John Belushi - 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: 34.79
Harmony: -13.51
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 05°
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 1st House
FIRST HOUSE (House of personality). SUN (planet of vital energy and individuality) in the First House: the native has strong willpower and a strong sense of individuality, and they like receiving a great deal of attention. They are an independent person with leadership potential. Strengths: strong constitution, generosity, self-confidence, dignity. Weaknesses: authoritarianism, selfishness, dictatorial tendencies.
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: 67.93
Harmony: -11.33
In the birth chart, the Ascendant is the cusp of the First House. It is the second most important factor after the position of the Sun. The position of the Ascendant in the signs of the Zodiac determines how a person manifests outwardly. The position of a planet on the Ascendant significantly strengthens the expression of that planet’s qualities in the person. In general, the position of planets on or near the Ascendant is the third most important factor. The symbol used in the table is (ASC).
The Ascendant speaks of the mask a person wears in public; it is the first impression they make when meeting people. Often, when the person is puzzled by how others describe them, it is because others are describing this aspect of their personality. The Ascendant is present in the person’s appearance and individuality, sometimes extending as far as influencing physical characteristics. The sign becomes noticeably expressed in their image, style, and manner of carrying themselves. It is also reflected in the way they act. Some astrologers believe that the sign becomes weaker after a person reaches the age of 30, as their confidence in who they are grows. The rising sign manifests in the first personal traits inherent in the person and in the way they react to their environment.
ASCENDANT in Capricorn z 01° - Ruler: Saturn and Uranus
Saturn, the senior ruler of the sign Capricorn, is the planet of patience, responsibility, and discipline. But Saturn is also the planet of time and limitations, and Capricorns are often overly serious, which can make them pessimistic. They may see life in gray tones. Still, their ability to plan their time and their natural ambition help them achieve their goals. If Saturn is not afflicted in the natal chart, they almost always reach what they set out to achieve.
People born with Capricorn Rising are usually sensitive, shy, enterprising, ambitious, controlling, reserved, practical, grounded, conscientious, responsible, critical, and cool-headed. It is quite possible that they had problems with communication at an early age. They may suffer from a sense of inferiority. They learned to overcome these feelings through strength and necessity, which gives them determination in pursuing their goals and tasks in life. Great ambition and a refusal to admit defeat until they reach the heights they have set for themselves are their main qualities. Money, position, and power are important to them. Their restraint is sometimes perceived by others as coldness and indifference, while in reality they are simply being responsible and doing their duty.
The main lesson to learn: learn how to communicate.
Saturn and Uranus rule Capricorn, so these two planets will play an important role in the natal chart. Read more...
Ascendant Aspects:
MIDHEAVEN (MC)
Strength: 37.18
Harmony: 14.67
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 Libra j 26° - Ruler: Venus
Ruler: Venus. The MC in Libra often gives a well-known or popular person. They may be known, for example, in professional circles, or they may be involved in work that requires being visible: the stage, radio, or television. Often, such a person becomes a public favorite, a trendsetter, or the face of a certain movement.
As is well known, Libra is drawn to everything beautiful, graceful, and refined, so professions connected with art are not uncommon among people with this Midheaven placement. Their desire for harmony and ability to smooth over sharp edges may lead them into diplomatic work. Libra is often a representative of someone or something; for example, ambassadors represent a country. Final responsibility and major decisions may not rest with them, yet they are visible, significant, and in a special position; in one way or another, they are chosen, which is very important for Libra. They always try to secure a place that is higher, safer, and more comfortable. Their inner motivation is a social position that satisfies their pride, along with financial security.
Many people with the MC in Libra become coauthors, which is no surprise, since Libra is the sign of cooperation. Still, their actions are always aimed at carrying out their own ambitious plans and often have a clearly speculative quality. Libra knows how to manipulate people like no one else: subtle diplomacy, skillfully concealed cunning, and calculation help them advance their plans and achieve their goals. Connections play a very important role in their life; it is through them that Libra ultimately finds what they need. Their outward warmth and friendliness are not always sincere and may simply be a way of communicating with the outside world. Even love affairs and marriage may be entered into for professional reasons, especially among people in science or the arts. Read more...
Midheaven Aspects:
MOON
Strength: 30.25
Harmony: -1.90
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 Sagittarius l 22°
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 as conception and motherhood, unlike Venus, which symbolizes sensual love.
People born with the Moon in Sagittarius are independent, open, generous, positive, idealistic, and optimistic, and these are the very qualities that attract many friends and acquaintances to them. They love to travel, are communicative and sociable, and can express their opinions freely.
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: 43.29
Harmony: 16.39
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 Aquarius x 20°
The thoughts of people with Mercury in the sign of Aquarius may be unique, unusual, quick, eccentric, unconventional, scientific, strange, and perhaps somewhat ahead of their time. They are progressive and nontraditional thinkers.
Read more...
E Mercury in the 2nd House
SECOND HOUSE (House of property). MERCURY (planet of the mind) in the Second House: the native can earn money through intellectual activity — writing, teaching, lecturing — as well as in the field of information. They willingly spend money on travel, education, and devices that make life easier. Sometimes they have more than one source of income. Strengths: ability to quickly use financial opportunities, negotiate, and bargain. Weaknesses: wastefulness, impracticality; they easily become a victim of deception and theft.
Read more...
Mercury Aspects:
VENUS
Strength: 53.19
Harmony: 11.74
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 Capricorn z 15°
People born with Venus in Capricorn express love and affection thoughtfully, carefully, and with complete seriousness. They do not display these feelings openly. They are deeply concerned with what others will think of them.
Read more...
R Venus in the 1st House
