When you begin studying Astrology, it can be very tempting to rely on the cookbook interpretations. Which is completely understandable; Astrology is very complex and it can be a lot to take in at first. But if you want to study astrology or just understand it at any deeper level, you really have to start with the basics. I tried to keep this pretty surface level and not go too in depth, because it can be kind of confusing and overwhelming at first.

Conjunctions☌

(0 degrees) In the most basic sense a conjunction is the blending of planetary energies. For better or for worse the planets involved are going to act together. Because there is so much energy involved when to planets join so closely, conjunctions are considered to be powerful and intense aspects. Conjunctions aren’t considered to be inherently easy or hard, their nature really depends on the planets involved. I love how Debbie Kempton-Smith described conjunctions as being “like locking two strangers up in a stalled elevator for a lifetime. Some planets get along on top of each other and others don’t”. It sounds funny but that’s not a bad way to approach them; Venus and Jupiter are obviously going to get along much better than Mars and Saturn.

Conjunctions between a personal planet and an outer planet can be seen as difficult. Personal planets concern everyday life, and the outer planets are a bit more abstract for lack of a better word, so when they conjoin it can create a person who feels very concerned with things that don’t really concern their day to day. That can ultimately be good or bad of course, but it’s still not the easiest thing. As for how the conjunction will act, it can be helpful to look for which planet in the conjunction is better placed. For example, a textbook interpretation of Mercury conjunct Mars would be that the native is tactless and talks quickly. If the conjunction is placed in Aries where Mars is in its rulership, then sure, the native may talk quickly and have a bit of a problem being tactful. But if the conjunction takes place in Taurus, where Mars is in detriment, the native may be a bit more patient and tactful, but they’ll still be able to stand up for themselves and hold their own in a debate.

Squares ◻︎

(90 degrees) “A square is a hard aspect can create difficulties and tensions because it lacks the means to combine planets harmoniously - to begin with, anyway. But a square also gives the strength to tackle the problems it causes.” (Karen Hamaker-Zondag) Squares create a fight between the planets involved. They’re considered a hard aspect, there’s a lot of tension because the signs involved have nothing in common, but there’s also a lot of energy and strength in them. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen two people with nothing in common have to work on a project together, but that’s what a square is like. So a few things can happen with them; one planet can try to repress the other, but the other planet is still going to be there seething and waiting for it’s chance jump out. Or, this aspect can cause the planets involved to overcompensate or exaggerate, but if you go too far with it life will throw something at you to put you in your place. Something I find interesting about squares is that they can cause you to be paranoid or self-conscious about whatever area of life they apply to. I think that paranoia can either be caused by repression or a tendency to overcompensate, or it can cause you to repress or overcompensate. Either way, paranoia, repression, and overcompensation go along with squares.

Squares aren’t wholly bad, and it’s necessary to have some of the friction provided by them in a chart to have the will or push to succeed. It’s helpful to have them aspect a Trine, because it can give the push needed to make something of a natural talent. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard the saying “light a fire under your ass” but that’s what a square will do.

Example: Someone with Sun square Jupiter can be generous and magnanimous, but if they’re overcompensating they may be a bit much.

Oppositions ☍

(180 degrees) Oppositions are a bit harder for me; I don’t have any so I don’t have a good feel for them. That being said, they are complex, tense, and tentative. Someone with many oppositions in their chart may have a kind of contradictory personality unless they’re more developed, in which case they’d be open minded in the way that they can look at an issue from different perspectives. But like I said before, on their own they’re complex. The two planets involved can’t function simultaneously. Sometimes the native gets stuck on one end of the opposition and seeks or attracts people to balance them out.

Unlike with squares, signs that are in opposition (Aries-Libra, Taurus-Scorpio, etc) have common themes. It’s possible to reconcile oppositions, you just can’t force it; lean into it and let each planet act as it is.

Example: Someone with Venus opposite Jupiter might come off as overly passionate and assertive in some types of relationships (like friendships), but then be willing to bend over backwards in other types of relationships (like romantic). The same would go for their interactions with people, they’d either be aggressive or congenial. If and when they learn to lean into their contradictions they’ll come off as someone who is strong and passionate, but also loving and gentle.

