This article focuses on two fast-moving planets: Mercury, which governs our mind, and Mars, which rules our capacity for action.
Mercury is known as an inner planet because, along with Venus, it is located closer to the Sun than the Earth. It usually takes less than a month to cross a sign, with three retrograde phases per year. These periods are now widely recognized, as they ...

Benicio del Toro captivates as much with his expressive power as with his mysteryan elusive, ever-changing, and at times bewildering figure: a true Pisces in all his fluid and elusive brilliance. From an early age, he developed a habit of surprising others, veering off where no one expected, cultivating a clear taste for originality, even contradiction.
Born into a family of lawyers in the capital of Puerto Rico, young Benicio suffered the tragic loss of his mother during childhood. His father then placed all his hopes in him, expecting him to carry on the family tradition.
He left his native...
This article explores the role of Jupiter when it forms a major aspect of tension, also called a challenging aspect, since it must be integrated and mastered in order to become an asset, with the Ascendant. The opposition is not included here, as it implies a placement in the seventh house, with a different relational dynamic and an interpretation more closely tied to the Desce...
As the symbolic center and light distributor of the natal chart, the Sun represents consciousness, will, vital drive, and the way we shine. Its expression depends on its sign and house placement, but also on the aspects it forms with other planets. When a celestial body enters into direct contact with the Sun, it deeply colors the personality, influencing how we assert ourselve...
An unconventional American actor, Nicolas Cage was born into a family of artists of Italian and German descent, well-established in Hollywood. His birth chart reveals a blend of contrasting influences, mirroring the complexity of his screen presence.
A Capricorn with Sagittarius rising and the Moon in Libra, his Big Three alone suggests a personality oscillating between seriousness, joie de vivre, a strong sense of individuality and sensitivity to his image.
Contradiction, however, does not preclude being a textbook Capricorn. Much of his first house—linked to self-expression and personality—f...
We turn our attention here to the aspect connecting two planets with deep affinities: the Moon and Neptune. Although they differ in size, position within the solar system, and speed of motion, which influences the duration of their transits, they share a common nature. Both are associated with the Water element, linked to receptivity and emotional sensitivity.
The Moon, ruler o...
Known since childhood, Vanessa Hudgens probably wouldn't have bet on reaching such a high level of fame at such a young age.
And yet, her birth chart reveals a strong personality and a deep desire to shine-traits that more than justify a fulfilling and accomplished career, even though she once said she would have preferred to be married before the age of 25!
A Sagittarius by birth, with the Sun in the final degrees of the sign, Vanessa Hudgens fully embraces these Fire energies. A precise trine links this luminary-also the chart ruler-to her Leo Ascendant.
Though she comes from a fairly modest...
This article explores the major harmonious aspect between Mercury and Saturn, whether it be a conjunction free of dissonances, a sextile, or a trine.
These two planets differ in many respects: Mercury is often depicted as a teenager, associated with a lively, flexible, youthful approach to life, whereas Saturn calls to mind an old scholar in his laboratory—linked with maturity,...
Mundane astrology is arguably one of the oldest and most ambitious branches of astrology. Since antiquity, astrologers have studied the heavens to read the upheavals of empires, the birth of civilizations, wars, and periods of renewal.
It does not concern itself with individual destinies, but with the movements of history, collective climates, and those times when the world see...
Zac Efron embodies the quintessential magnetic artist, with a powerful Scorpio dominance, along with Pluto, the ruler of that sign—even though his natal Sun places him in Libra.
His birth chart, which shows strong internal coherence, is shaped by intensity, a desire to conquer, and a taste for seduction.
Born on October 18, 1987, in California, Zac Efron stepped into the spotlight early, encouraged by a perceptive father who saw in him a future performer. His popularity skyrocketed with his role as Troy Bolton in the High School Musical series, catapulting him onto the international stage.
Thi...
The aspect explored here brings together two planets associated with action and the expansion of perspectives.
Mars, ruler of Aries, embodies initiative, as well as the boldness and impatience typical of this sign. With a two-year cycle, Mars travels through the entire zodiac, making it a personal planet in astrology—considered fast-moving, though it is not an inner planet (as ...
