5. Chart Topology
Planets East and West
The planets in your chart are balanced on the two (East and West) sides of your chart. Your life’s course tends to be a mix of both molding and being molded by circumstances.
Planets Above and Below the Horizon
The line formed by the Ascendant and Descendant (opposite the Ascendant) divide the astrological chart in half, where planets and houses above the line are above the horizon and vice versa. The higher, or more elevated, a planet in the chart, the more publicity it gets. Planets below the horizon are more private and relate to activities in the life that are generally hidden from public view.
The planets in your chart are primarily below the horizon, and are related generally to private and personal matters that get little public attention.
6. Indicators of General Temperament and Disposition
The following analysis shows the distribution of the planets among the various elements and qualities of the zodiacal signs, which provides excellent indicators of general temperament and disposition.
(In the analysis below, note that the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mercury and the Dominant Planet carry more weight in a sign, triplicity or quadruplicity than the other planets and may override a ranking by astrodynes.)
Distribution of Your Planets Among the Triplicities (Elements): Fire, Earth, Air and Water Signs
| Element | Sign | Planets in Sign | Element Power* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire signs: | Sagittarius | Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars | 433.70 |
| Earth signs: | Taurus | Saturn, Neptune, Pluto | 334.98 |
| Virgo | Uranus, MC | ||
| Capricorn | Moon | ||
| Air signs: | Gemini | Jupiter | 150.57 |
| Water signs: | Scorpio | Asc | 119.81 |
The distribution of planets in your chart among the four elements shows a preponderance of Fire (Sun, Dominant Planet, Mercury, 2 other Planets) and Earth (Moon, 4 other Planets, MC) but with little Water (Asc) or Air (1 Planet). With lots of Fire and Earth, both following descriptions apply to a certain extent. The power you have in Fire signs indicates INSPIRATION and shows you to be enthusiastic, optimistic and self-reliant. The power you have in Earth signs indicates PRACTICALITY and shows you to be down to earth, sensible, industrious and practical. With very little Water or Air, try to cultivate sympathy and kindly emotions and try to cultivate an increased interest in mental activities and intellectual ideas.
Distribution of Your Planets Among the Quadruplicities or Qualities: Movable (Cardinal), Fixed and Mutable Signs
The zodiacal signs fall into three types: Movable (Cardinal), Mutable and Fixed. The three types are known as the Quadruplicities (there are four signs in each type) or the Qualities. (See appendix.) The distribution of the planets in your chart among the three types determines your level of adaptability, and is a key determinant of temperament.
| Quality | Sign | Planets in Sign | Quality Power* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Movable signs: | Capricorn | Moon | 183.78 |
| Fixed signs: | Taurus | Saturn, Neptune, Pluto | 275.68 |
| Scorpio | Asc | ||
| Mutable signs: | Gemini | Jupiter | 579.60 |
| Virgo | Uranus, MC | ||
| Sagittarius | Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars |
The distribution of planets in your chart among the three Qualities shows lots of power in Mutable signs (Sun, Dominant Planet, Mercury, 4 other Planets, MC) but with some activity in Fixed signs (Asc, 3 other Planets). There is little power in the Movable (Moon) signs. Many planets in Mutable signs indicates power to adapt to whatever environment is present. The Mutable signs are a happy medium between the excessive activity of the Movable (cardinal) signs and the stubborn resistance of the Fixed signs. You’re not a trail-blazer, but rather a trail-builder. Mutable people are the most adaptable of all. They are the DEVELOPERS. You also have some of the qualities of the Fixed signs such as determination. With very little power in Movable signs, look for ways to exercise initiative.
7. Personal – Companionship – Public
The Houses, or departments of life, are naturally grouped into three categories or domains: Personal, Companionship and Public. This is a good indicator of where your interests, desires and energy naturally incline. This can be especially helpful in analyzing close personal relationships like marriage, where partners interests are largely focused in different domains, e. g., public or personal vs companionship. Cultural gender differences can also ameliorate or exacerbate diverging interests and desires.
| Category | Pow | Harm | Points | Assessment | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal | 495.16 | -55.83 | 20 | Lots | Sun, Dominant Planet, Moon, Mercury, Asc, 2 other Planets, 5 astrodyne points |
| Companionship | 262.42 | -48.99 | 6 | LittleOrNone | 3 Planets, 3 astrodyne points |
| Public | 281.47 | -15.16 | 6 | LittleOrNone | 2 Planets, MC, 3 astrodyne points |
The distribution of planets in your chart among the three Societies shows that most of your energy, thought and activity involve the Personal houses (departments of life). The Personal houses (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 12th) map feelings and desires that relate to the private life including personal and health matters, personal wealth and possessions, personal interests, siblings and personal restrictions and disappointments. Little planetary power in the Public or Companionship departments of life indicates less interest in activities that are widely known or the strength of the desires to associate with others through home, children, work and partnership.
8. Astrodyne Analysis
Through Astrodyne analysis one can analyze the power and harmony of the planets, signs and houses in your chart. The objective of this analysis is to indicate which areas will bring the most benefit into the life and which areas need work. Subsequent sections will explore in more detail the various departments of life (The Houses) and associated key aspects between planets. Below you will find the Astrodyne Table for your chart followed by an analysis of the best, worst and most powerful planets, houses and signs.
