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 Gemini

 

(Keynote:  I THINK)

 

You are idealistic, witty, charming, inventive and active, as well as being undependable, nervous, restless and fragmented.  Your curious mind leaves few stones unturned, for you love to explore.  You are able to teach others what you have learned, and often improved upon.  Your unpredictability and uncanny intuition stimulates the imagination of your friends; you enjoy the stir you create in social settings.  You lose chances by trading commitment for superficiality. Your flexibility should allow you to choose any partner and turn the thrill of a moment into a lifetime of significance.

 

 

 

Moon in Libra

 

(The Dependent)

 

You have a burning desire to please and will go to great lengths to do so.  You cultivate an image of glamour and success, are probably a compulsive buyer and enjoy wearing distinctive and expensive clothes.  You attract easily, and are popular, but fickle.  You may be over-critical of your partners until you realize that, because you are easily-led, you need someone to help you make decisions.  You are either too lazy or insecure to try to develop much self-reliance.  A strong instinct that a special relationship is “fated” may lead you to the proper person to be your life-mate.

 

 

Mercury in Cancer

 

(The Parent)

 

Your remarkable intuition lets you see the vulnerability of your fellow man, but it may be somewhat narrow in concept. You often depend more upon feelings than rationale to treat issues in an appropriate manner.  You may tend to relive childhood experiences, which can make you moody and sometimes reclusive, if the recall is painful.  Rather than retreat, learn from experience and consider the consequences of present actions as they may affect your future.

 

 

Venus in Cancer

 

(The Protector)

 

You must be careful of “smothering” instead of “mothering” loved ones or, with the best of intentions, you may alienate them from you.  You attract those who need your help, but your own sense of security needs bolstering.   Emotional demands may draw you into studies of mysticism.  You can depend on your parents, and may be involved in a family business.  Your love of kin is paramount and will give you strength to do whatever is necessary to keep them together.

 

 

Mars in Capricorn

 

(The Enduring)

 

Your life is geared for success.  Even your close relationships can be exploited to advantage.  You are selective in your goals and methods to achieve them.  Your intuition and ambition work together to overcome obstacles that would defeat one with less fortitude.  You often burden yourself with the problems of others, viewing each as a learning experience.  You may receive your rewards late in life, but are sure to be honored for your hard work.

 

 

Jupiter in Cancer

 

(The Weight-watcher)

 

You may attract and absorb too much of a good thing, if you are a gourmet cook, or take the world’s burdens on your sympathetic shoulders.  Your acumen in business is unquestioned, but without someone to share your triumphs, you become disconsolate.  What you do for others is done from love; a day without friends is indeed a day without sunshine.

 

 

Saturn in Scorpio

 

(The Forceful)

 

The powerful image you create tempts you to thrust your ideas or will upon others, not always to their benefit — or YOURS — but just for a show of strength.  Your determination can make enemies and undermine your fine executive abilities.  Try to develop the compassion and flexibility inherent in all successful leaders.  Otherwise, your effectiveness will be limited.  You will be a champion without honor and must look to yourself for any rewards you receive.

 

 

Uranus in Cancer

 

(The Whimsical)

 

You are an uncommon, often-disruptive influence in the home.  Overly-sensitive, you can brood over imagined wrongs, but may never voice your unhappiness or resentments.  Others may not comprehend your dour moods.  You can benefit by quiet times of self-analysis.  Try to include your loved ones in discussions that will strengthen your bonds and prevent the dissension associated with your eccentricities.  Much may be accomplished by mutual understanding.

 

 

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 Capricorn

 

(The Infant)

 

You may be a “mama’s baby,” and enjoy the role, but must give up childhood pampering, or continue tossing on a sea of emotional turmoil.  When you assume adult responsibilities, you will exercise your fine qualities of honor, loyalty and discipline.  Then you will earn the respect and pride, as well as the love of parents and peers, which you have always known.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Jupiter trine Saturn  (Strength:  5.65)

 

(The Shrewd)

 

Little escapes your notice, and you believe in giving the same attention to details as to the larger picture.  You realize your potential and are realistic in your ability to achieve your goals.  You can make-do with little or manipulate your investments and holdings to advantage.  You seldom shirk responsibility and try to do what is expected of you, even if it means going an “extra mile.”  With your willingness to learn as you earn, you have every chance for success.

 

 

Venus conjunct Uranus  (Strength:  5.05)

 

(The Unsteady)

 

Many of your relationships are formed impulsively and are not of long duration.  You thrive on excitement and change partners easily.  Your friendships depend on the exhilaration of a new experience and a certain flexibility that allows you to be creative and innovative.  If the time comes when you desire stability, you must make a genuine effort to fasten on the rewards of commitment and value them above your desire for variety and the independence you have demanded and enjoyed.

