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 and Houses

 

 

Leo Ascendant

 

(The Showman)

 

Your “mane” is your crowning glory and you delight in calling attention to it by tossing your head, or twisting or curling your hair.  You are conscious of your looks and enjoy displaying yourself to advantage.  Some consider you garish, but there are others who admire your colorful personality.  If you are shy, you still have the power to draw those to you who are somehow aware of the strength, warmth and pleasantly-entertaining personality behind your obscure exterior.

 

 

 

Sun in Aries

 

(Keynote: I AM)

 

You are self-sufficient, self-motivated, and self-confident, but can be self-centered and self-destructive.  There is little that can deter you from your goals.  Your numerous friends are supportive and follow your lead.  But, you will make dangerous enemies if you are arrogant, conceited or selfish.  Then, you may reach your zenith but will have great difficulty in holding your position.  For all your self-reliance, partners are important to you.  Take others into your consideration or you will find your “top of the heap” as lonely and unfulfilling as you, yourself, have made it.

 

 

Sun in the Ninth House

 

(The Professor)

 

Your thirst for learning extends beyond the classroom.  You acquire much of your knowledge from people of different cultures or in foreign lands.  You probably have a flair for languages, making you valuable as a translator.  It is possible you will earn more than one academic degree, and function as a teacher.  One of your most admirable qualities is that, by touching the lives of others, you will come to understand that all men are brothers, separated only by self-imposed restrictions.  Share your wisdom to overcome prejudice and the bigotry which impedes the spiritual growth of all.

 

 

 

Moon in Virgo

 

(The Spartan)

 

Your outwardly-cool attitude may cause others to approach you with caution, and make friendship difficult.  You are capable of accomplishing a lot, with little to work with.  You are not particularly ambitious, but may over-emphasize your limitations.  A place in scientific research is possible, where your practical mind and attention to detail can be appreciated.  If you are too hard on yourself or others, you can destroy your chances for recognition of your excellent merits.  Digestive difficulties may occur if you fret obsessively with no outlet for your frustrations.

 

 

Moon in the Second House

 

(The Collector)

 

You may take some time to settle into a job.  Bank a portion of your paycheck — even ask someone to manage your money for you.  Otherwise you may become a compulsive spender, gathering possessions which may substitute for emotional needs.  Going it alone, you may identify too closely with your possessions.  In choosing a partner, it should be a person who is appreciative of your spiritual, as well as material growth and is willing to contribute and grow with you.

 

 

Mercury in Pisces

 

(The Unique)

 

Your uncanny intuition and psychic feelings must often be accepted on faith, alone.  It is not easy to be “different.”  You may feel oppressed or fall into depressions that confound those who care for you.  Learn to recognize “teachers” who will help you develop your special qualities.  Then, find a proper channel to present your talents, even to those who cling to orthodox beliefs.  Offer your uncommon gifts in the name of humanity on the altar of mankind.

 

 

Mercury in the Eighth House

 

(The Mentalist)

 

You will discover early-on that (in your case) “mind over matter” is more than a saying.  You have great influence over others, and will find that you, in turn, are greatly impressed by the variety of people who will cross your path.  Your interests, provoked by a desire for self-discovery, may range from the occult to psychiatry.  Use what you find to improve yourself as a useful human being, willing to share your store of knowledge with your fellow man.

 

 

Venus in Aries

 

(The Wire-walker)

 

You are an extremist who is sweetly disposed or aggressively angry in unpredictable turns.  If you decide to be a pianist, you will devote hours and months to study and practice; then trade it in on a clarinet.  Look for a balance that will keep you from impulsively falling in love, marrying, divorcing, and marrying again.  You are a handful of dynamite in an appealing package.  Only in moderation can you find the stability you need for the happiness you deserve.

 

 

Venus in the Ninth House

 

(The Idealist)

 

Your love of learning and sharing knowledge is almost certain to draw you to foreign lands.  You may even choose a career as a diplomat and live abroad.  Every man is your brother.  Every life you touch stimulates your desire to reach a higher level of spiritual being.  You benefit mankind by using your experience to educate the masses.  You are not a REVOLUTIONIST, but an EVOLUTIONIST, gathering means to feed a starving universe with fruits of your knowledge.

 

 

Mars in Pisces

 

(The Indeterminate)

 

You put much of your energy into working for social reforms or human rights.  While you are unusually focused in your endeavors, you give little thought to personal needs. You will do better for others if your life is in balance. Ambivalence, indecision, procrastination and duality create conflicts that need revision and structure.  Acknowledge your value and allow yourself freedom to grow as a reward for the charity you so generously extend to others.

