These are not in order. These are just a result of my personal experience looking at charts
1. Mercury Combust the Sun–the closer the harder. Each degree matters. This aspect makes it very hard for a person to see himself with an objective eye. He is too close to himself, such as one house which is too close to another house. There is not the needed distance( i.e personal space from oneself). People with the combust take things too personally. For example, if someone insults them, they react fast and in a defensive manner to protect their egos. Someone without the combust could pull back more and assess the situation. That is what I mean by the phrase” too close to oneself”
2. Asteroid Dejanira conjunct the Moon—all cases of this I have seen have had sexual abuse–very, very sad.
3. Chiron Conj the ASC–this is severe bullying that effects the person throughout life, such that they never get over it
4. Water Void–these people do not understand how they effect others, so they put their foots in their mouths and are off putting to others. Then, they are truly in pain, as they don’t understand why they were rejected.
5. Moon in the 12th– need to be intimate and close to others but fear and vulnerability stop it. They bring this pain on themselves and think it is others
6. Mars in the 12th—action is super hard. Expressing any passions is super hard. This makes the man wimpy, as he can’t stand up. Harder for a man than a woman.
7. Venus in Scorpio makes the person feel as if he/she is over sexed. The person can have a secret insecurity about this.
8. Mars in Cancer–the person cannot show his/her drives easily. He puts his emotions in his stomach and has stomach problems
9. Moon in Virgo–the person has a heart which can feel robotic and cold, as if they cannot feel, but think and reason, instead.
10. Child Asteroid Conjunct Dejanira–abuse but not as bad as Moon conjunct dejanira, but usually sexual abuse
10. Many planets in the 1st house. The person may be very self oriented, such that others are put off and the person does not know why.
11. Saturn Conj the Sun–Degrees matter a great deal here. An exact conjunction can be crippling. Once you hit 6 degrees, it will be more ambient. The person feels riddled with self doubt, as if a giant inferiority complex follows them around like the cloud which follows Pigpen in Charlie Brown.
12. Moon in Scorpio feels like a giant stone one must carry around one’s neck. The person is too intense such that he thinks his lover is cheating when she goes to the corner 7 -11 for milk. The Moon in Scorpio ramps emotional intensity up hundreds of decibels, by the sheer fact of this moon in this placement. He cannot help it He is , usually, ashamed to show people just how deeply he feels, as he is embarrassed.
13. Anything “bad” conjunct the North Node. I know that by the use of the word “bad”, I am going to have Astrologers coming out of the woodwork telling me that there is nothing bad. There are just challenges. I guess that is why I needed my own website. I can say what I want 😀 At any rate, something abusive such as Nessus, victimizing such as Dejanira, painful such as Chiron, limiting such as Saturn, giving betrayal such as Sedna etc etc will force the person to have a life with this theme. Isn’t that saying it straight out? YES
14. Squares of pivotal parts of the chart. Each planet is a part of the person, a slice of a person with a different function. Think of the human body with the heart, the brain, the lungs etc. Each does a distinct job and has a distinct nature. Each planet is the same. When you have the deepest heart( Moon) squaring the love part of a person( Venus), one has a disconnect between their deepest emotions and being able to show these emotions when they love. The square stays locked for life. This is another area where I will have Astrologers all over me, saying this is not true. I think it is. The opposition, on the other hand, allows for a back and forth motion, such as a yin/yan motion back and forth between either pole. So, it is not so locked in. The conjunction is a melding of the energies. This can be good or bad, depending on which planets and how close. For example, Mercury conjunct the Sun is a blessing when it is at 6 degrees. It is a sign of great intelligence. It can be a curse when it is exact, as it is one sign of mental illness imho. It is what I called the combust in my first entry.
15 Mercury square Uranus I hate this one, especially if it is exact. I cringe when I see it. This can be a sign of mental illness. This one makes me cringe second to Dejanira conjunct the Moon, which is my biggest cringe factor. How amazing is it that an Astrologer can know what someone went through, from a few symbols on the chart. There has to be a God, but that is another story lol
16. Venus in Aries in a man. This man does not like to chase. He does not like to be the aggressor in sex, either, which can be a problem for most woman, who want the man to be. He needs a woman to be the aggressor. The woman with Venus in Aries WILL be the aggressor. It is a reversed kind of situation.
