The Structure and Intent of Your Life.There are four items of general interest that we want to take up here in Section I: A) Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis, B) Elements and Modes, C) The Ascendant and Midheaven, and D) The Conjunctions. These four categories give us an intelligent overview of how you structure personal experience and what you aim for in life. This general patterning gives us a context to understand the specific personal meaning of the material in Sections 2 through 11. A. Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis The different areas of life are laid out in the horoscope by spatial territories called houses. These areas of life show interests and general involvements for each person. These areas can be grouped together for a vast overview of most basic inclinations of the person. The most useful general groupings of houses is into hemispheres and quadrants. Emphasis in a hemisphere or quadrant shows a particularly strong focus toward life from that perspective. 1. Hemisphere The horoscope can be split into 2 equal parts, either horizontally (giving us the upper and lower hemispheres) or vertically (giving us the right and left hemispheres). The Upper Hemisphere shows the outer, more extroverted side of the personality, the Lower Hemisphere shows the more introverted and hidden side of the personality. In the Left Hemisphere planets are rising and this shows action. In the Right Hemisphere planets are setting and this shows reaction. Most planets Below the Horizon You have the majority of your planets below the horizon showing that you need time each day in isolation in order to recharge your batteries. You have a personal approach to life, preferring to work with people more than things and needing contact with the familiar in order to feel secure. Most Planets Rising You have the majority of your planets on the eastern half (or left-hand side) of your chart showing that you take great pains to be sure that you are free to act as you wish in life. Freedom of movement and expression are important to you. You have a strong feeling that you make your own destiny. 2. Quadrant The two ways of splitting the horoscope into hemispheres can be applied simultaneously giving us four quadrants. The FIRST is called the quadrant of personality. The SECOND is called the quadrant of the environment. The THIRD is called the quadrant of relationship. The FOURTH is called the quadrant of service. No Quadrant Emphasis You tend to diversify your energy and attention to several different areas of life. You may have difficulties in achieving your goals in life until you order your priorities. You can be a master at balancing many different aspects of life when you learn to use your time wisely. Avoid letting your mind dwell on projects you are not immediately engaged in. Keep your attention in the here and now and your life becomes much simpler. B. Elements and Modes The Elements and Modes show what we aim for in life. They show our broadest focus and in the most general sense, how we go about achieving our goals. 1. Elements The four elements (fire, earth, air and water) are the most comprehensive inventory of the personality that we have. Everything in the universe including the human personality can be examined in terms of the four elements. FIRE is your basic enthusiastic urge, EARTH shows your concern for the material world, AIR is the element of abstract thought, WATER is your empathy impulse. Fire and earth are primitive and focus on the self. Air and water are derivative and focused on others. Fire and air are naturally extrovert, optimistic, active, and freedom oriented. Earth and water are basically introvert, pessimistic, passive, and security oriented. Fire Uranus is your only fire planet. You have 10% of your chart in fire. You struggle to sustain your energy and enthusiasm for projects that you become involved in. Usually, your desire for freedom and uniqueness is the spontaneous force that brings you into a personal project. There is always a danger you can get more projects going than you can complete. Your worldly success is helped along as your learn to deal with your own unique sense of timing. Earth You have an abundance of earth in your chart showing that you are a cautious and thorough person. You build material security in life. If, for any reason, this isn't happening you feel miserable. This can point to a problem of valuing the wrong things in life and chasing empty dreams. Ask yourself how much you really need and let it go at that. You can be an earnest and hard working person if over-acquisitiveness doesn't blind you. Air You have no air in your chart. This shows that you spend little or no time thinking about abstract issues. You go straight to the "bottom line". It often appears to people that you come up with an answer to a question without any intermediate reasoning process. You do need to be careful that you don't act before you think, but the truth of the matter is that you just don't need to go through a slow, logical process. You need to be sure that your style of action does not offend people you wish to be close to. You may seem to lack diplomacy but this doesn't mean you are lacking in interest in people or that you don't care about others. Water You have 20% of your chart in the water element. You work hard during this life to develop your emotions. You have lots of opportunity to work on your feelings. Your sense of emotional inadequacy drives you to express your feelings more. The outward appearance of caring substitutes for real concern while you are young; true empathy develops later in life. 2. Modes The three modes are CARDINAL, FIXED, and MUTABLE. The modes of expression show how you act out your urges in the world. They represent your most basic responding mechanism toward all of life experience. The cardinal planets show direct expression in physical action, leadership ability and strength. The fixed mode planets in your chart show reaction, consistency, persistency, endurance and stubbornness. The mutable planets in your chart show synthesis, blending, malleableness, thought, forethought, debate and wisdom. The following statements show the way the three modes manifest in your life. Cardinal You have 20% of your chart in the cardinal mode showing that you are capable of both leading and following. You know how to assert your point of view or execute someone else's. Your preference is to follow someone else's lead and embark on your own path only when you feel it is necessary. Fixed A tremendous amount of your chart is in the fixed mode. You have endurance. Whether a course of action is good or bad you are more likely to stay with it than change. The principle of inertia is with you. When you rest, you have real difficulty getting going. When you are in motion, you have real difficulty stopping or even changing directions (even slightly). People find you a loyal friend and a tenacious enemy. Mutable You have 30% of your chart in the mutable mode. Adjustment to new circumstances is relatively easy for you. Part of your nature is very stimulated by change. You like to think about your experiences so as to accommodate any new information that occurs. This is not your only way of being but your favorite mode of operation can be reactive. Exposure to new ideas and methods can help you be calmer while still helping you maintain interest in life. C. The Ascendant and Midheaven (Signs and Aspects) 1. The Ascendant The ascendant is symbolic of our relationship to our immediate environment. This is the point rising in the east when we are born. One manifestation of our immediate environment is our physical body. The physical environment includes our body, our surroundings and our emotional and mental states. Thus, the ascendant tells us how our inner core expresses itself, and how we take in information from others and the universe generally. The sign rising in your horoscope tells us the type of energy you are processing, the type of physical body that you have for doing the processing and the natural inclinations you have in the personal arena in life. The planets in aspect to your ascendant tell us the kind of energy and stamina you have as natural allies in life. The ascendant is opposite the seventh house cusp (the place where we meet others and the world). This axis (ascendant-decendant) is how we clarify ourselves through relationships. Planets in aspect to this axis indicate the types of people and the types of relationships we seek as well as how and why we seek them. LEO RISING You have a strong, fixed, and sunny projection of yourself into your environment. You can be very openhearted and very kind to others but for all your optimism and openness you can suffer from narrow self-interest and have difficulty seeing larger issues than circumstances in your own life. Freedom and immediate pleasure keep your attention in the moment but your self-concern and a stubborn quality can stop you from achieving as much as you would like in life. Everyone seems to genuinely like you; despite this fact very few people ever get really close, as your aura of self sufficiency keeps you distant. You identify a lot with how your relationships go in life. Still, it is usually more positive for you to directly and personally express the artistic and creative side of your nature rather than