A psychological assessment based on your planetary placements, not what the planets mean, but what they reveal about how you think, feel, defend, and grow.
Your Psychological Profile
This isn't what your planets mean, it's who you are. These six dimensions combine your planetary placements into a genuine psychological picture.
You define yourself through action. When asked 'who are you?', you instinctively think of what you've done, not what you feel. Sitting still feels like falling behind. Your identity was built on being first, being brave, and never looking weak.
Emotions are big and they need an audience. Not because you're dramatic (though you can be), but because unexpressed feelings feel physically trapped. You need to be seen in your joy, your pain, and everything in between.
You project authority and seriousness. People respect you before they warm to you. The internal experience is different: you feel the weight of every responsibility, and sometimes wish someone would take care of you for once.
How Your Inner Forces Interact
Your planets don't operate in isolation, they negotiate, conflict, and amplify each other. These are the key psychological dynamics running inside you.
Who you think you are vs how you actually feel
Your Sun in Aries (Fire) and Moon in Leo (Fire) share elemental compatibility. Who you think you are vs how you actually feel, and in your chart, these two functions cooperate rather than compete. Your sense of self and your emotional world speak the same language, which gives you a stable inner foundation that many people lack.
Your romantic desires vs your pursuit style
Your Venus in Aries (Fire) and Mars in Leo (Fire) share elemental compatibility. What you want and how you go after it are naturally aligned. You don't sabotage your own desires with contradictory behavior, when you want something, your pursuit style matches the goal. This makes you effective in both romance and competition.
What holds you back vs what pushes you forward
Your discipline (Scorpio) operates through emotion and intuition, but your impulses (Leo) are fiery and aggressive. You restrain yourself through guilt rather than logic.
Your analytical mind vs your faith system
Your analytical mind (Mercury in Aries, Fire) and your belief system (Jupiter in Virgo, Earth) don't naturally agree. You may find yourself knowing something logically but believing something different emotionally. This tension can make you a complex, nuanced thinker, or someone paralyzed between reason and faith.
Your Psychological Summary
Express-and-Release, you process emotions through action, expression, and physical discharge. Feelings don't sit with you long, which makes recovery fast but understanding slow.
Instinctive Decider, you make decisions quickly based on gut feeling and move immediately. Deliberation feels like weakness. Best when speed matters; dangerous when nuance does.
You may feel like your thoughts are too complex to communicate, or that people don't truly hear you. The gap between what you think and what comes out of your mouth causes quiet frustration.
Your primary growth edge is developing your Mercury function, the area where Expression Wound lives. This isn't about fixing a flaw; it's about integrating the part of yourself you've been protecting.

Yoga Interference Analysis
How your yogas interact with each other, reinforcing or creating tension
⚖️ Tension Patterns
Your drive (Chandra-Mangala Yoga) can amplify the intensity of Ashtama Mangala. The courage that fuels success can also fuel reactive patterns. Channel Mars energy before it channels you.
Mars links Horasara Dhana Yoga with Ashtama Mangala, creating a volatile mix of ambition and aggression. Your assertiveness is an asset, but unchecked it becomes the source of conflict. Physical activity before major decisions is your best tool.
Your wisdom capacity (Sunapha Yoga) is periodically distorted by Sakata Yoga. Expansion and obstruction alternate. Stay consistent regardless of the cycle.
Your emotional strength (Chandra-Mangala Yoga) and emotional vulnerability (Sakata Yoga) coexist through Moon. Under stress, you may withdraw even though you possess deep wisdom. The override: recognize withdrawal as a pattern, not a truth.
Jupiter links Saraswati Yoga with Sakata Yoga, creating tension between growth and limitation. Your natural optimism can be undermined during difficult sub-periods. The key: trust the larger arc even when the current chapter is challenging.
Your intellect (Raja Yoga) can overthink the patterns from Multiple Combustion. The mind that solves problems can also create them through excessive analysis.
Combined Pattern Insight
Strong elevation potential supported by multiple structural pillars. intellectual firepower amplifies all other patterns. wealth accumulates through long-term strategy rather than sudden gains. emotional depth is both strength and vulnerability. internal tension between power and sensitivity creates depth, not weakness.

