Do you award an extra point for a planet that is in it's own sign/house? Like Mercury in Virgo, or Neptune in the 12th?

And, does the Sun always get an extra point?

Also, do you count planets twice, say once for the sign, then again for the house if it falls differently? As in, I have Jupiter in the 6th house in Taurus, so a point for Mercury energy from 6th house, but also a point for Venus energy from Taurus?

This is sooo cool! =)

Woah - that was a total surprise to me.

Uranus/Aquarian -10
Pluto/Scorpio - 10
Jupiter/Sagittarian - 8
Neptune - 7
Venus - 7
Sun - 7
Saturn - 7
Mercury - 6
Mars - 6
Moon - 4

I used Chiron and the South and North Nodes as well as the Master-Cleanse and IC (I find they are significant in charts) - and I gave my Sun sign, Ascendant sign and Moon sign an extra point too. I only used conjunctions, squares, oppositions, trines and sextiles for the 'aspects'. It's easy to see this directly on the chart. Just look at the Sun and see how many lines come off it. Either side, red AND blue.

I am quite surprised by the outcome. I find it pretty neat that the top two energies are 'Universal' 'Transpersonal' energies! (just realized that)

Uranus rules Telepathy and the new Aquarian Age!! And is the higher vibration of Mercury! ooooooooh.

"Some astrologers view Uranus as a higher octave of Mercury. If Mercury represents the mundane intellect used to solve everyday survival problems, to make sense of the world, and to communicate among ourselves, I think it's logical to assume that Uranus symbolizes a higher intellectual function enabling us to figure out how intelligence itself can be increased or accelerated (! Telepathy!). This intelligence oriented to "post-survival" doesn't directly advance our egos or our personal survival, yet it intuitively serves the transpersonal cause of increasing species intelligence...."

Wild - since I've been talking about the evolving feeling/thoughtforms/telepathy/knowing that I feel sure we're moving into as we evolve! It's also interesting that I am pretty Uranian because I have never ever been an outright 'rebel' (uranus) - My Saturn opposing my Uranus makes sure of that - but I HAVE always been myself. Never felt pressure from outside family, friends, government, school etc - to do anything other than what my little Spark inside says. So...that's kind of wild. (I better knock wood now!)


Pluto is the higher vibration of Mars...and is Healing and hugely Transformative:

"Pluto - the transpersonal need to surrender the ego, to let go of control where no control existed in the first place. In this surrender, the ego transforms by outgrowing its previous naivete like a snake shedding old skin; we wise up to life. There is a wisdom in transformation that empowers us with a greater capacity to endure future changes. Mere control, it turns out, is but a dime-store replica of real power." Antero Alli

I want to know what you guys came up with too!
