Planets in the 8th house [07 Jan 2010|03:11pm] astrology [sodalisque] [ mood | cold ] [ music | Atlas Sound ] Hey everyone-- beginner here. I've been looking at my chart, and lately I've been curious about the 8th house. I have Venus, Pluto and Lilith in my 8th house... Considering it's the house of sex, death, money and secrets, I'm a little concerned. In the past, I had been abused (in childhood and in a past relationship). I'm now a passionate activist against sexual and domestic violence, which is what I think the Lilith in my 8th is referring to. I feel like my activism has been the best form of healing. However, in every relationship I have, there is an element of a power struggle, and I am never really trusting. Yet, another interesting facet of my chart is that I have four of my inner planets in the 7th house... meaning that partnerships are the most major element in my life. And yet, after several attempts at relationships, I can never seem to commit, much less feel like I belong to someone. Coupled with the combo of Venus-Pluto-Lilith in my chart, does this abundance in 7th house action mean that my marriage (if applicable) would be a dark and secretive relationship, based in an unequal power balance? Are there any other indicators in my chart of relationship issues? Thanks, everyone. ( Chart under the cut ) post comment

[05 Jan 2010|02:33pm] astrology [fitxy] What role do these play in a relationship... 7th house cusp Ascendant Juno ...as far as compatibility? Say your ascendants were not compatible, but your H7 signs were, or something? I have totally, totally clicked with someone that astrologically, I'm not supposed to. Virgo/Virgo/Scorpio + Aquarius/Sagittarius/Capricorn...7th house cusps in Taurus and Cancer, Venus in Virgo and Aquarius, respectively. 18 judge me post comment

[05 Jan 2010|11:02am] astrology [bricktopfanchy] Holy crap! I'm engaged. I've been reading all this "don't make commitment" until after the retrograde stuff..but how could I say no?? He asked New Years Eve. Anyways, I know I shouldn't freak out and analyze every bit of astrology related to it, but I am very interested in what our charts show about us. What would be the best chart to draw up to shine a light on our engagement/marriage? I'll post our synastry chart just in case you all have any advice based on that! thanks!! -Tracy ( synastry chart ) 2 judge me post comment

elements and myers-briggs [03 Jan 2010|04:56pm] astrology [afro_dyte] MBTI has been an interest of mine for some time, and while it would be interesting to note correlations between MBTI types and astrological elements, that is not the point of my post. Something that makes MBTI particularly interesting is how layered the types can be. Rather than resting on simplistic characterizations, MBTI digs a bit deeper. David Keirsey's Please Understand Me II is quite fascinating in this regard, linking specific types to particular elements (go here for more information about the types in Keirseys' Temperament Sorter). For instance, having a Thinking preference doesn't mean a person lacks emotions - just that emotions are not initially prioritized. Is this something that we could use more of in astrology? In the absence of a full reading of a person's chart, is it more beneficial to use elements as a way of describing the sequence of how people process information and experiences? Rather than describing certain elemental traits as a quantity (how many thoughts, how much emotion, etc.), what about showing them as different dimensions of the human experience that are accessed in a certain order? I would imagine that an individual's personal sequence would depend upon the prevalence of each of the elements. But without having that information handy, would it be more helpful to understand the elements this way? For instance (going from the fire-earth-air-water cycle of elements), earth could experience things first through the senses (earth), then intellect (air), followed by emotions (water), and finally with energy (fire). I'm not putting this forth as something concrete I actually believe, just as a way of showing the process Am I getting the basic idea across? 16 judge me post comment

