Malefic Cockblock

Malefics can be difficult, the tougher parts of life sending hot itches of irritation under our skin that won’t go away. They tell us “no.” Mars screams it with heated tones. Saturn announces it in a monotone.

Recently I’ve observed clients being told “no” by their malefic out of sect or MOOS, the most traditionally difficult planet in a person’s natal chart. Maybe it’s a “no” that we can eventually turn into a “yes” with more work.

If you were born at day and have a day chart, then this is Mars. If you were born at night and have a night chart, then this is Saturn.

I know two different people who have their MOOS in the 9th House. One person was born during the day and has Mars in the 9th, and the other was born during the night and has Saturn in the 9th. Both of these people started higher education through a university but never completed or graduated with a degree. They both stopped their schooling due to unfortunate circumstances but ended up feeling it was for the best despite being so rough at that time.

A client was born during the night and has Saturn in the 3rd House, and they switch their work shifts around every few months because they can’t find a normal routine that feels good consistently.

A client was born during the day and has Mars in the 11th House, and they needed a lot of time to find a group of friends that remains supportive and loyal during their different phases of life such as coming out as queer, moving across the country, and starting their own business.

A client was born during the night and has Saturn in the 7th House, and they have a lovely long term partner but continually have some tension over the always changing dynamic of the relationship while navigating polyamory.

A client was born during the day and has Mars in the 1st House, and they are told how polarizing they are to be around with some people loving their abrasiveness and others being turned off by their vibrantly pulsing energy.

An analogy to consider is how we handle separation, the ultimate “no” of rejection from a partner. This “no” becomes a relational ending. How we experience separation depends on the context, and how others view it can influence how we respond to it.

Breakups are so Mars. The relationship was broken, leaning into a more petty or aggressive form of ending.

An experience of “no” that stings and gets our blood boiling.

Divorces are so Saturn. The relationship died, leaning into a more cold and cunning form of ending.

An experience of “no” that leaves us empty and lonely.

These examples are to show that everyone has a MOOS, no matter where or when you were born. It’s not something to fight, but instead to constructively work with, even when it’s challenging.

And this is not to say that the malefic that favors your sect will always be super friendly. They are still malefic, although whatever comes with it will likely be considerably easier to manage.

We will be told “no” in life. It’s inevitable that something will not go in our favor at some point. Charmed as some may be, there is no avoiding reality.

Malefics bring us down to reality in ways that other planets cannot — the cockblocks of the sky.

And the release after being held up or down is always so, so, so sweet.
