Musings on Astrology

3. Can you explain what having a stellium in the 5th house (venus, uranus, neptune and saturn) mean? thank you

1. With a venus and mars trine ascendant, how you express your desires and motives are immediately visible to other people. This usually indicates that others respond very well to your self-expression, and may find you to be attractive and magnetic as a result.

2. Jupiter in the 8th deals with matters of inheritance (think of how Jupiter expands whatever it touches, and 8th house at times represents inheritance as well as taboo/occult topics) so when I think of Jupiter in the 8th, I think of a person with expansive and open-minded views towards what’s considered “taboo” subjects, or you’re a person who’s deemed as a guru of sorts for others regarding these themes. In matters of inheritance, this could mean wealth through family or spouse (jupiter is connected to the spouse). Mars in 9th house is connected to spiritual/metaphysical subjects, as well as long distance travel and higher education. Your ambitions may be directly related to these themes, so you may be a person who thrives when traveling or studying metaphysical/spiritual topics. May also be inclined to mediumship.

You may be deeply inquisitive and insightful when it comes to metaphysical and abstract topics. Interest in higher learning with the potential to innovate and lead in your chosen field of study. This is an ultimate go-getter placement paired with a leo rising, so it may have felt like you’ve had a spotlight on you since birth (and you can revel in this as well). 

People with their Sun in Aries consistently find themselves in situations where others are either inspired by them or intimidated. Because the Sun is exalted in this sign and Aries is ruled by Mars, they constantly find others are competitive towards them. They are not meant to dim their light, the Sun demands that they be seen. As the first sign of the zodiac, they are usually placed in positions where they are forced to lead–they are the pioneers. 

People with their Chiron in the 1st house usually have a visible scar or birth mark on their face. 

Jupiter aspecting the Sun or Ascendant (especially in a harmonious aspect:  trine, sextile, sometimes conjunction) denotes the native with ease and likeability in social interactions. They naturally exude optimism and warmth. Others also feel as though the person acts as a “lucky charm” ; luck and opportunity gravitates to them, and even being in proximity to the native increases others’ luck. 

A person with Venus aspecting mars has a natural charisma and sensuality to them. However, those with venus aspecting mars in a negative/tense aspect (opposition, square, sometimes conjunction), are often oversexualized or shamed for their expression at a very early age. 

Those with Neptune on the ascendant (neptune aspecting the ascendant or in the 1st house) appear aloof and otherworldly to those around them. It’s as if they are a distant cloud, and if you try to reach out to touch them they will disappear. 

If none of your planets sit in certain houses, that means that your soul already learned the lessons/themes tied to those houses in a past life. For example, having no planets in the 10th house (especially inner planets) means that matters involving legacy, reputation, and career are not a central focus for the native in this lifetime. Alternatively, this could also mean that the themes associated with the house are approached with ease by the native.
