Domicile of Saturn, it controls the lower legs, the skeletal system,
the lymphatic system and the immune system.
It causes blindness on account of the water.
It is like-empowered with Libra, like-ascending with Pisces
and like-engirding with Capricorn, short in the Northern Hemisphere and tall in the Southern Hemisphere.
It is wintry, cold and moist for the north
and summery, hot and dry for the south.
Aquarius obeys Aries for the north and commands it for the south.
Aquarius controls Sauromatica, Oxiana, Sogdiana, Arabia, Azania and Middle Ethiopia.
The left hand and the head are rising up to the 7th degree, the body and the right hand up to the 13th
the pitcher up to the 20th, the water up to the 25th
and the falling water up to the 30th.
The first 7° belong to Mercury - mastery, lovers of wisdom
The next 6° belong to Venus - friendships with great women

The moment I looked at Ed Gein's chart, I had to let out a laugh. Have you ever had a chart that just hit you in the face with it's major problem/"guiding principle"?
I have my Mars and Moon return today! What a comboMoon just ingressed Aries. Grrr8!
I'm not sure what you saw in his chart. Care to elaborate?The moment I looked at Ed Gein's chart, I had to let out a laugh. Have you ever had a chart that just hit you in the face with it's major problem/"guiding principle"?
My Mars is at 0 deg Virgo, closely conjunct the fixed star Regulus. Regulus is aggressive and like to move forward, but Virgo is slow and shy. What does this combination turn into?Right. Mars just ingressed Virgo. That's a good thing [IMO].
