The issues of these houses are certainly the least tangible and generally the least understood areas of the chart, especially the 8th house, ruling occult matters and the 12th, ruling the subliminal. It is of interesting note that the definitive words for “occult”, an 8th house subject, describes 12th house issues; words such as “shrouded”, “secretive”, “hidden” and “obscure”. See the houses.

Having prominent water signs or houses, however, is not enough to assume extraordinary psychic or intuitive talents exist. The natural planetary rulers of the water signs must be considered. If prominent and fortified, they are even greater indicators of psychic awareness and intuitive ability than highlighted water signs.

Neptune Dissolves Boundaries
Neptune, ruler of Pisces and the 12th house, is ultimately the planet connected with an ability to see beyond the usual barriers. Ruling the imagination, if prominent in the nativity, Neptune stimulates a tendency toward fantasy and daydreaming along with the ability to visualize clearly and in vivid detail. Neptune represents the dissolution of boundaries and if linked with personal planets such as the Moon, can show a special capacity to transcend normal limitations.

With the Lunar influence to Neptune, images receive the emotional fortification required to penetrate the shield separating the dense level of the material world from the ethereal and spiritual planes. There, anything can happen. From that spark of emotional intensity and the ability to envision a picture as if a reality, the picture is projected into the higher realms where it is blessed to shower down. Such an individual soon learns that what begins as fantasy can be brought into reality by believing and this aspect is a plus for artists and creatives. Many will experience this trait early in life but for others the talent may awaken at any time, as shown in the overall progressed chart. The aspect of Moon and Neptune gives the ability to easily put creative visualization techniques to work. It really doesn’t matter the type of aspect. Any aspect will create a link to the qualities of the Moon/Neptune essence.

Pluto Penetrates
The next planet that is instrumental in psychic awareness is Pluto, ruling Scorpio and the 8th house. Pluto is quite a power planet in such matters when strongly positioned. First of all, it shows a proclivity toward probing beneath the superficial. It gives an innate understanding of the power of thoughts, as though they are tangible things. With development, such an individual is able to charge a thought with such dynamic power of will that it transcends material limitations. The powerful forces of Pluto are best utilized in a way that brings benefits to others; it is much too profound a power to be used for selfish motivations. Well configured, the urge and tendency is to put such powerful abilities to work for the benefit of many and personal fulfillment follows.

Links to the Luminaries
The most exceptional psychic and intuitive talents are usually reflected by an angular position of Neptune and/or Pluto; that is, occupying the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house. In addition, at least one of them is usually closely linked either to a luminary or the Ascendant. The link to a luminary is most often the Moon, ruler of the senses and incoming stimuli, but may also be the Sun, ruler of the individual purpose and ego urges. The Ascendant has similar qualities to those of the Moon, influencing the color lens through which we receive stimuli. The specific type of aspect to one of these points by either Pluto or Neptune is of secondary importance. Squares, producing great energy, are actually more predominant than the easier aspects in the charts of noted psychics, prophets and those with highly developed intuition.

In addition to these factors, it will usually be found that Venus plays an important role in the chart configurations, often linked to a prominent Neptune or Pluto, to show the harmonizing element of love. A Pluto/Venus connection reflects exceptional healing qualities and potential.

Edgar Cayce's chart is a beautiful blend and very reflective of his super-ordinary abilities. The Moon with Neptune high on the Midheaven assumes prominence in the chart and is instrumental, by configuration, in reflecting Cayce’s profound ability to psychically enter a body to find the source of disease.

Situated in the 10th house, the planetary blend also shows what he would become known for, reflecting the status and reputation he would create. Strong support to the pair comes from Mars in the 6th house and from a stellium of planets in the Pisces 8th house. In a water sign and house, the latter grouping is dually watery.

