Introduction

This Spirit Success Report from Halloran Software’s AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program draws upon 576 paragraphs which interpret the places of the planets at the time of your birth, describing your personal houses, sign placements, and planetary aspects.

These astrological delineations depict your potential and how to make the most of it, or the challenges you will continue to face and how to confront and benefit from them. Though you may change through experience, your inherent characteristics will still motivate how you act and react to circumstances. How you handle yourself is really a clue to your success, and it is up to you to make the “right” choices.

Here are the parts which make up your chart:

HOUSES: Govern sections of your life, e.g., your money, your health, your partners, etc. They are also meaningful as to where your early interests lie and if they are worth pursuing.

SIGNS: Contribute feelings or vibrations to “color” planets, e.g., MERCURY rules GEMINI and VIRGO and emphasizes their qualities of thought, travel, health, and work. JUPITER rules SAGITTARIUS and higher education, spiritual growth, and law.

ASPECTS: Are angles combining the planets in the SIGNS/HOUSES that trigger the manner in which you will be influenced or can handle your qualities to advantage, e.g., MERCURY (thought) TRINE (in good aspect to) JUPITER (education and law) may indicate that you can succeed as a counselor in legal matters.

A “Strength” number precedes each ASPECT interpretation towards the end of the reading. This number synthesizes how exact is the aspect, whether the aspect is major or minor, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles. The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to live it out in your life.

You are most likely to feel and act out the Spirit Success Report’s sign and house placement interpretations when the planets involved are strong in your chart. This is true especially of the outer planets, Jupiter through Pluto. The Astrodynes program, also available from Halloran Software, calculates the respective power and harmony of all the planets in your chart.
Planets in Signs

Sun in Taurus

(Keynote: I OWN)

You have deep material and spiritual concerns and are patient, kind, romantic and firm in your resolves. You are also capable of being stubborn, unyielding, self-indulgent, possessive and jealous. You enjoy tangibles that have weight and intrinsic worth, and display your assets and achievements prominently. Your aesthetic hunger makes you a patron of the arts. You will forgive, but not forget an injustice. A need for security can override your integrity, but you will defend your means to achieve an end because you cannot accept yourself if others find you wanting.
Moon in Pisces

(The Wishful)

You go with your emotions and change your desires from moment to moment, but are always hopeful for the future. You are sensitive and easily discouraged by rebuffs; your potent imagination makes you susceptible to imagined hurts and slights. You may adopt food or fantasies as a panacea for disappointments in the love and understanding that are as important to you as breathing. Look for solid ground on which to stand. You can build a life that is productive and pleasurable by giving your artistic talents commercial expression to bolster your ego as well as your purse.
Mercury in Taurus

(The Dedicated)

You believe in the “golden rule” and extend the benefit of the doubt. You may be slow to anger, but can be physically forceful; will forgive, but never forget an injustice. Your powers of rationalization demand that you take time to prepare ahead for any task you undertake, which may be mistaken for procrastination. If you have a weak point, it is being too set in your ways, but on the plus side, once committed, you can be depended upon to follow through.
Venus in Pisces

(The Compassionate)

You often realize the needs of others before they ask your help and are on hand to volunteer your time, money and services for those less fortunate than yourself. Emotions overrule your practicality in most cases and sentimental compassion may override personal relationships. If you are “unlucky” in love, perhaps you should not sacrifice it on the altar of public charity, but also acknowledge the needs of those who care for you and deserve consideration.
Mars in Leo

(The Grandee)

You recognize your potential and will find creative ways of enlisting the aid of those who can promote your success. If there is risk involved in your rise, you will enjoy the adventure, but may suffer the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” You share your victories, but conceit can cost you needed support. You may also be too quick to invite love affairs which go nowhere, but will waste your time and damage your ego. Take your time. You deserve the best.
Jupiter in Aries

(The Pioneer)

You see the potential in everything and everybody, but success is not the same for everyone. While nothing seems impossible to you, others are not blessed with your optimism that “where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Undaunted by failure, you will not settle for less than the best and will try to reach a star, long after you’ve gained a mountain-top.
Saturn in Aquarius

(The Apprentice)

You are a student of the universe and will explore different avenues, while attracting a variety of friends. Many of these will be with you for your lifetime of discovery. You will delve into both orthodox and progressive values before adapting them to your own original purposes. Your findings may have intrinsic worth in your later years. Don’t discount their significance. A master is no less a master because he must adhere to a need for creature comforts.
Uranus in Virgo

(The Quirky)

You have talent for discovering unusual types of diet and herbal remedies, but must present an authoritative platform before encouraging others to try them. Otherwise, you may be taken as a “quack” instead of a mechanist who qualifies as a valuable teacher. A government position may introduce you to other countries and the fundamentals in ancient science as your foundation. Employ a critical eye as a useful tool when discerning suitable applications in the healing arts.
Neptune in Scorpio

(The Initiator)

You take great delight in other people’s secrets and may use them to advantage. If you have information that needs disclosure for the benefit of others, you may expose it in a subtle, but effective way. You may also use your knowledge to promote a principle or public figures while working behind the scenes. A leaning towards self-indulgence needs careful monitoring so that your strength is not used in abusive ways, but as a benefactor who prefers to remain anonymous.
Pluto in Virgo

(The Restorers)

You have a rare opportunity of renovating the world in carefully-structured channels when the environment seems at its lowest ebb. Drugs, disease, addictions and crime will no longer be tolerated. You will have a major part in seeing that justice is done. Law-makers, and those who execute the law will be among your peers, as well as some who are willing to educate those who truly desire self-improvement as their contribution to elevate mankind.
North Node in Cancer

(The Regressor)

Your biggest stumbling block is your pride. If you don’t receive the respect you feel you deserve, you will distance the love you desire. Learn to give without expectation of rewards and remember the selfless nurturing received in childhood. Offer that same care to others who need it now, if you would receive full value for emotional investments.
Planets in Aspect

Moon conjunct Venus (Strength: 6.62)

(The Reveler)

You are a party-goer, a party-giver and may exploit your social abilities in a commercial venture. Shopping for the trappings that call attention to your good taste is a way of life. You are usually in good spirits and good health and are depressed only when you feel neglected or unable to indulge yourself in the luxuries money can buy. Use your talents to create beauty. Your artistic gifts can compensate for an empty purse and bring you the praise of others to enjoy.
Sun trine Uranus (Strength: 6.38)

