Mars Rising

When a planet is rising within the natal chart, the parts or systems of the body that correspond with that planet are likely to be highlighted within the life of the native. Mars governs the testicles. Therefore, the native’s reproductive health is being highlighted. Mars is also in Leo. This shows that the native has an excessively hot and dry Mars. Since the intrinsic nature of Mars is already to be excessively hot and dry, this sign placement only further raises the heat within his constitution to abnormally destructive levels. While this does not specifically point in the direction of any reproductive health concern, it is also non-conducive to his being very fertile within this lifetime.

Mars in Leo square Neptune

Mars in Leo gives excessive fire within an already excessively hot and dry Mars. The square to Neptune only further points out that this is indeed the metaphysical root of the native’s chronic health concerns. This condition may have grave ramifications for aspects of his physical health that require coolness and moisture, such as his reproductive system. Mars also governs the testicles. Neptune corresponds with under-functioning and devitalization. Mars/Neptune indicates that the testicles of the native – and his overall reproductive capabilities as a man – may be sources of constant health concern for him in this lifetime.

Mars parallel Pluto

Mars/Pluto denotes abnormally excessive heat within the constitution of the native. This combination is often extremely destructive to one’s fertility potential. Mars also governs the testicles and male virility in general. Pluto corresponds with abnormal functioning and trauma within whichever organs it afflicts within the human body. Mars/Pluto indicates that the native is likely to experience some abnormal growth, trauma, or malfunctioning within his reproductive system.

Venus contraparallel Sun

Whenever a planet is in hard aspect with the Sun, the parts of the body ruled bythat planet will be highlighted within the life of the native. Venus co-rules the reproductive system within the charts of men. In particular, she rules the sperm within a man’s body. Thus, Venus/Sun could represent that the native’s reproductive health is being highlighted within this lifetime.

Venus conjunct Chiron

Venus co-rules the male reproductive system. Chiron corresponds with chronic illnesses and unhealable wounds. Venus/Chiron could indicate that the native is prone to developing some chronic reproductive health condition within his lifetime.

Venus opposite Pluto

Venus/Pluto is one of the most powerful indicators of reproductive health issues, especially in a chart that otherwise denotes the same. Venus governs the prostate gland, the seminal vesicles, and the sperm. Pluto corresponds with abnormalities that have a malefic impact on one’s health – abnormal functioning, abnormal growths, and abnormal trauma. Venus/Pluto suggests that the native is likely to experience within his lifetime some abnormal reproductive health problems that will have a traumatic impact on his body as well as his psyche.

Sun in Aries quincunx Neptune

The Sun is a hot and dry planet. When the Sun is in Aries, this indicates that the native is likely to have excessive heat and dryness within their constitution. Sun in Aries quincunx Neptune denotes that this excess of constitutional heat is the actual source of the native’s chronic health conditions. It may undermine faculties within the body that require vital moisture in order for them to function properly, such as the native’s reproductive capabilities.
   Sun/Neptune is also a combination that we find in the charts of men who have conditions with the potential to undermine their identities as men. Sometimes this can owe to their physical appearance, while at other times it may be rooted in their reproductive health. Either way, Sun/Neptune can manifest as a genuine problem within one’s self-esteem and self-acceptance as a man.
