:bugeyes: Wow. How long did it take you to learn how to erect charts?
37 years ago it took me about 6 hours poring over a Charles Carter book and the American Ephemeris to cast my own chart (of course). Doing the calculations by hand, using tech drawing skills I learned in high school and a polar graph chart paper that Dad flogged from work. These days it takes a few minutes plugging details into Solar Fire or Astro.com. Minderwiz is right saying that you had already given several details which enabled me to narrow things down. NY, NY wasn't that great a guess tho was it?
You're pretty close. April 7th, 1989 at 9:56 A.M. in Henderson, Nevada.
I had to do a bit of checking there. Solar Fire didn't automatically take daylight saving into account so it gave me wrong house positions. Astro.com did tho. I'm now on the same page.
Pluto is in my 5th house. To me it actually teeters on the edge of my 6th house, but I have been told it is firmly in my 5th. It is sextile Neptune and conj. Saturn. Sigh... again, I wasn't aware that had any affect because they were outers aspecting each other and not personal planets. :/
Each astrologer has their own biases. Mine is that everything affects everything else. To me, the influence of outers to personal factors is valid and worth investigating to decide whether you think it is relevant in your own assessment of your being. These assessments of relevance change over time too. Also you need a critical analysis of the opinions you have access to. If you can read an interpretation and say to yourself, "That works for me. It's truth resonates with the truth of my being." then you have a foundation to work from in the way you think about yourself. Years later you may look back at it and think "How dumb was I to think that. That's bullshit." but it's equally possible that the concept has endured the test of time and you can say "Yes. I have understood this part of my being and I can see where I have been able to use this faculty positively in my life."
I don't think anything squares my Chiron in my chart. My ASC conjuncts it, and then my Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars make aspects to my ASC. I'm not sure if that counts though.
Correct. The Chiron square was only in the provisional guesses I made. As above so below. IMHO, all those factors plus others will have an influence on how you project to others and how they perceive your personality.
In any case, I must have a lot of relationship karma. I try my best to see the patterns and learn in my relationships during and after they end, but it's just frustrating they end. I have Mars in the 12th, Saturn in the 7th, and Moon (11H) trine Saturn (trine that 7H stellium actually)
Beware of unconsciously sabotaging your relationships. Don't set up situations where your abilities for criticism are applied to the object of your affection or your beliefs about them hinder your honest expression of emotions. Be firm in your ideals of what you want from relationships but not too earnest. Take time to dream/meditate about the overall picture and the specific love-bubble that you are in when when a relationship is happening for you. Gemini rising can be perceived by others as facile and without substance. Sagittarius looks for answers to the big questions - express your opinions and engage in the debates but use the light-heartedness of Gemini and possibly the quirkiness of Uranus to not get too heavy or entrenched in your position.
My sage for Karma and relationships is Judy Hall: "Patterns of the Past", "Karmic Connections". For comparison: grupovenus.com, cafeastrology.com
Yes, I agree we always have our free will. Ah... I didn't know Pluto could indicate research, plain and simply. That makes so much sense! My 6H is ruled by Scorpio although Pluto itself is in my 5H.
Pluto represents for me an urge to delve deep. Into the common traits you find in your generation and how that affects you. Into the deepest facets of your being. Into the ways to reformulate and regenerate - to put in place new structures of thought and attitude which empower you to realise deep-held ideals. Pluto seen as some sort of ultimate malefic which is unstoppable in its destructive capability is such a negative view that I see no value in having such an opinion. So, Pluto doesn't necessarily indicate research but to use it's influence positively requires research, analysis, assessment and decision. The fact that you are looking into the why's of your relationships while Pluto transits your 7th house indicates to me that you are already engaged in that process. This transit is part of a cosmic environment which can help you. Astrology can be used as a tool of self-discovery and self-improvement. Use the tool.
Thanks for the inspiration.
You're welcome. All the best in love and light
