Your Gauquelin Sectors

Advanced Chart Technique

On your astrology journey there are many avenues of knowledge to wander down.

Once you have the first twelve months of study under your belt, where it is all about the signs, houses, planets and aspects, continuing to study astrology opens up like a fan into a whole new world.

I often relate learning astrology to the medical profession where, everyone is a doctor (who knows the basics and can save your life) but some of them continue into speciality fields such as dermatology, neurosurgery and anesthesiology.

The analogy here is that all astrologers can interpret your chart (and most are very competent) but some continue to learn new techniques and gain more knowledge even if it is simple small pieces that can be used to tweak their readings and become more detailed in their interpretations.

To my mind using the Gauquelin sectors fall into the “nice to have” skills of any astrologer.

Two Main Gauquelin Sectors

There are two Gauquelin sectors in every chart.

They span a section of the zodiac which is different for every chart.

There is your Ascendant Gauquelin sector and your Midheaven Gauquelin sector.

Not every chart has planets in the Gauquelin Sectors, but if your chart does then those planets are important both in natal interpretation and forecasting work.

People in Astrology Michel Gauquelin (1928 – 1991)

A French husband and wife team Michel and Francois Gauquelin originally set out to disprove astrology and ended up creating the most in-depth proof for astrology.

Their most famous research is known as The Mars Effect.

Briefly, they checked hundreds of charts to see if a particular planet was prominent, or on the ascendant or Midheaven, of people who had the same job.

 

How to find your Gauquelin Sectors

The Gauquelin sectors cover ten degrees of the zodiac on both sides of your ascendant and your Midheaven for a total of twenty degrees each and forty degrees in all.

Both sectors together cover one ninth of the 360° wheel.

 

Example 1: Say your Ascendant is at 15° Gemini then your ascendant Gauquelin sector spans from 5° to 25° Gemini.

Example 2: Say your Midheaven is at 2° Aries then you Midheaven Gauquelin sector is between 22° Pisces and 12° Aries.

 

Gauquelin Sector Planet Houses

Planets in your Gauquelin sectors are usually in the first, twelfth, ninth and tenth houses.

Gauquelin Sector Planets Conjoined the Angles

Planets in a conjunction aspect (orb 8°) to your Ascendant and Midheaven are automatically in your Gauquelin sectors.

Example Chart – Justin Bieber

Birth data 12:56am, March 1st, 1995, London, Ontario, Canada.

 

Ascendant Gauquelin Sector

Bieber Ascendant is at 29° 02′ Scorpio therefore his Ascendant Gauquelin Sector is from 19°02′ Scorpio to 9°02′ Sagittarius.

 

Pluto

Pluto is in his Ascendant Gaquelin Sector.

Note that Pluto is also conjoined the Ascendant so it will automatically be in his Ascendant Gauquelin Sector.

Midheaven Gauquelin Sector

Bieber’s Midheaven is at 15°25′ Virgo so his Midheaven Gauquelin Sector is from 5°25′ Virgo to 25°25′ Virgo.

 

Chiron

Chiron is at 05°48′ Virgo so the Wounded Healer is in his Midheaven Gauquelin Sector.

Also note that Chiron is NOT conjoined the Midheaven.

Chiron is a true Gauquelin Sector planet and needs careful consideration when interpreting this chart.

Ascendant Gauquelin Interpretation

Planets in your Ascendant Gauqueline sector typically:

 

  • Show how others see you through the urges of the planet.
  • Can be a rising planet.
  • Are stronger when applying to a conjunction to the Ascendant.
  • Are weaker when separating from a conjunction to the Ascendant.
  • Are highly prominent planets.
  • Are high profile planets.
  • May easily be the strongest in the chart.
  • Will affect yoru appearance.

Midheaven Gauquelin Sector Interpretation

Planets in your Midheaven Gauquelin Sector typically:

 

  • Indicate how the world sees you through the urges of the planet.
  • This planet may be the most elevated planet.
  • May be conjunct the Midheaven.
  • Are strong when applying to the Midheaven.
  • Are weaker when separating from the Midheaven.
  • Suggest a career in line with the nature of the planet.

 

If there is more than one planet in these sensitive areas of your chart they have to be interpreted in a blended way as they will all influence you from their position in the Gauquelin sectors of your chart.

🧡 Advanced Natal Astrology

This article is part of my Advanced Natal Astrology series, where I explore deeper chart analysis for practicing and aspiring astrologers.

