From what I've read, it seems that Saturn symbolizes the left brain and Uranus the right brain. But I've also noticed that whatever rules your 10th house rules your left brain and whatever rules your 11th rules your right brain, in your natal chart. With that said, I wonder what planetary aspects would show more left brain dominance versus right brain dominance. Also, if a person is, say, more right-brain dominant (natally) on a "left brain leaning day" (given whatever planetary and luminary transits there are), if that's why they may not feel themselves that day, or like they're not getting all that they wanted to accomplished. Thoughts and feedback appreciated, thanks! IP: Logged |

Interesting topic!I'm (supposedly) left brain dominant, with a strong right brain (I'm quite ambidextrous), and have Capricorn on the MC, with a very strong Saturn. Uranus rules the 11th and is quite weak. Not sure about what else could be relevant.

Left hand is ruled by Right brain. Right hand is ruled by Left brain.I have Venus and Saturn in Pisces in my 11th house. I have Uranus, sun, and mars in Aqaurius in my 10th house. Uranus in Aquarius is conjunct my 27 degree Capricorn Mc, while neptune in 25 degree Cap conjuncts it on the other side. I can use both hands quite well. I trained myself to, but it came easy. I can do this twist thing with my tongue. At first I could only twist my tongue to the left, and when I tried to the right it became quite difficult. Then I focused on it really hard and I could twist it to my right. I have way better balance with my left hand than my right hand. But I am right hand dominant, which makes me left brain dominant? i have to look into this. Super interesting! IP: Logged |

left brain and right brain arent actually in conflict with each other. right brain is your "creative" brain while your left brain is your "analytical" brain. a mark of true genius is to train those two to act in conjunction with one another. its odd though, because im naturally more analytical in my thinking rather than creative, even though i am pisces heavy. its been just recently where ive learned to tap into that pisces heavy imaginative powers to help my art. ------------------ Sun Aries Moon Pisces Mars Pisces Venus Pisces Mercury Aries Jupiter in Virgo Saturn in Aquarius Pluto in Scorpio Neptune and Uranus in Capricorn Ascendant Libra IP: Logged |

What I find so interesting about this is how personalized each of our right brain and left brain thinking and functioning can be as we look to see what signs (and even planetary/luminary activity) rule (or are in) the 10th and 11th house. What I'd be curious about is what it's like for someone with a duplicated sign over the 10th and 11th house cusp (or if a planet is on the 11th house cusp and is therefore more of a 10th/11th house "blend") if they find their thinking to be more unified and whole, or what their experience is like. Thanks for the feedback so far. Keep it coming, everyone! IP: Logged |

My learning style = Visual-Spatial My dominant brain = Right My dominant planet = Neptune My dominant aspect = Sun conjunct-parallel Neptune My Mercury aspect = Mercury conjunct NeptuneI lose focus while I'm listening to someone for long. For example, while talking to a friend on the phone, she asks me if she's boring me. She must have heard me typing. I need the big picture first and details later, so I have some idea what she's talking about. Otherwise, I can't follow. I remember things best visually or only visually. Facial expressions. I like geometric shapes, geography, drafting, design, and other things that captivate me visually. I also like jigsaw puzzles and maps. My parents bought me two jigsaw puzzles when I was small. One was a world map and the other a country map. They somehow figured out my Sun placement. Uranus ruling the right brain? I don't think so. At least not my brain.

I remember reading your eyesight can tell which side is dominant. My right eye is weaker and this suggests my right brain is more active.IP: Logged |

Hmmm. You've mentioned having a crowded 6th house, right? I'm a dualie. Can write with either when I have to. But it's more of a party trick since writing in English left-handed makes no sense whatsoever because you can't really see what you're writing unless you turn the page sideways... actually, I guess I kind of do that anyways... Bottom to top with my right, top to bottom with my left. (If that makes sense?) I draw/ink/mouse with them interchangeably and usually use both together when I paint. (Watercolor---gotta work fast.) My 6th House(Libra/Scorpio) is pretty crammed. Even more so if you count asteroids. (Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Mercury, Ceres, Vesta) IP: Logged |

Hi Brontex! Hope you're doing well. Yep, that'd be me. quote: Bottom to top with my right, top to bottom with my left. (If that makes sense?)
Nope, didn't get that quote: I draw/ink/mouse with them interchangeably and usually use both together when I paint. (Watercolor---gotta work fast.)My 6th House(libra) is pretty crammed. Even more so if you count asteroids.
Dang, that's cool. I'm nowhere near such dexterity, though! Now I'm envious. Need to start doing more things with my left hand! IP: Logged |

Left brain is Mercury Right brain is VenusThe two planets which circle the Sun, astrologically. Any ways, I guess find which influence is stronger? The aspects to those planets also add definition, I'd imagine. IP: Logged |

Actually, yes. Left-handed people are usually considered more creative and artistic.

I have always been super imaginative/creative and artistic and I am right handed so I'm not convinced this is entirely true. I have always been miles ahead of others on imagination, even when I was two/three years old, people noticed it and remarked.IP: Logged |

Hey! You know know me---keeping busy if nothing else quote: Originally posted by Doux Rêve: Nope, didn't get that
Think about a piece of lined paper sitting in front of you. Turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise (for right-handed). Then the starting point is at the bottom and you write upwards. Or turn it 90 degrees clockwise (for left-handed) and the starting point is at the top and you write downwards. IP: Logged |

SSS,That probably means that your right brain is very active. It's good to have them both balanced, like CatMote pointed out. quote: Originally posted by Icarus: I remember reading your eyesight can tell which side is dominant. My right eye is weaker and this suggests my right brain is more active.
This is actually interesting.. My left eye is weaker and I'm left brain dominant. Hm. IP: Logged |

So it's possible to be right handed and right brained, too? I have always been told the opposite lol. It's clearer now. My right eye's eyesight is weaker than the left's so I guess it means the right side is dominant? IP: Logged |

"Better" is an awfully relative term. Especially when it comes to things creative. There are definitely people in both camps who run circles around me.

Seems like this left brain/right brain stuff is too black and white. By better, I mean, technically they are better at composing music, playing instruments, drawing, sculpting, creating something from tiny scraps of paper - you name it. IP: Logged |

Yeah, but how can you really prove that one painting or song is objectively better than another? It's all really personal and subjective. ---- I remember reading a study somewhere that talked about a correlation between certain types of astigmatism and being dual-handed and/or flipping between the left and right hemispheres, but it's not like you ever use just one at a time... well, that is unless you're severely epileptic or Phineas Gage and survived a railroad spike through the brain.

Well you're posting here now, so that's a start! quote: Think about a piece of lined paper sitting in front of you. Turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise (for right-handed). Then the starting point is at the bottom and you write upwards. Or turn it 90 degrees clockwise (for left-handed) and the starting point is at the top and you write downwards.
Ah, got it. That's a weird way of looking at it, but okay! SSS,
quote: So it's possible to be right handed and right brained, too?
Actually, I don't know about that.. I do think that if you're right-handed, you're left-brain dominant but may have a very active right brain. Ugh I don't know.. Anyone? IP: Logged |

Brontex, Generally it's based on how complicated and technical it is. You are right about it being subjective, but things with many layers, forethought, strategy and technical correctness tend to win out over stuff that's more amateur. People like to be amazed by what they see.

Entirely yes. If you stop to consider it, it become rather apparent that brain dominant vs hand dominant aren't directly related. There are ambidextrous people who favour one brain half, and there are left brain people who are also left handed, and so on for every combination of hand/brain domination. Whoever was telling you that obviously hasn't considered the facts. IP: Logged |
