Mini Interpretation: Aquarius Sun in the First House

The presence of Sun in the First House puts a firm stamp onto your sense of self, making it important for you to feel proud of yourself and know who you are. You may find that you want to have a ‘brand’ for yourself and a signature you are known for. Because Sun is in Aquarius, it’s likely going to be something others haven’t done yet. This placement wants to be known for rocking flashy hair colours or new catchphrases way before anybody else.

The First House is what is considered a ‘good’ house for the Sun to be in because it aligns naturally to Aries, which is where the Sun is in exaltation. This can help counteract the detriment effect of Aquarius Sun, meaning this person is more likely to love and accept their quirky self faster than other Aquarius counterparts.

Sister House Axis

Sister houses in astrology have corresponding ideas that work in balance to each other.

• The first house is who I am, the seventh house is who I enjoy.
• The second house is all my things, the eighth house is all my thoughts.
• The third house is my study notes and texts, the ninth house is my essay and my scrapbook.
• The fourth house is what I bring to the family, the tenth house is what I bring to the world.
• The fifth house is what I bring to myself, the eleventh house is what I bring to my communities.
• The sixth house is my health and how I serve society, the twelfth house is my worries and how I withdraw from it.

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

Aries Uranus To Taurus Uranus: Admit Your Sins

Currently, we are at the transitioning cusp between Aries Uranus and Taurus Uranus. We saw a glimpse of Taurus Uranus earlier this year, before it went retrograde back into the fiery sign of Aries.

This changing period allows us to reflect on what we saw and what we want to see. From violent extremes to growing green pastures, I have hope for Taurus Uranus.

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!

A Masterlist: Sun, Moon, Houses I-IV

Now, people may groan when I say this, but astrology is all about learning and researching. With that in mind, we have to broaden our perspectives and knowledge outside of what we see on our social platforms. With that in mind, I’ve compiled this list of resources from elsewhere on the internet! These sites are well known and well respected for their knowledge, and make great reads no matter your level of astrology.

This probably won’t be the first masterlist I make on here. If you follow me on tumblr you know I already have one for informative tumblr posts and also a tag for the best tumblr resources I find. With that in mind, this post more or less covers all you need to know about the Sun, the Moon, and the general houses + specific posts on houses 1 through to 4.

With no further ado, here’s the masterlist.

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.

 

Eros in the Houses: Sexual Passion and Unmatchable Desire (NSFW)

The asteroid Eros relates to the god of sex and desire in Greek mythology, and thus in astrology comes to show us our own sexuality (habits and desires, not orientation). However, Eros isn’t just sexual (though this is one of it’s main representations), it is also desire and passion as a whole: Eros can show us what we’d do when consumed with love!

Whilst there is a lot of information out there about Eros in the signs, little is written about Eros in the houses, which is why this article is going to address exactly that. If you wish to learn about Eros in the signs, use the links above! Here is a calculator for your Eros sign, and to insert it into a natal chart, use Astro.com (guide here), simply type ‘433’ into the asteroid selection bar.

Pluto in the Houses: Transformation

We all know that Pluto is a generational planet and one of destructive, but that isn’t to say it doesn’t or couldn’t have positive personal meanings. It has deeper, growth-related meanings than just generational destruction. It stands for rebirth and renewal, at its utmost core! It’s what is ever-changing, if a little out of touch, for us. What I’m focusing on today is Pluto’s link to a transforming energy within us.

Scorpio is the sign of which it rules, and so naturally it’s a subconscious force, changing up and rebuilding us beneath what we can immediately relate to. Naturally sitting in the eighth house, it also has links to suffering and trauma, as we may already be aware. That can seem scary, but transformation of the deepest kind will almost inevitably be linked to some form of suffering on our own parts.

When Pluto is in retrograde, the effects are internalised, making outward effects less likely. For example, where someone with Pluto in the 5th may create transformative art and express themselves differently from month to month, someone with this same placement in retrograde can feel unable to do this. They may have the thoughts and want to create themselves over and over again, but outwardly expressing this becomes difficult. It’s likely that transformation of their self is not something they feel they can accomplish on the outside, but on the inside they are expanding into a new, revived version of themselves.

However, Pluto’s positive transformation relies on personal growth. What about when it hasn’t grown? Underdeveloped Pluto or planets under Plutonian aspect will be destructive outwardly. This can mean hurting those around them or things around them. A good example would be underdeveloped Pluto to Mars contacts being harsh, aggressive, or violent.

It stays in any sign from about 14 – 30 years, so obviously the sign it is in has less personal effect, but that doesn’t mean Pluto won’t be felt personally. The house and aspects to other placements is entirely based on the individual chart, and this post will be discussing Pluto within each house!

You can also check the house which your Pluto is currently transiting through, as this will show which area of life you’re undergoing transformation in.

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.
