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
Taurus Ascendant
(The Steadfast)
There is a look of substance about you. Others admire your thick hair, which may be curly or wavy. Though slow to anger, you may use force to defend yourself when aroused. You are resolutely stubborn, and generous beyond your means, to the point of being foolish. Others value your friendship and you are a welcome guest. You would rather be a “boss” than an employee, but will always give your best to a job, because you don’t know how to do anything “half-way.”
Sun in Pisces
(Keynote: I BELIEVE)
You are intuitive, sympathetic, kind and romantic. You can be insecure, changeable, deceitful and moody. Your ambitions often prod you into an early success. You dislike working in controlled environments and have an active imagination that can work for or against you. You can create problems by being indecisive or unreliable. Use logic over emotion when your overwhelming compassion for others indicates personal sacrifice. You are blessed with spiritual insight, inviting you to live life fully and not on the fringes. Your faith in “tomorrow” will help you to do so.
Sun in the Eleventh House
(The People-pleaser)
You are everybody’s friend, but not always a friend to everybody. You often value friendship above love and may choose to keep your friends for a lifetime. Quick to bond, you may be equally quick to separate from a relationship when it appears you have nothing in common. You will doubtless find a place in a variety of social and service clubs, and hold more than one office. You adapt easily and fit into almost any group because you know how to get the most out of a situation, refuse to compromise your ideals, and maintain harmony by finding values to which all can relate.
Moon in Gemini
(The Vigorous)
You can live by your wits and talk your way in and/or out of a situation quickly. You assume whatever image is expected, to your advantage, but can be tempted to deceive others. These qualities fit you to be a versatile actor or in some profession that requires lively debate, i.e. an attorney, or a politician. You are as good with your hands as your mind, but lack the perseverance to tackle a job that requires stick-to-itiveness. If you sight a goal and channel your remarkable mental abilities, you can employ the discipline necessary to accomplish it in record time.
Moon in the First House
(The Mystic)
You value the counsel of a mother-figure, but may not take her suggestions. Women will always boost your sense of spiritual self-worth. You are deeply aware of your superb intuition, but are inconsistent, so may not use it to advantage. If you can’t understand your actions, consider your rising sign, since you closely identify with your ASC. You are affected by the emotions of others. Try to tune into their needs and help to achieve them.
Mercury in Aries
(The Quick Study)
You “catch on” fast, but are apt to drop ideas as swiftly as you conceive them. Your assertive attitude may put off those who feel threatened by your ability to take charge. You usually go with first impressions and will only change your mind reluctantly, if proven wrong. Your famous temper may flare on occasion, but quarrels are quickly forgotten. You are self-serving, express confidently, and only need to modify your actions to achieve the rewards you desire.
Mercury in the Eleventh House
(The Mingler)
You are at your best when your hopes and wishes mesh with those of others. Your friends are like you, so you are convivially compatible. Together, you solve dilemmas, further ideas, organize and socialize — but you may see things too much alike to expand in another direction. You exemplify a fraternity; your parties are delightful, but with only the same guests invited, may in time become static and leave you longing for the variety missing from your fun.
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.
Venus in the Eleventh House
(The Organizer)
You are at your best working with groups of people and enjoy seeing that things go smoothly in meetings or social functions. As a committee head, you see both sides of every question so can arbitrate disagreements and keep peace in the ranks. As a fund-raiser, you are without equal. However, you may spend as much or more than you take in because of your determination that when you are in charge, everything will be the best and everyone will have a good time.
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.
Mars in the Fifth House
(The Playmate)
You are openly affectionate. Like an engaging puppy, you wheedle to get your way. If an old slipper is torn in the process, you know you’ll be forgiven. You shine in physical-contact sports. Your many friends admire you, but relationships suffer because you change partners often. Discipline is a hard, but necessary task-master, if you are to grow beyond the child that is no longer charming, but becomes a foolish adult, clinging to childish ways.
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?
Jupiter in the Twelfth House
(The Good Samaritan)
You enjoy doing good works anonymously and receive pleasure from knowledge that you benefit others. You may choose programs of institutional reform or a career in medicine to indulge your charitable work. Through acts of mercy, you feed your soul and will find numerous ways to swell your spirit.
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.
Saturn in the Eleventh House
(The Fund-raiser)
You are essentially a loner and don’t adapt easily to performing as part of a unit unless you are in the driver’s seat. You are likely to hold a responsible office in any group you join and will perform your duties flawlessly, particularly those of treasurer or of handling details to boost organizational funds. Once your peers are convinced of your merits, you should have no trouble taking your place as a valued member of any society.
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.
