Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - Natal Chart Interpretation
Horoscope interpretation comes down to combining the meanings of the four basic elements of astrology — Planets, Signs, Aspects, and Houses — into a single whole, which is what makes each interpretation individual. More...
SUN
Strength: 55.55
Harmony: 14.30
The SUN is the most important luminary, the center of life force. It can be compared to the king on a chessboard. It determines the health and well-being of the person born. It gives a creative impulse and ideals, including the desire for power, influence, and strength.
The position of the main luminary in the natal chart has fateful significance. For example, the happiest people on Earth are those who do not have pronounced tense aspects to the Sun. At the same time, one might think that their character traits may be somewhat “soft,” because through the Sun a person develops the ego and strengthens the inner backbone of life. It is important to remember that the Sun represents the inner mind, not instinct. More...
Q Sun in Sagittarius l 17°
Sagittarius is a full-fledged representative of the Fire element, and their explosive temperament confirms this. This sign is an example of a harmonious combination of inner and outer energy. The description of a Sagittarius Sun shows that they are open to communication and friendly with others, which deservedly gives them the title of a public favorite. At the same time, this is a very freedom-loving type, one who reacts painfully to any attempt to encroach on their personal freedom.

Q Sun in the 11th House
ELEVENTH HOUSE (House of hopes, wishes, and friends). SUN (planet of vital energy and individuality) in the Eleventh House: the native is successful in society and knows how to win and keep friends. They benefit from their friends’ faith and support. They have great goals in life, and their optimism attracts allies. Strengths: idealism and creativity. Weakness: excessive dominance.
Read more...
Sun Aspects
Just as all the planets in the solar system revolve around the Sun, a person receives their life purpose from the Sun in the natal chart. The Sun is the ego, the “inner child” that makes the final decisions. It guides the person and can be considered the “boss” of the natal chart, especially in the charts of men. Read more
ASCENDANT
Strength: 42.98
Harmony: -3.10
In the birth chart, the Ascendant is the cusp of the First House. It is the second most important factor after the position of the Sun. The position of the Ascendant in the signs of the Zodiac determines how a person manifests outwardly. The position of a planet on the Ascendant significantly strengthens the expression of that planet’s qualities in the person. In general, the position of planets on or near the Ascendant is the third most important factor. The symbol used in the table is (ASC).
The Ascendant speaks of the mask a person wears in public; it is the first impression they make when meeting people. Often, when the person is puzzled by how others describe them, it is because others are describing this aspect of their personality. The Ascendant is present in the person’s appearance and individuality, sometimes extending as far as influencing physical characteristics. The sign becomes noticeably expressed in their image, style, and manner of carrying themselves. It is also reflected in the way they act. Some astrologers believe that the sign becomes weaker after a person reaches the age of 30, as their confidence in who they are grows. The rising sign manifests in the first personal traits inherent in the person and in the way they react to their environment.
ASCENDANT in Capricorn z 21° - Ruler: Saturn and Uranus
Saturn, the senior ruler of the sign Capricorn, is the planet of patience, responsibility, and discipline. But Saturn is also the planet of time and limitations, and Capricorns are often overly serious, which can make them pessimistic. They may see life in gray tones. Still, their ability to plan their time and their natural ambition help them achieve their goals. If Saturn is not afflicted in the natal chart, they almost always reach what they set out to achieve.
People born with Capricorn Rising are usually sensitive, shy, enterprising, ambitious, controlling, reserved, practical, grounded, conscientious, responsible, critical, and cool-headed. It is quite possible that they had problems with communication at an early age. They may suffer from a sense of inferiority. They learned to overcome these feelings through strength and necessity, which gives them determination in pursuing their goals and tasks in life. Great ambition and a refusal to admit defeat until they reach the heights they have set for themselves are their main qualities. Money, position, and power are important to them. Their restraint is sometimes perceived by others as coldness and indifference, while in reality they are simply being responsible and doing their duty.
The main lesson to learn: learn how to communicate.
Saturn and Uranus rule Capricorn, so these two planets will play an important role in the natal chart. Read more...
Ascendant Aspects:
MIDHEAVEN (MC)
Strength: 46.96
Harmony: 4.73
The Midheaven (Meridian, MC) is the culminating point of the natal chart. It symbolizes the noon of life and coincides with the cusp of the Tenth House of the horoscope. The Meridian line, MC - IC, is the vertical axis of the horoscope, while the Ascendant - Descendant line (AC - DC) is the horizontal axis. Together, they form the so-called “axial cross,” or “cross of fate.” In terms of importance, the Midheaven ranks third in the horoscope after the Ascendant and the position of the Sun. The Midheaven, like the Tenth House of the horoscope as a whole, symbolizes everything connected with the person’s profession and social standing: success or lack of success in society, career, popularity, fame, titles, awards, or the absence of these. It shows the person as an individual within society, points to their professional skills, and indicates the possibility of rising up the social ladder.
Midheaven in Scorpio k 18° - Ruler: Pluto and Mars
Rulers: Pluto and Mars. A person with the MC in Scorpio is not afraid of difficulties or obstacles; on the contrary, they are stimulated by them and become more focused on the goal. They do not shy away from any kind of work, and quite often their work is connected with extreme circumstances, such as firefighting, rescue work, mining, or criminal investigation. Over time, however, such work can harden the person, making them severe, aggressive, and ruthless. They may exceed their authority, violate instructions, and even break the law. Sometimes, of course, circumstances may justify this. Still, one should note their diligence, complete immersion in work, devoted service to the cause, and persistence. The professional interests of a person with the Midheaven in Scorpio are always very deep; superficiality is simply ruled out here. It may seem that their energy has no limit, but this is not so. Overload connected with work that demands maximum physical and psychological effort may affect their health.
In addition to hard work and extreme responsibility, one should note Scorpio’s enormous ambition. They are not satisfied with a subordinate position. In youth, they spend their restless energy on extreme sports or dangerous work, but the older they become, the more strongly their love of power makes itself felt. Such people often become leaders, frequently in security or law-enforcement agencies, or they enter politics. Scorpio’s characteristic egocentrism simply compels them to achieve the goal they have set for themselves — a goal that cannot be called small and may even seem beyond reach or impossible to an ordinary person.
Despite Scorpio’s remarkable strength and pressure, the world does not surrender its positions so easily. Therefore, if a person with this Meridian in the chart has afflicted Pluto or Mars, this points to many disputes, quarrels, scandals, confrontations, and clashes. Indeed, any person with a strongly expressed Scorpio sign faces no small number of difficulties, but in one way or another they emerge victorious from every ordeal, even in the event of a complete life collapse.
There is also another category of people with the Midheaven in Scorpio: financial power players. But to become one with certainty, the natal chart must contain indicators of the ability to handle huge sums of money; the Meridian in Scorpio alone is not enough. Read more...
Midheaven Aspects:
MOON
Strength: 58.27
Harmony: 6.33
The Moon is a transmitter of sensations, emotions, and moods. It rules the spheres of the soul and subconscious, innate reflexes, and habits that come from childhood. The Moon is the ruler of Cancer. Taurus is considered the sign of its exaltation. Capricorn is considered the sign of its fall, and Scorpio the sign of its detriment, or exile. If the Moon has strong essential dignity in the horoscope and forms harmonious interactions with other planets in the natal chart, the native feels inner harmony; even when difficulties arise in life, they overcome periods of trouble with ease.
More...W Moon in Pisces c 06°
The Moon: the second most important luminary, and often the first in a woman’s chart. The Moon gathers and transforms the energy of the other planets, especially the Sun. It rules instincts and emotions. It is the planet of moods. It symbolizes the feminine principle, conception, and motherhood, unlike Venus, which symbolizes sensual love.
The emotions of Lunar Pisces are expressed through sympathy and compassion. The native is sensitive, kind, gentle, imaginative, shy, and tenderhearted, with an innate understanding of other people’s feelings and intentions in various situations. They are not indifferent to the suffering of others.
Read more...
W Moon in the 1st House
FIRST HOUSE (House of personality). MOON (planet of emotions and instincts) in the First House: the native expresses themselves through a developed imagination and intuitively understands people. Home and family mean a great deal to them, and they remember their childhood with nostalgia. They want to be valued and admired, and they strive for recognition. Strengths: receptivity, romanticism, curiosity. Weaknesses: hypersensitivity, gloominess, tendency to waste energy.

