May 2024 Horoscopes for all Zodiac Signs

astrologyanonymous27Leave a comment

After the Solar Eclipse and Jupiter-Uranus conjunction last month, we are in need of a cosmic break.

The month begins with the Sun and Venus transiting Taurus, putting the focus on love, beauty and pleasure for the greater part of the month. Taurus reminds us to work hard and play even harder. As one of the most sensual signs of the zodiac, Taurus season beckons us to indulge our senses and appreciate the beauty around us.

The New Moon on May 7th-8th in Taurus is exactly sextile Saturn, a very supportive aspect. The New Moon is a time to set intentions and launch new projects. With the sextile to Saturn, this new moon supports realistic and grounded goals and aspirations.

There are a few powerful days during May that should be noted, given the presence of so many planets in Taurus: On May 13th, the Sun and Uranus will be conjunct in Taurus. On this day, you may receive a major surprise or unexpected news.

On May 18th, Venus will also meet up with Uranus in Taurus, and the Sun will also be conjunct Jupiter in Taurus. This indicates a day full of surprises, positive vibes, and enjoying the beauty around you. You will definitely ‘feel’ the effects of these conjunctions if you have any planets or points at 25 degrees in hard aspect to this point.

On April 30th, Mars enters the sign of Aries, where it will remain until June 9. During this time, we feel more courageous, brave, and ready to take action. Use this energy to go after what, and who, you want, but guard against impulsive and thoughtless actions.

The Full Moon on May 23rd falls in Sagittarius at 3 degrees, opposite Jupiter and Venus, sextile Pluto and trine Neptune. This full moon encourages you to expand your worldview, travel, and quench your thirst for adventure, but there might be a tendency to overreach and overdo.  On that day, Venus and Jupiter in Taurus will be exactly sextile Neptune, which is a beautiful, dreamy aspect indicating increased beauty, love, and creative inspiration.

On May 25th, Mars reaches the eclipse April 8th eclipse point, intensifying the energy of that eclipse. Because the solar eclipse occurred during Mercury retrograde, the Mars eclipse point transit can point to action and decisions related to the events of last month.

Jupiter enters Gemini, an air sign, the next day on May 26th. For the next year, Jupiter will bring growth and expansion to intellectual communication, a thirst for curiosity, and a need for variety. Use this transit to expand your horizons and open your mind to themes related to the house it transits in your chart.

The Quincunx in Synastry

astrologyanonymous27Leave a comment

Sextiles and trines are harmonious, and point to basic understanding between the planets and points. Squares and oppositions can point to frictions, but also growth and fascination, because the signs are of the same modality. Heck, even semi-sextile signs can share the same quadrant, which can at least indicate some understanding.

The quincunx, on the other hand, indicates a 150 degree orb between two planets or points. This aspect is a tricky one, as the two signs do not have much in common. Nevertheless, quincunx aspects can generate a lot intrigue because the two signs are so different. There is a potential to learn a lot from one another, especially if the couple has other harmonious synastry aspects between them. This aspect requires adjustments and empathy, and a willingness to keep an open mind.

The Astrology of Divorce

astrologyanonymous27Leave a comment

Divorce can be very hard to predict, but astrology can help us determine what kinds of aspects would make a divorce more likely. In this article, we discuss which aspects can point to divorce in the natal chart and composite chart, as well as transits and progressions that point to breakups and separation.

Natal chart aspects:

Uranus

The planet Uranus represents freedom, change, and independence. When it is connected to the 7th house, an erratic and unpredictable romantic life is indicated. Some people with strong Uranus in their charts don’t bother marrying at all, while others opt for unconventional relationships. Many Uranian folks also tend to get into on-off relationships that start and end very quickly. As a result, Uranus is usually strongly connected to the 7th house of divorcees.

Here are some aspects to look out for:

  • Uranus in the 7th house: Uranus is the planet or freedom, unpredictability and instability, so its presence in the 7th house of partnership can indicate divorce
  • Uranus in hard aspect to the Ascendant: Uranus conjunct, square or opposite the Ascendant can indicate unstable relationships and quick beginnings and endings.
  • Uranus in hard aspect to the ruler of the 7th house
  • Uranus in hard aspect to a planet in the 7th house
  • Uranus in hard aspect to Venus

Examples:

  • Kim Kardashian’s 7th house ruler, Mercury, is conjunct her natal Uranus
  • Kanye West’s 7th house ruler, Saturn, is square his natal Uranus
  • Ariana Grande’s Uranus is exactly conjunct her Ascendant, and opposes her 7th house Mercury
  • Elizabeth Taylor has an exact Venus-Uranus conjunction
  • Brad Pitt has Uranus square Ascendant
  • Kris Jenner’s 7th house ruler, Neptune, is square Uranus
  • Angelina Jolie ‘s Ascendant and Venus are square Uranus
  • Ben Affleck’s Ascendant and Venus are square Uranus

Neptune

The planet Neptune represents dreams, illusions, and deception. When it is connected to the 7th house, an very romantic and spiritual romantic life is indicated. It indicates the native is very idealistic when it comes to love and romance, and tend to see their partners through rose-colored glasses. The native tends to fall in love with who they think or hope their partner is, rather than who they actually are. Neptunian individuals tend to see the best in others and ignore red flags, leading to much disappointment later on.

It is thus unsurprising strong Neptune contacts are commonly seen in the charts of divorcees.