(The Electrifier)

You are a motivating force, and often inspire others to follow your lead. Never content with the “status quo,” a search for enlightenment can lead you to explore unusual ways of getting in touch with yourself. Beware of “kooky” cults or schemes, but uplifting studies can be helpful. One of these may be astrology. If you are not productive, restless energy may appear as nervous disorders which can only be remedied by steps you take to restore your cosmic balance.
Mercury square Saturn (Strength: 4.35)

(The Immovable)

You see self-containment and a stoic ability to survive as virtues. However, you are apt to lack communication skills which could expand your horizons and save you from feeling isolated from the friendship you crave. Your sense of responsibility is admirable, but you cannot expect others to accept your over-critical, pessimistic attitudes, whether you mean to project them or not. Add flexibility and a sense-of-humor for better balance in your seemingly lackluster life.
Mars square Neptune (Strength: 3.15)

(The Smoke Screen)

You often deal from weakness instead of the real strength you possess, or hide behind the mask of a bully or someone too idealistic to be practical. You fear if others see the “real” you, they will not appreciate your very worthwhile qualities and take advantage. Stop playing games if you wish to succeed in relationships. Decide to face issues honestly, or enlist the proper support to assist you over the hurdles and keep you on the straight course you must travel to achieve success.
Mercury opposite Neptune (Strength: 0.65)

(The Dazed)

Your gentle nature forbids harsh or uncharitable treatment. Confusion may make a formal education, direction of goals or a life-work unrealistic, unless your sensitivity is taken into account. You have a high spiritual calling, and are intuitive and compassionate, which often guides you into practical channels where you may use your talents to heal mankind. Special gifts need special development. There are those who will understand, encourage and abet you.
Uranus in a quintile aspect to Neptune (Strength: 0.60)

(The Pupil)

You will undergo radical transformation more than once as you progress from neophyte to adept in the school of life. You look for new and different ways to relate to your place in the sun and the universe, and will be happier in philosophies or religions that express “new thought” than in traditional frameworks. You will attract unusual companions who are involved in the same kind of metaphysical or esoteric studies that you explore; you will support each other in your findings.
Jupiter inconjunct Uranus (Strength: 0.21)

(The Overeager)

Your optimism is your weak point, as well as the thing that keeps you going against all odds. If one door closes, you are sure to try to open a better one. In spite of the fact that you often fail because you are ahead of your time, you believe that some day your ship will come in. Prepare to unload it. If you can stop overextending yourself, you may be in the right place at the right time. Experience will prove that sometimes an element of fortune is necessary to succeed.
Moon conjunct Jupiter (Strength: 0.13)

(The Equipollent)

You have a strong conviction that what you put into something will be returned in equal measure. In most cases you are right, and since you project confidence, enthusiasm, nurturing and good will, that is what you attract. However, you must avoid temptations to acquire “too much of a good thing.” You are, by nature, given to excesses. Don’t allow your optimism to lure you with empty hopes and promises into depths beyond your reach and over your head.
Balance of Elements and Modalities

Abundant Earth

You are in touch with the real world. More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way. Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age. Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well. You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them. Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types. You know how to establish a pace and keep it.

Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here — to which others may be more sensitive than you. Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched. Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve. You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull. If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn’t everything and try to be more spontaneous. Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).
Abundant Water

In your case, the heart rules the head. Your emotional drives are strong and you act primarily on the basis of your feelings. Whether your feelings are purely personal, interpersonal, or transpersonal is up to you, but generally you are a life-oriented person who feels keenly and who acts to support your family, friends, and community. You are happiest when you are in a caring relationship with a significant other. That person should be comfortable with the emotional closeness that you bring to relationships, while providing the structure or inspiration that you need. Some of your friends will not be as comfortable with emotional closeness as you are, and you will have to respect their boundaries. You have probably learned over the years how to keep your sensitive nature from being hurt. Don’t permanently withdraw, but find the people with whom and the environment in which you can be yourself.

Because of your sensitivity, you easily pick up others’ thoughts and feelings. You can anticipate others’ needs before they have expressed them. You can usually rely on your intuition when it comes to forecasting the outcome of personal and career decisions. If you decide to use your psychic abilities for healing, learn to let go of the negative feelings that you process from others. Since you are so sensitive, find quiet moments for private introspection in which you can reconnect with what you feel instead of what others feel. You also find it revitalizing to be around large bodies of water.

You do have a need to stop and think things through before acting. Make the effort to communicate with others who may have a more objective viewpoint or who could see solutions that elude you. You can sometimes be criticized for acting from a purely personal perspective, which you could avoid by learning and respecting society’s larger viewpoint. You can be very creative in finding paths to your personal goals. Keep the larger viewpoint in mind and later you will not have to try to rationalize to others why you chose those paths.
Lack of Air

Expressing yourself does not come easily to you. You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers. It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking. If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked. Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational. With the mind’s normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience. Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.

Try to see life less personally, in a more objective way. Take classes and never stop educating yourself.

A lack of planets in Air signs can be offset by an Air sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Relationships.
Lack of Fire

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way. You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership. You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive. Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

A lack of planets in Fire signs can be offset by a Fire sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Life.
Abundant Fixed

With an abundance of planets in Fixed signs, you have the staying power to complete a project, grow a family, or expand a business. Your strength is what friends notice most about you. You have definite values; you focus your affections on the people and things that are part of your team. Friendships formed over time are important to you. You may be found at the center of a circle of friends, a large family, a government agency, or a business. You understand the contribution that stability and security make to prosperity and growth. It throws you off-balance when friends are not as reliable as you are or when love and ideals are not part of your life. Concentrate on developing confidence in yourself, a wholesome world for your family or group, and binding others to you with love. If you have a weakness, it is trouble changing or listening when people tell you a better way to do things. You can handle this weakness by empowering your team, as among them will be individuals who are good at reacting to a constantly changing world.
Abundant Mutable

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone’s friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others’ needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.
Lack of Cardinal

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

A lack of planets in the Cardinal signs can be offset by a Cardinal sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Angular houses.

