Astro Notes II ☆

10th house Stellium indicates interest in career and social status

Scorpio Mars and Venus make really jealous partners

Scorpio Mars is a sign of a strong sexual aura and an intense personality

Capricorns with personal planets in Gemini/3rd house, have more commons with Virgos than with Taurus people

Charts with many Libra/Gemini/Aries signs or a combination of those, create people that like gossiping or making others' problems their own business

Our Jupiter sign indicates parts of our lives we get luck from

Libra Suns may have problems teamworking with Aries and Leo Suns

Libra Sun/Ascedant/Mercury/Moon people can be liked by all signs at some point

The sign we have our 1st house (Ascendant) at, is an indicator of the things we like to start. For example 1st house in Cancer would like to start a family first etc

Cancers can be as good managers, business people etc., as Capricorns, and Capricorns can be as caring parents as Cancers. They just have different priorities

Where we have our Uranus house at, shows life unexpected changes

It is possible that if we meet someone who their Sun sign is our Saturn's sign, we are going to have a hard relationship

Jupiter/Sun in Libra people are the best diplomats

Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn are the three signs with the highest libido, especially in Mars

The most misunderstood signs are Gemini, Scorpio and Capricorn

Scorpio Moon/Mercury people are extremely private and careful with what they say. Scorpio Suns can be mysterious but it's easier for them to open up after some time
