DECANS
e decans form a very ancient system, which dates back to 3,000 BCE. e
zodiac signs are subdivided into groups of four in accordance with the
elements of earth, air, water and re and the triplicities of cardinal, xed and
mutable.
While the basis of astrology came from the Sumerians, decans were
formed by the Egyptians who divided months into three ten-day periods,
each comprising one decan.
Decans were crucial to ancient civilisations who used them to nd or
devise treatment methods for illnesses, to make decisions about the dates of
waging a war, and to ascertain the destiny of a newborn baby.
As an example, a person born on 25 March has the Sun at 3 degrees of
Aries and is of the rst decan of Aries. Mars attributes the characteristics of
quick-temperament, aggression venturesome and fearlessness to that person.
e individual would always want to take all, but not give anything. If he
cannot succeed in acquiring what he wants, his fury affects all around him.
e intense energy of Mars in this rst decan gives its members certain
discomforts like headaches, high blood pressure, and discomforts of the
teeth and palate as well as eyes.
Ancient civilisations learned how to treat a number of illnesses by using
plants. For instance, they used anise, raisins, camomile, mint, carnations and
willow leaves to treat headaches. Plane tree leaves, vinegar, carnation, thyme,
rosemary, fennel and salt were used to treat toothache, while for the
treatment of dizziness they used chickpea juice, pear, barley juice, lemon
and rose water. For eye pain, rose, fennel, camomile, and pomegranate were
used.

THE SIGNS
 ARIES
21 MARCH - 9 APRIL
 x

Element: Fire
Character: Leader
Ruling planet: Mars
House: First
Skills: Lively, desire to win, fearless
Anatomy: Head and face
Major goals: Being undefeatable and top at everything
General characteristics: Liveliness, dynamism, willingness to be the centre
of attention and fearlessness. People belonging to this sign are quick-
tempered, which is shown by the fact that they can easily be annoyed, and
equally that they very quickly calm down. Childhood naivety is embedded
deep in their hearts. ey make enemies very easily as they say what they
think unhesitatingly and directly, preferring to do so to peoples’ faces rather
than talking behind their back. ey also sometimes upset people for no
reason. Interestingly, they may defend some people for no reason as well.
Since they know who their enemies are, they are always ready to ght
them. ey are instinctively ghters and soldiers with leadership qualities
and incredible self-con dence, for they always wholeheartedly say, “I will
win, I will defeat, I will save, I will become”. ey get what they want. Once
whatever it is has been obtained, whether it is someone’s life or something
which has some kind of material value, it becomes worthless to them due to
the fact that their mission has been accomplished. ey can keep it, destroy
it or just throw it away. ey can’t stand losing their honour, fame or
leadership qualities as these, especially the rst two, are their most precious
treasures.

Astrological Secrets of the Decans
First decan: 21 March to 30 March

People born in this period feel the energy of Mars more strongly than other
Arians, and this makes them fearless, adventurous and prone to taking risks.
Whatever they have in mind, whether good or bad, they just want to do it
and therefore they don’t let anyone stop them. ey are able to make
decisions very quickly, without stopping to think. ey act on their will
independently, while expecting others around them to depend on them.
ose born between 22 March and 23 March deal with more restrictions,
obstacles and problems in their lives than most. ey can turn these to good
only if they become more patient, tender-hearted and compassionate.

Men born 21 March to 30 March

ese men become managers, administrators, traders, scientists, spiritual

doctors, sportsmen, detectives and dentists, and can achieve high rank in
the military if they develop themselves and improve their skills. Aries men
in this decan who haven’t improved their skills oen take up the professions
of road contractors, mechanics and drivers.
ey consider themselves as hunters with women as their prey, for they
believe that they must possess the one they are attracted to. ese men are
mainly driven by their instinctive sexual potency. When sexually attracted to
women, they nd it easy to approach them. However, if they genuinely love
a woman spiritually, they can’t approach her because they exalt the beloved
to an unreachable position. And so they stick around to be able to always see
her.
 If the woman is pretty, feminine, has thick lips and a slim waist, and if
she looks naïve, pure and innocent, no matter what, the Aries man tries to
get her. When his instinctive drive to protect combines with a strong
attraction, his drive to win unveils itself. Once he possesses her, other
women mean nothing to him and so he ignores them.
If Mars indicates disharmony in their chart, they tend to be players and
involved with three women simultaneously, who, surprisingly, know nothing
about one another.
Men belonging to this decan are also interested in car races.

8
Aries
Women born 21 March to 30 March

ese women feel the energy received from Mars more strongly than most.
Aries women possess strong facial outlines, particularly if Mars has a strong
in uence in their chart. ey are born with birthmarks on their faces and
heads. ey retain charm more than beauty. ey suit long hair.
ey do not like simplicity or weakness. ey are protective and
possessive, and yet they tend not to reveal their love explicitly. ey become
beautiful, arrogant, and stubborn and do not like showing mercy. ey can’t
be cheated, although they try their best to cheat others. When someone tries
to cheat them, these women feel pity for them and portray themselves as
victims. ey can’t stand being betrayed in love affairs, and if they are
cheated on they will de nitely seek revenge. Even if they are desperately in
love, they will not refrain from this and they do not reveal how much they
are suffering from having their feelings hurt and longings unful lled. Some
Aries women in this decan tend towards disloyalty.
ey are aware of the fact that red suits them. ey wish to own either a
red or a black sports car. Jealousy coming from pessimistic people around
them gives them a headache. e scent of a carnation brings them luck.

Second decan: 31 March to 10 April

ese people can be recognised by their hair, ears, big eyes, slender and long
noses, thin lips, the clothes they wear and by the way they walk. ey favour
light coloured hair, particularly blond hair.
e sub-ruling planet of this decan is the Sun. ese people are self-
centred and they always make references to their past experiences during a
conversation as well as oen starting sentences with “I”. ey like hands-on
jobs and are interested in cinema, opera, the stage, management and
administration, and if they choose one of these as a career path, they will
most likely become successful.
ose born on 30 March or 31 March are more ambitious and have
better instincts and so achieve success through using their intuition.

pitiless relationships with women. ey frequently change lovers, as they try

shown in their charts, they become very popular.

Women born 31 March to 10 April

Women born between 31 March and 10 April have musical skills. ey like
to test their skills onstage for they are highly skilled in playing a role. ese
Aries women are interested in precious jewellery, money and watches, and
they want to buy the best they can. ey prioritise their goals and art while
considering other things to be less important. Since they have strong
willpower, they win against their rivals and achieve success. eir will to
take over is much stronger than their sense of compassion. ey have a
tendency towards relationships outside marriage.
Third decan: 11 April to 19 April

ese people mainly derive their energy from Jupiter and Sagittarius. ey
are more faithful and sensible than most. ere is an ever-growing faith in
and a love of religion deep inside them. ey are fond of pilgrimages,
foreign countries and different cultures. ey have a good sense of
benevolence as they love helping those who are desperately in need of help,

and love living their lives. eir dreams usually come true. ey are also
seriously into spiritual illumination. ey love travelling and cannot stay
somewhere stable for they possess the spirit of nomadic life. ey also
become rich. Until they have found the right one, it is not easy for them to
choose a partner so they frequently change partners. ey do not like saucy
or showy women. e prospective wife should be loyal to them and should
enjoy staying at home.

Women born 11 April to 19 April

ese women are presented with surprising opportunities and chances. ey
usually achieve success in remote countries. If Jupiter aspects the Sun, they
have a tendency towards religion. Moreover, their dreams come true so
dreams become a crucial source of knowledge for them.
 ey have a strong religious faith and love of God and live their religion
intensely. ey focus on spiritual illumination. ey have strong feelings of
mercy, pity and benevolence. If Mars makes a difficult aspect to Saturn in
their chart, a lack of faith and disbelief can be seen in their religious life.
ose who receive the positive effects of Mars aspects will have long-lasting
marriages. ey do not want others to poke their nose into their business
and want to live their life in the way that they wish.

owers and nice fragrances. ere must be silk, velvet, and nice divans in the
house where they live. Rich Taurus women cherish possessing such items,
while Taurean women who cannot afford them dream of having a
prosperous life in order to be able to buy them. ey primarily marry for
money. However, if they think their love is stronger than their desire to have
a prosperous life, they choose to go for love.
ey have a beautiful voice and speak nicely and tunefully. ey enjoy
eating as well as singing whilst cooking, although they do not like the smell

within a crowd they feel lonely.

18
Taurus
Men born 11 May to 20 May

ese men obtain their energy primarily from Saturn and Capricorn. ey
know what they are doing. ey mature early as they had an authoritative

kids whom they love and protect.

 v

Element: Air
Character: Inconsistent
Ruling planet: Mercury
House: ird
Skills: Quick wit, ability to write well
Anatomy: Shoulders, hands and arms
Major goals: To introduce their ideas to the whole world

General characteristics: Full of wisdom, wit and skill, Geminians obtain

their energy primarily from Mercury. ey are clever and friendly people.
ey not only make those around them happy, they also make themselves
happy through combining their characteristics of intelligence, wit and love.
Having the spirit of a student, they love both learning new things as
well as teaching what they already know. eir souls are younger than of the
age they are supposed to be since they are quick on the uptake. Strangely,
they retain a desire to learn ballet even when they get old.
 ey are amongst the rare people who are capable of using their hands,
tongues and wisdom simultaneously. Unfortunately, some Geminians do not
use this unique talent. ey need to learn how to complete what they have
started. However, that’s not a big deal, as learning is crucial thing for them.
eir Libra buddies, if they have any, uncover and reorganise tasks that
Geminians have abandoned and complete them. Geminians and Librans get
on well and they may keep each other company. If an Aquarian joins the
couple, nothing can ruin that relationship.

23
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Geminians aim to have their voices heard by the whole world. ose
born in the third decan of this sign accomplish their goals as they not only
have very strong relationships with the people around them, they also
succeed in becoming teachers, authors, TV presenters, DJs or journalists.
ey love being involved in the media or libraries. ey have strong
handicra skills and enjoy fashion design and needlework.
ey can fall in love with two different people at the same time and
then cannot decide whom they love the most. ey usually take one and
leave the other. eir rst beloved is usually someone from close by. ey
are the most likely group to have a love affair with a neighbour.
ey may tell white lies when they are in trouble. ose who feel the
severe in uences of the sign are most likely to be inclined to thievery,
deception, scams and fraud. ey may have trouble from choosing the
wrong friends choices, being imprisoned because of friends, ghting with
their neighbours and having learning difficulties.

First decan: 21 May to 30 May

Belonging to the rst decan, these Geminians feel Mercury’s energy more
strongly than the others. ey speak fast and have different pronunciations
of certain words, and also use gestures whilst speaking, especially when
talking about their problems.
Le-handed Geminians are usually born in the rst decan. ey
consistently use their le hands for writing when they are children and they
oen grow up to be le-handed.
Men born 21 May to 30 May

ese Geminians accommodate themselves to the environment they live in

and so they can get on well even with the most difficult people. Geminian
men born between 24 May and 26 May should neither make enemies nor be
friends with untrustworthy people, for they may quite possibly be slandered
which may result in their imprisonment.
ey become rich by using their brains. Besides their physical and
mental perception skills, they have a strong and vast store of knowledge. If
they have strong writing skills, they become teachers, scientists, sportsmen
or translator/interpreters. ey also have a strong interest in astronomy.
ose who could not complete their education for some reason usually
become carpenters, tailors, frescoers, marble/tile makers or ironsmiths.
Geminian men born in the rst decan are talented in all handcras. Even if
they do it as a hobby, they sell what they make for supplementary income.

24
Gemini
ey are heedless in love affairs. Every time they meet someone, they
think it is the right one, but they are usually wrong. erefore, they
frequently change lovers. Geminian men born between 22 May and 23 May
patiently continue to do what they are doing; they accomplish success
through their own efforts.

Women born 21 May to 30 May

Mercury’s energy is in uential in this decan. ese women are clever, skilful,
so-spoken and friendly. ey also speak quite fast. ey value their
relationships with their friends and neighbours. Unfortunately, their
enemies are found amongst their neighbours or friends. Women born
between 24 May and 26 May should be careful in their friendships and
relationships with their neighbours as they are likely to be slandered, which
may trigger feelings of revenge.
One of the most upsetting things, that they may never forget, could be
the con nement of someone they close (such as in prison) or breaking up
with their beloved. ese women become lucky on behalf of their children.
 ey usually suffer from discomfort in their necks, shoulders, hands,
arms and ears. ey should take extra heed of arthritis in particular. ey
should stop cracking their neck. Handcras help them to discharge their
stress in as much the same way as slow music is good for their spiritual
health.

Second decan: 31 May to 9 June

e sub-ruling planet of this decan is Venus, and Libra is also strongly

in uential for these people. ese Geminians usually have smiley faces and
they are so-spoken and companionable people with whom one may enjoy
talking. ey are always ready to help others for they are benevolent and
naïve. Whatever age they are, they value love and affection. ey love being
adored and are irtatious. e in uences of Mercury and Venus grant these
people the skills of using diplomatic language, respectful manners, pacifying
feelings and love.

25
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
ey await luck. Once they have stopped hoping for it, luck comes in a
multitude of ways. e luck might be related to love, money or property.
erefore, it is hard for them to decide which to go for. ey can make
decisions in relation to property opportunities, even though it may be
difficult for them to do so, but they remain indecisive about the
opportunities presented to them in relation to spiritual values. is leads
them to nd themselves handling two relationships simultaneously.
Venus grants indecisiveness, especially when the Moon is in Gemini.
is leads to an incapability to get what they want in love; therefore they
change lovers frequently. Due to the in uence of Mercury, this doesn’t take
long.

Men born 31 May to 9 June

e words that best describe second decan Geminians are affectionate,

respectful, companionable, skilled and well-dressed. ose who are born
between 31 May and 2 June have the desire to learn; the characteristics of
benevolence and generosity are well-developed in them. ey have a passion
for philosophy and religion. ey also value their dreams. Remote countries
and foreign people fascinate them. ose who have difficult aspects in their
charts might be ill-mannered, voluptuous and unbelievers.
Geminians who are born either on 7 June or 8 June love exploring,
discovering, and inventing new places or things. ey put their theoretical
knowledge into practice and share what they know with other people. In this
way, they achieve prosperity and bliss.

patient and can stand against all odds and challenges, their marriages are
usually very long-lasting. Even if there is bitterness and coldness between
them and their husband, they tend not to break off their relationship. If their
husbands try to divorce them, they will try to rescue the relationship.

84
Capricorn
Some women in this decan become deeply upset about their children
for some reason. Even though they love children, they cannot show love to
their own. And when they are overwhelmed by hopelessness, all of a sudden
they have another child. is child is very favourable and auspicious to these
women.

Element: Air

Ruling planets: Uranus, Saturn
House: Eleventh
Skills: Superior intelligence
Anatomy: Lower leg, ankles
Major goals: To advance, to discover

General characteristics: Aquarians born between 21 January and 18

February take their energy from Uranus and Saturn. Before Uranus was

and friendly. Historical accounts show that many scientists, musicians,
intellectuals, astrologers and astronomers were Aquarians. Also when
looking at children’s potential for genius, it appears that they are oen born
under the sign of Aquarius. Without Aquarians we may not have been able
to listen to masterpieces of music composed centuries ago. Maybe we would
have been without electricity and we wouldn’t have had any knowledge
about astrology. Although, there are intellectuals and scientists from other
signs, oen either their ascendant is Aquarius or their birth chart is
in uenced by Saturn and/or Uranus. In short, without Aquarians the world
would not have developed to the stage it is at today, because it is the sign of
evolution. Another quality of Aquarians is that they can master any kind of
difficulty. Consequently, Aquarians are very successful people who attract
other people’s attention.

e in uence of Saturn and Uranus energies can be strongly sensed in this

decan. ese people can be recognised by their serious, respectful, and
sophisticated appearance. ey are hardworking, diligent and skilful. ey
love following technological innovation and they experience many changes
in their lives. Many male Aquarians born in this decan improve themselves.
If Saturn and Uranus are in the same sign as the Sun, the Aquarian man is
able to climb the career ladder.

90
Aquarius
ey gain deep scienti c knowledge in astrology and astronomy.
Aquarian men are skilled at writing if Mercury is in Aquarius, and they
present their knowledge about astrology and astronomy in written form.
ere are many intelligent people born in this decan.
However, there also have been many people who have been involved
with illegal issues. In love relationships, they like change and they can’t stick
to one person. ey are attracted to affairs while being married. If in their
natal chart Saturn and Venus are in good aspect, Aquarian men are likely to
have long lasting marriages. ey also have platonic relationships at some
point in their lives.

Women born 21 January to 30 January

e in uence of Saturn and Uranus energies can be strongly sensed in this

decan. Women born in this decan can be recognised by their eyes, eyelashes,
hair, style of dress and their cars. When other people talk about these
women they say, “e lady with the beautiful eyes”. ey are faithful friends,
yet they have very few faithful friends. If they have around ten friends, there
are only one or two people whom they value. ey like going out at night
with their friends. ey may meet men while enjoying nightlife, but a
relationship with such a man usually would not be good to the female
Aquarius. In fact, female Aquarians born in this decan face the greatest
disappointment in love relationships when they meet their partner in clubs
or bars. Also, they are jealous, and if their partners do not pay them enough
attention, Aquarian women become suspicious that their partner might be
unfaithful.
When suffering from in delity, Aquarian women do not forgive their
partners. Even if it would make them ill or they would die, they would not
go back to their partner. Some types of Aquarian women born in this decan
tend to nd a new partner before they break up with their current one. ey
consider extra-marital relationships as normal and they also bear children
without getting married. Some get married early, but also separate quickly.
While their peers concentrate on school, Aquarian women born in this
decan get married without listening to their parents. ey cannot
understand why their family gets upset with this. When they realise that
they have made a mistake they decide very quickly to get a divorce, which is
shocking for everybody. Aerwards they stay single for a long time, having
only insigni cant love affairs.

91
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
In fact, Aquarian women born in this decan look for a long-term stable
relationship. e partner they are looking for should be responsible and
protective and he should be respected in society. If the Aquarian woman
nds a partner who will lead her, she will decide to get married. She will not
get into a relationship with a man just to have someone in her life. Aquarian
women with such a personality trait have ethical values and obey cultural
rules. ese women are in high positions in their workplace. ey always
stick out with their appearance and lifestyles. ey also place importance on
cultural values. As Aquarian women born in this decan consider awards and
success to be important, they also participate in competitions or educational
programmes to document their achievements. Even though there are many
Aquarian women who place importance on cultural and ethical values, there
are also women who just live at the opposite extreme. ese women do not
care about cultural or ethical values and they live a free life.
When women born in this decan are nervous or absent minded, they
pick (sometimes unconsciously, sometimes consciously) the skin of their
lips. It can also be observed that they take a tu of hair and put it in their
mouth.
Second decan: 31 January to 9 February

People who were born in this decan are in uenced by Gemini’s and
Mercury’s energies. ey are able to take advantage of opportunities easily
and turn to long term effect due to the combination of Mercury, Saturn and
Uranus. ey are creative and imaginative. ey imagine things that are
unknown or non-existent and then they try to realise their imagination by
patiently experimenting. When they work, they work with discipline and
passion. ey believe that only those who work will win in the end, and thus
they work in an unusual way.
When Aquarians born in this decan take on the responsibility of a job
they have to be successful in what they are doing. As Aquarians work with
their brains, they are very inventive. eir brainpower and ability to
innovate is very impressive to other people. Teaching and writing are inborn
skills of Aquarians born in this decan. ey are interested in astrology and
astronomy and acquire knowledge of these elds. At some point they may
reach the top and publish what they have discovered. When they dedicate
themselves to writing, they do not do it for the sake of money or fame, but
because they respect the art of writing. ese Aquarians are distinctive as
they can simultaneously use their hands, brains and speech. eir ability to
use both right hand and le hand equally well is also a quality of these
Aquarians. ere have been famous physics scholars, mathematicians,
philosophers and musicians born in this decan. Another feature is that
criminals and people who cannot adapt to social norms are usually
Aquarians.

92
Aquarius

Men born 31 January to 9 February

In this decan the energy of Mercury can be strongly sensed. e

combination of Saturn and Uranus with Mercury has a high in uence on
their intelligence and creativity. Accordingly, Aquarians born in this decan
are attentive and curious people. ey are highly intuitive and can sense
what they will face once they start something new. If in their birth chart
Mercury is in Pisces, their skills and abilities will emerge more slowly than
expected. ese Aquarians are excellent in planning, writing song lyrics and
poems and composing music. However, they seem a bit lazy, as they
postpone their duties. From time to time they distance themselves from
their surroundings and dedicate themselves to writing. ey write stories
and poems in order to occupy themselves. eir pens become their best
friends and they express all their emotions in writing. ey also share all
their knowledge with their writing. Although, these Aquarians consider
their writing as a private occupation, at some point in their lives these
writings may lead to great fame and success.

Women born 31 January to 9 February

Women born in this decan have unique skills and an intuitive mind.
Regardless of their age, they always look young. ey look like students and
tend to go for clothes that look like school uniforms as they still possess the
spirit of students and want to look like them. ey are very good at learning
languages and they can easily speak two languages. ey are very skilful in
literature, the arts and science. ey love learning and teaching as they
cannot get enough knowledge and they have the spirit of a student. For this
reason they usually have more than one profession.

93
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Aquarian women born in this decan are very successful in professions
that are based on writing. ey like reading and cras and they enjoy
meeting their friends. If Uranus and the Sun are in a positive combination,
they will be interested in the sciences and astrology. However, one needs to
bear in mind that the intensity of the Sun affects the duration of their
interests. A bad habit that they may get from Gemini is that they get easily
bored as they get excited about the things they do. Yet if Saturn’s in uence is
strong, it makes these Aquarians disciplined and responsible people.
Whatever they start they will bring to an end successfully. ese Aquarian
women nd extra-marital relationships normal and they don’t pay much
attention to social rules. e other type of Aquarian woman is the one who
gets married. ese women chose their spouse from their immediate
surroundings. eir spouses have to be both intellectually and emotionally
pleasing. Once they found their spouse, they stay faithful in their marriage
and have a lifelong happy marriage.

Children born 31 January to 9 February

Although I have not written about the childhood features of other signs, I
have decided to give special importance to Aquarian children born in this
decan. Aquarian children born in this decan behave very differently to their
peers. us they astonish adults to the degree that adults admire those
children. However, people should bear in mind that some Aquarian children
born in this decan are nervous, aggressive, active and (compared to their
peers) more energetic. eir behaviour is usually like that of an adult and
due to their independent personality they are rebellious. e family and
those around Aquarian children are usually shocked because they do not
understand this kind of behaviour. Many parents take their children to
psychologists or doctors in order to bring the rebellious behaviour under
control.
ese Aquarian children are excluded from their peers and questioned
by their family and so believe that their family does not want them. Yet, one
needs to understand that these children do not have a disorder, but they are
more intelligent and mature than other children. If parents are patient and
understanding towards their Aquarian children, the rebellious state will just
be temporary and the foundation for future success will be laid. If Saturn’s
in uence in the natal chart of these Aquarians is high, the above mentioned
features are more easily controllable. ere have been children born in this
decan who are successful, mature for their age, silent, serious and
responsible.

94
Aquarius

Third decan: 10 February to 18 February

In this decan, Venus’s energies can be strongly sensed. ese Aquarians can
be recognised by their clothes and unexpected behaviour. ey attract
people like a magnet. On one hand they are very friendly; on the other they
are also reserved. While acting like a child, they may suddenly become very
serious, which is very surprising for the people around them. Yet there are
also Aquarians born in this decan who are serious, disciplined, responsible,
respected, and adapted to social norms. eir lives are based on their family
and their work.
ey do not like it if people waste their time and they avoid those
people. eir slogan is, “Time is money!” ey have a special interest in
watches and have at least ve at home. When they go somewhere they
constantly look at their watch, because time is important to them.
Aquarians born in this decan can also become excellent astrologers or
astronomers, if they study these elds. Aquarians born between 13 February
and 15 February have a strong scienti c mind. eir heart and spirit “eyes”
are wide open, so they are able to discover new scienti c things. Due to
Saturn’s strong in uence, these Aquarians learn autonomously with passion.
ey do their research for the sake of science and they share their ndings
with humanity.

Men born 10 February to 18 February

Libra’s and Venus’s energy can be sensed strongly in this decan. ese people
are humane and instinctively do good deeds. ey stay away from
arguments and ghts and are advocates of peace and peacemakers. eir
compassionate, respectful, and intellectual way of speaking makes this
Aquarian man an exclusive person among his friends. ey get upset over
lost time and their brains, hearts and hands are always busy.
ose Aquarians who develop themselves are usually very well-known
people. ey are also known for their artistic skills, such in cinema, theatre
etc. In their love life, these Aquarians are romantic and shy, acting only if
shown interest. ey would rather wait for luck to come to them than force
their luck. eir shyness comes from a notion of not wanting to be liked.
ey are in favour of marriage. Although they are very modern, they place
importance on social rules and virtues.

95
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Men born in this decan are more lovable and emotional than those
born in the other decans. Even if these Aquarians have an unhappy
marriage, they do everything they can to keep their marriage going.
Meanwhile, they have extra-marital relationships.
If the Moon is in aspect with Uranus in their birth chart, Aquarian men
tend to fall in love easily and separate very quickly. ey oen change
partners, betray and in turn are oen betrayed. If Saturn’s energies are
strong, they are disciplined and authoritative. When their marriages are
founded on the above mentioned principles, their marriages will be long-
lasting even if there are problems. From time to time, these men could have
secret relationships. eir secret lovers are signi cantly older or younger
than them. Yet, they would never destroy their marriage for anyone else.
ey provide fully for their family and take all responsibility for it.