FIRST HOUSE (House of personality). VENUS (planet of love and pleasure) in the First House: the native is affectionate, flirtatious, and usually beautiful. They are charming in communication and try to avoid loneliness. It is important for them to look good, and they are inclined to spend too much money on themselves. Strengths: capacity for sympathy, artistry, a strong love of pleasure and luxury.
Read more...
Venus Aspects:
MARS
Strength: 46.56
Harmony: -11.31
Mars is strength, assertiveness, aggressive sexuality, struggle, and rivalry. The planet’s most important functions are protection, the instinct of self-preservation, and self-expression. In the modern world, people rarely have to protect their lives or homes from mortal danger. What comes to the forefront instead is defending one’s own opinion, protecting personal interests in professional and social spheres, competing, and striving to win.
A strong Mars gives the world heroes capable of sacrificing themselves for other people or for higher ideals. In everyday reality, the person expresses themselves vividly through activity directed toward the common good. More...
T Mars in Aquarius x 16°
The energy of people born with Mars in the sign of Aquarius is expressed in a unique and original way. They may even be brilliant in the way they think. They are inventive, interested in science, somewhat eccentric, unconventional, and possibly rebellious in their ideas.
Read more...
T Mars in the 2nd House
SECOND HOUSE (House of property). MARS (planet of energy and self-assertion) in the Second House: the native knows how to earn money and make a profit through their own efforts and competitive spirit. Money is important to them, and they fight for it aggressively. They often go through financial crises but quickly get back on their feet. Strengths: effectiveness, enterprise in financial matters, ability to create their own business. Weaknesses: impulsiveness in spending, wastefulness, frivolity; they are predisposed to financial losses caused by fire, haste, or carelessness.
Read more...
Mars Aspects:
JUPITER
Strength: 53.15
Harmony: 13.07
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 Capricorn z 15°
People born with Jupiter in Capricorn are honest, sincere, loyal, inventive, resourceful, and good at understanding different mechanisms. Their efforts to grow, develop, find new opportunities, and succeed are combined with caution.
Read more...
Y Jupiter in the 1st House
FIRST HOUSE (House of personality). JUPITER (planet of luck and development) in the First House: the native is cheerful and energetic and enjoys success in society. They are optimistic, inspire confidence in others, and generously give people their time and energy. They are fortunate, and life usually goes well for them. Strengths: love of life, breadth of views, excess energy, kindness. Weaknesses: self-indulgence, gullibility, tendency toward weight gain. They may sometimes be unfaithful in love.
Read more...
Jupiter Aspects:
SATURN
Strength: 22.41
Harmony: 6.15
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 Virgo h 04°
People born with Saturn in Virgo are hardworking, capable, practical, demanding, skilled in any task, organized, sometimes shy, thrifty, diligent, efficient, and punctual.
Read more...
U Saturn in the 8th House
EIGHTH HOUSE (House of life and death, rebirth, and inheritance). SATURN (planet of discipline and limitations) in the Eighth House: the native takes responsibility for other people and may become involved in their financial affairs. They may feel somewhat inhibited sexually or find it difficult to express their emotions through sex. Saturn in the Eighth House usually indicates that they will live to an advanced age. Strength: they save money in order to protect loved ones. Weakness: problems connected with property or inheritance.
Read more...
Saturn Aspects:
URANUS
Strength: 53.53
Harmony: 5.90
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 6th House
SIXTH HOUSE (House of service and health). URANUS (planet of change and originality) in the Sixth House: in their work, the native comes up with new methods and generates original ideas. Because of their impulsiveness and impatience, they may sometimes lose out to more precise and disciplined coworkers. They are prone to unusual ailments that are difficult to diagnose and treat. Strength: the ability to modernize and improve old ideas. Weakness: inconsistent results and unstable commitment to their work.
Read more...
Uranus Aspects:
NEPTUNE
Strength: 48.47
Harmony: 5.61
Neptune is full of mysteries. Its realm is feelings and impressions, dreams and reveries. The planet forms a refined perception of art, as well as an attraction to religion and mysticism. Neptune constantly acts on a person in an almost imperceptible, even mysterious way, creating forces that reject and refuse to acknowledge any psychic or spiritual limitations. These forces stir the feelings to their deepest depths and direct the mind toward the search for still-unknown and undiscovered mysteries of nature, the cosmos, and the human being.
More...
O Neptune in the 9th House
NINTH HOUSE (House of exploration and education). NEPTUNE (planet of spirituality and illusions) in the Ninth House: the native is interested in deep questions, perhaps of a philosophical or mystical nature. They are imaginative and perceptive and could become a good teacher or lawyer. Complications may arise during travel abroad. Strengths: foresight and idealism. Weakness: dissatisfaction with their fate.
Read more...
Neptune Aspects:
PLUTO
Strength: 68.54
Harmony: -17.83
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 8th House
EIGHTH HOUSE (House of life and death, rebirth, and inheritance). PLUTO (planet of transformation) in the Eighth House: the native’s drive for success is combined with a need to analyze their own actions. In sex, they can be dominant and passionate. Pluto in this House suggests that their death will not go unnoticed by society. Strengths: independence and resourcefulness. Weakness: a predisposition to unhealthy attachments.
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 11th 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 Eleventh House strengthens cunning, craftiness, foresight, and resourcefulness, and gives wit, sociability, and the ability to adapt to people, things, and circumstances. People with this Chiron placement usually have good relationships with friends, like-minded people, guardians, sponsors, superiors, and may also have friends among high-ranking individuals. Duality, diplomacy, flattery, and the art of ingratiating themselves help them in all life situations. These people quickly find their bearings even in critical and extreme situations and immediately find the right solution, while maintaining inner calm and confidence that whatever they decide will give them a strong foundation for the future. They have a strong social position, sense the needs of others, and are capable of coming to their aid. At the same time, they may help others while also making use of someone else’s services. For them, there is no hierarchy between the sexes or between people of different political views, different faiths, nationalities, or races. For them, all people are equal, and they behave the same way with a CEO as with the company’s workers, and with a hospital’s chief physician as with a nurse’s aide or cleaner. They choose friends at their own discretion and easily let go of those with whom they fail to find mutual understanding.

