James Franco - 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: 28.51
Harmony: 2.59
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 Aries a 29°
An Aries Sun has an unbending character. They are always sure they are right and do not try to analyze what is happening around them in any real depth. These fiery qualities often work against Aries, since they tend to focus their efforts on things that do not truly deserve attention, while real opportunities pass them by. Thanks to their natural optimism, Aries gets through difficult times fairly easily. The only thing that can throw them off balance is criticism from people close to them. Encouragement and admiration are what this sign needs in order to feel inner balance.

Q Sun in the 6th House
SIXTH HOUSE (House of service and health). SUN (planet of vital energy and individuality) in the Sixth House: the native takes pride in their work and has organizational talent. They need recognition from others. Their health is likely to be fairly good, and they recover their strength quickly, although they may be prone to rare but troublesome illnesses. Strength: they solve problems effectively. Weakness: they can be fussy and difficult to work with.

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: 51.92
Harmony: -20.12
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 Scorpio k 03° - Ruler Pluto and Mars
Pluto, the senior ruler of Scorpio, governs transformation, sexual instincts, and the destruction of the old. It gives typical representatives of the sign endurance, mystery, and heightened sexuality. In its negative form, these influences become jealousy, lack of restraint, and a desire to destroy everything, even to one’s own detriment. People of the sign Scorpio may see everything negative in others and are capable of striking at the most painful spot.
People born with Scorpio Rising are usually secretive, deep, reserved, mysterious, restrained, courageous, strong-willed, persistent, stubborn, creative, self-sufficient, independent, and quiet. This is a powerful rising sign. It represents a battlefield where the person’s higher and lower selves must fight. They must be brought into alignment, and in the end, the lower self must submit and obey the higher self — the God within. Every level without exception will be involved in this struggle: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Outwardly calm, they may be highly emotional inside. As the saying goes, still waters run deep.
They tend to be quiet and always want to know other people’s motives, while never revealing their own. They truly enjoy playing detective, because they need to know everything: how, when, and why. They have enough determination and strength to overcome any opponent, even themselves. But the first things they must overcome are resentment, jealousy, and possessiveness. They may be interested in occult abilities, death, and healing. They can be a devil or an angel, an eagle or a stinging scorpion.
The main lesson to learn: learn to forgive.
Pluto and Mars rule Scorpio, so both Mars and Pluto will play an important role in the natal chart. Read more...
Ascendant Aspects:
MIDHEAVEN (MC)
Strength: 47.27
Harmony: -4.97
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 Leo g 09° - Ruler Sun
Ruler: the Sun. There is a desire to reach the highest rung of the social ladder, hold power over the surrounding world, and become known. A person with the MC in Leo simply needs to be at the center of attention, so they establish connections and contacts with high-ranking people and seek the protection of influential figures. Their plans and affairs are large-scale and grand, strongly egocentric in nature, and placed at the very center of life; everything else can wait. Their achievements must be recognized by society, they personally must receive all the titles and awards due to them, and their name must be written in golden letters in the chronicles of history. With a strong cosmic status of the Sun and favorable configurations, this is entirely achievable; without these indicators, it remains only a dream.
In any case, with this Midheaven placement the person’s ambitions are usually great and often inflated, but even under less favorable indications they still receive some form of compensation. The striving for the heights of fame is usually based not only on a desire for glory and prestige, but also on the wish for a secure life in which the soul has everything it wants. A scandalous love affair may often stand in the way of the goal, although under favorable indications the same love affair may greatly shorten the path to the top. Read more...
Midheaven Aspects:
MOON
Strength: 36.37
Harmony: -1.77
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 Virgo h 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.
People born with the Moon in Virgo are very sensitive and cautious, and perhaps too shy to show their feelings to others. Although they are capable of giving love and care, they rarely express their feelings openly and freely. Outwardly, at least, they rely more on reason than on emotion.
Read more...
W Moon in the 11th House
ELEVENTH HOUSE (House of hopes, wishes, and friends). MOON (planet of emotions and instincts) in the Eleventh House: the native’s social charm attracts admirers. At some point in life, they may change their goals and their circle of friends. They enjoy entertaining guests. Strength: intuition helps them get along with people. Weaknesses: their friends may prove unreliable; they may face a scandal they did not cause.
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: 30.36
Harmony: 0.35
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 Aries a 15°
People with Mercury in Aries are frank and direct in both words and actions. Their thoughts are original, enthusiastic, and full of energy.
Read more...
E Mercury in the 6th House
SIXTH HOUSE (House of service and health). MERCURY (planet of the mind) in the Sixth House: the native strives for perfection and may feel overwhelmed by the avalanche of everyday tasks. They are interested in health, diet, and hygiene and are usually well informed about the latest developments in these areas. They are prone to nervousness and may suffer from stomach or respiratory problems. Strength: they are practical and efficient, especially in work connected with writing and communication. Weakness: excessive worry about health and work.
Read more...
Mercury Aspects:
VENUS
Strength: 45.33
Harmony: 2.74
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 Taurus s 21°
People born with Venus in Taurus are loyal and constant in matters of love, especially when their partner shows openness and affection.
Read more...
R Venus in the 7th House
SEVENTH HOUSE - House of marriage and partnership. VENUS (planet of love and pleasure) in the Seventh House: the native seeks harmony and fulfillment in marriage and partnership. They are affectionate, romantic, and attractive to the opposite sex. At some point in life, they are likely to gain high social status or wealth through a spouse or partner. They usually marry early and more than once. Strength: they are a born peacemaker. Weakness: they become resentful if others do not make the first move toward them.
