I have Mercury in Pisces, which is classified as both “debilitated” and “fallen”. I used to think that was unfortunate, until some years ago I found out that Einstein also had Mercury in Pisces 🤓
Thank you, Frank, for always clarifying with such ease and grace many of the misconceptions and negative interpretations about signs, placements etc. 😊🙏🌸
Thank you so much Frank!! Loving your approach and how beautifully you articulate the magnificence and plethora of possibilities there are to discover in the oracle. I adore you!!! 🙏💖✨
Frank’s answer was so enlightening to me. I was the final chart he commented on in this post (“Ellen’s chart”). Being an astrologer, it’s so easy to see the doom and gloom of your chart. But Frank turned my empathetic wound into spiritual empowerment. Thank you!
Thank you so much Frank and Astrology Hub. As an Inner Circle student it is wonderful to have so many opportunities to learn from Frank. I love the way Frank described his experience in Turkey- humorous but perfectly illustrative with the presenter acting out what he was projecting onto Frank's chart! I love my Venus in Virgo right on my Ascendent. With Sun and Moon in Leo my Venus gives me the ability to focus and see and seek "perfection" in the beauty of music and the Leo makes me a natural performer.
So illuminating! I have Saturn in Libra, square (Venus cazimi) Sun in wide conjunction to Uranus, all in Cancer, with Moon conjunct Pluto in between them in late Leo (8th house). Mars in Scorpio. I used to view all that Scorpionic influence, and the squares and conjunctions, as "doomed" to struggle . Now, at nearly 70, I am peaceful + happy. I now realize that Mars in Scorpio helped me persevere. Lots of cardinal energy allowed me to get up when I'd been knocked down. Cancer and Scorpio made me crave emotional depth and refuse to have a superficial existence, even though I was taught very superficial values. And I love what you said about a dominating parent....I won't even go there! thanks so very much, brilliant
Thank you 🙏 Frank for always be so clear and harmonious in your explanations! I simply love your approach to astrology and completely identify myself with. Please continue to bring your clarity to us🤩✨😘
I love this, and I especially appreciate how Frank elaborated on the Sun/Pluto conjuctions, because I've got one in my chart as well (and in my 10th house, too, like the lady whose chart he used as an example) and until now I didn't really know what to make of it. :D Thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate the non fear, non negative based approach. The information out there is overwhelming while first learning astrology. You simplified and clarified some of it.
Thank you Frank Clifford that was beautiful said. So clearifying , like these are the tools you are born with, learn to use them in the best way. I’m a sun 7 inLeo with pluto at 24 not really conjunction but my moon in Leo as well conjunct pluto at 18! Also Saturn sq my sun. I for sure don’t run away from any circumstances maybe I even should have done so. I worked as a counsler as well not anymore. People really don’t want to change and see the possibilities. Love you Frank one of my feedback to astrology is exactly what you talked about. Me as a counsler know about how sensitive people are but lots of astrologers just go on with their talk like “ this is the truth” . I for sure have a strong “ I” that’s needed in many situations especially in certain situations. woaw First person Frank who really clearly explained this to me. Light Energies🌟
I remember Rick Levine mentioning how a Mars in Cancer is a person who is action oriented and protective around the home/tradition, etc. Like a Mama Bear... willing to fight for her family. Not weak but with different priorities. Also Mars in Cancer is a good placement for working/business at home. Rick also mentioned that astrology was originally developed by men FOR men with a specifically toxic male perspective (also primarily for kings and very wealthy men of the court ... so ancient view is quite sexist/classist. What is wrong about being action oriented around family and home? Nothing. But for men who want to be warriors or breadwinners many years in the past Mars in Cancer would seem emasculating.) Also - It is only recently within the last 100 years or so that the Astrological focus has been on the psychology of a person. In the past, the idea that a person would have the choice to make decisions independant of their family, culture, societal position, etc would be unthinkable. So they used the chart primarily for electional and horary purposes, rather than natal - naval-gazing.
@@lizadeeza thank you! I listened to that episode with Rick and that analogy really resonated. I was a lifeguard and swim instructor in my early years and never felt more comfortable and empowered floating with youth and teaching them to feel safe and comfortable in the water. I thought YES! My Mars in Cancer in the 11th being productive! Until I heard Rick speak encouragingly about it I thought it’s only purpose was to get weepy when angry or to just to give up on any metaphoric “battle” I’ve been trying to look at it differently as it is there to serve and help me learn in this lifetime.
Venus in Aries, in the 11th house? This makes me curious about your mercury 🤓 🤔... I just re-listened, not only to get a chance to absorb more of your voice and your message ... but to hear your voice as well. Quite soothing tones.

My Mars is in Libra, Sun in aqua/Pisces, moon in cancer/Gemini, and my rising in Scorpio/ Sagittarius. I can honestly say I love to help situations work out for everybody and I avoid confrontation that I know is not a good use of my energy. HOWEVER, the shadow of Mars in Libra is Psychosis in Human Design, so I tend to give people a chance to realize who they are fucking with by warning them that I’m crazier than a shit house rat, usually they change their tune but if they don’t I know I won’t feel bad when I fuck them up. 🤣
Frank mentioned that when a planet is combust - that it becomes a core part of your identity. So Saturn gives and maintains structure and is the mentor that gives life lessons - often in a quite "hardass" sort of way. But like Anne Ortalee says, if you follow your Saturn - you inevitably are aligning yourself with deep life purpose. Having it in exploratory Sagittarius which loves to learn/study the world, philosophy, cultures, languages - travel the many realms of existence in the 8th house. You could be learning your lessons or teaching/studying the themes of the 8th - occult, finance (other people's money), depth in human relationships/connection. Lots of juicy stuff here. I suggest you dig in all the meanings of the eighth and see what resonates as far as study/exploration ... this is potentially where you will learn the most about who you are and want to be in life.
Interestingly enough, I have an MBA in Finance and was a CfO of an art museum. Now retired I dive into Astrology as a student. Now in year 2 of a Hellenistic Astrology program. I appreciate your input.
Love. Love. Love this. I wish more astrologers would talk about how damaging the "terms" we use can be. Thank you for this video.

Teaching at its best. Thank you!
Made me feel so much better about my Mars in Libra! Thank you now I can focus more on that strength instead of being slow to act. 👍🏾
Love your perspective on these negative-sounding terms. I agree wholeheartedly! 😘

I have a wet and depressed Mars in Cancer co-present with a combust Mercury. What a nice way to look at it. Thank you, always!

Thank you for doing this video! I have Sun Venus Mars combust in Capricorn 2nd house, and what you said so resonated!
Thank you so much for this! It really touched my mars in libra placement in the 10th house lol:)

Saturn in the 8th 17° Sagittarius ♐ 🤪 ✨ 😎 my Sun is 20° 8th in Sagittarius...is Saturn combust and what does that mean?
