🔔 Leo Venus are scarily similar in behaviour to a Taurus Sun. They are big gift givers, need to be valued and appreciated and love luxury or everything that appeals to their five senses, much like Taurus.

🔔 Pluto in the 5th house or Sun in the 8th house person need to sacrifice their identity, personality in order to be in a partnership. That’s why they are more prone to lose themselves in a connection.

🔔 To really understand what you secretly fear in love and partnerships, you need to look at the sign over your 12th house.

🔔 Mercury and 6th house doesn’t always fully indicate your worries, Moon sign also shows what you worry about the most. However, you might be less vocal about these worries than with Mercury.

🔔 Libra Moon might think that people won’t love them if they are being difficult or show difficult emotion.

🔔 Leo Moons are really not that confident. Majority of times, they are scared they will be replaced or unnoticed.

🔔 Aries Moon always feels they are either too much or not enough.

🔔 Pluto in the 1st house experiences an ego and identity death, because they need to learn in this lifetime that they cannot be the person they invented. They are destroying who they used to be.

🔔 Pluto in the 12th house people need to face their hidden inner fears to avoid isolation and anxiety.

🔔 People obsess over Venus in the 8th house person, because they idealize them or are totally scared to lose them.

🔔 Gemini and Virgo MC are usually charming for how they speak, but it is more a professional mask. They tend to hide their real self.

🔔 Pisces Mars often attracts tension, conflict and disagreements that they didn’t cause or even start, it’s someone else’s drama and you are dragged in.

🔔 Mercury Neptune aspects tend to get a lot of unexpected insights that they just collect and store. Either about their situation or someone else. That’s why they are as wise and a learning sponge as a Sagittarius Mercury.

🔔 Sun in the 12th house feel neglected or misunderstood. That’s why they tend to attract people who want to “figure” them out or discover their real self.

🔔 Venus square Saturn can be so devastating in a Composite or Synastry chart. Either one person is setting walls and becoming more closed or is in waiting for the other person.

🔔 With Composite Pisces Mars or even Pisces degree (12, 24) Mars even they healthiest relationship dynamic can turn chaotic.

A lot of people don't identify with their ascendant. That's okay. And it might be because their Chart Ruler is steering their chart in a different direction.

The chart ruler is the planet that rules your rising sign (or ascendant). It tells you the moves you make in the world, underneath the style of your Rising.

Aries: Mars

Taurus: Venus

Gemini: Mercury

Cancer: Moon

Leo: Sun

Virgo: Mercury

Libra: Venus

Scorpio: Mars (and kinda Pluto)

Sagittarius: Jupiter

Capricorn: Saturn

Aquarius: Saturn (and kinda Uranus)

Pisces: Jupiter (and kinda Neptune)

(There's a lot of back-and-forth about traditional vs. modern rulerships, but that matters less for this post. We're going to go with mostly traditional, with modern rulers added on for a little flavor.)

Important Distinction

The Ascendant is the filter, the style, interface. It's how you move.

The Chart Ruler is the driver, the body, the animating part. It's the moves you make.

If your Ascendant is your "mask", the Chart Ruler is the person who picked it out.

The Ascendant might describe how you initiate your approach, but the Chart Ruler describes what you're actually trying to do.

Some Examples

You're a Taurus Rising but you feel restless, sharp and intense -- not slow, methodical and grounded? Check out where your Venus is in your chart -- it might be in Aries. If so, your moves might be careful, but the actions they take are a lot more intense than your Taurus Rising gives you credit for.

If you're a Aries Rising but you feel quiet, structured and methodical in your heart instead of brash and confrontational, check out your Mars placement. It might be in Capricorn. (In which case, congratulations, your Mars is exhalted.) You have a lot more stamina, forethought and resilience than your Aries Rising says you do.

If you're a Scorpio Rising but you're charming, bubbly and maybe a little bit scattered, maybe your Mars is in Gemini. That will change how your Scorpio tone plays out in lived reality. (Psst - check out what your Pluto is doing too. It'll show you how your Scorpio depth and intensity is directed and how it plays out. Maybe it's in Libra and you're the world's most amiable Gen-X Scorpio.)