Here are some aspects to look out for:

  • Neptune in the 7th house: Neptune is the planet of illusions, deception and dreams, so its presence in the 7th house of partnership can lead to separation
  • Neptune in hard aspect to the Ascendant: Neptune conjunct, square or opposite the Ascendant can indicate idealistic and unrealistic relationships
  • Neptune in hard aspect to the ruler of the 7th house
  • Neptune in hard aspect to a planet in the 7th house
  • Neptune in hard aspect to Venus

Examples:

  • Ariana Grande’s Neptune is exactly conjunct her Ascendant, opposite her 7th house Mercury
  • Nicole Kidman’s Venus is square Neptune
  • Liz Taylor’s 7th house ruler, Mercury, is opposite Neptune
  • Kim Kardashian’s Venus is square Neptune
  • Jennifer Garner’s 7th house ruler, Saturn, is opposite Neptune

Jupiter

Jupiter was strongly in some of the divorce charts I looked at, although not as strongly as Uranus and Neptune. Jupiter is the sign of abundance, so when it is associated with the 7th house, it can point to someone who will have several relationships throughout their life. This does not necessarily mean divorce, but it can indicate several marriages, especially if the individual has other divorce aspects in their chart.

Aspects to consider:

  • Jupiter in hard aspect to Venus
  • Jupiter in hard aspect to 7th house ruler
  • Jupiter in the 7th house

Pluto

Pluto was featured strongly in some of the divorce charts I looked at, as well. Pluto is the sign of death and rebirth, so it makes sense that some divorcees have this planet connected to their 7th house.  In the worst case, it is often betrayal, abuse, and/or power struggles that breaks the couple apart.

Aspects to consider:

  • Pluto in hard aspect to 7th house ruler
  • Pluto in hard aspect to Venus
  • Pluto in the 7th house

Synastry & Composite

Whether a couple gets divorced can be seen via the Composite chart.

What about Synastry? In my opinion, the Composite chart paints a more accurate picture of divorce potential in a chart. Why? Synastry shows how you affect each others, and how you feel each other, while the Composite is the chart of the relationship itself. In astrology, the relationship is a separate entity in itself, so we can determine the ultimate fate of a relationship more accurately.

As with natal chart aspects, Uranus and Neptune aspects are largely seen in the Composite Charts of divorced couples.

This is because Uranus represents instability and unpredictability, which can lead to abrupt endings and beginnings. The relationship is usually very exciting and refreshing, but also unreliable and frustrating. These types of relationships tend to begin out of the blue, and usually bring together two people who are not each other’s usual type. Feelings develop quickly, but unfortunately might dissipate very quickly, leading to an abrupt end.

Composite Uranus aspects to look out for:

  • Composite 7th house ruler in hard aspect to the Composite Uranus: This indicates a relationship that is erratic, unstable, unpredictable, yet exciting and unconventional. When Composite Uranus is conjunct, square or opposite the Composite 7th house ruler, the commitment between the partners can be shaky and unreliable.
  • Composite Uranus in the 7th house: The 7th house represents commitment and partnership, so having Composite Uranus in this house can indicate a lack of long-term commitment, especially if it makes unfavourable aspects to the 1st or 7th house ruler(s).
  • Composite Uranus in hard aspect to the Ascendant: This aspect points to disruptions, unpredictability, and instability in the relationship, and can result in abrupt beginnings and endings.

Examples:

  • Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s Composite 7th house ruler, Mars, is square Uranus
  • Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Composite Uranus sits exactly on their Composite Ascendant, opposite their Composite Mercury on the Descendant.

Neptune tends to cloud our judgement to the point we ignore enormous red flags waving in our faces.  Under Neptune’s influence, we are wearing rose-colored glasses and feel we have found our soulmate in our partner. This planet is sweet, loving, and fantasy-like, which is intoxicating and addictive to each partner.

Unfortunately, Neptune is strongly featured in the composite charts of couples where one, or both, of the partners eventually feels deceived by the other. Self-deception is perhaps an even stronger problem in these cases. In the end, these relationships can end in much disappointment and heartbreak, and a feeling the marriage was based on a lie. Now, Neptune does not guarantee a divorce, but it at least points to some deception (or self-deception) and disappointments along the way. In fact, it is possible the couple will separate and reunite many times due to the dreamy, fantasy-like connection they share.

  • Composite 7th house ruler in hard aspect to the Composite Neptune: This indicates a relationship that is idealistic and spiritual, but also illusory, deceptive, and confusing. When Composite Neptune is conjunct, square or opposite the Composite 7th house ruler, a lack of boundaries and honesty with each others can lead to Tdisappointment and separation later on
  • Composite Neptune in the 7th house: The 7th house represents commitment and partnership, so having Composite Neptune in this house can indicate loose boundaries and commitment issues, but it can also indicate a beautiful and idealistic relationship. How Neptune is aspected is very important, so assess the aspects to Composite Neptune in detail.
  • Composite Neptune in hard aspect to the Ascendant: This aspect can indicate confusion, lack of boundaries, and dishonesty in the relationship, which can lead to disappointment and separation.

Examples:

  • Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s Composite 7th house ruler, Venus, is opposite Neptune
  • Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Composite 7th house ruler, Mars, is square Composite Neptune

Transits & Progressions

There are several transits and progressions that can point to a separation or divorce. If someone is going through a divorce, they will be able to see it in their transits and Progressions.

Transits

Uranus transits to relationship points indicate sudden and unexpected separations and breakups

  • Transiting Uranus in hard aspect the 7th house ruler
  • Transiting Uranus in hard aspect to the Ascendant (conjunct, square, opposite)
  • Transiting Uranus in the 7th house
  • Transiting Uranus in hard aspect to Venus

Neptune transits to relationship points indicate confusion, deception, and disillusionment, which can lead to separations and breakups

  • Transiting Neptune in hard aspect to the 7th house ruler
  • Transiting Neptune in hard aspect to the Ascendant (conjunct, square, opposite)
  • Transiting Neptune in the 7th house
  • Transiting Neptune in hard aspect to Venus

Pluto is the planet of death and transformation. When it touches a relationship point in your chart, your partnership transforms in some way, sometimes in the form of a separation or divorce.

  • Transiting Pluto in hard aspect to the 7th house
  • Transiting Pluto in hard aspect to the Ascendant (conjunct, square, opposite)
  • Transiting Pluto in the 7th house
  • Transiting Pluto in hard aspect to Venus

Saturn transits are like the “final nail on the coffin” transits that forces a final decision to split.

