The only earth signs I have are my Cap sun and Cap Neptune, but since Neptune is shared by soooo many people in my generation, I'm not sure whether that will actually negate the Cap sun singleton influence?

Because the rest of my chart is all fire and water, no air. And while I feel extremely emotional, passionate, energetic, and feeling...I feel like it is hard for me to express, and others would never guess that I am boiling underneath. Others often say that I am very "down to EARTH". I feel like this earth sign has a big influence over the fire and water.

And again, can I assume that it's because it's basically the only earth element, or is it not a singleton but just exerting such an influence because it's in such a powerful position?

A singleton is a planet that is literally the *only* planet. Not just because we feel it doesn't "count".

I have 3 singletons in my chart: Neptune, Mars, and the Moon.

of the three, I feel I resonate with them equally as strongly.

Neptune is my only cardinal planet and my only earth, making it twice as strong. It sits in my 1st house, and sextiles my Sun and squares my MC exactly, amplifying it's influence 5 times. On top of this, my chart ruler is Jupiter in Pisces. Needless to say, my feet hardly ever touch the ground. Actually, I don't think I've ever actually *seen* the ground. It's extremely hard for me to stay on track and focus with something...anything for that matter. Granted I have the Sun conjunct Pluto and Saturn conjunct the Ascendant, so I CAN focus. But usually that intense, tunnel vision is channeled towards something completely illogical and impossible. (Pisces intercepted in the 3rd with Mercury in the 12th only makes this 100 times worse)

Mars in Aquarius is my only air planet. I can talk a mile a minute, and I do talk extremely fast. And I jut from topic to topic, and tend to shock the living daylights out of all my fellow listeners. Uranus rules my 3rd house (and conjuncts my Ascendant). I also identify with the rebel without a cause idea. It's a nasty habit to admit, but often I get the urge to be on the opposing team, solely for the point of being different. I strive very, very hard to be different and I would fight to the death for my rights as an individual and freedom to my own personal space. I'm always willing to support some cause or another. My intelligence is the most important thing in the world to me. It's also my greatest weapon.

I think out of all the singletons, Mars is my most prominent. Probably because it's ruler is conjunct my Ascendant. I'm very aggressive, always, ALWAYS competing and fighting as if it were life or death, and I need constant action and mental stimulation. I'm well known amongst everyone I meet for my "strength" and being a "person not to mess with"..even though, I think I'm a softie.

Lastly, my Moon is the only planet in a specific hemisphere. It sits lonely in the western hemisphere of my chart, lunarizing my 8th house. Which makes sense, because I am a person entirely dominated by my emotions. My emotions drive my world and I invest so much emotion into other people (whether nurturing, helping, healing, loving, hating, etc.) that I become drained much more easily than other people I know.

I have problems with this because my two singletons Mars and the Moon are in exact opposition. Usually Mars wins. But sometimes theres a horrible tug of war that could make Pluto himself blush from the amount of rage and outburst (Pluto is part of a T-Square with Mars/Moon). I've got one hell of a temper with all that unbalanced energy flying around all over the place.

Singletons - not always the most fun things to have, but definitely make life interesting

i have never paid much attention to my scorpio uranus for some reason. i am only now just learning about singltondom.

so are you saying that hemipheres can have singletons too, and elements? that would make my moon a singleton (unless chiron counts) in my lower right hemisphere, and would make my pluto count too, as my only cardinal planet.

well my moon is opposite my uranus exact, so a similar dynamic to you. it's hard for me to tell if my uranus is particularily strong though since i am highly uranian in nature (sun, merc, mars conjunct in aquarius). i certainly do feel very deeply and i hide my deepest emotions from most people and am also fiercely loyal, etc, so i guess i am rather scorpionic.. but i'm not sure yet how to interpret this one!!

and plus, with uranus, you only really hear about the fact that it is generational, so i'm not sure how to interpret it as a singleton for an individual..

If your planet is your only cardinal, then it counts.

Hemispheres count in the aspect of a specific entire half of the chart. Not so much a "lower right hemisphere, but the entire right hemisphere...

You have:

Lower or Inner hemisphere: Houses 1,2,3,4,5,6
Upper or Outer hemisphere: Houses 7,8,9,10,11,12
Right or Western Hemisphere: Houses 4,5,6,7,8,9
Left or Eastern hemisphere: Houses 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3

My Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all fall within my Eastern Hemisphere.

My Moon is the only planet on the right side of the chart, sitting in the 8th house.

Chiron doesn't count.

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are generational when it comes to signs, but the planet's energies act out differently for everyone.

