the 4th house is one of the most quiet areas in the birth chart. it represents the root, the motherhood, the family, and the systems we must break in order to find ourselves.

the 4th house is also home of the ic, known as where we are born and raised on parents' values. the mc, located in the 10th house, is where we must go to become ourselves as our own individuals.

Ceres Observations (childhood/parent addition)

9h or Sagittarius ceres people may have had parents that had two different ideas of parenting, one being strict and one giving freedom. One of them may have been emotionally distant or absent in some way at some point. Their Parents may have taught them or surrounded them with their culture a lot, and traveled a lot whether it be alone or with them.

people with 4h/cancer ceres may have been undervalued or had less attention from the mother but still attached to her, if they have siblings the mother could've given their siblings more attention than they them at some point. I've seen these people to prefer their mother more than their father or stick with their mother a lot tbh.

I've seen many people (including me) who have their ceres connected to some Neptune influence tend to have one or both parents deal with addiction or drug abuse most of the time, maybe witnessing it with their own eyes or not at all. One or both of the parents could've had a hard time connecting with the real world and maybe could've been neglectful at some point. This usually applies to those who have it negatively aspected or in 12h

10h/Capricorn ceres people usually have one or both parents who are workaholics and usually paid attention to their work than them. Their parents often chose their careers and money more which can cause a lot of neglect at some point. They might not have been an emotionally expressive parent; instead, they may have shown you that they cared by merely providing for you. Their parents usually try to put their work expectations on them.

8h/Scorpio ceres (me including) people can have parents who had trouble financially, they borrow money but can usually not pay it back like that. Their parents may have even asked them for money from them but weren't finically stable to give it back. Their parents may have projected their trauma or emotional pain onto them or usually teach them to suppress their feelings. People tend to trust these people easily. They may also have witnessed traumatizing things that's happened to their parents. Type of people who try to heal others but themselves

I've seen many Virgo ceres people learn organizational skills, helping others etc. at a very young age at some point cause their parents may have been a bit messy and busy with other stuff.

Taurus/2h people tend to have one or both parents who buy their love, to substitute the lack of affection or nurturing whether it be emotional or physical, this usually applies to those who have it well-aspected. These people have the types of parents who excuse the fact that they give materialistic things to them or provide for them so that they can't give proper affection. If it's negatively aspected or afflicted it's the complete opposite, they would've lacked proper materialistic/needs and being financially stable.

People with ceres-saturn negative aspects may have had too much or too little freedom/ restrictions from those who raised them. Their father or a masculine figure that was in their life might of been very cold or distant.

Sun-ceres people may have generally lacked attention from their parents, which gives them low esteem and looking for attention else where . this could apply to Venus as well but they try to find this in their own partners or love interest

— a lil astro notes 4 July🌷

navi: masterlist I — masterlist II

hi guys it's jenx🤍 it's been a while since my last astro observation isn't it? i hope u guys will enjoy this small thing i put together<3 enjoy angels<3

�� taurus rising/ taurus in the first people need a lot of attention and validation. this is especially true if their chart has extra fixed placements. it is understandable since these people give often and it is only fair for them to expect the same energy in return. their pet peeves are ungrateful people.

🌷 Venus dominant can be classified into two categories: those who desire beauty and everything that is idealistic, and those who want sensuous pleasure. when Venus is well aspected, the native is kind, helpful, philantropic, and artistic.

🌷 mars-pluto aspects in synastry may mean the relationship may be extremely triggering to both parties. pluto is obsessive and controlling and mars is combative but argumentative. not an easy one to manage in relationships especially the square aspects.

🌷 sagittarius moon is an expansive placement. people with this placement are naturally lovable and people usually come to them for advices. however, they may keep their issues to themselves often. they're only vocal about their issues when they deem its time to. the type to be very nostalgic in private.

🌷 virgo rising individuals age like fine wine. they are THE milf placement. they have this flair of mystery and royalty to their beauty. very easy on the eyes. they're also very chatty once you get to know them, usually are very up to date on almost everything.

🌷 scorpio (pluto) in the 1st are known to be mysterious but they usually are not as private as scorpio (pluto) in the 4th or scorpio (pluto) in the 10th house. these people prioritize privacy extremely high. they would go to great distance to make sure of this.

🌷 don't try to fill ur life with people who are dominant of the element you lack. when these people leave your life you may feel extremely drained, lost and in deep denial. instead, try to balance this energy by adopting the themes of that element yourself. remember, you already have everything you seek within you.

🌷 don't try to fill ur life with people who are dominant of the element you lack. when these people leave your life you may feel extremely drained, lost and in deep denial. instead, try to balance this energy by adopting the themes of that element yourself. remember, you already have everything you seek within you.

🌷 people with moon-MC aspects have big hearts. some may dislike having to display their emotions publicly especially if they have harsh aspects as they strongly think its "unprofessional" but they deep down appreciate emotionally honest people. usually feel a burden to carry on the family legacy too.

🌷 mars-jupiter aspects in one's chart point to love for adrenaline rush. these people seek for thrills and pleasure. they can be hard workers but they know how to relax and party too! they may be into stuff like extreme sports or fast cars haha

🌷 sun square moon people can be a bit of a pessimist sometimes but they have a weirdly charming way with their sarcastic nature. very alert and aware of their public and private self, yet they dislike having to explain themselves too much.

🌷 people with the sign you have in your 8th house as their placements are the people that you might have a love hate relationship with or just naturally more intense relationship than usual. OR the sign that sits in your 8th house displays traits that can trigger you in ways you can't necessarily describe and tend to avoid admitting to.

🌷 venus trine pluto natives when younge are extremely promiscuous and can be very seductive. they enjoy intense companies and secretly love attention. but once they meet someone who is just as passionate and devoted as them deep down, they will allow themselves to finally open to falling in love.

🌷 sun conjunct venus people love having their partner's full attention. they need someone who can devote themselves to them fully and be their safe space. they also want someone who they can be proud of and have a good laugh with. they're not as nearly superficial as people paint them to be. very devoted once in love. (similar to leo venus!!)

🌷 also sun conjunct venus people will go far if they enter some sort of beauty contests (especially if they have other positive sun/venus aspects)

🌷 Saturn in the 11th house and Mars in the 11th house usually experience painful close friendships. It's almost as if their friends may hurt them even worse than their lovers at times.

🌷 pisces ascendant energy is very comforting to be around. their lives usually consist of going through a lot of hardships when young but all their prayers will be answered with time. these jupiter children have big hearts but may experience a lot of jealousy from others when young.

🌷 my kinda odd personal favourites to have in synastry are actually moon in fire houses (1st, 5th, 9th houses). this is because the house person usually believe in the planet person A LOT. and the pair gives off bestfriend for life energy because they just have this blind faith (especially 9th house) in one another's ability. arguments may often occur due to emotional misunderstanding but these people are more likely to hear each other out than most tbh. they deeply want to understand the others unconsciously.

🌷 venus in second house in synastry is just 🥹. i honestly like this placement even more than venus in 7th house synastry because 7th house can also be the house of close enemies (yup) but 2nd house is just a bundle of joy for venus to thrive in from my observation. so giving and loving vocally and they enjoy each other's comfort so much sitting in complete silence feel amazing. very lovey dovey and giving. most likely to get comfortable with one another.

🌷 cancer rising as well as leo rising people value kindness and goodness in people. they may surround themselves with different kind of people but the ones they choose to keep close are usually very good-natured, can be a little bit naive but also extremely supportive and honourable. they actually adore honest people.

🌷 virgo mars people sense of humour is elite. their laugh is so contagious and they're often the funniest when they're unapologetically being themselves. the type to be very polite and socially smart as well.

