How Passionate Are You?

I do articles on House Rulers and everyone yawns. So, you have reduced me to cheap tricks . Here we go—Passion, Passion, Passion.

The Elements(Fire, Air, Earth, Water) —-Fire Signs(Aries, Leo and Saggitarius) may be the Kings of passion. They don’t call them fire, for nothing. Compared to Air signs such as Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, Fire is much more passionate. Earth Signs( Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) are more earthly, in their sexual nature.Earth loves exploring all his senses, including his sensuality. However, he loves all kinds of hugs and kisses and warmth and is not limited to actual passion, as his favorite palette. The Air Signs may prefer fantasy or just hearing you talk, as in Gemini. Water signs(Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) like tenderness and soul, as the root of passion. Pluto being the ruler of Scorpio makes Scorpio rev up in passion compared to Cancer or Scorpio. Even bad boy Scorpio is looking for his one and only soul mate. It just takes him so long. However, he will be loyal, once he finds her.

Pluto–The people who have a strong Pluto are more primal and with that, more passionate. This would include the Scorpio Ascendant, which has Pluto as his Chart Ruler, by definition. If Pluto conjuncts a personal planet such as the Sun, Moon, Mercury,Mars or Venus, you will have a more passionate person. Pluto makes passionate what it touches.

Pluto in Synastry–If you are not a particularly passionate person, such as someone who is high in Air like a Gemini, you may experience Pluto’s passion when someone touches your Gemini planets with his Pluto. This is, virtually, like you had the Pluto, in the natal chart. Synastry is like getting the other planet, by proxy.

Eros–A person with a strong Eros will be more passionate than someone who does not. His passion will be erotic as opposed to just lusty. By a strong Eros, I mean conjunct a pivotal point in the chart such as the Ascendant, MC, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars or Venus.

Lilith–A person with Lilith prominent in the chart will have more raw sexual passion that someone who does not.

8th House Stellium– A person with 3 or more planets in the 8th House will be more passionate than someone who has a stellium in any of the other houses. The 8th House is unique in being THE most passionate House in the Zodiac. This is because it is ruled by the sign of Scorpio. (You do not need to have Scorpio on your 8th House cusp) Scorpio is , simply, the Ruler of the 8th House, in general.

People with a strong Mars—People who have Mars conjunct a pivotal point in the chart will be more passionate. Mars is one’s drives. A person with a strong Mars will have stronger drives, in general. Their sexual drive will follow suit. A strong Mars would be Mars conjunct the Ascendant, the MC or any of the personal planets such as the Sun, Moon, Mercury or Venus.

Mars in Synastry–If a person’s Mars touches your personal planets or ASC or MC, you will feel passionate toward that person, even if you are not that passionate, yourself.

Explosive but Dark Passion—If your Nessus or Dejanira is touching someone’s personal planets, Ascendant or MC, or other asteroids, related to passion, you may have obsession. In fact, I have seen in it, in every case. Passion Asteroids would include(but not be limited to) Eros, Sappho and Lilith.

South Node–If you have Pluto, Mars or a passion asteroid such as Eros, Lilith, Bacche, Pan, Sappho or others, conjunct your South Node, you will be very passionate. The SN is what we have already mastered.

North Node–If you have any of the above conjunct the NN, you will be very passionate, as your life purpose is to learn about them

SN in Synastry–If a person’s Ascendant, MC , personal planets or asteroids of passion, conjunct your SN, you and he will feel very, very passionate toward each other.

NN in Synastry–the same holds true for the North Node. However, with the NN, you will have a better chance of longevity of the relationship.