Read more...
Venus Aspects:
MARS
Strength: 43.49
Harmony: -22.02
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 Leo g 03°
People with Mars in Leo in the natal chart take pride in themselves and probably have a strong ego. They want to stand out, distinguish themselves favorably, and be recognized for who they are.
Read more...
T Mars in the 9th House
NINTH HOUSE (House of exploration and education). MARS (planet of energy and self-assertion) in the Ninth House: the native is intellectually independent, unafraid of change, and fond of travel and adventure. They are ready to fight for their beliefs. They seek new experiences because they want to live life fully. Strength: they may achieve honors or wealth through higher education. Weakness: they can be stubborn and fanatical about their ideas.
Read more...
Mars Aspects:
JUPITER
Strength: 25.83
Harmony: 18.70
In the astrological theater, Jupiter plays the role of the “Great Benefic.” Since antiquity, it has been associated with luck and material blessings. Yet the largest planet in the solar system has other purposes as well. It is responsible for spiritual and intellectual development and encourages a person to search for the meaning of life. From a psychological point of view, Jupiter embodies the generous, fair father. Its main enemies are stagnation and boredom. The giant rules the Ninth and Twelfth Houses.
The remarkable qualities of a strong Jupiterian person are often not their own achievement, but the result of fantastic luck. A winning lottery ticket or an unexpected inheritance are typical gifts from generous Jupiter. More...
Y Jupiter in Cancer f 01°
A person born with Jupiter in Cancer is loving, peaceful, friendly, sociable, responsive, and perhaps quite patriotic.
Read more...
Y Jupiter in the 8th House
EIGHTH HOUSE (House of life and death, rebirth, and inheritance). JUPITER (planet of luck and expansiveness) in the Eighth House: the native has a healthy, optimistic attitude toward life and death, along with abundant sexual energy. They are likely to improve their financial position through inheritance or marriage. Jupiter in this House promises an easy and peaceful death. Strength: their philosophy of life inspires others. Weakness: they may squander other people’s money.
Read more...
Jupiter Aspects:
SATURN
Strength: 35.78
Harmony: -3.46
Traditionally, the “Lord of Time” is associated with the darkest sides of life: old age and death, decline and deprivation. Yet Saturn is also a great sage, mentor, and lawgiver. It embodies a person’s conscience. Saturn creates prohibitions, but without them, chaos and anarchy would reign in life. Saturn promotes maturity and teaches a person to plan their life. It rules the Tenth astrological House and is responsible for career, social status, and reputation.
A strong, beneficial Saturn gives a person healthy ambition, the ability to creatively rework experience accumulated over centuries and make valuable discoveries based on it, as well as strong health, longevity, and a secure old age. More...
U Saturn in Leo g 23°
People born with Saturn in Leo in the natal chart are endowed with the skills of a diplomat, organizer, manager, and leader, all combined with strong willpower.
Read more...
U Saturn in the 10th House
TENTH HOUSE (House of career). SATURN (planet of discipline and limitations) in the Tenth House: the native is independent and ambitious and can achieve success. With endurance and persistence, they move toward their goal step by step. By the end of life, they may reach a high position, though they may also face loneliness. Strength: self-discipline and a sense of responsibility. Weaknesses: selfishness; they may lose the trust and respect of others.
Read more...
Saturn Aspects:
URANUS
Strength: 37.36
Harmony: -9.66
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: 46.03
Harmony: -3.01
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 2nd House
SECOND HOUSE (House of property). NEPTUNE (planet of spirituality and illusions) in the Second House: the native is endowed with intuition and imagination that help them earn money. A more rational person would say that they do not manage their financial affairs in the best way. When acquiring things, they are more interested in their aesthetic value to them than in their material value. Strengths: generosity toward those in need, ability to earn income from creative work, absence of excessive materialism. Weaknesses: careless or indifferent attitude toward money, excessive gullibility, laziness.
Read more...
Neptune Aspects:
PLUTO
Strength: 26.63
Harmony: 1.11
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 12th House
TWELFTH HOUSE (House of secrets, sorrow, and self-sacrifice). PLUTO (planet of transformation) in the Twelfth House: the native is interested in philosophical questions. They may enter into a secret sexual relationship. They are a private person and find it difficult to share their feelings. Strength: depth of imagination. Weakness: they tend to hide anger or resentment.
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 7th House
Above all, Chiron’s gifts are duality and adaptability in the areas of life indicated by the main principles of that House of the horoscope. This person can skillfully, artfully, and deftly combine opposites. Their cunning, craftiness, and ability to find a way out of any situation are boundless.
Chiron in the Seventh House directs its wards toward public or diplomatic activity, law, or the world of art. People with this Chiron placement often become public figures and gravitate toward an active social life. They crave communication, so their life is often open to everyone — friends, loved ones, and admirers alike. They long for applause, flowers, admiration, adoration, public recognition, and social approval. They are drawn to brilliance and luxury. Women with this placement may have an entire retinue of admirers, ranging from boys barely old enough to shave to frail but wealthy old men. Men may have a whole harem, like a maharaja or a Turkish sultan. The same pattern appears in love and marriage: bigamy or several relationships at the same time is often seen here. The main weapon of both sexes is vivid and persuasive self-expression, brilliant artistry, the ability to suggest and persuade, and the talent for pretending, parodying, simulating, portraying, and transforming themselves. This is a true Figaro and a believable chameleon. All these qualities become the foundation for self-assertion on stage, in life, and in society. These people try to avoid sharp edges and not inflame the situation; on the contrary, they smooth relations between those in conflict. They compromise easily and always look for paths toward reconciliation, usually with great success.