have this flair for the dramatic emerge in the interactive arena, where it has the tendency to create chaos. However, regardless of the difficulties, you do always "land on your feet". Your environment and relationships will always emanate a basic sense of good taste regardless of how high or how humble your surroundings. Sun Square the Ascendant You have a powerful and shining exterior that others find quite attractive. People come into your life and are happy to know you. Still, you are a hard person to get close to because you have some personal inner conflicts that emerge in all of your relationships. You use your interactions with others to see and work on your inner conflicts. This is a very constructive process of growth through self-expression in connection with others, but it is not always comfortable. You get happier as you get less willful. Mercury Square the Ascendant You like people and ideas but your manner of expression can put others off or create misunderstanding. Tolerance of other people's point of view is the beginning of having others understand you better. You express your opinions with so much force that others take issue with your ideas. You learn from argument and disagreement. But remember, a good idea that is expressed in a confrontational manner may not get a fair hearing. Understatement is usually more helpful than overstatement. Diplomacy begins by listening to others. Venus Square the Ascendant Art and beauty are important to you. These ingredients will be important to many people that you find as significant in your life. Still, it is easy for you to find yourself in an adversarial position with others as you will often disagree over matters of taste and style. Many lessons in life are learned as you are exposed to people with different tastes than your own. Your opportunities to grow are massive if you keep reaching for a higher synthesis. Mars Sesquiquadrate the Ascendant You get flashes of energy that can carry you away from your basic goals and tasks in life. You sometimes find unique solutions for long standing conflicts and are able to bring about rapid change. Your ability to stay with a project, quite often surprised others. Your vitality and temperament have an underlying erratic tone. Life isn't always easy but it is very exciting. Physical exercise is very helpful in feeling happy. Uranus Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 1st House and afflicted. You have an unusual physical appearance that some people will find to be too strange. Your hair will have at least one streak of a different color in it from a young age. Your erratic behavior makes it hard for you to connect with other people in a meaningful way. You need to find safe ways of expressing your uniqueness that doesn't preclude others' participation in your life. Your desire for freedom is so strong that regularity and predictability are foreign to your life. Your life improves when you learn to avoid extremes. Neptune Square the Ascendant You may not be able to prevent your being deceived by others, but you can strive to make sure that you don't do this to anyone else. Your ideals, your distaste for the unpleasant, coupled with your imaginative embellishments in life can add up to difficulties with people. It can be that you misappropriated some unrealistic ideals in your childhood that have tended to color your perception of the world since then. Your love of beauty will need some expression and you need some involvement with the arts and the culture as a whole in order for you to have solid and fulfilling emotional release. Learn more and more to see the world and its people as they are, not only as they could be. 2. The Midheaven The Midheaven is the high point in your chart. It indicates what you aspire for, what you see as your duty, and what authority and limits are about. Because of this basic meaning the Midheaven indicates how you live out your social station and what you do for your career. The point opposite the Midheaven is the fourth house cusp, referred to as the nadir, which is the indication of our roots, our heritage. This axis (Midheaven-Nadir) indicates the way we grow in life. The sign on the Midheaven shows our basic energy and approach toward dealing with the world. Planets in aspect to the Midheaven show qualities of our inner being that we wish to contribute to the world and that we wish to be fulfilled through our interaction with the outer world. ARIES MIDHEAVEN You are quick to start projects. You may not have a lot of follow-through. Basically, career supplies you with an emotional arena. You are quick and like being first. If you have staying power in your career, success comes to you. Moon Trine Midheaven You are good with people. You know instinctively what will please others and what will be problematic. After you have become comfortable with yourself and your own ways, you are at home in the general public. Mercury Conjunct Midheaven and in the 10th House and unafflicted. You use your language skills to make your way in career. Both your communication ability and your versatility help you rise in life. You like movement and mental involvement to accomplish a job. You are good at getting your point across but experience disappointment if others don't appreciate your efforts. Venus Conjunct Midheaven and in the 10th House and unafflicted. You like beauty. You are most productive in career when you are working with women, art and music, and situations that create harmony. You like doing things that promote peace and understanding. Mars Semi-Sextile the Midheaven Your energy and desires are strong but not easily expressed. It takes work for you to learn mechanisms for getting what is inside of you to the surface of life. You would like to be the master of your own fate but must submit to others' authority for some time while you are learning about creating meaningful structures and procedures. Once this is accomplished you grow in independence and personal expression. Jupiter Trine Midheaven You are lucky in landing a new job and in carrying out a job you already have. You are aided in career by your sense of confidence and your administrative skills. You are a natural salesperson and you have progressive management skills. Neptune Opposing Midheaven and in the 4th House and unafflicted. You have a deep psychic reservoir of information. If you live near a large body of water or in a primitive environment you may find the inner side of your nature has an easier time making itself available to your conscious mind. Your psychic impressions about people are often quite accurate. Pluto Trine Midheaven Computers, math, psychology and working with symbols can be important on your job. You like digging out secrets and can be very well suited for research. You have strength of character that makes you a difficult person to oppose. D. The Conjunctions. A Conjunction occurs when two planets are in the same immediate area of the Zodiac. The conjunctions in your chart show central linkings of basic energies in your life. When one area (represented by a planet) expresses itself, it brings along the other area (represented by the other planet). When you are studying the rest of this printout of your life, keep in mind that linking of these energies is a central theme in your life and these areas should be studied together. Moon Conjunct Pluto Think of Sections III. THE MOON - Your personal life, and XI. PLUTO -Your need for fundamental change, as a single unit. This Conjunction colors your unconscious habits and your basic attitude toward life. This is an extremely important ingredient of your identity and represents a primary attribute of your personality. Mercury Conjunct Venus Think of Sections IV. MERCURY - Your mental life, and V. VENUS -Your love nature, as a single unit. This Conjunction is a central indicator of the way you interact with people and your environment. SECTION II. The SUN - Your Ego StructureThe Sun is the center of the solar system. All life revolves around it within this sphere. In the same way, the ego is the center of personal identity and gives integration and continuity to individual experience. In this sense, it might be said that the Sun shows character. This is the fixed pillar at the center of the person around which all else circulates or revolves. The sign placement of the Sun shows the center of the individual's basic character. The sign of the Sun is the most primary indicator of the forms of experience you are attracted to. Further, this most important placement shows how and why you are attracted to these experiences. The house placement of the Sun sign shows the primary area of expression for the individual in life. There is a psychological, emotional, and physical significance to the house placement of the Sun. Aspects to the Sun show ways that the core of the personality are linked to other component elements in the individual's life. Aspects to the Sun have a deep and overriding significance in the life of the individual and are generally more important, more prominent than other aspects in the chart. SUN IN TAURUS You have a strong sense of how much something is worth. You value security and will seldom be willing to trade it for adventure. You have an innate understanding of the principles of amassment. You seek to build something of lasting consequence. You are not