Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy - 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: 44.51
Harmony: 10.33
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 Capricorn z 16°
People born under the sign of Capricorn are distinguished by an incredibly strong sense of purpose and resilience in the face of all kinds of life difficulties. The description of a Capricorn Sun shows an embodiment of strength and spirit, whether in a woman or a man. There is no task this true representative of the Earth element cannot handle. At the same time, they are proud and self-confident, which often becomes a source of conflict with others and misunderstanding in relationships with loved ones.

Q Sun in the 12th House
TWELFTH HOUSE (House of secrets, sorrow, and self-sacrifice). SUN (planet of vital energy and individuality) in the Twelfth House: the native loves solitude and quiet, and can find joy in meditation and reflection. They are reserved, find it difficult to express themselves, and grow close to only a few people. Success usually comes to them with age. Strength: a deep, spiritual mind. Weakness: they usually live a secluded or lonely life.
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: 48.11
Harmony: -3.32
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 Aquarius x 10° - Ruler: Uranus and Saturn
Uranus, the senior ruler of the sign Aquarius, is the planet of freedom and revolutionary spirit. It makes typical Aquarians unusual personalities who are not always easy for others to understand. The main characteristic of this sign is love of freedom. Freedom matters to them in relationships, sometimes even freedom from relationships, as well as the freedom to move wherever they wish. They cannot tolerate restrictions or rigid boundaries. Yet an excessive love of freedom may leave them completely alone.
People born with Aquarius Rising tend to be altruistic, friendly, somewhat detached, impartial, humane, sociable, intellectual, freedom-loving, rebellious, independent, and unusual. They are here to learn altruism and brotherhood, and to work for the common good, sometimes neglecting themselves and their own needs for the sake of friends and acquaintances. They have an absolutely unique view of things, unlike anyone else’s. They can be highly original and inventive, and at times perhaps eccentric and bohemian. They are prone to vague, sudden impulses and may at times be extremely intuitive. With good mental abilities, they also have organizational skills and practical sense. They are intelligent, though sometimes cool and calculating when they feel anxious. A certain detachment is also characteristic of them. They cannot tolerate possessiveness or jealousy and constantly need personal freedom. Depending on whether Saturn or Uranus predominates in the natal chart, caution, coldness, and selfishness may be more pronounced. With a strong Saturn, there is more altruism, love of freedom, and free thinking when Uranus is strong. If Uranus has the stronger influence, spiritual values will clearly prevail over worldly materialism.
The main lesson to learn: relate to people with warmth — think less with the head and more with the heart.
Uranus and Saturn generally rule Aquarius, so Saturn and Uranus will play an important role in the natal chart. Read more...
Ascendant Aspects:
MIDHEAVEN (MC)
Strength: 23.69
Harmony: -2.56
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 Sagittarius l 01° - Ruler: Jupiter and Neptune
Rulers: Jupiter and Neptune. With the MC in Sagittarius, the person’s desire for spiritual growth and the expansion of spiritual horizons is clearly visible. They try to move beyond the world into which they were born. People with the Midheaven in Sagittarius more often than others are connected with higher education, often have a gift for languages, love to travel, have many acquaintances around the world, and will almost certainly visit another country at least once.
Very often, their profession is connected with foreign cultures, scientific research, trips abroad, and communication with foreigners. Or these people devote themselves completely to spiritual service.
The nature and characteristics of the driving forces behind social advancement are evaluated by the cosmic status and configurations of the Midheaven and the planets in the Tenth House, as well as by the rulers of the MC, Jupiter and Neptune, both with each other and with other planets and elements of the horoscope. If they are strong and unafflicted, they open every road, both literally and figuratively. People with such indicators can achieve a great deal: reach the highest levels of the social ladder, become respected and well-known, receive their share of fame and honors, acquire considerable social influence, and affect public opinion. In this case, they do not need to take roundabout paths; the road, as the saying goes, runs beneath the horse’s hooves.
If the Midheaven or its rulers have negative aspects, especially to malefic planets, this indicates that the person’s path to the dream will not be strewn with roses and that many obstacles will have to be overcome. It may also suggest that in pursuing the goal, the person will not always act by righteous means. Read more...
MOON
Strength: 30.93
Harmony: 13.45
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 Cancer f 21°
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.
Lunar Cancers are very easily affected by the emotional atmosphere around them. They absorb every feeling like a sponge. Most likely, this is why they can become overly moody, irritable, and changeable in thought and feeling.
Read more...
W Moon in the 6th House
SIXTH HOUSE (House of service and health). MOON (planet of emotions and instincts) in the Sixth House: the native will probably change jobs often until they find something that truly suits them. Dissatisfaction with work may affect their health. They are predisposed to stomach problems. Strengths: intuition and imagination in professional activity. Weaknesses: inconsistency and reluctance to take responsibility.