Uranus in the Fifth House
(The Child)
You are always in search of amusement of a “different” kind, and may originate innovative games. No matter your age, children find you fascinating and accept you readily. Your own children may be as full of surprises as you, yourself. Because of your many facets, you project whatever image you desire, with the skill of an actor. You may fall in and out of love easily because of your lack of commitment. A desire for too much freedom can result in a lonely future.
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.
Neptune in the Sixth House
(The Sensitive)
You may suffer allergies or dietary problems that are difficult to diagnose from early childhood. You must be careful about ingesting drugs, even if they are prescribed by a physician. A tender heart may lead you to work for those less fortunate than yourself, either as a career, or an act of charity. Those who oppose you as “too good to be true” are envious of the satisfaction derived from your unselfish service. Ignore them and enjoy your good works.
Pluto in 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.
Pluto in the Fifth House
(The Extremist)
You season your life with a heavy hand and tend to exaggerate conditions. In your many love affairs, you will feel that each is “the one” and may cling to an ideal past the time when reality should govern your actions. You may also invite power struggles by insisting that your way is the only way and your truth the only truth. But, one thing must be said: Your enthusiasm for living is unquestioned and you get the most out of every emotion-charged moment.
Aquarius Midheaven
You will flourish best in a career that takes advantage of your inventiveness and originality. You have a need to be unconventional and different. You see your career field from a refreshingly independent perspective and make original contributions. You don’t like working in a highly structured environment, so you often work as an independent free-lancer. Driven to follow your inner light, others can consider your interests eccentric; you may treat them rudely. But at your healthiest, you are also a humanitarian who contributes to civic causes and whose many career contacts make you an effective networker.
Your career can be based on ideas or on service to society. To achieve your greatest success, you must dare to be your true, unique self. More than others, you understand Joseph Campbell’s advice, “follow your bliss.” Working out your ideas on your own, you can produce results that will benefit humanity. Pitfalls to be overcome include selfishness, pride, and the desire for power. You may originate numerous ideas, but forget them soon after conception. Scientific objectivity carried to the extreme could make you cold, impersonal, or arrogant. Do not allow yourself to become isolated, but stay in touch with those on whose behalf you are laboring.
Occupations consistent with your unusual, independent style of work include entertainer, literary personality, athlete, educator, inventor, occultist, astrologer, social worker, social scientist, vocational counselor, personnel specialist, benevolent or fraternal society administrator, conference organizer, or strategist. 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 Uranus, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.
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.
North Node in the First House
(The Individual)
You accomplish most when you “do it yourself,” but this does not mean you are capable of miracles. First, you must know who you are and what you want; then how to make your plans work for you. You may be tempted to lean on others, but that will only weaken your ability. Refine your skills and learn to enjoy challenges, because your success-ratio is high.
Planets in Aspect
Sun opposite Mars (Strength: 6.77)
(The Appraiser)
You must not only know who you are and what you want, but should examine the values of others to bring your life into balance. You need support, but seem to attract those with opposite views and will often find challenges to your ego. Seriously consider whether your beliefs are worth fighting for, for you see differences as personal affronts. Defend only what is really important to you. “All roads lead to Rome”, and you may travel more than one to get there.
Sun trine Neptune (Strength: 5.94)
(The Harmonious)
Your innate idealism is spiritually inspired. You believe in the “good, the true and the beautiful.” Your relationships symbolize a wish for accord with all humanity. Do not waste your gift of a lively imagination in idle daydreams. Coupled with an acute business acumen, it may take you far in the material world. But, at some time you will discover a need for metaphysical growth and find a channel for expression that may be unusual but of benefit to others.
Jupiter opposite Neptune (Strength: 4.69)
(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.
Venus conjunct Saturn (Strength: 4.56)
(The Devoted)
Others may not understand your serious views, but your reserved attitude indicates a desire for a loyalty as unflagging as your own. You will be careful about declaring your feelings until you are reasonably sure of your ground and are satisfied that you can justify or cement differences between you. If you decide that a relationship will not survive the test of time, you will opt to dissolve it without regret, feeling there is nothing substantial to pursue.
Venus opposite Uranus (Strength: 3.86)
(The Disparate)
You must beware of “get rich quick” schemes and cautious in your selection of partners. Only time will distinguish between a harmonious relationship and a passing fancy. Curb your impulsiveness if you are attracted to those too different in background and values. Question whether you can adjust to inherent challenges. If you cannot settle for a conventional union, you may avoid commitment by indulging in improper mergers or with those unavailable as permanent companions.
Uranus conjunct Pluto (Strength: 3.59)
(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.
Mars trine Jupiter (Strength: 3.36)
(The Positive)
You have a nearly-perfect balance between timing and action, which means that you see very clearly what must be done and do it! Because of your optimism, you easily gain the confidence of others. You are ambitious within reason and self-sufficient enough to take responsibility. In disputes, you often look at the larger picture, convince others of your good intentions and regardless of results, enhance your image of good sportsmanship, which earns you additional respect.
