UNASPECTED PLANETS


There is an unwillingness to assert yourself so that people take
full advantage of your position. You lack a sense of your
adequacy and have serious doubt that you can ever be effective in
achieving goals in this life. But you don't really care if you succeed or
not. Your interests will be mainly in the area indicated by the sign your
Sun occupies as wall as its house position (in a natal chart).


This is a rare aspect but does occur. It can indicate a volatile and
emotional nature. The individual can be temperamental and it may
be difficult dealing with these people. They can be overly-
protective and instead of nurturing people and looking after them, they
can be obsessive and discourage people from interacting with them.


The problem with an unaspected Mercury (or because of its
proximity to the Sun) is the lack of interest in communication.
This then becomes one of the indicators of the so-called silent
type person. It is simply difficult for this person to engage in dialogue or
any other form of contact that requires some kind of social exchange. Or
can babble on at the most inopportune moments, knowing they should
keep quiet, but unable too.

 With this planet unaspected there is much stress involved when

conditions require some kind of social participation. There is
usually an indifferent attitude in situations requiring some kind of
compromise with something like "I don't want to get involved" the only
comment, which suggests an uncaring attitude.
 In the struggle to achieve objectives Mars is the symbol of the

 mobilized physical resources usually brought into play. With an

unaspected Mars, this person can never find enough energy to
handle the simplest kinds of tasks. Though this person may appear
indolent or lazy, the fact is that he or she just cannot get excited enough
about a situation to do very much about it. Because of this, he or she can
be the victim of those who prey on the weak or apathetic but if situated in
the first house, can suggest sudden flare ups maybe even of tempers and
rages!


The world of the person whose Jupiter is unaspected is
considerably smaller than it is for others simply because there is
resistance to the process of growth, figuratively speaking. There
is often reticence about getting involved in matters that allow him or her to
expand the consciousness or to explore new worlds of social and
intellectual interests. Social withdrawal is not uncommon in this condition.


The means by which one establishes his or her credentials is largely
diminished in its influence when Saturn is unaspected. Saturn is
essential for mobilizing personal resources in a program to fulfill the
ambitions. Such a person therefore has great difficulty getting his or her
act together through careful planning and methodical implementation.
What may develop is a strong defense mechanism to justify the lack of
any goals-seeking apparatus.


Tradition is a way of life for the person with an unaspected
Uranus. There is an inability to see beyond today or to
understand why change is simply an indication of a growing
process that most frequently improves on conditions it replaces If most of
the wor1d’s peop1e had this condition in their charts, it would be next to
impossible to conduct a revolution, no matter what the provocation.
Nostalgia forms a major consideration in the lives of these people and it is
often the only one.


Neptune unaspected indicates someone who is unable (or
unwilling) to respond to the social problems that may prevail in his
or her environment. This kind of social indifference is indicative of
the subconscious anxiety over conditions that may one day entrap this
person and cause him or her to be victimized. This person is commonly
heard to say at the time of elections, "It makes no difference whom I vote
for because it’s always the same types who get elected anyway." A
feature of this planetary condition is the way this person is often the
victim of the very condition he or she tolerates.


The person with an unaspected Pluto is similar to a particular
species of animal, that became extinct through a refusal or an
inability to adapt to changing circumstances. This means that
un1ess he or she is willing to make the massive adjustments often
necessary, survival is virtually impossible. This person fails to notice that
there is a kind of commitment everyone has to make in contributing to
universal welfare to assure the survival of the many through the
contribution of everyone, without exception.
 UNOCCUPIED QUALITIES OR ELEMENTS

LACK OF PLANETS IN;

C
ardinal Signs
There is a diminished ability to take advantage of circumstances
for persona1 benefit. Since the Cardina1 signs enhance the
executive-response mechanism to make the most of a particular situation,
this low key individual fails to take note of the most glaring opportunity.

F
ixed Signs
The ability to stay on course is extremely difficult without planets
in at least one of the Fixed signs. Consequently, life tends to
follow no important direction, and it is painfully difficult to realize any
objective without a major strugg1e.

M
utable Signs
This would indicate someone who was unable to make even the
most simplest adjustments to changing circumstances in life. This
kind of inflexibi1ity can be troub1esome in the pattern of ever-changing
conditions that prevail today.
 LACK OF PLANETS IN

F
ire
The fires of enthusiasm and creative spirit burn weakly in this
individual. This dispirited person can't get too excited over
anything no matter how thri11ing it might be to everyone else.
Despondency and pessimism are not uncommon, and it would take a very
active Sun or Mars in the chart to compensate for this predicament.

E
arth
This shows a decided inability to get too excited about life's
realities, especially when they make heavy demands in personal
accountabi1ity and participation. What often happens is that this person
feels out of touch with the real world and, as the song suggests, would
prefer to "stop the world, I want to get off".

A
ir
Because this person is so preoccupied with creative functions,
emotional involvements or the realities of life, the matters requiring
rational or thoughtful consideration are usually given little attention or
dismissed entirely. The judgment is that all attention is a1ready
overburdened with more pressing considerations. This person is often
intimidated by contemplative individuals and frequently chastises them
“for all your high-falutin intellectual nonsense "

W ater
This missing Element can prove deeply troublesome because
it denies a suitable platform from which to adequately ventilate
the emotional problems the individual may encounter at different time in
life. Other people may distrust someone who cannot express any
sympathetic understanding for them in their time of distress. This missing
element is probably the most difficult one for which to develop some
effective kind of suitable compensation through alternative means.