necessarily quick but you do have staying power. Often, you establish yourself in life through sheer endurance. At rock bottom, you are solid and rather conservative. You have a preference for the way things have been. When you learn to adapt to changing circumstances your life improves. Sun in 10th house You are achievement oriented. You have a natural expectation that positions of power, authority and responsibility should come to you. You receive help in your climb in life from people further up the hill. You will be well known in your immediate circle and that may transport out to a larger world picture. Sun in 10th house Unafflicted You are surefooted and advancement comes to you naturally. Others not only recognize you but generally like you. You are responsible and competent so your success is fairly secure in your chosen field. SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER You are lucky, but suffer from the tendency to "overplay your hand". You feel lucky and justified in the good coming to you. Your optimism easily becomes opportunism. Your life improves when you insist on "earning your own way". Pride will sometimes block your vision. Conceit leads you to wrong choices. Try being more empirical and less superstitious. Learning comes naturally and when you translate this quality into learning about yourself, life gets better in many ways. Strive for integrity when you catch yourself being overly pompous. SUN SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR JUPITER You build an empire of self-esteem, confidence and promises, only to see it swept away by one poor decision. This happens when you reach for too much. Your life is a constant adventure. Dramatic ups and downs can be counteracted by finding your limits in safe ways. SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN You are self-disciplined and self-aware. You are ambitious and are willing to work hard to put your vision into action. Your naturally conservative instincts lead on a safe and sure path although it may well be a slow one. Being basically of sound judgment and reliable, people tend to trust you; these qualities alone may put you in a position of leadership at some point. SUN TRINE YOUR SATURN Your upbringing, family, and personal history lead you to expect the good in life. Your lofty expectations underlie the "lucky breaks" that come to you. Your personality has a cautious, serious, and disciplined ingredient that supports your vision of life which is practical and specific but also limited. Your productivity is linked to your instinct for finding the "law of gravity" operating through the center of any project. SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS You have a strong will, an abrupt manner, and a highly original form of self-expression. You need to be careful that your basically iconoclastic nature doesn't end up separating you artificially from others. Your need for freedom, independence, and uniqueness plays havoc with your life in youth but becomes more a force for progressive change as you get older. You love the dramatic and are a true romantic. You have a major lesson in life: to gain freedom through responsibility rather than freedom from responsibility. Once learned, relationships and projects become much more stable. SUN SQUARE YOUR URANUS You are stubborn and rebellious with a powerful drive for personal freedom at all cost. You are quite creative but unstable. The adventuresome spirit is always part of your nature, but your iconoclastic spirit mellows into humanitarianism as you age. Your thirst for new experiences can have you leaping from situation to situation until you become disciplined. SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE You have a deeply secretive side to your nature. You are romantic, humanitarian and idealistic. You suffer from an excess of emotion and exaggerated sensitivity to anything that goes wrong in life. Unfortunately, something going wrong can mean merely that it didn't live up to your expectations which can be quite inflated. Your life becomes a dynamic, unstoppable force for good once you accomplish two things: one, you must become self disciplined (i.e. ascetic) enough that you overcome self-indulgence in every form, and two, you must know life by knowing, really knowing, yourself. SUN OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE Overly emotional and often confused, you need grounding for your idealism to avoid difficulties regarding commitments, responsibilities, and expectations. You have high standards and high expectations but it takes a large amount of self-work to become more than a dreamy well wisher in the parade of life. Emotional balance and genuine self knowledge come with great difficulty but are necessary prerequisite for manifesting your spiritual and creative potential. You tend to live in a fantasy realm, full of romantic illusion. You easily attribute to others, the latent unexpress qualities of your own being. SECTION III. The MOON - Your Personal Life.The Moon inscribes a circle around the earth. It moves more swiftly than other astronomical bodies and thus represents day to day and moment to moment movements, adjustments and preoccupations. The Moon is the symbol of the personal life which is molded and shaped by our environment, by events, and by social and familial expectations. Further, the Moon shows our responses to life which are based on our past habits, experiences, our heritage and our individual and collective cravings. The sign placement of the Moon shows how you project yourself to the general public, how the instinctive and imaginative component of your mind operates, how you express your feelings and your most general experiences of your family and mother. The house placement of the Moon shows how and where you make day to day adjustments. Further, it shows the things you are most interested in dealing with in order to gain emotional equilibrium. The aspects of the Moon show the general characteristics of the personality that are emphasized. Planets in aspect to the Moon are symbolic of qualities in the personality that are used instinctively, habitually and with a high degree of versatility. MOON IN VIRGO You are analytical, critical and technical. You have a habit of getting into the "nuts and bolts" of a job, right away. You know how to make yourself useful. You like to render service and are good with detail. In matters of the heart you can be cold and aloof with a tendency to hold yourself back. When things don't work out for you, try not to blame anyone else. Next, try not to even blame yourself. You are practical and know how to get things done. All the industriousness in the world can't bring you happiness though. You must relax to love. Moon in 2nd house You have an emotional need to know that the bills are paid. You have some fears connected with lack and you will attempt to create some material security as a guard against worry. Your natural instinctive pattern in life tends to be along cautious, conservative lines. Moon in 2nd house Unafflicted Money and material possessions come and go in life but somehow you always manage to have a "nest egg" tucked away. Your attachment to the past can manifest best through your ability to remember the positive qualities of others. MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MERCURY You are intelligent with a good grasp of meanings and a good memory. You adjust easily to changing circumstances, draw quick generalizations and can communicate your findings to the public. You learn new things easily. You are able to expand and build on what you learn because you have a good imagination. MOON TRINE YOUR MERCURY Quick-witted and multifaceted, your mind and hands move from one thing to another with great dexterity. Your mind moves swiftly to the point and you can easily turn the right phrase to cast the current situation in the right light. You excel in any field where intelligence and communication skills are helpful. Your instincts are usually correct and in step with public sentiment. MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR VENUS You have a naturally pleasing manner. You seem to know what people expect and how to present yourself. Women often play a key role in your life because you really understand them instinctively. You are a gentle person preferring diplomacy to confrontation. Your grace and elegance puts others at ease. MOON TRINE YOUR VENUS You are materially well off and very used to having the finer things in life. This refined taste of yours is especially evident with your choice of personal adornments and home furnishings. You are able to make some happiness emerge from any relationship, thus you are popular and have a good public image and are physically attractive. You are usually quite happy in marriage. MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER You are religious, dignified with a sense of justice which gives you a public image of being honorable and trustworthy. You are well liked and successful. You have a strong moral sense and are willing to take a stand on your beliefs. The good comes to you in life. MOON TRINE YOUR JUPITER Faith in life and basic, conservative instincts gives you position and prominence in your social circle. Others support you publicly and you are an inspiration to them. The public generally holds certain values