Generational Astrology In the Natal Chart: Decoding Family Secrets By Planet and House Placement
Followers of western astrology are aware of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) and the generational influences they contribute to the natal chart. Plutonic energy, for example, rules transformation and destruction but it also unites a specific segment of the population. People born during the same period of time share universal experiences through music, politics, current events, social change, and lifestyle trends. Therefore, each Pluto generation creates upheaval to patterns established by the previous generation and eventually their structure will be overturned by future Pluto generations.
Pluto’s influence in the natal chart is a generalized example of generational astrology. Many astrologers are knowledgeable about the impact of outer planets on generations of people but there is also an individual aspect to generational astrology that weaves through family interactions. The natal chart can be analyzed to reveal family secrets.
Astrologers often use the natal chart as a way to decode family dynamics and skeletons in the closet. Paying close attention to the placement of inner and outer planets as well as the houses representing family members and themes will provide clues to the chart holder’s family history. Aspects also need to be considered as sometimes challenging ones plague generations of families; i.e. Sun square Saturn, which could pinpoint a generational pattern of father/son self-esteem issues or inherited tendencies toward depression throughout a family lineage.
Inner planets in a natal chart will reveal family values throughout the generations as well as parents’ and grandparents’ identity roles relating to the chart holder. The Sun in the natal chart represents the parent’s ego and self-truth. The natal Moon placement indicates a parent’s prenatal attachment to the baby, their parenting styles and attitudes, and can even explain how the grandparents of the baby processed emotions during the parent’s childhood. Mercury placement in the natal chart represents extended family relationships and the family’s oral history. Venus indicates the family’s social background through different generations. Mars connotes family boundaries, anger, and sexual attitudes.
Outer planets are indicative of the family’s generational legacies regarding psychological health and behavioral choices. Jupiter will show a family’s propensity toward addiction as well as their religious practices.
The grandparents of the chart holder are exhibited by the chart holder’s Saturn placement. Uranus indicates the way the parents conducted their personal lives prior to conceiving the chart holder. Neptune in the natal chart evinces both physical health and behavioral health issues (particularly passed through the family). Pluto in the natal chart manifests as family survival.
Transforming And Healing Trauma Through Astrology
Trauma signatures in natal astrology are both generational and individual in nature. The placement of Uranus in natal astrology is one of the primary keys to unlocking an individual’s trauma signature. By way of example, I share Uranus in Scorpio with everyone else on planet Earth that was born in the approximate time bracket of the years 1975 through 1981 (aside from a brief period of Uranus in Libra in summer 1975 and a brief period of Uranus in Sagittarius in winter 1981), though the house placement varies tellingly by individual.
For the Uranus in Scorpio generation, our shared generational trauma relates to huge violations of trust and betrayal, large scale battles of will between people, power struggles in relationships, alternating periods of power versus powerlessness, challenges to our preexisting limitations, emotional and sexual abuse often in early childhood and a powerfully subconscious perceived lack of safety. When I take a mental scan of my friends and peers born under this Uranus in Scorpio transit, the proof is in the pudding.
I do not believe that we have these shared generational traumas as some kind of cosmic punitive measure. My personal belief is that individuals incarnate at specific points in time in order to work through, heal and transcend generational trauma, in addition to healing trauma that is more individual in nature. Once I have understood the Uranus generational placement in a person’s chart, I look at the house placement of Uranus. From there, other keys to understanding and constellating trauma in the natal chart include understanding the implications of any planets in the eleventh house, certain Virgo and Scorpio “crisis points,” planets and points in Aquarius, squares to the lunar nodes, planets conjuncting the lunar nodes, Antiscia shadow points, Sabian and Chandra symbols for key planets and points, and challenging aspects to Uranus, Pluto and the lunar nodes.
These keys to conscious awareness of the path to liberation can be identified in a single astrology session or the layers can be revealed and explored through multiple sessions. It is important to note that trauma is only one expression of what we hold in the recesses of our subconscious memories. The polarity point of trauma is a reconnection to our bodies and a recommitment to ourselves. The proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is unearthing a commitment to living with a genuine sense of joy, hope and childlike wonder. It is a process, but the rewards are life transforming.

The last years - or maybe let's say me whole life - hasn't exactly been a walk in the park. In these last months in 2020 (let's say starting from April-May or so) I've experienced quite a few traumatic experiences, on multiple domains in my life, but all relating to the notion I have of myself (and inner child), my parents, my family, ... my roots I think.
