Natal Chart Placements

Moon Harshly Aspecting Mercury

(Square/Opposite/Quincunx)

This creates a tension that is subtle but insidiously detrimental to the native and their loved ones. Any challenging aspect is surmountable and only part of a whole but this aspect always gives me the shiver. Moon represents emotions, needs, true feelings, and the inner experience of the individual, Mercury represents how one communicates, rationalization and logic skills, when these two planets do not have at least a neutral flow of energy what is said and what feels can be dichotomous. At worse this persons emotions if strong may adjust the reality to fit their narrative, lying to lovers’ and friends may become habit in order to preserve one’s mental wellbeing, avoid hurting of others’ or simply make their live’s easier even if momentarily. They may have a hard time verbally asserting their needs/feelings, knowing their true needs/feelings, or understanding their emotions and how it affects their understanding of events. This all can be amplified by Neptune/Pluto aspecting either planet or dominant in the chart. I’ve observed these natives to totally (and conveniently) misremembering happenings and occurring (when giving a benefit of doubt, when not perhaps simply just lying) and over time believing the records they have concocted as one would any neutral memory beyond a shadow of doubt. With maturity and positive influences in the charts of these natives these tendencies will (hopefully) subside.

Mercury in Taurus

Mercury in Taurus has an innate simplicity and eloquence that makes even their most controversial jokes and statements palatable, at least in the moment, if negatively reacted to, it takes a reflection away from the Taurean Mercury, and this dissection rarely directly comes back to the subject. They are deeply intellectually involved with the sensual, most of the artists I know have this placements and their true intelligence lies in their ability to perceive concepts and subsequently portray them in their respective art forms.

Harsh Moon Pluto and Saturn Aspects Square, Opposition, and Conjunct

Moon closely harshly aspecting Saturn and Pluto to me is the saddest thing to see in a natal chart, it operates like Capricorn or Scorpio moon (Moon’s place of Detriment and Fall) but simultaneously amplifies these planets’ qualities and power, I don’t know anyone who didn’t have an abusive, neglecting, and severe mother with this placement, and subsequently these natives have some incredible dark and self sabotaging coping mechanisms, difficulties with emotions and self esteem and attachment issues. Our mothers are our first human connection from the womb onward, their sadness, malice, and frustration can be so engrained within us, addressing and healing these complexes may take an entire lifetime. Whether their inner critic is simply the entirety of their inner monologue (Saturn) or the inner monologue is driven by paranoia, chaos, negative energy, sensitivity, and its worst residual trauma from sexual and emotional abuse (Pluto) this person is someone who will replicate the patterns of a cold and isolating childhood with their behavior and seek relationships that reaffirm their dark self concept.

Capricorn Moon

Capricorn Moons, even with extroverted, water or fire sun signs are very good at dismissing the experiences of others, often because they are from homes where their own emotional experiences were dismissed by their primary caretakers. (Gaslighting at its worst can take place) It is often the mother that is callus, cold and uninterested indulging the child in its needs or feelings.  There is a hardness they have internalized that prevents them from being vulnerable and uncomfortable in the face of others authentic vulnerability.  They can have dichotomous personalities that leave more intimate friends uneasy with them as their emotions can lead to unpredictable coldness based on their own internal struggles.

Virgo Moon

Virgo moons I have found are similar in this way but are more self aware, able to pivot and adapt to maintain harmony in their relationships, provided they are not feeling especially insecure or undergoing their own sort of crisis in which they can be even more cruel if prodded. Their mercurial nature gives them a more intellectual understanding of situations and they can verbally rationalize the reduction of others’ pain. Their upbringing may have been in a very Virgonian house hold that did this too. If they have a fire sun, they might use this knowledge only on others, but if it’s in  water or earth they will also disregard their own experiences with the same scrutinizing eye. Much of what they feel and think doesn’t leave their internal monologue but that monologue can be as cold and cutting as any they give out. If they have a fire sun people particularly underestimate their intelligence, cold and untethered judgement. Fire sun, Virgo moons may have a public and private face that can be extremely duplicitous, presenting as carefree and bubbly but underneath their emotions can be seething in a self righteous mental loop. 