The Ascendant is the hypothetical approach -- all else equal, how do you approach life compared to a different Sign on the horizon? The Chart Ruler is the actual reality -- how does your energetic approach actually show up in day to day life?

Conclusion

If you feel disconnected to your Rising Sign -- you're not wrong, and neither is astrology. You just need to look elsewhere on your chart for deeper answers. There's more to the story. Your chart ruler is you walking that story in your own way. Your Chart Ruler shows you how the Character in your Rising lives, moves and makes decisions.

Hi my dear, sure! 💜 let's dive deep...

❈ When you look at aspects in your chart, you need to check the degrees first. Aspects are calculated by the distance in degrees between two planets. They are not based solely on being in the same sign or house. Two planets in your chart are conjunct when the degree difference between them is small.

Ex: If your Sun is at 10° Taurus and your Mercury is at 12° Taurus, they are 2 degrees apart. That is a conjunction.

❈ If two planets are in the same sign but far apart in degrees, they are not conjunct. Sharing the same sign only means they express energy in similar ways. It doesn't mean they are directly connected.

Ex: If your Sun is at 3° Taurus and your Mercury is at 25° Taurus, they are in the same sign but 22 degrees apart. That is not a conjunction.

❈ Two planets can also be conjunct even if they are in different signs, as long as the degree distance is small. The sign may change, but the angular distance is what matters.

Ex: If your Venus is at 29° Gemini and your Mars is at 1° Cancer, they are in different signs but only 2 degrees apart. That can still be a conjunction.

❈ The same rule applies to houses. Being in the same house does not automatically create a conjunction. They still need to be close in degrees to form that aspect.

Ex: If two planets are both in your 5th house but 15 degrees apart, they are not conjunct. They influence the same life area, but they are not merging their energy.

❈ In your chart, the sign shows how that energy expresses itself in you. The house shows where it shows up in your life. The aspect shows how the planets interact with each other.

So if you are ever unsure, always check the exact degrees first.

Hope this was clear! 💜

Event chart:

Hello and happy Mercury day! In honor of this eclipse-supercharged Mercurial time, I’m going to take a bit to ramble about the parts of the current transits that I think impacted my chart, as well as the charts of my family members, in the context of an event that occurred on Saturday evening. 

To start with context, my mother (Sagittarius/Scorpio/Aquarius), step-father (Pisces/Libra/Scorpio), and youngest brother (age 4, Aries/Virgo/Taurus) were all involved in a fairly severe car accident. They were close to home, and it was a very sudden, freak accident where they were not the vehicle at fault. The wreck absolutely destroyed their car, and it is nothing short of a miracle that my mom and step-dad didn’t lose their legs or their lives in this crash. The only significant injury sustained, aside from plenty of brutal bruising, was my mom’s broken hand. 

To begin, I want to deconstruct which astrological signifiers are worth investigating out the gate. Due to the sudden and violent nature of the crash, Mars and Uranus immediately strike me as contenders at play. The proximity to home and impact on my family life points to themes in the 3H and 4H, though I believe the 5H, and 7H are also relevant areas from the perspective of my mom, as this affected her children and partner as well. While this analysis will be partially through the lens of how these transits affected my natal chart, I will also be interweaving pieces of the charts of the three relatives actively involved.

The first part that I want to address is a distinct and loud one: Saturday was the peak of Mars in Libra conjoining my 2H Libra Moon. What I found so interesting about this alignment is that Mars (a force of destruction) met up with the planet of nurturing that is so heavily associated with the mother, which is my Moon. It makes sense that Mars’ impact here was not directly on me, as much as it was on the woman who represents my Moon. In addition to that, the transiting Moon was in early Sagittarius, which is my 4H and the home of my mother’s Sun sign. The Moon was coming off a conjunction with my natal Chiron as well, and car accident trauma is something that has plagued me since I was young. So there’s this fascinating lunar connection here where I can see where an incident of violence could impact my mother, and what intrigues me even more so is that her husband and I share our natal lunar placement, only a couple degrees apart. So for him, the impact of Mars was even more direct and took place in his 12H, which tracks given the oppositional tension created within the 6H of health and wellness. The other noteworthy aspects that I saw with the transiting Moon’s placement in Sagittarius is not only that it was mere hours away from peaking at First Quarter, the final lunation before eclipse season’s chaos begins, it was also only a few hours off from its peak opposition to Uranus in Gemini. This creates a hard square to my brother’s Moon, in which the Sun is approaching its conjunction, and the impact of Uranus and the “sudden change” energy becomes amplified here. Just to top it all off, the worst injury was my mother’s broken hand, as the hands are ruled by the sign Gemini. 

