Oh wow! Thanks for the love. This post actually threw me into an extensive research study on the houses and the overall practice of astrology. My understanding has increased so much and my focus has shifted to a traditional medieval-islamic approach to interpreting nativities and selecting elections. I have a lot more to do to sharpen my technique before I'm ready to offer consults. Thanks again, and I look forward to our respectful exchange of experiences.

The Difference Between The Relationship Charts
This is my attempt to differentiate between the relationship charts that i currently know of, based on how they are calculated or erected.
This post is not a reference on how to calculate each chart, and is 100% my opinion.
The Synastry Chart
Calculated: This chart is erected by overlaying person A's natal chart on person B's chart, and then calculating the aspects that are formed between the respective planets and points. For e.g. the aspect that person A's sun makes to person B's sun, and the same for the moon and ascendant and so on.
Meaning: Because of this, the chart symbolizes how easily (good aspects) or how difficult (bad aspects) the different functions/energies for one person's planets meet or flow or interact with the other.
The Synastry Chart uses aspects between like planets or points to tell how person A's energy meets/clashes with person B's energy; where they interact.
The Composite Chart
Calculated: This chart is erected by finding the midpoint between the respective planets and points of each person's natal chart, and then a new chart is erected with the midpoint position of the planets being the new position for the planets in the composite chart. For e.g. if person A's moon is in 7° Aries, and person B's moon is in 3° Gemini, then the midpoint between the moons, i.e. 15° Taurus, is the position for the composite moon.
Meaning: Because of this, the chart symbolizes how the two individual planets or points merge (i.e. composite) into a new planet/point or each person into a new whole.
The Composite Chart uses midpoints between like planets/points to tell how person A's energy blends with person B's energy; where they compromise.
The Davison Chart
Calculated: This chart is erected by finding the midpoints between the times of birth and the places of birth of the two persons. This creates actual natal data with an actual time and place of birth.
Meaning: Because of this, this chart symbolizes how the two original people created a new potential/event (or person) from their own individual whole energies.
The Davison Chart uses midpoints between the birth dates and place to tell what happens after/ the effects when person A and B's energies meet and merge; where they create potential.
The Marks Chart
Calculated: This chart is erected using the midpoints of the birth data on the Davison Chart, and the birth data of another person that is a part of the first Davison Chart.
Meaning: Because of this, this chart symbolizes how an individual is affected by the new whole that they are a part of.
The Marks Chart uses the Davison Chart and a Natal Chart from one person in the relationship to create a new Davison chart that tells how the relationship affects the individual; where potential meets individual
In conclusion, Synastry desribes how two individuals interact; Composite tells how to individuals compromise; Davison tells how two individuals create purpose; Marks tells how either individual is affected by the purpose.
Again these are my thoughts, if you must, please share yours respectfully.

Minor Aspects
Please do not repost, redistribute or plagiarise my content. Thank you.
Tumblr media
Having minor aspects does not mean minor influence on your life. Its effects are less potent than major aspects and are more mysterious in nature, however they are very much like the backdrop of your life and function in the background. When you see repeated patterns, habits, occurrences happening throughout your life, it very well could be minor aspects’ influence, so much so that you do not need to think about them or acknowledge them. They could be things that pop up occasionally that irritate you (literally a mosquito just bit me as I said this njkNVSJKDVN), or lessons and reminders that you have learnt early on and kind of keep you in check. There are about 8-9 minor aspects that are commonly known and used in many astrology chart sites, but about 5 are very rarely used and I’ll briefly mention them here for anyone that’s curious (I am. I am very curious because I see NO meanings for them online.). These aspects are all very mysterious in nature, so take what resonates and have fun getting to know your chart!
Tumblr media
The Quincunx/Inconjunct
This aspect is reputed to be one of the MOST important minor aspects besides the Quintile/Bi-Quintile, because not only can it be a recurring noticeable influence, but if you have 2 planets/angles sextile each other and 2 inconjunctions with a third planet/angle, you get a Yod. Yods are one powerful aspect shape in your chart, known as the ‘finger of god’ and can point to you what your karmic challenge is in this life. But focusing on the Quincunx, this aspect makes a 150° angle and has an orb of up to 3 degrees. I personally think it’s most noticeable at 0-2 degrees for the planets/angles, and up to 3 degrees for the sun and moon if they are involved. The Quincunx is normally known to be a hard aspect, because the planets are often sitting in signs that have no correlation to each other at first glance, neither element nor mode. This produces confusion and loss between the planets as they have nothing in common at first, but the power this aspect brings is the potential grasp of a broad set of skills to a common goal. The potential problems this aspect causes is choosing one sign over the other, choosing to ignore growth and integration of the signs/planets, and constantly having one part of your life at an imbalance.
The advice here is to accept all parts of yourself, to learn how to balance conflicting skills and energy and merge them in order to create a unique set of skills to you that you can operate in your life. Yods are known to be obstacles but can also create new pathways and options for you should you choose to accept and learn from it, and Quincunxes operate in a similar manner.
Aries: Quincunx Virgo and Scorpio. Common theme here is focus.
