Let me give you an example and let me try explain myself.

My weakest planets are Mercury and Venus.
Mercury being singleton and black sheep since it's the only air sign I have. It's in Libra. It's in 8th house. In terms of aspects, it's semi sextile Moon, square Mars, quincunx Saturn and semi sqaures Pluto. And since I'm still learning parallels, I'm just going to go with ''classic'' aspects.

Next is Venus in Scorpio (not a great one I can tell you that) in 9th house. Venus semi squares Sun, conjuncts Moon, conjuncts Jupiter (it's a wide conjunction so but I do feel it and I acknowledge it always), trines Saturn, squares Uranus and semi squares Chiron. Thanks to Kannon, I know Moon, Venus and Jupiter parallel each other.

Now, onto the important stuff. South node in Taurus in 3rd house. Since Mercury is planet of communication and since it's ruling both Gemini and Virgo, I'm pretty sure that 3rd house is where I'm getting my way with words when I'm in the mood. It's empty planet wise. It's also in Aries. Venus rules Taurus and Libra and all those pretty and pleasant stuff.

Logically, my NN is in Scorpio in 9th house with 9th house stellium to back it up. Buying let's say cosmetics and make up and clothes is sometimes my way to go when dealing with ugly or hurtful things. And that's my south node playing it's part. Sure, maybe I have this huge void in my heart but at least I have this pretty nail polish, look who is winning at life. Mind you, I act this way only when I'm upset. Usually, my life is aligned with my NN.

Does anybody have another example or is there a book about this or did someone else suggested this? All help is appreciated.

Maybe I was a psychopath in a past life, or for a few past lives?

I don't really think of planets as being weak. I've found those placements that some consider weak, can be stronger than they could imagine, because of their own bias against signs. Not you, I'm thinking of those who loathe Gemini, for example, or Pisces. They're underestimated.

That's true. I can agree with you because sometimes I think Mercury is the one who is pulling strings in my chart.

We can all drag signs because all signs have good and bad side we all know that but hating someone's sign and saying all Leos for example are bad is so extreme. I chose Leo for this one since we are slowly leaving Leo season.

Yeah, I wasn't accusing you of that. I was just thinking about people who have an obvious bias. It's only something that bothers me when I'm here.