as obvious truths. You subtly and instinctively reinforce the values and basic beliefs that power the decisions in most people's lives. Thus, you create a feeling in others that you are "one of us". You make the right choices. Your character seems trustworthy to others and you seldom disappoint them. MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN You are outwardly successful in life even though you have to go through some inner pain in your personal life. Your greatest virtue is that you do learn from your mistakes. You correct your own actions and go on. Your life may have several low points while you are reorganizing after a setback. You will be hard-pressed to sort out your true responsibilities and may find the day to day planning of your time to be quite challenging. MOON SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR SATURN Doubt of self and fear of failure make life worrisome, but life is easier when you accept that you have periodic interruptions in your path to success as well as changes in direction every so often. These aren't comfortable but all part of the process. MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE You have a deep and abiding connection with music and art. When you are upset or feeling unbalanced; you can gain a sense of peace through music, meditation, and isolation. You are a sensitive and creative soul. As long as you are not too passive, your life has the good fortune to unfold along the path of least resistance. (Becoming too passive can mean stagnation). You are idealistic and believe the best about people. This is good and helps people, but remember to concentrate on people as they are, and not just what they might become. A lofty potential is always there but might not ever manifest. MOON SEXTILE YOUR NEPTUNE A certain fluency with people and events gives you an ease in self expression. Grace and charm are part of your personality and you inspire others in barely perceivable and undefined ways. You are highly intuitive and deeply affected by other peoples' moods, feelings and responses. MOON CONJUNCT PLUTO Your emotions guide your life and operate at the extremes running the gambit from boiling to frigid. You are either on or off. Handling your feelings may well be the key to this life for you. You are basically curious about everything. When you find your life dull and boring, it is because you have the blinders on. Reach into your depths and you will find hidden fears and responses to past hurts have closed you off from life. Let your past die and you are free once more. When you direct your powers of perception back towards the outer world, you find that you are capable of working in the greatest of abstract realms. You are naturally good with anything involving symbols, mysteries, secrets and research. SECTION IV. MERCURY - Your Mental Life.Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. From the viewpoint of the earth it seems to dart back and forth across the face of the Sun, having three retrograde cycles a year. Mercury is the planet of your mental life. It shows how you receive, process and disseminate information. The sign placement of Mercury shows your basic attitude and mental habits. The aspects of Mercury show your scope of vision and your methods for accomplishing tasks. MERCURY IN TAURUS Your mind is conventional and determined. Your basic thrust is toward the practical. You wish to be thorough but sometimes your slow, intuitive approach misses some key ingredients that move in a more subtle realm. However, when something is registered once with you, you really have it. You express yourself with great determination. You are often balanced between a desire for diplomacy and a tendency to be fairly entrenched in your own perceptions. You have a keenly practical picture of the world and take great pleasure in the feel, taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound of things. Because your perceptions move so close to the earth itself, your mind can lack flexibility. After all, the law of gravity doesn't allow much variation. Things are what they are. Adjustment to things beyond your control is difficult. You would rather ignore something that doesn't fit your perceptions or "dig in" for a fight. Mercury in 10th house You are able to apply knowledge in a very practical way. You may be able to turn you skill with language into literary talent. Your mental versatility and general adaptableness may bring you several changes in employment. Mercury in 10th house Unafflicted Your knowledge of language and of the world are a positive asset to having an exciting and fulfilling career in life. You have a natural instinct for dealing with authority figures and situations that require you to take control. MERCURY IN ASPECT TO THE MOON This indicates that you have a very personal, feeling mind. You have a very close personal use for your mental life. The details of this connection were discussed in Section III. The Moon -Your personal life. MERCURY CONJUNCT VENUS You have a certain charm and graciousness in your manner of expression. You have an artistic sense which can come out as beautiful penmanship. People like you and will often seek you out. You, in turn, are good at helping others express themselves. You are courteous, diplomatic, and good at paraphrasing because you have an overview that comes from a multifaceted perspective. MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER You are propelled in life by a deep desire to experience and then convey the truth. You have common sense and the ability to get an extra mile out of yourself and others. Your faith in the inherent goodness or rightness in life sustains you through difficulties. You are an attentive and curious student and an inspiring teacher. MERCURY TRINE YOUR JUPITER You have a way of exaggerating and embellishing descriptions of circumstances in your life in a way that creates a new pathway for others. Your aim is for a better world for others and a better life for yourself. You have the ability to communicate the positive ingredients in a situation in a helpful, meaningful and uplifting way. MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE You see more than you can do. It's as if you are being led through life responding to a voice that no one else around you can hear. People may like you a lot and yet think you are quite naive. You believe in things that others think of as make believe. This is part of your charm, for part of you has always remained a child. You need to make sure that you know how to communicate to others based on their perceptions and beliefs, otherwise you have great difficulty belonging to a larger world than the one of your own creation. MERCURY OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE You have great difficulties communicating your ideals and values. You see what you want to see. Perceptions and imagination get confused. Work to get your creativity and highest aspirations across to others regardless of whether or not they receive and understand what you say. MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You go to the origin of a problem once you start working on it. You communicate with a quick, soft-spoken force that others pick up on magnetically. You have both broad range and depth of interest. You are very versatile and make a great problem solver. Your mind is naturally interested in security issues which can run the gambit from ordinary cops and robber stuff, to high tech computer theft, national security, and the international monetary fund. To fully use your skills you should spend time analyzing your motives. Do a thorough investigation as to your own beliefs about the meaning of life. Once you have these issues resolved you will not feel as secretive and your mental energy will be freer. MERCURY TRINE YOUR PLUTO Your understanding and depth of insight insure some progress in any field of study. You are good at solving mysteries as you "see through" any situation. You feel the inner connections between events, have good technical skills, and love exchanges over deep subjects. Avoid becoming so deeply involved in your own environment that you don't connect with the outer world. SECTION V. VENUS - Your Love Nature.The planet Venus shows the way you express your love nature and what you aspire for in life as good or beautiful. Venus has much to do with how you form your values. The sign placement of Venus shows the type of love energy you have. The house placement of Venus shows the natural area of expression of the love energy.

