anything that keeps them fit and healthy many personal trainers and Doctors have this placement.

Now that we’re on the topic of attraction: I’ve probably mentioned this before but your Venus sign is the type of lover you might find yourself attracting. If your Venus conjunct someone else’s ascendant or Sun, you’ll admire them. They’ll just seem like the only person in color while everyone else is in greyscale.

Air signs in or on the 6th house are typically ambidextrous. 3rd house Gemini’s and 3rd house Aqua’s as well.

Your money houses in earth signs often indicate those who wind up quite wealthy. Money/income Is solid and enduring. While money houses in fire signs often indicate those who make money quickly. Often have many careers. Do well in sales, trading, these folk need to be sure to save up and not blow through earnings too quickly.

If the Signs Were Languages…

Aries- Spanish. Full of life. Fire. Passionate.

Taurus- Arabic. Strong. Earthy. Guttural. Written reflects the beauty of Venus. Why calligraphy is a thing.

Aquarius- Basque. No one knows where you come from. No related language group. Captivating. Unusual. Language of rebels.

Pisces- Icelandic. Ethereal. Sing-songy. Sounds Elven and amaranthine. Otherworldly.

Capricorn Moons

Tend to get their value from working consistently. These are the individuals whose significant other will ask them to stop working as a birthday present or wish on anniversaries. It’s quite difficult for them to stop.

On a flip side, I’ve noticed Capricorn moon natives may have a cold or more distant relationship with their mothers. However, they may have a closer emotional relationship with their fathers

When you are upset, your Mars sign…

Will demonstrate how you will display that anger but the house your Mars falls in displays where you will play said anger out.

1st House Martians

Will likely demonstrate the anger on their face. It will show in their eyes. They may act it out quite immediately. They may instantly attack or maybe even yell. Have a quick comeback or retort to an argument

6th House Martians

May work out to exert their frustrations when angered. The types to start cleaning to get their minds off the object of their irritation.

10th House Martians

May bury themselves in work. Sleep at the office. Classic “success is the best revenge”

11th House Martians

May get on social media and vent to their entire network about what went down and how they feel they’re going to handle things

On Sexual Dysfunction…

Obviously, there are other contributing factors considering somebody’s lifestyle and perhaps formative trauma experienced early in life, etc. However, on a strictly astrological level:

• Saturn in hard aspect to anything is going to restrict or make things take longer. (Especially if he’s touching sexual planets/signs [like Venus/libra or Cancer/moon].)
• Chiron in sexual houses such as the 5th or the 8th (can demonstrate a sexual wound or a difficulty in reconciling sex with yourself even if you heal others with it)
• Chiron in feminine signs such as Libra or Cancer
• Mars squaring or opposing Uranus(can cause inconsistencies in Libido)
• A man’s Mars in Capricorn forming stressful aspects to the mooncan indicate someone who finds it difficult to ejaculate during intercourse. They May find it easier to cum if self-stimulating.
• Saturn in the 5th or the 8th (oppositions and squares) can be a contributor to the aforementioned issues as well.
• Pluto forming a difficult transit over sexual houses (5th, 7th, 8th) can cause an aversion/repulsion to sex.

On the other hand… Don’t get it twisted Saturn can restrict but can also add longevity. With that being said:

Placements That Can Indicate SexualAddiction

• Asteroid Nymphe (No. 875) in tight aspect (0-2/3 degrees) to the ascendant, Mars, Venus, or Pluto
• Mars Conjunct/square/opposite Pluto
• Mars in Scorpio
• 12th house stelliums, especially if said stelliums involve Venus, Mars, Moon, Pluto, or Jupiter (Neptunian influence can make one prone to addictions since this planet rules it)
• Pluto touching the ascendant (typically conjunction)
• Lilith forming tight and hard aspects to the rising, Mars, Venus, Sun, or Pluto
• I’ve noticed Capricorn placements or just earth placements, in general, can be addicted to sex though they often have mental blocks when it comes to finishing. The stamina is very high.
• Asteroid Eros (No. 433)- Where we get the term “erotic” in the 1st or tightly conjunction Mars, The ascendant, Sun, Moon.
• Asteroid Aphrodite forming hard aspects to Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus, or Pluto.
• Priapus (H33) - Priapus represents the uncontrollable urge to “merge”. If he’s forming a particularly tight aspect to the rising, Moon, Mars, Venus, Pluto, or sexual houses, this is a big indicator someone can’t get enough. If touching Jupiter… watch out.
• Asteroid Lust (No. 4386) touching rising in tight aspect, Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, etc.

Venus in the 11th or 11th House ruled by Libra

can flirt with friends, colleagues, their social network, or even complete strangers without knowing they are. They can invite crushes from people they view 100% platonically.

Saturn in the 3rd House

Can make someone feel like they aren’t as intelligent as everyone else (typically that is not the case at all). It may take them a long time to develop confidence regarding intellect. Usually, they can be extremely intelligent but have a fear of appearing unintelligent to others. In addition, they may suffer from abuse from others making them feel “less than” regarding their mental acumen.

FAMA means fame.

The asteroid itself, especially if touching the ascendant, the Sun, the 10th House can indicate that a native might achieve a certain level of popularity, prestige, or accolades. Note: Please look for tight orbs (0 to 3 degrees).

Venus in Capricorn

Tend to have a love for fashion just as much as Librans and Taureans. Anything expensive or name-brand will usually pique their interest. The finer things in life appeal to them.

