    Hi Renee,
    
    Stelliums are created when you have 3 or more planets in close contact
    within the same sign and/or within the same house.  Not all the planets
    have to be within a conjunction, however, nor do they have to be in the
    same sign or within the same house.  Here is an example:
    
    	Sun at 28 Virgo in the 4th House              5th House Cusp -
        Mercury at 4 Libra in the 5th House             2 Libra
        Venus at 6 Libra in the 5th House
        Jupiter at 10 Libra in the 5th House
        Mars at 22 Libra in the 5th House
    
    You have Sun conjunct Mercury and Venus but not conjunct Jupiter.
    
    You have Mercury conjunct Sun, Venus and Jupiter.
    
    You have Venus conjunct Sun, Mercury and Jupiter.
    
    Mars is not conjunct any of the planets, however it would be considered 
    as an influence in the Libra/5th house stellium.
    
    A stellium adds extra focus to the sign and house archetypes in which
    it resides, and would play a major role in your life.  Friends would be
    very important to you, as well as group endeavors.  You are probably
    keenly attuned to group consciousness as well, and probably pick up 
    information through your physical body.  Working with groups of people
    in innovative, transformative ways would be a good way to utilize this
    energy.  Perhaps even focusing it towards earth healings through group
    endeavors.  The friends you have and groups you participate in are
    probably non-conformists and uniquely individual, and will bring much
    change and transformation to you.
    
    Areas I would highlight that may need some personal, inner work are:
    
     . being overly critical and expecting perfection in your
       relationships/friendships.
    
     . being very mentally focused and overly analytical.
    
     . obsessing about detail.
    
     . detaching emotionally.
    
    
    Hope this helps.
    
    Carole
