My head speaks English, my heart speaks Russian, and my ear speaks French”. Link to biography.

Vladimir Nabokov - 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: 83.55
Harmony: -11.11
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 Taurus s 01°
Taurus has tremendous inner strength, allowing them to withstand even the most difficult times. Yet despite such remarkable qualities, this representative of the Earth element often remains inactive, waiting for the perfect moment, and frequently misses good opportunities. A Taurus Sun is not prone to momentary impulses. On the contrary, everything in their life should be clearly planned. Any force majeure can drive this person mad, although outwardly they will not show the slightest sign of confusion and will continue moving forward no matter what.

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: 47.54
Harmony: -2.34
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 Aries a 26° - Ruler Mars and Pluto
Mars, the ruler of the sign Aries, gives this zodiac sign militancy, fire, and assertiveness, since Mars is the planet of war and fire. A typical Aries knows how to stand up for their rights and is decisive and self-confident. Aries also has an unpleasant character trait — selfishness. This is because Aries comes first in the zodiac circle and symbolically represents a newborn child, and small children think only of themselves. Mars is the planet of instincts, and people born under this sign tend to live by impulse.
People born with Aries Rising tend to be energetic, proactive, hasty, conflict-prone, selfish, impulsive, quick-tempered, aggressive, assertive, stubborn, independent, and alert. They may also have mechanical ability, be physically active, and show egocentric tendencies in a negative sense. A general dislike of restraint and any kind of limitation, along with an unwillingness to follow someone else’s instructions, may be typical for them. They need to learn diplomacy and tact, as well as how to plan their affairs and projects in advance. By directing their energy toward more constructive goals, they will get better results. Like the ram that symbolizes this sign, they usually charge headfirst into problems, hoping that if they apply enough force, they will eventually solve everything and break through every obstacle in front of them, even when those obstacles are people. They enjoy life’s tests and challenges, since they are very competitive by nature and at times may be overly combative. Routine quickly bores them, so they need to learn perseverance, as they are inclined to jump from one thing to another, always looking for something new. They should finish what they start before moving on.
To make constructive use of the beneficial influence of the ruling planet, Aries needs to train inner strength, decisiveness, and confidence.
The senior ruler Mars and the junior ruler Pluto rule Aries, so their influence is very important in the natal chart. Read more...
Ascendant Aspects:
MIDHEAVEN (MC)
Strength: 32.06
Harmony: 20.48

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 Capricorn z 05° - Ruler Saturn and Uranus
Rulers: Saturn and Uranus. A person with the MC in Capricorn has pronounced ambition, a desire to have weight and significance in society, and a wish to hold as high a position as possible. Material security, which gives them self-confidence, is also far from unimportant. Deep down, they dream of autonomy and independence, and for this they can wait a long time for their moment and endure a great deal.
This is the classic image of the careerist, yet no one has such a strong sense of duty and responsibility as Capricorn. Perhaps only Virgo can compare, but Virgo finds it harder to reach the heights because of constant worry, fussiness, panic, and fixation on details that sometimes prevent them from seeing the bigger picture.
Capricorn, however, is not prone to panic; on the contrary, difficulties only mobilize them. Still, they reach the heights rather slowly, but Capricorn never lacks patience and endurance. Once they set a goal, they do not retreat from it and sooner or later — usually later — they achieve it, typically in the second half of life or in its final third. Capricorns, that is, people with a strongly expressed Capricorn sign, most often hold leadership positions and are valued as high-class specialists. Read more...
Midheaven Aspects:
MOON
Strength: 32.38
Harmony: -25.89
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 17°
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 6th House
SIXTH HOUSE (House of service and health). MOON (planet of emotions and instincts) in the Sixth House: the native will probably change jobs often until they find something that truly suits them. Dissatisfaction with work may affect their health. They are predisposed to stomach problems. Strengths: intuition and imagination in professional activity. Weaknesses: inconsistency and reluctance to take responsibility.