🌷 saturn in 2nd house is THE hustler placement. spend a lot of money but they'll make it back in no time;) your money is safe with them (kinda).

🌷 being loved by a libra rising is honestly once in a life time kind of experience. they are so loving and they'll always prioritize you. but be aware of their sensitivity and secret need to control. make sure you follow up on your promises or your libra rising bae will be awake at 3am thinking about that for the next 20 years. super generous with their lovers too.

love,

⚜️🌷Finding lost things with astrology help🌷⚜️

Did you know that astrology can help to find lost things? If your ring, keys, or even phone are missing, you better keep reading because I will tell you how to find them🤍

The moment when you realize that you have lost something is the most important because the question is “born”. Check your time and place when you acknowledge that you lost something. Then go to Astro.com or your other preferred website, and create a new chart with the information about your lost item.

When the chart is created, you can now start the investigation haha.

1. You need to find a planet that represents your lost item.

Sun - gold items, things in yellow, orange color. Something that belongs to the father or husband. Batteries. Sunglasses.

Moon - silver items. Something that belongs to the wife or mother. Feminine products. Food, cooking utensils (except sharp things).

Mercury - documents, paper, journals, pens/pencils, notes, books, letters, homework, library card. Things that are related to education/studies. Bicycle, car. Keys.

Venus - cosmetics, jewelry, clothes (except shoes and belts). Money. Fluffy and soft things. Sweets.

Mars - sharp items (knife, scissors, knitting needles, etc). Things in red color. Warming and metal items. Sport inventory. Things related to the military.

Jupiter - big items. Something very expensive and valuable. Items in purple color. Encyclopedia, thick books. Notes from lectures. Souveniers, things that have been brought from a foreign land. Glasses/lenses.

Saturn - solid, heavy, or cold items. Things in black color. Leather items. Something old. Shoes, belts. Measuring devices, crystals. Watch.

Uranus - Technology, phone, camera, chargers. Parachute. High/long items. Things related to science, electricity.

Neptune - music, photography, headphones. Liquids (perfumes, alcohol, chemicals). Medicine. Harmful substances like cigarettes and drugs.

Pluto (used rarely) - very specific things, video-making technology.

If you have no idea which planet can represent your lost item, use 2nd house. It's universal because it rules over our belongings.

Now that you know which planet represents your item, check the house placement.

If you are sure that the item is lost in your house then use this interpretation:

1st house -> near the entrance door, in outwear pockets, corridor.

2nd house -> near personal belongings (ex. Jewelry box, etc.), kitchen.

3rd house -> on the table, in drawers, near documents. In a place where the most communication happens.

4th house -> on the floor, in the basement, under the bed or carpet, in the dining room, in parents/grandparents room.

5th house -> children’s room, living room, entertainment area, near children’s toys.

6th house -> working area, utility room.

7th house -> bedroom, near partners belongings.

8th house -> in a trash can, in a dirty place, in sewerage.

9th house -> studying area, on a bookshelf, balcony, terrace, next to souvenirs.

10th house -> in a high place, attic, on closet.

11th house -> guests room, next to the window, on the windowsill.

12th house -> in a dark place, behind something, furthest room, bathroom, pool.

If you are sure that the lost item isn't at your house, then use this interpretation:

1st house -> somewhere near your home, near the entrance door.

2nd house -> place where was the payment made, atm.

3rd house -> car, in public transport, kindergarten, street, at your neighbor or siblings' place.

4th house -> in your parents/grandparents' place, your other property.

5th house -> in the entertainment place, restaurant, nightclub, at the exhibition.

6th house -> in the workplace, hospital, salon.

7th house -> the item is with another person. Possibly stolen.

8th house -> garbage that isn't in your house, in the cemetery, in the toilets, in the forest/woods.

9th house -> in an educational institution, in another country, airport, airplane, hotel.

10th house -> at the workplace with authorities/bosses, in state authority.

11th house -> in a friend's house, in a place where collective events occur.

12th house (saddest placement lol) -> the item is hopelessly lost, fallen into the crowd of people, and probably will not be found.

Stelliums with the item’s rulership planet are important!! It tells what else is next to the lost thing.

If the rulership planet is next to:

Sun - item is covered, hard to see. Hidden.

Moon - next to the item is something “alive”, a pet’s sleeping spot, flowers/plants, toddlers playing area.

Mercury - next to the item is something related to communication, letters, documents, papers, small electric devices.

Venus - next to the item is something beautiful, clothes, jewelry, painting. Next to something fluffy and soft.

Mars - next to the item is something red, metallic, sports inventory, working tools.

Jupiter - next to the item is something big, expensive.

Saturn - next to the item is something old, cold (fridge), a clock.

Uranus - next to the item is electric devices, a camera, computer, and laptop.

Neptune - item is next to the medicaments, liquids, chemical elements.

Pluto - item is next to something dangerous.

Hope this helped and you enjoyed reading!

Astro Observations VI

🤎Some of the things that Venus represents in astrology are: your way of loving, love language, ideal partner, type of woman you like in case you are interested in woman, how you behave when you are in love, the type of people you like attractive, your most attractive physical features, what you like to do, in which areas of your life you can attract money, where you can form harmonious relationships, your relationship with women, your feminine side, where you find peace.

🤎The planets conjunct to Venus give us the nuances of the type of beauty you have. People with Saturn conjunct Venus tend to have a refined beauty and tend to look much better with age, there is something in the way they interact with others and in their mannerisms that gives that elegant touch to their personality. They tend to give off the vibe of being wealthy people, very academic intelligence and mysterious but educated.

🤎Venus squaring Ascendant are usually people in whom others place high expectations. They are very demanding of what they are and want to achieve and it is very difficult for them to see themselves with as much light and positivity as others see them. They do not usually know how to take compliments correctly and always choose to thank when receiving one even if inside they feel that they are not what others see. They tend to be perceived differently in the eyes of many people.

🤎The 2nd house is one of the highest representatives of self-esteem. Having Venus in this house, that is, your home address, can bring with it many advantages, among them, that the native has a lot of financial support from other people, especially the couple, who has very attractive mannerisms, personality and body, but... .they feel like that? Not always. Venus can be a very superficial planet, so on many occasions that feeling of being satisfied with your body can be temporary, these natives may find a detail in themselves that collapses that self-esteem, and precisely those critical eyes can make you the native lowers his morale or self-esteem. They tend to set high expectations for themselves.

🤎Venus in the 2nd house or in the 8th house tends to attract people throughout their lives who like to give the natives money, give them gifts or provide them with a lot of financial stability. This is because Venus is the planet of love, of relationships, so its presence in the 2nd house, that is, the house of money, favors the couple or female figures to support the native financially. While in the 8th house, the house that represents the money of others, Venus is the generous touch, so it is normal for other people to give things to the native.

🤎Aquarius Venus are more selective in love than they seem. Many times their charismatic, fun and even warm attitude with other people can give the impression of being very out-going and non-judgmental with other people, and despite the fact that they are all that, they take the decision to choose a partner very seriously. . Let's not forget that this Venus is co-ruled by Saturn. But how does this Saturn-Uranus mix play a role here? These natives fully enjoy their solitude and freedom, and they know that romantic relationships are a commitment, so they think the best they can by evaluating the situation with whom to have a much more personal bond. They don’t want to waste time with someone who is not worth it, they do not want to give everything for someone who would not do the same for them and they do not want to be with a person who is or feels inferior to them.

🤎When Venus rules the 4th house, it tells us about a person who wishes they had a sense of security, harmony and love in their childhood. It is very common for these people to want to give comfort to those they love the most and give them the certainty that someone genuinely cares about their well-being. They are people who are very affectionate with those they love and always make sure to show them on a daily basis how much they love them and how much they matter in their lives.When Venus rules the 4th house, it tells us about a person who wishes they had a sense of security, harmony and love in their childhood.

