But, what would you expect the qualities of planet UraNep to be? And how will that change if Uranus is stronger (by sign, house and aspects) than Neptune - or if Neptune is stronger than Uranus?

That makes sense. I'd never heard that before. Thank you for the good tipp. It's the nudge forward that I need.

That was exactly my question. How would I know which planet will express itself more fully? Again, just my basic understanding that if Uranus were to be the chart ruler, eg, and IDK no pisces, no 12th house placements could indicate that Uranus is more prominent. I suppose I'll have to look into the houses more, too. How did you choose the house system?

Anyone whose interest in astrology extends beyond Sun signs is a serious practitioner, and is likely to be of above average sensitivity.

However, your "next step" will come only through hands-on experience ...... acquired by analysing, interpreting and attempting to synthesise the astrological indicators in the charts of anyone who will allow you to do so.

Thank you for the recommendations! I'll check them out! Do you have a favourite blog or site or video channel? It's not so easy to get these books, I assume.

I started with the Equal House system, but found later that Placidus Houses produce more accurate interpretations for me. ... However, when practicing the Huber system of (psychological) astrology, I use Koch Houses - because the Hubers found (from both research and experience) that it provides more accurate interpretations of behavioural patterns in chart owners.

Alan Oken's book is readily available (but expensive) ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rulers-Horoscope-Finding-Through-Labyrinth/dp/0892541350

Terry Dwyer's is cheaper (and more difficult to obtain) ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Write-Astrological-Synthesis-students/dp/085243376X

However ... the problem is that the meaning of UraNep, and all other two-or-more-planet-blends, is unique for every chart ... which is why astrology practitioners have to learn by "doing charts", rather than reading books.

So ... consider posting a suitable chart on the personal reading board - and inviting members there to "walk you through the process", for that specific chart.

Practice with charts of people I know really well would be best then? I don't know the TOB for anybody that I know. I'd like to study actors' charts. But again, no TOB. But I could play around with them a little bit, I'm always interested in figuring out somebody's ASC (and moon) anyway.

Did you start with your own chart?

Psychological astrology sounds very much like what I am looking forward to ultimately. I need to know the whys of the world and of people. It's interesting to know that somebody has Uranus/Venus aspecting but I'm excited to learn why that person was born with that aspect, how it developed and how it cirlces back to her/his family.

For example, is there any empirical data that confirms that the lack of one element in a natal chart of the child is what makes up most of their parents'? Just a thought I had this morning.

I checked out the Hubers a little bit online. I found an article on astrology and music, where he analyses Vivaldi. And I was listening to the Four Seasons in that moment. That was creepy. Because it was the second moment like this today, where one thing popped up in two randomly different and unrelated places screaming HELLO at me.

Did you work with Regiomontanus as well at some point? I was using the Placidus system and somebody pointed me to a different house system, because in one aspect placidus didn't add up to my reality. Then I was confused for a while, how different house systems can even make sense and come to the same conclusion. For now, I've decided to go with my gut instinct and I'll interpret that aspect in the other house, keep most aspects as they were (not much changed or I know Placidus is more accurate there) and let one or two things undecided.

Self-understanding is my sole motivation for studying and practicing astrology.