Introduction

The following pages contain a brief evaluation of key elements of your birth chart, although it is by no means complete. Astrology can reveal many things about a person’s life and personality, and you could study your chart for a lifetime without knowing the answers to all of your questions. The descriptions that follow will give you a “thumbnail” introduction to yourself through astrology.

In interpreting your chart, this report considers the sign of the planets and the north node in your chart, as well as their house placements. It also describes the sign of the Ascendant and the strongest aspects between the planets.

You may note that some of the following descriptions appear to contradict each other–and indeed we are all walking bundles of contradiction. If you examine yourself carefully, you will probably realize that you do in fact possess the qualities of both conflicting descriptions. Even though some parts of the reading may seem to clash, you will see that certain themes are repeated throughout the following pages. These are the ones that will become major issues in your life.

The readings stress that you are the ultimate decider of your fate. The stars may indicate the hand you were dealt at birth, but it is up to you to play that hand well enough to achieve your goals. Also, bear in mind that every “bad” aspect of a chart also has a “good” side. How it is expressed is really up to you. We tend to work at expressing ourselves more positively most of the time and only lapse into the negative behavior described when depressed, angry or scared. Or it is possible that some aspects may better describe your personality or behavior earlier in life. They may seem alien now because you have already worked through them.

A “Strength” number precedes each aspect description; this number takes into account how exact the aspect is, whether the aspect is a major or minor one, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles. The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to act it out in your life.
Planets in Signs

Sun in Taurus

“I shall sit here,” he said,
“on and off, for days and days.”
–Lewis Carroll

Natives of the sign Taurus are well known for their stubbornness. Like their symbol, the Bull, they are slow to anger but can be quite violent when aroused. Then after they’ve kicked up their heels and charged at you a few times, they go back to grazing peacefully in the pasture. Taurus jealously guards his or her tranquil environment and will brook no interference.

Since it is an earth sign, Taurus natives usually have their feet planted firmly on terra firma. They are practical and stable people, but they will not hesitate to spend money extravagantly on the finer things in life and will insist on the best of everything. They appreciate art objects, good music, fine wines and beautiful surroundings and are willing to pay for them. Since Taurus is ruled by Venus, it is also the sign of love. Taureans are romantic, affectionate and sensuous, and they are fiercely protective of their mates.

It is not easy for Taureans to undergo radical change in their lives because they usually resist. But once they decide to change directions, they adapt very well to their newfound goal and can apply themselves effectively. One of the major lessons that Taureans must learn is to cooperate with the changes taking place in their lives rather than fighting them.

Many Taureans go on to succeed in life, partly because this is the only way they can live the lifestyle they prefer. They are not likely to be impulsive gamblers in life but instead plan their endeavors well. Most Taureans are social animals and get along well with most others. Why not? They are naturally graceful, charming and interesting people.
Moon in Pisces

This Moon sign indicates strong intuitive and psychic qualities. You should generally follow your intuition, although you may be afraid to do so, especially if you have unfavorable aspects to your Moon. Emotionally you are extremely sensitive, and for this reason the Pisces Moon is more easily dealt with in a woman’s chart than in a man’s.

You care a great deal about others and seek to serve society as a whole in your own way. Just remember to find time to take care of your own needs; don’t become a martyr to a cause. You give love freely to others, and if you are not careful you may be deceived by people who would take advantage of your generosity.

With your ability to see all the flaws in society, you may feel like rejecting the world altogether. Your life probably will not be one of the Cinderella or Prince Charming of your dreams, but you will eventually see that this is all part of your karmic experience in this lifetime. Learn to think positively and be grateful for small gifts and talents as well as large ones.

You are not afraid to work hard for what you believe in, but you sometimes tend to overlook your own needs in the process. Be sure not to drain yourself totally by giving all your energy to others. This can lead to physical problems of your own, such as alcoholism, chronic cold or flu. Don’t be ashamed to satisfy your own needs in life.

Since you are subject to wild swings in mood, you need a mate who is more stable than you are. In turn you can give them pure, unselfish, transformative love and compassion.
Mercury in Taurus

Although it may take you longer than others to master a concept, once you have done so it becomes a permanent part of you. You have many interests and want to absorb every detail you can about them all. While you may read theories in books, you will learn best by actually applying them in material form. You appreciate good craftsmanship and have the patience to acquire such skills yourself. Although you appreciate beauty for its own sake, you always look for a practical application for everything.

With Mercury in Taurus you are highly intuitive, yet intellectually grounded. You appreciate art, romance and the finer things in life, and you will share your good fortune with loved ones. Being sight-oriented, you get more enjoyment from reading a book than listening to a lecture. You are not a good listener and have a talent for tuning out unwanted and intrusive sounds as if they didn’t exist. It is difficult for you to learn to put the needs of others before your own. If this is the case, one of your greatest lessons in this life will be to overcome self-absorption.

With your shrewd business mind and common sense, you could be a good manager. Your mind is strong enough to endure challenges, and you are stubborn enough to insist that regulations be followed to the letter. Since you love to accumulate material possessions, you should resist the temptation to be greedy. You express affection for your partner in a touching and loving manner.
Venus in Pisces

You are highly emotional and like to be “tuned in” to your lover’s needs. As a lover you are very gentle and caring, and you seek a lover who offers you the same treatment. With Venus in Pisces, you tend to be attracted to “stray puppies” — people who need to be loved and saved from their sorry lot in life. Just be careful that you don’t take on the problems of others to the point that they become your own. Other people need the chance to learn and grow through solving their own problems.

Since you tend to idealize your mate instead of seeing their bad qualities as well as their good, you set yourself up for disappointment in love by expecting your partner to be perfect. Once you commit yourself to a relationship, you become very dedicated. Just be careful that you do not allow your partner to mistreat you. There is no need for you to be a martyr to love.

Sensitivity and compassion are qualities that you appreciate in a lover. You especially would like to have a lover who can intuit your needs psychically so that you don’t even have to articulate them. But be realistic–your partner doesn’t have a crystal ball. Be willing to communicate directly at least part of the time.