Sun opposite Pluto (Strength: 3.07)
(The Tempter)
You are almost certain to attract power struggles with others and determined to have your own way, “no matter what,” sometimes by devious means. You are dealing with blind ambition, which does not allow you to see that you may be in the wrong, but refuse to give up or modify your personal desires. Examine your motives; then ask yourself if there are more reasonable alternatives to your predicaments. Without some adjustment, you can do yourself irreparable harm.
Moon square Saturn (Strength: 2.93)
(The Lonely)
You may be depressed because you feel isolated and take the blame for your plight, but not know how to solve the problem. “Burying” yourself in work or other distractions is not going to satisfy you. Relationships often mean chancing rejection, but if you hesitate to brave a possible loss of pride, you will also deny an opportunity for fulfillment. By repressing feelings, you may find that you are denying expressions which can then emerge in a destructive way.
Mars sextile Neptune (Strength: 2.71)
(The Redeemer)
You feel destined to accomplish a spiritual mission, but may resist necessary self-sacrifice to achieve your aims. It is through service to others that you will change your own course and expand your views. You can be confused by those who misconstrue your intentions, or if they feel threatened, can work against you in an underhanded way. Salvation has a price. By adhering to your principles, you may attain your purpose and elevate others to your significant state of being.
Sun sextile Jupiter (Strength: 2.59)
(The Fortunate)
You will find and associate with those with whom you can combine your ideas and efforts to everyone’s advantage. You often attract those in authority who can further your efforts. Because your plans are well formed, they usually bear fruit, giving you a reputation of being successful in whatever you tackle. You learn and grow from your affiliations, and often conquer those who oppose you by inviting them to join in your joyous pursuit of the “good life!”
Saturn opposite Uranus (Strength: 2.42)
(The Self-reliant)
You have the ability to do a good job of balancing innovation with practicality on your own. But, you need as much structure as room to grow and must depend on others to provide sturdy foundations. Feelings of restriction, resentment and restlessness can emerge as you begin to expand. Realize that you have time to earn your freedom. Redefine and improve rather than destroy valuable experiences which can prepare you for the independence you crave.
Mars conjunct Pluto (Strength: 2.31)
(The Adamant)
You are convinced that doing things “your way” is the best, if not the only way and will try to impress upon others that their opinions are worth little. You may feel strongly that you can literally transform those who choose to follow your lead for the better and will work unceasingly in their behalf. In reality, you may be reinforcing ego energies which need evaluation. Perhaps you must adjust more realistically to circumstances before you can comply with your ego demands.
Moon square Venus (Strength: 1.49)
(The Impassioned)
You are intent on romance, but may be too fervent to realize you are over-protective or possessive of your loved-one. If you do not have a relationship, you will feel out of balance until you attract a partner, and will make every effort to do so. Your feelings may stem from a parent-child affinity if you are sentimental about the marriage of your parents. Be sure you are acting from real love more than sentiment or need if you consider entering a commitment.
Venus opposite Pluto (Strength: 1.45)
(The Tempestuous)
Your passionate energies need evaluation. Learn to measure yourself and your standards honestly. Hidden conflicts may be hard to pinpoint because they are an inherent part of you. Intense jealousy can motivate violent tantrums or actions that must be dealt with in a logical manner as forces within you that need release. Learn early to take responsibility for your own emotions. Desirable unions can end tragically if you resist self-control.
Moon sextile Mercury (Strength: 1.20)
(The Chatterbox)
You fill your active life with people, are seldom at a loss for words, and are expert at making “small talk.” You enjoy writing letters to your friends filled with amusing trivia and are intuitive about those at a distance as well as acquaintances in your immediate vicinity. Your easy rapport with others encourages exchanging confidences and feelings and you are comfortable offering and receiving advice. You consider “everyone” a friend and in turn are a friend to all.
Sun opposite Uranus (Strength: 0.67)
(The Destroyer)
Outside influences may lead you to believe that upsets are inevitable. In reality, unexpressed feelings result in tensions you find it difficult to acknowledge. You may not recognize any pace but “fast-forward,” and ignore a need to “relax and enjoy.” Running away is not an answer to problems. Interactions with partners can indicate how you relate to the universe. You are a unique individual who can invent the ways and means necessary to align yourself with the cosmos.
Jupiter conjunct Ascendant (Strength: 0.39)
(The Expansive)
You desire the best of all-possible worlds and can’t settle for less. You may depend on others to provide your needs rather than to put your own energy into your projects. You are surprised if they balk or object, since you reason you would do the same for them under similar circumstances –and you would! You are never satisfied with current achievements and will spend much of your life employing an “extra stretch” to extend your knowledge and share your findings.
