1) Your moon is a singleton because it is the only planet in the "social" houses (Houses 5-8)

2) Your Mars is too because it is the only planet in the "universal" houses (Houses 9-12)

3) Your Uranus is too because it is the only planet in a cardinal sign

She is clear that you can have more than one singleton in a chart. Read this article for more info:

That's all I can give you right now - I'm new to the whole singleton issue, and it's a bit complex. This is a lot to take in late in the evening. I apparently just have an Uranus singleton in the 1st house which is part of a grand trine, so it must be significant. You know how those Uranian personalities can be. I must go read up on that now.

"It is a very critical issue whether or not the person received support early on in life from the family. It is a matter of how much support the person received or did not receive for the expression of his uniqueness. A child with an outer planet singleton may become the “identified patient” in the dynamics of the family psychology or the family “dysfunctionality.” Families love to have that person as the “least common denominator.” The rest of them can then think, “Well, we are just fine! It is only little George who is strange, who has problems!” Maybe little George has a Neptune singleton in his first house, on the Ascendant. He sees things no one else does. He knows family secrets he could not possibly know because no one in the family ever talks about that. He starts using drugs and alcohol even before Junior High in an attempt to suppress his strange perceptions."

Not only did my family treat me like this (and still do), I did start abusing drugs before junior high (I got so bad I was in rehab by my freshmen year in high school!!!). AND my Uranus is the 1st house. Wild!!! LOL

Also I do know family secrets that I shouldn't know because no one talks about them too, like that one of my cousin's a hermaphrodite, high functioning autism runs in the family but has been misdiagnosed as manic-depression and schizophrenia for generations and my maternal grandmother was a American-born German Jew who converted to Chrisitanity to avoid being ostracized. I know this, but NO ONE else in my family who knows will speak a word about it because I'm not suppose to know (my brother doesn't know any of this and he won't listen to anything I say cos I'm the family "headcase").

Thanks for bringing up the whole singleton thing, scorpbaby. It looks like something that could be very revealing!

I'm a little concerned about my mars singleton from the articles it sounds like "heavy stuff". And plus its in my 12th house! EEK

Im glad you were able to see how the uranus singleton effected your life so much Gemini. It seems like the aspect may have already played its part, which is a good thing. You seemed to have been through a lot.

She mentioned a book by another person about voids in charts - I'd liek to find that and check it out.