Chiron Aspects:
The Houses provide information about how, where, and to what extent a person's characteristic traits will manifest, how their potential will be revealed, and how all of this will be realized in everyday life. Each House represents a specific sphere of human life. The Houses reflect a person's life in society, the kind of person life compels them to become, and show acquired skills, habits, methods, and goals that life sets before the person, as well as the ways through which they will move toward their goal.
1st HOUSE - z 01°
Strength: 220.27
Harmony: 3.04
1st House in Capricorn - Ruler of Saturn and Uranus
The First House is angular, which means it possesses qualities such as activity, initiative, and dynamism. It is the first of the Houses of life, and in this capacity, it represents the physical aspect of the personality — the body.
The First House in Capricorn forms a complex character, the severity of which depends directly on the person’s spiritual growth: stubbornness and rigidity in communication must be transformed into confidence and determination. To the native, obstacles do not exist, and overcoming difficulties is one of their favorite pursuits. They are a realist who stands firmly on the ground. High social status is of primary importance to them, and for this reason they work tirelessly and limit themselves in entertainment and purchases.
Saturn and Uranus rule Capricorn, so their influence should be taken into account when analyzing the First House (Ascendant).
Read more...
2nd HOUSE - x 11°
Strength: 108.84
Harmony: 8.09
2nd House in Aquarius - Ruler of Uranus and Saturn
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.
Eccentric Aquarius gives free-thinking and extravagant behavior in material matters. The key word here is freedom. Money comes and goes easily. It is difficult for the native to hold on to even large sums. At a lower level of development, they spend lavishly and try to impress others with outward show; at a higher level, they are simply not interested in everyday comfort and do not become attached to possessions. In both cases, they are a benefactor.
The senior ruler Uranus and the junior ruler Saturn rule Aquarius, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the Second House.
Read more...
3rd HOUSE - c 23°
Strength: 25.40
Harmony: 4.67
3rd House in Pisces - Ruler of Neptune and Jupiter
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 Pisces, its ruler is the most mysterious and unpredictable planet: Neptune. Hard aspects draw the native into intrigues and confrontations with hidden enemies. When the chart is favorable, events unfold in such a way that they study at a school with an artistic focus or shine on stage, win painting competitions, and, with a strong Moon, also sing. The star of the school or the victim of secret conspiracies — these are two extremes that are difficult to avoid.
The senior ruler Neptune and the junior ruler Jupiter rule Pisces, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the Third House.
Read more...
4th HOUSE - a 26°
Strength: 23.28
Harmony: -5.65
4th House in Aries - Ruler of Mars and Pluto
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.
With the Fourth House in Aries, childhood and the home environment in adulthood unfold as if the native were on a campaign by a campfire, in harsh, almost military conditions. The native suffers because of this, since the atmosphere at home is heated as well: frequent quarrels and a struggle for dominance between the mother and father. Paradoxically, after finding family happiness with a calm and loving partner, they may begin to miss the battles and conflicts that symbolize passion and a stimulus for growth.
The senior ruler Mars and the junior ruler Pluto rule Aries, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the Fourth House.
Read more...
5th HOUSE - s 21°
Strength: 26.59
Harmony: 5.87
5th House in Taurus - Ruler of Venus
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 Taurus forms a sensual and deeply loving nature. Children become the foundation of the person’s life philosophy, although difficulties with conception may often arise. The person wants to enjoy all the material pleasures of life, give their children access to the best things and a prestigious education, and provide them with housing.
Venus rules Taurus, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Fifth House.
Read more...
6th HOUSE - d 11°
Strength: 75.18
Harmony: 14.09
6th House in Gemini - Ruler of Mercury
The Sixth House is traditionally associated with work, health, and service. This House is still focused on the individual, on the “me.” It expresses a person’s attitude toward employment: whether they will do the work voluntarily or whether it will feel like a heavy burden. The Sixth House also indicates a person’s habits, established routine, occupation, general nutrition and, in particular, diet, as well as pets.
The sign of Gemini on the cusp of the Sixth House encourages the native toward Mercury-ruled activities: journalism, trade, marketing, and teaching. The person loves being aware of everything happening in the office and enjoys demonstrating how well-informed they are, but they may also become a victim of gossip.
Mercury rules Gemini, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Sixth House.

