Introduction

 

This Spirit Success Report from Halloran Software’s AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program draws upon 576 paragraphs which interpret the places of the planets at the time of your birth, describing your personal houses, sign placements, and planetary aspects.

 

These astrological delineations depict your potential and how to make the most of it, or the challenges you will continue to face and how to confront and benefit from them.  Though you may change through experience, your inherent characteristics will still motivate how you act and react to circumstances.  How you handle yourself is really a clue to your success, and it is up to you to make the “right” choices.

 

Here are the parts which make up your chart:

 

HOUSES:  Govern sections of your life, e.g., your money, your health, your partners, etc.  They are also meaningful as to where your early interests lie and if they are worth pursuing.

 

SIGNS:  Contribute feelings or vibrations to “color” planets, e.g., MERCURY rules GEMINI and VIRGO and emphasizes their qualities of thought, travel, health, and work.  JUPITER rules SAGITTARIUS and higher education, spiritual growth, and law.

 

ASPECTS:  Are angles combining the planets in the SIGNS/HOUSES that trigger the manner in which you will be influenced or can handle your qualities to advantage, e.g., MERCURY (thought) TRINE (in good aspect to) JUPITER (education and law) may indicate that you can succeed as a counselor in legal matters.

 

A “Strength” number precedes each ASPECT interpretation towards the end of the reading.  This number synthesizes how exact is the aspect, whether the aspect is major or minor, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles.  The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to live it out in your life.

 

You are most likely to feel and act out the Spirit Success Report’s sign and house placement interpretations when the planets involved are strong in your chart.  This is true especially of the outer planets, Jupiter through Pluto.  The Astrodynes program, also available from Halloran Software, calculates the respective power and harmony of all the planets in your chart.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Signs and Houses

 

 

Capricorn Ascendant

 

(The Constrained)

 

You seem, and may look, older than you are.  You tend to hold your head high so it appears you are looking “down your nose” at the world.  Your features are usually slender, and somewhat sharp.  You have a clear, concise way of speaking with authority that causes others to pay attention.  You are a student with a purpose, excellent study habits and are self-disciplined.  Because you work hard and expect to succeed, you have a good chance of doing so on your terms.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Sun in the Fourth House

 

(The Favorite)

 

You will probably think of your childhood as a happy time and relate well to your parents. Part of your attitude is because you take responsibility for your siblings, who look to you for counseling, as well as creating the fun and games of which all children are fond.  Because of your closeness, you may rely too much upon one another and have few outside contacts, but you’ll regard close friends as family and entertain in your home.  If you need psychological counseling at some time, you’ll easily recall early experiences to which a therapist can relate and discover the root of your problems.

 

 

 

Moon in Scorpio

 

(The Warrior)

 

Your ability to attract is so powerful that you can bring about almost anything you wish — and some things that you would rather evade.  Your emotions are intense and close to the surface.  You project them into your manner, and when you speak it is usually with authority so that others are compelled to listen.  You are self-reliant and would rather fight your battles alone with the confidence you will emerge as victor.  You are as determined in love as you are in conflicts, but few understand the intensity of your dominant nature or have a desire to endure your possessiveness.

 

 

Moon in the Tenth House

 

(The Celebrity)

 

Always on display, you are concerned with the impression you make.  A natural empathy with people lends insight to relate on almost any level, so a career in the spotlight has a good chance of succeeding, once you make up your mind to settle on an occupation. Your ambitions may produce an uneasy feeling you could do better if you had a new start, which may or may not be true.  Your motto should be “Get it right the first time.” (If not, you WILL try and try again!)

 

 

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.

 

 

Mercury in the Fourth House

 

(The Librarian)

 

You are most comfortable in familiar surroundings.  Parental attachments may delay your “leaving the nest” to be on your own.  Your home may be your office, or you see your office as a “second home.”  Though an avid reader, you seldom share the wealth of your fine mind.  In games of strategy you have no peer.  You have much to offer.  Expand your horizons.  Let others begin to know you.  You can maintain privacy, but invite the world to beat a path to your door.

 

 

Venus in Gemini

 

(The Inconstant)

 

Your sense of humor is infectious and your charm undeniable.  You are a born traveler and appeal to a wide variety of people with whom you share your multiple talents. Commitment in relationships is as difficult as staying with one job, unless you are the “boss.”  Whether formally-educated or not, you have a wealth of knowledge to share and a way of expressing yourself that is entirely captivating.  One can almost forgive you for being a “world-class flirt!”

 

 

Venus in the Fourth House

 

(The Peacemaker)

 

You express your desire for tranquility through the beauty you create.  Your home will reflect your excellent taste, but you tend to extravagance.  You have a talent to transform your surroundings, no matter how humble they seem.  If you choose a career in gardening, decorating, or caring for beautiful things, it will pay you well as you continue to demonstrate your special abilities to a sometimes-dreary world.