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 - k 03°
Strength: 106.81
Harmony: -35.01
1st House in Scorpio - Ruler of Pluto and Mars
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 Scorpio makes the native examine their inner world through a magnifying glass in search of the key to success, which often leads to professional involvement in psychology and astrology. This person is a detective by nature, also attuned to uncovering other people’s secrets, because by understanding the patterns behind their actions, they can also answer the questions that trouble them.
Pluto and Mars rule Scorpio, so both Mars and Pluto will play an important role when analyzing the First House (Ascendant).
Read more...
2nd HOUSE - l 02°
Strength: 58.94
Harmony: 6.34
2nd House in Sagittarius - Ruler of Jupiter and Neptune
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.
The ruler of Sagittarius is Jupiter, the planet of great happiness and financial prosperity. It is no coincidence that, when the chart is harmonious, such a person is well-rounded and gladly applies their many talents to obtain material benefits. The Second House is not only about opportunities and ways of earning money, but also a source of vital energy that carries the native to a certain social and financial level.
The senior ruler Jupiter and the junior ruler Neptune rule Sagittarius, so their influence should be taken into account when analyzing the Second House.
Read more...
3rd HOUSE - z 04°
Strength: 17.89
Harmony: -1.73
3rd House in Capricorn - Ruler of Saturn and Uranus
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.
In Capricorn, everything listed above is connected with obstacles and limitations. Saturn, the ruler of the sign, is a wise teacher and strict mentor. If the native passes its lessons with dignity, they can receive a magnificent reward: an education that helps them become a high-status, wealthy leader, and experience that cannot be bought with money.
The senior ruler Saturn and the junior ruler Uranus rule Capricorn, so their influence should be taken into account when analyzing the Third House.
Read more...
4th HOUSE - x 09°
Strength: 18.29
Harmony: -3.28
4th House in Aquarius - Ruler of Uranus and Saturn
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 home environment in the life of a person with the Fourth House in Aquarius is always unusual and unpredictable, even for the native themselves. The doors are open to friends and barely familiar guests, while the chaos and creative disorder that reign here feel familiar and dear to the hosts. At a high level of development, they live in a penthouse or high-tech apartment; at a lower level, in a communal apartment or dormitory.
The senior ruler Uranus and the junior ruler Saturn rule Aquarius, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the Fourth House.
Read more...
5th HOUSE - c 12°
Strength: 17.96
Harmony: 3.92
5th House in Pisces - Ruler of Neptune and Jupiter
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 Pisces makes a person especially sensitive to mysticism, occultism, and intuitive insights. Ordinary life feels distasteful to them; they long for otherworldly love, intense romantic excitement, and the feeling of being desired by many. They create many roles, living out part of their innermost dreams in each one.
The senior ruler Neptune and the junior ruler Jupiter rule Pisces, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the Fifth House.
Read more...
6th HOUSE - a 10°
Strength: 80.61
Harmony: -8.06
6th House in Aries - Ruler of Mars and Pluto
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.
A person with the Sixth House in Aries energetically throws themselves into work, but subconsciously sensing that they will not be able to sustain this pace for long, they hurry to exceed the quota all at once. It is good if they manage to finish what they started through sheer force, but more often this leads to burnout, exhaustion, and loss of interest. This is why, astrologically, they are better suited to being in charge rather than working as a subordinate.
The senior ruler Mars and the junior ruler Pluto rule Aries, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the Sixth House.

