I ran across several very interesting articles by Joyce Mason about the challenges that come with having Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, and Chiron prominent in one's chart, hence the anacronym PUNC. Below is the link to her introductory article: http://www.aplaceinspace.net/Pages/JMOuters1.html I am most definitely a PUNC-person as all of the outer planets play a critical role in my chart. Pluto is, of course, the biggy due to all of the Scorpio in my chart and having Pluto conjunct my Sun and Ascendant. Uranus also plays a very big role in chart, it's in the first house, in my Scorpio stellium, and makes major aspects to almost every planet in my chart. Neptune rules my past as I have a Pisces SN, but it is also the planet involved in the only trine in my chart (with Mars). Finally, there's Chiron, which is the only "planet" on the right side of my chart, opposes my Scorpio stellium, and helps to form a T-square with the stellium and Mars. So, my question to everyone is, how much of a PUNC are you? IP: Logged |

haven't read the piece yet! but i am a chronic PUNC...Sun conj Pluto in 7th, Uranus ruling my chart in the 5th trine moon(in 1st)semi-sq Sun and conjunct mars; Neptune sextile sun and conj SN; and Chiron at the MC at the peak of a t-square involving moon and merc/saturn. also Scorp MC...!yes, now reading it it jibes with what i have felt for years...having suffered lack of recognition due to being too far ahead of my time in all my public endeavours i finally got to the point where people look back and see (get) what i was trying to do way back when. very interesting syndrome! as a musician this took the form of being a pioneer female daring to play rock music. for little to no money or credit at the time!as an astrologer it takes the form of NEVER telling anyone where their chart is taking them, only what they have going for them and that they can do with it what makes sense to them..as a bodyworker, i can share with my clients my own pain-experience and healing-experiences in order to encourage them on their own healing journey...all of these are not only chironic but plutonic, neptunian and uranian assets that have taken me most of my life to appreciate! the quote about "get it or die. evolve or dissolve" fits perfectly with my own "mutate or die!" which came to me in a severe moment of paranoia about having to give my daughter contaminated, manipulated food and has stuck with me for more than 20 years in all areas of my life...

Chiron is a biggie for me. It aspects basically all of my planets and is conjunct my ASC.Pluto and Neptune don't really factor in much, Uranus is sort of important since it rules my Sun and is the depositor of my chart ruler. IP: Logged |

I am somewhat there, too, with Neptune and Pluto.Neptune is conjunct my Mars, NN and ASC, is in mutual reception and square with my chartruler Jupiter and sextiles my MC. Pluto sits on the MC and squares Venus and sextiles Mars, NN and ASC. I also have an Aquarius-Moon. Not much Chiron, though. IP: Logged |

I guess I'm a PUNC.1. I have Chiron in 1st house and it is the only point/planet aspecting my otherwise unaspected Venus. Chiron is conj my Jupiter and 8 degrees from my ASC; 2. Pluto is on the DC in the 7th and disposits my Uranus and NN/Vx (both in Sco and 8th); 3. Uranus is in the 7th/Sco and squares my Sun/Merc in 10th/Aqu and 4. Weakest link is Neptune but it is in my 8th and opposes my chart ruler and trines my ASC. quote: Of course, evolutionary conscious-ness can happen for anyone who is one outer planet prominent, but my observation is that the PUNCs--people with close aspects to them all--are even hanging off the edge out on a limb and have the strong accent on, and assignment to, catalyze change.
This is very much me in my younger days. IP: Logged |

23,"To do with trouble familial history esp war"§ I`m not sure I understand that. However, mine is 3°, so I guess it`s widish, but still valid. And Saturn is retograde and in Cancer in 8th house. Ouch. Not really an easy placement; Saturn also desposits my Venus. More joy for romance. I couldn`t say that things have been so horrible at home. Actually I think I´ve had a very happy childhood. An unusual one maybe (my aunt has been brought up with me as my sister, as her mum had died early, long before my birth; one of my brothers has the Down syndrome, and my mum had been taking care of a foster child for some weeks or months). But all in all there was much support and love in my family; yet I definitely feel that Chiron-Saturn-square. Interestingly the first guy who brought a feeling of heartbreak into my life, which had a huge influence on me, had his Sun conjunct my Chiron and square my Saturn. It was almost like he brought that configuration to life, just by being who he was.

Oh I don't think it means war history but some hardship of a parent or parent with strong parental responsibilities or some parent who has healing properties or maybe has been hurt in some way. This aspect to tends to occur generationally. Article from Zala: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/006804.html My parents both went through hardships through their youth and thus, the aspect is reflected in my chart. Coincidentally, my mother has it in her chart and her dad suffered a lot too. I don't think the aspect reflects lack of love (in the family) though. Clearly your mother's activities show this. She would assume a greater responsibility as a parent for your brother and may have had to play "healer" or "teacher" to him maybe physically as your Chiron would be in Aries. IP: Logged |

"ut some hardship of a parent or parent with strong parental responsibilities or some parent who has healing properties or maybe has been hurt in some way." Yes, that is definitely true. " may have had to play "healer" or "teacher" to him maybe physically as your Chiron would be in Aries. " This is absolutely right actually. CAuse when my brother was born, he wasn`t able to drink on his own, as the "sucking-reflex" was missing, and it was physically pretty exhausting to keep him alive for the first weeks after the birth. But they managed. IP: Logged |

Thank you, 23.It`s interesting what people can endure, if they have to. And there have been families who had it much worse than my parents and grandparents, I guess. However, I think those experiences may have led my parents to teach us compassion and tolerance and the use of our own brain more than they maybe would have otherwise. IP: Logged |