You may carry karmic baggage from other lives into this lifetime. This placement has produced many martyrs and sacrificial lambs. Your partner should be someone whom you feel you can truly trust, because you are prone to deception in matters of the heart. You are a tender and sensitive lover, and you seek spiritual rather than just sexual union with your mate.
Mars in Leo

With Mars in Leo, you are highly creative and artistically talented. You also have the enthusiasm, dedication and ambition required to put these gifts to good use. And, unlike some other Mars placements, you will not be modest or shy about it.

You are impulsive and passionate about most everything in life, no matter what age you may be. The only danger of this Mars placement is that pride may make you stubborn and quarrelsome. Don’t let your pride get you into difficult situations. Know when to say you’re not physically up to an impossible challenge. Otherwise, you could strain your body, and specifically your heart.

You are a warm, loyal and open lover and are extremely generous with your partner. You don’t have much patience for elaborate courting rituals, but you are a very attentive lover once the ice has been broken. You will go to extreme lengths to make your lovemaking sessions perfect and to be creative in the bedroom. Be sure not to steal the show, though; let your partner come up with his or her own ideas.

Mars in Leo gives you the gift of being able to make any love affair or romantic situation a magical one. You treat your lover like royalty, and you are very pleased if they return the favor. Most of all, your partner must respect you and allow you to maintain your dignity (the famous Leo pride). You would not be happy, for instance, with someone who was obnoxious or otherwise embarrassed you in public.
Jupiter in Aries

You have an over-abundance of energy and physical stamina, and you enjoy an active lifestyle (although you don’t always think things through before acting). With your optimistic lifestyle, you take on challenges others would avoid because you believe you cannot fail. You can inspire others with your bubbly enthusiasm. You don’t mind hard work, but you don’t like taking orders. For this reason, persons with Jupiter in Aries are often self-employed.
Saturn in Aquarius

You have tremendous self-discipline and stamina, and you do not waste your energy on needless tasks. When making plans, you are very practical and careful to be well prepared. Sometimes your goals may seem so important to you that you overlook others’ needs to achieve their goals as well. Be tolerant and forgiving of others, even if they are not as “together” as you are. You have a keenly developed mind; your challenge in this lifetime is to develop good relations with others.
Uranus in Virgo

(1961-1969)

You have a sharp, analytical mind, and you will use it to find workable solutions to the many ills of society. You are interested in alternative forms of healing, such as psychic healing and herbal treatments. Since you are cautious by nature, you will think through all your ideas thoroughly to be sure no details are overlooked. One of your challenges is to learn to listen to your intuition rather than just your rational mind.
Neptune in Scorpio

(1955-1970)

You are driven to uncover the deepest secrets within society, and you have a keen interest in metaphysical sciences. With your strong desire for physical pleasures, you must avoid overindulging in food, drink, sex or drugs in an attempt to escape the tension of daily life.
Pluto in Virgo

(1956-1972)

Your generation saw the birth of social reforms, such as free medical clinics and food banks. Chemicals also became popular, and many miracle drugs were discovered. There was also renewed interest in organic health foods, vitamins and herbal remedies. You have a strong desire to achieve perfection. Avoid being too critical of yourself or others.
North Node in Cancer

You have spent many lifetimes accumulating wealth and managing others. Although you achieved material success and gained the respect of your peers, you did so without regard for the needs of others. During this lifetime you feel compelled to succeed in order to regain the respect you once had. You control your emotions very well and are not easy to get close to. Although you may feel others are neglecting you, you have put up a wall to keep them away. Your challenge is to give nourishment as well as receive it.
Chiron in Pisces

You are highly sensitive and intuitive, and probably have keen psychic abilities. With your strong sense of compassion, healing comes naturally to you, and you may enter a career in the healing arts. In your personal and professional lives, you tend to take on the feelings of those around you, and at times it may be necessary for you to get away and find alone time to “find yourself” again.

You are highly idealistic, and you have a sincere desire to somehow help make the world a better place. You truly want to see the best in everyone and everything, and for this reason you can sometimes be misled or deceived. Be willing to question the truth of what someone tells you if your intuition tells you something is not right. Listen to your inner guidance, and you will always appreciate the underlying lessons in life’s daily events.
Planets in Aspect

Moon conjunct Venus (Strength: 6.62)

You are sincere in your relations with others. You make friends easily, and can make adjustments to new friends to allow them to feel comfortable with you. You are also quite sensitive, and your feelings are easily hurt by harshness or rudeness. You try to be civil to everyone, even those who are not civil to you. You can also be quite tactful and diplomatic. Your mood can be so “nice,” that people may wonder whether you have ulterior motives, and they may distrust you for this reason.

You take great pride in your personal appearance. Your type of loving is gentle and sensitive, though passionate and intense. You are good at anticipating your lover’s needs and satisfying them. This often results in a good marriage for natives with this aspect.

Your youth was a pleasant one, and you enjoy having a comfortable home of your own as an adult. You are generous with others less fortunate than you. This is not to ease your conscience, but because you genuinely are concerned about others.

Your one problem in relationships is that you will have a hard time adjusting to thinking in terms of a couple. You are used to having only yourself to please. You must also be careful not to bring your family into the relationship.
Sun trine Uranus (Strength: 6.38)

You are highly creative and have great leadership ability. Your personal magnetism makes you a pleasure to be around, and your understanding of people attracts many to you. Over the years you have learned to exploit your considerable creative abilities and to make good use of your talents. You enjoy the success you achieve, but you don’t generally let it go to your head.

With your abundance of ideas you can accomplish most anything you set out to do. Success comes relatively easy to you (unless other aspects in your chart strongly contradict this). You would benefit greatly from an occupation in social services, education, counseling, or spiritually oriented programs. These jobs would provide you with the good feeling that you had done something for others, which is the reward you really seek.

You have an uncanny ability to tell when someone needs your help. Unconsciously, you project your own positive energy toward those who are down. You are always willing to listen to others’ hardships, and you give generously of yourself.

In love relationships you openly express your feelings and need a partner who is similarly inclined. Your partner will benefit from your optimism and enthusiasm for life. You deal well with emotional changes in a relationship and may have to be understanding if your partner does not. You are highly imaginative and inventive in lovemaking.
Mercury square Saturn (Strength: 4.35)

Your childhood conditioning inhibits your efforts to exploit your imaginative potential. Your thinking is somewhat traditional, and it may be difficult for you adapt to changing trends and new ideas. Change does not come easy for you because of your inner insecurities, and your opinions can seem rather narrow-minded to others.