7th HOUSE - s 03°
Strength: 67.99
Harmony: 4.11
7th House in Taurus - Ruler of Venus
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.
Taurus in the Seventh House, with a harmonious Venus, promises family happiness in prosperity and comfort. Slowly and thoroughly, the native chooses a life partner and friends from social circles they find pleasant, among people with excellent character traits.
Venus rules Taurus, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Seventh House.

8th HOUSE - d 02°
Strength: 41.01
Harmony: 18.88
8th House in Gemini - 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.
People with the Eighth House in Gemini are very strong in mental activity, which helps them quickly find their bearings in modern ways of earning money, but at the same time immerses their mind in an endless verbal jumble and in the analysis of their own and others’ behavior, emotional reactions, news, and conversations.
Mercury rules Gemini, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Eighth House.

9th HOUSE - f 04°
Strength: 61.67
Harmony: -22.90
9th House in Cancer - Ruler of Moon
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.
When the Ninth House falls in the sign of Cancer, a person’s success and development are always connected with loyalty to ancestral traditions. They are interested in traveling to historical places and countries with archaeological monuments and wonders of the world. Trips to countries known for coastal tourism help people with the Ninth House in Cancer relax and begin a new stage in life.
The Moon rules Cancer, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Ninth House.

10th HOUSE - g 09°
Strength: 97.30
Harmony: -7.14
10th House in Leo - Ruler of Sun
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.
Success comes to a person with the Tenth House in Leo under two conditions: the expression of a bright individuality through self-expression and the ability to work in a team. The native sees themselves as a star, so they most often choose a profession connected with the stage or big business.
The Sun rules Leo, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Tenth House.

11th House in Virgo - Ruler of Mercury
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 Virgo attracts a practical and goal-oriented circle of people to the native. They themselves are a person of strict morals and firm principles, although at a low level of development they may be sarcastic and petty.
Mercury rules Virgo, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Eleventh House.