The astrodyne table, immediately below, analyzes the power and harmony of each planet, house and sign in your chart. The columns show (1) object name, the absolute astrodyne (2) power and (3) harmony, the Zscores indicating (4) relative power and (5) harmony, and the corresponding qualitative assessment of the relative (6) power and (7) harmony of each element in the chart based on the Zscores. Assessing a relative qualitative score is important because absolute values can be somewhat misleading and there are no “population” statistics from which to judge absolute power and harmony. An asterisk “*” in the power or harmony Zscore columns indicates that the value is an “outlier” which skews the distribution, in which case it is removed and the Zscores recomputed to provide a more accurate picture.
The tables below are a reference summary. The planets, houses and signs, and their influence on you character and fortune, are described throughout the report.

Your Best Planet, House and Sign
Best Planet
The most harmonious planet in your chart is Venus, which maps your Social Urges, and is in your 1st House. Venus is weak and less active relative to the other planets in your chart. Your Venus is in the sign Sagittarius, which gives it a(n) bright, enthusiastic and generous nature. Being in the 1st House, it expresses through activities related to personality, physical body, physical appearance and demeanor, quality of the personal magnetism, personal prowess, personal matters and general health.
Venus is prominent in your chart due to being in an angular house and its close aspect to the Sun, even though weak by astrodyne power relative to the rest of your chart. To take advantage of the harmony, build up the power of Venus in your chart through activities relating to social activities, decor, art of all kinds, dancing, wearing apparel, confectionary, pastry, toiletries, jewelry, people of a social turn, and music and harmonious thoughts relating to affection, friendship, beauty, art, mirth, conjugality, or cohabitation.
Best House (Department of Life)
The most harmonious House (Department of Life) in your chart is the 2nd House, which maps life activities relating to money, possessions and personal resources. The 2nd House has 9.73 harmodynes, is very harmonious and contains one planet: the Moon. See the section below on Analysis of Each Department of Life (The Houses) for an explanation of the effect of this planet on the affairs of the 2nd House.
The 2nd house has 54.10 astrodynes of power and is of average power relative to the other houses in your chart and thus has enough power to benefit your life.
Best Sign
The most harmonious zodiacal sign in your chart is Libra, which is on the cusp of your 11th and 12th Houses, due to this sign’s ruler Venus, which is in the 1st House. Venus is your best planet. The following table displays correspondences for the sign Libra from which you may benefit by association.
| Category | Correspondence |
|---|---|
| Nature | congenial, artistic and refined |
| Association | balance, marriage, partnership |
| Letter | Egyptian, Gomer; Hebrew, Gimel; Latin, G |
| Number | III, 3 |
| Color | lighter shades of yellow |
| Tone | high E |
| Human Function | sense of feeling |
| Remedy | such herbs as white rose, strawberry, violet, water-cress, primrose, heartsease, balm, pansy and lemon-thyme |
| Mineral | the talismanic gem, diamond; and such stones as white quartz, white spar and white marble |
Your Worst Planet, House and Sign
Worst Planet
The most discordant planet in you chart is Mars, which maps your Aggressive Urges, and is in your 1st House relating to personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics. Mars is powerful relative to the other planets in your chart. With your Mars in Sagittarius, your assertiveness and creativity are bright, enthusiastic and generous, especially relating to personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics.
The natural antidote for a discordant Mars is the application of Moon (Domestic Urges) thoughts and emotions such as care and nurturing of the young, providing for the helpless, weak and needy, making the domestic life more enjoyable for those in the home, and taking care of their needs, especially in relation to 1st House activities including personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics.
Worst House (Department of Life)
The most discordant House in your chart is the 1st House, which governs the department of life relating to personality, physical body, physical appearance and demeanor, quality of the personal magnetism, personal prowess, personal matters and general health. The 1st house has 378.91 astrodynes of power and is the most powerful house in the chart. The 1st House has -55.70 discordynes and contains four planets: Venus, Mercury, Mars and the Sun. The Sun is your Dominant Planet, which is described in more detail in the Dominant Planet section above. Mars is also your Worst Planet, which is described in the “Worst Planet” section. Venus is also your Best Planet, which is described in the “Best Planet” section. See the section below on Analysis of Each Department of Life (The Houses) for an explanation of the effect of these planets on the affairs of the 1st House.
Worst Sign
The most discordant zodiacal Sign in you chart is Taurus, which is on the cusp of your 7th House. The sign Taurus has 153.81 astrodynes of power and is powerful relative to the other signs in your chart. It has -27.37 discordynes and contains Saturn, Neptune and Pluto.
Your Most Powerful Planet, House and Sign
Most Powerful Planet
The most powerful planet in your chart is the Sun, which is generally referred to as your Dominant Planet. The Sun is in your 1st House relating to personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics, and is mildly discordant relative to the other planets in your chart. See the discussion of you Dominant Planet above.
Most Powerful House (Department of Life)
The most powerful house (Department of Life) in your chart is the 1st House relating to personality, physical body, physical appearance and demeanor, quality of the personal magnetism, personal prowess, personal matters and general health. The 1st House is also the most discordant house in your chart, and contains Venus, Mercury, Mars and the Sun. See the section below on Analysis of Each Department of Life (The Houses) for a detailed discussion of this house.
Most Powerful Sign
The most powerful zodiacal sign in your chart is Sagittarius. Sagittarius is on the cusp of your 2nd House, is discordant relative to the other signs in your chart, and contains the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars. See discussion of Sagittarius in the Sun Sign section of “Your Key Chart Points and General Characteristics” above.
