I was reading this description below on the conjunction by wikipedia. I have Moon/Mercury conjunct in Pisces 7th. This inspired me to explore some famous examples of the Conjunction and I had some pretty interesting results.
A conjunction (abrv. Con) is an angle of approximately 0-10°. An orb of approximately 10° is usually considered a conjunction, however if neither the Sun or Moon is involved, some consider the conjunction to be a separation (orb) of only about 0±08°. This is said to be the most powerful aspect, intensifying the effects of the involved planets mutually — and being a major point in the chart.
The planets will act together to outside stimulus and act on each other. The essential feature of a conjunction is that each planet brings out a characteristic in accord with its own nature out of the other planet. This may probably be difficult to achieve without the aid of the other planet. This process, however, will also cause each planet involved to lose some of its true characteristics. For example, a person with a conjunction of Mercury and the Moon will find it easy to talk (Mercury) about his or her feelings (Moon) and rationalize them. However, due to their intellectual approach to emotions, it follows that their feelings also lose some depth, therefore, these people cannot handle heavy emotional demands. On the other hand, the involvement of the emotions (Moon) in the rational thinking process (Mercury) makes it easy for the person to think and communicate with sensitivity and consideration. This ability can, however, take away some of the objectivity (Mercury) from the thinking process due to biases from loyalties, emotional attachments, and so on (Moon).
Whether the union is to be regarded as “positive” or “negative” depends upon what planets are involved: Venus, Jupiter and the Sun, in any possible combination, is considered the most favourable scenario (and all three actually met on November 9–10, 1970, for example), while the most unfavourable configurations involve Mars, Saturn, and/or the Moon (with all three conjoining on March 10 in that same year). If the planets are under stress from other configurations, then the conjunction will be said to intensify the stress. When a planet is in very close conjunction to the Sun it is referred to as cazimi; when a planet is moderately close to Sun, it is said to be combust. The Sun and Moon are in conjunction monthly during the New Moon.
Here are famous people with a conjunction in their natal chart.
Patrick Swayze
Sun in Leo conjunct Pluto 12th, Sex appeal/battling life threatening illness/become self destructive through father’s death/the goal is self transfomation.
This conjunction symbolizes his strong sexual powers, and Pluto his personal transfomation through his struggles. Best known for his roles in Dirty dancing and Ghost, he has been a favourite among women for his magnetic sex appeal. Father had a powerful influence upon him, when Swayze’s father died of a heart atttack the star turned to alcholism and withdrew from the limelight for a while. Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in late January 2008, and has been undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments at the Stanford University Medical Center. A March 5, 2008 Reuters article reports that Swayze “has a very limited amount of disease, and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far”. Swayze’s doctor has confirmed the actor has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but insists he’s not as close to death as reports suggest.
Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Cancer/11th
Jupiter=Popular Uranus = Movement through group politics.
Before his presidency, he was leader of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) centre-right party. Under Jacques Chirac’s presidency, he served as Minister of the Interior in Jean-Pierre Raffarin ’s (UMP) first two governments (from May 2002 to March 2004), then was appointed Minister of Finances in Raffarin’s last government (March 2004 to May 2005), and again Minister of the Interior in Dominique de Villepin’s government (2005-2007).
John Lennon
Mars conjunct Neptune Libra/6th. Peace activist, Musician, artist.
My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
Albert Einstein
Mercury Conjunct Saturn in Aries/10th. New Discovery! He is best known for his theory of relativity. Einstein below on the limits of the mind.
“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.” “Anyone who has never make a mistake has never tried anything new.”"No, this trick won\’t work … how on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?” “Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.” “The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking” “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.” “Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.” “The deeper we search, the more we find there is to know . . .” “Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.” “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT\’S relativity.” “All of physics is either impossible or trivial. It\’s impossible until you understand it. Then, it becomes trivial.” “Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.” “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I\’m not sure about the former.” “By painful experience we have learned that rational thinking does not suffice to solve the problems of our social life.” “The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” “Where there is love, there is no imposition.”