 

 

Mars in the Eighth House

 

(The Broker)

 

An inner knowledge fits you to deal with people on the most basic of levels.  Through human encounter, you will continually change your life patterns, if not your goals.  Others will trust you to handle their ideas, personal conflicts and their money.  It is up to you to find ways to encourage the expansion of your associates and their assets in an objective manner without forcing an egoistic view of your personal evolution upon them.

 

 

Jupiter in Virgo

 

(The Hopeful)

 

Flashes of optimism will ease your concerns with yourself, allow you to relax, and overcome feelings of apprehension.  By being “yourself,” others can admire your fine qualities of intelligence, insight and practicality.  During those periods you may receive the advances you’ve desired, but were too conservative to promote.

 

 

Jupiter in the Second House

 

(The Big Spender)

 

You’ll let someone else take the dinner check, but if it’s haute cuisine, you don’t mind paying for it.  You may even spend to impress others, or talk them into investing, but your free-wheeling ways can squander their money.  And, you’re so cheerful about it, they may not even mind!  Your motto is, “If it’s there to enjoy, count the pleasure, not the cost!

 

 

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.

 

 

Saturn in the Seventh House

 

(The Odd Couple)

 

You will often find partners disagreeing with what you personally desire, or the means by which you achieve your ends.  Your values may be different, due to an age-gap.  You are likely to be too stubborn to give up your beliefs, methods, or a relationship, itself.  Agree to disagree or to accept the fact that you both have much to learn from association.   You can profit by enlarging your understanding to include an opposite point of view.

 

 

Uranus in Capricorn

 

(The Departure)

 

You will occasionally relax your normally-austere facade and abandon your conventional ways.  You enjoy originality and indulging your creative side, while keeping your aims intact. You are interested in balancing, rather than tipping the scales, and may hold offices that require tolerance, as well as authority.  Your excellent powers of discernment encourage improving conditions for yourself and others, since you take a long-range, instead of a narrow view.

 

 

Uranus in the Sixth House

 

(The Job-hopper)

 

You may waste time jumping from job to job as you search for one compatible with your personality.  You resent subjugation by conditions or the will of others.  If you “make do” for the sake of a paycheck, nervous conditions may result because of repressed energy.  You will be happiest with work that allows you flexibility and an opportunity to do things your way.   If that is impossible, at least try to “get away from it all” when away from your work environment.

 

 

Neptune in Capricorn

 

(The Mogul)

 

No matter what you put your hand to, it seems to come up gold.  This is no accident, but the result of keen insight, careful planning, and the persistence to ride over rough times and wait until fortune smiles.  You’re sometimes observed as a barometer for the stock market.  Even obscure plans take shape under your direction.  When you trust someone, you take his shortcomings as your own.  If betrayed, your confidence can only be rebuilt by time and testing.

 

 

Neptune in the Sixth House

 

(The Sensitive)

 

You may suffer allergies or dietary problems that are difficult to diagnose from early childhood.  You must be careful about ingesting drugs, even if they are prescribed by a physician.  A tender heart may lead you to work for those less fortunate than yourself, either as a career, or an act of charity.  Those who oppose you as “too good to be true” are envious of the satisfaction derived from your unselfish service.  Ignore them and enjoy your good works.

 

 

Pluto in Scorpio

 

(The Regenerator)

 

You are a believer in second chances, but a tendency to hold fast to everything past the time of practicality weakens your effectiveness to accept new opportunity.  You are always stronger because of the wisdom gained in past experiences.  On a world-scale, you can offer the proof of your convictions that there is much that may be salvaged for renewal, rather than a stubborn determination to do things your way at the expense of the greater good.

 

 

Pluto in the Fourth House

 

(The Martinet)

 

At best, you exemplify the iron fist in the velvet glove in your demands of your family and the structure of your home.  A Victorian father would best describe the image you present to your children, who may eventually find your edicts absurd. We are often victims of victims.  Practices of your parents may no longer be valid when you have outgrown childhood.  Try to break any ties that keep you bound to outmoded ideas or policies that are no longer practical.

 

 

Taurus Midheaven

 

You will do best in a career that offers steady growth, a career in which you can study what works and then be the one to provide stability and direction for the organization.  As long as you are earning a good income, enjoy positive relations with your coworkers, and have a little beauty where you work, you will be content to work quietly.  You are unlikely to push for change or to be combative in the workplace, unless someone affronts your pride.

 

You are good at cultivating relations with people, as opposed to things, and will extend yourself to others in the workplace. Your network of personal connections and inside knowledge, gained over time, makes you quite a resourceful employee.   You have faith in common sense and the existing order.  Change throws you off-balance.  If you are emotionally stressed, you may regard acquiring material possessions to be some sort of solution, which it is not.  You could also become surprisingly stubbon and vocal in your displeasure.  Remember that you have developed many resources.  Concentrate upon cultivating and using them for the common good.