Trines △

(120 degrees) Trines are harmonious and easy, everyone loves trines. They’re said to be lucky, and to bestow talents and gifts that are indicated by the planets involved. The planets blend together harmoniously and have no problem working together. Unless it’s an out-of-sign aspect, planets in a trine are in the same element, which is part of the reason they get along well. If you happen to be looking at a child’s chart, look for their trines. They point towards natural abilities that should be nurtured (don’t force anything, they just give an idea).

Trines are also known to cause laziness and a lack of motivation. They lack tension, which is mostly a good thing, but a lack of tension also causes a lack of incentive. Llewellyn George used this quote to describe them, “We more often count our woes than our blessings” which is very fitting. Talents and abilities from trines come naturally, so they can sometimes be taken for granted. I’m sure we all know a person who has some incredible natural talent, say for music, but has no interest in pursuing it. That would be a trine that is just laying latent. It’s ideal to have a harsh aspect, especially a square, aspecting a trine because the tension can help with developing and making something of that talent.

Example: Someone with Moon trine Mercury tend to be good at expressing themselves, especially with words. While someone with this aspect is likely good at writing and it’ll show, it doesn’t mean that they’ll like writing enough to develop their ability, or they may just be too lazy to put the work into it. Having some sort of square involved here may get them motivated enough to actually develop their ability further and maybe do something with it.

Sextile ✳︎

(60 Degrees) Sextiles are one of the Ptolemaic aspects, but they are considered weak by some astrologers. I’d still include them in the Major Aspects, but I’d also keep orbs tighter with them. Sextiles are harmonious, but they’re weaker than a trine. I’m going to quote Llewellyn George again here, “with trines, one rests on one’s laurels, but with sextiles, one either uses one’s laurels or doesn’t get any benefit from them”. Sextiles give some degree of talent as well, but with even more effort required. Someone with some sort of sextile-related talent may be unable to see it themselves, but other people see it in them.

Basics

Gemini’s archetype is talkative, curious, and moody; combining to portray the “two-faced” label they’ve been given. The Twins are versatile and intelligent, leading them to delve into philosophical and scientific pursuits.

The third astrological sign of the zodiac, the sun transits through Gemini from 20th May to 21st June, meaning that all people born on or between these dates have The Twins as their Sun sign. Gemini is a mutable sign, which shows that they have a natural affinity to adapt to their surroundings and sympathize with others. Gemini is also a part of the air signs along with Aquarius and Libra.

The ruling planet of Gemini is Mercury, who was the messenger of the Gods in Roman mythology. Mercury represents logic, rationality, thought, and communication; all of which can be seen in Gemini. The Twins are a very reasonable sign, and have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and take great pleasure in learning new things, which is a direct reflection of their ruling planet. How these traits are expressed varies depending on where Gemini energy is located in one’s chart.

My description will go into further detail on the influences of Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Gemini.

Gemini Sun

The Sun sign illustrates a large chunk of one’s character, essentially it is the individual’s core personality traits. The way a friend may describe you can align very well with the traits of your Sun sign. Gemini Suns can be both extremely extroverted and extremely introverted, which usually ends up creating an ambiverted yet sociable person.

These people have the potential to be excessively talkative, and if you’re up for listening they can, and will, talk your ears off. If they are passionate about something, Gemini Sun natives will feel a strong urge to seek out others who share their passions. Due to a need to fit in and be accepted, many people with Sun in Gemini willingly alter portions of their personality to match those they’ve chosen to hang around.

Gemini Suns can be very direct people. They like to have as little complications in their life as possible. As much as they are misunderstood by others, they are just as misunderstood by themselves. These individuals are often very loyal friends, contrary to popular belief/opinion. They can feel underlying urges to flaunt what they have to feel better about themselves, and are unfortunately prone to overthinking due to their fast-paced minds.

Gemini Moon

The Moon sign tells us how someone handles their emotions, how they feel, and their inner self. It can also represent what an individual looks for in their romantic pursuits.

People with their Moon in Gemini, to put it simply, are frustrated by emotion. Since they are so logic-driven in character, they can’t help but attempt to pick apart their feelings with rationality. However, this often leads to immense irritation as emotions cannot be handled with reason. Most emotions are completely irrational; a Gemini Moon’s worst nightmare. Because of this, these people often try and distance themselves from feeling, and become “emotion hermits.”