 

 

Mars in Pisces

 

(The Indeterminate)

 

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

 

 

Mars in the Second House

 

(The Moneymaker)

 

Money, possessions and things you personally value will always be important to you.  The danger is that egoistic Mars can be obsessive and the acquisition of money may represent your only achievement.  While money is power, your life-values are a different kind of wealth.  At some time, you will need a partner to manage your assets.  It is only by sharing what you have earned OR learned that you receive full benefit of what you have achieved.

 

 

Jupiter in Aquarius

 

(The Cosmopolitan)

 

You are truly liberal in your humanitarian views.  What some call “idealistic,” you practice as a way of life.  You sympathize with minority needs and work with the majority to improve mankind.  Visionary gifts allow you a glimpse of the future. If you succeed in your efforts to enrich the world, it will be a far better place in which to live.

 

 

Jupiter in the First House

 

(The Bon Vivant)

 

You love life and life loves you right back!  People enjoy your company, and you have plenty of it.  Your confidence inspires confidence and your very presence is a lift to the spirits.  If you exaggerate truth, it’s only because you are expansive by nature and if something is good, you want to make it better — and, you usually do!

 

 

Saturn in Gemini

 

(The Vassal)

 

Responsibilities of loved ones can limit your outstanding ability to express yourself.  You may adopt a life of fantasy to escape becoming hard or bitter.  Many writers epitomize your frustrations: Beatrix Potter, Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Bronte Sisters among them.  They were visionaries who overcame “self” to share a corner of their indomitable spirits.  Your lack of freedom is far less meaningful than the opportunity for self-discipline you will learn to value.

 

 

Saturn in the Fifth House

 

(The Kill-joy)

 

The influence of an overly-strict father or lack of a sense-of-humor may feed your reputation as a “wet blanket,” or you may find others spoiling YOUR fun!  Instead of enjoying pleasures of the moment, you may regard them as distractions that keep you from shouldering your burdens.  Your ambitions may be beyond the reach of your children.  Don’t become the dull boy in the proverb: (“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!”)  Lighten up!  Live a little!

 

 

Uranus in Libra

 

(The Bohemian)

 

You have artistic talent and appreciate modern, as well as traditional forms.  You are intelligent, ambitious and determined, but may change your goals too often. Your creative imagination and intuitive gifts blend well.  Relationships are trying, as you choose unlikely companions.  You make enemies because of unusual ideas, independence and your caustic wit. Once your efforts are channeled, you may attract opportunities that will lead to the success you have dreamed of.

 

 

Uranus in the Ninth House

 

(The Explorer)

 

The world is your playground.  You may study abroad, have a facility for languages and are influenced by the cultures you touch.   However, your interests may be scattered, rather than diversified, and if you take on too much, your health and ability to follow through may suffer.  Set definite goals, channel your energies, and like Marco Polo, you can contribute your most exotic and useful discoveries to mankind, bringing civilizations closer together.

 

 

Neptune in Sagittarius

 

(The Sage)

 

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

 

 

Neptune in the Eleventh House

 

(The Optimist)

 

You don’t believe in “impossible” dreams, look for some good in every situation and try to uncover the best in people. You enter each relationship with new hope, and give everyone the benefit of the doubt.  Possibly, past disappointments are the result of wishful thinking, when you did most of the giving.  Be sure that the friends you choose are worthy of your time.  Otherwise, you will set yourself up to be deceived by a generous heart, which you give so freely.

 

 

Pluto in Libra

 

(The Rational)

 

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

 

 

Pluto in the Eighth House

 

(The Rejuvenator)

 

Your life is one of constant change, as though you are living several lifetimes in one.  Your gifts of intuition and an ability to restore to advantage when things fall apart are in your favor.  You can usually see beneath the surface of any situation, which gives you a decided edge, but try to avoid circumstances which put someone else in the driver’s seat.  You can look forward to each transforming experience which usually announces a period of spiritual growth.

 

 

Scorpio Midheaven

 

You will do well in a career which involves your ability to feel out and involve others in a collaborative venture.  You are emotionally intuitive, both about potential partners and about the direction of society as a whole, so that you can speak what people are feeling.  You yourself may have gone through deep transformations connected to traumatic events.  You are comfortable reaching down into the depths of any subject and so make a good researcher or investigator.  You are happiest in an occupation which allows you to explore and produce constructive results.  Your strength may involve you in a power struggle with authorities until you can achieve a compromise.  Your commitment is such that you make a dangerous enemy.  Some people with this placement are so inflexible that they stay with a job that they hate.

 

Power and control will be issues in your life.  You have the ability to coordinate the efforts of others in teamwork, handling power tactfully and with concern for the rights of others.  Work with others for transformation and improvement, as opposed to maintenance of the status quo, and you will enjoy great success.  Selfishness, ruthlessness, and overkill are the negative possibilities of this placement.  Try to spread both the effort and the benefits to others.

