John
Lennon and Yoko Ono's Synastry Interpretative Report Sample
(Bi-wheel can be seen here)
Return to Order Page
[Synastry charts are a bi-wheel of both of the two natal charts juxtaposed on each other. . Analysis is made of the two charts aspects that are formed and the placement of houses and planets. It's the method commonly used to reach an understanding of the interconnectivity of the two natives. In the bi-wheel graphic example, we see Yoko's natal chart placed on John's Ascendant to evaluate how she connects with his houses and planets].
Part One -- Planets and Aspects
Each of us has every planet in his or her chart. Each planet symbolizes a different facet of life. In synastry, when we compare two charts, we look at the aspects (distance in degrees) between the planets of one chart and the planets of the other to determine areas of potential ease or difficulty. In general, sextiles and trines are easy aspects; squares and oppositions are challenging or dynamic aspects. Conjunctions can be either easy or difficult, depending on the planets involved.
Below, a brief (necessarily incomplete) description of the areas of life
ruled by each of the planets: SUN: The life force, the ego center, who
you are at your core. MOON: Feelings, home, mother, family, sensitivity,
nurturing, moods. MERCURY: Communication, schooling, short trips, negotiations,
the mind. VENUS: Emotions, asthetic and artistic sense, what you have
to offer a lover or partner if you’re a woman; what you want in
a partner if you’re a man. MARS: Aggression, desires, competitiveness,
ego drive, conflict, what you bring to a relationship if you’re
a man; what you want if you’re a woman. JUPITER: Expansion, generosity,
travel, optimism, knowledge, beliefs. SATURN: Restrictions, discipline,
fear, burdens, status, ambition, authority. URANUS: Innovativeness, quirkiness,
rebelliousness. NEPTUNE: Dreams, illusions, drugs, deception, spirituality.
PLUTO: Death and regeneration, elimination, tumultuous change, power.
Common Aspects
Mercury trine Mercury
Mercury is a neutral planet and has little or no impact on sexual attraction. However, between two people who are attracted to each other, a good aspect between the Mercury in each chart makes communications easier and can add to the richness of the relationship. The trine aspect is one of the best to have. It makes it easy for you to talk to each other. And it indicates that you probably either share harmonious ideas or are able to appreciate each other’s point of view. Intellectual harmony and compatibility are likely with this trine.
Midheaven opposite Midheaven
Each of you is likely to mirror the other’s needs for security, status, domestic comfort and emotional support. There is a slight potential for occasional clashes between one’s career needs and the other’s domestic needs, but these tend to be in line with typical, expected problems due to the sometimes incompatible requirements of family and career. All in all, you’re likely to be well-suited to living with one another and can, if there are no significant influences that contradict this, feel like each is the other’s 'better half.'
John Lennon’s Planets Aspecting Yoko Ono’s Planets
Sun trine Venus
Generally speaking, this aspect shows that you can enjoy yourselves together and that you have harmonious tastes in entertainment, art, and other pleasurable activities. You tend to support each other’s interests and means of self-expression. This trine may show sexual attraction and compatibility, especially, but not necessarily, if the Sun person is male and the Venus person is female. This trine can indicate that your focus as a couple is often on having a good time, and may involve occasional displays of extravagance.
Mercury square Saturn
You are likely to bring out the worried, pessimistic traits in each other. There may be obstacles or difficulties in communicating with each other, either because words simply don’t seem to flow well between you or because you’re overly cautious of what you say to one another. Often, a relationship with this square can have elements of a student/teacher pairing, usually where the Saturn person takes on the role of authority and the Mercury person plays the role of student or apprentice -- one who is likely to neglect his or her homework.
Mercury sextile Neptune
Because Neptune spends so many years in each sign, everyone born within a few years of each other will have Neptune in more or less the same position. This sextile is therefore more significant as an indicator of the Mercury person’s response to an entire generation than as a trait in a one-to-one relationship. If the aspect is within a degree of exact, it can mean that you share compatible views on idealistic and spiritual issues. There is also the potential for an intuitive link between you, especially if this is supported by other aspects between your charts.