Semi-related to the previous replies about families: I think that having outer planets prominent is the result of astrological inheritance.My father had very prominent outer planets: Pluto on the DC, Uranus as his chart ruler and conjunct the IC, Neptune in the 8th and ruler of his 1st house Pisces stellium, and Chiron as the highest planet in the chart. The real kicker, however, is that they are all in some way aspected to each other: Pluto is square Chiron/gen. sextile Neptune, and Uranus is trine Neptune. He struggled with these placements his entire life and was truly hanging off the cliff that he finally plummeted from earlier this year. IP: Logged |

Oh, I love aplaceinspace.net. I haven't visited for several years, and thought about checking it out again a couple of days ago. I'm not sure about Neptune (trine Midheaven and Jupiter *edit ~ and inconjunct Saturn, along with minor aspects to my Sun and Moon/Venus, that I know of...), but Chiron, Uranus and Pluto all factor in there for me. Uranus conjunct ascendant opposed Ceres/Chiron/Sun inconjunct Moon, Venus and South Node trine Mars in Pisces Pluto (ruler of ascendant) square Saturn, opposed Jupiter trine Moon, Venus and South Node Chiron conjunct Mercury/Ceres/Sun IP: Logged |

I'm a PUNC. I haven't read the article yet, so I don't know what I'm admitting to. That makes me noyvis! 1. Pluto: chart ruler, cnj Sun/Moon mp, sextiles Moon and Sun 2. Neptune: cnj Sun, trine Moon. Just realized that it also semisquares my Asc. 3. Uranus: 1st house, cnj Mercury, square Moon 4. Chiron: only "planet" on the right side of my chart, 7th house, cnj Dsc, in a grand trine with Venus, Jupiter, and Mars. Parallel Moon. 5. The Moon is arguably our deepest self, and mine aspects all of the PUNC planets. Sextiles Pluto (1º), trines Neptune (2º), squares Uranus (0º), and parallels Chiron. Edit: I read the article. The gist - I'm extraordinary! Like I need astrology to tell me that. Some of it resonated with me (particularly the part about being extraordinary!), but I think the author ignored the importance of Saturn as a link between the PUNCS and the personal planets. I admire strong Saturnian energy, the practicality and the drive to materialize what's immaterial. Without that, I think it's difficult not only to connect your PUNC self to your personal self, but also to connect PUNC energy with the social world. IP: Logged |

In a way, everyone is a PUNC because every degree of these planets teaches a lesson to help our souls grow in the etheric/light body of our future self. However, there is no getting anywhere for realizing our potential in our chart without mastering the lessons of Saturn. Jeff Green said the opposite point of Pluto is very important. I say the opposite point of Saturn is equally relevant. Knowingly or unknowingly, people born on the day the Sun or Moon was exactly opposite to our Saturn will infleunce us a lot more for us to tune into the PUNC band.------------------ http://www.tamsoft.co.in/articles.html IP: Logged |

IQ - I noticed you said that it's the people whose Sun or Moon opposes our Saturn who help us grow. Usually, astro lit says it's the Saturn person who helps the personal planet person (PPP) grow. Do you say the opposite b/c if we're the Saturn person, an interaspect with someone else helps us feel our own Saturn more, and in feeling it, become more fully ourselves? Sort of like our Saturn grows from inside us, while the PPP experiences more of an external push from our Saturn to grow? IP: Logged |

<<Sort of like our Saturn grows from inside us, while the PPP experiences more of an external push from our Saturn to grow? >> Exactly! See, if our Saturn is like a binding chain, the opposite point is the key to freedom. Imagine instructing a "child" (PPP) to give you the key or even open the lock. The Saturnian lessons to others are hence internally for the benefit of the Saturn person to experience the freedom offered by the PUNC and beyond. BTW, this is a hypothesis from my life experiences, I am not asserting it like astrological dogma. I noticed that the greatest changes for my personal growth from Saturnine weaknesses have come from people born on Feb 2,3 or 4 and some from Aquarius Moons that opposed my Saturn in Leo. I sensed that when I helped them out, it was I who grew more, though they did learn something too.------------------ http://www.tamsoft.co.in/articles.html IP: Logged |

The reason that Saturn was left out of the line-up is because we are talking about trans-Saturn planets: the ones not visible to the naked eye. In other words, we are talking about the planets that are not "grounded" within the confines of the known/structured parts of the solar system represented by being within Saturn's orbit.I would urge everyone to read the article if they haven't already, because Joyce goes into the details of why having a heavy emphasis on trans-Saturnian makes a very important difference in the way one sees the world. And off topic: You'd hope that the Saturn person would have the power to change the personal planet person's life; of course freewill has a lot to do with whether or not that person actually wants the Saturn person's lessons...unfortunately enough!

I have the page open, and will get to it soon ~ I gave you the thumbs-up before, because I appreciated you sharing the link. From what I remember, A Place in Space featured articles about Chiron, before it became more of a mainstream topic on astrological boards (flower essences, too). I hope you weren't offended ~ jane's comment just made me laugh. I'm feeling anything but extraordinary. IP: Logged |

teaselbaby you're fine! I didn't get offended or anything else. My comment on the Saturn synastry aspects is my frustration coming out with my fiancee (whose Venus and Mars are conjunct my Saturn) and who, through her own freewill, is floating through life like a bump on a log.As for the explanation, well I just wanted to encourage people to read the article if they hadn't...of course you had so it's really no big deal. Thanks for the thumbs up too!