Moon Aspects
Moon aspects determine a person's everyday lifestyle and influence their health and relationships with others. They govern the maternal nature of women and the feelings of men connected with the opposite sex. Read more...
MERCURY
Strength: 36.20
Harmony: -5.32
Its close proximity to the Sun defines the nature of this small yet charismatic planet. Its main functions are intellect, logical thinking, cognition, communication, and the individual’s connection with society.
The ability to establish connections is traditionally considered Mercury’s most specific “character” trait. Even the myths described Mercury, or Hermes, as a mediator between Olympus and Earth, the messenger of the gods who connected their world with the world of humans by transmitting information: the gods’ commands to people and people’s requests to the gods. More...
E Mercury in Capricorn z 03°
People born with Mercury in the sign of Capricorn are endowed with clarity of mind, discipline, seriousness, practicality, organization, objectivity, and sobriety of thought. They are not impressed by inflated promises.
Read more...
E Mercury in the 12th House
TWELFTH HOUSE (House of secrets, sorrow, and self-sacrifice). MERCURY (planet of the mind) in the Twelfth House: the native is a contemplative, introspective, and perceptive thinker, inclined toward solitude or secrecy. They worry over small things and may be very shy. Strength: they could become a thoughtful researcher or detective. Weakness: slander affects them deeply.
Read more...
Mercury Aspects:
VENUS
Strength: 52.27
Harmony: 18.20
The areas of Venus’s influence are beauty, love, art, choice, friendship, partnership, and material values.
Venus rules the Second and Seventh Houses. The Second House points to money and property; it describes not only the material values a person owns, but also their natural talents and abilities, through which, with certain effort, they can acquire material prosperity. The Seventh House governs marriage, partnerships in business and politics, and business contracts. A strong Venus is a source of emotional warmth, tenderness, selfless devotion, and material well-being. More...
R Venus in Sagittarius l 21°

ELEVENTH HOUSE (House of hopes, wishes, and friends). VENUS (planet of love and pleasure) in the Eleventh House: the native is sociable, loves people, and has many friends.

Weakness: they confuse friendship with love.
Read more...
Venus Aspects:
MARS
Strength: 70.50
Harmony: -5.17
Mars is strength, assertiveness, aggressive sexuality, struggle, and rivalry. The planet’s most important functions are protection, the instinct of self-preservation, and self-expression. In the modern world, people rarely have to protect their lives or homes from mortal danger. What comes to the forefront instead is defending one’s own opinion, protecting personal interests in professional and social spheres, competing, and striving to win.
A strong Mars gives the world heroes capable of sacrificing themselves for other people or for higher ideals. In everyday reality, the person expresses themselves vividly through activity directed toward the common good. More...
T Mars in Capricorn z 22°
Their actions reflect ambition for power, recognition, honor, and status. They do not want to follow anyone. They want to play the leading role in everything they do. If they cannot handle this constructively, they may become a ruthless manipulator who sweeps aside anyone who stands in the way.
Read more...
T Mars in the 1st House
FIRST HOUSE (House of personality). MARS (planet of energy and self-assertion) in the First House: the native is impulsive and independent and does not like following other people’s advice. They devote themselves to a new undertaking with energy and confidence and are capable of working intensely. They have strong sexual desires and are passionate in love. Strengths: physical strength, tendency toward self-assertion, courage. Weaknesses: tactlessness, impudence, domineering behavior, predisposition to injuries.
Read more...
Mars Aspects:
JUPITER
Strength: 55.11
Harmony: 24.88
In the astrological theater, Jupiter plays the role of the “Great Benefic.” Since antiquity, it has been associated with luck and material blessings. Yet the largest planet in the solar system has other purposes as well. It is responsible for spiritual and intellectual development and encourages a person to search for the meaning of life. From a psychological point of view, Jupiter embodies the generous, fair father. Its main enemies are stagnation and boredom. The giant rules the Ninth and Twelfth Houses.
The remarkable qualities of a strong Jupiterian person are often not their own achievement, but the result of fantastic luck. A winning lottery ticket or an unexpected inheritance are typical gifts from generous Jupiter. More...
Y Jupiter in Cancer f 13°
A person born with Jupiter in Cancer is loving, peaceful, friendly, sociable, responsive, and perhaps quite patriotic.
Read more...
Y Jupiter in the 6th House
SIXTH HOUSE (House of service and health). JUPITER (planet of luck and expansiveness) in the Sixth House: the native tends to be successful at work, gets along well with coworkers, and is someone others can rely on. Jupiter usually brings them financial rewards. They enjoy good food and may be prone to weight gain. Strength: their professional life allows them to travel and grow. Weakness: health problems may arise from self-indulgence.
Read more...
Jupiter Aspects:
SATURN
Strength: 41.95
Harmony: -24.86
Traditionally, the “Lord of Time” is associated with the darkest sides of life: old age and death, decline and deprivation. Yet Saturn is also a great sage, mentor, and lawgiver. It embodies a person’s conscience. Saturn creates prohibitions, but without them, chaos and anarchy would reign in life. Saturn promotes maturity and teaches a person to plan their life. It rules the Tenth astrological House and is responsible for career, social status, and reputation.
A strong, beneficial Saturn gives a person healthy ambition, the ability to creatively rework experience accumulated over centuries and make valuable discoveries based on it, as well as strong health, longevity, and a secure old age. More...
U Saturn in Leo g 28°
People born with Saturn in Leo in the natal chart are endowed with the skills of a diplomat, organizer, manager, and leader, all combined with strong willpower.
Read more...
U Saturn in the 7th House
SEVENTH HOUSE - House of marriage and partnership. SATURN (planet of discipline and limitations) in the Seventh House: the native approaches marriage and partnership cautiously and postpones them until they feel completely sure. Their spouse is often a widow, widower, or someone older than they are. If there are no opposing influences in the birth chart, they improve their financial or social position through marriage. Strength: they take their commitments to a partner seriously. Weakness: possible legal complications and losses connected with them.
Read more...
Saturn Aspects:
URANUS
Strength: 37.82
Harmony: -11.29
Uranus is a symbol of suddenness and surprise, originality and eccentricity, unforeseen actions and behavior, various shifts and changes, turning points and rearrangements of both a positive and negative nature. Under its influence, past and present values are reassessed, and the future is anticipated.
Uranus is the sign of higher reason and almost supernatural intuition. It gives rise to true geniuses, people who are ahead of their time and remain misunderstood by their own generation. Uranus represents a projected point of the unconscious, yet it brings highly symbolic images and impulses into a person’s consciousness, arising both while awake and in dreams. This distinctive power to form images gives birth to intuition and inspiration, a flash of creative force, as well as scientists and inventors, poets and performers, musicians and artists, statesmen and political figures, religious reformers and revolutionaries.
Driven by the desire to play by its own rules, Uranus embodies change, reform, evolution, and revolution. More...
I Uranus in the 1st House
FIRST HOUSE (House of personality). URANUS (planet of change and originality) in the First House: the native has an inventive mind and possibly unusual interests and hobbies. Their life is marked by sudden, unexpected turns. They are sensitive and independent in their views. They may persistently pursue what they want, showing strong willpower. Strengths: originality, creative mind, initiative. Weaknesses: tactlessness, stubbornness, eccentricity.
Read more...
Uranus Aspects:
NEPTUNE
Strength: 25.37
Harmony: 4.26
Neptune is full of mysteries. Its realm is feelings and impressions, dreams and reveries. The planet forms a refined perception of art, as well as an attraction to religion and mysticism. Neptune constantly acts on a person in an almost imperceptible, even mysterious way, creating forces that reject and refuse to acknowledge any psychic or spiritual limitations. These forces stir the feelings to their deepest depths and direct the mind toward the search for still-unknown and undiscovered mysteries of nature, the cosmos, and the human being.
More...
O Neptune in the 7th House
SEVENTH HOUSE - House of marriage and partnership. NEPTUNE (planet of spirituality and illusions) in the Seventh House: in marriage and partnership, the native seeks spiritual closeness, shared life goals, and similar artistic and religious preferences. However, unrealistic or contradictory expectations of a partner may lead to an extramarital affair. Strength: sensitivity to the partner’s needs. Weaknesses: they are easily persuaded; disappointment may await them.
Read more...
Neptune Aspects:
PLUTO
Strength: 30.91
Harmony: -1.66
PLUTO is the main ruler of all collective mysteries, gatherings, rallies, demonstrations, and similar mass events. Together with Uranus, it destroys old, rotten, outdated political world systems, creating new ones separately for each nation and state.
On the one hand, Pluto shows a person as an integral being; on the other, as a particle of the cosmos and of a given society. Pluto symbolizes the final stage of the individuation process, a second birth or rebirth, after which the person becomes more complete. In one case, it may bring the person under its influence brilliant success and career advancement, unexpected wealth or worldwide fame, influence over the masses, the crowd, the public, or an audience, and a social rise as rapid and dazzling as a meteor. In another case, it may bring total losses. More...
P Pluto in the 6th House
SIXTH HOUSE (House of service and health). PLUTO (planet of transformation) in the Sixth House: the native knows how to concentrate and is strongly motivated by visible results. They are inclined to overwork. They are interested in medicine and health and may sometimes have a gift for healing. Strength: their work can inspire others. Weakness: work often drains all their physical energy.
Read more...
Pluto Aspects:
CHIRON
Chiron is a planetoid with the ability to intensify the energetic impulses of celestial bodies. By changing the characteristics of planets, it contributes to unexpected changes in the native’s life, much like Uranus. It should not be forgotten that Chiron symbolizes duality in different areas.
More...
M Chiron in the 2nd House
Most importantly, Chiron’s gifts are the talent of duality and adaptability in those spheres and areas of life indicated by the leading principles of that House of the horoscope. This person can skillfully, artfully, and deftly combine opposites. Their cunning, craftiness, and ability to maneuver are boundless.
Here, Chiron mainly protects those whose work is connected with material values and those who can extract money from anything. These people instantly sense the smell of money and their own advantage. Among them are many commercial figures, businesspeople and ordinary shopkeepers, large and small bankers, and people in whose hands large material assets are held, such as warehouse managers, cashiers, owners of real estate, hotels, restaurants, shops, night bars, and the like.