  • Transiting Saturn in hard aspect the 7th house ruler
  • Transiting Saturn in hard aspect to the Ascendant (conjunct, square, opposite)
  • Transiting Saturn in the 7th house
  • Transiting Saturn in hard aspect to Venus

Progressions

There are so many progressions that can point to relationship changes. Progressions usually mirror transits, so you will often see the same planets involved in both charts. For example, my progressed Venus was square my natal Saturn when I went through a break up. On the day we broke up, transiting Saturn was exactly square my natal Venus.

Examples of what to look for in the progressed-to-progressed chart (this is not an exhaustive list):

  • Hard aspects between the progressed Descendant and progressed Saturn Uranus, Pluto, or Neptune (for example, progressed Ascendant conjunct progressed Pluto)
  • Hard aspects from progressed 7th house ruler to progressed Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Neptune
  • Progressed Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune in hard aspect to planet in the progressed 7th house

I personally love looking at the progressed chart on its own, as it paints a picture of the present and gives us a lot of insight into upcoming events.

Natal to progressed aspects are also very important to consider, as they also offer great insights and information.

Examples of what to look for in the natal-to-progressed chart (this is not an exhaustive list):

  • Hard aspects between the natal Descendant and progressed Saturn Uranus, Pluto, or Neptune (for example, progressed Saturn conjunct natal Descendant)
  • Progressed Descendant in hard aspect to natal Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune
  • Hard aspects from natal 7th house ruler to progressed Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Neptune
  • Progressed Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune in hard aspect to planet in the natal 7th house

April 2024 Horoscopes for all Zodiac Signs

What does April 2024 have in store?

This month begins with Mercury in retrograde (April 1-25, 2024). During this time, confusion, communication issues, and technological breakdowns tend to surface. Unresolved issues from the past may pop back into your life, forcing you to face them head-on. People from the past may re-enter your life, as well. This is a time to review, re-assess, and tie up loose ends. It is important to not make major decisions during a Mercury retrograde transit, as communication problems and crossed wires are a hallmark of this retrograde.

There is a Solar Eclipse at 19 degrees Aries on April 8, 2024! This eclipse will usher in new and exciting beginnings in your life, so use this time as an opportunity to start fresh. In conjunction to Chiron, this eclipse represents an opportunity to work through and heal our innermost wounds.

On April 11th, 2024, retrograde Mercury will be conjunct the Sun (also known as Mercury Cazimi). On this day, new information related to a past issue or event may present itself to you. Use this opportunity to hear the other person out and show your vulnerabilities.  Since this conjunction is in Aries, be sure to remain calm and patient in your dealing with others, and resist the urge to speak too impulsively.

Later in the month, on April 20th, 2024, Jupiter will reach a conjunction with Uranus in Taurus at 21 degrees Taurus. Expect unexpected announcements and surprises on this day. There will be an electricity in the air on this day, and it is best to leave your agenda as flexible as possible.

Finally, a full moon in Scorpio takes place on April 23rd, 2024. This will be a particularly intense full moon, and will bring major transformations, secrets and scandals to the forefront.

Marriage indicators in the Composite Chart

astrologyanonymous27

The composite chart is an extremely insightful tool in astrology compatibility analysis. However, it can be difficult to determine the marriage potential of a relationship when you do not know what to look for!

I’ve studied many composite charts of married couples and have noticed some patterns I’d like to share with you.

Keep in mind: One aspect or placement will not determine whether or not you will marry someone; the full Composite chart must be analyzed. 

Stelliums

Having 3 or more planets conjunct in your composite chart is very powerful. The most powerful are conjunctions involving the composite Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury and Mars.

The stellium is even more powerful when it is aspected by outer planets. I favor easy aspects from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto to the composite stellium, but I see hard aspects just as often in the composite charts of married couples.

With hard aspects, the couple will face more challenges in their relationship, but the relationship can still be long lasting and committed.

Do you need a stellium in a composite chart for marriage? No; I’d say stelliums are ideal, but I’ve seen plenty of composite charts of married couples with more ‘spaced out’ planets (though, they usually have at least a couple of conjunctions). Other placements and aspects can certainly indicate marriage, as described below.

Ruler of the 7th house

The ruler of the seventh house is a very important planet to analyze in the composite chart. The seventh house represents formalized commitment, and gives clues in regards to the longevity of a relationship.

To determine your Composite 7th house ruler, check out the chart below:

  • If your Composite 1st house is in Aries, the 7th house ruler is Venus
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Taurus, the 7th house ruler is Pluto
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Gemini, the 7th house ruler is Jupiter
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Cancer, the 7th house ruler is Saturn
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Leo, the 7th house ruler is Uranus
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Virgo, the 7th house ruler is Neptune 
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Libra, the 7th house ruler is Mars
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Scorpio, the 7th house ruler is Venus
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Sagittarius, the 7th house ruler is Mercury
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Capricorn, the 7th house ruler is the Moon
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Aquarius, the 7th house ruler is the Sun
  • If your Composite 1st house is in Pisces, the 7th house ruler is Mercury

A well-aspected seventh house ruler can indicate a relationship in which both partners are very committed to the relationship.

Here are some aspects I’ve commonly seen in the charts of married couples:

  • Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct, sextile or trine the ruler of the composite 1st house
  • Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct, sextile or trine composite Juno
  • Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct, sextile or trine composite planets (especially Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn)
  • Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct the composite Angles (AC, DC, MC, IC)
  • Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct composite Vertex
  • Ruler of the composite 7th house conjunct composite North or south node
  • Ruler of the composite 7th house in Libra

Do you need a well-aspected 7th house ruler for marriage? In my opinion, YES! The 7th house ruler represents your love and commitment towards each other. The Composite 7th house ruler in square aspect to Saturn, for example, can indicate difficulty formalizing your commitment. A square from Composite Uranus to the Composite 7th house ruler can indicate an on-off, unpredictable relationship. A trine from Composite Saturn, on the other hand, can indicate longevity in the relationship, as well as formalized commitment (if the rest of the chart agrees).