Aquarians can spend more time within what most would call “La La Land”…

Than their zodiac cousins Gemini’s, Pisces, or Libras.
I’ve often found these air signs talking to themselves, coming up with fantastic scenarios, or just toeing the line (proudly) of conspiracy theorists. However, they’re often correct. The scientists in the movies the government SHOULD have listened to right before the aliens invade or the global cataclysm hits.

Your rising sign will [often] attract…

Individuals who deal with issues with that particular sign. For example, let’s say you have a Scorpio rising- individuals who struggle with their Plutonic side or PLutonic placements may be drawn to you. Why? They need to work out their issues and you’re literally wearing them on your face. They either see you as someone who can heal them or someone they want to be close to because you embody something they feel they “lack”. Another example is someone who has a Libra rising. They may find they attract individuals who have afflicted Venuses or Venus in Libra making harsh aspects to Neptune, Saturn, or Pluto.

Natives with Outer Planets (Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Pluto) on the Ascendant

are especially talented with manifesting. This is because outer planets have exorbitantly higher energetic potential when on the ascendant. The sun on the ascendant is also a great indicator of one with the ability to manifest easily.

Whatever Sign Your Moon Is In

will typically indicate where you get your emotional fulfillment. IN some capacity. Of course, I know all of you are incredibly intelligent and have surmised this by now, but I’ll reiterate because My Jupiter in Virgo can help but want to teach.

A Gemini moon- will get their emotional fulfillment from absorbing new information. From talking and chatting about their feelings with others. From having fun and socializing, even if some of their other placements are in more introverted signs.

An Aries moon- will get their emotional fulfillment from being and staying active. Playing sports, working out, being on the go.

A Libra moon- will get their emotional fulfillment from being spoiled and admired. They want to love everyone and want everyone to love them. They appreciate peace and want everyone to get along.

A Sagittarius moon- Will get their emotional fulfillment from travel, total freedom, good humor, or expanding their minds (on a higher level as opposed to a lower level, like Mercury which rules immediate intellect, not philosophy or religion).

Those who have their sun sign in the opposite sign as yours (Cancer/Cap, Leo/Aqua, Taurus/Scorpio, Virgo/Pisces, etc.)

Can either intimidate you/ you can’t stand them OR you can’t stay away from them/they’ll be your bestie or lover.


Contrary to Popular Belief, Leo Placements

love attention but they also like to be surrounded by people who are equally confident. They respect those who are free-to-be and don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks about them. They will likely keep you around if you have lots of faith in yourself and project self-assurance.

Moon in the 5th house

Are eternal children. There will always be something childlike with them even in their old age. In a chart of one who identifies as male, this is often the placement of the eternal player. Someone whose comfort zone lives among chasing skirts (or briefs). My father has his moon in the 5th and fidelity was never his strong suit lol.

Saturn in the 5th

can make someone very private about their sexual escapades and relationships. Often the analysis of this placement is one who takes a long time to get into a relationship (if at all) but when they do couple up, people may never know about it. Saturn can be almost as secretive as Pluto.

Since Venus is what we Value…

Those with Venus in Scorpio appreciate intense relationships. Not saying they love drama or toxicity or anything just saying, if it doesn’t have some Martian/Plutonian passion involved, they’ll get bored or won’t feel valued.

Virgo Stelliums

Often display extra vigilance regarding their body and health. I know I know you’ve all heard this before- but hear me out. It’s not just working out or dieting. It’s the minutiae regarding things as small as the positioning of their work stations. They’ll be the types to buy ergonomic keyboards to make sure their wrists/arms don’t suffer from carpal tunnel. They’ll buy eyeglasses with all the fixings: blue light blocking, high index lenses, etc. to make sure their eyes have all the protection they need.

Retrograde Planets in Synastry…

Will manifest quite potently. While direct, the energy between two people will be standard but a retrograde synastry will highlight more issues two people (or perhaps the individual bringing the retrograde energy to the relationship) will need to work on. For example, say someone has Venus square Mars in synastry with someone else but the Venus in question is retrograde. Self-worth might be a prevailing concern and the Mars person might trigger the retrograde Venus individual easier than someone with Venus direct (not the rule but often seen).

Women with Mars in Hard Aspect to Pluto…

Will undoubtedly either intimidate men or men will become obsessed with them. The reason being is Pluto always reflects. Pluto is a mirror. Mars is strength. Mars is also sex. Mars is a masculine sign so even those who identify as female having strong Martian/Plutonic influence will often display to men, attributes they secretly wish they could posses. As a result, men will project onto these women and either try to conquer them to satiate their egos or humiliate them to prove that they alone have the power. These placements (especially the oppositions, conjunctions, and squares) can often bring out the worst in men. Women with this placement need to take care to choose very secure individuals, perhaps even some with Plutonic influence that they have learned to control the shadow so they are not being bled on by those they didn’t cut.

Aquarian Venuses

Aqua 11th houses, Aqua stelliums, or just those with a multitude of inner Aquarius placements will often befriend or draw in outcast types. Their boyfriends/girlfriends may have had questionable or unsavory pasts. Friends who are seen as strange to others or just odd pairings. Even if the Aqua Venus person themselves appears prim and clean cut, they seem to be surrounded by rebel types. Kinda like the private school kid who makes straight A’s but has the biker gang show up to their sweet sixteen.

Everyone Hypes Up Venus/Pluto in Synastry …

but Moon-Mars, Venus-Jupiter, and Mars-Jupiter are probably the 3 aspects that can make people never forget each other. These there bohemoth placements will make people hunger for the other person (and all that that implies). Especially with Jupiter, the forgiveness might border on foolishness. You may need to cut someone off but you’re too addicted to the highs and indulgence to let go.