12th HOUSE - j 10°
Strength: 49.29
Harmony: 2.48
12th House in Libra - Ruler of Venus
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.
When it is in Libra, the main problems arise in relationships with the opposite sex. Whether this will be a conscious choice of solitude or betrayal will be shown by the placement and aspects between Venus and Neptune.
Venus rules Libra, and therefore its influence is especially important 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 Aries
Here, the individual feels most comfortable during Phase I of the retrograde process, when their thirst for understanding carries them forward through the cardinal, Martian qualities of Aries, so that they once again experience the primitive part of their mental development from previous incarnations. All thought and sensory patterns reflect their almost childlike desire to prove their mental competence.
Lacking patience, they often suffer from shortsightedness because of impulsive thinking. This throws them out of temporal alignment with most of the people they speak with. Nevertheless, this individual is a strong debater and enjoys the challenge of mental stimulation. This allows them to prove that they are worthy, even if the reasons they consider themselves inadequate do not come from this life. Constantly wanting to know whether they are good enough in the eyes of others, they rush forward to prove that they can meet the challenges of their past. In doing so, the people whose understanding they originally desired are already out of the frame.
Retrograde Mercury is least harmonious with the sign of Aries during Phase III, when the individual goes back in their consciousness in order to reexperience what has already been lived through. For this reason, the individual hates repeating themselves and actively complains about the need to live in a world that loses intellectual stimulation by constantly reviewing what has already been completed.
Retrograde Mercury in the Sixth House
Here, Mercury falls in the House it rules. The mutable qualities of the Sixth House combine with Mercury’s natural flexibility to give the individual a sharp analytical approach to organizing their life.
Although they feel a certain degree of comfort in all three retrograde phases, they still have difficulty getting along with other people, especially in work situations. During Phase I, they often try to impress their ideas upon others, whereas in Phase III, they go back in time in order to critically analyze how well those ideas were carried out. Other people’s reactions to them make them very nervous. Thinking that people expect something from them, they feel obligated to them. In order to organize their work habits, they must understand the final result and return to the initial steps that will lead them where they intend to go.
They may be overly critical of themselves and spend a great deal of time wondering whether to continue evaluating and judging their inner existence or to focus their mental energy outward in an attempt to overcome their shortcomings through service to others. However, there are periods when others reject their service. Thus, they experience disappointment in their relationships with people.
They are much better at organizing things than people. One of their greatest difficulties is that they “harness” their life to self-imposed limitations. Sometimes they accept responsibility they think they should not have accepted; at other times, they rush away from what they think they should do. They bring into their life the karma of discrimination, through which they constantly try to make all things and people fit into their preconceived order of the universe.
They are an excellent worker, especially in areas that involve following a procedure created in the past. They must become more tolerant of the human factor so that their high ideals of order and perfection do not lead them into negativity toward the people they work with and the society in which they live. One day, they must see that they judge themselves according to their ideals, and others according to their actions.
Retrograde Saturn - Individuality
A native with retrograde Saturn takes very seriously the completion of everything they left unfinished in the past. They tend to go back in order to fill any gaps in what they once too hastily considered complete. Essentially, they are thoughtful and balanced. At times, they may seem overly cautious or too frugal, but any restraint on their part is entirely based on their need to preserve substance for important use. They consider excessive spending or wastefulness harmful, because they experienced this in past lives. Now they deeply value everything they learn or receive. Often, they feel an inner duty to God, which manifests as a powerful sense of gratitude for everything they see around them.
They try to teach other people who are less knowledgeable or experienced than they are. However, this is unsuccessful if those people have not experienced the native’s “fall from grace” in a past life and the great struggle that has now earned them the way back. As a result, retrograde Saturn carries an “inborn” maturity that cannot be achieved without great personal struggle and sacrifice.
Retrograde Saturn - Karma
Retrograde Saturn always indicates ongoing karma from past incarnations. Whatever the lesson may be, the native is unusually slow in bringing it to completion. Therefore, in this life, they must carry an additional burden from a past life within their soul. When the two lives finally come together, their true mission should become clear to them. Much of what they do in this life is a repetition of what their Saturn already stands for. But now they are faced with circumstances and situations that are somewhat different. The retrograde action of the planet may make them feel a restraining force, especially if they try to escape the weight of its lesson. But if they follow it, understanding that its patient guidance is slowly leading them toward identification with something higher than they could have imagined, then through this planet they can come to appreciate the workings of a beautiful divine universe.
Saturn is the person’s teacher, and when it is retrograde, it means the native experienced similar training before this life. Over the course of life, retrograde Saturn provides a tremendous amount of wisdom.
For Saturn, the retrograde position is the most natural and comfortable one, because it gives the native something like a second chance to refine the relationship formed between their soul, the circumstances they encountered in a past incarnation, and the way those circumstances were understood. Now, under Saturn’s calm guidance, the person can give form to everything they learned in the past.
Retrograde Saturn in Leo
Here the native faces the karma of achievement. They do not feel worthy within themselves unless they can outwardly create everything they are capable of. It is important for them to feel significant both to themselves and to others. They strive to command everything they do. And the obstacles they must overcome are truly immense. Often, they will suffer for others, because they gain great satisfaction from taking on other people’s responsibilities. At the same time, they may be domineering and willful.
They bring into this life the karmic residue of power from an era in human history when might made right. And they are overly concerned with being right in the eyes of others. They want to be respected and will go to great lengths to defend positions or crusades for causes that make them appear more in command of themselves. They are a strict parent and a rather formidable opponent, because they are always more concerned with the strength of the position they support than with actually defending themselves. In order to be worthy of the expectations placed upon them in the past, they try to take on the responsibilities of the people around them.
Thus, they live life under the weight of assumed responsibility rather than through a natural existence. They must learn to fulfill their own obligations rather than take on those of others.
Retrograde Saturn in the Tenth House
Here Saturn is in its natural House. The native spends a great deal of time in Phase Three of the retrograde process, reviewing the prestige and dignity they achieved in the past, thereby defining their present opinion of themselves. Essentially, they are highly aware of status, especially within a group of equals. At times, they evaluate themselves in relation to former peer groups and to the extent to which they have now reached or surpassed them.
This is a placement of devotion for retrograde Saturn. The native feels a strong sense of responsibility and must answer to themselves for everything they do. Therefore, they are deeply concerned with seeing their life as a tangible, formative structure that has followed a more or less reasonable path from the earliest point of their memory up to the present moment. They are quite crystallized in this respect, and reason and logic may escape them if these would mean deviating from a preprogrammed sense of duty toward their self-image. This effect comes from those rare moments when they experience Phase One of the retrograde process.
The only way they can be led aside is by something that will improve their self-image in the future, provided that nothing from their past is destroyed in the process. Karmically, they are trying to establish a sense of principle that was not fully formed in past lives and that they do not truly possess in this life. It is formulated only in the areas of career, public image, and a sense of duty toward society.
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 Scorpio