The planet of healing, Neptune, with the Moon in Taurus shows exceptional sensitivity, which is very strongly linked with healing abilities, even to the point of rebuilding body tissues into a more enhanced state. Inspiration gave power for such highly idealistic conditions to take hold and manifest within the patient. Pluto is also elevated in the chart and greatly assists. Representing the ability to isolate and delve to the source of imperfections, Pluto lies in the material sign of Taurus and there’s nothing more material than the physical body.

Venus, ruling Taurus, becomes instrumental and through these combinations, the overall indicators in the chart are of an 8th house nature.

Of course, picking up the vibes can be hard because those feelings can be hard to shake off...I absorb them somehow.

My dreams are usually telling...always vivid...

And I am smiling....it is easy to pick up on a 'spark' with someone...you can actually feel it happening! I also pick up vibes across the miles...especially if that person is on my mind strongly....can feel their emotions.....both good and bad. (Like if they are having a tough day....a great day...).

Yes, it (intuition) is GREAT to me as well...it helps me daily and I truly believe this ability is one of the ways that I am able to be intimate at deeper levels with people. I couldn't imagine my life without that special sense....so valuable. And, it wasn't until the last few years or so that I realized not everyone has it...at least not as strongly.
Imagine that!!

People often will tell me things that they have never revealed...surprising themselves as they spill out secrets...there is a trust factor that is conveyed by me somehow as well...people tend to trust me VERY easily...but I am not sure it has to do with psychic abilities...

What do you do to shake off the heavier vibes? That one I have a difficult time getting rid of...taking on people's pain...any ideas?

I can do it too, maybe cuz my moon trines my neptune and sextiles my pluto. I heard mercury trine pluto can also give you those "detective type" skills-I've got that in my chart. And as I've said over and over again, me and sis both have eighth house moons, we can both pick up on BS

Haha, Pluto in Scorpio, trine Venus in Pisces, trine Jupiter in Cancer. With no trine back to Pluto, though. Haha.

I have Neptune in the 4th house, along with Uranus and Saturn.

Moon sextile my ascendant.

My chart ruler (Mercury) in the 8th house.

Heh, I have a fairly strong intuition, but I wouldn't call it being psychic. :-P

Being more sensitive and psychic doesn't mean that we are vengeful....the Scorp influences certainly have a bent that way at times though...regardless of psychic sensitivity!!

We just are able to 'sense' the flow of things...in a room, a train, LLand, stores, restaurants, parties, anywhere...lots of vibrations hitting you at once...all day long...not much you can do about it other than to just 'Be' with the feelings....I can definitely pick up on 'bad' people though....just can feel that one REAL EASY!!

I utilize it every minute of my waking hours...and feel it even at night in my dreams...I love it!

No fears my Dear...

Sag Neptune in 4th (I think that exalted??)
Pluto in the 2rd
Leo Moon in the 12th

Moon trine Neptune

I have alot of fun telling people who I'm gonna run into out in public. When I was little, I used to feel people's emotions so intensly...now I'm shut off for the most part.

Also, when I was little, I started having my "de ja vu" dreams... I would dream this event...and years later, the event would happen, but it would be the OPPOSITE of what I dreamed happened. Since I've met my SO, I'm having incredible dejavu w/him... except most of it is coming out CORRECT!!! Is that wild or what?!?

I've had the same experience predicting deaths and illness in those close to me. I also get omens, the morning my gran passed away I was awakened by crows at my window.. I received the call about 15 minutes later. I wouldn't consider myself psychic, more like very sensitive/intutive. I get vibes about people, w/o knowing them and am proved correct later when I do get to know them. The weirdest thing I do is think about someone I haven't seen/heard from in awhile, and then I'll somehow run into them or they will suddenly call. My little sister is very much the same way, she has her Aries sun in the 12th and her Cap moon in the 8th. Its odd, we live far apart yet many times we discover we both dreamt of our gran on the same nights.

Pisces Moon in 4th
Neptune conj Sun, Ascendent, Merc, Mars in 1st
Pluto in the 10th