They have a sort of inner unrest within themselves, and seek different ways to quell it, such as actively seeking out ways to stir up chaos in order to fulfill themselves. This makes Moon in Gemini quite the gossip, and 99% of them have the tea on any and every rumour you can think of. Without social stimulation, Gemini Moons can be susceptible to extreme and overwhelming boredom. If they seem overly clingy or attention-seeking, they are most likely in actual need of communication.

Gemini Moon people can come across as very flirtatious, whether they intend to or not, considering their sometimes overwhelming need to share everything on their mind. However, you’ll likely never have a particularly mundane conversation with someone who has Moon in Gemini simply because of their story-telling ability. They try to seem as if they give no fucks, but it is usually clear to see that they do.

Gemini Rising/Ascendant

The Rising sign, also known as the Ascendant, represents first impressions, physical appearance, and acquaintances. Someone who has just met you will most likely guess your rising sign to be your Sun sign, as it is the general vibe you give off to others.

Gemini Risings are very playful, inquisitive, and extroverted. They are quite adept at making small talk, and are the masters of making “The weather’s nice today” into an interesting conversation starter. They are very confusing, however, because while you may expect them to feel one way, they are more often than not a complete 360 from what was initially expected. People with this placement are highly alert and in-tune to the things happening around them.

In terms of physical appearance, these people may have a baby-face and the eyes of a siren. They are disposed to giving off a childlike vibe due to their curious looks. Very externally charming, the Gemini Rising can be likened to that of a fox: simultaneously intelligent and cunning, with a softer, more innocent and meddling side.

Gemini Mercury

Mercury symbolizes the mind and intellect. It details how one communicates, debates, thinks, and speaks. Gemini is at home in Mercury, and exhibits the most stereotypical Mercury traits, including wit, outstanding intelligence, extroversion, and curiosity. People with this placement go about thinking in a very quick manner, their minds simply cannot shut off no matter how hard the individual may try.

Those with a Gemini Mercury are very engaging, and have a unique ability to draw others into their conversations with their words. They have broad vocabularies and a natural affinity for learning in most areas. Excellent at communicating what they are thinking down to the letter. Their verbal speech matches their thoughts, fast and endless. They often lose others mid-sentence due to the sheer rate at which they blurt information aloud. Are at high risk of rambling.

Gemini Venus

Venus represents sensuality, passion, and how an individual behaves when in love. These people are often more attracted to intelligence then they are physical appearance. They are likely playful people, and much enjoy teasing others. If someone with a Gemini Venus really wants to get to know you, they will. Due to their immense curiosity, they’ll want to know every single detail you have to share. They are genuinely interested people.

Gemini Mars

In my opinion, AQUARIUS is the most misunderstood sign of the zodiac.

From the people I’ve spoken to and the things I’ve read, people tend to misread aquarius and don’t take the time to really figure them out (they’re tricky and extremely private people, you do have to make an effort to understand them, or else you’re just going to see their outer shell)

Here’s some things to keep in mind:

1). Space is important to them. These are not the kind of people who can spend all their time with others. At a certain point, they are going to need a break to collect their thoughts on their own. So don’t be surprised if they come across distant, especially when you first meet them. It really has nothing to do with the company they’re with, it’s more about needing time alone because they don’t want to lose theirselves in the company of others. Aquarius is one of the most independent signs, so needing constant human connection is simply not one of their traits. They are comfortable with distance and are comfortable maintaining relationships with people they do not see often.

2) An aquarius will not go out of their way to win over your affection when you clearly aren’t interested. Many people don’t realize how Aquarius fears rejection. They don’t want to be made to look like a fool, and they certainly do not want to look desperate. So if they know you aren’t interested, they are going to play it cool and act uninterested theirselves. This is why Aquarius can have trouble with commitment. They are only going to make a move if they are 100% comfortable with you and have an idea of what’s going through your head. If they don’t know, they won’t act. They will always prefer to appear unaffected and unbothered than lonely and desperate.  

3) The way to their heart is through their mind. You really want an aquarius to love you? Stimulate their mind. Aquarius loves to learn something new, and are drawn to people who can broaden their mental horizon. They are turned off by close minded individuals who are committed to remaining in their own bubble. Aquarius will appreciate flirting that is carefully worded and will really fall for the people who can carry meaningful, substantial conversation.

4) Their healthiest relationships start off as friendships. If you’re interested in an aquarius but are frustrated with their mixed signals (or lack their of), you should try being their friend first. Once they have a sense of who you are, they can trust you. Once they trust you, they can open up to you. And once they open up to you they will be much more willing to begin a relationship.

5) You need to be strategic if you want them to open up. The bottom line is aquarius is not the type to wear their heart on their sleeve and certainly not the type to express their feelings on their own. They will be turned away if you are insistant about wanting to know their feelings  (most times, they don’t even know their feelings!) So here’s what you do: be lowkey. Start an unrelated conversation and slowly bridge into what you want to know. Never out right ask aquarius what they’re feeling, but rather set the tone so that there’s an environment where an aquarius feels comfortable enough to make their emotions vocal. This will take time! Be patient. Be someone who is unjudgemental and unbiased. If they get the slightest idea that you will freak out about what they have to say, they won’t say anything at all.

Progressed chart (it progresses your natal chart forward signifying the evolutions of your personality)

Transit chart (it compares the current planetary positions to your natal ‘creating’ transit aspects. Transit planets will also be in a natal house. Transits are a great way to see a ‘forecast’ of which area you might have problems with during that time)

Persona chart (each planet will have its own persona chart, it’s based on after the planet completes the full circle/houses. It’s an in depth version of your planets)

Draconic chart (it dials your north node back to 0 degrees Aries creating your draconic/‘soul’ chart. It shows your purest self and your purest needs)

Solar return chart (it’s the chart made each year around your birthday when the sun goes back to the degree that it was in your natal chart. It can show which areas will be prominent that year)

Synastry chart (comparison between two charts, usually overlapping each other creating aspects between the two showing how the planets/people will interact with each other. Planets will fit into each other’s houses too)

Composite chart (it takes the two people’s planetary positions and finds a midpoint which is usually not a possible chart for someone to have. It’s a chart focusing on the relationship of the two and less on the interactions made)

Psychic receptivity and psychic faculties are primarily ruled by Pisces, Neptune, and the 12th House. But, they are also tied to Scorpio, the Moon, Uranus, Pluto, the 8th and 9th Houses.

Empathic abilities are ruled by these signs, planets, and houses which are ruled by Water.

Telepathy is ruled by Neptune and Uranus, and can be present especially when these heavenly bodies favorably aspect Mercury.

When you look at someone, there are some things you notice right away.  You say to yourself, 

“Hmm, she looks very kind and sweet-natured,” or “My, she looks butch.”

In her horoscope, the chances are good that these things have to do with the 1st house, which holds whatever a person wants to project.  It’s not that she isn’t kind, or butch, or competent, or whatever she’s projecting.  She probably is.  However, that isn’t necessarily her whole self.

What’s hidden behind that face?  To find out, we go to the 12th house.  In the 12th are the things you might learn on a dark night, around a campfire - or perhaps when you’re in bed after making love.  Or you might never learn them, because she doesn’t know them herself.  

Looking at your natal chart, the 12th house is the one just above the eastern horizon.  The eastern horizon (the rising sign, or ascendent) is the furthest point on the left, and the first house is the wedge going down from there.  The houses (pie-shaped wedges) go around the circle from 1 to 12 in a counter-clockwise direction, so the 12th is the one just above the 1st.  Many charts have little numbers close to the center of the wheel, telling you which house is which.

The 12th house represents the underpinnings of your life.  If you can imagine yourself packing a psychic suitcase before bidding all your friends in the other world goodbye and then sliding into the womb, then the 12th house would be the contents of that suitcase.  

In the womb, you’re sensitive to certain kinds of phenomena, and these phenomena reflect whatever you’ve got in your psychic suitcase.  After all, you’ve picked birth-parents and a birth situation that will help you resolve your last experience, whatever it was.  If you had a traumatic past life, then your new life will help you heal from that.  Likewise, it will be a chance to use the talents and skills that you developed then.

