Do singletons give off the same effect as unaspected planets?

For example, a person with an unaspected Mars, would overcompensate for the uneasiness of that position by behaving more aggressively. Would it be the same for those with a Mars singleton, or is it more of a subconscious quality then?

I have a Uranus singleton in Sagittarius - 5th house and I am certifiably nuts! It is my only fire (apart from my ascendant) and my only mutable, so it's a singleton twice over. Would that have double the effect, I wonder?!

Anyone else have any singletons?!

Soooooo many questions - sorry!!!

Uranus as Singleton
by Eleanor Buckwalter © 2001

Chaos, illumined by flashes of lightening.

. . .for I have known the lightning’s hour, . . . the certainty of power.

When we come to the outer planets as singletons, we find what Richard Idemon used to call the “true bizarros and weirdoes.” Also, among those with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto singletons we find highly creative people; many are geniuses in their fields along the line of their outer planet singleton. It is as though they have become direct pipelines from the gods to mankind. There is always something unique and special about these individuals and their expression. They are extraordinary.

In many instances, unfortunately, people are encouraged to repress the energies symbolized by the outer planets. Between family “tapes” and social “programming” only the strong, determined or totally “out to lunch” survive and flourish. First, the family may think the person is weird. Then he or she develops the idea, “There is something wrong with me!” Second, if the family accepts the person (maybe because they are all a bit odd, like the Munsters), when he goes to school, the peer group and teachers think his is peculiar.

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.

Our social “tapes” tell us: “Do not show Uranus, Neptune or Pluto! Do not be different! Conform! (i.e. stay within Saturn’s boundaries).” So, for those with one or more outer planet singletons in their charts, it may be a good idea to spend some time in psychotherapy in order to learn to accept and appreciate their individual uniqueness. There is always, especially in youth, the feeling, “I have difficulty fitting in!” It is difficult to accept oneself, or to come to terms with the feeling of being set apart as essentially different. Remember that little speech Linda Tripp gave in which she tried to justify “snitching” on her friend Monica? She said, “I am just like you!” Most of us instinctively felt, “Oh, no, you are not!” With her three outer planets as singletons, she is very different from Mrs. Joe Sixpack, average American.

There is a tendency to try to sweep the outer planet singletons under the rug and lock them in the closet. The energies represented by them can be very upsetting and unsettling. There is a strong urge to seek for the transpersonal, transcendental, magical and mystical. There is an ongoing search for all that is beyond the self, the personal and the individual. There is tremendous creative/destructive potential, too, with these energies. They represent the capacity for genius or madness. If these outer planet singletons are aspected by personal planets, especially Moon and Venus, relationships may be doomed by a propensity to project magical qualities on the loved one or on love itself. We go off looking for Prince Charming, the Fairy Princess, the all-knowing and all wise guru or the great hero.

We often find Uranus as a singleton in the charts of highly charismatic personalities. As we go through the examples of famous people, we see a kind of “brightness” or “radiance” about Uranians. There is a quality about them that makes others “sit up and take notice.” Along with charisma is a trickster quality. These people tend to do and say the unexpected; they are surprising and sometimes astonishing. Sometimes they even trick themselves. The Uranian energy pulls the rug out from under all the other planets in the chart. This is especially true when the singleton Uranus is aspected by a personal planet.

Many with this singleton have a great talent or genius within a specific area. Working with symbol systems is one of these areas. They can manipulate symbols quantitatively and at speeds far faster than Mercury. This allows rapid assembly of wholes out of parts. Albert Einstein did this with mathematical and physics symbols. There is a positive and negative side to this. Einstein changed physics, but he had difficulty with common everyday thinking. He said, “What normal people can do, I cannot do. But I can do what no normal person ever could.” It has been said he could get lost just taking a walk around the block from his home! Einstein’s Uranus is twice a singleton in the third house of mind and thinking. He also has both Sun and Jupiter as singletons, which no doubt added to his extraordinarily unique genius.