5th and 7th house planets

The 5th house represents love, romance, dating, and creativity, so Composite planets in this house (especially Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter) indicates a fun and dynamic relationship. There may be a strong desire to have children together, as well. Be sure to analyze the ruler of the Composite 5th house to determine whether babies are in the cards for you and your partner!

The 7th house represents commitment and partnership, so Composite planets in this house (especially Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) can indicate a powerful connection. In this relationship, the couple feels like a ‘team’, and enjoy being around each other.

5th house and 7th house placements alone do not guarantee marriage, but they are nice additions and can increase the attraction and feeling of unity between the couple. 

Libra Planets

Some of the longest lasting relationships I’ve seen have Composite inner planets in the sign of Libra. 

Libra is the sign of love and partnership, as well as fairness, cooperation and harmony. When a couple has their composite Inner plants in Libra, they are natural partners for each other and find it easy to commit to one another. Being together just feels ‘right’.

I personally know 3 couples with challenging Composite charts, but they come across as the perfect couples and have stayed together for many years. What they all have in common is Composite stelliums in Libra (and their 7th house rulers were well aspected).

Placements to look out for:

  • Composite Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and/or North Node in Libra
  • Composite Ascendant in Libra
  • Ruler of Composite 1st house in Libra
  • Ruler of Composite 7th house in Libra

Vertex

The Vertex is often referred to as the ‘point of Fate,’ so it is usually powerfully placed in the charts of married couples. It points to couples who are ‘meant to be’. 

Common composite Vertex aspects in the charts of married couples:

  • Composite Vertex conjunct Descendant
  • Composite Vertex in the seventh house (especially if conjunct or opposite a Composite planet)
  • Composite Vertex conjunct the ruler of the Composite house 1, 4, 5, or 7
  • Composite Vertex conjunct or opposite North Node
  • Composite Vertex conjunct Composite Juno, especially if in the 7th house

Composite to natal chart comparison

Comparing each persons natal chart to the Composite chart is a valuable tool in relationship analysis. It is important that both partners have strong inter-aspects with the Composite Chart to ensure mutual commitment. 

Here are a few examples of Composite-to-natal aspects you should look out for:

  • Composite Chart planets conjunct natal angles 
  • Composite Chart angles conjunct natal planets
  • Composite Chart North Node conjunct or opposite natal planets and angles (and vice versa)
  • Composite Chart Vertex conjunct or opposite natal planets and angles (and vice versa)
  • Conjunctions and oppositions between natal planets and Composite planets
  • House overlays to 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, and 8th houses (Composite planets in Natal houses, and Natal planets in Composite houses)

 

This is not an exhaustive list, and I will continue to add to it as I discover more important aspects and placements.

House Overlays: Who Feels What?

astrologyanonymous27

A question I’m often asked is: who feels what in a house overlay in synastry?

Meaning: if my Sun is in your 7th house, for example, who feels the energy most? Does the planet person feel the connection more, or is it the house person who feels it most? Keep reading to find out!

How does the house person feel?

Each of the 12 astrological houses represent different areas of your life, and how you approach these areas of our life.  The way you approach each area of your life will take on a different tone, depending on the sign on the cusp.

For example, someone with Capricorn on the cusp of the 2nd house may have a responsible and mature attitude towards money; in other words, they spend money like a Capricorn. Someone with Sagittarius on the cusp of the 7th house may have more of a carefree attitude towards relationships; they approach relationships like a Sagittarius. Someone with Cancer on the cusp of the 3rd house may be defensive and emotional in their communication.

(Of course, your attitudes and approaches to the areas represented by these houses are influenced by planets falling in these houses, as well as house rulers.)

When someone’s planet falls in one of your houses, they bring the energy of that planet into the area of your life. It is as though you are going through a transit of your partner’s planet to your house when you are with them.

If someone’s planets fall into your:

  • 1st house: the planet person impacts your personality, identity, and self-expression. 1st house overlays bring attraction, and you likely feel ‘seen’ by the planet person.
  • 2nd house: the planet person influences your attitude towards money, self worth, and values. This overlay relates to security and possessiveness in the relationship. 
  • 3rd house: the planet person impacts intellectual interests, learning, and communication. 3rd house overlays generally suggest shared intellectual interests and mental connection. 
  • 4th house: the planet person influences your home, family and roots. This overlay can indicate deep emotional bonds, security, and nurturing. 
  • 5th house: the planet person influences your attitude towards fun, romance, dating, creativity and children. This overlay invokes feelings of joy and passion, as well as fun and creativity. 
  • 6th house: the planet person influences your health, work, and daily routines. This overlay suggests responsibility, support, and improvement within the partnership. 
  • 7th house: the planet person impacts partnership, sharing and cooperation. This overlay indicates a strong connection based on balance and collaboration. 
  • 8th house: the planet person impacts intimacy, transformation, and shared resources. 8th house overlays point to deep emotional and transformational bonds, intimacy, as well as power struggles. 
  • 9th house: the planet person impacts your beliefs, philosophy, and higher education. This overlay points to a sense of adventure and exploration. 
  • 10th house: the planet person impacts career, public image, and ambition. This overlay points to achieving success and public recognition together.
  • 11th house: the planet person influences your friends, groups/clubs, and long-term goals. This overlay points to shared interests, groups and community. 
  • 12th house: the planet person influences your realm of dreams, spirituality and isolation. This overlay indicates a deep emotional and spiritual connection. 

Here are a few examples:

If your Venus is in my 4th house, you bring beauty and peace (Venus) to my home and family life (4th house). You might help me redecorate my home to make my space more visually appealing. You might help me repair broken relationships with family members. I find myself wanting to spend more time at home because of the love you bring into this area of my life. The Venus person is comfortable being at home with you.

