♅~Notes on Uranus~ ♅
The planet Uranus is considered by those who study the planets and heavens as the odd ball of the group.Uranus actually sits in a way that is very unique to the other planetary bodies in our solar system,because it's poles are not what we see as north and south but east and west.The physical unique way Uranus rolls through the solar system is an analogy with the meaning the planet has in astrology.Most astrologers and books will say Uranus dances to it's own drum.I see it as dancing to the drum of the solar system but in a way that is abstract.
Uranus keywords are rebellion which is my favorite:) odd,unique,abstract,detached,inventive,rapid,futuristic,Prometheus(forethought) and freedom.Where Uranus is in your chart is where these keywords have power.For example My generation has Uranus in Capricorn which can be looked at and interpreted in many ways.A quick overview of what this means is that the structure of Capricorn will be broken down and reinvented with the futuristic Prometheus style thinking of the Aquarian mind coming to the Cronus boundaries of structure.My third house has a stellium with Uranus as the first planet.I am not an Aquarian but sinse the third house is the mind(In short) I think like one.Also I have a north node in Aquarius.
Uranus is the planet that brings that light bulb over the head moment of intuition and abstract creativity that we get in tune with when we are free of the structure of the Saturnian mind.
Hard aspects to Uranus can give the native a highly rebellious detrimental outlook on life where the natal knows no boundaries and rules seem to not apply in any way.The freedom mindset can manifest in ways that do not serve the native in an exalted way.The key to using hard aspects like squares and oppositions with Uranus is to channel that unique freedom loving energy into creative ways that express the unique self without hurting ones relationships or self.
Mythology-Uranus/Ouranos is the Greek sky god of the heavens.He is a Titan and one of the very first Gods.Son and lover(Weird I know lol) of Gaia the earth goddess.He is the father of the later ruiling titan Cronus.The story goes,Cronus castrated Ouranos and that led him to bleed out and leave the rulership up for grabs which was taking by the God of time,Cronus.Ouranos is the one that breaks free of all restriction of Cronus once used properly in the Natal.Also Jupiter is also the one that leads the march to freedom from the time god Cronus.

Notes on the Sun's Glyph
The Sun is the vitality of the natives chart,the primordial essence and divine spark of life.The dot which you see in the middle is that spark which I speak of and cannot be crucified(die).As a soul we never die hence the rock groups name NERD(No One Every Really Dies).Keywords to describe this would be boundless,
eternal and endless.One can also look to the esoteric symbol the Ouroborus for more detail which can be seen as the dragon eating it's tail in an endless cycle of energy sinking into it's self then transformed and rising once again.
Our prana is also linked to our sun symbol in the chart as prana is the mystical life force.There is a movie actually called Life Force and here is some more info on that (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089489/).
The life force(prana) in the natal is that dot in the circle of spirit which is the circle of the sun sign and circle of perfect divine expression of cosmic energy manifested into matter.
♆~Notes on Neptune~ ♆
Neptune is the planet that rules over dreams,illusions,the film industry,music,religious faith(blind faith),inability to see and think in a clear manner,photography and the mystical side of life that one may not be able to explain.Neptune is a planet that in astrology is like a ghost because you see it then you don't! Think of a boat riding through dense fog in the night at sea while voices echo around you.It will be hard to tell where they are coming from.
Hopefully that gives you a picture of how difficult it is to understand Neptune in it's full sense.Neptune modifies your aesthetic ability and it is the higher octave of Venus.Ruler of COSMIC LOVE and the ability to know the world in a holistic none dual state.Neptune is compassionate energy and very giving.Service to others in a spiritual way is something that Neptune does great.
Hard aspects to Neptune can effect your rationality in a way where you may be a bit dreamy and none realistic.For example I have Neptune in the third house conjunct Saturn and Uranus opposing my Sun and Mercury.At times I can get really over the top in my dream world and not see things clearly.I may plan something but too big and not see the small details that help build the big picture.I also get confused easily especially when traveling.I love writing and I feel my creativity comes alive more when I can express myself in my blogs.
Mythology-Neptune is one of the Olympians.Son of Cronus,grandson of Ouranos(Uranus) and brother of Jupiter(Zeus).After the Battle of the Gods Neptune won over the seas.
Quality-Cold/Moist/Transpersonal
Neptune physically is very far from the sun and it is considered the watery planet.It rules the cold sign Pisces of the winter.Receptive and Mysterious.
Neptune is Moist hence the watery planet but it really is a gas giant..The analogy "The Watery One" stems from the water as emotions and Neptune can sink you into a sea of emotions and dreams.
Neptune takes around 165 years to complete one Solar orbit

