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 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.
Mercury in Aquarius

(The Capricious)

You may have the inventive qualities of an Edison or an Einstein, but instead of being an “egghead” may end with “egg on your face.” You look towards tomorrow, but seldom at yesterday, where you might profit from experience. You are often seen as “unfeeling” because you neglect loved ones in taking the freedom to be a friend to others. Include those closest to you in your aspirations. They admire your unusual gifts and offer the support you need for success.
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 Virgo

(The Indispensable)

You perform “to the letter” and often to an “nth” degree that is unnecessary. You seem to have unlimited physical resources, take orders well and respect regimen, but may have difficulty in relating to co-workers. In arguments, you express quickly, accurately, and, too often, sarcastically. You are a valuable helpmate in personal relationships, though a need to avoid expressing yourself in a superior manner should be recognized and modified to an acceptable level.
Jupiter in Taurus

(The Show-off)

You can be too extravagant because of your love of luxury, but if you choose to spend your hard-earned money, who’s to say it’s not your privilege? You can be too aggressive in getting what you want and too stubborn to change your mind after you get it. Again, since you are a super-achiever, who can criticize you for doing things your way?
Saturn in Pisces

(The Stabilizer)

Although it is in your disposition to look to others for support, you can search for your independence and find it. You may turn moodiness into meditation and benefit from time spent with yourself by listening to “small voices” within that you have not had the courage to hear. You may cling to destructive emotional patterns, but can develop a will to win. This has little to do with rewards, other than to at last glimpse who you are and delight in the knowledge.
Uranus in Virgo

(The Quirky)

You have talent for discovering unusual types of diet and herbal remedies, but must present an authoritative platform before encouraging others to try them. Otherwise, you may be taken as a “quack” instead of a mechanist who qualifies as a valuable teacher. A government position may introduce you to other countries and the fundamentals in ancient science as your foundation. Employ a critical eye as a useful tool when discerning suitable applications in the healing arts.
Neptune in Scorpio

(The Initiator)

You take great delight in other people’s secrets and may use them to advantage. If you have information that needs disclosure for the benefit of others, you may expose it in a subtle, but effective way. You may also use your knowledge to promote a principle or public figures while working behind the scenes. A leaning towards self-indulgence needs careful monitoring so that your strength is not used in abusive ways, but as a benefactor who prefers to remain anonymous.
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 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 opposite Saturn (Strength: 4.88)

(The Reserved)

Partnerships are trying because you are an independent person who finds compromise difficult. You may have a need to control if you feel others do not work in your best interest. Your failure to communicate or expose your feelings can cost you friends and business losses because none can penetrate the stone image you present. If you and your plans are deserted, it may be that you give the impression that you prefer to be on your own and your wish for isolation is granted.
Mercury square Neptune (Strength: 4.40)

(The Perplexed)

You dream of fairy-tale romances, but be careful not to put on pedestals those who don’t deserve your consideration. You will come to see they have feet of clay, and become disillusioned. If you live in a dream world, you can be deceived. Or, you may use others to achieve your means in an underhanded manner. Maintain your integrity and insist on fact over fantasy. Avoid confusion that could deny success. Don’t forego your chance at a productively rewarding life.
Jupiter opposite Neptune (Strength: 4.36)

(The Wastrel)

It is difficult for you to see “the trees for the forest” sometimes, because of your inclination to put a mask on reality. You mean well, but are extremely idealistic and can become lost in generalities, since you seldom “fine tune” the picture. Despite your abstractions, you are intuitive and may take risks that pay off. If you cannot be sure your plans are practical, take the advice of someone with more experience to keep you grounded, with a realistic chance at success.
Uranus conjunct Pluto (Strength: 3.96)

(The Unrestrained)

You are convinced that new ways are the best ways because they are your ways. Since you don’t take discipline readily, you may be in conflict with authority figures. Older people with “old-fashioned ways” seem particular adversaries. Your life is one of evolvement, without “encumbrances” to hold you back, including relationships. You may be wise beyond your years, but must have the patience to wait until you know what the universe is about before trying to change it.
Jupiter trine Pluto (Strength: 3.12)

(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.”
Mercury square Jupiter (Strength: 2.76)

(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 Uranus (Strength: 2.47)

(The Exotic)

You are drawn to unusual and sporadic love affairs. You may indulge in sexual fantasies, which you may or may not put into action. If the latter is true, you can pay a high price for your experiments in the form of social diseases. As erratic as you are in love, you are likely to find unconventional ways to make money, but since your attention-span is short, you may find yourself drifting as a job-hopper without the patience to commit to one field of endeavor.
Sun inconjunct Mars (Strength: 2.17)

(The Precocious)

The excitement on which you thrive may be the cause of your basic instability. You are frustrated by “lazy” or indifferent attitudes and can turn your volatility into inflammatory health problems. Your haste can produce accidents and injuries which may involve your partners. Discrimination should become your watchword. Consider the views of others. Rather than scatter your energies, wait for the proper moment to channel them towards your success.
Venus square Jupiter (Strength: 1.61)

(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.
Venus inconjunct Pluto (Strength: 1.49)

(The Luxury Lover)

You tend to go overboard in your wishes and demands. Your love can be possessive and jealous. If partners do not conform to your ideals, you may insist on trying to make them over. Your determination to cling to “what is yours” can become obsessive. Money is all-important for your desired lifestyle, and you pursue it relentlessly. You can drive that which you most desire away unless you truly begin to practice moderation and the old axiom of “Live and let live.”
Jupiter trine Uranus (Strength: 1.08)

(The Favored)

You are blessed with unexpected opportunities that seem to materialize from nowhere. But, unless you are quick to take advantage, they may vanish like smoke from a Genie’s lamp. Fortunately, you enjoy or will create the necessary freedom to accept any bounty that comes your way. If it involves change, your pleasure is doubled. You are ready to grow, expand and, when given the chance, develop the ability to fly towards your fortune with the wind at your back!
Sun conjunct Mercury (Strength: 1.00)

(The Conversationalist)

You express your opinions and ideas well, and may preface each sentence with “I”, since your focus is on yourself. If you are promoting your interests commercially, you will get your point across, but should listen to the views of others to enhance your chances of success. You enjoy travel and meeting with people to exchange ideas. You are a natural teacher. If you show a flair for writing, voicing your opinions may be useful and is often the mark of a successful columnist.

Sun opposite Moon (Strength: 0.35)

(The Tug O’War)

You feel that others do not understand you and constantly oppose your ideas or goals. Close relationships suffer if you vent anger or resentment. At times, you may feel pulled in two directions. If your life is one of endless indecision and emotional turmoil, you must recognize that the conflict is within you. Rely on inner feelings to validate your actions. In times of stress you will find what “works for you” and use your enormous e
nergy in a positive manner.

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 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 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 Mutable

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone’s friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others’ needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.
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.
Lack of Cardinal

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

A lack of planets in the Cardinal signs can be offset by a Cardinal sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Angular houses.

Introduction

The following pages contain a brief evaluation of key elements of your birth chart, although it is by no means complete. Astrology can reveal many things about a person’s life and personality, and you could study your chart for a lifetime without knowing the answers to all of your questions. The descriptions that follow will give you a “thumbnail” introduction to yourself through astrology.

In interpreting your chart, this report considers the sign of the planets and the north node in your chart, as well as their house placements. It also describes the sign of the Ascendant and the strongest aspects between the planets.

