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!

Aquarius Personals: You’re Not Broken!

Some of my best friends in this whole world are born with some placement in Aquarius. These people are wacky, fun and carefree with a sprinkle of realism so you know where you stand with them. You may have noticed a lot of stigma placed upon them, too though.

“Aquarius Moons have no feelings!”

“How do you even get real with Aquarius Moons?”

“Aquarius Risings are just cold!”

“Aquarius Venus people never want anything serious!”
Well, I think it’s about time someone talked up for them. So here’s a post on everything you’ve been overlooking about your dearest Aquarians.

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.

Manifestations: Developed and Undeveloped

Whilst the line between developed and undeveloped placements is sometimes blurred, it is undeniable that there are positive and negative manifestations of everything you can see within a chart. This post is a quick discussion of this concept and how it’s factors are not as clear cut as some may perceive.

Entwining Your Dominant Energies

I’ve noticed a lot of people seem to make the mistake of taking only the first dominant sign or planet, but your dominants works more as a rank than as one true thing.Everyone has every sign/planet/element/modality within them. Each sign will have some amount of prevalence in your chart. Whether it only sits on a house cusp, or is in a planet placement in your chart. Still, for this reason, it’s key to look at dominants as encompassing yourself, rather than defining yourself by one sign of planet.

For example, my dominant sign is Libra, but this would not be enough to understand or study me. I would also take my next two: Virgo and Sagittarius. Then, I could start to study these signs and their archetypes, and see how they can relate to me as a whole.

That’s the key to dominants: it is you as a whole. They work as a flash point, a conclusion, to your chart. I like to use the analogy of a blurb to a book. They’re the part of you which quickly gives as idea of the details to come. Each sign or planet has a certain set of values and characteristics, which when you combine with the other most prominent dominants you have, can act as almost a small biography of who you are.

Being Venus Dominant: Not Just a Lover

People with Venus dominance are known for their love. But Venus isn’t just about falling for someone! The Venus archetype is about everything beautiful: clothes, faces, hobbies, talents, people, music, etc.
