Pluto is heavy in the chart, in its domain and most aspects form are involving Pluto.

I can't figure out how to interperate this, or if this is even a stellium, I'm not sure if they have to be within 5 deg. of one point. or within 5 deg. of each other.

Good question. James Wilson simply defines a stellium as a crowd of four or five planets.Fred Gettings allows them in one sign,in one house or even in an arc of less than 30 degrees. I don't know where he got that from but he wrote about a famous mundane stellium in medieval times.

Maybe we need to define this term in another thread.

Well, there IS a stellium in Sagittarius. I was always under the impression that a stellium requires at least three planets in the same sign.

What the 8th house in your chart *does* contain, is a cluster. This puts a heavy focus on 8th house matters. Looks like the chart of a tycoon, to me, with 2nd ruler Sun conjunct Jupiter! Can I have some? :lol:
