1. A
stellium is a cluster of three or more
planets closely related by sign or house.
Astrologers differ in their use of this
term; some consider a stellium to be
five or more planets (Nicholas deVore,
Encyclopedia of
Astrology, Littlefield,
Adams & Co., 1976), although others
define it more loosely, as I do (Fred
Gettings,
The Arkana
Dictionary of Astrology,
Arkana, 1990). Read more about the differences
between waxing and waning aspects in

Lunation Cycle published

2. The personal
planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and
Mars. Their faster motion helps to differentiate
personality traits of people born within hours
(in the case of the Moon), days, weeks, or months
of each other.
