Childless, unmarried, "virgin". Eugenics Supporter. Scientific Genius. Female artist competing with her artist husband. Feminist. Anti-Capitalist. Ambivalent to Motherhood due to Infertility. Multiple Marriages, Affairs, and Divorce. Of course by the title you know that I am talking about Nikola Tesla and Frida Kahlo. Also from the title you know that they are both Cancers. But not just any kind of Cancers, but Unconventional Cancers.

Not all Cancers can have fat drooling bouncy babies or big families or. Some just want to live and be about their work. Regardless in part 1 of my Unconventional Cancers blog, I will be talking about Nikola Tesla. Part 2 is Frida Kahlo.

No one in the astrology community wants to admit this but astrology is very much about stereotyping. Classifying and giving people archetypes to choose from. Since this is very big world with billions of people and trillions upon trillions of possibilities, it's not uncommon to see variants from the mold. Like the ******* creepy smiley titans with heads bigger than their legs running around aimlessly, destroying the wall that protects humanity and eating people as a hobby. #AttackonTitanReference.

Nikola Tesla
He was Tesla before Tesla. Nikola Tesla was born on July 10th 1856, astrotheme linked here :https://www.astrotheme.com/astrology/Nikola_Tesla.

Tesla had a Cancer stellium with his Cancer Sun conjunct Venus and a Saturn both in Cancer. His Saturn in Cancer conjunct his Mercury in Gemini. He had a Libra Moon conjuncting his Mars in Libra. Tesla had an early Taurus Rising (with his Pluto and Uranus in Taurus in his first house), Jupiter in Aries, and Neptune in Pisces Retrograde in the 12th House.

Uranus and Pluto in the 1st House
Jupiter and Neptune in the 12th House
Mars and Moon in the 6th House
Venus, Mercury and Saturn in the 3rd House

Sun in the 4th House

This is all a lot to unpack.

Random but for some reason he reminds me of the Aquarius Russian mystic Rasputin. Except Tesla is less creepy, angry looking, and more like that quiet older man at a corner table in the library who on the low low can pull more ******* than Elvis in his heyday. Tesla and Rasputin were probably twins or at least cousins in a past life.

That uselessly clever side note aside Nikola Tesla's astrology is interesting. Tesla had no Aquarius placements whatsoever, and mostly minor aspects to Uranus (with the exception of Uranus in his 1st House). I honestly believe that Nikola's genius was from his pure and innate Cancerian psychic abilities, intuition and sensitivities that led and fed his genius. He relied on his studies but most importantly himself. Water signs have a way of knowing and at it's best if water signs are able to cut through the shite, not get weight down by emotions (yes it's possible), and do the damn shite.

His astrology is very interesting to say the least. You would think he would be uber social with enough ******* to fill a fish bowl with that Moon conjunct Mars in Libra and that Taurus rising. But he kept to himself. Or maybe he didn't. Maybe he was communicating with aliens that he found humans incredibly boring and uninspiring. His mercury in Gemini in the third house would pull some **** like that. Plus Neptune is in Pisces RETROGRADE in the 12th House is a VERY psychic position. Adding his Jupiter in Aries in the 12th House his beliefs and ideas were so enterprising/Cardinal, otherworldly, and expansive. So him working with aliens doesn't sound too crazy.

He has an eidetic memory (a close to photographic memory), slept 2 hours a day, chose chastity and science over romantic relationships and sex, was asocial but not socially awkward (he took great consideration of his appearance). A man full of contradictions and multiple conjunctions. Go figure.

Random but he hated Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison (an Aquarius) ripped him off and was a greedy fraud theft and well respected Piece of **** . Peep the shade Nikola Tesla threw at Edison in a New York Times article after Thomas Edison's death.

"He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene ... His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 percent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense."

Looking at his astrology, he's very Watery but he's also very Earthy with a stellium in Taurus. His outerplanets trifecta Pluto and Uranus are in Taurus, while his Neptune is in Pisces in the 12th House. He is otherEarthly, a being that chooses to use their energy to operate on high vibrations/energy on Earth and in an Earthy way. He chose the sciences so it doesn't get more Earthy and first dimensional than that. But he used his Cancer abilities which complimented his otherEarthly path.

It's important to note that he was also neurotic, asocial, advocated selective breeding/eugenics, did not pursued romantic relationships, and died alone and poor in hotel that someone else paid for. Perhaps this was his Saturn in Cancer which made it difficult though not impossible to form deep bonds without feeling the need to compromise. Saturn in Cancer denotes limitations and restrictions in regards to Cancer-ly, Moon, and 4th House things such as strong family/familial presence, and home/sentimentality.

His MC was in Capricorn which also denotes his lifepath as someone who works hard, struggles harder and who's legacy often flourishes after his death. Even so, I believe though he sometimes regret his choices, with Sun in the 4th House, he was doing something that he loved (inventing, creating things, exploring his mind.). This gave him joy, even if he had to suffer a little for it.

