My personal and business relationships

[cskhee2]

Hi, I am seeking for an answer to my personal, familial and business relationships. I was really doubtful about how my relationships could affect my life. I came to a realization that LACK OF TRUST is the key to many of my "so-called bad relationships" (could be my self-imagination). Thus, I went to my natal chart for some hints and answers, however, I am still stuck. My question is that is there any means that I could gain some trust, thus, improves my role in these relationships?

Thanks!

p/s: Here's what I understand about my chart that might caused me to have low trust to other people:
================================================== ===========================
* Sun conjunct Mercury - low mental ability (combustion)
* Stellium in Sagittarius - Not reliable (in terms of consistency of work)
* Stellium in Scorpio - deep passion about sex and occult (which could be my
hobby but not my career directions)
* Sun conjunct Uranus (both in Sagittarius) - ADHD problem (cannot focus)
* Less aspects on my Mercury - low emphases in my communications, lack of
strong communication ability or expression problem
* Hard aspects in many areas of my chart - problems after problems
* Fifth house co-ruling my Ascendent - too playful and over creative

For technical purposes, in Western astrology, most ancient and medieval authorities considered a planet combust or burnt when its position was within 5-8 degrees on either side of the Sun

I use Equal House system and am a modern astrologer. Lots of people that come into Astrology get their free charts calculated at www.astro.com and the default ‘house system’ used is Placidus and think that’s just the norm and all that there is……..BUT that is just the tip of the iceberg. You can change the default on astro.com in Extended Chart selection to Equal house and a few more.

Throughout the forums but mainly in natal astrology there are two main branches Placidus (unequal size houses) v Equal House (whereby each house is same size) but lots more……. For more information on these go here.

It's only with study and research will you be able to assess where your planets are deposited and in which houses... thus see which 'glove fits'

When a sun sign is conjunct a heavyweight planet from Saturn onwards, ie: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, that sun person automatically becomes and honorary Saturian, Uranian, Neptunian and Plutonian cos the contact with very strong

Now with your sun combust Uranus in my book that makes you more Aquarius/Uranus type personality and probably a bit eccentric to. My father had this plus like you mercury conj and he was an engineer, but loved maths and taught in Adult Educ. A brilliant mind but when uranus is wired to mercury it gives you flashes of inspiration, ideas very quickly --- but it's whether you can ground and do something, anything with these flashes of intuitive mind blowing thoughts, ideas.

* Sun conjunct Mercury - low mental ability (combustion) I disagree cos mercury is conj uranus to
* Stellium in Sagittarius - Not reliable (in terms of consistency of work)
* Stellium in Scorpio - deep passion about sex and occult (which could be my hobby but not my career directions) you do not have a stellium in scorpio -- stellium have to minimum 3planets with 8'orb of each other
* Sun conjunct Uranus (both in Sagittarius) - ADHD problem (cannot focus)
You will not have a passive nature, or acquiesce easily in what is required of you by parents, school, religion or the state-aproved ways of social living; but you will be a passionate rebellious spirit rejecting, questioning or opposing those pressures with which you disagree or which you believe are intending to hinder your freedom.

* Less aspects on my Mercury - low emphases in my communications, lack of strong communication ability or expression problem -- your mercury is well aspected other than conj uranus
* Hard aspects in many areas of my chart - problems after problems everyone has hard aspects and problems in their lives, anyone saying to the contrary is lying in my book
* Fifth house co-ruling my Ascendent - too playful and over creative

Your exalted mars in Capricorn is a 'singleton' ie: only planet in earth

(There is a book out by Shirley Lyons Meier, "Elemental Voids, More than Meets the Eye", which gives a good discussion of missing elements.) The Inferior Function can be a source of great motivation and creative expression.

The sun ruling your 5th house of romance and placed in 8th suggests you need and want something deeply transformational in relationships. But having Saturn conj pluto in 7th house of marriage suggests these things may be delayed until after your first saturn return.

Saturn, pluto is square mars suggesting stop/go situations and frustrations in relationships and square to pluto suggests strong ego/sexual drive but may either 'give out or attract to' violence. Plus this conj can suggest someone who can be ruthless, ruthlessly ambitious. Moon squ mars suggests a bossy mother.

Saturn ruling MC and placed in 7th can suggest business with partner or business partnerships.

You also have venus conj uranus = divorce aspect, needing lots of freedom and independence within relationships. All planets above horizon suggests it may be difficult to relate on one to one basis. Mars your chart ruler is conj MC and square Asc suggesting you may come accross as too forceful and blunt and almost pushing on occasions.