Another potential with Uranus is the iconoclast. Uranus is anti-Saturn (ruler of the sign behind Aquarius), and anti-Sun (ruler of Leo, Aquarius’ opposite). It likes to shatter egos and to tear down structures. It is anti-establishment. The Uranus singleton person seems to have a highly, or overly, developed nervous system. There is a tendency toward wild mood swings. The enjoy pulling the rug out from under other peoples’ sense of self-importance. They also may take pleasure in destroying anything resembling structure. A friend who has a Uranus singleton in the first house calls himself “St. John the Iconoclast.” And he does not know a thing about astrology! He works in construction, doing remodeling. When he rips out an old wall or some other structure, an expression of manic glee comes over his face.

These people tend to have ideas twenty (or more), years ahead of the times. They tend to be futuristic. One woman said she felt as though she had come back in a time machine and got stuck; everything in the world is so slow and primitive!

Uranus can see the whole picture, and does not understand others’ slowness. So, there is a quality of impatience and exasperation about them. This leads them to appear to be authoritarian or totalitarian. Because they see the whole and understand it, they are very impatient and not willing to go back to slow step-by-step explanations. “Do as I say because I know this is the right way!” The other asks, “But why is it?” “Just shut up and do it my way!” Along with this is a kind of tenseness and hyperactive quality. There is a tendency to communicate in odd ways; so others misunderstand them. They may go from point A to point D without bothering to explain points B and C. In childhood; they may be classified as “learning disabled.” When the Uranian urge is denied or repressed, it comes as jolting kinds of awareness, shocking revelations and shattering events.

The ladies with Uranus singletons seem to have earned their name and fame and place in history on the basis of that singleton. Their careers, their life-styles and choices bear the stamp of Uranus.

Linda Tripp, with Uranus twice a singleton (only Water, only Personal sign), in the 7th house of significant others, public relations, and legal matters, certainly has earned her place in history as the “girl-friend from hell.” The relationship with Monica during the months of taping telephone conversations would be considered a seventh house relationship, a very close confidante. The seventh house is also the house of “open enemies.” Linda may have thought she had enemies; she certainly was one. And Linda certainly did pull the rug out from under her friend Monica, and brought shocking revelations to the rest of the country! Who knows what stories her ex-husband might have to tell! Linda came to public attention in 1993 because she was the last person to have seen Vincent Foster alive before his mysterious death by “suicide.” That year her progressed Mercury in Aquarius (disposed of by the natal Uranus singleton), went on station retrograde and two years later her progressed Venus in Aquarius did the same! Progressed Venus was opposite the natal Pluto singleton (more on that in a later chapter). Those were the years when the jolts and shocks began.

The infamous Tokyo Rose, a.k.a. Iva Toguri D’Aquino, found herself stuck in Japan when war broke out in 1941. Considered an “enemy alien,” she was not allowed to leave. To support herself, she took a job broadcasting in English to the allied forces. Basically, she was a disc jockey; her introductions to musical numbers were Japanese propaganda. After the war she was tried and convicted for treason; in 1977 she received a presidential pardon. The Uranus singleton is the focal point of a Yod including Mars in Virgo in the 2nd house sextile Saturn in Cancer in the 12th. The Yod symbolizes a paradoxical situation, in this case a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” She had to earn a living (Mars in the second), in Japan; they would not allow her to leave. She was forced to broadcast propaganda which got her imprisoned (Saturn in Cancer in the 12th), when she returned home at war’s end. Uranus, in the house of “open enemies,” signifies the Japanese and symbolizes her unusual “collaboration” with them.

A bright and enterprising peasant girl, Jeanne Bécu, a.k.a. Mme. Du Barry, rose to a position of great power and influence in the years before the Déluge, the French Revolution. She became the mistress of King Louis XV of France in 1768 following the death of his other favorite, the equally famous Mme. De Pompadour. Jeanne was 33 years the King’s junior, but she managed to influence him in such a way as to secure herself a position of power in the French Royal Court even after his death. However, even her renowned social genius (Uranus in the 5th), could not save her from suffering the same fate as Queen Marie Antoinette. Both lost their heads under the guillotine.

Our own Zipporah Dobyns has immortalized herself in the annals of Astrology. Her Uranus (the Astrologer’s planet), singleton is the only planet in a Universal sign and house. It resides in its own 11th house of like-minded others. For many years she has taught and networked in the field of Astrology. She has a perfect background for an Astrologer. She holds a B.A. degree in Anthropology and a Ph.D. in Psychology. Her Virgo stellium can most likely be credited for the degrees.