Yoko Ono’s Planets Aspecting John Lennon’s Planets
Venus square Jupiter
You are likely to be quite generous and indulgent toward each other, but may encourage each other to excess and extravagance. There is a slight potential for over-emotionalism or for hypocrisy and pretense in the relationship. You may bring each other luck, but you may also tend to waste opportunities or encourage each other’s laziness and procrastination.
Venus square Saturn
This tends to be a difficult aspect. There may be conditions or limitations on this relationship, or the timing may be off. Sometimes it indicates internal or external obstacles that keep an otherwise good relationship from going anywhere. There may be worry, fear of intimacy, and blocking of emotional expression. It may also indicate that one or the other has another important relationship that gets in the way of this one. With Saturn, loyalty is often an issue. If expressed positively through this aspect, it can help form a solid, loyal, serious bond between you. If expressed negatively, one or both may show disloyalty to the other.
Mars trine Jupiter
You’re likely to bring out the joie de vivre in each other . You probably enjoy doing things together, especially involving sports, travel and outdoor fun. You can help each other take successful action and may be quite a bit luckier when taking careful risks together than either is alone. Just don’t leap before you look -- this combination can make you overly optimistic.
Mars trine Saturn
This is an excellent aspect for people who work together or otherwise need to get things done as a team . The Mars person can encourage the Saturn person to put more energy and enthusiasm into activities; the Saturn person can help the Mars person approach projects with greater discipline and a better sense of timing. Together, you can focus your energy and achieve the maximum possible rewards from joint endeavors.
Uranus conjunct Ascendant
Stimulating, yes, but this aspect is not indicative of a particularly stable relationship. The Uranus person is likely to be a shock to the Ascendant person’s system, which can sometimes be exhilarating and sometimes exasperating. At least it will never bore you. Both of you are likely to bring out the need and desire in the other for excitement, freedom and expression of individuality . While relationships with this aspect can be lots of fun, you should probably wait a good long while -- and make certain you have something solid beneath all that excitement -- before making permanent commitments to each other.
Ascendant conjunct North Node
You are both likely to approach the outside world in a similar fashion and to enjoy socializing together. The Ascendant person’s path may be difficult at times for the North Node person to follow, but if he/she does so, it will probably be rewarding in the long run. There is a likelihood of dependency on each other for social activities.
Part Two -- Planets in Houses
This section is concerned with where the planets of one partner fall in the houses of the other, also known as comparative house placement. For instance, if you have 12 degrees Cancer rising (also known as Cancer Ascendant or Cancer on the first house cusp) and your partner has Moon in 15 degrees Cancer, your partner’s Moon falls in your first house. Your experience of your partner’s emotions, family and moods (Moon) will influence how you see yourself (Ascendant). In comparative house placement analysis, the planets generally have a greater impact on the houses than the houses do on the planets. In other words, where your partner’s planets fall in your houses is a better indication of how you experience him or her than vice-versa. And where your planets fall in his or her houses will tell more about how he or she experiences you.
Yoko Ono’s Planets in John Lennon’s Houses
HOUSE ONE
This is the house of self expression. The sign on the cusp of this house is called your rising sign or Ascendant. It shows your self image, the face you show the world and how others see you. The image you present can either be quite close to or very different from the inner you, depending on whether your Ascendant is in a sign that is similar or different in characteristics to the signs your Sun and Moon are in. When the planets of your partner or another fall into this, your most personal house, you will relate to the energies of that person, represented by those planets, in a very personal and immediate way; there may be a kind of instant recognition between you in these areas. For instance, if the Mercury of another person (which rules communications, short trips, thoughts, worries, and work, among other issues) falls into your first house, you may find that you instantly recognize, and/or identify with, the ways that person communicates or the ideas he or she has.
Uranus in House 1
The Uranus person can be a shock to the system for the first house person. This is likely to be an exciting relationship that shakes up the first house person’s self-image and actions. The Uranus person can help the first house person explore issues of personal freedom and break away from old patterns of behavior.
HOUSE FOUR
The fourth house rules the home, real estate, your mother (and your mothering instincts), as well as home, domestic and family situations in general. It is also the house ruling your final resting place. Those whose planets fall in your fourth house will affect you on a deep level, and may arouse your protective and nurturing instincts. If the Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter or Ascendant of another falls in your fourth house, you may make good housemates or domestic partners.