Taurus: Quincunx Libra and Sagittarius. Common theme here is appreciation for life.
Gemini: Quincunx Scorpio and Capricorn. Common theme here is depth (of perception, etc.).
Cancer: Quincunx Sagittarius and Aquarius. Common theme here is empathy.
Leo: Quincunx Capricorn and Pisces. Common theme here is going after ambitions/dreams.
Virgo: Quincunx Aquarius and Aries. Common theme here is innovation.
Libra: Quincunx Pisces and Taurus. Common theme here is seeking harmony.
Scorpio: Quincunx Aries and Gemini. Common theme here is seeking truth.
Sagittarius: Quincunx Taurus and Cancer. Common theme here is generosity/big-heartedness.
Capricorn: Quincunx Gemini and Leo. Common theme here is shrewdness.
Aquarius: Quincunx Cancer and Virgo. Common theme here is finding a niche.
Pisces: Quincunx Leo and Libra. Common theme here is creation.
If you think about it they’re more alike than they seem. The themes are there to help with integration, but if you understand them in another way, and it helps you, feel free to use that. There are more in-depth posts about yods and quincunxes, I can link one here by @/lilmajorshawty.
Example #1: I’ve got a friend who has aqua uranus in the 4H quincunx cancer north node in the 9H, and what that basically meant was her unsteady home life was at odds with the direction she was supposed to take in this life. She felt as if her foundation and comfort zone is still quite erratic and unsafe, which led her to believe that focusing and nurturing herself and others in the direction of spirituality, higher knowledge, travel and education may not be wise. However, she does have a talent and interest in spirituality, and when she focuses on it she can neglect her inner creativity and brilliance at times and may be more unsure of herself. Because these planets/points are in confusion, her way of integrating is through self-improvement and listening to her gut instincts (related to 4H Uranus themes) while growing towards spirituality, and learning to accept her difference she makes in the community. She’s also learning to nurture her innate creativity while balancing her home life and her love for cultures and travel, hence there’s a lot of juggling and acceptance involved when confronting this minor aspect.
Tumblr media
The Sesquiquadrate
This aspect is the rebel of the minor aspects. Also known as the sesquisquare, it makes a 135° angle and has an orb of 2-3 degrees. Similar to the Quincunx, I personally think it’s the most noticeable with an orb of 0-2 degrees for planets/angles, and up to a 3 degree orb for the sun and moon. This minor aspect not only produces friction, but it can cause uncontrolled release of the planets/signs involved when you do not notice it. Think of children sneaking out to play when the parent/guardian isn’t around. It can manifest either positively or negatively, it’s a wild card, but it will be uncontrolled until you take notice of it. It can also add a certain spark or uranus quality to the planets, where all of a sudden all the tension is released through expression of the planets when an opportunity arises.
The key here is awareness and control. Like all harsh aspects, major or minor, it could become a blessing in disguise once you’ve learnt how to wield it. Some problems this aspect may cause are unfiltered thoughts/actions and lack of self-awareness. If left unchecked it could point to the inability of taking accountability and stagnancy. If worked on though, it could work as a source of inspiration and a new facet in your life.
Example #1: My sister has her aqua venus in 1H sesquiquadrate her cancer saturn in the 6H. She is extremely critical of the things she likes, dislikes, what she wears, and is very disciplined in these areas without knowing she is. It’s almost like a natural talent how she is able to select and narrow down her interests, but the downside is unchecked self-criticism. Venus in 1H are known to be beautiful and magnetising in appearance and aura, and she is no different, however she can’t see it for the life of her. She can also get very critical and harsh while expressing her concern for people without intending to, but once she realised this, there was a massive change in her and she doesn’t repeat the same mistake twice. People with this aspect have to learn how to control their thoughts to themselves especially, but the benefits of this aspect is timeless style and beauty, and funnily almost a shock from others in how maturely she expresses her love.
Example #2: A friend with cap venus in 3H sesquiquadrates her gem jupiter in 8H and boy. There is a spark to her words that turns the heads of others, a love for what is hidden, the mystical and sometimes, the horrifying. She can be charming in what she says but she’s not for the faint of heart with the jupiter 8H influence, and the cap venus in 3rd makes for pretty direct and yet nurturing communication, or at least the love for it. This does not really have much bad effects due to the lucky nature of both planets, but it could lead to frustration on her part (it has) for the lack of sincerity and candidness in most of her conversations with others. Others would also not expect her interest in diving into deep conversations, and can be quite surprised, even intrigued by it.
Aspect patterns: Thor’s Hammer
Ngl I laughed at this. Basically it is when two planets square each other, and each of them also sesquiquadrates a third planet/angle, making a triangle in the shape of, well, Thor’s Hammer. This aspect pattern is believed to bring strife and tension, and the person is supposedly wilful and undisciplined if left unchecked. The ultimate rebels, they could be infamous for their controversial habits and opinions if they leave their aspects uncontrolled to fester in the background (as in most cases with minor aspects).