Another man, who like Albert Einstein has both Sun and Uranus as singletons, is Paramahansa Yogananda. He was a lifelong celibate mystic from Calcutta, India. He was a world traveler from a young age in his spiritual quest. He taught, lectured and carried eastern philosophy to the West. He founded the Self-Realization Fellowship that still teaches his techniques of Kriya Yoga meditation. During his lifetime, he was known for his amazing charisma and friendliness toward everyone. Einstein, too, associated in a friendly egalitarian way with people. Neither man was a stranger anywhere! There are disciples still learning and practicing Yogananda’s teachings throughout the world today. His books and lessons are still popular. He passed away (mahasamadhi), in 1952 at age 59. Uranus rules his 7th house of public relations and is posited in the 3rd house of communication. The house of public reputation and posthumous fame, the 10th, contains his two other generational, transpersonal planets, the Neptune-Pluto conjunction in Gemini. He communicated (Gemini), and publicized the power (Pluto), of the spiritual life (Neptune).

The late Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Earl Warren, was three times elected governor of California. Although a Republican, he was a liberal and influential officer in a time when that was possible. The only shadow on his brilliant career were the findings, or non-findings, of the suspect Warren Commission that was intended to put to rest the J.F.K. assassination.

Another political personality, George Wallace, has a Uranus singleton in the 8th house of transformation through life-and-death crisis. He was a virulent segregationist in the 1960’s when he, too, was a three-time governor of Alabama. After a bullet wound from an assassination attempt paralyzed him, his attitudes gradually shifted toward a more compassionate outlook.

Finally, we have Alice Cooper, an American rock star famed for his flamboyant make-up and the weird stage effects in his entertainment productions. He is our archetypal “poster boy” for the Uranus singleton! Uranus is the only planet in a personal sign, Gemini, placed in the 9th house of philosophy and advertising. He advertised all things Uranian.

The only earth I have in my natal is Venus in Virgo, now would that count as a singleton, since it's the only earth I have going for me?

libraschoice,

Yes. It would..


I have 3 singletons, Moon (only planet in one hemisphere), Mars (only air), and Neptune (only earth)...

I don't have any *unaspected* planets but my Mercury is quite funky. It forms only one aspect, which is a wide conjunction to Venus...I question it because natally bein gin the 12th house I've heard it's supposed to "suppress" Mercurial qualities or make one not able to integrate the qualities well into their life without extreme effort...and well, I'd say that in reality, Mercury is written all over me...so...Yea.

I'm thinking there's something up with that cuz Mercury is pretty damned strong in my chart. I'd say equally as strong as my singletons...I can actually account for feeling it's aspect in my life..(I'm a writer, an aspiring motivational speaker, will study anything just because I'm in love with learning, known to be a human dictionary, a jabberjaw..., etc.)

I would recommend Eleanor's site on the singletons...excellent reading and should answer most of your questions..scroll down when she discusses singletons in general and has links for each planet..

I have a Neptune Acorpio Singleton with Scorpio rulling 11 and 12. I have found her articles to be very accurate. I also have an aversion toward any kinds of narcotics or substances and have had maybe one glass of wine and no drugs during my lifetime. I am certain I would be a skid road bum if left to my every floaty whim...

I have three singletons: my Uranus in Scorpio (my only water), my Sun (my only Earth), and my Moon (the only planet in a hemisphere). The site in the post above me is really interesting, as my Sun is largely unaspected and makes just one aspect, that of a square to Neptune.

I have Uranus in Saggitarius as my only mutable and only fire sign in my natal chart. It is my least aspected planet, the only planet that does aspect it is my. Jupiter in Aquarius.
I feel like I am very Uranian when it comes to love and unpredictable and not in a good way, when it comes to affairs. I just appear and disappear whenever I feel like it and I refuse to have permanent attachments/bonds and ties with someone that I have had an affair with. I guess I am compensating for my unaspected Uranus?

Uranus in Libra 5th house (only air).

I definitely feel the Uranian energy in my life. Kids love me. They think I'm crazy. My boyfriend also thinks I am looney sometimes. I find that my mind is very busy. I could be listening to somebody telling me something and all of sudden my mind is somewhere else. It's like I get bored too easily.
