An example would be some transits right now...

There is an opposition to Venus right now from Jupiter. Jupiter is retrograde and in fall in Capricorn. Jupiter is about expansion, while Capricorn is control and repression (at odds). Jupiter's energies are weakend. Venus is in Cancer nd has no dignity (it is not in dignity, exaltation, fall or detriment), so it's a bit indifferent in energies. But Capricorn is the fall of Venus, so Jupiter weakens Venus. So there is a bad reception to Venus by Jupiter. Not only are they in opposition, but they have bad reception... so this sort of aspect would have some negative influences in the houses they are in.

Oh, and when a planet has no dignity, it is known as peregrine. They are wandering planets. If you look at Lilly's Point System for Dignity & Debility, you might understand more of what I'm talking about.

Um, I'm really not sure what you mean. If you had the moon conjunct your ascendant in scorpio then clearly the moon would be in scorpio as well. If you have it conjunct your midheaven in Leo then the moon would be in leo.

I would just consider the actual aspects to your moon. You said you have the moon square pluto?

Ok so the Ascendant is a part of you personailyt anyway!
If you're a scorpio rising you already have scorpio characteristics.

You're obviously new to astrology so imagine that the Sun sign is where you're heading. What you feel compelled to learn more about.
Your moon is your inner emotions or your 'habits' and your comforts and inner nature.
Your Rising/Ascendant is your 'outlook' on life. How you interact with the world and how you perceive the world to interact with you.

Ok so you're a scorpio Rising meaning that Scorpio 'tints' your outlook onlife.
This means that Pluto (the ruler of scorpio) is the ruler of your chart.

Find out where pluto is (especially the house) and look at any major aspects which it makes.
Major aspects being the Opposition, Conjunction, Square and Trine , try not to use more than 8 degrees orb.

Essentially here is what the aspects (which are read between planets and the four angles - Asc., MC, IC, Dec)

Conjunction:
The energy of the two planets is blended together into one energy. The two act together. So Mercury conjunct Mars might be someone who speaks forcefully/passionately. They might speak louder than they realise etc their mind is restless and curious.

Trine:
An easy blending of the two energies. The energies are in an easy aspect here. Going back to Mercury and Mars, this is a good place for a lawyer or a debating person.

Conjunction and Trine are both easy in the sense that the two are acting well together.

Opposition:
This is more stressful as the two are like opposing magnets that we need to try and balance and incorporate. We may project one of the planets at any one time. with mars mercury again we may think that other ppl are being very violent or are we may be angry at people being too much talk too little action. We project it onto other ppl quite often.

Square:
The energy is hitting one another in a stressful aspect. This leads to a poor blending of energy sometimes very over excited sometims short circuited. We're often more compelled to do the thing the aspect signifies. We may have great pressure with this aspect. We may be strongly compelled (in our example) to speaking out against violence etc.


I know these examples are really quick and not thought out much but you get the idea. The houses that the planets are in are very key as well.

In my ecperience the most important (loosely depending on the chart) are the aspects made by the ruling planet (the planet which rules the sign on the ascendant). Also any aspects made to the sun/moon and any aspects made to the four angles partifcularly the ascendant and the mc.