Tumblr media
The Semi-sextile
So this aspect is interesting as it brings evolvement to both planets/signs, however people treat this as a negative thing while it’s still being developed (it shouldn’t be the case). The planets make a 30° angle to each other and have an orb of 0-2 degrees. I’ve heard from many websites and sources that the planet in front affects the planet at the back which in turn can develop the planet at the back further. Although with that logic, this means that the planet in front will also evolve to be expressed with the planet at the back, so both planets evolve and learn lessons from each other. This is easier said than done, as semi-sextiles often mean one planet is in consecutive signs from the other, and the planets may have a confused clash with this connection. However, this brings new energy into the planets and you may have a wiser opinion and control regarding the themes of the planets due to how often they are working together and learning from each other.
I would think semi-sextiles are GREAT aspects to have. You get a higher development and vision of your planets’ themes with the small price of getting out of your comfort zone to focus on working the two planets together. I haven’t seen much bad effects of this minor aspect, just a few complaints of how rocky the planets can be at first.
Example #1: I have a friend (I swear they are all different friends lol) with cap sun in 3H semi-sextile her aqua uranus in 4H. She presents an interesting dynamic, she is normally quite conservative and quiet as a whole (even with a 3H stellium), but when I got to know her, she’s incredibly erratic and full of ideas. NOBODY suspected this, but she can switch between being an old soul to a young child. She shapes her core values and beliefs quite rigidly, however with the uranus influence she is surprisingly progressive and sturdy amidst chaos. These two planets are often bouncing off each other in terms of growth I’ve noticed, and she is often starting up new crafts and online accounts where she sells hand-made jewellery and decorations. This aspect in particular can also benefit self-expression and individuality, if one is willing to nurture this mysterious aspect.
*Special case: In the event you have planets semi-sextiling each other but they’re still in the same sign, this is called a dissociate aspect, and it can lead to both planets acting really differently from each other even when they are the same sign.
**Example #2: I have my 0° pisces mercury in 5H semi-sextile 29° pisces venus in 6H. With this aspect, I’ve found that the expression and communication of ideas and concepts differs greatly from how you express love and interestingly, how you want to receive love. Both planets are in one of the least grounded signs, however this aspect has shaped it where both planets are bouncing off the other in growth. Your ideas of love could be very grounded and practical, in turn how you express your ideas and words are often softened when needed to. You could dial up the charm when needed and express yourself quite freely, but the subtle tension of the aspect can lead to learning how to integrate these energies properly. Overall it’s still pretty smooth and dynamic.
Tumblr media
The Semi-Square
This aspect is the one I keep referring to as the mosquito HAHA. It can be quite irritating, with this aspect making a 45° angle between planets and having an orb of 0-2 degrees. This aspect is subtle enough to go unseen at first, but most of the time people with this aspect tend to have occurrences happening to them regarding these planets, or they express it without knowing they are and it slowly builds up problems until you become aware of it. Much like the sesquiquadrate, except for this, you don’t just need control, you need patience to understand the problem and fix it. That is, if you want to take control of your growth. It takes compromise between planets as well as the patience to understand where the problem is. This often occurs as random external events clashing with your personality or produces friction in certain areas of your life with seemingly no connections or patterns to where it stems from. This is one of the more frustrating of the minor aspects to say the least, because even as you figure out the issue, it can be so mysterious or subtle that it can be hard to figure out a solution.
Some of the manifestations of this aspect could be a repeated pattern of occurrences happening in your life without rhyme or reason regarding the theme of the planets. It could also lead to a tense relationship between planets that shows itself through minor irritations in your psyche as you go about life. This aspect can bring LOTS of growth and maturity like all harsh aspects though, much like the square, once you are aware of this and take control of how you express it.
Example #1: A friend with cap mars in 12H is semi-squared by her aqua uranus in 2H. She’s incredibly generous as a person and very fair and just in her dealings with people, however where people would assume she is stable- she is not HAHA. It is a subtle frustration in her psyche where she is incredibly erratic although she prizes efficiency and common sense, and she is naturally quite a trailblazer. However, I’ve noticed she often has obstacles in the form of authority figures and parents that rule over her routine and style, who criticise who she naturally is and when she works to correct it, focus on another ‘weakness’ of hers. All these are under the attempt to help her constructively usually, but it is at odds with her way of life. This is admittedly difficult to solve, however she has gone to take a degree in business which sort of fulfills both criteria of these planets/her parents/her own values, so like previously said, aspects like these require patience to solve.
Example #2: A friend with gem sun in 10H is semi-squared by her aries venus in 8H. She’s one of the most brilliant, hardworking, reserved, and thoughtful people I know, but unfortunately, she likes bad boys. Just kidding, it’s not a bad thing, but she admittedly has trouble reconciling her darker, shadow side with what she deems should be proper, and it often manifests in love. Her basic sense of self and what she thinks of herself is at odds with how she expresses her love, how she loves herself and what she wants to give/receive in love. She attracts a lot of people who have more aggressive, unpredictable and sometimes darker personalities which is really at odds with her sunny self. Nobody would suspect her of breaking the rules, going against authority figures or even liking more aggressive people, and yet she does all three. It’s quite funny to see, however patience in this case comes in the form of integration and parsing through her values through self-reflection, and choosing to love herself and finding that love in the form that she wants as well.
