In astrology, a stellium is a concentration of three or more planets in the same zodiac sign or the same astrological house. Some astrologers consider a stellium to be four or more planets, but three is the more common definition when looking at sign-based stelliums. The planets involved in a stellium work together, their energies blend, and the sign or house they occupy becomes a very significant area of focus and activity in the individual's life or chart being examined. Our find my stellium calculator helps you easily identify these clusters based on zodiac sign placement.

The presence of a stellium suggests a powerful emphasis on the themes associated with that particular sign or house. Individuals with a stellium often exhibit strong traits of that sign or find that the life areas governed by that house are particularly active or important. For example, a stellium in Libra might indicate a strong focus on relationships, harmony, and justice, while a stellium in the 10th house could point to a life heavily centered around career and public image. The find my stellium calculator is a great starting point for discovering such concentrations.

Who Should Use the Find My Stellium Calculator?

Anyone interested in astrology and understanding their birth chart better can use the find my stellium calculator. It's particularly useful for:

• Astrology beginners learning about chart patterns.
• Individuals curious about specific areas of emphasis in their lives.
• Astrologers looking for a quick tool to check for sign-based stelliums.

While our calculator focuses on sign-based stelliums, remember that house-based stelliums are also very important and require accurate birth time and location for house system calculations (like Placidus, Koch, etc.). You can find more about house systems on our houses in astrology page.

Common Misconceptions

One common misconception is that a stellium is inherently "good" or "bad." A stellium is simply an area of concentrated energy. How this energy manifests depends on the planets involved, the sign/house, the aspects these planets make to others, and the individual's consciousness and choices. Another misconception is that only personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) count towards a stellium. While their influence is more personal, outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) are also included when identifying a stellium with a find my stellium calculator.

Stellium Formula and Astrological Explanation

The find my stellium calculator determines sign-based stelliums by following these steps:

1. Input Degrees: You provide the zodiacal longitude (degrees 0-359.99) for each planet you want to consider.
2. Degree to Sign Conversion: Each degree is converted into its corresponding zodiac sign. The zodiac is divided into 12 signs, each spanning 30 degrees:
   • 0-29.99 degrees: Aries
   • 30-59.99 degrees: Taurus
   • 60-89.99 degrees: Gemini
   • 90-119.99 degrees: Cancer
   • 120-149.99 degrees: Leo
   • 150-179.99 degrees: Virgo
   • 180-209.99 degrees: Libra
   • 210-239.99 degrees: Scorpio
   • 240-269.99 degrees: Sagittarius
   • 270-299.99 degrees: Capricorn
   • 300-329.99 degrees: Aquarius
   • 330-359.99 degrees: Pisces
3. Counting Planets per Sign: The calculator counts how many of the entered planets fall into each of the 12 zodiac signs.
4. Identifying Stelliums: If any sign contains three or more planets, a stellium is identified in that sign. The calculator reports the sign(s) containing the stellium and the planets involved.

Variables Table

Zodiac Sign	One of the 12 astrological signs	Name	Aries to Pisces
Stellium Threshold	Minimum number of planets in a sign to be called a stellium	Count	3 (or 4 by some definitions)

Practical Examples (Real-World Use Cases)

Example 1: Stellium in Capricorn

Let's say a person has the following planetary positions:

• Sun: 275 degrees (Capricorn)
• Moon: 15 degrees (Aries)
• Mercury: 280 degrees (Capricorn)
• Venus: 295 degrees (Capricorn)
• Mars: 120 degrees (Leo)
• Jupiter: 200 degrees (Libra)
• Saturn: 50 degrees (Taurus)

Using the find my stellium calculator, we input these degrees. The calculator converts them: Sun, Mercury, and Venus are all in Capricorn. Since there are three planets in Capricorn, the calculator would report a stellium in Capricorn involving the Sun, Mercury, and Venus. This suggests a strong focus on ambition, discipline, structure, and worldly achievement for this individual.