If your Mars is in my 8th house, you bring your energy and drive (Mars) to my realm of sex, intimacy and death (8th house). You bring out an intense side of me, and I may have strong feelings of attraction (or even repulsion) towards you. I can feel the heaviness of our interactions and cannot help but feel very curious about you. I may even feel a strong sexual attraction to you, and may feel out of control when we are together.

If your Saturn is in my 1st house, you bring structure (Saturn) to the way I present myself outwardly (1st house). I may feel repressed or self-conscious in your presence. Around you, I present myself in a more mature, austere and responsible manner. In some ways, I might feel that I cannot be fully ‘myself’ around you, for I fear your disapproval.

You might assume the house person is the one who feels the energy most of all. It makes sense, given that the house person’s house is being illuminated by the planet person’s energy, but I do not believe this is entirely true.

How does the planet person feel?

The energy of the planet will ‘play out’ in your partner’s house, either consciously or subconsciously. The planet person feels  drawn to the qualities represented by their partner’s house. This is because their planet feels ‘at home’ in this part of your life. 

Each planet expresses a different energy, as described below:

  • The Sun illuminates the house is touches in another person’s chart. The Sun person feels they can ‘be themselves’ with the house person in the area represented by that house. 
  • The Moon represents emotions, family and home. It also points to where the couple may experience the most ups and downs in their relationship. The Moon person generally brings emotional support and nurturing to the house person in the area the house represents. 
  • Mercury represents communication, ideas, and short-term travel. The Mercury person will like to talk to the house person about subjects connected to that house
  • Venus represents partnership, harmony, beauty and style. The Venus person expresses love, beauty and cooperation in the house it occupies in synastry
  • Mars represents action, drive, and sexual energy. The Mars person brings energy, drive and conflict to the house it occupies in synastry
  • Jupiter represents luck, abundance, and faith. The Jupiter person brings positivity and gifts to the house it occupies in synastry
  • Saturn represents responsibility, stability, and maturity. The Saturn person brings a somber, ‘grown-up’, critical energy to the house it occupies in synastry
  • Uranus represents revolution, rebellion and instability. The Uranus person brings an unpredictable, exciting energy to the house it occupies in synastry
  • Neptune represents dreams, spirituality and illusions. The Neptune person brings a dreamy, impractical, and perhaps confusing energy to the house it occupies in synastry
  • Pluto represents transformation, death and rebirth. The Pluto person brings intensity, control and power struggles to the house it represents in synastry

For example, if my Sun falls in your 2nd house, your attitudes towards finances(2nd house) jives with my core personality (Sun). I show my personality most brilliantly when we are talking about money or finances, and may even take an active interest in how you manage your money. I feel like I can ‘be myself’ with you when we are discussing financial matters.

If my Moon falls in your 7th house, your approach to partnership and relationships is in line with my emotional nature. In this relationship, I want to share my feelings with you. I feel safe to share my feelings about my family and past with you. I also highly admire the way you relate to others and your charm.

If my Venus is in your 4th house, I express my love for you by creating a beautiful and loving home for you. I want to help you create harmony in your home and family life. This is the area I feel most compelled to show my love to you. I admire the way you approach home and family life, and likely get along with your family. You provide me a safe and nurturing space to express my love and affection.

If my Saturn is in your 1st house, I find the way you express and present yourself (1st house) triggers my insecurities and fears. Regardless, I feel a strong bond and responsibility towards you.

How is the planet aspected in natal and synastry?

If the planet person’s planet is negatively aspected in their own natal chart or in synastry, these issues will ‘play out’ in the house it overlays in another person’s chart. This is why seemingly ‘good’ house overlays can play out negatively between the couple.

For example, my ex had his Moon is my 7th house. He was very sensitive to my feelings and moods, and liked sharing his feelings with me. However, his natal Moon is opposite his Saturn and Uranus, so my relationship with him was full of insecurity and unpredictability, which mostly came from his side.

How the planet is aspected in synastry is also very important. If your Venus is in my 5th house, you bring fun and pleasure into my life. However, if my Saturn is square your Venus, you might see me as a wet blanket; you want to have fun with me, but you may find me boring or stuffy.

In House Synastry, who feels it more?

Both people feel the impact of a house overlay, but in different ways. The house person feels the effects of the planet person illuminating the area of their life. The planet person, however, feels the effects they bring out of the house person. For example, if your Mercury is in my 8th house, you will like to talk to me about deep matters. In turn, when I want to talk about deep matters, I go to you.

The impact also largely depends on how the planet is aspected in synastry, so make sure to assess aspects thoroughly.

For this reason, when it comes to relationships and marriage, having 4th, 5th and 7th house overlays are known for being very positive and mutually beneficial. If your Venus is in my 7th house, your planet of love and affection is ‘at home’ in my house of partnerships and marriage. You identify with the way I relate to others and feel comfortable in a partnership with me. As the house person, I feel attracted to, and enjoy spending time with you.

Pluto synastry: who is more obsessed?

astrologyanonymous27

Pluto is an incredibly powerful planet, and when it is strongly aspected in synastry, you can feel it!

Pluto is the planet of death, rebirth, deep transformation and psychology. In synastry, it brings an intense and powerful energy to the planet it touches in another person’s chart. We often see it manifest as obsession, fascination, jealousy, intense love & hatred, repulsion, possessiveness, and death/rebirth.

The angle Pluto makes in synastry is very important. Hard aspects, like the conjunction, square and opposition, can bring out the more destructive and toxic traits of Pluto than the sextile or trine, which tend to be powerful in a positive way.

Who is more obsessed in Pluto synastry?

I have mostly been the planet person in previous relationships. It can be difficult to isolate one single aspect’s energy, but I always recognize that Plutonian feeling when it shows up in strong synastry with someone.

There are many factors that go into determining who is more obsessed, such as looking into how each person’s Pluto is aspected in their birth charts, their individual transits, and so on. This can make it very difficult to tell exactly who is more obsessed with who.