You may note that some of the following descriptions appear to contradict each other–and indeed we are all walking bundles of contradiction. If you examine yourself carefully, you will probably realize that you do in fact possess the qualities of both conflicting descriptions. Even though some parts of the reading may seem to clash, you will see that certain themes are repeated throughout the following pages. These are the ones that will become major issues in your life.

The readings stress that you are the ultimate decider of your fate. The stars may indicate the hand you were dealt at birth, but it is up to you to play that hand well enough to achieve your goals. Also, bear in mind that every “bad” aspect of a chart also has a “good” side. How it is expressed is really up to you. We tend to work at expressing ourselves more positively most of the time and only lapse into the negative behavior described when depressed, angry or scared. Or it is possible that some aspects may better describe your personality or behavior earlier in life. They may seem alien now because you have already worked through them.

A “Strength” number precedes each aspect description; this number takes into account how exact the aspect is, whether the aspect is a major or minor one, 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 act it out in your life.
Planets in Signs

Sun in Aquarius

When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars.
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius . . .

This is a song from the rock musical Hair. That play and the change in consciousness of that period reflect the qualities of Aquarius: individuality, humanitarianism, freedom and brotherly love. Indeed, Aquarians go through life with one foot in the future, and many have been inventors or futuristic writers. Often misunderstood by their peers, they may seem eccentric or spacey. They love to fly in the face of tradition (and maybe even authority), and are very impatient.

Aquarians believe in dealing with others truthfully. But this is a gray area with natives of this sign–not telling all the truth is much different from telling an outright lie. Whether they like you or not, Aquarians will deal with you fairly and honestly. They practice their belief that all beings are equal. Yet, being a fixed sign, they can be enormously stubborn and strongly opinionated. They may even become intellectual bigots, looking down upon those who are not highly developed intellectually. Even though Aquarians will denounce discrimination, they do indeed have their own special prejudices–but they will be different from society’s norm (in other words, based on something other than race, creed, sex, etc.).

Aquarians can seem distant and aloof to their loved ones, who may feel as though they are being examined under a microscope or dissected. This is only the Aquarian’s effort to achieve objectivity by constantly scrutinizing everything about life. Actually, Aquarians are very understanding lovers; they tolerate others’ imperfections, and to others may appear to be a pushover in relationships. But they do have a point beyond which they will not turn the other cheek. Once this line has been crossed, the partner will have a hard time making amends.

In sex, you enjoy variety and inventiveness. Under the right conditions, Aquarians are capable of sustaining open relationships, where both partners are allowed to maintain friends (or lovers) outside the main relationship. Aquarians of both sexes would be most satisfied with a relationship in which both partners have equal autonomy. Otherwise, Aquarius will feel trapped and want out.
Moon in Virgo

With the Moon in Virgo you are very conscious of keeping fit, both physically and mentally. You respect physical fitness and could even become obsessed with it, overindulging in exercise routines and far out diets. If this is the case with you, just be sure that you don’t push your obsession on others. Remember, to each their own.

Mentally, Virgo Moons love to criticize and analyze everything. They will not only freely express their own opinions, but will also criticize others’ opinions as well. Unless this leads to bigotry and single-mindedness, people with this Moon placement can be very intellectually stimulating. They also enjoy taking part in local, or even national, politics or social issues.

You make good, stable business partners and are willing to work hard toward your goals. Your ability to analyze and plan can make you a successful professional.

One drawback of this placement is the tendency to suffer in silence through unsatisfying relationships. This only prolongs the misery and creates bitterness in the relationship. Don’t be afraid to speak up when you are feeling unhappy. It’s no fun being a martyr.
Mercury in Aquarius

Mercury in the sign Aquarius has a reputation for being the sign of the genius, as many inventors and scientists have Mercury in this sign. You have a highly original and versatile mind, and you can put your ideas to work in a practical manner. It may be difficult for you to gain acceptance from your own generation for your ideas because with Mercury in Aquarius you are a futuristic thinker. In another 50 years, everyone else will catch up.

Although your friends are very special to you, it is important that you follow your own convictions no matter what others think. With your highly developed intuition, you also have the ability to see through the pretenses of others. You communicate your ideas very clearly so that others can easily understand even the most abstract concepts.

You have a well-balanced concept of human values and view life from the point of view of what is most helpful for the entire planet (or the Universe). You strive to remain detached and objective, so that your judgment can remain clear. This is a good idea, as long as your detachment does not become aloof coolness. You have a natural aptitude for science, both traditional and metaphysical. Since Aquarius rules astrology, Mercury in this sign indicates at least a curiosity about this subject.

Your friends will be your greatest source of mental stimulation, and you will choose friends from every walk of life. With your highly developed sense of intuition you may have psychic abilities, such as telepathy or premonitions. You have an excellent memory, and may be able to recall details of past lives with greater detail than others.
Venus in Aquarius

With this placement of Venus, you require a great deal of freedom in relationships and will resist being tied down. You are also willing to provide this freedom to your partner, and you are not jealous or possessive. You look at your feelings intellectually and can appear aloof or impersonal to others. This Aquarian detachment gives you the ability to stand back and look at the situation more clearly. Just don’t become so distant that you cannot empathize with your loved ones and offer them solace.

You may have felt that love was not freely expressed in your home when you were growing up. One challenge you face is to learn to be warm and understanding in love relationships. It is very important to you that your lover be a friend as well.

In your love relationships you prefer a partner who is unique and a little off-beat by society’s standards. You need a lover who can respect your need for personal freedom and your own individual identity. Because you are so afraid of being tied down, it is difficult for you to establish and maintain long-term love relationships.

You are rebellious and “negatively suggestible” in your love affairs. That is, the best way to get you to do something is to demand that you do just the opposite. You can be extremely stubborn at times and can turn ice cold when you are hurt. Once you have committed yourself to a partner, you are loyal and truthful and are willing to extend the same personal freedom to your lover that you demand.
Mars in Virgo

Your ability to assert yourself is often frustrated by your own incessant worrying and scrupulous attention to detail. While it is good to be organized and to have a plan of operation, you also need to learn to be a little more spontaneous and carefree.

In your career you are an energetic worker. Although you are ambitious, you find it hard to handle positions of high responsibility. You tend to take on everyone’s problems and end up with stomach upsets or skin rashes. Although you are practical and diplomatic with others, you are not prone to taking risks or to participating in cutthroat competition.

You are a very careful and meticulous lover and will make sure that the surroundings and atmosphere are perfect for yourself and your partner. Although you are somewhat slow to arouse sexually, you go out of your way to please your lover, employing superior technique, sensitivity and attention to detail.

