![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() the conscious mind sun ~ moon ~ mercury ~ venus ~ mars ![]() ![]() ![]() I am will ~ heart ~ ego ~ vitality ~ essential self The Sun is the centerpoint of consciousness we call 'ego'. It's the core of self-identity that casts its light over the whole personality. Planets in aspect to the Sun are supercharged and prominent and planets in conjunction to the Sun are the most prominent, as they merge with the Sun. For example, Sun conjunct Venus heightens grace & charm and these souls know just what they want. Add Mars to the mix, a triple conjunction of the will, desire & drive, makes for highly magnetic souls determined to attain their dreams. Aspects to the Sun indicate the early experience of father that shapes the self-identity. And as you can imagine, a Sun/Venus/Mars conjunction indicates a highly indulgent daddy. Childhood experience in general determines if the aspects expand or contract. And the sign the Sun occupies shines its elemental color throughout the personality. [fire earth air or water] ![]() ![]() ![]() I feel emotion ~ intuition ~ instinct ~ habits ~ memory ~ bodily function The Moon is the seat of emotion, memory, intuition & instinct. Planets in aspect to the Moon influence the emotions and indicate the early maternal relationship, and later to females in general. For example, Moon opposite Pluto is a polarization between emotions and divine will, indicating an early power struggle with mother. In a man, these feelings will be projected onto romantic relationships. The sign the Moon occupies colors the emotions with elemental light. [fire earth air or water] ![]() ![]() ![]() I think intellect ~ reason ~ discernment ~ perception ~ communication Mercury is reason & logic, how you process your surroundings and organize & express your thoughts. Mercury is never more than one sign from the Sun and when they share the same sign there may be a singlemindedness of the will. As with all the planets, aspects to Mercury enhance or inhibit its frequency. For example Mercury in aspect to Jupiter expands & uplifts the mental processes and the impulse to communicate; Mercury in aspect to Neptune enriches the mental processes with deep imagination; and Mercury in aspect to both Jupiter & Neptune is common in storytellers and, well, big fat liars. And the sign Mercury occupies gives it elemental color. [fire earth air or water] ![]() ![]() ![]() I desire desire ~ magnetism ~ creative/procreative ~ attractiveness ~ charm ~ pleasure Venus is the longing for an ideal. It's desire and attraction, receptivity and romance. And while lovers come & go, creative self-expression keeps the fruits of Venus sweet. And it's all yours, no broken hearts or morning regrets. And if your creation isn't what you were striving for, it's a breeze to refine or find a compromise. Try that in a romance with a full-on narcissist and all you create are more tears. Planetary aspects indicate early programming and planets in aspect to Venus enhance or inhibit its beautiful light. For example, Venus & Saturn in a harmonious trine develops patience & caution towards what you desire; Venus & Saturn in a stressful square develops an expectation of disappointment. The sign Venus occupies gives it elemental color. [fire earth air or water]< ![]() ![]() ![]() I assert drive ~ assertion ~ physical/sexual strength ~ force ~ competition Mars makes love & war & whatever else involves the willful assertion of energy. Bodily motion is Mars in action and aspects to Mars modify its physical & sexual force & vice-versa. For example, Mars conjunct Moon lends force to the emotions, while the Moon softens Mars' edges. Mars square Moon agitates emotions, while the emotions agitate the expression of force. Mars square Moon souls are tightly wound balls of energy who may naturally gravitate towards competitive sports. The sign Mars occupies gives it elemental color. [fire earth air or water] the subconscious mind jupiter ~ saturn ![]() ![]() ![]() I expand aspiration ~ joy/faith ~ optimism ~ expansion ~ generosity ~ understanding Jupiter is aspiration, optimism, benevolence & faith. Jupiter in aspect to other planets lifts & expands their frequencies. Jupiter seeks knowledge, truth and understanding and awakens the adventurer within. A Jupiter aspect is generally a blessing whose only downside may be overenthusiasm. For example, Jupiter in aspect to Mercury makes an enthusiastic communicator, but nobody wants rolling eyes at the chatterbox, so watch your content & pacing. And conscious planets are significantly more affected by aspects from unconscious planets than the other way around, because the unconscious is dominant - 90% dominant! The sign Jupiter occupies colors its expression. ![]() ![]() ![]() I restrict discipline ~ doubt/fear ~ purpose ~ effort ~ temperance ~ contraction Where Jupiter is benevolence, Saturn is tough love. The Inner Critic brings limitations, restrictions & ruthless self-analysis. Saturn brings a sense of lacking or doubt and at its best the determination to overcome it. Saturn is the Reaper of past