Chiron Aspects:
The Houses provide information about how, where, and to what extent a person's characteristic traits will manifest, how their potential will be revealed, and how all of this will be realized in everyday life. Each House represents a specific sphere of human life. The Houses reflect a person's life in society, the kind of person life compels them to become, and show acquired skills, habits, methods, and goals that life sets before the person, as well as the ways through which they will move toward their goal.
1st HOUSE - z 21°
Strength: 240.53
Harmony: -30.17
1st House in Capricorn - Ruler of Saturn and Uranus
The First House is angular, which means it possesses qualities such as activity, initiative, and dynamism. It is the first of the Houses of life, and in this capacity, it represents the physical aspect of the personality — the body.
The First House in Capricorn forms a complex character, the severity of which depends directly on the person’s spiritual growth: stubbornness and rigidity in communication must be transformed into confidence and determination. To the native, obstacles do not exist, and overcoming difficulties is one of their favorite pursuits. They are a realist who stands firmly on the ground. High social status is of primary importance to them, and for this reason they work tirelessly and limit themselves in entertainment and purchases.
Saturn and Uranus rule Capricorn, so their influence should be taken into account when analyzing the First House (Ascendant).
Read more...
2nd HOUSE - c 09°
Strength: 20.12
Harmony: 7.28
2nd House in Pisces - Ruler of Neptune and Jupiter
The Second House is the place of a person’s financial power. It shows the source of stable income from which the native can move toward the wealth of the Eighth sector, as well as find connections with their life purpose through the Tenth House, creating prosperity, well-being, and the happiness of public recognition. It is important to understand the ways of interacting with money, the nature of spending, and one’s own behavior in financial matters.
Under the influence of Neptune, the native generously gives to friends and even strangers, helping and saving others, but without looking deeply into the essence of the problem. In this way, they may give their entire salary to scammers who move them with a tearful story and end up with nothing. However, at a high level of spirituality, their kindness returns a hundredfold. Everything they have given comes back through other people in a higher form of wealth.
The senior ruler Neptune and the junior ruler Jupiter rule Pisces, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the Second House.
Read more...
3rd HOUSE - a 19°
Strength: 35.25
Harmony: -2.58
3rd House in Aries - Ruler of Mars and Pluto
The Third House is defined as the House of communication, the sphere in which a person feels the need to express their ideas, whether orally or in writing. As the House that signifies family ties, it primarily includes a person’s brothers and sisters, if they have any, and describes the nature of their relationship with them. In addition, it also points to relationships with other people in the immediate environment, such as neighbors, for example. But this is not all — it also indicates nearby, short-distance travel in the local area: by car, bus, train, or bicycle. The Third House belongs to the cadent Houses and indicates the ability of the native’s mind (Mercury) to learn, perceive different ideas, and adapt to various teachings; in practical terms, this means schooling and primary education.
The Third House in Aries symbolizes communication through dominance and assertiveness. In learning and communication, the native needs a taste of competition. Without it, they become bored and may begin taking their anger out on those around them. Their main rivals will be brothers and sisters, and it will be possible to build harmonious relationships with them only in the second half of life.
The senior ruler Mars and the junior ruler Pluto rule Aries, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the Third House.

4th HOUSE - s 18°
Strength: 26.13
Harmony: 9.10
4th House in Taurus - Ruler of Venus
The Fourth House is connected with a person’s private life and the way they would like to arrange their home. This is also where the roots of their origin should be sought. It is the House of motherhood and childcare. It also describes property, housing, real estate, and similar matters. The Fourth House also points to the final years of life and the end of a person’s physical existence. From this perspective, the Eighth House is considered the House of spiritual transformation and liberation, while the Twelfth House is the House in which a person’s restless thoughts and agitated rational mind must be calmed.
Taurus brings comfort and a steadily favorable development of events to any sector of the horoscope. However, this is one hundred percent true only when the House and its ruler, Venus, are harmonious. For the native, it is important that the home be clean and beautiful, smell pleasantly of fresh baked goods, and welcome only close and trustworthy friends as guests.
Venus rules Taurus, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Fourth House.

5th HOUSE - d 09°
Strength: 18.10
Harmony: -2.66
5th House in Gemini - Ruler of Mercury
The Fifth House is a House of life that carries the fiery energy of inspiration and the power of motivation. The warmth of this fire extends to others as well. For this reason, this House is considered the House of love that a person gives to others. The love given in connection with this House is not the affection associated with Venus in astrology, nor the sexual instincts related to Mars, but love that comes from the heart — the very quality that is the main characteristic of Leo.
The cusp of the Fifth House in Gemini gives the native ease in communication and flirtation, making them charming but unreliable. They prefer intellectual romances, where most of the action takes place in the imagination, and they may cheat without much guilt if their mind is stimulated by a vivid verbal duel with a new partner.
Mercury rules Gemini, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Fifth House.
Read more...
6th HOUSE - d 29°
Strength: 104.12
Harmony: 20.56
6th House in Gemini - Ruler of Mercury
The Sixth House is traditionally associated with work, health, and service. This House is still focused on the individual, on the “me.” It expresses a person’s attitude toward employment: whether they will do the work voluntarily or whether it will feel like a heavy burden. The Sixth House also indicates a person’s habits, established routine, occupation, general nutrition and, in particular, diet, as well as pets.
The sign of Gemini on the cusp of the Sixth House encourages the native toward Mercury-ruled activities: journalism, trade, marketing, and teaching. The person loves being aware of everything happening in the office and enjoys demonstrating how well-informed they are, but they may also become a victim of gossip.
Mercury rules Gemini, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Sixth House.

