Elevation by Placement
This occurs in two different forms.
- Any star domiciled in the 1st or 10th Houses.
- The domicile master (not the domicile ruler) is located in the 1st or 10th Houses
The first form is the opposite of a star being afflicted (maltreated) by being domiciled in the 6th or 12th Houses. The second form is based on the concept of counteraction by placement and is exactly opposite the form of affliction where the domicile master (not the domicile ruler) is placed in the 6th or 12th Houses.
Elevation by House
Ally Sheedy
Pretty straight forward. Jupiter domiciled in the Pisces 10th House is elevated. Mercury domiciled in the Gemini 1st House is elevated. Sun is elevated by virtue of being in the 1st House and not counteracted by a bad placement by Mercury who is stationary on Day+7 (turning direct).
Having three elevated stars doesn’t make one’s life perfect. And it doesn’t always guarantee happiness. If you’re wondering how an elevated Jupiter as domicile ruler and master of the 7th House can result in divorce it’s because you ignored the Venus right square Moon.
Note Saturn in the Aquarius 9th House in a right square to afflicted Mars in the 12th House and Mars opposition the Lot of Fortune in the 6th House. That’s an indicator of addiction. Venus as domicile ruler and master of the Taurus 12th House being in the 2nd House does not counteract the very bad placement of Mars.
Elevation by Counteraction
John Glenn
Capricorn Moon sits in the 2nd House which is a house without advantage. Domicile master Saturn in the 10th House elevates Moon through counteraction by placement.
Moon opposition Mars is constant danger. Capricorn Moon opposition Cancer Mars is mutual reception by house-exaltation indicating Glenn voluntarily placed himself in constant danger. Capricorn Moon opposition Cancer Mars on the 2nd/8th House Axis tells us he was in constant danger of death as does Moon as domicile master of Cancer 8th and Mars as domicile master of the Scorpio 12th House.
Glenn volunteered for combat duty in WW II flying fifty-seven (57) combat missions. Glenn volunteered for combat duty in China immediately after WW II and flew an unknown number of combat missions. Glenn volunteered to go to Korea and flew sixty-three (63) combat missions during his first tour-of-duty in the Korean War. He volunteered to go back flying twenty-seven (27) combat missions shooting down three enemy aircraft. Afterward, he volunteered to be a test-pilot flying experimental aircraft no one was even sure would fly or stand up to the rigors of aerial maneuvers, then later volunteered to be an astronaut.
He never so much as suffered a scratch.
That’s because:
- Moon is elevated
- Moon is in Capricorn in opposition to Cancer instead of being in Cancer
- Moon and Mars are both in the bounds of Jupiter
- Jupiter aspects his bounds in Cancer and Capricorn
- Jupiter is in good condition in spite of the fact that the good placement of both Jupiter and Saturn is counteracted by the poor placement of Mercury in the 8th House.
Saturn’s condition in this chart is good. Saturn is an earth trigon ruler so Saturn is comfortable in earth signs. Saturn is a diurnal star in a nocturnal sign ruled by a diurnal star, that being fellow sect-mate Mercury. Saturn is in the bounds of Jupiter who is also in good condition.
Saturn in such a state indicates things that are durable and long lasting. Saturn is the domicile master of the Gemini 7th House which is why his marriage lasted 73 years. Was it a perfect marriage? No, but but it was a good marriage. Saturn square the 1st House also grants longevity when Saturn is in good condition and Glenn died at the age of 95 with his wife of 73 years and both children and both grandchildren at his beside.
Jupiter is not in “detriment” in Virgo but we can’t use this chart to disprove the stupid “detriment” nonsense because Jupiter and Mercury are in mutual reception by exaltation-exaltation (Virgo being the exaltation of Mercury and Cancer the exaltation of Jupiter).
Can a planet be elevated if it’s ruled by an out-of-sect mate? For example, in a diurnal chart with Saturn and Jupiter in Taurus H7 with the domicile master and ruler being Venus in H10 (Leo)? Venus is in a diurnal sign, meanwhile Jupiter and Taurus are in a nocturnal sign.
Hello, RisingMars and welcome. The short answer is yes. Sect plays no role.
Venus will elevate Jupiter-Saturn. Some call it bonification or glorification. It’s all the same thing. In this instance you’d expect Jupiter-Saturn to function better for better or worse. Stars that are elevated function a lot like retrograde planets. They usually do good but if they’re positioned to do bad the bad will be that much worse. The same can be said for afflicted stars. Afflicted stars usually do harm but sometimes they can prevent things from happening or more likely mitigate any damage.
Jupiter-Saturn work well when co-present in the same sign. Saturn as an earth trigon ruler is comfortable in Taurus. Jupiter not so much, but they still do good things.
Yes, since Venus is the domicile ruler of Taurus, Venus counteracts by sect but that’s a minor ding. So, you have an elevated Jupiter ruling the Pisces 5th, and elevated Saturn ruling the Capricorn 3rd and Aquarius 4th. You’ll need to find the domicile lord of the Sagittarius 2nd House. Jupiter is still the domicile ruler of the 2nd House but has no control over it.
