"The SINGLETON is one of two types of inferior functions. Singletons show up as one-of-a-kind in one or more categories; by modality, element, orientation by sign and house, or as the only planet in one hemisphere. In whatever way a planet is a singleton, it is equally important. The more times it is a singleton, the more it is emphasized, and the more highly focused it tends to be in the psychology and in the life. The energy of the singleton planet, the quality of the sign and house in which it is posited and the house(s) it rules are all highlighted. A singleton is both the "runt of the litter" and the "pig of the litter." It can demand nearly all of a person's psychic energy, starving the dominant function.

People tend to handle their inferior functions through one or more of the following psychological defense mechanisms:

DENIAL - "I don't know what you are talking about!" Rage is the first symptom of denial.
REPRESSION/SUPPRESSION - "I know what it is, but I do not do it!" Such as, "I may feel angry, but I stuff it.
PROJECTION - "The other does it," or "S/He/They make me do it!" Blame is the name of the game --not taking personal responsibility; so is falling in love or in hate.
SUBLIMATION - "I'm not doing it, I'm writing a book about it," or "I'll help you deal with it in your life." Therapists make their livelihood doing this.
OVERCOMPENSATION - "That's all I do!" "I make a very good living doing it," or, "That's all I can ever think about!

If the northern hemisphere is emphasized, then it is important that the person experience internal realizations to mark changes and development in her life. Feelings and intuition color her perceptions and her focus of attention. She should give a greater priority to looking inward and experiencing intangible changes "in your gut" than to looking outward and achieving highly visible changes.

I want to be clear that the hemispheric emphasis refers to the sort of life that you need. It doesn't refer to you per se.

The Northern hemisphere is that part of the chart between the Ascendant and the 7th house cusp, and people with a preponderance of planets here are likely to be highly subjective, emotionally dominated and perhaps shy and lacking in confidence. Preferring security to adventure every time, the Southern hemisphere person can - in extremes - even become trapped within their own four walls, hermit-like. Moodiness is common, but on the positive side such people have a wealth of imagination and flair and are usually very sincere - what you see is what you get. Rarely concerned with their image, these characters shy away from public life. Even those who are well known, for whatever reason, will fiercely guard their privacy. Examples include Annie Lennox, Prince Charles, Walt Disney, Queen Elizabeth II, John Major, Barbara Streisand and Margot Fonteyn. "

********************
As far as I can see you really need to analyze your own life in a way that nobody else can. This seems to be much more about your life than your personality. What house is your moon in? It seems the power of the singleton will be particularly expressed in that area of your life..and the sign will flavour that even further. For exampe- I read that Bill Clinton has a moon in Taurus singleton in the 8th house. It's his only Earth planet and his only planet in a social house. This is what it says "In a man's chart, the Moon tends to be projected on women and sometimes on children. A singleton exaggerates this tendency. Men who have not accepted and integrated their lunar qualities will look for women who will actualize them. The women he has allegedly been involved with are quite Venusian, Aphrodite-like, voluptuous, beautiful in a slightly "trashy" way. Aphrodite never denies her sensuality, rather flaunts it. An eighth house moon seeks nurturance through sex, breaking sexual taboos, power/powerlessness and risk-taking. This twice-singleton Moon points to addictive tendencies: sex addict, workaholic, adrenaline junkie who creates crises for himself. The inner child (Taurus) gets nurturance and parenting through its opposite sign, Scorpio, his wife's Sun, Mercury, Venus sign. He seems to enjoy coming back, pulling himself up from or out of the crises he creates, a Scorpio/8th house quality. In the Lewinsky affair, he was at first in denial, at least publicly, and perhaps he even believed it was not sexual."

whiterabbit -

Yeah, that's from astrologyclub.org, right?
That's like the one article I have found on this. Thank you, though.

Your 1st House Moon

with the key phrase: Showing care and concern

The bond to your mother and family has a powerful influence on your development for good or ill, and some of the major developments in your life will arise in connection with the family. You instinctively know how important feelings are to your personal development. Some people may see you as overemotional or sentimental, but you know how to provide a truly nurturing environment for others to grow in. You have a powerful impact on your surroundings through your moods; indeed there may be a childish immaturity in this area. You may exhibit too much dependence on others, and are too attached to the past. Nevertheless other people will experience you as caring and giving."