Personal cleanliness is important to you, and you probably enjoy taking showers with your lovers. You can be somewhat picky and critical of your partner, although it is sincerely done with the intention of helping them. Sexual tools can be fun for you if you will allow yourself to be so bold and spontaneous.
Jupiter in Taurus

With Jupiter in Taurus, you have a natural ability to apply yourself practically to earn and accumulate money. You are loving and sympathetic toward others, and you probably like to contribute to a charity of your choice. With your appreciation for the finer arts, you collect only those objects of the highest quality. You make a point to enjoy the finer things in life. Avoid a tendency to over-emphasize material possessions.
Saturn in Pisces

You are very intuitive and highly imaginative. You are tolerant of the shortcomings of others. Peace and quiet are necessary for your peace of mind, and you may prefer to spend much of your time alone. You may vacillate between emotional overreaction and cold rationalism, or you may encounter these extremes in your relations with others. One of your greatest challenges is to avoid a gloomy, depressed disposition. You cannot save the world and must learn to tell the difference between your problems and those of your loved ones.
Uranus in Virgo

(1961-1969)

You have a sharp, analytical mind, and you will use it to find workable solutions to the many ills of society. You are interested in alternative forms of healing, such as psychic healing and herbal treatments. Since you are cautious by nature, you will think through all your ideas thoroughly to be sure no details are overlooked. One of your challenges is to learn to listen to your intuition rather than just your rational mind.
Neptune in Scorpio

(1955-1970)

You are driven to uncover the deepest secrets within society, and you have a keen interest in metaphysical sciences. With your strong desire for physical pleasures, you must avoid overindulging in food, drink, sex or drugs in an attempt to escape the tension of daily life.
Pluto in Virgo

(1956-1972)

Your generation saw the birth of social reforms, such as free medical clinics and food banks. Chemicals also became popular, and many miracle drugs were discovered. There was also renewed interest in organic health foods, vitamins and herbal remedies. You have a strong desire to achieve perfection. Avoid being too critical of yourself or others.
North Node in Gemini

You have spent many lifetimes seeking knowledge and freedom, and have developed definite philosophies about life. You lived these lifetimes seeking personal liberty, with little interest or involvement in the society around you. During this lifetime you will learn to recognize the benefits of interaction with others. With your broader understanding of the universe, it is time for you to learn to communicate your beliefs and bring them into concrete form. Remember, you have to stop seeking something in order to find it.
Chiron in Pisces

You are highly sensitive and intuitive, and probably have keen psychic abilities. With your strong sense of compassion, healing comes naturally to you, and you may enter a career in the healing arts. In your personal and professional lives, you tend to take on the feelings of those around you, and at times it may be necessary for you to get away and find alone time to “find yourself” again.

You are highly idealistic, and you have a sincere desire to somehow help make the world a better place. You truly want to see the best in everyone and everything, and for this reason you can sometimes be misled or deceived. Be willing to question the truth of what someone tells you if your intuition tells you something is not right. Listen to your inner guidance, and you will always appreciate the underlying lessons in life’s daily events.
Planets in Aspect

Moon opposite Saturn (Strength: 4.88)

You are a deep person and tend to develop fear and anxiety around people and events in your life. In other words, you take life too seriously and what involvements you have are merely casual or superficial. As a child you were expected to live up to rather rigid responsibilities. You were not prepared to emotionally deal with this pressure, and you felt unloved and rejected.

Throughout your life you may find that you relate more easily to persons who are older than you, especially during your youth. This can cause you to become a loner when those who are older than you reject you as not being part of their group. You may develop a pessimistic and depressed viewpoint toward life, feeling that you are fated to suffer emotionally.

Professionally, you would do well in scientific research, medicine, education, law, government work, or as a social worker. You accept your responsibilities well, although you may not be very happy doing so. Find a career which is emotionally satisfying–one which helps others and which you enjoy. Be willing to continually learn from others rather than pretend you know all there is to know on a particular subject.

In your love life you will seek a strong and self-disciplined partner. Truthfully, a more ideal partner for you would be one who didn’t take life as seriously as you do yet who could be patient with your moodiness and stuffiness. A more liberal-minded mate would force you to look at potentials you hadn’t known you possessed.

Allow your children more freedom and flexibility than your parents granted you. This will enable them to grow to be secure, independent adults. Watch your health, particularly digestive problems, which could result from emotional stress and tension.
Mercury square Neptune (Strength: 4.40)

You tend to be an escapist, and your fear of facing responsibility can cause problems, both emotionally and materially. Your imagination often interferes with your logical mental processes, and you have difficulty seeing the world realistically. This problem was at least partly caused by early parental conditioning.

Unless you can learn to operate in the real world, your progress in life will be limited at best. You are extremely sensitive, and little problems seem like big ones to you. Although you have a great deal of creative talent, you shy away from competition. You need to learn to build up your own self-confidence and to exercise greater self-discipline. All the problems you encounter must be dealt with; they will not go away by themselves. Just don’t take on more than you can handle; realize your limitations and don’t exceed them.

In a career you could do well in writing, education, art, acting, or in social programs that are designed to help others. By helping others solve their problems, you learn to solve your own. Don’t “spread yourself too thin”; rather, concentrate on one project at a time, focusing your energy in that area.

In your love life you should be careful not to let your imagination run away with you. Don’t misinterpret someone’s casual interest in you to mean that they are madly in love with you; this only sets you up for disappointment. Be sure that your lover is genuinely sincere before making a strong commitment. You are a person who is easily deceived and taken advantage of. You don’t like being lonely and will take on a less than satisfactory partner to avoid it. Instead, try getting into your creative talents when you are alone.
Jupiter opposite Neptune (Strength: 4.36)

You are quick to make promises which you later realize you can’t or don’t want to fulfill. It’s not that you try to deceive anyone, for your intentions are always the best at the time the promise is made. You believe that others expect a lot from you and that you should be willing to serve their needs. You rebel against this pressure to perform and resent being continually asked for favors.

In your relationships with others you expect loved ones to live up to unreasonable expectations. Learn to accept everyone else’s human flaws and imperfections and you will find that they are more accepting of yours. Be cautious that others don’t deceive you, but don’t be overly suspicious or overreact to apparent wrongs too impulsively. Learn to wait and hear both sides of any story.

One appropriate area of caution is in your career. Be careful not to accept tasks for which you are not compensated. Learn to recognize your own limitations and not take on more than you can handle. You would also work well with groups who are seeking social change. You are brave enough to confront authority when you feel it is unjust or corrupt.

In affairs of the heart you are very likely to look at your partner through rose-colored glasses. Learn to see others as they are (imperfections and all) and love them that way, instead of imagining them to be your perfect image of a mate. When you are disappointed, you become resentful and even vindictive. You do not deal well with rejection.
Uranus conjunct Pluto (Strength: 3.96)

Freedom is very important to you, and you will go to great lengths to preserve it. This is true not only of personal freedom, but also includes freedom from corrupt power, disease, pollution, unemployment, etc. You are not afraid to work toward causes you believe in and enjoy the feeling that you are contributing something to the betterment of mankind. You know that this takes hard work by everyone and are willing to do your share.

This aspect appears in the charts of persons born during the 1960s. This period in time was one where great attention was being paid to health and environmental issues. You and others born during this time feel a responsibility to work toward improvement in these areas. It is important to you that the legacy you leave for the next generation be a better one.

Although you have a strong need to “do your own thing,” you are not selfish in your pursuit of freedom. You believe that everyone is entitled to the liberty you seek and will work to help others realize their own power. The issue of social responsibility will be a prominent one for you. It is up to you whether you will shirk your duties in this area or work to bring about a reversal in the decaying quality of life.
Jupiter trine Pluto (Strength: 3.12)

You are highly optimistic and firmly believe that you can contribute to a beneficial change in society and the world in general. This bright outlook inspires those around you and encourages hope for the future. You can prompt others into action and act as their leader in bringing about needed changes.

Others usually listen when you talk because you speak with such conviction and deep wisdom. You always seek the larger meaning behind everything that happens to you and have a natural understanding for psychic and metaphysical matters. This draws others to you, and they respect your depth of knowledge and understanding.