Here retrograde Uranus finds an excellent home, because it never stops bringing light into the greatest depths of the native’s search for understanding. They never take anything at face value, but continue digging in order to find the roots of everything that seems unresolved. They are brilliant when it comes to investigation. They have little patience, but they do not need to spend a long time on anything, because they possess the psychic ability to instantly recognize the essence of things. On a personal level, they experience many sexual changes in life. During one period, they seek every kind of excitement they have not yet experienced, while during another period they may turn to complete celibacy. In everything they do, they take extreme positions and never settle for the middle path in life. Their energy level is high and quite intense. When they know the truth, they will not allow other people to divert them from the independent course of action they have decided to take.
This Uranus placement can be very spiritual, especially during Phase Three of the retrograde process, during which the native can reach an awareness of the universe within themselves. They do not deceive themselves or live in illusions, but rather take great pride in seeing things as they really are.
They bring into this life a remarkable ability to understand many of the things whose existence the rest of society does not even know about. Karmically, they are living this life in order to play a very active role in shaping the world in which they live. They do not sit idly by and complain about everything they see as wrong around them; rather, they are one of the leaders in transforming human consciousness.
Retrograde Uranus in the First House
This is an extremely individualistic placement for retrograde Uranus. The person shows little interest in the rules and traditions of the society in which they live. They identify with everything new and unique, and will do everything they can to rebel against anything that cages them in or makes them seem like everyone else. They strive to establish their own sense of uniqueness in order to distinguish their individuality from the many individualities they see around them. This is usually expressed in Phase One of the retrograde process, in which the native experiences a strong anticipatory fear that other people will pull them into their reality. They are constantly trying to express themselves as quickly and spontaneously as possible.
This is a very difficult placement for marriage, because the native’s nature is unpredictable as they try to break away from traditional society. Constant change continues until the person understands that their true purpose is not to devote their life to any principle or course of action that might smooth away their adventurous spirit. They apparently spent another life learning how to explore vast realms of existing possibilities that allow a person to follow their insatiable curiosity. Now they continue to do this, but in a world that is broader and offers more possibilities than they experienced before. As a seeker of the highest order, they will sacrifice many of the comforts of traditional society in order to have the freedom to discover what lies beyond the limits of their contemporaries.
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 Sagittarius
Here the native experiences an elevated awareness of the world and their place in it. They are learning to live without attaching themselves to roots. Instead, they lead a more natural existence, flowing with the current of their fortune. They are free in spirit and have very few attachments that are meaningful to them on the physical plane. Possessing an almost prophetic ability to penetrate the future, they can instantly grasp the essence of things, but they find it difficult to stabilize themselves in everyday practical matters. They will play a very important role in delivering the spiritual message of the Age of Aquarius. Their life is built on expanding the formless horizons they feel within themselves. At the same time, they never stop giving information and knowledge to other people. Through Phase One of the retrograde process, they can perceive distant possibilities as a very real probability in the “here and now.” This is a dreamer of the highest order. But their dreams belong more to the realm of foresight; they do not serve the satisfaction of personal desires.
More than any other placement, this gives a powerful cosmic sense of what is happening within the person. Burning themselves up, they become a pure expression of a Soul that has finally been set free.
Karmically, they must not be bound by anything except what they perceive as the deepest truths within themselves. They should avoid mass movements, clubs, organizations, the institution of marriage, and any other man-made structures that would prevent them from experiencing everything they feel within.
Retrograde Neptune in the Second House
Here the formless nature of Neptune presents a natural conflict with the structure of form belonging to the Second House. It is difficult for the native to crystallize their value system, and they may appear indecisive. They may be overly generous during Phase One, while feeling that they must guard against losing things during Phase Three.
From past incarnations, they have learned to value art and usually have a good understanding of music, but the retrograde nature of Neptune does not allow them to pursue this as much as they would like. If this became an influential factor in their life, they would be very happy, but the impulse to achieve this must come from something else in the horoscope.
Neptune is in a very difficult position in the Second House, because it continues to dissolve everything the native tries to acquire. Their financial security is vague. The same can be said of the values they support. Each time they try to be firm, they become more yielding. In youth, they may be especially sensitive and sometimes even gullible.
But as they grow older, much of this turns into their sincerely compassionate and gentle nature. Although they will experience many difficulties in standing up for what they believe is right, this is only part of their karma. They are living this incarnation in order to eliminate any false values within themselves that they brought from a past life.
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 Libra
Natives with this placement have a rather unique experience in consciousness. They observe the evolution and transformation of the world, but do not truly feel a desire to be a substantial part of it. On the one hand, they personally perceive the consciousness of every person around them. This makes them a curious blend of everyone they have seen and come into contact with. On the other hand, they do not relate to themselves personally. Thus, they do not stand up for what it seems they should stand up for. As a result, this placement functions as a window through which the consciousness of humanity passes.
A strong sense of responsibility for others gives many people with this configuration a silent martyr complex. They feel that their ability to balance the people around them is reflected in their personal account before God. This is one of the most difficult placements for retrograde Pluto, because the force of change destroys the quiet inertia of Libra. Here there is a drive to achieve combined with a desire not to participate.
When Pluto entered Libra, many “Guru movements” became popular. Even the spread of Transcendental Meditation is a distinctive expression of this placement. To transcend limits is the power of Pluto; to do this through meditation is the calm inactivity of Libra.
On an individual level, the retrograde action of the planet gives the native the ability to absorb human consciousness so that they can fit into the wholeness of everything they perceive. This causes them to experience Phase Three of the retrograde process most of the time.
Karmically, people born with this planetary placement have an inwardly calm and impartial desire to transform the age in which they live. Their goal is a more peaceful and harmonious state of consciousness.
Retrograde Pluto in the Twelfth House
With this placement, the native almost always experiences Phase Three of the retrograde process. They are very introspective and unusually deep in their awareness of life as it is. They feel the chains of society with their inner mind, but have the strength to free themselves from them if they choose.
They are often very secretive, because they themselves are not in full contact with the depth of their motives. Nevertheless, they see enough to understand that much of their outer life is imposed by society and makes them a hypocrite before their inner essence. They experience long periods of loneliness and discouragement. The native feels misunderstood. They often wish to see tiresome situations come to an end, and as a result, they may consciously stimulate destructive forces in the people around them. Of all the placements in the Zodiac, this native may be the most negative toward the positive efforts of others who try to help draw them out of their shell. Drug use is dangerous for this person, because it only tends to move them farther and farther away from the state of being present in the reality of the “here and now.” Karmically, they are trying to find meaning in their Soul, and through a very restless process of elimination, they will eventually discard everything that has no meaning for them, so that they can ultimately identify with their essence. Their journey leads into the unknown realms of Humanity and the Universe, and although they may experience the greatest difficulties along the way, their reward will be the discovery of their Soul.
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 Libra, South Node in Aries
A person with the South Node in Aries is accustomed to taking initiative, acting energetically, and handling everything independently. In this incarnation, the native needs to give up this style of behavior, because it can lead to stagnation and wasted energy.
They should choose the path indicated by the North Node in Libra, which means behaving diplomatically, taking other people’s opinions into account, looking for partners, and creating trusting and harmonious relationships. The meaning of life may be connected with business cooperation and marriage. In addition, Libra is a creative sign, so it is favorable for the native to develop in the field of art.

