The moon is the first dominant in Travis Barker’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

As the second light of the solar system, the moon has always been associated with the sun in the minds of men. The moon and sun are the primordial cosmic couple. This satellite of the earth, which mysteriously waxes and wanes, has been compared to the eternal feminine principle, the mother hovering over your infant’s cradle. Psychologically, the moon is thus symbolic of the mother and the mother image. This figure is a primordial element in the psyche of each individual. Depending on Travis Barker’s nature, the mother figure may correspond to his biological mother, a grandmother, or a woman who cared for him in infancy and childhood.

When Travis Barker reaches adulthood, this mother-figure and all the emotions and bonds associated with him may be transferred to something else: a spouse, a companion, an institution, a church, corporation, or political movement, a cult, etc. In short, any individual or structure likely to take on the mother’s duty of caring for and nurturing the vulnerable aspects of an individual.

To be more down-to-earth, the mother figure corresponds to the habits which were learned and then definitively incorporated into Travis Barker’s identity as he gradually became acculturated and progressed toward social independence. As a result, a strongly “lunar” personality often finds it difficult to adapt and is uncomfortable outside the secure setting of familiar routines.

Closely tied to his past, Travis Barker may be unwilling to detach himself from it and embark on his life as an individual in the here and now. Travis Barker still identifies somewhat with his inner child and may display a child’s capricious behavior, indulging in moodiness and indecision. His passivity may make him easily influenced, his sensitivity makes him subjective, and he hesitates to open up and lay his soul bare. In his daily life, psychic activity will rule. His imagination, memory, sensitivity, sensation, and sentiment nearly overwhelm his psyche.

Jupiter is the second dominant in Travis Barker’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Travis Barker’s Jupiter placement indicates that he is an optimistic and generous person. He is always looking for new opportunities and is quick to take advantage of them. He is also very lucky, which has led to him being successful in many areas of his life.

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, I must be aware of the risk of over-identifying with my social mask, which would cause me to neglect my inner self and deep nature.

Mars is the third dominant in Travis Barker’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Mars is the planet of energy, action, and desire. As the third dominant in Travis Barker’s astral chart, it indicates that he is a dynamic and passionate person. He is always on the go, and is always up for a challenge. He is also a very sexual person, and has a strong libido.

In the Greek tradition, Mars or Aries was the god of war. Traditional astrology associates him with the element fire, the color red, and the taste of bitterness. Although it also symbolizes the elder brother in the cosmic family, it is more likely to be associated with declared enemies or adversaries. Martian morphology is typically virile, angular, and athletic and corresponds to aggressive, domineering, masculine behavior. Likewise, Mars is usually associated with rage, its resultant brutality, and male destructiveness and domination.

Psychologically, Mars figures in any situation of conflict, opposition, and confrontation. Martian symbolism intervenes to separate, oppose, and decide and corresponds to duels, war, and any situation in real life which involves confronting an obstacle. Individuals who are greatly influenced by Mars are typically direct and straightforward—either unabashedly extroverted or furiously introverted. They are extremely active and extremely emotive. Their purpose in life seems to be inextricably mingled with a combat against an unacceptable situation, a challenge which they either issue or are forced to accept.

The tenth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Travis Barker’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 part of the sky chart was related to profession, ambition, power, honors and recognition, and eminence. Metaphorically, it was also related to the father, the law, the spinal column, etc.

The North Node, the gateway into the tenth house, corresponds to the vertical line connecting the zenith to the nadir. The North Node can be opposed to its partner, the South Node, the lowest point on the map of the sky. As the highest point, it symbolizes Barker’s elevation, Barker’s social position.

Barker is sure to derive some power from Barker’s social eminence, such as money, prestige, or privilege, but Barker also has duties to fulfill. When this area is the site of significant activity, it does not mean that Barker will automatically have a high social eminence. It means that Barker will invest a great deal of energy in acquiring a form of social power.

Because the energy is somewhat vague, Barker will have to become aware of the various desires, needs, and ideals which are motivating and inspiring Barker. As a result, Barker will probably become conscious of how closely Barker’s social destiny is linked to Barker’s family’s reputation. Indeed, all Barker can give society is what Barker has managed to make of Barker from the raw material Barker received from Barker’s background.

When the tenth house is especially significant, it means that the use of power deriving from social rank is problematic for Barker. Barker’s attitude toward both accomplishment and failure may be somewhat obtuse. As a result, Barker should always be asking Barker why Barker aspires to a certain career or profession, what Barker’s learning is worth, what meaning Barker want to give Barker’s relationship with society, what Barker is ready to give of Barker, and what Barker want from society in exchange.

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