Sun Trine Chiron
Error: 2.53°   Strength: 36.82%

This is one of the most powerful aspects that is not a Super Aspect. It helps the native to be noteworthy and or charismatic. If the native also has a Super Aspect formed by Chiron, then he or she can have a hypnotic or mesmerizing influence on most of us. This is also a female Romance Aspect where the native (person born with the aspect), if female, has an unusually intense desire for marriage and children. Such women often marry and have children when they are very young.

Moon Trine Saturn (Fall)
Error: 1.66°   Strength: 58.49%

This signifies a determined, strong-willed person with enormous drive. It is the sign of the bulldozer who will run over anyone is sight to meet an objective, but who is often successful because of this drive and determination. Generally unorthodox, the native neither seeks nor accepts advice from others, and is happiest when being the boss in all relationships. This is the IMMOVABLE ASPECT, and the natives usually are the most self-willed and controlling persons in the zodiac. The upside is that they are very often genuinely faithful, are good providers, and are responsible to their family. (Note this aspect is the same as Sun/Saturn but more emotionally charged.)

Moon Sesquiquadrate Neptune
Error: 0.55°   Strength: 86.21%

Threatens fraud, deception or slander; difficulties through things ruled by the house Neptune occupies; misfortune through the opposite sex, delays or obstacles in regard to marriage in a male chart; desire to gratify the tastes which leads to injury of the health, especially if either is in a water sign. Strong inspirational, psychic, emotional and imaging faculty; subtle feelings, quick impressions and eccentric, undefined or unexplainable acts. It attracts to peculiar people, exquisite tastes, luxuries, odd colors, odors and Bohemianism or unconventionality. Impulse is liable to predominate over reason, or through over enthusiasm the feelings may get the upper hand of judgment, leading to acts of indiscretion. Quick response to environmental influences. It affects the nervous or mental health through bodily disorder. In mutable signs it affects the brain and nervous system; in fixed signs, the glandular and secretory processes; in the cardinal signs, the circulatory and absorptive systems.

Moon Quincunx Pluto
Error: 1.37°   Strength: 65.69%

The native is resilient to change, able always to make the best of circumstances. He is emotionally sensitive, and able to influence others subtly. The conjunction cannot be considered a favorable aspect in this case, since the Moon is in its fall in Scorpio. Moodiness and depression may appear, due to vulnerability to strong emotional drives. The individual will be psychologically keyed into powerful interpersonal emotional interactions at an unconscious level.

Moon Sesquiquadrate Chiron
Error: 2.84°   Strength: 28.97%

** Turbulent Aspect ** This signifies a strong desire for marriage and children, someone who is highly intuitive and resourceful. It is a female Romance Aspect, and if the native is a woman, all she thinks about is her Prince Charming or meeting one. She feels completely unfulfilled without one in her life.

Mercury (Ruler, Exaltation) Quincunx Jupiter
Error: 1.90°   Strength: 52.44%

Wisdom; logical mind, brilliant and persuasive communicator; teaches religion; can be brilliantly tactful, sees both sides of an argument good for diplomats, attorneys, negotiators, arbitrators; more than any other pairing, this one indicates the ability to hear (Mercury) the words of Providence (Jupiter) and therefore can be a prophetic writer and a voice of reason, a communicator for peace.

Mercury (Ruler, Exaltation) Sesquiquadrate Saturn (Fall)
Error: 2.68°   Strength: 33.12%

The subject has great ambitions and desires for activity, success and mastery in lines coming under the Third, Sixth and Tenth House affairs, but his efforts are attended with delay, disappointments, obstacles and limitation, and in some cases he meets with criticism and opposition, open or secret, and his efforts are frequently thwarted and hindered or his plans overthrown. Encounters difficulty in acquiring an education and in all matters pertaining to books and studies. The retentive or memorizing faculty needs developing even though memory of events is strong. The aspect signifies great sorrow through death of brethren for father, probably both, or their ill health, separation or estrangement from them, although not necessarily through quarrels, but more as the result of circumstances. Trouble is occasioned through slander, false reports, forged letters or documents, unfriendly writings, delayed and misunderstood letters, and the subject may himself cause difficulty through these things. The effect on the nature is to make one sarcastic, bitter, impulsive and somewhat dissembling with periods of gloom, pessimism or exasperation, grave anxiety, worry, constant disturbance of the mind, errors or judgment, caused by fear, circumstances, lack of initiative, procrastination and continuos restriction of action. This lead the mind to meditate and endeavor to discover the reason for these undesirable manifestations, and from the attitude one may be prone to seek recourse in the study of Occult subjects and spiritual philosophy, and thus improve his responses to the aspect. If either planet be in or rule the Third or Ninth House it gives and inclination for science and Occult learning, which considerably improves the reaction to this aspect, but still there is liability to loss through failure, theft, fraud and deception; difficulty or loss in employment or thorough lack of employment, poor health often interfering; troubles through neighbors, servants, societies, associations, messengers, travelers, and by things ruled by the sign and house occupied. This is a bad aspect for the teeth, causing decay; also causes slow or poor circulation or digestion, bowel affliction, weakness, obstruction and constipation. People with the aspect or are annoyed with these latter troubles should avoid strong drinks or highly seasoned food.