Women born 10 February to 18 February

Venus’s energy can be sensed strongly in this decan. ese women can be
recognised by their kindness, sweet talk, smiling face and adaptability. ey
speak in a so and almost poetic tone. ere are always admirers around
them. ey are a jewel for men. However, these women usually get into
relationships with men who do not appreciate them enough. ey are always
loved and they always love, but as there is no end to their admirers Aquarian
women will always unlucky and unhappy. eir enemies are women, to that
degree that they would catch their best female friends doing harm.
Aquarian women possess inborn qualities that no other women from
other signs have. If Venus is strong in their birth chart, they have an
excellent musical ear and can sing very well. Moreover, they are happy when
performing music. ey can play more than one instrument. ey like
making themselves and others happy. Dressing up is a form of art for them.
Whatever they wear it suits them. Another quality is their interest in
astrology and astronomy. Like Aquarian men, these women can become
very famous if they concentrate on these sciences.

96
Aquarius
If the Moon is in one of the earth signs (especially Virgo), these women
are interested in alternative medicine. eir passion for perfume is as strong
as their passion for music. ey prefer to create perfumes rather than buy
them. ere are times when these women appear to lead a normal life, but
there are also times when they disappear in order to invent something; it
may be a new musical composition, a new fragrance, a new face cream, etc.
If women with those skills are ambitious they can become renowned
worldwide. Uranus has put all its creativity and power in this decan in order
to create beauty. Also, Uranus’ creativity dies for Venus’s beauty. Saturn
secures this beauty and creativity to be long lasting and immortal.

sorry for themselves. ey are not strong enough to ght against a grievous

 When Pisceans meet an unfortunate consequence they tend to escape
reality and retreat into solitude due to the fact that Pisceans value love and
affection. ey cannot stand to feel grief.
Because they identify with sad songs and think those sad songs describe
their situations, they weep the moment they start listening to any of them. In
so much the same way, they identify with the characters in romantic movies
and cry as they watch them. ey oen write sad, romantic sentences and
then compose them into a poem.

101
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Pisceans feel sorry for themselves to the degree that this becomes a
pathological issue; they make themselves ill. eir body blisters, they feel
lazy, seem to be lost in their thoughts, become forgetful and they start to
lose their hair. is is what we call “melancholy”. ey are now overwhelmed
by emotional pain. Strangely, they take pleasure in pain. is continues until
their beloved returns or they nd someone else with whom they completely
fall in love and who can make them forget all their past emotional pains.

the beloveds they have broken up with will return to them.

eir sense of mercy is so enhanced that they try to help people more
than necessary and they put themselves into the position of needing help,
although they still do not stop helping others. is may change only if
Saturn and Mars make a harsh aspect. ey then become stronger and
bolder and gain the strength to stand against certain things.
When they think people are being unjust towards them, they guard
themselves by saying, “No one has the right to do this to me”. ey take
revenge sooner or later as they are neither forgiving nor tolerant. Not only
they are distant, cold, aggressive and self-centred people, but also they refuse
to take orders though they will give them. e way that they talk is insulting
and commanding. Although they have good management skills, they lack
feelings of pity and mercy.
First decan Pisceans should take extra care against the sea and
explosives and whilst eating sh.
Mainly in uenced by Neptune, these people are inclined towards
poetry, music and painting. Because they have enhanced feelings of pity,
they may work at hospitals or charity shops. ey may also become

ose who are in uenced by Mars and Saturn can become members of
the military, or a teacher or a manager. ey need to be careful of nervous
breakdowns. ey should also keep themselves away from illegal things and
deeds or they will have to deal with legal problems.

ese men mainly access their energies from Neptune and Jupiter. ey
become friendly, compassionate and benevolent people if they are granted
the characteristics of the sign Pisces.
ey value illumination of spirit and religion. us they have a religious

ey use the power of imagination granted by Neptune towards

First decan Piscean men create their own happiness, success and luck by
which they make both themselves and other people happy. ey are good at
playing a role and at spiritual illumination. erefore, they can be successful
in religion, cinema, poetry, theatre and painting. ey take delight in all
things related to the sea, although they should be careful of the risks of the
sea. Moreover, they are skilled in writing as well as lucky in gambling.
 If there are harsh aspects in their birth charts, they become alcoholics
who lead a lavish life. Trusting others easily, they tend to give away all their
money and become careless and absent minded people.
e discomforts they have usually derive from the cold. ey complain
about the cold they get from their feet which result in a windy tummy. ey
also have discomforts on their lungs derived from the cold.
Men born between 20 February and 21 February may suffer from a
chronic illness from the time they were born. Some of them keep very
important secrets. Men born between 22 February and 24 February train

which accompanies them all the time. ey oen retreat and dedicate
themselves to religion.
Another type of woman from this decan is one whose love is only
towards the opposite sex, as they are desperately in need of love and
affection. e only expectation they have from love is to be loved and
protected by the one they love. e man interested in the woman must be
passionate about love, loving and showing compassion. He has to make the
woman feel he will protect her and be romantic towards her.
First decan Piscean women have a bad habit of being unable to make
decisions unhesitatingly. ey sometimes cannot choose between two
persons and do not know who to go for. us they have more than one
relationship or marriage.
 e important medical problems they may have are as follows:
pathological love of love, forgetfulness, blisters, nervous breakdowns, lung
problems and numbness of certain limbs when older.

Second decan: 1 March to 10 March

Second decan Pisceans gain their energies from Cancer and the Moon.
ese people are well aware of their own charm and skills. Obeying social
rules and regulations, they aim to gain a good reputation within their
community where they will be well-respected. Setting their aims, they work
hard and they nally accomplish their aims and so become popular and
respected. ey are possessive and protective as well as jealous in love. ey
take incredible delight in getting together all the people they love. Second
decan Pisceans are keen on saving up money to invest into property so that
they can guarantee their future.

104
Pisces
Men born 1 March to 10 March

ese men are ruled mainly by Cancer and the Moon. ey are possessive
and protective as well as jealous people in love. ey are usually easily
convinced by others and become disloyal towards their partners. eir
disloyal manners, however, do not always lead to a split. All they do is to
make excuses and try to spot imperfections in their wives which they dislike,
because they think the woman they have just met is perfect. Yet, they stay
with their wives but remain distant and cold towards them. As things go on,
the issue of divorce arises. Finally, they realise the mistakes they have been
making and start acting more prudently. ey do not want to break up or
ruin their relationship, as a smooth relationship with a wife means a lot to
them; it offers shelter where they can take refuge when they face difficult
obstacles.
Second decan Piscean men begin to dream of becoming wealthy from a
young age. In their dreams, there is a massive house located near the sea
where there is also a decorative pool with nice shes. ey work hard and
save money to realise their dreams.
 ese men are very skilled at appraising the opportunities they are
given. ey aim to be rich people, and they succeed. ey take pleasure in
hosting visitors in their houses as well as in cooking.
Second decan Piscean men possess very strong emotions. ey are very
interested in dreams, the unknown and mysterious events. ey are always
keen on knowing what their relatives did in the past and how they lived, as
they have strong ties with the past. When they experience emotional
breakdowns, they start eating and drinking a lot. erefore they begin to
have discomfort in their tummies.

Women born 1 March to 10 March

Piscean women born between 1 March and 10 March 10 predominantly

receive the energies of Cancer and the Moon. ese women look very quiet,
sad, desperate, naïve and fragile. ey are very kind-hearted, pure and
emotional women. Some of them have strong skills in mediumship. Highly
interested in the unknown and supernatural powers, they train themselves
in those elds.
ey recall many similarities between themselves and their mothers as
they are highly in uenced by their mothers. When they talk they always
refer back to their mothers’ experiences, saying such things as, “Mum would
do this, Mum used to do that…”

105
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
e women in this decan also like places where there is sea or a river or
lake. ey dream of owning a house near any of those places, where there is
an ornamental pool with shes in. Because they are good at saving up
money, they realise their dreams. ey take pleasure in hosting visitors in
their houses as well as in cooking.
Just like second decan Piscean men, the women of this decan are very
interested in dreams, the unknown and mysterious events. ey are keen on
knowing what their relatives did in the past, how they lived, as they have
strong ties with the past.
Because they are emotional and sensitive people, they always seem to be
passive even against small incidents. erefore, when they experience
emotional breakdowns, they start eating and drinking a lot, which results in
discomfort in their tummies and weight problems. On top of this, they
harshly criticise their close friends or family members which causes coldness
and distancing.

Third decan: 11 March to 20 March

Pisceans born between 11 March and 20 March show the characteristics of

Cancer, Mars and Pluto. ird decan members are always self-con dent
people who know what they want. No one can cheat these people. However,
some third decan Pisceans may consciously and deliberately let some others
cheat them. ey are stubborn, vengeful and spiteful people who do not
forgive mistakes, or tolerate them either. If they are betrayed or cheated by
someone, sooner or later they take revenge as they never forget about the
pain of betrayal even if a long time passes.
e feeling of mercy coming from Neptune, and the feeling of ruin
which comes from Mars, create a very contradictory state of mind in these
people. Even when they meet a person against whom they have been waiting
to take revenge, they are overwhelmed by the contradictory feeling that, on
the one hand, they wish to annihilate that person on the other hand, their
conscience says to them to let him go unharmed. Overall, third decan
Pisceans strongly possess feelings of love, hatred and vengeance.

106
Pisces
Men born 11 March to 20 and March

Piscean men born 11 March to 20 March mainly obtain their energies from
Cancer, Pluto and Mars. ey have an enhanced holy feeling of love of God.
ey are tolerant and forgiving. Being interested in the mysteries of life, they
try to gather as much information as they can about those mysteries and
unknown things. ey re-bring the forgotten, hidden, mysterious
information into light. Even though they have their own worlds full of
mystic life, they do not share or talk about this to anyone.
If these people, who are predominantly under the in uence of Neptune,
Pluto and Mars, are somehow affected by Saturn’s energy, they start to use
their mystical characteristics and secret powers towards bad end. ey use
these powers to take revenge and annihilate as they have an enhanced
instinct to annihilate both themselves and others.
ird decan Piscean men who feel the energy of Mars more strongly
tend to have promiscuous relationships with many people. Hence they are
not loyal to women. ey approach women with lust rather than with love.
ey are more interested in women taken by the other men they closely
know.
ey need to take extra care about venereal illnesses and prostate
cancer. ese men have the Mars mark or scar on their thighs, hips or faces.

Women born 11 March to 20 March

ere are some non-believers amongst them. ose whose charts contain
harsh aspects have rude and harsh characteristics. ey turn into stubborn
women who act upon their own principles by ignoring what others say
about them. ey cannot stand marriage problems. If they are cheated on,
they will de nitely punish this unacceptable act.
If the dark side of the Moon is quite strong in this decan, these women
fall in love with the husbands of women they know closely. And also their
feelings are not non-reciprocal; the men feel the same way.
ey show deep interest in secrets and mysteries. ey research how to
enhance their feelings and how to use them. ey are known to be full of
secrets. Yet, they discover other people’s secrets without the other people
knowing this. And they don’t share those secrets with those people.

107
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
ey are sexually attractive women, and they possess more sexual
charm than beauty. ey attract men just like a magnet, which is a hidden
power they have to attract the opposite sex. ey possess a mysterious look.
ey know that red and black suits them, and so they usually wear clothes in
either red or black.
ey usually suffer from headaches, discomfort in the eyes and in the
womb. ey have marks or scars on their faces, hips or thighs. ey may
have an abortion and when they decide to have babies, some of them
cannot. e women predominantly under the in uence of Neptune fall
pregnant a number of times and may suffer miscarriage due to vaginal
problems. ose however, who are under the in uence of Saturn fall
pregnant at the point when they have given up.
ird decan women usually work as mediums, doctors, preachers,
psychologists, surgeons and funeral directors.

THE PLANETS
THE SUN
 s

e Sun represents life, creativity and power

Art, stage arts, music, athletics, and opera are under the control of the Sun.
Kings, queens, heroes, leaders, artists, actresses, jewellery, governors, and
famous people are strongly under the in uence of the Sun.
Ambition for power, desire to be at the top, desire to be a governor, and
passion for power exist in the people who are primarily affected by the Sun.
ese people aim to be seen and want to be admired. Because they want to
be renowned for what they do, they love attention and to be in the lead.
Where there is art, luminescence, luxury, and showing off, all is under
the in uence of the Sun. e Sun is royal and noble. e noble energies that
the Sun possesses are pride, honour, power, generosity and chivalry. Trust,
creativity and lasting power are the Sun energy’s most distinctive
characteristics.
 e Sun is about natural catastrophes as well. For a natural catastrophe
to occur it must be triggered by the Sun.
ere was a solar eclipse on 13 September 2004 followed by the
Sumatra earthquake on Sunday 26 December 2004. As the Sumatra
earthquake happened, the following astrological events occurred:
e Sun was in Capricorn, an earth sign. e Moon was full in its own
sign, Cancer, a water sign,. Uranus, which represents destruction and
unexpected events, was at 3° Pisces where it feels uncomfortable. Uranus
was also making a harsh aspect to Mars and Jupiter. Saturn, which
represents erosions and earthquakes, was in the water sign Cancer, where it
is not comfortable. Pluto, representing holocausts and destructions, was at
22° of Sagittarius, which symbolises expansion and growth.

113
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
e fact that Uranus, which represents abrupt and destructive events,
was in a water sign, Saturn is in the water sign Cancer, which represents
societies, and Neptune, the symbol for the seas, was close to the ascendant is
an indication of earthquakes caused by the sea. In this earthquake, 300,000
people lost their lives.
Solar eclipses not only trigger natural disasters, but can also cause
unexpected catastrophes, drought, res and death of leaders. Intuitively
feeling upcoming solar eclipses, animals become stressed and uncomfortable
before they occur.
Solar eclipses occurring in re signs precipitate wars, res, accidents
and deaths caused by heat. If the solar eclipse happens in Leo, this causes the
death of leaders and rebels. If however it occurs in Sagittarius, it causes the
death of well-known scholars and wise men, the damage of holy places,
infection of cattle and sickness caused by animals.
Solar eclipses occurring in earth signs trigger famine, drought, erosions
and the loss of material values. If solar eclipse happens in Virgo, it causes the
lessening of crops and grains, sickening of sheep and goats and the rebellion
of workers.
A solar eclipse occurring in Gemini, one of the air signs, precipitates a
vendetta resulting in murder. If the eclipse however happens in Aquarius,
which belongs to the same group, it causes blood diseases, young peoples’
violent tendencies and trouble making and malice from friends. Solar
eclipses happening in air signs in general make enemies stronger and cause
injustice to clergymen and slander.
If a solar eclipse occurs in a water sign, it causes injustice to women,
shipwrecks, damages to sh, and sea pollution. If the eclipse occurs in
Scorpio, it triggers rebellion, betrayal, sexually contagious diseases and an
assassination plot aimed at a well-known woman.

The Sun in astronomy

Its diameter is 109 times (1.5 million km) that of the Earth and its volume is
1.3 million and mass 333,000 times that of the Earth, while the Sun’s
intensity is one quarter of that of the Earth’s.

114
Sun
e average weight of the Sun is 1 billion 981 million tonnes. It is
14,500,000 kilometres away from the Earth.
e Sun revolves around itself on average at 70,000 km p/h and it
completes one day every twenty- ve Earth days. Travelling 1 degree in a day,
the Sun changes zodiac sign every month. e Sun’s surface temperature is
5,500°C and its core temperature is 15.6 million°C.

The Sun in mythology

To ancient civilisations, the direction where the Sun rose was highly
signi cant. According to some beliefs, heaven and the life tree were in the
east. erefore, people used to build their houses facing east where the Sun
rose. Windows and doors opened towards the east.
When the Sun lost its light and went dark for a short time during the
day, people believed that this was a bad omen. is is because the Sun was
the symbol of the east and of life at the same time.
Among the many ancient civilisations that worshipped the Sun were the
Chinese, Indians, Tibetans, Mayas and Aztecs. Some even sacri ced people
to the Sun.
For the Sumerians, one of the ancient civilisations, Utu was the Sun
god. He was believed to have gone under the Sun aer it set to determine the
destiny of the dead.
 e ancient Turks believed that the Sun was the god of the heavens. It
was also the creator of both visible and invisible creatures. erefore, they
gave newborn babies names which would mean or denote the Sun.
It was the ancient Egyptians who rst made the solar calendar. Mayans,
Aztecs, Incas and the Romans are only the few of the many civilisations who
recognised and adopted a solar calendar. ey were so moved by the Sun
that they used to tell fortunes by interpreting sunspots.
e most famous Sun god in mythology was Apollo. He was also the
god of music, re, poetry and art. He was the one who rst used a musical
instrument — a golden lyre. Due to its strong spiritual power, one could
hear his lyre from miles away. Whoever heard this sound would be
impressed and moved spiritually. He also had a silver arrow and a bow and
could also shoot his arrow to far places.
Prescient and intuitive, Apollo used to prophesy what was going to
happen for he had a very strong skill in foreseeing the future. Being able to
see in the darkness, he could see what others were unable to see. Knowing
the unknown and seeing the unseen, Apollo also granted the ability to be
invisible. He had the innocence and spirit of a child who never told a lie as
well as the power of healing people. He was the one who rst introduced
medicine to humanity.

they never leave anything un nished. Planning and organisation are part of
unique wisdom and intelligence. Being the boss or governing a group of
people or society is not a big deal for them.
e life-giving Sun transfers one of its energies to every planet it
communicates with.

and insolent manners they display. ey wish to possess any material or
spiritual value that catches their fancy.

the Moon’s passivity, insecurity and needs, and therefore it wishes to inject
its powers to the Moon for it wants the Moon to be powerful. e Sun also

and prove itself; thus, it is unprotected and hopeless.

it began ambitiously and enthusiastically. Mercury is impatient and so
cannot show any patience against any negativity. It feels agitated and uneasy
in an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Aquarius, Saturn is strong in the third decan of Taurus, the second decans of
Virgo and Libra and the third decan of Gemini.
Saturn is cold, distant and gloomy. Patience, trust, willpower, and
knowledge are Saturn’s positive energies, while coldness, sel shness,
obstacles, fear, and restriction are a few of its negative energies. Each of these
negative energies has a reason behind it. e fact that it is cold and distant is
because it does not trust anyone. Sel shness is the consequence of receiving
no support when desperately in need of help. Its gloominess and
melancholic state is because of the negative energies that solitude,
unhappiness, sadness and hopelessness cause.
e conjunction of these two energies leads to popularity achieved
through hard work and brings the knowledge of the value of wasted time.

e ruling planet of Pisces, Neptune is strong in Sagittarius, the third decan

of Cancer and the second decan of Scorpio.
Neptune’s energy is sensitive as well as kind. Having no strength le to
bear either material or spiritual suffering, Neptune isolates itself from reality
and lives in a world of its own. As it lives in the world of dreams, grief and
romance, it expects and waits for a rescuer. Yet the rescuer may never come.
e Sun knows that Neptune is weak and it needs willpower. erefore
the Sun protects Neptune and supports it. As a result of having received
those energies, Neptune is encouraged to leave the world of dreams.

protect as well as learning how to ght against material and spiritual
grievances.

Sun
 e life-giving Sun brightens up Pluto’s underworld by sending it a light
energy. Fearless, and not at all capricious, Pluto lightens its world with the
light received from the Sun.
Pluto and the Sun have opposing energies. While Pluto is the king of
the underworld and non-living beings, the Sun is the king of the Earth and
living beings. While the Sun owns the energies of life, Pluto has destructive
energies. Pluto is darkness while the Sun is light. Pluto is death whereas the
Sun is life. e Sun is beginning while Pluto is the end. With its strong light

decisions. erefore, it cannot protect its spiritual values or its skills and
knowledge. In order to help Gemini reinforce its decision making skill, the
Sun presents it with the energy of willpower. With the energies received
from the Sun, Gemini manages to keep spiritual values within its possession.

Cancer is sensitive, compassionate and protective. It protects its loved ones

with feelings of compassion. Easily affected by negativity, it loses its sense of
self-con dence and thus can no longer protect its loved ones. e Sun
intervenes and grants to Cancer the energy of power whereby it regains the
sense of self-con dence as well as the power to protect.
 123
Astrological Secrets of the Decans

strength with the energy of power and willpower the Sun has granted. It has
a very good reputation for success achieved through difficulty. Superior
willpower is one of Capricorn’s strongest energies. Strong management skills
and success through discipline are the spiritual rewards Capricorn rightfully
deserves.

124
Sun
Aquarius is original, innovative and realistic. It possesses the energies of
wisdom, intelligence and awareness. Consciously or unconsciously, with no
fear, it ventures any risk for freedom. With the energy of courage procured
from the Sun, Aquarius reinforces its strength and bravely rebels against
injustice.

characteristics are powerful. Having an unsteady personality, it becomes
indecisive. e negative energies Pisces has are weakness, dreaminess,
sensitiveness and self-damaging. Believing in lies while knowing that they

the nature of Pisces. e Sun strengthens Pisces by granting it the energies of

THE MOON
 d

Emotions and instinctive reactions are under the rulership of

the Moon

e Moon is about society, mothers and mothering, women, girls, fertility,

pregnancy and proliferation. Sensibility, deep feelings and loving with
protection are qualities that describe the Moon.
It represents our past and our ancestors. Swamps, seas, ports, thermal
springs, owing waters, and everything to do with water is under the
rulership of the Moon.
e Moon represents the right eye in women and the le eye in men.
e Moon also represents tradesmen, import and export, restaurants, cooks,
taverns, nurses, social affairs, charities, societies of protection and shelter for
battered people.
ose who are predominantly under the in uence of the Moon tend to
use their homes as their office or workplace. Because they like staying at
home most of the time, they enjoy cooking and hosting visitors, friends and
relatives at home. ey like to feel settled. Since they are fortunate and lucky
people, whatever they plant becomes fruitful. ey also tend to save up
money and things and therefore tend to save small change for future use.
ose who are under the in uence of the Moon are also those who abide by
social rules. Hence, they constitute the infrastructure of the society they are
part of.

131
 Astrological Secrets of the Decans
e Moon is also about natural disasters; for a natural catastrophe to
occur, the Moon must trigger it. e points where the zodiac’s energy
intensi es are in the xed signs (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius). e
Moon must be full and the event should occur with the turn of the Moon. 
On Tuesday 22 April 1902, the lunar eclipse in Scorpio affected reptiles
and spiders. Snakes and spiders on Mount Pelée in Martinique Island
attacked towns and cities. By morning, y people and about two hundred
animals had been killed by those snakes and spiders.
Total lunar eclipses cause pestilence, trigger natural disasters and lead
to parasites in agriculture. Lunar eclipses taking place in animal zodiac signs
cause deaths of animals from pestilence, contagious illnesses from animals
transmitted to human beings and harm caused by animals. Total lunar
eclipses taking place in the re signs trigger wars, destruction, accidents,
explosions and contagious illnesses. Lunar eclipses taking place in earth
signs cause illnesses from louses and ticks, erosions, mine pit crashes,
destruction and harm from reptiles. Total lunar eclipses in air signs trigger
strong winds, foggy and dark skies and the loss of important people. Finally,
lunar eclipses in water signs trigger harm caused by water, sea crashes, and
harm plants.

The Moon in astronomy

e distance between the Moon and the Earth is roughly 383-400

kilometres, while the heat difference is more than 200°C. Travelling one
degree in two hours, the Moon forwards twelve degrees in a day. e Moon
stays two days in each zodiac sign. Because it rotates around the Earth while
the Earth is also spinning on its axis, the same side of the Moon is visible for
twenty-seven days. On average, forty-two lunar eclipses take place in
eighteen years.
e Moon absorbs the Sun’s rays and hence looks bright and spreads its
light. ere is no atmosphere or surface uid on the Moon; it is home to
deep valleys, cracks, craters, unevenness and rocks.

The Moon in mythology

Since ancient times, the Moon has been known to have the most mysterious
and intriguing power and, impressed by the Moon, some ancient people and
tribes worshipped it, organising and planning their lives in accordance with
moonrise and moonset. ey also used the Moon as their calendar. e rst
civilisation to use the lunar calendar was that of the Sumerians.
Altay Turks (the ancient Turks) also used the Moon as a calendar. e
Indians, Jews, Muslims and Chinese are a few of the civilisations who used
the lunar calendar. Even today, some civilisations still use the lunar calendar.
In Greek mythology, Artemis represented the Moon. Artemis witnessed
her mother’s labour pains and helped her to give birth. Feeling sorry and sad
for her mother because of the pain she was experiencing, Artemis vowed not
to get married and fall pregnant. Yet she could not keep her vow because she
fell in love with a tall, strong, and handsome hunter named Orion. She
thought about him all the time and dreamt of marrying him. However, there
was someone who did not like this situation — Apollo, her twin brother.
Orion was so huge and strong that Apollo thought he wasn’t good enough
for his twin sister.
However, Apollo could not persuade Artemis to step back, so he
hatched a plot to secretly kill Orion. He saw Orion going into the sea and
secretly watched him until he was out of sight. Apollo then called his sister
to aim an arrow at the mark in the sea. Being a very talented archer, she
aimed, not knowing it was Orion, and shot Orion to death with her own
arrow. Distraught about killing her beloved unknowingly, Artemis disguised
herself behind the very dark clouds. She went to her father Zeus to ask him
to make Orion a star, which Zeus did.
According to an ancient belief, there was a dark power called Lilith that
embodied the dark side of the Moon. Lilith was rst seen in Sumerian
mythology. Her myth is still existent in Eastern countries.
Lilith appears in men’s dreams where she makes love with them. She
also causes pregnant women to miscarry. She frightens newborn babies and
mothers who newly gave birth, sometimes causing them to die. is is why
women who have newly given birth are not le by themselves for forty days.
A pair of scissors or a knife is placed by newborn babies; a piece of thin red
or yellow tulle is used to cover them. Scared of knives, scissors and red and
yellow, Lilith cannot approach and so cannot exercise her bad powers. Al
karısı, is the name given to a terrifying creature who is believed to pester
women who have newly given birth and is the name given to Lilith in
Eastern countries. If a newborn baby dies within forty days, they call it
puerperal fever.