If you have more than one planet in the 12th, then you are working through a lot of past-life issues.  Twelfth-house planets are shadowy, but you are always aware of them on a subliminal level.  A 12th-house emphasis can mean spending a lot of time on a spiritual quest, or perhaps talking to a therapist, working out what’s buried within you, figuring out what to do about it.

A strong 12th house will often give artistic talents.  After all, the muse especially loves to visit those who are peering into the shadows, looking for buried truths.

In the old books, the 12th-house is called “the house of self-undoing”.  That’s because you often tend to ignore or repress what lies in your 12th house.  At the same time, you generally can’t help acting it out in one way or another - and so you often feel compelled in this area.  If you reject your 12th house planets, if you don’t admit that they’re part of you, then you can end up condemning yourself.  If you accept that they are you, you can learn from them.  And you will often discover that they have wonderful gifts to give you.  

If you’re looking at the horoscope of a potential or actual lover, her 12th house will explain some of her unconscious behavior.  You can encourage her to express these traits in a positive way, and you can love them in her (even if she doesn’t love them in herself).  And if you’re trying to figure out where you might have intersected in a past life, her 12th house planets might give you a clue.        

The Sun

If your sun is in the 12th, you were a leader in a past life.  You were very visible, and a great deal was expected of you.  (Your sun-sign will give you some clues about what made you famous.)  This sense of specialness continues while you’re in the womb.  Everyone is aware of you, waiting for you to emerge.  You may be awaited eagerly, or you may be notorious even before your birth, but you are definitely a force to be reckoned with right from the beginning.  

During this lifetime, it’s easy for you to take leadership positions, and to exert your authority, even when you don’t realize you’re doing it.  Often you show fierce independence, with a compelling need to do things in your own way.

The Moon

If your moon is in the 12th, you arrived with a lot of emotional baggage, and some of it probably has to do with the person who is your mother (in this life).   You may have loved and protected her in a past life, and so you were drawn back to be with her.  Or you may have been royally angry at her, perhaps deceived by her, and so you incarnated to get things squared away.  During your time in the womb, you are very conscious of her - everything she feels, everything she experiences.   During this lifetime, you respond to a great many things in an emotional way, even though you don’t always realize it.  You could be moody at times.  It’s not easy to get in touch with your emotional needs, but you can see what these needs are by looking at your moon-sign.  

Mercury

If your Mercury is in the 12th, you focused on ideas and theories in past lives. You may have been engaged in figuring out some scientific phenomenon, or counting how many angels dance on the head of a pin - and then your time was over, and you never did work it out.  So you arrived with a consuming intellectual curiosity, which may go in a single direction, or may branch out in different areas.  It’s often said that an unborn child can hear everything that is said in her vicinity, and this was definitely true of you.  

During this lifetime, you are still haunted by the need to know.  But sometimes you can over-intellectualize, reducing everything to an idea.  Communication is especially important to you, and you can sometimes be compulsive about it.  If you can’t share your thoughts and ideas, the frustration can be intense.  

Venus

If your Venus is in the 12th, you may have been a great beauty or a great poet in a previous life.  Your focus was on pleasure, and this could have meant the ecstasy of art, the excitement of sexual escapades, or the passion of a great romance.  You might have been a Juliet, or you could have lived happily for a lifetime with your lover.  Whichever it was, there was a sense of leaving before all your pleasures were done.  In the womb, you are very aware of the love - or the lack of love - in your new life.  

During this lifetime, you want love more than anything, but you can’t always admit this to yourself.  And so you can be compulsive about anything connected to pleasure, beauty and romance.  You can diet unmercifully, or even go in for plastic surgery.  You can go from one lover to the next.  But once you work through your insecurities in this area, you have a very deep love to give.  

Mars

If your Mars is in the 12th house, then you have a very butch shadow.  In a past life, you may have been a soldier, a martial artist, or someone who competed fiercely in the sports arena.  The 12th-house Mars shows quite a bit of jostling when you were in the womb, and it can mean that your mother had accidents, surgeries, or other crises during this time.  You felt that life was going to be a very physical thing.  

