Pepe's Farm Grown Astrology Blog

like i joke among friends about avoiding placements or whatever, but when it comes to writing about the signs and about placements for posts or whatever i don’t think i could ever do them justice? because a placement can only be understood in the context of a chart.

i think… i just wish that we could be more cognizant of that, so more people could use astrology to understand themselves on a deeper level rather than relying on memes on a website to make them feel seen and understood

just to be clear this isnt me bagging on astro memes cuz they’re fun and i enjoy them. but i notice that the memes are the most popularly consumed astrological content i guess? and i just wish people were more open to astrology as a serious tool for understanding the self and others, rather than a frivolity

General notes:

Make sure you know about your “tools” before you start to avoid wrongly interpreting or missing something. These “tools” are knowledge of the basics/things like

the flat wheel

the elements

the sign’s, planet’s, and house’s keywords / archetypes

the modalities

rulerships

In an astrological chart, southern and sorthern as well as east and west are switched so south is up, north is down, west is right, east is left. (for A.1)

Make sure you have birth data that’s as accurate as possible. We’re talking birth certificate or biography accurate.

Clearly always feel free to add more as you please, but these things should be included to create a rough outline of any chart.

A) Overall Impression:

Are more planets in the southern (upper half) or northern (lower half) hemisphere of the chart? Are more in the eastern (left half) or western (right half) part?

Are there any interceptions/duplications? If so, where? 

Where are the angles?

Any obvious chart patterns?

Any big stellia?

B) Narrowing it down a bit - Sorting into categories:

How much energy is concentrated in a certain element, modality, and polarity?

How many bodies fall into angular houses/cardinal signs, how many into succedent/fixed and cadent/mutable?

How many bodies fall into fire houses/signs, how many into earth, air, and water?

How many bodies fall into an active/masculine house/sign, how many into a passive/feminine sign?

Are there any significant lacks of a certain category? Does the chart significantly lack a certain element’s, polarity’s, or modality’s energy?

How many aspects are present? Of what kind? How many conjunctions? How about sextiles, trines, oppositions, and squares?

C) Making it exact - Placement positions, major aspects, etc.:

What houses and signs do the individual planets and luminaries fall in?

What major aspects form between which planets?

Are any planets strongly afflicted or beneficially aspected?

What is the chart ruler and where is it?

What house cusps do the signs fall on?

Are any planets in retrograde?

D) Looking for details - Degrees, lords, rulerships, etc.:

What decans do the planets fall in?

Where are the lords of the houses seated?

Are any planets dignified or exalted? In detriment or fall?

Are any planets in an anartic degree?

Where are the rulers of certain placements seated?

What is the tightest aspect?

E) Delineation

Learning astrology takes a long time & sometimes it’s hard to know where to look. While I highly recommend buying actual books, some may not be able to afford them, or simply don’t want to or don’t know whether they want to spend their precious money on it. (Of course there are also a bunch of bloggers on here that will gladly help you out (myself included).)

Moon in Aries: You are an optimistic, enthusiastic, and willful person who has a great deal of passion for nearly anything you put yourself through. You need action and spontaneity in your life and you tend to live in the moment. As a result, you have a hard time telling the difference between your needs and your wants. Challenging, clever, and headstrong, you take a very personal approach to everything and make a strong impression on everyone else. You’re not a person who broods or holds grudges, preferring to look towards the here and now- making you very open and self-expressive. 

Moon in Taurus: You’re not hot-headed, you’re level-headed. You’re not impulsive, you’re deliberate. The best word to describe you is relaxed, for your emotional nature is steady and reliable. Unlike others who might dream their life away, you have a practical nature and are primarily interested in the here and now. You’re naturally a tactile person with a heightened sensuality- and you’re very in touch with your five senses. You tend to prefer comfort and stability over unpredictability, and you feel best when you can provide material security for yourself and loved ones. You’re a gentle person at heart, and can be very kind and generous, though stubbornness is one of your biggest faults- change is quite uncomfortable for you. 