You were probably a slow learner in school and resented having to maintain good grades. It’s not that you are academically incapable, you are just somewhat lazy mentally. If it takes more than minimal effort to complete a task, you become depressed. This results in lack of enthusiasm in exploring your creative potential. You don’t like competition because of your own lack of confidence in your abilities. Try to keep pace with the many changes taking place in the world around you; this is the only way you will make progress.

If you can brush aside the above negative feelings, you can make plans to carry out your ideas. Instead of fearing defeat, be brave enough to accept reality. Instead of moping about how you can’t do something, make changes so that you can. Use the lessons of your past to help you in the future instead of dwelling on regrets over “spilt milk.” If you can maintain a positive attitude and learn to accept change, you could be successful in education, politics, science, natural resource conservation, government service or architecture.

Be sure you read all the fine print in any legal documents that you sign; you can become quite vengeful if you are crossed. You resent authority on the job and can become very bitter if you are passed over for a promotion you think you deserve. If this should happen to you, look again at yourself and make sure your performance is up to snuff instead of whining over sour grapes. A positive attitude will get you much further in life.

In relationships you may have difficulty communicating your needs to your partner. This is not because you lack verbal skills, but because you are afraid your partner will not approve of your requests. Resist any temptation to nag your lover. Instead, try some constructive criticism–and you need deliver your comments only once.
Mars square Neptune (Strength: 3.15)

Your attempts to assert yourself often result in turmoil for you and/or for others. Therefore, you swing from one extreme to the other–asserting your needs powerfully at times and at others slipping into a state of total apathy.

It would be best if you could be self-employed or at least manage to work alone in your occupation. Because of your need to serve others, you would do well in the field of medicine and healing or social services. This way you can assert yourself and serve others at the same time. Also, if you work alone you will have no one but yourself to blame when things go wrong, which may be difficult for you since you tend to point fingers at others.

You lead a somewhat sexually repressed life although your sexual needs are significant. You suffer from anxieties regarding your sexuality (probably carried over from parental conditioning around sex) and therefore find it difficult to find satisfaction in this area.

Also, you may be attracted to persons who are unavailable, perhaps because they are already married. And then you languish in guilt over fulfilling your desires with someone who does not belong to you. Sometimes you find it more convenient to see your lover as you wish them to be rather than as they really are. You tend to lower your standards when choosing a lover and end up with someone who is interested in you primarily for sex. You may feel bitter when you are disappointed in love, but you really have only yourself to blame for setting it up that way.

You can be accident-prone at times, and you should avoid occupations which require the use of heavy machinery and other mechanical devices. You are also more subject than most to infections and disease, so you should be very careful with your health. Watch your diet and hygienic practices.
Mercury opposite Neptune (Strength: 0.65)

You are very idealistic, and you are often disappointed in your relationships with others because you expect them to live up to your unrealistic expectations. You are naturally suspicious and will not tolerate dishonesty in others. Once you have decided to let down your defenses and trust someone, you take it very harshly if they let you down.

Because you are highly sensitive, it is best if you work behind the scenes and allow someone else to do the negotiating and public relations work. If you perform these tasks yourself, others will detect your suspicion and will be antagonized by you. You should choose a career which allows you to express your powerful creative and artistic abilities. Allow yourself to express your ideas creatively without trying to compare your work with anyone else’s. Develop your own skills to the max; you are quite unique.

In your love life your suspicious nature can work against you. You fall into love rather easily and become fascinated with your partner, so that you must learn to distinguish between love and infatuation. In order to improve communication in your relationships, always speak your mind when something is bothering you. Otherwise, your partner will find it difficult to understand and meet your needs.

You will be happiest with a lover whose judgment you respect, who can offer you a “reality check” when you are in doubt. A practical partner would also help to put some of your many creative ideas into practice.
Uranus in a quintile aspect to Neptune (Strength: 0.60)

You were born during a time when there was a great deal of unrest among America’s youth (in the mid to late 1960s). Our universities were the breeding ground for revolutionary minds, and young adults began crying out against social injustice and corrupt governments. As you mature and come into power, your generation will complete the tasks begun in the late 1960s. Therefore, you and others born during this time period have retained the quality of that time. You are a revolutionary thinker, and you are suspicious of any attempt by organizations or governments to withhold or distort truths in an attempt to control the masses.

Persons with this aspect will insist on living life their way. They will not compromise their values and will not hesitate to loudly voice their opinions. People born during this time become social activists very young and will be quick to demand that their interests be represented in government. Individual rights are very important to members of your generation, and you will not be forced into anything. And you will not hesitate to take on City Hall if you deem it necessary.

In your love life, you may find it easier to relate to those close to your own age, for they will share the perspective of this aspect.
Jupiter inconjunct Uranus (Strength: 0.21)

Your life goals may change radically several times during your life. This is largely because you are unrealistic in your expectations and tend to “bite off more than you can chew.” Learn to be more cautious in assessing your goals and to exercise self-discipline and self-imposed management in order to achieve them. Don’t let the opinions or advice of others determine your expectations of yourself. Set your own standards no matter what anyone else wants from you.

Perhaps it would be best for you to hire a business manager or consult a close and trustworthy friend who can act as a counselor to you when you are faced with major decisions. If you do find someone to advise you, you will need to learn that you must not only ask for advice, you must take it. Ultimately, you are in charge of deciding your fate. It doesn’t hurt to listen to advice so long as you use your own judgment as to which to accept.

In a career you would do well in medicine, law, education or research. In order to succeed, it is imperative that you organize your priorities and plan carefully to achieve them. Since you are basically easy-going, others may try to take advantage of your good graces. Be willing to stand up for your own rights if you are challenged.

You tend to overreact to your partner’s expectations in affairs of the heart. You have so much love to give that you don’t always make sure the other person feels the same way. You lavish others with affection and declarations of love before they are ready for it. Relax and realize that you don’t have to prove how much you love anyone. They will know it is there.

Be sure to take time from your busy schedule to rest, for this is important for your physical health and well-being. Do not overindulge in food, drink, drugs, etc.
Moon conjunct Jupiter (Strength: 0.13)

You become emotionally involved in the affairs of society and the world as a whole. In fact you can make an important contribution to the well-being of society as a whole because you have a deep understanding of society’s problems and insight into solutions. Your concern for others is genuine and sincere, and you will always offer your help when others are in need.