Best, Worst and Most Powerful Chart Aspects
The following sections describe the most significant aspects between the planets in the chart. (See the Glossary in the Appendix for more on Aspects and how they express.)
Most Powerful Aspect in the Chart
The most powerful aspect in the chart is Sun Conjunction Mars. At -3.65 discordynes, this aspect is mildly discordant. The Sun is in the 1st House relating to personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics. Mars is also in the 1st. This conjunction aspect shows that this area of life experiences a powerful association. The aspect shows the vitality, authority and the relations with men influence, and are influenced by assertiveness, combativeness, amativeness and expenditure of energy. This conjunction aspect indicates a powerful association between these factors showing good vitality, strife with or over authority, and, to the extent that the aspect is powerful, a tendency to rashness and accident are shown.
Best Aspect in the Chart
The most harmonious zodiacal aspect in the chart is Moon Trine Neptune. At 14.60 astrodynes, this aspect is very powerful. The Moon is in the 2nd House relating to money and possessions. Neptune is in the 6th House relating to work, coworkers and subordinates and/or illness and the infirm. This very harmonious trine aspect shows that these two areas of life experience cooperation to bring good luck. The aspect shows the mental attitude, domestic life and everyday affairs influence, and are influenced by, idealism, the imagination, sensitivity and schemes. This very harmonious trine aspect indicates these factors work harmoniously together showing benefit from schemes, psychic impressions and women.
The most harmonious parallel aspect in the chart is Sun Parallel Jupiter. Since this aspect is also the most powerful parallel aspect in the chart, it is of great benefit. See discussion of Most Powerful aspect above.
Worst Aspect in the Chart
The most discordant aspect in the chart is Saturn Opposition Ascendant. At 11.95 astrodynes, this aspect is powerful. Saturn is in the 7th House relating to marriage and partnership. The Ascendant is on the cusp of the 1st House that relates to the effect on the personality, health and personal affairs from the aspects made to it, which, in this case, is the Opposition aspect from Saturn. This discordant opposition aspect shows that these two areas of life experience a painful separation, are mutually exclusive, and force a choice between one or the other. The aspect shows work, responsibility, and economy or loss influence, and are influenced by, the personality, physical body and health. This discordant opposition aspect indicates these factors negatively affect each other showing a cool, cautious personality but overwork, increased responsibility, and the need for economy have negative impact on the personality and health. Pleasant thoughts of significance and self-esteem along with pleasant thoughts of affection and a harmonious social life need to be substituted for worry and anxiety.
9. Special Chart Configurations
The following paragraphs identify planetary configurations in your chart that are of special interest.
T-Square
Configuration 1 is a T-Square where:
There is an OPPOSITION aspect between Jupiter in the 8th House and Sun (À), Mercury and Mars in the 1st House with Uranus in the 10th House SQUARE both opposition planets forming a “T”.
The total power of this configuration is 86.85 astrodynes, consists of 10 aspects in total and maps a powerful influence in the life.
This is a discordant configuration referred to as a T-Square, where two planets oppose each other (OPPOSITION aspect) and a third planet forms a SQUARE aspect to both planets in the opposition.
This configuration in your chart involves the planets Jupiter, Uranus, Sun, Mercury and Mars, which govern:
- thoughts and feelings of abundance, optimism, goodwill, benevolence, veneration, hope or devotion (Jupiter)
- vitality, significance, self-esteem and authority (Sun) and your mental interests, the facility and accuracy of expression and the type and intensity of thoughts (Mercury) and your behavior relating to construction, destruction, initiative, aggression, combat and amativeness (Mars)
- independence, originality, inventiveness, unorthodox ideas and sudden events (Uranus)
The departments of life involved in this discordant configuration, indicated by the house positions of the planets involved, are:
- partner’s money, fiduciary responsibilities and inheritance (8th House)
- personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics (1st House)
- career, credit, reputation and mother (10th House)
(See the more detailed discussion of each house in the “Analysis for Each Department of Life” section below.)
The Opposition Aspect
The planets in OPPOSITION are Jupiter opposing Sun, Mercury and Mars affecting the 8th House and 1st House. Though not as violent as the Square aspect, because of its persistence and power, the Opposition aspect is usually considered the worst aspect. The energies of the planets oppose one another, forcing you to make a choice between the two areas of life (houses) involved in the opposition. This constant struggle between the opposing planets develops slowly and unrelentingly.
In your chart, this means the thoughts and feelings of abundance, optimism, goodwill, benevolence, veneration, hope or devotion (Jupiter) expressing through partner’s money, fiduciary responsibilities and inheritance (8th House) are in direct conflict with the vitality, significance, self-esteem and authority (Sun) and your mental interests, the facility and accuracy of expression and the type and intensity of thoughts (Mercury) and your behavior relating to construction, destruction, initiative, aggression, combat and amativeness (Mars) expressing through personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics (1st House), forcing you to choose one or the other. The result is that the qualities of these planets, in this case the Jupiter opposing Sun, Mercury and Mars, are brought into great prominence. Your greatest potential abilities are mapped by oppositions. Many highly successful people have oppositions in their birth charts that they must overcome.