Your progressed sun age 26 has now progressed into Capricorn which should help ground those fly by night saggi expressions.

Hope this helps

Hi there CSKHEE2,

Looking at your chart I see your ascendant ruler, Mars in h10 square both Pluto and the moon. This alone could cause some difficulties in your worklife and also your relationships generally.
Mars is the most elevated planet in your chart.It's exalted in Capricorn and sextile to Jupiter which is a very positive aspect.This good aspect can be utilised. Mars rules your first house, and your eighth so your chart ruler is basically in charge of those eighth house planets.
The moon in Aries, on your ascendant is actually separating from your eighth house stellium...hey-that's a lot of fire you have there! And in the house of shared resources, pretty much unaspected considering the moon's separating aspects.
I think you've accurately pinned down some of the trouble spots though.
* Sun conjunct Mercury - low mental ability (combustion)

Well, you have Uranus in between the sun and Mercury-I think this could give you a great deal of ingenuity.
Your third house, ruled by mercury contains the north node, a very helpful and fortunate placement.Clarity of thought could sometimes be a struggle though with the sun and merc involved. You would need to be very careful with risk taking as the sun and mercury also rule your fifth house of pleasure, children, creativity, but when the rulers of the fifth are in the eighth you can profit from the activities of the fifth house. Gambling for you though would be a bad idea.
* Stellium in Sagittarius - Not reliable (in terms of consistency of work)
Sag energy can be utilised very effectively.It can give you a great need for travel, mental expansion, and great outdoor adventures!
Saturn rules your tenth house of work. Saturn is with Pluto in h7.Saturn is exalted in Libra, albeit at the anaretic (29th) degree. With Mars in your tenth there, you *should* be able to apply yourself to work. Mars in Cap is actually noted for its persevering nature.Even though you have the moon square to mars, this indicates you may not *feel* like work-but that bit's up to you..that's a decision you can make. Our chart does not dictate to us.Certainly the moon square Mars could make you a little impatient/moody at times, but given its strong placement, you should be able to utilise that strong martian energy for work purposes.The mars square to Pluto will give you a very strong nature and you need to be aware of the potential for combat with others because of that- power struggles, but Pluto is transformative so that too can be effectively used to transform your workplace and relationships.

* Stellium in Scorpio - deep passion about sex and occult (which could be my
hobby but not my career directions)
Scorpio is also about research and investigation.Sex, in Traditional astrology is more of a house 5 activity. You may indeed be very immersed in eighth house matters though. I'm sure you can get to the bottom of any mystery! Those planets in Scorp relate DIRECTLY to your work because Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Mars is in your tenth.(work).

* Sun conjunct Uranus (both in Sagittarius) - ADHD problem (cannot focus)
Yep-I've seen ADHD in the charts of those with sun/Uranus closely conjunct-It could make you erratic/ungrounded at times. Meditation, though difficult for you with these aspects, could be of great benefit though.I have a couple of friends with ADHD, and they have learnt to adjust using yoga, tai chi and other martial arts to discipline those wild energies that Uranus can bring.

* Less aspects on my Mercury - low emphases in my communications, lack of
strong communication ability or expression problem

Your Mercury is conjunct Venus, ruler of your seventh. That's nice.Musicians often have that I've noticed. Are you into music?
* Hard aspects in many areas of my chart - problems after problems
Squares aren't so bad. You don't have any oppositions.But yes, all that fire could be a bit overwhelming at times. My friend, I have seen many more difficult charts, belonging to *successful* people too.There are challenges there, but not insurmountable.
* Fifth house co-ruling my Ascendent - too playful and over creative

That could actually be a fun aspect to have if you channel it into a worthwhile creative activity.The moon also applies a trine to Neptune in h9-I'd imagine you are quite intuitive.That also indicates a need for foreign travel.
You'll be having a Saturn return in next 2 years...Thats a biggie. Having Saturn in h7, it could bring a serious relationship your way-but you will need to be very careful around work matters when it exacts as Saturn rules your tenth..

The main difficulty with stelliums is that every planet there gets hit bang bang bang by planets transiting through-this CAN cause upheaval.
Does your life get messy around Dec/Jan? If you have a difficult chart, you can use astrology to help you act at the best times and many problems can be bypassed.
Welcome here-hope you have a great time studying astrology with us.
Cheers