Why William Lilly's Chart Stands Out
The chart backs William Lilly’s public standing with Raja Yoga through Mercury+Venus. Venus is the chart’s strongest planet by Shadbala at 76 percent, giving relationships, art, comfort, and diplomacy unusual weight in how this life expresses itself. The 10th house in Libra under Venus frames the public career.
Planetary Dominance In William Lilly's Chart
| Rank | Planet | Shadbala | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Venus | 76% | weak |
| 2 | Saturn | 76% | weak |
| 3 | Sun | 62% | weak |
| 4 | Rahu | 62% | weak |
| 5 | Ketu | 58% | very weak |
| 6 | Moon | 57% | very weak |
| 7 | Mars | 55% | very weak |
| 8 | Jupiter | 55% | very weak |
| 9 | Mercury | 51% | very weak |
Venus dominates the planetary hierarchy at 76 percent of full Shadbala, so the chart leads with taste and relationship; charm and aesthetics open the important doors.
Mercury is the least supported at 51 percent, which means detail work and negotiation reward extra preparation.

How Rare Is William Lilly's Combination?
Across the 17,363 charts in this database, 635 share William Lilly’s Purva Phalguni Moon. The tighter pairing of an Aries Sun with a Purva Phalguni Moon appears in 55 of them, about 0.32 percent.
Public Recognition Signature
What Put William Lilly In Public View
The 10th lord Venus placed in the 4th house carries William Lilly’s reputation from the terrain of home, roots, and inner ground. The Sun, karaka of visibility, ranks 3rd of 9 planets by Shadbala at 62 percent. Rahu in the 11th house adds the amplification the texts associate with mass reach and appetite for scale. The Moon, the public face, carries 57 percent strength from the 8th house.
Career Signature
The 10th House Picture
In William Lilly’s chart the 10th house of career falls in Libra, ruled by Venus, which sits in the 4th house in Aries. No planet occupies the 10th house, so its lord carries the career signal alone. Venus, the strongest planet in the chart by Shadbala at 76 percent, is itself the career lord, an unusually direct alignment between capacity and vocation.
The Chart's Voice
Venus is the strongest planet in William Lilly’s chart, carrying 76 percent of full Shadbala strength. In practice the chart leads with taste and relationship; charm and aesthetics open the important doors.
Wealth Signature
The 2nd And 11th Houses
Wealth in William Lilly’s chart is read from the 2nd house (Aquarius, lord Saturn) and the 11th house (Scorpio, lord Mars). Saturn and Rahu in the 11th give the money houses direct planetary tenants. Among these, Saturn is the best supported at 76 percent of full Shadbala, so gains flow most reliably through discipline, labour, delay, and lasting structures.
Relationship Signature
The 7th House, Venus, And The Moon
The 7th house of partnership in William Lilly’s chart falls in Cancer under Moon, whose lord answers from the 8th house. Venus, karaka of partnership, sits in Aries in the 4th house at 76 percent strength, though combustion by the Sun asks the relationship life to fight for its own space. The Moon's 57 percent support sets how much emotional ballast the partnerships can draw on.
Rare Planetary Combinations
Sun stands exalted, operating at full classical strength.
Sun, Mercury and Venus cluster in the 4th house in Aries, concentrating home, roots, and inner ground far beyond the average chart.

William Lilly's Life Pattern
Personality and growth both register tension in William Lilly's chart. The central conflict pairs a Sun exalted in the 4th house (Aries) against a 1st lord Saturn weak in an enemy sign in the 11th house: radiant force at the root of the chart, a strained owner of the self. That exalted Sun doubles as 8th lord, which turns growth into a challenge in the bundle's reading, and decision making reads as a challenge too, routed through the same weakened Saturn ruling the 1st and 2nd houses. Pressure handling still registers as a strength through the 4th house Sun, and a Gandanta Yoga involving the Sun marks the career domain, with the Moon friendly in the 8th house (Leo).