Error: 1.57°   Strength: 60.84%

Artistic voice, talented at singing; artistic, creative and productive mind; musical genius; natural acting skills, particularly the ability to deliver lines with skill; poetic speech; ability to write original books, poetry and music with inspiration; dramatic communicator; innovative ideas bordering on, or equal to, genius.

Mercury (Ruler, Exaltation) Trine Chiron
Error: 1.83°   Strength: 54.34%

It is the most powerful aspect in helping someone to be a charismatic speaker (Evita Person was born with this), writer, or singer. This aspect also promotes a New Age outlook and makes the native highly intelligent, adventuresome, and self-reliant.

Venus (Ruler) Conjunction Mars (Detriment)
Error: 2.58°   Strength: 35.39%

Grace of motion because Venus rules grace and beauty, and Mars rules the muscles, energy, actions and movement; harmonious energy; abundant energy; money from whatever is ruled by Mars, including athletics and sports, war and the military, weaponry, the development and maintenance of muscles and the body; love of war because Mars rules war and Venus rules desire.

Mars (Detriment) Sesquiquadrate Chiron
Error: 1.44°   Strength: 63.90%

** Turbulent Aspect ** One of the Male Sexual Aspects, it creates the ultimate high energy level, generates more pure energy than any other aspect, and rates as a Super Sports Champion Aspect (a term from Astrology Really Works!). But the Chiron -Mars aspect does not help coordination in the way the Venus-Mars aspect does. The native needs aspects that help coordination in order to most beneficially harness the energy this aspect provides. If the aspect in not well used and controlled through moral teachings, there can be constant moral slippage toward excessive aggressiveness, and even belligerency.

Mars (Detriment) Square North Node
Error: 1.52°   Strength: 61.94%
Mars (Detriment) Square South Node
Error: 1.52°   Strength: 61.94%
Jupiter Semisextile Chiron
Error: 0.08°   Strength: 98.09%

This is one of the most powerful of all aspects, as this Super Aspect provides the native with a fabulous public image and a commanding presence, which instills confidence and wins trust. It foretells a great destiny and career and can result in noteworthy success, ultimate intuitive genius, and success through charisma in anything ruled by Chiron. No matter how powerful and helpful one aspect is, though, there is no substitute for hard work, determination, and tenacity.

Saturn (Fall) Sesquiquadrate Uranus
Error: 2.96°   Strength: 25.89%

The tendencies and desires are the same as before mentioned, but the subject has not the capacity and ability to direct the forces to the same successful results and meets with general misfortune through things mentioned and indicated by the houses these planets occupy. This aspect has an injurious effect on the health at some tie, weakening the parts of the body denoted by the signs occupied, especially by Saturn, producing a heavy, complicated and serious sickness, either long drawn our or else incurable. Liability to accidents by falls, falling object, collisions, acts of nature, riots or uprising and disregard for the rights for feeling of others. Mentally it gives singular, imaginative, eccentric and peculiar attitudes sudden temper, impulsive, aggressive acts. Radical or destructive tendencies. In a very weak or adverse chart, may invert the abilities and become thoroughly bad, treacher5ous, violent, or the aspect may manifest indolence, idleness, with an improvident attitude, satisfied only in catering to the tastes and emotions. Disrespect for laws.

Saturn (Fall) Semisextile Pluto
Error: 0.29°   Strength: 92.79%

Burning desire for monumental and enforced change; ability to overhaul and drastically change and dominate a profession, industry, field, or area; this pairing is different from the Saturn + Neptune paring because with this pairing, there is the strong willingness and desire to bring about change in any way deemed necessary and at any cost, including violence if there are also Saturn aspects to Mars in the subject's chart.

This is a Cinderella aspect.

It works on men, also. Since Neptune is the most feminine planet, this aspect imparts a soft, feminine charisma that is very appealing. Princess Diana was born with this aspect. It is also a Romance Aspect. The native believes in real-life Cinderellas and dreams about marrying a form of royalty.