 

 

Moon square Jupiter  (Strength:  3.93)

 

(The Self-indulgent)

 

You are interested in self-improvement, but may surfeit yourself with knowledge you may never use, and courses not appropriate to your lifestyle.  You are generous to a fault, but may exact payment by boasting to friends how you have traveled, studied and “lived.”  Self-improvement need not mean arrogance that can turn others from you.  Modesty will permit your exuberance for expansion to become a source of delight and interest rather than a reason for evasion and derision.

 

 

Uranus square Neptune  (Strength:  3.73)

 

(The Elusive)

 

You tend to sidestep issues you don’t want to deal with and may try to escape into unrealistic abstractions, though you see them as truth.  The world can be a confusing place in which to live, but you must address life as realistically as possible.  Yours is a challenge to find ways in which to use your unusual talents productively.  Your viewpoint is all-important, as you must discover how to adjust to circumstances that require practicality, as well as imagination.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.37)

 

(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.”

 

 

Mars opposite Jupiter  (Strength:  2.88)

 

(The Affected)

 

You often try to impress others with your abilities, which can come off as idle boasting or narcissism.  Or, you may feel discriminated against, which can be the result of selfishly pursuing your aims over the feelings of others.  You sometimes respond to promises of extravagant rewards which may not materialize and tend to overreact emotionally, which is a sure way to lose a battle.  Utilize your positive energy and assert your independence to make things happen “your way.”

 

 

Venus square Neptune  (Strength:  2.78)

 

(The Hero-worshiper)

 

Your sense of the dramatic and a bent towards illusion can lead you to project more into a relationship than exists.  You may fasten your affections on a rich or famous person.  Or, you may live beyond your means keeping up with the “Joneses.” Your refusal to accept reality can reduce you to financial or emotional bankruptcy if you insist on living on fantasy. Your lively imagination can bring you admiration for creative efforts, if you turn your energy into developing them.

 

 

Sun trine Neptune  (Strength:  1.65)

 

(The Harmonious)

 

Your innate idealism is spiritually inspired.  You believe in the “good, the true and the beautiful.”  Your relationships symbolize a wish for accord with all humanity. Do not waste your gift of a lively imagination in idle daydreams.  Coupled with an acute business acumen, it may take you far in the material world.  But, at some time you will discover a need for metaphysical growth and find a channel for expression that may be unusual but of benefit to others.

 

 

Moon square Mars  (Strength:  0.81)

 

(The Threatened)

 

You are sensitive in the extreme and may fly off the handle irrationally.  Anxieties can obscure your ability to concentrate, and make you accident-prone, so extra effort towards developing a conscious awareness is advisable.  If you are a victim of insecurities, look for counseling or ways to quiet your fears that will establish a bulwark similar to that of followers of Zen Buddhism.  Retreat within to a place of tranquility until control is established and peace restored.

 

 

Mercury opposite Mars  (Strength:  0.62)

 

(The Hostile)

 

You are your own person, a self-motivator, and have the initiative to work on your own.  However, your “me first” ego can attract those who will challenge you.  It is not so much what you say, but the way you present yourself that dares others to argue, often just for the sake of arguing.  Find a release for the energies that provoke your attitude, or you may invite accidents because you are physically trying to air hidden anger or frustrations.

 

 

Mars sextile Saturn  (Strength:  0.52)

 

(The Informed)

 

You realize your capabilities and are willing to work carefully for lasting results.  You do not take work loads as burdens, but as opportunities to improve your worth.  Your perseverance commands the respect, and sometimes attracts the dismay of others who lack your willingness to satisfy demands. You may be considered a “bookworm” or put your energies into serious tasks that others disdain, but are sure to have the last laugh when rewards are passed out.

 

 

Sun sextile Pluto  (Strength:  0.27)

 

(The Booster)

 

You have a great deal of creative energy which you may use to advance your ambitions or to promote improvements through others for a common good.  You can impress authority figures with your individuality, or may head an organization where you can exercise your abilities to increase potentials beyond established limits.  Yours is a life of never-ending expansion and elevated aims that are the result of your willingness to accept changes for the better.

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

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.

 

 

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 Earth

 

You may be so focused on the “bigger picture” that you have difficulty managing the many details of life.  Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities.  Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them.  Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit.  If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it.  Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone.  You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it.  If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.

 

A lack of planets in Earth signs can be offset by an Earth sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Substance.
