A legendary American actor and two-time Oscar winner, Hackman had a difficult childhood: his father left the family when he was 13, and his mother died shortly afterward. At 16, Hackman dropped out of school, faked his age, and joined the Marine Corps. After serving, he studied journalism for a while, but ultimately decided to become an actor and went to New York City, where he took any job he could to support himself. During this period, he met and befriended fellow aspiring actors Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duvall, with whom he shared apartments. It is believed that he and Hoffman were considered the “least promising” actors at drama school, but this only strengthened Hackman’s resolve.
His breakthrough in film came in his thirties—after his role in “Bonnie and Clyde” (1967), he received his first Oscar nomination. True fame and his first Oscar came for his role as a brutal police officer in the thriller “The French Connection” (1971), and his second for his portrayal of a sheriff in Clint Eastwood‘s western “Unforgiven” (1992). Throughout his career, he starred in nearly a hundred films, including “The Conversation”, “Mississippi Burning”, “Crimson Tide”, “Behind Enemy Lines”, and “The Royal Tenenbaums”. In 2004, Hackman retired from acting, devoting himself to writing and painting. In February 2025, he and his wife were found dead in their Santa Fe home; the cause of death was listed as heart disease complicated by Alzheimer’s disease. Link to biography.

Gene Hackman - 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: 41.00
Harmony: 23.73
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 Aquarius x 10°
A representative of Aquarius can surprise acquaintances like no one else with their extravagance and wild antics. This person is freedom-loving and curious, which prevents them from staying in one place for long. The description of Aquarius shows that they can be almost obsessively friendly, yet they do not always have enough tact, which becomes an obstacle in communication with others. An Aquarius Sun always strives for new adventures without focusing on any one thing. Of all the signs, Aquarius can be described as the most unpredictable.