Speaking of Jupiter, Sagittarians

Can give Gemini’s a run for their money regarding wit. These fire signs are quick on the draw and always have a come back. They can leave people stumped sometimes because their humor is often cloaked with a hint of philosophy. You’ll realize you were insulted but breaking down the diss may become downright existential.

Arians and Scorpios

Don’t really care about making enemies. In fact they expect it.

Taureans and Libras (Venusian Ruled) on the other hand…

Often care about peace to the point where they attempt to be Switzerland in times of conflict (sometimes picking a side is necessary).

If you are Solar dominant

You should just make pace with the fact that you’ll be noticed even if you don’t want to be. Solarians also have GREAT hair.


Water Risings

Make great actors. This is because they are often extremely emotionally intelligent so they can use that to mimic said emotions to the public. Water midheavens are also gifted with this talent.

Asteroid Lucifer No. 1930

Will show you where your ego lies and the aspects this asteroid makes will display where you will deal with your Hubris the most.

Capricorn Suns and Moons

Can often be more blunt than Sag Suns or Mercuries. While a Sag may say something blunt and then apologize/ or try to have fun with you after, a Capricorn will drop the mike with a cold Saturnian stare and apologize maybe 3 or 4 years later. If they care enough.

If Pluto, Uranus, or Saturn are Anywhere Near Your Rising

Be prepared for people to feel intimidated by you. Sorry. There’s nothing you can do about it. Even if you’re friendly, they’ll still be on edge. Saturn will make them “fear you” or make them feel like you’re judging them. Uranus will make them feel like you’re too unpredictable. And Pluto, well, Pluto will make people feel like all your questions are loaded and that you’re probing them, even if you asked something as simple as “So, how was your weekend?”.

Cancerian Placements

I’ve noticed have very smooth and voluptuous features. The men tend to have full lips or happen to be quite virile.

Moon-Uranus

Folk can have capricious emotions. they can be angry one moment and over it the next due to uranian energy influencing their moon.

Moon- Saturn

I’ve often found bottle their emotions.

Virgo’s Born From August 23- 31st

Seriously behave very similarly to Leos. At times it’s hard to tell the two signs apart.


Leonine PLacements on the Sun or Rising


I’ve found have beautiful full manes of hair. Something about the Sun blesses these natives with very full and lustrous locks. On the flip side, if they don’t have hair on their heads, they may have fullness of hair other places on their body (chest, beards, eyebrows, etc.)

Mars-Saturn natives

Often have good posture (Mars=Physique, Saturn= Structure/discipline)

However, Mars- Uranus natives (hard aspects) can often be clumsy. Hand-eye coordination may not always be a strength. Adversely. Mars Uranus natives with flowing aspects can be very good at dancing and/or gymnastics. Contorting the body and sometimes at rapid speeds can come naturally.


Having Venus anywhere near the mid-heaven or 6th house of work and routine


Can gift someone with talent at photography. Neptune in the 6th as well. The planet of aesthetics and planet of imagination anywhere in your workhouses can make for auspicious careers in any of the visual arts. Walt Disney had his 6th house straddling Pisces and Annie Liebovitz has her Sun in Libra and Neptune in Libra. Mercury in the Libra in the 6th it 10th as well could be a placement that does well with this also.

When Someone’s Saturn is Forming a Harmonious Aspect to Your Mars…

(trine or sextile) they will undoubtedly know how to calm you down. This is because Saturn is the planet that rules grounded logic and the most developed form of maturity. When forming a smooth aspect to the planet of action, they can make even the most volatile of tempers see reason. They’ll be the ones who say

 “focus on the things you can control”.

As a result, you may find yourself having separation anxiety when they’re not around.

On the Other Hand, When Someone’s Saturn is Squaring Your Sun, Moon, or Your Mars…

you may experience getting your feelings hurt quite easily by them. It may often feel as though they are criticizing you or picking on you for shits and giggles. Always finding fault in what you do or making you feel as though what you do isn’t good enough. It’s important to have a strong sense of self if you have this in synastry with someone (platonic, familial, or romantic) otherwise, your self-worth could be affected.

I Feel Like This Isn’t Talked About Enough But Uranus Squaring Personal Planets…

Especially in synastry, can make two people have erratic responses to each other. Getting easily triggered or wanting to curse someone out when Uranus makes a square to the inner planets is very common. When Uranus is making a square to personal planets natally, this individual might be someone who has random outbursts. With Mars, it may have something to do with the temper. When the moon is involved, it may have something to do with their emotions. The fickle lover or the angry one moment, happy the next individual. To the Sun, this is the quintessential impulsive individual who cannot resist moving to the beat of their own drum. 

Capricorn Moons

Will use sarcasm to woo their love interest. The more they pick on you, the more they like you. Trust me.

Those With Uranus in their 11th house

might find themselves switching friend groups quite often throughout their lives. Consistency is not associated with Uranus the way it is with planets such as Saturn. As a result, this might be the social butterfly or the type to cut someone off at the drop of a hat.

Aries Moons

At their most underdeveloped can be the most insufferable brats. Often this is the person who was spoiled or coddled as a child and thinks it’s okay to have random outbursts or temper tantrums. The funny thing is, they’re over it in about a week or two. These individuals need to be careful, not everyone has such a short memory and they can find themselves alienating friends/loved ones and burning bridges at warped speed. 