7th HOUSE - f 01°
Strength: 15.12
Harmony: -0.95
7th House in Cancer - Ruler of Moon
When describing the properties of the Seventh House as an angular House, it is customary to say that it manifests openly and through the public sphere. Traditionally, it is considered the House of relationships in all areas of life: love, friendship, cooperation, and even enmity. It shows what a person expects from contact with other people and how they express themselves in any union. The Seventh House teaches development through the close social circle, the ability to accept the successes of others, and the ability to learn missing qualities from enemies. The likelihood of marriage and divorce, as well as the personality of the spouse, can also be read through the planets and sign.
Men and women with the Seventh House in Cancer, when falling in love, already hear wedding bells and try on the role of future spouse for the person they like. Of course, this does not mean they will rush headlong to the registry office; the very thought may even frighten them...
The Moon rules Cancer, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Seventh House.

8th HOUSE - g 11°
Strength: 108.34
Harmony: -18.43
8th House in Leo - Ruler of Sun
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.
If the Eighth House is in Leo, the horoscope holder is a lucky thrill-seeker. They are drawn to dangerous adventures and the trials of fame, and they perceive all blows of fate with optimism. By overcoming them, the person strengthens their self-confidence. Wealth and fame will come if the Sun is strong. When afflicted, it is easy to burn out in the crucible of passions, ambitions, and carelessness.
The Sun rules Leo, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Eighth House.

9th HOUSE - h 23°
Strength: 70.11
Harmony: 13.81
9th House in Virgo - Ruler of Mercury
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.
The Ninth House in Virgo creates a seeker of truth who strives to assemble a complete puzzle of reality from the smallest details, sometimes not realizing that the overall picture depends on the pieces they have chosen. The more attentive they are, the more beautiful the result will be.
Mercury rules Virgo, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Ninth House.

10th House in Libra - Ruler of Venus
The Tenth House occupies the highest position in the horoscope, emphasizing the culminating nature of the corresponding area and pointing to the highest goal the person should strive to achieve. Therefore, the Tenth House indicates a possible profession, social position and reputation, as well as, in a broader sense, the true needs of the self. The key words for the Tenth House are social realization, recognition, success, fame, and renown.
A person with the Tenth House in Libra sees obtaining high social status as their main life task, but at a low level of development they are bound by social clichés, exalting elitism and prestige while ignoring spirituality.
Venus rules Libra, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Tenth House.

11th House in Scorpio - Ruler of Pluto and Mars
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 Scorpio forms a powerful desire to be an authoritative and significant figure in society, both on a broad scale and within a group of several close friends.
The senior ruler Pluto and the junior ruler Mars rule Scorpio, so both Mars and Pluto will play an important role when analyzing the Eleventh House.