In my two last long term relationships, I was the Venus person in a Pluto square Venus configuration. I was undergoing major Pluto transits at the time we got together. I truly felt I was the more obsessed one at first. I felt helpless; I was totally entranced by him and could not escape his hold.

My Pluto partner seemed to always be in control, and was very jealous and possessive over me. I felt he felt very entitled to my love, and would be angry, vengeful or passive aggressive if he didn’t get it.

In synastry, the planet person feels the energy of their planet intensified and transformed when they are with the Pluto person. Yes, there is intensity, fascination and obsessiveness here. It is as though the planet person is going through a Pluto transit when they are with the Pluto person. 

What about the Pluto person? In my opinion (and experience), the Pluto person is more obsessed, but depending on the type of aspect Pluto makes, and how the person handles their own Pluto, this obsession can be very destructive.

To be clear: this does not mean that the Pluto person is more “in love” than the planet person, but rather feels a great need to control and transform the planet person. 

My ex is a Scorpio with Venus conjunct Pluto in Libra. His Venus/Pluto is exactly square my Venus. He’s a very Scorpionic person, and channeled that energy towards my Venus. He was constantly testing my loyalty and his jealousy and mistrust were ultimately what drove us apart.

My other Venus square Pluto in synastry ex is an Aquarius with Venus square his Pluto and Saturn. His obsessiveness was more understated due to Saturn’s influence. Instead of directly showing his obsession, he would stalk me, showing up at places he knew I’d be.

Pluto is obsessed with controlling and transforming the planet person, which can lead to power struggles when the planet person asserts their independence. In some ways, the planet person may feel like ‘prey’ to the Pluto person. The Pluto person is usually considered the partner with the “upper hand” in these relationships, and is usually more ‘in your face’ with showing their obsessiveness.

The planet person awakens the Pluto person’s controlling and obsessive side, while the planet person can feel very drawn towards the Pluto person’s depth and intensity, like a moth to a flame. Both parties can feel very out of control when they are with each other, and may even find they bring the worst out of one another, particularly with the hard aspects.

Love-hate themes are common in synastry featuring strong Pluto aspects, and I find they exist more strongly in the Pluto person. I have found that the Pluto person can become vengeful or manipulative when they feel they are losing control over the planet person, but this energy can definitely go both ways. Depending on the condition of the planet person’s Pluto, they can also become quite vengeful and manipulative. 

 

Have you had strong Pluto contacts in synastry? Were you the planet person or the Pluto person? Who do you think was more obsessed?

Descendant Synastry

astrologyanonymous27

We often talk about aspects to the Ascendant, but what about the Descendant?

The Ascendant and Descendant are opposing angles: the Ascendant represents our physical self and persona, while the Descendant represents our close, intimate relationships. The Descendant has to do with the type of partners we attract, and who we are most attracted to.

When someone’s planet is conjunct your Descendant, you feel you have met your match. Depending on the planet (and the aspects it makes to other planets and angles in your chart), this person might even be your ideal partner! Your partner is equally attracted to you, and sees you as their ‘other half’.

Conjunctions to the Descendant can be read similarly to a 7th house overlay, but they are more powerful. Also, the conjunction can also occur when one person’s planet is in another person’s 6th house, near the cusp of the 7th house.

In this article, we go over synastry interpretations of planets conjunct the Descendant (or opposite the Ascendant)

Sun conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Sun opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

Sun conjunct Descendant in syanstry is one of the most powerful aspects you can find in a synastry. This aspect indicates a strong level of attraction and compatibility.

The Descendant person feels the Sun person is their ideal match, and feels magnetically attracted to them. Indeed, the Sun person’s overall personality is very appealing to the Descendant person, as it is a mirror to their own personality.  This aspect is very binding, particularly for the Descendant person, as the Sun person makes them feel more balanced and complete.

The Sun person also feels very attracted to the Descendant person, not only for their physical appearance, but also for how natural it feels to be together. The two of them feel they have found their ‘other half’ in each other, and feel a strong desire to be around each other often.

Moon conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Moon opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

Moon conjunct Descendant in Synastry is another powerful, binding aspect, and is commonly seen in the charts of married couples.

This aspect indicates compatibility at the emotional level. The Descendant person has a strong emotional attachment to the Moon person, and may even become dependent on them for emotional support and nurturing. The Moon person is sensitive to the Descendant person’s moods, and provides support and understanding in the relationship.

The Descendant person loves being around the Moon person, and feels a natural inclination to partner with them. The Moon person also feels a strong desire to partner with the Descendant person, feeling as though they have found their other half.

The Descendant person feels safe and comforted when they are with the Moon person, as the Moon person creates a safe space for the Descendant person to express themselves.

I’ve found that Moon in the 7th house couples have a very special emotional bond which can be noticed by others around them.

Mercury conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Mercury opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

Mercury conjunct Descendant in Synastry indicates a high level of intellectual compatibility and attraction. The Mercury person is a perfect sounding board for the Descendant person; the Mercury person shows the Descendant person might even play Devil’s Advocate to show the Descendant person another perspective.

The Descendant person loves the way the Mercury person speaks and expresses themselves. There is a high level of intellectual compatibility between these two.

Both parties learn a lot about compromise and harmony through this relationship. They are open to each other’s ideas and respect each other’s intellects. Each partner feel ‘heard’ in this relationship, and talk through their issues in a fair and balanced way.

Venus conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Venus opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

Venus conjunct Descendant in Synastry is an incredibly powerful aspect to find in a relationship chart. This aspect indicates much attraction between the two partners, and this is one of the best synastry aspects for long term love and marriage.

The Venus person is ideal to the Descendant person; the Descendant person loves the Venus person’s style, beauty, and the way they express love and affection. Indeed, the Descendant person might idealize the Venus person greatly, and see them as the ‘perfect partner’.