Libra Rising Men

Libra rising men, at least the heterosexual ones I know, prefer the company of women, they defer to the social hierarchies of women, and although they have their own difficulties with them, are predominantly friends with women, the alternative being other men which they find unrefined, vulgar, and at some times truly just their competition in their female dominated world. They are good listeners, seldom perform any masculine chest pounding, and seek and generally receive the approval of women in the work place and friend groups. When they have Virgo placements, they are particularly concerned with beauty, order and presentation but do not project or need others to participate in these as rigidly as they do. They also struggle to refuse anyone anything, set high standards for themselves interpersonally, and are very unlikely to neglect anyone they have committed to romantically or platonically.

Pisces Moon

Pisces Moons can be tediously unconcerned with the real world, unable to assert themselves in meaningful ways to the detriment primarily of those around them. Because of their ability to peer into the collective conscious and pick and choose more vague terms to dwell on, their close friends and partners enable them in their pursuits and out of admiration more than pity, pick up their slack. Their empathy although driven to the more universal and spiritual realms rarely soothes or protects the consciousness of the people that love them and they may not notice the suffering of their children or family because it is too personal and ugly and often stem from negligence of their own selfish nature. They don’t see themselves as actors in a concrete world but sacred vessels for some higher vision, above more mortal and attainable concerns. When not involved in a structure that holds them accountable they see themselves as simply doing their best and perpetually victimized by the unfairness of what society values, reconciling issues with them will be a game of concession and disregard for one’s own issue if a relationship is desired to last.

Leo Moons

Leo moons just have “it.” Leo moons are the people that despite whatever they have going on insecurity or otherwise, live to be their friends hype guys. If a Leo moon decides to love you, consider yourself one of the lucky ones cause when a Leo moon is well developed, you’ve made the best friend you’ll ever have, they are loyal, devoted, and shine naturally and without effort, leaving them capable of truly appreciating the gifts and talents of others, empathizing without an agenda, and pride themselves in being good to their loved ones. They don’t need to be your best friend in public but they love to know in private that they are your favorite, and being the favorite is something that just comes naturally to them. Don’t take them for granted if you don’t feel understood by them because of their lack of jadedness, when you hit rock bottom or are in a crisis, you don’t want your friend that can’t get out of bed, you’re going to want this person to help you, and you’re in luck because they will with no expectations of you returning the favor, although you should, because if these people are ever in need, rest assured they are not crying wolf.

Leo Rising

Leo Risings have “it” too, but in a flashier more superficial way. They can love and adore others, and and they have the Leo way of making you feel loved in a way that you will feel in your bones, an attention that radiates and can be addictive. They are more prone to insecurities and attention seeking than the Moons or Suns, they attract the limelight consciously and subconsciously and are hyper aware of their influence in the world and social media. Want to dress well? Want to be have that “it” factor? Ask a Leo rising or rather just emulate them, they may not want to recognize their Leo nature or power especially if they have introverted sun or moon signs, but that won’t stop them from cultivating it and exuding it. Their flaw is insecurity which they eventually grow out of if the rest of their chart promotes this growth. Whatever parts of their chart that indicates a struggle will be something they find threatening in others. Mercury Square Chiron, Mercury in a slower or watery sign? Watch out if you’re witty and quick, even if they still have the stage in other departments they are going to be triggered and if Pluto is prominent or conjunct personal placements they’re going to seek to undermine you, more likely in a series of subtle manipulations and less than respectable tactics. If they’re not particularly Plutonic they might just avoid those that make them feel inferior, slow fading, not particularly interested in making you feel their presence or absence, but eager to avoid a feeling of ineptitude or lesser than. For the most part, once they recognize the deficits inside and out they will find ways to improve themselves, they may have blindspots to their innate talents and magnanimity or simply disregard them and focus on what they lack. Once they come into their own though, these people can shine and shine on others with abandon like their Moon and Sun counterparts. Their biggest weakness is insecurity, but their ability to improve and perfect is a strength that could give Virgos a serious run for their money

11th House Placements

11th house personal placements particularly the benefics, are the people with the plug for everything, especially if Leo is heavy in the chart. Their networks are BIG even if they are in a small city and people just seem to want to do them favors, be seen with them, they have “It.” The more Leo the more they are aware of this influence, they have a big head about it or relish in it, but it is only because they don’t need to fake humility, when people tell you are the shit so often, why would you have to? They’ll have friends all over the country and whatever size their pond they will be the biggest fish. On the flip side people won’t know their insecurities because ultimately this house is connected to the external, people just project the satisfaction they would imagine having being so liked and admired, and they might not have the closeness and intimacy us regular folks take for granted of being known behind closed doors.

