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 Aquarius
(Keynote: I KNOW)
You are optimistic, innovative, philosophical and humane, but are capable of being eccentric, indifferent, rebellious and temperamental. You are motivated by inherent feelings that amount to enlightenment. Your interest in humanity puts you in contact with a variety of people to whom you can relate with equality. Your dispassionate nature confuses those who would form attachments. Like an astronaut, you expect your partners to respect the independence you treasure and permit the freedom your creativity demands. Ideally, you will one day contribute your special gifts to the evolution of man.
Moon in Cancer
(The Homemaker)
You identify with your heredity, which you probably revere. If you compare your environment with that of your early years, or romanticize your childhood out of proportion, it will be difficult to establish a life of your own away from familiar surroundings. Because you sympathize with others, you feel justified in “crying on their shoulders,” but must realize some do not share your protective feelings. Your home must be emotionally satisfying. You will probably be a good parent, but may be overly-strict, as if you were responsible for a child’s actions as an adult, which still reflect on you.
Mercury in Capricorn
(The Logician)
You are a strategist who employs systematic methods and are seldom upset, unless your plans are disturbed. You communicate with others by getting right to the point with a minimum of wasted effort. Others may consider you sober, self-righteous and too rigid to enjoy life, but what they think of as “rigid”, you believe to be structured, “sober” as merely serious, and “self-righteousness” is your pride in accomplishments that you have earned the hard way.
Venus in Aquarius
(The Unconventional)
You are attractive, intelligent and generous to a fault. Your outgoing nature and congenial personality make it easy for you to make friends. You are intrigued by the eccentric and bizarre and may become involved with some unusual companions. Since you are emotionally detached, some relationships are on a platonic basis. Perhaps it is because you enjoy giving rather than receiving that you distance yourself from intimacies that require commitment.
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.
Jupiter in Scorpio
(The Investor)
You may manage other people’s time and money successfully. Your keen intuition and bent for speculation can help you create your own dynasty. You’re apt to over-do or become self-indulgent. Make “moderation” your watchword to avoid unfortunate side-effects which can impair your health and rob you of the rewards of the charmed life you lead.
Saturn in Taurus
(The Dejected)
Frugality is against your nature, but you feel a need to “pinch pennies” which can earn you a reputation for being “tight.” You may be unduly concerned over finances and possessions. Love is also a part of the security you crave. Learn to accept losses that everyone experiences from time to time. You should be able to acquire enough material means to alleviate your fears and enjoy the caring relationships essential to your well-being.
Uranus in Libra
(The Bohemian)
You have artistic talent and appreciate modern, as well as traditional forms. You are intelligent, ambitious and determined, but may change your goals too often. Your creative imagination and intuitive gifts blend well. Relationships are trying, as you choose unlikely companions. You make enemies because of unusual ideas, independence and your caustic wit. Once your efforts are channeled, you may attract opportunities that will lead to the success you have dreamed of.
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 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 Pisces
(The Purist)
You have definite ideas of what the world should be like. True comradeship is a rarity because few measure up to your rigid standards. Your search for higher spirit will stimulate compassion for your fellow man and allow for human failure. No one may fulfill another’s karma or judge another’s essence. Your desire should be to try to perfect yourself, inspiring others to do the same by your example.
Planets in Aspect
Sun conjunct Venus (Strength: 6.20)
(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.
Mars opposite Pluto (Strength: 5.77)
(The Struggle)
Your assertive actions may stem from either a desire for self-satisfaction or a resolve to better the environment. In either case, you will attract formidable opposition and need the support of others. Resist temptation to win at all costs, without regard for the feelings of those who are in conflict with you. Agreeing with rivals is sometimes the best way to resolve immediate arguments. Relax contentions when issues are not so vital to the survival of your ego.
Sun square Saturn (Strength: 5.68)
(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 sextile Neptune (Strength: 4.39)
(The Spiritualist)
Because your inherent beliefs tell you that mind and body are one, you will strive for perfect balance. Your low energy levels suit you for periods of meditation. As you turn inward, you may open mediumistic qualities which make you sensitive to the feelings of others and you will respond to their needs. Material blessings will never satisfy you. Follow inner urges that prompt you to reach for understanding born of your search for higher self in divine spirit.
Venus square Saturn (Strength: 3.88)
(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.
Venus sextile Neptune (Strength: 3.81)
(The Genteel)
You may establish a successful career in some kind of art or art-related business, since you have an unusual ability for recognizing or creating beauty. You are refined and abhor roughness or depravity of any kind. “Rose-colored glasses” can make you unrealistic in relationships, for which you will accept blame, but believe in a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow. You sometimes accomplish your dreams by refusing compromise until you find a means of fulfillment.