7th HOUSE - f 21°
Strength: 110.35
Harmony: -13.86
7th House in Cancer - Ruler of Moon
When describing the properties of the Seventh House as an angular House, it is customary to say that it manifests openly and through the public sphere. Traditionally, it is considered the House of relationships in all areas of life: love, friendship, cooperation, and even enmity. It shows what a person expects from contact with other people and how they express themselves in any union. The Seventh House teaches development through the close social circle, the ability to accept the successes of others, and the ability to learn missing qualities from enemies. The likelihood of marriage and divorce, as well as the personality of the spouse, can also be read through the planets and sign.
Men and women with the Seventh House in Cancer, when falling in love, already hear wedding bells and try on the role of future spouse for the person they like. Of course, this does not mean they will rush headlong to the registry office; the very thought may even frighten them...
The Moon rules Cancer, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Seventh House.

8th HOUSE - h 09°
Strength: 18.10
Harmony: -2.66
8th House in Virgo - Ruler of Mercury
The key words for the Eighth House are usually considered to be “sex,” “death,” “big money,” and “personal transformation.” It is clear that sex can appear in several forms: as pure passion, as a force aimed at producing offspring, or as an expression of a deep feeling of love. Death also has several meanings and is not reduced only to the death of a specific human being. It can serve as a symbol of a certain idea, thought, undertaking, or even illness that disappears as a result of transformation.
The Eighth House in Virgo requires careful attention to money and health. These are precisely the source of anxieties and problems. Eighth-House Virgos drive themselves crazy over small details that would not be a problem for an ordinary person. They can easily lose peace and sleep if they ordered kitchen furniture and it is not delivered on time, or if they are told that the fittings in the chosen color are no longer available.
Mercury rules Virgo, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Eighth House.

The Ninth House gives life higher meaning, expands the worldview, and encourages the search for keys to knowledge. This is a place of good fortune, considering that its symbolic ruler is Jupiter, the planet of great happiness, as well as connections with a new world. This manifests through higher education, travel to other countries, business contacts with foreigners, the spouse’s relatives, and esoteric knowledge. All of this expands the boundaries of consciousness and opens new paths of development.
People with the Ninth House in Libra always have a role model to emulate and stand out among their peers through dreams of high status and a special destiny. They strive to be an ideal of beauty and developed intellect, confidently moving toward the goal of taking their place in the sun. Beauty and the outward attributes of success are their triggers, so they are ready to do anything to obtain both.
Venus rules Libra, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Ninth House.

10th House in Scorpio - Ruler of Pluto and Mars
The Tenth House occupies the highest position in the horoscope, emphasizing the culminating nature of the corresponding area and pointing to the highest goal the person should strive to achieve. Therefore, the Tenth House indicates a possible profession, social position and reputation, as well as, in a broader sense, the true needs of the self. The key words for the Tenth House are social realization, recognition, success, fame, and renown.
A person with the Tenth House in Scorpio looks in any career for an opportunity to investigate intrigues, expose liars, and uncover secrets. It is difficult to be deceitful in their presence, and the falsehood in the behavior and voice of schemers is clearly visible to them. The native’s purpose lies in skillfully managing power for the benefit of the world, but in order to learn how to use it, they must pass through a series of trials and temper their spirit.
The senior ruler Pluto and the junior ruler Mars rule Scorpio, so both Mars and Pluto will play an important role when analyzing the Tenth House.

11th House in Sagittarius - Ruler of Jupiter and Neptune
The Eleventh House of joy and favorable opportunities, friends, and social activity shows where unexpected luck comes from and how a person can make a profit during a rapidly developing career. However, its main meaning is friendship and participation in collective projects, where the individual shows themselves either as a leader or as an obedient cog in the machine, depending on the nature of the sign on the cusp.
When the Eleventh House is in Sagittarius, conventions collapse. It seems as though the whole world is friends with the horoscope holder, and they themselves are open to communication around the clock. The ruler Jupiter, by default, grants the happiness of strong and loyal friendship; the main thing is to determine who is an ally and who is a freeloader.
The senior ruler Jupiter and the junior ruler Neptune rule Sagittarius, so their influence should be taken into account when analyzing the Eleventh House.

12th House in Sagittarius - Ruler of Jupiter and Neptune
The Twelfth House is the last in the Zodiac. Pisces is the symbolic sign, and Neptune is the symbolic ruler of the Twelfth House. Since Neptune is the planet of delusion and enlightenment, spiritual impulse and the desire to overcome the inertia of the physical world, it can be assumed that the Twelfth House is connected with a certain mystery. Pisces is sensitive and intuitive, inclined toward compassion and self-sacrifice — all of this largely defines the nature of the Twelfth House.
In a psychological sense, this is the native’s subconscious, inner world, largely hidden even from themselves, where all the joys and sorrows experienced since birth are immersed. Whether the native wants to look into their inner self and work with it depends entirely on them and on the decision they make. Some people expect the horoscope to make life easier, while others would like to use it in order to seriously understand themselves. The choice here depends on whether the person wants to consciously explore their inner world or is content for it to remain unknown. It is the Twelfth House that gives the opportunity to find one’s true self, gain faith, and receive inspiration.
The Twelfth House in Sagittarius brings horoscope holders many dangers connected with great ambitions and Napoleonic plans, but it also gives a powerful source of energy for overcoming obstacles, especially if Jupiter is strong and harmonious. In the struggle against enemies, a high level of erudition, legal savvy, and influential patrons help.
The senior ruler Jupiter and the junior ruler Neptune rule Sagittarius, so their influence should be taken into account when analyzing the Twelfth House.