General characteristics of the Moon

e Moon is the ruling planet of Cancer and is exalted in the 3rd and 19th
degrees of Taurus. Very strong in Pisces, it is strongest in the second decan.
e Moon rises 35-45 minutes aer the other stars. It sends the rays to
the Earth that it receives from the Sun and causes the ow of tides. e
Moon represents watery places, seas and uids. e cycle of New Moon to
New Moon takes twenty-nine days, twelve hours and forty-four minutes.
e keystones of a community are the people who are under the
in uence of the Moon. As the Moon expands, people become more
powerful and successful. But when it gets smaller, they become tired, feeble
and unhappy. e Moon represents the womb and is connected with
illnesses caused by cold.

The Moon and its psychological energy

ose under the in uence of the Moon are sensitive, vulnerable, emotional,
compassionate and tender-hearted people who can be easily hurt as they
take offence easily. ey help people who are desperately in need, desolate
people and mistreated victims, offering them all support.
ey also place great importance on their ancestors. Curious about their
past and where they originally came from, they research their family tree
and remember the names of their ancestors. ey inherit sentiency, manners
and skills from their ancestors.
ese people are not stable in mood. is is in the main caused by the
Moon’s phases created by the rotation of the Moon around the Earth.
e people who are most affected by the Moon’s phases are Cancerians,
those who are born at the 13th and 14th degrees of Cancer, those whose
ascendant sign is Cancer and those who have the Moon emphasised in their
charts.

 Moon
The Moon’s negative psychological energies

ose who are predominantly under the in uence of the Moon want to
know that they are protected and psychologically supported. is gives them
a sense of con dence. ose who are unprotected lack con dence, which
makes them feel hopeless. inking that they will be misunderstood, they
are unable to easily express their ideas or disclose their true feelings. ey
are scared of mixing with others as they do not trust anyone. Having lost
their self-esteem, those under the in uence of the Moon experience
emotional breakdowns and for no reason become suspicious of the people
they love. Behaving mercilessly and offensively, they try to justify
themselves. eir capriciously making trouble and criticising friends or
relatives leads their friends or relatives to distance themselves.

The eight lunar phases

Lunar phases are created by the changing angles between the earth, the
Moon and the Sun as the Moon orbits the earth. e lunar phase people are
born under affects them.

ese phases are:

New Moon    Waxing crescent

First quarter  Waxing gibbous
Full Moon    Waning gibbous
Last quarter    Waning crescent

People born during the New Moon: ey are psychologically naïve and
childish. Curious about novelty, they are into learning new things all the
time. New beginnings have an important place in their lives. e have the
spirit of leadership; hence they like being at the top or governing. ey
always say, “I’ll do it rst, I’ll be at the top, whatever I want will happen, you
will listen to me.” Yet, they may not complete a mission or a job they have
taken on. Once a task is completed aer difficulty and struggles, it has no
value for them, because what is priceless for these people is the victory, a
trophy through difficulties.
135
 Astrological Secrets of the Decans

The New Moon is at the 12 o’clock position, followed by the waxing crescent
and the rst quarter at the 3 o’clock position. It is then waxing gibbous and
the Full Moon is  at the 6 o’clock position.  It is then waning gibbous with the
last quarter shown at the 9 o’clock position. This is followed by the waxing
crescent after which we return to the New Moon.

People born during the waxing crescent: Being realistic they are always
aer truth. ey know what they want. ey are happy when they deal with
concrete things. ey value the material and hence invest in property so as

stops them. ey put into practice what they think. ey have an enhanced
skill of educating themselves and learning by themselves. ey are ambitious
and combative people. ey always work on self-development. ey have
the passion and ambition of trying and accomplishing deep inside them.
ey become happy with what they succeed in. “Whoever works hard wins”
is their spiritual strength.

People born during the waxing gibbous phase: ey possess the spirit of
a researcher. ey want to be useful to all by improving their knowledge.
ey are cautious. Because they are careful people, they notice all mistakes
and may be critical. ey use and invest the things they have uncovered
through research. ey are intelligent people who can do two things at the
same time. ey confront all difficulties on the way to success. ey aim to
stand out with the things they do and with their hard work. Being successful
and being made leader makes these people happy. Being thought of as an
example is a source of pride for them. ey sometimes boast. ey like
looking different.

People born during the Full Moon: People born during this phase are
affected by feelings of anger and unease. Yet they can also be dominated by
feelings of love, compassion, affection and docility at the same time. On one
hand, they tend to ght; on the other, they pacify. When they cannot control
themselves emotionally, they may make themselves as well as others
unhappy. When they control themselves emotionally, they overcome
difficulties and, being fair, they share knowledge and friendship. ey are
happy with what they have. ey also want others’ desires to come true. In
order for humanity to advance, they help other people and supportively try
to open the gates for them. ey wish to be remembered for their
benevolence. ey wish to be valued. ey like new beginnings. ey tend
to be in uenced by the people they consider important.

People born during the waning gibbous phase: ey feel in need of
being acknowledged, learning and sharing what they know. Remote places,
foreign people and new cultures interest these people. ey do not hesitate
to visit foreign countries or mingle with people they do not know. ey do
this to learn new things and share knowledge and experiences. ey look
like philosophers. ey aim to achieve a good reputation by their knowledge
and experience and actually accomplish their aim. ey have the personality
of spiritualists. ey value spiritual knowledge, psychology and inner
illumination.

137
 Astrological Secrets of the Decans

People born during the last quarter: Knowing their responsibilities, they
are disciplined and strict people. ey have already set their aims for
succeeding and rising to the top as they wish to be successful and advance
their career. ey aim to stand out by their success. ey advance
con dently,  working hard and patiently. ey are merciless and pitiless of
their rivals and hindrances. ey have enhanced management skills. e
people of this phase aim to impose their ideas, opinions and rules on others.
ey may oppress those who oppose their ideas. “Whoever works hard,
wins” is the slogan that comes from deep inside them.

People born during the waning crescent: Fixated on the past, they are
worried and uneasy about the future. ey cannot give up their habits easily.
ey are compassionate, merciful, sensible and altruistic as they sacri ce or
devote themselves to others. ey almost have no energy to struggle or ght.
ey cannot protect themselves against negative situations or difficulties.
Self-secluding, they distant themselves from the rest of the society and live
in their own world. inking or feeling that they are unwanted or unloved,
they grieve and suffer. ey have to face the events developing out of their
control. Unhappy with all these events, they think they are being sacri ced
for them. If they can overcome all these negativities they may start a new
and happy life. If however, they cannot overcome negativities and accept
defeat by saying, “It’s my fate, I give in,” they are destined to suffer and be
unhappy forever.

The energy of sense granted by the Moon

e energy of the Moon is emotional, sensitive, sentimental and fragile.

Whichever planet it contacts it grants to it one of its emotions. It wants to be
owned, and wants to be sure that it is loved and protected. e energy of the
Moon needs trust as well as emotional quietness. It distances itself from
places where there is no love or respect and where is fear. Whenever it faces
obstacles, difficulties, discomfort and unhappiness, it disappears into a world
of its own.

138
 Moon
e energy of the Moon is maternal, feminine, fertile, nutritious and
protective. By all these energies, it tends to protect the ones it loves. It is
feminine, thus it wishes to reproduce, feed and nurture. It is productive and
hence wishes to fertilise and strengthen.
e Moon’s energy is inclined to be receptive. Disclosing its quality of
compassion, it tends to receive more and more. Whatever it has taken, it
shapes, feeds, nurtures and sends back as the energy of life. Sentimental
assurance is what the Moon’s energy needs.

The calming power energy the Moon grants to the Sun

e ruling planet of Leo, strong in the third decan of Sagittarius and the
second decan of Aries, the Sun is constructive, powerful, honourable and
proud. It is full of the energies of con dence, power and courage. Solely
relying on its own power, the Sun tends to be constructive. It aims to
succeed and eventually becomes successful. It is the life, the power it has
accomplished. It boasts with what it has achieved.
e Sun, which grants life energies to the universe, knows which way to
go and is aware of the possible obstacles it may face. It also knows how to
deal with and ght those obstacles as it is a brave, fearless warrior. Being
organised, it knows how to accomplish its aims easily, and it succeeds in
whatever it attempts, since it is full of power energies. And so it becomes
happy and publicises its success to the world. It becomes so proud of its own
success that its pride turns into arrogance. e Moon approaches the Sun
and soens the Sun’s pride and arrogance through its tenderness and
compassion. rough its tenderness and loyalty, the Moon nurtures the
Sun’s skills. It props up the Sun’s creativity. It also advocates what the Sun has
presented to the universe and nourishes it. ese two powers, the Moon and
the Sun, give life to the universe in the form of light.

The energy of memory the Moon grants to Mercury

Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini and Virgo. It is strong in the third
decan of Libra, the second decan of Aquarius, the third decan of Capricorn
and the second decan of Taurus.
 Mercury is full of the energies of intelligence, wit, knowledge, skills and
talent. It aims to spread to the universe what it knows and show its skills at
the same time. It renovates, improves and upgrades whatever it knows and
its skills, as it loves improvement. Yet it is absentminded, hurried, impatient,
forgetful and hasty. It forgets about the works it has postponed. Its mental
energies are easily distracted.

139
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
e Moon grants to Mercury strong memory energy, for it is aware of
Mercury’s forgetfulness and absentmindedness. As a result of having
received the strong memory energy from the Moon, Mercury then owns a
strong memory.
With energy of compassion and tenderness, the Moon shapes up,
nourishes, protects and ampli es Mercury’s skills. ese skills are spread to
the universe in the form of the energies of intelligence, wit, opinion, skill,
thought and talent. Wit becomes knowledge; idea turns into faith; skill into
art or talent, thought into education and, nally, intelligence becomes an
instructive resource for education.

The energy of friendship the Moon grants to Venus

Ruling the zodiac signs Taurus and Libra, Venus is strongly in uential in the
third decan of Virgo, the second decan of Capricorn, the third decan of
Aquarius and the second decan of Gemini.
Venus is full of love and affection, with a smiley face and the quality of
being pleasantly spoken. Venus is in love with beauty and hence loves
disclosing its own beauty. It tends to make its beauty distinctive and wants to
be spoilt. ere is life, happiness and love wherever there is Venus’s energy.
Venus’s energy is lled with sensation, love, beauty and art. Combining
its feelings with art allows Venus to compose the best music. It gives spirit to
art and peace to the universe.
Venus’s energy might be lazy, weary, reckless and irresolute at times. It
cannot show its power and hence needs a friend. e Moon’s energy shows
its friendly qualities and helps Venus to be rid of its negative energies. Venus
needs love and compassion. Without these energies, Venus loses its life
energy. erefore, Venus needs its friend, the Moon. Aware of Venus’s needs,
the Moon gives it inner support and grants to it the energies of love,
compassion and loyalty. ese two planets together become fruitful,
bene cial and natural. ey are kind, docile and sensitive when together.
e conjunction of the energies of these two planets spreads the energies of
peace, happiness and love. Love, sweetness, compassion and affection beat
all malignity. ese are the strongest weapons of the two planets.

140
Moon

The energy of compassion the Moon grants to Mars

e ruling planet of Aries, Mars is also strong in the second decan of

Scorpio, the third decan of Leo, and the second decan of Sagittarius. It also
shows its in uence in the second decan of Cancer.
Mars is self-con dent, strong and brave. Whatever it has on its mind, it
wants to do immediately. It does not hesitate to ght for its goals. It ghts
and will continue to ght until it wins. ere is a passion for winning
through combat in Mars’ energy.
Dangers and obstacles are the source of the energy of power to its goals.
Taking action without thinking or putting itself into danger are the negative
energies of Mars. e Moon’s supportive protection and compassion serve as
a shield to Mars’ energy and protect it from danger. e Moon’s supportive
energies give tranquillity and peace to Mars’ energy. e Moon’s energy
nourishes, shapes and appraises Mars’ courage, endurance and bravery and
the Moon gives them all back to Mars.
e energies of these planets cause fury, toughness and soness,
emotional con ict, emotional wishes, compassion and tyranny. Mars’ energy
is generous and just, and reacts against tyranny in the toughest way.

The internal support energy the Moon grants to Jupiter

Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius as well as the second ruling planet
of Pisces. It is also strong in the third decan of Aries and the second decan of
Leo. Being particularly strong in Cancer, it helps amplify the fertility of the
third decan.
 Jupiter’s energy is faithful, con dent, protective, grand, amicable, kind
and reputable. Possessing the spirit of discovery, it is full of wise energies. It
aims to present its strong inner skills to the universe. Sending its light to
every corner of the universe, it tries to gather data, which it ampli es,
broadens and sends back as sacred energy.
Jupiter is fair, honourable, favourable and wise. In the deepest part of its
soul, a grand love of God exists. is is the love that is the owner of solitude,
the giver of hope for the hopeless, a secret instructor of knowledge and the
owner of faith.

141
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Jupiter’s energy at times may become distanced from reality and may
become indecisive, restless and unfaithful. It may also become lazy and so
may shut down its sacred spiritual energies. It may be irresponsible and
reckless and also may tell big lies. Losing its faith, it may become harmful
and cause restlessness. Jupiter’s energy, which normally protects and keeps
the entrusted in a safe place, may have begun to harm it.
Being well aware of Jupiter’s propensities, the Moon transfers inner
support to Jupiter to help be rid of its negative energies. e Moon aims to
affect Jupiter with the energies of sensation, compassion and mercy. It injects
Jupiter with the energies of mercy and motherhood.
Regaining its life with all these positive energies received from the
Moon, Jupiter returns to its original state. Combining their energies, these
two planets grant compassion, spiritual protectiveness and true wisdom to
the universe.

The energy of compassion the Moon grants to Saturn

Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn and the second ruling planet of
Aquarius. It is strong in Libra, the third decan of Taurus and the second
decans of Virgo and Gemini.
Saturn is cold, distant, strict, authoritative, disciplined and ambitious.
Constantly living with the past, it learns from its mistakes. Responsible, it
completes any task it undertakes. It is conservative, strong-willed and
patient. Keeping its patience against negativity, it knows how to use its
authority.
 e only goal of Saturn’s energy is to advance and go to the top. Despite
knowing that it is very difficult, it aims to win. Accomplishing its aim,
Saturn regains self-con dence through its success. Saturn’s strong energies
of patience, willpower, authority and discipline help Saturn to advance.
Struggling and ghting against all obstacles in its way, Saturn advances and
does what it takes to get to the top. It is con dent, reputable, successful and
wise. It aims to share what it knows with the universe and acknowledge
everyone.
e universe is aware of Saturn’s negative energies of normativism,
mercilessness, lack of compassion, pessimism, coldness and lack of
consideration. e Moon injects Saturn with the energies of mercy, affection
and compassion. Saturn therefore soens its negative energies with the
positive energies procured from the Moon. Hence these two powers grant
the universe knowledge obtained through patience and the senses of
possessiveness, compassionate responsibility and pity.

142
Moon

The energy of harmony the Moon grants to Uranus

e ruling planet of Aquarius, Uranus is strong in the third decan of Gemini

as well as the second decan of Libra. Possessing the energies of rage,
violence, independence and revolution, Uranus knows no peace and hence
is always restless and uncontrollable.
Uranus’ energy is destructive as much as it is constructive. It can
suddenly destroy something it dislikes and replace it with something new. It
unveils the unknown and the unheard, and thus is surprising.
Uranus’ energy exists wherever there is innovation, change, invention,
action, destruction, discovery and a ght for freedom. It has an enhanced
sixth sense and knows what is going to happen in the future.
Uranus dislikes being controlled and is passionate about freedom. It is
untrustworthy and deprived of love and feeling. Timid, sensible and so, the
Moon quietly approaches and snuggles Uranus. No one knows what Uranus
will do, but suddenly it turns to the Moon and accepts its energies of
sensitivity, love, compassion, soness and harmony. ese two powers
present the universe with emotional freedom, violent emotions, need for
freedom, controlled mercy, protective violence and expanding discoveries.

The energy of con dence the Moon grants to Neptune

e ruling planet of Pisces, Neptune is strong in the second decan of

Scorpio. It is also strong in Cancer and fruitful in the third decan.
Neptune is full of the energies of inspiration, mercy, pity, romance,
sensation, naivety, compassion and life. Enriching its life energy with
romance, it takes delight in indulging in romantic emotions. It lives in a
dream world and its dreams, imagination, mysticism, religious feelings and
inspiration are Neptune’s richest energies.
Neptune is the power behind invisible powers. Setting off on spiritual
travels, it unveils the mysteries of secrets. On its expeditions, Neptune meets
religious inspiration and realised dreams. It also meets the artistic skills, love
of music, poetry, song and divine love. Using all these energies, Neptune
composes and presents the most beautiful of poems, the most beautiful of
songs, romantic emotions, a love of art and a sense of pity to the universe.

143
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Neptune sometimes is too feeble to protect itself and so seeks escape
from reality. It has been badly in uenced and feels worn out. It believes in
nice words which it knows are not true. It consciously disregards lies and
frauds. Negative energies hurt Neptune very deeply. Disillusioned, Neptune
is unable to ght against reality, as it is weak, passive and hurt. It needs a
friend for support. e Moon stretches its supportive hand to Neptune and
injects it with the energy of con dence. Having received this energy from
the friendly Moon, Neptune feels more secure. ese two powers present the
universe with the most beautiful fantasies, realised dreams, spiritual
inspirations, painful sensitivity, spiritual energies, spiritual exploration, and
the energies of the unseen, unknown and untouched.

The energy of light the Moon grants to Pluto

e ruling planet of Scorpio, Pluto is particularly strong in the third decan

of Pisces and the second decan of Cancer.
 e ruler of the underworld, the owner of the underworld’s resources,
and the king of the dark world who knows the universe, Pluto possesses the
energies of annihilation and creation from nothing. It ruins the established
order and establishes new orders. It causes crises, poverty and destruction. It
is an energy that owns frightening passion.
Not only has it the power to annihilate, it also possesses the power of
creation and the power to heal. Possessing secret and mysterious powers,
Pluto does not use them for good. Whatever Pluto’s energy touches is
annihilated and replaced it with something better. Whatever it values, it
keeps underground.
e Moon’s energy is scared to Pluto. e Moon is aware that Pluto
needs love and compassion and at the same time is deprived of mercy and a
sense of protection. e Moon sends its love and mercy to Pluto in the form
of light. Receiving these emotional energies from the Moon, Pluto faces its
negative energies and obsessions. In uenced by these feelings, Pluto re nes
itself.
ese two energies together brighten darkness, ease pains, integrate
desire with love, bring secrets and darkness into the light and scatter the
richness of emotions to the universe.

144
Moon
The energy of feeling the Moon grants to the zodiac signs

e Moon is not at ease in Aries for it is oppressed by Aries’ strong energies.

Aries, which is brave, bold, and fearless of dangers, is taken under control
and protected from dangers by the Moon.

e Moon grants to the patient, hardworking Taurus the energy of

ownership and thereby Taurus rmly and loyally holds onto its material and
spiritual values. e Moon likes sharing its most beautiful energies with
Taurus. It grants to permanent material and spiritual riches to Taurus.

e Moon is well aware of the fact that Gemini is skilful, a know-it-all and
swi handed. It also knows that Gemini cannot complete what it has started
with passion and ambition. is is mainly because Gemini does not have
any patience. erefore the Moon grants to the energy of patience to Gemini
and prevents Gemini’s skills being wasted.

e Moon grants to its most beautiful energies to Cancer as it is the ruling

planet of this sign. Ease, peace, material and spiritual richness, fertility,
compassion, loyalty and the drive to protect are the kindest energies that the
Moon gives to Cancer.

e Moon knows that Leo is successful, sleek, narcissistic and arrogant. e

Moon does not like Leo’s regal commanding and oppressing manners. us,
the Moon injects a feeling of compassion into Leo and soens its arrogance
and oppressive qualities. e energies received, the Moon begins to display
more moderate and friendly manners.

e Moon knows Virgo’s fertility and richness come from the earth. For the
fertility to turn into health and food, the Moon grants to its energy of
strength to Virgo.

e Moon knows how much importance Libra placed on love. It is also

aware of Libra’s skills. erefore it presents the most gorgeous and
permanent love. e Moon gives life to Libra’s skills, feeling to its inner art
and acts as a mirror to its beauty.

145
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
e Moon does not want to approach Scorpio as it receives from it feelings
of unrest and discomfort. e Moon knows of Scorpio’s jealousy,
distrustfulness, scepticism and secrecy. It is aware of how strong and harsh
Scorpio’s love and hatred is. e Moon knows that Scorpio is full of feelings
of vengeance and lacks mercy and compassion. If the Moon approaches
Scorpio, it injects the feeling of compassion by which Scorpio learns to feel
pity and show mercy.

e Moon knows how knowledgeable Sagittarius is and how much it wants

to share what it knows. Sagittarius is full of the drives of learning and
teaching. It aims to spread all it knows far and wide. e Moon grants to its
light to Sagittarius to brighten its way as it seeks to share its knowledge.

e Moon anticipates that it will be hurt by cold, distant, sel sh and

uncon dent Capricorn. In order to rescue Capricorn from all these negative
energies, the Moon slowly approaches it. rough of con dence and
compassion, the Moon makes Capricorn trust it. Capricorn then advances
with con dent steps.

e Moon grants to Aquarius constructive strength energy for it to be able

to achieve its dreams and ideals. Aquarius is clever, progressive and
innovative. rough its intelligence, it aims to accomplish the
unaccomplished. Yet, it is also impatient. us it tends to nish quickly
whatever it has started doing. e Moon gives Aquarius support to keep up
its patience. With this energy received from the Moon, Aquarius gives up
precipitancy and hastiness.

e Moon protects romantic, altruistic, unsel sh, sensitive Pisces, which

cannot protect itself. e loving, caring and compassionate Moon protects
Pisces through its quality of reassurance. e Moon becomes a light to
Pisces’ hidden emotions as well as to its inner world which Pisces is shy to
disclose. Having a weak memory, Pisces is absent-minded and forgetful. e
Moon grants to Pisces with a stronger memory and Pisces stops being
forgetful and absent-minded.

and distant. Mercury is connected to natural disasters and diseases.

electrical systems that can cause accidents. Mercury is a planet strongly
connected with weather. When Mercury conjoins the Moon in the second
decan of Libra, it leads to severe cold weather and disasters caused by water.
If Mercury makes a harsh aspect from Gemini, it leads to brief storms and
hurricanes. It causes misty and foggy weather when with Saturn. Mercury
forms a harsh angle with animal related signs and leads to diseases and u
caused by lice and mites. When in Taurus, it causes whooping cough and
mumps. When in Aries, small cattle becomes ill and people suffer from
amnesia. When Mercury and Mars conjoin, it leads to heat related diseases,
nerve tissue infection, tumours and stiff muscles. Negative aspects to Venus
cause weakness to the endocrine glands and venous blood vessels.
Contagious and deadly diseases spread from cattle to humans when
Mercury and Mars are approaching conjunction.

Astrological Secrets of the Decans
On 31 May 1996, it was announced that bubonic plague was spreading
across the world. at day the Sun was at 9 degrees of Gemini while
Neptune (associated with infectious diseases) was in the eighth house (that
represents the end of life and death).
Taurus was in the twelh house of sadness, endings and losses. Mars,
Mercury and Taurus feel uncomfortable in the twelh house and their being
there indicates the serious discomforts caused by illness.
Pluto was retrograde at 1 degree of Sagittarius in the sixth house of
health. Pluto represents massive deaths and crowds of people. While all
these astrological events were taking place, a worldwide disease caused by
infected cattle (that had been contracted from mites and lice) spread and
nally disease killed 1,852 people.

Mercury in Astronomy
Mercury is the nearest planet to the Sun and its distance from the Sun is
never more than 28 degrees. erefore, it appears immediately before
Sunrise and Sunset. It moves very fast at the speed of 30 miles per second
and completes its rotation around the Sun in 88 days. Each day it moves 1-2
degrees from the zodiac and it stays in a sign for about three and a half
weeks. Except for Pluto, Mercury is the smallest planet and has been known
since antiquity. Its day and night temperature differ hugely. Mercury’s
gravity is very weak and its magnetic eld lacks strength. Its day temperature
is about 430˚C and night temperature -173˚C

Mercury in Mythology

e ancient Turks regarded Mercury as very important, and every

Wednesday before sunrise they would get up and look at Mercury to make a
wish. ey called this planet the “wish star” and also believed it brought luck
and being prosperity.
e ancient Arabs believed that Mercury made one sleepy and they saw
it as the teacher of art and thought that Mercury had ties with the spiritual
world. ey believed that it acted as a conduit between the material and
spiritual world, the underground and earth, and therefore called Mercury
the “divine messenger”. e Arabs named this star Utarit. Ancient Turkish
shamans named Mercury Mergen, which means omnipotence, wisdom and
intelligence. In Roman mythology it is known as Mercurius, the well-spoken
and handsome messenger who never looked older than twenty- ve,
regardless of his true age.
Mercury was referred as Hermes by the ancient Greeks. Hermes was the
son of Zeus and Maia and in Greek mythology he carried a large stick and
was the fastest and most skilled and most cunning of the gods. He was
extremely hasty and swi. As a newborn baby, he stood and when he began
to walk a tortoise appeared. He killed the tortoise and removed its entrails
and used its shell to make a lyre, using the intestines of the cows he had
stolen from Apollo.
Hermes, with his innate handcra skills, made a musical instrument out
of the tortoise’s shell, called a lyre. He enjoyed playing the lyre as the
beautiful sound that the instrument made entertained him. e sound of the
lyre affected all living creatures and they gathered around Hermes. Among
the creatures were beautiful cows. Hermes took a fancy to these cows and
swily and cunningly stole them. However, Apollo was annoyed as he
owned the cows, so he complained to Zeus.
Hermes enthralled Zeus and Apollo with the beautiful melody of his
lyre and Apollo forgot about his complaint and Zeus about the punishment
he had intended. Zeus was so impressed that he offered the player of the
music a winged headband and a pair of winged sandals as gis. Zeus also
assigned Hermes the duties of delivering messages, accompanying the souls
of the dead to the underground and showing the way to go to lost shepherds
and travellers.