Although you may not be aware of it, you have a reputation for being generous and helpful to others. You may even offer shelter for those who are down and out. You learned early in life that is indeed more blessed to give than receive, and others admire this quality in you.

As a parent, you strive to encourage your children to follow your lead in serving others. They admire your strong faith in the most hopeless of situations; you always expect a change for the better. You feel an obligation to help raise others’ consciousness when you see the need, and your counsel is often well received.

You would do well in an occupation such as social work, public relations, rehabilitation, counseling, and other areas in which you would work a great deal with the underprivileged and handicapped members of society. It is possible that you will travel internationally in your career, such as with the Peace Corps, VISTA, CARE, etc. You would also excel in medicine, law and even religion; all of these require understanding, compassion and a certain amount of spiritual insight. You may find yourself drawn to organizations that are fighting a hopeless battle against great odds.

You are generally admired and respected by others, especially your close friends and family. In some way or another you will establish a legacy of your own to leave behind to those who carry on after you. Just be sure that you take some time for yourself during your crusade; this is very important for your physical and mental health. Don’t be afraid to ask for help with your own burdens.
Balance of Elements and Modalities

Abundant Earth

You are in touch with the real world. More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way. Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age. Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well. You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them. Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types. You know how to establish a pace and keep it.

Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here — to which others may be more sensitive than you. Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched. Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve. You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull. If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn’t everything and try to be more spontaneous. Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).
Abundant Water

In your case, the heart rules the head. Your emotional drives are strong and you act primarily on the basis of your feelings. Whether your feelings are purely personal, interpersonal, or transpersonal is up to you, but generally you are a life-oriented person who feels keenly and who acts to support your family, friends, and community. You are happiest when you are in a caring relationship with a significant other. That person should be comfortable with the emotional closeness that you bring to relationships, while providing the structure or inspiration that you need. Some of your friends will not be as comfortable with emotional closeness as you are, and you will have to respect their boundaries. You have probably learned over the years how to keep your sensitive nature from being hurt. Don’t permanently withdraw, but find the people with whom and the environment in which you can be yourself.

Because of your sensitivity, you easily pick up others’ thoughts and feelings. You can anticipate others’ needs before they have expressed them. You can usually rely on your intuition when it comes to forecasting the outcome of personal and career decisions. If you decide to use your psychic abilities for healing, learn to let go of the negative feelings that you process from others. Since you are so sensitive, find quiet moments for private introspection in which you can reconnect with what you feel instead of what others feel. You also find it revitalizing to be around large bodies of water.

You do have a need to stop and think things through before acting. Make the effort to communicate with others who may have a more objective viewpoint or who could see solutions that elude you. You can sometimes be criticized for acting from a purely personal perspective, which you could avoid by learning and respecting society’s larger viewpoint. You can be very creative in finding paths to your personal goals. Keep the larger viewpoint in mind and later you will not have to try to rationalize to others why you chose those paths.
Lack of Air

Expressing yourself does not come easily to you. You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers. It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking. If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked. Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational. With the mind’s normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience. Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.

Try to see life less personally, in a more objective way. Take classes and never stop educating yourself.

A lack of planets in Air signs can be offset by an Air sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Relationships.
Lack of Fire

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way. You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership. You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive. Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

A lack of planets in Fire signs can be offset by a Fire sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Life.
Abundant Fixed

With an abundance of planets in Fixed signs, you have the staying power to complete a project, grow a family, or expand a business. Your strength is what friends notice most about you. You have definite values; you focus your affections on the people and things that are part of your team. Friendships formed over time are important to you. You may be found at the center of a circle of friends, a large family, a government agency, or a business. You understand the contribution that stability and security make to prosperity and growth. It throws you off-balance when friends are not as reliable as you are or when love and ideals are not part of your life. Concentrate on developing confidence in yourself, a wholesome world for your family or group, and binding others to you with love. If you have a weakness, it is trouble changing or listening when people tell you a better way to do things. You can handle this weakness by empowering your team, as among them will be individuals who are good at reacting to a constantly changing world.
Abundant Mutable

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone’s friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others’ needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.
Lack of Cardinal

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

A lack of planets in the Cardinal signs can be offset by a Cardinal sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Angular houses.

Introduction

This Spirit Success Report from Halloran Software’s AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program draws upon 576 paragraphs which interpret the places of the planets at the time of your birth, describing your personal houses, sign placements, and planetary aspects.

These astrological delineations depict your potential and how to make the most of it, or the challenges you will continue to face and how to confront and benefit from them. Though you may change through experience, your inherent characteristics will still motivate how you act and react to circumstances. How you handle yourself is really a clue to your success, and it is up to you to make the “right” choices.

Here are the parts which make up your chart:

HOUSES: Govern sections of your life, e.g., your money, your health, your partners, etc. They are also meaningful as to where your early interests lie and if they are worth pursuing.

SIGNS: Contribute feelings or vibrations to “color” planets, e.g., MERCURY rules GEMINI and VIRGO and emphasizes their qualities of thought, travel, health, and work. JUPITER rules SAGITTARIUS and higher education, spiritual growth, and law.

ASPECTS: Are angles combining the planets in the SIGNS/HOUSES that trigger the manner in which you will be influenced or can handle your qualities to advantage, e.g., MERCURY (thought) TRINE (in good aspect to) JUPITER (education and law) may indicate that you can succeed as a counselor in legal matters.

A “Strength” number precedes each ASPECT interpretation towards the end of the reading. This number synthesizes how exact is the aspect, whether the aspect is major or minor, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles. The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to live it out in your life.