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: 32.72
Harmony: -3.30
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 Sagittarius l 29°
People born with Mercury in Sagittarius have the gift of foresight. Their mind is often occupied with big ideas, plans, and goals for the future. They are interested in reaching what lies on the horizon.
Read more...
E Mercury in the 11th House
ELEVENTH HOUSE (House of hopes, wishes, and friends). MERCURY (planet of the mind) in the Eleventh House: the native probably has many acquaintances, since they can adapt to different people. Their friendships are based on intellectual affinity. They enjoy social life and take part in groups, clubs, and societies. Strength: they find original ways to achieve their goals. Weaknesses: impracticality and/or cynicism.
Read more...
Mercury Aspects:
VENUS
Strength: 42.68
Harmony: 5.45
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 Aquarius x 13°
People born with Venus under the sign of Aquarius in the natal chart express affection in an open, unconventional, and uniquely personal way. It is very typical for them to take part in social activities that bring people together.
Read more...
R Venus in the 1st House
FIRST HOUSE (House of personality). VENUS (planet of love and pleasure) in the First House: the native is affectionate, flirtatious, and usually beautiful. They are charming in communication and try to avoid loneliness. It is important for them to look good, and they are inclined to spend too much money on themselves. Strengths: capacity for sympathy, artistry, a strong love of pleasure and luxury.
Read more...
Venus Aspects:
MARS
Strength: 55.39
Harmony: -11.09
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 Aquarius x 12°
The energy of people born with Mars in the sign of Aquarius is expressed in a unique and original way. They may even be brilliant in the way they think. They are inventive, interested in science, somewhat eccentric, unconventional, and possibly rebellious in their ideas.
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: 39.92
Harmony: -2.97
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 Gemini d 23°
People born with Jupiter in Gemini in the natal chart are intelligent, witty, and cheerful. They love to travel, gaining experience and knowledge from the events they encounter and the people they meet.
Read more...
Y Jupiter in the 5th House
FIFTH HOUSE (House of creation and sex). JUPITER (planet of luck and expansiveness) in the Fifth House: many kinds of leisure bring the native pleasure. They give special preference to sports competitions, parties, and the theater. If there are no opposing influences in the horoscope, they will be lucky in stock exchange operations. They are sometimes careless in love affairs. Strength: children bring them happiness. Weaknesses: extravagance and gambling sometimes bring them losses.
Read more...
Jupiter Aspects:
SATURN
Strength: 36.43
Harmony: -8.57
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 Pisces c 12°
For Pisces with Saturn in the natal chart, it is quite difficult to set boundaries both for themselves and for others, and also to be disciplined and organized, no matter how much they may want to. Things tend to get lost in the chaos of everyday life.
Read more...
U Saturn in the 1st House
FIRST HOUSE (House of personality). SATURN (planet of discipline and limitations) in the First House: the native is persistent and has organizational abilities and self-discipline. They are patient, somewhat shy, and deep in their soul there is nervousness, which they keep under control. They strive for recognition of their talents and work. Strengths: diligence, endurance, heightened sense of responsibility. Weaknesses: stubbornness and conservatism, fear of everything new, secrecy.
Read more...
Saturn Aspects:
URANUS
Strength: 52.05
Harmony: 5.92
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 7th House
SEVENTH HOUSE - House of marriage and partnership. URANUS (planet of change and originality) in the Seventh House: a partnership or marriage may begin suddenly for the native. They are drawn to unusual people and will most likely choose an intellectually stimulating spouse. Such a union will attract attention from others. However, Uranus in the Seventh House also points to the possibility of an unexpected divorce and remarriage. Strength: they can achieve their goals through a marriage partner. Weakness: their need for independence may provoke jealousy or undermine the marriage.
Read more...
Uranus Aspects:
NEPTUNE
Strength: 33.66
Harmony: 16.28
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 9th House
NINTH HOUSE (House of exploration and education). NEPTUNE (planet of spirituality and illusions) in the Ninth House: the native is interested in deep questions, perhaps of a philosophical or mystical nature. They are imaginative and perceptive and could become a good teacher or lawyer. Complications may arise during travel abroad. Strengths: foresight and idealism. Weakness: dissatisfaction with their fate.
Read more...
Neptune Aspects:
PLUTO
Strength: 66.19
Harmony: 1.16
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 7th House
SEVENTH HOUSE - House of marriage and partnership. PLUTO (planet of transformation) in the Seventh House: the native is intense and domineering in relationships with people. They seek fulfillment in marriage and are emotionally demanding. Pluto in the Seventh House points to a secret marriage or a marriage connected with escape or elopement. Business partnerships are likely to be successful. Strength: they intuitively sense the partner’s needs. Weaknesses: conflict-proneness, jealousy, and excessive emotionality.
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 1st 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.
The action of Chiron in the First House is the strongest. Cunning, craftiness, the ability to flatter, diplomatic abilities, and adaptability are second nature to people with this position of Chiron, while the art of combining opposites is their special talent. These are chameleon-like people, Figaro squared or even cubed. They are capable of being one thing and another at the same time, serving both sides, engaging in several matters at once, and skillfully changing the tactics of a conversation, their state of mind, and even their outward appearance. There are many examples of this in life: a physicist may also be a wonderful poet filled with romance and lyricism; a mathematician may play the violin brilliantly; an astronaut may have the talent of an artist; and a scholar may be an unsurpassed spy.

