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

Mercury in the Modal Houses

Mercury is a personal fast-moving planet, never drifting more than a sign away from your Sun, which represents a vast array of mental processes and stimulants in our lives.

It can show us our thought process and methodical patterns we take when problem solving or working, as well as our relationships with our friends and siblings. Mercury as a planet is analytical and charismatic.

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!

Spanky: A Character Analysis

A great way to practice and explore astrological concepts and portrayals is to take characters from shows and attempt to give them placements! In this post, I will be discussing possible placements for Spanky from the 1994 edition of The Little Rascals.

Note: There is no right or wrong as he is a fictional character, so if you feel differently, you are absolutely right, too! Feel free to add comments and suggestions!

Was The Romantic Era Perfectly Timed?

In present day, the term ‘romantic’ connotes love, relationships and affections, but dating back to the middle of the 1800s, the term was picked up to describe an age of art and literature just passed which argued for nature and feelings as opposed to the industrialisation of the world and its people.

Broadly, the Romantic Era in Britain is laid out to be 1800 to 1850, works created in this time coming as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution which began circa 1760. However, the term ‘romanticism’ is known to specifically apply to works created between 1790 and 1820.

Why Do We Idealise Scorpio?

So this post opened up a question in my brain about how we perceive Scorpio and why we perceive it in such a way. I agree with this post thoroughly, we tend to overlook and forget the pain and paranoia linked to Scorpio and only consider the sexuality and deep trust (issues) of the sign.

But why is that?

The Stream of Doing Good

All signs aim to to good by others in some way, shape or form. Aries wants to inspire confidence in you, Gemini wants to be the one to talk you through your problems, and Capricorn wants to be a nurturing advisor. Amongst all the signs, however, there is a stream of signs who focus their energy on doing good by and for others. This stream lies from Cancer to Libra.

Analysing the Archer: Relationships

All signs have misconceptions about them, or exaggerated truths, but one sign which always grasps me as misunderstood is Sagittarius.

There’s no denying that Sagittarius is a go-getter, a traveller, a philosopher, a seeker, and a ball of fire. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, takes luck and growth within them wherever they go, jumping into every experience saying ‘well, if it goes wrong, I still have the memory’

So what’s not to understand? Sagittarius and relationships.
