I looked at the planetary rulers for your chart. I’ll share the key ones I identified and some thoughts about how those energies work together in your natal chart.
Your chart was pretty fascinating to me. There’s like two distinct levels of activity that I’m going to try my best to capture. Lot of “what should be true and what is actual†not being one is the same, which is pretty fitting for someone with such an active Neptune.
Ok, first, theory. Planets in an astrological chart are essentially “actorsâ€. If your whole natal chart is the movie going on inside your head, then planets are the players in that drama. The signs tell you roughly the kind of character that actor is playing, and the houses tells you the setting for the action of the film. Aspects are the dynamics between the characters.
The four most dominant planets that I identified in your chart are (in rough order of significance) the Sun, Neptune, Pluto and the Moon. You have a fairly well dignified Jupiter that comes in fifth, but it’s an order of magnitude less important than the other four. Additionally, you have a very tight conjunction in 8th house Pisces between your Sun and Moon, so they essentially function together. That leaves basically three basic themes operating in the chart: the point of self (Sun/Moon), the point where self dissolves into something it understands as greater (Neptune), and the point of transformation (Pluto).
So let’s get into the levels.
Because you have a number of prominent placements in Pisces (Sun, Moon and Mercury), there’s a knee jerk impulse to say that Pisces’ planetary ruler Neptune would very obviously be the planet calling the shots in the chart, which isn’t exactly what’s happening here. In astrology, Neptune
is associated with “intuition and spiritual enlightenment. As well, it is a planet of mercy and compassion.†That gets at some of what Neptune is about, but a somewhat
better description is this:
Many of the themes in the passage above are going to be key in your life. You’re more than likely innately idealistic and dreamy. You tend to just
know things at times. There is a strong feeling in you that you belong to something more. That you’re always connected to something beyond, more beautiful and simply greater than yourself. That thing—however you understand it—is something in which everyone participates. Your Sun/Moon conjunction in Pisces implies that you try to embody these things personally, or use your self-expression as a way to communicate to others these feelings you experience so deeply.
The downside to this energy is that you feel “stuck†here on earth a lot of the time. You likely deal with the
belle angoisse that many artist describe: a deep seated feeling of longing for something that you can’t define, a constant feeling of lack and abandonment that sometimes manifests as a sudden depression and a desire to disappear into yourself. This feeling of lack drives a lot of your creativity, but also makes you feel isolated, misunderstood and unsupported even if, rationally, you know there is no reason for those feelings.
All of these are fairly common experiences for a native with a prominent Neptune placement. What complicates these experiences for you is the role that Pluto plays in your chart.
Running through the middle of your chart is a tug of war between what I’ll call “love†on the one side and “duty†on the other. A natal chart is defined by two sets of opposing points: the Ascendant and Descendent (self and other) and the Imum Coeli [IC] and Midheaven [MC] (past and future self). The tug of war I was referring to is one between the latter of these two opposites—the MC/IC axis.
On the “love" side, you have your 9th house Venus in Aries. This is a very passionate, expressive placement for Venus. It indicates that you feel the most valuable thing in this life is the ability to live authentically. To be true to your core self. This desire has a supportive relationship with the Neptunian energy I described earlier. Your feeling of connection with something greater is a key part of your identity, and your ability to express it feels like what you’re called to do. You feel you’re making your most valuable contribution to society when your creativity inspires others to be truer to themselves, as well. You aspire towards roles that allow you to perform in this way.
Opposing this ideal of your best self is a very heavy sense of duty and obligation arising from somewhere in your past. Pluto and Saturn both sitting on the point where your upbringing and heritage enters into your chart implies that you had either a very rough childhood, or a very constrictive one. Maybe a highly conservative household with a very imposing father or father figure who was probably pretty brutal on someone as sensitive and artistic as yourself. Even if you’ve found a way to physically distance yourself from that past, you still carry it with you in the form of an internalized negative voice about what constitutes “real workâ€, undercutting the kind of creativity that you know you’re meant for.
This finally gets us to the business of “levels†I mentioned at the top of this post. In addition to kind of being a part of the “bad cop†side of your MC/IC tug of war, Pluto also has some say in terms of how the expression of your Sun/Moon conjunction plays out. That conjunction, even though it’s in a sign ruled by Neptune, is in a house ruled by Pluto. That means that although Neptune is going to influence many of the drives and motivations that are core to how you define “self", Pluto is driving where and how those themes will most commonly emerge for you.
Pluto "is associated with renewal and rebirth. It represents endings and new beginnings, as well as spiritual growth and rebirth. Negative expression of Pluto is an obsessive desire for power and control and general destructiveness" Pluto’s main purpose in a chart is to show what drives our soul most directly towards growth, specifically through conflict. Pluto wants to know what do you desire enough to die for. Because what you desire and the trials you’re willing to endure to have that thing are the path to evolution in the Plutonian conception. Here’s a
quote on Sun/Pluto interaction that feels relevant:
This dance that Pluto and Neptune do in terms of influence is the key to resolving the tug of war. This conflict between what you truly want and what you feel is expected or proper for you,
does not exist if you grow to accommodate that “greater thing†you feel connected to. What you create cannot simply be about what pleases you, but should be something that requires you to evolve personally. When you are willing to set aside your ego and just be a “vessel†for truth, love and beauty, you’ll find that there will be less of a sense of inner conflict. You’ll have the strength and security to be yourself without doubt or resentment.
And thank you, I will def take you up on that! (I know the shape of the chart is the same either way as I had a play with the different times on the astro site, which is interesting, but obvious when i think about it)
Ignore me.
I do appreciate your thoughts on Vedic astrology though, thanks for the insight!
