Layne Staley’s birth chart
The aspects
22 August 1967, 07:38, Kirkland, WA, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Layne as “you”.
Important elements of every horoscope are also the aspects – they are angles which the planets and other important points form with each other.
Here, we consider six most important aspects: Conjunction (0 degrees), Sextile (60 degrees), Square (90 degrees), Trine (120 degrees), Inconjunction (150 degrees), Opposition (180 degrees).
The more accurate the angle between two planets is, the more important and influential is their relationship in your horoscope. When calculating the aspects, we also consider a certain deviation, which depends on the importance of the aspect and the planets involved (deviation can be anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees of the exact angle).
There are also many smaller aspects, which are only important, if they are very accurate (up to 1 degree) and they, of course, have smaller power or influence. They can be of help with a more detailed and deeper analysis or description of personal horoscope, but for now, we do not take them into consideration.
Continue reading the analysis for all your aspects.
Sun inconjunct Moon
With such aspect, you strive for inner harmony and are constantly learning and fulfilling in harmonizing the female and male side of your personality. On one hand you have a lot of strength, on the other you often feel weak, but try to hide it with, for example, a more rough behavior, etc. You often also choose a partner with whom you perhaps don't get along with very much and with whom you somehow change these roles and with whom you need to learn cooperation and adaptation.
Sun conjunction Mercury
Conjunction is actually the only aspect which the Sun and Mercury can form, because the maximum distance between them is less than 30 degrees (and so less than one astrological sign). You are usually a dynamic, moveable and persuasive person and usually have good ability of speech and communication. You quickly make conclusions and connections (unless Mercury is in another bad aspect or goes retrograde) and you often also have a good nose for business, you also master the art of bluffing. You have a sharp and quick mind, sense of detail and you are cunning, although you are also often talented in languages, writing, music and art. You are very sociable, also easy going and adaptable, that is why you have many acquaintances and friends and people, as a rule, like you and often invite you places. You have an audacious, curious and youthful nature and often also looks.
Moon inconjunct Mercury
Such position brings you a certain test of expressing emotions and adapting in relationships (especially relationships of emotional nature). You like talking and you talk a lot, you exaggerate, dramatize, you reactions to everything are over sensitive. You worry too much about superfluous things and trivialities, so you often have trouble seeing the essence. You often say something too quickly and then you are sorry, that is why it is useful for you to use ' method of writing letters' in such cases – pour your thoughts on paper and sleep on it, you can still send the letter later. ;)
Moon opposition Uranus
Such aspect brings unrest, nervousness and impulsiveness; you are often prone to being nervous and irritable. You are constantly driven by something, you have curious nature and are always exploring. Emotionally, you are too sensitive and moody and not always understood, so you sometimes feel lonely and alienated, but because of your exciting energy, you attract people and usually at least awake their interest. You are creative, innovative and have strong intuition, which usually appears as a flash of wit, but sometimes you wander in your own world and lose the ground beneath your feet. Because you are extremely sensitive, you react strongly to medicine and aggressive substances, you are prone to allergy, you can also be slightly anemic. You need emotionally dynamic relationships and you don't like routine. For you, it is useful to work in areas, which are involved with the common good (nature, ecology...), it is very advisable you keep frequent contact with nature and earth, because you need to be grounded.
Moon trine Neptune
With such aspect, you are emotional, sensitive and compassionate. You have vivid imagination and strongly developed intuition which guides you through life. You are usually creative, are interested in art and are talented for art, you can be especially creative in painting and music, you are also interested in film and photography. You are pleasant and mild (if, of course, other stronger positions or aspects don't prevail) and people like you. You often bring a sort of freshness and colorless to a room. You are interested in psychology and esoterics, are attracted to everything which is mystical, mysterious. You have a very developed inner and dream world, into which you often withdraw to process current events.

Venus inconjunct Saturn

You are not the most adaptable person and often have difficulties harmonizing the male and female part of your personality, also your working and free time, business and pleasure.

Venus square MC
You are enterprising and ambitious, often because of unfulfilled desire for love, acceptance and recognition that you perhaps lacked in childhood.