Mercury

The energy of intelligence granted by Mercury

Mercury is full of intelligence, practicality, perception, speed and the skills of

learning and teaching. Sharp perception and early learning are in the nature
of Mercury. It wants to act on the spur of the moment and learns very
quickly, but gives up easily. Mercury doesn’t want to tie up its energy
anywhere and so doesn’t focus on a single topic. It is able to multitask, but
struggles to make decisions and is easily bored. When forced to choose
between good and bad, it doesn’t know what to do. It is snappy and answers
back without delay. e youthful energy it has dominates its appearance and
intelligence. It is powerful, youthful and full of intelligence, reason and
knowledge.
It makes these energies strongly felt in the signs it rules — Gemini and
Virgo. It makes its energies felt strongly in the third decan of Libra and
second decan of Aquarius. Mercury enjoys using its energy of knowledge in
the second decan of Capricorn and third decan of Taurus. Mercury is fond
of peace making and being a reconciler. It is loaded with energies of
awareness, communication, ability, talent, intelligence and reason. To each
one of the planets it contacts, it offers its energy as a gi.

decan of Sagittarius. Mercury grants to the Sun thought energy so that it can
display its creativity. Having received thought energy from Mercury, the Sun
represents itself more strongly. With Mercury’s powerful energies, it

competition and performing on the stage. It is happy, proud and certain of
its strength. Both energies produce creativity and ingenuity. is energy of
ingenuity spreads to the universe. By showing its knowledge and creativity,
the Sun aims at honouring itself. It wants to give and create life. It wants to
boast with its creativity, solve problems and spread to the universe
knowledge, talent and constructiveness.

157
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
By joining Mercury’s energy of powerful writing energy with its
planning talent, the Sun plans victory aer battle. Metaphorically speaking,
the Sun becomes a producer, a creator of an opera or play to be staged.
Mercury becomes the language of the artistic pieces created by the Sun. e
negative combination of both energies leads to disrespect and rude dialogue,
intolerance, egoism, stubbornness and merciless criticism. Due to Mercury’s
negative and weak state it becomes smaller and is enslaved by the Sun.
The reliance energy Mercury grants to the Moon

e ruling planet of Cancer, the Moon is strongly effective at the third and
nineteenth degrees of Taurus and in the second decan of Pisces. e energy
of the Moon is emotional, sentimental and sensitive. It is emotional and laid
back. As it is so sensitive, it cannot bear to be hurt and seeks refuge from
pain and hardship. It wants to be reassured that it has emotional support.
e Moon lacks the ability to ght against hardship and pain and needs
reliable power.
e Moon is strengthened when Mercury grants to it energies of
intimacy, reliance and friendship. It warmly embraces its self-con dence.
Mercury is the teacher, and by its giving the Moon learning ability, the
Moon learns how to protect itself against hardship and helplessness. e
Moon is timid, cold and distant. Mercury with its cuteness, intimacy and
childlike innocence approaches the Moon and gives it the energies of
cuteness and amicability. e energy of the Moon shakes off coldness and
timidity aer receiving Mercury’s energies. Mercury’s strong energies of
intelligence and reason energise the Moon’s feelings and make the Moon feel
its emotional support.

Mercury
The sweet talk energy Mercury grants to Venus

Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and Libra and is strong in the second
decans of Gemini and Capricorn and third decans of Aquarius and Virgo.
Venus is full of beauty and harmony energies. ese energies are but a few of
Venus’s spiritual beauties deriving from its nature. Inborn language skill,
speech and intelligence are the spiritual merits of Mercury. When Venus’
beauty energy joins with Mercury’s intelligence and language energies, it
brings out skills in diplomacy, grammar and beauty in language. Venus is
full of love, art and harmonious energies. Mercury’s energy, which uses its
intelligence and enjoys movements of beauty, distributes the energy of
equality to every area of art. e merging of these energies brings out the
natural talents of dance, ballet, song, poem, composition and sweet talk.

negative energies sets off the, roguery, combativeness and anxiety.

Aquarius. It is strong in the second decans of Virgo and Libra and the third
decan of Taurus. Saturn is watchful, cautious and disciplined. It achieves its

doesn’t immediately seize worthy opportunities coming its way and
postpones action to the future. It knows how to overcome obstacles and
challenge hardship. It achieves its goals through struggle and overcoming
hardship.

and hasty and hasty decisions are a natural feature of its energies. By giving
these energies to Saturn, it enables Saturn to act faster and achieve its aims
more quickly. Within Saturn’s soul lie the energies of sadness, negativity,
loneliness, maturity and old age. Mercury is full of life, renewing and never-
aging youth energies. Saturn comes to live through Mercury’s youth
energies. e merging of these energies brings out material and spiritual
success, and energy involving disciplined thoughts.

160
Mercury
The friendship energy Mercury grants to Uranus

Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius and is strong in the second decan of
Libra and third decan of Gemini. Uranus represents shocks, surprises,
alteration, insurgence and novelty. Insurgence is based on sudden
beginnings and sudden endings. It is full of unusual and unfamiliar energies.
It wants to use these energies freely in order to create a difference. It desires
change and innovation. It wants to disrupt the existing order, which it
dislikes, and restore a new one. It presents surprises that are abrupt,
unexpected and sudden with its electrical-like strength. ese surprises are
new innovations, beginnings or sudden endings.
e soul of Uranus is independent and wants to be free. It is hard to
control, but it controls easily. It destroys whatever it dislikes and replaces it
with something new. Everything starts and ends suddenly with Uranus.
Mercury’s energy shows Uranus how to adapt. So that Mercury can spread
innovation, novelty and surprises to the universe, it becomes a bridge to
Uranus. Uranus is named for revolutions, shocks and insurgence. Uranus
likes to boast and be thrilled by the things it does. Mercury’s energy excites
Uranus and makes it forget its fatigue. Mercury is Uranus’s messenger,
interpreter, language and hands and feet. Mercury becomes Uranus’s
language in order to solve the mystery of the stars. ere are similarities

Astrological Secrets of the Decans
The creative intelligence energy Mercury grants to Neptune

Neptune is the ruling planet of Pisces and is strong in Sagittarius and in the
second decan of Scorpio and the third decan of Cancer. Neptune is
concerned with the imagination, dreams, romanticism and mysticism.
Neptune represents the waters, oceans, seas, ships and islands. Religion,
inspiration, mystery, medicine and viruses are all under Neptune’s rule.
Neptune’s powerful energies are beauty and ne arts. e silent screams of
Neptune’s souls are love’s tears, pangs of love and intense love. ere are
emotions within Neptune’s soul to voice its love. However, it lacks the
strength to express its love.
As Mercury has the power of language, it articulates Neptune’s feelings.
It becomes a paper, pencil and sentence to explain this love. It becomes a
bridge to unite lovers. Neptune has an inspirational soul. is inspiration
brings out music’s mysterious magic, which adds to the syllables. It becomes
life, a composition. It inspires the poet; words are formed and a poem is
born. Painters become one with a brush and a picture is born. Neptune
imprisons itself within the misty inspiration of its soul. Mercury becomes an
ambassador for Neptune’s feelings and rescues it from the mist through the
energy of friendship. By giving Neptune creative intelligence energy,
Mercury enables Neptune to beautifully spread the richness of its soul to the
universe. Neptune’s energy lacks the ability to make a decision. It tends to
easily be in uenced and fooled. It cannot separate good from bad. As a
result, it is disappointed. From the positive energies of Mercury and
Neptune, dreams come true and strong plans and mental creativity are born.
Art energies, romantic feelings and delicate melodies are spread to the
universe.

The language energy Mercury grants to Pluto

Pluto is the ruling planet of Scorpio and is strong in the second decan of
Cancer and third decan of Pisces. Pluto possesses hidden secrets, mystery
and unknown treasures. It is the lord of the underworld which is lled with
mystery and horror. Pluto is the wise one, and its wisdom energy is used for
creating out of nothing and destroying what exists. It has insight into hidden
knowledge and is informed about the material and spiritual richness of the
universe and the world underground. Pluto is paradoxical in nature:
although its existence is a fact, not much is known about it; it is the one that
which sees but is invisible; it is the one that knows but it is unknown to us. It
is the key to the mysteries. It lacks the energies of pity, love and feeling. Love
is an unattainable burning passion for Pluto.
 162
Mercury
Mercury gives skill to Pluto’s secret abilities. It becomes language and
pencil to Pluto’s invisible strength and secret knowledge. With the power of
intelligence, Mercury connects to Pluto. By putting Pluto to sleep, Mercury
is able to uncover the hidden mystery and knowledge. When the two forces

surface. e negative energies of these forces are suspicion, doubt, betrayal
and poisonous language. Deadly words bring fear and intimidation.

VENUS
 g

Venus is the planet of love

Venus is the planet of beauty, fortune and ne arts. It also represents female
warriors. Amazons are believed to have come from Mars and Venus.
e ruling planet of Taurus, Venus gives out assets, money and a love of
gardening. Venus is materially oriented in Taurus. Venus in Libra represents
love, marriage, justice and diplomacy.
Venus also means harsh winds and hurricanes; hence it symbolises
material as well as spiritual losses. When Venus approaches the Sun, it starts
tough weather conditions. Harsh aspects from the Moon or a conjunction
with the Moon indicate danger from water or a rise and increase of water in
volume. If Venus and Mercury’s conjunction happens in an air sign, harsh
winds and storms occur.
If Venus is in conjunction with the Sun in Aries or Capricorn, it causes
diseases from animals and other epidemics. If however, it is in conjunction
in Aries or Leo, or if it makes a harsh aspect with them, it causes blood
diseases originating from heat. A harsh aspect causes inner ear pus. If Venus
conjoins Uranus in Aquarius or Gemini, it causes train crashes. If Venus
conjoins Mars in the ninth house or in Sagittarius it triggers weapon
trafficking between the countries.
Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus, which symbolises wealth, money
and materialism. Taurus’ opposite zodiac sign, which represents money, the
stock exchange, insurance companies, shares in stock, losses, ends and
results is Scorpio — the sign of the eighth house. When Pluto, which is
known to destroy the established order, was at 9 degrees of Scorpio and
conjoining Venus on 19 September 1987, the value of the shares in stock
exchanges saw a great loss. New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo and the UK were
the places primarily affected. For instance, in the UK there was a gross loss
of £50m.

171
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Venus and Mars approach each other once every ve years. Once the
conjunction of these two planets occurs it causes the collapse of marriages
and divorce. ere will be an increase in the number of extra-marital
relationships, children born illegitimately, immorality and sexually
contagious diseases.

Venus in astronomy

Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun in our solar system. Venus
orbits the Sun in 225 Earth days while rotating on its own axis in 243 days. It
rotates slowly and clockwise unlike most planets which rotate anti-
clockwise. Venus is never more than 48 degrees above the horizon at Sunset.
Venus can be seen with the naked eye as well as with binoculars or a
telescope. It rises before the Sun and sets aer the Sun — hence it is called
the Morning Star and Evening Star. Sixty- ve per cent of its surface, which
consists of carbon dioxide, is even. e wind speed on Venus is equal to that
of tornadoes on the Earth. Venus lacks a satellite and magnetic eld. e
average temperature of Venus is 500 °C.

Venus in mythology
e name of the goddess of love, Aphrodite, means foam-arisen or born out
of sea foam. Aphrodite was born in an oyster shell among sea foam on the
Paphos shore of Cyprus.
Venus is the rst beauty queen in mythology. She is believed to have
possessed a magnetic attraction through which she would make men fall in
love with her. According to the ancient Romans, Venus was the symbol of
fertility and the guardian of gardeners. She was also responsible for hunting
sports and horses.
e Ottomans called Venus Moon Star or Erte Star as well as other
names such as Yellow Star, Blue Star and Bloody Star. e name Bloody Star
was also used by earlier civilisations. Caravans used to set off on their
journeys by referring to the stars. ey set off when Venus rose, normally a
few hours before the Sun rises. Bandits used to stop these caravans and
slaughter the people on them. Because the bandits assaulted the caravans
when Venus rose, people started calling this star the Bloody Star.
Venus
One of the ancient civilisations, that of the Mayans, were terri ed if
Venus began to rise nearly in the morning. inking that Venus’s beams
would bring them eye, ear and throat infections, contagious illnesses and
venereal diseases, they would shut doors and windows very tightly before
morning. e ancient Turks called Venus Tan, meaning darkness-
illuminating and morning-brightening. It was also called Yavruk Star
meaning Light Star.

General characteristics of Venus

In astrology, Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and Libra. It is also

strongly in uential in Pisces, in the second decan of Gemini and in the third
decan of Aquarius.
e qualities of grace, politeness, beauty and charm are recalled when
one utters the word Venus. Sweet talk, good temper, love and affection are
the outcomes of this planet. It grants to a strong strength of charm to the
opposite sex. Venus is associated with beauty, ne arts, cosmetics,
salespeople, and social and diplomatic affairs. Fashion houses, hairdressing
salons, artists/actresses, models, singers, those who deal with ne arts,
lawyers, diplomats, those dealing with clocks, time and history, are all
potentially under the in uence of Venus. Venus is also about money, the
stock exchange and land.
Venus represents the internal ear, kidneys, throat, hormones, genitals,
blood vessels and myopia. Love, affection and romantic moments are all
controlled by this planet.

Venus and its psychological energy

ose who feel the energy of Venus are respectful, loving, warm and friendly
people with smiley faces. Being polite, kind and respectful, they never wish
to break anyone’s heart. ey speak melodiously and make it clear that they
are friendly by the way they speak. ey love luxury and beauty, hence they
love socialising. ey make themselves distinctive by their physical beauty,
nice clothes and their friendly manners. Venus’s energy does not like
noisiness, ugliness or disrespectful and tough talk. ey immediately leave
places where there is a ght or where there is no comfort or quietness. ey
do not even like sick people.

energy. Venus’s energy nds its way by love and nds life by affection. ose
who are under the in uence of Venus are like withering owers deprived of
water once they are le without love. Love, affection, harmony and
happiness are the qualities that provide life energy to them.
“Life does not exist without love or affection” is the motto from deep
within Venus’s spirit. Love may come all of a sudden. ere may be spiritual
factors that prevent love. What then does this Venus, the planet full of love,
do? It tends to experience its love fully, neglecting dangers, without taking
heed of people who would be upset or frustrated. If these people are in love
and truly attached to their beloved, with the energies they get from Venus
they are able to persuade their beloved to attach them in turn. ey aim to
experience, to feel affection, regardless of what stage in life they are in or
regardless of their age. ey wish to be loved so much that they ignore it if
their loved one doesn’t love them back.
ose who are under the in uence of Venus possess material as well as
spiritual beauty. ey also possess the qualities of politeness, kindness,
attraction and charm from deep within. Sweetness, sweet talk, and smiley
faces are their inner skills, which come out from deep inside their spirit.
Wit, deep feelings and artistic skills are the gis that Venus’s energy has
given to them. Venus presents the energy of love to every sign it touches.

The negative psychology of Venus

ose under the in uence of Venus become in general forgetful, reckless

and lazy people. ey spend most of their time watching romantic movies,
doing nothing but eating. ey are good-tempered, irtatious and quick to
fall in love. Because they do not have the skill of decision-making, they do
not know what to do or how to act. us being weak, they expect help from
other people.
Moreover, they are not careful with money entrusted to them. In the
hope of looking beautiful and wealthy, they generously spend their families’
and relatives’ money on clothes and luxurious things without thinking about
it. ere is no trick they won’t resort to in order to look the most beautiful or
to live a luxurious life. If Venus’s effect is felt too strongly, they can even
exhibit immoral acts.

174
Venus
Because they love eating, they gain a lot of weight. eir love of sweets
and chocolate may cause diabetes in the future. Being forgetful whilst young
is a strong sign that they will suffer from amnesia in their later lives. If
Taurus is strong in their birth chart, the following parts of their bodies are
inclined to gaining weight: the torso above the waist, tummy, stomach, chest,
shoulders and neck areas. If Libra is strong, the excess weight is on their hips
and tummy.
ose who are in uenced by Venus’s negative energies become messy,
scruffy, and dress oddly, perhaps wearing unironed clothes. Although they
may have nice furniture, it is usually untidy and dusty. Because they place so
much signi cance on love, they even believe in insincere love verses even
when they know that those words are not real. ey experience love affairs
with the wrong people.

The love energy granted by Venus

e energy of Venus means love, affection, possessing and loving the
beautiful. Distancing itself from confrontation, Venus prefers quiet, peaceful
and romantic places. e energy of Venus makes one beautiful and happy. It
has an invisible power of magnetic attraction and protects with love
whoever it has affected.
e energy of Venus is feminine. However, it may at times show
masculine courage, because it is a brave warrior. Yet it does not like ghting
and it keeps the spirit of warrior within its love. Venus is for peace and
harmony, for it is warm, friendly and benevolent. It is something wanted,
expected and much missed. e energy of Venus serves as a light to love in
much as the same way as it serves as a song, poem, desire and passion in the
spirit of the beloved. Venus serves as a spirit of portraits and as a theme to
the most beautiful songs. Without Venus, ne arts would be spiritless and
meaningless. Venus is more beautiful than the beautiful. e universe
cannot be without it; similarly, the earth would be lifeless without it.
Venus makes the presence of these energies felt in Taurus and Libra. It
is also strongly felt in the second decans of Capricorn and Gemini and the
third decans of Virgo and Aquarius. Venus not only grants love and affection
and material and nancial wellbeing, but also teaches us how to use these
skills.

Astrological Secrets of the Decans

The energy of love Venus grants to the Sun

e Sun is the ruling planet of Leo and is strong in the third decan of
Sagittarius and the second decan of Aries. Venus is full of the skills of love,
affection and arts while the Sun is narcissistic, oppressive, scorching and
severe. e Sun is proud of what it does as well as of its beauty, brightness
and grandeur. It always wants to be at the top and become very popular. It
disregards and ignores the skills that Venus offers it, because it is aware of
the fact that it is stronger and brighter than Venus.
Despite being scared of the Sun, Venus never leaves it. Next to the Sun,
Venus is like a moth ying towards the light. Venus aims to teach courtesy
and politeness to the narcissistic and arrogant Sun. Petri ed of the Sun’s
hubris and might, Venus withdraws. Yet, through its politeness, love, and
respect, Venus succeeds in transferring its skill of arts, grandeur, love and
benevolence without the Sun noticing. Having received these strong
energies from Venus, the Sun begins to show its life-giving and creative side.
It shows material as well as spiritual values in art, grand places and in
luxury. It knows how much it is effective and resplendent, and it is proud of
this. e life-giving energy in conjunction with the energy of love gives the
universe life and love. e Sun’s narcissism, self-centredness and arrogance,
which are the negative sides of the Sun, are taken under control by Venus
through its love and goodwill.

The energy of con dence Venus grants to the Moon

e ruling planet of Cancer, the Moon is powerful in Pisces and at the third
and ninth degrees of Taurus. e Moon aims to protect the ones it lives by
its love and compassion, and also it wants them to be safe. It needs inner
peace for it wants to peacefully live in a quiet environment. It tends to
retreat to its inner world when it faces a reaction. Being shy, it does not ask
anyone for anything. It is weak, desperate and is de nitely in need of help
and support.

176
Venus
rough its soness, warmth, friendliness and benevolence, Venus
supports the Moon to embrace its self-con dence. Receiving these energies
from Venus, the Moon gains self-con dence and begins to protect its
beloved ones. Protecting them, the Moon reaches its inner bliss, which
consequently makes it happy.
e energy of the Moon needs love and affection. When the sensitive
and emotional Moon feels disrespect, it starts grieving and so retreats into
its own dream world. It consoles itself with Venus’s love melodies. By
transferring its love and affection energies to the Moon, Venus helps the
Moon leave its dream world and reach happiness. e Moon means light,
emotions, love and compassion. It is the silver-haired queen of evenings.

The energy Venus grants to Mercury

Mercury is the ruling planet of Virgo and Gemini as well as being dominant
in the third decans of Libra and Capricorn and the second decans of
Aquarius and Taurus. Words nd life through Venus’s energy. It becomes
more powerfully effective through lyrical harmony, and hence composes a
sweet and uent language.
Together with Mercury, Venus serves as notes and lyrics, as well as
composition, to the most beautiful songs. It also serves as words to singers,
and beautiful writings to papers; it serves as a pen to hands. Furthermore, it
serves as a source of inspiration to poets. It serves as a sweet talk to love,
bringing happiness. Elegance, politeness and the energy of balance arise as a
result of the combination of these two energies.
ese two energies spread out the light of power to the whole universe.
Venus injects its art skills into Mercury’s technical and practical skills. In this
way, Mercury creates the best writing, the sweetest talk and the best wit.
Harmony, love and balance, which are the goods of Venus, amalgamate with
Mercury’s energy and bring about diplomatic intermediary energy. e
strength of this energy paci es con ict and distinguishes the just from the
unjust as well as offering the energy of peace, harmony and justice to the
universe. Venus grants to harmony and coherence to Mercury’s tattling and
prattling manners and indecisiveness and Venus takes these negative
energies under control.

Astrological Secrets of the Decans
The energy of love Venus grants to Mars

Besides being strongly in uential in the third decan of Leo and the second
decan of Sagittarius, Mars is the ruling planet of Aries and Scorpio. Mars
aims to obtain and possess, thus it achieves in procuring whatever it has
aimed. It is also passionate for beauty.
Within the energy of Mars, the aim to obtain is as intense as the instinct
to hunt. While Mars is the hunter, Venus is the prey. Yet, unaware of being
hunted by its prey, Mars is defeated by Venus’s energy of beauty and love.
Mars therefore craves to obtain and possess. Hence Mars ghts for love and
the more it ghts, the more it craves love, and the more passionate it
becomes. An invincible combatant, Mars paradoxically is defeated by beauty
and love. Power is now subdued by beauty.
Being hit by the bullets of love and beauty, Mars admits defeat and is
subdued by love. Both energies together spread passionate love energy to the
universe. Venus presents the most passionate and the most intense love to
Mars. e feelings of passion, love and sexual attraction are the outcome of
these two energies. Mars is full of intense ferocity and violence, thus it is not
easy to tame or control it. e only power that makes Mars calm is Venus’s
charm, beauty and care. Sexual attraction, charm and strong feelings are the
spiritual values that these two planets offer the universe.

The energy of love Venus grants to Jupiter

e ruling planet of Sagittarius, and the second ruling planet of Pisces,

Jupiter is also strong in the third decans of Cancer and Aries and the second
decan of Leo. Warm and friendly, Venus and Jupiter are full of the energies
of goodwill, fortune, chance and benevolence.
Strong religious faith also lies in Jupiter’s energy. Since Jupiter aims to
spread these intense feelings, Venus supports and helps it by opening up
opportunities to travel to far places. Jupiter aims to share the skills of
wisdom, fortune and its intense faith with the whole universe and it achieves
its aim. Jupiter is the planet of benevolence and fortune. It offers popularity,
job opportunities, education and marriage in remote countries, but Jupiter
does this with the aid of Venus. Jupiter has the weaknesses of laziness,
irresponsibility and breaking of promises.
Its worst negative traits are unmannerliness and greediness. Seeing these
negativities as disgusting, vulgar and tawdry, Venus injects Jupiter with the
energies of politeness and manners.

Venus

The energy of friendliness Venus grants to Saturn

e ruling planet of Capricorn as well as the second ruling planet of

Aquarius, Venus is also strong in Libra and in the third decan of Taurus and
the second decans of Virgo and Libra.
 Saturn is full of the energies of exhaustion, unhappiness, loneliness and
lack of con dence. Venus is however full of the energies of peace, love and
life, which Saturn lacks in essence. Venus offers these energies to Saturn and
hence Saturn forgets about the negative energies it possesses. Finding life
through Venus’s energy of love, Saturn now knows that it is not all alone.
Saturn’s energy is patient with a strong willpower. Unfearful of impediments
and hardiness, Saturn never achieves anything easily. It struggles and ghts
by itself, all alone. It nds peace through the smoothening and consoling
energy of Venus.
Moreover, Saturn’s energy is hardworking, wise, disciplined and
industrious. rough hard work, it proves it can reach the top without
needing anyone’s support. It never becomes spoiled or snobbish, because it
knows where it has come from and where it is going. us it aims to give the
message of, “Whoever works hard, gains” to the whole world. Venus rewards
Saturn with spiritual as well as material gis.
rough the strong lights of Venus’s energies, Saturn presents what it
knows to the world.

