Sun (Detriment) Semisquare Venus

As Venus is never more than 48 degrees from the Sun, the "combust" and semi-square are the only adverse aspects Venus can from to Sol. Neither is a very important aspect of itself, but at times may make the native extravagant, overfond of pleasure and luxury, amorous and mutable in the affections. Some delay or misfortune in love affairs and in dealing with the opposite sex. Loss through speculation extravagance, or carelessness.

Sun (Detriment) Square Mars (Detriment)

Many ups and down and obstacles in the path of the desires. Impulse, pride and anger cause many difficulties; deaths, separations, litigation and enmities; hasty, fiery temper, through not lasting; ambition, love of enterprise but not enough continuity of application, confidence, faith and patience. Outspoken, assertive, aggressive, combative, defensive, impulsive, forceful, overbearing, destructive, self-willed, headstrong, audacious and sensual. Loses the esteem of superiors and those in high position. Danger through impulsive action, assaults, quarrels, accidents, fires, fevers, inflammatory complaints, surgical operations, short sudden, sharp attacks of sickness; cuts, burns, scalds. If Mars is in Capricorn or the Sun dignified it lessens the tendency to rashness, etc…

Sun (Detriment) Square Jupiter

Threatens financial setbacks through miscalculation in investments, speculation, errors in business, litigation; imprudent, premature action, often based on bad advice; a good aspect of the Moon will help to moderate this, but misfortune tends to prevail, often due to a false sense of security or outright bad judgment; absent careful reasoning or forethought; bombastic; irritable; fond of extravagant display.

Sun (Detriment) Sextile Uranus

Attracted to fame; a public personality; an innovative person; original thinker; a thirst for freedom; interest in the occult and all things extraordinary; a person at ease and talented with whatever is ruled by Uranus, including astrology, mass media, entertainment; publicity; usually somewhat iconoclastic and cynical about the status quo; Uranus rules adaptability and change on a grand scale---and globalization; this adaptability if often accompanied by an unwillingness to die for any cause, and a weak sense of patriotism.

Sun (Detriment) Semisextile Chiron

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 Semisextile Pluto

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.

Venus Semisquare Jupiter

Strong desire for grace, refinement, talent, beauty and luxury, but forced to be content with these to an ordinary or limited extent and satisfied with best show or substitute possible. Unless other testimonies offset this, it is not a good aspect for the accumulation of money, as a great deal is spent for appearances in dress, ornaments, luxury; inclines to easy good nature and fondness for pleasure, producing lack off accurate business instinct, resulting in loss through carelessness, fraud, deception, desertion, separation, prosecution, speculation, and unsound investments or securities.

If either planet is well aspected and well located by sign, much of the above is mitigated, but notice the houses which they occupy, as they indicate trouble for the things ruled thereby.

Mars (Detriment) Quincunx Uranus

Massive amounts of energy; directs energy to fame; brings war to the world; aggressive; impulsive and impatient. This aspect signifies a great reservoir of physical energy and a special talent in Uranian endeavors and careers. In a man, this aspect is a Sexual Aspect, as well as often indicating a man who desires changes of sexual partners. Mars is the male sex planet, and the Uranian influence tends to cause Mars to fluctuate, thus changing the sexual attractions of the man. If the Personal Aspect is turbulent, the desire for a variation in sex partners is accentuated.

Mars (Detriment) Sextile Chiron

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) Sextile Lilith

Mars (Detriment) Trine Priapus

Jupiter Semisextile Uranus

Super fame; talented at dealing with the public and audiences; great natural ability in areas ruled by Uranus, including the general public, politics, entertainment industry (especially movies and broadcasting), telecommunications and any public performance including political speeches acting and modeling, flying and space travel, technology and other agents of change; Uranus also rules recognition so this pairing means being fully recognized and credited for achievements.

Jupiter Semisquare Neptune

Difficulties and trouble through the affairs and things indicated by the house occupied by Neptune. Losses through speculation, fraud and treachery; secret sorrows. Peculiar religious benefits, emotional disturbances, uncertain health, danger form the deceit and dishonesty, trouble through water, liquids, drugs, oils, chemicals or beverages. Danger at sea or pleasure resorts.

Jupiter Sesquiquadrate Pluto

The individual has unrealistic expectation and dissipates a lot of energy on unobtainable or inappropriate goals. His self-opinion fluctuates from over confidence to inadequacy. Overbearing attitude and the tendency to try to force others to conform to his will may compensate inferiority feelings. He has the power to lead but without the charm and popularity of the favorable aspects. Dogmatic, destructive. There will be difficulty or inability to conjoin spiritual insight and training with emotional drives and ambitions. The emotional needs will be expressed contrary to confidence in spiritual realities, while the latter will not be available to assist in difficulties arising the former.

Jupiter Trine Chiron

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.

Jupiter Trine Lilith

Jupiter Sextile Priapus

Saturn (Ruler) Semisextile Chiron

This provides the native with the unusual ability to be a force against Judeo-Christian beliefs, morals and family values, and against marriage as an institution. This aspect also gives the native an ability to dominate the destinies of others, for better or worse. The native very often has a desire and ability to destroy marriages and break up families, and is often against the free enterprise economic system, preferring socialism or communism. Because this is a Saturn aspect, a turbulent angle can result in unconventionality. Especially in a woman, the turbulent Saturn-Chiron aspect is the Seclusion Aspect, with the native often living the last decades without a loved one. If a person has this aspect, there is far greater need to be much more careful about any involvement. In any relationship of love, a Romantic Super Linkage is required to offset this natal aspect. Please remember that all other natal aspects must be taken into account when analyzing a chart, and there could be offsetting aspects.

Uranus Square Chiron

** Turbulent Aspect ** This is a very powerful and helpful aspect, but unfortunately, it occurs too rarely (about every five years). It is most helpful when the native directs the aspect to achieve great fame and success in an area ruled by Chiron or Uranus. A person with this aspect has the ultimate in hypnotic charisma.

Uranus Square Lilith

Uranus Square Priapus

Neptune Square Pluto

** Turbulent Aspect ** Power from ideas, religion, the sex act (as opposed to lovemaking) and anything ruled by Neptune; the ability to inject religion or ideas into a power struggle; adept at seizing power through religion or ideas; big business from original ideas, talent artistry or other Neptunian symbolisms (it also means success form such activities because Pluto rules big business, and you cannot attain big business without success); for athletes, this is also an energy and coordination enhancer to the other pairing in an M/Q, especially if the other pairing includes Mars, Mercury, or Sun. Also obsessive or powerful and long lasting sexual desire lust and stamina.