You are a very physical, slow and easygoing lover. You are slow to get involved with someone but you are steadfast once you do. Although you are by nature conservative and oriented toward your home, you have a pleasant sociable side to your nature and can be quite generous. You may have problems in dealing with others because you have a tendency to evaluate people on their material worth. In order to have satisfying human relationships, you need to see people more as they are and less in terms of their worth. Money may be security but it isn't any real compensation for lack of love. You seek inner peace through your sense of touch. Art, music, and harmonious order have deep significance for you. You have an earthly beauty and a natural charm. Venus in 10th house You are well thought of in society, generally. Your career may involve the arts, women, or the gentle side of experience. You are good at being able to cut a deal and get fringe benefits. You are a good negotiator. Venus in 10th house Unafflicted Many people help you to develop and grow. Your position in life seems to improve just in the living. You are given many lucky breaks and chances. You are in some sense a symbol for other people. They project onto you and live some aspect of their nature through you. You need to honor this help from others by doing your best when given a chance, and contributing directly to the betterment of others less fortunate than you. VENUS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON You have an aspect between Venus and the Moon. This shows that you have a powerful emotional nature and are affected at a deep level by other people's thoughts and opinions of you. This was taken up in some detail for you in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life. VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER You believe in yourself and in people. Your life tends to improve as you go along. You have a habit of knowing how to get one positive side of life pulling together with another positive quality. You acquire money and position as if it was natural to you. You are good at blending people and attributes of people together to get the most for the effort. Luck in life is a direct result of your optimism. Your life betters materially through marriage. VENUS TRINE YOUR JUPITER You are genuinely lucky and have a way with women who are lucky for you. You have long range vision and planning which carries you far. You understand the principle of momentum and know how to get positive linkage working in all of your projects. You are the master of rolling over accumulated wealth, talent, and energy. The beautiful things of life come to you and you are big on personal enjoyment. Occasionally, overindulgence will wear you down. However, even when you make a bad mistake, you are cushioned against great harm. Others respond to your charm. VENUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE You are easily led by your feelings. You are an idealist and a sensitive soul that is having a tough time getting your values to manifest. People take advantage of you at times because you empathize with others' pain. You have artistic talent but this is not meant to be a life as an artist. Consequently, you will have difficulties in youth getting reinforced for your aesthetic efforts. Later in life you will be a patron of the arts. Your artistic sentiments will come out and into full bloom in the realm of people. It takes you a long time to discover who is reliable and who isn't because you would rather believe in the inherent goodness of each person. You somehow expect that every person will have the same value system and perspective as you. VENUS OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE Emotional conflict comes because you have unrealistic expectations of life. You are inspired by an unattainable ideal. You are creative yet often disappointed by your own inability to achieve your ideals of love and beauty. Compromise and common sense are necessary in order to get the positive expression you desire. Realize as an adult you are trying to win approval from a childhood authority figure that isn't present in your life any more. VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You are powerful and magnetic. You have a magic charm for dealing with people. You have a universal love for people that is non-sectarian and non-judgemental. You are sustained by material abundance that comes from others at some time in this life and may have a sizable inheritance. When you get involved with a project you can really pour yourself into it with seemingly limitless energy. This energy evaporates when you aren't involved in a project of personal importance. VENUS TRINE YOUR PLUTO You have a way of hanging on to what is important in your life and getting rid of everything else. Your love is powerful but very specific. You have strong likes and dislikes and are very good at emotional discernment. SECTION VI. MARS - Your Energy.Mars is the planet of desires. It shows how you aim at your goals and how you power yourself toward your goals. Mars represents your most fundamental wants. The sign placement of Mars shows the fundamental nature of your assertions. The house placement of Mars shows the area of your life you are most likely to focus on. The aspects to Mars show how and to what extent your desires and assertions are involved with other aspects of living. MARS IN PISCES You desire an ideal that doesn't manifest in the world around you. When you learn this, your energy is channeled toward a higher realm. Then, life works out well for you. Until you learn this you dissipate your energy chasing the symbols of the ideal and tend to be quite confused. Your method for getting what you want is momentary and confused. You are intuitive in your approach and things tend to get so complicated that even simple things can retreat into the category of the unobtainable. Your energy becomes stronger and more stable when you get a musical or artistic outlet for your imagination. The harmony and inner rhythm of the arts allows you to be open to necessary structuring of your impulses. Mars in 8th house You can be very devotional. You have a strong interest in sex and close emotional sharing. Self-transcendence and self-transformation are important to you. Mars in 8th house Afflicted You have to avoid longing for self-worth and meaning to come from others. Learn to be self-sufficient and your emotions will become more stable and your relationships will improve. MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER You are lucky but overstep your limits time and time again. You are truly lucky when you learn how to walk away from the dice table a winner rather than always going for double or nothing until you lose. Your tendency is always to try to multiply a winning situation rather than just accepting it as a win at face value. Enough is enough, learn to be satisfied. In human relationships you are often in a kind of good-natured competition even with those on your team. You think of this as building character and personal reliance but others will see you as selfish and a poor team player. Your boldness and bluntness needs to be curbed; for even though people may like you, they will not trust you. MARS SQUARE YOUR JUPITER Enthusiasm, energy, optimism and luck carry you a long way in life. However, hypocrisy, misappraisals, tactlessness, and bombasticness cause you trouble. If you have patience, good judgement, and take the time to lay a good foundation in every project you undertake, you will go far, have a winning flair, and lots of luck. Your natural instinct to gamble will "do you in", but, controlled, this same impulse gives your personality color. MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE When you speak, others listen. You stir people to rethink basic assumptions. You need to be careful that high ideals do not become an excuse for inaction, or that theory doesn't take the place of practice. There is a spiritual quality to your thoughts that can point to fanatic rambling and an impractical attitude toward the responsibilities of life. Avoid drugs, alcohol and anything that can be devitalizing. You need to constantly re-check your direction so as to ensure absolute integrity of purpose. You are prone to expound a belligerent philosophy while harboring escapist fantasies. MARS SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR NEPTUNE Flashes of insight and inspiration fly from you as you move through life. You are a person in motion, making lots of adjustments for your vision of what is possible. When you are most creative you are often inadvertently self isolating. This happens because your ideals are at odds with most everyone else's conscious aspirations. SECTION VII. JUPITER - Your Values.Jupiter is the king of the planets. He is in charge of the order of creation. Jupiter shows your values, where you feel confident and in control, and where you feel you have something to teach others. The sign placement of Jupiter shows your values in life. The house placement of Jupiter shows the area of life you feel luckiest in and the area you receive the most help from other people and from the cosmos. The aspect patterns to Jupiter show the direct network of good and administrative power in your life. JUPITER IN CAPRICORN Your values are practical, serious, dutiful and critical. You are capable of being disciplined and exercise a large amount of self restraint. You like consistency and have great organizing ability. You tend to know the material worth of things in life much better than most. Because of this, you are naturally thrifty and good at spotting a bargain. You have good self-control and are too conscientious to walk away from a position or program that you have taken on as a responsibility. You are motivated by fame, power, and position much more than by money or material accumulation. Still, you gain a sense of self worth through what you acquire so you will have a large collection of something (be it money or certificates of achievement) at some time during your life. Jupiter in 5th house You are fond of self-expression. You are a natural