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 Leo

 

(Keynote: I WILL)

 

You are passionate, sincere, generous, courageous and loyal.  You may also be demanding, possessive, jealous and intolerant.  You are a champion of causes and defender of the helpless in time of need — the stuff of which heroes are made.  You resist accepting second-best of anything.  You are at your best when given dramatic license to take center-stage, with all eyes upon you.  Your word is your bond, but you can be unreasonable if things don’t go your way.  Try not to confuse the courage of your convictions with inordinate stubbornness, which is usually the source of your downfall.

 

 

 

Moon in Leo

 

(The Prominent)

 

Everything is a “big deal” in your life.  You expand both the negatives and positives and express yourself dramatically. You are a “head-turner,” like the attention you attract, are generous with your money and enjoy being thought of as a “big-time spender.”  Your organizational ability, coupled with your self-confidence and popularity, often places you ahead of your competition in business, though you must watch a tendency to become “bossy.”  If you are too self-indulgent, you should call upon your natural honesty and recognize it as a fault which may be difficult to overcome.

 

 

Mercury in Virgo

 

(The Interpreter)

 

You read people well and have an insight that is valuable in all types of relationships.  Your interest in health can lead towards promoting natural ways of improvement in diet and disciplined exercise.  If your efforts go unappreciated, you may become hypercritical and distance people with a superior attitude.  You are a tireless worker and once committed, will spend a lifetime at a task requiring painstaking application, which others would consider monotonous.

 

 

Venus in Leo

 

(The Extravagant)

 

Your infatuation with luxury prods you towards compulsive buying.  You enjoy lavishing expensive gifts, dining or theater-going whether you can afford it or not.  If you cannot manage the lifestyle you covet, you may try to create an illusion of opulence as a fantasy world of your own and discover gifts as a decorator or designer.  Consider finding a way to utilize your talents in some form of theater that will attract the attention and plaudits you relish.

 

 

Mars in Scorpio

 

(The Excessive)

 

Many are attracted to your powerful magnetism, but may be frightened by the intensity with which you approach life in general and your desires in particular.  You are in touch with your emotions, and may be governed by them so need discipline to succeed.  You live on a grandiose scale.  Everything is magnified by ten-plus and receives the full force of your energy until you are satisfied with your achievements.  You are an unrelenting foe and the most magnanimous of friends.

 

 

Jupiter in Capricorn

 

(The Traditionalist)

 

You may need to relax your conventionally-narrow views, to gamble now and then on human nature to prevail in the face of overwhelming obstacles.  Once you have decided to reveal yourself as the fine, understanding person you are, you should have no trouble taking your place successfully in public office, where you can lead the masses to enlightenment.

 

 

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 Sagittarius

 

(The Diviner)

 

You are amazingly accurate in forecasting events or circumstances that come about.  You have a good grasp of logic, so are unlikely to exceed your gifts, but use them to research areas that may contribute to the future of mankind. You are unconventional in your beliefs, fearless in your concepts, and may adopt philosophy rather than religion as a guideline.  You should introduce prudence into your restless nature to create wisdom you may share with others.

 

 

Neptune in Sagittarius

 

(The Sage)

 

You have a talent for understanding human nature and an uncanny ability to know what makes people “tick.”  You are a perpetual student, and a gifted teacher.  Your thirst for knowledge will prompt you to travel extensively.  Try to remember that you must accept the customs of another country before they will accept you.  Your beliefs are unconventional.  You will continue to learn by experience and teach in love as did Plato, Socrates and their descendants in spirit.

 

 

Pluto in Libra

 

(The Rational)

 

As peacemaker, it is second-nature to act as liaison in fostering partnerships that contribute to world-harmony.  Your high intellect and demand for justice may place you in public service where you can aid worthy causes by your involvement. Your love of truth may influence big business, where deceit will be overcome with honor.  On an individual level, all this may be accomplished by setting an example through the simple amenities you practice every day.

 

 

North Node in Gemini

 

(The Whirlwind)

 

You try to stay so busy that personal commitment is impossible.  If you take on more than you can handle, you cannot blame yourself for “failures.”  You feel your education is inadequate.  True communication is never one-sided.  Allow others to voice their questions and opinions while you prepare answers gleaned from the worthwhile knowledge you possess.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon square Mars  (Strength:  6.61)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon conjunct Venus  (Strength:  5.13)

 

(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.

 

 

Mercury trine Jupiter  (Strength:  5.01)

 

(The Assertive)

 

You have big plans which you like to discuss with others.  You exchange ideas and receive the support of your friends. Once clear in your goals, you’ll have no trouble convincing others that you know what you’re talking about and should be given a chance to prove yourself.  You are an excellent salesperson or counselor. In either case, you have the attention of others who respect your opinion and enjoy from you a positive output which contributes to your success.

 

 

Sun trine Uranus  (Strength:  3.84)

 

(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.

 

 

Venus square Mars  (Strength:  3.74)

 

(The Arduous)

 

You try too hard to secure and maintain relationships that are exciting but may be too difficult to last.  If you are not demanding, you may attract another who is, and be in constant contention with their desires.  Your attractions stem from basic creative urges, so there is a strong physical bonding between you and your partners.  Since you are very aware of your individual identity, find ways to express it without the conflicts which can disrupt your unions.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.69)

 

(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.”

 

 

Sun square Saturn  (Strength:  3.62)

 

(The Hapless)

 

You may consider yourself “unlucky,”  because you are often thwarted in justifying your efforts to be “free.”  Your lack of energy obliges you to slog forward one step at a time, but you may stubbornly refuse to examine the real reasons for depression.  More than one crisis will trigger a necessity to crack a facade you sometimes use to disguise self-doubt.  You deserve the same happiness as others.  Don’t let self-reliant pride prevent you from asking for help, if you need it.

 

 

Sun inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  2.10)

 

(The Unaware)

 

Your enthusiastic plans may be thwarted because of a lack of preparation or experience.  You may overextend yourself in your hurry to expand your horizons.  Self-indulgence can bring an end to your dreams.  Over-compensation for disappointments, in the form of excesses, can result in problems with weight or addictions which require more than willpower to overcome.  Try to invite projects that demand your best in constructive action for the lasting rewards you seek.

 

 

Mercury trine Neptune  (Strength:  1.47)

 

(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.

 

 

Jupiter conjunct Neptune  (Strength:  0.48)

 

(The Utopian)

 

Your compassion for others inspires you to try to perfect the world for all to enjoy.  Idealism can tempt you to take risks that may not pay off, or you may not have the means for social reform.  But, given encouragement to change, man can achieve what it is impossible for others to do for him.  Help others to their feet with dignity.  If your resources extend no farther than your arms can reach, you may still exemplify a prayer:  “Let there be peace, and let it begin with me.”

 

 

 

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Fire

 

You are an active, future-oriented person who is not weighed down by past commitments.  You take advantage of new opportunities better than most.  Life for you can be a vibrant affair in which you passionately pursue causes, lovers, and experiences.  You have the self-confidence to be a leader.  Competitive and flamboyant, you have little patience for slow people or unexciting work.  When an activity interests you, you can be very generous with your time, energy, and money.  Find outlets for your gifts of creativity and intuition.

 

Watch out for a tendency to exaggerate or to be insensitive to others’ feelings.  More cautious types may envy and resent your free spirit and competitive nature.  You get bored easily and may depend on others to finish the projects that you start.  When your warmth is guided by love, wisdom, and positive goals you have the ability to heal and inspire others, but when you focus on your self or lack direction, your short-lived passions can affect others in destructive ways.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.