They are people who are very affectionate with those they love and always make sure to show them on a daily basis how much they love them and how much they matter in their lives.

🤎Venuses ruled by outer planets tend to seek a much deeper connection with other people. A Venus ruled by Uranus (Aquarius) are looking for someone with whom they can be themselves, someone who allows them to express themselves as they are without judging them, someone with whom they can be one. Venus ruled by Neptune (Pisces) seek a very intense spiritual connection, a dream romance in which both are willing to sacrifice themselves for the other without thinking about it. Venus ruled by Pluto (Scorpio) are looking for a relationship in which they can know the depths of their partner and vice versa, an intense relationship of those that are not easily forgotten, ride or die, someone with whom it is all or nothing, love someone madly.

🤎Many people point to natives with Venus in the 12th house as people who spend their daydreaming about love, and although they are right due to the Neptunian quality of the 12th house, natives with Venus in the 3rd house aren't left behind Let us remember that the 3rd house represents our thoughts, so the quickest deduction is that these natives think a lot about love, much more than they would like to admit, since this house is ruled by the rational Mercury, which makes them love have a more rational approach in love.

🤎Speaking of natives with Venus in the 12th house, I have noticed that many of them feel disconnected from the word "love". Internally they wonder what love is, what it is to be loved by someone else, what is that feeling of warmth and nervousness when the eyes of that special someone merge with yours. Sometimes they can feel that people do not value them enough or that they do not give them as much love as they give to other people, sometimes they wonder if they are the problem and often think that they will not be loved. When the reality is that there is so much to love about them. They keep for themselves a warm and attentive heart, they keep that desire to make the other person happy and that the smile of the other is the reason for theirs. There is so much to love about this placement, so I will just tell you that they are wonderful.

🤎Those with Venus in the 8th house have a love hate relationship with the idea of ​​having a partner. At times they may desire an intense, transformative connection with another person, but later they may not want to have it for fear of being vulnerable or being too transparent with the other person. They want to find love, but it is not a wish they say lightly, and many times they try to show the opposite (that they do not need or want love). They are usually very afraid of being very intimate with a person due to the possibility of being fooled by that person, so it is a bit difficult for them to trust in love.

🤎Gemini-Aries/Scorpio mix in Venus (Gemini Venus with Scorpio/Aries degrees or vice versa, Scorpio/Aries Venus conjunct Mercury, Gemini Venus in the 8th house/1st house, Scorpio/Aries Venus in the 3rd) makes the native enjoy a tricky dual lover, someone who flirts, but be mysterious and reserved. Someone who is an enigma, someone difficult for the native to understand initially, but who over time discovers that they are very similar. The typical ENTP character, a person that you don't know what he is planning, a person that fills them with thrill, emotion and a lot of intensity that deep down has a soft spot for them. Someone who internally dies for them and plays hard to get at the beginning, but gives the native the certainty of being willing to do anything for them. This is due to the Mars-Mercury mix in their love preferences. Mercury energy in them needs stimulation, they need something that makes them think that leaves them with doubt sometimes, something versatile that tests them in some way, and Mars energy makes them want emotion, a hype of energy, a challenge , something that is not so easy for them, this is because they are like that.

[sun-moon-rising]

With Jupiter and Neptune conjunct in Pisces for the next 3-4 weeks, now is the *perfect* time to be delusional. Seriously. Lean in to the delusion. Believe to your core that everything will work out better than you could’ve ever imagined, regardless of whatever evidence in your life you think indicates otherwise.

Being delusional never really hurts, in my opinion, but if you’re someone who has always struggled with hope, now is the time to hope. This transit is straight up magic in a bottle.

Retrograde Planets

(Source: Tracy Mark’s “The Art of Chart Interpretation”)

Retrograde planets are functions of the personality which operate in an inward, indirect, subconscious, and delayed manner. They generally indicate energies which we were not encouraged to express outwardly when we were young, and which, as a result, we must develop for ourselves, in our own way and in our own time. Most people have two or three retrograde planets; zero, one or four retrogrades is unusual but not extraordinary. People who have no retrogrades develop most of the important life skills at an early age and rarely need to explore their own psychological process until one of their planets turns retrograde by progression. People with four or more retrograde planets usually feel alienated from society and struggle more than most people to find their “niche” in the world. Turning inward when very young, they experience a need to define for themselves their own unique value system, philosophy or aim in life. Complex, reflective and individualistic, these people usually have to set their own standards and forge their own paths, even if doing so means eccentricity or isolation. Regression, inhibition and withdrawal may characterize retrograde planets, but they also have considerable constructive potential in regard to self-understanding, self-directed activity and openness to unconscious and superconscious energies. Students familiar with secondary progressions should note whether retrograde planets in the natal chart have turned direct by progression, or direct planets have turned retrograde, because such changes will have a significant impact upon the personality.

In the 11th house, we tried to make the world a better place. We put all of our efforts into helping people and fighting for social justice. We made friends and, when we became old, we donated the goods we accumulated to support a good cause, something that would help getting to a greater good.

Together, the astrological houses describe all sorts of human experiences on Earth. And now, as we look back over our shoulders, we realize that our journey through the houses has been long. Having reached so far, we may think we’ve done everything there was to be done in human life, and so we are thrilled to find that there’s still one house missing: the 12th.

We have no clear idea of what goes on in this house, and, curiously, this is a critical point to grasp if we’re to understand how it works. The 12th house is the accumulation of all mysterious, greater forces that escape to our control. It represents all knowledge that is hidden to humanity, even under a scientific eye, like the mystery behind the reason of our own existence. Interestingly, it is when someone argues that our existence has no meaning that the 12th house is more powerful. It is at this moment that it makes itself noticed. If we have no meaning, then what about the complexity of our feelings?, what about our subconscious?, our dreams?, clairvoyance?, magic?, spirits?, the growing limits of this universe?, the possibility of other dimensions? and so forth.

These are all 12th house matters because we have no clear understanding of them. And whenever we try to delineate this issues or try to approach them by a more exact or practical perspective, we only discover that we know nothing about the world or how it works or to what purpose it exists. The 12th house, then, can only be accessed by sensitivity and delicacy. The 12th house is a shadowy place, and we need intuition to navigate in it.

In a more personal understanding, the 12th house dissolves everything related to it. The planets and signs expressing themselves under this influence become hard to decipher, as they become hidden, sometimes, even to the chart holder. The planets here are diluted. They express themselves in subtle ways, energy fluxes in the air, feelings with no origin, energetic vibrations, surreal dreams and inherent fears…

If the 11th house represents the collective conscious, the 12th house symbolizes the collective unconscious. Generally the planets that fall in this house describe what others cannot see in ourselves, because planetary energy becomes too subtle to be perceived by conventional ways. Being a house of mysteries, the 12th house also includes hidden enemies and treason, betrayal.

And as the 12th house symbolizes our unconsciousness, the sign and planets related to this house usually remain in the unconscious realm, inaccessible to the chart holder unless they close their eyes and try to listen to their own inner voice. It’s like trying to tune in to a specific radio station. This is possible by spiritual, mystical or religious practices, psychotherapies, isolation, meditations, artistic expression, lonely studies and even dreaming. As you may have noticed, all of these things are solitary activities, and this is behind this house’s association to reclusion. Naturally, then, all 12th house matters are potentially related to the art of healing.

Being the house before the 1st, the 12th symbolizes karmic issues that are given to us, in theory, before birth. The karmic theme of our lives is usually imprinted on ourselves at childhood by some kind of trauma, only to be made itself more clearly noticeable as we grow up. And because it is the last house, the 12th also seems to hold the karmic themes that we can only fully understand after great time has passed, once we have developed the maturity, serenity, synthesis and sensitivity to understand its complex, greater meaning. It also represents the incomprehensible events that happen to us, manifesting as destiny. Whether the individual is able to understand their 12th house as time passes, however, varies greatly between people.

