I’ve always kind of ignored the big glaring pentagram in my chart, but recently I started trying to understand it. I can’t find much about pentagram configurations, and most of what I have found came from forums like this. I’m hoping that somebody here can help me, and by extension help other confused people scouring the web for info about this pattern. Thanks in advance!
I have heard other people refer to this 5-sided aspect pattern as a “lantern” or “stretched pentagram”, but I can’t find anything about either of those terms. Please, if you know anything about them or whether or not it’s even an accurate description of my chart, I’d be very curious. Most of what I have to go off of regarding the significance of this configuration only talks about the Grand Quintile, and most of that is about Hitler, with whom I have little else in common. This lack of info is unfortunate.
The points of the star in my chart are arranged as follows:
Gemini 13’56" (Mars Rx) — Leo 12′ 04" (Jupiter) — Scorpio 11’24" (Mercury combust) — Capricorn 12’09" (Neptune) — Pisces 14’33" (Moon)
Attachment 62439
The first thing that jumps out to me is that my 3 most dominant signs are involved (Scorp/Leo/Cap), as well as my 2nd most dominant planet (Mercury). Also, Saturn is in aspect to two of the points of the star, and while Saturn was in my sign of Scorpio from 2012 to 2015, my creative energies were severely disrupted after a youth dedicated to the arts (music/visual/written). When I started being creatively productive again, my talent was focused in new areas where I’ve found more success than ever, though I have mostly abandoned the art forms I practiced when I was younger. Saturn forced me to grow in many ways during that period, but only upon examining the pentagram here did I understand how it influenced my creative energies as well.
The next thing I realize is that 4 out of 5 of these points on the star line up fairly well with the Venus Pentagram’s lobes from the 1980s to now — except my Moon is off. To properly line up with Venus, my moon would need to be placed in Aries, whereas in my chart it is shifted over just a smidge into Pisces.
So it’s not a Grand Quintile, as I only have 3 yods and none of them are Golden Yods. They are all basic Yods with a sextile connecting the base. There’s no fluff in the configuration (no asteroids, fixed points, ASC/DSC, etc.) If I were to include stuff like that, all of my quincunxes are shadowed by nearly parallel biquintiles and/or more quincunxes. Also, my Part of Fortune makes one of the yods into a boomerang (Jupiter apex). Though I can’t imagine these tangential connections are generally important, transits touching these other points might activate the pentagram, if only slightly. I’m not sure.
My pentagram is based off of the quincunx + trine aspects rather than the quintile alone. Both quintile & quincunx are related to creativity and the math of 5, but I don’t understand the difference in how they are expressed. I do also have some biquintiles and a quintile in the chart, tho. The apex of two of my yods (Jupiter and Mars) are each biquintile to planets near the apex of the third yod at Neptune (but just out of orb for conjunction). Not sure if that has significance or not.
This leaves me with a few questions. I’ll take any insight people have.
1. How different is the stretched pentagram from the grand quintile, in terms of nature, effect, expression, and power?
2. Is it just me or is that a lot of Yods? Should I be worried–and how do I make the most of them?
3. What is that trine doing there?
4. Is my Jupiter helped or hindered by this configuration? I can’t tell, but I definitely feel the impact of the hard aspects between Jupiter and inner planets.
