What Is Stellium in Astrology?
Also known as: Planetary Cluster
Quick Definition
Three or more planets clustered in the same zodiac sign or house in a birth chart, creating concentrated energy.
Stellium: In-Depth Explanation
A stellium occurs when three or more planets (some astrologers say four) occupy the same sign or house in a natal chart. This creates an intense concentration of energy in that sign's qualities or that house's life area. Someone with a stellium in Scorpio, for example, will have an extremely intense, transformative personality. A stellium in the 10th house suggests career will dominate their life focus. Stelliums make certain themes impossible to ignore in a person's life.
