No
one can ever seem to make heads or tails out of Stelliums...
Sure...
it's generally agreed a stellium is comprised of three, four, or more
planets in the same zodiacal sign. Then
some go a step further saying the four planets must be a string of conjunctions
in the same zodiacal sign with:
A
conjunct B conjunct C conjunct D.
Then
true radicals claim a stellium is comprised of a string of four conjunctions,
but the four planets involved don't necessarily have to be in the same
zodiacal sign.
Even
if everyone agreed on what a stellium is – truth is that whenever
I look at a stellium, my poor head starts spinning. The fog rolls in!
And
I'm thick as a brick.
Sure,
I'm in high cotton discussing planetary pictures containing multiple
oppositions, squares, trines, sextiles and (even pesky) quincunxes.
But
conjunctions... ugh... conjunctions! And while it's difficult enough
getting a really good grip on how two planetary energies might fuse
together to form a conjunction (two voices becoming one).
Add
a third planet (three voices becoming one)… And I begin to fidget while
feeling a little dis-ease, but I'm still in the ballpark… Add that fourth
or fifth planet…and I'm ready for a full-blown astrologer panic attack!
For
starting to get a handle on energy combinations, I can't highly enough
recommend the Reinhold Ebertin book named Combinations of Stellar
Influences (CSI). Buy

Astrologers
who are Cosmobiologists and Uranians use this book religiously for assistance
in the interpretation of midpoints. But it can be used by anyone interested
in gaining a clearer picture of any energy combinations (even conjunctions).