Hurting Saturnian Dominants is NEVER a Good Idea

Why? Because Saturnian dominants are ruled by Lord of Karma. If you find yourself getting on one’s bad side, it might be a good idea to see where their Saturn falls into your houses, this is where you’ll be affected the most. 1st house and your sense of self will be where you’ll reap what you sow. 2nd house, your coins might take a hit. 6th house, work, and routine might suffer or your health might decline. 8th house- YIKES. finger’s crossed they’re not vindictive. 10th house, welp, better protect your rep. Your public image may be at stake.

Leo’s With Their Sun at an Aquarian Degree [11°, 23°]

I’ve observed like to do things alone. As social as the sign ruled by the Sun is, at a Uranian degree, they will often prefer to be solo dolo. Concerts, traveling, etc. This is the individual that will bite off their left arm before they have a roommate.

Though Virgo’s are notoriously known for their detail-oriented habits..

If their 6th house is in Pisces (and/or afflicted), they can actually miss many details in their Sun placement should make them naturally inclined to. These are the folks who can be very lax when it comes to work and routine. Head in the clouds. “I’ll do it later” types. Some may even be quite lazy.

An Aries 6th House on the other hand…

Might find themselves very “high functioning” regarding work and routine. With Ram energy running the show, they hate to wait. Needs things done yesterday. And God forbid you dawdle around them. They will bull-rush you out of the way to do it themselves. 

Sagittarian Moons (and Occasionally Suns)

Need you to keep it light. If you’re to categorize your friends, these are the types you party with first and share deep heart to hearts with last. Not that they’re incapable of depth but more so they function better when they’re able to laugh and enjoy the free-spirited aspects that life has to offer. They are quite uncomfortable with the heaviness of darkness and deep emotion and you might find them trying to change the subject just to stay upbeat. If these natives sense any “depressive” energy, they will split immediately.

Taurean Placements

Though ruled by the most sensual planet Venus, I’ve observed can be quite repressed when talking or expressing their sexual sides. They prefer to keep that under lock-and-key. If they trust you, however, they’ll be more expressive about it. I find these sun/moon/and rising’s BIG connoisseurs of erotica and NSFW fanfiction, lol. They are also kings and queens of poker faces/RBF.

In addition, Taureans tend to be hyper-focused on money. Not in a 

“let’s take over the world, Pinky” kind of way like Capricorns, but more so, worried they’ll never have enough (especially if one’s Chiron is in Taurus. Then finances/the material is where one wears their “deepest wound”.) Security is quite important to these folk. 

Back to Sagittarians

 if you hear a big booming voice or laugh, check to see if the culprit has their 2nd house, 3rd house, or Mercury in Jupiter’s sign. Jupiter rules expansion and if he’s touching the “voice” then he’ll likely expand it. A lot of singers, even if they’re soft-spoken, if they have Jupiter anywhere near their vocal cords will “project” more than normal. For example, Hayley Williams of Paramore fame has her Mercury at a Sagittarian degree. In addition, Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars has his Mercury in Sagittarius. Just listen to “From Yesterday” or “The Kill”- you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Capricorn Venuses

Appreciate gifts. Both giving and receiving as their love language. In fact, most earth signs appreciate things of the material when it comes to their love languages. Solid things. Tangible. Very much about the senses. Something they can clock and document. They will know the price of everything you buy them. Not in a facetious way, they’ll literally google the shit you buy to see how much it costs. How much you spend on them, in their minds, reflects how much you ‘value’ them.

Gemini Moons

LOVE to chat (if underdeveloped that chatter will warp to gossip). They know everything. About everyone. If their moon is squaring their mercury, never tell them a secret, ever. However, if their moon is forming a harmonious aspect to Pluto, they may like to hear the Gossip but are better at keeping their mouths shut.

On a positive note, a Developed Gemini Moon is typically the smartest person in the room.

This is because their curiosity expands across many borders, kinda like Hermes/quicksilver himself. They are walking encyclopedias. Their minds are mutable which makes them masters of knowing a little bit about this and a little of that. A Jack of all mental trades, if you will.

Gemini’s in General

Tend to have very long and lithe fingers. Perfect muses for art/paintings. For example, Naomi Campbell is a Gemini and her features are quite aquiline. Angelina Jolie’s hands are quite prominent. I find them standing out (yes, even before her lips) in photographs. Michelle Pfeiffer of Scarface fame has a Gemini rising and her waif-like figure became the go-to-physique of thousands of women in the 80′s.

Having Plutonian Synastry with Someone…

But you’d prefer to keep things strictly platonic can be extremely difficult. This is because Pluto never likes to keep things surface level. That’s Venus’s job. Superficiality and the like. Pluto rules house 8. Death. It’s all about the depths. here. Typically, the plutonic relationships that omit anything romantic or sexual tend to take on a Psychologist/chiatrist-patient dynamic. Maybe you won’t fuck them, but you’ll kinda become their therapist (or vice versa)

In addition, Plutonic synastry might make you feel an unnerving attraction to someone you’d NEVER think you’d be into. You know in your gut you don’t want them/they’re not your type but any sign of them desiring someone else and you become territorial. 

Pluto’s like that.

Plutonic synastry between parent and child could make the Parent obsessed with their kid. Yes, to some level, most parents are obsessed with their babies but strong (conjunctions, squares, or oppositions) between a parent’s Pluto and a Child’s inner planets can make the parent overbearing, hyper-involved, or weirdly psychic to the child and their needs. Healthy boundaries are important.