The energy of peace Venus grants to Uranus

e ruling planet of Aquarius, Uranus is also strong in the second decan of

Libra and the third decan of Gemini. e energy of Venus is full of love and
is understanding, polite and blissful. Opposed to Uranus’ insensible, cold,
unfriendly, and reckless energies, Venus, disregarding its own politeness and
thoughtfulness, starts to reveal its combative side. Venus will ght against
Uranus’ recklessness and insensibility. Uranus, which does not like being
de ed, reacts against the energies from Venus.
With abrupt rage and violence, Uranus unveils its anger. However,
unaccustomed to such a challenge, Venus ghts using its beauty and charm
as weapons. Fighting against beauty and charm, Uranus suddenly falls in
love with Venus. Yet, hurt by Uranus’ impolite, disgraceful, reckless and
violent manners, Venus does not respond to Uranus’ love, and leaves it with
a Platonic love. When Venus, which is full of love and affection, come in
conjunction with noncompliant, independent energies, they spread
terrifying love energies to the world. ese love energies defy the established
order and challenge traditional ways. ey are the energies which are not
expected, desired or sought.

Astrological Secrets of the Decans

The energy of happiness Venus grants to Neptune

e ruling planet of Pisces, Neptune is strong in Sagittarius and in the

second decan of Cancer and third decan of Scorpio. Like Venus, Neptune
gives importance to love, romantic feelings, dance, beauty and ne arts. e
combination of these two energies brings about spiritual loyalty, deep
feelings and artistic skills. e energy of Neptune is naïve; hence it believes
in something or someone very quickly and falls in love very quickly.
However, it does not always nd a response to its love. Hopeless, crazed
Neptune is not strong enough to challenge hopeless situations.
Due to emotional pain, it retreats to its own inner world. Weak and
passive, Neptune cannot articulate its thoughts or express itself clearly. It is
so sensitive, emotional and lonely that it does not know what to do. It is
desperately in love for it has deep feelings. Yet it cannot express or show its
love. us its feelings turn to madness. It nds its world in the most
sorrowful songs and emotional poems. It has started to live in this world full
of love and sorrow. rough the energies of love, and passion, Venus
presents Neptune with a reciprocal love. Having taken these energies from
Venus, Neptune begins to live a love story in a state of madness.

The negative love energy Venus grants to Pluto

e ruling planet of Scorpio, Pluto is also strong in the second decan of

Cancer and the third decan of Pisces. Pluto is full of the energies of death,
rebirth and creation. Feelings of desire, violence, intimidation and revenge
all come from deep inside Pluto’s spirit. It has the power of healing
physically as well as spiritually. It annihilates totally whatever has expired or
gone out of fashion and new things are immediately phased in. Never
admitting defeat or betrayal, Pluto always punishes in delity.

180
Venus
 Love and affection for Pluto mean passion, desire and the aim to
acquire. Once obtained, it no longer has value to Pluto. Possessing the
energies of love and affection, Venus grants to Pluto immortal love. is love
which is to be triumphed over will be procured not easily, but through
combat. e feelings of love and hate of Pluto are very intense. e
combination of Venus and Pluto’s energies creates immortal love and
passion and grants to them to the universe. e instincts to annihilate and
bury, which are the negative energies of Pluto, play a prominent role in the
death of love. Pluto in general kills, annihilates and buries love.

MARS
 h

Mars is potent and powerful

Mars has strong willpower, and is honest, and courageous. us it loves
ruling and leading. It has the power to annihilate, dry and burn to death. As
well as its well-known impatience, Mars paradoxically possesses a peculiar
strength to resist and endure, which helps it keep up the battle. It is honest,
brave, and full of masculine energies. Because it has such strong willpower, it
challenges and withstands against every sort of pain. Whichever planet it
contacts, it transfers to it its qualities of skills, willpower, quick decision-
making, honesty and bravery. Mars also grants to the skills and energies of
repairing spiritual as well as physical pains.

Mars in astronomy

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the solar system and traverses the
whole zodiac in twenty-two months staying forty to forty- ve days in each
sign. Its atmosphere is one hundred times thinner than the Earth’s
 g
atmosphere. Mars’ surface is covered with meteor craters as well as
volcanoes and valleys.
Primarily composed of dust and rock, its surface looks like a desert
where frequent sand storms are observed. Mars’ two main satellites,
discovered by Asaph Hall in 1877) are Phobos (meaning panic/fear) and
Deimos (terror/dread). Mars can be seen with the naked eye. Its average
temperature is -63°C. When looked at with the naked eye, it appears yellow,
orange or reddish.

Mars in mythology

Babylonians used to call the planet the scorching Sun in summer, and
referred to contagious plagues as Negal meaning Mars, while the ancient
Greeks called Mars Aries. Mars was the god of war to the ancient Romans. It
is also known as Mangala to Hindus. Mars was known as Merrikh in Turkish
and was known as Sakit to the ancient Turks, which means heroism. e
Persians used to call it Bahram, meaning faith. e Chinese, Japanese,
Koreans and Vietnamese realised that whenever Mars approached the world
there were more res. For this reason, they called it the re star. e Incas
developed a Mars calendar which consisted of 687 days.
e ruling planet of Aries, Mars is strong in the third decan of Leo and
the second decan of Sagittarius.

General characteristics of Mars

Mars rules ghts, wars, crushes, res, volcano eruptions and deaths.
Additionally, Mars represents machines, cars, and sharp and bladed objects,
sex, impatience, abrupt violence and fury.
Mars is brave, courageous and adventurous and has an inner drive to
win. Armies, soldiers, police, leaders are all ruled by Mars. ose who use
knives, scissors and iron, such as surgeons and blacksmiths are under Mars’
in uence. Mars also rules martial sports and car races.
Mars is the ruling planet of Aries as well as being the second ruling
planet of Scorpio. Mars is the ruling planet of Aries and Scorpio, the third

ose who under the effect of Mars’ energy make themselves distinctive
through their qualities of friendliness and impatience. Con dent, they speak
boldly with high intonation. ey are determined, strong people with
willpower who are difficult to control. ey are self-con dent people who
love controlling as they possess the spirit of leadership. ey always want to
be at the top, and never admit defeat. What they want they take no matter
what. And they do not heed people they may have upset or disappointed.

192
Mars
People who are predominantly under the in uence of Mars’ energy love
harsh and difficult sports. Curious about sharp and bladed things, some of
them have a gun or knife collection at their home. Not only are they are fond
of hunting sports, they also they love races and wrestling. ey like hot and
spicy food.
ey are fearless people who love leading and ruling others. ey have
the strong will to be at the top and possess leadership qualities along with a
desire to embrace invincibility, for they are determined and ambitious
people. ere is nothing they cannot do through sheer determination and
ambition.
Furthermore, these people never tolerate injustice, brutality or betrayal.
If cheated, they will de nitely take revenge in the same way by cheating.
ey endure brutality patiently knowing that one day they can demand
payback from the instigator, making the punishment t the crime. Never
tolerating injustice, they never hold back from ghting. ey defend both
their own rights and those of the weak. ey are courageous, bold and brave
people, merciful, compassionate and conscientious. ey have a childlike
innocence.

The negative psychological effects of Mars

 ose who have operate under the negative psychological effects of
Mars can be distinguished by their ambitious, aggressive and commanding
manners. No matter what, even if they do it by force, they obtain whatever
they wish to gain. Speaking very harshly and severely, even if it is about
something trivial or unimportant they become outraged and begin to
quibble or argue or even ght. erefore, they intimidate and frighten others
so as to be able to get done whatever they wish to get done.
ings may not always go the way that they want. e argument may
lead to a ght with people who are physically more powerful than them.
Whatever they nd around them they throw, smash and break, as Mars
always wants to overcome and defeat. No matter what, Mars usually wins.
ose who are under the in uence of Mars’ energy are tough, merciless,
pitiless and tough. Mars wishes to obtain, gain and possess, which it does
through physical strength, oppression and by upsetting others. Yet, whatever
gained is now worthless, valuable to Mars. What is more important is the
fact that it has achieved its aim; it has gained, and possessed. e rest means
nothing.

193
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
If Mars’ energy has affected these people severely, they bring bad luck to
the places they visit. Uneasy and hot-tempered, they are inclined to ghting.
If they cannot nd anyone to ght, they create an imaginary enemy in their
mind with whom they ght. Mars sel shly and recklessly wants to get what
others possess.

The power of energy granted by Mars

Mars represents wars, res and unexpected events. It is also the trigger for
natural catastrophes. Hence, it prompts them by granting planets all of its
erce and powerful energy.
Its conjunction with Uranus causes volcanic eruptions, accidents and
wars. When it conjoins Pluto, or makes a harsh aspect with it, numerous
deaths are observed. Additionally, when it conjoins Saturn or makes a harsh
aspect with it, it triggers mining accidents and plagues.
When WWII broke out in 1939, Mars, representing wars, was in
opposition to Pluto and also squaring Saturn. At this time, Hitler had
already launched his systematic genocide of the Jews. Also, when the Great
Fire of London occurred on 2 October 1666, the powers which represent
res, ames and explosions, Pluto and Mars, were in square. Jupiter (which
developed, enlarged, intensi ed and scattered the event) was square Pluto
and Mars.
On 17 July 2001 Mount Etna exploded. e eruptive planets Mars and
Pluto (which symbolise res and explosions) conjoined in Sagittarius,
causing things to go badly and the effects to intensify.

The power of energy Mars grants to the Sun

Being the ruling planet of Leo, the Sun is also strong in the second decan of
Aries and the third decan of Sagittarius. Mars provides the Sun with the
skills of revealing its strength, pride, and honour in an honest manner. Mars
boldly injects the Sun with the energy of unveiling the drives to bravely
dominate, possess and command. e qualities of creativity and bringing
into existence that the Sun possesses are triggered by Mars’ constructive
energy. Not only does Mars react against the Sun’s energies of excessive
arrogance and narcissism, it also it grants to the Sun willpower and honesty
against self-centredness and tyranny. e life-giving negative energies of
these two powers cause destruction, collapse and loss of property as well as a
loss of spiritual values, natural disasters and res.

The energy of con dence Mars grants to the Moon

e Moon is the ruling planet of Cancer and is strong at 3 and 19 degrees of

Taurus, and in Pisces.
Mars grants to the Moon the courage to embrace its self-con dence. It
also encourages the Moon to protect its loved ones. e Moon, which
hesitates against and fears responsibility, receives the con dence transferred
from the Mars and so is able to defeat its own state of passivity as well as
shyness. It begins to take responsibility.
With the energy injected by Mars, the Moon starts to protect its loved
ones, because the Moon is now full of maternal emotions and a
compassionate spirit received from Mars. e Moon aims for security, peace
and the strength to beat its own passivity and weaknesses. Mars adds the
energy for self-defence to the Moon. However, if Mars possesses negative
energies, it causes sudden violence and fury, which give the Moon
discomfort, unhappiness, fear and anxiety.

The constructive power Mars grants to Mercury

Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini and Virgo as well as being strong in
the third decans of Libra and Virgo and the second decans of Aquarius and
Capricorn. Mars helps Mercury to con dently use its own skills of speech,
writing, negotiation, learning and teaching. Not only does it encourage
Mercury to use its practical wit and reason, it also it shows Mercury how to
use those skills effectively. Mars intervenes into Mercury’s negative traits of
incessant yapping, gossipy, caprice and getting angry for no reason. Mars
teaches Mercury how to bring these negative traits under control.
Furthermore, with the willpower Mars gives to Mercury, Mercury learns
how to not be anxious or uncomfortable.

195
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Mercury is also known to be forgetful, absent-minded, indecisive and
pessimistic. Mars repairs forgetfulness and absent-mindedness through its
constructive and positive energies, while strongly challenging Mercury’s
indecisiveness and pessimism. It also gives Mercury the skill to make
decisions quickly.
However, if the, one of the negative sides of Mercury and Mars’
qualities of quickness, promptness, and agile movements coming together,
occurs the consequences could be some sort of robbery. On the other hand,
if the positive energies of Mercury, which relate to words and speech, come
together with the negative energies of Mars there may be
miscommunication as well as dirty talk.

The strength of attraction Mars grants to Venus

Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and Libra; it is also strong in the second
decan of Gemini and the third decan of Aquarius. To Venus’s qualities of
love, beauty, and charm, Mars gives its quality of sexual attraction. It shows
Venus how to seduce through sexual irtation. With the energies received
from Mars, Venus manifests a much more durable and unbreakable
attraction. Mars does not like Venus’s disorganisation, untidiness, hubris,
conceit and frumpishness. erefore, with the wit and willpower that it
presents to Venus, Mars teaches it how to overcome its negative energies.
Mars also injects the power to ght for love, to win and protect it. Venus
is in fond of beauty, and loves beauty and affection. us Mars grants to
Venus the energy to use its beauty con dently. e energies of passion,
stimulation and lust that Mars possesses strengthen Venus and with these
energies Venus spreads out life energy to the universe.

The strength of energy Mars grants to Jupiter

Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius as well as being strong in Pisces, the
third decan of Aries and the second decan of Leo. e energy of Jupiter
makes people likely to venture into business in a foreign country. Yet this
courage comes from Mars. Mars creates business opportunities with
foreigners for Jupiter or encourages them to do business with foreign
businessmen. Mars also grants to Jupiter the strength and durability to
spread its faith and knowledge to afar places. To Jupiter, who is about to lose
faith due to miscalculations and misevaluations, Mars presents the energy of
courage so as to allow it continue its struggle and ght with determination.

196
Mars
Jupiter wishes to teach what it knows. Jupiter is a philosopher and so
aims to gain spiritual values by offering material as well as spiritual
knowledge. Aiming to win spiritual rewards, it desires the willpower to
struggle and patience to overcome impediments and difficulties. However,
Mars cannot give Jupiter patience as it does not have any. By mixing the
energy obtained from Mars with its own power, Jupiter achieves success and
its rewards, making it feel proud of itself. e combination of the negative
sides of these two powers causes unexpected consequences to develop to
lethal dimensions.

The strength of energy Mars grants to Saturn

Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn and the second ruling planet of
Aquarius. It is also in uential in the third decan of Taurus and the second
decan of Virgo. Mars encourages Saturn to overcome difficulties by
providing power to Saturn’s hard work, patience, willpower and durability.
In order for Saturn to preserve its wisdom and discipline, Mars grants to it a
certain power of endurance. By presenting its willpower, Mars helps Saturn
to heal its depression, which is the consequence of its repressed feelings,
disappointment and hidden fears. Mars also grants to the power to Saturn to
ght against solitude.
Saturn tries hard to succeed, to win, but cannot reach what he aims
towards easily, hence he falls, exhausted, feeble and torn. With the
determination that Mars gives, he does not step back from what he aims for.
Eventually, he reaches the top through using the energy Mars granted.
Mars gives Saturn positive energy to overcome its negativities of
stubbornness and coldness. If, however, Saturn denies those energies and
continues, then Mars harshly threatens Saturn. Obstinate Saturn denies
defeat. Never admitting defeat, these two powers consequently cause the
energies of exasperation, fury, annihilation and devastation.

Astrological Secrets of the Decans
The energy of power Mars grants to Neptune

e ruling planet of Pisces, Neptune is strong in the third decan of Cancer

and the second decan of Scorpio. Mars transfers to Neptune the courage to
unveil the supremacy behind the invisible power. Mars also presents
Neptune with the constructive energy to write beautiful poems and to
manifest its skills in music and romantic feelings. Mars also helps Neptune
to reveal its healing power.
Neptune’s negative trait is to escape from reality and retreat to its own
world, resulting in self-neglect. Mars gives Neptune the energy of power to
face reality. Mars also presents Neptune with the energy to ght against
weakness. With the energy of self-defence, Neptune learns to self-preserve
itself and not to submit to lies, cheats and oppression. e negative energies
of these two powers, which are in uenced by water and re, causes
shipwrecks, danger from cold and hot water as well as sh deaths due to sea
pollution. It also shows that dreams will not come true or plans will not be
realised.

The life energy Mars gives to Pluto

e ruling planet of Scorpio, Pluto is also strong in the second decan of

Cancer and the third decan of Pisces. rough hard work and struggle, Mars
exposes the secrets that Pluto has buried. In order to reiterate, revitalise,
rejuvenate and bring into existence from nothing, Mars gives Pluto the
energy of life. Keeping Pluto’s hidden and buried anger under control, Mars
also prevents its power to eradicate. It also challenges the oppressions and
punishments coming from Pluto. It reacts to the instincts to intimidate and
appal, while giving it constructive energy. In order for Pluto to use its
healing power (which is one of its hidden jewels) it combines its energies
with Mars’ and Mars injects Pluto with curing energy. Having borrowed all
these energies from Mars, Pluto, by using its skill of bringing into existence
from nothing, phases in replacements for whatever has expired. In addition,
Mars encourages Pluto’s physical and spiritual renovating power.
e negative energies of Pluto and Mars are hazardous because they
cause wars, crushes, volcanic eruptions, car crashes, earthquakes and death
in large numbers. e negative operation of power and secrecy causes a
sense of fear towards the unknown and mystic world.

love of humanity and big-heartedness are the terms that describe Jupiter.
ere is Jupiter’s energy in holy places, shelters, charities, higher
education, remote roads, tourism, glamour, exaggeration, proliferation,
enlargement, spreading, curiosity, philosophy, belief, justice and law. Jupiter

203
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
If Jupiter makes a harsh aspect to Saturn, famine occurs. If Jupiter
makes a harsh aspect to Uranus, it causes storms and hurricanes. Jupiter’s
conjunction or harsh aspect with heavy planets such as Pluto triggers
spreading and enlarging of fatal natural catastrophes and unexpected
occurrences. e conjunction or harsh aspect of Jupiter with Neptune causes
disasters in the sea or ooding.
In December 1758, there was a famine caused by a drought which
resulted in massive deaths in Eastern countries. Pluto was in Sagittarius,
making the event more intense and disseminating it, and causing massive
deaths due to its squaring Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury, representing the
earth and fertility. e destructive and drying power of Mars was in
Capricorn, an earth sign. Hundreds of people from the city of Mardin in
Tibet were negatively in uenced by these events and lost their lives due to
famine.
Fertility and happiness granting Jupiter can paradoxically cause drought
and disaster. Whether good or bad, Jupiter makes it bigger, spreads it out
and multiplies whatever it comes into contact with.

Jupiter in astronomy

Jupiter is the second biggest planet aer the Sun in the solar system. Not
only it is eleven times bigger than the planet Earth, Jupiter also has sixteen
satellites. It rotates around itself so fast that it completes a rotation in 9 hours
and 50 minutes. It takes twelve years to orbit the Sun, moving forward 0° 14’
a day. at means that it stays in a sign for a year or more. Because there are
shrinkages on the planet’s core, scientists believe that Jupiter is it shrinking
by 1mm a year. e distance between Jupiter and the Earth is 365,600 miles.
e average temperature at cloud top is -121°C.

Jupiter in mythology

Jupiter (also known as Zeus) was the greatest god. e powers that Jupiter
had were to make it rain, to make lightning and to make storms break out.
Jupiter was also capable of healing as well as having the powers of education
and discipline. erefore, those who wished to get more power, increase
their reputation and honour, or become rich made sacri ces to Jupiter. ey
used to bring Jupiter’s favourite ower — clove —
to Jupiter’s temples and festivals were organised for Jupiter. Wines and
grapes were presented to Jupiter and in turn benevolence and help were
expected from him.

204
Jupiter
Zeus was married to his sister Hera, the goddess of marriage. Yet he was
not faithful to her as he used to cheat on her with nymphs, other goddesses
and mortal women. He had numerous children from the other women he
had affairs with.
Zeus had many characteristics and skills. He used to change his physical
appearance and approached goddesses, nymphs, and mortals in the guise of
a bull, eagle, goat and swan. ere were also sparks coming out of his body.
Mortals used to be scared of him. He also used to destroy his enemies by
using his lightning bolt.
According to ancient Turkish belief, Jupiter was known as the god Bay
Ülgen. Bay Ülgen lived in a golden palace located in a mountain which was
far away from the Sun and Moon. ere he had a golden throne where he sat
and ruled the universe. Stars, rain, thunder, lightning, re, wind, fertility,
science and education were all under his command. e twin headed eagles
in ancient Turkish mythology were the symbol of Bay Ülgen.
Jupiter was also known as the “client” star in Arab mythology. When
Jupiter is in Aries or Sagittarius and is ascending with the Sun, Moon and
Saturn, this is an indication of a sacred event being likely to occur.

suffering and hopelessness it cannot nd a solution to them on its own as it
is not strong enough to ght them. It is not durable against material or
spiritual pain. Feeling self-pity, Neptune distances itself from the real world
and withdraws to a world of its own. For it to be able to return to reality, it
needs the power of compassion. Merciful, compassionate and benevolent,
Jupiter gladly helps Neptune. By using the energies injected by generous
Jupiter, Neptune returns to the real world.

Aries is venturesome, fearless and brave. It does not hesitate to ght against
all difficulties and obstacles on the way to its aim. It actually reaches its aim

mastery. Jupiter improves Gemini’s knowledge, strengthens its intelligence,
enhances its language skills and helps it to make its talents reputable.

management skills are Leo’s strong energies. Possessing a strong feeling of
ambition, Leo always seeks to be at the top and rule. It enjoys displaying its

e reward that Jupiter will present to Libra is that of a glamorous, beautiful
crown.

Scorpio is the sign of secrets, the unknown, deep feelings, the power of
sensing, superior power and pride. Revenge, suspicion, jealousy, spite and
the urge to devastate are Scorpio’s negative energies. Jupiter, the healer of the
universe, heals Scorpio’s negative energies. Jupiter serves as a key to Scorpio’s
mysterious world, opening a world full of secrecies.

fertility, and material as well as spiritual disciplines. Jupiter is the owner of

215
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Pisces is emotional, sensitive and fragile. Compassion, mercy, sacri ce and
tolerance are the most distinctive characteristics of Pisces. Poetry, music,
creativity, dreams, imagination and the power of healing are Pisces’ inner
skills. Pisces’ objective is to have its skills recognised and rewarded. Yet, due
to its weakness, hopelessness and sadness, it cannot help but see the reward
slip away from its hands. It is because it is not strong enough to ght for its
rights. Jupiter gives Pisces what it deserves. And so it rules, guides and
empowers Pisces.

SATURN
 S

e planet of discipline

Saturn represents discipline, effort, respect, rules and maturity. It explains to

us the truth of the material world and ascending through effort, and teaches
us how to appreciate wealth earned from nothing. It tells us to forget past
weakness and miseries and enables us to form future goals in a strong,
resolute and disciplined manner.
By introducing difficult conditions, Saturn wants us to make an effort
and become tired. It puts us to the test by paving the way with hardship. If
we adjust to Saturn’s difficult conditions, it empowers us and elevates us to a
high status. On the other hand, if we become spoilt and don’t adjust to
Saturn and appreciate what we hold, Saturn, despite raising us, pushes us to
decline.
People who receive Saturn’s power energies are mature, right minded,
serious, distant and reserved. People who are successful through their own
efforts, without support from others, who don’t share their secrets and
worries, display their suffering and misery and who have pride and maturity
and speak with reserve and respect are under Saturn’s strong rule.
As one cannot imagine a building without foundations, similarly one
cannot imagine an order without base either. Metaphorically speaking,
Saturn is the infastracture of indestructible civilisations. Saturn is the
unforgettable, immortal reputation gained aer death.
When Saturn makes harsh aspects to other planets, natural disasters
and unexpected events are unavoidable.

221
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
When Saturn and Uranus are in opposition, plane crashes and
earthquakes occur. Unexpected events and natural disasters increase when
there is a high level of magnetic rays coming from the Sun and Saturn and
Uranus are at a harsh angle.
In 1988 there was the worst drought for sixty years as Saturn and
Uranus came together in Sagittarius. In 1986, when Saturn and Uranus were
fourteen degrees apart in Sagittarius, the Chernobyl disaster occurred.
Saturn and Uranus combined with other planets signify earthquakes and
volcanic explosions that claim many lives. Famine occurs when Saturn and
Jupiter are in opposition. Difficult aspects between Saturn and Neptune
leads to waste polluting the oceans and poisoning of sea products. In the last
one hundred years, Saturn and Pluto have conjoined, opposed and squared
each other three times.
Saturn represents mountains, hills, coal mines, small settlements and
landslides. Uranus represents unexpected violent events and Pluto
represents new conditions, mass deaths and re-birth.
On 21 October 1966 the small mining town of Aberfan suffered a major
disaster. Part of the town was destroyed when a mountain of coal weighing
about half million tons slid down. About a hundred and forty people were
killed, mostly children. At this time, the following astrological factors were
in play:
At this time, Pluto and Saturn were in opposition. Saturn was at 24
degrees of Pisces, a water sign, where it does not feel comfortable. Uranus,
which represents unexpected disasters, was in the earth sign Virgo at 22
degrees, making an opposition to Saturn. Pluto, which represents death, was
in conjunction with Uranus at nineteen degrees of Virgo, also opposing
Saturn. Families that lost their children reached solace with new babies they
had. In this way, Pluto proved its skill of bringing life to an end,
simultaneously causing rebirth.
Saturn plays an important role in regard to weather conditions, illnesses
caused by weather and in natural phenomena. Saturn is the planet that
receives the ercest wind storms. e rings around it are formed by dust, ice
and frozen rock particles. For this reason, Saturn’s constitution re ects erce
winds and coldness and weather conditions which are also the source of
illnesses.
Saturn represents cold and windy conditions; bleak and overcast skies;
fog and mist; ice and snow. When in re signs, Saturn signi es crop failure
with drought and infections caused by dry and cold winds. Saturn is also
behind illness as a result of sewage ooding and rats spreading contagious
and deadly diseases. When in an earth sign, Saturn is associated with
landslides due to ooding; crops and homes being ravaged; children
suffering from severe mumps; joint pains; dogs suffering from rabies and
diseases caused by rats. When in an air sign, Saturn is associated with
extreme cold, overcast and damp weather and tidal effects due to constant
wind. Because of Saturn’s weather conditions, u/cold, aching bones, pain in
the shoulder, lower back, feet and throat and rheumatism occur. When in a
water sign, Saturn is associated with bleak skies and cold and severe weather.
Illnesses associated with Saturn in a water sign include conditions related to
phlegm; bladder problems; lung diseases; infection in the sex organs and
gastric problems.

soil, agriculture and stars. Each year the Romans dedicated the period from
22 December to 20 January to Saturn. During this period, the Romans held
festivals in honour of Saturn and distributed wine, grapes, wheat, bread and
pomegranates.

