Could someone explain these to me? I'm a total noob and the extent of my knowledge involves only knowing about sun/moon/rising signs. I've peaked in at some of the beginner articles, but I'm still pretty lost. Just curious as I've been trying to comprehend what they mean in my chart:

the major aspects are conjunct, square, opposite, sextile, and trine

trine and sextile are harmonious aspects

square and opposition are hard aspects

and conjunction can either be harmonious or hard

you have a grand trine with moon, jupiter/venus, and saturn/neptune....thats a major harmonious aspect, but you may feel that things have to be easy or that you take the easy road out or you may take the easy road

you have sun trine pluto which gives you a lot of power, very nice placement and you also have mars exalted in capricorn which is a very good placement for it

you have a lot of trines which worries me a little...hard aspects make you work for something, makes an honest person out of yourself and with too many trines could indicate a law breaker

you also have an 8th house stellium so that area of life is strongest for you

and last but not least, welcome to LL!!!

Hi everyone! Thank you for the replies! I finally "get it"- it's much simpler than I thought lol.

Another beginner question: what is a stellium and what does it mean in regard to the 8th house? I will go check out the Sweet Peas thread now...

a stellium is when you have at least 3 planets in the same sign and the same house, you have 4, and it influences your life the most as well...for you its the 8th house so it would be things like sex, death, transformations etc.

Hi Anna,

A stellium is when 3 or more planets were in the same sign and house at the time you were born. Given how big the sky is and how much room there is for the planets to spread around, I think its so cool when planets are near each other in a chart!

If you think that one planet in a sign has a certain effect, try having 3 or 4 in the same sign - and you really put some oomph in to the effects of that sign on your chart!

Like I said in your other topic, try reading:

he is brilliant and I think it will really help

Just a quick newbie question - although chiron isn't a planet, if it is placed with two planets in the same house is this of some significance, while not being a stellium? I have Mercury, Moon and Chiron in my 7th house (Aries).

Great question. I don't know much about the "great healer." But I think you would treat it the same way?

Thanks, Randall. I've been reading the boards and looking at my own chart to try to do some "hands-on" learning!