Most Elevated Planet

Top Billing

Only one planet is the Most Elevated Planet. In your chart there will be one planet that is the most elevated planet. This special planet is the one near the top of the chart. It is the planet that was highest in the sky at the time of your birth.

Not all most elevated planets are made equal and in some charts, they will be stronger than in others. If you have a well placed most elevated planet you can use it towards supporting your career, reputation and public image.

 

 

How to Find Your Most Elevated Planet

The most elevated planet is the planet closest to the Midheaven in degrees of longitude on either side of the Midheaven. The Midheaven is the intersection between the prime vertical and the plane of the ecliptic.

The most elevated planet is frequently in the 9th house or 10th houses or close to the Midheaven, but can be in any house in the chart.



Singleton by Hemisphere 

If the most elevated planet is a singleton by hemisphere, in the south, it has extra strength. 

Disposes the Midheaven and is Most Elevated

If the Midheaven is in a sign which is disposed by the most elevated planet (by essential dignity) it gains weight. Rulership and exaltation of your Midheaven add to the power of your most elevated planet. Detriment and fall reduce the effect of your most elevated planet.

 

Examples If your Midheaven is in Libra…

  • And if the most elevated planet is Venus, it will add power to the most elevated planet because Venus rules Libra.
  • Additionally, if your most elevated planet is Saturn, it will add weight to the most elevated planet due to the fact that Saturn is exalted in Libra.
  • As well as if your most elevated planet is Mars, it will reduce the power of Mars as the most elevated planet as Mars is in detriment in Libra.
  • And if your most elevated planet is the Sun, it will reduce the potency of the most elevated planet because the Sun is in it’s fall in Libra.

 

 

The Nature of Your Most Elevated Planet

As the MC is the most elevated point in your chart any planet is measured for most elevation in relation to your MC.

Therefore any connection between the MC and the most elevated planet by aspect reinforces the potential of the most elevated planet in your chart.

The Midheaven shows for what the world knows you.

Any planet connected to the Midheaven (as in a conjunction, sextile or square) will influence this.

What this means is, if your most elevated planet has an aspect to the MC then it gains weight or power in your chart.

 

In Aspect to Your Midheaven

If your most elevated planet is in aspect to your Midheaven it supports the meaning of the planet. If it is not in aspect to your Midheaven it has a neutral influence.

 

Conjunct your Midheaven

This is the power position for the most elevated planet as it could not be more elevated than the Midheaven. Any planet conjoined your Midheaven will be a huge focus in your life. Almost as if it is lighting the way for you like a torch. When the most elevated planet is conjoined the MC think star over stable in Bethlehem.

 

Sextile your Midheaven

A most elevated planet sextile the Midheaven will work together with the meaning of the Midheaven and support the nature of the Midheaven. Planets is this position usually indicate latent talents which can be utilized by the Midheaven for your career and public image.

 

Square your Midheaven

When your most elevated planet is square your Midheaven it is in an aspect of tension. However, this is an aspect where progress is strived for, in the nature of the most elevated planet. This will not always be easy, in fact it can be difficult at times, but squares will always be on the front burner of your chart.

Example Chart: Tony Robbins

In this example chart for Tony Robbins Uranus is the most elevated planet.

tony-robbins-birth-chart-most-elevated

Weaker Below the Horizon

Depending on the latitude of your birth place, sometimes the most elevated planet can actually fall below the horizon.

That is under the ascendant/descendant axis or in the northern hemisphere of the chart.

Although the planet will still be most elevated it loses much of its potency when it is below the horizon.

In this case it can be dismissed as a strong influence on the MC.

Generally a most elevated planet works well for you if it is high in the chart, aspects the MC and disposes the Midheaven by rulership.

Not all most elevated planets will benefit you.

If you do have a well placed most elevated planet it makes sense to work it to your advantage as best you can for career, reputation and public image.

Learning Without Tears – Book Review

by

Overview

Discover how the Mercury Model (TM) can: 

  • Identify a child’s unique learning style
  • Unlock a child’s true potential
  • Turn tension into talking

Buy this book on Amazon.

Introduction

Of all the astrology books I have had the pleasure of reviewing over the years Learning Without Tears is in a class of its own. Connerr takes the Mercury archetype, well known by astrologers, to a new level.

The author does not complicate the information being presented with an excess of technical terms, words and astrologese. She specifically uses regular dialogue to get her message across to the layperson.