17. Algol conjunct the ASC. Algol is the worst fixed star. It is associated with Charles Manson types. This is not to say you are a Charles Manson if you have this, but you will have dark impulses, most likely.
18. Pluto conjunct Venus–this is similar to a Scorpio Venus. The person will feel very, very sexual and may feel embarrassed or ashamed of it.
19. Neptune square Mercury. Neptune is the next world. One can leave this world and go to the next with imagination, creativity, music, art, God or drugs, alcohol and addictions which are harmful for us. Hence, Neptune is a double edged sword. When Neptune squares Mercury, the mind may tend to mental illness as Neptune dissolves what it touches and one needs a certain degree of solidity to have good mental health.
20. Jupiter with many planets( such as 3 or more) making squares or oppositions to it. This can dull the conscience and the sense of right and wrong.The more planets involved, the more severe the lack of conscience.
21. Stelliums in the 12th, 7th and 1st, in that order. A stellium is 3 or more planets in a sign. The 12th House is the hardest house. It hides what inhabits it. It represses and suppresses what inhabits it. It is very hard to deal with any 12th House planet, let alone 3 or more. The person will, often, have a hidden fantasy life or a complete double life. The 7th House stellium makes for co-dependency as the 7th House planets want other people to “do” the planet i.e. they want to find the nature of the planet in the partner. The 1st house stellium may make the person super self centered. It is all about them and they are the last to know lol
22. The Unaspected Moon is the one Unaspected planet which is not a gift to the native. The native is a gift to others, as the native is very sweet, tender and childlike, which is unusual in this hard, cold and hostile world. The Unaspected Moon is a child who never grew up. He brings a joy and openness to life that others appreciate. However, others hurt this sensitive person, as their own wounds are touched. Hence, the Unaspected Moon suffers a great deal from his inherent nature.
23. I am going to go out on a limb and say anything in Virgo is hard. Mercury would be the best planet to have in Virgo, as this would be the natural scientist or someone who could pay a lot of detail. However, Virgo makes a person be too hard on himself. He tries to be too perfect. He is too meticulous to the point of OCD. He is too exacting with detail to the point of being anal. With Virgo Sun, he is too hard on himself. With Virgo Venus, he is too picky about a mate. With Virgo Moon, he tries to be too perfect in his emotions. With Virgo Mars, he tries to be too perfect in reaching goals. He may get too caught up in details and drive himself crazy. I think Virgo is so hard because I think it is ruled bu Chiron, the planet of pain.
24. Capricorn ASC—May give the person a bony and kind of haunted appearance, such that the person may feel sensitive about how they look. The person may have a beaked like kind of nose.
25. Mars in Cancer in the 12th in a man’s chart–This man will be wimpy.
26. Moon in Cancer in the 12th in a man’s chart–This man will suppress his emotions. He may marry a cruel woman who will be brutal , to him, with her emotions.
27. Any Moon in the 12th House in a man’s chart—Suppression of emotions and marries a cruel woman.
28. Uranus in the 12—Has quirks which are kept secret.
29. Pluto in the 12th–Has a secret fantasy life or a kind of double life where he/she is the “good” one and the “bad” one
30. Nessus in the 12th house- May be an abuser, but not know it.
31.Nessus conjunct the ASC—Will abuse others.
32. Dejanira conjunct the ASC–Will be the victim of others.
Wow Ami, i have #1, #2, #5, #9, #10. @18
But what about our unaspected moons….very hard to deal with!!
YES–I will add that. Thanks so much, Gabby!!
Did it!! Tell me what you think.
#18…not @18…lol
Yeah, i like it! Good Job!
Pisces mars in 12th, met one, he married a b**ch and cant divorce because hes scared of her…so he still completely supports her, she sits on rear and complains about him, wont even take her kids to school or pick them up, he lives somewhere else and has to drive across town to get them every morning!
Yep Mars and the Moon in the 12th would be HARD. Pisces would be as hard or worse than Cancer *sigh*
I have Mercury square Neptune and Uranus and I don’t have any mental illnesses? I think what you wrote is alittle too much of a generalisation considering usually aspects involving Mercury and Uranus points to innovation and intelligence?
My Mercury square Neptune manifests in the way I express myself, I’ve been told I’m very creative.