To touch on the 3H impact, I do think it’s worth noting that my mom’s 3H is Aries-ruled, making Mars the ruler of the House itself. My step-dad’s 3H is Saturn-ruled (Capricorn), and my brother’s is Moon-ruled (Cancer). There’s so much overlap and connection between Mars, Saturn, and the Moon throughout the themes of the entire ordeal, as Saturn was riding out his final days in Aries before his retrograde took him back into Pisces the following day. So we have Saturn in a Mars-ruled sign, Mars in a sign-based opposition, and Mars is a strong through-line in my family’s astrology. My mother is a quadruple Scorpio (including her Moon) with an exalted Capricorn Mars, my step-dad is a Scorpio rising with Mars as a chart ruler, my brother is a triple Aries, and I am a triple Aries as well with a domicile Mars in Scorpio. So, needless to say, Mars transits are typically the ones that have a ripple effect, and it’s rare that something Martian occurs to only one of us. The event chart itself is also an Aries rising chart, meaning the accident is ruled by that detriment Mars in Libra, directly opposing the chart’s Ascendant. 

The final thing that I found distinct, less about the event itself, and more about the Uranian impact, is that all three of my family members have prominent Uranus influence in their charts. My step-dad and brother both have Uranus in the 1st House in fixed signs, and my mom has an Aquarius rising, with the modern ruler being her Uranus in Scorpio, part of her Mars-ruled stellium in the 10H. I just found this fascinating because Uranus has only been in Gemini for a couple months, so we have yet to really see what kind of impact this transit can have. With my mother’s 5H being Gemini-ruled, and having her baby with a Gemini Mars in the backseat, with all the lunar implications I discussed earlier, it just makes sense that this would be the first major Uranian incident. I think the only thing that would have made this more textbook Mars-Uranus would be if it were closer to the peak of the Mars-Uranus trine that we saw unfold in early August. The sign-based trine is still present, however, so my intrigue here still stands.

All in all, I see the influence of the Moon and the upcoming eclipses, Mars and his detriment run through Libra, and Uranus in its early stages of this Gemini transit as the key players in this event. Sudden, chaotic destruction, with the family matriarch being not only behind the wheel at the center of the disaster, but also being the main one to sustain injury, distinctly reflects what the planets have to show in the event chart, and as a transit chart against all of ours individually. Fortunately though, everyone is mostly unscathed and we’re all relieved that the outcome was this way, and that I’m not here writing about some dire 8H tragedy. Everyone, please, stay safe and stay vigilant out there, no matter the transit! Eclipse season is revving up and it’s in all our best interests to take care of ourselves and be cautious. If you read all of this, I appreciate you indulging me as I cope with the stress and fear in the best way I know how: astrologizing! 

1 South Node and North Node.

The Moon Nodes are always exactly opposite in the chart.

The South Node (also called Ketu) represents the energy coming from our past lives, or from our family/ancestry/genetic inheritance.. It is an energy we are familiar with and needs to be balanced by the opposite energy of the North Node.

The North Node (also called Rahu) represents where we are called, where we will gain the greatest satisfaction...provided we dare taking up the challenge and step out of the South Node comfort zone.

The Nodes are placed in opposite signs and houses as well. The meaning of the Nodes in houses is equivalent the the placement in the analog signs, for instance:

my South Node is in Aquarius and in the 8th house. My North Node is therefore in Leo and the second house.

My karmic path in sign is from Aquarius to Leo, and in house from the 8th to the 2nd, which is equivalent to a Scorpio to Taurus path. (As Scorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac and Taurus the second)

General meanings of the karmic paths.