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 - x 10°
Strength: 204.72
Harmony: -18.19
1st House in Aquarius - Ruler of Uranus and Saturn
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 Aquarius gives a person a sincerely friendly manner of communication. Even when they feel deeply troubled inside, they will find the strength to smile at the person they are speaking with and offer an elegant compliment. Thanks to their inner warmth, the native’s bright and unconventional personality does not irritate others, but instead encourages them to get to know the person better and learn more about their incredible adventures and mystical experiences, since a person with the Ascendant in Aquarius is fascinated by everything mysterious and unknown.
Uranus and Saturn rule Aquarius, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the First House (Ascendant).
Read more...
2nd HOUSE - c 28°
Strength: 32.24
Harmony: 0.56
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 - s 05°
Strength: 21.34
Harmony: 2.73
3rd House in Taurus - Ruler of Venus
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.
If the Third House is in Taurus, the native seeks coziness and comfort both in communication and in the way they express themselves in these areas. A friendly atmosphere in the classroom is important to them, but if the school is poorly furnished, with shabby desks and dark walls, they will not have happy memories of their years of study.
Venus rules Taurus, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Third House.
Read more...
4th HOUSE - d 01°
Strength: 16.36
Harmony: -1.65
4th House in Gemini - Ruler of Mercury
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.
The cusp of the Fourth House in Gemini symbolizes moves or travel from early childhood, as well as the native’s early intellectual development. They are sent to kindergarten or nursery early, or an intellectual mother becomes deeply involved in raising the little genius.
Mercury rules Gemini, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Fourth House.

5th HOUSE - d 22°
Strength: 56.28
Harmony: -4.62
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 - f 13°
Strength: 46.39
Harmony: 20.18
6th House in Cancer - Ruler of Moon
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 Sixth House in Cancer is responsible for emotional experiences, so themes of health, duties, debts, pets, and earnings will act as triggers that activate deep feelings. This creates an exaggerated sense of importance around everything listed above, both in the native’s own attitude and in their expectation that others will approach these matters responsibly.
The Moon rules Cancer, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Sixth House.

7th HOUSE - g 10°
Strength: 140.49
Harmony: 12.25
7th House in Leo - Ruler of Sun
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.
If the Seventh House is in Leo, then the Ascendant and, accordingly, the First House of personality fall in Aquarius, making the native a bright, independent person with great ambitions and high hopes for a successful personal life. They are driven by a passion for finding a star-like partner, someone whose presence will make everyone admire their couple.
The Sun rules Leo, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Seventh House.

8th HOUSE - h 28°
Strength: 27.03
Harmony: -0.29
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.
If this House falls into the realm of Scorpio, the person is drawn to secret knowledge and esotericism. They cannot resist studying the dark side of consciousness, although they do so with the best intentions, wishing to eradicate evil in their own soul and help others. But by burning away the darkness too quickly, they risk facing a psychological crisis. They fight for social justice and are ready to go to the stake for a righteous cause.
The senior ruler Pluto and the junior ruler Mars rule Scorpio, so both Mars and Pluto will play an important role when analyzing the Ninth House.

