You can think of the planets as symbolizing core parts of the human personality, and the signs as
different colors of consciousness through which they filter through.
The aspects describe the geometric angles between the planets. The orb is the range, up to which
an aspect is considered active. A tighter aspect indicates a stronger influence.
This section describes the significance of each planet's placement in its respective sign. While the
inner planets (Sun to Jupiter) reflect core parts of the individual personality, the slow-moving
outer planets (Saturn to Pluto) are thought to reflect more abstract and collective energies.
Sun in 7 Cancer
Cancer is represented by the crab; its hard, protective shell symbolizes
its capacity to protect itself and honor its sensitivity. Living on both land
and sea, it is adaptable to many environments, which is a product of its
ability to nurture itself. Following an intuitively inspired path, its
distinctive sideways walk symbolizes its ability to flow with the shifts in
its emotions. In practice, a Cancer individual comes across as a delicate
and highly aware being who is able to trust themselves and their
connection to the Divine.
Feelings are messages from our soul: when we feel good, we can feel
ourselves resonating with our soul. When Cancer people pay attention
to their feelings and follow their messages, they find themselves drifting
towards happiness. Following their bliss even in little ways, they
strengthen their intuition. The more they tune into their intuition's
frequency, the stronger the signal becomes.
Like the protective shell of a crab, the Cancer individual must create a
safe environment from which she can explore and listen to her inner
world. As a result, she values security; she values safe places that she
can feel free to move with her inner rhythms in; she values
environments that attract emotional energy and heart-felt connections.
Cancer people can naively fall into the trap of seeking these qualities
from other people. Similarly, they can find themselves dependent on
external situations that provide an emotionally safe place for them.
These traits are balanced by the traits of Capricorn, Cancer's opposite
sign, as it seeks to cultivate self-reliance and assume responsibility; it
seeks to quell the drama of its emotional life and not allow itself to feel
overwhelmed by emotional experiences.
Moon in 27 Libra
A Libra Moon is very cognizant of other people's emotions and
preferences but not very vocal about her own. Individually, the Libra
path involves finding balance and inner equilibrium in one's life and
within oneself, and the Moon symbolizes one's emotional realm and
how one nurtures themselves. Libra is not the most emotive sign,
preferring a detached and observant perspective.
The scales of Libra are reflected in Libra Moon's personal desire to find
harmony in every action and encounter. The symbolism of the scales is
further reflected in the strong Libra values of fairness, grace, elegance,
and diplomacy. The scales are even evoked in their artistic eye, often
having an appreciation for symmetry.
Libra Moons relish in light-hearted social situations, particularly
around many friends or romantic partners; they are likely to feel
nourished by social encounters; they seek harmonious situations and
avoid confrontation; however, they need to watch out for attracting
superficial encounters. As Libra Moons follow a deepening path of self-
awareness, they learn how to strengthen their sense of self and not get
lost in their striving for harmony and peace. They learn how to be
authentic and find peace internally.
Mercury's symbolism Gemini's symbolism
Mental approach Dynamic mind
Communication style Whimsical
Reflexes, sensitivity of the Versatile; Jack of all trades
nervous system Witty; Mercurial
Sociability Social
Mercury in 16 Gemini
Symbol: Gemini is represented by the twins, two siblings representing
opposing perspectives, stimulating and exciting one another through
ideas and play. As the energy between siblings is restless, Gemini is a
highly dynamic sign. The curious twins seek new experiences. Here the
focus is on communication and the expression of ideas between them.
Expression: You have a deep passion for learning. In the areas that most
interest you, you build an almost encyclopedic breadth of knowledge
about them. You're intellectually open, having many varied interests.
This is paramount for satiating your desire for mental stimulation. You
enjoy being on the pulse of thinking in your community, where they
find you sociable and witty.
Venus in 5 Gemini
You may have something of an addiction to the unpredictability of love.
In essence, you are looking for excitement and versatility in your
connections., but you can also get caught up chasing melodramatic
partners. When pursuing romance, you are looking for partners who
are simply fun to be around; they make everything entertaining; they
get your sense of humor; they charm people; you just click and
understand each other.
It is likely you are very sociable and have a wide circle of friends. You
enjoy being exposed to a large variety of people and ideas. It’s possible
that people come to expect entertainment from you. Your desire to
impress others or even overcompensate for feelings of social anxiety
fuel this expectation. It serves you to remember that you are worthy
however you choose to express yourself. The more transparent you can
be, the more you are able to genuinely connect. It's okay to be the
downer at a party. You don’t always have to be everyone's
entertainment.

