Jessica (who probably hasn't seen this yet, haha) and imeanj--gets your charts to me and I will start your readings ASAP!!

I'll work on charts in the order I receive them, which is also reflected in the list above (sorry Jessica that this is sort of unfair since I just included you on my own volition).

Thanks all!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone!

Things have finally calmed down, and I have time to devote to reading natal charts again!

In my old thread I mentioned that I wanted to get more practice and to become better acquainted with aspects and planets and houses and placements, and the same is still true....so: that being said, I would really, really appreciate feedback on the readings (the good, the bad, and the ugly), because it's my way of becoming familiar with what techniques work and which don't, and also how to better interpret charts.

I really try my best to make readings as in-depth and coherent as possible without going overboard (my nitpicky Sag Saturn likes to prove its point), and they do take some time....so when you post your chart please:

1. Tell me what area of your chart or what area of your life you'd like me to focus on. A broad subject is great, but if there is something in particular you want some insight to, you can always post a more specific request (note: I can't tell you who/when/where you'll meet, the birthdate of your first child, or anything else terribly specific!)
2. Be patient with me It might be two to three days before I post the reading.

@Jessica2407 (I think I got the numbers right?), you posted a few times in the other thread I started to please reserve a spot for you, so you're included in my list by default Just post your chart and your area(s) of interest please!

Since you were so specific about what to look for in your chart, I’ll address each “explicit” point first and then get to the house reading for you (exactly what I did for the others in my previous thread).

Kids
I think you asked about kids because you saw in one of my previous readings that I did this for someone. Just to iterate: this doesn’t always work. As far as my way of thought goes, I see predicting children and marriage ages in the natal chart as more of “old wives tales” type readings, though I do admit I place weight in reading the chart for children as something indicative of the potential one holds for having them.

You have Pisces ruling 5H and one applying aspect to Neptune…that would indicate one child. Neptune is in Cap, and Cap is traditionally a female sign, so according to this technique she’d be a girl with Cap, Aqua, and perhaps some Piscean qualities. You also have Saturn in Sag and the house Sag rules extends just a weeeee bit into Cap, so there may also be some Sag qualities. Normally planets in 5H are looked to for characteristics of the first child, but you don’t have any planets in 5H, although NN is there. Having NN in 5H places your SN in 11H, traditionally ruled by Aquarius, meaning you’ve already spent some time finding satisfaction in social organizations or extensive networks of friends…and yet were detached and needed space to contemplate the inner societal workings of things, because part of Aquarius is luxuriating in your own inventiveness and revolutionary thoughts pertaining to social schemata. As a result, intense on-on-one relationships are probably difficult for you, or you find difficulty within them. In reference to children only, what’s interesting is that having NN in 5H might indicate that your relationship with your child(ren) might be the element that pulls you our of your SN 11H stupor, and into the here and now—having children and developing that very close-knit, personal, and dependent relationship necessary between parent and child might be your path toward self-awareness and a way to fulfill this dearth of experience with 5H things (fun, creativity, growth through freedom/spontaneity).

7H Last but not least, your 7H. So 7H is actually empty, and Taurus rules it, so we can look to where Venus is to see a little more about the attraction factor of this house. Often I find that people are most attracted to what their 7H emits, but everyone is different…and your 5H and 8H seem like they’d be super compelling for you, so I’m not sure if your 7H will win out over those two, haha. In any case, Venus in is Virgo 11H as a part of a stellium with Sun and Mars. If you’ve ever read RAS’s thread about “The most loving relationships of our lives” you’ll see that the Venus-Sun-Mars (+Mercury) aspect is something that is frequently found in composites of people who feel very connected to whom they share the composite with. Having this stellium speak for your 7H is important, since 7H rules legal partnerships (what we think of as “marriage”), but also since 7H is your DSC…or opposite of ASC and the qualities that will “balance” our inherent qualities to bring us toward a more integrated whole (another sense of “marital” partners...those who best fit us/help us grow). Men with Virgo placements (esp. Virgo Moon or Mercury) are probably highly attractive to you, because they touch your Sun (ego) and your love planets (Venus/Mars). Your stellium is (again) in a traditional Aqua house, so this might make men whose personal planets touch this stellium really “natural” feeling for you given the planets in your stellium and Aqua Juno.

I haven't seen your thread yet!!

Nice surprise!

Calliope, I'll email you my chart and the aspects, if that's okay with you??

HUGS!!!