creator, demonstrator and teacher. You experience much joy through artistic and cultural outlets. You have the ability to get along with children. Jupiter in 5th house Unafflicted You may be so enthusiastic and powerful in your self-expression that others find you difficult. Although you are generally successful in what you have been doing, avoid being so self-absorbed that you don't see what is going on in others' lives. Your confidence, in itself, however, encourages others to get on with their own lives. JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE SUN You have an aspect from Jupiter to the Sun showing a deep connection between your values and your ego. As a consequence of this you have a stronger faith in your beliefs than most people and you are more likely to act on them. You have the potential for being quite an inspiration for others. In Section I. (The Sun - Your Ego Structure) there is more commentary on this trait of yours. JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE MOON You have an aspect from Jupiter to the Moon showing an interest in expressing values through your daily life. What you believe has more impact on what you do than it does for most other people. The information on this topic in Section III. (The Moon - Your Personal Life) may be helpful in grasping how you do this. JUPITER IN ASPECT TO MERCURY You have Jupiter in aspect to Mercury indicating a deep commitment to communicate something of value. You will have a commitment to knowing the truth and conveying it to others. You will find some further information on this topic in Section IV. Mercury - You Mental Life. JUPITER IN ASPECT TO VENUS You have an aspect of Jupiter to Venus. This indicates that you expect the positive to happen. Your life values easily adjust to your taste, love nature and your sense for the beautiful. This creates some feeling of abundance for you. Your values are in tune with your affection. You may find the information in Section V. (Venus - Your Love Nature) useful in understanding this process. JUPITER IN ASPECT TO MARS You have an aspect of Jupiter to Mars. This aspect shows that you have an optimistic spirit and have the ability to assert your desires. Your enthusiasm may come forward as combativeness or as competition but in either case you are a lively participant in life. Your values and your energy emerge as zest for living. This aspect is commented on further in Section VI. Mars - Your Energy. JUPITER IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS Avoid your gambling impulses. The "long shot" and the impractical choices call you. Don't answer and you will be richer for it. You need to be grounded because your imagination is so far beyond the happenings of our common reality that you are likely to start selling real estate franchises on Mars before anyone has ever landed there. Make sure your ideas are practical before you start putting effort into them. New ideas you will always have; your difficulties come from putting energy into them. You don't see the necessity to work for a new idea in a realistic way because you have a belief that worthwhile ideas promote themselves. Consequently, you can end up "an armchair revolutionary". Make it a practice to sift through your ideas and actively support the most important. JUPITER SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR URANUS You have an undertone of excitement that pushes your life forward no matter what else is happening. You feel lucky and you generally are, but life does force you to keep on the move as you have an insatiable (even if unconscious) drive for freedom. JUPITER IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE You have spiritual insight into problems that aids your skills in finding solutions. You emit a certain charm that greases the wheels of life. You have broad appeal that engenders trust in the general public, regardless of whether or not you can sustain this trust from those who see you close up. JUPITER SEXTILE YOUR NEPTUNE Your faith in life and in people gives you a gift. You are able to turn difficult situations into positive ones. Further, any time you concentrate on your own talents and innate goodness, circumstances improve. JUPITER IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You have natural leadership qualities, insight into social and spiritual needs and a sense of humor that stops you from taking yourself or the world too seriously. You have the ability to teach others because you emit a certain magnetic charge on all that you say and it stays with people. But, more important than your skill at disseminating information is your ability to find and go directly to any situation that will help you learn and grow. You are on a quick track in this life and have determined to work on improving the attributes of your personality that need development the most. You will have material abundance in this life but it may have little importance to you once attained since you are really looking for freedom, and the material abundance only brings you more worldly responsibilities. JUPITER TRINE YOUR PLUTO You have luck that won't quit, and consequently you are often cushioned against the worst results that could have come from the mistakes you make. You explore and experience a lot and sometimes take a wrong turn or go too far. But you do learn. You have a knack for turning defeat into a fortunate opportunity to grow and change perspectives. SECTION VIII. SATURN - Your Obligations.The planet Saturn shows where you feel restricted. You feel obligations and fears through Saturn. Because of your feeling connected with Saturn you are either responsible or neglectful. The sign placement of Saturn shows the basic type of energy connected with your obligations. The house placement of Saturn shows an area of life that you feel restricted in and work hard to obtain the things that come to you. The aspects of Saturn show the most direct involvement of other areas of your life with your feelings of responsibility. SATURN IN CAPRICORN You are afraid of not getting what you have coming. You are ambitious but have a sense of personal integrity. You are always striving for self control and try to channel your energy most productively. You are willing to start at the bottom and work your way up. You keep striving and eventually get the recognition that you long for. As you get older you value inner control more than outer worldly success. Saturn in 6th house You are an incredibly conscientious worker. You are hard-working and exacting. You need to fight off any ill health as soon as it arrives as it is apt to be chronic. Good health is easy to maintain when you put good habits into place. They tend to be self-perpetuating. Saturn in 6th house Unafflicted You receive very reliable help. As your competence increases in an area of work, so does your support. You are successful in life by paying attention to routine details and by being patient. Progress comes incrementally as you slowly build one win upon another. SATURN IN ASPECT THE SUN You have Saturn in aspect to the Sun showing that you identify deeply with your obligations in life. This aspect of your nature is explored more deeply in Section II. The Sun - Your Ego Structure. SATURN IN ASPECT TO THE MOON You have Saturn in aspect to the Moon showing a close relationship between your upbringing and your emotional outlook. This connection is explored in its essence in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life. SATURN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You have some deep fears that color your perceptions of what is possible in life. Your negative attitudes toward yourself and life create real problems for you getting to your goals. You may attract anger or violence from others as a by-product of your fears, or express your own, as frustration and blocks bubble over. You have a tendency to "block out" anything that you fear and can't control. Courage and persistency of effort eventually bring an easier pattern in life. SATURN SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR PLUTO You may feel victimized by circumstances. It is easy to feel frustrated when you realize that everything you try to do requires more energy than you thought it would. Tremendous energy is required for success in life but it is achievable. It is possible to create great things in life, but for you it always requires deep self-transformation. SECTION IX. URANUS - Your Search For Freedom.The planet Uranus is beyond the orbit of Saturn and can't be seen without the aid of a telescope. It represents the sky in us, that which transcends the limits of finite life. Uranus raises the vibration of everything it contacts. The sign placement of Uranus shows your broadest striving for freedom. The house placement of Uranus indicates your area of direct unique expression. The aspects to Uranus indicate the way you express your need for higher consciousness. URANUS IN LEO You have an urge to express your creativity. You throw yourself totally into what you do. There is a sense of self importance that you could always buy into, but you are really looking for some higher identity. Uranus in 1st house You are a true individualist. You favor the new, the unusual and the unique in life. Your appearance deviates from the norm. You will have at least two distinct tones to your hair. Uranus in 1st