Could Neptune be my dominant planet?

[Silversong]

Could anyone help me work out if Neptune might be a dominant planet for me, even if I don't know my Rising Sign yet?

By the way, the Pullen Chart function on Astro.com doesn't really make any sense to me so it doesn't really help. Sorry...

When I try to look at the primary influences on my chart after my Sun and Moon, by aspect, I would say that Mars and Neptune tie for third. Aside from Mars opposite Neptune, Mars squares Mercury, sextiles Sun, trines Moon, and trines Pluto. Neptune trines Sun, sextiles Moon, squares Mercury (as well), conjuncts Uranus, and sextiles Pluto. However, I wonder if the scale tips toward Neptune since Mars is in Cancer. But then again, Neptune is in Capricorn. I'm not sure how seriously I take dignities and debilities past understanding that some sign's energies work better with a given planet than others, though.


I hope my rambling makes sense! I'm trying to figure out if I am more Neptunian than Martian because I feel pretty Neptunian, especially when it comes to the square it has with Mercury. I forget things pretty easily, I can lose my train of thought mid sentence, and I am easily distracted (which I don't help by often having a bunch of things going on around me at once).

On the other hand, I am not all that fiery or much of a go-getter. I'm not even as aware of the effects of my Mars' square to Mercury. Though, I can access my Mars energy if I want to, I'm just not there by default as it feels like with Neptune.

What do you think? Is there a way for me to know at this stage? Is it even possible for me to feel Neptunian when it's an outer planet? Am I going about all this incorrectly, even?

hmm well the dominance thing is entirely multifaceted from different angles.

For example declination, highest planet in the sky when born. This might have to do with a certain function of appearance.

Possible Sun conjunction, sextile, or opposite. The conjunction to Sun would obviously be right there even if another planet is "dominant in the works".

Chart Shape Point - if the chart looks like kite and something is funneling in to the apex, then it could be a reoccuring proginator in the persons life.

Essential dignities - ruler of planet in same sign as well as house dignities

Planetary concentrations - instead of a specific planetary point, the energy is channeled to a specific sign/modality/element

Chart Dipositer - a hierarchical chain of command methods

etc


so if we philosophically ask. "what is the most important segment of my chart?" it would be hard to define in an absolute generality, but easier in more specific contexts.

if we just ask "what is my most dominant planet" that would be easier to define.

Hi gen6k!

Hmm, I forgot how easily these sorts of questions can lead to many more questions. I suppose, since I don't know exactly which framework I would consider the most important or influential, I probably won't be able to solve my own question. Aw, well. It was worth discussing, though!

Thanks for breaking things down for me!

But then again, how could I go about deciding which of the guidelines you proposed would be the most important? I guess that's a matter of personal perspective, huh?
