The Signs of the Zodiac III - Astrology 101
With the Sun in Aquarius, you really get almost the archetypal challenger of authority. Whoever is in power right now, Aquarius is there to hold them accountable, think of an investigative journalist, to some degree not so much the investigative, but what journalism is supposed to be is a check on power. And that's was kind of the whole idea of democracy in a sense, or at least American democracy, to have checks and balances and to have, you know, power spread out as opposed to consolidated in one person. And I think that is a strong theme with Aquarius and what Aquarius planets tend to be shooting for. Not that Leo is you know, just trying to be the king and rule the roost. You know, Leo can be fair.

I've heard the joke that Gemini is interested in so many things and wants to follow so many pursuits that it has to split itself into two people to be able to do them all. And you know, when I think of the very Gemini people in my own life, they're constantly surprising me with the number of jobs they've done in fields that have absolutely no connection to one another whatsoever. The number of hobbies they have the number of projects they have on the go, just constantly working on multiple things at a time. Many of which have no common thread connecting them. I don't know how they get the time or how they do not completely burn themselves out. But you know, when you think of the the classical image of mercury with the wings on his feet constantly going, you know, from here to there delivering messages from place to place. So just stopping briefly in every single place, and you know, picking up a bit of information here and there, that tells you a lot about the spirit of the sign of Gemini.

An important role that signs play is that they they give the planets responsibilities and places to be they give the planets homes. So each each planet rules one or two signs, the the luminaries, each rule, one sign and the rest of the planets rule two. And the signs that they are sent to rule are called their domiciles, which means home. So that also means that if a planet is an assign that is not their own sign, they're essentially a guest in somebody else's home. So we stick with you know, Venus as an example. If Venus is in Scorpio, a sign that is ruled by Mars, then Venus is staying over at Mars as house basically. And so Mars. Because Mars rules the sign of Scorpio, that's Mars is domicile, Mars has responsibility for what goes on in Scorpio. And so Mars has responsibilities to Venus in a guest host sort of relationship. So when you look at like what sign a planet is in, in your chart, if that planet is not in their own sign, it's always good method of interpretation to look at the planet that does rule that sign and the relationship between them. And that'll give you some more information on you know, how, how's that planet feeling in your chart?