house Afflicted Your plans change abruptly. People are often left guessing as to what you will do next. Your willfulness and high-strung attitude gets in the way of accomplishing as much as you would like. Learn to relax and listen to others. URANUS IN ASPECT TO THE SUN You have Uranus in aspect to the Sun showing that you are a freedom lover at heart and this forms a central feature of your personality. This aspect of your nature is explained in Section II. The Sun - Your Ego Structure. URANUS IN ASPECT TO JUPITER You have Uranus in aspect to Jupiter showing that you have a big vision of what life can be at its best. How this works out for you is discussed in Section VII. Jupiter - Your Values. SECTION X. NEPTUNE - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals. The planet Neptune has an almost perfectly circular orbit. It represents the part of our nature that strives for perfection, that looks to some higher ideal. The planet Neptune rules the ocean and the part of us that is beyond the limits of the shores of personal existence. The culture moves with the cycles of Neptune and it is the primary indicator of your connection to the culture that you live in. The sign of Neptune shows an ideal that you desire to manifest. The house placement of Neptune shows the area of your life that you want to express this ideal in. The aspect patterns of Neptune indicate the most direct connections yet most subtle networking of your personality into the world at large. NEPTUNE IN SCORPIO You have powerful and unconscious impulses for sensation. You wish most of all to keep a social ideal alive through emotional intensity. You struggle to work out your secret desires. Neptune in 4th house You go to some trouble to secure the congeniality of your home environment. Your roots in life are tied to your spiritual outlook. You may live in surroundings that strengthen your intuition of psychic perceptions like being near a large body of water or in a spiritual commune. Neptune in 4th house Unafflicted Spiritual longings grow stronger as you get older. You are able to create an island of solitude where you can retreat from the day-to-day pressures. As you get older, this inner fortress stops being so much an escape and more a pillar of stability in your personality. NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO THE SUN You have an aspect of Neptune to the Sun showing that you have a gentleness and lofty vision of life. How this works out is shown by Section II. The Sun - Your Ego Structure. NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO THE MOON You have an aspect of Neptune to the Moon. This indicates a deep interest in the arts and in cultural pursuits. How your aesthetic taste influences your daily life is discussed further in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life. NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO MERCURY You have an aspect of Neptune to your Mercury showing a deep vision of the truth and some psychic awareness. This perception of yours is discussed in some detail in Section IV. Mercury -Your Mental Life. NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO VENUS You have Neptune in aspect to Venus. This indicates that you are very artistic by inclination and idealistic in love. This pattern is described in Section V. Venus - Your Love Nature. NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO MARS You have Neptune in aspect with your Mars. This shows that you are idealistic and have a magnetic personality. How this works out in your life is described in Section VI. Mars - Your Energy. NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO JUPITER You have an aspect of Neptune to Jupiter. This indicates that you have a lofty vision of the possible in life and that you attract good things by this expectation. How this works out for you is shown by Section VII. Jupiter - Your Obligations. NEPTUNE IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You are fundamentally an idealist. You would like to see change come about in a way that doesn't destroy the existing social order. You believe in transition and transformation as saner and kinder principles of social change than revolutionary upheaval. NEPTUNE SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO Your higher ideals are the continuous recipient of forceful energy for change. Your long range perspective (even though this may at times be unconscious) is always toward your ideals winning out through deep self transformation. SECTION XI. PLUTO - Your Need For Fundamental Change.The planet Pluto represents the dark underground part of you. It shows your ability to transform the most fundamental properties in your own inner nature. The sign of Pluto is the way the obsessive, compulsive and committed part of your nature expresses itself. The house placement of Pluto shows the area of life where you make your most fundamental and most potent changes. The aspects to Pluto show the deepest most unconscious links in your personality structure. PLUTO IN VIRGO At best, you have critical powers to discriminate between that which works and that which doesn't. There is a striving for perfection at the core of your being that can narrow your horizons so far that you focus too much on basic issues connected with your own life. At worst, you are so critical that you slow down everyone's effectiveness. Patience and hard work are required in order to complete your personal transformations. Pluto in 2nd house Your financial picture is in the extremes. You may well go from poverty to wealth or wealth to poverty at least once in life and maybe more than once. In either case money is a sensitive issue (perhaps even an embarrassment) and plays a large a role in your thinking. However, you do have ability and your skill brings you a good return for your efforts. Pluto in 2nd house Unafflicted You instinctively know how to build on past successes. The material side of life takes care of itself eventually and you are free to work on other things. You may feel trapped by your success and abundance as it is all a "paper tiger". PLUTO IN ASPECT TO THE MOON You have an aspect of Pluto to the Moon. You have a deep connection to your mother. The nurturing side of your personality is being transformed during this life. The details of this are indicated in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO MERCURY You have an aspect of Pluto to Mercury. This indicates that you have a profound mental life. This is detailed out in Section IV. Mercury - Your Mental Life. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO VENUS You have an aspect of Pluto to Venus showing that you have a very deeply entrenched love nature that you are transforming. The details of this are discussed in Section V. Venus - Your Love Nature. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO JUPITER You have an aspect of Pluto to Jupiter showing that you have a deep connection with the abundance of the earth. How this works out is taken up in Section VII. Jupiter - Your Values. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO SATURN You have an aspect of Pluto to Saturn. This shows that you are very impressed with things in the past. The working out of this impression is taken up in Section VIII. Saturn - Your Obligations. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO NEPTUNE You have an aspect of Pluto to Neptune which shows your involvement in a large cultural process. This involvement is described in Section X. Neptune - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals. SECTION XII. SUMMATION.A. YOUR UNIQUENESS Part of your style of being a person is tied to your personal method of adapting to and interacting with other people. This aspect of your personality shows itself through every aspect of how you deal with the environment. This method of your being encourages as well as reveals your uniqueness. YOUR MAJOR PLANETARY ASPECT IS A TRINE. You like to do things in a big way. You are optimistic and expect to win. Your positive attitude and general long range view in life gives you the best possible chance to make something good come from your various talents. Even setbacks look like an opportunity to grow. Your ability to avoid difficulty seems like luck to others while it is a natural and obvious skill to you. Your keyword is Enthusiasm. YOU HAVE NO PLANETARY SEMI-SQUARES. Your reasoning style is less recourse to theory and more attention to what works. You are empirical and would rather "look in the horse's mouth" than speculate on how many teeth it must have. B. YOUR EASIEST AREAS. The following material is an index of things that you have developed as inner resources. You may take them for granted, but in times of reevaluation and rest this part of your personality can provide you comfort and strength. Moon in the Second House. You have the ability to earn and save based on your solid pattern of habits. You develop a network of personal self-worth that serves you well. Venus in Taurus. You have a soft, sensitive, sensual side of your nature. This is a quality that allows you to enjoy the material world and find personal expression for your love nature. Mars in the Eighth House. You have a natural attraction to life's mysteries and you grow in life by planting your seeds, then being patient and waiting for the harvest. Digging into your own nature and