Winter,You were asking about:
quote:
Ruler of chart is Mars in Leo in the 5th house, trine Asc in Aries, opposite Saturn in Aquarius (retrograde) in the 11th, square Jupiter in Taurus (retrograde) in the 2nd.
As mentioned, I do not pay attention to the ruler of the chart but instead use "keywords":
- Leo modifying Mars focused in 5th house trine Aries modifying Ascendant
- Leo modifying Mars focused in 5th house opposite Aquarius modifying retrograde Saturn in Aquarius focused in 11th
- Leo modifying Mars focused in 5th house square Taurus modifying retrograde Jupiter focused in the 2nd
So there are three aspects to:
- Leo (self-expression) modifying Mars (being, also action) focused in 5th house (self-expression)
This indicates there is a VERY active self-expression in this person. They may tend to take "dramatic" actions which:
- trine (energy goes easily with) Aries (being, also action) modifying Ascendant (self) - (notice the repeating of "action")
- opposite (energy is over-excited by) Aquarius (friends) modifying retrograde (strong energy) Saturn (duty, also restriction) focused in 11th (friends) - (notice the strong "friends" influeneces)
- square (energy needs to be combined with) Taurus (physical, also values) modifying retrograde (strong energy) Jupiter (expansion, also wisdom) focused in the 2nd (physical, also values) - (notice the strong "values" influences)
So from this we see that "action" is VERY strong, but this action may be checked by friends or other persons around them, which could somehow affect the ability of this person to take action on their values. Because of the retrogrades, overcoming their restrictions (retrograde Saturn) and learning about their values (retrograde Jupiter) would tend to be very important for this person.
Keying in,