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: 14.94
Harmony: 3.89
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 16°
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 12th House
TWELFTH HOUSE (House of secrets, sorrow, and self-sacrifice). MERCURY (planet of the mind) in the Twelfth House: the native is a contemplative, introspective, and perceptive thinker, inclined toward solitude or secrecy. They worry over small things and may be very shy. Strength: they could become a thoughtful researcher or detective. Weakness: slander affects them deeply.
Read more...
Mercury Aspects:
VENUS
Strength: 26.78
Harmony: -11.37
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 Pisces c 24°
The attachments of people born with Venus under the sign of Pisces are expressed through sympathy, compassion, gentleness, and a romantic mood. They give themselves selflessly to those they love and to those who need or ask for their help.
Read more...
R Venus in the 12th House
TWELFTH HOUSE (House of secrets, sorrow, and self-sacrifice). VENUS (planet of love and pleasure) in the Twelfth House: emotional and sensitive, the native is capable of giving true, selfless love. They are quite comfortable being somewhat removed from society. A secret romance is possible. Strengths: artistic and creative aspirations. Weakness: the risk of an unhappy marriage or sexual relationship.
Read more...
Venus Aspects:
MARS
Strength: 60.63
Harmony: -36.62
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 02°
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 5th House
FIFTH HOUSE (House of creation and sex). MARS (planet of energy and self-assertion) in the Fifth House: the native is hasty and impulsive in love affairs, and sometimes too impatient in sex. They have a competitive spirit in love, sports, and social life, and they need victories. Their charm attracts people to them. Strength: leadership potential. Weakness: conflicts with loved ones because of great pride.
Read more...
Mars Aspects:
JUPITER
Strength: 68.36
Harmony: 2.20
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 Scorpio k 05°
People born with Jupiter in Scorpio are effective and hardworking, with a talent for business and finance. They are resourceful and ready to do all the work necessary to complete the task.
Read more...
Y Jupiter in the 7th House
SEVENTH HOUSE - House of marriage and partnership. JUPITER (planet of luck and expansiveness) in the Seventh House: marriage and partnership bring the native success, influence, and prestige. Jupiter in the Seventh House often means more than one marriage, and one of the spouses may be powerful or wealthy. Over the course of life, the native’s opponents often become their friends, and conflicts tend to end in their favor. Strength: official partnerships prove fruitful. Weakness: excessive generosity and too much trust.
Read more...
Jupiter Aspects:
SATURN
Strength: 63.69
Harmony: -36.30
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 Sagittarius l 23°
The positive traits of people born with Saturn in Sagittarius include a sound mind and a desire to benefit all humanity through discipline, order, and the ability to help.
Read more...
U Saturn in the 9th House
NINTH HOUSE (House of exploration and education). SATURN (planet of discipline and limitations) in the Ninth House: the native is thoughtful and has a desire to learn. They take philosophy and religion seriously and study them in depth. Contacts with foreigners, especially older ones, bring them success. Strength: idealistic principles. Weakness: obstacles or limitations connected with study.
Read more...
Saturn Aspects:
URANUS
Strength: 39.23
Harmony: -0.53
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 8th House
EIGHTH HOUSE (House of life and death, rebirth, and inheritance). URANUS (planet of change and originality) in the Eighth House: the native has unusual views on life and death and may be interested in mysticism. Their sexual tastes and relationships may be unconventional. They may receive sudden income from unexpected sources. Strength: they feel responsible for other people. Weakness: the risk of losses in business dealings.
Read more...
Uranus Aspects:
NEPTUNE
Strength: 54.20
Harmony: -24.32
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: 32.34
Harmony: -11.26
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 2nd House
SECOND HOUSE (House of property). PLUTO (planet of transformation) in the Second House: the native is adventurous in earning money and is not afraid to take risks. They diversify their capital, and their sources of income may change throughout life. They are inclined to develop an obsessive fascination with property and money. Strengths: unique financial abilities, resourcefulness, ability to earn large profits from their work. Weaknesses: wastefulness, selfishness, dishonesty.
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 8th 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.