Speaking of Boundaries…

Heavy Neptune in Romance (5th, 7th, 8th, 12th ) houses or touching Venus can make someone lack boundaries in love. This is the person who will text your boyfriend knowing he’s been with you for 5 years or might make up stories about all their romantic conquests knowing full well they’re a virgin. Adversely, people may find themselves victims of people lacking boundaries with them if they have Neptune in any of these houses. 

Neptune in the 2nd

can make one have trouble seeing their value.

Virgo Stelliums get revenge by picking you apart.

In addition, Virgo Mars men can easily appear emaciated. As hyper-focused as this sign is on health and wellness, they are naturally prone to thinner builds and might have to work overtime to bulk up or maintain weight.

Sex With Your Opposite Sign Can Be Life-Changing or Traumatizing.

Mars opposing Mars typically works well in the bedroom even if two people clash everywhere else outside of it. Though it’s a common conception that Mars in hard aspect to Mars would cause body rhythms to mismatch, the tension can make sex quite cathartic. Squares may take some time. this is not the soft, gentle type of love. It would be more hard and fast.

Moon Opposite Neptune

in the natal chart can make someone a class A daydreamer. The type to come up with the Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks level ideas and stories. This is an ideal placement for anyone wanting to go into the arts as a profession or even art/tech school like RISD or MIT. However, it can also cause someone to deal with lots of doubt and paranoia. The key to reconciling this energy is remembering to check that neptunian fog. Consciously realizing Neptune is debilitating your mindset and actively overcoming the illusory nature of this placement, and you’re halfway there. 

Moon opposite Neptune can cause lots of self-deception as well. I find it helps to step back and evaluate. Talk to yourself like you would someone else in the same situation. Document things that occur/bother you in a journal the way they happen, not the way you perceived them to happen. Doubt and insecurity die when truth/facts are present.

Gemini Midheaven’s at Taurean Degrees [2° 14° 26°]

Often come across as very practical. These natives will not just write a book with Mercury ruling their 10th house, they’ll write a series. The earth degree (and their Virgo Rising) aids them with consistency that Gemini’s often lack. 

Those With Pluto in Hard Aspect to Lilith in The Natal Chart

Need complete freedom to express their sexual urges and instincts. They are formidable people who can often intimidate, whether they mean to or not. The drive is extremely powerful and these natives can have some of the highest libidos bar none. However, there can be a lot of trauma associated with sex. Often I’ve found that some of these natives have either been abused, have violent fantasies projected onto them, or can even be innocent when seeking love, but people/others taint or pervert things for them. If any of you watch HBO’s ‘Euphoria’, Jules’ character definitely has Pluto in hard aspect to Lilith (likely the square or opposition). 

Mars in the First House

in a female’s chart can add a masculine or “tougher”/”harder” exterior to their appearance. A sharper jaw, more muscle on the physique.

Whereas Venus

in the first house in a male’s chart, can soften or add a more effeminate touch to their appearance. Longer lashes, smoother skin, less hair, etc.

Men With Mars in Libra

cannot stand to fight. Will try to find the diplomatic route before they ever through a punch. However, if said Mars is afflicted or squaring Pluto or Saturn, this “diplomacy” can take the form of cruel Justice. 

Cancer Suns 

can actually be intimidating. I think it’s a common thing to say Astro sites comment on how “nurturing” or “sweet” a Cancer is, but Crabs first instinct is to “protect”. First and foremost, themselves. Which means they may be hard to get to know at first. Can be mistaken for their cousin’s, Scorpios. I’ve often found there is an intense connection with the mother/mother figure as well. for example, 50 Cent is a Cancer and if any of you have watched his show “Power” or “Raising Kanan” (all based loosely on his life) there is a common thread where the main character is unusually close to their mother. To the point where the mother is privy or even an accessory to the protagonist’s crimes. There’s also an element of “I’ll kill to protect you.” 

Those With Cancer Midheavens

Can often wind up in careers where “security” is a theme. I.e “trust and safety”, ADT or executives at “Ring”. Many may even take jobs as police officers to “protect and serve”. Cancer’s mantra.

When it Comes to Sense of Humor…

Check to see whose Sun or Mercury forms a harmonious aspect to your Jupiter. Jupiter rules humor. In addition, Sun conjuncting or trining Mercury or Venus could indicate the same tastes regarding what makes you happy or what stimulates the mind.

Though Taureans are Earth Signs and Ruled by Venus

many of them do not like to be touched unless you have a close relationship to them.

Water Mercuries

 or those who have Mercuries in a water degree [ Cancer 4° 16° 28°, Scorpio 8 °, 20 °, or Pisces 12° 24° ] have very seductive voices. Haunting and kinda slick/silvery. For example, Michelle Pfeiffer’s Mercury is at a Scorpio degree, Penn Bagley (Joe from You)’s Mercury is in Scorpio.

Mutable Mercuries (Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius)…

I’ve found are very good at imitating accents

Those with Aries Venus or Moons 

love people fighting over them romantically. The competition [Mars] makes them feel desired. Everyone thinks Gemini or Leo is the least faithful, but I’ve often found Arians are more likely to cheat. Especially once they get bored.

Those with Venus in Scorpio or Venus Aspecting Pluto

Can find it difficult to feel good sexually if they are in the middle of one of their plutonic transformations. Let’s say something traumatic has happened, it can go one of two ways- either they will abstain from sex completely and find it hard to even self-please OR they will use sex as a conduit for their grief.

