Like,
Did you know that when any planet
is on the 0 degree of a sign, there
is a feeling of loss connected to the
life experience signified by that planet?

Anyway, singletons, yeah...
Check it:

"A fellow astrologer was once asked to do the charts of a number of people living in a “New Age” spiritual community. He noticed that nearly all of them had Neptune as a singleton, on an angle or at a critical degree. The same emphasis is often seen in charts of actors, musicians and habitual drug abusers."

My Neptune singleton is in the 11th.
When I was younger, I often contemplated
joining a spiritual or otherwise sub-cultural community.

It forms a semi-square aspect to the 1st house Aqua Moon,
which would also imply a willingness
to find security in a collective.

mars446,

Cool.

Dulce Luna,

I think it would be simpler.
I would just interpret it as usual,
whereas, with non-singleton planets,
the further difficulty arises of having
to integrate the various planetary energies
in the house and/or sign with one another.

Hi Devilfish!,

"i just spent the last few days searchin the web on singletons."

awesome.

"my moon in first is A singleton twice and its at 0 degrees"

No way!!!
My Moon is a singleton in the first,
by house, sign, and HEMISPHERE!!!!
It is the only planet (besides Chiron)
in the 1st six houses of my chart.
It is at 0 degrees Aquarius,
just ten degrees from the Ascendant.

"my neptune in the 12th is a singleton twice
and is conjunct my asc."

That's intense.
How close is the conjunction?
Many poets have that aspect.
I really envy and admire Neptunian people.
I found these articles on singletons,
because I wanted to know if my Neptune
is not as weak as it appears.
I've heard people say that semi-squares,
and especially close semi-squares,
can be just as strong as squares.
With the Moon in aspect to Neptune,
and the other closest aspects being my
Ascendant ruler (Saturn), and Sun Sign ruler (Pluto),
maybe its not as negligible as I believed.
It also semi-sextiles my Venus, Uranus, and Midheaven,
widely trines Jupiter,
and forms a Yod with Pluto to the IC.

You edited something?
Oh, now I feel deprived.
Will I ever know what I missed?

take care,
steve

Curious correspondences...

My Neptune is at 16'49 Sag
(just minutes from your Asc).
I posted my chart on p. 20 of that
"once again: Post a pic" thread.

Your Neptune is the only "planet" in fire,
but, with that Ascendant,
its not technically a fire singleton.

Incidentally,
Sag is one of the few Ascendants I consider,
when I'm trying to imagine my ideal chart.

lol, you do sound complicated.
but thats a good thing, imo.
I'll be sure not to think of you,
when I read those Mars op Neptune interps.

glad you liked the link,
semi-squares are 45' angles,
mostly, they are interpreted as weaker squares.
i think yods are just kites,
without planets/points opposite the focal point.
Now that I take a second to think about it,
I guess my "Yod" is a Kite after all.

pluto at 17 libra
mc/uranus at 16 Scorpio
neptune at 16 Sagittarius
IC at 16 Taurus

But who knows...
The birth-time might not be exact,
and thats pretty crucial in this case.

You're very welcome, about the "swan" comment.
I really want to thank you for sharing that.
I hope you always feel free to compliment me,
especially on my compliments.
Because it does feel nice.

Lounge Act, yeah.
It's probably my favorite Nirvana song.

I've got Saturn as a singleton. It's the only planet I have in Earth...in Virgo.

Saturn does conjunct my North Node in the 5th house. So it spells something very important or of great focus for my time here on Earth. It also opposes my Moon and squares Neptune.

You're welcome!

I also have Saturn as a singleton,
not counting my NNode,
both in Virgo (8th house).
Saturn's also my Ascendant ruler.

So, if your sabian symbols are at 13 and 18,
your Saturn and NNode must be at 12 and 17?

Mine are at 11 and 25.

So, is your Moon in Pisces?
I wish I had a Pisces Moon.

Your Ascendant is Taurus?
What's your Sun Sign?

take care,
hsc

that's kewl you have a Saturn singleton too! How does the singleton in the 8th house manifest for you??

Yup my Saturn is at 12 and North node at 17, and I have a Pisces Moon. My Ascendant is Gemini, but I think possibly on the Gemini/Taurus cusp because an astrologer insisted that's what I looked like??

Im a little Sabian happy ...so here are the Sabian symbols for your singleton:

For Saturn in Virgo 12: A bride rises laughing, youthfully radiant in her white, wishing to scold the groom who has snatched away her veil.

North Node in Virgo 26: A highly ritualistic service is in process; officiating priests are automatons, a boy with a censer is rapt-eyed.

Sorry I'm so long in replying.

God, I love Pisces Mooners.

If your Asc is at 0 Gem, or 1 Gem,
it would be perfectly trine my Moon.
Yay!!

It's difficult to say how Saturn has been manifesting in the 8th. Definitely, there is a kind of morbid perfectionism at work, if you know what I mean. But it helps with writing. My mars/merc conjunction, and aries on the third, rush through, and give me more ideas than I have time to type or skill to make room for, but the Virgoan Saturn (loosely square Merc, which is on a critical degree in Sag) helps me to go back over things, to refine and fine tune them. It can be a bit obsessive at times, as I am frequently editing posts a dozen or so times, just after posting them. There are so many motives at work in me, when I post here. I know vanity is present, but there is a good deal more of honest pride, faith in my ideas, and desire to see them expressed as well as I am able to express them. Saturn in the 8th has also placed much stress and delay in the area of emotional and sexual intimacy. But it has always been deeply meaningful, steadying, and cathartic. And, then, there is certainly a good deal of self-destructiveness, with a chart-ruling saturn in virgo, in the 8th. Saturn is the planet of reality, virgo is the most realistic sign, and the 8th house is a place of seeing deeply into the shadow side of reality. Which is to say that I've probably dealt with my share of melancholy, and unforgiving self-analysis. But its good. I am really at a point now of letting people and realities be themselves, without having to expect something more or less of them. I do less criticizing, and far more encouraging. I think I proper balance would be a thousand gushing compliments and encouraging remarks, to every single word of censure or correction. Besides, it is often easy enough to discourage a thing, by encouraging its opposite.

The Sabian Symbols are cool, but I dont know what to make of them. I'm only just beginning to make use of my intuitive mind in those ways. I'm somewhat interested in Tarot, and, just, the concept of pictoral languages, and the potency of words, ideas, and images in general. I'm kind of on a "less is more" kick. I smoke Haiku for breakfast. But, then, other times, I'm totally into elaborate and intricate exegisis, run on sentences, and mixed, mixed metaphors; stuff like that. I"m punctuation happy too, sometimes.

I'm totally Scorpio,
but the Aqua Moon is in my 1st,
and Uranus is conjunct my Sun, Venus, and MC.

Pleased to meet you, Aquarian Fish

Be Magnificent,

But there are other ways for a planet/point to be a singleton.

It can be a singleton by house, sign,
mode, element, hemisphere...

If it is the only fixed planet,
for instance, or the only planet
in a mutable house, or something,
if would be a singleton.

Some planets are a singleton two, three, four, or even five times over.