In your occupation, it would be wise to select a career which serves the public as a whole. You would be an excellent teacher (whether in a classroom or not) and would encourage your students to expand their limited awareness of the universe.

Children are especially fond of you; in you they find someone who truly understands the difficulties of their lives. But even your elders will respect your sage advice, and you could inspire them to reclaim their inner youth. At times you may feel as though your mission is to serve and teach others, and perhaps this is the case.

You have a strong need to express yourself creatively and with great imagination; anyone who tries to stand in your way will meet with great resistance. It is not easy for others to deceive you, for you can see through the best of pretenses. To others you seem to have an incredible gift of foresight, and this allows you to better prepare for difficulties.

Because personal freedom of movement is important to you, your friends and lovers must allow you to come and go as you please. Have faith in your intuitive talents when “reading” other people; more often than not they are accurate.
Mercury square Jupiter (Strength: 2.76)

You are curious and eager to learn new things, but you often lose interest before you have studied anything in- depth. This can result in your becoming a “jack of all trades but master of none.” You look for an easy way out, a “quick fix,” but this is not the best solution to your problems.

It is necessary to climb any ladder from the bottom up, although you would prefer to be able to start out in life at the top. You are often impulsive with your judgment of people and things, and you do not plan your actions well. If you are going to achieve your goals in life, you must develop more self-discipline and patience. You have great dreams of success in life, but you are caught short when it comes to planning and carrying out the steps necessary to achieve them.

You have a tendency to bend the truth when it doesn’t quite fit your preferred reality. Probably, you are not even conscious of this tendency in yourself and are not aware of your “distortion” of facts. You also allow yourself to believe what you want when it comes to people. This can set you up for deception; a good salesperson could always win you over to believe in them and their product.

Education is of utmost importance to you, and once you have completed school you could do well in education, public relations, writing, or any profession involving travel. It would be wise for you to put off your education until you have earned your degree in the “school of life.” Attending school (or later working in education) helps you sharpen your judgment and develop self-discipline. If you ever hope to achieve success in this lifetime, you must learn these lessons first. Otherwise all your dreams and ambitions will get you nowhere.

You are particularly prone to nervous disorders and other maladies caused by anxiety and frustration. Be sure to give yourself leisure time to spend just for yourself, and get lots of rest. This will have to be a conscious effort on your part. No one else will be able to convince you to change your ways; you’ll have to do it for yourself.
Venus inconjunct Uranus (Strength: 2.47)

Often you neglect your own needs in order to please others, who are always eager to have you serve them. Because you react to the problems of those around you with abundant sympathy and understanding, they try to dump their problems on you to carry for them–and often you are all too willing to oblige.

In truth, you do not help anyone by trying to solve their problems for them. They never learn to stand on their own two feet as long as you let them lean on you. If you are unable to help someone in a time of crisis, you often suffer from guilt pains afterwards. But in this way you allow them to learn the lesson that their crisis situation brings without rescuing them. So learn to mind your own business and let others’ problems remain their problems.

By constantly trying to please others, you are effectively “buying” their friendship. Then later you will feel as if they took advantage of your good graces. Although others may attempt to exploit your generosity, they can only succeed in doing so if you allow it. Be sure that new friends are sincere before lavishing them with favors. You can also test this sincerity by asking favors of them now and then. This is especially true in love relationships. Since you tend to be impulsive, you need to trust your partner explicitly.

You are intelligent and sympathetic toward the needs of others, and this allows you to get out of difficult situations more easily than others. Just be sure that others don’t hand you all their knots in life to untie, such as co-workers who give you the hardest projects.

You would do well in a career in the arts. You may underemphasize the importance of your talent, but try seeking the opinion of a disinterested third party. Your level of competency may surprise you.
Sun inconjunct Mars (Strength: 2.17)

You have a great deal of energy and are eager to demonstrate your abilities to others. These are admirable qualities, but they usually work against you because you seem to choose the wrong people to devote your energy to. Therefore you are often disappointed when your diligent efforts are not appreciated by those you serve. This creates many problems in your life that are unnecessary.

The key to success for you is to realize that you are indeed a very competent person. That way you no longer have to prove it to yourself by proving it to others. People will love and respect you whether or not you break your neck trying to please them. It would be best for you to put your enthusiasm and energy to good use by becoming an expert in your field. Then when others are willing to pay a premium price for your services (and of course you will deserve it), you will finally be convinced that you are worthy.

In a career you would do well as a professional researcher, physical therapist, or diagnostician. Or you may enter a specialized trade, such as carpenter or plumber. You take great pride in your work, so whatever you do will be well worth the price you will charge. You value the respect of others and will not offer anyone shoddy service. As long as you can feel your job has been done well, you are satisfied, even if it doesn’t pay real well.

Just be sure that you don’t allow yourself to be used by those who would exploit your talents and try to take credit for your ideas. In your love life you may underestimate your lovability and feel that you have to win the affection of your lover. You do not commit yourself to a relationship on a whim, but rather take such a decision very seriously. As a mate you are highly dependable and trustworthy.
Venus square Jupiter (Strength: 1.61)

Any Jupiter contacts to Venus indicate that you never have a shortage of possible love or sex partners in your life. With the square, you may wish at times that you did. You must learn to practice discrimination and keep high standards in your choice of a partner. Be yourself and you will attract those who are best for you.

You are generous when it gets you something in return. Don’t try to justify not helping someone by believing that they wouldn’t have appreciated it anyway. Learn to give unconditionally without expecting a return. It all comes back, you know, whether it’s from the same person or not. Helping others makes you feel good, which is important if you are to maintain a positive outlook in life.

Guard against any tendency to be careless about responsibilities. You like for things to go your way and can be hard to deal with when they don’t. In confrontations you may feel that if the other person only understood you, there would be no problem.

You would do well in any occupation which utilizes communication skills. Be careful not to be defensive on the job. People are not all out to take advantage of you. Give them a chance and you’ll find they are willing to meet you halfway. There’s no need to be suspicious of a sincerely extended helping hand.

Be careful that you can afford to indulge yourself in the finer things in life before you spend the money. Also, be careful not to over-indulge in food and develop a weight problem. The best diet for you would be one low in carbohydrates. Get lots of rest and take frequent breaks while working.
Venus inconjunct Pluto (Strength: 1.49)

You tend to overdo in your relationships with others, and may create a burden for yourself by giving to excess. Anyone with a sad story can persuade you to help them. Actually, it is your urge for acceptance and approval that causes you to overextend yourself in such cases. You would reap much satisfaction from working with social organizations or enterprises dedicated to creating a better world for all humankind.

On the job you may volunteer your services repeatedly or end up holding the bag by paying more than your share of expenses shared by your co-workers. For example, you may end up paying for lunches, etc. out of your own pocket when the expense should have been shared by others. Be careful not to let this happen to you repeatedly and to have others consider you a soft touch.

You are easily misled in love by partners who lavish affection on you. Or you may encounter loves who demand that you demonstrate your love for them physically. Don’t fall for this line; learn to protect your own interests. Watch for physical problems concerning the reproductive system.