Example 2: Multiple Planets, No Sign Stellium

Consider another person:

• Sun: 5 degrees (Aries)
• Moon: 35 degrees (Taurus)
• Mercury: 28 degrees (Aries)
• Venus: 62 degrees (Gemini)
• Mars: 95 degrees (Cancer)
• Jupiter: 125 degrees (Leo)
• Saturn: 155 degrees (Virgo)

The find my stellium calculator shows two planets in Aries (Sun, Mercury), but no sign has three or more. Therefore, there's no sign-based stellium according to the 3-planet rule, even though there's a close conjunction of Sun and Mercury. However, if Venus was at 25 degrees instead of 62, there would be a 3-planet stellium in Aries.

How to Use This Find My Stellium Calculator

1. Enter Planetary Degrees: Input the zodiacal degree (0-359.99) for each planet listed. You can find these from an ephemeris or your birth chart calculation from a tool like our birth chart calculator.
2. Check Results: As you enter values, the "Results" section will update automatically. The "Primary Result" will tell you if any stelliums are found and where.
3. Review Intermediate Values: The "Intermediate Results" will list the signs with stelliums, the planets involved, and the total count of planets in each sign.
4. Examine the Table and Chart: The "Planetary Positions" table shows each planet and its calculated zodiac sign. The "Planets per Zodiac Sign" chart visually represents the distribution.
5. Interpret: If a stellium is found, it highlights a sign (and its associated themes) that is strongly emphasized in the chart.
6. Reset or Copy: Use the "Reset" button to clear inputs or "Copy Results" to copy the findings.

Understanding a stellium gives insight into areas of life that may be very active, focused, or where one's energy is naturally concentrated. If you find a stellium, research the meaning of the sign and the planets involved to understand its potential expression.

Key Factors That Affect Stellium Results

• Number of Planets Considered: Our find my stellium calculator includes Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Some astrologers might also include asteroids or other points, which could change the count.
• Stellium Definition (3 or 4+ planets): We use the 3+ planet rule. If you prefer the 4+ rule, look for counts of 4 or more in the results.
• Sign vs. House Stelliums: This calculator focuses on sign-based stelliums. House-based stelliums depend on the house system used (e.g., Placidus, Whole Sign) and require accurate birth time and location.
• Orb of Conjunction: While we focus on signs, a very tight cluster of planets (e.g., within 8-10 degrees) across sign boundaries might also be considered a stellium by conjunction by some. Our tool looks strictly within sign boundaries (0-30, 30-60, etc.).
• Accuracy of Planetary Degrees: The input degrees must be accurate. Use a reliable source for your planetary positions.
• Inclusion of Ascendant/MC: We show AC and MC and their signs, but they don't count towards the *planetary* stellium count in this basic calculator. Some might consider planets conjunct the AC or MC as part of a stellium involving those angles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What if I don't know the exact degrees of my planets? A: You need the degrees to use this find my stellium calculator accurately. You can get them from a free online birth chart service or an astrologer, providing your date, time, and place of birth.

Q: Does the Ascendant (AC) or Midheaven (MC) count towards a stellium? A: Typically, a stellium refers to a group of planets. While planets conjunct the AC or MC are significant, the AC and MC themselves are angles, not planets, and are usually not counted *in* a planetary stellium, though a stellium can occur *around* them.

Q: What if I have planets very close together but in different signs? A: This is a conjunction across signs. Our calculator looks for stelliums *within* one sign. However, a tight conjunction of 3+ planets, even across signs (e.g., 29° Aries and 1° Taurus), is very significant and acts like a stellium by conjunction.

Q: Is it rare to have a stellium? A: It's relatively common to have three planets in the same sign, especially when considering the slower-moving outer planets that can stay in one sign for years. Stelliums of four or more planets are less common but not extremely rare.

Q: How do I interpret a stellium? A: A stellium intensely focuses energy on the sign (and house, if known) it occupies. Research the qualities of the sign and the nature of the planets involved. For example, a stellium in Gemini suggests a life very focused on communication, learning, and variety. Look into zodiac sign meanings.

Q: Can a stellium be in more than one sign? A: A single stellium, by definition of being in *the same* sign or house, is in one sign/house. However, you could have two separate stelliums in different signs/houses in your chart.

Q: Does this calculator consider houses? A: No, this find my stellium calculator specifically looks for sign-based stelliums based on the degrees you enter. Calculating houses requires birth time and location and a house system, which is more complex.

Q: What if I enter degrees greater than 359.99? A: The calculator will flag it as an error, as zodiacal degrees range from 0 to 359.99.
