I don't know what it is but whenever Mercury goes Retrograde - which, unfortunately, is all too often - I find myself in a little slump. My Mars is in Virgo, so my drive feels lost. My Mercury is in Gemini, so my thoughts start to feel like they make less sense. My ASC. and MC. (Virgo and Gemini respectively) feel lessened. It's a strange phenomenon. My ruling sign is Gemini and my ruling planet is Mercury, so the Retrograde phase just drains my energy and makes me question everything.

Thanks so much for answering my questions, by the way!

EDIT: 32 pages and over 600 posts!

I feel like the Earth element is a little underrated. There's a lot of strength and determination within the three signs which consume it and it's all too often more accredited to the fire signs (for being outspokenly passionate) and to the water signs (for being emotionally attached to one cause), I feel.

My zero planets in the first house thing paired with a mutable ascendant has always proven to be extremely confusing.

This tea, though! The Cap Mars women clearly worked hard to get where they are, with plenty of struggles along the way.

The Taurus Mars women are very sensual. Not sure about Virgo Mars, though.

This is fascinating. Rihanna, who loves to have fun, be a goof, and travel has a Sag Mars. Azealia Banks, who has a very heated temper and shows a disregard for the feelings of others, has her Mars in fiery Leo, conjunct expansive Jupiter, and opposite teaching, lesson-giving, karmic Saturn.

I'm sorry.

This Mercury retrograde approaching my sun is really making me question who I am and what I'm doing in life right now, along with making it difficult for me to think clearly.

And you're completely right about the Earth signs. When I first started learning astrology, Earth was easily my least favorite element. It's still not my favorite, but it simply doesn't get enough credit.

If astrotheme's birth time for Azealia is right, she has Sun in the 1st, Mercury in the 12th, Mars in the 3rd, and Saturn retrograde in the 10th. All are looking so true.

@ everything said here.

The sad reality is that Earth influenced people are rarely lucky. We have to work hard for everything we have and find ourselves going the extra mile to attain the smallest bit of credit. I feel like it's because we're not interested in assuming the role of the protagonist and are normally first to do the dirty work behind the scenes.

My Sun in Cancer finds itself coming out of its shell — literally — every once in a while, but I feel like I've just become emotionally unresponsive all of a sudden. My Venusian moon (Libra moon in the 2nd house) is more likely to shed a tear at a heart wrenching melody/song lyric or a tragic scene in a movie than something more personal. It's weird because I used to feel supper watery (granted, Water still trumps Air by a little bit in ruling elements).

BTW, I will write a report on your chart someday! Mercury retrograde is just getting in the way of everything lately but I know what I'm going to base it on and I will say this: Do you feel like your Scorpio MC is something of a burden in the age of social media? An age in which everyone is revealing every menial detail of their lives on the Internet? In a society which hails Kim Kardashian and has made her one of the most famous women in modern pop culture? Capricorn ASC. is a natural social climber but Scorpio MC. isn't necessarily willing to compromise just to please? Maybe I'm going off on a tangent but this is just my view. I hope I made sense.

EDIT: Holy ****. My Gemini MC is truly prominent with posts like this.

It's 100% correct! She herself tweeted her natal chart.

Is your Sun squaring your Moon?

I appreciate it! Feel free to not even start until mercury retrograde is over.

I won't say my Scorpio MC is a burden, it's more so out of place in the modern age. Actually, it's only really at odds with social media. Otherwise, I think Scorpio MC is perfectly capable of functioning well out in society and in the public eye, as long as we can maintain a sense of privacy and secrecy. Also, when you get a chance, I'd be great if you could put some focus on my Neptune/Uranus/Sun/Jupiter, and my intercepted Venus and Mars. I feel like my planets play a much better role in who I am inside, as opposed to my ASC and MC.

What, when!? Does she like astrology? Little does she know, by doing that, she exposed who she really is and why she acts the way she does to every astrology buff out there who knows her.

I was looking at it and I was like holy **** this is so her!

Ugh, and the stories of her domestic turmoil/violent relationships with Mars on her IC and Pluto in her 6th? **** just got real.

Idek probably because i may come off bitchy to them
My MC is in Scorpio.

My Mars is in Capricorn!

Thanks! My astrotheme birth chart says my Sun is in House I.

@AMENHOOKER

Here's my main chart (I think lol):

Sun: Capricorn
Moon: Libra
Mercury: Capricorn
Venus: Aquarius
Mars: Libra:
Jupiter: Pisces
Saturn: Aries
Uranus: Aquarius
Neptune: Aquarius
Pluto: Sagittarius

ASC: Aquarius
Midheaven: Sagittarius

--

Aquarius her DOMINATION A lot of this is air dominated, am I correct?

Here's my birth chart.

I did some research as it turns out

Sun Aries
Moon Capricorn
Mercury Aries
Venus Pisces
Mars Taurus
Jupiter Pisces
Saturn Aries
Uranus Aquarius
Neptune Aquarius
Pluto Sagittarius
Lilith Libra
Asc node Virgo

Omg we literally have the same placements except for the moon

Were you born on April 17th 1998?

Noo, april 19th

So, in a nut shell, the personal planets represent...

Sun = Ego.
Moon = Emotions.
Mercury = Communication.
Venus = Love.
Mars = Drive/Sex.

But how does one make sense of transpersonal and impersonal planets on a personal level?

Jupiter = ???
Saturn = ???
Uranus = ???
Neptune = ???
Pluto = ???

Yes. 5 planets in Air plus ASC.

You have an Aquarius stellium, which is even more amplified in your chart as your ruling planet (Uranus) is at home in Aquarius and conjunct your Aquarius ascendant. This is an important planet/sign for you.

I read somewhere online that Uranus has a nervous temperament.
Do you get nervous often?

This seems to be a nice summary:

Just seeing this now @AMENHOOKER so it makes sense! Thanks for the feedback, it's nice to know these things.

And yes, I'm a very nervous person but can also be extremely confident in certain situations (perhaps that's just my hard exterior as a Capricorn ).

So are all those things that Uranus represents/rules alikened to me and my characteristics/interests? Or what does it mean?

Mercury also rules your mind. Venus also rules your relationships, whether they be material or interpersonal.

Jupiter = Luck/Expansion
Saturn = Lessons/Restriction
Uranus = Individuality/Revolution/Change
Neptune = Subconscious/Spirituality/Dreams
Pluto = Transformation/The underworld
