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

 

 

Virgo Ascendant

 

(The Meticulous)

 

One might think your eyes are your outstanding feature, since they reflect a twinkle that belies your careful nature.  But, you set your mouth in a straight line, when controlling your words, which is a dead giveaway.  Your flair for numbers helps you win at games that require more skill than luck.  Your dry sense of humor is an unexpected delight.  If only you could let down your reserve so that others could know you, you’d soon have more friends than an Aquarian!

 

 

 

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 Seventh House

 

(The Partner)

 

Partnerships will always take precedence in your life because of the power you give them.  You feel the need of another person to keep you in balance.  It is vital that you learn how to compromise your views to agree with those of other people.  Though you may be the primary agent in a relationship, at some time you may have to take a subordinate position.  If you are not prepared to do this, your pairing will suffer and may turn into an open conflict.  Partnership requires team effort.  Do your best to find solutions to problems that will benefit you both.

 

 

 

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 Ninth House

 

(The Wanderer)

 

You are old beyond your years, so may find school a bore.  When you exercise a talent for writing about foreign lands or ancient history, it is almost as if you had lived there in another time.  Your dreams seem more mind-recall than fantasy.  You may travel the globe in search of higher learning, but an inherent restlessness makes it difficult for you to stay very long in one place because you are forever eager to get on with your own evolvement.

 

 

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 Eighth House

 

(The Mentalist)

 

You will discover early-on that (in your case) “mind over matter” is more than a saying.  You have great influence over others, and will find that you, in turn, are greatly impressed by the variety of people who will cross your path.  Your interests, provoked by a desire for self-discovery, may range from the occult to psychiatry.  Use what you find to improve yourself as a useful human being, willing to share your store of knowledge with your fellow man.

 

 

Venus in Taurus

 

(The Voluptuary)

 

You love comfort, luxury and things that appeal to your senses.  You are a party-giver, with a liking for rich foods, and a particular fondness for chocolate.  Music is a major part of your life and strongly affects your moods.  Dissonance produces nervousness and harmony soothes and quiets you.  You are a traditionalist who enjoys the security of the tried-and-true and are not given to accepting the unconventional without a thorough understanding of a need for change.

 

 

Venus in the Ninth House

 

(The Idealist)

 

Your love of learning and sharing knowledge is almost certain to draw you to foreign lands.  You may even choose a career as a diplomat and live abroad.  Every man is your brother.  Every life you touch stimulates your desire to reach a higher level of spiritual being.  You benefit mankind by using your experience to educate the masses.  You are not a REVOLUTIONIST, but an EVOLUTIONIST, gathering means to feed a starving universe with fruits of your knowledge.

 

 

Mars in Taurus

 

(The Juggernaut)

 

You may disregard your instincts for harmony, patience and even the practicality for which you are known and stubbornly “bull” your way towards your ambitions.  You will work to capacity and, one way or another, gain all-important financial rewards; then find someone to share your affections as well as your success.  You are a “powerhouse” who can manifest what you dream, enjoy what you earn, and discover the symmetry necessary to maintain the stability you require.

 

 

Mars in the Ninth House

 

(The Evangelist)

 

There is never a doubt as to where you stand or a reluctance to share your opinions with others.  You will champion any cause in which you believe.  Highly intelligent and a compelling speaker, you get your point across in the most efficient manner.  Add tolerance, charity and a pinch of humility to your list of assets and you will, without doubt, influence others to follow guidelines you are confident will better the world in which we live.

 

 

Jupiter in Capricorn

 

(The Traditionalist)

 

You may need to relax your conventionally-narrow views, to gamble now and then on human nature to prevail in the face of overwhelming obstacles.  Once you have decided to reveal yourself as the fine, understanding person you are, you should have no trouble taking your place successfully in public office, where you can lead the masses to enlightenment.

 

 

Jupiter in the Fourth House

 

(The Realtor)

 

You may become a successful broker because your own love of home and family represents the peace and security you crave.  Your home is your castle and reflects your passion for luxury.  You may treasure sentimental objects from childhood which represent familiar surroundings you have come to cherish.  Like Scarlett O’Hara, your strength is in the land.

 

 

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 Ninth House

 

(The Thinker)

 

You probably have the self-confidence usually born of long experience, no matter your age.  Your powers of concentration enable you to absorb the essentials of life in great chunks.  A career in law may satisfy your sense of justice.  However, inherent knowledge may preclude the experience to utilize it.  If your viewpoint seems narrow, look for ways to augment it.  Like the Bluebird, you may find them waiting in your own back yard.

 

 

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 Second House

 

(The Opportunist)

 

You are quick to react to sudden windfalls or calamities.  Challenges cause you to re-examine your priorities.   You are aware that “destiny” plays a hand in your affairs as the result of the course you have set, and that personal evolvement demands change.  You are not afraid to adopt an unconventional means of self-discovery or explore the unknown. You may choose a career in science or investigate astrology as a hobby–then make it your profession!

