Some astrology placements make for an easier life while others seem to point towards more struggle and strife. “Bad” astrology placements simply mean that life lessons are hard earned and not that you are doomed forever. With some hard work and dedication you can learn how to have a happy and successful life even when it feels like you’re cursed!
7. Astrology Placement, Venus in Virgo or Capricorn
Venus is the planet of love, art, beauty, and values. Venus loves being in the earth sign Taurus, but often struggles when placed in the other two earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn. In Virgo the issue lies in perfectionism, making the joys of love and dating feel more like a task than a journey. In Capricorn you value yourself and your time to such a high degree that only the rarest of people will be good enough.
How to Work With This Placement
In truth, neither are truly bad placements unless you try to compare yourself to others. Frivolity in dating is not your style and you’re going to be much happier single than with a subpar partner. Just don’t close yourself off to love forever, because when you do find the right person it will be true, long-lasting, love.
6. Saturn in the 5th Astrology House
Saturn dictates your relationship to your father (or caregiver who took on more of a provider and enforcer role). It shows how you handle responsibility and duty as an adult. Being that the 5th house is the area of your life which rules over fun and playfulness, having Saturn here can make all pleasure feel like a guilty pleasure.
How to Work With This Placement
You have to allow a balance between these opposing forces. On the one hand, you need to let yourself play and not feel guilty for having fun. On the other hand, you’ll need to learn the routines and schedules that make it safe for you to let loose. If you lean too much to one side or the other you’ll be stuck in a cycle of regret.
5. Scorpio or Capricorn Moon, Bad Luck ?
The moon is happiest in Taurus and Cancer, and least happy in Scorpio or Capricorn. The moon represents how you were nurtured as a child, and with it in Scorpio or Capricorn it suggests that one or more parents were distant and perhaps even cruel to you in your most formative years. This can cause you to put up walls around your heart and, at its worst, develop addictions in order to cope with the feelings not assuaged in childhood.
How to Work With This Placement
While there is no changing the past, it is up to you how you move in the present. Pain can be transmuted into joy through art, which is where the Scorpio moon finds its power. For a Capricorn moon, healing is found in purpose and long term goals, but those goals must be for you (read: do not try to live out your parents’ lost dreams).
4. Mars Conjunct or Square Neptune
Mars is the planet of war and aggression. Neptune is the planet of unconscious and subconscious, illusions and delusions. When Mars and Neptune are either conjunct (at the same degree in the same sign) or square (90 degrees apart) this creates an inner tension. It makes expressing your feelings complicated because you are often unsure of who or what you’re even mad at.
How to Work With This Placement
You are prone to soaking up the feelings of those around you. You will need to learn to regulate your nervous system with tools such as walking/exercise, being in nature, emotional freedom tapping, meditation, yoga and therapy.
3. Chiron in Cancer or Virgo, Bad Luck ?
Chiron is the wounded healer, it’s the placement that shows you what your deepest wound is. Any Chiron placement is going to be challenging, but the hardest ones to carry are in Cancer and Virgo. A Cancer Chiron is a wound around believing that you are unworthy of love. A Virgo Chiron is a wound around constantly feeling broken, like there is always something wrong with you.
Past Life Astrology and Chiron: The Wounded Healer
How to Work With This Placement
The thing to keep in mind with a Chiron placement is that the process of healing the wound is lifelong. You will never reach a point where you are totally healed and will never feel pain again. Once you can accept that this is a journey, and that every healing journey has its ups and downs, the path forward becomes much less scary.
2. Sun Conjunct South Node
The south node is connected to your past life, it shows what you have already mastered. Your sun sign is the foundational building blocks of your personality and ego. So, when your sun sits closely to your south node it can be really easy to stay in your comfort zone. You run the risk of never evolving.
How to Work With This Placement
You have to learn to be ok with discomfort. Your north node points towards the type of evolutionary journey your soul wishes to go through—it’s the opposite of staying in your comfort zone. So learn about your north node and know that achieving success in that area of your life will feel uncomfortable and challenging. That means you’re doing it right!
1. Pluto Conjunct Moon
What Your Pluto Sign Says About You
Pluto, in your birthchart, symbolizes your personal transformation throughout your lifetime. Since the moon represents nurturance in early childhood, this means that overcoming the wounds of your childhood is a lifelong journey.
How to Work With This Astrology Placement
Depression and addiction are easy things to succumb to with this placement. The harder choice is to keep going, and learn how to take care of your inner child in the ways your parents couldn’t. The only way to fail is to give up, so make art, go to therapy, find your chosen family. You are here for a reason, believe that.