You have tremendous sexual energies and are not often “wasted” following a sexual encounter. Although this may leave you feeling that something is missing, try to see your leftover sexual energy as a head start on future enjoyment. You need to practice patience in bed. In some situations you may try to use sex to manipulate or control others, and you would probably succeed. You should resist the temptation to use your power this way.
Jupiter trine Uranus (Strength: 1.08)

If you take full advantage of your creative talents, you can achieve whatever goals you set for yourself. You are quick to recognize opportunity when it knocks, and some people would consider you extremely “lucky.”

You could do well in a career in education, politics, law, and religion. You are a good leader and are especially good with children. People will often come to you with their problems.

It is essential that you have personal freedom, and you will fight anyone who tries to restrict you. Travel would be very mind-expanding for you, and you should take advantage of any opportunity to visit new lands.

You are always sincere (even with your enemies) and are warm toward your friends. You are very optimistic and have a good deal of faith in your abilities. You can become impatient with others who never seem to try to succeed but instead expect to fail before they begin.

You need total honesty from your love partner and will offer him or her much spiritual encouragement. You are well known among your friends for being unselfish and giving.
Sun conjunct Mercury (Strength: 1.00)

You have very strong opinions and don’t hesitate to state them without being asked. This can be irritating to people, especially since you tend to dismiss their own opinions as unimportant. You usually have the first and last word in any discussion. In your haste to be first, you may make decisions prematurely. This means you may have to retract what you’ve said later, and this is not easy for you. You don’t like to admit you were wrong and can be very self-centered.

You are creative and could be a good leader if you would take the time to make good decisions. You need to take others’ needs into consideration and to learn a little humility. At times you can be something of a “know-it-all,” which can be very annoying to others. Try to cultivate some objectivity.

Communication comes naturally for you, and you can express yourself articulately. You love to give orders but may become frustrated if they are not followed. You are not above intimidating others to get their support. Express this aspect more positively by inspiring rather than threatening others. Your enthusiasm can be infectious, and you can work well with the public. You are good at making and carrying out plans.

In your love life, be careful of your tendency to misinterpret your partner’s signals. Try to see yourself through their eyes during times of misunderstanding. Your partner should be able to take your directness and lack of diplomacy. You speak straight from the heart.

Sun opposite Moon (Strength: 0.35)

Your emotions (the Moon) and your ego (the Sun) are diametrically opposed to each other, and this results in a conflict between these two sides of yourself. This leads to difficulty in relating to others, as your inner conflict is projected into your relationships. You often act impulsively and then regret it later. It’s hard for you to accept life’s little failures at first, but you eventually learn that they are the essence of life and learning.

Often your need to assert your own individuality conflicts with your duties and obligations to loved ones. Although you would rather they support your individual expression, they somehow leave you feeling guilty–as though you have abandoned them for your own whimsical pursuits.

You must learn to “cut the cord” with your past and to live in the present. Take charge of defining and achieving your life’s goals. Don’t wait for opportunity to find its way to your door. Don’t pout when things don’t work out your way. And remember to take some time out for yourself– a constantly hectic pace is not healthy for you.

Relationships are very important to you, and you need a partner who understands you (and loves you anyway). Your mate must also be your friend, and he or she must love you deeply and support you in your goals in life. They must be able to inspire you to recognize and develop latent talents and bolster you in times of weakness. Of course, s
uch a person is rare; be willing to give what you need to receive.

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 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 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 Mutable

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone’s friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others’ needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.
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.
Lack of Cardinal

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

A lack of planets in the Cardinal signs can be offset by a Cardinal sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Angular houses.

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 Taurus

(Keynote: I OWN)

You have deep material and spiritual concerns and are patient, kind, romantic and firm in your resolves. You are also capable of being stubborn, unyielding, self-indulgent, possessive and jealous. You enjoy tangibles that have weight and intrinsic worth, and display your assets and achievements prominently. Your aesthetic hunger makes you a patron of the arts. You will forgive, but not forget an injustice. A need for security can override your integrity, but you will defend your means to achieve an end because you cannot accept yourself if others find you wanting.
Moon in Pisces

(The Wishful)

You go with your emotions and change your desires from moment to moment, but are always hopeful for the future. You are sensitive and easily discouraged by rebuffs; your potent imagination makes you susceptible to imagined hurts and slights. You may adopt food or fantasies as a panacea for disappointments in the love and understanding that are as important to you as breathing. Look for solid ground on which to stand. You can build a life that is productive and pleasurable by giving your artistic talents commercial expression to bolster your ego as well as your purse.
Mercury in Taurus

(The Dedicated)

You believe in the “golden rule” and extend the benefit of the doubt. You may be slow to anger, but can be physically forceful; will forgive, but never forget an injustice. Your powers of rationalization demand that you take time to prepare ahead for any task you undertake, which may be mistaken for procrastination. If you have a weak point, it is being too set in your ways, but on the plus side, once committed, you can be depended upon to follow through.
Venus in Pisces

(The Compassionate)

You often realize the needs of others before they ask your help and are on hand to volunteer your time, money and services for those less fortunate than yourself. Emotions overrule your practicality in most cases and sentimental compassion may override personal relationships. If you are “unlucky” in love, perhaps you should not sacrifice it on the altar of public charity, but also acknowledge the needs of those who care for you and deserve consideration.
Mars in Leo

(The Grandee)

You recognize your potential and will find creative ways of enlisting the aid of those who can promote your success. If there is risk involved in your rise, you will enjoy the adventure, but may suffer the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” You share your victories, but conceit can cost you needed support. You may also be too quick to invite love affairs which go nowhere, but will waste your time and damage your ego. Take your time. You deserve the best.
Jupiter in Aries

(The Pioneer)

You see the potential in everything and everybody, but success is not the same for everyone. While nothing seems impossible to you, others are not blessed with your optimism that “where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Undaunted by failure, you will not settle for less than the best and will try to reach a star, long after you’ve gained a mountain-top.
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.
Uranus in Virgo

(The Quirky)

You have talent for discovering unusual types of diet and herbal remedies, but must present an authoritative platform before encouraging others to try them. Otherwise, you may be taken as a “quack” instead of a mechanist who qualifies as a valuable teacher. A government position may introduce you to other countries and the fundamentals in ancient science as your foundation. Employ a critical eye as a useful tool when discerning suitable applications in the healing arts.
Neptune in Scorpio

(The Initiator)

You take great delight in other people’s secrets and may use them to advantage. If you have information that needs disclosure for the benefit of others, you may expose it in a subtle, but effective way. You may also use your knowledge to promote a principle or public figures while working behind the scenes. A leaning towards self-indulgence needs careful monitoring so that your strength is not used in abusive ways, but as a benefactor who prefers to remain anonymous.
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 Cancer

(The Regressor)

Your biggest stumbling block is your pride. If you don’t receive the respect you feel you deserve, you will distance the love you desire. Learn to give without expectation of rewards and remember the selfless nurturing received in childhood. Offer that same care to others who need it now, if you would receive full value for emotional investments.
Planets in Aspect

Moon conjunct Venus (Strength: 6.62)

(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.
Sun trine Uranus (Strength: 6.38)

(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.
Mercury square Saturn (Strength: 4.35)

(The Immovable)

You see self-containment and a stoic ability to survive as virtues. However, you are apt to lack communication skills which could expand your horizons and save you from feeling isolated from the friendship you crave. Your sense of responsibility is admirable, but you cannot expect others to accept your over-critical, pessimistic attitudes, whether you mean to project them or not. Add flexibility and a sense-of-humor for better balance in your seemingly lackluster life.
Mars square Neptune (Strength: 3.15)