Strength: 56.83

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

Karmic indicators help a person become aware of deep-rooted problems that go back to past lives, and begin working on themselves in order to overcome them and improve both this life and, potentially, the next one. Karmic problems should not be understood as punishment for misdeeds and sins, as karma is usually interpreted in the everyday sense. Karma is not retribution, but rather inertia, when a person attracts similar situations from one life to another. From a karmic point of view, every element of the natal chart can be interpreted without exception. However, the most important indicators of karma in the horoscope are retrograde planets, if any, and the Lunar Nodes.
Retrograde Planets
Retrograde planets are always connected with turning back to the past. The more retrograde planets a person has in the horoscope, the stronger their connection with the past. A retrograde planet also points to an unresolved task from a past life, unfinished business, or unrealized abilities. It forces the person to take up again what could not be completed in the past. The symbol used in the table is R.
Retrograde Mercury — Individuality
When Mercury is retrograde in the horoscope, the individual’s conscious mind is able to intercept ideas from the universal consciousness of earlier times. Usually, they are not aware of this, but they are aware that they cannot easily make others understand everything they know. This is partly connected with the inversion of the Mercury symbol, in which the significance of Matter exceeds the significance of Spirit and Soul. This makes the individual concerned with the form of their ideas. And this acts as a barrier to the essence of their knowledge.
In addition, the wavelength of their mind differs slightly from what is accepted in society. Thought processes tend to repeat themselves like an endless recording, and as a result, most of the things they create are, in one form or another, copies of what they have already done. When they speak, it is difficult for them to project the exact telepathic pictures that convey the meanings of their thoughts. Thus, they often feel misunderstood and wonder why others do not always see things the same way they do.
They see themselves as more separate from society than a person with Mercury in direct motion may be. As a result, they desperately try to develop contacts with other people, overemphasizing their ideas until they begin to irritate those around them. Feeling constrained in company, they make great efforts to win the favor of others. Nevertheless, at the slightest hint of rejection, they may give up too easily. Ultimately, they learn that in order to have self-confidence, they must become more detached and impartial than people with Mercury in direct motion. This is often interpreted by others as “coldness,” but it is simply the vibration of retrograde Mercury, which is so obviously disharmonious with the vibrations of direct motion. Behind the apparent wall, this individual is far more sensitive than most people can imagine.
Once the communication barrier has been crossed, tremendous understanding and intuition emanate from retrograde Mercury. The retrograde individual does not fit into the ideas and opinions of the people around them. Instead, they can find peace in gratitude for their unique way of seeing things.
It is interesting to note that many people with musical talent have retrograde Mercury. Perhaps awareness of difficulties with spoken language led them to another form of communication, one that has much greater freedom and many levels of subtle mental and emotional expression.
Retrograde Mercury — Karma
A person with retrograde Mercury must experience unresolved relationship karma. They react to others as if those people symbolize figures from their past. Thus, it is difficult for them to keep the focus of their consciousness on the “here and now.” Usually, this manifests as difficulties with family and relatives. But the issue of relationships extends beyond communication with other people and includes the perception of the universe as a whole. There is often a problem characteristic of retrograde Mercury in terms of seeing what may be called an inverted reality. The individual has difficulty understanding the basic relationship between cause and effect. They explore the essence of life itself, yet often cannot see the simple connections between things, circumstances, and people. Lost in thoughts that lie beyond their understanding, they must learn to be content with the simple things on which life is based. They are so absorbed in uncovering what is beyond their understanding that they almost always miss the obvious.
From a karmic point of view, this individual must learn to focus attention on the reality of the present rather than lose themselves in all the apparent layers they perceive. When they are able to do this, they will be able to establish a solid point of reference in the “here and now,” through which all the discoveries they make can be expressed to the outer world.
Retrograde Mercury in Aquarius
This is one of the best positions for retrograde Mercury. The Uranian air quality of Aquarius gives Mercury enough space to comfortably experience the three-phase retrograde process through different dimensions of time and space. In Phase I, the individual feels happy leaping into the future, but does not want to spread into other people’s space. In Phase III, they are happy because they do not violate other people’s space, and they are glad to explore the past again in order to unearth extraordinary discoveries that will be useful at another future moment in time. In the cross-vibration of Phase II, the individual experiences a brief rest from research, but may be happy helping others. In all three phases, there is something for retrograde Mercury in Aquarius, which makes the individual so remarkably unique and original.
Although it may seem that they do not always have common sense, and at times show less stability than others would like to see in them, they have an enormous range of ideas that they draw from the most unusual places. Society usually fails to notice these ideas. They may take a concept as old as the world, change it slightly, and it may not be accepted for a millennium after they have proposed it. Their mental energies tend to flutter rather than hold a definite focus for a long period of time, and they may discuss a wide variety of topics in a single conversation. Although it may not seem that they are proving any point, they nevertheless prove that point in the strangest way. Others will understand them better days, weeks, or months after communicating with them than at the moment of conversation. They often bring with them from a past life into the present time — into a time when the world may be more ready to accept their ideas — the necessary details for remarkable inventions.
Retrograde Mercury in the Second House
Here, the individual feels most comfortable during Phase III of the retrograde process, where many of their thoughts are based on what they have already seen in the past. They may take a defensive position regarding the value systems they have worked so hard to crystallize. Easily becoming possessive of their past thoughts, they may fixate on one obsessive idea after another.
Much attention is focused on money; however, they may be frugal in small matters and wasteful in large ones, — depending on the phase they are in at the given moment. The difficulty of this position is that the thinking processes may become so deeply rooted in the material that it will not be easy for the individual to see the relative significance of other levels of life.
They tend to repeat themselves in many ways, eventually boring those around them. This is a very difficult position for Mercury — to be free enough to allow the individual to experience the full range of conscious reaction mechanisms. In almost everything they do, this individual is a creature of habit, and they often have difficulty breaking past patterns of behavior connected with excessive indulgence of their desires. Sometimes this position can lead to excess weight, since retrograde Mercury’s need for verbal expression, combined with the possessive qualities of the Second House and Taurus’s great love of food, creates a desire to overeat. In other cases, the retaining qualities of the Second House combine with the inward direction of retrograde Mercury to create an ulcer-prone individual who, instead of expressing all their values, becomes irritated and torments themselves with the question of why the world does not accept them. This individual brings into this life the karma of crystallized thinking within their value system, to which they stubbornly cling even after it has ceased to be relevant. They may become the happiest of people if they step beyond the limits of old habits that constantly pull them back.
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 Virgo
This placement indicates a person who is trying to reach their past ideals. They constantly examine themselves in order to evaluate how worthy their life is of the one they believe they should be living. Although they may seem overly concerned with the details that form the structure of their life, ultimately it is through these very details that they can create a carefully ordered universe that makes sense to them. They view the world through separate parts and then try to fit these parts into what they have formed within themselves from the past. In this way, they inwardly absorb what they consider to be precise segments from the outer world, and then build their structured life from these segments.
They think that in order to know themselves, they must understand the workings of everything that touches their life. The main problem is that, because of Saturn’s retrograde nature, they unintentionally preprogram their perception of things so that those things can fit into their ready-made concepts. This makes them very inflexible and seems to reduce Virgo’s mutability. In their work, they can be unusually efficient, especially when they know that other people rely on them for order and effectiveness.
Karmically, this native is compelled to live in the idealized world they would like to see around them. When they understand how unrealistic some of their expectations are, they may become more comfortable in the existing world. Then the perfection that already exists becomes obvious to them. Because it is very important for them to observe the lives of other people, which is characteristic of this placement, the native passes through Phase Three of the retrograde process before actively expressing themselves in Phases One and Two.
Retrograde Saturn in the Eighth House
With this placement, there are many karmic exchanges with other people. The native tends to live by other people’s values in order to transform themselves through what others have considered meaningful. As a result of past incarnations, they have not yet learned true purposefulness. Thus, they waver under the influence of their marriage partner and other people. In sexuality, restriction that may reach the point of impotence is caused by many accumulated karmic fears. The person worries deeply about this and repeatedly tests their sexuality simply to reassure themselves that it exists. Many women with this Saturn placement experienced an unpleasant sexual encounter with an adult man in early childhood. This becomes the main cause of frigidity, guilt, and shame later on. In all cases, the sexual nature has its roots in the past.