Anecdotes on Libra Rising

Being raised by a Libra rising, and having dated 3, friends with 4, and having no actual Libra placements in my chart I can concede that they almost never look disheveled, always have a timeless elegance, regardless of their personal grooming habits or conscious desire to be this way. If their Venus is in a sign or Decan ruled by Jupiter, Neptune or Venus they will gain weight later in life, and most enviously they will still be regal and still make quite an entrance. They wear weight well so to speak either putting it on in the most flattering places or places easily disguised with their natural ability to dress themselves and some times weight gain will simply amplify their beautiful figures.

Chiron Conjunct Rising/Ascendant

in my experience does not result in an unpleasant appearance, quite the opposite, although childhood appearances may have undergone some transformation, ugly duckling features that in adulthood create stunning and unique beauties, or boys emerging muscular, chiseled jawed men from the confines of baby fat. (Forgive my gendered terms I’m old and that’s just how it was) Instead, something about them in their youth triggered the jealousy or disdain of their peers and they learned earlier than most the importance of presentation. This also applies to social media and curating an aesthetic that is signature in its vulnerable openness or alternatively, a mystique that enchants their social circles. Even in their openness there will be speculation into their authenticity, true identity and they will become notorious at some point in their young adulthood especially if Pluto is touching the angles. For whatever reason they were rejected by their peers for their distinctness or lack in some way and when they come into their own the effects of this creates a feedback loop of validation, online and in person. Especially in school, you’ll notice that people in your classes as they are in the same age group will have Chiron within a few degrees of you, that means that their wounding is right their in your rising, you are a constant reminder of their pain and especially in youth, people misunderstand, project, and condemn what makes them feel bad. The closer to the rising from the first or the twelfth the more conscious they are of the surface level effect one can have without even speaking and the more likely bullying and ugly duckling syndrome took place. This awareness is keenly connected to a desire to hone an impressive physique and an ability to dress oneself to provide a certain image they desire. By adulthood they have mastered their own bodies, perhaps going to extremes in fitness or dieting, and an abuse of stimulants is not uncommon to achieve these results without the necessary discipline that is required otherwise. I do not mean to glamorize this phase Chiron on the ascendant creates as it is seldom sustainable physically and rarely resolves in a healthy concept of identity and the burnout from the obsession of the vanity of others’ and self. Ultimately anyone can recover from the wound that Chiron leaves on us all but the themes and intensity of Chiron on the ascendant is visible to anyone that cares for one with this placement.

Chiron Sun/Chiron Moon/Chiron Venus/Chiron Aspects

Chiron is a wound but also a teacher, everything it touches will indicate suffering in some fashion, but this suffering is never without a wisdom that can be harnessed to better the world for the individual and those they connect with. I find these natives to have a more depth than the Chiron contacts to other planets and points in the chart, there is a beautiful compassion for the suffering of others. There will always be a underlying desire to make others feel safe- loved, understood, beautiful, and worthy. The wounding of the sun can make a native feel helpless and unworthy, their very identity rejected in their upbringing, directly or not. Their father may have been absent, or too preoccupied with his own suffering to provide the native with approval, encouragement or worse simply find the very nature of the child unsatisfactory. With the sun touching Chiron there is a more societal emphasis, they may be drawn to systemic or larger injustices, their means and abilities to shift these indicated by the resources in the rest of the chart. Moon and Chiron contacts are more subtle as the Sun shines so bright and is impossible to ignore, Moon is a less conscious and obvious part of one’s psyche, but it also represents the mother and these natives will often feel if not be actually outrightly rejected by their mothers. Their mother may be too wounded to provide the child with the love that was necessary for them to feel at ease with them, their emotions and needs never seem to be considered by their maternal figure or worse scorned and dismissed. Venus and Chiron often coincide with an unwillingness to allow the native child to experience joy, pride, parents and siblings may inadvertently and otherwise humiliate their appearance. With Moon and Venus contacts it is more interpersonal, how they connect to women and loved ones will be healing, softer, and more driven to privater side of improving the wellbeing of others. The result is a person who is familiar with suffering and being unfairly treated for unfair reasons, they recognize it when it occurs for others and they will provide unworldly insight, support, and reassurance that only these experiences could teach. They know the power of words and more mysteriously the cruelty of what is left unsaid when it was needed.
