Cheat Sheet: Signs Crushing

So, how do you know your crush likes you back!? Well, I have a little cheat sheet on how to tell…

Check Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars.

Angular Houses

When something sits in an Angular House, it is a direct aggregate of who you are or who you wish to become.

First House: How you see the world, what is worn on your sleeve, your initial actions and gut response to something, how you came into the world, your self

Fourth House: Your childhood, the home you grew up in, what you came from in life, your comforts, what home you may make one day, natural comforts and habits

Seventh House: Relationships, what you need in other people, traits you find attractive, the part of you you reject yet require, seeking balance

Tenth House: The image you wish to create for yourself, who you wish to become, what you idolise, your idea of success, your personal brand

• First – Seventh: Who I am and who I must become
• Fourth – Tenth: How I grew and how I’ll prosper

Cheat Sheet: Easy Placements

When you first learn about a placement, the obvious thing to do is look for descriptions, however these can be extremely unhelpful. Why? No description will ever fully encapsulate a placement. It will focus on one idea of it, or go straight to possible conclusions without explaining why those could be true.

Instead, I prefer to take the ‘anti-description’ route. When I start learning, I look to each part of the placement for its ingredients and build them together myself. In this way, you can see all the possible conclusions a placement may take.

With this in mind, I’ve compiled a cheat sheet of possible ingredients of each aggregate: signs, modalities, elements, planets, houses, and aspects!

How To Find Your Placements

Go here: (x).This is the most accurate site I have found to use. You’ll get a chart that looks like mine (x). Don’t be scared off by the technicality, I know it seems like a lot, but just start with the little steps until you get into it!

If you want to work out your dominant planet/sign/element mathematically, go here: (x). Then, hover over Free Horoscopes in the bar, and click the option Extended Chart Selection under Drawings And Calculations. Click guest user and input your information. After this you will see a box saying Method, and various types of chart. Click the last one – Pullen/Astrolog. In the drop down, click the last option of Simple Chart Delineation By Walter Pullen. Then, click the show chart button. It is very long and goes through a lot of your placements. If you scroll to the bottom, you will find details on what conjuncts in your chart and what it means, as well as sextiles, squares, etc. About two thirds of the way down you will find your signs, and the percentage of dominance.

You can find a really helpful video by Lara @astrology-addict here on how to use the site mentioned above!

Another way to find your dominants mathematically is to use laratesting.us – designed by @geministereo and coded by @astrology-addict – this method was created to put more emphasis on personal placements as the site above tends to give equal wait to generational planets, meaning a whole generation could have the same dominants by their system, but not in this one.

Attraction In Astrology: Exoteric And Esoteric Attraction Calculations

After receiving a lot of interest in my method of taking three signs and working out which sign they best embody and attract as a whole, I decided to put the workings into a post. But first, we have to understand where we may look within the houses for attraction.

In western astrology, each house shows us a different part of life. The houses in question in this post are:

The First House: This is the house of the self, the ego, and the confidence. It is what we project onto the world and how we navigate it.
The Fifth House: Representing our self expression and talents amongst other things, this is what people may view in us as positive and something to admire.
The Seventh House: This is the traditional house of relationships and our ways with one another. It shows how we are with our relationships.
The Eighth House: The house of shared resources, but also of deeper hidden investigation. It can have links to obsession due to it being Pluto’s home.
The Tenth House: In this case, we are talking about its links to public image. It can show us what people will immediately see of our persona.
The Eleventh House: Communities, groups and society are represented here. This house can show us how we navigate friend groups and communities.

These houses can show us what kind of signs or elements we tend to attract in our lives. For example, someone with Aries Rising (First House) and Leo Fifth House will definitely attract a lot of fire placements. If someone has a Cancer Midheaven (Tenth House) and Leo Eleventh House, whilst they may attract these two signs and elements, it may be not as simple to work out which specific other signs will be attracted. That’s where planetary rulers come in.

Attraction in Astrology: Sun, Moon, Rising and Stellia

After receiving many messages asking why certain signs were attracted to people and who they may attract based on their charts, I decided to turn the information into a whole post.

This is part one of my analysis and only focuses on the exoteric natal signs of placements within your chart.

The placements here are likely to draw in people of certain signs or planetary dominants. Usually, it will attract the Suns, Risings and dominants of these signs.

Below, in no particular order, are areas of your chart that may attract certain people or placements.

The Ascending Sign

What is it?

Your Rising, also known as Ascendant, is one of the most personal to you. This is the sign that changes the most, as it will go through all twelve signs within the 24 hours of a day.

Where is it? What does it control?

It marks the beginning of your 1st house, the house of self, and also dictates your chart’s ruling planet. This is different from your dominant planet, as your ruling planet is the one lying behind every aspect of your chart, whereas your dominant planet is the one taking charge of it all. For example, someone with Virgo Rising will have Mercury as their chart ruler as this is the planet which rules Virgo. Mercury signifies communication, work ethic, and speech. Someone with Mercury as their chart ruler may find it easier to explain themselves, or push themselves in work based situations. Obviously, this is not always strictly true as other areas of the chart may affect this. In this example, having Pluto – a planet of renewal and rebirth – in the 10th house – the house of work – may sway the Mercury ruler to be less able to push and stay driven in work based situations.

What does it show within me?

The Rising sign is like a public front. It can be regarded as the more personal version of your Sun sign, but it is in itself unique and important. It is what your friends see in you, it is what you put across within a group. It underpins you at parties, you chatting to your friend, or you answering a question in class.

How does it work with other placements?

It can often work alongside your Sun, or show how you may act in different situations. For example, you usually appear as your Rising, but then will appear like your Venus around your crush. For example, Leo Rising and Capricorn Venus. Leo Rising will usually appear loud, bold, magnetic, but with Capricorn Venus would switch to quiet, polite and a little bit mysterious around your crush. So, the Rising sign can often show your basic set aura or way of being (like the Sun sign).

Can it say something about what I look like?

It can! However, what you look like and your fashion sense also relies on other parts of your chart, namely: planets in the 1st house, venus, house of your venus, dominant sign and dominant planet. Your Rising can, however, depict what type of colours you like to wear, or maybe what kind of look or facial expression you seem to give off.