Karmic indicators help a person become aware of deep-rooted problems that go back to past lives, and begin working on themselves in order to overcome them and improve both this life and, potentially, the next one. Karmic problems should not be understood as punishment for misdeeds and sins, as karma is usually interpreted in the everyday sense. Karma is not retribution, but rather inertia, when a person attracts similar situations from one life to another. From a karmic point of view, every element of the natal chart can be interpreted without exception. However, the most important indicators of karma in the horoscope are retrograde planets, if any, and the Lunar Nodes.
Retrograde Planets
Retrograde planets are always connected with turning back to the past. The more retrograde planets a person has in the horoscope, the stronger their connection with the past. A retrograde planet also points to an unresolved task from a past life, unfinished business, or unrealized abilities. It forces the person to take up again what could not be completed in the past. The symbol used in the table is R.
Retrograde Mercury — Individuality
When Mercury is retrograde in the horoscope, the individual’s conscious mind is able to intercept ideas from the universal consciousness of earlier times. Usually, they are not aware of this, but they are aware that they cannot easily make others understand everything they know. This is partly connected with the inversion of the Mercury symbol, in which the significance of Matter exceeds the significance of Spirit and Soul. This makes the individual concerned with the form of their ideas. And this acts as a barrier to the essence of their knowledge.
In addition, the wavelength of their mind differs slightly from what is accepted in society. Thought processes tend to repeat themselves like an endless recording, and as a result, most of the things they create are, in one form or another, copies of what they have already done. When they speak, it is difficult for them to project the exact telepathic pictures that convey the meanings of their thoughts. Thus, they often feel misunderstood and wonder why others do not always see things the same way they do.
They see themselves as more separate from society than a person with Mercury in direct motion may be. As a result, they desperately try to develop contacts with other people, overemphasizing their ideas until they begin to irritate those around them. Feeling constrained in company, they make great efforts to win the favor of others. Nevertheless, at the slightest hint of rejection, they may give up too easily. Ultimately, they learn that in order to have self-confidence, they must become more detached and impartial than people with Mercury in direct motion. This is often interpreted by others as “coldness,” but it is simply the vibration of retrograde Mercury, which is so obviously disharmonious with the vibrations of direct motion. Behind the apparent wall, this individual is far more sensitive than most people can imagine.
Once the communication barrier has been crossed, tremendous understanding and intuition emanate from retrograde Mercury. The retrograde individual does not fit into the ideas and opinions of the people around them. Instead, they can find peace in gratitude for their unique way of seeing things.
It is interesting to note that many people with musical talent have retrograde Mercury. Perhaps awareness of difficulties with spoken language led them to another form of communication, one that has much greater freedom and many levels of subtle mental and emotional expression.
Retrograde Mercury — Karma
A person with retrograde Mercury must experience unresolved relationship karma. They react to others as if those people symbolize figures from their past. Thus, it is difficult for them to keep the focus of their consciousness on the “here and now.” Usually, this manifests as difficulties with family and relatives. But the issue of relationships extends beyond communication with other people and includes the perception of the universe as a whole. There is often a problem characteristic of retrograde Mercury in terms of seeing what may be called an inverted reality. The individual has difficulty understanding the basic relationship between cause and effect. They explore the essence of life itself, yet often cannot see the simple connections between things, circumstances, and people. Lost in thoughts that lie beyond their understanding, they must learn to be content with the simple things on which life is based. They are so absorbed in uncovering what is beyond their understanding that they almost always miss the obvious.
From a karmic point of view, this individual must learn to focus attention on the reality of the present rather than lose themselves in all the apparent layers they perceive. When they are able to do this, they will be able to establish a solid point of reference in the “here and now,” through which all the discoveries they make can be expressed to the outer world.
Retrograde Mercury in Capricorn
This individual is a very deep and balanced thinker. Once they have made a mistake, they recognize it on a deep level and with a strong sense of perspective. They can then return to the source, or to a similar structure, and make it work properly.
In the early years, they apparently do everything with tension, but this helps them accomplish a great deal later. Self-expression is difficult for them, because they try too hard to focus attention on the precise meaning. Thus, they like to speak only about things that are either meaningful and serious, or that represent sobriety and prudence.
They do not like living a spontaneous life, since it is easier for them to be in harmony with the purpose of their own thought patterns than with the natural flow of forces in the world around them. In all matters, they always consider the final result before thinking through the steps that should be taken to achieve it. Thus, they are very pragmatic and practical. The person brings into this incarnation knowledge of how to achieve physical goals. They know what must be done in order to accomplish something substantial, and they will draw upon their past knowledge again and again in an attempt to pass it on to other people who are always looking for the easy way out.
They will be easier to understand later in life, after their thinking has found suitable outlets in traditional society. In the first half of life, they may go through paranoid periods when they become bogged down in their own depths. Nevertheless, they are more than capable of finding their way back.
Their greatest difficulty lies in personal relationships, since other people tend to lose patience with everything they are trying to build. However, the strongest side of this position appears during Phase III of the retrograde process: by reviewing their crystallized thoughts from the past, they can absorb more knowledge for future construction.
Retrograde Mercury in the Twelfth House
Here, the individual spends most of their time in Phase III of the retrograde process. In the absorbing, introspective vibration, they turn most of their thoughts inward in order to understand the inner nature of their existence. With this position, every conscious thought is karmic. Everything the individual perceives is a continuation of their past ideas about the interconnection of things, people, and circumstances in the universe. They are immersed in themselves and, on a personal level, become introverted. They are constantly thinking, replaying past conversations for days and weeks after they actually took place. In a certain sense, the individual experiences the pure essence of perception in its rawest form. This is very difficult for most individuals to cope with.
Their frequent disorientation in time and space knows no limits and extends beyond the boundaries of the current life, as well as the planet on which they now live. They may be mystically oriented, as they try to perceive the universe through themselves. Thus, they may experience in their life anything they allow themselves to think about. Truly, this is an individual who has become exactly what they thought themselves to be.
Other people almost always misunderstand them, because the Neptunian essence of their ideas becomes awkward when they try to express it to others during the absorbing, introverted Phase III of the retrograde process. They underestimate themselves, tending to withdraw from real life rather than express themselves freely outwardly. Some people with this position of retrograde Mercury have excellent musical abilities, since words often seem an inadequate means of expression, leading the individual into other creative spheres for expressing their thoughts. On the negative side, some people with this position may experience long periods of mental depression, during which they try to sort through the many thoughts absorbed from the formless universe. The individual must karmically understand themselves on the deepest levels.
To do this, they spend a great deal of time away from the outer world, whose events would prevent them from seeing the source of their inner existence. Thus, they avoid the lighter side of life and focus most of their attention on the deep mysteries encountered by their inner mind. They are a true scholar of the past and can become an excellent metaphysician when they direct their mental energy toward universal knowledge.
Retrograde Jupiter - Individuality
A native with retrograde Jupiter is a living truth unto themselves. Their ideas about right and wrong, about the morality of the world through which they travel, and about the honesty of other people’s opinions have little influence on what they feel within. In an attempt to be fair, this native develops their own unique set of standards. Usually, these standards are based on personal experiences from the beginning of this life, as well as on experiences from other incarnations, and they reflect not mass consciousness, but rather the native’s personally formed concept of the universe.
The native has a keen feel for different places and for how similar they are to one another. At the same time, they are aware of the different levels at which people think. Always studying the mind, they seek to experience an inner richness that they hope will ultimately equal the opportunities available to them in the outer world. This often creates dissatisfaction, which manifests as inner restlessness. They prefer to deal with things by grasping the essence of an idea and its significance, rather than the details required to bring that idea into reality.
If Jupiter is well-aspected, the native may have strong self-motivation, but they should be careful not to try to do too many things at once.
Essentially, they are free in spirit. And although they will adapt to the ideals of society when those ideals are useful to them, they constantly struggle to preserve their sense of individuality.
A native with this placement may possess great, almost prophetic wisdom. They can summarize the essence of long, complex, detailed projects in just a few words, while others might become lost in countless small details. The native can be conscientious. Their innate honesty with themselves is one of their most important defining traits. When retrograde Jupiter is poorly aspected, it may indicate ill will carried over from past incarnations. In such cases, a long-standing desire from the past to settle old scores is projected onto new people in the present. Fortunately, this is more the exception than the rule, since retrograde Jupiter gives the native an opportunity to see themselves through the higher mind, after which some of their personal attachments give way to a higher and more impartial understanding. The development of richness in the inner life ultimately takes precedence over the desire to acquire wealth in the outer world.
Retrograde Jupiter - Karma
The karma of retrograde Jupiter is always connected with introspection through the higher mind. The native must be able to justify themselves to themselves in order to feel truly worthy of the respect and honor that Jupiter promises.
In some past incarnation, the person placed great emphasis on the violation of a certain religious or spiritual principle. In the current life, they feel an even stronger determination to redefine the value of this principle in their own mind. They must be careful not to judge others when they see the outer world living by rules they cannot understand. They should be patient with other people if they expect others to listen to the expression of their inner truths.
On another level, the person has accumulated vast lived experience, which is characteristic of retrograde Jupiter. Times and places from the past all blend into a continuous present, so that at any given moment or in any given place, the native experiences that time or place in a generalized way, as though they were simultaneously present in all similar times and places they have ever known. Thus, their consciousness expands in both of these dimensions at once, often without limits. They do not know how to focus their mind on a clear point within themselves. Instead, they absorb the symbols of their thoughts from the surrounding environment, ultimately coming to realize that their home is everywhere, and that every time is the present!
The more these outer symbols correspond to the truth they came to know in a previous life, the more content they become.
Retrograde Jupiter in Cancer
Here the native feels most comfortable in Phase Three of the retrograde process, where they continue trying to reexpand the childlike qualities of the past. They possess a certain naivety and see themselves as simple-hearted. As a result, they experience many difficulties in adult life, because living in the present removes them from a period of time that may have represented greater freedom than their current reality. Their concept of truth has always been more emotional than mental, and as a result, they do not respond very well to reason. Instead, they try to develop their entire awareness from their emotions. This once again emphasizes their childlike qualities.
During adult life, there is a tendency to limit Jupiter’s expansive qualities within the framework of past experience. When the planet’s energy tries to expand, the native feels Cancer’s need to create a protective enclosure. Meanwhile, Jupiter’s retrograde motion pushes this entire conflict not only inward, but also back into the past. Thus, the person experiences both an emotional and a mental conflict at the same time. Their memories are often exaggerated, as they try to correct all the past situations in which they did not fully express themselves. And they tend to repeat their experiences, as though through repetition alone they could become more certain that the way they behaved in the past was right. All their past-life knowledge is now being tested in the higher mind, because they are required to experience it on an emotional level. Thus, they must learn to have devoted faith in their own truths and act according to them.
Retrograde Jupiter in the Sixth House
Here the native spends a great deal of energy embodying the higher mind in order to solve the problems they must deal with in life. They are overly occupied with starting many projects that they may not finish, wanting to take part in every task. They are concerned with maintaining fairness at work and experience difficulties with coworkers and superiors, constantly trying to uphold what they believe is right. They often make mountains out of molehills, and of all the possible placements of retrograde Jupiter, this is where the person is least able to look at life from a cosmic point of view. While searching for an easy way to do something, they may become distracted by so many small details that it is difficult for them to stay on course. Here the higher mind is overly sensitive to the lower thoughts of other people. The native may scatter their energy, paying attention to every detail of the outer world that their biased perception brings into focus. This is a person who thinks they know how the world works, yet because they think this way, they always miss the point. The problem is that they tend to regard their narrow awareness as the whole truth.
They may be overly moralistic toward other people, but they view them through the computerized qualities of their higher mind — as puzzles to be solved — rather than understanding them and their human weaknesses. They bring into this life the karma of expecting too much from the world. This world does not live up to the ideals they built in the past. They achieve happiness when they find the middle ground between these past ideals and the practical reality of everyday life. At some point in this life, they may experience legal difficulties. This may be connected with their emphasis on matters of minor importance. They must learn to establish priorities in order to free the energy of the higher mind from the burden of unnecessary, self-created trivialities.
Retrograde Saturn - Individuality
A native with retrograde Saturn takes very seriously the completion of everything they left unfinished in the past. They tend to go back in order to fill any gaps in what they once too hastily considered complete. Essentially, they are thoughtful and balanced. At times, they may seem overly cautious or too frugal, but any restraint on their part is entirely based on their need to preserve substance for important use. They consider excessive spending or wastefulness harmful, because they experienced this in past lives. Now they deeply value everything they learn or receive. Often, they feel an inner duty to God, which manifests as a powerful sense of gratitude for everything they see around them.