There is the option to skip the detailed astrological explanations, if you wish to clearly focus on the child’s learning style, and not where it originates. With this brilliant approach the author has subtlety woven birth chart features into mainstream education which is directly aimed at parents and teachers.

We often hear the lament that astrology is not taken seriously by science. It is portrayed as the poor relation to astronomy and psychology. This fact was brought home to us during the 2011 online heated discussions. Here lies the beauty of this original book from an astrologer’s point of view. The author has parlayed astrology, and its centuries old traditions, into mainstream educational thought even perhaps without its detractors noticing.

 

Three Parts

This book is divided into three parts.

Part I – Individual Learning Styles and How They Interact

In the first section she discusses each of the twelve possible learning styles and how they manifest in every child. Presented with colorful animal characters clearly identifying each role.

Areas of similarity and difference are brought out in a subset by the style groupings and divisions which are easily recognizable to the astrology student as polarity, quadruplicity and element.

Connerr presents some real life parent and child scenarios and the resolutions are provided using the Mercury model.

We are challenged to explore our own learning style as parents and to consider how we default to that particular method by personally giving it preference and value

 

Part II – Variations and Background

She discusses how features in the whole nativity can influence each personality and provide modifications. Then goes on to explain the extraction of the essence for each Mercury archetype during individual analysis.

 

Part III – Identify a Learning Style

The author provides yearly assessment tables (Mercury ephemeris) to discover each persons learning style.

 

The New Physics and Essential Mercury

Helyn Connerr MSc is well qualified to write this book. Her background is impressive and she has studied astrology for over thirty years. She brings a scientist’s mind to an astrology problem.

Believing you can observe the energy principle of Essential Mercury in action and watch its effects, she discusses how the principles outlined are shown by planet, element, music, animals, literature, esoterica and the physical body. That Mercury, as an information receptor, is inherent in how we live, breathe and perceive.

 

Final thoughts

Although this book is aimed at educators, parents and children, one wonders if astrology teachers, when using this method, will find their students benefit and grasp new information in a way each learner can assimilate.

It is quite apparent that we retain our learning style throughout life. If as grown-ups, we choose to embark on further study, we will benefit by aligning ourselves with our own Mercury model.

This simple practice would enhance the adult education process. Rather than thinking, “I’m too old to learn this” perhaps we need to open up our minds, because, obviously we can learn if we are presented and communicated information in a way we each can appreciate

Learning Without Tears comes highly recommended for students, parents and educators.

 

The Yod: Major Aspect Pattern

The Yod: Major Aspect Pattern

by

Some students may think it is odd

to work with the finger of God.   

One sextile and two

quincunxes to view

and now we all call it a yod.

The Yod Limerick

Most of you are probably wondering what the heck this limerick is all about.

Let me explain.

A Yod is an astrological major aspect pattern sometimes found in birth charts.

It comprises of one sextile aspect (blue line) and two quincunx aspects (green lines).

 

Yod Bearers

An aspect is an imaginary line drawn between two planets in a horoscope.

People who have a yod in their charts are known as Yod Bearers as it indicates there are burdens that need to be carried through life.

The image is that of an isosceles triangle where the short side is 60 degrees and the two equal longer sides are 150 degrees.

The shape is somewhat reminiscent of an arrow or finger pointing thus the nickname of The Finger Of God. It is also referred to as the Finger of Fate.

In chart interpretation the area of life that the yod is pointing at is highlighted and becomes an important focus for that person.

 

The Yod Major Aspect Pattern

A Yod is an astrological planetary configuration also know as a major aspect pattern which is formed when three planets line-up in a particular way.

A Yod is an aspect pattern composed of one sextile and two quincunxes. It looks like an isosceles triangle with one short side and two equal length longer sides.

A yod looks like a triangle. But it is different to a grand trine, T-square or a Thor’s Hammer because of the aspects it contains.

In the example chart of Margaret Atwood, she has a Neptune Yod with the Moon and Saturn as the base planets.

The Aspects in a Yod

Sextile

A sextile is an aspect 60° wide or two signs. The orb for a sextile is 4° degrees.

It is an aspect of ease and it suggests your latent talents.

Quincunx

A quincunx is an aspect 150° wide or five signs.

The orb for a quincunx is 2°.

It is an aspect requiring constant adjustment and causes mild irritation.

 

How to Interpret a Yod

The broad stroke with interpreting yods is to look at the one planet being quincunxed (the green lines) by the other two.