Venus in the 10th, for career, you look at Mercury, Venus and Mars, which one culminates first and is also in the 10th, 6th or 2nd in that order (the 6th is in a right trine to the 10th), to find your career field. No, it won’t tell you which one of the 54,495 jobs listed on NAICS or O*NET but it will narrow it down to about 98 career fields.
That’s interesting, so it happens that this chart has two planets elevated plus the Moon in the 12th, also ruled by Venus. It also happens that Venus turned stationary the exact day of birth, and is very conjunct MC. Sun masters the 2nd, in Virgo copresent with Mercury, and Jupiter masters the 10th.
All of this to say, this native’s career is not Venusian at all and very mercurial. Could a planet in the 11th say more about one’s profession than one in the actual 10th, given the Jupiter-Saturn right trine?
Feel free for anyone to correct me, but I believe the 10th mainly tells you how your career goes, what affects your career, what affects your reputation and social rank and things like that but not exactly the career itself.
It seems to me that the 10th house is also career itself-this and of course the master of the 10th house.
I’d be curious to learn when a natal points to things rather than people present in a native’s life since the authors of this website mentioned that a natal chart is about all people influencing native’s fate (whether a native comes to meet them or not) but planets can talk about things as well.
I see.
Hey, Aleksandra. I’ve been doing this since 1992. I know a few 100 astrologers. I don’t know anyone who sits down and reads a chart. I print the chart and makes handwritten notes and marks on the chart. I’ll go back a 2nd time and look at bound rulers, antiscia and 12th parts. I do the Lots last but I know people who do the Lots the first time thru or the 2nd time thru. You can do them whenever you want. I often look at other charts for comparison. You have a star in a particular bound casting antiscia to a particular place, how’d that work out? That can help you figure things out.
It takes time but eventually it all comes together.
Hi, RisingMars, again I think that has to do with the fact that the chart is wrong because it’s for the southern hemisphere.
In the beginning, there are no signs. It’s just constellations and the first four constellations were Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Those are the largest signs. Pisces spans 44° and Virgo 40° of the skies. The next group were Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. That last group were Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn and they’re the smallest constellations. Aries only spans 26° of the sky.
You use the IAU (International Astronomer’s Union) website because in 1922 they changed all the constellations including the boundaries of the constellations. They also separated the fixed-stars that were co-mingled so that the fixed-stars in the constellation Taurus no longer fall in the constellation Aries and those of Capricorn do not fall in the constellation Aquarius.
Sometime late in the 8th Century or early 7th Century BCE the Assyrians create a fixed 12-month civil calendar based on the seasons. That calendar was used exclusively by government to collect tributes from vassal kings of city-states and taxes from their subjects and by business for fulfillment of contracts and collection of interest payments.
A century later in the 600s, somebody creates the tropical zodiac by fixing the constellations at 30° and attaching the sign to the civil calendar. The Summer Solstice in the southern hemisphere occurs in Capricorn, not Cancer so their chart should be the opposite of a chart cast for someone in the northern hemisphere. Two Greeks mention that the bounds are turned 180° for charts cast for the southern hemisphere and the only way that makes sense is to reverse the signs.
To prove or disprove that, I’d need 3,000 charts and that’s 30-50 hours per week per chart to read the chart and then use 3 different primary predictive methods to make sure life events match the chart and I just don’t have the time or the luxury of doing that.
That’s why we need to live longer. Live longer, so we have more time to learn and understand. There are so many mysteries out there just waiting to be understood.
What puzzles me is the scientific base for astrology ’cause clearly there is such if what we see in the form of symbols plays out wit striking precision in real lives. Perhaps, as we better understand how this operates, just like doctors, people in the future could actually do something to reverse shitty charts instead accepting senseless suffering and rationalazing it as “karma” etc. I see no point in undeserved suffereing that countless human did go through, go through and will go through.
Hey, Aleksandra, if there is a scientific explanation it rests with black-body radiation.
So every object that has mass emits black-body radiation. The only difference is the frequencies.
Sun, Moon and the 5 planets all emit black-body radiation in the radio and microwave bands of the electromagnetic spectrum and it either positively or negatively impacts things on Earth. That is proven by science.
Oh, have you heard Saturn scream? We have an audio tape from JPL (Jet Propulsion Labs) of Saturn screaming. If you were listening to the radio you’d hear what Saturn sounds like. We definitely have to get that up.
Uranus, Pluto, the minor planets and asteroids also emit black-body radiation but only in the infrared bands and it doesn’t reach Earth. Even the near-Earth asteroids that emit infrared it doesn’t reach Earth.
Neptune does emit very low frequency radio waves. How do we know? It’s 1985. Voyager II is flying by Uranus. No radio waves are detected. They decide to sling-shot Voyager II out to Neptune.
4 and a half years later — it’s 1989 now — Voyager II is nearing Neptune and detects very faint low frequency radio waves. Once Voyager II passes Neptune it no longer detects and them and of course now Voyager II is leaving the solar system.
If there’s a scientific basis, my guess is it rests with the fact that those radio and microwaves emitted by the Lights and 5 Planets affect Earth and things living on it.
One other thing of note. We know the Jupiter-Saturn cycle affects Sun and solar activity including climate on Earth but the Outer Planets have no effect.