Finally, the 12th house symbolizes all prisons that limit the body’s expression or movement, but do not limit the mind’s or the spirit’s growth. This is because prisons and hospitals, traditionally connected to the 12th house, symbolize places where we must realize how life is fragile, how there is something greater and more subtle orchestrating the universe. In this sense, this house also symbolizes death and sacrifice, in the sense that the body is taken, while the spirit or soul finds freedom, and in the sense that something is lost so that the mind or spirit can fulfill a greater purpose. The 12th house is about letting go of material anchors so that the we can go back to the source.

Sun in the 12th house: a child wakes up to find that the skies are covered by a single, vast cloud of grey; it’s a beautiful day. Representing people that were born right after sunrise, this Sun is about bringing light (conscious awareness) to what was previously darkened or hidden (unconscious secrets). People with this placement often can’t recognize their own individuality or their own talents, and because the 12th house rules the collective unconscious, this also means that the individual’s personality or uniqueness can be hidden away from other people’s perception. To find one’s own individuality, it is important to engage in artistic or spiritual activities, so that sensitivity develops and clouds dissipate from the emotional realm. Those with this placement are sensitive to emotional currents in the environments and can usually feel when something’s not quite right. Private and imaginative, it is dealing with the unknown, the mystical, the magic, that the individual discovers their own inner star.

Moon in the 12th house: a lost treasure chest waits at the bottom of a dark ocean, waiting patiently to be discovered. Moon in the 12th is about locking one’s feelings very deep in the unconscious. Feelings are not only feelings, but secrets that may never reach the surface of expression, as they should be kept by a beautiful veil of fantasy. The Moon in the 12th is taken to a new level of sensitivity, one in which she feels the influence of unseen origins, energies fluctuating in the air, whispers of the spirit that travel from person to person. It can be easy for the individual to feel lost amidst such a turbulent flux. Their emotional setting can be understood like a radio that perceives, simultaneously, a wide range of frequencies, and so the individual can feel confused as to what they feel is genuinely theirs or someone else’s. To build a clearer, more reliable structure, is important to direct one’s sensitivity and, more importantly, retrieve that lost treasure chest at the bottom of the ocean. It is overflowing with forgotten secrets and traumas that must be dealt with, so that the individual can see the complexity of the universe’s emotions more clearly. Those with this placement can instantly tell when people don’t feel alright or when there’s something more that is escaping to the eye’s attention, but before trying to help others or even surrender to a lover, they must learn how to take proper care of their own selves when they’re alone.

Mercury in the 12th house: leaning sweetly over a table, a novice tarot reader exams the results of a spread. Mercury in the 12th house symbolizes the ability to translate secrets of the unseen, subtle, spiritual realm. Mercury is a rational, airy planet, maybe symbolizing that the individual fears that what lurks within, but also being a symbol of curiosity, the individual is usually interested in finding out about the emotional complexity of human beings. Having Mercury in the 12th house means that the individual might need solitude to think clearly or even study, and it also means that their ways of thinking and finding out about things are secretive, mysterious, as it tends to happen behind the curtains. Sometimes, it might mean that one’s intelligence and communicative abilities, no matter how great, can go unnoticed by others. People with this placement can find it hard to communicate whenever their emotions are too unstable, since the intellectual realm is so close to the emotional one, but this also means that they can capture emotional undertones in everything, even in things unsaid.

Venus in the 12th house: prince charming carefully removes the veil from sleeping beauty’s face, only to find himself sleeping in her place. Venus in this house symbolizes that one’s relationships with objects but especially with people can be confusing, since they arise one’s deepest feelings, giving a hint that something extremely complex waits to be discovered within. If the individual, before building these relationships, has had no experience with their own emotional setting, alliances will tend to be troubled by emotions with no apparent origin. Because of the 12th house’s nature, this placement indicates that one’s relationships seem to be out of one’s control. Everything points to deep feelings that need to be recognized and understood so that relationships can be enjoyed to their fullest potential. For this reason, relationships can be scary, and so the individual can become extremely private. This means that one’s ability to value and relate to others may go unnoticed by oneself and others. Finally, Venus in the 12th dreams of a perfect partner, whatever that means, one to whom she can sweetly surrender. But this can be frightful too, since it reminds her of dying.

Mars in the 12th house: Archangel Michael, leader of God’s army, prays so that their heavenly strength can be restored. Mars in the 12th symbolizes that one’s strength and vigour are found within, and so these people tend to need some time in solitude to restore their energies. Because Mars is the planet responsible for our will to get up everyday and see our duties through, having Mars in this house means that drawing one’s attentions within in search of a power source is a daily exercise. Moreover, the individual with this placement may feel a great rush of energy whenever they deal with deep feelings of themselves or others, demonstrating great courage when it comes to finding out their own secrets. Because it is a source of fiery energy, this configuration also means that these same secrets may have some kind of violent, angry theme related to them. No matter how much society overlooks this individual’s courage or ability to fight, one is certainly aware that they have this strength, for they have survived, for years, the war in their heads.

Jupiter in the 12th house: a long-time traveler comes to find a charming abyss and, contemplating it for hours, suddenly becomes aware that the abyss has been talking to them too. As Jupiter is the astrological magnifying glass, this configuration means that the emotional realm, in all its complexity and secrecy, draws a lot of attention. This placement indicates a huge experience with one’s own fears, but the individual nevertheless needs peace and quiet to deal with their own ghosts, or otherwise risks losing emotional control. However, as much as their emotional suffering might be great, the rewards of dealing with these secrets and building a more structured, confident emotional setting are also enormous. Thus, these people benefit a lot from spiritual practice, therapy and anything really that helps them reveal their own secrets to themselves. With time, their experience might be so great, that these people grow to be spiritual mentors or act as counselors to those around them, and this goes very well with their outstanding sensitivity. They are wise when it comes to the subtle realm of energies and emotions and seem to be always helping others when it comes to these subjects, even if they find it troublesome to deal with their own issues regarding this matter and tend to so alone.

Saturn in the 12th house: an astronaut considers the starry black curtains all around him, amazed and horrified. Representing the basic fear of the unknown, Saturn in the 12th feels very uneasy, because here, despite all of his efforts, he feels that all his structures and disciplines are being constantly dissolved into Neptune’s clouds. People with this placement tend to keep a safe distance from things unclear like spirituality and their own deep feelings and secrets, usually symbolizing a sort of respect or fear towards these things. Anyway, the individual usually knows that they are much more complex than they let show, as they constantly need to be isolating themselves in order to restore balance in their emotional world. However, Saturn’s presence in this house reveals how difficult it is to let go of fear, and how difficult it is to deal face-to-face with one’s darkest demons. The planet of time and discipline in this house symbolizes that these demons tend to stay locked away, and one’s deepest emotions tend to stay supressed, as they remain in unconscious, troubled waters. The lesson usually involves facing these issues, building trust in spiritual practices and letting go of fearing anything that doesn’t have a clear, logical explanation. With time, these people may also grow to become mentors and counselors of their loved ones. As they build a stable emotional realm of their own, they often would like to help people with theirs.

Uranus in the 12th house: great clouds suddenly rise about a calm lake, sending lightning bolts to strike its serenity. For people with this placement, radical changes in their lives usually come from within. They understand that life is unpredictable and shouldn’t be a stable, rigid experience. This doesn’t mean, however, that change is a comfortable thing. People with Uranus in the 12th may see life in fear that a greater forcer will turn their lives upside down, but it is also in these moments of sudden transformation that they experience freedom and may break the shackles that tied them to their inner ghosts. To better understand this changing processes, it’d be advisable to retreat and be in solitude for a time, in order to listen to one’s own subtle intuition. The 12th house secrets, when under Uranus’ influence, can also have a violent or shocking connotation. Moreover, this symbolizes that one’s sensitivity is restless, and the energy fluxes that one is able to perceive are often agitated and strangely willing to make themselves more noticeable.