Here, Chiron can show itself from a rather unflattering side. It increases the native’s attraction to the opposite sex and to sexual experimentation, producing Don Juans and courtesans with a ruthless and unforgiving streak, people who seek only pleasure and gratification, care only about themselves, and try to satisfy only their own desires. However, there is another side to the coin. This position of Chiron may also give the native an interest in science, military service, criminology, and risky or even life-threatening ventures. With a strong psyche and certain unusual abilities, such as hypnosis or the gift of suggestion, these people often have power over others, including animals. For this reason, among them one may find not only surgeons, hypnologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists, but also trainers, animal tamers, fakirs, and illusionists. Many representatives of the arts are also found among them, especially musicians, vocalists, actors, and people interested in the occult sciences.

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 - a 26°
Strength: 168.10
Harmony: -34.60
1st House in Aries - Ruler of Mars and Pluto
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 Aries shows fiery drive and dazzling charisma, which are expressed in communication and professional preferences. This is a fighter and a leader, a person who understands from childhood how to win leading positions in the field that interests them. Impulsive and passionate, honest to the point of bluntness, the native cannot stand weakness or passivity in other people, and for this reason may be perceived as rude and defiant, even though they work tirelessly to achieve their goals. The native always presents their strongest side to the world, while hiding a loyal and loving heart.
The senior ruler Mars and the junior ruler Pluto rule Aries, and therefore their influence is especially important when analyzing the First House (Ascendant).
Read more...
2nd HOUSE - d 06°
Strength: 94.01
Harmony: -33.64
2nd House in Gemini - Ruler of Mercury
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.
Gemini belongs to the Air element and easily turns abstract ideas into money through work in fields related to communication: selling knowledge and information, teaching, helping with psychological issues, and immersing others in the world of entertainment as writers and bloggers. The word becomes a magnet for their good fortune.
Mercury rules Gemini, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Second House.
Read more...
3rd HOUSE - d 23°
Strength: 7.47
Harmony: 1.94
3rd House in Gemini - Ruler of Mercury
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.
For the fortunate native under Gemini’s patronage, communication and learning are a pleasure, as natural as breathing. They cannot stand loneliness. They are never bored, because the world is full of so many interesting things. However, at a lower level of development, there is a risk of getting caught up in gossip and intrigue.
Mercury rules Gemini, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Third House.
Read more...
4th HOUSE - f 05°
Strength: 16.19
Harmony: -12.95
4th House in Cancer - Ruler of Moon
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 mother and the home she creates are an entire universe for a person with the Fourth House in Cancer. They often miss important events in social life because their heart is in their native home, where loving parents are waiting.
The Moon rules Cancer, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Fourth House.
Read more...
5th HOUSE - f 20°
Strength: 76.82
Harmony: -49.56
5th House in Cancer - Ruler of Moon
The Fifth House is a House of life that carries the fiery energy of inspiration and the power of motivation. The warmth of this fire extends to others as well. For this reason, this House is considered the House of love that a person gives to others. The love given in connection with this House is not the affection associated with Venus in astrology, nor the sexual instincts related to Mars, but love that comes from the heart — the very quality that is the main characteristic of Leo.
The Fifth House in Cancer creates a loving and selfless parent, but unfortunately, dreams of an ideal family often remain only in the imagination, because the native’s standards are so high and they tend to see partners as heroes from films and books.
The Moon rules Cancer, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Fifth House.
Read more...
6th HOUSE - g 12°
Strength: 77.89
Harmony: -30.48
6th House in Leo - Ruler of Sun
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 cusp of the Sixth House in Leo forms an inspired and artistic attitude toward work and the body. Routine is hateful to the native, but it should be approached as a game, at the end of which they give themselves a pleasant reward. A person’s energetic uplift can help them recover even from a serious illness, while boredom and disappointment may lead to collapse.
The Sun rules Leo, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Sixth House.
Read more...
7th HOUSE - j 26°
Strength: 93.37
Harmony: -9.47
7th House in Libra - 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.