being self observant brings you more energy and pure applications. Saturn in Capricorn. You are responsible. You have a natural ability to complete any project for which you feel responsible. You have a good sense of timing. Neptune in the Fourth House. Your natural feeling for your own life and life in general is very positive. Family and your emotional roots can create a pattern of positive expectation that you can always fall back on. C. YOUR MOST PERSISTENT DIFFICULTIES. This material describes the "cutting edge" of your work on yourself. The thoughts rendered here are meant as further guidelines for growth. You should take difficulties and challenges in the right spirit. They are always positive indicators as to how you can experience the joy of becoming a better person and more like your REAL SELF. Afflicted Mars Your desires often get you into trouble. Rechanneling your energy into something constructive is very difficult. Your natural tendency is to repress your wants or to trade one extreme, like anger, for another such as lust or greed. Your energy is still a winning quality and good effort eventually brings good results. You can learn to redirect your impulses through hard work, patience and consistent attention to results. Afflicted Uranus You have a habit of expressing your uniqueness at the wrong moments and in the wrong way. Unhappiness and a feeling of isolation are the end products of your actions that you were hoping would lead to freedom. True freedom comes through responsibilities, not by escaping them. Develop creative outlets for your energy that will not run counter to your basic good will to others and your true responsibilities follow you naturally. Jupiter in Capricorn Your value system can limit rather than inspire you. Try to get your urge to accumulate focused on things that really matter. If you have your self-acceptance based on what you are rather than what you have, you will become freer from the worry of your position in life. Uranus in Leo Your urge for freedom gets thwarted by your need for self expression. You can't build a bigger picture of yourself and overcome personal limitations simultaneously. As your sense of personal identity reaches toward a larger picture, the impulse for creativity within you can be a tremendous help. Pluto in the Second House You have great extremes in personal resources in life which reflects the basic contradiction of wanting to be connected to all of life and wanting to be totally private in your appraisal of self-worth. You need to overcome greed and guilt in order to fully transform your life. Pluto in Virgo You suffer in the process of self-transformation because you have difficulty in making the decision to change yourself rather than changing circumstances in your life. Get more basic, change your attitudes and habits and life becomes much lighter. D. THE GROWTH ASPECTS The Growth aspects operate differently than other aspects in your chart. While it is possible to use them descriptively, as showing finer shades of meaning within the chart, we wish to use them in a different manner for our purposes. The growth aspects are tools of self development. If you apply attention to the various qualities in your nature linked through the growth aspects, you will see positive change over time. These qualities generally do not show quick effortless solutions, but instead show a path of change requiring exertion and emotional honesty. Under these circumstances, the way these aspects of your nature change through time are truly amazing. The qualities mentioned here can be the very mechanisms to release the highest, finest side of your nature. Saturn in Growth aspect to Uranus Feelings of limitation can stop you from expressing the newer insights that occur to you every so often. The struggle that you go through in life will often center around your fears of being left out of activities that you see others participating in. You will have to reevaluate your feelings of responsibility every so often to overcome the feeling of self denial that you put yourself through. Growth often comes by getting down to the roots of your personal insecurity and self limiting behavior. Saturn Quincunx Uranus Outward achievement may take the place of inner development until you learn to monitor your needs, obligations, and desires. Setting reasonable limits on how much of your energy goes into any part of your life takes a good deal of effort and navigation, but, this is necessary to be as successful as you would like to be. E. THE DECLINATIONS There is another dimension to your astrology chart. This has to do with planets being the same distance from the celestial equator. When both planets are on the same side of this plane there are called parallel. When the planets are the same distance but on opposite sides of the celestial equator they are referred to as being contra-parallel. Both of these aspect activate your ability to organize and reorganize some aspect of your life. Sun Parallel Uranus You are not content with an ordinary life. Something in you is always "stirring the pot" so to speak. You believe that life can be better and you will do something to get this point across to others while also doing something to tangibly improve your own circumstances. Sometimes you need to learn to leave "well enough alone " as your constant fussing can create difficulties. Still, your originality and spontaneousness gives color and accomplishment to your life. Mercury Parallel Venus You color your expressions with great cheerfulness and artistic flair. There is a sociableness to your demeanor which give you sparkle. The aesthetic taste you bring to conversation gives you charm, graciousness, and general likability. Mercury Parallel Midheaven Good use of your hands and mind to make adjustments in your environment give you a way of feeling useful and important to others. Your underlying mental mapping of the surrounding environment is one that always reveals options. This can give you nervousness, but also it gives you ideas and an interesting point of view. Venus Parallel Midheaven A slavish devotion to the aesthetic particulars of your home and environment can lead you to develop a deep sense of culture and taste. The understanding of how things can be at their best can give you difficulties in coming to terms with less than satisfactory surroundings in your personal space. This carries over into your professional life and you will have a deep desire to see your aesthetic nature contribute to your career path. Mars Contra-Parallel North Node of the Moon Hidden resources of energy can drive you toward your goals in life but your ability to disconnect from your physical life is a mixed blessing. On one hand it gives you extra strength and on the other hand you may be overriding your natural defense signals. Learn to stay tuned to your environment. Saturn Contra-Parallel Pluto The drive to accomplish much in a short span of time and a general distrust of life comes from feeling that the world is a difficult and very limiting place. At root, much of this feeling is based on a negative perception about yourself and what you have coming. You are the sponsor of your own setbacks in life. Progress means to study the past world history and personal psychology in order to move forward in a responsible and effective manner. Discipline and faith are the necessary ingredients needed to put your life on a positive footing. F. YOUR KARMIC DIRECTION The Moon's North Node is an all encompassing and instructive point of synthesis in the chart; we could easily start or end our analysis with this one single factor. Because this indicator is so all inclusive it most shows your karmic direction in life. The sign placement of your North node points to your destiny. When your actions, interests, and values are structured by this position, your general sense of personal well being improves. The house placement of the North Node of the Moon indicates or points to an area of life, an arena of experience. By confronting, even augmenting this arena you can inadvertently improve every aspect of your life. By dealing with issues connected to the North Node placement in your chart your general character strengthens and refines. North Node of the Moon in Virgo Be as specific as you can be and avoid retreat into escapist fantasies. The more detailed you are in life the faster you learn. The more factual and analytic you are the quicker life moves forward. Real progress is incremental, where you recognize, catalogue, and can replicate, every step of the journey. The more you adopt a procedural and non-emotional approach to your projects the further and faster you move toward achieving your goals. Be practical and patient. North Node of the Moon in Virgo and in the Second House You have a tendency to give yourself away to your own disadvantage. Your emotional involvements with others often work out to your disadvantage. Learn to pay attention to the practical and specific sides of your own life. Be matter of fact with your own self-appraisal. Honesty brings progress. TABLE OF DEFINITIONS These are some basic astrological definitions. Reading through this material can enhance your understanding of your The Real You report. You may want to take up a more serious study of these symbols as a preliminary step to a study of all of life through astrology.
