Compensations
Before reading on, note these compensations for a lack of fixed quality in the chart. Compensations do not necessarily make up for an extreme deficiency, unless they are very strong or very numerous compensations. Compensations for weak (or lack of) fixed signs include:
- Sun in fixed sign
- sun conjunct Pluto
- Sun conjunct Saturn
- Sun conjunct Uranus
- Sun conjunct the Ascendant
- Sun conjunct the midheaven
- Sun in or ruling a fixed (succedent) house
- Predominance of earth signs
- locomotive pattern
