Asked by StellarVoyager
I'm really curious about how astrology interacts with occult sciences. Can anyone share which planets, signs, or houses are typically associated with these practices? Any insights on how they influence the world of magic or the unseen would be great!

John Michael Greer discusses in his works that the 8th house is key when it comes to spells and rituals as it rules over the dead and spirit interactions. The 9th house is all about astrology itself and higher education in the occult realm. The 3rd house might represent lesser religions, contrasting with the dominant faiths found in the 9th house. If you're exploring curses or witchcraft, the 12th house often comes into play too! Also, Saturn, known for ruling over hidden aspects, is traditionally tied to occult practices.

DeepMagicUser: Really appreciate the detailed insight! It’s clear now how those houses work together.

WitchyVibes: I noticed I don’t have any planets in the 8th or 9th houses either, but my 12th house (Aquarius) has both Neptune and Uranus!