Neptune in the 12th house: a scared child, alone in the darkness of their room, suddenly smiles, feeling the warming protection of their guardian angel. People with this placement bring Neptune’s extreme sensitivity back to its original home. Every now and then, the soul sends messages to the consciousness’ surface, pointing to feelings and fears that need tending to. For these people, dealing with one’s own secrets involves isolation and solitude. On a more negative manifestation, however, it involves escapism. There is a profound amazement for everything that is unclear or inexplicable, and people with this placement love to infuse their lives with this feeling that there is something greater behind the scenes. Neptune in the 12th is about being confident in one’s unique spirituality and sensitivity, and this placement usually indicates great potential for spiritual growth through solitude and spiritual practices. As they’re intimately connected to the source of everything, these people can attain great spiritual enlightenment as long as they stay true to themselves and develop confidence and sensitivity to deal with their own fears.

Pluto in the 12th house: a professional diver finds a scintillating jewel at the bottom of the sea; once they reach for it, however, they find themselves unable to return to the surface. Pluto in the 12th is about listening to the soul’s desire to transform. People with this placement know how complex and rich the human mind can be, and they find it rather exciting to dive into unconscious waters in a search for answers. As they dive deeper and deeper, however, and make their way amidst the 12th house clouds, they will find that their lives will be changed forever. Returning is not an option. Moreover, these people also will need solitude to better dive and find what they’re looking for, but if not balanced this may as well mean that they’ll use of escapist behaviours for the sake of seeing truth. The power of these people reveals itself mostly in extreme situations, when they are pressured to act in emergency. It is then that they can activate Pluto’s unyielding determination in their favour. Having Pluto in this house also means that its secrets may have an extremely dark theme around it, and this adds to the tendency of a life-changing experience with spirituality and therapy.

Ceres & Comfort

Ceres in the birth chart provides insight into what we need for comfort, reassurance, and nurturing. Looking to Ceres in your chart can help reveal what best helps you feel better when you’re down and what you tend to provide others when you sense they need help. Examining Ceres is great for developing beneficial self-care techniques and is also very helpful in learning how to understand that different types of comforting have different impacts on different people.

How to care for each Ceres sign when upset:

Ceres in Aries: Believe that I can do this on my own just like I believe in you. Don’t pressure me or else I’ll avoid what I need to do. Let me make my own decisions. Express your confidence in me. Don’t hold me back.

Ceres in Taurus: Hugs, touch, and physical assurances go a long way with me. Most of the common things that come to mind when we think of comforting someone can help me, such as a thoughtful gift or a good meal. I just want to feel like someone cares about me, and that’s best expressed to me through things I can engage with on a sensory level.

Ceres in Gemini: Let me know you understand me and hear what I’m saying. I may have a lot to say or a little to say depending on the situation, but don’t talk over me when I’m stressed or put any words in my mouth. Finding media or characters I can relate to helps me make sense of what’s distressing me, so sometimes just watching TV together is the most helpful thing.

Ceres in Cancer: Spoil me with a little extra affection. Things like food, soft blankets, and a nap can be very helpful, but it’s even better if you can share this with me by providing words of comfort, hugs, and sympathy. I may need to cry for a while, but it’s just because I need to get the distressing emotions out of me before I can work on recovering.

Ceres in Leo: Give me attention and focus on helping me. Don’t make me feel selfish or needy for wanting your help. Cheer me on and be proud of me for my successes. I’ll figure things out quickly if I have the confidence that someone is watching me and encouraging me to feel better as soon as possible.

Ceres in Virgo: Help keep my environment clean and organized. Accomplish tasks without me having to remind or ask you. I probably have some go-to strategies I rely on to feel better, so if you know those, stick to them and don’t try anything that surprises me when I’m not feeling well. Bonus points if you can remember my unique preferences without me telling you.

Ceres in Libra: I want someone to sympathize with me and almost share my pain on some level. You can do this by telling me a time you went through something similar. Don’t leave me alone. Validate my upset feelings and reassure me that I can be upset. Once I feel like I have permission to feel however I am, I can start talking about solutions.

Ceres in Scorpio: Give me space. Let me think. Don’t question my tactics. Joke about the situation with me or temporarily distract me with a more riveting puzzle (like a strategy game or something like sudoku). I’ll figure things out if you stop bothering me about it.

Ceres in Sagittarius: Let’s get outside and clear the air. Laugh it off with me. Let me ramble to you. Don’t give me a solution because I’ll figure it out on my own. Don’t hyperfixate on things more than I already am. If you move on from the situation, I’ll soon follow.

Ceres in Capricorn: Let’s solve this problem because I need a solution. If you’re not going to help me in a practical way, don’t bother trying to involve yourself. I’ll figure it out on my own in the end. It’s not as big of a deal as you’re probably making it. Too much attention will make me uncomfortable, so just move on from the problem.

Ceres in Aquarius: Google the answer to my problem. Talk to me on the phone about. Recognize that I’ll probably ask a lot of different people for advice and encourage me to do so. Help me feel like my needs are unique and understand that no one else feels the same as I do. Admire me for being special. Call me a good friend.

Ceres in Pisces: Hold me while I cry. Distract me with something else. Listen to music with me. Let me spend time around animals. You probably can’t do anything for me that’s going to have a visible difference, but I want you to try anyway. When I feel better, I’ll remember all the effort you put in.

Ceres 💖✨✨

In astrology (in my opinion), Ceres is what we have experienced in our childhood and what we have made of it. It is how we first nurture ourselves and how we then use our experiences to nurture others. Ceres is the comfort, nurturing, and caring nature in all of us and where it stemmed from.

Ceres in Aries: There was once a time in your childhood that you had to learn to take care of yourself. Whether is was because your parents were not there physically or emotionally, or maybe you had to take the role of the parent and care for your siblings. Whatever it may be, your nurturing blossomed from a lack thereof and has its roots set in self-dependence. You may have started doing things like cooking and cleaning at an age younger than most, or maybe you were forced to be your own emotional support. Your wound was put there by physical and/or emotional neglect and was healed by independence, if you weren’t going to get enough nurturing from someone else then you were going to nurture yourself. Your parents cared for themselves so you did to.You do not particularly like to be cared for by other others anymore because you have learned to care for yourself, even at the lowest times there’s still a will to self nurture inside. When you need healing you move, whether it be through running, dancing, pacing, or just regular everyday movement. You do not stop moving, therefore never allowing a wound to sit and fester like it did in your childhood. And to others you teach the same, you tell them to rely on themselves because nothing and no one else is always reliable, you would show your child how to be independent and how to do things for themselves, there is always a need to be two steps ahead of the chance of neglect and that is how you prefer to heal others. Above all, Ceres in Aries is the unrelenting method of rising above a childhood.