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

Lunar Node Aspects:
The Lunar Nodes Have Direct Motion
The Lunar Nodes are retrograde for most of the time, meaning they move in the direction opposite to the motion of the planets. Direct motion, however, is allotted relatively little time.
The native with direct Nodes does not have currents within them directed toward the Past; it can be assumed that they are actively oriented only toward the Future. Moreover, the absence of the natural tension created by two opposite Times allows the person to be freer in their relationship with their individual Time. This is precisely why they can allow themselves to stretch Time without becoming too actively involved in the realization of any tasks. Accordingly, this position may be considered one that frees the person from temporal dependence, and therefore from excessive dependence on rigid debt-based programs.
Accordingly, it can be assumed that direct Nodes are received by a Soul that must:
- — either fulfill an important mission, and for this purpose it is freed from everyday temporal dependence and temporal duty, so that at the necessary moment of Time it, unburdened by everyday service, will be ready to fulfill the main karmic task.
- — or simply rest a little. Accordingly, it should not be burdened with debt obligations, so that no excessive tension is created, forcing it to solve tasks unnecessary in this incarnation.
- — or form a new experience not based on past developments, which may have proved either very worthy and requiring no corrections, or completely untenable, forcing the Lords of Karma simply to abandon them so as not to become involved with excessive karmic heaviness.
- Thus, it becomes clear that direct Nodes are not a simple position, and they are given to a person for the realization of certain karmic programs.
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 Libra
The White Moon in Libra is harmonious and strong. People with this placement are elegant and benevolent, possess refined artistic taste, and love beauty and grace. In the past, they reconciled those in conflict, opposed gossipers and schemers, and most likely acted as fair judges themselves, preserving balance between the forces of Darkness and Light. Therefore, now they can calmly enjoy safe business partnerships, a happy family life, and support from law enforcement agencies. However, it must not be forgotten that Selena in Libra tests the person’s alignment with the higher qualities of the sign in which she is placed every seven years, and in the case of sinful actions, weakens protection.
A conscious choice to act as a peacemaker, while observing the earthly and cosmic laws of justice and refusing judgment and gossip, will help preserve and increase bright karma for descendants.

