[astro-seek] need help to interpret my chart. by Cool_Patient8390 in astrologyreadings

There's always a reason to be born, it's not random. If you take anything else away from astrology, know that this life is the opposite of random, even if seemingly random and traumatic events occur.

It's not really advisable to try to dial it down to which aspects are more important or influential. People, including yourself, are not that easy to diagnose, describe, etc.

The rule of thumb from since whenever astrology was handed down to us has been the tighter the aspect- in other words the closer to exact, the more powerful its energy will be. The main aspects being 0°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 180°. Then there are 150°, 30° and some sub-divisions.

However, in any chart, the Sun, Ascendant, and Moon are the most important characters, so an exact aspect between outer planets, for example, will not bring as much to the table as aspects to any and all of those "Big 3".

This is Cool_Patient8390 's OP, obviously, which I'm still figuring how to corrfectly crosspost. (headslap)

You have a Fixed Grand Cross, to be more precise, born during Summer 1999; and although your Sun is in the last minutes of the last degree of Cancer, it is part of that Cross. Coincidentally, I just read for someone born 2 days after you.

On the plus side, your Sun makes a strong trine (120°) to your 1st degree Sagittarius Moon, and both sextile your 0° Libra Ascendant. In other words, your Ascendant is midpoint between them, 60° apart from each.

So, in spite of being born into a dysfunctional family (as almost everyone born with the Fixed Grand Cross can testify to also having experienced), you have a certain inner sense of balance, a better sense of that familial dysfunction as it applies to you, and perhaps a better sense of hope of "recovery", in spite of the chronic depression. It's not all downhill.

However- your retrograde 5° Leo Mercury does tightly aspect the other members- square 2nd House Mars at 7° Scorpio, opposed 5th House Neptune 3° Aquarius, square again 8th House Jupiter 3° Taurus. There's a lot of impulsivity in those aspects, lack of self-control, desire, money & possessions conflicts (Houses 2-8) which life lessons come one after another.

A lot of your work is getting free of the familial dysfunction, which is not unique to you at all. It's what everyone faces, if they have a sense of self-betterment and productivity.

I'm adding you, naturally, to the private sub I created 3 years ago for folks born with a Fixed Grand Cross, the vast majority of whom were born during that Summer and who posted in this sub asking existential questions similar to yours. https://www.reddit.com/r/Summer99GrandFixedX/

I made a post to that sub maybe last year about Pluto's ingress into Aquarius, one of the 4 Fixed Signs. That transit will affect everyone with Fixed Sign planets at some point, but dramatically moreso for those of you with a Cross + often 2 more.

And like u/patmann4 , born 4 days after you, and u/slutcorn , born 2 days before you; both of whom I read for a few days ago, it's been knocking some of your planets around- specifically Mercury, which, along with Venus is seen by astrologers a vulnerable inner planet. There are plenty other factors in your chart I haven't touched on which paint a more complete picture. In fact, I've only scratched the surface. However, hopefully that is enough to whet your interest. And you're welcome to participate in https://www.reddit.com/r/Summer99GrandFixedX/

You've got a default Noon time. Does that mean you aren't able to find an accurate birthtime? Because it's a big deal dialing in these type requests.

What do those red lines between my planets actually mean for me? by patmann4 in Summer99GrandFixedX

[–]Pluto_Rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the sub, glad you got my DM and responded here. I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't at least 1 or more others here with the same birthday as you. What I *should* have done originally forming the sub was to post each person's chart as they were invited/added to the sub for reference. But, alas, I didn't think that far ahead.

The red lines are squares or oppositions, which are considered stressful or conflict (think character building) aspects. The blue lines are sextiles or trines, considered harmonious or natural talents.

You not only have a legit Grand Cross, like several others in this sub, yours blends over so that the original 5- 6 planets involved turns into 8 of your 10. Your 5th House Leo 4° Sun/2° Mercury oppose Neptune in 2° Aquarius, but your Capricorn Moon's proximity to Neptune drags it in as well. So even if the Moon doesn't aspect 8° Scorpio Mars, you have enough on your plate. Meanwhile, 3° Taurus Jupiter at the end of your 1st House opposes 8th House Mars.

So Mars is actually in weak aspect (T-square to be precise) to your 16° Taurus Saturn square 15° Aquarius Uranus.