During this lifetime, you really need to express yourself on the physical level.  However, this isn’t always easy to do, and you may sometimes deny your will and your impulses, feeling that they’re not really “you”.  This often backfires, and you do rash things on impulse.  Mars is also the planet of anger, and you can squelch anger till it explodes, or until it makes you ill.  You have to find healthy physical outlets.  

Jupiter

If your Jupiter is in the 12th house, then you were a social force of some kind in a past life.  You might have been very rich or you might have had noble blood.   You were established in some way, a pillar of the community.  You made yourself pretty comfortable while in the womb, and your mother probably gets a lot of good medical care.  This could have meant doctors, or it could have meant aunts with herbal remedies, but there was a sense of abundance, and you tapped into this.

During this lifetime, it’s important for you to be part of the community.  Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and so you may have a tendency to overdo everything - for instance, starting an enormous number of projects, or spending more money than you have.  You’re always hungry for more, especially more social attention, and so you need to find a welcoming, warm community with which to share your enthusiasms.

Saturn

If your Saturn is in the 12th house, then you are dealing with a karmic loss of some kind. This is the position which shows most past-life suffering, and it can mean bringing regret, sorrow or guilt with you.  In the womb, conditions were a bit limiting, one way or another.  Your new family may have been poor, depressed, or over-burdened with responsibilities, and you picked up on this, and didn’t feel overly comfortable.

During this lifetime, you frequently return to an old sense of sorrow or deprivation. There’s some part of you that has trouble believing that you deserve to be happy, and so you can unconsciously sabotage your own projects and opportunities.  Once you work through your karmic trauma, forgiving yourself and others, your 12th-house Saturn gives you a great deal of wisdom.  

Uranus

If your Uranus is in the 12th house, you are influenced by a past life that was exciting, turbulent, full of shocking changes.  You might have been in the middle of a revolution, an earthquake, or a tidal wave.  In the womb, there continued to be some disruptions.  Your family may have been reeling from some sudden change, and you got the sense that things wouldn’t calm down anytime soon.

During this lifetime, you expect things to change, and you are always on your toes.  You have a lot of nervous energy, a tendency to suddenly and compulsively rock the boat.  It’s not that you don’t prize stability, but there’s a part of you that doesn’t quite believe in it.  However, your 12th-house Uranus gives you wonderful creative gifts, and so it’s important to find people and organizations who appreciate your innovative ideas.  

Neptune

If your Neptune is in the 12th house,  you were once a dreamer, a poet, a spiritual figure, or perhaps a drug addict.  You dwelt in the realm of the imagination, always attuned to other dimensions.  You may have experienced intrigues, illusions, deception, and confusion, and you arrived in the womb with some definite trust issues.  In the womb, too, it was hard to know what was what.  It could be that your mother drank or used drugs, or that she was exposed to other toxic elements in her environment.  

During this lifetime, you may find yourself dealing with a compulsive urge to escape from reality.  You can imagine a life in which there is perfect peace, beauty, love and joy, and it’s easier to live in your imagination than to stick your consciousness to the physical plane.  You have wonderful creative and spiritual gifts, but need to stay grounded enough to give them.  

Pluto

If your Pluto is in the 12th house, you dealt with some heavy power issues in a past life. Pluto is about the collective unconscious, and so you may have found yourself dealing with the shadowy elements of society - criminals, prejudiced people, crazed mobs, war hysteria, or other kinds of mass psychosis.  In the womb, you were aware that your family was marked by some deep inner divisions, perhaps issues of good vs. evil, or life vs. death.  

During this lifetime, you know yourself to be a survivor, but you are still conscious of deep inner urges which don’t seem to fit. Your psyche sometimes seems to be a Pandora’s box, full of every random need or desire known to humankind.  You may be afraid of your own power, but it’s important to realize that you possess more than the power to harm.  You also have the power to do great good in the world.   

Earth Moons remember their past through physical sensations. The smell of childhood home cooked meals, the softness of their first love’s lips, the feeling of the summer breeze that brings them to places they visited years ago.. They remember through what is tangible and comforting.

Air Moons remember their past through fact and analysis. Through pictures organized by date, comparing the struggles of the present with struggles from the past to relate the two, through using search engines and critical judgement to understand what they are feeling and remembering so closely.. to make sense of their upbringing. They remember through what they know to be true.