Pluto in House 4
The Pluto person can be a powerful force for change in the fourth house person’s domestic situation. This is likely to be an intense emotional involvement if Pluto also closely aspects the fourth house person’s personal planets. If there are major hard aspects from Pluto to the fourth house person’s chart, there may be power struggles between the Pluto person and the fourth house person’s mother.
HOUSE FIVE
Some astrologers refer to the fifth as the party house, and it’s an apt description. The fifth house presides over entertainment and fun of all kinds; including romance, gambling, parties, creativity and pleasure in general. It is also the house of children, and may describe certain traits of your first child. When the planets of another fall into your fifth house, the energies of these planets will have an affect on what you do, think and feel about fifth house issues. If someone’s Sun falls into your fifth house, for instance, you may be attracted to that person as a romantic partner or as someone to simply go out and have good times with.
Mars in House 5
Generally speaking, this placement is an indication of sexual attraction. The Mars person can stir up the fifth house person’s desire for fun, entertainment and general good times. However, the Mars person may encourage the fifth house person to take unwise risks or gambles.
Neptune in House 5
You will probably share a love of similar art, music and entertainment. In fact, in many ways, this relationship may seem like a romantic dream come true, especially for the fifth house person. But it may or may not be what it seems. There is the potential for this to be a strong idealistic romance, but also the potential for disillusionment, deception, unrequited love or loss through this relationship. Which side of the equation will manifest depends on aspects between Neptune and the fifth house person’s planets.
HOUSE SIX
The morning after the partying of the fifth house, you’ve got to get back down to business, and that’s what the sixth house is about. It rules work, health, service, worries, diet, dress, personal habits and other mundane, but necessary details of life. When someone else’s planets fall into your sixth house, the energies of those planets will affect the way you respond to the above sixth house issues. If, for instance, someone’s Saturn is in your sixth house, he or she might be an authority (Saturn rules authority figures) who you consult about health, such as a doctor; or he or she might be your boss at work.
Jupiter in House 6
The Jupiter person likely to have a positive effect on the health habits, dress and diet of the sixth house person. The Jupiter person can also benefit the sixth house person’s working situation and expand his or her work prospects. There is a possibility of the Jupiter person encouraging the sixth house person to self- indulgence and over-optimism in these areas, if Jupiter makes any major hard aspects to the sixth house person’s chart.
HOUSE EIGHT
The eighth house deals with a host of intense and weighty issues: death, obsessions, repression, jealousy, taxes, joint resources, inheritances and other people’s possessions. It also represents what you want or need sexually. When someone else’s planets fall in your eighth house, the energies of those planets will have an impact on how you think, feel and act concerning eighth house issues. If, for instance, your rich old Great-Uncle Harry’s Jupiter falls in your eighth house, he might bequeath you a generous inheritance in his will.
Moon in House 8
Often , this placement indicates a deeply emotional relationship, where much occurs beneath the surface. There is some danger that one or the other of you will use negative emotional tactics -- such as jealousy, stonewalling, withholding of information or sex -- to attempt to control the relationship. The Moon person’s emotional responses or family can have impact on your joint resources. The eighth house person may have a potent impact on Moon person’s family situation and/or feelings.
HOUSE TEN
Achievement, professional life, authority, status and ambition are all governed by the tenth house, also known as the Midheaven. This is also the house that represents your father, just as the fourth house represents your mother. (Please note: in some families, where the mother was the dominant parent, or the father was the greater nurturer of the two, the house rulership works better in reverse, with the fourth representing the father; the tenth the mother. Usually, however, the traditional rulership works best. ) When the planets of another person fall in your tenth house, the energies of those planets will affect the way you respond to tenth house issues. For instance, if someone’s Mars, the planet of competitiveness and aggression, falls here, you might find yourself in professional competition with him or her.