Love and marriage are the native’s main triggers, despite the predominance of mental energy and weak sensuality. The exception is Venus and Mars in fire and water signs. People with the Seventh House in Libra are always in love or searching for a suitable partner.
Venus rules Libra, and therefore its influence is especially important when analyzing the Seventh House.
Read more...
8th HOUSE - l 06°
Strength: 73.41
Harmony: 0.57
8th House in Sagittarius - Ruler of Jupiter and Neptune
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 Sagittarius are incurable optimists. They perceive the blows of fate as exciting adventures. In an astonishing way, Jupiter, the ruler of the sign, attracts a large number of dangerous trials, but at the same time makes sure that everything ends well, so the native may sometimes feel as if they are playing the leading role in a western.
The senior ruler Jupiter and the junior ruler Neptune rule Sagittarius, so their influence should be taken into account when analyzing the Eighth House.
Read more...
9th HOUSE - l 23°
Strength: 97.87
Harmony: -35.20
9th House in Sagittarius - Ruler of Jupiter and Neptune
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 comes under the influence of Sagittarius, this is partly a sign of success, since Jupiter is its natural patron. Knowledge comes to the person on its own; they are an incredibly interesting and versatile individual. The main thing is not to become conceited or present themselves as the foremost expert in the Universe, as this will inevitably lead to degradation.
The senior ruler Jupiter and the junior ruler Neptune rule Sagittarius, so their influence should be taken into account when analyzing the Ninth House.

10th HOUSE - z 05°

10th House in Capricorn - Ruler of Saturn and Uranus
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.
The calling of a person with the Tenth House in Capricorn is to be a respected and honored member of society. For this, they are ready to spend some time as a subordinate, fulfilling the demands of superiors and strengthening their reputation in order to rise upward later.
The senior ruler Saturn and the junior ruler Uranus rule Capricorn, so their influence should be taken into account when analyzing the Tenth House.

11th House in Capricorn - Ruler of Saturn and Uranus
The Eleventh House of joy and favorable opportunities, friends, and social activity shows where unexpected luck comes from and how a person can make a profit during a rapidly developing career. However, its main meaning is friendship and participation in collective projects, where the individual shows themselves either as a leader or as an obedient cog in the machine, depending on the nature of the sign on the cusp.
The Eleventh House in Capricorn indicates that for the person, friendship is not an empty word, but a core value on which they build relationships. This is strengthened by the Fifth House in Cancer, where deep sympathy immediately awakens kindred feelings.

12th House in Aquarius - Ruler of Uranus and Saturn
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.
People with the Twelfth House in Aquarius may play the role of a shadow leader in large organizations, exerting a certain influence on technical policy and the psychological climate, but they will do this not directly, but through others.
The senior ruler Uranus and the junior ruler Saturn rule Aquarius, and therefore their 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 Twelfth House
Here, the individual spends most of their time in Phase III of the retrograde process. In the absorbing, introspective vibration, they turn most of their thoughts inward in order to understand the inner nature of their existence. With this position, every conscious thought is karmic. Everything the individual perceives is a continuation of their past ideas about the interconnection of things, people, and circumstances in the universe. They are immersed in themselves and, on a personal level, become introverted. They are constantly thinking, replaying past conversations for days and weeks after they actually took place. In a certain sense, the individual experiences the pure essence of perception in its rawest form. This is very difficult for most individuals to cope with.
Their frequent disorientation in time and space knows no limits and extends beyond the boundaries of the current life, as well as the planet on which they now live. They may be mystically oriented, as they try to perceive the universe through themselves. Thus, they may experience in their life anything they allow themselves to think about. Truly, this is an individual who has become exactly what they thought themselves to be.
Other people almost always misunderstand them, because the Neptunian essence of their ideas becomes awkward when they try to express it to others during the absorbing, introverted Phase III of the retrograde process. They underestimate themselves, tending to withdraw from real life rather than express themselves freely outwardly. Some people with this position of retrograde Mercury have excellent musical abilities, since words often seem an inadequate means of expression, leading the individual into other creative spheres for expressing their thoughts. On the negative side, some people with this position may experience long periods of mental depression, during which they try to sort through the many thoughts absorbed from the formless universe. The individual must karmically understand themselves on the deepest levels.