AND

"Moon in Aquarius

with the key phrase: Caring humanity.

You were brought up in an unusual parental environment characterised by rather special family relationships. You probably learned at an early age that it did not pay to be too dependent, and neither does it suit you, as you prefer friendships based on equality and shared interests. As such it is likely that your family relationships were characterised by intellectual principles of equality or liberation, whilst you may have missed the emotional supportiveness most children take for granted, although you may well have had a very friendly relationship to your mother. As many of the deepest bonds in your life are to true friends or groups, some of your greatest difficulties are experienced when these attachments are broken."

AND

"MOON IN AQUARIUS

This position strengthens the capacity for taking charge of a situation, especially when others hesitate to do so. The native has very good self-control and can set a standard of behavior and possess a sense of responsibility that will appeal to others.

Creative energy, personal charm, and a degree of versatility are the key-notes of his personality. Yet sometimes elements of an emotional conflict can occur between the desire for power and self-indulgence, or alternatively between idealism and temporary selfishness."

AND

"Juno in Aquarius

requires the freedom to be an individual and have a life apart from the relationship. They may engage in non-committal, unreliable or erratic behavior."

AND

"Juno aspecting Moon

The relatedness principle combines with emotional responsiveness. Need to express oneself through partnership. Stress, depression over the lack of a partner, or a partner who manifests as overbearing or overshadowing."

AND

"Juno in Aquarius:

Your mate will tend to be freedom oriented, progressive, friendly rather than passionate, insecure in personal and romantic expressions and concerned with ideals and progress. Likewise you tend to react with spontaneity and impulsiveness within your committed relationships and are distressed at the thought of losing personal independence and freedom.

You need a friend, a comrade and someone who can at least understand your need for constant new ideas, mental challenges and altruistic goals. Equality is an important word to you and is an area that will capture your focus and your attention as you learn to adjust to working together towards shared causes. Your relationships will tend to be trend setters and unique in some obvious way setting them apart from the traditional forms of commitments."

AND

"Juno in 1st House

is excessively concerned with the propriety of appearances and actions. These persons consider the effect of their actions on social peer groups. Being able to organize a home makes them good hostesses and housekeepers. Mates are necessary to complete their pictures of themselves."

A friend of mine's Venus is a singleton in Virgo, also in the 5th. Would this indicate compatibility I wonder?

I should probably add here, Mars is the Focal Point of my T-Square as well. Aspects to Mars in Scorpio -

Moon Square Mars (you can never win)
Mercury Conjunct Mars
Mars Square Jupiter
Mars Sextile Uranus (my Singleton in Leo)
Mars Conjunct Neptune

eightdegrees -

If you aim to please, let me assure you, you are a terrific shot.

I had a, shall we say, "trippy" experience a couple of nights ago, which really put me in touch with my darker side, and made me aware of some serious power that lies more or less dormant within my Scorpionic depths... I'm now drawn to the notion of crisis situations - when people are forced to be who and what they REALLY are, - and what it means to laugh in the face of one's fear, and to desire rather to be a small fish in a big pond, than a seemingly big fish in a much smaller pond.

Anyway, what i intended to say, when I started talkng about that, is how, ever since this experience, I've been especially drawn to "witchy" people (i.e. GIRLS), by which I think I mean strong Lunar types. I feel like those were definite Lunar energies I tapped into; specifically Chironic energies (and I think I'm pretty much in agreement now with the theory that Chiron is, in fact, a higher vibration of the Moon).

With Mars as an Earth singleton in the 8th, I can only imagine what a passionate lover you must be.....

I, a man (i.e. Mars), have a lot going on in the 8th, as well. Besides the fact that Scorpio essentially rules the 8th (I'm a Scorpio), both my NNode and the ruler of my chart (Saturn), are in Virgo, in the 8th. Pluto (ruler of Scorpio and the 8th) is in Libra, conjunct the 9th house cusp.

What else,

Houses 5-8 are relational (having to do with specific relationships), while the first four houses are personal, and the latter four are universal. I'm guessing this is why so may geniuses through-out history are notorious for being ivirtual idiots wherever their personal and inter-personal lives were concerned; because much of their strength was already distributed among the more universal placements in their charts.

As for your friend's Venus singleton in Virgo in the 5th being a source of compatibility, I really don't know much about synastry, but it sounds like a pretty good bet to me.

Take care kiddo,
Steve
