• Interesting Aspect Patterns ~ 5 point Stellium between Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, and Pallas suggesting integration between expansive action or strategic change in our foundation or life structure supported by transformative Pluto energies.
• Sign ~ Cancer (nurturing, sensitive, protective, reclusive);  Pisces (compassionate, intuitive, sensitive, easily led)
• Elemental Influence ~ all elements are present, but Water is strongest and so is compassion and nurturing of others. Objectivity may be less, but compassion at this time is more important.