Jupiter opposite Saturn (Strength: 3.72)
(The Alibis)
You may fantasize heroic adventures, but think others hold you back. You find reasons why you can’t “go and do.” The truth is you probably have trouble letting go of the familiar to explore the unknown. Though you complain, you are a hard worker, accept responsibility, and should be able to expand your horizons. To paraphrase the poet: “It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all!” There is always a chance you will exceed your expectations!
Sun square Jupiter (Strength: 3.40)
(The Pompous)
Your eye is very much on the “donut” and not on the “hole.” You are a citizen of the world and an eager learner, so benefit by extensive travel. Others are excited by your dynamic presence and what you have to say, unless you spoil your image by exaggerating reality or monopolize center stage to hear your own voice. Then, those great gulps of life you devour can distend your ego as well as your waistline and result in chronic social indigestion.
Sun trine Pluto (Strength: 3.21)
(The Success)
Your determination to succeed impresses others and attracts those who may help you. You will define your goals and examine the changes required to accomplish them at each stage of your progress. If it means becoming a “new” person, you will undergo necessary reforms and transformation. Good health accompanies your positive attitude. At one with perfect spiritual harmony, you achieve the balance necessary to realize, accept and maintain a position of prominence.
Mars trine Neptune (Strength: 3.05)
(The Modest)
You may believe that yours is a life of self-sacrifice with little recognition. You care for your next-door neighbor as your family and are drawn to those who need your nurturing ways. You may use your wonderful imagination in a successful vocation, but are somewhat retiring, so your fine work is not immediately obvious. You have a chance to discover that you are part of a universal plan of brotherhood and spiritual bonding that few are privileged to experience.
Venus trine Pluto (Strength: 3.01)
(The Altruistic)
If you set your sights on your heart’s desires, little can stop you from achieving, but your spiritual scope is beyond personal wishes. Intensity of purpose motivates you in meaningful relationships. If you cannot fit into structures, examine yourself to decide whether a beneficial change is necessary or if “love” is being used selfishly to dominate or control. You will learn through experience, but must continue to look inward to appreciate the real power you possess.
Moon opposite Mercury (Strength: 1.80)
(The Fluctuater)
Rather than face the “ups and downs” of everyday life, you may withdraw to get in touch with yourself. Sort out what is “real” and what is emotional confusion that often keeps you from maintaining a position. Since you will always relate to childhood programming, it is important that you have practical guidance that will afford you security you will need as you mature. If you lack stability, periods of meditation may give you an insight to employ when you need it most.
Venus square Jupiter (Strength: 1.60)
(The Spoiler)
Your tendency to exaggerate may be your downfall. You may confuse wishing with attaining and neglect a proper foundation for rewards. You are fond of social activities, but find it hard to resist temptations of the flesh, so may overindulge in foods that are too rich or drinks that are too potent. It is hard to discourage you. You are forever optimistic and in such good spirits that it would take a heart of stone to try to bring you down or ruin your day.
Sun sextile Mars (Strength: 1.44)
(The Expeditor)
Use your energies to accomplish your tasks in the most judicious manner. You are not likely to go unnoticed. Your object will be the successful completion of anything you undertake rather than satisfaction of your ego, so you work well with others and make use of their input. Your self-confidence inspires respect of your judgment. Should you find resistance, you will overcome it with logic and prudence rather than aggressiveness and domination.
Venus sextile Mars (Strength: 1.24)
(The Flirt)
You are a fun-lover and like to be where the people are. Most will appreciate your effervescent personality and delight in your company. You are usually ready for anything social and don’t mind paying your way. In relationships, you expect a 50-50 “give and take” balance. You are attracted to and know how to call yourself to the attention of the opposite sex at an early age. In your later years, you will still “have what it takes” to indulge your passion for romance.
Saturn inconjunct Neptune (Strength: 1.07)
(The Vulnerable)
You may live in a half-world between reality and illusion. You take discouragement to heart, failing to realize that your foundations are apt to crumble because others may not understand you and lack the desire to support you. You may become distracted from real purpose by daydreams which stem from wishful thinking. Adequate preparation and practical application are necessary if you are to claim the gold at the end of your rainbows.
Neptune sextile Pluto (Strength: 0.82)
(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 square Uranus (Strength: 0.17)
(The Pressured)
You seem constantly “under the gun” to produce creative ideas associated with your quick and innovative mind. You may be clear as to your intent, but too original for others to accept your proposals. You long to get away from it all but travel can be stressful because of unexpected delays and interruptions. Try to scale your concepts so that others can understand them. Experience will prove what is acceptable or so r
adical that it must be shelved for another time.
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.
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.