10th House in Sagittarius - Ruler of Jupiter and Neptune
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.
Usually, the native with the Tenth House in Sagittarius feels confined within the limits of a small town or a single country. They intuitively choose a profession that allows them to travel a lot and communicate, preferably in foreign languages. Having chosen an inspiring field of activity, they discover that circumstances seem to fall into place on their own: the right people appear, profitable offers come in, even without special connections or acquaintances. Fate always calls the native with the Midheaven in Sagittarius upward.
The senior ruler Jupiter and the junior ruler Neptune rule Sagittarius, so their influence should be taken into account 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 Capricorn - Ruler of Saturn and Uranus
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.
With the Twelfth House in Capricorn, the person may turn out to be exceptionally goal-oriented and very practical, while subconsciously avoiding their inner problems by loading themselves with all kinds of work so heavily that they have no time left to face themselves.
The senior ruler Saturn and the junior ruler Uranus rule Capricorn, 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 Venus — Individuality
A person with retrograde Venus differs noticeably from a person with Venus in direct motion. Here, there is a tendency to create grievances and wounds within and work through them internally, whereas Venus in direct motion would try to work them through outwardly. Often, retrograde Venus not only creates these grievances and wounds, but also tends to exaggerate their effect. Excessive emphasis is placed on the lack of love in the individual’s life. For such a person, the path of love does not flow smoothly.
Excessively shy, they usually doubt whether people pay attention to them. Not always certain of their likes and dislikes, they experience a discrepancy between their life and their awareness of it. They may be deeply in love and not realize it until years after the relationship has ended. They experience many similar behavior patterns designed to keep them from entering the reality of what they think they truly need.
There is always difficulty with the opposite sex, since the individual tends to subconsciously preprogram their future relationships so that they fit the patterns of their past.
Great insecurity corresponds to this position, since the individual constantly tries to measure up to the people whose paths cross theirs. But in doing so, they semi-consciously continue pushing others away so that no one truly comes to know them deeply enough to threaten the small degree of confidence and security on which they have based their identity. In this position, the individual blocks themselves from happiness by trying too hard to achieve it.
Retrograde Venus — Karma
When Venus is retrograde, the individual carries with them a misunderstanding of love from a past life. The emotional pain was so strong that they now cut themselves off from fully experiencing the richness of love because they are afraid of being wounded again. Whether male or female, there is great difficulty in relationships with the opposite sex in the current life.
Trying to live in the present, they endlessly recreate the past memory of love from a previous incarnation, which continues to elude them. They react to the present as if they are actually living in their past. In this sense, they are fixed at some point in time, and no matter what they do, there will hardly be the forward movement they say they want.
In men’s charts, this sometimes indicates karma connected with homosexuality. But even homosexuality has its levels, ranging from an openly homosexual man who tries to politically promote homosexuality to the world, to a man who will not tolerate even the word in his presence, who is married but looks for every opportunity to avoid women while proving his masculinity. In the life of the latter type of man, everything revolves around male friends. Under the pretext of attending clubs, associations, and so on, he avoids the company of women. He may function respectably in society, but he is still a latent homosexual. Less often, similar reactions are found in women with retrograde Venus.
The most noticeable karmic pattern is that the individual, whether male or female, has a strong tendency to distrust most offers of love, feeling that those who make these offers usually have hidden motives.
Retrograde Venus in Aquarius
Here, the individual feels most comfortable during Phase I of the retrograde process. They can explore needs whose glimpses they sense before these needs become real in their life. At times, they may become commanding and domineering in their desire to help others, sometimes unintentionally interfering with them. They are very independent and cannot easily accept restrictions. Their attachments are spread among so many things, people, and circumstances that those close to them cannot focus their energy. Much of this scattering, however, is simply a reflection of their very changeable nature. They are usually overly sensitive to their environment and must change their approach to life in order to feel balanced.
They may be a rebel, love their freedom, and cannot tolerate people imposing their will on them. At the same time, they feel they know what is best for others. Thus, there appears to be a lack of perspective in their personal relationships.
They have a greedy interest in almost everything and tend to come into contact with some very strange people. Everything conventional and traditional is too boring for them to focus on for any length of time, yet they need a sense of reliability and security. In fact, they are not very sure of themselves and would not want others to know this.
During Phase I, they actively explore the unknown, while during Phase III they reexamine unknown or little-used fragments of knowledge from the past. It is during the third phase that many people with this retrograde Venus position enjoy studying ancient civilizations or little-known documents from other periods in history. For many, this position brings a great interest in astrology and esoteric subjects. If all the artificial layers of the individual’s life are removed, this is a very lonely person. Their selfless need to help other people is actually a mask for their attempts to earn their way back into humanity, which in another incarnation somehow rejected them. Thus, they never expect complete closeness for any long period of time, but they are simply content to know that their beliefs and ideas are now accepted. And they will do their utmost simply to earn this acceptance.
Retrograde Venus in the First House
This individual needs a great deal of attention, yet never feels completely satisfied. They are concerned with how they appear to others and are very self-centered, since feelings of self-love rise much more strongly on the conscious level than on the subconscious one. In the constant search for more attention, this individual experiences contradictory feelings about themselves. Although they think of themselves as a being of love, they apparently do not understand how much love should be given to others. They give either too much or not enough. In general, the “amount of love” they experience, whether giving or receiving, does not correspond to the situation.