To do this, they spend a great deal of time away from the outer world, whose events would prevent them from seeing the source of their inner existence. Thus, they avoid the lighter side of life and focus most of their attention on the deep mysteries encountered by their inner mind. They are a true scholar of the past and can become an excellent metaphysician when they direct their mental energy toward universal knowledge.
Retrograde Jupiter - Individuality
A native with retrograde Jupiter is a living truth unto themselves. Their ideas about right and wrong, about the morality of the world through which they travel, and about the honesty of other people’s opinions have little influence on what they feel within. In an attempt to be fair, this native develops their own unique set of standards. Usually, these standards are based on personal experiences from the beginning of this life, as well as on experiences from other incarnations, and they reflect not mass consciousness, but rather the native’s personally formed concept of the universe.
The native has a keen feel for different places and for how similar they are to one another. At the same time, they are aware of the different levels at which people think. Always studying the mind, they seek to experience an inner richness that they hope will ultimately equal the opportunities available to them in the outer world. This often creates dissatisfaction, which manifests as inner restlessness. They prefer to deal with things by grasping the essence of an idea and its significance, rather than the details required to bring that idea into reality.
If Jupiter is well-aspected, the native may have strong self-motivation, but they should be careful not to try to do too many things at once.
Essentially, they are free in spirit. And although they will adapt to the ideals of society when those ideals are useful to them, they constantly struggle to preserve their sense of individuality.
A native with this placement may possess great, almost prophetic wisdom. They can summarize the essence of long, complex, detailed projects in just a few words, while others might become lost in countless small details. The native can be conscientious. Their innate honesty with themselves is one of their most important defining traits. When retrograde Jupiter is poorly aspected, it may indicate ill will carried over from past incarnations. In such cases, a long-standing desire from the past to settle old scores is projected onto new people in the present. Fortunately, this is more the exception than the rule, since retrograde Jupiter gives the native an opportunity to see themselves through the higher mind, after which some of their personal attachments give way to a higher and more impartial understanding. The development of richness in the inner life ultimately takes precedence over the desire to acquire wealth in the outer world.
Retrograde Jupiter - Karma
The karma of retrograde Jupiter is always connected with introspection through the higher mind. The native must be able to justify themselves to themselves in order to feel truly worthy of the respect and honor that Jupiter promises.
In some past incarnation, the person placed great emphasis on the violation of a certain religious or spiritual principle. In the current life, they feel an even stronger determination to redefine the value of this principle in their own mind. They must be careful not to judge others when they see the outer world living by rules they cannot understand. They should be patient with other people if they expect others to listen to the expression of their inner truths.
On another level, the person has accumulated vast lived experience, which is characteristic of retrograde Jupiter. Times and places from the past all blend into a continuous present, so that at any given moment or in any given place, the native experiences that time or place in a generalized way, as though they were simultaneously present in all similar times and places they have ever known. Thus, their consciousness expands in both of these dimensions at once, often without limits. They do not know how to focus their mind on a clear point within themselves. Instead, they absorb the symbols of their thoughts from the surrounding environment, ultimately coming to realize that their home is everywhere, and that every time is the present!
The more these outer symbols correspond to the truth they came to know in a previous life, the more content they become.
Retrograde Jupiter in Scorpio
Here much time is spent in Phase One of the retrograde process, as the native tries to communicate what they consider to be truth to other people. However, this is the only sign in which the native also realizes that what they have accepted as truth is not their complete truth at all. Thus, they may project outwardly what they consider sufficiently complete, while at the same time experiencing a deeper understanding on another level.
They bring into this life memories of fighting for honor, and as they live through this karma, they become a standard for others in this area. They can bring out both the worst and the best in themselves and in others at the same time. This makes them paradoxical, as they are alternately understood and misunderstood, respected and humiliated, loved and despised because of everything they represent to other people. Their life is one constant transformation, as each day symbolizes new opportunities for a struggle that helps them rise above their lower self, which they now see, but which still binds them in the current life. Being a person of extreme views, they uphold both heaven and the underworld at once. Their ideals are usually very high, but during the first half of life, it is difficult for them to separate their higher mind from the intense sexual drive they have brought with them into this life.