Moon in Gemini: You’re a very curious person and because other people genuinely intrigue you, you are quite sociable and friendly. Talking, listening, or thinking for you is as natural as breathing and you need For you, your own emotions might be an enigma as you tend to lead with your heart instead of your heart. As a result, you may go through very volatile mood swings, leaving you quite irritable. Gemini moon prefers to deal with any problems by talking or venting. You have a very fast-paced mind, and ideally, you are humorous, charming, and intelligent.

This moon sign likes the feeling of keeping their life in control, which you seek out through set routines. You enjoy keeping busy, for you have a deep need to be helpful and feel appreciated. Due to your shyness, you can come across as rather reserved and aloof, but underneath this pretense is a wholesome personality and a heart of gold.

Moon in Scorpio: You are deeply affected by your powerful emotions, which can be all-consuming for you. Your feelings can swing wildly between highs and lows for you, creating overwhelming crises which result in either destruction or transformation.

Though this is not the easiest position for the moon to be in, it is a very rewarding moon sign. You like honesty, no matter how brutal it may be, for you like to get to the heart of the matter. This trait gives you an uncanny understanding of other people and their motivation, as well as strength, character, and ambition.

Moon in Sagittarius: You have a very deep longing for adventure, whether it’s through the outdoors, travelling, learning, or simply having new experiences. You tend to have a very positive outlook on things, and even in difficult situations, you don’t lose your sense of humor, able to poke some fun at yourself and others.

This moon sign tends to go through many extreme ups and downs emotionally, despite their normally cheerful outlook. You can be quite enthusiastic and independent, making you quite restless and always on the search for something new.

Moon in Capricorn: On the surface, you seem calm, cool, collected, and competent. In reality, however, this is simply a veneer to hide your sensitivity. You have a tendency of repressing your heavier emotions for fear of losing control.

This moon sign tends to be quite intelligent as well as ambitious, organized, and responsible. You’re a capable and dependable person for you view things realistically and plan ahead. You have a dry but very amusing sense of humor, and once you’ve opened up to someone, you show your loyalty and dedication.

You have a great deal of pride, so you dislike showing your deepest emotions, fearing vulnerability.You are a natural thinker and observer, and though you can be very friendly, there is another part of you that loves solitude.

Moon in Pisces: This moon sign gifts someone with a heightened sense of intuition and developed imagination. You’re a naturally empathetic person who is extremely compassionate, enabling you to pick up the feelings and thoughts of others easily. Genuinely caring and kind-hearted, you can easily “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.” You experience deep, almost overwhelming emotions and have a rich inner world and are usually highly creative. You’re a dreamer- idealistic and romantic- and often wear rose-colored glasses because you find the world quite harsh. You are very much a free spirit, refusing to conform or blend in to hide your colorful personality.

compared to the rest of the planets, Venus spends the least time in retrograde, so its effects may be felt very strongly

balance your budget, assess your finances, and wait until the retrograde is over to make any major purchases

giving and receiving love/affection may be difficult, so it’s time to find compromise in your relationships

old lovers may come back into your life for a brief period, or you may relive experiences with former lovers

the moon sign is so important.  it’s the first thing i want to mention to people learning about astrology, because although your chart is much like a jigsaw puzzle, your moon sign is one of the biggest pieces.  much like the sun sign, it makes up a vast amount of who you are.  your moon sign rules over your emotions, your impulses, and the deepest, most personal version of you.  your sun sign is who you are when you’re in your element, most comfortable, around the people you trust.  your moon sign is the inner workings of you every single day.  the decisions you make, the way you perceive your emotions, and your viewpoint on the world are all products of your moon sign.  so learn a bit about yourself!

☽ moon in aries ☾ : if your moon is in aries, you’re quite a character!  passionate, impulsive, and excitable, you are fast paced and see nothing as impossible!  you’re bound to have very strong emotions, be them good or bad, and you let them rule your every decision (though your decisions can hardly be called decisions; you just do what you want).  nothing is ever boring with a moon in aries around! good qualities: passionate, spontaneous, ambitious, optimistic bad qualities: impatient, moody, hot-headed, dramatic

☽ moon in taurus ☾ : if your moon is in taurus, your personality can be best described as warm.  you are affectionate, patient, and kind, and you’re a slave to routine.  you want every day to be predictable, because you’re most comfortable following a pattern!  your love for your family, close friends, and partner is gentle and unwavering, and you will stick by the people you care about through thick and thin. good qualities: kind, loyal, frugal, fair bad qualities: stubborn, materialistic, unforgiving

