I can see two yods in this chart, first between, NN, Asc, Chiron, sextile the Sun, all quincunx Jupiter in the 8th.

The second with Jupiter sextile Saturn, all quincunx Asc, NN and Chiron.

Am new to interpreting yods and any help is appreciated, in fact any comments on the chart whether on the yods or not are welcomed!

Hi, personally, I see yods as the opposition forces between the sextile elements and the quincunx element, since the midpoint between the sextile elements are opposed to the quincunx element.

This is just a hunch, but do you have any issues with balancing between your own self and identity and your beliefs and what you believe to be right to do?

Hi, thanks for the reply. This isn't my chart but my partner's.
He definitely does struggle with those issues, in a number of ways including with trying to be responsible yet wanting nothing more than to be free, making too many promises and obligations and being unable to pull through...

Do you have any advice on how to work with the yods?

I haven't fully grasped the yod symbolism yet, but IMO, it's important to find balance between the sextile elements and the quincunxed element.

But your partner's chart has some squares, t-squares along with the yods, which makes things harder.

You mentioned that one of his struggles is with obligations and freedom. He has 3 planets in the 6th house, the house of servicing, routines and responsibilities in the daily life including the job; with Saturn forming a t-square with Sun/IC (sign of needing to retreat from the world and being at home and inner at times) and MC, so that it can show that heavy responsibilities can stress the balance between inner/home and social/public/career. Actually Pluto is also involved here somehow, as Saturn/Pluto midpoint squaring this opposition is more correct in terms of degrees. He probably has a hard time and this affects his confidence in the self.
Also, Mars is square Moon/Venus from the 6th house to the 4th house, showing that the need to take action, be actively involved in the job/service and routine responsibilities is again stressing the need to retreat to home and inner. Venus/Moon here is soft and peaceful, stressed by the Mars that needs to take action.

Also, he has Mercury in the 5th house, house creative expression of self as an individual. This is forming a t-square with AC/Chiron/North Node in Gemini and Uranus/DC in Sag. Is he expressive/creative, with a restless mind? Does he have an urge to express, perhaps through writing? Also, Mercury is AC ruler as well, showing more emphasis on creative expression of one's individuality.

And back to the yods... North Node is conjunct AC and Chiron, I think that this shows importance of your partner finding his true self in this world as his life lesson. It's important for him to define himself, who he really is, thought North Node is on the side of 12th house, so that this journey is more about digging deep into his own soul, and understanding on a soul level where he belongs in this world, in the collective. It's important to understand his own soul in order to define himself.
Also, Chiron here shows that he can be a good mentor/counselor type, that can be both disciplined and structured, and unconventional (Chiron is both Saturn and Uranus).
These are opposed to Uranus, and forming the yod with Saturn/Jupiter, which means that Uranus is in their midpoint and their midpoint is also opposing AC/NN/Chiron. The opposition with Uranus on DC, Uranus on DC can show instability in relationship with others, unconventional relationships, or the need for inspiration and excitement in relationships, which can lead to needing to be free from restrictions that can come from them. Jupiter/Saturn can be related to beliefs and structure, and these are conjunct Uranus that he might feel that his beliefs and structures are often shaken and renewed, specially through the relationships with others. And this can all be in conflict with who he really is and his journey to define and find himself on the soul level.

It's important for him to find the balance between all these conflicts. The oppositions and squares shows sides that needs to be balanced and harmonized, as none of the sides should be ignored or repressed. He has to learn to avoid too much responsibilities if possible, as the more he tries to assume, the less time he would have for himself, which in return would make him finally want to break free from everything.
Also, if the opposite happens and he is only running away from the responsibilities, then he would be unhappy as well, as it is important for him to learn how to be responsible and handle the daily life routine, and running away is not being mature and would not let him grow.

Wow, thanks so much for the awesome reply AriesLilith, I really appreciate the time and effort! A lot of what you say is either bang on or gives some good insight/something to ponder.

quote:
He probably has a hard time and this affects his confidence in the self.

This is very true, especially at work, he has a hard time expressing himself well/properly to others (explains himself/things in a very vague fashion that can be quite frustrating, especially for others who unlike me might not have the gall to ask him to explain better/further/clearer), and definite issues with authority/being subordinate.

Thanks for pointing out that t-square too, don't know why I didn't notice it fully, I saw all the Mercury squares but for some reason missed that.

quote:
is he expressive/creative, with a restless mind? Does he have an urge to express, perhaps through writing? Also, Mercury is AC ruler as well, showing more emphasis on creative expression of one's individuality.

Definitely restless mind. A little expressive/creative , and he recently did a bit of journaling when going through the Saturn Return which he took rather harshly... I think this is something that perhaps needs a little further development..

This rings very, very true!! We both believe innately in past lives and when read about due to north/south node placement, how in a past life he was a "wild man/hermit" who left society to live alone and meditate but got lonely in the end and now in this life has to be a part of society and contribute... It feels so true to him (and I feel it to), its awesome. About understanding where he belongs in the collective and understanding his own soul, is so true, you couldn't have worded it better

Again, so true, relationships of all kind... It really feels so difficult (for both of us, together, and separate) to balance things properly. But I know everyone has their lessons/struggles, and I suppose balance is the key to most things, it very hard to find though sometimes!

Thank you again for taking the time to reply, it really has helped me understand his chart in a more whole and concise manner. I get really stuck on the separates and struggle to see how everything operates together.

Your chart reading is very accurate and insightful