 

 

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 Third House

 

(The Story-teller)

 

Your talents do not end with being a superb raconteur.  You can embellish the simplest thought with fascinating details worthy of publication.  You may also have a gift of E.S.P.  Your aptitude with electrical devices fits you for a successful career in communication, but you cannot depend on potential, alone, to accomplish your goals.  You must first define them specifically; then build a firm foundation on which to base the application of your skills.

 

 

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 First House

 

(The Powerful)

 

You are a force to be reckoned with, and are determined to make your mark on the world.  You seem invincible because you strengthen your resolves in the face of adversity. Understanding yourself is essential to your success, or you cannot understand the needs of others.  You may limit your talents by serving yourself, alone.  As with most people given power, you must tithe your strength to pay your debt to the universe, or it may be turned against you.

 

 

Gemini Midheaven

 

You need to pursue intellectual interests and express a variety of abilities in your career.  Working on more than one project at a time expresses your need to be in constant motion, as far as your career is concerned.  This placement usually occurs together with Virgo rising, which lends personal stability, so that most of your traveling will be done from your armchair.  An ideal occupation would combine physical stability with intellectual activity.

 

With your desire for constant stimulation in your career,  you like interacting with others both one-on-one and in large groups.  A sense of humor will win you friends and help you to get your new ideas across to them.  Seek the advice of your friends when you face career difficulties, because when under stress you can hatch some pretty scatterbrained schemes or want to pull off a disappearing act.  When you get in over your head it is usually because of your versatile curiosity, but remember how much you and others can learn from the problems that you are often the first to face.

 

Occupations consistent with your mental style of work include writer, speaker, media personality, entertainer, dancer, musician, composer, advertiser, publisher, programmer, experimenter, investigator, inventor, traveler, counselor, pilot, politician, lawyer, psychologist, scientist, or teacher.  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 Mercury, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Aquarius

 

(The Arrogant)

 

You demand center stage, but are disappointed if there is little applause for your flamboyant performance.  As a member of the audience, you must cheer others for their efforts. With a dual perspective, you may realize that you are part of a larger design, devoid of ego or self-aggrandizement. Release your humanitarian instincts to enjoy the Big Show.

 

 

North Node in the Fifth House

 

(The Princess)

 

Like the lady in the tower, awaiting rescue, all you need do is open your eyes to see a staircase.  You prefer fantasies to the workaday world.  Learn what is real and of lasting value.  Acquire self-discipline to become a “doer.”   You have the power to make your dreams come true, but cannot expect them to manifest before taking your first steps into reality.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon conjunct Saturn  (Strength:  8.54)

 

(The Responsible)

 

You may have had to take on “too much too soon,” but find ways to lighten your load.  Taking duty seriously does not mean jeopardizing your health or even your sense of humor. You tend to be hard on yourself, over-critical and frustrated because you feel out of synch with others, but you will develop excellent discipline and become self-reliant and trustworthy.  You recognize your mortality, but take as your creed: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going!”

 

 

Moon trine Pluto  (Strength:  6.93)

 

(The Evolvement)

 

You are not only willing, but anxious to grow and mature. You need to know “why” you have certain feelings and will search for ways to explore them.  You may pursue psychology, philosophy or elevate your spirit through intimate encounters with conscious-raising techniques which you can adopt as your own.  Once you find your niche, an obsessive nature can limit your development, or you may turn your discoveries to professional skills to share with others.

 

 

Saturn trine Pluto  (Strength:  5.79)

 

(The Conqueror)

 

You are a formidable force in the universe because of your intense desire to succeed, if it takes you forever to do so.  You are well-structured and informed.  You know where you are going and precisely how to get there, without cutting corners but with little wasted motion.  Others note your efficiency and appreciate your efforts with resultant rewards.  You are self-aware and are always willing to do whatever it takes for understanding and overall improvement.

 

 

Sun opposite Pluto  (Strength:  5.70)

 

(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 opposite Neptune  (Strength:  4.88)

 

(The Oblivious)

 

You may be so preoccupied with your thoughts that you allow life to pass you by.  If plans don’t materialize as you wish, you may devise a solution or an “escape” that has nothing to do with your problems.  You may attract those who take advantage, or may practice deceits yourself, so that others cannot trust you.  Try for counseling to establish basic values that are practical.  You can employ your agile mind in a beneficial manner with the proper guidance.

 

 

Mercury opposite Uranus  (Strength:  4.61)

 

(The Undisciplined)

 

You are apt to be restless and easily bored unless you have somewhere to go or something to do that is “different” every waking moment.  You look for new experiences or people with whom you can exchange original ideas.  You are too impatient for conventional studies, but may become intrigued by the challenge of mathematics, astrology or mysteries that command your attention and will inspire you to use the control you need to carve a niche in a structured world.