On every level, they need to feel connected, because the depths they move toward are usually reached alone and are often completely misunderstood by others. They must have freedom in order to explore the unknown expanses of the universe that continue to call them.
Retrograde Jupiter in the Seventh House
This placement of retrograde Jupiter causes the native to spend a great deal of time seeing themselves through the eyes of other people. As a result, the person feels an impatient eagerness to please others, although they are not always sure what drives them to do this. They may spread themselves too thin while trying to gain the respect of those they admire, yet despite all these efforts, they know they still cannot please the whole world.
In past incarnations, they learned to uphold what they thought others would admire. Now they often feel that their sense of freedom depends too much on other people’s ideals. They never fully understand everything they know about life. The answers seem to slip past them as they try to read other people’s minds in order to understand their own truths. This person will argue more for the sake of upholding a principle that appears to be true on a universal level than out of a personal need to win. In this way, they may become excessively fair-minded.
By placing too much importance on the ideas that other people present to them, they constantly encounter people whose philosophical positions toward real life are opposite to their own. This native is going through the karmic lesson of learning that the differences between right and wrong exist, strictly speaking, in the eye of the beholder. As they come to understand this, they realize how fruitless it is to judge other people’s views or make decisions for them. If they are married, they are drawn to a partner who may also be excessively fair and virtuous. Therefore, on different levels at the same time, they learn to weigh the nature of truth through the many ways it is expressed from person to person in their life.
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 Sagittarius
Here the person’s life is built on past principles. This native is very independent and cannot be guided by other people’s advice.
At times, they may seem overly self-assured, but the force with which they express their ideas to other people does not reflect their actual commitment to them. Whatever cause, principle, or mission they support is constantly changing. They seem to embody the human need to move away from any traditions that appear to have outlived their usefulness. The true nature of this native does not emerge until midlife, after they have tried the traditional ways of living and found them too restrictive. They would rather be their own student than follow the instructions of other people who, as they feel, do not truly know what is best for them.
In many cases, they seem to grow younger with age. Eventually, they learn how to bring life back to what was once burdensome for them. They must not judge other people, so as not to create alienation. Overall, however, they try to be honest in their inner assessment of others.
They are living through the karma of learning how to allow their higher mind to understand and correct their past mistakes. Later in life, they do what they should have done when they were younger. Here the reverse effect of retrogradation is emphasized: the native lives in Phase Three of the retrograde process throughout most of adult life, as they discover that Phase Two, in which they tried to live during their younger years, does not satisfy them to the same degree that it satisfied their mentors.
Retrograde Saturn in the Ninth House
Here Saturn is in a special House, because it brings the native into contact with already formed parts of their higher nature. In many cases, the person brings into this incarnation a mature sense of wisdom that was developed in past incarnations. Regardless of their IQ, which they often feel could be different, they possess more wisdom than knowledge. However, the retrograde nature of the planet often causes them to doubt themselves and to search for understanding more intensely than they truly need to. But all of this happens only until they realize that all the effort they put into trying to think through solutions to problems is simply part of their training in how to stop overthinking. The moment they do this, they begin to notice that the answer has always been here!
For many people, this Saturn placement represents a long spiritual journey, at the end of which the native discovers self-respect before God. They begin this journey when they try to read every book, attend every lecture, and grasp literally every higher thought in the hope that, through the obvious possession of much knowledge, they will find what they are looking for. In the end, most of the knowledge will come to them through more natural means. If they attempt astral projection, they will realize that their astral body is rather heavy and tends to disturb others unless the projection is extremely gentle.
Karmically, they are a seeker of the highest order and continue in this life the mission they began before. They experience all the retrograde phases as they continue to form the essence of their philosophical and spiritual beliefs, thereby transforming their collection of opinions into a very real sense of knowing.
