No Pairs


It is the most usual case to have no planetary pairs at all, just as it is the most unusual case to have many planetary pairs.


Having pairs, I believe, doesn't make a person better or worse, more or less talented, nor more or less lucky in life. The examples I give tend to be successful people, because the successful become the noticed, and that is where I find my cannon fodder. What I do think is that having pairs makes a person more single minded than usual. This is because when they experience transits both planets in the pair will probably be activated at the same time, and therefore neither will at some other time, meaning fewer moments of activation, but perhaps more intense ones. Being more single minded may be an ingredient in one sort of success, and may lead to fame, but also it can make a person quite boring through being one-dimensional, or lead to more extreme events in one's life.


Also, the nature of experience as both inner and outer, means that where one individual has the experience of being the proactive participant in events, another may experience the same abstract/archetype through the actions of others. This makes it less easy to say whether it will be you that wins the lottery of life, in some fashion, or whether you will just be stood next to the actual winner and get some vicarious experience.


Also, pairs by conjunction (conjunct) are not the only manner in which planets can come together, but they are the only way in which they can manifest together, i.e. in the same house position. The person for whom planets activate together by trine (trine) for instance, will necessarily benefit, or otherwise, from the involvement of self and others when experiencing transits, because for a trine aspect the planets must sit one on either side of the chart, whereas the person with pairs will experience transits as self OR as other. Similarly, those with an opposition (opposite) will necessarily interact with others, or otherness, but with the elemental difference of a mirror image, while the square (square) brings an interaction of greater difference elementally, but with less cooperation than the opposition, so interactions may or may not, proceed harmoniously.


This list is composed, somewhat randomly, of those extremely successful, or otherwise, people, also on my somewhat limited database, who if there were some advantage or disadvantage to having planetary pairs, may have been expected to be in possession of such, but were not. The list shows other features that they do have, that may be expected to act as a different kind of pairing.


Some of the people listed only miss out on being classed as having a pair by a very small amount. For instance, Keith Richards has the classic Mars/Uranus conjunction for guitarists, but by just over the 2 degrees that I have taken as an arbitrary cut-off point. This is why you will also find him on that list as well. Where I have categorised them, there will be an indication of other aspects that could stand in for a pair, or of conjunctions that just miss out.


There is an inherent bias to be aware of; in all such lists, the origin of the data is generally from among the famous. This does not invalidate it, but is something to take notice of. With this list in particular, it being just my judgment of who seems like they might have had pairs but didn't, is especially prone to bias, but they do fit the 'cap'.


People with No Pairs


Some pertinent aspects of people who miss out on pairs - not an exhaustive list of their aspects.


NB. This list is not fully processed, especially as names get inserted as I add new examples to my database. But the general rule is that there are many ways in which people express planets, and each planet is there whenever we perform its function. What we tend to see is that where one person enacts a conjunction between two planets, someone else doing much the same thing, on the face of it, is expressing the same planets in a different aspect, such as an opposition.
