Are You Missing
Planets in One Element?
What
happens when you count all the planets in each element and one type is
missing? Some astrologers claim that you are missing whatever it is
that the particular element rules. For instance, if you have no
planets in water signs in your horoscope, they would say that
you can't express emotions (some even say that you have no
emotions!). If you have no planets in earth signs, they would
tell you that you are impractical. And if you have no planets in Air
Signs, you are not supposed to communicate too well or do much
writing.
Well Bill
Gates, world's
richest man and the founder of Microsoft, has no planets in Earth
Signs. Impractical? Not worldly? What are those superficial
interpretations missing? If a sign that belongs to that missing
element happens to sit on one of the Angles
of your horoscope (the Ascendant, Mid-Heaven, Descendant, or Nadir)
you can make up for that deficit big time. Gates?horoscope, the Earth
Sign Capricorn, appears on the Descendant. Capricorn
specifically rules organizational ability, efficiency, and
persistence. It is said that Gates thinks that taking a vacation is a
sign of weakness and that time off for him means time to catch up on
his reading.
On the other hand, Hillary
Clinton has
no planets in Earth signs either, and no Earth signs on any of
the angles. Well, the national health plan she came up with was
a little impractical.
When an element is missing in a
horoscope, it may mean that certain traits are weak. But it may also
mean that the person just doesn't consider them important. Sometimes
this could lead to overcompensation. The person knows that there is a
weakness and tries to overcome it. For instance, lack of planets in Earth
Signs could just mean the ideals are so high that they may never
be capable of being realized on Earth. Or that there is a lack of
concern with practical, day-to-day matters.
As for the other missing elements
and qualities:
Lack of Fire Signs can
mean lack of assertiveness or the person may overcompensate by trying
to appear super macho. J.
Edgar Hoover had no
planets in fire signs and he seemed aggressive enough, at least when
he wasn't wearing a dress. He had Aries on his Nadir to increase
activity.
Lack of Air Signs
occurs in the horoscope of
the Rev. Jim
Jones. He had the
Air sign Libra on his Mid-Heaven which increased his
"charm". His led his followers into mass suicide in Guyana.
Actor Sal
Mineo had no air
whatsoever and he made his living communicating. What lack of air
really means is a dislike of "small talk". Every word has to
be significant.
Lack of Water Signs
is not necessarily lack of emotion. Muhammed
Ali has no water
planets but the Water sign Scorpio
is on his Nadir giving intense emotions. Mick
Jagger, on the other
hand, has no water whatsoever. He has been accused of being
indifferent to the emotions of his wives.