(The Smoke Screen)

You often deal from weakness instead of the real strength you possess, or hide behind the mask of a bully or someone too idealistic to be practical. You fear if others see the “real” you, they will not appreciate your very worthwhile qualities and take advantage. Stop playing games if you wish to succeed in relationships. Decide to face issues honestly, or enlist the proper support to assist you over the hurdles and keep you on the straight course you must travel to achieve success.
Mercury opposite Neptune (Strength: 0.65)

(The Dazed)

Your gentle nature forbids harsh or uncharitable treatment. Confusion may make a formal education, direction of goals or a life-work unrealistic, unless your sensitivity is taken into account. You have a high spiritual calling, and are intuitive and compassionate, which often guides you into practical channels where you may use your talents to heal mankind. Special gifts need special development. There are those who will understand, encourage and abet you.
Uranus in a quintile aspect to Neptune (Strength: 0.60)

(The Pupil)

You will undergo radical transformation more than once as you progress from neophyte to adept in the school of life. You look for new and different ways to relate to your place in the sun and the universe, and will be happier in philosophies or religions that express “new thought” than in traditional frameworks. You will attract unusual companions who are involved in the same kind of metaphysical or esoteric studies that you explore; you will support each other in your findings.
Jupiter inconjunct Uranus (Strength: 0.21)

(The Overeager)

Your optimism is your weak point, as well as the thing that keeps you going against all odds. If one door closes, you are sure to try to open a better one. In spite of the fact that you often fail because you are ahead of your time, you believe that some day your ship will come in. Prepare to unload it. If you can stop overextending yourself, you may be in the right place at the right time. Experience will prove that sometimes an element of fortune is necessary to succeed.
Moon conjunct Jupiter (Strength: 0.13)

(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.
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 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.
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.
Abundant Mutable

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone’s friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others’ needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.
Lack of Cardinal

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

A lack of planets in the Cardinal signs can be offset by a Cardinal sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Angular houses.

Introduction

The following pages contain a brief evaluation of key elements of your birth chart, although it is by no means complete. Astrology can reveal many things about a person’s life and personality, and you could study your chart for a lifetime without knowing the answers to all of your questions. The descriptions that follow will give you a “thumbnail” introduction to yourself through astrology.

In interpreting your chart, this report considers the sign of the planets and the north node in your chart, as well as their house placements. It also describes the sign of the Ascendant and the strongest aspects between the planets.

You may note that some of the following descriptions appear to contradict each other–and indeed we are all walking bundles of contradiction. If you examine yourself carefully, you will probably realize that you do in fact possess the qualities of both conflicting descriptions. Even though some parts of the reading may seem to clash, you will see that certain themes are repeated throughout the following pages. These are the ones that will become major issues in your life.

The readings stress that you are the ultimate decider of your fate. The stars may indicate the hand you were dealt at birth, but it is up to you to play that hand well enough to achieve your goals. Also, bear in mind that every “bad” aspect of a chart also has a “good” side. How it is expressed is really up to you. We tend to work at expressing ourselves more positively most of the time and only lapse into the negative behavior described when depressed, angry or scared. Or it is possible that some aspects may better describe your personality or behavior earlier in life. They may seem alien now because you have already worked through them.

A “Strength” number precedes each aspect description; this number takes into account how exact the aspect is, whether the aspect is a major or minor one, 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 act it out in your life.
Planets in Signs

Sun in Taurus

“I shall sit here,” he said,
“on and off, for days and days.”
–Lewis Carroll

Natives of the sign Taurus are well known for their stubbornness. Like their symbol, the Bull, they are slow to anger but can be quite violent when aroused. Then after they’ve kicked up their heels and charged at you a few times, they go back to grazing peacefully in the pasture. Taurus jealously guards his or her tranquil environment and will brook no interference.

Since it is an earth sign, Taurus natives usually have their feet planted firmly on terra firma. They are practical and stable people, but they will not hesitate to spend money extravagantly on the finer things in life and will insist on the best of everything. They appreciate art objects, good music, fine wines and beautiful surroundings and are willing to pay for them. Since Taurus is ruled by Venus, it is also the sign of love. Taureans are romantic, affectionate and sensuous, and they are fiercely protective of their mates.

It is not easy for Taureans to undergo radical change in their lives because they usually resist. But once they decide to change directions, they adapt very well to their newfound goal and can apply themselves effectively. One of the major lessons that Taureans must learn is to cooperate with the changes taking place in their lives rather than fighting them.

Many Taureans go on to succeed in life, partly because this is the only way they can live the lifestyle they prefer. They are not likely to be impulsive gamblers in life but instead plan their endeavors well. Most Taureans are social animals and get along well with most others. Why not? They are naturally graceful, charming and interesting people.
Moon in Pisces

This Moon sign indicates strong intuitive and psychic qualities. You should generally follow your intuition, although you may be afraid to do so, especially if you have unfavorable aspects to your Moon. Emotionally you are extremely sensitive, and for this reason the Pisces Moon is more easily dealt with in a woman’s chart than in a man’s.

You care a great deal about others and seek to serve society as a whole in your own way. Just remember to find time to take care of your own needs; don’t become a martyr to a cause. You give love freely to others, and if you are not careful you may be deceived by people who would take advantage of your generosity.

With your ability to see all the flaws in society, you may feel like rejecting the world altogether. Your life probably will not be one of the Cinderella or Prince Charming of your dreams, but you will eventually see that this is all part of your karmic experience in this lifetime. Learn to think positively and be grateful for small gifts and talents as well as large ones.

You are not afraid to work hard for what you believe in, but you sometimes tend to overlook your own needs in the process. Be sure not to drain yourself totally by giving all your energy to others. This can lead to physical problems of your own, such as alcoholism, chronic cold or flu. Don’t be ashamed to satisfy your own needs in life.

Since you are subject to wild swings in mood, you need a mate who is more stable than you are. In turn you can give them pure, unselfish, transformative love and compassion.
Mercury in Taurus

Although it may take you longer than others to master a concept, once you have done so it becomes a permanent part of you. You have many interests and want to absorb every detail you can about them all. While you may read theories in books, you will learn best by actually applying them in material form. You appreciate good craftsmanship and have the patience to acquire such skills yourself. Although you appreciate beauty for its own sake, you always look for a practical application for everything.

With Mercury in Taurus you are highly intuitive, yet intellectually grounded. You appreciate art, romance and the finer things in life, and you will share your good fortune with loved ones. Being sight-oriented, you get more enjoyment from reading a book than listening to a lecture. You are not a good listener and have a talent for tuning out unwanted and intrusive sounds as if they didn’t exist. It is difficult for you to learn to put the needs of others before your own. If this is the case, one of your greatest lessons in this life will be to overcome self-absorption.

With your shrewd business mind and common sense, you could be a good manager. Your mind is strong enough to endure challenges, and you are stubborn enough to insist that regulations be followed to the letter. Since you love to accumulate material possessions, you should resist the temptation to be greedy. You express affection for your partner in a touching and loving manner.
Venus in Pisces

You are highly emotional and like to be “tuned in” to your lover’s needs. As a lover you are very gentle and caring, and you seek a lover who offers you the same treatment. With Venus in Pisces, you tend to be attracted to “stray puppies” — people who need to be loved and saved from their sorry lot in life. Just be careful that you don’t take on the problems of others to the point that they become your own. Other people need the chance to learn and grow through solving their own problems.