They try to teach other people who are less knowledgeable or experienced than they are. However, this is unsuccessful if those people have not experienced the native’s “fall from grace” in a past life and the great struggle that has now earned them the way back. As a result, retrograde Saturn carries an “inborn” maturity that cannot be achieved without great personal struggle and sacrifice.
Retrograde Saturn - Karma
Retrograde Saturn always indicates ongoing karma from past incarnations. Whatever the lesson may be, the native is unusually slow in bringing it to completion. Therefore, in this life, they must carry an additional burden from a past life within their soul. When the two lives finally come together, their true mission should become clear to them. Much of what they do in this life is a repetition of what their Saturn already stands for. But now they are faced with circumstances and situations that are somewhat different. The retrograde action of the planet may make them feel a restraining force, especially if they try to escape the weight of its lesson. But if they follow it, understanding that its patient guidance is slowly leading them toward identification with something higher than they could have imagined, then through this planet they can come to appreciate the workings of a beautiful divine universe.
Saturn is the person’s teacher, and when it is retrograde, it means the native experienced similar training before this life. Over the course of life, retrograde Saturn provides a tremendous amount of wisdom.
For Saturn, the retrograde position is the most natural and comfortable one, because it gives the native something like a second chance to refine the relationship formed between their soul, the circumstances they encountered in a past incarnation, and the way those circumstances were understood. Now, under Saturn’s calm guidance, the person can give form to everything they learned in the past.
Retrograde Saturn in Leo
Here the native faces the karma of achievement. They do not feel worthy within themselves unless they can outwardly create everything they are capable of. It is important for them to feel significant both to themselves and to others. They strive to command everything they do. And the obstacles they must overcome are truly immense. Often, they will suffer for others, because they gain great satisfaction from taking on other people’s responsibilities. At the same time, they may be domineering and willful.
They bring into this life the karmic residue of power from an era in human history when might made right. And they are overly concerned with being right in the eyes of others. They want to be respected and will go to great lengths to defend positions or crusades for causes that make them appear more in command of themselves. They are a strict parent and a rather formidable opponent, because they are always more concerned with the strength of the position they support than with actually defending themselves. In order to be worthy of the expectations placed upon them in the past, they try to take on the responsibilities of the people around them.
Thus, they live life under the weight of assumed responsibility rather than through a natural existence. They must learn to fulfill their own obligations rather than take on those of others.
Retrograde Saturn in the Seventh House
Here the karma of marriage is experienced in full. The native often feels that their marriage partner is holding them back. If they are not married, they will feel the influence of other people trying to make them return along a path they have already traveled, so they can gain a more balanced and mature view of themselves. In some cases, this placement indicates marriage to an older partner, whom the person may actually have known in a previous incarnation.
The most important lessons are centered on establishing harmony with other people. They know this, but their ego tends to rebel when it becomes difficult. Nevertheless, in past incarnations they learned that their real confidence and security come from others rather than from themselves. They need to feel protected. Essentially, even if they often complain that marriage is boring, they know it is a stabilizing anchor that keeps them from what might otherwise become a disorderly lifestyle.
Karmically, this placement of retrograde Saturn gives the native an opportunity not only to work through childhood issues with a very influential parent by choosing a similar type of marriage partner, but also to share life with another person who, in many cases, appears to be a struggling student, yet in reality turns out to be a teacher. Thus, much can be learned from this placement if the native allows themselves to experience Phase Three of the retrograde process. Through this phase, they can absorb ideas that seem above their current level of maturity.
Retrograde Neptune - Individuality
The individuality of a person with retrograde Neptune is not easy for others to understand. Their motives do not contain the common sense that anyone might expect to find at the root of all motivations. Instead, they are attuned to a higher music that only they can hear. Their perceptions do not come from the material plane; they are a direct connection with their Soul. Thus, they may be very spiritual, but they care little for the formal side of orthodox religion. They may have a great love of music, but cannot be assigned to any particular artificial structure within it. They feel almost everything, but they connect their feelings with physical reality far less than with the perception of the cosmic universe. They know far more than they can even express in words, and here again they recognize the limiting qualities of language, which is merely another formed boundary that can enclose their boundless understanding. They are able to understand the appearances and illusions in which others live, and therefore must try to strike the best possible bargain: not to knock down other people’s sand castles, while still preserving all the inner truths they know.
Retrograde Neptune - Karma
The native with retrograde Neptune is living through the karma of learning how to sort out what is real from the standpoint of their ideals and what only appears to fulfill their dreams. They know what they need, but it is difficult for them to find it in the outer world. Constantly living through dreams, they often get carried away, running from imaginary shadows while chasing unrealistic fantasies. Nevertheless, they must find their ideals in the “formless” world that strongly influences them. They sometimes make the mistake of projecting past dreams into present situations. This prevents them from clearly seeing the reality of the present. They are highly intuitive and, through the various retrograde phases, are often able to know the outcome of situations long before they enter them. But until they learn how to handle the subtle flow of Neptunian energy they feel within themselves, they will not easily trust their intuition.
The native must learn how to blend their feelings with the ideals and dreams they bring into this life. Instead of trying to distort perception in order to make the present conform to the past, the person must realize which parts of the present truly symbolize the karmically unfinished parts of the past.
Retrograde Neptune in Leo
Here the native often experiences an illusion of grandeur. They live within the appearance of a romantic aura, splendor, and all the magnificence of a palace-like illusion.
They spend a great deal of time in Phase One of the retrograde process, and it is important for them to impress others. They cannot realize that this will never bring them the satisfaction they are seeking, because they are just as easily impressed by others. This Neptune placement coincided with the great era of Hollywood, when it was fashionable to identify with movie stars in an attempt to find greater creative power in one’s own image. Crystal chandeliers, velvet chairs, and many other symbols of various movie sets appeared in homes.
On an individual level, this Neptune placement encourages the native to identify with strength and power; at the very least, they must experience the appearance of achievement.
For their own growth, they must raise their consciousness to a level where they can see this need from the standpoint of true spiritual goals, rather than through symbols of beauty they can accumulate on the physical plane. Karmically, they must take the tremendous strength of the positive belief system with which they came into this life, make contact with it, and then help create the better world their Soul dreams of.
Retrograde Neptune in the Seventh House
This placement forces the native to become very independent. They are denied the promised strength of others because of the escapism of the marriage partner or because of the uncertain position of other people in their life. They learn how to trust and rely on themselves. The emphasized retrograde phase will naturally depend on the sign on the cusp of the Seventh House, but it will also strongly depend on the marriage partner.
Usually, the native shows a kind of secondary reaction to the way this planet is used by those they love. Because of their enormous receptivity to other people’s feelings, over the years they become more compassionate, learn to expect less from those who are capable of giving less, and learn how to create more within themselves.
They are living through very spiritual karma, experiencing impersonal love in the area of life where they consciously expected personal love. Some disappointments await them in close relationships, but they are blessed with a tremendous opportunity for Soul growth through sincere self-sacrifice.
They will have to draw a great deal of strength from within themselves, because in this incarnation they will experience great loneliness. And much of the love they expect to receive from other people will in reality be an exact reflection of what they themselves give. Thus, they feel other people’s love less than they see what they themselves give. If they are married, they will repay a karmic debt to their partner through sacrificial love.
Retrograde Pluto - Individuality
The native with retrograde Pluto perceives the troubles of society as a personal reason to transform themselves. They know they cannot change the world, although they would like to do so if it were possible. But they can change the world within themselves by severing ties with everything that has bound them to their unpurified existence. This process takes many years, and sometimes many lifetimes are required to achieve it. In its highest manifestation, it represents true Christ consciousness, bringing the purest form of love to earth.
On a smaller scale and at a more ordinary level, they constantly remove from their life all those factors that hinder the progress of their Soul and the expression of their Spirit.
The native with retrograde Pluto experiences humanity’s struggle as a very personal struggle within themselves. They personally feel the need to overcome within themselves everything that lowers the consciousness of the society in which they live. Therefore, they perceive other people’s dishonesty toward themselves as a personal insult and a challenge to the forward movement they feel they must make for the ultimate good of the civilization of which they are an important part. They must learn to become a little more detached from the habitual patterns and behavioral characteristics of people whose lives have so little in common with their own true inner reality.
Retrograde Pluto - Karma
The native with retrograde Pluto is living through the karma of coming to know mass consciousness within themselves. They feel the impact of world thought and are aware of how it is connected with world thought throughout the centuries. Not always expressing outwardly what they know, they tend to view other people more as part of a greater whole than by relating to them one-on-one. In personal life, what they do is far less important than what they think about what they do. They live much of the time in their consciousness, sifting through a vast multitude of feelings.
The spiritual growth possible with retrograde Pluto is limited only by the native’s conscious mind. They can rise above a significant part of the karma of the entire human race if they choose to. Interestingly enough, if they try to avoid elevating their karma, they will in one way or another feel the lower karmas of the people around them. Thus, if they decide to rise above it, they can truly begin to live the teaching of Jesus: “to be in this world, but not of this world.” In order to ultimately achieve this, they temporarily withdraw from society during the first half of life until they learn to relate impartially to the energy of the world that they feel outside themselves. In the end, they reach a point where they no longer feel the action of this energy within themselves.
Retrograde Pluto in Cancer
With this placement, much time is spent in Phase Three of the retrograde process, as the native continues to examine upheavals in their past. Throughout life, they try to revive their memory system in order to draw out of consciousness everything that once shook them on an emotional level. Unfortunately, this placement tends to fix the native at their traumatic points. Every new person or circumstance in their future is only a symbol of the past they have not left behind. The more effort they make to kill the past or hide it from themselves, the more they focus on it again. The more understanding they try to create within themselves, the more they are drawn back to the causes that made them seek understanding in the first place. Thus, they perform a kind of monotonous mechanical labor until they learn that the power of memories dies with time if it is not constantly fed in a negative way.
Interestingly enough, many people with this placement experienced prolonged trauma with one or both parents; their family crises never seem complete. Although the native constantly tries to bring an end to everything that troubles them, they never truly move away from the source of their difficulties. The entire generation with Pluto in Cancer was emotionally traumatized by the world conditions of that time. War, the destruction caused by Adolf Hitler, and the subsequent breakdown of families left very little room for their emotional security. As a generation, they silently shrink in fear; each individual tends to mentally project their subconscious dependency onto everyone around them. With this placement, there is great inner suffering. This is probably why natives with this retrograde Pluto, who absorb and personify the full consciousness of their age group, try to find substitute security and stability in the world of material possessions.
Of course, the key to ending suffering caused by unpleasant past memories is not to revive them by searching for symbols that recall them, but rather to see each coming day as the birth of something new.
Retrograde Pluto in the Sixth House
Here the native experiences major upheavals in their working conditions, relationships with superiors, and overall sense of duty to the world in terms of give-and-take. They suffer from strange illnesses that often disappear as mysteriously as they arose. They must learn not to personify their sense of mission in life, because if they do, they become universally personal in the most negative sense. Then they actually absorb all the troubles of society subconsciously. This happens because of the person’s subconscious desire to transform the world so that it conforms to their personal ideas of perfection.
They are living through the karma of selfless service, in which all their actions are connected less with their individual identity than with their role in the cosmic plan. Essentially, they function best as a universal missionary. Until they learn this, they will feel a certain bitterness toward the world, which seems to deceive them in everything. When they become introspective during Phase Three of the retrograde process, they actually hurt themselves by withdrawing inward and finding the world and its problems there instead of the identity they are seeking. This happens because they are too actively and constantly absorbed in everything around them. Later, they confuse this with their pure essence.
They achieve happiness when they stop trying to “get to the root of everything” and begin to walk instead. In essence, their entire life is devoted to the usefulness that comes from instinctive understanding, rather than from trying to make subconscious understanding conscious.
LUNAR NODES
Lunar Nodes symbolize the axis of development. The South Node indicates the experience a person has accumulated in past lives, while the North Node shows the experience the person needs to acquire in the current life.
North Node in Sagittarius, South Node in Gemini
A person with the South Node in Gemini is accustomed to an active, mobile way of life. They travel a lot, study, and communicate. However, in this life they need to become more elevated and develop philosophical thinking. Fuss and distraction take up a great deal of time and energy, while solving the same types of tasks does not truly foster growth.
If the person decides to move along the path of the North Node, they will be able to avoid many problems: dependence on the opinions of others, getting bogged down in details, and a lack of independence.
It will be good if the native chooses teaching or scientific work, independently generates progressive ideas, and devotes themselves to spreading new philosophical concepts.

