Sun (Ruler) Square Saturn
Indicates derangement of the health, the nature of the illness threatened can be seen by the signs which the Sun and Saturn occupy. It is bad for business affairs, especially of the kind signified by the two planets. Obstacles, limitation, hindrance and delays, cause disappointment, sorrows and losses. The ambitions are thwarted, sometimes the native seems to be getting along splendidly, success seems close and sure, but suddenly inevitable conditions and reverses arise, resulting in downfall and loss. The native incurs opposition, enmity, jealousy and public disfavor. All of these things indicate a tendency to become unsympathetic, or careless of the feelings of others, selfish, pessimistic, skeptical, or disinterested in social and economic welfare. It indicates death of the father, disagreement or separation from him, enmity or disfavor of superiors, employers or those of high position; unfortunate marital affairs. In a woman's horoscope this aspect signifies a denial of marriage or delay. Also indicates death of the husband or marriage to a widower. These marriages are seldom-happy ones, the husband usually being domineering, exacting, selfish, or inclined to illness and misfortune. If Saturn is in a water sign, the parent is liable to be given to drink or other dissolute habits.
Sun (Ruler) Square Uranus
Hope for a good aspect with other planets, in order to moderate extreme manifestations of the following: A tendency toward broken promises, separation, and even scandalous betrayal of marital vows, especially where a bad aspect with Venus exists. Averse to long-term ties in general; tendency toward impulsive, erratic action; fond of risk-taking, in business and romance. Particularly bad in a woman's horoscope. Prone to jealousy, love affairs, short-term partnerships. Interest in occult societies; a tendency toward accidents, especially those involving explosions and natural calamities.

Moon Sextile Venus
A highly intuitive person; sensitive; engaging in personality and gifted with a high degree of emotional intelligence; an affinity for natural beauty; easily forms deep personal connections with others; sociable; affectionate; a tidy person, well-mannered; hospitality or real estate are often ideal career choices.
Moon Trine Jupiter (Detriment)
This is a Super Aspect and the Wisdom Aspect; the native is attracted to seeking the truth. When the aspect is an enhancement, the native usually finds truth in Judeo-Christian values. When the aspect is not an enhancement, the native is usually attracted to non-Judeo-Christian ideas. Generally, the native is highly responsible, faithful, and peace loving, but willing to fight and die for a cause. (Note this is the same interpretation as the Sun/Jupiter except with the moon the emotional side is amplified.)
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. The individual will be psychologically keyed into powerful interpersonal emotional interactions at an unconscious level.
Mercury (Ruler) Sextile Saturn
Strong ability to concentrate mentally, and a disciplined mind; mind over body; this pairing represents the profession and study of psychology because it is the study of control of the mind; single-minded and obsessed with achieving a goal; when this pairing is quadralized with a Jupiter pairing it can create genius.
Mercury (Ruler) Sextile Uranus
Public communication; famous reflexes and respiration, natural athletic ability; naturally skilled with computer software; adept at astrology, chess; great depth perception and eye-body coordination; mind with extraordinary spatial relations capacity, very adept at visualization in the mind, great mind for designing, architecture, mechanical engineering, hairdressing, painting, and sculpting.
Mercury (Ruler) Square Neptune
Unreliability, obstacles and misfortune. The memory is apt to be poor, the mind vacillating and somewhat unpractical, affected by spells or periods of mental aberration, abstraction, lack of concentration, absentmindedness, dreaminess, or irresolution. It tends to nervousness, sensitiveness, restlessness, changes, and liability to trouble through slander, deception, imitation, fraud, intrigue, and bribery. Danger through drugs and poisons. Difficulties through changefulness, unexplainable psychic conditions, lack of cautious self-control and the liability to be led by the impulses, sensations, appetites, emotions, sympathy, and by the ideas, thoughts and advice of others, resulting in nervous, restless excitability, which exhausts the vital processes. Then native should benefit through study of dietetics.
Mercury (Ruler) Semisquare Chiron
** Turbulent Aspect ** 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.
Mercury (Ruler) Sesquiquadrate North Node
Mercury (Ruler) Semisquare South Node
Venus Sextile Jupiter (Detriment)
A born leader; champion of sports; very fortunate; love of God; money from the realms that Jupiter rules, including knowledge, publishing, law, banking.
Venus Semisextile Pluto
Sex symbol and love of sexuality; power from beauty; love of power; money from sources ruled by Pluto, including big business, power, atomic energy and the nuclear bomb, sex and competition, gambling; money from taking risk, including gambling, investing for trading profits; love of risk because Pluto rules risk; Pluto also rules elevated gifts, and this pairing would mean heightened, or even irresistible, beauty, and money from elevated talent.
Venus Semisquare Lilith
Venus Sesquiquadrate Priapus
Mars Sextile Saturn
This pairing can mean control of war and is a pairing of someone who is a pacifist or is unwilling to be confrontational; but this can also be a pairing indicative of obsessive desires and sustained energy.
Mars Sextile 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 Semisquare Chiron
** 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 Trine Lilith
Mars Sextile Priapus
Jupiter (Detriment) Square 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.
Saturn Conjunction Uranus
Charismatic and almost hypnotic, commanding and able to move large audiences and even entire nations; if this pairing is quadralized with a Jupiter pairing, the person has the maximum ability to influence and control audiences, the public, nations, and the world; unconventional; daring to be different; attracted to the counterculture; very independent with an intense dislike of authority; seeking change for the sake of change as opposed to any particular ideas, even though doctrines, will be professed; desire to dominate and control the populace or segments of it, with the ability to do so through charisma; intensely egotistical; this is the single strongest pairing in providing someone with the ability to move the public and change the world.
Saturn Quincunx Neptune
Like Saturn + Uranus, this pairing represents unhappiness with prevailing mores or accepted beliefs and the status quo, but here, there is the desire to change public views and ideas with the fervent wish to instill a particular set of his/her own values and doctrines, but always with the willingness to bring about change in a nonviolent fashion; ability to innovate the arts and create new art forms.
Uranus Quincunx Neptune
Ability to present artistic talent to the world, and to perform to large audience, this is a common pairing for performers in the entertainment industry; ability to bring new ideas to the world, including new religious ideas, scientific notions, and any idea that is innovative or creative; for athletes, this is an energy and coordination enhancer to the other pairing in an M/Q, ESPECIALLY IF THE OTHER PAIRING INCLDUES Mars, Mercury, or Sun.
Neptune Sesquiquadrate Chiron
** Turbulent Aspect ** This is a Cinderella aspect. Interpretations: long-term financial security through marriage, long-term family ties, long-term charisma, lasting noteworthiness, New Age ideas and inspirations, and becoming a real live Cinderella. 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.

Sun (Ruler) Contra-Parallel Chiron
** Turbulent Aspect ** This is one of the most powerful aspects that is not a Super Aspect. It helps the native to be noteworthy and or charismatic.