Ceres in Taurus: As a child, your environment was consumed by material possessions. Your parents probably put a great emphasis on money or value, whether it was in excess or there was a lack of it. And think about it, what does nurturing mean to you, and were you truly nurtured in your childhood? With Ceres in Taurus your parents nurtured you with possessions, this could be manifested through an unhappy child being given toys/whatever they want to “emotionally heal” them or to apologize. It could’ve been your parents constantly preaching that you should be grateful and do not have a reason to be upset because they work hard to buy food,clothes, housing, etc. The method that you parents chose is up to your life, but one constantly repeated theme would be physical nurturing to replace emotional nurturing. It was the use of possessions to say /I care about you/ that dominated your childhood, and like any child, you learned from your parents. You have learned to nurture yourself with materials, and things that please the body but not always the soul. Skin care products like creams, luxurious soaps, or anything that would help to nourish the outside of your body probably comfort you. Rich, comfort foods are a common indulgence, and the best way to enjoy food for you may be snuggled beneath a blanket or comfortably in a bed. You work hard to surround yourself with possessions because possessions were your childhood, they are what shaped you and what made you. As the only form of nurturing you may know you also work tirelessly to be able to put a lot of love into choosing a gift for others. And a gift from you is really just an expression of genuine love and appreciation, as your parents thought that gift giving was to you. (It wasn’t).

Ceres in Gemini: Your childhood was erratic, inconsistent, maybe even chaotic. It was defined by spontaneous trips to various places, whether it was to a store, to someone else’s house, or just a random trip to get out of town. However, through all of this, one or more of your parents may have been slightly detached. They may have said “I love you, I love you, I love you,” but never actually showed it. They may have tried to nurture you through words but failed to realize that you needed more. And so you filled the spaces that they left vacant with what you knew, words. You may have started talking or writing at a young age. You may have relied heavily on interaction with your siblings or with the people that lived around you. You probably got lost in one too many books. Or, you got lost in the process of writing one. You find comfort in some form of communication because to you communication is the steadiest reminder of home. You may have been unable to express your thoughts completely to your parents or to others so you get words out in whatever way that you can, and it didn’t have to be through talking. And now, nurtured by words, you have grown to take care of the mind. In education lies security and comfort, learning new things allows you to internally expand. You thrive off of people asking how you’ve been, off of text messages, phone calls, writing, journaling, basically any way that you can express yourself through words. And as it is only human nature to care for others as we haves cared for ourselves, you like to do similar things for others. If someone is upset you attempt to talk it out, to give them verbal or written advice on their current situation and how to approach it, or maybe you distract them from the situation as a whole and decide to educate them. You have learned to nurture with the mind and rationalization, for you deeply emotional things may be difficult to grasp or to handle.

Ceres in Cancer: Above all, Ceres in cancer revolves around affection. Either your parental figures lacked true affection, comfort, or love, or they were overbearing and extremely clingy. You associate home with security, whether your childhood was secure and comfortable or generally unsafe and always changing. A Ceres in cancer childhood is as deep as as fluid as the ocean, and one aspect can drastically influence the expression of this placement. However, no matter what placement you have, you will always find comfort in a home. When you are upset or uneasy you nurture yourself by staying in a reliable home, by protecting yourself from the outside world and from its negative influences. You may enjoy cooking meals that remind you of your childhood, or decorating your home to truly reflect your personality and who you believe that you are. And, as probably expected, crying to release any emotional stress or deep rooted pain will always be healing. No matter how your childhood was, you always claim your childhood as a part of who you are. You may have a strong attachment to the place(s) that you lived when you were younger, and you will always be one to defend what or where you consider to be a home. You nurture others the in the same ways, you care for them through their emotions, and if someone is down you may have a strong urge to invite them to your home to comfort them. A home cooked meal is always a remedy for the sadness of others in your heart, and it may not be uncommon for you to cook a meal for a loved one in times of distress. For you, a home is love and love is a home.

Ceres in Leo: There was a deep lack of real attention in the childhood. You may have felt like the shadow to your parents’ spotlight, with a parent/parents that were boisterous, attention seeking, and controlling. As a child your self expression was a like a plant without water or sunlight, with your parents blocking out everything that could nurture it. And so what you could not find in your parent(s) you found in others. Whether it was brief moments of captivating others, when you feel like you are finally being acknowledged, or simply engaging with others. Compliments will provide warmth to a self image that was given little regard, and through other people taking notice of you you will grow. You do not want to fit in you only want to be heard, to leave the shadow that you stayed in for far too long and to expand who you are. You take care of others in making sure that they are never ignored, making them the temporary spotlight of your life and truly listening to what needs to be heard. You give constant praise and showers of compliments to whoever you think needs them, and you will always prefer lifting someone up instead of putting a person down. Playfulness, lightness, and humor may be evident in what you choose to do to lift someone’s spirits. Bear hugs and warm embraces may also be a way for you to show someone that you care. In your heart, being who you are is the best form of self love.

Ceres in Virgo: Early on in life, you may have been plagued by responsibility after responsibility, service after service. You were never a child only a poorly disguised adult, someone who had to learn to tenderly care for and be responsible for a home. Maybe your parent(s) were eager to find mistakes in all of your work so you pushed yourself harder, or maybe your parent(s) were unable/did not take care of your home so you stepped in. The first title that you claimed in your childhood was the laborer. The hard worker. Someone who provides a service to others. Someone deprived of the lightheartedness of a childhood. And this carried on into the rest of your life, you have learned how to take care of yourself and others by doing work. You comfort yourself with structured, efficient routines that you prefer to use as often as you can. You are comforted by keeping a clean and nourishing diet, one that you believe assists your body with nutritional benefits the most. You take tender care of your health, always attempting to heal what is wrong. And something that tends to lift your mood is self improvement, self help books, self help advice, anything that you believe will raise the standards you have put on yourself and on your life. You care for people by doing things for them, whether it’s helping them develop a structured daily routine, helping them do a certain task, or helping them organize something. The deepest way that you show your love and your nurturing, even though it may not seem like it to others, is through constructive criticism. As a child you always felt like you had to better yourself, so you reflect yourself onto others, you want others to get the feeling you that you acquire when you feel like you have improved yourself or something else. Your advice is never meant to be cruel or harsh, it is only to nurture and to assist others in their personal growth.

Ceres in Libra: Your childhood may have constantly fluctuated and was never constant, with acute highs and lows that came to define it. Your parents may have separated, were never together at all, or have had excessive arguments and conflicts. Your parent(s) may have blamed you for things that you had no control over, and may have treated you with general unfairness. Your appearance could’ve also been something that your parent(s) focused on, emphasizing how valuable that they believe the appearance to be and treating you more like a doll than a child. And with the hardships of your childhood you strive to attain a balanced and steady life. You want to be able to explain yourself instead of being pinned down, you want to express your opinions and to have them valued. You have taken your appearance back from others and only take care of your appearance for yourself and for no one else. Instead of only relying on the physical form for appearance you find beauty in things like art and music, beauty that you can create but beauty that you do not have to hold. A pleasant life with well expressed opinions and aesthetically pleasing undertones is what you may desire, and as you desire this for yourself you want to ensure the same for others. To care for a person you will listen and you will reassure them. You value their opinions and their viewpoints and validate them, making them feel as if someone finally understands where they’re coming from. You will create peace for them in the midst of adversity, and you yourself are a steady and balanced home. Use this gift to balance others.

Ceres in Scorpio: A home was always a place of intensity and of secrets. Your parent(s) may have been through something emotionally devastating when you were too young to remember, and you had to learn how to care for them even though you may not have fully understood was wrong. Maybe your parent(s) took up too much space emotionally, and your emotions were suppressed and made minimal to make room for theirs. How you felt as a child may have been constantly overshadowed by the constant emotional extreme(s) of your parents or the rejection of them all together. As a result of your childhood your heart harbors secrets, and the more personal secrets that you have the more comfortable you may feel. To take of yourself you feel as if you have to isolate yourself, to finally give your heart enough room to take full hold of deeply buried emotions and memories. Comfort is being free of the emotional influences of others, and to let yourself feel in solitude. Comfort is keeping in experiences and feelings that have hurt you so that no one can hurt you in the same way again. Comfort manifests in deep spiritual and physical experiences, interactions that you feel in your soul. Your ability to heal others is a gift unlike any other, an experienced shoulder to cry in in the face of trauma and heartbreak, you know what it means to lose yourself in a moment or an emotion. You care for another until you believe that they are strong enough to stand on their own, passionately working with a person to heal something that has emotionally scarred them in the way that you may have/tried to heal your parent(s). Be careful to not take on other’s pain.