I also have Jupiter square mercury (this helps with creativity, writing and imagination) and it opposes Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (like everyone else born around the same time as me) and I actually have too much of a conscience. I can get guilt tripped so easily, I have really strong morals I uphold and I always do the right thing.
Oh and I’ve never been addicted to drugs or drinking haha. So I think those aspects really aren’t that bad. I knew another girl who had the same aspects, she was brilliant and was one of the top students in my year back in high school. She was good at everything.
I hear you. I suppose I did generalize too much. The whole chart must be looked at, but for teaching purposes, one may have to generalize, but one must keep in mind it it just that. Thank you, Lily.
Oh and I have to add I used to get alot of awards for various subjects (came first in Maths and English before as well as Music and Art a few times, was on honour roll for 3 years and even came top of year in high school once) so I’m sure having Mercury aspecting the other outer planets benefited me greatly. 😉
Or maybe it could be just genes haha.
Awww You have some mitigating factors for a mercury/Uranus square. which would give you stability. If a person had many other factors plus this square, they would have more of a struggle. To see the chart as a whole is the key!
Amiann, would there be any way you could look at my chart sometime? I don’t like to post it publicly, but I could really use some advice. I am seeing quite a few of these difficult aspects show up in my chart! Please let me know if you ever would have time to – if not, I definitely understand. Thanks! 🙂
I am sorry. I would need you to put it in my Forum or purchase a reading from me. I may offer a cheaper reading than my full blown one that takes over week over intensive work for me. Honestly, there is no price for it, with the time, energy and care I put into it. Would you be interested in a more superficial reading from me, for which I would charge less? If so, I would consider it and talk about it with you.
You could use the paint program to white out your personal info, though. I am sure you, probably, know this.
1. Sun conjunct Mercury.
11. Sun conjunct Saturn.
14. Hahahaha… hahah… where to begin?
Sun square Ascendant.
Moon square Venus.
Moon square Mars.
Mercury square Ascendant.
Venus square Jupiter.
Venus square Uranus.
Venus square North Node.
Mars square Jupiter.
Mars square Uranus.
Mars square North Node.
Pluto square Ascendant.
23. Venus in Virgo. Mars in Virgo.
24. Capricorn Ascendant.
WOW Welcome Blackbird. You made my day. Come post your chart and we will talk !
Pluto conjunct Venus in 1st
Mercury combust Sun
Unaspected moon
Moon in 12th
Moon in virgo
Virgo Asteroid Deianira conjunct virgo moon, and virgo child and virgo Juno and virgo bride in 12th house…I married my a abusers because that’s what I learned as love in my childhood, subconsciously it was what i knew, so it was the only thing that felt safe to me emotionally!
Another toughie is Saturn square uranus….when its tight! I’ve had debates before with ppl saying this isn’t a hard aspect….but when it is a hard aspect, its explosive! When uranus finally breaks free of Saturn and starts to breath it can go crazy, like a starving person is ravenous for food uranus is ravenous for freedom and to have its needs mean something! It can be out of control, and I’ve read it can become violent if someone gets in the way and tries to stop or slow uranus as it runs for freedom!
It certainly turned my life upside down, i packed up me and my 2 children(both under 3) got on a bus in the middle of the night with $175 to start our lives over…headed across the United States to a place I didn’t know, my ex had to hire private eye to find us….but I couldn’t let my kids be hurt like I was!
That was the rebellious uranus finally waking up to fight saturns total control and oppression!
Wow fascinating about Uranus sq Saturn and it makes a lot of sense. Your Pluto in the first gave you the personal power to do that. Do you agree?
Oh I have Mars in Virgo and Uranus in the 12
Can’t win them all 😛
Come on my Forum and you can post your chart!
And also Dejanira square Asc conjunct MC 2 deg, means MC I will be the victim of my employers? idk?
Deja conj MC. Interesting. I have not seen that. How do you feel it?
I think since Saturn Mars and Pluto is also in the 10th house but only Mars conjunct MC 7 deg and Saturn conjunct MC 1 deg. I also do not know how it is in my natal chart, Deja on MC.
Saturn conj the MC. Do you feel a burden to be perfect? xx Saturn conj the MC
Deja conj the MC– are you victimized by society or in your career?
Yes, only when I was young until I realized that being depressed because I can’t have everything I want or be something I want to be is worst than just actually loving myself for who I am. I think Im being victimized by my career.