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: 27.71
Harmony: -7.85
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 27° - 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: 81.33
Harmony: 1.08
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 09° - 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...
Midheaven Aspects:
MOON
Strength: 24.62
Harmony: -1.42
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 Aquarius x 19°
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 native’s emotions are usually guided by reason, and they can be very detached when it comes to dealing with feelings. Others may think they are cold and distant, not understanding the ways in which they cope with their emotions.
Read more...
W Moon in the 12th House
TWELFTH HOUSE (House of secrets, sorrow, and self-sacrifice). MOON (planet of emotions and instincts) in the Twelfth House: in relationships with people, the native shows sensitivity, receptivity, and intuition. Easily hurt, they hide their true feelings. They often need to withdraw in order to rest, think, and meditate. Strength: creative imagination. Weaknesses: frequent worries; they may experience disappointment connected with the mother or family.
Read more...
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: 43.47
Harmony: -15.55
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 22°
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 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: 43.95
Harmony: 28.62
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 08°
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 12th House
TWELFTH HOUSE (House of secrets, sorrow, and self-sacrifice). VENUS (planet of love and pleasure) in the Twelfth House: emotional and sensitive, the native is capable of giving true, selfless love. They are quite comfortable being somewhat removed from society. A secret romance is possible. Strengths: artistic and creative aspirations. Weakness: the risk of an unhappy marriage or sexual relationship.
Read more...
Venus Aspects:
MARS
Strength: 56.04
Harmony: -14.97
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 24°
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 11th House
ELEVENTH HOUSE (House of hopes, wishes, and friends). MARS (planet of energy and self-assertion) in the Eleventh House: the native is active in friendships and often becomes a leader. Their connections with others are based on mutual help and support. They have clear goals and pursue them energetically. Strengths: willingness to help people and take responsibility. Weakness: conflict-proneness.
Read more...
Mars Aspects:
JUPITER
Strength: 43.30
Harmony: 8.33
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 06°
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 3rd House
THIRD HOUSE (House of communication). JUPITER (planet of luck and expansiveness) in the Third House: the native is an optimist with many varied intellectual interests. Their mind is not satisfied with limited knowledge; they strive to broaden their horizons. Travel brings them pleasure and profit. Strengths: curiosity and readiness for new experiences, ability to share ideas and maintain good relationships with relatives. Weaknesses: restlessness, impracticality, recklessness.
Read more...
Jupiter Aspects:
SATURN
Strength: 45.88
Harmony: -14.20
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 Capricorn z 07°
Saturn in Capricorn in the natal chart gives people ambition and the capacity for self-control and organization. They are disciplined, patient, and hardworking, and they receive well-deserved rewards for their efforts.
Read more...
U Saturn in the 11th House
ELEVENTH HOUSE (House of hopes, wishes, and friends). SATURN (planet of discipline and limitations) in the Eleventh House: the native prefers to have a few reliable friends rather than many superficial acquaintances. They have high aspirations, but they must contend with earthly obstacles and interference. The self-discipline they developed early in life will later bring them freedom. Strength: determination. Weakness: they often fall victim to dishonest and selfish people.
Read more...
Saturn Aspects:
URANUS
Strength: 49.91
Harmony: 18.60
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: 40.72
Harmony: -16.64
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: 49.88
Harmony: -22.49
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 5th House
FIFTH HOUSE (House of creation and sex). PLUTO (planet of transformation) in the Fifth House: the native is impulsive and passionate, following the lead of their desires. They exaggerate the importance of their romances and eventually become wildly infatuated. They have obvious artistic inclinations. Strength: a sense of responsibility toward loved ones. Weakness: they nurture hatred in their soul toward a former lover.
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 - x 27°
Strength: 112.06
Harmony: 10.81
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 - a 10°
Strength: 28.02
Harmony: -7.48
2nd House in Aries - Ruler of Mars and Pluto
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.
Ancient astrologers considered the placement of the Second House in Aries unfavorable, but today it is interpreted differently, since attitudes toward money and ways of earning it have changed. The Second sector is responsible for talents that make it possible to attract money, methods of financial enrichment, and material resources. This is the energy of possession, giving the native the right to wealth. If it is blocked, the native feels as though they are banging their head against a wall.
The senior ruler Mars and the junior ruler Pluto rule Aries, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the Second House.
Read more...
3rd HOUSE - s 14°
Strength: 65.27
Harmony: 22.64
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 09°
Strength: 21.73
Harmony: -7.78
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 - f 02°
Strength: 62.19
Harmony: -23.20
5th House in Cancer - Ruler of Moon
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 Fifth House in Cancer creates a loving and selfless parent, but unfortunately, dreams of an ideal family often remain only in the imagination, because the native’s standards are so high and they tend to see partners as heroes from films and books.
The Moon rules Cancer, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Fifth House.
Read more...
6th HOUSE - f 26°
Strength: 12.31
Harmony: -0.71
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.
Read more...
7th HOUSE - g 27°
Strength: 72.09
Harmony: -8.66
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.
Read more...
8th HOUSE - j 10°
Strength: 21.97
Harmony: 14.31
8th House in Libra - Ruler of Venus
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.
Libra seeks harmony and partnership, so serious trials should not be expected unless Venus, as the ruler, is afflicted. Diplomatic abilities help the native find a way out of crises, gaining popularity and wealth, but problems with the marriage partner will be difficult to avoid.
Venus rules Libra, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Eighth House.