Originally posted by calliope23:
Okay, so now: with NN squaring Chiron (our wound/way to heal), I think that Chiron is going to get in the way of or distract the purpose your NN brings to you. NN in 5H is all about figuring out pleasure—that which makes us personally happy and emotionally fulfilled—and it’s also in Aries, meaning learning to be independent, trusting your own instincts, and achieving self-volition is key…but the square to Chiron might strongly divert your idea of what “pleasure” is and also make you fall back on resorting to the comfort of others/community/relationships. Chiron is in 8H, and linking 8H (house of “sex”) with a square to your 5H Aries NN might imply that you feel the way to achieve personal pleasure is through sensuality and deep spiritual connections with another person—the problem, here, should be obvious. For one, NN Aries is all about finding independence, but Chiron simultaneously attracts energy toward wanting a partnership (I also noticed your transiting NN is in your 1H, Aries’ ruler…I’d guess something has been going on in the past nine months or so [NN takes about 18 months to move through a sign] that’s been a karmic test of both you character and your ability to develop your NN’s call for independence). Secondly (and more importantly), NN in 5H has to do with “lighthearted” affairs, children, and creative endeavors, and Chiron in 8H is all about deeply penetrating spirituality/emotions and profoundly transformative relationships. Though the two might seem to go hand-in-hand (after all, who doesn’t want an happy-go-lucky partner with a raw sensual side that we can find ourselves in?!), I view them as complete opposites. While your NN is saying “Hey! Focus on the fun in life and someone or something to enjoy not taking yourself so seriously with,” the Chiron square is infusing (and confusing) that romantic fling 5H energy with “Find a mysterious, resonant, and transforming relationship to fulfill you NN needs.” Do you see the issue here? What it comes down to, for me, is that you can’t satiate your NN’s call to identify independent pleasure by relying on sex/partnerships, even though this probably often feels the natural thing to do given the square to Chiron. NN is a big deal because it’s your purpose in this lifetime and what we should focus on in order to become whole or feel truly happy, and the square to Chiron can act to debilitate or sidetrack your path toward that…and coming back to the idea of an “affair,” I should think that maybe this placement would compel you to believe an affair with someone (if you come across the chance for one), secret flirtations, or covert/improper friendships even, would be the solution to your most inherent needs…but they won’t be. All of these would just provide another “band-aid” and never really fix your happiness in any concrete or stable entity.

[b]12H
I think you’re also asking about 12H also in reference to affairs, so this is going to be a mix of some more Chiron stuff that goes into 12H matters. As far as Chiron goes, it also opposes Uranus and Neptune, squares Venus and Mercury, and trines Pluto. First of all, in terms of clandestine relationships, this seems highly indicative of tendencies or characteristics that would lead one to take part in them. You’ve also got Libra on 12H with Eros in there, which immediately draws my attention to “secrets” and the “hidden” (12H), “legal contracts” and “marriage” (Libra), and the “erotic” and “irresistible” (Eros). If that doesn’t scream “affair,” I don’t know what does, haha. Either that, or an elopement/secret marriage? Again, thinking of Chiron as indicating an area of life in which we overcompensate to fill an extreme void, the 8H placement would mean using sex or sensuality (in a general sense) is a way of yours to do so, and sex/sensuality for emotional redemption, of course, is a huge part of an affair. Since there are so many hard aspects to Chiron, I would say that there is a lot of impulsiveness and very little thinking happening here: opposing Uranus brings to mind indiscriminate rebellion and erratic or unusual relationships; opposing Neptune brings to mind healing through sexual fantasy or indulgence; square Venus, love tinged with pain, feeling unloved or unwanted, sex as a way to heal insecurities with physical appearance; square Mercury, sensitivity to what others say, fragmented modes of communication, having a volatile tongue/sometimes using words to hurt; and trine Pluto (8H ruler, mind you) desiring transformation through sexuality to heal, or feeling comfortable with using emotional overhauls by way of partnerships to restore the sense of self. Even if you hadn’t asked me about “secret relationships” I would still have explicated the aforementioned aspects to Chiron in the same way, and so yeah…I’m not sure if the answer you wanted to hear was that, “Yes: you’re probably prone to affairs,” but it does seem your way of “healing” is inextricably tied to sex/communication through sensuality because of Chiron’s placement.

@dyedye I do have responses for your subsequent questions, so I'll get to them tonight before I start imeanj's reading

One thing I want to point out to you--for me, natal charts are more about the "self" than anything else. You asked if Eros in Libra is the reason why you attract Libras, but I think it's actually to the contrary. Eros, as I mentioned, is about the sexuality we exude and the characteristics that turn os on or that we find attractive, so I wouldn't think it as meaning that you inherently attract Libras, as much as it is that you find Libra qualities appealing and so go after people with them. Of course, given that you probably exude a Libra "type" of sensuality (think femininity, aesthetic beauty, sentimental approach + 12H mystery/hidden/secretiveness/fantasy) you're probably somewhat coy when it comes to romantic relationships, so you would attract men interested in that sort of sexual demeanor. That doesn't necessarily mean you would attract Libra suns though (what I believe you mean by Libras), and I personally analyze the Eros placement as speaking more to what you actively seek out--you're drawn to Libra passion + a 12H overcoat, so I can see why you might find that you're frequently caught up with Libra-type men who are already taken.
