Venus in Capricorn - Love, Gravity, and Existence on an atomic and universal level
Because I want to use that concept as a baseline; I want it to be the framework. And I want to then juxtapose that idea into an astrological term: Venus in Capricorn.
We have all heard about Love from our earliest days when we began to comprehend words. It was one of the most-often repeated phrases in our young lives, and it has been a powerful base of function thereafter. But what is Love on a Micro level? A sub-atomic level--or a simultaneous universal level?
The answer is Gravity: the very binding force of Nature that draws together two objects to each other. In the micro world, this is represented by the most basic pairing of atoms: two in a terrific force of attraction to each other. This is gravity: the sensational pull of two; one for each other.
On an astrological level, this is the highest level of Venus in Capricorn: a Love that Endures, Persists, Builds, Creates, Manifests, and Establishes precedence of Existence.
To me, this is the beauty of Venus in Capricorn: a determined effort to draw and create an energy force of “Like Attracts Like” with magnetic power; the smallest vibration of a union that is both a blend but also a separate measure together-but-apart: two atoms, both independent but joined, and not fused.
(Nuclear Fusion; the splitting and reforming of two atomic particles and sub-particles. This what creates chemical patterns of potential life. Not just human life, but ALL.)

What did YOU do in a past life?
REVISITING a conundrum about astrology and how it's viewed in the Western world versus other areas about the ancient topic of reincarnation and living in a previous life....
That's January 10, 2006, no time known. She was only nine years old when she made this first recording. (She's 19 now.) Her name is Angelina Jordan; her ancestry is Norwegian and Korean. Want to tell HER she didn't know this song from a past life? Her grand-mother introduced her to jazz singers when she was only two years old. I think Grandma knew and so did the kid.
What I HAVE done privately is work on configuring her chart (time unknown), and I'm using Placidus instead of Koch in spite of Oslo (her birth city) being a bit further north. Outcome regardless, and I'll hold that bet: that's a Gemini ASC (Moon 11th house Gemini); 8th house Sun (OH yeah, she knows about life/death issues), 3rd house Saturn in Leo, and Scorpio Jupiter/Sagittarius Pluto 6th: let her TELL you some life truths, I swear! Capricorn Venus 9th; that's her business and travel, and OLD material, yes; Aquarius Neptune 10th (she works independently as a solo artist); and Taurus Mars 12th (you never IMAGINED anyone so powerful with a voice so young).

Past lifetimes and astrology - a view with a laugh
But just for fun, I did this as a challenge:
For my next lifetime, I will...
Aries: Initiates life on a barren planet.
Taurus: Spends the next lifetime as a tree.
Gemini: Comes back next lifetime as a crow: can't stop telling everyone about it.
Cancer: Sustains the primordial soup of life after Aries is finished.
Leo: Solar flare. What did you expect?
Virgo: Oversees evolution on planet after Aries and Cancer.
Libra: Makes sure that flowers are part of the process after Virgo.
Scorpio: Spends the next lifetime as a great white shark. Just keep orcas away from me.
Sagittarius: THERE's your comet.
Capricorn: Spends the next lifetime as a mountain. Bigger. Better. Famous.
Aquarius: Exists as a different lifeform on the evolving planet. CERTAINLY not as a human.
Pisces: Nope. Not incarnating or doing anything except chilling out for...well, time isn't measured in that reality.

LGTBQ signs? Why does it matter to you?
Let me make this statement up front because it seems that some people look for this kind of information: there isn't any "guaranteed" sign for someone who is gay, lesbian, trans-gender, or bisexual. Yes, some signs and aspects have more potential--but to label them here is pointless. It's pointless because as soon as I do it (and it's been written enough in astrology books on that subject), someone is going to label someone else--and I'm not going to join in that foolish game.
Regarding houses: keep your eye on the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th, and 12th. And there’s no hard-and-fast rule to any of these as areas of Life Experiences.

Signs - the Actors and Actresses in our Life Expressions
The SIGNS emphasize an actor or actress who is playing the role in the movie or play about your life—and how they decide to portray the scene. They are energized by the planet with which they are working. Some signs are excitable, some are quiet, some are serious. They follow the cue of the planet to which they are assigned for that part of your life energies, and are influenced and enhanced by the houses in which they are placed by the time of birth (the natal chart analysis), and current activities (transits, solar return-birthday cycle, or progressions).
1. ARIES shows ACTION AND INITIATIVE
2. TAURUS shows STABILITY AND GROUNDING
3. GEMINI shows INQUISITIVENESS AND BASIC LEARNING
4. CANCER shows EMPATHY AND NURTURING
5. LEO shows APPRECIATION AND DISPLAY
6. VIRGO shows CRITICAL ANALYSES AND SERVICES BEING OFFERED
7. LIBRA shows COMPROMISE AND PARTNERSHIP RELATIONS
8. SCORPIO shows INSIGHT FOR MOTIVATIONS AND MAGNETIC ATTRACTION
9. SAGITTARIUS shows EXPANSION OF THOUGHT THROUGH HIGHER IDEALS
10. CAPRICORN shows PERMANENCE OF IDENTITY BEING ESTABLISHED
11. AQUARIUS shows UNEXPECTED BRILLIANCE AND HUMANITARIAN WORKS
12. PISCES shows UNION WITH DIVINE EXISTENCE OF THE CREATOR/GOD-SELF

A basic guide to planets and symbols
I was working on a concept to describe the glyphs (symbols) as a language of human behavior, and this is the result. Not complete as a total idea, but it's the basics.