Tumblr media
The Quintile
One of the more important minor aspects besides the Inconjunction/Quincunx, the Quintile makes an angle of 72° and has an orb of 2-3 degrees (again, 0-2 degrees for planets, 2-3 degree orb for sun and moon imo). Unlike all of the minor aspects I’ve mentioned so far, this aspect does not bring any tension or confusion, and in fact is known to be a blessing in your chart. It’s unfortunately uncommon even as a minor aspect, but it gives talents, gifts and an area of expertise to the individual. However, unlike the trine which might fall stagnant, the quintile is more dynamic and expressive, and the individual is more likely to feel called towards using their talents to work towards something. People with the quintile aspect are noticeably good at what they do regarding the planet and sign themes, but as in all cases, it is up to the person to choose to develop these gifts to their full potential.
Example #1: A friend with libra sun in 9H has it quintile her sag pluto in 11H, and she’s incredibly all-rounded and knowledgeable and attracts people like moths to a flame. She gathers quite an audience when she wants to, and her free-spirited self is surprisingly fierce and grounded in terms of her ideals and ambitions. This minor aspect gives her a boost in communicating to crowds and relating to others, because people just like her, as they should, because she’s insightful, forward-thinking and progressive when she wants to be. Overall she’s sunny, but there is a noticeable gravity around her that people take notice of and she can use it as a gift when she wants to.
Tumblr media
The Bi-Quintile
Similar to the Quintile, the Bi-Quintile also signifies talent albeit a little differently. It makes a 144° angle between planets and has an orb of 2-3 degrees (0-2 for planets; 2-3 for sun and moon imo). The Bi-Quintile signifies ease and comfort between the planets and signifies a gift in the form of creativity when one chooses to use it. Unlike the Quintile, the Bi-Quintile is not so obvious to the individual and there is no real push to develop it, however it is often used as a creative tool in troubleshooting times because it is still a blessing in disguise. Think of it as like an easy bridge between planets that one can use to direct traffic when problems arise, and when the individual develops it, it is sporadic and creative in its output that distinguishes it from the Quintile.
Example #1: A friend with leo venus in 4H has it bi-quintile her sag mars in 8H. Not only is she an amazing dancer, she is pretty much respected and adored by many people due to how balanced her energy is. A lot like mars trine venus, except she likes to express it in a more creative nature, and it’s not nearly as active as the trine. It is more of a subtle influence in how she comes across, as if she does not care who you are, whatever gender or orientation, she can relate to you and you can relate to her. She’s also very passionate about deeper topics and the unknown, likes to heal and help people (she’s in a course for speech therapy) and is fair in all her dealings. In a sense, the bi-quintile is much like an extra useful tool she can use.
Aspect patterns for Quintile and Bi-Quintile: The Grand Quintile
The rarest aspect pattern, this is formed when there is a connection of 5 Quintiles and 5 Bi-Quintiles. This individual has immense creativity and talent that should be used wisely, as it is said it can bring great gifts and blessings, or great destruction and chaos. Given the meaning of these aspects and how weighted they are, I am not that surprised. The tip here is to learn every facet of this gift, and learn how to wield it without imbalancing your life and how you influence others (the world).
Tumblr media
The Rare(ly used) Minor Aspects
There is the Septile, which is a minor aspect that came about when dividing 360 degrees (which makes up the full horoscope) by 7. The specific angle is 51° and 26 minutes between planets and has an orb of 0-2 degrees. Because it divides the horoscope by 7, and the number 7 is known to be an extremely spiritual number, it is allegedly supposed to bring sudden clarity and spiritual awakening between planets, although random and rare in occurrence. It is probably more noticeable within inner planets, however this energy is hardly felt, and the way this aspect is described, it brings a sense of wonder and potential fascination of the planets it concerns. Either way, how obvious this aspect is depends on whether the individual can see it and wishes to tap into it.
There is the Novile, which is a minor aspect that came about when dividing 360 degrees by 9. This has an orb of 0-1 degrees for planets, and up to 2 degrees for the sun and moon. This is even harder to parse, as it represents the 9th harmonic as well which is important in Vedic astrology. This aspect is basically unnoticeable unless you choose to further develop it, and it is said to bring extreme spiritual awakening and growth.
There are a few other aspects which are unexplained and almost unheard of, but if you’re good at geometry, take a look at the angles and how it appears in a circle, because it can bring to light some of their subtle meanings in a chart:
Semi-Octile (22.5 degrees)
Squile (75 degrees)
Squine (105 degrees)
Tri-Decile (108 degrees)
Quindecile (165 degrees)
Thank you for reading and I hope this post brought you some clarity to the minor aspects. My inbox is open if you have any questions!