 

 

Saturn opposite Neptune  (Strength:  3.87)

 

(The Conflict)

 

You may be deprived of a firm foundation early, which encourages inner doubts and insecurities as you mature.  Avoid unnecessary self-blame, but assume responsibility for your thoughts and actions.  You are not being “picked on,” — only trying to discover who you are and how you fit into the scheme of things.  Eventually, you may find that  “street-smarts” can be more practical than “book-learning.”  Try to blend the best of both to gain self-confidence and assure success.

 

 

Sun sextile Moon  (Strength:  3.37)

 

(The Serene)

 

You are easy-going and easy to get along with.  You don’t look for trouble, so don’t usually find it.  You dislike “taking sides” with friends because it disrupts the harmony you enjoy.  If there are difficulties, you will try to resolve them in the simplest way.  You confront your own problems without emotional turbulence and make short work of any negative attitudes that crop up as self-deprecation or depressions that might destroy your pleasant outlook.

 

 

Sun sextile Saturn  (Strength:  3.22)

 

(The Laborer)

 

Once others learn of your dependability, you will be in demand as a serious worker.  It may take you longer to gather the knowledge you need or to complete a job, but you seldom make mistakes and are meticulous in completing your tasks, no matter how tedious the assignment.  The same is true of your personal development, but narrowness is a flaw in your otherwise commendable qualities.  Develop tolerance for those who may not have your patience to persevere.

 

 

Moon conjunct Midheaven  (Strength:  2.19)

 

(The Impressionable)

 

You are highly receptive to the moods of others.  Learn to tune in to your own feelings or you may become the victim of another’s depressions or problems.  Your mother may be influential in shaping your career, as you are responsive to women.  When you feel overwhelmed emotionally, delay making decisions or trying to get your point across to others. Periods of quiet meditation and occasional seclusion restore your psyche and are essential to your well-being.

 

 

Sun trine Neptune  (Strength:  1.64)

 

(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.

 

 

Saturn conjunct Midheaven  (Strength:  1.28)

 

(The Award)

 

It may take you some time to get where you’re going, but your hard work and perseverance will pay off.  Lay your plans carefully.  Achievement of your goals has nothing to do with “luck.”  Do not alienate yourself from those who care for you and are willing to follow your lead.  You need their support. You tend to be inflexible, but be prepared to restructure your thinking.  As a realist, you should allow enough margin for error to absorb the revisions that assure your success.

 

Sun sextile Mars  (Strength:  0.83)

 

(The Expeditor)

 

Use your energies to accomplish your tasks in the most judicious manner.  You are not likely to go unnoticed.  Your object will be the successful completion of anything you undertake rather than satisfaction of your ego, so you work well with others and make use of their input.  Your self-confidence inspires respect of your judgment.  Should you find resistance, you will overcome it with logic and prudence rather than aggressiveness and domination.

 

Moon conjunct Mars  (Strength:  0.81)

 

(The Tempest)

 

You may hold angry feelings beyond the time you should and suddenly explode with the force of a hurricane.  Those closest to you will receive the brunt of your fury, since the cause of your displeasure is usually very personal and you will not display it in public.  Inner disquiet may be exchanged for productive energy in physical work.  If controlled, real strength may evolve from the same ego energy you tend to exhibit in a subjectively-negative manner.

 

Mars trine Pluto  (Strength:  0.53)

 

(The Renewer)

 

As an instrument in the progress of mankind, you may taste fame, and even fortune, depending on where and how you direct your powerful energies.  If you know yourself well, you can identify with the needs of others and use your formidable drive to benefit society as a leader.  If motivated by selfishness, you may receive some satisfaction from personal gain but will sacrifice the true distinction of contributing to the universe on the altar of prideful self-esteem.

 

Jupiter square Pluto  (Strength:  0.38)

 

(The Despot)

 

You are almost certain to evoke the criticism of others and run into power plays because they feel threatened by your obsession with success.  If you are sure of your ground, you will defend your principles and convictions with all your might, but must first discern if you are right and can prove yourself and your ideals to all parties.  If you wish to lead others and gain their respect, you must examine yourself thoroughly to determine if you are above reproach.

 

Venus inconjunct Uranus  (Strength:  0.23)

 

(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 square Jupiter  (Strength:  0.08)

 

(The Pompous)

 

Your eye is very much on the “donut” and not on the “hole.”  You are a citizen of the world and an eager learner, so benefit by extensive travel.  Others are excited by your dynamic presence and what you have to say, unless you spoil your image by exaggerating reality or monopolize center stage to hear your own voice.  Then, those great gulps of life you devour can distend your ego as well as your waistline and result i

n chronic social indigestion.

 

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 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 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