223

According to the Altaic Turks, Saturn was Kara Han who lived in the
seventh layer of the sky. Kara Han ruled the skies, all places, all people and

224
Saturn

educator. It knows and wants it to be known that success comes from
hardship, discipline and strong will. Saturn doesn’t forgive mistakes, but it
always rewards achievements. “He who works hard, triumphs” is the silent
cream of Saturn’s soul.
Politics, administration, society, judges, architects, engineers, teachers,
mountaineers, archaeologists, coal miners, antiquarians and historians are
under Saturn’s governance.
Saturn represents the deserts, forests, solitary places, coal mines,
cemeteries, gloomy places, historical buildings and wreckage.

Saturn’s psychological energy

Saturn represents effort, hard work, resolve, discipline, knowledge, respect,

duty, responsibility, attention, order, determination and rewards.
Saturn is associated with success through hardship; the ability to
separate right from wrong, eternal fame, unforgettable beauty and the
emotional door opening from past to the present.
 People under Saturn’s in uence enter the world tired, exhausted and
miserable. From an early age, they suffer illnesses and poor appetite. ey
live their childhood in misery, anxiety and difficulty. ey barely have any
friends and learn to distrust people from a very early age. ey are always
different; more serious and mature than their peers.
Many Capricorns get used to suffering and melancholy. People who are
strongly in uenced by Saturn are committed to their duties, hold an
occupation and are reliable. ey also carry responsibility for their partners,
providing for their needs and security. ey don’t display their love; they
keep distant and are cold. ey place more importance on their work life
than relationships. eir marriages are long lasting and permanent.

importance to showiness. ey are not inspired by accolade or spoilt by
fame. ey know where they came from and where they are going. ey
appreciate those things they have obtained with difficulty.

225
Astrological Secrets of the Decans

distant and loveless way towards close ones. ey hesitate to show their love.
ey nd it right to withhold their love.
Saturn rules hard and carries the spirit of a dictator by being merciless,
disrespectful, not having feelings and being oppressive. ese people are
stingy. Even if they have money, they will say they don’t. In a similar way to
Scorpios, they will hide their money somewhere. With every issue they are
restrictive. ese people, who are hard as a rock, cold as ice and miserable,
are renowned for their stubbornness. Due to their material and emotional
fears, they lose their self-esteem and condemn themselves to loneliness.
People who are strongly in uenced by Capricorn marry to guarantee
their own security. In their marriage they don’t tend to offer much in way of
happiness to their partners. ey are cold, distant, calculating and
oppressive and lack compassion and love towards their partners. ose who
see marriage as an art, apply themselves to this art with success. e cold,

sustained marriage if they are convinced that their partners are reliable.
e women of this sign can suffer from frigidity whilst the men may
suffer from impotence as a result of starting sex early and erratically. is
leads them to push the blame onto their wives. In order to look strong to

Aries is pure, daring and fearless. It is so enraged that it is fuelled by a single

spark. Any obstacle on its path to its goal is burned, demolished and
destroyed. Anyone opposing it is burned with the ery anger coming out
from its eyes. It needs a power to ease and restrain its anger. Saturn, the
possessor of control, can provide this. Saturn teaches Aries how to develop
self-control. Having learned control, Aries now is able to control its anger,
keep calmer and defend itself.

Taurus is devoted to beauty, art, luxury, love, affection and materialism. It

can easily squander its material gains on beauty, art, love and affection.
Despite holding patience and resolve, Taurus may not show these qualities
towards beauty, pleasure, love and luxury. It has to be strong and have
resolve. Saturn, the possessor of patience and resolve, will provide for these
needs. Taurus is defended by its own resolute power, which gains strength
having received the power of resolve from Saturn.

Gemini is intimate, smart, skilled and clever. It is willing to gain knowledge

and learn. Gemini’s main richness is how it eagerly gathers knowledge.
Gemini gives importance to time; it has none to waste. Geminians spend all
of their time being curious and in gathering knowledge, however they are
impatient. With what they learn in eagerness, they are unable to conclude
with the same eagerness. ey delay and forget to nish. Gemini needs
discipline, patience and stability. Saturn, the bearer of patience, stability and
discipline, offers its powerful energies to Gemini. With Saturn’s energies of
patience, stability and discipline, Gemini gains strength and is able to
eagerly complete tasks with consistency.

Cancer appears hard on the surface and so on the inside, as it wants to
defend itself. Cancer is the bearer of pure feelings and love. It acts upon the
strength of love and compassion. Once its feelings are injured, Cancer
changes immediately. Having lost its con dence, Cancer is unable to protect
neither itself nor its loved ones. It feels torment and plagues its close ones
through timidity, suspicion and lack of con dence. is torment is created
by its inner world. It condemns itself and its loved ones to suffer in this
torment. It needs a power to rescue itself from this enduring torment.
Saturn, the bearer of power and trust, will provide for these needs. However,
Cancer is afraid of Saturn. Saturn narrows Cancer’s world, and forces limits.
On the other hand, only reliable Saturn can provide con dence to Cancer.

Astrological Secrets of the Decans

Leo is the sign of pride, creativity, life, art and love. Leo’s powerful energies
are associated with sport, art, song and music. Leo wants to shine with its
beautiful energies. It is certain with its power, and believes there is no other
like Leo. It spoils itself by praising its own abilities. It begins to believe in its
own supremacy and invincibility and overestimates its powers. It becomes
an egoist, self-centred, disrespectful and arrogant. Leo needs maturity and
discipline. Saturn can discipline Leo and help it to mature. Lessons given by
Saturn are strict and merciless. By putting effort into things, Saturn teaches
Leo discipline, maturity and respect. rough Saturn’s lessons, Leo succeeds
in becoming mature and able to rescue itself from negative energies.

Virgo is the sign of agriculture, soil, nature, fertility, health and work. Virgo
is the bearer of hard work and earning morally, perfection, innocence,
health, cleanness and purity. It is the strongest communication power with
all living beings. It is the enactor of nature, enables obedience and fertilises
agriculture. Virgo is careful and petulant and wants to be nurtured and be
the nurturer. Virgo needs time to increase its plenitude in order to nurture.
is time is to be given by the guardian of time Saturn. With the passing of
time, the soil becomes fertile.
Libra is the bearer of elegance, balance, peace, harmony, happiness and
tranquillity. Libra losses its balance through disrespect, ugliness, lack of love
and feelings and restlessness. Libra’s just balance compensates for its
ugliness. Libra can easily lose its sensitive balance and then loses its strength
and becomes miserable and restless. It requires a strong will. e holder of
will, Saturn, can provide the required willpower and Libra gains strength
and takes control of its balance.

234
Saturn
Scorpio is the bearer of charm, desire, suspicion, sexuality, revenge and
pride. Scorpio’s strong energies are power, passion, mystery, courage and
strength of will. Scorpio’s negative energies are revenge, domineeringness,
destructiveness, treason and slyness. For the purpose of revenge, Scorpio
can become destructive, a betrayer and tyrant. It has to use its powerful will
to get rid of its negative energies. Whilst thinking about revenge and
destruction, Scorpio is unable to use its powerful will. It needs power to
reclaim its will. Saturn, the possessor of will and power, can provide this and
Scorpio learns how to defeat its negative energies.

Sagittarius is the bearer of discovery, philosophy, fertility, long distances,

science and knowledge. Sagittarius’s main energies are belief, mercy, holiness
and reverence. Sagittarius exhausts its main energies extravagantly and these
energies lose their value. Sagittarius needs the power of control to rein in its
limitless behaviour. is power is to be given by Saturn, which restrains and
limits. Aer receiving the powerful energies by Saturn, Sagittarius learns to
use its powers in a limited way without wasting them.

Capricorn follows rules and spreads self-con dence, strength of will, strong
foundations and success aer hardship. Capricorn’s strong energies are
discipline, ambition, self-con dence, resolve and respect. Capricorn is
stubborn and assiduous. In order to achieve its objective, it waits patiently
and tries with faith. It waits for time to pass and in doing so defeats
difficulties and dodges hindrances. At long last aer overcoming hardship,
obstacles and struggle, it achieves the highest rank. Capricorn is given this
power by its powerful and successful ruler, Saturn.

Aquarius is a sign based on being humane, independent, revolutionary,

evolutionary, reforming and a lover of freedom. is sign’s strong energies
are genuineness, genius, intelligence and originality. Aquarius doesn’t stand
back for a moment from ghting for freedom. It does not fear making
enemies and becoming an outcast for the sake of freedom. Aquarius does
not ee from correctness, is always certain of what it knows and does not
fear evil and wants freedom. Even if Aquarius is to be expelled because of its
ideals, it persists and ultimately does what it wants. It needs a power to
control its rebelliousness and halt its disobedience. is power is given by
Saturn. Saturn takes Aquarius’ rebelliousness under control and restrains it,
planting the seeds of Aquarius’s genius, intelligence and truth.

235
Astrological Secrets of the Decans

Pisces is merciful, compassionate, sympathetic and sensitive. It is a tolerant,

self-sacri cing, agreeable and lovable sign. is sing’s strong energies are
creativity, inspiration, belief, mysticism and dreams. Pisces, by being
sensitive, emotional and sentimental, believes and is deceived very quickly.
As a result, its future plans end up in disappointment. is is because it acts
too speedily while under the in uence of others. Pisces dris away from
truth due to disappointment. It needs a powerful will to pull it back on
track. e holder of will, Saturn, will grant Pisces willpower.

URANUS
 F

e planet of invention

Ancient astrologer priests are believed to have known of Uranus’ existence

despite the fact that it had not yet been discovered. Aquarius was believed to
have possessed the image of water signs. e sign was even associated with
the rain in Mesopotomia and it was thought that Aquarius represented the
seas. In ancient Greek sources, Aquarius possessed the characteristics of
water signs (see Astrology and How to See the Future, Yücel Sügen).
People observed the water level to nd out when ooding might occur;
thus, they came to the conclusion that the intensity of rainfall increased and
the level of water in rivers rose when the Sun travelled through Aquarius
and they categorised Aquarius as a water sign.
Aquarius represents the free mind. e water being poured in its glyph
represents the treasure of thought. Aquarius was later categorised as an air
sign along with Gemini and Libra.
Interestingly, ancient civilisations obtained all this knowledge by
observing the sky with the naked eye. Since then Aquarius has been known
 g y y
as the sign of wit, intelligence, discovery and intuition.

The discovery of Uranus

Until 1780, the planet of Aquarius was known to be Saturn. William

Herschel however discovered a new planet with the characteristics of
Mercury and Saturn in 1781. e new planet was named Uranus and it
became the sub-ruling planet of Aquarius.

245
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
e distance between Uranus and the Planet Earth is 2.87 billion km.
e mass of Uranus is about 15 times bigger than that of Earth’s. e
diameter equator of Uranus is 32,000 miles, which is four times bigger than
that of Earth’s. Uranus orbits the Sun once in 84 years. A day on Uranus is
about 18 earth hours. Uranus has 27 known moons, ve of which are major:
Ariel, Miranda, Oberon, Titania and Umbriel. e brightest one is Ariel. e
range in diameter of Uranus’ moons are between 470 km to 1580 km.
Uranus’ atmosphere is formed of hydrogen, methane and helium. Uranus
gets its blue-green colour from methane gas. Only four of the planets out of
nine in the solar system have planet rings. Besides Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
and Jupiter, Uranus has its planet rings as well. e most obvious rings are
those of Saturn’s, whereas Uranus’ rings are dark and are very close to each
other. e surface temperature of Uranus is 59 °C  and the average
temperature on Uranus is 197 °C
Aer the discovery of Uranus, great social changes such as revolutions
occurred and new beginnings were phased in. A step into a new age was
taken with the discovery of Uranus. is has brought stunning discoveries
including the use of electricity, nuclear energy, radio waves, uranium,
polonium and rhodium. e rabies vaccination, antibiotics, and
contraceptives were all invented in this era. Furthermore, public transport,
the invention of automobiles, planes, telephone and digital cameras were
introduced to the world following Uranus’s discovery.

General characteristics of Uranus

Uranus is connected to the characteristics of wit, genius, intuition,
discoveries, rebellion, revolutions and evolution. Uranus is all about new
beginnings and new consequences and also shocks and crises. Uranus is also
responsible for unexpected and unpredictable natural disasters and serious
crashes which may shake the whole world.
For instance, when Uranus makes a harsh aspect with Mercury we hear
about plane crashes which are in the main caused by electric systems. We
may also hear about natural disasters such as earthquakes, cyclones and
hurricanes. When Uranus conjoins with Mars, or makes a harsh aspect with
it, res or volcanic eruptions take place.

246
Uranus
Uranus does not reveal beforehand when natural disasters will occur. It
acts unpredictably so that it reminds the world of how disastrous,
annihilating and invincible existence can be and that no one can stand
against it. It challenges by saying, “I am here, I do it, I devastate, I burn, I
change and I account to no-one for this.” As much as Uranus is destructive,
it is paradoxically constructive at the same time. It likes being constructive;
it simply annihilates the old to phase in the new. It does not like chaos, does
not make concessions and does not like being ruled over or controlled,
because it likes liberty, reality and modernity.

The in uence of Uranus

e in uence of Uranus comes through intuitively and triggers the senses,

the sixth sense in particular. Intuitive, inspirational ideas come together with
the invincibly powerful mind, which Uranus uses to create original ideas,
and uses them for humanity’s good. Uranus is the planet of the mind and
therefore strongly rejects emotion.
Uranus rules astrology, astronomy, space and science. Hence,
astrologers, astronomers, physicians, mathematicians, chemists, scientists
and pilots are under the in uence of Uranus. Inventors, scientists, patent
owners and those dealing with the unknown and unheard very strong
Uranian energy. Uranus is the planet of mind and genius; more importantly,
it is about discoveries, intuitions and unique methods.
 Ancient civilisations were aware of Uranus’ existence way before its
discovery. e Sumerians described Uranus as a very bright and green star
(see Sumerian Civilisation, Ece Bostanci). ey knew that it was related to
supernatural powers and believed it to be mysterious and magical and so
were frightened of this planet.

The characteristics of Uranus and Saturn

e de ant manner of Uranus downgrades Saturn’s characteristics, which

causes trouble and difficulty. A strong Saturn gradually takes Uranus under
control, reducing its temerity, its socially unacceptable characteristics and its
emotional outburst. While Saturn is bound with tradition and aims to
maintain past lifestyles, Uranus de es Saturn’s authority and aims to take it
under control by saying, “Let me free, I’m independent; I don’t have to
comply with your tradition.”

247
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Saturn postpones, delays, makes people’s lives harder, creates trouble for
people, limits and disciplines. It makes all these simply to give a lesson. It is
a father and a teacher simultaneously and it says, “If you do not learn from
difficulty, you do not appreciate what you have or obtain”. e lesson from
Saturn is harsh and pitiless. Saturn is the past while Uranus is the future, and
when they are in harmony the past in uences the future. It therefore makes
up its mind and says, “I know where I came from and where I am going” and
continues with con dence.
rough the aid of Uranus, people are brought to new bene cial
discoveries, technological innovations and invention. Saturn turns
developments into something damaging and hence unforgettable.
Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn and both it and Uranus act as
the ruling planets of Aquarius.

The opportunities that Uranus promises

Uranus is the planet of opportunity. It promises opportunities to the planets

it contacts or makes harmonious aspects with. While the Sun offers
creativity, happiness and love of art, Uranus gives the Sun fame and
popularity.

As the Moon gives the characteristic of con dence and the aim to become
famous within the community, Uranus gives the Moon the opportunity to
possess.

While Mercury offers the skills of speech and writing well, linguistics, mind,
practical reasoning, skills of learning and teaching, Uranus helps these skills
and characteristics to be displayed.

Venus promises the power of love and romantic emotions. It may also give
travel and entertainment opportunities; all of these opportunities are made
possible by Uranus. And again, the strength of art, musical skill and artistic
skills Venus promises are all displayed through Uranus.
Mars offers physical energy, inner drive to win, the wish to be on top, skills
in combatting and strong courage. Uranus makes Mars use these
opportunities.

248
Uranus
Jupiter may promise long journeys to remote places, higher education
opportunities, job opportunities in foreign countries and luck to win a great
amount of money; nonetheless, it is Uranus which makes all these
opportunities occur.

Saturn may give the luck in government jobs held, fame and success, but
again it’s Uranus that makes all these possible.

Saturn may offer ambition, patience and strength; nevertheless, it is Uranus

that makes these possible.

Neptune can give the strength to sense, dreams, skills in art and strong
senses, but Uranus displays them all.
e secrets that Pluto has hidden deep in itself are all unveiled by Uranus.
And it is Uranus that makes Pluto bring up new rules and conditions.

Uranus wants all opportunities unexpectedly and surprisingly given to be

appraised. Appraisal of opportunities brings success and joy. If however
appraisal of opportunities is postponed, the consequences will not be good
and will result in repentance.

Uranus transits

Uranus is not only associated with wit, intelligence and invention, but also
with natural disasters and unexpected events. If it makes a harsh aspect with
Mercury, it causes plagues, cyclones and hurricanes. e conjunction of
Uranus and Mercury is associated with planes’ electric systems and a
difficult aspect between them causes crashes.
Uranus is also responsible for volcanic eruptions and car crashes as well
as wars. Its harsh aspects or conjunction with Mars causes all of these. Its
conjunction or harsh aspects with Saturn causes landslides and earthquakes,
while its harsh aspects or conjunction with Pluto causes mining accidents
and deaths in mines. Moreover, Uranus’ harsh aspects or conjunction with
Neptune causes oods and tsunamis.
For example, in 1900 in Texas there was a severe hurricane that caused
more than 8,000 deaths. While Uranus was transiting through Sagittarius,
Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn were conjoining Uranus. Both the New Moon
and Mars were at the same position in Capricorn. Neptune in Gemini was
opposing Pluto, (which represents mega deaths) when the hurricane
happened.

249
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Uranus is also about the invention as well as discoveries for the good of
all humanity. e Wright brothers rst ew their petrol operated plane on 17
December 1903. On that day Uranus was transiting through Sagittarius and
also conjoining Mercury and the Sun. e conjunction was in Sagittarius,
which represents journeys to remote places.

Uranus in the zodiac signs

Like Neptune and Pluto, Uranus is a generational planet. When it transits
into signs, it triggers events by combining its energy with that of the sign it is
in.

Uranus transited into Aries on 13 January 1928 and le it in 1935. Uranus
revealed its royal, revolutionary, rebellious nature as well as Aries’
characteristics of being a ghter and having a drive to win. Uranus created a
regal yet rebellious generation, one that was not fearful of taking risks, got
what they believed they deserved, possessed the spirit of leadership and who
always saw the future.
is is the era when labourers started seeking their rights, and social
riots, upheavals and insurrections increased, underground agencies spread
out, crimes increased and anti-social events were ampli ed.
On the other hand, developments in health took place aer Uranus
transited into Aries. Alexander Fleming invented penicillin, the rst
antibiotic medicine. e rst carbonated aspirin, Alka Seltzer, was made. Air
conditioners for domestic use and televisions were manufactured for the
rst time. Hair dyes to use on domestic premises were also produced for the
rst time. Electric sewing machines and lm reels were rst invented in this
period. Also colour lm rst appeared in 1932.

Uranus transited into Taurus on 28 March 1935, staying there until 1941.
Taurus represents earth, materialism, nature, formation and music. is is
the period of the Second World War. e generation born in this period saw
devastation, losses and nancial difficulties. Uranus in Taurus is constructive
as much as it is destructive. Ruined things were replaced by new ones and
the new generation developed industry by devising new methods. More job
opportunities were phased in and trading was developed.

250
Uranus

On 7 August 1941 Uranus entered Gemini where it remained until 1949.

Gemini symbolises wit, practicality, harmony, language, trade, media and
communication. Uranus’ transit into a sign that it likes makes it possible for
Mercury to reveal its swiness and skills. Uranus’ practical intelligence made
it possible to invent the rst jet in 1944 as well as washing machines. e
generation born in this period values science and technology. ey love
learning as well as teaching; thus, they introduce new horizons to the eld of
education. ey also value communication.

On 10 July 1949 Uranus entered Cancer where it remained until 1955.

Cancer is associated with family life, senses, devotion, community, mother
and the inner drive to protect. When it comes together with Uranus, Uranus
becomes uncomfortable as it is full of electricity. is is the period when the
family structure began to fall apart and rules of marriage started to lose
value. People began to value a free lifestyle. Women gained courage,
independence, a sense of entrepreneurship and freedom, because Cancer
represents women and community.

Creative Uranus introduced innovations once it transited into Leo in 1956.

Leo characterises leadership, pride, glory and art. Uranus didn’t only grant
this generation with art skills, creativity, and talent, it also gave them the
opportunity to use them fearlessly as well as bravely.
ere was also huge progress in cinema, stage arts and the
entertainment world. People made famous in this period are still popular
today. Computer technology and technology took over from manual labour.
Painkiller tablets and the contraceptive pill were invented in this period.

Uranus transited into Virgo in 1962, which symbolises agriculture, stock

breeding, awareness, environmentalism, and hygiene. Huge progress in
agriculture was made and people started using the new technology.
Virgo is also associated with health and prominent inventions were
realised aer Uranus’ transit into this sign was completed. Vitamin pills and
painkiller tablets started becoming very common as well as the
contraceptive pill. e rst open heart surgery was also conducted in this
era. However, industrial waste also began to pollute the world in this period.
When the push-button telephone was invented in 1963, Uranus which
represents inventions and discoveries, was in conjunction with Mercury.
ose were born in this era are pioneering  in the eld of education.

251
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
e symbol of revolution, rebellion and crucial changes, Uranus entered
Libra in 1969, the sign that represents justice, balance, rules, honesty,
politics and beauty. During this time, leaders embraced the method of
governance that predominantly comes out of honesty and justice.
Uranus representing marriage in Libra has introduced new changes to
the marriage system as well. While divorce increased, extra-marital
relationships increased and a free lifestyle started becoming popular. e
publication of porn magazines and screening of pornographic lms, the
trend of nudism as well as naturist beaches became issues while transiting
Uranus in aspect to Neptune, Venus, Mercury and Mars. In July 1969, when
Apollo 11 reached the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus in Libra were at the point
of conjunction.

In November 1975 Uranus transited into Scorpio which represents

sexuality, secrets, underground organisations, underground world, death,
birth, power, metaphysics and strong intuition. Sexual freedom came into
prominence and in 1981, when AIDS became prominent, transiting Uranus
at Scorpio was in aspect with Pluto and Saturn. Ozone layer depletion, the
destruction of the environment by humanity, technological accidents, crash
of the stock exchange, despotisms and tyranny converge in this period. e
1975 nuclear accident and the Saturn V project (Saturn V burned and
crashed into the Atlantic Ocean while it was 300 km in the air) occurred at
this time. Interestingly, Uranus (which represents blasts, crashes, space and
unexpected accidents) was in Scorpio while Neptune (which embodies the
seas and disappointment) was in Sagittarius (the sign that represents
research, developments and space travel). e planet of re and crashes,
Mars, was in Gemini in opposition to Neptune. Also, personal computers
were invented between 1975 and 1977.

252
Uranus
In February 1981 Uranus transited into Sagittarius, the sign associated with
religion, higher education, discovery and research, travel for nancial as well
as spiritual purposes, foreigners, foreign countries and remote places. is
transit in particular embodies the issues of religion as well as education that
were put forward. Not only were new, modern and very different education
systems introduced, but also reforms took place in religion. Religious
con icts broke out in Muslim countries.
ere were also massacres and genocide, for example, the Israeli
genocide attacks in Lebanon. As all those were happening, Uranus was at a
transition point to Sagittarius in 1982. Mars, the symbol of wars, was in
conjunction with Saturn in Libra. While Uranus, Neptune and Jupiter were
conjoining, fake prophets appeared in Islamic countries.
As Mars (which represents cars) in Sagittarius (the symbol for roads
and transportation) conjoined Uranus, mini vans began to be manufactured.

In February 1988 Uranus transited into Capricorn, the sign of history,

structure, earth, career, management, and discipline. In this period, the
Berlin Wall was torn down and the Soviet Union destroyed. Being a Saturn
sign, Capricorn represents destruction, history and strong countries. Uranus
demonstrated its strength to annihilate, innovate and revolutionise aer it
transited into Capricorn in 1988. In 1988 when there was a drought, Uranus
was at the point of conjunction with Saturn.

On 8 June 1995 Uranus entered Aquarius, which represents friendship,

freedom, novelty, technology and science. Huge progress in technology took
place. Communication tools were developed and modernised. Modern
computers started becoming more common in homes. is transit also
brought revolution, evolution and novelty as Aquarius embodies science and
technology. e internet started to quickly spread across the world just as
the number of TV channels increased. Digital kits for domestic use were
invented. People who were born in this period place great value on science
and technology.