The Two Square Aspects
The two Square aspects in this configuration are:
Uranus mapping the independence, originality, inventiveness, unorthodox ideas and sudden events in your 10th House relating to career, credit, reputation and mother SQUARES BOTH
Jupiter mapping the thoughts and feelings of abundance, optimism, goodwill, benevolence, veneration, hope or devotion in the 8th House ruling partner’s money, fiduciary responsibilities and inheritance AND
Sun, Mercury and Mars mapping the vitality, significance, self-esteem and authority and your mental interests, the facility and accuracy of expression and the type and intensity of thoughts and your behavior relating to construction, destruction, initiative, aggression, combat and amativeness in the 1st House ruling personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics
The Square aspect acts abruptly, brings acute crises, and temporary periods of struggle between the things signified by the two planets and the houses they occupy. It signifies positive lack of adaptation to environment, and consequent conflict.
Discordant aspects force you to overcome OBSTACLES (Square aspects) and SEPARATION (opposition aspects), and thereby build powerful mental and emotional muscle that provide the strength and energy required for outstanding achievement.
Opposition Drain
Configuration 2 is an Opposition Drain where:
Uranus in the 10th House act as a harmonious conciliating “drain” to the OPPOSITION between Saturn, Neptune and Pluto in the 7th and 6th Houses and Ascendant in the 1st House with Uranus TRINE Saturn, Neptune and Pluto and SEXTILE Ascendant.
The total power of this configuration is 54.68 astrodynes, consists of 9 aspects in total and maps a powerful influence in the life.
This is a planetary configuration referred to as an Opposition Drain because there is a planet which act as a harmonious conciliatory factor between two planets making a discordant Opposition aspect. This configuration indicates an especially potent and harmonious source of Rallying Forces (see Glossary in Appendix) because the conciliating planet breaks up the Opposition aspect between the other two planets by making a harmonious Sextile aspect to one and a very harmonious Trine aspect to the other. The Opposition maps an aerial which picks up planetary energy loaded with separative static. But such an Opposition also maps at each terminal, thought cells into which have been built a tremendous amount of energy. This energy, from both groups of thought cells at the ends of the opposition, is tapped harmoniously by the group of thought cells mapped by the planet making the Sextile and the Trine.
The Opposition Aspect
The planets in opposition are Saturn, Neptune and Pluto opposing Ascendant affecting the 7th and 6th Houses and 1st House.
In your chart, this means the behavior relating to system, organization, hard work, responsibility, the need for economy, or loss (Saturn) and your imagination, increased sensitivity, psychic impressions, fantasy thinking, romance, apprehension, idealistic visions or schemes (Neptune) and your spirituality, groups, coercion, cooperation, subtle forces, drastic events or thoughts of universal welfare (Pluto) expressing through marriage and partnership (7th House) and work, coworkers and subordinates and/or illness and the infirm (6th House) are in direct conflict with the health, the personality, and personal affairs (Ascendant) expressing through personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics (1st House) forcing you to choose one or the other.
The result is that the qualities of the planets involved, in this case Saturn, Neptune and Pluto opposing Ascendant, are brought into great prominence.
The Conciliating Trine and Sextile Aspects
The beneficial Trine and Sextile aspects in this configuration are:
The conciliating Uranus mapping the independence, originality, inventiveness, unorthodox ideas and sudden events in your 10th House relating to career, credit, reputation and mother is…
TRINE Saturn, Neptune and Pluto mapping the behavior relating to system, organization, hard work, responsibility, the need for economy, or loss and your imagination, increased sensitivity, psychic impressions, fantasy thinking, romance, apprehension, idealistic visions or schemes and your spirituality, groups, coercion, cooperation, subtle forces, drastic events or thoughts of universal welfare in the 7th and 6th Houses ruling marriage and partnership and work, coworkers and subordinates and/or illness and the infirm. The Trine aspect is the most harmonious aspect and the matters ruled by these two planets and the houses (departments of life) they occupy greatly benefit one another, bringing LUCK to the two areas of life.
AND
SEXTILE Ascendant mapping the health, the personality, and personal affairs in the 1st House ruling personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics. The Sextile aspect brings OPPORTUNITIES between the two planets and the houses the occupy, which must be cultivated to realize the full benefit.
To benefit from this configuration, spend as much time and effort in the 10th House as possible to maximize the LUCK (Trine aspect) and OPPORTUNITIES (Sextile aspect) to overcome SEPARATION (Opposition aspect).
10. Analysis for Each Department of Life (The Houses)
The following paragraphs describe the various departments of life mapped by the Houses in your chart. See the appendix for a more detailed description of houses in general. The most astrologically active departments of life in your chart, in order of importance, are mapped by the 1st House, the 10th House, the 7th House, the 8th House and the 6th House.
1st House – Personal Matters
The 1st House has dominion over activities of life relating to personality, physical body, physical appearance and demeanor, quality of the personal magnetism, personal prowess, personal matters and general health.
The 1st house is the Most Powerful House in your chart and is the subject of intense feeling, activity and events. This house is also the Worst House in your chart, is discordant and contains four planets: Venus, Mercury, Mars and the Sun. The Sun is your Dominant Planet. Mars is also your Worst Planet, which is described in the “Worst Planet” section under Astrodyne Analysis above. Venus is also your Best Planet.
Venus in the 1st House
Venus is prominent (being in an angular house and its close aspect to the Sun) although weak and less active relative to the power distribution in your chart, but is very harmonious.