Through the relationship with the Venus person, the Descendant person learns a lot about relationships, relating, equality and harmony.

The Venus person is also highly attracted to the Descendant person. They love the way the Descendant person looks, and how they relate to others. They enjoy socializing with the Descendant person, and complement each other socially.

To others, they come across as the perfect couple.

Mars conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Mars opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

This aspect indicates a high level of attraction between the partners. The Descendant person is drawn to the Mars person, and falls in love with their sexual energy and drive. The Mars person is also very sexually attracted to the Descendant person, and will want to pursue the Descendant person.

At the same time, this aspect can be somewhat problematic when it comes to disagreements. The Mars person can be quite dominating or argumentative, especially when it comes to relationship matters. In this relationship, it is important to work together to come up with solutions, rather than treat each other as enemies.

Jupiter conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Jupiter opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

This aspect is a wonderful aspect to share in Synastry! Jupiter conjunct Descendant in synastry blends one person’s planet of expansion and joy with another person’s relationship area.

The Descendant person feels much joy from being with the Jupiter person, as the Jupiter person brings joy, positivity and expansion to the Descendant person’s life. This placement can definitely signify marriage if other aspects are supportive.

In this relationship, the Jupiter person’s honesty and open-mindedness are highly attractive to the Descendant person. The two of them may enjoy traveling or going on adventures together.

Saturn conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Saturn opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

Saturn conjunct Descendant in synastry can be both positive and negative. Check the other aspects Saturn to determine how this aspect will play out in the relationship.

On the positive side, the Saturn person teaches the Descendant person how to be more responsible and mature when it comes to long-term commitment. In many cases, this aspect is indicative of marriage, as it increases the longevity of the connection, as well as the commitment and duty they feel to one another.

On the downside, the Descendant person may feel their Saturn partner is too stuffy or cold, or even parental, towards them. To the Descendant person, the relationship may feel heavy or burdensome in some way, especially if the Descendant person is a non-traditional type.

The Saturn person may be resistant or cause delays in romance between the couple due to insecurity, or due to external obstacles.

Uranus conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Uranus opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

Uranus conjunct Descendant in synastry indicates instant attraction between the partners. The Descendant person in particular finds the Uranus person highly attractive, exciting, and different than anyone they have met before.

Despite the high level of attraction between them, the relationship may be unsteady or unpredictable, given the erratic nature of Uranus. Over time, the Descendant person might not feel they can rely or depend on the Uranus person in times of need. It may be difficult to get the Uranus person to make a steady commitment to the Descendant person. On the good side, the Uranus person teaches the Descendant person to be more independent and detached in relationships.

silhouette of couple in front of starry night sky wallpaper

Neptune conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Neptune opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

This aspect indicates a dream-like connection between the partners. In this relationship, both partners, particularly the Descendant person, feel they have met their ideal match our soulmate in each other. The Neptune person brings a dreamy, compassionate, sensitive energy into the Descendant person’s relationships sector that feels both fantasy-like and confusing.

Due to the hazy nature of Neptune, there may be difficultly in defining the relationship or where the relationship is going. The Neptune person can be vague or indirect when it comes to relationship matters, which can be quite frustrating for the Descendant person. If both partners are clear and honest with each other, this beautiful relationship could last a lifetime.

Pluto conjunct Descendant in Synastry (or Pluto opposite Ascendant in Synastry)

This aspect indicates a strong attraction between the partners. In fact, they may even be obsessed with each other! The Pluto person completely transforms the way the Descendant person looks at relationships.

At the same time, jealousy, obsession and possessiveness may feature strongly in this relationship. There may be a strong ‘can’t live with you, can’t live without you’ energy between them. The couple may experience many power struggles when it comes to relationship matters. The Pluto person, in particular, might be very forceful or controlling over the relationship, which could cause resentment and frustrations on behalf of the Descendant person.

If these two can learn to work together, the intense bond they share could a lifetime.

Uranus opposite Pluto Transit

astrologyanonymous27

A Uranus opposite Pluto transit brings about sudden and unexpected events that change your life.

These transits can be quite challenging, especially if you are someone who is not fond of change. For example, those with many planets in fixed signs (Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo) might be more resistant to change than a mutable sign (Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo, Gemini).

Pluto is the planet of transformation, rebirth, and power. Its natal house placement shows the area where you have issues surrounding power, control, and even obsession and jealousy (from yourself and from others). This applies to work (especially authority figures, or people in ‘control’), as well as relationships.

When transiting Uranus makes an opposition to your natal Pluto, an deep, and often shocking, transformation occurs.

At the beginning of this transit, you begin feeling a sense of powerlessness in your life, and sudden events force you to reevaluate your current situation.

During a Uranus opposite Pluto transit, you want to make a big change to your life and break free of toxic situations or relationships. You might even become very anxious to escape the situation, leading to rash decisions.

There is no doubt a big transformation is about to occur in your life. To determine how the transit will affect you, check which house Pluto is located in your chart. This is the area that will receive the radical change.

Timeline of a Uranus-Pluto transit

Uranus transits make 3 passes over the planet it is transiting: the first direct contact with the planet, followed by a retrograde contact, and ends with a final direct contact. Uranus transits tend to trigger events when the aspect is exact (within 10 minutes).

The first pass of the transit is an introduction to the energy of the transit; it gives you a taste of what is going to happen as the rest of the transit unfolds. In the case of a Uranus transit, there may be a feeling of uneasiness or anxiety around a certain situation. An event, or series of events, trigger a desire for major change. The actual change might not occur during the first pass of the transit, as it is still early and you are getting used to the energy.

The retrograde pass is the most powerful, in my experience, as it is usually when the Big Change happens. Everything that has been bubbling up under the surface suddenly explodes during a retrograde hit of a Uranus transit. Sweeping changes usually take place at this time.

Finally, the final direct hit of a transit feels much more comfortable. By then, we are used to the energy of the transit, and can use it more constructively. 