On 10 March 2003 Uranus transited into Pisces, the sign associated with
self-sacri ce, feeling of pity, romanticism, poetry, music, cinema, stage arts
and mysticism. Possessing electrical currents, Uranus unveils the intuitive
power of Pisces. In this period, intuitive discoveries and alternative curing
methods arose. An upward trend in drug addiction and plagues was also
observed. e illness named SARS came about. People who were born in
this period value spiritual illumination, stage arts, cinema, creative
professions, and science.

Neptune is the superior version of Venus and helps us to take delight in life.
us, we become more aware of our lives in a profound sense.
Neptune is the secret door to the spiritual world. ose who step through
this door enter the mystic door and take pleasure in the spiritual world.
ose who have attained the secrets of the life reach greater secrets. e
people who have attained this secret carry out spiritual exploration and
isolation from the material world and reach their true selves by surrendering
to the most superior love: divine love.
Neptune is the feeling in us. It is our secret world which we disguise
from everyone. It is the shelter where we hide from our “self ”, our realities,
unhappiness and negativities.

spiritual world. It helps us reunify with divine love. Neptune exterminates
animalistic senses in us and cleanses the lth inside us. It rescues us from
materialistic desires in our souls and it wipes clean our weaknesses and
fears. With its power of healing, it cleans and puri es the rust of the spiritual

Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Neptune is a deceitful and disappointing power and so should not be
neglected. Pain caused by disappointment makes us distance ourselves from
the real world. We try to nd a way out, but fail to do so. us we form a
world made of our pain and suffering. We think we are unloved or unwanted
in this world. We feel victimised against the bitter realities we cannot
challenge or to which we have to submit. If we manage to rescue ourselves
from grief, we attain happiness and other nice gis. We become surprised by
happiness and beauty, nice things aer suffering. us we come to the
conclusion that for happiness we have to make the sacri ce of suffering.
Neptune represents illnesses caused by cold, contagious diseases,
viruses, mental breakdowns, memory losses, rheumatism, liver diseases,
schizophrenia, hormone abnormalities, illnesses that cause weight loss and
diseases of the nails and feet.
e use of narcotics in medicine, drugs, gases, liquids, petrol, poisons
and re neries are all under Neptune’s control. In addition, Neptune also
symbolises seas, oceans, islands, ships, shipwrecks and danger caused by the
sea.
Harsh aspects between Neptune and Mercury predicate storms in seas
and absent-mindedness. Difficult aspects between Neptune and Venus or its
conjunction with Venus causes sexually transmitted diseases and
tuberculosis. It also indicates ooding that results in animal deaths and
damage to agricultural produce. Harsh aspects between Neptune and Mars
or its conjunction with Mars predicates accidents and earthquakes in the sea
as well as danger caused by hot water. Similarly, harsh aspects between
Neptune and Jupiter or its conjunction with Jupiter indicate plagues and
their dispersals to wide areas, fake prophets and fake healers. Harsh aspects
between Neptune and Saturn or its conjunction with Saturn causes pollution
of waters and seas; hence, poisoning of living beings. Harsh aspects between
Neptune and Uranus or its conjunction with Uranus predicates sea accidents
caused by storms and electrical system breakdowns due to weather
conditions. Harsh aspects between Neptune and Pluto or its conjunction
with Pluto show the drying of underground water sources or their pollution.
When the Titanic crashed into an iceberg and sank on 14 April 1912 in
the Atlantic Ocean, Neptune, Pluto and Mars were in the same sign.
Neptune represents the seas, oceans, and Sunken ships. Cancer, which is one
of the water signs, symbolises families, society formed by crowds of people,
seas and lakes. When the Titanic hit the iceberg, Neptune was at 21 degrees
of Cancer while Mars (which embodies destructions, accidents, and
uncontrollable powers) was at 5 of degrees Cancer where it was clashing
with and approaching Neptune. e stances of these planets indicate
approaching accidents. Even worse, Pluto (which symbolises
metamorphosis, destruction, extermination and people’s deaths in mass
numbers) was in conjunction with Mars. e ruling planet of Cancer and
the representative of families and crowded communities, the Moon, was
making a square to Mars. As these astrological events were taking place the
believed to be unsinkable Titanic hit the iceberg and sank and more than
1,500 passengers lost their lives. Neptune is a dispenser and a resolver. It
plays a role in the sudden loss of lives. Cancer represents families, family
bonds and communities. e above mentioned accident caused lots of
people’s deaths, hence miserable grief. Two signi cant eclipses took place in
April, 1912. ese eclipses happened in Libra on 1 April and in Aries on 17
April. ere was only 15 days between these eclipses and, as triggers of
catastrophe, they had a role in the tragic Titanic accident.

Neptune in astronomy

Neptune is the eighth planet in the solar system. It was discovered on 23

December 1846 aer long research at the Berlin Observatory. Neptune is
believed to possess eight satellites and is similar to Jupiter in many ways.
Neptune, which cannot be seen with the naked eye, has a misty, foggy,
cloudy atmosphere. It advances by 0 degrees and 2 minutes every day and
thus completes its stay in a zodiac sign in about fourteen years. Neptune
completes its rotation around the Sun in about 165 years. e atmosphere
heat of Neptune is 218°C while the surface heat is 48°C (-225 degrees). e
average heat of Neptune is 200°C.

Neptune in mythology

Neptune is the eldest son of Saturn. Having dethroned Saturn, the siblings
Neptune, Jupiter and Hades organised a contest, which offered three big
prizes: the secrets of the oceans, the secrets of the sky and the secrets of the
underworld. e secrets of the oceans were awarded to Neptune, of the sky
to Jupiter and those of the underworld to Hades. With the skill awarded to
him, Neptune uncovered the secrets of the oceans, seas, lakes and rivers.
erefore, Neptune spends his life underwater.

261
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Neptune had a harpoon with three hooks. Each hook represented a
secret: the rst the secrets of the waves which would shake the whole world,
the second the secrets of thunderbolts, lightning, skies and thunder. e
third hook the secrets of the spirits, the invisible and mines underground.
Neptune looked like an old man with grey hair and beard and a
harpoon in his hand while dolphins swam around him. He was believed to
protect people in need of help and rescue disaster victims. Mermaids were
Neptune’s daughters and were renowned for their beauty, attractiveness,
pretty, long hair and enchanting, melodious voices. Compassionate, merciful
and sensitive mermaids helped those in trouble or danger. Yet sailors used to
see mermaids as a bad omen: as a sign of bad luck.
Mermaids fall in love with humans and because they can’t be with men
they go mad. eir hair falls out, their bodies blister and they have liver
problems. Due to their suffering, they begin to live in a world of their own
formed of dreams, longings and suffering. is myth manifests in women
with strong Neptune.

General characteristics of Neptune

Neptune is the ruling planet of Pisces. It is also strongly in effect in the third
decan of Cancer and reveals its skills in Scorpio’s second decan. Neptune
makes us recall music, poetry, drawing, lm, ne arts and mystical subjects.
Neptune is the owner of the most beautiful feelings, emotional artworks,
inspiration and aesthetics. It is also the power of divine love — a power that
creates uncontrollable exuberance in people and makes them lose
themselves. Neptune is the predictably intuitive inspiration of dreams that
will come true and is also the power of invisible powers and imagination.
e harsh effect of the planet of imagination may cause suffering, distancing
from reality, drug addiction, misfortune, suicide attempts, fraudulence,
cheating and mental illness.

262
Neptune
It should not be forgotten that Neptune is a power that tricks, cheats
and disappoints expectations. Neptune cleanses, wears out and puri es, just
like the oceans and waters it represents.
Artists and actresses who sustain their artworks on their feelings,
gments of imagination, people relying on their intuition and dream
interpreters are all under the in uence of Neptune. Neptune represents
artists, actors, singers, poets, painters, sailors, ministers, and people relying
on water to sustain or make their lives.
Furthermore, Neptune represents rivers, oceans, seas, islands, ships,
chemicals, poisons, petrol, gas, mist, liquids, chemicals containing alcohol,
and viruses.

The psychological energy of Neptune

ose who are strongly under Neptune’s in uence are full of love, bound to
those they love, merciful and compassionate. Sensitive to grief and naïve,
these people’s benevolence may be misused or abused.
ey have such an enhanced sense of pain that they may even help their
enemies. ey may even fall into a pitiful situation while they are feeling
sorry for someone else. Oddly enough, whether they like it or not, they even
take pleasure in being in such a position.
When they have worries, they complain about things and pour out their
troubles to those they are close to for consolation. ey want to show how
right they are and how unrightfully they are victimised. ey are never
satis ed with love, interest and compassion as they want all these in their
lives all the time. ese sensitive people tend to believe even in fake love.
Distressed by grief, disillusionment and unhappiness, they distance
themselves from the people who hurt them.
ey retreat into a world of their own aer the pain caused by
disillusion and regret. ey are spiritual people and also draw attention by
their artistic skills.
ose who can make use of their skills get their voices heard in ne
arts, music, cinema, photography, dance and the creative professions. ey
are drawn to religious subjects, health affairs, sentimental novels, chemistry,
healing, beauty affairs and naval professions.

263
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
The negative psychological energy of Neptune

ose who are negatively in uenced by Neptune cannot ght against

obstacles, difficulties or reality; hence, they convince and are convinced
easily. ey are forgetful people, thus they always tend to return home as
soon as they leave thinking they have forgotten something at home.
Moreover, when they have a chat with someone they keep talking about the
same subject over and over again because they keep forgetting what they
have already spoken about.
ey also tend to overvalue people who are not really worth it. ey see
their enemies as their friends and their friends as their enemies. What is
more, they believe in what is wrong or lie. Falling in love with unreliable and
negative people, they suffer. Unluckily, they encounter wrong people at the
right time or right people at the wrong time.
Neptune people are absent-minded, hopeless and restless. Absent-
mindedness is a state of mind caused by their ow of emotions. Emotional
injuries leave deep scars on these people’s hearts. eir hopelessness is the
result of disillusionment caused by the people who they value. Disillusioned
Neptune people cannot battle against hopelessness and unhappiness for they
have lost their self-con dence and faith. eir expectations are
disappointed. eir restlessness is the consequence of mental restlessness
caused by spiritual suffering.
While being on the verge of what they have been dreaming of, their
dreams are disappointed. ey realise that they are getting worse and worse
aer their disappointed expectations. ey seek a way out, but unluckily
they cannot nd one. ey hope for something but are disappointed. Going
through serious depression, these people start living the things they aim for
or dream of in their psychology. Shaping happiness, love, and rest in their
minds they start living them in their inner world.
A miracle is needed for these people who have lost their con dence and
willpower. is miracle is love, affection and happiness. ese people are
inclined to getting physical and mental injuries. e accomplishment that
comes aer suffering, pain and agony will embrace a solace through fame
and happiness.

and disguises itself and turns invisible. Hiding behind the mist, the Moon is
shy, unprotected and weak and lacks con dence. Lacking the ability to ght,
the Moon creates a world of suffering and unhappiness for itself. It lives in
this world in a depressed, indecisive, and doubtful state.
 Lacking power, con dence, love and tranquillity the Moon intuitively
expects a rescuer. It is Neptune that grants to the qualities of love,

Neptune
Neptune in the zodiac signs
Like Uranus and Pluto, Neptune is a generational planet. When these planets
move, they bring forth the issues they represent by joining their energies
with those of the signs they are in.
Neptune spends fourteen years in each sign. When Neptune was
discovered in 1814, a striking romantic movement in ne arts started.
Moreover, charities were established. ere was an increase in mystic
subjects, religious and divine senses. What is more, new ndings came up
through inspiration. Narcotics were used in medicine for the rst time.
When Neptune transits through signs, it makes new discoveries
possible in the elds the signs represent. us, Neptune plays a crucial role
in historical events.

1887, Emile Berliner made the rst gramophone and reshaped it to
luxurious standards.
 271
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Neptune was in Gemini between 1887 and 1888 and between 1901 and
1902. Neptune gives inspiration to Gemini’s mental skills and those who are
born when Neptune is in Gemini value knowledge, education, teaching and
learning, foreign languages, technical knowledge, novelties, new
experiences, communication and trade. Gemini represents communication,
knowledge, education, cras, media, roads and vehicles. Changes in public
transport were launched in this period.
e Hejaz Railway was launched in 1901. When Neptune entered
Gemini in 1888, George Eastman invented the rst roll of lm. e
creativity that the planet of inspiration granted to the zodiac sign of
intelligence opened new worlds to humanity and offered new facilities.

Neptune was in Cancer between 1901 and 1902 as well as between the years
1914 and 1915. Cancer represents families, family bonds, sacri ce, security,
the drive to protect, family life, compassion, love and nutrition. Neptune

that came aer all the misery of poverty, grief and loss. ey tended to keep
strong family bonds, were all strongly bound to the ones they loved as well
as being compassionate towards and protective of them. When Neptune was

and health. e Swiss chemist Paul Muller discovered DDT while looking
for means by which to kill the insects that harm wheat and barley and carry
malaria.
e American microbiologist Selman Waksman discovered streptomycin in

come to an end, peace settled and tranquil life obtained. Neptune’s divine
skills found life in the ne arts which is represented by Libra. e powerful
and fast jet airplane was invented in 1944 and the helicopter was
manufactured the same year. e rst jet American airplane, F-16 Sabre, had
its rst ight in 1948. Atatürk’s foster daughter and the rst Turkish female
pilot Sabiha Gökçen handed her application in to ght in the Korean War in
1951. Colour television was invented in 1953.

In 1957 and between the years 1970 and 1971 Neptune was in Scorpio.
Scorpio is the sign of death, rebirth, and superior power of intuition, strong
skill of decision making, unknown secrets, secret documents, permanent
strength and underground material and spiritual powers. Mysticism,
sexuality, secrets, metaphysics, doubt, passion and renovation are the
characteristics that de ne Scorpio best.
With Neptune’s transit into Scorpio, there was a rise in drug usage, and
there were subsequent serious deaths due to the high level of drug use. is
period is when drug ma as increased drug trafficking. While Neptune was
transiting into Scorpio some people made different sexual and gender
choices. Many different sexually transmitted diseases started spreading very
quickly. ere was an increase in the interest into growth, mysticism and the
unknown. ere were also people who praised supernatural powers and
started seeking cures from healers who were not doctors.
While Neptune, the planet of seas and oceans, was transiting Scorpio at 7
degrees (the sign of mysticism and depth) Challenger, the deepest valley in
the ocean, was discovered. e hippie movement became common, sexuality
was over-emphasised while sexually transmitted diseases spread and interest
in secret sciences increased.
Between 1971 and 1984 Neptune was in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the sign
of fortune, chance, religious subjects, horizons, reaching the top, cosmic
awareness and material as well as spiritual discoveries.
Expanding, spreading, proliferating, hope, trust, knowledge, prophecy,
predicting and tolerance are the words that describe Sagittarius best. People
who were born in this period are capable in spiritual subjects and thus value
inner illumination. ose who have strong spiritual powers tend to use their
material and spiritual knowledge towards benevolence, health and
happiness. ey are genuinely skilful in spiritual elds. ey will improve,
develop and expanding the knowledge they have gained through cosmic
means. ey also do not hesitate to travel to different countries for the sake
of knowledge and to spread their knowledge they patiently tolerate dangers
and obstacles.

274
Neptune
Neptune may be misleading in the elds that Sagittarius represents. It
may be critical of religion, faith and ethical values. ere may be
disillusionments in foreign countries visited. ere may also be material and
spiritual losses.
A number of underground things came to light as a result of Neptune’s
transition into Sagittarius; one of them was underground cigarette, alcohol,
drug and weapon trafficking that occurred between 1970 and 1971. is is
also the period when animal rights were emphasised, thus they were taken
under control and protected.
With Neptune’s transition into Sagittarius, which is the sign of airlines
and remote horizons, new discoveries about space were introduced. In 1971,
Apollo 14 returned to earth aer its long and tiring journey to the Moon.
Neptune was in Capricorn between the years 1984 and 1998. Capricorn
is the zodiac sign of rules, organisation, discipline, management, patience,
reason, respect and authority. Patiently waiting for the sake of objectives,
appraising the time, success aer patience, going through to the top by
con dent steps are what describe Capricorn best. ose who are born in this
period value structuring, organisation, discipline, traditions, society and
rules.
 Brought up in a repressive family environment, these people will bring
up their children in a similar way. Having serious responsibilities, this
generation may appear authoritative and rough to other people. What is
more, Capricorn represents governments, management, structures and
ancient historical buildings.

With Neptune’s transit into Capricorn we observed the collapse of countries

and ancient buildings, drought and material and spiritual losses. In 1990, the
Yugoslavian army went into Kosovo. e country began to collapse and new,
smaller countries began to emerge. In 1987 the London stock exchange
collapsed and lost £50,000,000. e communist regimes based on the works
of Marx and Engels, collapsed. e Maastricht Agreement ECCA was
reshaped into the European Union. In 1988 a number of countries suffered
from drought and produced many economic migrants.

275
Astrological Secrets of the Decans

Between the years 1998 and 2011 Neptune was in Aquarius, the zodiac sign
of wit, intelligence, science, education, novelty, originality, evolution,
revolution, freedom and awareness. Disobeying rules and authority, going
against tradition, not being in uenced by others, believing in the truth, and
doing what they themselves believe the right thing to do are the terms that
best describe Aquarius.
is generation values friendship, sharing, grouping of people and
science. ey also value technology, novelties and humanitarian approaches.
Being distinctive through their wit, intelligence and technical knowledge,
they prove to be different from previous generations. ere were
inspirational advances in technology during this period. Linguistic, religious
and racial discrimination is no longer as harsh as it used to be. With
Neptune’s transit into Aquarius, the sign of science, the unmanned spaceship
Voyager 1 began its journey between the galaxies. e spaceship Colombia
crushed whilst on its journey back to the earth in 2003. Sadly, seven
astronauts lost their lives.

Neptune transited into Pisces on 23 February 2012 and will stay there until
2025. Pisces is the sign of feeling, emotion, creativity, sacri ce, secrets,
sensitivity, tolerance and inspiration. Liing borders, in uencing easily,
having feelings for someone, power of healing, inspirational skill and
melting down are the qualities that best describe Pisces. ose born in this
period will value equality, social justice, human and animal rights. ey will
also be altruistic people who possess inspiration, strong divine love and are
fond of spiritualism. As a result of Neptune’s transition into Pisces, its
qualities will ourish and strengthen. ere will also be a rise in interest in
the unknown. People will become aware of their own powers and value
spiritualism. ings learnt intuitively will be put into practice as professions.
Dreams, intuition and feelings will come into prominence. e power of
telepathy, emotionalism, conscience and the feeling of mercy will be
enhanced.
Neptune may be misleading and deceptive in the elds that Pisces
represents. Drugs, medicines, poisons and suicides are all related to
Neptune. erefore, there may an increased tendency towards drug
addiction, use of medicines, increase in the numbers of suicides and the use
of poisonous substances may come to prominence. ere may also be fake
prophets, exploitation of hopes and plagiarisers.

PLUTO
 J

e planet of transformation

Pluto is known as the higher octave of Mars. Pluto encourages us against

different situations and events. It also helps us be aware of our own fate.
What is more, it presents us with different lives for us to be able to forget the
sufferings of those we have lost. Furthermore, it grants us the willpower to
overcome our weaknesses. Putting an end to what is harmful and bad in our
lives, Pluto replaces those things with better or worse ones.
Pluto is a spiritual bridge between life and death. Pluto is a secret: the
secret of all secrets. It is such a massive secret that the secrets of the seen, the
unseen, the known and the unknown powers are all embedded in Pluto.
ose who manage to unlock this lock succeed in embracing secret
education, secret knowledge and willpower.
Pluto is a physical intuition: a hidden force in us. It is a hidden power
that pulls us into the deep, intimidates us, protects us, hides us, heals us and
acknowledges us all. Pluto knows the secrets of the underground; hence it
unveils the secrets of the unknown, invisible and mysterious. Pluto is a
 y
destructive and constructive energy of power that brings existence from
nothing and annihilates utterly if necessary. Pluto opens the door of the
world we do not know. ose who go through this door uncover the secrets
of the world of secrets.
Pluto is an intense source of power. It is the energy of courage, change,
power, passion, wisdom and mystery. Pluto is the planet of change, evolution
and new opportunities. It is also the force of beginnings and ends and turns
metal into jewellery. With the power Pluto grants to us, we reach our
potential power which makes us face the realities we cannot escape, but hide
from and deny.

Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Pluto represents sexually transmitted diseases, nervous breakdowns of
which the causes and reasons are unknown, epilepsy, womb tumour,
secretions of the sexual organs, anus, bladder, sacrum, prostate, ureter and
sexual organs. Underground sources, graveyards, drains, caves,
underground powers, ma as, magic and bodiless beings are all under Pluto’s
governance. Pluto plays a vivid part in plagues, unexpected natural disasters,
crashes, massacres and wars.
With the aspects it makes with the other planets, Pluto plays a crucial
role in history, in historical cycles, as well as good and bad events. Positive
aspects between Pluto and the Sun led to the discovery of gold mining as
and the rise in value of gold as well as triggering the discoveries of Sunken
and hidden ancient cities. Negative aspects between Pluto and the Sun cause
the decline of underground resources, diseases triggered by hot weather,
physical illnesses and res. Positive aspects between Pluto and Venus
indicate signi cant changes in social values, personal relations and luxurious
life and play a crucial role in diplomacy. e negative aspects of these two
planets indicate sexual diseases, crimes of passion, assassinations of famous
women or diplomats and strong storms.
Positive aspects between Pluto and Mars signpost new beginnings aer
destruction, the military gaining power and victory mainly triggered by
courage. It will also unveil the expected but forgotten heritage. On the other
hand, the negative aspects between these two planets symbolise res caused
by war, destruction, massacre, mass graves, traffic accidents, unexpected
illnesses and material and spiritual losses due to natural catastrophe. Positive
aspects between Pluto and Jupiter represent in nite healing power, the
healing of material and spiritual sicknesses, wealth gained by inheritance,
and the discovery of underground sources/wealth. Negative aspects between
these two planets cause numerous life losses due to famine, the massive
deaths of sheep and cattle because of disease, serious and contagious fatal
diseases, religious wars, murders of religious men and scholars and
plagiarism.
Positive aspects between Pluto and Saturn cause the discovery of mines,
making the most of underground sources, empowerment of military forces
and the discovery of ancient tombs. Negative aspects between Pluto and
Saturn indicate contagious fatal diseases from rats and dogs, the drying and
evolution of vegetation, life losses in mines, plagues and poisoning.

284
Pluto
Positive aspects between Pluto and Uranus trigger reformation in
religious faith, and cause the unknown and unheard natural sources to come
up abruptly and new ndings in health and revolutionary novelties. e
positive effects of these two powers indicate secret knowledge through
prophecy. Negative aspects cause massive tornadoes, strong thunderbolts,
earthquakes, res and electric accidents. Uncontrollable material and
spiritual losses are the consequences of the negative energies of these two
powers. Negative aspects between Pluto and Uranus also take a crucial part
in nuclear accidents and abrupt fatal illnesses.
Positive aspects between Pluto and Neptune cause the power energies to
be spread between people, cause healing power, tendency to mysterious
subjects and depict secret knowledge coming through inspiration. e
teachings of secrets, the unveiling of spiritual secrets and the valuation of
petrol are all the results of the positive energies of these two planets. Harsh
aspects between Pluto and Neptune cause sea accidents, gradual meltdown
of icecaps, sea pollution, travelling of chunks of mud and pervasion of
contagious illnesses due to over own sewage.
e ancient people were aware of the existence of Pluto. ey believed
that this planet had something to do with leprosy, cholera and plague. With
its conjunction with Jupiter in Aries in 1347, Pluto launched the Black
Death. e plague spread all around the world and caused massive numbers
of deaths. Being a cardinal and re sign, Aries is associated with fatal,
contagious illnesses and plagues caused by animals. Saturn’s transit into
Pisces indicated the fact that the plague came from animals; the rats. Saturn’s
conjunction with the Black Moon signi es death from disease, dispersion of
family members and spiritual losses. e Moon, which represents
community, society and population showed its dark side at this time.
Seventy- ve million people lost their lives due to the plague. Pluto is also
associated with wealth and inheritance. Yet, while inheritance made some
people happy, it made others argue and fall out and serious ghts broke out
and led to death, preventing them from making use of their inheritance.

Pluto in astronomy

Pluto is the ninth planet in the solar system. Existing deep sides of the space,
Pluto is the smallest, slowest, coldest, and the furthest planet in the solar
system. e distance between Pluto and the Sun is 367 million miles.
Cold, icy and dark Pluto looks very distant and mysterious. e planet
is formed of frozen methane, water and rocks. Pluto’s atmosphere is formed
of frozen methane and hydrogen and it has dark yellow spots.
Discovered by American Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, Pluto is half the size
of Mercury and the two-thirds the size of the Moon. It takes 248 years for
Pluto to complete its rotation. It normally stays in a sign for twelve, thirteen,
twenty-four or thirty-two years. While it stays in the sign that it rules
(Scorpio) for twelve or thirteen years it stays in Scorpio’s opposite sign
(Taurus) for thirty-two years.
Pluto moves forwards 1 minute a day. Its size is 1,440 miles while the
temperature is believed to be 230°C. Aer a long controversial debate, Pluto
was no longer categorised as a planet by the International Astronomical
Union on 24 August 2006.