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 Cancer
Sensuality here may awaken at an early age, or it may emerge later in life, and it may express itself through an extremely active sex life. The rich imagination and wild erotic fantasy of these people strongly influence their sexual activity: either intensifying it or weakening it, enriching it or impoverishing it, or simply distorting it. The Oedipus complex often manifests here, so under no circumstances should the person betray their partner, children, mother, or another woman close to the home. With this position of Lilith, they should honor not only their parents, but also their homeland, the traditions of their ancestors, and their family line. It is considered together with the positions of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, and the Fourth House of the horoscope.

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

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 Gemini
The Part of Fortune in Gemini requires from those under its influence spiritual strength, intellectual abilities, mental agility, manual dexterity, honesty, conscientiousness, decency, nobility, generosity, kindness, and goodwill.
Here, a combination of intellect and intuition is required, along with quick receptivity, deep impressionability, fantasy, and vivid imagination. This Part of Fortune can strengthen curiosity, the desire to communicate with others, and point the individual toward the “path to the people.” However, in this case, the intellectual side must prevail over the emotional one. Resourcefulness, wit, an inventive spirit, and rationalizing abilities contribute to life success. The dynamics of dialogue must reach an almost athletic level, because the person must keep their interlocutor in constant tension, making them, at will, either laugh or cry.
Good income comes from activity connected with the world of science and technology: the nuclear, space, or aviation industries, electronic and computer technology, communications, transport, radio broadcasting, television, and so on. Literature, music, as well as foreign languages — translation, work as a guide or agent — can bring great success. Journalism and specialties connected with the press, publishing houses, printing, work in bookstores, and libraries are favorable. Successful public activity, work connected with trips and business travel, or mediation is also possible. Sometimes occult sciences and medicine are indicated, especially veterinary medicine and healing. A large fortune can be accumulated with a good configuration of the Part of Fortune with the Sun.
If afflicted, the person will have to give up many things, such as frivolity, flightiness, and superficiality, both in the sphere of thinking and in behavior, as well as haste in decisions and rashness in actions and affairs. They must give up immodesty, unreliability, changeability, inconsistency, and excessive fragmentation and dispersion of energy. They will have to work on broadening their spiritual horizons, improving relationships with brothers and sisters, neighbors, and colleagues, and also give up extravagance and squandering money. A poor configuration with Uranus foretells major losses due to problems with papers, letters, and official documents.
Historical figures with the Part of Fortune in Gemini: Queen Victoria of England, the Duchess of Windsor, Otto von Habsburg, Adolf Hitler, Ernst Kraft, Rudolf Steiner, Dmitri Shostakovich, Henry Wallace, Aza Taho-Godi.

Part of Fortune in the Eighth House
This Part of Fortune promises profit from financial transactions and investments, as well as through administrative or public activity, scientific research, and work connected with the affairs of the deceased. Receiving an inheritance and valuable gifts is possible.
Sciences capable of bringing good income include history, archaeology, mythology, philology, philosophy, and theology. Government affairs and political activity may be successful. Good profit comes from secret service or from phenomenal abilities and occult pursuits, such as astrology and magic. This Part of Fortune can contribute to spiritual rebirth, while the marriage partner becomes a source of profit and wealth. Wealth is also indicated by a conjunction with the ruler of the Second House of the horoscope or a strong favorable configuration with it.

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 |
|---|---|
| g Leo | 140 |
| k Scorpio | 106 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (12 Signs) | 669 |
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 |
|---|---|
| O Neptune | 46 |
| R Venus | 45 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Planets) | 454 |
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 | 106 |
| Tenth House | 97 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Houses) | 669 |
