Introduction to Natal Astrology - 2
- Written by Philip Graves (major credit: Sepharial) - 14 Jan 2004
The remainder of this article thematically details time-honoured considerations of matters to be read from the natal figure, drawing substantially from the records of the 19th century anthologist of astrological wisdom Sepharial.
Planets conjunct the angles and planets in aspect to the luminaries, considered together with their condition by placement and aspects, are the primary occupational significators. If there is at least one planet in conjunction with the Sun, the one forming the closest conjunction, and its condition, shows the measure of success in career. If there is a planet forming another aspect to the Sun of closer orb than the nearest conjunction, it too is very significant. Planets in the 10th house and planets in aspect to the Midheaven are also strongly influential.
See the Planets article for details of the general vocational inclinations of each planet as a significator; yet its sign placement must also be considered, and the field of work in which the significator will be involved will correspond to the house numerically equivalent to that sign: thus, for example, a significator in Aquarius finding employment in 11th house matters. Significators in Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces frequently indicate dual simultaneous occupations.
The strongest element in the nativity indicates broad areas of work in which the individual is suited to succeed. If Fire, work in areas involving fire or metals is common. If Earth, manual and agricultural labour are likely. If Air, intellectual and creative occupations are indicated. If Water, work that deals with or is powered by water is frequent.
Afflictions between the Sun and Moon reduce the personal power and bring disfavour from those in authority.
Saturn or Uranus in the seventh house bring opposition and loss in public matters; while Neptune or Pluto in the seventh indicate deceptive or intriguing business partners.
Neptune in the tenth house gives ability in aviation, motoring and oil, but brings career fluctuations and uncertainty, and a risk of being a victim of fraud. Pluto here confers trade and commercial ability, or if in a Fire sign, architectural, construction and demolition aptitude.
Self-employment prospects are favoured by either the Sun or the majority of planets above the horizon or rising, and poor otherwise.