Whatever house is occupied by Venus has a strong influence upon the affections, and through it an appeal to the affections can readily be made. Mating, companionship, affection and love are expressions of the thought cells mapped by this planet. The things denoted by this house tend to prosper not through effort and initiative, but through kindnesses and favors received because of grace of manners, and following the line of least resistance. Because the chief expression of the thought-cells in the unconscious mind mapped by Venus in the chart relate to the social life they are referred to as the Social Urges.
Venus in Sagittarius: With the Social Urges, embracing the emotions, the affections, social relationships and artistic appreciation expressing from the “I See” attitude of Sagittarius, seek a worthy subject for your loyal affections rather than allowing impulsiveness to settle for less.
Venus in the 1st House maps the Social Urges expressing through the personality, and indicates a pleasant, attractive demeanor. It also suggests one who may be fastidious and loves grace, music and artistic expression. Companionship is essential. When Venus is afflicted (discordant), there may be a tendency toward pliancy. Counteract this and avoid being too eager to please others and following the line of least resistance. Instead, be firm and assert your strength of character. In the long run, this will please others, allowing you to find satisfactory expression for your affection. The natural antidote for an afflicted Venus is to cultivate caution, system, fairness and foresight (Saturn Safety thoughts), along with thoughts and feelings of pride, dignity, firmness and self-esteem (Sun Power thoughts).
Important aspects to Venus
The most powerful aspect to Venus is Mercury Conjunction Venus. With 8.41 astrodynes of power, this aspect is moderately powerful and with 2.10 harmodynes is harmonious, relative to the other aspects in the chart. Mercury is also in the 1st. This conjunction aspect shows that this area of life experiences a powerful association. The aspect shows the mental interests, facility or accuracy of expression and cerebral activity influence, and are influenced by, the emotions, social relations and artistic appreciation. This conjunction aspect indicates a powerful association between these factors showing benefit through intellectual activity and social relations, and some artistic talent.
Mercury in the 1st House
Mercury is prominent (being in an angular house and its close aspect to the Sun) and powerful and is mildly discordant.
Whatever house is occupied by Mercury becomes the subject of mental effort. The mind expresses itself readily where the things so denoted are concerned. The department of life ruled by the house occupied by Mercury is subject to thought and the subject of conversation. Because the chief expression of the thought-cells in the unconscious mind mapped by Mercury in the chart relate to the intellectual life, they are referred to as the Intellectual Urges.
Mercury in Sagittarius: With the Intellectual thought cells, governing cerebral processes, perception, comparison and communication, expressing from the “I See” attitude of Sagittarius, strive to have your speech, and your expression in general, be generous and loyal rather than impulsive and blunt. The best quality of Sagittarius is loyalty, and its worst quality is mischievousness.
Mercury in the 1st House indicates that the Intellectual Urges express through the personality. This give a loquacious, mentally alert personality that shows ability for speaking, writing and study. Your actions and expression tend to be based on logic and reasoning. You may be an inveterate traveler or inclined to write. Mercury is always mentally alert but can be restless and this will show in your personality. Mercury people often worry about the details and may feel responsible for more than their share. The natural antidote for this is reliance on a higher power and having faith that things will turn out well.
Mercury is also involved in one special planetary configurations in your chart:
The special configuration that Mercury is involved in is a T-Square (See Special Configuration #1 in the Special Chart Configurations section above) involving Jupiter and Uranus in the 8th and 10th Houses.
Mars in the 1st House
Mars is prominent (being in an angular house and its close aspect to the Sun) and powerful and is discordant.
Mars here indicates that forcefulness and energy are expressed through this department of life. Advantage is usually gained through initiative and combat. If loss is indicated by an afflicted (discordant) Mars, there is much struggle associated with it. There will be strenuous activity regarding the things ruled by this house. To the extent the thought cells mapped by Mars are prominent, is the life influenced by thoughts of construction, destruction, initiative, aggression, combat, sex, eating or drinking. Because the chief expression of the thought-elements in the unconscious mind mapped by Mars in the chart relate to attacking obstacles, they are referred to as the Aggressive Urges.
Mars in Sagittarius: Mars maps the Aggressive Urges, embracing thoughts and actions relating to construction, destruction, initiative, aggression, combat, sex, amativeness, eating and drinking. With the Aggressive thought-cells expressing from the “I See” attitude of Sagittarius, channel your initiative into developing a sound philosophy based on knowledge and avoid questionable sporting activity.
Mars in the 1st House maps the Aggressive Urges expressing through the personality, indicating an aggressive, outgoing personality with abundant energy. It also indicates mechanical ability and a willingness to face danger. There is a tendency, however, to be compulsive and rash, so cultivate the habit of thinking things through carefully before acting. Replace destructive thoughts with constructive activities. When prominent and afflicted (discordant), there is a tendency toward quarrelsomeness and harshness. Undue severity and antagonism hinder constructive endeavors. You’ll find greater joy focusing your initiative in fighting disease, ignorance and poverty than in combating human foes. With self-discipline, you can focus your abundant energy into successful and rewarding outlets. The natural antidote for an afflicted Mars is to take aggressive measures to protect the weak and helpless.
Mars is also involved in one special planetary configurations in your chart:
The special configuration that Mars is involved in is a T-Square (See Special Configuration #1 in the Special Chart Configurations section above) involving Jupiter and Uranus in the 8th and 10th Houses.
Sun in the 1st House
Sun is prominent (being in an angular house) and powerful and is mildly discordant.