They want to be allowed to live their own life, yet they themselves cling too strongly to others out of fear of being alone. This conflict can create numerous problems in the sphere of relationships, as well as in marriage. In their love experiences, they pass through the three-phase retrograde process, which continues to emphasize either the positive or negative nature more in accordance with the pattern of the phase they are in than with whether their reactions to the circumstances of relationships with other people are justified. They will not necessarily be giving in love, but may absorb a great deal of love from others. They need this for self-confidence.
This position is most difficult during Phase II of the retrograde process — the need for harmony combined with the First House’s expression of unity within oneself cannot withstand the cross-vibration for a long period of time. The person feels most at home in Phase I, when expectations are stirred to the highest level. Even in this phase, when they try to emphasize their Venus positively in order to bring themselves into the future, they nevertheless experience the naturally negative magnetic quality of Venus, because of which they expect to be the recipient of love. The key to happiness in this position is based on realistic self-acceptance.
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 Gemini
This is one of the most difficult placements for retrograde Jupiter, because the native is learning to unite the lower and higher mind after a series of lives marked by conflict between them. They have become accustomed to basing their philosophy of life on other people’s ideas. Thus, they have learned to subconsciously separate themselves from their own truth, while their philosophical values and ideas have been strongly influenced by those around them.
They absorb the ideas of one person after another without fully understanding what is true for them personally. Experiencing restlessness during Phase Three of the retrograde process, when they take in other people’s truths, they become anxious to pass on every piece of information they have learned to those they are about to meet. During Phase One, they give out a great deal of information along with misinformation, because they have not taken the time to sort it out for themselves.
In this life, they must learn to focus their ideas and impulses and observe how other people use them. Often, they watch the lives of others. This causes disappointment until they learn to look at life practically, discerning which truths expressed by other people they should accept and which they should disregard as inapplicable. Above all, they must learn not to force other people to think as they do. Their greatest problem is that they consider their own viewpoint the most correct one and impose it on those they instruct.
Retrograde Jupiter in the Fifth House
Here the native spends most of their time in Phase One of the retrograde process. They reach outward in order to express the creative attitudes they developed in a past incarnation. They view life on a grand scale, while seeing the boundaries of traditional society as a stone-paved path whose limits they must cross at any cost. If the rest of the horoscope is strong, this adds a domineering quality to their nature.
A person whose chart contains many squares, as well as an emphasis on fixed signs, Capricorn, or an angular Saturn, does not pay attention to the advice of others. The person seems to invade other people’s psychic space without realizing that they are doing so. Their own goals are very high, but they often overestimate their ability to achieve them. At times, they may expect too much from children, wanting them to accomplish what they themselves have not been able to achieve. They live by the motto: “Do not hold me back!” as they rush forward to try everything life has to offer. At the same time, their great pride prevents them from allowing themselves to be embarrassed in the eyes of others. They would rather dart from one creative experience to another than allow the people whose respect they desire to think poorly of them. They live by the principle that if they can run through a downpour quickly enough, they will not get wet.
This is a difficult placement for marriage and long-term relationships, because the native’s highest truth is always connected with their own opinion of themselves, rather than with an assessment of the criticism they might receive if they allowed other people to know them well enough.
Here the individual sense of identity is based on the discrepancy between the ideals established in past incarnations and everything the native creates in this life. Thus, this is truly a person who is “what they think, becoming what they have thought,” and in later years they will come to know themselves through everything they have created.
Retrograde Uranus - Individuality
A person with retrograde Uranus reveals a rather unique individuality.
At the deepest levels, they are a rebel against everything that binds them. If the person is timid, they may experience claustrophobia. If they are fearless, they will try to overturn everything they believe has outlived its usefulness. They cannot be satisfied with simply moving through life, because they see too many things that could enrich humanity if only society would shake off all its false anchors of security.
They become uneasy if other people respond to them too favorably, because then they feel they have lost a significant part of themselves. Therefore, from time to time, they will lose friends and acquaintances, sometimes jobs and romantic attachments, all because other people often find it too difficult to accept the unusual nature of their ideas. Yet years later, when society begins to defend everything they once stood for, they will no longer be interested in all the progressive theories or positions they promoted in their time. In this way, they are very much a herald of the future. Because of this, they may experience loneliness, but they would never give up their gift of originality for the company of other people. They know that, above all, their Soul must be free. Anything that obstructs this freedom, they will sweep out of their path.
For those who are able to understand them, they are a most fascinating conversationalist, because they are literally filled with all the ideas humanity needs for the future of the human race.
Retrograde Uranus - Karma
On a personal level, retrograde Uranus creates disorder in human relationships. The native experiences an inner changeability that often makes them hypocritical toward themselves. Their mental and emotional levels often struggle with each other, so they may know certain things that should lead them in the direction indicated by their knowledge, while at the same time feeling other things that may lead them in an entirely different direction.
They are living through the karma of learning how to express the inner freedom they bring into this life. And they must not be bound by attempts to explain the meaning of everything all the time, either to others or even to themselves. A free spirit does not always appear to make sense. The fact is that the logical extension of common sense in a person is more of a Saturnian trait, connected with the rigidity of order, discipline, and directing oneself toward specific goals. But the native with retrograde Uranus is not living through that kind of karma.
In order to explore their inner existence, as well as many other realms of understanding that humanity as a whole has not yet reached, they follow a long and winding path in search of the formulas that make the world work. Nevertheless, they know that their search is an endless process, because every new discovery leads to yet another question. They can be extremely happy as long as others do not try to force them into patterns of thought and behavior whose limits they have already crossed, because of the meaninglessness of the roles those patterns play in their perception of the greater design.
