Uranus is the first dominant in Niall Horan’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Uranus is the planet of change and disruption, so it’s no surprise that it would be the dominant planet in Niall Horan’s astral chart. This planet governs Niall’s impulsivity, his need for freedom, and his rebellious streak. All of these qualities make Niall a uniquely gifted artist and performer.

This planet symbolizes the principle of independence and self-sufficiency, as well as a principle of transformation. Its most striking characteristic is distance from others: the Uranian strives to stand out from the herd, distanced from structuring influences like convention, tradition, etc. Although this need to free himself from the confines of convention, tradition, and family symbolizes an appeal for freedom and a desire to evolve beyond the bounds of physical limits toward a spiritual dimension, it may also correspond to a form of escape.

This is why Niall Horan sometimes needs to cut himself off from situations or relationships which feel stifling to him. Horan’s intense fear of being swallowed up psychologically causes him to react to certain emotional demands by making himself remote or running away. Horan needs a lot of space and frequent change. In a relationship, Horan is seeking a certain degree of intellectual excitement. Without it, Horan feels as though an unbearable, suffocating boredom sets in.

By refusing certain concessions to convention which are practically inevitable, Horan may find himself in unpleasant situations. Finding an intelligent alternative to the routine set by the rigid forms of the past is extremely different from rebelling against any form of authority, in the settings of family, school, business, or society. One of the major problems Horan has to solve is how to wield his freedom, in his emotional relationships, as well as his relationships with society.

Saturn is the second dominant in Niall Horan’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Niall’s Saturn Return is a time when Saturn comes back to the same place it was in when Niall was born. This is a time of reckoning, a time when Niall must take stock of his life and make some major decisions. It’s a time of challenge, but also a time of great opportunity. Niall can use this time to make some major changes in his life, to get on track and achieve his goals.

Saturn has always been associated with the moon, itself a peripheral heavenly body because it belongs to Earth and not to the solar system. Therefore, both Saturn and the moon are aspects of a protection principle (the moon encompasses the earth in the same way as Saturn and its rings encompasses the solar system). Like the moon, Saturn rules a security/insecurity dialectic, but where the moon’s concerns the private, intimate aspects of the individual, Saturn influences social and collective security.

Saturn can be thought of as the polar opposite of the moon (the archetype of the mother, but also of the child, and therefore related to orality). The god Saturn ate his children in order to reign and thus, represents the archetype of the mother (motherhood), the grandmother, and the sage (wisdom). The domination of Saturn thus indicates a maternal complex or, at least, an issue related either to the biological mother or to the symbolism of motherhood. This influence may result in a problem of identity and difficulties in aging which will make themselves evident in personal crises at every passage of this planet, every seven years—thus at the age of 7, at 14 or 15, and 21, 28, etc.

Depending on the psychological context in which you are developing, you may overcome or overcompensate your identity complex and gradually acquire a strongly structured personality, or, conversely, remain in a state of immaturity which would probably be detrimental to your destiny.

Jupiter is the third dominant in Niall Horan’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Jupiter is the planet that rules expansion, growth, and abundance. So, it’s no surprise that this celestial body plays an important role in Niall’s astral chart. Jupiter’s placement in his chart reveals areas of his life where he experiences these things. For example, Jupiter in Niall’s chart might show that he is a gifted musician with a natural talent for performing. Alternatively, Jupiter might also indicate that Niall is a generous person who loves to help others.

In traditional astrology, Jupiter has always been considered as the Great Benefactor, the planet of luck and success such as personal fortune, social prominence, professional prestige, high political position. The Jupiterian bounty is peerless! In psychological terms, this planet has a much vaster significance. As the biggest planet in the solar system, it does preside over the process of personal expansion, interpreted to be fitting into society better and finding an appropriate match between one’s individual ambitions and the aspirations of the group.

This growth is accompanied by a feeling of self-confidence, which, in turn, buoys up an even greater externalization and expansion of the ego – hence the planet’s flattering reputation. But this snowball effect (Jupiter smiles and the world smiles with you), in which social skills magnify confidence and boldness reaps many rewards, betrays the negative side of Jupiter: extreme and excess.

Although grandeur was the characteristic of the “king of the gods,” errors of judgment, poor taste, and sometimes selfishness and pride are also likely to be part of the Jupiterian package. It is important to note that the extension of the ego may be a form of escape; it is tempting to hide behind one’s popularity and social success, which are fairly easy to obtain, rather than be really demanding with oneself. The Jupiterian has a tendency to amplify qualities out of compensation, to avoid seeing weaknesses and flaws. As a result, you must be aware of the risk of over-identifying with your social mask, which would cause you to neglect your inner self and deep nature.

The eleventh house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Niall Horan’s theme, because it contains several planets, including the one which rules his rising sign. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

Traditionally, this sector of the astral chart was related to the world of friendship. It thus reigns over friends, group projects and aspirations, publicity, politics in a humanitarian cause, customers, hope, help, and assistance. More specifically, this sector symbolizes the power and gratification society grants to Niall Horan in exchange for career activities. For each person, this power is a function of their capacity to work and produce something valuable to the community to which they belong (the country, corporation, etc.).

This power may either be used for selfish ends or be re-invested for the elaboration of more cooperative social projects.

From a psychological viewpoint, people with a prominent eleventh house in their birth chart may have to concentrate on being fair and objective in relation to social successes and/or failures. Success could entail efficient use of the power and prestige Niall Horan has already obtained for more significant projects which are in better harmony with their inner truth.

Failure, on the other hand, requires a detailed analysis of its causes. Any mistakes that may have been made are an opportunity for insight. The work of understanding and assuming one’s failures is a positive, constructive way out of a situation of failure.

The seventh house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Niall Horan’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

According to astrological tradition, the seventh house is related to marriage, contracts, social life, and worldly matters. It can be read for indications about a future marriage partner (the first), and business partners, your “objective allies” as well as your enemies.

Diametrically opposed to the Ascendant, the Descendant (the doorway into the seventh house) symbolizes everything that complements Niall Horan or opposes him. This house thus represents the encounter with the other world, the non-ego. By extension, it embodies all the experiences which result from this encounter: interpersonal relationships, partnerships, marriage, rivalry, contracts, and conflicts, etc.

When this area is especially significant, it indicates that a great deal of Niall Horan’s energy will be invested in the domain of relationships. Bonds, contracts, partnerships, and perhaps the disputes and conflicts which may arise from them will be prominent aspects of his success. However, he will evolve fastest and learn most from friendships and partnerships. He will have to learn to be objective.

Niall Horan’s goal will be to master the interdependency of his relationships, and go beyond a tender and dutiful reciprocity to a truly beneficial mutual exchange and sharing.

By making a distinction between love (the fifth house) and marriage (the seventh house), traditional astrology shows us the difference between the projection of narcissistic self-love (simple self-expression) and the objective encounter with the other on a truly egalitarian basis. To reach the seventh house from the fifth, it is necessary to travel through the sixth: a reorientation of personal energies.

The first house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Niall Horan’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