Since you tend to idealize your mate instead of seeing their bad qualities as well as their good, you set yourself up for disappointment in love by expecting your partner to be perfect. Once you commit yourself to a relationship, you become very dedicated. Just be careful that you do not allow your partner to mistreat you. There is no need for you to be a martyr to love.

Sensitivity and compassion are qualities that you appreciate in a lover. You especially would like to have a lover who can intuit your needs psychically so that you don’t even have to articulate them. But be realistic–your partner doesn’t have a crystal ball. Be willing to communicate directly at least part of the time.

You may carry karmic baggage from other lives into this lifetime. This placement has produced many martyrs and sacrificial lambs. Your partner should be someone whom you feel you can truly trust, because you are prone to deception in matters of the heart. You are a tender and sensitive lover, and you seek spiritual rather than just sexual union with your mate.
Mars in Leo

With Mars in Leo, you are highly creative and artistically talented. You also have the enthusiasm, dedication and ambition required to put these gifts to good use. And, unlike some other Mars placements, you will not be modest or shy about it.

You are impulsive and passionate about most everything in life, no matter what age you may be. The only danger of this Mars placement is that pride may make you stubborn and quarrelsome. Don’t let your pride get you into difficult situations. Know when to say you’re not physically up to an impossible challenge. Otherwise, you could strain your body, and specifically your heart.

You are a warm, loyal and open lover and are extremely generous with your partner. You don’t have much patience for elaborate courting rituals, but you are a very attentive lover once the ice has been broken. You will go to extreme lengths to make your lovemaking sessions perfect and to be creative in the bedroom. Be sure not to steal the show, though; let your partner come up with his or her own ideas.

Mars in Leo gives you the gift of being able to make any love affair or romantic situation a magical one. You treat your lover like royalty, and you are very pleased if they return the favor. Most of all, your partner must respect you and allow you to maintain your dignity (the famous Leo pride). You would not be happy, for instance, with someone who was obnoxious or otherwise embarrassed you in public.
Jupiter in Aries

You have an over-abundance of energy and physical stamina, and you enjoy an active lifestyle (although you don’t always think things through before acting). With your optimistic lifestyle, you take on challenges others would avoid because you believe you cannot fail. You can inspire others with your bubbly enthusiasm. You don’t mind hard work, but you don’t like taking orders. For this reason, persons with Jupiter in Aries are often self-employed.
Saturn in Aquarius

You have tremendous self-discipline and stamina, and you do not waste your energy on needless tasks. When making plans, you are very practical and careful to be well prepared. Sometimes your goals may seem so important to you that you overlook others’ needs to achieve their goals as well. Be tolerant and forgiving of others, even if they are not as “together” as you are. You have a keenly developed mind; your challenge in this lifetime is to develop good relations with others.
Uranus in Virgo

(1961-1969)

You have a sharp, analytical mind, and you will use it to find workable solutions to the many ills of society. You are interested in alternative forms of healing, such as psychic healing and herbal treatments. Since you are cautious by nature, you will think through all your ideas thoroughly to be sure no details are overlooked. One of your challenges is to learn to listen to your intuition rather than just your rational mind.
Neptune in Scorpio

(1955-1970)

You are driven to uncover the deepest secrets within society, and you have a keen interest in metaphysical sciences. With your strong desire for physical pleasures, you must avoid overindulging in food, drink, sex or drugs in an attempt to escape the tension of daily life.
Pluto in Virgo

(1956-1972)

Your generation saw the birth of social reforms, such as free medical clinics and food banks. Chemicals also became popular, and many miracle drugs were discovered. There was also renewed interest in organic health foods, vitamins and herbal remedies. You have a strong desire to achieve perfection. Avoid being too critical of yourself or others.
North Node in Cancer

You have spent many lifetimes accumulating wealth and managing others. Although you achieved material success and gained the respect of your peers, you did so without regard for the needs of others. During this lifetime you feel compelled to succeed in order to regain the respect you once had. You control your emotions very well and are not easy to get close to. Although you may feel others are neglecting you, you have put up a wall to keep them away. Your challenge is to give nourishment as well as receive it.
Chiron in Pisces

You are highly sensitive and intuitive, and probably have keen psychic abilities. With your strong sense of compassion, healing comes naturally to you, and you may enter a career in the healing arts. In your personal and professional lives, you tend to take on the feelings of those around you, and at times it may be necessary for you to get away and find alone time to “find yourself” again.

You are highly idealistic, and you have a sincere desire to somehow help make the world a better place. You truly want to see the best in everyone and everything, and for this reason you can sometimes be misled or deceived. Be willing to question the truth of what someone tells you if your intuition tells you something is not right. Listen to your inner guidance, and you will always appreciate the underlying lessons in life’s daily events.
Planets in Aspect

Moon conjunct Venus (Strength: 6.62)

You are sincere in your relations with others. You make friends easily, and can make adjustments to new friends to allow them to feel comfortable with you. You are also quite sensitive, and your feelings are easily hurt by harshness or rudeness. You try to be civil to everyone, even those who are not civil to you. You can also be quite tactful and diplomatic. Your mood can be so “nice,” that people may wonder whether you have ulterior motives, and they may distrust you for this reason.

You take great pride in your personal appearance. Your type of loving is gentle and sensitive, though passionate and intense. You are good at anticipating your lover’s needs and satisfying them. This often results in a good marriage for natives with this aspect.

Your youth was a pleasant one, and you enjoy having a comfortable home of your own as an adult. You are generous with others less fortunate than you. This is not to ease your conscience, but because you genuinely are concerned about others.

Your one problem in relationships is that you will have a hard time adjusting to thinking in terms of a couple. You are used to having only yourself to please. You must also be careful not to bring your family into the relationship.
Sun trine Uranus (Strength: 6.38)

You are highly creative and have great leadership ability. Your personal magnetism makes you a pleasure to be around, and your understanding of people attracts many to you. Over the years you have learned to exploit your considerable creative abilities and to make good use of your talents. You enjoy the success you achieve, but you don’t generally let it go to your head.

With your abundance of ideas you can accomplish most anything you set out to do. Success comes relatively easy to you (unless other aspects in your chart strongly contradict this). You would benefit greatly from an occupation in social services, education, counseling, or spiritually oriented programs. These jobs would provide you with the good feeling that you had done something for others, which is the reward you really seek.

You have an uncanny ability to tell when someone needs your help. Unconsciously, you project your own positive energy toward those who are down. You are always willing to listen to others’ hardships, and you give generously of yourself.

In love relationships you openly express your feelings and need a partner who is similarly inclined. Your partner will benefit from your optimism and enthusiasm for life. You deal well with emotional changes in a relationship and may have to be understanding if your partner does not. You are highly imaginative and inventive in lovemaking.
Mercury square Saturn (Strength: 4.35)

Your childhood conditioning inhibits your efforts to exploit your imaginative potential. Your thinking is somewhat traditional, and it may be difficult for you adapt to changing trends and new ideas. Change does not come easy for you because of your inner insecurities, and your opinions can seem rather narrow-minded to others.

You were probably a slow learner in school and resented having to maintain good grades. It’s not that you are academically incapable, you are just somewhat lazy mentally. If it takes more than minimal effort to complete a task, you become depressed. This results in lack of enthusiasm in exploring your creative potential. You don’t like competition because of your own lack of confidence in your abilities. Try to keep pace with the many changes taking place in the world around you; this is the only way you will make progress.