When a house (department of life) is occupied by the Sun, those matters are vitalized, pursued with vigor and become a dominant motive in the life that affects your significance, authority and self-esteem. Because the chief expression of the thought-elements in the unconscious mind mapped by the Sun in the chart are directed toward gaining and maintaining significance, and their activity strongly influences the relation of the individual to those in authority, as well as influencing his authority over others, they are called Power Urges.
Sun in the 1st House shows the Power Urges expressing through the personality indicating a personal presence and demeanor that is vital and vigorous and projects dignity and authority. It also brings strong recuperative powers. A discordant Sun in the 1st House can be overbearing and prideful.
Sun is also involved in one special planetary configurations in your chart:
The special configuration that Sun is involved in is a T-Square (See Special Configuration #1 in the Special Chart Configurations section above) involving Jupiter and Uranus in the 8th and 10th Houses.
2nd House – Money and Possessions
The 2nd House has dominion over activities of life relating to money, possessions and personal resources.
The 2nd house is of average power relative to the other houses in the chart. This house is the Best House in your chart, is very harmonious and contains one planet: the Moon.
Moon in the 2nd House
Moon is weak and less active but is very harmonious.
Whatever house is occupied by the Moon is subject to ebb and flow, has a significant impact on the mental attitude and the emotions and may be the subject of psychic impressions. The matters ruled by this department of life tend to fluctuate and are the subject of small, insignificant events and everyday affairs. Because the chief expression of the thought-cells in the unconscious mind relate to primarily family life, they are referred to as the Domestic Urges.
Moon in Capricorn: seek honors through serving society rather than through attaining self-centered ambitions.
Moon in the 2nd House indicates that the Domestic Urges express through money and possessions. There may be fluctuation with the finances. Money to provide a stable family and home situation is of primary importance. Matters relating to money and personal possession will have a strong influence over moods and the emotions. If the Moon is afflicted (discordant), aggressive effort to gain and use money to aid the unfortunate, if cultivated, can bring harmony.
Of particular note here is that Moon is in Mutual Reception with Saturn (Á Ý Æ). Saturn is in the 7th House relating to marriage and partnership. These two planets are in Mutual Reception because each occupies the sign which is the exaltation or the home of the other. The resonance thus created tends to be the most harmonious of any due to the sign positions of the two planets. They tend to benefit each other through mutual aims, and the departments of life ruled by houses occupied by the two planets tend markedly to assist each other.
3rd House – Personal Interests, Siblings and Social Media
The 3rd House has dominion over activities of life relating to mental activity, education and personal studies, siblings, neighbors, writing, hobbies, local travel and communications.
The 3rd house is of average power relative to the other houses in the chart, is mildly discordant and contains no planets, but is ruled by Saturn, which is discordant and in the 7th House relating to marriage and partnership, indicating that those matters have special influence over 3rd House matters. So, for example, events relating to marriage and partnership, resulting from your self-interest, affect your personal interests, writing, neighbors and siblings.
4th House – Home
The 4th House has dominion over activities of life relating to primarily the home and home life, but also the father, real estate, farmland and its production, restaurants and conditions at the end of life.
The 4th house is weak and less active relative to the other houses in the chart, but is harmonious and contains no planets, but is ruled by Jupiter, which is harmonious and in the 8th House relating to partner’s money, fiduciary responsibilities and inheritance, and Neptune, which is harmonious and in the 6th House relating to work, coworkers and subordinates and/or illness and the infirm, indicating that the matters of these two houses have special influence over 4th House matters. So, for example, events relating to partner’s money, fiduciary responsibilities and inheritance, resulting from your goodwill or religiosity, affect your home life.
5th House – Children and Love Affairs
The 5th House has dominion over activities of life relating to offspring and pleasures, love affairs, speculation, stocks, bonds and derivatives, children and entertainment.
The 5th house is of average power relative to the other houses in the chart, is mildly discordant and contains no planets, but is ruled by Mars, which is discordant and in the 1st House relating to personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics, indicating that those matters have special influence over 5th House matters. So, for example, events relating to personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics, resulting from your rashness, affect your pleasure, love affairs, children and speculation.
6th House – Work
The 6th House has dominion over activities of life relating to work environment, coworkers, subordinates and employees, food in general, especially those consumed or prepared, small animals and the conditions surrounding illness or places where illness is treated.
The 6th house is moderately powerful relative to the other houses in the chart, is mildly discordant and contains one planet: Neptune.
Neptune in the 6th House
Neptune is prominent (its close aspect to the Moon) although weak and less active relative to the power distribution in your chart, but is harmonious.
Whatever house is occupied by Neptune is influenced by subtle and visionary factors. There is something elusive and mystical about the section of life denoted by this house. About the things so denoted, the imagination weaves pictures, and these mental pictures influence the attitude toward reality. Neptune expresses through the imagination, romance, increased sensitivity, psychic impressions, wishful thinking, fantasy thinking, daydreaming, apprehension, idealistic visions or by schemes and thoughts of easy wealth or promotion. Because the chief expression of the thought-cells mapped by Neptune relate to images of conditions more perfect, they are generally referred to as the Utopian Urges. The department of life ruled by the house occupied by Neptune is subject to Illusion in that things are not always as they appear.
Neptune in Taurus: Neptune maps the Utopian Urges embracing wishful or fantasy thinking and daydreaming, apprehension, idealistic visions and lofty spiritual ideas, the imagination, romanticism, platonic relationships and thoughts of easy wealth or promotion of schemes. With the Utopian thought-cells expressing from the “I Have” attitude of Taurus, seek idealism through securing freedom from want for all rather than in acquiring a vast fortune.
