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 Virgo
(Keynote: I ANALYZE)
You are practical, modest, thoughtful and discriminating. You can be critical, withdrawn, narrow, and tend to worry too much, particularly about your health. You are hard to know because you are cool and reserved, but are a fine teacher, with an aptitude for figures, an ability to evaluate accurately, and an abundance of knowledge. Your sense of responsibility assures the most tedious task will be finished promptly and precisely. Your dry wit is often unexpected and appreciated, but when it turns to biting sarcasm can make even your best friends wish you’d stayed at home!
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 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 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 Libra
(The Captivator)
An intensive yen for romance may tempt you to marry early and in haste, which is inviting trouble. You enjoy life as an “attention-getter” with good looks and a congenial manner to attract those with the same qualities. You will also inevitably provoke the jealousy that goes with popularity. You’re really too intelligent to indulge your penchant for changing partners each time you dance. You have what it takes to recognize the “right” one, with all you need to be happy.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
(The Philosopher)
You are a student of life and gain your highest learning through experience, but can also expand your knowledge in metaphysical studies. Your optimism and faith in humanity make you responsible for lighting and passing an eternal flame of wisdom to successive generations, where it will multiply a thousand times with every life it touches.
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 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 Taurus
(The Conscientious)
You are aware of the values of society and surround yourself with obvious signs of wealth and propriety. Still, you fret that you fail to impress others with your exemplary image. Such pretense is unnecessary. You are not judged by what you have, but who you are. Like the prodigal son, yours are the riches of the universe and are free for the asking.
Planets in Aspect
Moon square Mars (Strength: 4.92)
(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 sextile Mercury (Strength: 4.12)
(The Chatterbox)
You fill your active life with people, are seldom at a loss for words, and are expert at making “small talk.” You enjoy writing letters to your friends filled with amusing trivia and are intuitive about those at a distance as well as acquaintances in your immediate vicinity. Your easy rapport with others encourages exchanging confidences and feelings and you are comfortable offering and receiving advice. You consider “everyone” a friend and in turn are a friend to all.
Mars trine Uranus (Strength: 3.95)
(The Expressive)
You will find positive ways to release your tremendous store of energy, and may direct it into a career or some “life work” of an unusual nature. You will never go unnoticed because you express as a “different” kind of individual. Your unique imprint is on whatever you touch, whether constructive or destructive. Each success builds your confidence to move onward and upward. You are adventurous and are liable to “climb a mountain just because it’s there.”
Mars sextile Saturn (Strength: 3.72)
(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.
Moon conjunct Venus (Strength: 3.25)
(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.
Jupiter trine Pluto (Strength: 1.81)
(The Activator)
You are consumed with a yearning for self-improvement, but must ask yourself why you are so driven. You can inspire others as a “mover and a shaker” whose motivation is justified in the success you achieve, but it may not be enough. Expand your efforts to include those who lack your zeal or courage to act on what they devoutly believe. In helping others, you constantly renew yourself, your ambitions and the confidence that you can continue to grow by going the “extra mile.”
Saturn sextile Uranus (Strength: 1.67)
(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.
Mercury sextile Venus (Strength: 1.13)
(The Cartoonist)
Relaxation is important to you and you learn early to pace yourself to allow time for pleasure. You tend to take things at face value, are easy-going and amusing to have around. You appreciate art forms, but if you draw, are more likely to “doodle” or present the lighter side of mankind in caricature, which expresses your tongue-in-cheek attitude. You are a winsome companion, if lacking the solemnity to provide variable shadows on your sunny side of the street!
Mercury square Uranus (Strength: 0.99)
(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 radical that it must be shelved for another time.
Mercury square Jupiter (Strength: 0.46)
(The Racer)
You are entirely optimistic about your potential for the future and are in a hurry to be first with the most! But, before you can make genuine progress, you must allow yourself time to grow and learn. Otherwise, you may neglect essentials that can make or break your plans. If impatient, you can deny yourself opportunities for travel or higher education that would assure not only your success, but the ability to keep your balance, once you have scaled the heights!
Venus inconjunct Jupiter (Strength: 0.33)
(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.
Neptune sextile Pluto (Strength: 0.19)
(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.”
Venus square Mars (Strength: 0.17)
(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.
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.
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 Cardinal
With an abundance of planets in the Cardinal signs, you find it easy to function on your own as an autonomous individual. You have a pretty good grasp of how the real world works, which you may have acquired through your willingness to try new things. An active person, you find challenges stimulating. Success comes through big ventures that others are too intimidated to attempt. You would make a good entrepreneur, but look for other indications in your chart to see if you have the qualities needed to stay with a project or grow a business. You’re not really a team player. You are likely to encounter some problems in your life as a result of being so one-sidedly focused on your own goals and activities. But you are good at overcoming problems. Personal survival is important to you and you are capable of learning. You manifest your love through a lack of fear that makes the future happen.
Lack of Fixed
With a lack of planets in Fixed signs, you probably find it difficult to settle down or concentrate on one thing for a long time. You tend to be all over the place. The advantage is that you are able to do many things at once and can move forward with change and growth when desirable. You are a free spirit, not overly weighed down by attachments. You may be daring, brave, and filled with ideas, but you need individuals in your life who can provide the structure and stability that you lack. If necessary, you can force yourself to finish projects through mental discipline and willpower.
A lack of planets in the Fixed signs can be offset by a Fixed sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Succedent houses.