 

Occupations consistent with your stable, practical style of work include official, executive, artist, singer, musician, designer, beautician, banker, business investor, property manager, farmer, stockbreeder, evangelist, advertiser, builder or public servant.  For the most personal career guide, also consider the nature of any planets which fall in the 10th house or conjoin the Midheaven, the sign and house placements of Venus, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

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.

 

 

North Node in the Fifth House

 

(The Princess)

 

Like the lady in the tower, awaiting rescue, all you need do is open your eyes to see a staircase.  You prefer fantasies to the workaday world.  Learn what is real and of lasting value.  Acquire self-discipline to become a “doer.”   You have the power to make your dreams come true, but cannot expect them to manifest before taking your first steps into reality.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Uranus conjunct Neptune  (Strength:  5.04)

 

(The Fantastic)

 

You are aware of a “different” kind of consciousness and may show an interest in the mysteries at an early age.  You are attracted to unusual methods of mind-control or expansion, including hypnosis, or may be tempted to try hallucinatory drugs or other “mind benders.”  If you pursue illumination through scientific or metaphysical exploration, there are proper ways of approaching it.  You may be “playing” with a fire you can’t control, once you light the candle!

 

 

Moon opposite Mars  (Strength:  3.64)

 

(The Untenable)

 

You ride an emotional see-saw which is difficult to control, particularly in personal relationships.  You may have trouble relating to women as a result of childhood programming by a mother-figure.  Your emotions can provoke involuntary tantrums that may prove embarrassing.  Try to develop a tolerance for others since you are not essentially a “loner.” You need people in your life who may help you to mature as a calmer individual, capable of leadership instead of tyranny.

 

 

Moon conjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  2.44)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon inconjunct Venus  (Strength:  2.43)

 

(The Defiler)

 

Your daydreams can get you into trouble, if you fail to separate them from reality.  You may be inconsistent in your plans, tend to be fickle and settle for “whatever feels good.” Your self-indulgence can lead to a variety of health problems due to promiscuity in sex or “escaping” into addictive substances.  Moderation in all things will help to balance your impulsive nature.  At least, try to look and listen before taking a leap that may well spell your downfall.

 

 

Sun inconjunct Pluto  (Strength:  2.18)

 

(The Over-zealous)

 

Your determination to have things your way can work against you, especially if you refuse to adapt to change.  You may find yourself in power plays because of an attitude that “Yours is the only way!”  Unrelenting pressures may be self-imposed, but if you are a bully, you will attract those who enjoy fighting.  Instead of hurling yourself at the top, learn patience.  Seek, Find and GROW.  You can leave this life stronger, wiser, and more successful than when you entered it.

 

 

Sun square Neptune  (Strength:  1.81)

 

(The Disoriented)

 

You may feel “lost.”  Misdirection in your life can result in repeated defeats and feelings of inadequacy.   Energy drops may be frequent so that you “never really feel good.”  You are at the center of your problems, so you, alone, hold the solutions.  It is not easy to reprogram for success, but begin by building resources in both body and mind.  Your idealism will encourage you to continue to believe that “life is what you make it” and can be beautiful, indeed.

 

 

Sun square Uranus  (Strength:  0.85)

 

(The Daredevil)

 

You are courageous, but may also be rebellious and reckless.  If expecting the unexpected appeals to you, your life should be as thrilling and exciting as you could wish. But, if you try to sail a smooth sea, you may invite upsets that continually disturb your plans.  Changes may damage your originality, if you plunge headlong into the unknown, but upon examination may provide you with the means to mold your life-direction until it accommodates your special cast.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  0.62)

 

(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.”

 

 

Saturn square Pluto  (Strength:  0.60)

 

(True Grit)

 

You may feel the world is against you or that life is a continuous struggle, with you the innocent victim.  Even if you must combat overwhelming odds, you will find ways to express yourself and your ideas as an effective individual.  The more difficult the obstacle and the less you have to work with, the stronger you will become.  When you establish your values, you will defend them wholeheartedly and few can come against you without knowing they have been in a fight.

 

 

Venus inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  0.00)

 

(The Spendthrift)

 

You may depend too much on appearances to attract what you think are the “right” crowd and circumstances.  Your self-delusion is apparent when you spend emotionally without an idea of how you will “pay the rent.”  To compensate for frustrated dreams of grandeur, you may indulge your sweet tooth, which can result in unwanted pounds and inches, or even in allergies.  By curbing your appetites and employing a practical outlook, you may find the very successes you desire.

 

 

 

 

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 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.

 

 

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 Substance

 

With abundant planets in the houses of substance, you know your place in the material world.  You know how to extract value and give value via your business, work, and career activities.  The rules of the world come easily to you.  Others admire and depend on your hard work and practical nature.  If you get depressed, make time for recreation and family.
