I'm looking a lot up tonight, it must be good astrology education weather for me.
Thanks for the replies everyone! Moon Child, I'm glad you replied to say you didn't have anything in the 8th. Cool.

Slayer, would you mind giving examples of how those aspects affect you that loosely deal with the info on the link? I'm still learning to blend all of the aspects, and I don't have the asteroids memorized. I think I could figure it out if I took about a half hour and worked it slowly like a math problem, but any cliff notes you wouldn't mind sharing would be great.

S, Sat in Virgo in 8th would mean you are karmically responsible for doing mental healing in the Scorpio environment and that blends well with your Sun/Venus/MC/Uranus purposes as well... and I know Chiron has something to do with healing and wounded too... so that sounds about right. That one was a little easier. I almost asked you the same aspect question.

S, how do you know what the Chart Ruler is? Is it the same as NN? And since your NN is Vir, you are meant to be a healer in this area. Excellent. And AG's NN too...

I don't understand Jupiter or Pisces as fully as other energies, so I can't comment on Zala or Blue Moon's info, but I wouldn't mind knowing what it means to you guys.

Star Gazer, I don't understand the differences in the charts although I think AG told me once.

Mystic Melody- are your Sun, Merc & Pluto conjunct in the 8th?

I work at a bank in the mortgage lending department. Get this, I also work for a Scorpio supervisor, and a Capricorn Manager. How perfect for my 8th house Capricorn Sun, huh? So far including my bosses and myself, I count 6 feminine (earth/water) sun signs in my department (2 Capricorns, 1 Scorpio, 1 Pisces, 1 Taurus, and 1 Cancer). I've only found two masculine signs so far, a Gemini and an Aries. I don't think I've ever worked in such a feminine-sign-friendly environment.

MysticMelody,

The Chart Ruler is the planet that rules the sign your ascendant is in. For example, my ascendant is Gemini, so my Chart Ruler is Mercury (the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

The North Node is the implied lesson you're supposed to learn this life. The North Node is always accompanied by the South Node (directly opposite in the chart). The South Node reflects an area that you are too comfortable. It reflects an area that you've perfected in previous lifetimes. The South Node imparts certain gifts that are supposed to assist you in attaining your North Node goal this lifetime.

So if Stephen's NN is in Virgo, then his big life lesson this time around is to learn the lesson of Virgo. His South Node (area of comfort that he comes from) is in Pisces. Here is a thread with an introduction to Virgo North Node/Pisces South Node: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/007995.html

My NN is in Capricorn, which you can find out about here: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/007999.html

North Node in the 8th house is similar to a Scorpio North Node (because Scorpio rules the 8th house). Here's an introduction to Scorpio/8th house North Node: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/007997.html

Dulce, again, I've only read about Vesta and Lilith about once each. I haven't focused on learning astrology for the past couple years, just picked new things up from good posts and links here

Hmmm, Lilith I've only read about once too. I really don't the effect. But I know Vesta has to do with Virginity/sexuality.....sort of like a Madonna-wh0re Complex thingy (fitting that I have it in virgo, and in the 8th at that!).

How does this apply to me personally? I think it has alot to do with the conflict between the culture that I came from vs. culture I grew up in. Different morals coming into conflict (especially concerning sexuality). I have my parents telling me one thing but my peers doing another so from time to time I'm torn between the two.

It is confusing... I understand the difference between the 7th and the 8th house... I have a lot of 8th house/Scorpio in my chart with Placidius (default on Astro). Most Astrologers use Placidius.
However, Equal houses are across the board.. meaning it works well no matter where you live... Something happens to the houses when you use Placidius and live really far North or South .My
7th house spans three signs.. Cancer on the DC 26'. Leo is intercepted and the house ends at about 9'Virgo. My Sun, Merc. Venus are conjunct in Virgo earlier than 9' Virgo.. So When you use the Equal or Koch system the house size is divided differently and it is enough to change theStellium to being in the 8th instead of the 7th... My Saturn also changes from the 2nd to the 3rd....Some people are not affected at all. The angles all stay the same... the house size changes....

You can look at your chart using all the house systems on Astro. I can only say that I can totally relate to each house interpretation. It would be hard to choose which one is "more" right. Again, i can only say that because the Scorpio/8th house influence..Pluto in the 8th is bound to give you a strong Plutonian nature anyway..
My 7th house is also packed even without the Stellium.. So I feel the Libra energy, too.

The Pullen charts are interesting, too.
An equal house Pullen Chart makes Scorpio the strongest in my chart.. Even with 5 planets in Virgo...