9th HOUSE - k 14°
Strength: 26.48
Harmony: -9.36
9th House in Scorpio - Ruler of Pluto and Mars
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 Capricorn - Ruler of Saturn and Uranus
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.
The Eleventh House in Capricorn indicates that for the person, friendship is not an empty word, but a core value on which they build relationships. This is strengthened by the Fifth House in Cancer, where deep sympathy immediately awakens kindred feelings.
The senior ruler Saturn and the junior ruler Uranus rule Capricorn, 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 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 Eleventh House
Here, the individual experiences more mental freedom than practical application of their thoughts. As they pass through the retrograde phases, they may be an inspirer of ideas for others during Phase I, or, at the other extreme, a dreamer during Phase III, reflecting on what they could have done but did not do. The Uranian need for excitement and the mental need for stimulation make Phase II the most uncomfortable one for the individual. As a result, the combination of Phases I and III causes the individual to experience great impracticality in their thinking. They find it difficult to establish meaning and significance. Yet they feel it is necessary to keep moving. The individual is searching for an unattainable, elusive rainbow that they believe truly exists. As a result, they may well be someone who lets go of the bird in hand in order to chase one in the sky.
They are a loner, yet they need people, if only to add color to their ideas. At the same time, their particular trait is to remain mentally detached. The individual may be cold and impartial, avoiding close contact in personal relationships. They dislike rigid methods of thinking in other people. For them, freedom of mind is more important than the final result of its application. They need space in order to think; they feel uncomfortable in a crowd.
In some cases, they may be sexually unresponsive, since they do not feel completely comfortable in intimate situations. They may acknowledge marriage, children, and traditions only in words, but their main strength lies in spreading ideas for others. It is easier for them to solve problems in society than to deal with things closer to their own life. Resenting the delay of social reforms, they may ignore personal reform within themselves. Thus, they experience distortions in the priorities of their relationship to society, family, and themselves. It is difficult to establish contact with them, since they may rebel against anything that binds them. However, in many ways, they are a universal seeker, focusing much of their mental energy on understanding the progress of humanity. They are intrigued by the process of evolution and by humanity more as a theory than as a fact. They do not like to confront the central essence of life, and they are almost happy to observe it as an outside witness. This apparently directs the entire horoscope toward the lifestyle of an individual who has great difficulty aiming their life in reasonable directions through balanced means.
Karmically, they are engaged in studying levels of consciousness, without necessarily binding themselves to any specific level. They compare past ideas with the reality of the present and future dreams in order to one day understand what it is they are searching for. Not knowing the questions, they are unlikely to understand the answers; nevertheless, they are a seeker of a high order, and they would do well to turn to the methods of Taoism or Zen, where some of their unconventional ideas may actually find a refuge of truth on a universal level.
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 Third House
This is the most difficult placement for retrograde Jupiter, because the native’s past-life ideas about the universe, to which they have become accustomed, now affect their everyday relationships. They are caught between trying to live by the ideals they developed in the past and the urge to sacrifice what they know in order to become closer to the people around them. At times, they can be overly blunt, because tact, which they may perceive as insincerity, is foreign to their nature. They may be harsh with people who try to cover many subjects in a short period of time, yet they themselves can be excessively talkative. Spending most of their time in Phase One of the retrograde process, they do not always sense the people they are speaking with. They are more inclined to give advice than to listen to others, and although many people pass through their life, they do not become attached to anyone. They are so restless that they scatter their mental energy, while silently judging other people when they do the same.
The native travels a great deal, and if they do not move around physically, they do so mentally. The greatest difficulty with this Jupiter placement is learning to live in the human world, which is full of dualities and hypocrisy. Therefore, they must be careful not to take a judgmental position toward others.
A developed native is able to say a great deal in just a few words, while those who are experiencing a more basic karma may speak like a broken record. Both types are trying to clearly convey a message to people who stand on a lower level of understanding.
In past incarnations, retrograde Jupiter developed through the use of the higher mind. Now the native experiences disappointment when they try to express their understanding in simplified language that their lower mind can comprehend.
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 Virgo
With this placement, Neptune is astrologically in fall. It is unable to experience the full freedom it enjoys; the processes of imagination begin to focus on a world that is too small to allow complete expression. The native sees the whole by examining all its individual parts. This makes it easier to crystallize their impressions, but leads them through many detailed steps that a more cosmically placed Neptune would not require. However, they can combine boundless imagination with the practicality of the real world and can understand the relationships between what belongs to the realm of the five senses and what lies beyond it. The generation with Neptune in Virgo shows clairvoyant abilities.
On a purely personal level, the retrograde nature of the planet throws the native back and forth. They fluctuate between Phases One and Three. First they perceive the future, and then, when they live it, they realize that they will spend much time later reflecting on their past. For this reason, the Phase Two experience is crucial with this placement, because the person touches both their future and their past while living in the world of outer experience. In fact, it is their outer experience that causes their past and future to merge within their inner reality. As long as they do not confuse their microcosmic view of the universe with what they understand macrocosmically, they can literally walk in two worlds at the same time. Karmically, they see and understand that there is more to their world than what is immediately obvious. At the same time, they understand that they must come to a practical and realistic agreement with the reality of their presence in everyday life. It is good if they can synchronize their intuition with what is practical and realistic, filtering out everything unimportant in the process.
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 Fifth House
Here the native spends a great deal of time in Phase One of the retrograde process. They try to express themselves outwardly in order to prove to themselves that the world will one day accept them. They may be assertive and dynamic. They have a strong sexual nature. Their general outlook on life, together with their assertiveness, can be commanding. Being too subjective in their view of life, they must learn to become more aware of other people’s feelings, otherwise their perception will be distorted, because the world is actually more objective than they would like to believe.
With this Pluto placement, the person sometimes has a child who is difficult to raise or with whom it is difficult to establish good contact. Usually, the child refuses to be raised according to a pattern, and in some cases tries to teach the parent. The love nature of retrograde Pluto in the Fifth House creates great inner disorder, because the native is constantly exploring the different roles in which they see themselves. They may resent themselves on very deep levels and sincerely try to find reasons for accepting and approving of themselves and the society in which they live. This often takes the form of an active campaign for some kind of personal expression that society as a whole does not readily approve of. In this way, they want to prove that they are worthy of their existence. They will achieve happiness when they stop trying to overturn the world and recognize themselves simply as one part of it.
Their karma is almost always connected with the misuse of the creative process in a past life. Often this occurred through sexually rooted thought projection. Now the native must learn to give the people around them free psychic space, and then they will find themselves with an abundance of new energy that must be directed into new areas of creation and achievement.
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 Taurus, South Node in Scorpio
The karmic task of a person with the North Node in Taurus lies in developing and refining their talents and abilities. It will be good if the native chooses an activity connected with art. This may be painting, architecture, literature, poetry, singing, and so on. The creative nature of the work will allow the native to develop and grow. Creativity may also have an applied character. The native may be interested in gardening, animal husbandry, love the land, and build homes.
Conversely, if the person follows the path of the South Node, meaning they do what is familiar to them, life will become meaningless, and most karmic knots will remain unresolved during this lifetime. People with the South Node in Scorpio should not get carried away with intrigues, behind-the-scenes games, or seek only personal gain when interacting with partners. They are advised to develop solidity, diligence, honesty, practicality, the ability to rejoice in the beauty around them, and the ability to create harmonious forms with their own hands.