This is known as the focal planet and is a sensitive spot in the zodiac which will be reflected in your chart by the house placement.

  • Pay special attention to the focal planet and interpret it thoroughly. Check the essential dignity of the planet and its condition.
  • Look at the house or the area of life that is bringing pointed to.
  • Look at the sign that the focal planet is in, this shows the type of energy that the focal planet can express.
  • The two planets in sextile are the support for the yod and offer up their energy and qualities to the focal planet.

 

Double Yod Key

If there are two yods lying side by side (so four planets and three quincunxes) then it is known as a “double yod key”.

This will reinforce the general meaning of the yod for the person.

What to Consider in a Yod

The focal planet at the end of the quincunxes, is the most sensitive planet as energies flow to it from the two other planets.

The two planets in sextile are known as the base of the yod and work together harmoniously.

The planetary ruler of the sign of the focal planet is important.

Interpretation of a Yod

Charts with yods suggest the person is independent and driven.

Due to the nature of the quincunxes they can be constant and unchanging but fraught with the constant adjustments demanded. T

his person may experience a crisis of energy and find they are constantly battling to stay on track.

There is a certain spiritual element to this pattern and these people can be lofty.

The meaning of the house and sign of the focal planet points (as the pointed in the shape) to the issues that need addressing in this person’s life.

How to Cast a Chart without a Birth Time

How to Cast a Chart without a Birth Time

by

Author: Alison Price   –   Updated: March 2025

How to Cast a Chart with No Birth time

The Birth Time

The basis of casting a birth chart for someone is to erect one for the exact time, date and place of their birth. And to be precise, the time you want is the time of the inhalation of the first breath. Not the time the surgeon made the first cut (for C-sections), not the time the head crowned and not the time the cord was cut.

Birth Time

Unless the birth details are written down, like on a birth certificate or in a baby memory book, you never really know. Birth times are categorized into Rodden Ratings after the great astrologer Lois Rodden.

Rodden Ratings

AA = Accurate Accurate: From a birth certificate or a birth record. This time is written down and in hand perhaps in a baby book.

A = Accurate: From memory, family legend or hearsay and is spoken or word-of-mouth typically from an aunt or someone in the family who was there.

B = Biographical: From autobiography or biography. This is secondhand information usually gleaned by an interview.

C = Caution: The data is from conflicting sources.

DD = Dirty Data: Don’t use or rely on this data.

X = No time: Here there is the birthdate only with no birthtime.

XX = Very insecure: No date or year. Very weak.

People will generally know their birthdate, although I did once come across a woman who did not know her year of birth.

Birthtime

If your client does not know their birth time (and they are not interested in rectification) how do you cast their chart and find some information that you can use? This frequently comes up in chart readings. As a professional astrologer, you need to help your client and there are a couple of ways of working with a time unknown chart. Here are some simple steps that I use to overcome the issue.

 

The Noon Chart

12 Hours Out

It is best to cast your client’s chart for noon on their birthday then you can only be twelve hours out. Clearly this is not an ideal situation, but it is better than being twenty-four hours off the birth placements which would be the case of you set the chart for 12am at the beginning of the day or 11:59pm at the end of the day.

Suspect Data

Experience will tell you that many people’s birth information is suspect at the best of times. You have to constantly be on the lookout for incorrect birth data and the chart results when face-to-face with your client.

 

The Noon Moon

The Lunar Question

The Moon travels about twelve to fifteen degrees each day and on average about 13° forward. With this movement, halfway through the day (at noon), it will be six to seven and a half degrees out either way and may or may not be of use. 

Moon Sign

However, you could ascertain the lunar sign because if the Moon is between seven and a half degrees and twenty-two and a half degrees of a sign at noon, then you know for sure it is in that sign in the birth chart.  Because the Moon would still be in the sign for a birth first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

Example Moon

In our example chart, the Moon is at 13°49′ Pisces at noon. When you check the 12am chart the Moon starts the day at 06°43′ Pisces. On the 12 midnight chart the Moon has moved to 21°13′ Pisces, so we can be quite confident and say that the Moon was in Pisces in this chart.

 

Natal Noon Chart

Signs and Aspects

With a “noon chart” the planets in the signs and planetary aspects are correct (except the Moon). You can use the dispositor tree, but check the Moon.