💘LOOKING AT THE WATER SIGNS IN YOUR HOUSES pt. three💘: PISCES 🌊
Wherever Pisces is in your chart is where you can want to transcend & boundaries can become blurred, where u seek to heal/ help at all costs & can also indicate where you can easily be deceived or taken advantage of, look at Virgo to see how to balance the energy 🧜🏼‍♀️ (and of course there are amazing things where Pisces is in your chart but I’m highlighting the ones I mentioned) ✨🔮
Pisces 1h= dealing with people thinking you’re not that smart/ lost in your own head but you can use that to your advantage, having people try to take advantage of your kindness, being extremely sensitive to the pain and suffering of others around you and feeling like it’s almost your own, willing to sacrifice everything to help someone but remember you matter too and you don’t have to set yourself on fire to keep undeserving people warm, people are constantly attempting to define you and wishing they could simply pin one label on you, but you are constantly on the move, your identity shifting and growing as you experience life, and the way you express yourself is always artistic, even when you are being casual
Pisces 2h= feeling as if your self-esteem and values is a reflection of the people around you, it feels far too fluid for you to fully decipher, your belongings getting lost or misplaced, other people trying to force their values onto you or you being unsure of their intentions, people taking advantage of your finances or other resources, willing to sacrifice yourself for anything that can provide you with a sense of safety or value, investing time and energy in something you care about is beneficial, regardless of whether it generates revenue, it’s all about believing in your capacity to accomplish greatness, which does not have to begin with others validating your efforts as you are worthy and valuable all on your own
Pisces 3h= feeling like you can’t fully fit in into your environment, others may perceive your behavior as erratic because you appear to be dozing off or daydreaming, like you’re watching others through this glass wall, not knowing if your childhood was truly as great as those around you make it seem, trying hard to be more assertive in regard to your conscious thoughts, you could be taken advantage of by your siblings or someone in your neighborhood or community deceiving you, you’re willing to sacrifice your needs or voice in the name of trying to be compassionate to others, remember to allow yourself to be held just as much as you help others to be held; your self expression is equally important
Pisces 4h= willing to sacrifice yourself for those that you love in a heartbeat, desiring security following a period of instability in childhood, utilizing your expansive imagination to create your ideal life, family members feeling entitled for you to do stuff just because you’re related, being taken advantage of by your mother or having unrealistic expectations being set on you, always being the one people run to when they’re hurt, being held hostage by family values and traditions that just don’t align with you how you feel about yourself and the world, picking and putting yourself first feels like it will come at cost and even if it might, it will always be worth it
Pisces 5h= willing to sacrifice yourself for any little thing that brings you joy, for the people you date and for your pleasure, you can be deceived or taken advantage of by lovers who can gaslight you in regards to s*x or wanting you to lower your standards for them, seeing the people you date through rose-colored glasses to the point where you can become impractical, surround yourself by people who only want the best for you, cut off people that are willing to let you hurt yourself in the name of their pleasure, you don’t have to know exactly why something doesn’t feel right as your intuition itself is enough, direct your confusion towards creative hobbies and forms of expression and watch how the flowers bloom there
Pisces 6h= feeling unsure of what you’re doing with your life, beating yourself up about it, willing to sacrifice your personal health or your routine in order to alleviate the concerns of others, being taken advantage of at your jobs as others around you can misinterpret your words and actions, feeling like people don’t hear you or even see you, like you have to go great lengths to get the proper recognition you deserve, feeling under appreciated by the people you spend the most time with, you need to stop sacrificing your joy and indulge in the small pleasures of life; you also need to appreciate your own courage and strength during trying times
Pisces 7h= willing to give and sacrifice your entire being to help your partner or those you love in intimate relationships, forgiving people that sometimes don’t deserve your forgiveness, consistently giving others the benefit of the doubt when they don’t do the same to you, your partners could deceive you or take advantage of you, you could have enemies or haters just hiding in plain sight, be careful of being duped in business deals, losing yourself as you try to find your dreams in others, You have an innate ability to allow others to discover themselves within you, but there is nothing wrong with focusing on yourself and becoming acquainted with your own demons and anxieties, as you will always emerge stronger in the end
Pisces 8h= willing to sacrifice it all in attempt to merge with the value system and needs and temperaments of those around you, being confused as if your own confidence is real or not (or both), another placement where you can easily be manipulated by your lovers, you could be deceived by those you have s*x with as they make it seem like they’re just as committed as you, be taken advantage of in regards to your funds or others holding money over your head, having the power to sense when things aren’t right from a mile away, other people could not see you as spiritual at first when you are and deeply so, you have the right and responsibility to advocate for yourself; refuse to allow others to use you solely to heal their own wounds; fully embrace your power and establish boundaries; and watch as a plethora of opportunities open up for you
Pisces 9h= being taken advantage of in college or when traveling abroad, feeling like your culture or religion could contradict your opinions and mindset, or just being deceived by certain beliefs that growing up you thought were always true, remember two things can be true at once, feeling like you can’t explain all the ideas and opinions in your mind, others getting frustrated with you when you don’t articulate yourself the way they want you to, staying silent or keeping secret what you hold most dear to you, having an intense connection with your beliefs system that you can’t even put into words, remember it’s not wrong to question things around you, allow yourself to find your direction in life knowing that you don’t always have to put everything or yourself into a category as you are limitless
