What in a natal chart makes one inherently geared towards the Occult, subjects such as mysticism & astrology?
I don’t really know AstroLady, but this question had me get out my natal chart and start looking. I noticed that Pisces is on the cusp of the 9th house and Neptune (ruler of Pisces) is semisquare my sun in Sagittarius and sextile Jupiter (ruler of Sag). Aquarius is on the cusp of the 8th house and Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) making aspects to just about everything. I am very interested in Astrology, the social sciences, religion & different cultures. The “hard” sciences interest me too but find it too serious and intense. Mysticism & other occult subjects I just find curious. With the northern node in the 5th house in Sagittarius, I couldn’t make that connection. Anyway, I hope this helped a little.
I think that there is a Pisces, Libra Aquarian conspiracy going on in my chart that leads me to lean towards the occult. My Sun is in the 12th house in Pisces along with my Mercury AND Venus is in the 11th in Pisces. There is something fishy going on there! My Mars is in the 9th in Cap and my moon is in Libra in the 6th. When you look at all of those together I think that it gives a very visionary, dreamy sort of bend to my universe. It also leads me easily to the arts and more interesting religions. So when those options were presented early on in my life I took them 🙂 It seemed like a good travel adventure 🙂 When I was young my grandmother hand cast a chart for me and proudly announced that I was a whale Pisces. She never did elaborate but I think that after all of these years I am starting to see what she meant. Enjoy your universe!