Saturn in House 10
This is Saturn’s natural house, and it is an excellent position if you two are involved in any sort of professional activities together. You can aid each other in your respective careers and help each other gain greater status. There is a slight possibility of competition between you, but this may have a beneficial effect if it causes you to work harder and achieve more. If Saturn makes harsh major aspects to the tenth house person’s planets, one of you may rise in his or her profession at the expense of the other’s ambitions.
HOUSE ELEVEN
Friends, acquaintances, associates, associations, clubs, and virtually any other group you feel a part of are all matters related to the eleventh house. This is also the house governing your hopes, wishes and professional values (personal values are matters of the second house). When someone else’s planets fall here in your chart, the energies of those planets will affect your reactions to eleventh house issues. For instance, if a friend’s Pluto, the planet of power, falls in your eleventh, your association with that person can potentially bring you greater power and control.
Sun in House 11
No matter what the basis of this relationship -- sexual, business, family or other -- with this placement, you will also be good friends. The Sun person can have a positive effect on the eleventh house person’s ability to achieve his or her hopes and wishes. You may also be involved in groups, associations or organizations together.
Mercury in House 11
This relationship may be based more on intellectual, superficial bonds than on deep emotional ties unless other factors contradict this. The Mercury person’s words and/or ideas are likely to have an impact on the aspirations, hopes and associations of the eleventh house person. You probably relate to each other as members of the same group or organization.
Venus in House 11
You will probably enjoy a feeling of close friendship, in addition to any other relationship you have together. The Venus person can help the eleventh house person’s social standing, help him or her achieve aspirations and help him or her advance through valuable associations. This comparative placement works best if both partners are willing to give the other plently of freedom and elbow room.
John Lennon’s Planets in Yoko Ono’s Houses
HOUSE ONE
This is the house of self expression. The sign on the cusp of this house is called your rising sign or Ascendant. It shows your self image, the face you show the world and how others see you. The image you present can either be quite close to or very different from the inner you, depending on whether your Ascendant is in a sign that is similar or different in characteristics to the signs your Sun and Moon are in. When the planets of your partner or another fall into this, your most personal house, you will relate to the energies of that person, represented by those planets, in a very personal and immediate way; there may be a kind of instant recognition between you in these areas. For instance, if the Mercury of another person (which rules communications, short trips, thoughts, worries, and work, among other issues) falls into your first house, you may find that you instantly recognize, and/or identify with, the ways that person communicates or the ideas he or she has.
Sun in House 1
You are likely to feel an immediate identification with each other; more so the closer the Sun is to the Ascendant. The Sun person can strongly influence the self-image and ego expression of the first house person and this may challenge the Ascendant person to be more assertive. Although not, by itself, an indication of sexual attraction, the Sun of one partner in the first house of the other indicates that you two can think and act as one in many circumstances, thus supporting any relationship you form together.
Mercury in House 1
There is likely to be a great deal of communication between you. The Mercury person is likely to stimulate the first house person’s thought processes and his or her ideas can influence the first house person’s self-image. If Mercury makes any harsh aspects to planets in the first house person’s chart, the Mercury person may be overly critical of the first house person.
HOUSE FOUR
The fourth house rules the home, real estate, your mother (and your mothering instincts), as well as home, domestic and family situations in general. It is also the house ruling your final resting place. Those whose planets fall in your fourth house will affect you on a deep level, and may arouse your protective and nurturing instincts. If the Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter or Ascendant of another falls in your fourth house, you may make good housemates or domestic partners.
Moon in House 4
This is a particularly favorable placement for those living under the same roof. There is probably a strong identification between you on an emotional level, with the potential for great empathy, or even an intuitive link. You can nurture each other and be protective of one another, but you can also exacerbate each other’s moodiness. You’re likely to depend on each other for emotional security and may retreat into a cocoon together -- in a kind of Òyou and me against the world's response -- when things aren’t going your way.
HOUSE EIGHT
The eighth house deals with a host of intense and weighty issues: death, obsessions, repression, jealousy, taxes, joint resources, inheritances and other people’s possessions. It also represents what you want or need sexually. When someone else’s planets fall in your eighth house, the energies of those planets will have an impact on how you think, feel and act concerning eighth house issues. If, for instance, your rich old Great-Uncle Harry’s Jupiter falls in your eighth house, he might bequeath you a generous inheritance in his will.
