My Mercury in Capricorn likes to look at life in a mathy way, it's in the 9th House so seeks to learn about the laws of reality in a mathy way. My Mercury is opposed my Jupiter in Cancer 3rd House, which refuses to settle for a calculated and methodical view of environment. I have always referred to astrology as emotional math.

Finally, I have Uranus in Scorpio 7th house. which inspires a "mad scientist" or "observe and poke it" perspective of relationship to my environment. I could see this Uranus being interested in feely-math as well.

I have Pisces Sun (chart ruler) in the 8th in aspect to Uranus/Neptune/Pluto, Moon/Venus in aspect to Pluto, Mercury (3rd house ruler) angular in Aquarius in aspect to Uranus, Pluto angular, Uranus aspecting Asc, Neptune aspecting Mc, and Jupiter in Scorpio.

Here's the chart for famous astrologer Stephen Arroyo. And the category on Astrodatabank.

Uranus
-NN conjunct Uranus in Gemini in the 3rd (Gemini Uranus could be seen as a Mercury/Uranus interchange)
-Mercury (ruler of 3rd) trine Uranus in the 3rd
-Moon in Aquarius Grand Trine Uranus and Mercury
Neptune
-Sun conjunct Neptune
-angular Neptune conj DSC
-Neptune sq MC
Pluto
-Sun sextile Pluto exact
-Venus/Mars/Jupiter in Scorpio
-Pluto trine ASC
-Venus in the 8th
*Sun/Mercury/Mars/Jupiter/Neptune in 7th for focus on understanding others & esp Libra Mercury in the 7th for figuring out how people work and thinking of others often esp since it's also 3rd house ruler and in that Air Grand Trine so it's really given room to play around with ideas and find connections.

That's an interesting aspect, I think I might have it too...

I don't know, my mother got me into astrology, if she wasn't so interested & keen to show me how some things in the charts of certain people work out in real life, I guess I wouldn't even believe there's any truth to it...

As to why astrology is house 11, space is house 9, astrology is the language of the skies, so 3rd house (communication) from the 9th of space. That, and I've rectified thousands of charts where the astrology of the chart has been brought up, which coincides with a 1st and 11th house aspect in transit.

House 11. I cannot stress this enough!

Also, the other outer planets, and the signs they rule, Neptune, Pluto, Jupiter… and even sometimes Saturn… can point towards one being interested in astrology as a means to an end, in the sense that it helps them understand, and gives guidance with regard to the subject matter that they have an interest in…

To me Uranus (and Aquarius) rules Astrology, as well as quest to observe and understand humanity in general… from this point of view, people, and the various social situations they get themselves into, are science projects!….Uranus/Aquarius types are fascinated by the different kinds of variety found in humanity, and the reasons for that variety. This is why I think they say Aquarius rules astrology, which is basically a categorization of humanity… and yet also an explanation as to why no two humans are exactly alike, even though we are all subject to the same methods of categorization… our birth charts are like snow flakes, there may be some similarities with other snow flakes, but no two are ever exactly the same.

For example, an Aquarius/Uranus type wonders why their cousin Fred is a Taurus and yet such a blabber mouth, while their friend Terry is also a Taurus but only speaks in mono-syllables… then they check both of their birth charts, and discover that while Fred has a chatty hyper Gemini Mercury, Terry has both Mercury and the Sun in the more quiet steady sign of Taurus, explaining the difference between their communication styles even though they both have Taurus Suns.

Neptune (and Pisces) rules our glamorous ideals of what should be (fantasies), how we escape dreary reality and express our dreams and fantasies (films, novels, music, illusion), the flow of psychic energy itself (vibes, atmosphere, energy healings, metaphysics), other states of consciousness (dreaming, meditating), mysticism and ‘white light’ type paranormal stuff (magic, angels, spirit guides), and being able to tune into the general ‘feeling’ and ‘direction’ of things, people and places as a whole… in terms of an interest in astrology, Neptune shows a desire to understand the general ‘trend’ behind things, and possibly also satisfies Neptune’s faith that there is a reason and rhyme to everything… Neptune is all about the flow of psychic energy, which in turn leads to the flow of events and situations, and our intuitive ability to tap into this….

like if a Neptune/Pisces person has a ‘bad’ gut feeling about Tuesday, they can look up the Ephemeris and see that transiting Mars is exact square their Pluto on that day, and so they know that their intuition was right, and that Tuesday is a day that they need to be cautious of any kind of risky activity.

