I wouldn't throw wide orbs out....
Being as old and as old-fashioned as I am, I guess I don't qualify as a modern astrologer,
especially since I talk about detriments and bad aspects.
Are there not people in this world who, by any standards, seem to live a doomed life?
Doom. It sounds almost macabre. Don't you love the sound of Doom?
The Hindenburg and the Titanic were doomed. The astronauts aboard the Challenger were doomed. Charles Manson was doomed....
Why wouldn't an astrologer use the word doom? After all, there are horoscopes that say "You're in for a bumpy ride."
What is interesting about this chart is its structure.... but I won't go there.
But look at that inconjunct between Mars and Pluto. It contains all the planets apart from Jupiter Mars throws the aspect from the 7th House to the 12th, which we can say is co-ruled by both planets. It is true that Mercury rules the 7th House, but it is also true that Mars rules Mercury FROM the 7th House. The two planets are in mutual reception. A planet IN a house is the more active and immediately effective in general, and here the mutual reception, presence of Mars in the house of relationships (the "other", the "not-self") --- [a condition known in Hindu astrology as "mangal yoga" and considered highly unfortunate for marriage by them] and his hard aspects bring him to prominence (in my view.)
Venus is not the only planet in the sky that affects relationships. The Moon is always important in this regard. In this chart Moon is peregrine, in a cadent house, ruling the unfortunate 8th house, and most notably, in square to the powerful Pluto in the 12th. I would hesitate to say that the Moon is well-placed in this chart; she is in difficulty.
It is the Moon who most directly activates the quincunx between Mars and Pluto (by her trine to Mars and almost simultaneous and very damaging square to Pluto), and that aspect is within degree on its own account. These three planets describe a "psychological complex," and in this chart that complex produces difficulties. Using the anachronistic terminology of such geezers as I, it is bad. There is a war going on between the native and his mother and its effects are deep and painful. And this war will spill over into the area of marriage and other close relationships. A mother is a woman. This relationship thus affects all succeeding relationships with women, deeply colors attitudes toward them. The whole complex seems to me to indicate what I will characterize as buried rage. This leads to a species of emotional detachment. And the complex also includes sexual issues...note that Venus in the 5th is ruled by this Mars, tht Mars, Venus and Pluto are involved in a yod formation with Pluto at the apex (and Pluto in the self-defeating and sometimes self-destructive 12th) (even if it is considered a bit wide, the rulership of Venus by Mars connects them) -- the three planets most concerned with sex are involved in this disruptive formation, another "complex." Add to this the rulership of Moon over the sexual 8th.... Moreover, Moon is in her dying phase, coming to the New Moon, and this solilunar phase frequently indicates many rather short-lived but very intense relationships.
Gemini, which is a dual sign, is on the cusp of the 7th. This leads to a preliminary suspicion of "more than one marriage." Mars is in Gemini too. Mars flits from flower to flower, and he rules the detrimented Venus whose self-centered nature is not particularly amenable to cooperative relationships. We might note that the 5th house concerns what are primarily "illicit romantic affairs, outside of wedlock" and Mars, who rules Venus, is in the sign of Gemini (multiplicity).
There is very little in this chart to counter these fundamentally difficult relational dynamics.
You are doomed.
Now, being doomed, the question becomes..."What will I do about this?"
After all, when we come to the bottom line, it is you who causes it all.
But the causation is deeply unconscious and not under your control.
Which is to say, there isn't much you can do about it.
Have you ever ridden a roller-coaster? Once you buckle up, you are in it for the whole ride. It's scary, thrilling, stimulating. Might as well enjoy the ride.