♃~Notes on Jupiter~♃
Jupiter is another gas giant but this Giant likes to grow and grow and well you get the picture.Where Jupiter sits your chart is where you most likely attempt to expand or where life for you has expanded consciously or unconsciously.I have a friend with Jupiter EXALTED in Cancer and he has a large large family.Considered the Greater Benefic,Jupiter also rules over luck and great gifts in the natal chart.Proud in every way this planet walks with the chin up.The Jupiter return is a return that is highly talked about by those who teach and practice Astrology.Sometimes Jupiter can expand too much and like Neptune it can go a tad bit over board..I have Jupiter in the ninth house conjunct Mercury and if you know your planets you can tell I love learning new things.Sometimes I can also go overboard and try to cram as much knowledge in my brain as unhumanly possible.I also love travel and nature.When jupiter has easy aspects Jupitarian things will come easy in life for the Native.
When jupiter has hard aspects to it the native can be over the top in every way possible.Example,Jupiter conjunct the Sun in the 5th opposing the Moon in the 11th can be very egotistical and neglect the relations that one has with friends and associates to the point that it becomes a detriment to the native.This is just an example.
Mythology-Jupiter is the King of the Gods.Son of Cronus,Brother of Neptune,Father of Pallas Athene and Husband Hera/Juno.He was the reason the other Olympians where freed from the tight grips of Cronus belly.After the Battle of the Gods Jupiter tricked Hades into winning a game for the rulership of the Heavens.
Quality-Hot/Moist/Transpersonal

Notes on Saturn
In your natal chart Saturn shows us where we feel restriction or where we feel our biggest challenges and hardships are.For example Saturn in the sixth house may feel that serving others is a duty that they dread,or it may even cause health problem in life.Saturn releases it's grips in cycles called the Saturn return.This is a concept you may be very familiar with.The first cycle is from 0-29/33.Saturn rules time,responsibility,hardship obstacles,older people,careers,the father or father figure,authority,bones,antiques and constant struggle until we get the message and use it to make our ambition come true.If Saturn's position has hard aspects attached to it one may experience problems in that area of the Natal Chart.Learning to deal with Saturn is difficult but can be done.For example I have Saturn in the third house in it's home of Capricorn.Growing up I had alot of problems with school,friends and especially relatives like my brother and sister.My father also plays a role in my Saturn placement.When Saturn is integrated in a productive way it can become wisdom especially in the house and sign it is in.
Mythology-In Greek mythology Saturn is the God Cronus.He was told that one day he would be overthrown by one of his and Rheas children so he went on to eat them.This is an analogy of time eating away at life.Cronus was overthrown by one of his sons Zeus(Jupiter).

~Notes on the MoOn~
The Moon in Astrology is our comfort zone,the ways we react emotionally towards others,what we need to feel secure and it is the reflector of our sun sign sense the moon reflects like but does not give it.One can learn a great deal about their unconscious nature by the house position and the sign your moon in place in.The Moon rules only one zodiac sign and that is cancer,the ever changing cycles are very much an analogy with this sign.In astrology we break down the cycles of the moon into 8 segments starting from new/1st/8th to full/5th/8th back to new.In between these two main cycles are 2nd/8th,3rd/8th/,4th/8th,/6th/8th/,7th/8th to the final 8th segment.
If you were born at night your Natal Chart is ruled heavily by the moon and is called a Nocturnal chart.The moon shift signs very fast in about 2.5 days..You can track your transit moon through the signs to get a feel of how this energy effects your daily activity and judge best when certain activities are in favor of good vibes..
Mythology-Diana/the Goddess of the Hunt.
Artemis/Goddess of the hunt.In greek mythology is is depicted in three stages of the lunar cycle.Artemis,Selene and Hecate.I view Hecate as Lilith due to her connection with spells and magic ritual.
~Notes on Mars~
Mars in your chart shows where alot of your energy and focus goes.Like every planet Mars has a higher octave which is Pluto. Mars governs many things,for example your initiative,fight or flight response and sexual energy as well.For females Mars shows more of what kind of partner you may be attracted to.For females mars also shows your masculine qualities and how you take intiative.For men mars is your direct drive and how you display your masculine energy.When mars is placed in a sign like Cancer it will not functions as well as Mars in Capricorn/Exaltation because it is in it's Fall position.The thing about Mars in it's fall is that it gives the native a highly sensitive nature and they may be very compassionate and gentle.When we get angry you can say we are activating the martian energy in our natal chart.
Mythology-Aries/Ares is the god of war in Greek myths.He is one of the Olympians son of Zeus.
Mars takes around 23 earths months to orbit our Star.