Devotion to what has mature value in other people gives the native great confidence and sound judgment in the world of business, where their Saturnian caution works to their practical advantage. For a student of the mystical realms, this placement of retrograde Saturn makes it possible to resurrect old karma in order to develop new insight into old ways of thinking. In this way, the person is able to be born again, because they can permanently discard old value systems that were never truly their own, but which they tried to live up to in the past.
Since many of the world’s values depend strongly on the sexual evolution of the human race at any given moment, this placement of retrograde Saturn in the Eighth House reflects a significant part of collective thinking through the native’s personal life. Much time is spent in Phase Three of the retrograde process, when old traditions are once again measured against the current standards of society. Karmically, the native is reviewing and transforming everything that humanity has crystallized as past traditions.
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 Gemini
Here the native experiences a very active mental life. They continue to shift from one retrograde phase to another as they try to find the identity that will make them most satisfied. Being unusually nervous and unstable, they are strongly influenced by the external thinking of the world. Because of this, it is difficult for them to stay with any one topic or project for a long time. They are so interested in exploring all the mental possibilities that occur to them that their life literally becomes a kaleidoscope of scattered ideas and positions. Lacking sufficient confidence in the uniqueness of their own thoughts, they tend to identify with the originality of other people.
With this placement of retrograde Uranus, there is great instability. At times, the native may actually harm themselves by trying to understand much of what lies beyond the boundaries of expected normality, so that they may in fact lose any real perspective. This happens because they absorb belief systems that not only distract them from the progress they would like to make, but also carry them far away from any realistic, goal-oriented approach to life. The essence of the problem is that, subconsciously, they are very gullible.
Realizing this, they must be careful in the areas of hypnosis or other techniques that deeply affect the mind, which would bring them too quickly to those levels of their Being that they are not yet ready to control. They are so mentally active that even their interest in sexuality takes on more of the coloring of intellectual exploration than of physical or emotional satisfaction.
As one of the most curious people in the Zodiac, they are living through the karma of an explorer who, over many lifetimes, could not make a decision in favor of any chosen path. Now they continue to change their direction, momentum, and speed, trying many different things but never truly settling on any one of them. They get to know people from various walks of life, each of whom represents something they would like to try. If they work on developing their consciousness, then one day they will clearly understand the mental gymnastics they have used for many lifetimes, which kept them from knowing themselves.
Retrograde Uranus in the Sixth House
Here the native may express significant innovation in their everyday work routine. They can take the most ordinary tasks and discover unusually interesting ways of handling them. This person is very sensitive. This makes them especially open to environmental influences, which in turn cause them to feel the need to be active all the time, so they may become inwardly restless.
No matter how often this native says they want peace and quiet, they tend to resonate with anything that moves their life away from the everyday and toward the exciting. Thus, if peace is truly what they seek, they have a strong tendency to sabotage themselves. They are very eager to understand why people do things in a particular way. This leads them to constant attempts to understand the motivations of everyone around them.
Karmically, they are a great innovator on the physical plane. Past incarnations have given them a deep understanding of relationships and processes in the physical world. Regardless of which phase of the retrograde process they are in at any given moment, they are constantly striving to understand or apply their understanding in order to be more useful to the world around them. All they must learn is how to remain calm and collected throughout this process.
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 Libra
Here the native experiences Phase Three of the retrograde process, when they impartially absorb impressions from their surroundings. They usually think that all the feelings they experience are their own, and that they ultimately require some action or decision on their part. The fact is, however, that this placement gives the native the opportunity to experience much within the universe. At the same time, they are not required to take it personally.
They are very sensitive, especially to music and art, and they find it difficult to deal with the harshness of life, to which they are excessively open. They make the mistake of believing that they must balance everything around them in order to balance themselves. This apparently causes them to become involved in other people’s affairs more than is actually useful. They must understand that every new grain of sand they add to the scales of Libra as a balanced solution to what already exists creates the next imbalance, which then requires a new solution. Many people with this placement become so disappointed in trying to center the world around themselves that they eventually turn to drugs or other forms of escapism in order to avoid realizing that their personal difficulties come from problems that do not require solutions.
When this configuration is used properly, it gives the native tremendous understanding of their mirror reflection, or of that part of their individuality that they see through the eyes of others. Karmically, they can learn to integrate better into society through this type of vision. At the same time, they will move farther away from their essential self, as they strive to know themselves through others. They can achieve happiness when they realize that a person does not receive happiness, but discovers it in a more or less constant state of satisfaction with life experience and with the tiny role a person plays within the totality of the cosmic plan.
Retrograde Neptune in the Ninth House
Here retrograde Neptune finds a special placement, in which its intuitive abilities strengthen the understanding of the higher mind. With positive aspects, the depth of inspiration can be enormous. The native is able to understand the higher essence of life and its true meaning. They often experience rejection and a sense of loneliness in personal relationships, but this serves only to encourage them to become more cosmically aware of their Divine nature.
They are extremely sensitive to their surroundings and at times exaggerate their sensory impressions. Their mood is strongly influenced by weather conditions and the general harmonic vibrations of wherever they are at any given moment in time. Being very compassionate, they can direct their feelings purposefully if they feel that they are serving some higher calling.
During Phase One of the retrograde process, the visionary qualities of this placement become outstanding. Karmically, this native is destined to understand themselves on the most subtle levels. Temporary withdrawal from society helps the native see their higher essence more clearly. In this life, they continue the search for truth by following the order of nature and natural cosmic law.
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 Leo
This configuration speaks of the overthrow of authority for the purpose of transformation. On a global scale, the generation with Pluto in Leo entered a world weakened by emotional dependence, deceived by substitute materialism, and clinging to past values that no longer served a useful purpose. In this light, the new generation was not scattered by a war-torn world, but was raised in the consciousness of a period of rebuilding. The emphasis then fell on the individual’s ability to develop strength within themselves, so that the person, as part of the generation, could overcome oppression. Thus, the native with Pluto in Leo questions the validity of the “establishment.” They realize that some idea or organization that appears to give strength to a mass of weak people may be an illusion, and that the entire structure created around it may well be based on false values.
Because of Leo’s desire to live in a world they can be proud of, they are quite ready to tear apart everything built before them on foundations they consider meaningless. The retrograde nature of the planet causes the native to view this worldwide shift in values as a personal crusade in which they must play some significant role. On a personal level, they explore their identity by analyzing what they themselves are doing to make their world more meaningful. Thus, they spend a great deal of time in Phase One of the retrograde process, trying to project a sense of confident strength, built on honest foundations, onto a world that so deeply needs it.
On the karmic level, the native feels obligated to overcome everything that has always made humanity weak. Thus, the purpose of their entire life is first to develop power over themselves, and then over the false structures in society that deserve a more creative and honorable foundation.
Retrograde Pluto in the Eighth House
This is undoubtedly the deepest placement in the entire Zodiac. Pluto not only rules the Eighth House, but the introspective qualities of its retrograde nature are also in complete harmony with this House placement. Here the native constantly explores other people’s values. They seek to understand the deepest mysteries. Sexuality represents the most incomprehensible question of all for them. Very little in life passes by without them clinically examining it. They have a very strong sexual nature.
Their drive, however, is not only physical, but also mental and cosmically oriented. Whether they express it physically or transform it into mental realms, this drive takes hold of everything they seek to understand in the universe. Usually expressed during Phase One of the retrograde process, this placement actively creates constant destruction in old traditional habit patterns, so that the native may eventually experience rebirth within themselves on the very deepest levels.
They are so connected with other people’s values that, whether they like it or not, they come under the strong influence of mass consciousness. They bring into this life a legacy of Plutonian power of change, and the more dissatisfied they become with the world around them, the more they begin to understand the mysteries within themselves.
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 Fourth House - South Node in the Tenth House. Karma of Roots
The North Node in the Fourth House indicates the need to invest in family, respect traditional values, and maintain a connection with parents and children. It will be good if the person resolves the issue of their own home as early as possible and creates a comfortable, cozy atmosphere there. Activities connected with cooking, raising children, and organizing a harmonious space are favorable.
The native should not be ambitious or overly pragmatic. Career aspirations will be difficult to realize if the person does not have a solid foundation in the form of family.
In a broader sense, the North Node in the Fourth House symbolizes service to the homeland and love for one’s country. Recognition and success will come to the person if they choose a profession such as historian, military service member, politician, and so on, and honestly fulfill their duty.