Neptune in the 6th House shows that the Idealistic Urges express primarily through work. You may find that your employees, subordinates or co-workers may be impractical. Become aware of, and avoid being too idealistic or impractical at work. Learn to recognize when schemes at work will likely not pan out. Apply critical thinking and promote system and organization at work when possible. With this position of Neptune, you may be inclined to provide services of a spiritual nature. You may have interests in spiritual healing, homeopathic medicine and health foods. If so, practicality and critical thinking are appropriate here, too. About illness, there may be disorders due to hypersensitivity or psychosomatic ailments. Unclear diagnosis of ailments is common. Since Neptune maps those thought-cells that tend to hypersensitivity, especially when powerful and afflicted (discordant), learn to visualize yourself surrounded by and radiating vital energy. This can result in an energizing, positive attitude.
Neptune is also involved in one special planetary configurations in your chart:
The special configuration that Neptune is involved in is an Opposition Drain (See Special Configuration #2 in the Special Chart Configurations section above) involving Uranus and Ascendant in the 10th and 1st Houses.
7th House – Marriage and Partnership
The 7th House has dominion over activities of life relating to marriage, partnership, the attitude of those met in public, open enemies, competitors and lawsuits.
The 7th house is powerful relative to the other houses in the chart, is discordant and contains two planets: Saturn and Pluto.
Having two planets in this house indicates that it is an important department of life.
Saturn in the 7th House
Saturn is prominent (being in an angular house) although of average power relative to the power distribution in your chart, and is discordant.
Whatever house is occupied by Saturn experiences hard work, responsibility, and frugality or loss. Saturn maps that area of the unconscious mind referred to as the Safety Urges because these thought-cells relate to hard work, acquisition, persistence, planning, organization and all things which serve to provide stability, safety and security for the individual.
When especially prominent (powerful) in the chart and afflicted (discordant), these Saturn thought-elements can stimulate discordant thoughts of fear, greed, envy, or self-centeredness, and are responsible for loss, hardship and privation and the necessity of working diligently for every advantage. There can be restrictions of various kinds and heavy burdens leading to emotions which can be morose, melancholy or despondent, leading in some cases to clinical depression, depending also on environmental and hereditary factors. You can benefit from an afflicted Saturn by directing your Safety Urges to express in a constructive manner as when harmonious. (See next paragraph.)
When Saturn is powerful in the chart and harmonious or neutral (that is, not too discordant), then you can benefit from efficiency, economy, organization, hard work, shrewdness and your ability to buy to advantage.
Saturn in Taurus: Saturn maps the Safety Urges embracing thoughts and actions relating to safety, secrecy, acquisitiveness, buying, trading, worry, fear, system, order and persistence. With the Safety thought-cells expressing from the “I Have” attitude of Taurus, seek security through wisely putting money to use rather than hoarding it.
Saturn in the 7th House shows that the Safety Urges express primarily through marriage and partnership, indicating heavy responsibility or loss through marriage, and difficulty with the public. If Saturn is well aspected, there is a strong sense of justice and responsibility. Although partnerships may be steadfast and marriage stable and enduring, whatever benefit comes to partnership and interface with the public only comes through hard work, persistence, planning and organization.
When Saturn is afflicted (discordant), as is often the case, there can be a coldness in marriage or no marriage at all. As an antidote for an afflicted Saturn, nurture warm, friendly Venus thinking relating to marriage, partnership and interface with the public through gifts and favors, and cultivate pleasure in social activities, the arts and entertainment. To attract better fortune in this area of life, also stimulate Sun thoughts of your importance and self-esteem related to 7th house activities.
Saturn is also involved in one special planetary configurations in your chart:
The special configuration that Saturn is involved in is an Opposition Drain (See Special Configuration #2 in the Special Chart Configurations section above) involving Uranus and Ascendant in the 10th and 1st Houses.
Pluto in the 7th House
Pluto is prominent (being in an angular house) although weak and less active relative to the power distribution in your chart, and is mildly discordant.
Whatever house is occupied by Pluto is subject to inner-plane influence, either for good or ill. The activities stimulated include facilities for cooperation with others and for contacting groups of people. Because the chief expression of the thought-cells mapped by Pluto relate to cooperation for the welfare of the group, and spiritual efforts for the benefit of all, they are generally referred to as the Universal Welfare Urges. To the extent the thought cells mapped by Pluto are active, is the life influenced by thoughts of groups, statistics, division of labor, mass production, inner-plane conditions, drastic events, the inside of things, gang methods, cooperation, coercion, or universal welfare. If Pluto is powerful in the chart and afflicted (discordant), there will be undue pressure brought to bear by others to compel such action as they desire relative to the things the house rules.
Pluto in Taurus: Pluto maps the Universal Welfare Urges embracing thoughts and actions related to groups, statistics, inner-plane conditions, drastic events, the inside of things, gang methods, cooperation, coercion, and universal welfare. With the Universal Welfare Urges expressing from the “I Have” attitude of Taurus, seek cooperation through attaining freedom from want for all rather than in monopolizing wealth.
Pluto in the 7th House shows that the Universal Welfare Urges express primarily through partnership, indicating that association with groups can, if Pluto is well-aspected, benefit the marriage and partnerships; otherwise unwanted pressure from groups may have a destructive effect on marriage and partnership or the partner may be domineering. Dealings with others and interface with the public, for work or otherwise, will be strongly influenced by groups. You benefit by cultivating the ability to cooperate with others for the good of all.