Pisces 10h= willing to sacrifice your dreams to keep up with the expectations of others, especially family, keeping your creativity on a leash in order to maintain reputation, being taken advantage of by the authority figures in your life who except you to automatically adjust your life to cater to theirs, sometimes it could feel like you have to suffer right in silence and then have to pick yourself up all on your own, focusing on healing from past wounds through your career, it is critical that you develop a strong sense of purpose for whatever you do in life, ignoring the vicious rumors that others may spread about you, It may be confusing to attempt to figure out how to walk through life with a sense of purpose, but you do not have to know all the answers; start small and with what feels right
Pisces 11h= you are willing to sacrifice yourself and ignore your own needs for the sake of keeping your community happy, you can be taken advantage of by friends, your online community (or people using social media to hurt you), or by your hopes and dreams being used to manipulate you or extort you, people who show up to help you might not be who they seem, you could have a wall up in fear of being betrayed once again, feeling like everyone disappears in the moment you truly need someone, do not be afraid to nurture your spirituality and practice self-compassion; forgive younger versions of yourself who truly did not know any better and were simply doing their best to survive
Pisces 12h= willing to sacrifice or self sabotage your daily routine or tasks that you need to get done to maintain your own little inner world afloat, forgetting about your health and not even realizing it, being frustrated but also being use to being misunderstood, either feeling like your mind is a wonderful place and a sanctuary from the mundane tasks of the day or having all your fears weigh on you that it feels like you’re completely isolated with just your pain, having hidden enemies lurk in the shadows or spying on you, your unconscious mind can deceive you to the point where you are unsure whether something is a genuine threat or not; you can be your own worst enemy and impede yourself through self denial; you have the ability to merge between fierceness and fragility and become the ultimate healer when you impose some boundaries into your life

three important things to remember right now:
1. do not share ANY information about the place, the state, and the members of Ukrainian army. don't like it, don't reblog it, don't even write about it.
2. if you want to get information, do not look for carrds or twt threads. turn on your tv, read a newspaper, look for journalists and officials. do not trust random internet users and do not spread the disinformation and propaganda that is already circulating around here. double check every account you see talking about what's happening before deciding to share it further.
3. listen to Ukrainians.

Astrology House Axes (intro)
AstroLog: AF-a1 || Celestial Sphere
Another brain barf of my readings and thoughts. It really is coming out like barf. I'll rummage the regurgitation later. This is kinda lengthy but I hope its worth it.
This is not a reference on how to divide the celestial sphere into the 12 houses, neither is it a post on the AC or MC points. It is 100% my understanding currently. You are welcomed to share yours as well, as long as it is done respectfully.
The houses in astrology are a bit elusive even though they are what emphasizes individuality in a chart, in my humble opinion. This post is the first in a series that attempts to make clearer, the symbolic meanings of the Astrology Houses, by contemplating the six different axes that the twelve houses lie in pairs on. This post introduces the celestial sphere, whose division is what the houses depend on.
An axis, mathematically, is a reference line from which an object is measured or drawn. In astrology, an axis refers to the core concept, i.e. the reference, that connects or draws together two houses with a similar motives, but different perspectives.
Two houses on the wheel are polar opposites on the same axis; both are bound by a common theme, but are experienced in different ways or areas of life.
Astrology is all about symbolism; of symbolizing a subjective from the objective. Symbolically, the Celestial Sphere graphically represents a realm of existence or universe. This is can be any level or scale of existence, that's why there are so many different kinds of astrology. The houses are the different experiences or the awareness of where the dynamics of existence play out.
Tumblr media
No copyright infringement intended. From: Horoscopes Within
Btw, our shit gets wacky so east becomes left and west becomes right. I opt to keep this notion instead of just calling it left/right because symbolically, the west represents weakness of self and the east, individual strength.
The horizon/Ascendant (point of life) divides the celestial sphere into a upper and lower hemisphere. he upper hemisphere is the diurnal hemisphere, and planets in these houses can collectively be seen; while the opposite is true for the lower hemisphere, which is the nocturnal hemisphere.
This division of the seen and unseen symbolizes the division between the subjective and objective; internal and external; impressive and expressive- the horizon is the boundary between the objective and subjective realms.
Symbolically, the diurnal hemisphere is associated with the masculine principle: assertive, direct, expressive/outpouring, social/public energy and other symbolisms for day. This hemisphere is objective;
Whereas, the nocturnal hemisphere is associated with the feminine principle: passive, subtle, impressive/retiring, personal/private energy and other symbolisms for night. This hemisphere is subjective.
The meridian/Midheaven (highest point) divides the sphere into an eastern (left) and western (right) hemisphere. The eastern hemisphere is the rising hemisphere, since planets in this hemisphere are rising towards the highest point in the chart; while the western hemisphere is the setting hemisphere, and the opposite is true.
Due to some ancient myths, this division of the right and left symbolizes the division between the self and not-self; personal and public; action and reaction - the meridian is the boundary between the realms of the will of self and others.
