Zane Natal Chart

Reader Zane writes the following:

Wow, this is all very fascinating and confusing to me at the same time. I am new to all of this since reading a weekly horoscope as a Libra recently and then hearing about the whole Saturn-in-my-sign thing. Was relieved to hear it is leaving soon, but then thought maybe I shouldn;t be too relieved yet. Can you help me understand a little about what to be wary of based on where things are on this chart, or perhaps direct me to where I could learn more about it? I appreciate any info.

Here is the natal chart:

We note that Zane has a Gemini ascendant at 28 degrees.  He is likely generally perceived as sociable and friendly.  He may have been born into a family that encouraged this, and sometimes it seems to be his fate to play this role.  But, with most of his planets below ground, Zane carries secrets, and he carries quite a few of them.

With Venus in Virgo conjunct the IC and the Moon in Capricorn in the 7th house, we can see that women are particularly important in Zane’s life.  He has, and probably will continue to, needed to foster the growth of his daughter(s), sister(s), and mother.  If married, his wife is quite important to him.  Given these planets in earth signs, finances are likely an issue in these relationships.  He may also have some difficulty expressing his emotions in these relationships.  What comes out may be anger.

Saturn has touched his Sun and opposed its natal place (demi-return).  The demi-return signals adolescence at 14 years of age (roughly) and middle age at 42 years of age (roughly).  He is at a point where he is re-evaluating his values particularly if he has teenagers or children leaving home.

This year, transiting Saturn will touch natal Mercury and natal Neptune the following year, both in the 5th house.  Although many have seen him as “lucky” over the course of his life, he may feel as if “his luck has run out.”  But, this is just Saturn’s way of letting him know that he needs to re-evaluate his values and priorities.

If he is not doing so already, he could consider a teaching position in his career field.