North Node in the Second House - South Node in the Eighth House
With this placement of the Nodes, the person needs to be attentive when it comes to money, personal property, and financial investments. Mistakes made in life will affect the native’s material situation. And conversely, the more good deeds the person does, the more prosperous their life will be.
A person with the South Node in the Eighth House should not rely on the resources of partners and others. They need to develop their talents and abilities, build their skills, and work hard. This will allow them to gain material independence and avoid the temptation of money.

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 Sagittarius
Selena, when positioned in Sagittarius, directs her ward onto the path of a teacher and spiritual mentor, awakening the memory of past heroic deeds. Most likely, they were a priest, a temple servant or educator, a traveler wishing to expand ideas about the Universe, or a world-renowned scholar. The native most likely brought happiness to many people by teaching them communion with the divine principle, giving them skills useful for their work and uplifting for the soul, and suffering for good deeds far from their native land. In return, fate now provides them with protection during travel abroad and supports noble educational and business projects with foreign partners.
Every seven years, a new cycle of Selena launches a fireworks display of rewards for accumulated merits, and if these merits grow along the line of Sagittarius’s highest positive qualities, then the well-being and prosperity of the bearer of the White Moon in Sagittarius will grow stronger.

Selena in the 9th House
Selena in the Ninth House gives the wings of travel. On a subconscious level, the person knows that happiness, success, and prosperity await them in other countries. Most likely, in the past they were a missionary or pilgrim who healed souls by filling them with new knowledge, since now they are drawn to other religions and cultures, and creativity is also more easily expressed in a foreign language, especially in a harmonious tandem with Mercury and Jupiter.
The native’s mind is bright, and their views are liberal. This is a sage who recognizes the right of all religions and philosophical concepts to exist and is hungry for knowledge. They are a priori appealing to representatives of the upper social class, wealthy sponsors, and patrons of the arts, and therefore can easily create their own schools with a progressive and creative approach to education, publish books, and create television programs that break centuries-old stereotypes in views on history and psychology.

