Definetly speaking problems. Huuuge problems when trying to adress a group of people. It is when my mercury "breaks" and i get confused and can't think. I actually had to read from a list more than a few times.

When i speak to someone i have to constantly repeat myslef, because they don't understand/hear me. It goes vice versa, when they speak to me, i have trouble memorising what i need to do and things like that.

And i thought merc in aqua was a good placement... not at all if it's afflicted!

Jupiter (my only planet in the Eastern Hemisphere).

and

Pluto (my only Air planet).

No use squirming around this one- the Eleanor Buckwalter reading (posted at the beginning of this thread) does apply to me.

If you've read it, you know how much courage it takes to plead guilty to that.

Yeah so just add courage to my list of "special" qualities please.

There is a joke about a child who discovers a room filled with manure on Christmas morning. He is delighted and immediately starts digging, declaring, “With this much horse crap, there’s got to be a pony in here somewhere!” That’s Jupiter taken a bit to the extreme. And so is the scene in the movie, “The Life of Brian,” which ends with the chorus happily singing at the Crucifixion, “Always Look on the Bright Side.” Both optimism and humor are Jovan qualities.

Mercury, in sagitary and 4th house is the only mutable planet.
"Fire signs learn through action, by playing and being creative." and "When Mercury is a singleton there are special, unusual issues in terms of thinking and communicating. The person with a natal Mercury singleton has special gifts and/or problems with perception and communication"
This is true, I always had trouble learning in the traditional way - schools, classes; people say I'm VERY inteligent, but I never get good grades, and I was diagnosted with ADD (can't pay attention at boring stuff, really). And it's on an water house, I do have a big emotional inteligence of other people, but my own, pff!

I also have Mercury singleton in a cadent house (9th). But sometimes I feel that's incorrect bc my Venus and Pluto are on the 8th/9th house cusp; tbh I think they act more like 9th house placements. Do planets on the cusp of houses do that?? Sorry, I'm fairly new to learning about astrology.

Quite often singletons do go hand in hand with a lack in the elements, but you should be cautious and see if there is compensation going on.

I have Neptune as singleton in 9th conj 10th cusp in Scorpio...

As my Neptune singleton to ,will comment as follows---
now my neptune (0' critical degree) is 9th conj 10th cusp (not MC) in Equal house system. I feel (singletons) suggests this planet has 'more importance' and acts bit like the handle on a bucket chart or funnel for other energies. I have Neptune in Scorpio conj 10th house cusp opp sun/moon and as we know scorpio always wants deep and meaningful and is great for research, digging and delving into 'spiritual matters' (in my case) and working with spirit but always wanting more, or wanting things quicker(communications,symbols,messages), but never getting it, which has been a major frustration disillusionment -- typical Neptune rose tinted glasses.

We all think we can do better and push for better, but when the control (scorpio) is not in our hands ie: others then my theory/idea is 'serve or suffer' give in without reservation and accept you cannot limit, change or expect how others (spirit) want to or will work with me. Hope this makes sense

So think of the sign Scorpio - how this modifies Neptune, where is house (mine was 9th house of religion higher learning) and aspects is how neptune functions as in my case opposition to sun and moon, trine mars and generational square to Uranus. My Neptune opp sun/moon are also parts of *cradle* configuration

"When Neptune is a singleton (or angular, highly aspected, or at a critical degree, 29 or 0), there is a likelihood that the person will have an extraordinary degree of sensitivity. They may be so highly intuitive that they believe they have “psychic powers.” The sensitivity operates on all levels. In the physical, it can correlate with such maladies as “environmental sensitivity,” allergies of all kinds as well as a variety of autoimmune diseases. Narcolepsy (a sleep disorder), and vision problems are Neptunian afflictions. On the mental/emotional level, a person may be sensitive to “higher realms,” and experience mystical inspiration or insane delusions." http://www.astrologyclub.org/

I would add this neptune singleton has/is a major background but nonetheless important matter for ME. It's not a driving force per se like my chart ruler uranus. As uranus 7th Angular is conj Sun/moon midpoint(therefore square both luminaries) but also pof 1st and chiron both Aquarius first house..... now this I strongly identify with....

I have mine in 9th the house of in-laws. I always wanted a close loving family (as mine was quite dysfunctional really) and loved that both my husbands seemed to have this, BUT after we married they both pulled away from family to focus on me/or the relationship. Also the house of 'higher education' I regret I never got the same opportunites my two brothers were given, as it was considered (in those days) more important to educate males than females, as they would be 'breadwinners' whereas girls/females would marry and simply have children....

I also have been (past tense) confused around religion, I attended strict methodish church as a child, married in Anglican church, my sons were brought up 'junior soldiers' in salvation army, I'm a member of a Christian Spiritualist church a, psychic, medium and lots others..... but won't go on and on, but you get the gist....

also for a further link, look which house pisces is ruling and use this site to make the links http://www.skyviewzone.com/astrology...rulerships.htm

Hope this helps?

Most Pluto singleton people are very powerful, especially when Pluto is aspected by personal planets: Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury and Mars. Power is certainly a big issue with Pluto, but it can manifest in many different ways. A conscious individual of integrity or another Plutonian person will almost always like the singleton Pluto person. People with guilt complexes or who are self-deceptive and self-righteous (and a lot of that is going on these days with Pluto in Sagittarius!), will hate the Plutonian. Pluto can see their dirty little secrets and the skeletons in their closets, and hears the sound of their lies, smells the stench of their hypocrisies.

One thing that seems to stand out about people with Pluto singletons in the natal chart is that they tend to be catalysts. They can touch your life and even if you make no impression on them, they change you or you are changed by contact with them or their ideas.

My pluto aspects semisextile sun, biquintile moon, sextile venus, sextile mars, conjunct saturn and sextile neptune.

do you want to post your chart? the only reason it's afflicted is by aspects, not house placement. Mercury square pluto makes a great researcher, but 'may on occasions' be verbal lacerations or acid tongue...

Also do you have any other planets in air houses or Air Ascendant??

With a singleton Moon, all kinds of lunar issues are emphasized. It is so crucial because the Moon represents the most primitive, innate, instinctual parts of our being. It is the “inner infant” and little child that never grows up. So when there is a Moon singleton, the person has a very active and alive inner baby who is insecure and needy, as well as playful, creative, and loveable. It is also the “inner mother” who has the capacity to nurture not only the individual himself, but other people and things as well.

No, I wouldn't say they are rare either. But it's like aspect patterns, they can be catergorised as some being the most common like T Squares for example.It's just a part of delinating a chart, and incorporating into the whole...

Do you have any in your chart? How does it manifest? I have three singletons, my Neptune (only earth planet), Jupiter (only planet in a water house), and my Moon (only planet in southern hemisphere). Out of the three, my Moon is definitely strongly felt and it's not always easy since it aspects Pluto and Neptune negatively.

---

I don't accept or use that a singleton is valid if in one hemisphere, left or right.

Quite often singletons suggest also a lack in elemental balances, but before you this applies, make sure you look for planets in air/earth/water/fire houses that may help compensate..

If air element, look at mercury's aspects.

If you had read Eleanor Buckwalter’s description of a Sun singleton then you would know where my statement originated from. Do you make a special effort to be insulting or does it just come naturally to you?

It's not a handle, though that is a good suggestion. A lot of the way I interpret charts is based on seeing the zodiac as fluctuations of seasonal archetypes. In this case, hemispheres play a pretty big role in a person's paradigm.