Some may say that he lived a sad, lonely, and unfulfilling life, I won't disagree. Tesla even spoke about the fact that he didn't have a boo thing (aka a wife) in reflective, regretful but overall content way of "such a great sacrifice" he made.

I would say he chose this path. It shows in his natal chart with him having Mars (action, passion) and Moon (habits, emotional urges) in the 6th House. He had a purpose, an emotional soul connection and an unwavering passion (his scientific career) that he purposefully sacrificed greatly for. Not that many people can honestly say they have a purpose in life or say that they found one. He did. He was a Cancer in a Unconventional Cancer way.

What do you think of Astro-chart? It lists him as an Aries Asc 23.59. And they mention the accuracy of his birthtime as "good".

With the above chart in mind, I would understand why I feel such an affinity for him.

His North node is in Aries. These people(or those with Mars/Uranus close aspect to North node) are geared towards being pioneers in this life in some way.

Theirs is a "trail blazer" path and can be lonesome. The first indicator I see of someone whom marriage/kids etc.may not be a top priority.

Draco Sun in 28 Gemini conjunct Mercury(natal) 28 Gemini. A man blessed with great intellect & a need to pursue intellectual pursuits ardently.

His Asc is in Aries. Mine too. However its his North node in Aries conjunct my Asc degree that makes a tight exact aspect to it at 20.3.

His Mars is in Libra 18.56 in house 6 conj Dsc. Mine is also in Libra 18.59 house 6 conj Dsc

His Sun in Cancer 17.48. I have Moon in Cancer at 17.43

I blame his Sun/Venus in 4th for his love for a reclusive existence. Also included therein is the Saturn-Mercury wide conjunction in 3rd and Saturn square Jupiter in 12th.

With the above aspects in mind, Tesla just couldn't do "small talk" nor be caught up in the conventional societal existence which involved such proprieties.

His Chiron is in Aqua-square Pluto in Taurus. He certainly felt the pain of not fitting into the society he was born into(nevermind the time period). It probably fueled his resolve to "cut off"(Pluto) from people.

His dedication to work is typical of Moon/Mars in 6th house. But more than that, I think it was an area of life where he felt the most competent and in control of.

Mars is a couple of degrees shy of the Dsc(marriage). These folks can be the type to find love(7th) through work(6th). This is more especially since in his case, the Moon is conjunct Mars i.e great emotional(moon) passion(mars) for his work(6th).

Also possible is that they fight a lot with people they are in close proximity with.

Could he have fallen inlove with someone who matched his skills or worked alongside him in his discoveries and was just as passionate/dedicated as he? I think so. That is if he had allowed human interaction.

But even with that person there would have been likely a love/hate scenario as Mars conjunct 7th is passion for the person on one end and then anger for the same person on the other end.

Other obstacles include:

*Venus square Mars- Sexuality issues or the inability to divide attention between exploits for the self(Mars) and those of the relationship(Venus).

Lots of arguments with partners because of unilateral decisions the native makes or the partner makes etc. An example of this his rivalry with one-time partner and friend Thomas Edison.

*Another issue is that Moon/Venus square. This is uncomfortable living arrangements or inability to share space with people for a long time. These natives are easily irritable with someone in their space for too long.

*Moon/Mars is short fuse or a bad temper. Whilst Sun/Mars also supports a more independent and sometimes very uncooperative nature.

I trust Astrotheme, more than Astro-charts when it comes to ascendants.

I am not at all convinced Tesla was a genuine Taurus rising personality. 2-3 years ago I had begun and in-depth collection of biographical information on him to inform an equally in-depth testing/rectification of his birth chart. Unfortunately within the last couple years I lost a lot of computer files during some hardware problems and my folder on Tesla was one of them. I do recall that the most likely scenario developing for his Asc was in Aries, not Taurus. However, with the computer trouble my notes were lost and I did not pick up the project to complete it.

More interesting things about his chart are:

- Moon parallel Neptune ~5° south declination. This is one of those aspects of super-sensitivity that can allow a person to be very creative, inspired, functioning as if a medium, but potentially can lead to mental health issues, anxieties, isolation, obsessions, substance abuse, etc.

- Sun parallel Saturn at 22° north declination. This effectively modified Sun's conjunction with Venus since Saturn is also parallel Venus.

- Jupiter contra-parallel Pluto at 2° N/S declination. The harder or stronger Jupiter-Pluto aspects indicate tremendous drive to accomplish, to grow, to experience more.

Tesla put FEMALEs on pedistal and his mother was his hero - thats super cancerian. He decided not to marry because he didnt like that women started behaving like men, geting out of their traditional roles that he adored ! He felt that if he would marry and get kids he could not focus on work, his family would be the center of his world and some other factors in his chart did not allow him to become a family guy because he would make one hell of a traditional family man - very cancerian indeed.

Also he was a gambler and in youth realy irresponsible young man - i am from Serbia and he was a Serbian so i got to read some testimonies about him, he was not defined at all, he just had very fertile mind, his ideas were his children, he was all about creation ---- very cancerian
