Mars being the first dominant in North West’s astral chart signifies that North West is a natural leader. They are always pushing themselves to be the best and they have a lot of energy and enthusiasm. North West is also very competitive and likes to take risks. They are always up for a challenge and they are always looking for new ways to grow and improve.
In the Greek tradition, Mars or Aries was the god of war. Traditional astrology associates him with the element fire, the color red, and the taste of bitterness. Although it also symbolizes the elder brother in the cosmic family, it is more likely to be associated with declared enemies or adversaries. Martian morphology is typically virile, angular, and athletic and corresponds to aggressive, domineering, masculine behavior. Likewise, Mars is usually associated with rage, its resultant brutality, and male destructiveness and domination.
Psychologically, Mars figures in any situation of conflict, opposition, and confrontation. Martian symbolism intervenes to separate, oppose, and decide and corresponds to duels, war, and any situation in real life which involves confronting an obstacle. Individuals who are greatly influenced by Mars are typically direct and straightforward—either unabashedly extroverted or furiously introverted. They are extremely active and extremely emotive. Their purpose in life seems to be inextricably mingled with a combat against an unacceptable situation, a challenge which they either issue or are forced to accept.
The sun is the second dominant in North West’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:
As the heart of the solar system and the gravitational center of the travels of the earth and the other planets, the sun is the primordial light, the source of all warmth and life. From the dawn of humanity, it has been worshipped. It has symbolized the absolute power kings and despots yearn for and emulate. The sun king, the nucleus of society, embodied a principle of cohesion and harmony.
Various subordinates—aka planets—revolved around it. In terms of psychological symbolism, the sun corresponds to the center of an individual, the factor that rules your psyche. Its luminous aspects are usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it is related to the image of the mother and the influence of motherhood on an individual’s consciousness and ideals. As a result, the sun’s position in a birth chart always indicates the way in which an individual will relate to your goals and ideals, what your ambitions and aspirations might involve.
A person whose chart is strongly “solar” usually identifies very positively with motherhood. North West’s personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. North West takes North West’s own superiority and authority over others for granted, and North West has a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. North West is a born leader who enjoys being in the limelight and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration.
North West has definite artistic leanings. The sense of North West’s ideals is evident to North West and may lead North West to be somewhat self-focused. If ill-directed, North West’s deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.
Jupiter is the third dominant in North West’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:
Jupiter is said to be the planet of good luck, and its presence in an astral chart is said to be a sign of good fortune. As the third dominant planet in North West’s chart, Jupiter brings its luck and good fortune to bear on all areas of their life.
In traditional astrology, Jupiter has always been considered as the Great Benefactor, the planet of luck and success such as personal fortune, social prominence, professional prestige, high political position. The Jupiterian bounty is peerless! In psychological terms, this planet has a much vaster significance. As the biggest planet in the solar system, it does preside over the process of personal expansion, interpreted to be fitting into society better and finding an appropriate match between one’s individual ambitions and the aspirations of the group.
This growth is accompanied by a feeling of self-confidence, which, in turn, buoys up an even greater externalization and expansion of the ego – hence the planet’s flattering reputation. But this snowball effect (Jupiter smiles and the world smiles with you), in which social skills magnify confidence and boldness reaps many rewards, betrays the negative side of Jupiter: extreme and excess.
Although grandeur was the characteristic of the “king of the gods,” errors of judgment, poor taste, and sometimes selfishness and pride are also likely to be part of the Jupiterian package. It is important to note that the extension of the ego may be a form of escape; it is tempting to hide behind one’s popularity and social success, which are fairly easy to obtain, rather than be really demanding with oneself. The Jupiterian has a tendency to amplify qualities out of compensation, to avoid seeing weaknesses and flaws. As a result, North West must be aware of the risk of over-identifying with your social mask, which would cause you to neglect your inner self and deep nature.
The eighth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in North West’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
According to tradition, this house is associated with the sign of Scorpio, and thus the themes of death, metamorphosis, and sexuality. It is also related to birth and initiation, and, in more practical terms, inheritances, legacies, and debts. More specifically, the area is related to the idea of partnership resources. It raises such issues as the management of a collective heritage and the administration of assets acquired in association with another person, and the sharing out, psychologically and materially, of these resources in marriage and business partnerships.
As a result, three interdependent but fundamental factors inherent to initiating any mutually beneficial partnership are emphasized: trust, management, and responsibility. Obviously, a partnership devoid of trust is dangerous, if not impossible.
Only when true trust and mutual confidence are established can a cooperative activity yield profit. The next step is managing the profit (or loss) resulting from the cooperative enterprise: sharing it out equally between the partners, or re-investing it in view of making the enterprise more profitable. The responsibility of the manager (and any participant who is a co-manager) is obviously engaged, because it would be unethical for North West to keep any of the wealth generated by the group’s activities for North West’s own personal benefit. North West must also be responsible enough not to flee in case of difficulty.
Sexuality, which is an asset or resource of the couple, can be thought of according to the same dynamic. If sexual problems arise, if they are not due to physiological problems, they are always related either to a loss of mutual confidence, to mismanagement of the physical and psychological exchange, or to an insufficient sense of duty on the part of one of the partners.
Due to the significance of this area in North West’s astral chart, North West may encounter one of these issues. It will be vital for North West to become truly conscious of what is at stake in North West’s partnerships. As a result, North West will have to evaluate the wealth North West acquire as a result of North West’s relationships and measure the power conferred upon North West by North West’s participation in intimate, social, or professional relationships.
The seventh house is an area of the sky which is especially important in North West’s theme, because it contains several planets, including the one which rules North West’s rising sign. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
