is there an astrologer that can take a quick look at the aspects in my chart?

Question

I am not sure how to read this at all, i would really appreciate a quick read through on what cancels what out and what the different aspects mean.. what does retrograde mean and the higher the number the more predominate it will be? ECT. ALSO i have A LOT of aspects it seems, a lot of the charts i have looked at only have about 8 or so, i have a long list.. what does that mean?

thank you!!

Answer 1

Quick? LOL... that's a lotta questions for "quick."



Let me answer generically:

First of all, professional astrologers prefer charts, not lists. We are used to reading them that way



Your first list has planet & house side by side, but there is no reason to list them like that..



So, your Mars, for example is at 6º Aquarius 35' and next to it, is says your 5th house cusp is at 10º Libra 35'



Regarding planets, the higher number does not mean "better" or "worse." Those numbers are kind of like the planet's address in the sky... kind of like they way we use longitude & latitude on the earth to locate things.



Retrograde means, from the point of view of the earth, at the moment of your birth, a planet looked like it was backing up. We know it wasn't, but it adds a little extra meaning to the inner planets when they are retro in a natal chart.



You have a lot of aspects because you have several conjunctions, which means 2 or more planets are roughly in the same place... so as an example, you have Sun conj Moon & Mercury. So ANY aspect your Sun makes otherwise (like a trine or square or whatever) the Moon & Mercury will also make.



As for the numbers following the aspects, that is called the orb. It shows how close they are to an EXACT aspect (which would be 0º)... in THIS case, the higher that number is, the weaker the aspect is. Most astrologers use a 7º orb for the major aspects, and smaller for the lesser aspects. As an example, it says your Moon is conj Jupiter, but the orb is 9º 17' and I would not take that as an aspect.



And boyoboy you sure have Sun & Moon & Mercury conjunct in Aries! You want it all, now!



Maybe someone else might offer more comments, but keep in mind, professional astrologers get paid to do a complete reading...

Answer 2

Here's a nice little site that shows you, in motion, what "retrograde" is.

http://www.lasalle.edu/~smithsc/Astronomy/retrograd.html

As for the interpretation of it ... that is pretty minor and really not something that you get to until you've examined other things. Retrograde motion means that you do not as easily express that need outwardly ... that you sit back and digest it first. Really, it's only the Mercury Retrograde that makes any noticeable difference in a chart, and you don't have that.



Your retrograde planets are all outer planets. Since you share these positions with everyone in your age group, they are more generational than personal. They do affect you personally through their house positions, and through the aspects they may make with your personal planets (Sun through to/including Mars). But the retrograde nature of them is more about your generation than you personally. And the same thing applies to outer-planet aspects with outer-planets (such as Uranus conjunct Neptune, Saturn conjunct Neptune, etc) ... but NOT to aspects involving YOUR specific Ascendant and Midheaven.



As far as the number of aspects in your chart, you do not have more than the average number of aspects.

Yes, its complex. Astrology IS ... but then so it human nature, and the chart indicates the influences of a person, on their human nature.



I would recommend two books for you:

1. "The Astrologer's Handbook" by Sakoian and Acker. This is a paperback and inexpensive, but very good, for signs, houses, and aspects. It gives you interpretations for all of these, but it's only failure is that it focuses on external behaviors, and astrology just isn't all that good at predicting that.

2. "Planets in Aspect" by Robert Pelletier shows you the in-depth way that astrologers deal with the aspects. It gives you interpretations for all the aspects ... looking at the underlying needs, which provides great insight and understanding into your needs ... but it only writes about the aspects.



Planets represent different inner needs.

Their sign shows the general style.

Their house shows where, in your life, you look to try to meet those needs.

The aspects show how one need interacts with another need .. do they support each other and create internal harmony? Do they contradict each other, such that when you meet one need it makes it harder to meet the other need ... creating inner stress and often poor choices?

We are all a mix of both types of aspects, and our solution lies in clearly seeing and understanding all our various needs, and then in finding constructive ways to try to meet all needs.

I in user-friendly terms communicate with regard to the main serious ones, those i've got self belief are maximum widespread. Then, if the asker especially likes, i will project there to boot, in the event that they choose to be attentive to rather each little thing. yet regrettably adequate, they many times do no longer :(
