Stelliums are formed by having three planets or more in the same sign or house. They concentrate amplified energy on the traits of that sign or house and often give an intense and singular focus to life.
They don’t always bestow genius but it is a fair analogy since persons with great ability in one specific arena often have notable lacks in other areas of their lives. Great pluses often go along with equally great minuses. Memo – you can’t have it all.
People often worry about having houses with no planets – but a chart with planets in all 12 houses (impossible anyway) would produce such a thinly scattered personality, with too many directions of interests that it would not be helpful.
Personalities in the news with stelliums interestingly enough are Blake Lively with five planets in Virgo in her 1st – and wow that is a full-on personality. The first house is to do with identity and image which she approaches in a highly Virgoan way – earthy, practical, critical, opinionated.
She is facing up to Justin Baldoni over sexual harassment issues and he is giving as good as he gets. He has four planets in intense, emotional Scorpio (three in is financial second house) – money will be a great motivator but in addition Scorpio takes badly to being attacked and will rarely give up without a fight back.
Leo di Caprio also has a stellium of three Scorpio planets which rules money and sex in his 2nd house – wealthy with a constantly revolving romantic life.
Another Virgo stellium is Jada Pinkett Smith, 18 September 1971 12.38 pm Baltimore, Maryland, with Mercury, Moon, Sun, Pluto, three in her 10th and one in 9th – very career and outer oriented.
This is similar to having an upper hemisphere chart where the focus is on work and outer activities rather than personal and subjective ones. A left hand chart will be more independent. A right hand chart will be more relationship-oriented.
