Well, the rules have long since been lifted. So freedom has won out in the end after all=)

lg

Boundaries are necessary to truly understand and appreciate the value of freedom. Freedom without boundaries is not really freedom at all.

Hi waybread,
well, the uranus usually always has the upper hand in this constellation. Or rather, it will always free you from restrictive situations.

Uranus is raw mental energy and therefore usually stronger.

That's a matter of debate. I think a lot of modern astrologers would give Uranus more power. In a simple fulcrum-lever (see-saw, teeter-totter) type of model, the further away a planet is from the earth, the more gravity it exerts, sort of like a small child (cf. Pluto) further out on the see-saw able to balance a heavier child closer to the fulcrum. Then evolutionary astrologers envision a wonderful future of liberation, harmony, enlightenment, and so on; in which mean old Mr. Saturn is the barrier to be broken.

My view is, "not so fast." Saturn rules a lot of life's material reality. We wouldn't exist on the earth plane without it. For example, if you don't want to pay your rent and be constrained by financial issues, that could be Uranus. Saturn is the one who reminds you that, unless you want to be evicted, you should pay your rent whether you feel like it or not. Saturn runs a diagnostic on our life, sort of like a mechanic doing a check-up on your car. If something in our life needs adjustment or fixing, Saturn will show you what it is. Saturn rules self-discipline.

Saturn is domiciled in your chart, so it has a lot of strength.

The earth element is very strong in your chart, so you actually have the capacity for being "grounded" in material reality, whatever other ideas and visions you pursue.

Incidentally, I am a very Uranian person, with sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius; and sun trine my Uranus-MC conjunction.

Just a couple of other things: your north node in the 11th house suggests that your personal growth will come from your friends and associates. With your NN in Pisces and your 11th house ruled by Saturn (traditional) and Uranus (modern) I think your growth will come from learning acceptance (Pisces) of Uranian sorts of people. I note that Uranians are not necessarily eccentric: the sign rules science and things electronic in a general way, things futuristic, aviation, space travel, and psychology. So you might want to connect with a few engineers!

In addition to having the capacity for being very grounded, you also seem to have a mystical streak, with that wide Jupiter-Neptune trine involving your moon., and sun-Neptune quintile.

Hi waybread,
Thank you for your message.

But unfortunately you're not quite right. My financial situation is extremely volatile. sometimes I have money and then almost none at all.
My life has been subject to impressive financial ups and downs. I've had rent problems several times.

And the earth element. Astrology also takes into account the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) in the signs. But outer planets are not evaluated in the sign. Because they wander through a sign for many years, so to speak. They are rather evaluated in houses and with aspects, I have read.

Yes, I receive a lot of support from friends. I gained access to a new group of friends this year. We cosplay together. I think you know what cosplay means, right?

[ElenaJ]

what cosplay means

Please do explain.

 

[Marc1988]

Please do explain.

Very gladly. I met a new group of friends who I cosplay with. Cosplay means dressing up as a fictional character from a film, comic or manga and taking on the role of that character =) I've attached a picture from our last Helloween cosplay shoot so you can understand it. In this picture you see me and my friends =) lg

 

[ElenaJ]

So it's like "COStume PLAY"?

Marc, I can't speak to your personal situation.

I would add that earth signs tend to be pragmatic and material in orientation. Obviously there's more to your chart., and more to you a s a human being. Only Taurus is the fixed earth sign. Capricorn initiates and Virgo modifies and adapts. Gemini and Mercury involved in your second house can show a lot more volatility.

If astrology means anything, it shows that the idea of a unified internally consistent human being is a myth. Each of us operates more like an extended family or a committee. Squares and oppositions show where tensions between planets lie.

I see that you were born in Germany. I don't know how similar the German-speaking and English-speaking astrologer communities are. I think most anglophones would look at the outer planets in signs, perhaps as saying something about their generation

Are you saying astrological interpretation is a cultural thing?

 

[waybread]

Certainly much of it is. I've often wondered what is taught as astrology in non-anglophone countries.