 

Occupations consistent with your intense style of work include investigator, researcher, critic, engineer, programmer, mechanic, contractor, wrecker, exterminator, dramatic writer or poet,  sex therapist, tailor, musician, entrepreneur, government or large company worker, surgeon, chemist, pharmacist, detective, psychologist, mortician, insurance actuary, artist, or the military.  For the most personal career guide, also consider the nature of any planets which fall in the 10th house or conjoin the Midheaven, the sign and house placements of Pluto, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Capricorn

 

(The Infant)

 

You may be a “mama’s baby,” and enjoy the role, but must give up childhood pampering, or continue tossing on a sea of emotional turmoil.  When you assume adult responsibilities, you will exercise your fine qualities of honor, loyalty and discipline.  Then you will earn the respect and pride, as well as the love of parents and peers, which you have always known.

 

 

North Node in the Twelfth House

 

(The Neglected)

 

You may feel your high ideals set you apart, but are often aware that you are part of struggling humanity.  If you are unappreciated, you look inward for answers, and may find a morsel of truth.  But, life requires full participation.  In nurturing others, you will realize that we are all one and when the bell tolls, it does, indeed, “toll for thee!”

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Sun opposite Moon  (Strength:  6.86)

 

(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 energy in a positive manner.

 

 

Mars square Neptune  (Strength:  5.99)

 

(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.

 

 

Venus opposite Neptune  (Strength:  5.63)

 

(The Pretender)

 

You enjoy a private world of make-believe, which may seem preferable to reality.  You are capable of deceiving others in the name of “love” with the “best” of intentions.  You will never forget the pleasure or the pain of a love relationship and may continue to fantasize what might have been after it has ended.  Choose to use your persuasive nature to improve partnerships or increase your spirituality by believing or convincing others there is some good in everything.

 

 

Venus square Mars  (Strength:  5.62)

 

(The Arduous)

 

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

 

 

Saturn trine Uranus  (Strength:  5.22)

 

(The Technician)

 

You prepare for the future by attending to the present, but are not easily upset by unexpected changes, since you realize that “nothing is forever.”  If you feel that some modification or adjustment is in order, you will try to accommodate it within your structure.  But, a need for new skills is met with the idea that you will have extra tools to advance your position.  You are open to utilizing new ideas without sacrificing what you have worked hard to establish.

 

 

Sun conjunct Mercury  (Strength:  3.22)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon opposite Mercury  (Strength:  3.07)

 

(The Fluctuater)

 

Rather than face the “ups and downs” of everyday life, you may withdraw to get in touch with yourself.  Sort out what is “real” and what is emotional confusion that often keeps you from maintaining a position.  Since you will always relate to childhood programming, it is important that you have practical guidance that will afford you security you will need as you mature.  If you lack stability, periods of meditation may give you an insight to employ when you need it most.

 

 

Venus trine Pluto  (Strength:  1.86)

 

(The Altruistic)

 

If you set your sights on your heart’s desires, little can stop you from achieving, but your spiritual scope is beyond personal wishes.  Intensity of purpose motivates you in meaningful relationships.  If you cannot fit into structures, examine yourself to decide whether a beneficial change is necessary or if “love” is being used selfishly to dominate or control.  You will learn through experience, but must continue to look inward to appreciate the real power you possess.

 

 

Sun trine Pluto  (Strength:  1.32)

 

(The Success)

 

Your determination to succeed impresses others and attracts those who may help you.  You will define your goals and examine the changes required to accomplish them at each stage of your progress. If it means becoming a “new” person, you will undergo necessary reforms and transformation.  Good health accompanies your positive attitude.  At one with perfect spiritual harmony, you achieve the balance necessary to realize, accept and maintain a position of prominence.

 

 

Mercury inconjunct Uranus  (Strength:  0.23)

 

(The Misfit)

 

It is your opinion that “the best laid plans may go astray” — so why bother?  You are a bit of quicksilver that some may label “opportunist,” and surprisingly, your hunches may work to your benefit.  But, your ideas may be too bizarre or you are unwilling to accept proven methods of achievement.  Then, no matter how promising your potential, you may find yourself on the outside looking in at the prize for hard work and perseverance you refuse as a cornerstone for your success.

 

 

Venus trine Jupiter  (Strength:  0.14)

 

(The Contented)

 

You are happy with who you are, where you are and what you are, so are pleasantly agreeable as a friend or social companion.  The only thing that may prevent you from becoming rich and/or famous is your tendency to take it easy and your belief that tomorrow will take care of itself.  This may or not be true, but you will never know if you don’t summon the energy to round a corner and see for yourself how you may enhance your dreams and bring them to fruition.

 

 

 

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

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.

 

 

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).

 

 

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.
