American Presidents and Least-aspected Saturn:Astrology

�Your material is superb ... Because of my interest in aspects as well as Astro*Carto*Graphy I found your discussion of least-aspected planets very interesting and can validate some of it. Had never looked at this concept in A*C*G before and am excited with what I've found. Will go back to your site often ... I find the triple-zero Transcendentals fascinating...�

"I had a guru with an unaspected Sun. He always thought that it allowed him the maximum freedom of expressing the Sun's meaning and function. Perhaps aspects not only help manifest or express a planet's meaning and function they also limit its scope of action."

"I urge you to visit Robert Couteau's Canopus Award of Excellence winning site. The site has so much information it's like tapping into a book - there are some truly amazing charts and interpretations, and I am particularly fascinated by Robert's 'least aspected' theories. I cannot praise too highly the professional approach Robert shows in his work. Do yourself a favour!"

"I've just checked into your website, and I am extremely impressed with your discoveries and presentation! Thank you. Please know that your work requires / deserves much time for study and assimilation........I feel it is really a "book" that all of us should study..."

"I think your article is one of the best pieces of astrology I have read in the last year or so. Not only does it demonstrate ACG in action, but it also goes a long way to demonstrate the importance of the under-aspected planet, on which there is relatively little written. With so many possible foci in a chart - angular planets, chart ruler, G-sector planets, final dispositor, etc. etc., - your study is a very convincing case for unaspected planets."

"Couteau's Astrocartography is not only a good primer on locational astrology, but a cogent presentation of Robert Couteau's theory that the least aspected planet in anyone's chart is a key to understanding not only the horoscope but also the person's place in the world - his or her astrolocality, as it were. Couteau dubs this least aspected focal point the 'Transcendent Planet' - if the person moves or travels to a place on earth where that planet is angular, as clearly explained in the Introduction page of this website. Celebrity and historical charts aplenty illustrate Couteau's thesis - or rather, their astrocartography maps do. (Couteau also explains how midpoints, 'parans' and other complications figure into his Transcendental Planet scheme...)

"Couteau's Astrocartography furnishes ample case studies in support of his theory, both in terms of biographies and in relation to historical events. There's a great deal more besides - this site is a virtual online book, and there's even a second volume with more on transcendental planets. Thanks, Robert, for making so much quality astrology available free for the browsing!"

"You have been able to identify a very essential or core element of psychic or psychological process in life in terms of evolutionary potential. Revealing the least-aspected planet (LAP) as key in this process marks this as some of the most seminal work done in Astrology for many years. This is major stuff, not just a side note to psychological astrology, but core in its implications. I feel it is a must in terms of incorporating this component into the Inner-Active archetypal encounters I invite people to engage in. This archetype (LAP) will become a major player in these archetypal encounters, since it is key in terms of 'Individuation' (the journey toward wholeness). I wonder if you realize how good you are at connecting Jungian concepts to Astrology... one of the best I've seen! You keep up the good work ... I always learn something at your site!"

"I just happened upon your web site by wanting to read something inspiring about Neptune (I'm a Pisces). I did find your description of Neptune most eloquent and especially so your discussion of the "imaginal" quality of this elusive Planet ... I feel that happening onto your web site is something of a heaven-sent, divine gift -- or should I say Neptunian? I thank you for putting up your site and your thoughtful research and discovery of the transformational function of the least aspected planet."