Symbolically, the rising hemisphere is associated with the youth principle: dynamic, personal, active (self-initiated) energy and other symbolisms for inception and renewal; represents world's perception of self.
Whereas, the setting hemisphere is associated with the ageing principle: lethargic, general, receptive energy (initiated by others) and other symbolisms for endings and decline; represents self's perception of world.
Together, the horizon and the meridian divide the sphere into four quarters. The left half of the horizon (sunrise), the part that acts as the cusp of the First House, represents the strongest essence of consciousness, since planets change direction after reaching that point. The opposite is true for the other half that acts as the cusp of the 7H (sunset).
Likewise, the upper half of the meridian (noon), the part that acts as the cusp of the 10H, represents the consciousness at its highest (visible or public) since planets change direction after reaching, while the opposite is true for the lower half that acts as the cusp for the 4H (midnight).
The axes always connect two houses that are in opposite hemispheres. And so, Houses on the same axes are believed to be ways of neutralizing each other; give and take, positive and negative.
For e.g. a house in the right hemisphere shares an axis with a house in the left hemisphere; a house in the lower-left hemisphere shares an axis with a house in the upper-right hemisphere; and and vice-versa.
Example:
The 1H is in the north/east (lower left) hemisphere and shares an axis with the 7H in the south/west (upper right) hemisphere. Both houses represent the same core concept [another post] but for now, let's say the concept is: identity. A subtle, individual and subjective form of identity is self, which is associated with the 1H, when compared to [significant] others, whose matters in the 7H are a general, social and objective form of identity.
The impression of the self on others; the expression of others on the self. How you demand and obtain yourself from others, how others demand and obtain themselves from you. [think about it]
self is not expressed by others.
see definition below
Conclusion:
In astrology, an axis is the core principle or reference that connects/relates two very opposite houses.
Houses on an axis are opposing ways of experiencing the same core principle.
Energies in the houses that are above the horizon are objective and expressive in nature, and those below are subjective and impressive.
Energies in the houses to the right of the meridian refer to matters initiated by others or reactivity, while those to the left refer to matters that are self-initiated or activity.
The next post will discuss the first of the six Astrology House axes: the 1H/7H Axis of Identity
Definitions:
Express refers to the influence of the objective, not-self.
Impress refers to the influence of the subjective, self.
An archaic definition for express is exact, which means to demand (require) and obtain from someone else; the existence of an expression implies the existence of an impression, and vice-versa.
Subtle refers to a change/distinction so precise that it is difficult to measure.
Will refers to the faculty by which a person decides on and takes action; or to restrain one's own impulses

AstroLog: OT-1
The Difference Between The Relationship Charts
This is my attempt to differentiate between the relationship charts that i currently know of, based on how they are calculated or erected.
This post is not a reference on how to calculate each chart, and is 100% my opinion.
The Synastry Chart
Calculated: This chart is erected by overlaying person A's natal chart on person B's chart, and then calculating the aspects that are formed between the respective planets and points. For e.g. the aspect that person A's sun makes to person B's sun, and the same for the moon and ascendant and so on.
Meaning: Because of this, the chart symbolizes how easily (good aspects) or how difficult (bad aspects) the different functions/energies for one person's planets meet or flow or interact with the other.
The Synastry Chart uses aspects between like planets or points to tell how person A's energy meets/clashes with person B's energy; where they interact.
The Composite Chart
Calculated: This chart is erected by finding the midpoint between the respective planets and points of each person's natal chart, and then a new chart is erected with the midpoint position of the planets being the new position for the planets in the composite chart. For e.g. if person A's moon is in 7° Aries, and person B's moon is in 3° Gemini, then the midpoint between the moons, i.e. 15° Taurus, is the position for the composite moon.
Meaning: Because of this, the chart symbolizes how the two individual planets or points merge (i.e. composite) into a new planet/point or each person into a new whole.
The Composite Chart uses midpoints between like planets/points to tell how person A's energy blends with person B's energy; where they compromise.
The Davison Chart
Calculated: This chart is erected by finding the midpoints between the times of birth and the places of birth of the two persons. This creates actual natal data with an actual time and place of birth.
Meaning: Because of this, this chart symbolizes how the two original people created a new potential/event (or person) from their own individual whole energies.
The Davison Chart uses midpoints between the birth dates and place to tell what happens after/ the effects when person A and B's energies meet and merge; where they create potential.
The Marks Chart
Calculated: This chart is erected using the midpoints of the birth data on the Davison Chart, and the birth data of another person that is a part of the first Davison Chart.
Meaning: Because of this, this chart symbolizes how an individual is affected by the new whole that they are a part of.
The Marks Chart uses the Davison Chart and a Natal Chart from one person in the relationship to create a new Davison chart that tells how the relationship affects the individual; where potential meets individual
In conclusion, Synastry desribes how two individuals interact; Composite tells how to individuals compromise; Davison tells how two individuals create purpose; Marks tells how either individual is affected by the purpose.
Again these are my thoughts, if you must, please share yours respectfully.