Pluto is also involved in one special planetary configurations in your chart:
The special configuration that Pluto is involved in is an Opposition Drain (See Special Configuration #2 in the Special Chart Configurations section above) involving Uranus and Ascendant in the 10th and 1st Houses.
8th House – Death, Inheritance and Other People’s Money
The 8th House has dominion over activities of life relating to legacies and inheritance, gifts, partner’s money and other people’s money in general, fiduciary responsibilities, debts owed to you and the ability of those owing to pay, death, life insurance, taxes and the influence of the dead.
The 8th house is powerful relative to the other houses in the chart, is neutral regarding harmony or discord and contains one planet: Jupiter.
Jupiter in the 8th House
Jupiter is prominent (its close aspect to the Sun) although of average power relative to the power distribution in your chart, and is harmonious.
Whatever house is occupied by Jupiter experiences abundance, goodwill and optimism. Jupiter maps the Religious Urges in the unconscious mind, so called because these thought-cells tend to express through veneration, philosophical or religious thinking and faith in providence. Jupiter is also considered a business planet because it manifests abundance, goodwill and optimism and rules the professions in general.
Jupiter in Gemini: Jupiter maps the Religious Urges embracing thoughts and actions relating to benevolence, veneration, hope, devotion, generosity and goodwill toward others. With the religious thought-cells expressing from the “I Think” attitude of Gemini, put your faith in carefully ascertained facts from reliable sources rather than believing everything you read.
Jupiter in the 8th House indicates that the Religious thought cells express primarily through inheritance, events relating to death, and association with partner’s money or other people’s money. This position shows abundance through gifts and inheritance or the partner’s money. General good fortune results from handling other people’s money or providing financial advice or tax accounting. There can be significant benefit through both borrowing and lending. A business can safely be run on a credit basis. Activities related to death, such as insurance, reverse mortgages or even funeral homes can bring financial gain. In religious matters, there may be a strong interest in life after death. If Jupiter is afflicted (discordant), avoid being overly-optimistic, analyze the situation carefully and cultivate critical thinking to make good decisions.
Jupiter is also involved in one special planetary configurations in your chart:
The special configuration that Jupiter is involved in is a T-Square (See Special Configuration #1 in the Special Chart Configurations section above) involving Uranus, Sun, Mercury and Mars in the 10th and 1st Houses.

The 9th house is weak and less active relative to the other houses in the chart, but is harmonious and contains no planets, but is ruled by the Moon, which is very harmonious and in the 2nd House relating to money and possessions, indicating that those matters have special influence over 9th House matters. So, for example, events relating to money and possessions, resulting from your domesticity, affect your religion, philosophy, social media, and long journeys.
10th House – Career, Business, Credit and Reputation
The 10th House has dominion over activities of life relating to honors, business, credit, reputation, career, superiors and mother.
The 10th house is powerful relative to the other houses in the chart, is discordant and contains one planet: Uranus.
Uranus in the 10th House
Uranus is prominent (being in an angular house and its close aspect to the Sun) although of average power relative to the power distribution in your chart, and is mildly discordant.
The thought cells mapped by Uranus powerfully influence originality of thought, and the ability to make marked departures from precedence and custom. Because their chief expression relates to originality, they are generally referred to as the Individualistic Urges. Whatever house is occupied by Uranus denotes things about which radical tendencies are likely to manifest. In the section of life indicated by such a house there are sudden changes and developments of an extreme nature, either constructive or destructive. Whatever good is signified in one direction is accompanied by some lesser disadvantage in another and vice versa. To the extent the thought cells mapped by Uranus are active (powerful in the chart), is the life influenced by thoughts of independence, originality, invention, the unconventional, unusual or new methods.
Uranus in Virgo: Uranus maps the Individualistic Urges embracing thoughts and actions relating to independence, originality, invention, the unconventional and unusual, new or radical methods. With the Individualistic thought-cells expressing from the “I Analyze” attitude of Virgo, seek originality in new methods and changes in the workplace rather than in fads relating to foods.
Uranus in the 10th House shows that the Individualistic Urges express primarily through honor and career, indicating original methods in business and sudden changes in fortune. Uranus brings the unconventional, innovative and inventive to business and career and the radical, or even revolutionary, to politics. You tend to be interested in applying the latest science in your career or business pursuits. Concentrate on original or unusual methods that are valuable, rather than merely different. Cultivate Jupiter thinking that relies on providence, optimism, goodwill and tolerance.
Uranus is also involved in two special planetary configurations in your chart:
The first special configuration that Uranus is involved in is a T-Square (See Special Configuration #1 in the Special Chart Configurations section above) involving Jupiter, Sun, Mercury and Mars in the 8th and 1st Houses.
The second special configuration that Uranus is involved in is an Opposition Drain (See Special Configuration #2 in the Special Chart Configurations section above) involving Saturn, Neptune, Pluto and Ascendant in the 7th, 6th and 1st Houses, for which Uranus is the conciliating planet making it a potent Rallying Force. (See Glossary in the Appendix.)

The 11th house is weak and less active relative to the other houses in the chart, but is harmonious and contains no planets, but is ruled by Venus, which is very harmonious and in the 1st House relating to personal matters, the personality and physical characteristics, indicating that those matters have special influence over 11th House matters.