If Virgo

is in the mix, this might manifest as difficulty desiring intimacy if they have gained (too much) weight or lost (too much) weight.

Speaking of Weight…

I was quite surprised by this sample from my research, but I’ve found that men with Mars in Libra are very into weight-lifting/bodybuilding. I surmise it has something to do with the “scales” if you will and Venus being about aesthetics/attractiveness. Mars is action and Libra is about equilibrium and symmetry. Translation: Mars [Body, drive] + Libra [balance, beauty]= gym rat.  

Contrary to Popular Belief

As opposed to the 11th house, you might be better off looking at your 4th house sign or ruler of your 4th when it comes to friends. Your 4th is typically the sign where your most unexpected friends will come from. Your soul family. 4th House sign in Aquarius? Give a chance to your local Uranian Alien. 4th in Aries? Martians will probably come to your defense at the drop of a hat. It’s the “kinship” theme of the 4th.

Since We’re On The Topic Of The 11th

You can look to this house to see what attitude your admirers will take towards you. Virgo 11th and your admirers will analyze and dissect your or your work. They will drink in you/your creative property and memorize it like broadway script lines. Aries 11th and your admirers will go to war for you. Leo 11th and your admirers will boast about you. Worship you like you’re Apollo himself. 11th House in Gemini and your admirers might flirt with you, want to chat with you always, or send you constant messages/letters. They will always want to communicate with you somehow. 11th House in Capricorn and your admirers may try to pay for things for you. Take care of you. Keep you financially stable. 11th house in Taurus, they’ll probably feed you or buy you gifts, etc.

12th House Composite Planets

Can make people unsure of why they’re drawn to each other, they just know that they are. They can even feel ashamed or fear the attraction they feel for the other person. Like this unconscious guilt about it. This is because 12th house rules fear.

Saturn in the 5th

can make someone the referee amongst their peers/friends. They are usually the one’s breaking up the rumbles

Venus in harmonious aspect to Saturn

(and especially if forming a midpoint/aspecting the rising)  is often indicative of someone who will age like fine wine. Very gracefully.

Mercury and Pluto Combined Can Make People Very Popular.

 I know this doesn’t seem like a thing and these two planetary energies combined may seem more loner, but popularity doesn’t always have to mean “well-liked”. Even if they are well liked, it’s possible there is a fascination with everyone wanting to get to know this person. Digging deep (Pluto) for intelligence (Mercury) on them. Mafia Boss John Gotti had his Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Gemini and was the most popular Don in the underworld. People loved him and hated him and even my mother to this day whenever he shows up on television spits off random trivia about the guy.

Those Who Have the Majority of their Inner Planets in the Last Decan of the Signs

are probably the people who come off as “mature for their age” or “old souls”. The babies that barely cried or the children who started speech early.

Aries Sun, Mercury and Rising are ELITE  at holding their own in an argument.

In a woman’s chart, I’ve observed Moon (reproduction) squaring Saturn (restriction/blockage) being and indicator of fertility issues.

Composite Pluto in the 2nd

 Usually indicates a couple that is possessive of each other. Not in the 1st house way where they want to consume you/your body but in a “you belong to me/ you’re my property” kind of way. It will be less toxic if the aspects to Pluto are harmonious but if there are afflictions to the house or the planets involved, two people may see each other as “trophies” as opposed to people. Lots of addiction and gluttony here.

Pisces 5th House or Moon in the 5th or 4th in the Composite

is quite sweet and dreamy. People will have a pure sacrificial love for each other.

If Saturn is in Your 1st House

you might come off with the temperament of  a Cap rising and only feel good about yourself if you are conquering or excelling somewhere in life. No phlegmatic energy here. Owning your own business might be a life long dream and where you get your self-esteem.

Having Your 4th House in a Fixed Sign

can be an indicator of wanting to control your home environment. It could be that you like things impeccably clean, or you could like everything to stay in the place you found it, even if things are messy. Fixed 4th house likely inherited this trait from a parent (usually the mother.)

Asteroid Eros or Asteroid Amor on your rising or touching any angle

Can make people fall in love with you quite easily. The Sun in the first house is also a culprit behind people being fascinated or obsessed with your “light”.

Men with harsh aspects to Lilith can be abusive towards women because they see the female as a natural “enemy”.

Fixed 10th houses

 likely have a desperate need to control how they are publicly perceived.

I see a very common trend of people marrying/ winding up with

 someone who’s has their Sun or Rising in the sign of the other person’s Venus, descendant sign, Juno or opposite sun sign.

So we know that Jupiter returns every 14 years to have you reflect on your growth and maturity and Saturn every 28-30 to reflect on your accomplishments and your goals but the Lunar Nodes are rarely spoken about…

The Lunar Nodes meet up every 18 years to press the restart button your trajectory in life. You’ll sit a a proverbial crossroads and begin to get all Socrates about your life. You’ll question everything. What you thought life was about may be completely shaken up. At 9 years, it’s the mid point of this return and the transit NN links up with transit SN. It’s a literal soul check and can feel quite unnerving. But you come out of it with a whole new outlook. Examples could be, thinking you’re one orientation at one point then realizing you might subscribe to another. Realizing you don’t want to live in the same country anymore. Your belief system/religion might change. Your career may take a whole new life of it’s own. Nodal returns can be mistaken for a Plutonic level transformations so be sure to clock them in your life/chart to see what might be in store.