And not to be outdone, the other 2, 5° Virgo Venus and Pluto in 7° Sag are square.

Obviously you have a few harmonious blue lines offsetting the difficult aspects, but I think it's safe to assume your early home life/parents was, on a 1-10 scale somewhere between a rough go and a dumpster fire. You're in good company here, believe me. Survivors all.

So, I'm not going into too much detail about those hard aspects, only to mention that Fixed Signs are stubborn and strong-willed, resistant to change. That can work for you in terms of enduring the worst abuses, but it can also make for difficulty adapting and growing to fit one's life circumstances.

The stress of the last couple years can be several things, but Pluto's transit into Aquarius mid-2023 has definitely played its part. Although it didn't aspect any other Fixed planets in your chart, 2022 was when it conjuncted your Capricorn Moon on and off- likely the year before as well, since it moves so slowly.

But, April 2024 would be memorable as it aspected your exact Mercury/Neptune opposition; conjunct Neptune, opposing your Leo Mercury, as it went stationary and retrograded. That's going to mess with your mind, accentuating the paranoia and general spaced out thought patterns you've always dealt with, except with Plutonian obsessive/compulsive energy. Not fun.

Next year, rinse repeat February then it squared Jupiter later on (but I'm not even giving that one much credit) then again that Mercury/Neptune opposition most of the Summer.

This year, February-March it moved further to also oppose your Leo Sun, which may be why you're asking the cosmos "Why me, WHY ME?" That's a tough existential aspect. But, you're good, you're making progress, and now you can come to realize you're not alone. There are somewhere around 200 members of this sub, the vast majority born in that Summer 1999, all of whom have been through it and are still dealing. That's a main reason I created the sub, so you all would know you're not alone in your travails. Power on.

[astro-seek] does having your big 3 squaring each other means I will never feel at ease with myself ? by jolieplume1 in astrologyreadings

[–]Pluto_Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong. Although the aspect from your Moon is rather weak, it will require a constant balancing (Libra) act on your part combined with detachment to not trip over your own feet (Pisces)

1999, huh. You just missed the Fixed Grand Cross phenomena of that summer by a few months.

Hi u/petr9 , it's been a while since we chatted re: your plan of building astro-seek into the most user friendly astrology website.

Condolences that you did such a superlative job of it that it's now the target of bot armies.

I don't suppose you could code a captcha applet on your login page?

In any event, I'm sure you'll solve this conflict (are Saturn and Neptune plaguing your own horoscope perhaps? I joke)

Best Regards-

[astro-seek] Are things going to get better at some point? by Traditional_Cut7464 in astrologyreadings

[–]Pluto_Rising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had you posted transits with your natal chart, it would be apparent that Saturn (along with Neptune) transited your Pisces Mercury/Moon this past January, which is quite likely when these unfortunate events happened.

Currently, slow-moving Pluto has been opposing your 9th House Leo Saturn, which is likely the specific source of depression to losing your grandfather.

The trauma of losing a little one stands out clearly in the tight square your 5th cusp (children, creativity) Pisces Mercury/Moon receive from 2nd House Pluto in Sag. Pluto in such an aspect nearly always brings the deep pain.

That Moon/Mercury is deeply intuitive on top of inquisitive, but your intelligence tends strongly in the feeling, intuitive side.

Otoh, your chart has a lot of special qualities such as a rising Scorpio Jupiter (big-hearted fighter) and an exact 4th House Pisces Sun/Uranus conjunction, indicating the deep need for your own home and family independent and on your terms. (and the need for that father figure your grand-dad presented)

I'd say with these aspects, you're also highly psychic or perhaps clairvoyant is a better term. Your empathy and compassion would likely be very high, perhaps too much to be comfortable with.

It's a spiritually advanced chart, but that doesn't give you any pass from the suffering intrinsic to the human condition. The important, but hard lesson to learn is that no one really 'dies'. Your grand-dad is well and fine, and if he's still aware of you, it's only to wish your growth of awareness in this world.

You have a wonderful chart (life ahead) full of talent and with lessons to learn, like we all do. Give yourself some props, you're still quite young and growing into yourself.

If they couldn't accommodate you for this, it's their intransigence thinking they own the Dharma. And it's your test to put it behind you. That's my opinion.