Deja conj the MC would be that
5, 12, 23, 27 and 29. I have a lot of oppositions though.
I have Sun, Mercury and Venus in Taurus in the 5th/6th house.
I also have Moon and Pluto in Scorpio in the 12th house.
Aaaand there’s my Aquarius Saturn squaring the lot of them.
Oh Joy.
-_-
Yes, oppositions are a going from one end of the pole to the other in a back and forth way. Do you feel this?
Yikes. I have nessus in 12th looks like… and almost exact square to pluto. Also have nn in 12th it loosely conjuncts it by 10 degrees. Still not sure fully what nessus means but from what you describe, not good. For the most part I do live a peaceful life now, but definitely used to have my own issues with anger and being very self protective. The evolution of my buddhist practice has made great strides. I did have a very turbulent childhood and was abused only to leave home quite early into the arms of another abuser. This guy abuseded me very differently though… I suppose at the time he’d fit the description of malignant narcissist or something close.
Come put up your chart, dear one. You can ask any questions you have. look forward to talking more on my Forum and look forward to your lovely photo!
Virgo as the only sign that suffers?? Oh come on. Why did you exclude the other signs that suffer equally? Pisces [stuck in servitude], Scorpio [painful transformations], Capricorn [anxious and loner feelings], Aquarius [misunderstood].
As well, you mentioned things like Sun Conjunct Saturn. What about Sun Square Saturn? Or Lunar Nodes?
Or what about the positive sides of Moon In Scorpio and Venus in Scorpio? Since when are these two ever seen as the ‘hardest aspects’?
Well, one has to look at planets in the Fall, Friend. Venus is in the Fall in Scorpio. Moon is in the Fall in Scorpio. Planets do not work well when in the Fall.
Which aspects would you add here, Friend?
So I’m just saying in the previous comment that I think this article is biased. It takes into account silly things like feeling oversexed as a Venus in Scorpio, despite the fact that it’s actually a loyal aspect.
As well, it misses a lot of opportunities to discuss how ‘squares’ and hard aspects are things you can work through to eventually get success later on, even if it’s not earlier in life.
I hear you, Anon. I am not saying you don’t have some points but I try to say things as directly as I can because that is what I like. The current climate is suffused with political correctness. One can never say things straight out. When I was learning Astrology, I resented going to websites which would not take a stand but called everything some version of mush. I reach out to the person who is like I am and like things said directly. With that being said, I don’t think people can actually work out squares. I think they have to work around them. I do think Venus in Scorpio feels that he is over sexed. Some people have admitted this to me. Others have not but I still do believe it lol
grrrr… you should have included Pluto in the 7th, 12th house planets arnt that bad.. I express them pretty well, sun and mercury, The fantasy life piece had me cracking up, Its fun fantasizing !
LOL Nick
I have moon and venus in scorpio, and I can tell for myself about it.
It’s very hight to handle, the sexuality really screaming out, intense feelings, so intense that there are moments you just can’t think in nothing but just on it… Of course, my lilith in the MC no helps so much too…
For a conservative person like I’m, with my sun cunjucts sun, is very difficult admit it, but it is the way it is, and I feels ashamed about it, but can’t help it, just the way it works.
Aww Thanks for being so honest, Lu! xx
sun conjuct saturn*
Who is the Sun, Lu?
What orb are you using for aspects to Dejanira?
Welcome Paisley
I allow for 2 in a conjunction. I will fudge it to 3. I allow for 1 in other aspects–trine, square etc
Some people only accept exact, so there is a lot of difference in points of views out there.
My son has a Capricorn Ascendent. Actually he is very nice looking. Does not have a bony nose. I would say his coloring is a little darker. He gets a great tan. Leo Sun in 8 th house. Scorpio Moon
which I agree is very intense.
I just noticed my son with a Capricorn Ascendent has Saturn and Mercury conjunct in Virgo trine his Ascendent. Very intelligent, spoke at a very young age. Funny he was like an old man in a child’s body. Big baby not bony at all. Ripped the cartilage in his knee accident. Always in the dentist office.
Yes, about the Cappy ASC being a little old man lol
I did not mean to say the person was not nice looking, Mary Ann. Tom Petty has a Cappy ASC and a Libra Moon conj Libra Venus and he is sooo gorgeous. I was trying to desctibe the pure traits of the ASC but they are always mitigated by other factors in the chart.