The Moon opposite Uranus generally could indicate a inborn restlessness and a huge amount of need for freedom. There can be some feelings of estrangement or abandonment from the mother, which could lead to commitment issues later in life, or the mother could have been highly unusual and more like a friend to you than a mother. Or she could have been unavailable due to some highly unusual circumstances. Generally, this aspect just denotes at a need for a lot of space and a general discomfort with getting close to people in relationships.

If you have planets in the sign Aquarius, these tendencies are obviously more pronounced.

Any inner/social planet that aspects an outer planet will behave in a way that is unique to you. Generational planet or not.

Hope this helps!

Other than that I'd say it's influence is fairly strong in me, but I think it plays out mostly behind the scenes. With water being emotions, it seems like it plays out in extremes. I can turn my emotions off if need be, but at other times my emotions have their way with me in a manner that I can't control.

These are the main categories where a singleton can occur, as per: http://www.astrologyclub.org/articles/singletons/intro/singleton_intro.htm
(They also have interpretations for singleton planets)

quote:

---

"As we can see, singletons show up in the Legend as one-of-a-kind in one or more categories: by modality, by element, by sign or by house orientation, or as the only planet in one hemisphere."

---

Polarity: (Positive/Negative or Yang/Yin)

If it is your only planet in a feminine or masculine sign - it's a singleton.

Modality: (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable)

If it is your only planet in Cardinal/Fixed or Mutable – it's a singleton.

Element: (Fire, Air, Water, Earth)

That speaks for itself – if it's the only planet in an element ..

Orientation by Sign: Personal, Social and Universal

Personal signs: Aries/Taurus/Gemini/Cancer
Social signs: Leo/Virgo/Libra/Scorpio
Universal signs: Sagittarius/Capricorn/Aquarius/Pisces

If it is the only planet you have in one of these groups.. it’s a singleton.

Orientation by House: Personal, Social and Universal

Personal houses: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Social houses: 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Universal houses: 9, 10, 11 and 12.

If it's the only planet in one of these groups, it's again - a singleton.

Hemispeheres - as Alanabelle put it:

Lower or Inner hemisphere: Houses 1,2,3,4,5,6
Upper or Outer hemisphere: Houses 7,8,9,10,11,12
Right or Western Hemisphere: Houses 4,5,6,7,8,9
Left or Eastern hemisphere: Houses 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3

If it's the only planet in one of those categories, it's a singleton.

These last three might be categories, I'm not 100% sure, as this isn't stated explicitly on the site, as far as I've seen.. but I'm pretty sure I've read it somewhere else.. Has anyone else seen this? I could be wrong.

House Polarity

Feminine houses: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.
Masculine houses: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.

House Modality

Cardinal (angular) houses: 1, 4, 7 and 10.
Fixed (succedent) houses: 2, 5, 8 and 11.
Mutable (cadent) houses: 3, 6, 9, 12.

Element Houses

I have a singleton Pluto (Scorpio/5th). It's my only fixed planet and the only planet I have in a social sign. It's also conjunct my SN (opposite Venus which actually rules the 5th - Libra cusp).

I am Scorpionic (all or nothing) in some areas of my life, but I'm trying to be more laid back - like Taurus. Having the Venus/Pluto opposition (and since Pluto is on my SN) - I know I've attracted Plutonian types.. I'm trying to stay out of it these days lol I really like Taurus and Venus energy so I'd like to think I'm more Venusian(NN) rather than Plutonian.

I agree with Alanabelle.. but there is something else mentioned at http://www.astrologyclub.org/ about singleton conjunctions.

quote:

---

"The conjunction is perhaps the most difficult aspect to interpret. The two planets involved are harnessed together. One does not function without the other. The energies of the planets may be complementary, like Sun and Jupiter or Mercury and Uranus, or very disparate, like Moon and Uranus or Sun and Neptune."

---

quote:

---

"When a conjunction is found as a singleton, such as the only planets in Earth or Universal signs, or social houses it may tend to dominate the life, or to be repressed, projected, or subject to any number of psychological defense mechanisms, just as a solitary singleton planet is. It is quite rare to find the inner planet conjunctions as singletons. More often we find outer planet conjunctions or an inner/outer planetary conjunction."

---

quote:

---

"An example of an inner/outer, Yang/Yin singleton conjunction is found in Jon's chart. The Mars/Neptune in Virgo in the 6th is the only mutable energy. Mars rules the Ascendant and Neptune rules the 12th house. There is a hint here of identify confusion as well as an unconscious drive to escape from the past or into it. Only through the area of work and service can he find a sense of himself."

I guess where I get confused is that I identify the *least* with the whole Capricorn thing. Yet it seems to exert quite a strong influence over everything else.

That singleton conjunction info is very interesting, because when I think of how my Sun qualities would work with my Neptune qualities, it does explain quite a few things
