compiled from my personal grimoire 

for example; having a fourth house stellium doesn’t automatically give you a cancer stellium or make you cancer dominant. although the houses all correspond to a sign, it does not mean they are the same nor do they represent the same things. having a stellium/dominance in a sign points to an excess of traits regarding said sign. having a house stellium points to increased energy and focus from you towards the area of life that house represents. for example, a cancer stellium person may be very sensitive, emotional, intuitive, nurturing/parent-like, etc. someone with a fourth house stellium will be very attached to their home, family/loved ones (increased importance on them), they may be sentimental and commonly dwell on the past, etc.

aquarius moons: creative/musical intelligence, “street smart”

for example, my 10th house is in gemini, and i have moon in the 10th. my dad is a cancer/moon dominant gemini. my 4th house is in sagittarius, and i have mercury/venus/mars in the 4th. my mother is a venus & mercury dominant sag moon libra sun. my third house contains the sun, my younger brother is sun/leo dominant (hugely so). my brother’s third house contains mercury; i’m mercury dominant & it’s my ruling planet. my brother’s 4th house is in libra and he has venus there, again my mom is a venus dominant libra.

hi!! yes, this is a normal thing dont worry!! it’s common for people to not relate to some of their natal chart placements. there’s quite a few reasons for this. to summarize, though, every single part of your chart influences another. this is especially true when it comes to something like aspects. 

for example, if you have the more passive sign of pisces as your rising, but you have an aries mars in your first house, you’re probably not going to relate to many of the passive and soft traits associated with pisces rising, bc this aggressive, bold, blunt mars placement totally throws that off. 

this is true with any other placement as well, so you may be experiencing that. also, if you have a stellium this could partially explain that too! another thing could be especially which house your moon is in, perhaps it’s sitting in a house quite different to the sign your moon is in? for example, maybe you have a pisces moon, but your moon sits in the 10th house, ruled by capricorn and saturn. this is going to roughen some of your softer, dreamy pisces moon tendencies: it’s going to make you a bit more focused and dependent on career and public image. on the other hand, lets say you had aries moon, and it was square or opposite saturn. this can create a person who had to grow up very fast and be mature, well spoken, etc at a young age; which isn’t much in an aries moon’s nature. 

sorry if this is a bit confusing i’m super bad at explaining this stuff :’’) but long story short, a lot of our placements are altered by our other placements, our aspects, etc. also, a lot of the traits that come with our placements we either grow into or grow out of! 

➯ i express myself through…

first house: my capabilities. i am a natural leader, i have a lot to say and i demand people to hear me. i am able to get things done and work harder than anyone else, and i want others to see me through such a lens. i often care too much what others think, however, my ego is most satisfied when i am praised by others for the work i do, the qualities i have, and for my success. i often express myself through my outward appearance (clothes, makeup, etc) and social media may be one of the most important self-expression platforms for me.

second house: my clothes, my belongings, my appearance. the way i physically come off to people is how i like to express myself. i place importance on expression through underrated art forms such as makeup, fashion, etc. i feel the worst when i am forced to dress or act in a certain way; i want to unabashedly be myself and desire praise for the way i present myself and hold myself together. i also like to express myself through the things i own, through my home and my comfort spaces.

third house: words. communication is essential to me. i am unfulfilled when i am not speaking what is on my mind, my opinions, my thoughts, my ideas. i excel in any sort of communicative platform: being an author, blogger, vlogger, etc., will benefit my ego and suit my personality the greatest. my mercury sign is likely a placement i heavily connect to, or want to show more.

fourth house: my home and comfort zones. i feel that my home, or wherever i am most comfortable (*your “home” aka comfort zone could even be your workplace or school desk), should be beautiful and well-presented. i express myself through the way i design and build up my safe spaces. music and art are frequent outlets for my expression. i feel discomfort when i do not have a safe, quiet space to isolate into to be my true, unfiltered self. my self-expression is often more private, but this is what i prefer.

fifth house: my hobbies. i am passionate about my interests, hobbies; they tend to be very central in my life and i feel drained when i’m not pursuing my creative interests. i likely place heavy importance on art and/or music, and express myself through such means. i feel empty when i am unable to commit time to my genuine interests and fear mundane routine of only work and no play.

sixth house: my words and my work. at heart i am a humanitarian, i am always helping others and this is how i express myself; through my love and commitment to building up others. communication is also of huge importance to me, i am a blunt person at heart and want to be able to speak my mind and opinions without filter or feeling guilty. when i cannot express myself and my opinions, or when i am criticized for the way i speak, write or my work; my ego takes the biggest hit.

seventh house: art, beauty, and love. i am heavily into art, likely creating but also appreciating. physical art forms: such as painting, and forms of art such as poetry, are likely central to my self-expression and feelings of fulfillment. i find it important to express myself via loving and caring for others; i feel unfulfilled when i cannot share my heart with others and soak in the beauty the world of art and poetry have to offer. romance is a huge expressive outlet for me.  

eighth house: my mind (intuition & knowledge). my mind is the most important thing to me, i am most proud of the things i know, the things i’ve learned, and the frequently intense intuition i have. i generally do not like to express myself and my personality publicly, but when i show off parts of myself, i am showing off the things i know and the power i hold. i want people to know i am not to be messed with, and that i know far more about them than they’ll ever know about themselves. my ego is the most satisfied when i am praised for my intensity, knowledge and abilities to dig deeper and sense out a room. i also frequently express myself through my work, always giving one-hundred and ten percent to everything i commit to.

ninth house: philosophy, growth, words. poetry, philosophy and photography are likely of huge importance to me. i feel the need to express myself through visual representation of myself and my life; and via well-crafted paragraphs containing my thoughts, ideas and opinions. growing as a person on my own terms and sharing that journey is of huge importance to me; travel is a form of self-expression to me and i feel unfulfilled when i remain stagnant in one place (mentally or physically) for a long period of time. to me, change & growth is self-expression as much as sharing an opinion is.

tenth house: my work and achievements. my goals, dreams and ambitions are the most important things to me. i set high standards for myself and for my success, which are nearly impossible to achieve. but the closer i get, the more fulfilled i feel. i am happiest when i am praised for my ambition, my skills, the hard work i consistently put in. i feel empty when i cannot meet my own goals and expectations, i must surpass the bar i have placed and prove to others i can do anything in order to feel satisfied.

eleventh house: music and art. music is of vital importance to me, i feel a need to learn instruments, to write music, to produce, to create art in many forms (drawing & music especially) and share these things with others. even if i am not necessarily musically or artistically inclined, i feel an extremely strong connection with music and art; i probably always make endless playlists to share with others, and am praised for my taste in music and art; this makes me feel the most fulfilled.

twelfth house: creative outlets. my mind is a whirlwind of intense energies, i am frequently scattered but i feel grounded when i am involved in a creative outlet. i feel most satisfied when i am able to express myself and share my feelings through any sort of creative outlet. this can range from graphic design to photography to creating music to painting and so forth; i must have a creative platform or i will not feel happiness. i do not care that my work reaches a large audience, i am happy with doing these things for myself.