actions or inactions, whether or not you remember what you sowed. And you can patiently dismantle the resulting obstacles or cover them with defeatist graffiti as a monument to failure. You're free to see obstacles as opportunities, or not. All planets in aspect to Saturn acutely feel its contraction, and Mars may feel it the most. For example, Saturn in hard aspect to Mars [square, quincunx or opposition] indicates early suppression by an authority of the will to act, and possibly physical or sexual abuse. Chronic procrastination is one of the milder patterns that may result, as it just feels safer not to act. The positive side of Saturn in any aspect to Mars is a strong determination to prevail against restrictions. And analyzing your own map enables you to consciously alter subconscious programming that may not work for you. And the sign Saturn occupies colors its expression. [It's believed Earth is Saturn-ruled. Some say Satan, but that's just a bad rap] the unconscious mind uranus ~ neptune ~ pluto ![]() ![]() ![]() I expose divine mind ~ ingenuity ~ independence ~ revelation ~ [r]evolution Uranus is the divine mind that gives rise to [r]evolution. It's Awareness with a capital A and the 'genius frequency' common in the charts of big thinkers. Uranus gets to the logical core and jolts with sudden revelation. Uranian types are ahead of their time and driven to disrupt the status quo. In its highest expression Uranus inspires collective progress, but resistance in those who dwell in fear. In its lowest expression Uranus wreaks havoc & chaos. Aspects & early experiences indicate the direction it's inclined to go. A prominent Uranus shatters crystallized perceptions one way or the other, and when resisted a bigger tsunami awaits. Change is inevitable and awareness and conscious direction obviously lead to the best results. Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius, the waterbearer of revelation & technology ushering in the new age. Uranus inspires inventors and entrepreneurs to think in new ways, because that's what Uranus is all about. And the sign it occupies colors its expression. ![]() ![]() ![]() I inspire divine inspiration ~ imagination ~ escapism ~ creativity ~ transcendance Neptune is divine inspiration and soaring imagination and its Purpose is enlightenment & transcendence. Neptune is Creative with a capital C and the frequency of artists & healers. Music is its universal language and healing sound is Neptune-in-action. Neptune awakens the spirit that longs to return Home to Paradise. Drugs enable a seductive sneak peek, but some lose their bearings in pursuit of Nirvana and the 'real world' falls to ruin. Neptune's highest expression is creative self-expression that inspires artists, poets & healers to the benefit of humanity. Planets in aspect to Neptune are touched by its magic, so if your Neptune is in aspect to conscious planets, there's great potential to bring out its creative & healing magic. With the harder aspects [square, quincunx or opposition] beware of seductive deceptions, in others or yourself. Neptune & Pluto have been in a facilitative sextile for most of the last century - a collective opportunity to enlighten & transform humanity? The sign Neptune occupies colors its expression. ![]() ![]() ![]() I transform divine will ~ insight ~ regeneration/degeneration ~ transformation Pluto is divine will & insight and its Purpose is empowerment & transformation. Pluto is Power with a capital P and the mythical Phoenix energy, the will to rise from the ashes & begin again. Pluto is explosively intense and purposeful and never easy, but always effective. In aspect to conscious planets, Pluto lends a potent strength of will & emotional force that when unleashed can overwhelm, so temperance is key. Pluto in aspect to conscious planets, especially Sun or Moon, indicates a deep sense of powerlessness in childhood that grows into a determination to become master of your destiny, or die. Pluto has profound creative & destructive power and the sign it occupies colors its expression. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() THE CONSCIOUS MIND: sun ~ moon ~ mercury ~ venus ~ mars will ~ emotion ~ intellect ~ desire ~ drive The surface experience of life ![]() ![]() THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND: jupiter ~ saturn expands ~ contracts Records & programs ![]() ![]() ![]() THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND: uranus ~ neptune ~ pluto divine mind ~ divine inspiration ~ divine will Knows all & guides your eternal spirit ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() CONJUNCTION: 0°: integrating; strengthening SEXTILE: 60°: facilitating; balancing SQUARE: 90°: frictional; stressful TRINE:120°: harmonizing; mellowing QUINCUNX: 150°: driving; frustrating OPPOSITION: 180°: polarizing; unbalancing [0°-9° orbs of influence] You'll come to recognize these patterns in time: ![]() A brief description of each: Grand Sextile: A rare pattern; also known as the 'Star of David' it contains other patterns within it and is highly creative, constructive and beneficial.