What sparks your passion
Mars in 12 Libra
Awakened warriors are connected to their impulses, quick and
masterful with both their minds and bodies. And yet, at the same time,
they are not at the whim of petty battles. There is a level of refinement
in awakened warriors, in which they know how to self-direct their skill
in a disciplined way. They strive to embrace courage for a higher cause
and compassion for others in their judgement, only doing what is
necessary to uphold peace.
With this placement, you may be overly refined in your approach but
not connected to your intuition. In a sense, it can be exhibited as a type
of controlled aggression. You may be shut down from acting on things
because of overthinking, heavily weighing every single option before
making a move, focusing on minute details of a situation and ignoring
the big picture.
You dislike conflict; perhaps you have witnessed others lose control of
their sensibilities as they get swept up in red-hot emotions. You seek to
be multifaceted in your mental approach, seeing things from other
perspectives in order to avoid miscommunication. You are often very
empathetic towards other points of view.
At the same time, you may thrive from connecting to your primal parts.
Whether it be through a disciplined athletic regime, a martial arts class,
or spoken poetry, it helps you to just get out of your mind for a while.
When sparring with someone, you have no time to get lost in your
thoughts. This can immediately bring you to the present; You will feel
the force of your power in that moment. When your energy comes into
harmony, you feel quick on your feet and, yet, thoughtful in your mind.

Jupiter in 0 Scorpio
You believe in the importance of being fearlessly self-honest; you seek
deeper self transparency by striving to unearth hypocrisy within
yourself. You really believe in a philosophy of regularly shaking your
ego, gimmicks, and delusions loose. Ultimately, what’s the point of lying
to oneself?
Your gift is that as you set the intention forward to do inner work, you
get better at knowing what actually works. Along this journey, you
should find pleasure in every moment of release. There is always room
to make it more positive and light-hearted.

Saturn in 15 Libra
As one of the first slow-moving outer planets, Saturn influences the
chart abstractly rather than concretely. Its presence suggests, especially
towards your goals, you seek to be balanced and objective in your
approach. You want the structures in your life to be stable and well
thought-out. You don't want to be swayed by biases or irrational
judgements; rather, you believe in gathering information from a
multitude of sources in order to determine the truth.
Uranus in 1 Sagittarius
As a far-away outer planet, the effect of Uranus has a more abstract
influence on the personality relating to how one seeks change or
improvement in their environment.
They seek to not fall into the trap of going through the motions but truly
value what it feels like to live their experiences first and foremost.
Collectively, they have a tendency to avoid the comfort of structure, and
seek to loosen or water down the 'rules' that have caused stagnation in
personal or collective growth around creative expression.
On the other hand, with this placement one can be foolhardy in their
decision making, possibly placing their heart too far above their head.
One gains from taking more of a practical approach toward change.

Neptune in 25 Sagittarius
As a far-away outer planet, the effect of Neptune has a more abstract
influence on the personality. Neptune's energy itself seeks to diffuse
thoughts and activate the imagination, moving away from the concrete
and tangible. Dreaming is the act of building something new —
pivoting in a new direction, though the details may be unclear and
foggy. With Neptune in Sagittarius, this energy activates the attributes
associated with Sagittarius: living the life of the vagabond; honouring
the desire to roam and feel uninhibited in the choices they make;
manifesting the dream of living an adventurous life, with ever
unfolding experiences to capitalize on in each moment; building a life
without responsibilities and restraint.
Pluto's symbolism Libra's symbolism

Pluto in 24 Libra
As Pluto is the furthest planet from the Sun, it reflects most abstractly
on the personality. Also because it is slow-moving in the sky, its
placement defines a generation more than an individual. The Pluto in
Libra generation was born between 1972 and 1984.
Pluto delves into the collective unconscious — the things unsaid and
ignored. It dives deeply into this underworld to bring these themes back
to the surface. Once these themes are brought back to light, there is an
opportunity for collective healing and regeneration around these
themes. Pluto in Libra unearths injustices and imbalances on a
personal and collective level. It exposes the folly of being closed-minded,
partisan, and biased. This energy brings taboo topics to light and seeks
to create real equality versus superficial equality.