They learned how to be independent in previous incarnations, and now they must use that independence to rediscover and understand the reason they originally wanted it.
Retrograde Uranus in Virgo
Here the native experiences Phase One of the retrograde process, as they try to mentally organize everything within themselves, planning the future order of everything they see around them. Their ability to think clearly is fantastic, but they tend to jump to conclusions. Knowing how things should be, they must learn patience in order to create the kind of world that corresponds to their perception.
They move through life on large reserves of nervous energy, doing everything immediately. Above all, they are a doer. The problem is that they do not always remain faithful to certain things long enough to fully complete them or reach a deep level of satisfaction through them.
In a positive sense, this placement can add a touch of genius and clairvoyance to the horoscope. The level and nature of awareness are immediate. The power of insight is very strong when it comes to practical benefit for others. It is much more difficult, however, for the native to understand themselves.
Karmically, they bring many ideas into this life and must learn how to put them into practice. They must overcome their tendency to constantly fly from one thing to another; otherwise, they will use up all the joys of life so quickly that they may actually become satiated at a young age.
If they turn their consciousness toward spiritual levels, they will discover that they are one of the most aware people in the entire Zodiac.
Retrograde Uranus in the Seventh House
Here the native feels the need to develop confidence in their own strength. Essentially, they tend to attract people whom they believe they can rely on. But because these people are “Uranian” by nature, their unreliability forces the native to become stronger within themselves.
This placement of retrograde Uranus signifies the “reaping” of karmic fruits, especially in the areas of marriage and relationships, until the native learns how to become more objective in defining their needs. They must come to understand that in past lives they expected too much from others, and that continuing such patterns is unrealistic as well as unnecessary.
This position often indicates more than one marriage. It also indicates difficulty maintaining a certain level of sexual warmth with the opposite sex. Relationships become a kaleidoscope of unexpected events that seem constantly threatened with collapse. Once the native can realize that, on the Soul level, they are their own partner, others will change their attitude toward them. Before this happens, other people will relate to their Uranian or impersonal part, while the native expects them to connect with their personal part. Thus, this placement brings tremendous forced growth of the Soul, as the native learns, perhaps after many lifetimes, to finally stand on their own feet.
The retrograde phase they experience will constantly change according to the nature of the person they are interacting with, because the native is constantly trying to synchronize themselves with others until they learn that they do not have to do this. Then they will develop an inner awareness of their cosmic connection with every person they come into contact with.
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 Virgo
With this placement, the world entered an era of analysis. Mass consciousness began to strive for an understanding of the mechanism that created its defects. Psychoanalysis came into fashion, and literally thousands of new ways of entering the human mind began to be explored. The effect of “putting everything in its proper place” permeated the world, as humanity tried to sort out everything that makes the world what it is.
In an individual chart, this placement supports the ability for inner concentration. The person can focus their subconscious so strongly that they become a true dynamo in the particular areas toward which they direct their attention. At the same time, the retrograde nature of the planet creates a desire for noninterference from external sources. The person actually takes pleasure in working things out and solving them for themselves.
As a result, they are the one who has solved their own riddles and knows what makes them worth solving. In the realm of consciousness, they experience Phase One of the retrograde process; in the realm of active life experience, their timidity with people is a classic expression of Phase Three.
Karmically, the person seeks an understanding of how things work. Their approach to life seems somewhat mechanistic, but this is the path by which they reach the clearest understanding.
Retrograde Pluto in the Seventh House
Here the native experiences major obstacles that must be overcome in their relationships with other people. In marriage, they may seem to subconsciously destroy the harmony they think they are seeking. Spending much energy trying to reform other people, they do not always see themselves clearly. With this Pluto placement, the person experiences all three retrograde phases, because so much depends on the individual with whom they are involved at any given moment in time.
All people have at least two different basic concepts of their “self.” One is based on what a person thinks of themselves, and the other on what they believe others think of them. The native with retrograde Pluto in the Seventh House is karmically working on transforming precisely this second “self.” As a result, the environment they enter controls them more than they realize. Constantly absorbing external awareness of their outer life, they become a curious blend of everything society thinks at any given time, along with the strong subconscious hostility of the first or original “self” because of its inability to truly express its own nature, free from society’s influence. Consequently, this is an extremely difficult placement for marriage, because any close relationship only intensifies this struggle between fitting into some niche and the secret desire to destroy everything in the world that creates such niches.
Significant transformation occurs when they discover the true foundation of their reality. The fact is that society, including the institutions it creates that bind a person, is exactly what they need, because it forces them to resonate with the essence of life itself.
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 Gemini, South Node in Sagittarius
The mission of a person with the North Node in Gemini lies in any kind of intellectual activity. This may be the work of a writer, scholar, translator, journalist, and so on. A person with this Node should also develop communication, mediation, and commercial skills, even if this is difficult for them.
Activities connected with teaching, philosophy, religion, and travel are undesirable for people with the South Node in Sagittarius. In this life, it is important for them to learn themselves rather than lecture others and hand out advice. It may become clear that the native’s knowledge is too abstract and cannot be applied to solving specific tasks. In this situation, they need to communicate as much as possible, look for new sources of information, respond quickly to changes in the surrounding world, and apply recently acquired skills.