Retrogrades [03 Jan 2010|12:47am] astrology [jumper24] I was wondering how much stock should one put into retorgrades? I was just looking at mine and my boyfriend's natal chart and was quite suprised by the amount of planet's were in retrograde with him compared to mine. He has 5 planet and the true node ( didn't know that could be retrograde. While myself only have 2 planets. So I was wondering does this affect anything? And if so is it a heavy influence? So what do you guys think? post comment

interaction between signs occupying house of rulership [02 Jan 2010|03:17am] astrology [afro_dyte] [ mood | curious ] Just a thought bubble that came up while I was almost asleep. Is there something special about the interplay between two signs (speaking of energies here, not specific planet placements) where one sign "lives" in the house another one "rules"? Consider the following combinations: Aries-Aries Taurus-Gemini Gemini-Leo Cancer-Libra Leo-Sagittarius Virgo-Aquarius Libra-Aries Scorpio-Gemini Sagittarius-Leo Capricorn-Libra Aquarius-Sagittarius Pisces-Aquarius Whether in an individual chart or in synastry, I have a feeling there's something especially intriguing underfoot here, but I can't put my finger on it. 3 judge me post comment

Who's on top? [29 Dec 2009|12:23pm] astrology [crisseh] [ mood | curious ] In my synastry studies, I've stumbled on a bit that said it is traditionally better for the man's Sun to conjunct the woman's Moon in a Sun/Moon conjunction, in order to keep the woman from being more dominant. Ah, sexism. Does anyone know if a similar view is traditionally held for Venus/Mars conjunctions in synastry? What is your general take on a Venus/Mars conjunction in synastry when its the woman's Mars conjuncting the man's Venus? Remembered I had this with my current boyfriend and I know its a great thing to have, just wondered what other implications might be behind it. 12 judge me post comment

[29 Dec 2009|07:06am] astrology [cynnastix] Hi.. In the past, relationships really have not went well for me. Are there any aspects in my chart that show what the cause may be? I know there are several factors, but I wanted to know if there is a stubborn aspect that wasn't quite working to my benefit. ( my chart ) 7 judge me post comment

understanding aspect patterns [28 Dec 2009|12:28am] astrology [catalinaormand] I have a grand cross and a mystic rectangle in my chart, and i'm at a loss on how to interpret it all. The grand cross is between Mars in Taurus, Mercury in Leo, Pluto in Scorpio, and Saturn in Aquarius. The mystic rectangle is between Mars in Taurus, Sun in Cancer, Pluto in Scorpio, and Uranus conj. Neptune in Capricorn. My understanding is that balance is key to making both patterns work, but i still have absolutely no idea of how exactly to work with them or how they work period. So i guess if someone could explain even a portion of this (past the fixed-grand-cross type of thing), that would be lovely. Thanks in advance. :) Here's my chart. 2 judge me post comment

Question about "sex journals" [27 Dec 2009|02:27pm] sex_column [angelscry09] So I have a question. Is it wrong to be married to someone who you absolutely love and have sexual stories and create a journal just as an outlet and not tell your partner because frankly......it's not thier thing nor is it something you want in real life? Basically just wanting to be able to release random sexual stories because you enjoy writing and having that outlet. 3 judge me post comment

observations of familial vs. romantic synastry [27 Dec 2009|04:47am] astrology [afro_dyte] I was doing some synastry research, and I hit a brick wall when it came to finding things beyond generic compatibility based on particular planets in particular signs. The vast majority of the time, rather than finding empowering possibilities, I kept running into "predictions" that are, in essence, Made In Heaven or Doomed To Fail. Again, as I mentioned in my previous post, too much of what I found focused on generic personality traits rather than the core natures of the signs involved. In this particular case, I'd been researching Gemini-Scorpio interactions, and I grew weary of the same sorts of things being said. The vast majority of it was insultingly stereotypical and amounted to advising either the Gemini or the Scorpio to run while they still can. (To make something clear: I'm not basing this purely on Sun signs - I'm talking about an overall influence of a particular sign). For weeks, I kept running into this problem. I'm not sure what prompted me to look up familial interactions, particularly a Scorpio parent with a Gemini child. But what I found was most interesting. Instead of pat pop astrology compatibility, the things said about this relationship went deeper. Rather than telling people how a relationship is destined to turn out or telling them what to do, it was easier for me to find interpretations that addressed what these two signs can mean to each other in the context of a close relationship. I came across treasures like this and this. Although I didn't necessarily agree with specific elements of those assessments, I was far more satisfied with them than how I'd been with descriptions of Gemini-Scorpio romances. I wonder why that is. And why don't we see more of it in romantic synastry? 6 judge me post comment
