Uranus is the first dominant in Elisabeth Sladen’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Uranus is known as the “Great Awakener” and is associated with sudden changes, innovation, and rebellion. As the first dominant in Elisabeth Sladen’s chart, Uranus indicates that she is a trailblazer and is not afraid of change. She is likely to be independent, unique, and always ready for something new.

This planet symbolizes the principle of independence and self-sufficiency, as well as a principle of transformation. Its most striking characteristic is distance from others: the Uranian strives to stand out from the herd, distanced from structuring influences like convention, tradition, etc. Although this need to free yourself from the confines of convention, tradition, and family symbolizes an appeal for freedom and a desire to evolve beyond the bounds of physical limits toward a spiritual dimension, it may also correspond to a form of escape.

This is why Sladen sometimes needs to cut herself off from situations or relationships which feel stifling to her. Her intense fear of being swallowed up psychologically causes her to react to certain emotional demands by making herself remote or running away. She needs a lot of space and frequent change. In a relationship, she is seeking a certain degree of intellectual excitement. Without it, she feels as though an unbearable, suffocating boredom sets in.

By refusing certain concessions to convention which are practically inevitable, Sladen may find herself in unpleasant situations. Finding an intelligent alternative to the routine set by the rigid forms of the past is extremely different from rebelling against any form of authority, in the settings of family, school, business, or society. One of the major problems she has to solve is how to wield her freedom, in her emotional relationships, as well as her relationships with society.

Neptune is the second dominant in Elisabeth Sladen’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Neptune is a powerful planet, and its influence is felt strongly in Elisabeth Sladen’s chart. This planet governs intuition, creativity, and imagination, and it is said to bestow great artistic talent. Neptune is also associated with spirituality, and it is said to bring a higher understanding of the universe.

This planet is the quintessential symbol of individual receptivity and the fundamental reactions of the unconscious, including the collective unconscious. Opposed to Saturn, which is the principle of form, structure, and limitation, Neptune is a principle of dissolution. It concerns any effort to encompass the greatest variety of factors, any tendency to surround and blend all the narrow, individual points of view into a single, universal sea.

Psychologically, the Neptunian effect is expressed as an exceptional psychic flexibility and extreme pliancy. I thus display considerable receptivity and availability. I feel a need for unity, a need to be related. I am also deeply aware of the importance of dreaming, and, negatively, may be prone to delusions.

At certain times, I am overwhelmed by a feeling of subtle confusion related to a need for “something else.” When my well-being is disturbed this way, I either yield to a sort of passive, apathetic dissatisfaction, or lose myself in the search for an imaginary world, perhaps to escape or plunge into bliss.

I am sometimes captivated by a need for illusion; I would like to experience change through the intermediary of events which are vaster than consciousness and would take me far from routine and daily banality. Nevertheless, usually these fantastic dreams only make me all the more painfully aware of the realities of everyday life. My spirit and emotions emerge confused, and my will is sometimes weakened.

Mercury is the third dominant in Elisabeth Sladen’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

According to Greek myth, Mercury (or Hermes, whose name derives etymologically from the piles of rocks which marked trails and guided travelers) was the messenger of the gods. He carried orders from Olympus to the mortals on Earth. The child of the illegitimate union of Zeus with Maia, Mercury was born “unknown to the immortal gods” and had to win his place among them by trickery, cleverness, and cunning. This is why he became the vagabond deity of travelers and wanderers.

He is the instinctive foe of the settled who see him as an outcast roaming on the outskirts of society: a pariah, a thief, and a swindler. As ruler of the sign of Gemini, the Twins, he symbolizes the brother—the alter-ego who teaches us as much as we teach him and is associated with adolescence, a period of intense intellectual discovery.

Mercury thus symbolizes lively, sparkling wit, mobility in any form, mental exchange, and interaction. As a result, a person strongly ruled by Mercury is quite likely to be clever and skillful.

If Mercury is “afflicted” in one’s chart, their intellectual velocity may sometimes become mere mental hyperactivity.

In any case, these skills are a great resource in the social realm. Elisabeth Sladen communicates easily and effectively, orally or in writing. Her ability to unite and transmit would be a good resource in diplomatic or commercial endeavors.

The eleventh house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Sladen’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

Traditionally, this sector of the astral chart was related to the world of friendship. It thus reigns over friends, group projects and aspirations, publicity, politics in a humanitarian cause, customers, hope, help, and assistance. More specifically, this sector symbolizes the power and gratification society grants to an individual in exchange for career activities. For each person, this power is a function of their capacity to work and produce something valuable to the community to which they belong (the country, corporation, etc.).

This power may either be used for selfish ends or be re-invested for the elaboration of more cooperative social projects.

From a psychological viewpoint, people with a prominent eleventh house in their birth chart may have to concentrate on being fair and objective in relation to social successes and/or failures. Success could entail efficient use of the power and prestige Sladen has already obtained for more significant projects which are in better harmony with their inner truth.

Failure, on the other hand, requires a detailed analysis of its causes. Any mistakes that Sladen may have made are an opportunity for insight. The work of understanding and assuming one’s failures is a positive, constructive way out of a situation of failure.

The fifth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Sladen’s theme, because it contains several planets, including the one which rules her rising sign. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