Lunar Node Aspects:
SELENA
In addition to the North Node, the path of karmic advancement and the application of innate talents is shown by the White Moon, also called Selena or Lulu. This is a fictitious point that reflects the light karma accumulated by the native in a past life, or by their ancestors over several generations. The place where the guardian angel’s sign is located shows the area in which the native has accumulated the greatest number of good deeds. This is where the starry road to success and prosperity now shines, provided the higher qualities of the sign where the White Moon is located are developed and expressed.
Selena (White Moon) in Leo
Selena in Leo becomes the guardian angel of people who, in the past, performed just and good deeds connected with creative pursuits. They either created masterpieces themselves, regardless of life circumstances, following a higher calling, or engaged in charity by materially helping artists and performers, buying people out of slavery, and providing research expeditions with everything necessary. An extraordinarily bright aura of strength and goodness still attracts creative like-minded people to them, who choose those with Selena in Leo as natural leaders. However, it is important to understand the specific influence of Lulu in order to safely avoid the temptations of pride.
The bearer of the White Moon in the solar sign of childlike joy and creativity is capable, through the power of their aura, of making friends, relatives, and themselves famous. Yet on the path to fulfilling their ambitions, it is vitally important not to fall into pride and self-admiration, ignoring the creative flame for the sake of greed.

Selena in the 8th House
Now the White Moon in the Eighth House shows that angelic protection will be with the native in the most difficult and dangerous situations, allowing them to emerge safe and unharmed from the murky waters of other people’s schemes, and even from beneath the rubble after earthquakes. Challenging aspects indicate that karma has not been fully worked through: a thirst for heroic deeds draws the native toward danger, but whether they can hear the guidance from above and open their soul and mind to the wisdom of the Higher Powers depends on their understanding of Selena’s essence.
Astrologers believe that in previous incarnations, a person with Selena in the Eighth House heroically saved people during war and natural disasters, risking their own life, and therefore now, in the first half of life, no danger threatens them.