You are most likely to feel and act out the Spirit Success Report’s sign and house placement interpretations when the planets involved are strong in your chart. This is true especially of the outer planets, Jupiter through Pluto. The Astrodynes program, also available from Halloran Software, calculates the respective power and harmony of all the planets in your chart.
Planets in Signs

Sun in Taurus

(Keynote: I OWN)

You have deep material and spiritual concerns and are patient, kind, romantic and firm in your resolves. You are also capable of being stubborn, unyielding, self-indulgent, possessive and jealous. You enjoy tangibles that have weight and intrinsic worth, and display your assets and achievements prominently. Your aesthetic hunger makes you a patron of the arts. You will forgive, but not forget an injustice. A need for security can override your integrity, but you will defend your means to achieve an end because you cannot accept yourself if others find you wanting.
Moon in Scorpio

(The Warrior)

Your ability to attract is so powerful that you can bring about almost anything you wish — and some things that you would rather evade. Your emotions are intense and close to the surface. You project them into your manner, and when you speak it is usually with authority so that others are compelled to listen. You are self-reliant and would rather fight your battles alone with the confidence you will emerge as victor. You are as determined in love as you are in conflicts, but few understand the intensity of your dominant nature or have a desire to endure your possessiveness.
Mercury in Gemini

(The Versatile)

Your geniality plus a sense-of-humor contributes to social graces that make you a welcome addition to any group. Your lack of patience encourages you to store trivia instead of knowledge, while limited concentration makes you an uncertain student. You usually accept people at face value; since you are more interested in quantity rather than the quality of companions, you enjoy changing relationships often, but pride yourself on “never losing a friend.”
Venus in Taurus

(The Voluptuary)

You love comfort, luxury and things that appeal to your senses. You are a party-giver, with a liking for rich foods, and a particular fondness for chocolate. Music is a major part of your life and strongly affects your moods. Dissonance produces nervousness and harmony soothes and quiets you. You are a traditionalist who enjoys the security of the tried-and-true and are not given to accepting the unconventional without a thorough understanding of a need for change.
Mars in Taurus

(The Juggernaut)

You may disregard your instincts for harmony, patience and even the practicality for which you are known and stubbornly “bull” your way towards your ambitions. You will work to capacity and, one way or another, gain all-important financial rewards; then find someone to share your affections as well as your success. You are a “powerhouse” who can manifest what you dream, enjoy what you earn, and discover the symmetry necessary to maintain the stability you require.
Jupiter in Aquarius

(The Cosmopolitan)

You are truly liberal in your humanitarian views. What some call “idealistic,” you practice as a way of life. You sympathize with minority needs and work with the majority to improve mankind. Visionary gifts allow you a glimpse of the future. If you succeed in your efforts to enrich the world, it will be a far better place in which to live.
Saturn in Leo

(The Haughty)

You may have trouble in sharing all the love you have to give or finding the love you crave, and so allow an “I don’t care” attitude to become a mask, under which you hide your true feelings. You can also substitute imperiousness for emotional rapport and again deny your basic needs. Try to go with the world instead of against it. You may find a way to turn your negatives positive and enjoy the spin instead of just becoming dizzy and wanting to get off.
Uranus in Gemini

(The Clairvoyant)

Your facility to see clearly where others are perplexed separates you from the norm. You may obtain an education in unorthodox ways, but have the ability to distinguish yourself in the field of science, perhaps in space technology. Your “Buck Rogers” mentality will bring you some regard, but also can provoke criticism as being too eccentric to be practical. You may find a way to jar humanity from today’s complaisant rut and into the expansive future of tomorrow.
Neptune in Libra

(The Influenced)

You are subject to peer pressure which may not always serve your best interests. Because you are an idealist, you may be drawn into causes that are without substance. You seldom attempt anything alone, and prefer groups to a partner. If your dreams don’t interfere with the reality of a material world, you can inspire others to adopt altruistic ways of living. It is your belief that what we have is not as important as our willingness to share it.
Pluto in Leo

(The Agitated)

Your ability to keep things at a fever pitch needs careful regulating to avoid constant upheaval in your life and the lives of others. Your senses are keen. Use them to recognize a need for transforming human affairs. Take your place in bettering your environment by helping others to better theirs. It is preferable to accept the accolades of your peers for your good work than to indulge the self-aggrandizement negatively associated with your sign.
North Node in Aries

(The Uncertain)

You project confidence, but are plagued with doubt that you can produce all that you promise. You dislike calling others for assistance because it means exposing your soft underbelly. When you learn you have many supporters waiting to follow your lead, you may discover that “your own person” is the “you” you wanted to be all along.
Planets in Aspect

Sun opposite Moon (Strength: 6.52)

(The Tug O’War)

You feel that others do not understand you and constantly oppose your ideas or goals. Close relationships suffer if you vent anger or resentment. At times, you may feel pulled in two directions. If your life is one of endless indecision and emotional turmoil, you must recognize that the conflict is within you. Rely on inner feelings to validate your actions. In times of stress you will find what “works for you” and use your enormous energy in a positive manner.
Mercury trine Neptune (Strength: 5.87)

(The Sentimental)

You are a romantic who enjoys fantasizing dreams. You will not be easily discouraged if you exercise a talent for writing. There are those who will appreciate your efforts. You can be a daydreamer, but are also in touch with reality. Though you may dislike discipline, you are capable of using it to achieve your aims. Because of your affinity with humanity, you may sacrifice to help others, validating the spiritual insight inherent in your sympathetic nature.
Venus square Saturn (Strength: 4.71)

(The Rigid)

You expect relationships to conform to your standards, which can make a bonding permanent but sacrifice the interaction of stimulation and growth. In business or personal partnerships, it is impossible to hold a line that is altogether unbending and expect everyone to be happy within its perimeters. Communication is vital to your unions to find ways to endure that will not make you feel isolated or alone, even though you are bound to one another.
Saturn sextile Uranus (Strength: 2.98)

(The Offset)

You manage a balance between the conventional and the innovative to pursue your own methods of accomplishing your aims. Because you understand equal value in both sides of a coin, you employ the patience required to set foundations under new platforms for structures of lasting value. You may also adopt unusual concepts as an intricate part of your lifestyle, so again achieve a harmony of creativity and established ideas with a high rate of acceptance by others.
Neptune sextile Pluto (Strength: 2.65)

(The Self-aware)

It is important that you have the support of your family and friends. You are extremely sensitive and subject yourself to self-criticism that can be destructive and depressing. It may be that you need professional help to build your self-esteem. Later, you may transfer your intense feelings into knowledge you share with others. You may pursue a career in psychiatry or psychology, but will continue to investigate your own psyche for answers as to what “makes you tick.”
Mercury sextile Pluto (Strength: 2.52)