Ceres in Sagittarius: Sometimes your parent(s) when missing. Sometimes your parent(s) were gone. Physically or emotionally, your parents were not always there, either with you or for you. Freedom for you was either in excess or was restricted, freedom for you came to define both you and your home. You may have traveled frequently in your childhood, particularly on long trips or on out of country vacations. You learned to escape difficult issues and emotions as a child, you learned that the best thing to do in the face of adversity was to leave. To nurture yourself you make your life free of rigid restrictions, free of being confined to space, free of as many things as you can. So when life gets difficult and your heart becomes tender, you leave. Get away. Disappear. Distance yourself. Your childhood has taught you that the only way to heal is to leave, to outrun the things and the people that have hurt you, to be known as someone who’s always halfway gone. You nurture yourself with wide, open spaces, with plenty of room to breathe, with fresh experiences and fresh people. And you would proudly say that you didn’t go back at all. You probably would not want to attach yourself too strongly to others, to get too invested in caring for those that are no longer strong. So you care from a distance, you may encourage others to get up on their own and to keep going, that independence is vital, and that you cannot truly care for yourself without personal freedom. You may enjoy nurturing people through opening their minds to new ideas and different ways of thinking that open up a multitude of possibilities. Above all you have attributed comfort to expansion.

Ceres in Capricorn: Like Ceres in Virgo, you may have been forced to grow up extremely fast in your childhood, and were never able to comfortably experience being a child. You had to become responsible for yourself and your actions in place of your parent(s). Your parent(s)’s life may have revolved around work and not around you, which maid their disposition stern and with work and structure oriented qualities. They may have believed that providing for you was an acceptable substitute for affection. Your parent(s) probably had high expectations and goals for you, and wanted you to strive towards what they believed that you should achieve in life. As a result of your childhood you favor being independent and find great comfort in being the one in control. You like to do things in certain ways instead of making people do things for you. You love to care for others by teaching others to care for themselves instead of relying on others. You prefer to help people find a structured path in life and to assist them in beginning to achieve their personal goals. Overall, you want to ensure a successful and rewarding life for others in the way that you parents may have wanted for you.

Ceres in Aquarius: Your home life as a child may have been erratic and unpredictable. Your parent(s) may have had a greatly fluctuating personality or irregular moods, which further destabilized your home. On the contrary, your parent(s) could’ve been aloof and void of most emotions. To deal with these things you’ve learned how to detach yourself from your life, to observe situations with eyes that are not you own. That emotional bond with your parent(s) may have been missing, and sometimes they have felt more like a friend than family. Your sense of individuality was ignored in your childhood, and you may have felt as if your identity was not valid. Just like you cared for yourself as a child by detaching yourself from your life, you care for yourself by never getting too attached to anyone or anything. You are probably more comforted by large friend groups or communities then small groups, and prefer to have your identity validated by greater numbers of people. Caring for others directly is not your preference, as you feel that you shouldn’t get overly attached, so you prefer to nurture from a comfortable distance. You encourage people to always be themselves and to never let others define them, to express their individuality and personal freedom to all of society, just as you like/would like to do.

Ceres in Pisces: As a child, you may have felt as if you did not know your parent(s). That doesn’t mean that they were literally not there, it just means that who they were was kept hidden to you. You may not have gotten to know your parent(s) on a spiritual and deeply personal level, and sometimes they may have felt more like someone who was just there than someone who was there for you. You could’ve been the victim in your childhood, whether it was through physical harm, bullying, general issues that your parent(s) had to “rescue” you from. Seclusion and alone time may have been a large part of you growing up, and more often than not you were probably left with just your imagination to entertain yourself, like having an imaginary friend, making little worlds with your toys, or being entertained by things that you have come up with. As you’ve gotten older, you probably enjoy things that nurture you on a spiritual level. Meditation, crystals, and other spiritual practices may help you soothe yourself and your troubles. Spending time alone with yourself and with your own emotions would also be a form of comfort for you. Animals and pets would be a great stress reliever, because they can provide the unconditional love that humans may lack. To take care of others, you will prefer to delve deep into another’s heart, to fully understand their emotions and their soul before you choose how to comfort them. You overflow with love and affection to others, and your love and affection is the kind that is gentle and persists. Be careful not to absorb other’s feelings, and learn to separate yourself from others sometimes so that you can distinguish your emotions from anyone else’s.

Juno Signs: Natal Chart

Juno is what we envision when we want to commit. It is the asteroid that represents marriage and focuses on commitments and partnerships. It is a side of us that comes out when we are seeking a partner for the long term. Our Juno signs can give us insight into how the relationship dynamic can manifest with time, especially as those involved in a relationship want to take things to a deeper level. Juno allows us to see what where we need to feel empowered, where we should create a balance of power and how we should control how that energy is unleashed if we are resorting to manipulative tactics. In Greek mythology, Juno is known as Hera, who was Zeus’ wife. It is known that Zeus had a reputation for being a cheater and his loyalties to Hera were questionable. This is where the darker side of Juno can manifest, especially when we have been betrayed or cheated on. It can make us question the stability of our relationships and what can push us to take on more of a controlling stance. Understanding our Juno sign can help us establish more solid foundations with partnerships and teach us how to grow from them and bring more love that will help us evolve into better versions of ourselves.

Juno in Aries – Subconsciously, this Juno sign wants a partner that can bring balance to them. The Aries Juno needs to shine brightly, without fear of being overshadowed and their partner needs to learn this early on. They need a partner that understands their needs and wants and is able to handle their competitive personality. Success is what the Aries Juno strives for and they are actively looking for a team player who will work with them to keep the energy going. A partner who understands your need to express your individuality and is there to keep you grounded will teach you maturity and growth.

Juno in Taurus – Juno here seeks stability that is different from the Aries. They want a foundation to be built with their partner and the more that they are able to acquire together, the more comfortable this Juno sign will feel. This Juno sign can become materialistic and egocentric if they lose touch with their reality. A focus on amassing and accumulating can be a detriment for people with this Juno sign. A partner that is able to help them evolve and understand that there is more than the material, will make a Taurus Juno become more connected spiritually. Juno here must learn that stability and wealth cam evolve into generosity and care for others.

Juno in Gemini – Gemini wants a partner that is able to appreciate their childish side as well as the intellectual within. The free-spirited Gemini seeks someone that will mirror their wants and needs, as well as take on the role of a teacher. The Gemini Juno is enamored with someone that they can look up to, respect and admire. Of course, this person must be wise, practical and willing to learn and grow with them. The power of a connection here stems from communication and without it, the Gemini Juno will lose interest quickly. A bond here created by the Gemini Juno with their partner will be everlasting, enduring and filled with honesty.

Juno in Cancer – The home takes a priority with this Juno. When they take on domestic roles, it brings them a sense of connection with their roots. They will take on the role of the head of household, because the home is where they feel grounded. The Cancer Juno seeks a partner that will respect their need for privacy, family and their roots. When they are in a partnership, they expect their partners to take on the roles of support to ensure that their home is protected. This Juno sign does not need anyone to take care of them, because they can handle anything on their own. However, if they allow someone in their life that they want a future with, they expect them to treat their family, homes and memories with the same care and respect.