North Node in the Fourth House - South Node in the Tenth House. Karma of Roots
The North Node in the Fourth House indicates the need to invest in family, respect traditional values, and maintain a connection with parents and children. It will be good if the person resolves the issue of their own home as early as possible and creates a comfortable, cozy atmosphere there. Activities connected with cooking, raising children, and organizing a harmonious space are favorable.
The native should not be ambitious or overly pragmatic. Career aspirations will be difficult to realize if the person does not have a solid foundation in the form of family.
In a broader sense, the North Node in the Fourth House symbolizes service to the homeland and love for one’s country. Recognition and success will come to the person if they choose a profession such as historian, military service member, politician, and so on, and honestly fulfill their duty.

Lunar Node Aspects:
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 Capricorn
The White Moon (Selena) in Capricorn means that in a previous life, her ward left behind idle worldly pleasures for the sake of serving loved ones in harsh conditions, making do with little in everyday life while generously giving the light of their soul to those around them.
This may have been the path of a monk, yogi, or physician who devoted themselves to prayer and healing practices. In a woman’s horoscope, there is a possibility of renouncing worldly joys for the sake of monastic service or a family act of devotion, such as adopting the children of deceased relatives or working as a nurse in a military hospital. Now Selena in Capricorn will not demand radical sacrifices, but it is necessary to develop Saturn’s higher qualities — discipline, punctuality, responsibility, and moderation in everything.

