The closest of any factor to one or more of the following, As, Mc, Ds, Ic is Neptune which is nine degrees from Ic, but Mars is also ten degrees from Ascendant, and the two planets are square one another. This suggests that the chart is ruled by Mars/Neptune square. However, it could be argued that Venus-trine-Mars is a chart ruler, too. Certainly, Mars trined to Venus is outstanding and helpful and will be considered as we proceed.
Wide separations of nine degrees for Neptune/Ic and ten degrees for Mars/As brings questions about alternative rulers. The Midheaven is at the midpoint of Sun and Venus. This latter combines the importance of Mc with Sun as we search for the chart ruler.
This is not a very difficult decision. We could start with Mars/Neptune, Mars/Venus or Ic = Sun/Venus, and we must visit them all at some point in chart interpretation. They are all vying for chart rulership which is to our advantage because that symbolizes a treasure of information to the chart interpreter. It is merely academic where the interpreter must begin among these alternatives, but these indications "rule" the chart because they define the leading characteristics of the life and personality of the native.
Let us start with the situation where the Ic/Mc axis is found at the Sun/Venus midpoint.
Martin Seymour-Smith in his book, "The New Astrologer", in the section called "Two-planet principles" says of the pair Sun/Venus:
"lazy; priapic -- grunts in the fantastic sensual sty while mouthed by adored adorers; good manners; may tend to want to break into dance, thus restless; graceful; sybaritic/a charming mover in flash suits; wants wealth and enjoys ease."
This is a quite descriptive of Britney Spears and her life. She is a charming mover in flash suits, and she tends to break into dance. She enjoys wealth and ease. She is graceful as demonstrated when she dances.
The dominant factor of Mars-square-Neptune is suggested by Martin Seymour-Smith as:
" may be alcoholic or a drug-taker/likes harmless pills; very dramatic/histrionic; lies like truth; actor; surrounds self with aura of mystery; poetic; suffers nightmares when waking and sleeping; enigmatic; an exciting person; weak in face of life's demands; confused but often inspired; obsessive."
Spears lost much of her freedom when a conservatorship was appointed to handle her affairs and limit what she had to say about it. This happened as result of her substance abuse (Mars/Neptune) and her reckless seizing of her children in defiance of a court order (Mars/Ascendant) and her weakness in the face of life's demands (Mars/Neptune). She had been a frequent inmate at various rehab centers (Mars/Neptune prominent).
It has been noted that when a planet aspects a stellium, or a member of a stellium, all members are similarly aspected by the planet. This is helpful to chart interpretation. A similar characteristic can be seen with midpoint pictures that consist of a stellium in the picture.
As mentioned, Mc/Ic = Sun/Venus, and Sun belongs to a stellium, so Mercury/Venus with Ic/Mc at the midpoint is also important due to the spreading effect of the Uranus/Mercury/Sun stellium. Mercury/Venus = Ic/Mc shows that Britney is a singer, musician and artist. Along the same lines, Ic/Mc=Venus/Uranus so we see why Britney is a recording artist. She is also anti-puritanical and likes to enjoy life.
Jupiter trine Mc suggests success with praises and honors and prizes. Spears has won her considerable amount of awards and riches (Juptier in Second House trining Mc).
Venus trines the angular Mars. Britney is hot. She projects sexuality and animal magnetism. She has the power to dazzle, inflame and arouse. This tends toward dancing, playing instruments and arts/crafts. She prefers when romance is not timid (this is reinforced by Ve/Ur=Ic previously mentioned).
Britney Spears has a close square of Venus and Pluto, and to further amplify the square, Sun is at the midpoint. Spears is lascivious, and this is what prompts her to expose her breasts in publicly distributed selfies. She is fanatical about the erotic and the romantic. She may search for partners in the gutters of life. Power struggles mar her love life.
The stellium Uranus/Mercury/Sun suggests an occultist or astrologer. She may have some interests in physics or engineering. The stellium Saturn/Pluto/Jupiter suggests an occultist as well.
Spears recently won her court case to be free of the conservatorship that bound her to their appraisals. She is free now of her father and his conservatorhsip. t.Pluto conjuncts n.Venus which prompted Spears to publish selfies that showed her exposing her breasts. t.Uranus recently squared n.Moon which prompted her push for freedom. t.Neptune is opposed to Mars, so she will celebrate without sobriety. She was obsessed about the action and it is lucky that she won her case. We will see how she won when we examine the solar arc directions.
Solar arc Mars was conjunct Jupiter as she won her case. This suggests victory and the righteous anger that motivated her. sa.Jupiter is conjunct n.Sun. Joy and optimism. sa.Pluto conjuncts Mercury as she wins. She was convincing and powerful in her testimony. sa.Saturn conjuncted n.Uranus as she won. It was not a slam dunk. It was extremely stressful and tense. The pros and the cons in the case were both very strong. A rift may form between Spears and certain other parties as a result.