Pluto (and Scorpio) rules psychology (motivations), and some of the darker paranormal stuff ….like ghosts, the occult, black magic, demonic spirits and creatures (fictional or not), and peoples dark side (temptation, resentment, jealously, rage), as well as the cycles of life and death, and the changes we must all go through in our journey on this planet. Scorpio/Pluto rules fate, unavoidable changes, and endings. Scorpio/Pluto types have a strong focus on what the true motivations of people are in interpersonal relationships, the issues that come to the fore when two people merge there energy and resources (or choose not to), and the power balance that occurs in relationships as a result. This is usually with respect to marriage, or romantic relationships. However there is also an interest in understanding the inner motivations behind any kind of relationship… family, friends, co-workers. Scorpio/Pluto types often have a vested interest in how these types of things will play out, and of course astrology provides excellent guidance as to what to expect with each and every relationship in our lives. When Scorpio/Pluto types take an interest in astrology it is usually because they desire to understand the inner motivations of others and what to anticipate when interacting with them. Including when to protect themselves, when to open up, and when to let go… Pluto/Scorpio types also have an interest in the cycles of time and the effect these will have on their lives… astrology again can give tremendous insight into these things…

for instance, a couple has a Venus/Mars trine and transiting Pluto comes a long and squares one partners Mars and quincunxes the other one’s Venus…the result may be that while relationship has been mostly peaceful, for a short period of time Mars may struggle with jealousy, and Venus may feel very uncomfortable with this… however they can both rest assured that this trend is temporary and things should return to normal once Pluto finishes it’s transit. This is the type of scenario that Scorpio/Pluto types really values information on.

Jupiter (and Sagittarius) rules the search for the true meaning, the pattern behind everything, and the organization to the universe. Jupiter/Sagittarius types may became interested in astrology because it provides a context with which to understand why things are the way they are, and how the reality that we live in functions. These types need a framework to reference for life’s journey and astrology helps provide guidance…

Saturn rules how we are able to utilize the resources around us in order to achieve our ambitions and insure our security. If a strong Saturn/Capricorn type can get over the stigma that astrology has for being a ‘superstition‘, then they may more then likely be interested in using it for such things as planning ahead, choosing when to act, and choosing who to connect with, while in the process of pursuing their goals.

And another thing… in terms of being interested in astrology for it’s own sake and not as merely a means to an end…

The axis of Leo/Aquarius has a strong tie to astrology… Leo rules the drama and experience of life, and how we act in the throws of passionate emotion… Aquarius rules the study and observation of these life dramas, and ascertaining the reasons behind them… which is where astrology comes in.

If you have the Leo/Aquarius axis falling on the 3rd house/9th house axis (the intellectual axis) this could point to a strong interest in astrology. The same goes for having it on the Asc/Dsc or even the Mc/Ic axis (the themes of drama and observation will be a dominating influence in your life), and also the 5th/11th house axis (which again promotes an interest in people and the reason behind their dramas). Also, strong Uranus and Aquarius placements in the chart really promote a strong interest in ‘people watching’ and also ‘people understanding’, which could very likely lead to an interest in astrology (Leo by itself is more interested the ups and downs of experiencing life rather than understanding the theoretical reasons behind it).

Using myself as an example… I have Sagittarius rising (it fits my general outlook to see the patterns in things) with the sign Aquarius on the 3rd house cusp (I pretty much think about astrology all day every day), ruled by Uranus in Scorpio (love to understand peoples motivations, and my Moon in 8th house enhances this) falling at the end of the 11th house, and conjunct the 12th house cusp. I have been totally obsessed with astrology from about the age of 13, and although I love all aspects of it, the astrology of love and relationships is my favorite topic. My Asc ruler Jupiter falls in early Cancer in the 7th house (strong interest in relationship issues), and Mercury is in Sagittarius at the end of the 12th house and conjunct my Asc (interested in metaphysics, and er… myself). My 9th house cusp is Leo ruled by Sun in Capricorn falling in the 1st house… (have often used astrology to understand the reason for my own tendencies).

So in summery, an interest in astrology for it’s own sake, simply for the joy of understanding and using it is definitely an Aquarius, Uranus, 11th house thing. But you don’t need to have any major Aquarian placements (although this certainly helps too)… simply having it influence the intellectual parts of your chart is more than enough… on the 3rd/9th, Mercury, Jupiter, Asc/Dsc, Mc/Ic, and even on the 11th/5th .

And for those who have interest in Astrology as merely a tool that they can use… Usually it has to do with the outer planets starting with Jupiter though Pluto, and the signs they rule being strong in the chart…

And I forgot to Mention earlier, Mercury dominated charts may also show an interest purely for the sake of mental stimulation, but this interest will be shallow unless backed up by other chart placements the deepen that interest.