Pluto in mythology

Pluto was the god of dead, underground and underground sources in

mythology. e symbol of Pluto is the double-edged sword: while one edge
represents death the other represents life.
 Pluto was believed to have had a three-headed dog, with each of its
heads looking in different directions. One faced east, while the others faced
west and north. e head looking towards the east saw those who had just
been born, the one looking towards the north saw their future and the one
facing the west saw the end of the life.
Pluto is Hades in ancient Greek mythology, the king of the world of the
dead, governor of the underground and the owner of the underground
sources and wealth. When Hades was living in wealth in his underground
palace, he wanted to go up to the world. When he came up to the world, he
encountered a young girl with very long blonde hair and beautiful white
skin who was holding a bouquet of grain ear in her hand. He fell so madly in
love with her that he spent all his time thinking about her and of possessing
her. No matter what, he just wanted to possess her. is girl was Persephone,
the daughter of the goddess of earth, grains and fertility, Demeter.

286
Pluto
Knowing that Demeter would be unwilling to give her daughter to him,
Hades worked hard to be strong against difficulties and obstacles and the
started chasing aer Demeter like a shadow. His love developed to the level
of passion. No matter what, her wanted Persephone and was prepared to
destroy all barriers in his way. He even thought of abducting her, but she was
never alone.
Persephone helped her mother sow grain, harvest it and make bread.
Finally, one day Hades secretly abducted Persephone without her mother
realising it for some time.
Persephone temporarily lost her mind due to her fear. When she
regained consciousness it was too late to gure out that she was already in an
unfamiliar place – the underground where Hades rules.
Demeter was so upset at her daughter being kidnapped that there was
no living being she didn’t ask about her daughter. She forgot about
everything else - even her main duties: grain started to dry up and die.
Demeter is the goddess of seasons and agriculture. Searching for her
daughter she forgot about managing the seasons and world went into chaos.
Life was at the verge of destruction.
Zeus was angry with Demeter for forgetting her duties. He promised to
retrieve her daughter if she resumed managing the seasons properly and
managing agriculture.
Zeus knew that Hades loved to play the lyre and so presented a lyre to
him as a gi. Happy with this, Hades agreed to negotiate with Zeus about
Persephone and eventually agreed to return her to her mother to spend
spring and summer. e rest of the year she was to remain underground
with him. When Persephone visits her mother the soil becomes fertile and
gives proli c products, but when she goes underground the soil turns
infertile again.
The general characteristics of Pluto

Pluto is Scorpio’s ruling planet. Pluto also likes showing its characteristics
and strength in Leo and is strong in the second decan of Scorpio and the
third decan of Pisces. It additionally increases its mysterious power at 18
degrees of Pisces and the second decan of Leo. Pluto presents spiritualistic
teachings at 14 and 15 degrees of Scorpio, in the second decan of Cancer.
Moreover, Pluto is in uential at 3 and 4 degrees of Pisces where it
contributes to the skills of writing detective and crime literature as well as
offering secret teaching. Pluto also gives a secret charm and beauty, success
in ne arts, fame and wealth.

287
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Pluto rules secrets, power, passion, transformation, change, charm,
sexuality and violence. In addition, death, rebirth, beginnings and ends,
giving up on the past despite suffering, rebuilding from the relics of the past,
and re ning oneself are characteristics that best describe Pluto. Pluto is
basically a power that unveils secrets, disguises values, re nes the life power
and is the owner of deep desires, of deep feelings and of deep powers.
Pluto represents power, strength, spirits, deaths, psychic events, night’s
darkness, underground secrets, fearlessness, courage, and perfecting,
rejuvenating and new life aer death.
e king of new conditions, Pluto does not pardon betrayal. Pluto loves
loyalty, although is disloyal itself. Because it does not pardon betrayal, it will
shoot its enemy using the same weapon it was shot with.
On one hand, it aims to annihilate. On the other hand, when it gets its
victim Pluto will be indecisive as to whether to kill it or let it live on.
However, because the feeling of revenge weighs more it will annihilate its
victim. Pluto’s love, hatred, and revenge are all harsh. Whatever Pluto says
may hurt and kill.
Pluto represents people working underground, miners, members of
secret associations, archaeologists, ma as, surgeons, butchers, insurers,
police, armed forces, graveyards, magicians, healers, mediums, and funeral
directors and undertakers. Death, rebirth, uncovered secrets, sexuality,
terrorism, underground sources, sexual organs, sacrum and bladder are all
under Pluto’s rule.

The psychological energy of Pluto

ose under the in uence of Pluto are into the unknown, full of secrets and
mysterious people. ey possess attraction more than beauty. On their faces
or thighs they have either a birthmark or a scar which is the sign of Pluto.
ey have a distinctive side lock of their hair. Either they have dense hair or
little hair.
Among those who are signi cantly in uenced by Pluto, there is a
number of people who are into the unknown and secrets. ese people
primarily get their powers from hair, side locks, eyes and eyebrows.

288
Pluto
eir birthmarks or scars on their faces serve as invisible third eyes to
the world of the unknown. Birthmarks or scars on their thighs or hips
however serve as tools by which they try to establish connection with dead
people’s souls or try to discover people’s secrets or unveil underground
secrets. Pluto’s signs, birthmarks and scars on face, thighs or hips always
stand out and Pluto’s secrets are disguised in these signs. ese who are
in uenced by Pluto are known by their courage, pride and strong willpower.
Tight- sted, they say they have no money even if they do. ey know
everyone’s secrets, but they do not share those secrets with anyone else.
Vengeful, they betray against betrayal. ey use the same weapon for
payback when they are victimised.
eir affection, love and hatred are severe as well. Hiding their feelings
and affection, they love living their loves in furthest and unknown places.
ey hide their affection and disguise their loves. eir real loves are the
affections they have disguised. More than love, they desire those they love.
Even though they seem to value love won through difficulty and combat,
they do not value the things they have gained by difficulty.
ose who are under Pluto’s in uence are into secrets and the
unknown. ey are also inclined to red or black colours due to Pluto’s strong
effects. ese two colours go so well with these people that they attract the
evil eye and hence suffer from headache or tummy ache. ey love gs and
g trees as they have a secret spiritual attachment to g trees.
If Pluto is in uencing them very strongly, these people like yellow and
black. Seeing these two colours together gives them peace in their souls.
ey love pomegranate trees. ey start whistling from childhood. ey
have a weird feeling towards snakes.
ey have enhanced mediumship skills. By looking at someone’s face,
these people are able to know their pasts and futures. ey like dim and
silent places. e way they talk is soothing and healing and others like
listening to these people. ey have strong rhetorical skills that relax human
minds. ey value the spiritual world rather than the material world. ey
believe in the power of luck and magic. ey look mysterious. rough the
power of intuition and spiritual sight, they prophesy the future. ose who
execute these skills as a profession procure their power from their eyebrows,
hair and eyes.

289
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
eir bodily organs are in touch with their souls. ey have invisible
eyes and ears. ey also possess supreme spiritual powers. ey use these
powers to learn secrets and the unknown. ey possess extreme courage and
power. Making the most of their powers through speech, they make friends
with important people.

The negative psychological energy of Pluto

ose people who are adversely in uenced by Pluto’s negative effects

become vengeful, angry, disrespectful and insolent. Showing no respect to
other people, they see themselves as the centre of the world and thus only
respect and believe themselves. Yet they expect others to show love, respect
and loyalty towards them. ey themselves are disrespectful, disloyal and
unloving. ey keep the passion of power, violence and anger inside them all
the time. Never forgiving adversity and betrayal, they eventually take
revenge once they have been victimised. ey never forgive or pardon.
ey are into magic, invisible powers and secret teachings. ey
communicate with the invisible existences and hence nd out what it going
on in the unknown worlds. If they are badly in uenced by Pluto, they are
tended to misuse their powers towards on their own advantage, which is a
great mistake and a sin.
Moreover, they fall in love with someone close to them. eir attitude is
set on advantaging themselves no matter what, as their feelings are violent,
passionate, wild and full of desire. Love to them means winning a war.
erefore, they struggle and work bravely towards winning. In the end, they
get what they aim for. Yet they neglect the value of what they have achieved.
e most signi cant thing is the fact that they have fought and won: their
trophy and victory.
ey like the smells of basil, mint and fennel and use these smells to
communicate with the invisible powers. e illnesses these people are likely
to be affected by include sexually transmitted diseases, schizophrenia,
epilepsy, psychological illnesses, headaches and eye aches. ey get to the
verge of death three times in their lives and the thirty- h year is a
milestone in their lives.

Pluto
The energy of power granted by Pluto

Depth, intensity, passion, willpower, power, strength, courage, ambition and

mystery are Pluto’s strong energies while losses, destructions, crisis, cruelty,
vengeance, indignation, violence, revenge, hatred, and the urge to take
revenge are Pluto’s negative energies.
Pluto is the invisible teacher of the unseen and unknown secrets. It
knows the secrets of life and demysti es the secrets of birth and death. Pluto
is also the power of courage as well as the owner of deep feelings. It is the
knower of the unknown and the one who sees the unseen. Pluto is the truth
of transformation, the knower of mines’ secrets. Possessing the healing
power of energy, Pluto is the secret doctrine of secret education. Knowledge,
mystery, faith, courage, power, strength, intuition, and the power of healing
energy are the most beautiful gis that Pluto has granted to the universe.
Pluto is never in uenced and respects no one apart from itself.
Pluto is the key to the secret door of the world of the secrets. ose who
manage to open this door gain wisdom and secret education. ey also gain
willpower and become aware of their own fate, thus they refresh their lives
and are open to new experiences. Pluto faces its mistakes, obsessions and
weaknesses. It becomes aware of itself and its power. Pluto is the strongest
and the most mysterious planet in the universe. Pluto grants one of its
energies to each planet it contacts.

The energy of support Pluto grants to the Sun

e ruling planet of Leo, the Sun is strong in the second decan of Aries and
the third decan of Sagittarius. e Sun possesses an unlimited source of
energy and never-ending life energy.
It forms, enlivens and names art through its creative skills. Enlivened,
the art serves as an opera on the stage, an act in the theatre and a spirit to
the words in music. e Sun has strong planning skills; these could entail
not only a plan for war, but also guarantee honour, pride, creativity and
fundamental values.
Pluto possesses a very strong skill of transformation and creative
strength of spirit. It seeks to bring forward the Sun’s values by supporting
them with its power and soul. Pluto appraises the Sun’s values and skills.
Pluto also presents the Sun’s unseen, unheard and unknown values to its
creative strength and takes back what it has given to the Sun in order to
make it more valuable. Whatever it has taken, Pluto keeps, appraises and
returns to the Sun’s strong light.

291
Pluto
Pluto brings about the Sun’s skills and elevates them to the highest rank.
Pluto elevates the Sun’s characteristics, art, and creativity to a level that
cannot easily be reached.
e combination of these two powers creates the power of change,
creative knowledge, hidden values, the mystery of secrets, the power of art
and the value of the light. e energies of honour, pride, life, knowledge,
power, healing and lights are spread out to the universe.

The energy of spiritual power Pluto grants to the Moon

e Moon is the ruling planet of Cancer. It is also strong in the third decan
of Taurus and at 9 degrees of that sign. Being strong in Pisces, the Moon is at
its maximum strength in the second decan.
e Moon is elegant, sensitive and sensible and possesses strong
intuition. A lack of love and of con dence makes the Moon uncomfortable.
It is not strong enough to ght against these discomforts as it has lost the
skill of decision making and willpower. All it needs is con dence,
attachment, compassion and love. It also needs to be decisive, determined,
strong-willed, durable and combative.

of change and transformation, Pluto grants passion, ambition and
determination.
Pluto represents terror, poignancy, destruction and massive deaths.
Pluto’s transit into Sagittarius (the symbol of religion) brought about
violence and oppression. is is the period when oppression began
increasing in religious clashes along with the increasing violence. On 11 July
1995 the Serbian soldiers’ massacre upon the Muslim Bosnians was a tragic
and terrifying event which was violently criticised by the whole world. On
11 September 2001, when Pluto was transiting Sagittarius at 13 degrees, the

intelligence and wit will create innovations and present them to all
humanity. is period will be the era of illumination, enlightenment and
revolution. Unusual novelties and inventions will be introduced. Education
and science will be improved; thus, the dream of travelling to the planets will
come true and research into space will be more thorough and frequent. New
planets will be discovered; undiscovered precious mines underground will
be found; and the secrets of the underground as well as the skies will be
unveiled. Not only enlightenment, illuminations, advancements and new
ndings will strike people’s eyes but also it is possible that humanity might
have great suffering in this era. One of the negative effects of this era will be
the abduction of scientists by secret forces and threatening them to misuse
their discoveries, ndings and knowledge towards the destruction of
humanity. is is a period when enemies of signi cant scholars and geniuses
will appear.

CHART EXAMPLE
JOHANNES KEPLER
27 December 1571
Weil der Stadt, Germany 48N45, 8E52
14:37 LMT

A graduate of the Academy of Astrology, Johannes Kepler was born with

Neptune was retrograde at 23 degrees of Gemini on the ascendant,
describing Kepler’s disappointments, how others could not understand him,
how some people saw him as a fake prophet, and how he is connected to the
subjects of space and astrology.
When he was four years of age, Kepler had very severe smallpox, which
le him with permanent physical weaknesses in his hands and eyes. e
Moon in Gemini indicates lung diseases, illnesses due to cold and weak
bodies. Furthermore, Saturn was in the 6th house, which describes clearly
permanent disorders which are likely to cause disabilities. As the symbol of
motherhood, the Moon’s presence in Gemini and the 12th house signi es a
mother who is inconsistent, restless and who has neurotic disorders. It also
indicates slander against his mother. e 12th house is also about secret
enemies.

309
Astrological Secrets of the Decans
e Moon and the Sun do not occupy a strong position in Kepler’s natal
chart. is suggests unhappiness caused by parents. Kepler’s mother was the
daughter of an innkeeper whilst his father was a poor mercenary soldier.
Kepler lost his father when he was a child.
Mercury’s conjunction with Uranus in Capricorn granted Kepler a very
strong wit and skills of learning as well as teaching. Its square  to Mercury
shows his active intelligence as well as the con icts he would  experience due
to his opinions.
Kepler stood out amongst his friends because of his superior intellect
and because he was  more mature than his actual age. He was interested in
the sky: the stars, the Moon and the Sun always attracted his attention. His
mother was aware of his interest, so she showed him comets when he was
ve.
e ruling planet of the ascendant, Mercury, is at 5 degrees of
Capricorn and in the 8th house. Mercury is associated with wit, intelligence,
communication and information. Mercury in Capricorn bestows skills in
mathematics, caution, discipline and responsibilities. It also teaches us how
to work under pressure.
Mercury’s conjunction with Uranus signi es a formation of a different
type of intellect. is conjunction also indicates a love of astronomy, the
spirit of research, and a nervous intelligence.
Uranus, Venus, Mercury and the Sun are in conjunction in Capricorn.
is position shows Kepler to be a strong, creative and passionate thinker.
ese astrological positions granted Kepler superior wisdom, deep
intelligence, and a spirited desire for research. He achieved immortality
through his wisdom, by his works, by his books, by his discoveries and by
his contribution to human knowledge. Schools, colleges and universities are
named aer him.
e 7th house is related to marriage, judicial problems and enmity. e
ruling planet of the 7th house, Jupiter, is not only conjunct Pluto but is also
square Neptune. Kepler didn’t have longing lasting happy marriages. (His
rst marriage was to a widow called Barbara Muller.)e severe aspects
Jupiter receives signify losses and hardship. Kepler lost his rst wife and
children because of illness.
In the position of anareta, Mars was at 8 degrees of Libra in the 5th
house. is indicates troubles with children, losses and sadness. Mars is
associated with fevers and long lasting illnesses. (e 5th house represents
children from his rst wife, whilst the 7th house represents children from
the second wife. Mars makes a harsh aspect to Uranus in the 7th house and
to Mercury, which leads to loss of children. e losses were mainly caused
by contagious diseases and fever.

310
Johannes Kepler
However, Jupiter is in Pisces. is promised Kepler a second
opportunity for marriage. He met a lady who was much younger than him
whom he married. 
Kepler was quite serious, cold and distant towards the opposite sex. For
him, to be able to be with a woman he rst needed to have feelings towards
her. Venus, representing relationships, is in the 8th house and in Capricorn.
Venus in Capricorn causes feelings of distrust in relationships. It also forms
a cold and distant appearance as well as making it hard for one to reveal
their true feelings. Venus makes a harsh aspect to the Moon, the universal
symbol of women and feelings. is combination in men’s charts may cause
disappointments in love, separation or they may have difficulties getting on
well with women due to shyness.
e 7th house also represents explicit enmity, judiciary and legal issues.
e conjunction of Mercury and Uranus in Capricorn, and Jupiter’s position
indicate Kepler’s unresolved and dragging legal cases. Kepler was a great
scientist and genius mathematician. He was potentially inclined to being
misunderstood as well as emotionally hurt due to his ascendant. His
superior skills caused him to acquire a number of enemies.
e Sun is at 15 degrees Capricorn and in conjunction with Venus in
the 8th house. Capricorn is the sign of education, science, authority,
discipline and permanent success. e 8th house is the house of secrets,
change, evolution, psychology, power and passion. is house is also related
to deep research and knowledge. e Sun makes a positive aspect to Saturn,
which is connected to science and research. Saturn in Scorpio gave Kepler a
difficult and exhausting working life. Nonetheless, these difficult situations
inspired and encouraged Kepler , giving him the ambition to succeed. e
Sun and Saturn’s positive aspects granted Kepler the power, willpower,
discipline and ambition he needed to conduct scienti c research. Kepler
knew that success would come through discipline, hard work and willpower.
“I will succeed” is the silent slogan of Kepler’s spirit.

Saturn in Scorpio in the chart grants a researcher spirit and ambition to
succeed. It may help one to possess profound knowledge. Kepler had a very
deep knowledge and researcher spirit. However, his knowledge and superior
skills put him into trouble against the nobles and the legal system. Kepler
was seen as a criminal in science in the eyes of justice.
Fame and popularity are in the 10th house and Jupiter is in Pisces,
which it rules. Pisces is a compassionate, sentient star sign with superior
qualities. Jupiter in Pisces shows people who value spiritual illumination and
who seek to develop and enhance themselves through spiritual illumination.
With Pisces, Jupiter also signi es a collective and secret knowledge.
e ruling planet of the 9th house, Saturn in Scorpio, trines Jupiter
which represents religion. e South Node is also in the 9th house in
Aquarius. Behind astronomy and astrology there is a belief that the God
created the universe according to a particular mathematical plan and a belief
that human beings would be able to understand this plan. Kepler’s scienti c
articles and works were full of mystic and religious arguments (see Bernard
R Goldstein and Peter Barker, eological Foundations of Kepler’s
Astronomy). Kepler valued dreams as well. He knew that the dreams that
came true were all signs sent by God. He therefore believed in mystic events.
e symbol of identity and ego, the Sun, makes a positive aspect to
Jupiter in the 10th house. e encouraging and positive aspect from Venus is
supporting Jupiter. ese planets’ positions show us Kepler’s identity, his
character, who he was, where he came from and where he was going to.
Jupiter’s position in the 10th house is in a lucky and easy ow of energy with
the Sun, which represents nobility in the 8th house. Kepler was nancially as
well as spiritually supported by nobles as they liked him.
Pluto conjoins Jupiter and these planets oppose Neptune. is
astrological position indicates difficulties and disappointments. Kepler was
not only receiving nancial and spiritual support from the nobles but he was
also facing difficulties and obstacles. Some of the nobles were his secret
enemies. ese powerful peoples’ enmity was against Kepler’s science,
knowledge and wisdom. Kepler’s knowledge and wisdom put him in trouble
against the nobles and the law. Moreover, he had problems with justice and
society because of his mother, as she was accused of sorcery. e 10th house
represents the mother and Pluto is in the 10th house and at 21 degrees of
Pisces. Pluto is associated with secret teachings and disembodied entities.
Pisces is also related to senses, emotions and the powers behind invisible
powers. e 12th house is the house of the invisible powers.

Johannes Kepler
e strong skill of smelling, the skill of extraordinary intuition can also
be made out from these planetary positions. Kepler’s mother had a strong
skill of smelling. She was able to smell owers from a far distance. By just
looking at the owers and plants, she could gure out how she would make
the most of them. ere was a spiritual attachment between her and the
plants. She would wake up in the middle of the night and pick owers under
the moonlight. With all the owers and plants she picked she used to make
perfume, syrups and medicines. She was a restless, bad-tempered and sharp-
tongued person. She didn’t get on well with her neighbours. is is shown by
the Moon, which represents the mother, in Gemini (neighbours) and in the
12th house.
Katharina, Kepler’s mother, had a neighbour called Ursula Reinbold,
who for some reason started being hostile towards Katharina. Mercury, the
ruling planet of Gemini is associated with speech, language and neighbours.
Mars and Mercury have a restless ow of energy between them. e
quincunx aspect that these two planets form causes hostility, gossip, slander
and insulting remarks. Ursula accused Katharina of making her perfumes
and medicines by using sorcery. Ursula even concocted false accusations
against Katharina and as a result sued her. Accused of witchcra, Katharina
was imprisoned.
Pluto represents the mother in the 10th house. Pluto also represents
enclosed areas, hidden enemies and secret powers. Katharina’s neighbour,
Ursula Reinbold, was a vicious and merciless woman. Katharina’s interest in
plants and her ambition to make medicines as well as perfumes got her into
trouble. e Moon is restless in Gemini. It wakes one up in the middle of the
night for no reason and sometimes makes people sleepwalk. e fact that
Katharina woke up in the middle of some nights, and picked plants and
owers was used against her at court as evidence, and the she was
subsequently convicted. Katharina’s inconsistent behaviour, her bad-
tempered angry speeches and sarcastic words reinforced this evidence
(Mercury squares Mars in Libra which represents justice and courts).
 Mercury and Mars’ harsh aspects signify tension and competition
between neighbours. It also indicates the enemy’s challenge. Katharina’s case
went on and on for years. She was found guilty at the age of seventy-four
and was chained and imprisoned.

Astrological Secrets of the Decans
Pisces is the sign of the 10th house and symbolises the mother. Pluto is
the planet of change, evolution, secret powers, secrets and difficulties. Pisces
is also the last remedy that comes aer lost hope. Jupiter means a just verdict
and relief from problems by the power of justice. ese planetary positions
gave Kepler a last chance for his mother’s rescue. On January 22, 1621 the
New Moon rose in Kepler’s natal chart in the 9th House, which is associated
with justice, law, publications, innovations, and important documents. e
New Moon also means new hopes and new beginnings for the mother.
Furthermore, it in Aquarius, which symbolises friends and new beginnings.
Aquarius is the sign of freedom and falls in the 9th house, which represents
law.
Kepler asked for help from a friend of his on 22 January 1621. He
prepared a new 126 page case le with his lawyer friend, which thoroughly
explained how the accusation of sorcery against his mother was a disgusting
slander. Even though this case le was prepared by the lawyer friend,
Kepler’s ideas and knowledge were efficiently and effectively utilized. By
Kepler’s own existence, through his creative knowledge, and his friend’s legal
support, the case went in favour of Kepler’s mother. It was concluded that
Katharina was not guilty.
Yet the court still did not acquit her. e last defence case was presented
to the court on 22 August 22. e court was considering acquitting
Katharina due to insufficient evidence against her. At that stage, Pluto was in
the 12th house. Pluto represents change, evolution, beginnings, results,
restrictions and prisons. e Moon was in Scorpio where it was not
comfortable. e symbol of restrictions, worries, enclosed areas,
disappointments and the ruling planet of the 12th house, Neptune was at the
point of conjunction with Jupiter. e conjunction of natal Jupiter and Pluto
made a positive aspect to transiting Pluto. Restless Katharina was in fear of
death. While all these astrological events were taking place Katharina was
nally acquitted.
 Even though the jury decided to acquit,  they still did not release
Katharina. During this time, Saturn was transiting through Cancer. Cancer
represents the mother while Saturn symbolises time, difficulties and
jurisdiction. Saturn is also a tough judge. e transit of Saturn through
Cancer represents the mother’s anxiety and uneasiness. Transiting Saturn
was making a harsh and compelling aspect to Mars in Libra, which
represents the incomplete part in justice. Disappointing Neptune was taking
a restless aspect to Pluto. Whilst all these astrological events were taking
place, Katharina was suffering from disappointments, difficulties and a never
ending case. On 3 October 1621 the Duke of Württemberk (the authority of
the country’s territory = Saturn and Cancer) asked the court to release
Katharina. On the same date, Saturn trined natal Jupiter. As these
astrological events took place Katharina was released. All this hardship,
trouble and restlessness caused Katharina to have a nervous breakdown and
she died 13 April 1622.

Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kepler predicted Venus’ transits. He was appointed  as
assistant to Tycho Brahe, who was the emperor’s mathematician. Kepler was
renowned for his predictions based on astrology. He contributed a number
of techniques and perspectives to astrology. He published his book e New
Astronomy in 1609.
Kepler was not only an astrologer but also an astronomer. On Kepler’s
tombstone it says “I measured the skies, now the shadows I measure.”
erefore Kepler’s famous quotes serve as guide to human beings in general.
He once said “…use every sense for perceiving, every tongue for declaring
your Creator…” (http://www.icr.org/article/3751/). He also said “Believing in
astrological effects is solely depending on trial. And the trial is so convincing
that it could only be refuted by those who have not examined astrology.”
Katharina fell pregnant with Kepler on 17 May 1571 and he was born
prematurely on 27 December 1571. He died 15 November 1630.