If you can brush aside the above negative feelings, you can make plans to carry out your ideas. Instead of fearing defeat, be brave enough to accept reality. Instead of moping about how you can’t do something, make changes so that you can. Use the lessons of your past to help you in the future instead of dwelling on regrets over “spilt milk.” If you can maintain a positive attitude and learn to accept change, you could be successful in education, politics, science, natural resource conservation, government service or architecture.

Be sure you read all the fine print in any legal documents that you sign; you can become quite vengeful if you are crossed. You resent authority on the job and can become very bitter if you are passed over for a promotion you think you deserve. If this should happen to you, look again at yourself and make sure your performance is up to snuff instead of whining over sour grapes. A positive attitude will get you much further in life.

In relationships you may have difficulty communicating your needs to your partner. This is not because you lack verbal skills, but because you are afraid your partner will not approve of your requests. Resist any temptation to nag your lover. Instead, try some constructive criticism–and you need deliver your comments only once.
Mars square Neptune (Strength: 3.15)

Your attempts to assert yourself often result in turmoil for you and/or for others. Therefore, you swing from one extreme to the other–asserting your needs powerfully at times and at others slipping into a state of total apathy.

It would be best if you could be self-employed or at least manage to work alone in your occupation. Because of your need to serve others, you would do well in the field of medicine and healing or social services. This way you can assert yourself and serve others at the same time. Also, if you work alone you will have no one but yourself to blame when things go wrong, which may be difficult for you since you tend to point fingers at others.

You lead a somewhat sexually repressed life although your sexual needs are significant. You suffer from anxieties regarding your sexuality (probably carried over from parental conditioning around sex) and therefore find it difficult to find satisfaction in this area.

Also, you may be attracted to persons who are unavailable, perhaps because they are already married. And then you languish in guilt over fulfilling your desires with someone who does not belong to you. Sometimes you find it more convenient to see your lover as you wish them to be rather than as they really are. You tend to lower your standards when choosing a lover and end up with someone who is interested in you primarily for sex. You may feel bitter when you are disappointed in love, but you really have only yourself to blame for setting it up that way.

You can be accident-prone at times, and you should avoid occupations which require the use of heavy machinery and other mechanical devices. You are also more subject than most to infections and disease, so you should be very careful with your health. Watch your diet and hygienic practices.
Mercury opposite Neptune (Strength: 0.65)

You are very idealistic, and you are often disappointed in your relationships with others because you expect them to live up to your unrealistic expectations. You are naturally suspicious and will not tolerate dishonesty in others. Once you have decided to let down your defenses and trust someone, you take it very harshly if they let you down.

Because you are highly sensitive, it is best if you work behind the scenes and allow someone else to do the negotiating and public relations work. If you perform these tasks yourself, others will detect your suspicion and will be antagonized by you. You should choose a career which allows you to express your powerful creative and artistic abilities. Allow yourself to express your ideas creatively without trying to compare your work with anyone else’s. Develop your own skills to the max; you are quite unique.

In your love life your suspicious nature can work against you. You fall into love rather easily and become fascinated with your partner, so that you must learn to distinguish between love and infatuation. In order to improve communication in your relationships, always speak your mind when something is bothering you. Otherwise, your partner will find it difficult to understand and meet your needs.

You will be happiest with a lover whose judgment you respect, who can offer you a “reality check” when you are in doubt. A practical partner would also help to put some of your many creative ideas into practice.
Uranus in a quintile aspect to Neptune (Strength: 0.60)

You were born during a time when there was a great deal of unrest among America’s youth (in the mid to late 1960s). Our universities were the breeding ground for revolutionary minds, and young adults began crying out against social injustice and corrupt governments. As you mature and come into power, your generation will complete the tasks begun in the late 1960s. Therefore, you and others born during this time period have retained the quality of that time. You are a revolutionary thinker, and you are suspicious of any attempt by organizations or governments to withhold or distort truths in an attempt to control the masses.

Persons with this aspect will insist on living life their way. They will not compromise their values and will not hesitate to loudly voice their opinions. People born during this time become social activists very young and will be quick to demand that their interests be represented in government. Individual rights are very important to members of your generation, and you will not be forced into anything. And you will not hesitate to take on City Hall if you deem it necessary.

In your love life, you may find it easier to relate to those close to your own age, for they will share the perspective of this aspect.
Jupiter inconjunct Uranus (Strength: 0.21)

Your life goals may change radically several times during your life. This is largely because you are unrealistic in your expectations and tend to “bite off more than you can chew.” Learn to be more cautious in assessing your goals and to exercise self-discipline and self-imposed management in order to achieve them. Don’t let the opinions or advice of others determine your expectations of yourself. Set your own standards no matter what anyone else wants from you.

Perhaps it would be best for you to hire a business manager or consult a close and trustworthy friend who can act as a counselor to you when you are faced with major decisions. If you do find someone to advise you, you will need to learn that you must not only ask for advice, you must take it. Ultimately, you are in charge of deciding your fate. It doesn’t hurt to listen to advice so long as you use your own judgment as to which to accept.

In a career you would do well in medicine, law, education or research. In order to succeed, it is imperative that you organize your priorities and plan carefully to achieve them. Since you are basically easy-going, others may try to take advantage of your good graces. Be willing to stand up for your own rights if you are challenged.

You tend to overreact to your partner’s expectations in affairs of the heart. You have so much love to give that you don’t always make sure the other person feels the same way. You lavish others with affection and declarations of love before they are ready for it. Relax and realize that you don’t have to prove how much you love anyone. They will know it is there.

Be sure to take time from your busy schedule to rest, for this is important for your physical health and well-being. Do not overindulge in food, drink, drugs, etc.
Moon conjunct Jupiter (Strength: 0.13)

You become emotionally involved in the affairs of society and the world as a whole. In fact you can make an important contribution to the well-being of society as a whole because you have a deep understanding of society’s problems and insight into solutions. Your concern for others is genuine and sincere, and you will always offer your help when others are in need.

Although you may not be aware of it, you have a reputation for being generous and helpful to others. You may even offer shelter for those who are down and out. You learned early in life that is indeed more blessed to give than receive, and others admire this quality in you.

As a parent, you strive to encourage your children to follow your lead in serving others. They admire your strong faith in the most hopeless of situations; you always expect a change for the better. You feel an obligation to help raise others’ consciousness when you see the need, and your counsel is often well received.

You would do well in an occupation such as social work, public relations, rehabilitation, counseling, and other areas in which you would work a great deal with the underprivileged and handicapped members of society. It is possible that you will travel internationally in your career, such as with the Peace Corps, VISTA, CARE, etc. You would also excel in medicine, law and even religion; all of these require understanding, compassion and a certain amount of spiritual insight. You may find yourself drawn to organizations that are fighting a hopeless battle against great odds.

You are generally admired and respected by others, especially your close friends and family. In some way or another you will establish a legacy of your own to leave behind to those who carry on after you. Just be sure that you take some time for yourself during your crusade; this is very important for your physical and mental health. Don’t be afraid to ask for help with your own burdens.
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 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.
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.
Abundant Mutable

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone’s friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others’ needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.
Lack of Cardinal

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

A lack of planets in the Cardinal signs can be offset by a Cardinal sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Angular houses.