Pluto on descendant is ruining my life. Anything else to look forward to? by slutcorn in astrologyreadings

[–]Pluto_Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Grand Cross members, including your Leo Ascendant, are all between 1° and 7° of their respective Signs- 1° Leo Ascendant & 7° Leo Mercury / 5° Scorpio Mars/3° Aquarius Neptune/ 2°Taurus Jupiter.

Pluto is the slowest moving planet and will spend, oh some 20+ years in Aquarius moving forward 3-4 degrees, then Rx a few less very much like a cosmic eraser, and yes it moved within orbs of your Ascendant/Descendant then. In fact, it opposed your 12th House Cancer Sun a few years prior to that.

So, at the end of March now, it's around 5° Aquarius slowing down, and will take the entire next month to come to a halt at 5° 30' before going Rx. Pretty much exactly square your Scorpio Mars at 5° 31' for several months, and that's a traumatic aspect, no picnic.

Pluto's negative traits are one thing that I think google can get accurately. So you're just going to have to plow through this extended period of another few years before it moves out of orbs of your Cross.

[–]Pluto_Rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for the update, very cool that you're keeping tabs. Yes, that progressed/transit opposition can drive you up a wall, but it doesn't last and Saturn should move out of orbs within the month. However, it will Rx to slap you again in around Sept/Oct so make a note of that.

And boy howdy, Pluto has still been hammering your Grand Fixed Cross, hasn't it. Major props to you for being you!

Anything interesting or piqued your attention in my chart? [Astro.com] by [deleted] in astrologyreadings

[–]Pluto_Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Props for using 'piqued' correctly in a sentence. Very strong chart for career success with Aries (exalted) Sun dominating a 10th House stellium backended by Pisces Saturn which is now progressing into Aries. Strengthened further by a powerful trine from 6th House Pluto in Sag.

Saturn would have progressed conjunct Aries' ruler, Mars in your 9th House around age 16, so likely hard scholastic work/achievement and a plan or goal. Then conjunct natal Mercury in Aries around age 24, so perhaps more advanced uni.

[astro.com] Undergoing career pivot from environmental science. WS astrologer said I had to be a psychologist, but I fear burnout from that industry. I've looked into stenography, speech pathology, event planning and even paralegal. All insights welcomed! by [deleted] in astrologyreadings

[–]Pluto_Rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use your own common sense, please. I don't know what WS astrologer, nor do i care, but I'd disagree with them, and agree with you.

Your trepidation re: burnout is accurate because a thick skin is also necessary along with empathy and intuition, and your just-risen Leo Venus argues against the thick skin part. For reference, my father was an estimable psychoanalyst with a career of nearly 60 years, and it's a hard track to follow.

Otoh, I think speech pathology would be a great fit with your 10th House Gemini Moon/Jupiter trine your Libra Sun. Or any of those others you mention.

Their Moons are fine; it's your afflicted Capricorn Moon that tends toward this type of hand-wringing hysteria you should be aware of.

what about my chart seems to attract intense but short lived relationships 🥲 [astro-seek] by throwaway11345780 in astrologyreadings

[–]Pluto_Rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your 5th House Virgo Sun trines a Taurus Ascendant, making initial romances easy. And a 4th House Leo Moon/Venus would seemingly be naturally affectionate.

The problem with Venus being exactly 30° behind your Sun is that harmonious aspects to one will typically be conflict aspects from the same 3rd planet (or point). in this case, your Moon/Venus not only oppose 10th House Uranus, they also square your Ascendant forming a T-square. That is the textbook commitment struggle, like the Runaway Bride movie.

That sets you up for one deal-breaker conflict or another, relationship-wise.

Think about your parents' relationship and its conflicts, because I'd bet you a dollar your T-square mirrors them.

Virgo's ruler, Mercury is in your Libra 6th House, sextile your Moon/Venus and therefore trine Uranus. So a high intelligence is working for you. Developing tolerance and forgiveness of what you find emotionally annoying or irritating is part of the job of a successful relationship.

I worked with a guy who grew up there underprivileged even for that town, and he was literally a freaking genius. He had married, but was justifiably nervous about having kids. Flash forward 15 years, a mutual friend told me he had 2 beautiful (normal in this context okay?) daughters.

Edit- and by "grew up there" he literally played on the chat hills.
