You have incredible insights, you have given me new thoughts about my ascendent leo-aquarius polarity and abot my fixed t-square with an empty aquarian leg in the 7th house...But I'm still not sure how to operate the empty leg? It's difficult to make it stable, let alone fly... Since the 7th house is my biggest problem, I don't know how to resolve this t-quare...But I guess with aquarian 7th house, focusing on the greater good, the purpose of a relationship might be a solution?

The journey of the mutable cross is the journey of Mercury and Jupiter and the transformation of information to universal truth. Gemini gathers information, Virgo refines and processes it into knowledge, Sag disseminates the derived truth which then becomes universal wisdom/truth in the 12th house and Pisces. You may find the articles by typing 'Jupiter, Mercury' into the search engine on this site.

I wish I had the time to comment on your chart, because I think that focusing on the fixed houses would be key to fixing the things that are frustrating you. Just remember that no house is really 'empty'--all houses have a ruler, and if there are no planets in a house the house ruler takes control. Once you understand what you own, you know what you will bring to the table of life to share with others. We can't express what is not within us, much as we would wish to. Hi, Paula.

You speak about things that aren't spoken anywhere else and that is really inspiring for me, it makes me want to study astrology more seriously (I read about this since 2006 but I never took clases or had a teacher). This fixed cross is very interesting to me, since almost all my planets are in this houses (5, 8 and 11) The 2 is empty, and I feel an urge to merge sometimes, but I feel like I have nothing to give, or it's not enough in exchange of what I would get.... I also feel like I'm very creative but I have so many Ideas I don't know how to expres them... I was going to tell you where those planets are but I think its better to just link my chart :p http://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi?cid=bdpfilekFpezG-u1341357803&lang=s&gm=a1&nhor=1&nho2=2&btyp=2&mth=qs&sday=12&smon=7&syr=2012&hsy=0&zod=&orbp=&rs=0&ls=1&add=18&add=20&add=22&ast= pd: sorry if my english is bad!

You have other things to work on. However, no house is entirely 'empty' because each house has a ruler, and when the rulers of these houses come into strain by transit or progression, these issues can come alive.

What if I don't have anything in my second, fifth, eighth or eleventh houses? I have a natal chart and those four houses are empty. I have Sun (Pisces), Mercury, and Saturn in the 7th, Mars, Uranus, Pluto and the Ascendant (Virgo) in the 1st. Neptune is in the 3rd, the Moon and Venus in the 6th, Taurus in the 9th. My midheaven in the 10th house is Gemini, which happens to be my mother's sign (sun sign?). I appreciate your assistance as I try to make heads or tails of this chart and the odd path I'm traveling through the stars. I was wondering if you would answer a question for me please.

This is old knowledge, long before the discovery of the outer planets, and it has more to do with the nature of fixity itself. There is a long esoteric explanation for it, but the short version is that cardinal initiates, and fixity must use and form whatever the cardinal mode brings. The mutable energy is meant to disseminate the results. Each modality has its 'trap'--with mutables, things can deteriorate into a pointless nervous energy. Cardinals can go sparking off things that have no use or purpose, ending up frustrated and dissillusioned. With fixity, the trap is remaining stuck, never evolving, never forging anything new. You have a point about the fixed exaltations, but remember that Saturn is exalted in Libra and Mars in Capricorn. It's an area where the planet is given strength, where it works naturally. I'm actually only comfortable using dignities up to Saturn. The ancient system for dignity was a very complex interweaving, and didn't take in our three outer planets. My instinct tells me that Pluto makes sense for Leo and possibly Uranus for Scorpio if we understand that the old symbol for Scorpio was in fact, a dragon-like creature and not the symbols (Scorpion, Eagle, Serpent, etc.) we use today.

i also wonder about certain planetary exaltations – Uranus in Scorpio – and Pluto in Leo – seems like those two outer planets almost require the integration of a difficult square in order to be to be put to their highest use…..
