Planet, Sign Delineation: Many Ways to Read Astrological Signatures

(originally posted on Astrogasm) As many astrologers would agree, one aspect or signature does not tell the full tale. How could someone who loves to sing (me!) actually sound good (maybe) if they don’t have the classic aspects for a vocalist — Sun Conjunct Venus or Mercury, and Venus Conjunct Mercury?! Well, my Venus is…

Why I don’t want to be a Therapist or Psychologist…

And having a Virgo stellium in the 8th with Mercury & Pluto (not conjunct) with harmonious yet powerful aspects flowing through that house, it’s not really a wonder why I’m told that… I genuinely care…

Natal Aspects: The Sun & Venus in hard aspect — Sun Semi-Square Venus, etc.

Natal & Synastry Astrology: The Solution to Venus Square Saturn in Love – Part Two

The lesson of Venus Square Saturn is to be responsible, discipline enthusiasm, yet care about the feelings of others and yourself. Let the love grow slowly and deeply yet nurture it all the same. Love, being in-love, and first love feelings can be delicious; however, if your or the other person’s heart is not open to love, it won’t happen or it will happen with a lot of tension.

Astrology: Charlie Sheen, Mars Square Neptune, & Seeing the Gift

Here’s one possible upside: I believe a Healer (Mars-Neptune) is an awesome profession/skill and when you have it in square, you understand people’s pain better. You know “how” to heal in a very primal and enlightened way. However, the square will delay opportunities for you to do it. It will test your knowledge of healing and maybe put you into situations that will help you “get” healing better so you can go out and heal others. 🙂 Our pain becomes healing.

Astrology Aspects: How the Sesquisquare Functions – Part Two

Below is what I have come up with notes about what other astrologers have said (thanks to links supplied by readers in the original document, now called Part One and a Facebook group discussion). My theory is not exhaustive, perfect, or anything like that. These are ideas about the Sesquiquadrate’s meaning, wrong or right, as I contemplated on the symbols and pattern. Please test it out and let me know what you think.

Astrology Aspects: Sesquare, Square & Semi-Square Sample Delineations – Part Three

Below is a comparison between the Sesquisquare (also know as the Sesquiquadrate) and the semi-square and square. This is followed by what others say about Saturn square Uranus as I believe this an aspect that most readily suggests some of the challenges and solutions in the Sesquiquadrate. I also say that this aspect has a Neptunian quality about it too. That’s probably why I choose to delineate Neptune and Mercury (a lower vibration of Uranus).

(Yahoo Answers) Why are Harmonic Aspects Ignored by Many Astrologers?

I responded to this question on Yahoo Answers: How Do You Figure Out if Two Placements are “sextile” Or ” Conjunct” etc..? If someone has their Moon in 29 degree aquarius and I have my moon in 16 degrees Taurus, does that mean those two are sextiles?? Or do they square cuz its taurus and aquarius??…

Aspects: Sesquiquadrate featured w/ Square and Semi-Square – Part One

Sesquiquadrate? How the heck do you pronounce Sesquiquadrate anyway? It’s a mouthful! And, to me, that translates to complex and hard to understand and that might be part of the problem. Is it even worth delineating? To me, fortunately or not, it is!

Other than reading that the Sesquiquadrate (inversion of a Semi-square) is less evil, I haven’t read much about it that differs it from a Square or Semi-Square. (Thank you Jan Bird for posting some links in the comments section!! I welcome more links as well)

Many astrologers (to my knowledge) do not speak about it in regards to how it affects a chart or transit. Is that because it’s known as a “minor aspect”?

Astrological Contact Types in Planetary Aspect (now including Sesquiquadrate)

Astrology Language: Aspect Delineation, Reading Aspects
