Planetary Placements

There is more to your astrological composition than what your Sun sign has to say. Typically, we only hear about our Sun sign, as if it is the be-all and end-all. And while the Sun, indeed, has a prominent role, there is still much else to factor into the equation. Numerous stars and placements make up what is called a Birth Chart.

Planets and more might be working with signs that are anywhere from very favorable to very unfavorable to their nature. However, interesting and even valuable traits can manifest from any combination.

Cycling Pisces

Pisces is arguably the most intriguing and fascinating sign in the Zodiac, while also being the most understated. It represents the epitome of spirituality, although how you define that can still be debated.

In the case of Pisces, it is about possessing an unmatched combination of sensitivity, empathy, and imagination. All qualities that allow diving into what the abstract realm is made of, as much as possible.

It is said that, as the 12th and last sign on the wheel, before the cycle restarts again with Aries, it has absorbed the lessons that came before, having done a full journey. You would assume that this would automatically make it the most powerful and, in some ways, it is. However, the reality of it is much more complex.

Because we primarily exist not in the spiritual plane but in the physical (and one not even close to ideal), Pisces can be especially pushed and challenged. Particularly struggling with themes of imprisonment and escapism ("I've seen it and it is terrible! Get me out of here!"). Yet, at the same time, able to be acutely aware of what moves, visible or not to others, subtle as it may be. And if moments of reflection can be afforded, mysteries of the universe and beyond can be accessed.

Beware of falling into delusions and/or of being deteriorated by harsh realities.
Then you can eternally play within the soothing and nourishing sea of mysticism.

13th Sagittarius

If you were born on the 13th, under the sign of Sagittarius, congratulations!
It is a peculiar juxtaposition, astonishing to pause and look at more closely, with Sagittarius being the emblem of Fortune and 13th the emblem of Misfortune.

The Sagittarius sign is often viewed as the ‘luckiest’ sign of the zodiac. However, you could argue that this is merely an illusion. Somebody who embodies the character attributed to it could seem ‘lucky’ because of how optimistic, opportunistic, and, overall, appreciative they can be. And how these qualities, in return, bring more for them to be even more so. They carry the attitude and, without much, if any complaining, put in the work of continuing forward. And that usually gets them through and out of the stickiest situations, which, perhaps more than anybody else, they’d rather not remain in. Then, speaking of sticky situations. Let’s say the number 13th is cursed, as superstitions would say, and is indeed ‘unlucky’ to have (or even see). Let’s say somebody born this day seems to be constantly showered with “bad luck”. And yet, they somehow handle it - or attempt to. Would that suggest that they are fated with tricky challenges? If that is so, is the luckiest sign, Sagittarius, meeting the unluckiest number, 13th, someone tasked with, and particularly endowed for, facing, overcoming, and mastering even the most absurd and ridiculous scenarios going against them? For better or for worse, they may even seek them out!

Prominent themes include:

- Disarming and turning around unfavorable circumstances.

- Sympathizing with and assisting those who do not have the odds in their favor.

- “The hardest battle for the strongest warrior.”

October Libra

If you were born in October, under the sign of Libra, congratulations!
It is a peculiar juxtaposition, astonishing to pause and look at more closely, with Libra being the emblem of Balance and October the emblem of Darkness.

When it comes to Libra, balance is not merely about moderation. Balance implies and entails so much more. It is about putting two or more things together, seeing how they compare, how they contrast, and even how they click with each other. Measure, proportion, symmetry (or asymmetry), and many more details are taken into account and weighed. Because of this, Libra is often associated with beauty and also with fairness. It is a mistake, however, to assume that this automatically denotes shallowness (and vanity). In the baser levels, perhaps, but in their greatest splendor, quite the contrary, Libra’s energies lead further and wrap around wholly so it doesn’t miss a thing. Within October, depending on your environment and upbringing, darkness reigns, by the cycles of nature and/or by tradition. This brings the focus into more of the unseen and even the denied. Shadows play a role. The taboo is acknowledged, hinted at, and teased with. Succumbing to the forces of this territory isn’t in this sign’s plans (though it may inch closer and closer as it nears Scorpio’s dates), but appraising instinctually is. Masks come into awareness and every crack in them begins to become noticeable, revealing a disguise. Monsters could be more humane than humans and humans more monstrous than monsters. Might as well face your demons, then either banish or turn them into allies.

Prominent themes include:
- Detecting injustice and hypocrisy.
- Equity rather than equality.
- Crude yet tasteful humor.

Are you an October Libra? And have you met any other October Libra? Maybe, even if quite different on the surface, you share a few things in common, besides your birthday!
