Oh, lol.

I thought you were asking if it conjuncted your Uranus and Neptune.

Yeah, why wouldn't they matter

Mine's 6°, so, out there in no man's land, comparatively. I'd expected it to be tight, given my personality. I'd tossed out the whole theory until I noticed a colleague's is a 1°. Like me, he's been 'Vulcan' all of his life.

I've not researched it further, since it seemed hit-or-miss. I don't think the sign in which it's placed has much to do with how it expresses itself; it's too dependent upon SUN placement. A CAN SUN can't have an ARI VULCAN, for instance; it can only be 8° from the SUN in either direction, greatly limiting its potential sign.

Since his SUN is 8° CAN, it can really only be in CAN - either direction. Just as mine, in 13° LIB, can only be in LIB.

Where you'll get slight variation is one whose SUN is earlier than 7° of a sign; and it can only be in the preceding sign. Vice versa, should the native be a 23° SUN of whatever sign. Then it could be placed in 0° of the following.

I'd be more intrigued, if anything, by those whose VULCAN is placed in a sign other than the SUN. Or, maybe, closely conjunct MER, or the SUN.

With those who've got it in VIR, maybe they're super Virgoans? 😉

As to the rest ... it might warrant research. It's scattershot, at this point.

You're very analytical and detailed-oriented. You spot tiny flaws others would miss. Not because they overlook them, but because this is simply how your mind works - to look for the logic missing within it and criticize (your mind automatically does it, but does not communicate it's flaws - which is Virgo Mercury) it's validity within your own understanding of how the Universe's logic works. Every thought must be categorized and arranged, with perfection of execution. Your thought process works methodically and good at looking at something with a sequence of logical events. Your communication would have perfect composition. Whereas a Virgo Mercury would have perfect grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc.

It's similar to Mercury in Virgo, except it's not about the way you communicate or thought patterns, such as a practical outlook and ideas, but rather sense of logic and understanding. A Virgo Mercury would usually be quiet, criticize everything, either elaborate something with a lot of details, or make is concise and break it down for someone to understand.

Ugh, I explained that terribly, perhaps, lol.

And you meant 'its', in the first paragraph. Twice. 😉

For a hypothetical planet that is always within 8° of the Sun? I'd respectfully argue it should be treated as a Fixed Star or midpoint and tightened to a 1.30° orb at most.

Where's your MINERVA (93)? Do you have PALLAS prominent? While MINERVA better relates to what you're attributing to VULCAN, and, of course, MER and 3H/3R, PALLAS aspects can create a similar effect.

---

I have Pallas in Virgo in the 2nd House and Minerva in Pisces in the 8th House.

Pallas is only trine MC and square Jupiter.
Minerva is sextile Neptune (exact - 0 orb), conjunct Saturn (1 orb) and opposite Sun (1 orb).

Minerva is retrograde.

When dealing with these sorts of things, it helps to keep it so tight, else we risk picking up a lot of false-positives, so to speak.

Pallas does good in both Virgo and Libra, I read - since it has an affinity with them.

Haha, why can't Pallas do well in Sagittarius? Seems like it would. It's only logical with Jupiter and collegiate studies and philosophy, stuff that's supposed to equate with wisdom in some books (although there are varying opinions on what wisdom actually is.)
Is Pallas really about justice?

---

Yeah, I agree. Palls should do good in all the intellectual signs as well. And yeah, in Sagittarius would be good, too.
I meant being in Virgo and Libra is the best at least form what I read.

No, that's Astraea.

Pallas holds a staff/spear and angel ornament.

Anyway, shouldn't this be the one with affinity for Libra?

Actually, yes, it has both an affinity with Virgo and Libra.
In Mythology, Astraea sent herself into the stars and formed the constellation of Virgo. While some Mythologists/Astrologists say her scales formed the constellation of Libra.
