I kind of felt the same myself. But I'm sure there is more to it than what I could glean from a quick google search. Possibly back in the day the people that did them had a lot more knowledge about astrology. I used Saturn as the planet signiifying the significant other, and at that point in time we have Mars Square Saturn and Saturn Square Neptune, which both point to limitations to do with internal conflicts. Saturn in sagittarius is also a three year transit that we are in right now which has to do with the broadening the mind in the greater field of the world. I think tarot is a far simpler and more accessible method for divining than astrology. But it also agrees with the bit of fiddling around I did. I think the two systems are quite compatible.
Historical novels and the occult, now that is a guilty pleasure.![]()
Most of the places I lurk such as Linda Land are free to read, no sign ins required (and I wouldn't give them my info anyway as their privacy policy is alarmingly invasive). Aeclectic Tarot's astrology subforum is also surprisingly informative (and I like their tarot stuff too).
My Saturn return is coming up soon. Meep.
Nothing to worry about if you can move on from issues easily.
The best thing about the thread is I can retroactively figure out peoples birthdays even if they don't list them.
"With the Sun positioned in the 10th house of your natal chart, you have agreed to apply the hard-earned expertise of your Sun sign to the ambitious pursuit of worldly success. This means that you must now use the powerful influence of your solar degree to become a powerful somebody in the outside world. Not to worry. With your political savvy, you know your powerful way around the inside track, which is ultimately a good thing because, officially, you’re here to establish your place in society by rising to a position of authority. No wonder you’re chronically compelled to impress the powers that be. You have a rendezvous with destiny to become one yourself, and you will, but only through the trials and tribulations of courageously calling the shots, respectfully running the show, and, oh yes, honorably following the rules, not manipulating them.
Accessing your maximum potential depends on your ability to demonstrate the responsible use of power, but not without first keeping your soul’s promise to devote your earthly elbow grease to the hard work of earning it. That explains why the cosmos expects you to shine with supremacy when it comes to all aspects of parental authority, professional status, and public leadership. It also explains why every one of your occupational achievements is sure to be the result of your own father’s recognition or, as is more often the cosmic case, motivated by the lack of it.
Either way, with your Sun committed to the global goldfish bowl of the 10th house, you’ll find that you just can’t avoid the spotlight of success whenever you’re out there really trying to earn it. Nor, for that matter, can you escape the white-hot notoriety of public scrutiny whenever you’re not trying. After all, you did come into a world that was universally prepared to expect great things of you, a world that, as far as you’re concerned, seems to be constantly waiting for you to accomplish something, while never letting you get away with anything. That’s because you were born at that time of day when the Sun was climbing to its highest point in the sky. A time when we only have to lift our eyes to see a brilliant star reach its most powerful peak. Evidently, the universe is expected no less from you.

Cool writeup, [MENTION=22014]violett[/MENTION]. Here's a link, describing the sun in the other houses.
Mine is in the tenth.
Bolded is particularly true. I always feel like people expect way too much of me and will never just leave me the fuck alone when all I want to do sometimes is drift through life. Alone.![]()
It's very interesting to study astrology with an open mind because certain aspects and intepretations of the natal chart can either deeply resonate with personal experience or show aspects which were not fully recognized. I've not spent a very much time exploring astrology or my natal chart with any degree of depth mainly due to my interest in the mbti and enneagram. But, reading this thread has ignited an interest. There are a great many books written on the subject so I'm sure I will find plenty of information to explore. Also, if my son wasn't such an obvious slap me in the face Aquarius, which dovetails rather nicely with his enneagram type I probably wouldn't have decided to delve into the topic. I also think Sun in the 12th house (the way it is interpreted and written by the author) seems to correlate and ring true with enneagram type 2. Thank you for sharing your Sun's placement and the way it resonated with you.