☽ moon in gemini ☾ : if your moon is in gemini you’re one of the most fast-paced moon signs.  sociable, funny, and friendly, you’re much like aries in your impulsiveness, but unlike the fire sign which is unwavering, you’re an ever-changing person.  you probably find yourself taking on traits of those around you, and constantly reinventing your style, because you can’t stand being the same person every day! good qualities: interesting, funny, organized, intelligent bad qualities: noncommittal, restless, rude

☽ moon in cancer ☾ : cancer moons are the most in-touch with their feelings of all the moon signs.  if your moon is in cancer, you always know what you’re feeling, and always know what the people around you are feeling as well.  you have great intuition, and that combined with your maternal nature makes you a wonderful friend, partner, and parent. good qualities: caring, empathetic, loyal, nurturing bad qualities: pessimistic, insecure, finicky, self-absorbed

☽ moon in leo ☾ : if your moon is in leo, you’re incredibly generous. you express your emotions by giving all you can to others, especially those you love. you enjoy showering those around you in gifts, compliments, and affection, but you expect to be treated the same! you love to help others, and give some of the best advice. you feel your best when surrounded by people who care about you, and probably hate being alone.  good qualities: organized, loving, generous, responsible  bad qualities: dramatic, needy, bossy, materialistic 

 ☽ moon in virgo ☾ : if your moon is in virgo, you’re obsessed with detail and simplicity all at once.  you like to keep a routine that’s to a t, but prefer to walk through life without doing anything incredible.  you’re happy just blending in with the crowd, and doing small things to make a difference!  you show your love in tiny gestures, like packing someone’s lunch or doing their laundry, and prefer not to get too sappy about it.  you’d rather not make a big splash about anything! good qualities: reliable, organized, selfless bad qualities: insecure, withdrawn, apathetic

☽ moon in libra ☾ : if your moon is in libra, you want someone by your side at all times.  you feel most comfortable when you’re in a relationship and quite insecure when you’re alone.  you usually want everything to be perfect, almost unrealistically so, and you stress a lot about the little things.  you have great social skills and likely lots of friends, and love being surrounded by them. good qualities: adaptable, charming, sympathetic bad qualities: overindulgent, indecisive, dependent to a fault

☽ moon in scorpio ☾ : if your moon is in scorpio, you’re intense in everything you do. from your interests to your relationships to what you eat for dinner, everything is a big deal. you probably like horror, mythology or astrology, and take great interest in the strange and the unknown. you have a constant thirst for excitement, and if there is none, you’ll create it. your presence is unmistakable. good qualities: passionate, charismatic, ambitious, complex bad qualities: possessive, dramatic, hot-tempered, may be disloyal

☽ moon in sagittarius ☾ : if your moon is in sagittarius, you are a free spirit. a sagittarius moon loves adventure, excitement, and change in their life. if any sign is likely to be a modern-day nomad that lives in a camper and crosses country, it’s a sagittarius moon. a sag moon living a conventional life is the type to pick you up at three a.m. to take you to mcdonald’s. they can’t stand doing things the same way twice. good qualities: fun, fast-paced, spontaneous, passionate bad qualities: irresponsible, flighty, rude, unreliable

☽ moon in capricorn ☾ : if you have a capricorn moon, you are an old soul. you’re practical and constantly striving for success, and you’re so driven that you’re bound to get where you want to be. emotions are not your strong suit, and many capricorn moons may remain single throughout their life, simply because they’d rather worry about themselves. reserved but not selfish, a cap moon is not very social. good qualities: ambitious, intelligent, logical, even-tempered bad qualities: insecure, unaffectionate, anxious

☽ moon in aquarius ☾ : if your moon is in aquarius, you march to the beat of your own drum. an aqua moon feels set apart from others, and tends to act as an outsider looking in; they don’t believe anyone can truly understand them. they’re funny, independent, and kind, and their intuition and observance makes them some of the best therapists, case workers, and even lawyers. good qualities: independent, intuitive, idealistic, funny bad qualities: egotistical, moody, distant