December Astro Forecast

Happy Sagittarius season, Stargazers! We’re only 29 days from the start of the new year and the energy of Jupiter/Saturn’s run through the zodiac will be a doozy. You might already be feeling the effects with the eclipse energy permeating the skies. So without further ado, let’s take a look at what these next few weeks have in store for us.

December 1st — Moon Enters Scorpio and Neptune Goes Direct

Now, when Neptune’s Retrograde, this causes veils to be lifted and a few unsavory reality checks to hit you. So, during the time he was retrograde, things like the sleeping state/somnia cycles, altered states of mind including but not limited to: being high, drinking, catatonia, etc. Were all things many of us might’ve been struggling with. When he’s asleep those monsters under your bed come out to play. However, now that Poseidon’s clocked back in again, we may be able to catch those precious Z’s we’ve been missing out on. Temperance and moderation regarding spirits [libations not entities, lol] could be more in check for you, and synchronicities from the universe could be harassing you incessantly now. Don’t be surprised if soulmate stuff [including your friends] come about now that Neptune’s energy is back to normal.

December 4th — Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius

This shit right here. Right here this shit. This behemoth celestial occurrence has probably been running roughshod over you all already. Collectively, we’re likely feeling tired, dehydrated, moody, and this weird little thing with your libido might be overactive. More than a few of you might’ve noticed tensions high at work, customers or clients sounding agitated or patience running thin. Don’t try to run from it and you’re certainly not alone. Just remember you are still in control of your decisions and how you respond to what comes at you. Everything is a choice and Sag/Jupiter is the ruler of wisdom. Don’t be afraid to take advantage of what’s naturally available to us during this time. In addition, don’t be afraid to open yourself up to things you might’ve written off. Might be a good time to respond to that guy/girl you left on “read” in your DM’s or take that staycation/vacation you’ve been putting off.

December 12th — 12/12 Portal

Another portal opening. This gateway will open up a much needed cleansing of old ways. A time for letting go and sacrifice. In tarot, the number 12 is the card of the Hanged Man who represents letting go and release. You’ll find that this day is pretty much a magnet for manifesting. Lots of luck here.

December 13th — Mars Enters Sagittarius

Mars enters the jolly but philosophical sign of the Archer for the next six weeks. Get ready to get a cosmic injection of thrills and ragers. Seriously, Mars in this sign is what Dreamworks action/adventure films are made of. You might find yourself fueled by wanderlust and passion. You might even download Duo-Lingo and try your hand at that foreign language you’ve always wanted to learn. Just be mindful not to be too impulsive. As Mars is a fire planet and Sag is a fire sign, our drive might burn to strong to quickly. Use Jupiter’s wisdom to think before you act. 

December 18th — Full Moon in Gemini 

Gemini energy ruling the moon here means you might find your mental faculties going a mile a minute. Everything will interest you and everyone will be a source of curiosity. Very friendly/social energy. Since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, you’ll intellectualize your emotions today and everything will be quite cerebral. You might even find you’re a chatty Cathy. Just don’t dry snitch on yourself. Not everyone needs to know your business. Those of you who practice/who plan on doing full moon rituals might find that spells regarding the mind or just increasing cleverness might be ideal during this time. In addition, those of you who may have natal placements in Gemini, pay attention- you might find this energy quite potent that day.

December 19th — Venus Retrograde in Capricorn and Chiron Direct

Venus takes a sabbatical in the Earthy and Saturnian sign of the seagoat. During this time, you’ll find that there will be a bit of internalization of everything the planet stands for. Themes tend to play out inwardly and affect psychological states. Therefore, expect matters related to the five senses, financial and material possessions, love, fertility in the literal and figurative senses, harmony and justice, aesthetics, relationships, and negotiations to be at the core of your thoughts. However, this is also a time to use discernment [which may be easier since Saturn is all about rationalization as apposed to emotion]. Sense and sensibility. Now is the time to set healthy boundaries with the people you love. It’s okay to say “No."  It might be a challenging time for relationships but you are not responsible for other people’s feelings or their happiness. Now, this is not a free pass to be cruel but if you are labeled a “bitch” for sticking up for yourself and your mental health, so be it. Be a bitch. Do what you want. You’ll get more respect but laying down the law and taking care of you.

December 21st — Winter Solstice [Sun in Capricorn]

Blessed Yule to those who celebrate! Solstice is a time when the sun rises on the exact same latitudinal (declinations) degree. So this is the only time of the year that the sun actually stops it’s movement northward and or southward in our sky. It makes sense that time is literally stopped when Father time, AKA, Saturn starts running the show. Make that wishlist for 2022 because Father Karma will be blessing us with what we discipline ourselves with/focus on moving forward. The work we’ve done or have been doing we’ll be reaping the rewards for. In addition, what you haven’t been taking care of or what you’ve neglected might catch up to you so take care to tighten up wherever you’ve been slacking. Huge activations in consciousness. Turn your focus towards our long term goals, career, public image and prestige. 10th House things, which Saturn/Cap rule.

December 23rd — Saturn Square’s Uranus

This time brings restrictive change or unexpected changes. Can be a frustrating time when these two outer planets are at odds. Stay open minded. Stay patient and flexible, what may seem like a challenge at first might actually be an opportunity cloaked as a ‘headache’. Use this time to rid yourself of things that are limiting you in life. Delete those numbers. Mute/block/restrict/unfollow whoever you have to. You may also realize what bad habits or outdated belief systems are blocking your forward progression. Don’t force change- just try to adapt. This time in particular isn’t the time to overreact to or resist things that come at you. Creativity may also feel blocked at this time so utilize a well-thought out, methodical and calculated approach to things.