Jupiter in House 8
The Jupiter person is likely to have a positive effect on the resources available to the eighth house person , unless major hard aspects from Jupiter to the eighth house person’s planets contradict this. You have a definite potential for attracting material wealth through your partnership or marriage to each other. In sexual relationships, this placement can either connote adventurous attitudes, which can expand eroticism , or too much judgmentalism, which can dampen enjoyment . There is a slight danger of being overly optimistic about joint investments and finances in general, which can lead to financial trouble.
Saturn in House 8
This placement offers both positive and negative potentials. It can either show that together, you can make careful, conservative, practical financial decisions that result in a slow but steady growth of your joint resources, or it can show that fears or bad timing result in financial loss. There is a slight danger of sexual coldness of one partner toward the other. There is also a slight danger of excessively materialistic attitudes in the partnership. If Saturn makes harsh major aspects to planets in the eighth house, there is some danger of miserliness, or of one partner controlling the joint resources to the point of limiting or disallowing the other’s access.
Uranus in House 8
This often indicates a potential for sudden changes in fortune, for better or worse, in your joint resources and holdings. Often, it’s an indication of something untraditional, unconventional or eccentric in matters of sex. You may have secret mutual kinks or quirks. You can be powerful agents of change in each other’s lives.
HOUSE TEN
Achievement, professional life, authority, status and ambition are all governed by the tenth house, also known as the Midheaven. This is also the house that represents your father, just as the fourth house represents your mother. (Please note: in some families, where the mother was the dominant parent, or the father was the greater nurturer of the two, the house rulership works better in reverse, with the fourth representing the father; the tenth the mother. Usually, however, the traditional rulership works best. ) When the planets of another person fall in your tenth house, the energies of those planets will affect the way you respond to tenth house issues. For instance, if someone’s Mars, the planet of competitiveness and aggression, falls here, you might find yourself in professional competition with him or her.
Pluto in House 10
If Pluto is closely conjunct the tenth house cusp, the Pluto person can help the tenth house person focus on ambitions and achieve more personal power and authority. A close conjunction can also indicate power struggles between the partners, especially in professional matters.
HOUSE ELEVEN
Friends, acquaintances, associates, associations, clubs, and virtually any other group you feel a part of are all matters related to the eleventh house. This is also the house governing your hopes, wishes and professional values (personal values are matters of the second house). When someone else’s planets fall here in your chart, the energies of those planets will affect your reactions to eleventh house issues. For instance, if a friend’s Pluto, the planet of power, falls in your eleventh, your association with that person can potentially bring you greater power and control.
Venus in House 11
You will probably enjoy a feeling of close friendship, in addition to any other relationship you have together. The Venus person can help the eleventh house person’s social standing, help him or her achieve aspirations and help him or her advance through valuable associations. This comparative placement works best if both partners are willing to give the other plently of freedom and elbow room.
HOUSE TWELVE
This is the house of illusion, where things are not quite what they seem. Secrets, ideals, deception and self-deception, dreams, drugs, chronic illness, institutions and intuition are all matters of the twelfth house. Older astrology texts call this the house of self-undoing, but this is probably too negative a reading in most cases. It is true, though, that it is difficult to get a clear picture of what is going on in this house; so the energies of any planets of another person that fall into your twelfth are likely to be harder for you to understand than those falling in other houses. If, for instance, someone’s Venus falls in your twelfth, you may find it difficult to see that person’s flaws and you may respond to the person as if he or she were your ideal mate, whether or not this is objectively realistic.
Mars in House 12
This can be a problematic placement as Mars needs to be direct and the energy of the twelfth house is generally vague and indirect. The Mars person can stimulate the twelfth house person to be more active in charitable and creative affairs. There is a slight danger of victimization or psychological cruelty, especially if there are major harsh aspects from Mars to the twelfth house person’s chart.
Neptune in House 12
You can bring out the best and the worst in each other. On the positive side, you can inspire each other to greater empathy, charitability, spirituality and compassion. On the negative side, there can be victimization, deception, clinging-vine dependency, or aggravation of neurotic tendencies or substance abuse.