You should also check if you have any Pluto transits going on at the time. The transit from Uranus to your natal Pluto will trigger events related to your Pluto transit. For example, if you are currently going through a Pluto conjunct Venus transit at the same time, the hits from Uranus to Pluto will trigger events related to your Pluto conjunct Venus transit. 

My experience with a Uranus opposite Pluto transit

I had a Uranus opposite Pluto transit several years ago. My natal Pluto is in my 10th house, so transit Uranus was opposing from the 4th house. I was having major power struggles with my toxic boss. Having my natal Pluto in the 10th house gives me problems with authority and ‘bosses’ as it is, so having someone so manipulative and controlling was driving me crazy.

Once Uranus went retrograde, my desire to quit my job was getting stronger. I applied for many jobs, and ended up getting an offer when transiting Uranus was retrograde right on my Pluto. Pluto was also transiting conjunct my natal Venus in the second house, which reflected the healthy raise I got from my new role.

Overall, a Uranus opposite Pluto transit being deep and lasting change to your life. This is the time to escape toxic situations who are holding you back. Sudden and unexpected changes occur at this time, but do not be afraid: this deep transformation is overdue, and will  put you on the right track.

On-and-Off Relationships in Astrology

Many of my clients are involved in on-and-off relationships, and want to know if they will ever settle down into a long-term, stable relationship. These types of relationships are unstable, unpredictable, and hard to manage. Feelings for each other can run hot and cold, and it can be difficult to know exactly where you stand with each other.

According to Healthline, “Findings from various studies suggest anywhere from about 30 to 60 percent of dating young adults have some experience with on-and-off relationships, also known as relationship cycling or churning.”

In astrology, what aspects point to on-and-off relationships?

Synastry Aspects

Uranus is responsible for on-and-off relationships. Why is that?

Uranus is the planet of instability, unpredictability, and change. When someone’s Uranus makes hard aspects to your natal planets or angles, an unstable and unpredictable connection is indicated. In this relationship, it may be difficult to settle down into a committed and stable relationship.

In these relationships, feelings of love and attraction develop very quickly and unexpectedly, but can disappear in a similar fashion.

In relationships which feature strong Uranus in synastry, it is the Uranus person who usually brings the unstable energy to the relationship. In these cases, the Uranus person usually feels stifled or repressed by the planet person, which can cause them to withdraw from the relationship. This is especially the case if the planet person is trying to pressure the Uranus person for commitment.

However, the Uranus person might eventually start missing them and will want to get back with the planet person. The cycle of breaking up and getting back together might go on a long time before someone breaks it off for good.

Composite Aspects 

Strong Uranus aspects in a couple’s Composite Chart is another excellent indication of an on-off relationship. It indicates a relationship that is unstable and unpredictable, and the couple may have difficulty settling down into a stable and committed partnership.

In relationships like these, one or both partners may feel smothered or restricted by the other, which can result in pulling away or distancing themselves from each other. However, one or both partner may start missing the relationship and get back together, only for the cycle to repeat itself once again.

For these couples, freedom and individuality are very important. This does not necessarily mean the relationship should be open or non-monogamous, but it should allow both people a lot of space to be their authentic selves.

Transits

If you are currently involved in an on-and-off relationship, I’d also encourage you to take a look at your transits.

Hard Uranus transits to your natal planets, angles, or houses can indicate you will enter an on-an-off relationship.

During this time, you might meet one or many love interests. These relationships start very suddenly and unexpectedly, and feelings develop rapidly. Uranus is like a lightning bolt that jolts us into a period of excitement and unpredictability, and can be quite disorienting for those who are not used to the energy.

However, the partners you attract during this time may be Uranus-oriented (i.e. strong Aquarius or Uranus placements in their natal chart). They are different than the type of person you are used to dating; perhaps they are from a different ethnic background, culture, or social status than you. You revel in your partner’s uniqueness and individuality, and you feel excited about your relationship with them.

Over time, however, you may feel your partner pulling back from you, which might confuse you. Things were going so well, what went wrong?

Uranus is all about freedom and independence, so Uranian energy can definitely complicate relationships. Your partner might feel smothered or restricted by the relationship, which leads them to take many breaks from you. They might return to you, only to pull away again. This can be very confusing and frustrating for you, given how quickly your feelings developed for them.

Attempting to control or manipulate a Uranus-oriented person is not advised. Uranus people adore their freedom, and are not easily attached to others. If a relationship feels too serious or traditional, they perceive it as a burden and want to escape.

During a Uranus transit, it is best to go with the flow and enjoy your time with your partner. In fact, you may not even be interested in them once the transit is over!

Transits to watch out for:

Transit Uranus square your natal Mars

Transit Uranus square your natal 5th house ruler

Transit Uranus square your natal 7th house ruler

Transit Uranus through your 5th house

Transit Uranus through your 7th house

I recently had a Uranus square Venus transit, and had an interesting experience. I met an Aquarius guy and feel pretty hard for him. We met online- go figure- and feelings definitely developed quickly. We even said “I love you” to each other within the first month, which in retrospect was totally crazy, as we barely knew each other.

The relationship, however, was very on-and-off. For whatever reason, we were unable to settle down into a predictable and stable routine together. It was an extremely frustrating, yet exciting relationship.

So how did it all end?

I got sick of the on-off nature of the relationship and broke things off. Oddly enough, once the transit was completely over, I lost all interest in him, and I was even confused as to why I was with him in the first place.

Natal Aspects

What about if all of your relationships are on-and-off? Throughout my time doing readings for my clients, some of them had never been in a serious, committed relationship before.

Strong Uranus in your natal chart can point to difficulty finding a stable relationship.

In some cases, the person really wants to settle down, but can only seem to attract unstable partners.

More often, the person might be subconsciously choosing unavailable partners due to their own fear of commitment.  I also find that some of these folks love the excitement and unpredictability of the relationship, for it keeps them from getting bored.