Symbols are like magicians' hats: there is always more you can draw out of them. So whatever you can read will never be complete... however, roughly:

From Aries to Libra (South Node in Aries, North Node in Libra)

You are assertive enough, and maybe too much (Aries) Work on creating harmony with a partner (Libra)

From Taurus to Scorpio.

You know the value of life on earth and enjoy it. You may have become a little bit too attached to things or people. Learn that nothing is permanent and find deeper values.

From Gemini to Sagittarius

You know a lot, you communicate a lot, you adapt to circumstances. You may have become a bit too scattered and lost. Find meaning and coherence, knowledge and wisdom, unity.

From Cancer to Capricorn

In Cancer you belong... to a family, to a tribe, to a nation. Your sensitivity and emotional ties are strong. You may be too dependent on others. Break free from these ties, walk your own path. Take responsibility.

From Leo to Aquarius.

You are used to shine, you express yourself... or your ego. You give. It's time to learn to be a member of a larger group, a community, a city...without necessarily being the leader at all times.

From Virgo to Pisces.

In Virgo, you have paid attention to all necessary details. You serve. You're rational and efficient. It's time to remember the spiritual dimension.

From Libra to Aries.

You may have been compromising too much... You know how to maintain balance and harmony, but maybe the price you paid was too high. Claim your right to exist as an individual!

From Scorpio to Taurus

You've been confronted with the deep, dangerous, dark side of human nature. You've survived, you are a bit scarred though. Re learn to enjoy life on earth (I call this path the "post traumatic path)

From Sagittarius to Gemini

You've been seeking knowledge, wisdom, meaning. You may have become a bit dogmatic. Come back from theory to practice, communicate with people, adapt to circumstances...

From Capricorn to Cancer.

You are used to be responsible, important, successful. It's time to remember emotional needs, home, family, imagination, sensitivity.

From Aquarius to Leo

You have loads of ideas, you are a bit of a visionary, you belong to the great human family... It's time now to take centre stage and shine as a unique individual.

From Pisces to Virgo

You know the infinite worlds where there are no boundaries. You may be a mystic, a poet, possibly a scapegoat or an addict... Come back down on earth, become a little bit more skilled and rational and give your dreams some reality...

These interpretations are very general. I will never insist enough: the meaning of the astrological symbols can't be summarized in a few lines. The more we understand them deeply, the more we will be able to refine our interpretations.

2 The Regents of the Nodes

To know more about our karmic path, we need to look at the "regents". I'll give just an example: My own karmic path goes from Aquarius to Leo. Uranus is the planet that rules Aquarius. Therefore this planet, its placement in sign, house and its aspect will give more information about my karmic past.

The Sun is the planet that rules Leo, similarly, the position of the Sun in sign and house, along with its aspects, will tell more about what I'm called to do in this life.

My karmic path in house goes from the 8th to the 2nd. The 8th house is analog to Scorpio (the 8th sign). Pluto rules Scorpio. So Pluto in my chart will give more information about my past.

The second house is analog to Taurus (2nd sign) Venus is the planet that rules Taurus. Therefore, Venus in my chart, along with the Sun, talks about what I am here to do..

3 Black Moon Lilith

Black Moon Lilith is a very special energy. Through the sign and house, possibly aspects It points out an area of life where we have an ambiguous attitude, a craving for absolute perfection and possibly a rejection of the values associated. It can also show values that we may find sexually attractive. Its position will confirm or precise the challenges we are going to meet on our karmic path.

4 Special cases

When planet are conjunct to a node, they add there energy to the karmic path. For instance, if Mercury is conjunct to the South Node, it's energy is part of our karmic inheritance, and need to be balanced.

When a planet is square or semi square to a Node, it's energy is problematic. It can turn against ourselves, until we learn to master it better and use it as our best asset.

Analysis of a relationship between two people expressed as a unit, in other words, the nature of a relationship as a third entity. Signs are not really relevant, the angles and houses are, but I decided to include them in the interpretation.