Selena in the 12th House
The White Moon in the Twelfth House appears in people who have almost completely worked through the problems of karma, who in a past incarnation observed the commandment to love their enemies, and who sacrificed themselves for the sake of loved ones or the people of their country. Now they are given boundless freedom to realize their plans and strong protection from intrigues, provided that all their actions benefit those around them; their main talent is the ability to turn enemies into friends.
It is important to know that Selena in the Twelfth House inspires a secluded way of life in nature. This very style of living will help the native develop extrasensory abilities, extraordinary intuition, telepathy, and the gift of healing.

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 Aquarius
Here sensuality is highly anarchic and excludes all conventions. With this Lilith, new and more progressive ideas about relations between the sexes or about sex education are born and spread. The person is categorically required to renounce sacrilege, as well as the corruption or seduction of friends and like-minded people, guardians, or other well-wishers. It is considered together with the positions of the Sun, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, retrograde Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and the Eleventh House of the horoscope.

Lilith in the 1st House
Lilith in the First House makes the person pay for their deeds in a past life by placing them under the power of the person or people whom they mocked in a previous incarnation, whom they tempted or seduced, and whom they forced into cohabitation or even into crime. In a past life, they were immersed in disputes, quarrels, and conflicts; they were the instigator of putsches, mutinies, riots, uprisings, revolutions, wars, and palace coups, which also led to upheavals in their own life. They were driven toward various acts of violence by an unconscious heightened sexual potential, of which they were a slave. The psychic power of people with Lilith in the First House is incredibly great; they easily manipulate both individuals and the masses.
Now they must sublimate their sexual potential either into spiritual strength or into creative energy, directing it into science, art, or good deeds — helping the sick, the suffering, the weak, and the offended. Or they may devote all their strength and knowledge to their marriage or business partner, to whom they should bring physical relief, emotional calm, or moral satisfaction. In this way, they can soften their Karma and leave behind a spiritual legacy. The configuration with other planets will show by what means and along what path this can be done.

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 Leo
The Part of Fortune in Leo requires from those under its influence such qualities as nobility, generosity, ambition, decisiveness, self-confidence, courage, loyalty to loved ones and friends, devotion to like-minded people, honesty, decency, conscientiousness, goodwill, strong will, diligence, and work capacity. They should give up excessive openness and generosity so that this does not attract people who wish to profit at someone else’s expense, especially those who try to force their way into friendship. Good income is connected with the father, superiors, or high-ranking people. Pedagogical, lecturing, or sports activity may be successful. Success may come through authoritative speeches with a strong artistic flavor and convincing self-expression, as well as through scientific research, public service, political activity, or diplomatic service. The world of art promises great success: cinema, theater, literature, poetry, music, variety performance, the circus, and various mass and cultural events. Guardianship, sponsorship, and patronage may also be successful. Here, the Part of Fortune can contribute to luck in gambling and the lottery. Success is also promised by medicine and crafts in which the individual reaches the highest level of art, especially jewelry making and the profession of glassblower.
If afflicted, success is hindered by increased conceit, vanity, arrogance, audacity, haughtiness, an excessive desire for power, aggression, cruelty, ruthlessness, and a tendency toward despotism and tyranny. Infidelity, betrayal, and treachery are possible. Self-admiration, overestimating oneself, arrogance, pomposity, and a strong attraction to luxury and outward splendor are often present. The person should give up casual acquaintances in order to avoid disappointments and losses, and should also avoid casual, fleeting love affairs.
Historical figures with the Part of Fortune in Leo: Oliver Cromwell, Victor Hugo, Pierre Curie, Sigmund Freud, Arnold Schoenberg, Lenin, Lyndon Johnson.

Part of Fortune in the Seventh House
The Part of Fortune in the Seventh House only confirms that the main role in the individual’s life will be played by a marriage partner or business partner. They will bring joy and happiness and will be the main sources of income. Cooperation, coauthorship, and any unions will be possible thanks to them. With the help of partners, the person will be able to rise to a higher social level and strengthen their position in society.
This position of the Part of Fortune indicates a successful marriage and a happy family life. Income may also come from social status, useful connections, or a suitable profession. Court cases, for the most part, end in the individual’s favor.

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 |
|---|---|
| x Aquarius | 168 |
| h Virgo | 134 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (12 Signs) | 767 |
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 |
|---|---|
| P Pluto | 66 |
| T Mars | 55 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Planets) | 506 |
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 | 204 |
| Seventh House | 140 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Houses) | 767 |