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 Capricorn
With this position of Lilith, sensuality is suppressed in youth and experienced in later years. A certain role may be played by upbringing in childhood and self-discipline in more mature age, but above all by victory over inner contradictions and the struggle between desire and self-restraint. Here the person must give up all forms of tyranny and despotism, the cold-blooded and calculated destruction of enemies, opponents, and competitors, and the sacrifice of innocent people. It is considered together with the positions of Saturn, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and the Tenth House of the horoscope.

Lilith in the 12th House
In a previous life, the person enchanted and seduced everyone with their charms, tempted them, suppressed their will, used occult knowledge, and drew upon the forces of black magic. Those who did not yield to them or submit to their will were driven to a psychiatric hospital or to prison. This Karma is one of the heaviest, and the Twelfth House is the worst place for Lilith, because it is here that her fatality works at full power. Lilith, being the Demon’s closest assistant in sexual matters, participates in all bargains involving the sale of a human soul to Satan. If the person manages to avoid this bargain, the swamp of alcoholism, drug addiction, and other “pleasures” of the lower depths of life lies in wait for them. There is, of course, a possibility of avoiding this, but only through complete self-restraint, self-renunciation, and self-sacrifice. A fatal connection is indicated with a person whose planet forms a conjunction or some strong aspect with the native’s Lilith.

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 Pisces
To achieve success, such qualities are necessary as receptivity, sensitivity, intuition, peacefulness, understanding of other people’s feelings, compassion, mercy, kindness, and goodwill. Success is supported by a creative spirit, artistic talent, phenomenal or extrasensory abilities, psychic strength, hypnotic abilities, the gift of suggestion and persuasion, rich fantasy, and vivid imagination. In some cases, self-denial and self-sacrifice may be required.
Medicine, including folk medicine, homeopathy, pharmacology, chemistry, and occult sciences may be successful. Literature, poetry, dramaturgy, music, the theater and opera stage, and variety performance may also bring success. Abilities for divination, foresight, and prediction may be used. Here, help from friends and powerful patrons can be expected.
If afflicted, success may be hindered by laziness, apathy, passivity, inconsistency, unreliability, and an excessive attraction to comfort and pleasure. Obstacles of unclear origin are possible.
Historical figures with the Part of Fortune in Pisces: Napoleon I, Emanuel Swedenborg, Robert Schumann, Wernher von Braun, Alexander Zaraev.

Part of Fortune in the First House
The Part of Fortune in the First House is one of the best placements, but only on the condition that the individual acts actively and solely for noble purposes. Here, the Part of Fortune enhances self-respect, pride in oneself and one’s achievements, and grants nobility and generosity. It gives elevated goals, optimism, enthusiasm, and healthy ambition, which helps the person achieve good results. The Part of Fortune helps them adapt to the right people, things, and circumstances, and strengthens honesty, decency, diligence, and capacity for work. It can give a sense of compassion, especially when the Part of Fortune is close to the Ascendant from the side of the Twelfth House. In all matters, the individual is helped by self-confidence, confidence in their own abilities, decisiveness, and strong drive.
Here, the Part of Fortune supports the unfolding and development of the personality, helps the person move through life, and guides them along the path that is most favorable for them. The Part of Fortune also contributes to the growth of opportunities, including material ones, provided that the individual acts independently and not at the expense of other people.
Income depends on the person’s own desires, strength of character, physical abilities, and even appearance, and, naturally, on the effort, diligence, perseverance, and resourcefulness they invest; however, accidental good fortune is also possible, for example, winning the lottery. Successful fields of activity include scientific research, applied and occult sciences, heavy industry, machine-building and arms factories, and work connected with fire and iron. Much, of course, depends on the position of the Part of Fortune in the Zodiac signs and its configuration with the planets and elements of the horoscope.

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 | 191 |
| x Aquarius | 161 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (12 Signs) | 825 |
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 | 56 |
| I Uranus | 49 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Planets) | 547 |
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 |
|---|---|
| Eleventh House | 168 |
| Twelfth House | 132 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Houses) | 825 |