Angles and Houses

Unfortunately, there are no firm angles or house cusps because we do not have a birth time. Therefore, you cannot use the Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant or IC or the houses in your chart interpretation. In this case you will not have a chart ruler or a most elevated planet either.

Quality not Quantity

This means of the possible 100% information shown in a normal chart with a noon chart you only have 60% of information. The point is that the 60% you do have is still 100% correct. There is less quantity of information available, but it is still quality information when you interpret a “noon chart”.

Planets on Sign Cusps

0° and 29° Sign Placements

You do need to watch out for inner planets near the cusps of signs and weigh the possibilities of them being in the next sign, or in the previous sign (as we shall see for Venus) for retrograde planets.

Venus

In our example noon chart, you can see that Venus is at 29° 44′ Pisces and is retrograde. We know that Venus can move over 1° each day, so there is the likelihood that it was in another sign earlier in the day, that is before noon. 

In the 12am chart, Venus is at 00° 02′ Aries. So, in this noon chart you must realize that Venus could have been in either Aries or Pisces on the day. Early in the morning Venus was in Aries and later in the day, but before noon, Venus had moved into Pisces. You will need to make an assessment of Venus’ sign for your client.

Neptune

Note that Neptune is also in the 29th degree. Because we know that Neptune moves so much slower, around 0°03′ each day, it does not change signs.

Planetary Stations

Less than 0°10′ of the Station

If a planet is stationary on the birthday, you can bet it is in that position dead-on in the natal chart but do always check.

 

 

Forecasting with a Noon Chart

Direct and Indirect

Forecasting with transits and solar returns (by planetary sign position not house) can be used as well as secondary progressions and solar arc directions the latter two with care.

Overarch

Your Ability

Your role as an astrologer is to help people. When someone comes to you and says, “I don’t know my birth time. Therefore, can I not have my chart done?” You really need to have an answer for these people, and the answer is that yes, you can cast their noon chart. You don’t need to tell them the techniques you will use, but you certainly can give them an astrology reading to the best of your abilities by casting a noon chart. Of course, you haven’t got all the information, but not everybody knows their birth time.

Helping People

If you truly feel that you are there to help people gain insights into their life through the art of astrology, I think it’s important that you do the best you can. Which is by casting a noon chart where you’ve got 60% of correct data and you can help them that way. There are some astrologers who believe that if the person doesn’t have a birth time, they can’t help that person and they will refuse to do the reading, but I’m not one of those people.

Aspects of the Fibonacci Sequence

To remind you the Fibonacci sequence is a pattern in numbers where the previous two are added together to result in the next number in the sequence.

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21…

One plus two equals three, two plus three equals five, three plus five equals eight and so on. It can be drawn as a widening spiral. This shape is found in nature in plants and animals and can be clearly seen in the nautilus shell chambers and in the head of a sunflower. The numbers build on the past sequence to create the future patterns.

It seems to me that this reflects a natal chart as it begins to progress and develop by building on what has gone before. The progressed chart unfolds over time from a base point in time i.e. the natal chart. Situations that occur in life must have been in the natal promise to start with.

 

Read more >>> Aspect Basics

 

Fibonacci Aspects

The aspects in the Fibonacci sequence are:

 

  • Conjunction (1)
  • Opposition (2)
  • Trine (3)
  • Quintile (5)
  • Semi-square (8)
  • Baker’s dozen (13)

Missing Ptolemaic Aspects

In this sequence of numbers we see that the square (4) and the sextile (6) do not appear. Nor will the semi-sextile (12) aspect.

So what? Well, astrology is a system of patterns and symbols. We happily take chart divisions from one to twelve and for the simple reason that every number is represented.

We are also ok to extract the hard aspects in the eighth harmonic (1, 2, 4, 8) and call them manifesting aspects. Surely if the Fibonacci sequence occurs in nature and so is part of the Earth experience, should we not consider this group of aspects in a particular way?

 

Quintile

Perhaps because the quintile aspect is found in the Fibonacci list that is our first clue. Quintiles are closely associated with your creativity and genius.

 

 

13th Harmonic a Baker’s Dozen

What about the thirteenth harmonic?

Keywords transformation and values. This is not an aspect that is widely used in general astrology but can it be somehow associated with the meanings of the others in our sequence, maybe following the quintile theme?

I’m not sure, but using the Fibonacci aspects in a particular way as a group is a theory that has been buzzing in my thoughts for a while now. I wanted to put these ideas out there for consideration.
