✦ Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in a single sign or a single house. A chart has ten planets to distribute, so a stellium puts a large share of one chart into one register — that department of life tends to run loud, for better and worse, and the rest of the chart is quieter for it. Practice varies on the threshold: some astrologers require four, and some count the Ascendant, Midheaven or nodes as members. This app counts three of the ten planets, and says which sign or house holds them.

In transits

A stellium is what a transit lands ON, not something a transit does. One slow contact to a stellium is several contacts in sequence: the transiting planet crosses each member in turn, so what would be a single passage over a lone planet becomes a long season with repeated peaks, and the same theme arrives from three angles instead of one.

Example in a combination

Four planets in Aries is a stellium: Saturn crossing that sign spends two years making the same argument four separate times.