Ascendant in 9 Pisces
The Ascendant reflects our external mask, and how we come off to
others. This is the face one shows to the world, but not necessarily to
those who know them well (that is reflected more by the Sun and
Moon).
You have a soft, gentle air around you. You appear imaginative,
musical, or poetic. You may be intensely creative but struggle in
communicating concrete ideas to people, so this may be why expressing
yourself abstractly through artistic mediums feels elevating to you. Like
a foggy cloud, you may be very private and prefer to obfuscate the
details of your life. You see yourself as a creative and a mystic, bringing
life to your daydreams.
You appear to just go with the flow, perhaps not seeming to have strong
preferences or demands. To people, you seem to find a way to be easy
about things, and then, just like that, precarious situations have a way
of working themselves out, almost like magic.

As you are naturally optimistic, you seek to see only the absolute beauty
of life, but when the murky fog of Neptune’s influence is strong, you can
be prone to self-escapism. Living in a matrix that makes you dependent
on other people for material and emotional support. Your gentle nature,
to the frustration of those close to you, can be easily taken advantage of.
It’s useful to become more self-aware about how impressionable you are.
Don’t be afraid to listen to your intuition — when it’s screams for you to
show some chutzpah, show some chutzpah. You can heal your own
emotions by using your strong imagination and ability to visualize, in
order to craft your life and guide yourself towards solutions.

You are a problem solver or, even better, a solution finder. Your career
has you taking ideas, breaking them down, inspecting every part, and
building it back again. You’re in the business of asking "why?". You want
to understand things at their fundamental level, approaching your work
in a methodical manner. Writing has always been a keen interest for you.
It gives you the ability to explore things from many different angles.
You're open-minded and not attached to a certain method of doing
things — you're only attached to the pursuit of truth.
Conjunction symbolism

When the energy is out-of-balance, you shoulder too much weight. You
take on a disproportionate share of duties because you believe it's the
responsible thing to do. On the other hand, it's possible that identifying
too closely with the struggle leaves you blind to easy solutions.
Your willingness to believe that things can unfold more effortlessly can
transform your life. Your mind can be highly pragmatic, but, sometimes,
it's not important to have the whole path laid out in front of you. When
you're tapped into your intuition, feeling your way and believing your
way into solutions, things can work out with even more ease.
Conjunction symbolism

You can be an intense character at times. You're not someone who takes
or says things lightly. All your actions have weight. Allowing your
emotions to simmer under the surface inevitably can boil over into wild
mood swings and emotional insecurities. Pent up emotions are the
reason for the rise in temperature. Finding ways to alleviate this pressure
is paramount in keeping yourself composed. As you continue to cultivate
the wisdom of your intuition, you'll find yourself catapulted towards
deeper fulfilling experiences.

potential that is linked with your inner emotional world.

You work in a methodical manner; you plan and you execute — it’s,
rather, a simple formula. Efficiency is the name of the game in your
world. It’s a binary process for you: what gets me closer to my goal versus
what doesn’t. You've a frank take on your abilities. You don't delude
yourself into believing that you know something, when you're actually
clueless about it. Your pragmatism won’t allow you. You do whatever it
takes to get up to speed. In your eyes doing anything else is simply a
waste of time.
The more you cultivate compassion for your strong preferences and
eccentricities within yourself, the more it'll be reflected in your
relationships. Likely you're attracted to the strange, unusual, and exciting
as a way to explore your own identity outside of normal societal
conventions.

energy source. Allowing yourself to relax, even temporarily stop working,
will help you recuperate the energy needed to tackle your next goal.

You’re often a flirt who is pleasure-loving and sensual; you enjoy flirty
banter and don't mind fishing for a compliment or two. At the same time,
you ooze sexuality, and you enjoy the physicality of sex. You aren’t afraid
to be a hopeless romantic — speaking in poetry, buying your lover
flowers, or showing affection. Rather than coming off as cliche, you have
a way of exuding charisma in whatever you do. You've a way of simply
sweeping people off their feet.
When this pattern is excessive, you can be vain and give way too much
credence to how people perceive you. You may be addicted to attracting
connections, which can quickly become chaotic, yet they never last. These
can be used as a means of compensating for your feelings of insecurity.
As you feel more secure in your romantic energy, you cultivate more
balance. You’re comfortable being an affectionate, loving person without
much expectation of how you will be received back. You simply love
loving, and it fuels you. You feel confident when diving into romantic
relationships, secure in what you have to offer.

lead you to overextend yourself.
Finding yourself in such a rut provides you with a sure sign that you
have veered off the path of positivity. Tap back into the magic that you
know, and never let anyone dilute it. When you expect the best to happen,
things often have a way of resolving themselves.

Ultimately, you're like an alchemist for your own spirit, but it’s also wise
to be wary about obsessing over self-improvement, as if you need to fix
yourself endlessly. In truth, you feel nourishment by loving yourself as
