#can you tell I'm obsessed with astrology and the word etcetera

"I have no [insert sign] in my chart at all. I SAID I DON'T HAVE ANY-"

Don't steal 🔪.

Ma'am, that is simply not possible. If you took the time to research and truly understand astrology, you'd get it, you'd totally get why that is. Because in order for what you're saying to happen:

We'd have to remove said sign from the birth chart. Like a pizza. Except that's not possible because a birth chart is NOT a pizza.

A chart, even if the houses are not evenly divided, will always have the 12 signs:

Not this (for example: Scorpio is missing). This is simply not possible:

No matter, whether you like it or not, you have every sign in you. Some are just more in the spotlight, but they're there. They'll always be there!

HOUSES:

If A) a planet is in the first house, or B) it's in a house it's comfortable in (like the sign of that planet is in that sign's ruling house):

Exhibit A:

If you have Mercury in the 1st house: you'll have Gemini/Virgo energy/vibes, etc etc, even if you have no planets in those two.

Exhibit B:

You have Gemini Venus and it's in the 7th house (Libra is the ruler of this house and Libra is a co-ruler of Venus) so you'll have more Libra Venus traits compared to other Gemini Venus people, even if you have no planets in Libra in your chart.

RULERSHIPS (PLANETS & HOUSES):

Always remember that planets and houses have signs ruling over them.

Example:

Even if you have a Scorpio Venus, have no planets in Taurus or Libra at all, these two signs still have a hold on your Scorpio Venus as they literally rule that planet, it's not like they're leaving, passing the crown to Scorpio, they're still there, ruling, just think of Scorpio as their business partner from another kingdom, asking to create a project with Libra and Taurus.

So Taurus and Libra are there, in the background, watching over Scorpio execute and take the lead of the project while they're the financial backer, etc.

Another example:

This time with houses- Your 8th house is in Leo and ends in Virgo. Virgo and Leo are part of your 8th house. Imagine them as very important guests from other kingdoms coming to the kingdom of the 8th house, where the ruler is Scorpio, for a very important meeting. The guest from the Leo place is a prince while the guest from Virgo is a duke (since the 8th house is in Leo and not Virgo, so Leo has a higher rank and more power over it).

Or, if you don't like the comparison I made, think of modern companies. Think of music labels. Think of Leo and Virgo as Capitol Music Group and their partner/main distributor being Universal Music Group (Scorpio) lol.

Now what about intercepted houses?

Yes, it's still like that. For example: Your 3rd house starts in Leo and ends in Libra and not Virgo. Even if no house is in Virgo, Virgo is still part of the 3rd house; she's still there, even if it's muted compared to other signs. And with the kingdom+guests comparison: Still the same, except this time, there's 3 guests, not 2.

ASPECTS:

Aspects. Aspects. Depending on aspects, you will most certainly have an energy of a sign if their ruling planet is prominently aspected, even if you have no planets in this sign.

Example:

If neptune is in aspect to your ascendant or chart ruler or both, you'll radiate some Pisces energy/appearance even if you have no planets in Pisces.

DEGREES:

Degrees do have an effect/influence on the chart, seriously.

Example:

Someone (me) with a Scorpio Moon in a Leo degree will be more emotionally dramatic and less emotionally guarded compared to someone (friend) with a Scorpio Moon in a Taurus degree.

ASTEROIDS:

So many asteroids in the solar system alone, that they'll literally be in every sign, every house, every corner of your chart if you plug them all in: BUT, you have to check if the asteroid is prominent in your chart, if it's prominently aspected, etc etc.

DEEPEST DEEP DIVES YOU'LL EVER DIVE AND MORE:

Astrology is never-ending, it's infinite in many ways if you keep digging and digging. A literal goldmine for people who don't want to run out of things to analyze and study. I don't recommend this part to beginners especially if they haven't got the grasp of their birth chart by at least 80% - but if it does not resonate, go ahead, go crazy:

There are many, and I say MANY, types of astrology methods/charts you can drown yourself in. A bunch of rabbit holes:

Persona charts, planet returns, harmonic charts, transits, midpoints, etc. You can even try to make various relationship charts with your natal and these (ex. Make a composite chart of your natal and moon persona chart as an experiment).

And no, I haven't fully mastered any of these as well. I understand them, but when it comes to interpretations? Byeee.

Also, the fact that there are many astrology tools/methods that exist but is inaccessible to the majority of people (including me)- okay, I'll stop. (If you're curious though, I'm always here.)

First astrology note (is this even a note? more like a rant reminder?), be nice to me or else 👹🔪🔪.

So yeah, hope you guys enjoyed this post. Remember that all signs are part of our birth chart as they all govern over different natural parts of life. Scorpio- death, Taurus- food, etc!

So embrace every single one of them! (Not saying you can't make fun of certain signs anymore, you can still do that as long as it's not serious.) Have fun! Until next time!