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 Sagittarius
Here the native spends most of their time in Phase One of the retrograde process. Striving toward distant horizons beyond their reach, the person is drawn to everything that symbolizes what lies beyond earthly life. Essentially, it is difficult for them to stabilize themselves in their practical everyday life. They cannot concentrate on small tasks or details for any long period of time, because they quickly become bored. They need constant new stimulation in order to satisfy their very active thirst for life.
They love to travel, and if they do not do so physically, their mind wanders through all the unknown realms they have not yet explored. Nevertheless, they are not necessarily a deep person; rather, they seek breadth and wide-open space. This is a rather difficult placement for marriage, because the native feels threatened when they are restricted. They need space to explore all the possibilities they discover in their higher mind, and any attachment to one person deprives them of the advantage of sampling many things superficially.
The same attitude carries over into most areas of their life. Devotion to one religion would violate the Uranian need to be fair to others, combined with Sagittarius’s urge to experience them all. For the same reason, they experience changes in career.
All of this may seem to indicate that, from the standpoint of other people’s values, they are very scattered. But they see it as satisfying an insatiable curiosity to experience everything in life, and when they are allowed to follow all their many directions, which do not always seem connected to one another, they are able to maintain a very high level of enthusiasm.
This gives them the ability to be a karmic messenger, bringing to everyone they meet the piece of life that person needs at that moment. Thus, while they take pleasure in each new discovery, they are actually spreading seeds that others will tend, nourish, and help grow into what will become the future consciousness of humanity.
Retrograde Uranus in the Eighth House
Here the native experiences changes in other people’s values. Personal attachments to friends and loved ones are not easy, because the constant transmutation of ideals makes lasting security difficult. Although great awareness is gained through studying other people, the person finds it difficult to hold on to those who provide this information. During the first half of life, unusual sexual experiences occur, which ultimately serve as a learning tool, leading the native toward a higher sexual consciousness. Some people with this placement experience painful sexual encounters, as well as periods of celibacy.
There is always tremendous depth of understanding here, relating to many different areas of life. This makes the person interesting to other people. But they must learn to express their ideas openly and tactfully. The karma here is to understand the independent values of others, so that they can learn how to give other people their own psychic space. In past lives, they undoubtedly experienced periods during which they were overly possessive. In the current life, this placement balances that tendency in the rest of the horoscope. The introspective qualities of the Eighth House, together with some of the asexual tendencies of retrograde Uranus, sometimes create a hermit-like existence. This allows the person to learn a great deal about their priorities.
The retrograde phases expressed here usually depend on the other people in the native’s life, as well as on the sign on the cusp of the Eighth House. Otherwise, the native experiences the Phase One tendencies of retrograde Uranus together with the Phase Two qualities of the Eighth House. Thus, the sign and the external factors in their life combine to make them resonate with one particular phase at any given moment.
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 Capricorn, South Node in Cancer
A person with the North Node in Capricorn is advised to cultivate purposefulness, diligence, and the ability to achieve their goals despite obstacles. The South Node in Cancer, symbolizing past patterns, may incline them toward overly emotional behavior, withdrawal into their inner world, and focus on personal needs. Meanwhile, they need to come out of the shell where they feel comfort, coziness, and peace.
The person will fulfill their karmic task only when they reach certain heights in their chosen field, whether politics, science, mathematics, creativity, architecture, or something else.

North Node in the Ninth House - South Node in the Third House. Karma of Wanderings
The North Node in the Ninth House indicates that throughout life, the native needs to constantly expand their horizons. They should not confine themselves to their usual circle of acquaintances. Knowing obvious truths will not make it possible to achieve a breakthrough. In order to move closer to their life purpose, they need to receive higher education, travel as much as possible, engage in creativity, including intellectual creativity, and communicate with representatives of many different cultures.
A philosophical view of the world and numerous achievements in science, sports, religion, politics, art, entrepreneurship, and other fields will allow them to begin educational and journalistic work.
A person who acts in accordance with their karmic task may experience joy and good fortune while abroad. If they commit serious misdeeds, they may face accusations directed at them and legal proceedings.