North Node in the Eleventh House - South Node in the Fifth House. Karma of the Higher Goal
The North Node in the Eleventh House of the horoscope indicates that the person should devote a great deal of time to their friends and to participation in collective work. An active social life will be the most correct way to resolve their karmic tasks. If the native follows the path of the South Node, located in the Fifth House, they may encounter difficulties with self-expression and creativity. Relationships with children may develop with difficulty, and hobbies may be short-lived and bring little joy.
The correctly chosen path will bring the native pleasant surprises and discoveries, monetary gifts, unexpected patronage, help, and the generosity of friends.

SELENA
In addition to the North Node, the path of karmic advancement and the application of innate talents is shown by the White Moon, also called Selena or Lulu. This is a fictitious point that reflects the light karma accumulated by the native in a past life, or by their ancestors over several generations. The place where the guardian angel’s sign is located shows the area in which the native has accumulated the greatest number of good deeds. This is where the starry road to success and prosperity now shines, provided the higher qualities of the sign where the White Moon is located are developed and expressed.
Selena (White Moon) in Taurus
Selena in Taurus is in a strong position — exaltation. She has no domicile of her own, but there are signs that double her protective power and endow the native with luck and prosperity in gratitude for the good deeds they performed in a past life.
Every seven years, the crescent of the White Moon reaps the harvest of the native’s good deeds and transforms them into a worthy reward; if there are few such deeds, repayment may likely come in the form of illness, problems with real estate, or the loss of financial resources, for which Taurus is responsible. However, observing the basic moral laws regarding personal and public property and commodity-money relations will become a solid foundation for the unconditional protection of the Higher Powers, especially if the person knows the nuances of the guardian planet’s influence in this zodiac sign.