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 Pisces
Lilith in the sign of Pisces intensifies sensuality of a secret and suffering kind, which is not always perceived at the conscious level. Here it may choose both an illegal direction and an improper pattern of behavior. With this position of Lilith, the person is categorically required to renounce the role of seducer, tempter, corrupter of minors, and distributor of alcohol or drugs for the sake of profit, self-enrichment, or the satisfaction of animal instincts. They must also give up procuring, owning brothels, pimping, as well as espionage, sheltering criminal elements, or engaging in subversive activity. It is considered together with the positions of Neptune, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Chiron, and the Twelfth House of the horoscope.

Lilith in the 2nd House
In a past life, the person accumulated money and other material valuables, stopping at nothing — not at blackmail, not at coercion, and not at simply taking from others whatever caught their eye. For the most part, people with this placement themselves led a frivolous way of life and sought their victims among equally reckless people, mainly the wealthy and morally unstable. They were never known for wealth; whatever they earned, they spent on drinking and pleasures. Now they must give up worshiping the “golden calf” and help those for whom their help would truly be beneficial. If they do not give voluntarily, something will be taken from them by force; that is, they may become a victim of robbery or fraud. Money may disappear, property may burn down, and so on. This position can become quite a serious stumbling block for the person. They should seek relief and a softening of Karma in the position of the White Moon - Selena.

Lilith Aspects:
PART OF FORTUNE
The Part of Fortune represents the path on which a person can achieve the greatest joy and fulfillment. It then becomes obvious that the Part of Fortune has much to do with how well a person meets and overcomes their negative karma, while at the same time creating and accepting the rewards of their positive karma.
The Part of Fortune, like the planet Jupiter, promises abundance. However, it encompasses a significantly larger part of a person’s existence than any specific planet. The Part of Fortune attunes the individual to the environment in which prosperity will be most natural for them, and determines for each person what their unique and special concept of success will be. It also shows the person’s strongest need, defining the keynote to which their entire being resonates.
Part of Fortune in Aquarius
To achieve success when the Part of Fortune is located in Aquarius, such qualities are required as independence, self-reliance, a strong social sense, constancy, loyalty to loved ones and friends, devotion to like-minded people, as well as sensitivity, kindness, goodwill, compassion, mercy, and philanthropic feelings. The foundation of success is great diligence, good work capacity, an abundance of ideas, optimism, enthusiasm, faith in the best, originality, and uniqueness. A clearly expressed social point of view, the ability to keep pace with progress, and a striving for social justice are necessary.
This Part of Fortune promises protection and recommendations from influential people, both secular and spiritual. Income comes from inventive and rationalizing activity, scientific research, space and computer technology, electronics, cybernetics, bionics, genetic engineering, occult sciences, psychology, sociology, pedagogy, and any collective or public activity.
If afflicted, success may be hindered by eccentricity, excessive extravagance, a love of outward effects, a lack of spiritual core or support, and compromising connections.
Historical figures with the Part of Fortune in Aquarius: Michel Nostradamus, Cornelius Agrippa, Dante, Immanuel Kant, Ramakrishna, Maximilien Robespierre, Havelock Ellis, Richard Wagner, Maria Montessori, Franklin Roosevelt, Stalin, Sepharial, Mikhail Levin.

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

VERTEX
In the western hemisphere of every natal chart, a very important point can be found: the Vertex. It is compared to a handle on the gates of fate, which must be turned so that the doors open and allow the native into a new dimension. This is not just a point, but the peak of a sensitive axis in the horoscope, along which the electric current of karma flows. The Vertex is also called the electric Ascendant. It is activated unexpectedly during truly emotional periods of life.
The sign where this turning point of fate is located is at once an arena of passions, the scenery of the circumstances offered by life, and a clue to what exactly the native should develop within themselves. The aspects of the Vertex show talents and skills that are already present from the beginning, helping the native correspond to the scenario proposed by fate. These are magical tools that help the person pass through trials with honor and gain positive new experience in the houses where the Vertex is placed. More...
Strength Concentration (Astrodynes)
This section examines the concentration of energy in the natal chart: which signs, planets, and houses contain the main strength. Everyone knows the Sun zodiac sign, but when the signs are viewed through the prism of the natal chart, it becomes clear how energy is distributed between the two strongest signs, and the Sun sign is not always dominant.
The signs give an idea of natural, instinctive motivations, such as likes and dislikes, attitudes, and reactions, and make it possible to judge whether a calling is present. The two strongest signs are shown in the table below. For more details about the distribution of strength in the natal chart, see the “Astrodynes” section: link to the Astrodynes chart.
| Sign | Strength |
|---|---|
| z Capricorn | 185 |
| x Aquarius | 143 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (12 Signs) | 822 |
Now the planets that concentrate the main energy in the chart can be identified. The planet with the greatest number of “astrodynes” is considered the strongest planet in the chart, since it reflects the most powerful energetic potential. Why are strong planets so important? The most powerful planets in the table indicate potential that can easily be transformed into abilities. This is where the person can succeed and achieve the best results.
| Planet | Strength |
|---|---|
| P Pluto | 68 |
| I Uranus | 53 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Planets) | 559 |
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 | 220 |
| Second House | 108 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Houses) | 822 |