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 Cancer
When Selena falls in the sign of Cancer, she endows her ward with emotional softness and warmth, as well as the desire to bless the sick and suffering with parental tenderness and support. This is evidence of bright karma from the past.
Astrologers believe that in a previous incarnation, the native selflessly cared for relatives and young children, and may even have died protecting them or the sacred treasures of the homeland. Therefore, now they are born into a loving family and can easily bring their dreams to life in their native country. The White Moon in Cancer tests loyalty to ideals every seven years, and if the person has caused pain to loved ones and chosen a selfish path of development, then a split in the family and forced emigration may await them.

Selena in the 4th House
Selena in the Fourth sector symbolizes the support of the mother as the embodiment of an earthly guardian angel, as well as the sacred radiance of the family hearth. If she is located in the first third of the House, the native is protected by the entire maternal family line. Ancestors may appear in dreams and give answers to pressing questions. One of the best and strongest positions of the White Moon also implies a high spiritual mission connected with protecting the traditions of one’s native country, but in order to fulfill it, the person needs to understand the specifics of interacting with the power of ancestral karma.
To achieve success, people with the White Moon in the Fourth House need to develop the talents and abilities that existed in their family line and were passed down to them genetically.

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 Leo
With Lilith in the sign of Leo, sensuality and sexuality can be sublimated, if not into spiritual strength, then into creative energy, whose application the person may find in art, especially cinema, theater, and music. Sports activities are also beneficial. Temptations can be resisted by a strong, purposeful will, which is capable of controlling sensuality and supports a conscious refusal of the role of seducer. It is considered together with the positions of the Sun, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, retrograde Mars, and the Fifth House of the horoscope.
Read more...
Lilith in the 5th House
Here Lilith indicates that negative Karma will extend to children and future descendants. With this position of Lilith, from an early age the person is drawn to corrupt pleasures, sex, and perversion, which can lead to sybaritism, prostitution, and an immoral way of life with all the consequences that follow. In women, this may indicate infertility due to an accident, an unsuccessful abortion, or miscarriage; in more severe cases, the death of a child. In men, it manifests as an immoral way of life and points to extramarital love intrigues, casual fleeting affairs, or children born outside marriage.
Now the person is required to show a noble attitude not only toward partners, but also toward children, including those born outside marriage. They must help them materially and spiritually, give them an education, and provide them with a worthy upbringing. This placement also requires a sober assessment and careful analysis of professional problems, as well as strict control over private life.

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 Sagittarius
Here, in order to achieve success, the Part of Fortune requires from those under its influence energy, independence, and self-reliance. Trips to distant countries and contacts with foreigners may be successful, as may scientific and educational expeditions. Missionary strength and a close connection with representatives of the church and spiritual teachers are necessary. Nobility, generosity, goodwill, honesty, decency, and fairness form the foundation of life success. A will or inheritance is possible, as is income from public, religious, or missionary activity, public service, or church service.
Activity devoted to science, research work, pedagogy, philology, and jurisprudence may be successful. Success is also possible in medicine, especially as a veterinarian or surgeon. Dog breeding, horse breeding, fur farming, or fisheries bring good income. Public service or political activity is especially favorable. The person can also find themselves in the sports arena or as a publisher.
If afflicted, there is a tendency toward exaggeration and a desire to create only a favorable opinion of oneself. The person’s own tongue becomes their enemy, along with hasty, ill-considered decisions and rash actions.
Historical figures with the Part of Fortune in Sagittarius: George V, Crown Prince Rudolf, Cecil Rhodes, John Ned Backry, George Sand, Charles Baudelaire.

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 |
|---|---|
| l Sagittarius | 171 |
| g Leo | 102 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (12 Signs) | 883 |
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 |
|---|---|
| Q Sun | 83 |
| Y Jupiter | 68 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Planets) | 555 |
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 | 168 |
| Ninth House | 97 |
| ------ | ------ |
| TOTAL (all Houses) | 883 |
