We continue our case studies using the technique of Differential Diagnosis with the charts of three people with an emphasis on Aspects. We know that each major aspect form is analogous to one of the five traditional planets, i.e. the opposition is analogous to Saturn, the trine to Jupiter, the square to Mars, …etc.

When we examine a chart and observe a particular aspect form between two planets, we must always look to the planet that corresponds to the aspect form to know if that aspect under examination is unduly important or exaggerated. For example, if there would be a square between two planets and Mars to which the square corresponds is bad, the square to which it corresponds will be unduly violent or forceful quite independent of the natures of the two planets forming the aspect.

Our three cases for this lesson all have Scorpio rising, Moon in Virgo, and the Sun in Capricorn; the first chart is that of a lesbian/dominatrix, the second that of a male suicide, and the third, that of a film maker born to prominent show business parents.