(Chart calculated at astrotheme.com)

Ascendant in Aries – How the relationship is presented

There’s great passion and power to this unit, great outward expression of confidence and initiative ability. There’s competitiveness and an outward display of potency. Jupiter, the planet of abundance and freedom conjuncts the Ascendant, is indicating that the relationship is presenting as optimistic, faithful and adventurous. The relationship is heading into life with the outlook of expectancy, of a promising future. This unit harbors big and “larger than life” sized dreams of redemption seeing as Jupiter trines Neptune in the 9th. It’s through the exploration of the world, the universal meaning behind experience and the optimism of the relationship itself that the spark of divinity is discovered. Overall, this relationship rides on the principals of assertion, of generosity of higher learning, and openness to life.

Descendant in Libra – How the relationship interacts with that which is “other”

There’s diplomacy and an attitude of general civility when relating to others. There’s an understanding of differences and a need to find a common playing field, a baseline consensus in order to be able to cooperate effectively. There’s a pressing need to get down to the core of people’s motives, even if they may be dark. In order to find true cooperation and interactions with other people, some digging has to be done. No one ever reveals their true selves completely at first encounter which is why other people has to be gradually smoked out. There’s a suspiciousness and apprehension relative to others. The optimism that is presented by Jupiter in the 1st is pitted against the sharp and penetrative Pluto in the 7th. It could be that the relationship might be up against real power hungry energies and emotionally volatile interactions with people who seek to dominate.

Sun in Taurus, Moon in Scorpio – The conscious goals and the instinctual nature of the relationship

Stability and physical/material pleasantness is what is sought primarily. The goal for this relationship would be to become capable in terms of acquiring the things that are needed to live a comfortable life. This is especially emphasized since the Sun in not only in Taurus, the most material earth sign, but in the 2nd house of money and possessions as well. This relationship has the potential to generate wealth, to become solid financially. What is owned in terms of material value is a big focus. Physical means are standing out as the goal for this unit. Fortunately, the Mars drive of the relationship supports this, forming a trine to the Sun from the analytical and practical sign of Virgo in the 6th house of work. Saturn, the agent of time and discipline supports this goal as well, forming a sextile from the 12th house of the collective unconscious. However, the Sun is pitted against a Moon-Uranus conjunction in Scorpio in the 8th house. The unpredictable and intense emotional nature of the relationship doesn’t go well together with the ideal of stability and simplicity dictated by the Sun. Emotionally, the relationship is vulnerable to influences that lie beyond what can be controlled. Other people’s decisions, values and subconscious emotional attachments will greatly affect the emotional integrity and freedom of the relational unit. Although the identity of the relationship is derived from self-acquired resources, the emotional-physical sensitivities are squarely in the hands of “other people” and what they decide to support and not support. This is likely to be highly ambivalent since Uranus, the planet of change and revolution, is part of the mix. Unlike the solar goal, the emotions of this unit are extremely rebellious and intense. The polarization will give the relationship a double-sided nature, which might be disturbing and unsettling.

Mercury and Venus in Gemini – The interactive and social nature of the relationship

The relationship unit would be quite chatty and eager to communicate with the outside world, as is typical of a Gemini Mercury, talking is done for the sake of remaining stimulated and in constant mental movement. There would be a tendency to talk around thinks than getting down to the gist immediately, but it certainly covers more versatile and varied ground. To have a Gemini Mercury is like flipping a coin in the mind all the time, not only siding with one but with all perspectives in order to get a full picture. It goes without saying that this could make for confusion and non-cohesive patterns of thought. The unit might be perceived as highly communicative but relatively scattered and less condensed in thinking. Thought might fly all over the place at first but could become more and more organized after a while. It would take some time for the relationship to sort out all the facts of a situation or a topic because Gemini always starts with the multitude and then proceeds to put all the puzzle pieces in the right place. Since Mercury is placed in the 2nd house, the mental faculties of the relationship could be a source of money. Mercury is known as the god of luck, trades, travel and financial gain and undoubtedly the unit’s mobility and resourcefulness would facilitate their physical stability. The couple’s innate generosity and optimism would greatly benefit the Mercurial endeavors and vice versa, seeing as Jupiter sextiles Mercury from the 1st house. The couple has potential to find a sense of meaning in daily interactions and work. Mercury also forms a trine with Pluto, pointing to a capacity for focused and serious efforts of transforming the way thinking and talking is conducted. The couple would find that what is said and done has the capacity to change other people on a deep level, potentially even for generating money in the process. The same goes for the reverse scenario, that other people’s depth, power and penetrative insight might benefit the relationship unit on a mental and financial level. Mercury sits opposite Neptune, which generally means that there’s a polarization of the affective ideal of blissful refinement and the everyday movement of thinking and communication. There’s essentially a split between the yearning for experiential and existential redemption and the ordinary run-of-the-mill interactions. The relationship would be likely to pendulum swing between the higher and the lower, exploring philosophical, religious and theoretic visions that could possibly point to the love and the height of existence versus simply earning a living in a more ordinary and practical sense.