Moon conjunct Ascendant (Strength: 0.11)
(The Subterfuge)
You may disguise your emotionally-sensitive nature in the extreme, either as bravado or in a submissive attitude. The truth is that it is difficult for you to let others in on your feelings or talk about your problems with those who might understand. An emphasis on possessions can weaken your intuitive powers or the ethereal nature which makes you mediumistic. By observing the needs of others, you may be able to communicate openly and relieve your burdened spirit.
Saturn opposite Pluto (Strength: 0.02)
(The Diligent)
You will work hard to achieve success, often at the same job for a very long time. You tend to extremes and must be careful that you are not a workaholic with health problems resulting from exhaustion. Later, you will be tested on achievements which may or may not grant you the rewards you have earned. Discard blinders which narrow your perspective with few options open. A “one-trick pony” has little appeal after he performs to his best, but limited ability.
Balance of Elements and Modalities
Abundant Water
In your case, the heart rules the head. Your emotional drives are strong and you act primarily on the basis of your feelings. Whether your feelings are purely personal, interpersonal, or transpersonal is up to you, but generally you are a life-oriented person who feels keenly and who acts to support your family, friends, and community. You are happiest when you are in a caring relationship with a significant other. That person should be comfortable with the emotional closeness that you bring to relationships, while providing the structure or inspiration that you need. Some of your friends will not be as comfortable with emotional closeness as you are, and you will have to respect their boundaries. You have probably learned over the years how to keep your sensitive nature from being hurt. Don’t permanently withdraw, but find the people with whom and the environment in which you can be yourself.
Because of your sensitivity, you easily pick up others’ thoughts and feelings. You can anticipate others’ needs before they have expressed them. You can usually rely on your intuition when it comes to forecasting the outcome of personal and career decisions. If you decide to use your psychic abilities for healing, learn to let go of the negative feelings that you process from others. Since you are so sensitive, find quiet moments for private introspection in which you can reconnect with what you feel instead of what others feel. You also find it revitalizing to be around large bodies of water.
You do have a need to stop and think things through before acting. Make the effort to communicate with others who may have a more objective viewpoint or who could see solutions that elude you. You can sometimes be criticized for acting from a purely personal perspective, which you could avoid by learning and respecting society’s larger viewpoint. You can be very creative in finding paths to your personal goals. Keep the larger viewpoint in mind and later you will not have to try to rationalize to others why you chose those paths.
Abundant 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.
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 Air
Expressing yourself does not come easily to you. You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers. It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking. If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked. Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational. With the mind’s normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience. Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.
Try to see life less personally, in a more objective way. Take classes and never stop educating yourself.
A lack of planets in Air signs can be offset by an Air sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Relationships.
Abundant Relationships
With abundant planets in these houses, relationships and communications with others are likely to be central to your life. You can help others by exchanging ideas and making connections between people. You will probably maintain active contact with a wide circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances. You keep abreast of new information via various media and your friends.
Abundant Life
Abundant planets in the houses of life gives you both the energy and the urge to create the future. By your activities, you make the world a better place. You may be somewhat self-centered, but with your crusading spirit you move the world towards the ideals that you envision.
Lack of Substance
You are not the most grounded or practical person. The rules of this material world are not well known to you. Others may admire your dreams, but they could be impossible dreams. You may find it difficult to choose, plan, and work towards a career or vocation.
A lack of planets in the houses of Substance can be offset by abundant planets in Earth signs.
Lack of Endings
You live on the surface of things, afraid to look within at what you really feel and want. Perhaps your position is too precarious or the obligations too great to allow yourself this luxury. You feel forced to maintain your personal status quo. You come across to others as unfeeling. Because personal feelings do not distract you, you might make a good scientist, though be aware that the greatest scientists let intuitive feelings be their guide.
A lack of planets in the houses of Endings can be offset by abundant planets in Water signs.
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.
Abundant Succedent
An abundance of planets in the succedent houses increases your ability to enjoy life. In turn, you can give others pleasure. You are a basically stable person with strong values, feelings, and attachments. You enoy working to build the structure of your life. As you gain confidence in your self, you bind others to you with love. You have a strong physical presence.
Lack of Cadent
A lack of planets in the cadent houses tends to reduce the time that you have to yourself. You may feel that you are always in the limelight or somehow involved with others. This leaves you little time for solitary reflection. The life of a spiritual recluse is not for you. You don’t change quickly, but must gradually grow into changes.
A lack of planets in the Cadent houses can be offset by abundant planets in the Mutable signs.
Lack of Angular
A lack of planets in the angular houses indicates little desire or drive for recognition. You adapt to the world instead of trying to change it or make your mark upon it. You concentrate on enjoying life and find ways to help others that do not call attention to yourself.
A lack of planets in the Angular houses can be offset by abundant planets in the Cardinal signs.