Juno in Leo – Love here is expressed in a very passionate way with this Juno sign. Therefore, it is essential that their partners provide them with the reassurance needed to keep them motivated and going strong. The Leo Juno values themselves and they all know their worth, so if their partners are downplaying their worthiness, this can cause conflict. The Leo Juno loves unconditionally and will be the provider and support system in a relationship, as long as they know that their energy is reciprocated. They need a partner that is not going to flake on them, that will be their right hand and will help them to evolve. Leo is the Emperor and they want to find someone equally magnificent to them.

Juno in Virgo – Devotion is expressed here in a different way from Juno in Leo. Virgo wants to do the best to help those around them and they are ready to take on the role of the problem solvers for their partner. With this Juno placement, the native seeks a partner that will see them as a support system and will trust them with their problems. The Virgo Juno is always there to give their partner a helping hand. They need someone that will appreciate their help and practicality. Their partner will be lost in the goodness that this Juno placement has and the amount of love and joy that they have to offer. While many might see Virgo Juno as rigid, their partners will grow to see that they are caring and deeply devoted to them in a sacred bond that only the two will be aware of.

Juno in Libra – With Juno here, the native is focused on creating an environment that is welcoming to their partner. Libra Juno loves the idea of committing and being with someone that they can build with for the future. Their perfect Juno partner will respect them and their boundaries as well as encourage them to be more autonomous. The Libra Juno is willing to sacrifice it all for their partners, and so they need someone that can teach them to tap their independent side. The Libra Juno needs harmony and peace because it allows them to create balance in their home. They are great communicators and listeners, which is helpful to their relationships. Their partners will love spending time with them since they can listen and will be genuinely interested in helping them find solutions to their problems.

Juno in Scorpio – Juno in Scorpio natives seek to understand the souls of their partners. Every truth, lie and story untold will emerge from the partners of these natives. They have a gift when it comes to seducing their partners. This is not due to mysticism, but because the Scorpio Juno is all or nothing in their relationships and they let you know from early on. Scorpio Juno natives are not here to play or waste time, they go after what they want mercilessly and will abandon people when they see flaws that are irreparable. This Juno sign captivates with their knowledge and their emotional vulnerabilities. All they ask for is a partner that they can trust and love fearlessly.  

Juno in Sagittarius – This Juno sign is filled with magic and surrealist qualities. While the archer advertises that they seek a partner that expands their horizons and understands their need to be free, they secretly want someone that will join their adventures. Uniting for the Juno in Sagittarius means merging and becoming one free spirited couple that wants to change the world for the better. They want someone that will learn with them, encourage their passions and keeps them on their toes. Their partner will respect their boundaries when they need a quick break from the world, but they will always be there waiting for them with a backpack in hand, ready for their next adventure.

Juno in Capricorn – Capricorn is the pioneer and the leader. This Juno sign wants to establish their place in the world and their partners will echo their needs and wants as well. A sign that is associated with power and elegance, the sea-goat wants only the best and their partner has to represent this as well. While the Capricorn Juno shines to the world, their partner will provide the support system that they need behind the scenes. This Juno sign will gladly take on the role as the protector, taking on the challenges and thriving while their partner cheers them on. Capricorn Juno wants someone who won’t overshadow them, but will still have an independent spirit.

Juno in Aquarius – To be one with others and belong to no one, is what the Juno in Aquarius seeks. They seek a partner that wants them to be different and will encourage them to be proud of their individuality. This Juno sign might even seek someone who is just as different as they are or is willing to understand the complexities behind them. Their partner needs to be a philosopher, a mentor and a maverick. The connection that they form with the people they love will be a memorable experience for all parties involved. Juno here seeks to break away from the social norms, to destroy and reconstruct. Their ideal partner will be right at their side, making changes.

Juno in Pisces – A universal union is what the Juno in Pisces seeks. They do not mind getting lost in the web of love and passion that their partner has to offer. So, it is imperative for the native to find a partner that is willing to serve the universe with them. Their love will be different, filled with an intensity that might scare others away. Juno in this sign wants to lose themselves in order to be reborn and evolve. If they find a partner that is not willing to be as self-sacrificing as they are, it can cause them pain and hurt. The Juno in Pisces has a psychic union with their partner, understanding their emotions and wanting their best to heal them. This Juno sign is not for the weak and their partner needs to be strong to handle the powerful feelings that will emerge with this connection.

Astrology Observations 📎7

12H Edition 🐬✨ Random 1

+ Neptune in 12H (even along with other placements like Uranus, Moon, Venus) is falling asleep to music/show/movies playing in the background, cuz it's not easy to otherwise. 📺📻📽

- 12H placements realising hateful, envious behaviour (others’ psychological issues/projecting due to trauma, etc) and letting their guard down even further. “I forgive you even though you haven’t asked for it, because I understand where you’re coming from”. They can’t help it, it’s just what they are made of, Healing is their second nature. Also the reason why they stay longer in toxic/abusive situation/environments/relationships. 😭 Not everyone deserves y’all, you literal Angels. So please put yourselves first sometimes, and take care. 🥺

- Mars in 12H may show all that pent up/repressed anger while under the influence (even if its normal amounts of alcohol). 😮‍💨 They will have to learn healthier ways to express their anger, otherwise that can affect their actual physical health. This is also true in Composite charts, either one might get aggressive while drunk, could also turn into physical fights too quick.

+ Ik 12H has this bad reputation and all, but remember, it rules Mental & spiritual health. The best way to access 12H is using it has just that. Capricorn Risings may find long drives/rides; Aquarius Risings may love working in their own space & building their resources; Cancer Risings may like getting lost in books; Scorpio Risings when working on art and music; Gemini Risings while taking extra care of their body, soaking in a salt bath & doing their skin care routine, etc : as therapeutic. 🤍

- Any planet in 12H/Sagittarius/Pisces (especially with Neptune/Moon/Lunar Nodes) may need a lot (and I mean a lot) of self discipline when dealing with alcohol/smoking. (Its true for anyone but, uk what I mean.) 😥

- Saturn in 12H need to be very careful who they let into their inner circle, hell even just 10 ft near. Saturn brings harsh circumstances in whatever house he’s in, and 12H is deception. This can mean a lot of energy vampires, con-artists, stalkers, frenemies, even as romantic interests etc. A lot of people come into their life purely as lessons, in most cases to use them for all their kind nature. They may have to learn the importance of not being too naive, the hard way, self-pity won’t help them at all, they will have to stand up for themselves. 🥲

+- Wanna know how confident someone is? Look at their Rising. Wanna know how confident someone truly is? Look at their 12H. 🤫 (x Planets, Mars placement, but in general). Ex. Leo Risings are naturally confident, but deep down, their confidence fluctuates on a regular, Cancer 12H 🌝. Taurus Risings are pretty confident, and deep down, with that Aries 12H they are still very confident, cuz they don't really care what you think 😂 lol.

- Moon in 12H/Pisces/Sagittarius might indulge in alcohol when they are feeling emotionally vulnerable. Their mood may also dictate how much they indulge and to what extent. 😪

- Moon in 12H (especially with Neptune/Uranus aspects) can experience Sleep paralysis frequently. 😶‍🌫️

-+ Sun in 12H may feel misunderstood a lot. Sun wants to be seen, understood and appreciated which in 12H becomes bit of a problem. Mix this with the natural Pisces tendency to self-doubt/blame, they can be very hard on themselves. 🥺 They may have to learn how to gain confidence without others approval a lot of the time, because these ppl are so talented and compassionate and their low self esteem may bring in depressive mood swings. 🐰 Also surrounding themselves with trust worthy people will be a big help.

That’s it for now. I make split threads on each topic, so they are usually uploaded in parts, just so if you’re wondering. Please look forward to them. 🌸

Please don’t plagiarise my posts. 👀 We are all only learning from each other anyway, so you can always reblog instead right??? 🥰 Okay. Bye. 🦋✨