Psychic ability indicators in the natal chart (Mega post)
These are some aspects and placements that can present themselves in above average intuition. There are 5 psychic abilities that are just advanced versions of the basic 5 senses: Clairvoyance, Clairsentience, Clairaudience, & Claircognizance. You are born with these abilities and (in my experience) they do not go away even if you ignore the signs and people on the outside try to repress you, psychic abilities can be present with any aspect although the conjunction, trine, and sextile allow it to be expressed easiest. At least 4-5 of these  are needed to be Psychic and at least 5-7 are needed if you have more minor aspects (semi-sextile, Bi-quintile/Quintile, quincunx, etc) than major aspects.
Check you Sidereal and Placidus chart.

finding yourself in your natal chart: psychic abilities, spiritual experiences etc. - part one
Tumblr media
pic not mine
"Astrology offers us a portal to explore another dimension of ourselves. By studying the placements and aspects in our natal charts, we can decode our personal strengths, weaknesses, and reappearing themes in our lives."
p.s.: not everyone with these placements can actually be like that, either because of other points in the natal chart conflict, or because they have a personality that prevents them from developing and focusing on developing their psychic abilities. on the other hand, the more water signs and houses are present, the more the native can actually be psychic.
p.s.: if you don’t have any of these aspects / placements this doesn't mean you aren't psychic. our intuition can be always worked on to become active/highlighted.
highly intuitive: Sun in Pisces, Sun in 12th house, Moon in Pisces, Sun in Cancer, Mercury in Pisces, Mercury in Cancer.
sensitive: Moon in Libra, Lilith in Libra.
astral projection: Uranus in 12th house, Jupiter in 8th house can bring an expansive astral projection experience.
interested in the occult: Mercury in Scorpio, Mercury in 8th house, Uranus in 8th house.
a deep connection to humanity and the universe: Venus in Pisces, Sun in Pisces, Moon in Pisces, Neptune in 12th house, Uranus in 12th house, Uranus in 9th house.
energy medicine: Lilith in Virgo / Lilith in 6th house, Chiron in Virgo, Chiron in 6th house aspected to Neptune.
healing abilities: Pluto in 6th house, Chiron in Virgo aspected to Neptune.
attraction of spirits and astral beings: the 8th house is the one that makes this possible when it is very present on the chart. 8th house stellium, Neptune in 8th house, Lilith in Scorpio, Lilith in 8th house, Moon in Scorpio, Moon in 8th house, Uranus in 8th house.
being an empath: 12th house stellium, Pluto in 12th house, South Node in Pisces, South Node in 12th house, Lilith in Pisces, Nars in Pisces, Mars in 12th house, Lilith in Llibra. a strong 12th house and/or Pisces or Libra presence in the chart on personal planets or points/asteroids denoting some sort of excess energy (such as Lilith, South Node).
can almost read the thoughts of others through intuition: Mercury in 12th house, Mercury trine Neptune (innate trait); Mercury sextile Neptune (characteristic to be developed, which has high potential).
clairvoyance: a strong presence of the 8th and 12th houses, especially in the following positions: Pluto in 8th house, Lilith in Scorpio, Lilith in 8th house.
psychic: Moon in 8th house, Sun in 8th house, Jupiter in 8th house aspected to Uranus or Neptune, Uranus square Pluto.
maybe you were a healer on your past life: South Node in Pisces, South Node in 12th house.
telepathy abilities: Uranus in 9th house, Neptune in 3rd house, Lilith in Gemini or in 3rd house well aspected to Neptune or Uranus.
prophetic dreams: Neptune in 9th house, Moon in 12th house, Moon in Pisces/12th house conjunction/trine/sextile/square/opposite Neptune.
connection between conscious and unconscious mind: Neptune in Pisces, Neptune in 12th house, Mercury in Pisces. Uranus in 12th house.
reiki: Neptune in 6th house.
healing abilities: South Node conjunct Neptune in 6th house.
strong & vivid dreams: Moon in Pisces or in 12th house, Neptune quintile Moon.
precognitive dreams: Moon in Pisces/12th house trine sextile or conjunct Neptune.
clairsentience: Moon in Pisces in 2nd house sextile/trine/square Neptune in 2nd house; Moon in Pisces in 2nd house trine/square Neptune; Moon in Taurus square Neptune; Midheaven in Pisces conjunction Neptune; Pisces rising conjunct/trine/sextile/square Neptune; Cancer rising sextile/trine/square Neptune.
claircognizance: Mercury in Pisces conj Neptune in 3rd house; Mercury in Pisces trine Neptune in 6th. Uranus in 9th house in aspect to Neptune.
p.s.: the difference between aspects is in energy, and in the way native will express and feel this. for example, people with squares also have possibility to express psychic abilities, i see square as a large energy concentration that needs to be put out, but finds barriers and locks.
The "Clairs" represent how intuition can manifest:
"Clairsentience is the ability to feel psychically the feelings of other people that are present with you or in the distance.
Clairvoyance is the ability to see objects that resonate with the fourth dimension and beyond it.
Claircognizance is the aptitude to know something without knowing how or why. It's the psychic gift of "knowing". It's the intuition that allows the person to have consciousness and the knowledge of something that is occurring."