LILITH
Lilith is considered a demon-temptress, but it is often not understood that at the highest level of consciousness development, she ceases to be a source of danger and, on the contrary, strengthens a person’s talents according to the sign and house in which she is placed.
For this reason, it is very important to bring one’s Lilith out of darkness and into the light. Then the courage for new exploration can manifest on a positive, creative level. This is a fictitious point in the horoscope, not a planet, but its power is often underestimated, while working through it is often considered impossible. However, the right actions and symbolism can work wonders.
Lilith shows the bottom, the darkest side of the person: the dark pit into which the native may fall if they give in to the temptation of lower vibrations and follow the path marked by Lilith. This should be kept in mind when reading a horoscope.
Lilith (Black Moon) in Libra
With this position of Lilith, sensuality in all its force may be experienced in marital relationships and intimate closeness. Still, it can be sublimated, if not into spiritual strength, then into creative energy directed toward the world of art, or through full immersion in social activity or certain cultural events. The person will have to give up the role of prosecutor, investigator, bribe-taker, deceiver, adventurer, and fraudster. It is considered together with the positions of Venus, the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Pluto, and the Seventh House of the horoscope.

Lilith in the 9th House
Here Lilith intensifies attraction to corrupt forms of the exotic. Problems most often arise during long-distance trips, extended travels, or in contacts with foreigners or people of another faith or culture. Far from their native home, the person may find themselves abandoned to the mercy of fate and endure many trials, insults, and humiliations, because other people’s grievances, both from their own people and from strangers, will be taken out on them. Heightened sexual potential, seduction, and temptation may strike back at the person like a boomerang. The person’s missionary activity may also prove problematic. At first it may be accepted as something natural, but later loud scandals and revelations are possible. Now it would be better for the person to live peacefully in their native home, in their homeland, and go about their own affairs among relatives and loved ones, because happiness is unlikely to await them far from the family hearth.

Lilith Aspects:
PART OF FORTUNE
The Part of Fortune represents the path on which a person can achieve the greatest joy and fulfillment. It then becomes obvious that the Part of Fortune has much to do with how well a person meets and overcomes their negative karma, while at the same time creating and accepting the rewards of their positive karma.
The Part of Fortune, like the planet Jupiter, promises abundance. However, it encompasses a significantly larger part of a person’s existence than any specific planet. The Part of Fortune attunes the individual to the environment in which prosperity will be most natural for them, and determines for each person what their unique and special concept of success will be. It also shows the person’s strongest need, defining the keynote to which their entire being resonates.
Part of Fortune in Aries
The Part of Fortune in Aries brings success in all matters indicated by the essential nature of the sign Aries. The stimulus for success is healthy pride, remarkable self-confidence, restlessness of spirit, a scientific way of thinking, logical reasoning, as well as decisiveness, emotional and physical vitality, spiritedness, ambition, courage, bravery, perseverance, persistence, initiative, enterprise, great drive, optimism, enthusiasm, a desire for outward activity, headlong Martian energy, nobility, generosity, goodwill, and magnanimity.
Here, the Part of Fortune brings income from service in the army, security and law enforcement agencies, and from professions connected with fire and hot shops, iron and metals, medicine, especially surgery, or animal meat. Success is also promised in public service, political or social activity, and scientific research. Administrative activity and sports disciplines are indicated. However, in all these matters, caution should be exercised during periods when the transiting Sun and Mars are in conjunction, opposition, or square with each other or with other malefic planets. If the Sun and Mars form these malefic aspects in the Radix, Martian professions should not be chosen.
If afflicted, one must take into account the negative traits of the individual, which will adversely affect their activity. Here, they will have to reckon with quick irritability, excitability, hot temper, and impulsiveness. Haste, rashness in decisions and actions, impatience, unbridled passions, anger, aggression, militancy, a tendency toward violence, and sensuality in the form of despotism and tyranny play a major negative role.
Historical figures with the Part of Fortune in Aries: George Washington, Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, Frédéric Chopin, Louis Pasteur, Clara Barton, Albert Einstein.

Part of Fortune in the Second House
The Part of Fortune in the Second House is the best position for obtaining good earnings and income, acquiring material and spiritual values, making investments, and carrying out financial transactions. Material expansion strengthens the possessive instinct, while the Part of Fortune gives the opportunity for enrichment, though through the person’s own capacity for work and endurance.
Here, the chances of success and prosperity increase in all matters connected with money and values. The greatest earnings come from activities related to banking and stock-exchange operations, scientific and religious work, jurisprudence, pedagogy and higher education, as well as music, vocal art, literary activity, and cultural events. A second factor that strengthens the material position is a lucky chance, for example, winning the lottery or at the races. However, despite the favorable financial position of the Part of Fortune, speculation should still be avoided here. Operations involving other people’s money, someone else’s capital, or a rich inheritance often bring great profit, as does close business cooperation with a marriage partner.
The Part of Fortune brings the greatest profit when it forms a conjunction with the cusp of this House of the horoscope or with the ruler of this House.

VERTEX
In the western hemisphere of every natal chart, a very important point can be found: the Vertex. It is compared to a handle on the gates of fate, which must be turned so that the doors open and allow the native into a new dimension. This is not just a point, but the peak of a sensitive axis in the horoscope, along which the electric current of karma flows. The Vertex is also called the electric Ascendant. It is activated unexpectedly during truly emotional periods of life.
The sign where this turning point of fate is located is at once an arena of passions, the scenery of the circumstances offered by life, and a clue to what exactly the native should develop within themselves. The aspects of the Vertex show talents and skills that are already present from the beginning, helping the native correspond to the scenario proposed by fate. These are magical tools that help the person pass through trials with honor and gain positive new experience in the houses where the Vertex is placed. More...
Strength Concentration (Astrodynes)
This section examines the concentration of energy in the natal chart: which signs, planets, and houses contain the main strength. Everyone knows the Sun zodiac sign, but when the signs are viewed through the prism of the natal chart, it becomes clear how energy is distributed between the two strongest signs, and the Sun sign is not always dominant.
The signs give an idea of natural, instinctive motivations, such as likes and dislikes, attitudes, and reactions, and make it possible to judge whether a calling is present. The two strongest signs are shown in the table below. For more details about the distribution of strength in the natal chart, see the “Astrodynes” section: link to the Astrodynes chart.
| Sign | Strength |
|---|---|
| z Capricorn | 170 |
| l Sagittarius | 162 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (12 Signs) | 870 |
Now the planets that concentrate the main energy in the chart can be identified. The planet with the greatest number of “astrodynes” is considered the strongest planet in the chart, since it reflects the most powerful energetic potential. Why are strong planets so important? The most powerful planets in the table indicate potential that can easily be transformed into abilities. This is where the person can succeed and achieve the best results.
| Planet | Strength |
|---|---|
| T Mars | 70 |
| W Moon | 58 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Planets) | 553 |
By the same principle, the strongest houses emphasize the environment or sphere of life where it is easier for a person to practice and develop their skills.
| House | Strength |
|---|---|
| First House | 240 |
| Eleventh House | 135 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Houses) | 870 |