Creativity, openness, movement and quickness sit at the core of the relationship values. Nothing is more admired than intelligence and the ability to think. Excitement and activity may win over refinement because it’s in variety that beauty is found. The couple could get along, or at least interact with anyone, and would put high value on keeping the channel of communication open at all times. It would be considered a simple rule of conduct to always stay responsive and available. Overwhelm and fatigue could be an unfortunate consequence of this mode of being, but it would make the couple quite popular socially. To come off as interesting is of utmost importance. Since Venus sits in the 2nd house, there’s an emphasis on using the intellect to acquire possessions. The unit would probably find that material value is very important to an overall sense of harmony and balance. There’s a need to own aesthetic things, to be able to generate the means to have physical beauty in keepsake. A few special things won’t do, there has to be a variety and multitude of precious things lying around. Seeing as Venus is pitted against the volatile and intense Moon, the relationship might have trouble reconciling the mental values with the more primal and raw emotional needs. The airy, conceptual simplicity doesn’t go well together with the uprooting, instinctual intensity of the relationship. There’s a lot of emotion and disruption that seems to be caused by subconscious factors. The relationship is not safe emotionally for whatever reason but it doesn’t show on the surface. The values and preferences are carefully lived out separately from the lurking threats of the undercurrents of the relational unit. More than likely, everything is fine in terms of material welfare and comfort, but there are intense subconscious bounds on the psychic level.

Mars in Virgo – The drive and force of the relationship

Since the relationship has an Aries Ascendant the chart ruler is Mars. Taking initiative and facing obstacles comes naturally for this couple; it’s how they lead together. Since Mars falls in the sign of Virgo there’s a certain methodical and systematic approach to how things are done. There’s no room for making mistakes, things has to be done correctly, otherwise there’s no point. An analytical approach is what this couple prefer to use, which might make them less impulsive and forceful but more efficient and productive. Health is something that is advocated for, potentially with great passion. The couple could be quite nitpicky and fussy about staying on top of their daily lives, working like little worker bees to further their will to make everything as good as it can be. As a relationship, strength stems from following carefully designed processes for reaching defined goals.

Mars makes a few harmonious aspects to the Sun, Moon-Uranus, indicating that the driving force of the relationship is supporting the goals and needs of the unit, as well as fueling the motivation for change and improvement. However, there’s insecurity present whether it’s right to assert a separate will because it appears to conflict with the all-abiding unconditional realm of non-separateness. There might be quite a disturbing conflict between selfhood and oneness, seeing as Mars forms a square to Neptune. The relationship might find that it’s impossible to reconcile these two distinct principals. Everything that is done out of purely selfish motives contradicts universal love, but at the same time universal love seems to contradict selfhood. There’s a constant frustration present within the unit and probably a lot of insecurities and martyrdom connected to actions taken. Since Neptune is in the 9th, the couple likely has a lot of philosophical convictions that doesn’t translate to actions taken in daily life, seeing has Mars is in the “mundane” 6th house. Besides being on bad terms with Neptune, Mars also finds himself in opposition to Saturn. Saturn sits in the 12th house, indicating that the principals of discipline and concentration cancels the Mars drive out every now and then. The relationship would often end up in a locked, inhibited state, unable to access any confidence or motivation to move forward. The 12th house is the deep collective unconscious and it’s likely that the couple feels as if they’re existentially restricted and limited in some way, having to pay off some heavy karmic debt or just be haunted by chronic doubt that disables the unit with varying degrees of severity.