December 25th — Venus Conjunct Pluto

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! During what should be a merry time, we have Venus retrograde in Capricorn conjuncting transformative Pluto for the third and final time [there will also be a conjunction between these two planets on Dec 3rd and 11th.] Those of you with this natal placement might know exactly what to expect >:). For the rest of you, expect intense and obsessive feelings to come to the forefront, especially in matters regarding love. There can be a strong boost in the sex drive but some clinginess and possessiveness as well coming from or being projected onto you. Exes may come back confessing their wrongs or an old flame who may not have graduated to significant other may contact you for some cold hard lovin’. Choice is yours.

 December 28th — Jupiter in Pisces

Jupiter in it’s home sign of Pisces [Yes, I said that right- Jupiter is the ancient ruler of the fishes] will bring good luck and opportunities through creativity, intuition and compassionate energy. Random acts of charity could come back to you ten-fold. Pay it forward at the coffee shop or give that homeless man on the turnpike the other-half of your sandwich. ‘Tis the season, you know? Idealism, and tenderness will be rewarded richly. Plus, Altruism is good for the complexion ;).

December 30th — Mercury Conjunct Pluto

Time for deep talks. Those topics you’d never though you’d be able to discuss with anyone. Serious topics while at the same time getting to the bottom of what really fuels you and what your goals are. Why you’re ambitious about what you’re ambitious about and all that that implies. This is also a good time for detective work as these two planets fusing together energetically are the stalker investigative placement, lol. Just be curious, not invasive ;).

Full moon in Pisces September 20th, stargazers. You may have already been feeling the effects. Full moons, especially in water signs where the moon feels the most comfortable, are said to be times of illumination and revelations, It is also a time of ripening, completion and release [those with water placements on inner planets or Pisces placements in inner placements will want to pay extra close attention.] Since Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, this full moon is the culmination of a full moon cycle. You’ll be feeling it’s effects most intensely today through the 24th.

What you can expect

• Lucid/Vivid dreams/premonitions
• Periods starting earlier than normal [sorry]
• Sudden bursts of emotion that seem to come out of nowhere
• Heightened sensitivity [within yourself and others]
• Feeling more introverted
• Feeling extremely sensual
• Someone might admit to how much they love you- expect confessions of love or admiration from someone. You can also expect apologies during this time.
• Sudden bursts of imagination/creativity [Neptune rules this sector, be sure to jot down those million dollar ideas!]
• High Pitched Ringing in the ears [Neptune rules spirit world so the veil is a bit thinner]
  
• More rain. More cloudy overcast days.
• Intuition on overdrive/being eerily accurate [Don’t ignore your gut feelings during this time]
• Situations with lovers or friends reaching full circle moments. This could be a long overdue ending to a toxic partnership or cutting ties with people/bonds that no longer serve you. 
• Healing from connections that’ve ended before this full moon cycle. [releasing resentment, anger, frustration, need for control-etc. Scorpios, Taureans and fire signs, I’m talking to you ;).]
• The urge to indulge in mind altering states. Please drink/partake responsibly. Be safe.
  
  
  

How to Handle This Energy

• Engage in creative writing or artistic projects. The time is ripe for broadening your consciousness and perception.
• Meditate, specifically doing 2nd Chakra Work which is the Chakra that Jupiter rules. Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces. Having sounds of rain and the ocean can helps as well.
• 3rd eye Chakra work which rules intuition
• Drink Mugwort, Chamomile, or Lavender teas
• Get connected with Water [Go swimming in a pool in the evening and just let yourself float with your face towards the moon]- It might still be warm enough for you to do so.
• Take a hot bath [not shower]. Throw whatever herbs or oils you want in them
• Drink Wine [responsibly please, lol.]
• Cry. Don’t try to be a tough guy about it, just let it out.
• Charge your decks, crystals/stones and/or cleanse your tools
• Put an end to unhealthy habits or addictions. I know it’s tough to go cold turkey but sometimes you must.
  
  
  

Astrological Apects to note

• Grand trine in air- Mars, Saturn, & North Node: Focused deliberate and disciplined energy. This will assist with effective communication to follow through on plans and goals.
• Cardinal T- Square- Mercury opposing Eris [planet of discord] & squaring Pluto: Possibility of potential power struggles that can lead to some nasty fights or communication that can wound. Be sure to use your words to heal not harm.
• Yod- Venus at the Apex, Chiron and asteroid Ceres as the base: Prime aspect for profound healing as well as hurting. However with Pisces moon in the mix, healing may take precedence.
• Venus in Scorpio/Mars in Libra in mutual reception-Venus in Scorpio conjunct asteroid Toro and Opposing Uranus: Protect your boundaries. Be strategic. Stand your ground. Stick up for yourself. Remember, you deserve sugar, not salt. Don’t let bitches try you and never let an F-Boy prosper.
  

If you’ve been feeling too critical, too much rigidity, or overwhelmed with stressors out of your control as of late, this lunation can aid in letting you release many of those psychological and emotional burdens. Full moons [and in Pisces in particular] symbolize release, rest & rejuvenation. You’ll feel more at peace. Connect with the energy, don’t fight it. Step out of your rational mind for a moment and let your intuition guide you. Whatever triggers you during this period is just revealing to you what you need to heal. Look at what house Pisces rules and pay attention to which planets or points the fishes are sitting in for you, this is where you’ll be affected the most. Whatever comes, let it. Whatever goes, let it.