(The Researcher)

Your favorite question may be “Why?” and you will not be content with superficial answers. You have the drive and persistence to penetrate the heart of any matter that piques your curiosity. Once you are sure of your facts, you seldom change your mind. The same is true of your opinion of others. You may investigate a relationship before getting involved, and will either become a friend for life or turn your back on an association you are sure will go nowhere.
Venus trine Jupiter (Strength: 2.07)

(The Contented)

You are happy with who you are, where you are and what you are, so are pleasantly agreeable as a friend or social companion. The only thing that may prevent you from becoming rich and/or famous is your tendency to take it easy and your belief that tomorrow will take care of itself. This may or not be true, but you will never know if you don’t summon the energy to round a corner and see for yourself how you may enhance your dreams and bring them to fruition.
Mars square Pluto (Strength: 1.03)

(The Imperious)

You may trip over your ego as you determine your goals and act in your own behalf to the exclusion of others. You are aware of strength and unusual power to confront the world, but if you force your way rather than prove your worth, you are sure to attract power struggles which will impede your progress. Question your values in your rise to success to discover whether you are acting and reacting from vanity or a genuine desire to improve your position through hard work.
Jupiter inconjunct Saturn (Strength: 0.36)

(The Waverer)

Unwillingness to accept half-way measures may result in ambivalence. You tend to blow “hot or cold,” and be overboard or strictly reserved in opinions and actions. Others are unsure of your intentions. You may also experience extremes in the way others treat you. Being too set in your ways can result in holdups or stoppage of your best-laid plans, or you may act in haste and have second-thoughts too late to rectify your recklessness. Walk a middle-road to achieve success.
Sun conjunct Venus (Strength: 0.28)

(The Socialite)

You are refined and cultured with a love of the arts and beautiful things. Because a day without fun is depressing, you make yourself attractive and available and are usually where something entertaining is going on. You can become self-indulgent and conceited, believing money and looks will take you farther than is reasonable, but when you see that “Pretty is as Pretty does,” will try to develop inner qualities to complement the glamorous image you project.
Moon square Pluto (Strength: 0.27)

(The Durable)

Constant challenges for change control your deepest feelings because your emotional turbulence can be destructive. Power struggles with others indicate power struggles within yourself which must be brought to light for resolution. Sometimes you will be attracted to that which is absolutely wrong for you but will pursue it anyway to your detriment. Recognize your difficulties as opportunities for evolvement. You have more than adequate fortitude to survive and benefit.
Balance of Elements and Modalities

Abundant Earth

You are in touch with the real world. More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way. Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age. Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well. You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them. Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types. You know how to establish a pace and keep it.

Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here — to which others may be more sensitive than you. Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched. Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve. You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull. If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn’t everything and try to be more spontaneous. Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).
Abundant Air

You seem to live for mental exploration. Discovering and communicating the connections between ideas, people, and places is your function in life. Your active mind is good at identifying new frontiers whose basics you quickly master, so that you end up knowing something about almost everything. You have a dispassionate nature that cooly considers the pros and cons of a situation, able to place logic above personal emotion. From your mental viewpoint, emotions look irrational. You make a good negotiator, sales person, communicator, arbitrator, analyst, and information processor. Ideas flow quickly for you. While impersonal and dispassionate, you nonetheless thrive on communication and social interaction. At your best, you strive to understand and accept people, not to change them. Courageously, you adhere to principles. You appreciate culture, structure, and systems.

Your greatest strength is also your weakness, namely too much coolness from placing head above heart. Leaders must be able to follow their hearts without being indecisive or equivocating. And you ignore your real connection to others if you use your mental gifts to coldly manipulate them. Try to avoid isolation by functioning as part of a team in which your logic, analysis, and communication skills are put to good use. Work with others who may be more practical, sensitive, or passionate than are you. Don’t keep your good ideas inside, but write them down and communicate them to others.
Lack of Fire

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way. You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership. You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive. Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

A lack of planets in Fire signs can be offset by a Fire sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Life.
Lack of Water

For you the world of feelings may be terra incognita. Close interpersonal relations, which require the expression of feelings, and empathy for others’ feelings, do not come naturally or easily for you. You have difficulty putting yourself in someone else’s shoes in order to feel what they feel. You will learn how to deal with life in a tough, mental sort of way. People looking for someone to empathize with them should not come to you. Those people who are comfortable with you are not looking for emotional closeness. It’s not that you don’t have emotions and feelings, but they do not come out easily in your relationships. If you are an artist, they may come out in your art. You probably take refuge from the difficulty of forming emotional connections by concentrating on intellectual, practical, or inspired activity. Your best companions would be those who are able to inhabit these realms with you, but who are also in touch with their feelings. They can help you to contact your own feelings and teach you to respect and honor other people’s feelings.

A lack of planets in Water signs can be offset by a Water sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Endings.
Abundant Fixed

With an abundance of planets in Fixed signs, you have the staying power to complete a project, grow a family, or expand a business. Your strength is what friends notice most about you. You have definite values; you focus your affections on the people and things that are part of your team. Friendships formed over time are important to you. You may be found at the center of a circle of friends, a large family, a government agency, or a business. You understand the contribution that stability and security make to prosperity and growth. It throws you off-balance when friends are not as reliable as you are or when love and ideals are not part of your life. Concentrate on developing confidence in yourself, a wholesome world for your family or group, and binding others to you with love. If you have a weakness, it is trouble changing or listening when people tell you a better way to do things. You can handle this weakness by empowering your team, as among them will be individuals who are good at reacting to a constantly changing world.
Lack of Cardinal

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

Lack of Mutable

With a lack of planets in the Mutable signs, you probably go your own way in life without caring too much what other people think. You know what you want and see little need to compromise. You lack flexibility and adaptability. You do best when you can establish a pace and stick to it. Leave those sports and activities that require fast reactions and adaptability to others.

Sometimes you say things that offend others, because you are not especially concerned with the feelings or opinions of others. In fact, you sometimes appall your friends with your single-mindededness and lack of sensitivity. Because of your individuality, people who are attracted to change and variety may find you stimulating at first, but after a while might find your predictability to be boring. This is unlikely to keep you from pursuing your path. Your path involves being yourself and changing the world. Just don’t insist that others be like you.
