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 Sagittarius

 

(Keynote: I ASPIRE)

 

You are self-reliant, ambitious, optimistic and friendly.  You may also be sarcastic, self-indulgent, impatient and tactless.   Others may see you as irresponsible, and a capricious flirt.  The truth is you are acutely aware of human values and enjoy improving potential.  You relate well to children, animals and the environment, and find them all fascinating.  You avoid commitment, which you feel restricts your freedom to expand.  Your bluntness often disguises a compassionate heart, deserving of rewards for your generous contributions to our planet.

 

 

 

Moon in Capricorn

 

(The Notorious)

 

You are usually cautious and realistically-discerning, but your ambition could place you in an unfavorable light if you are not entirely above-board in your dealings.  The same self-assurance and executive ability that can bring you the prominence you desire can also attract the envy of others who would destroy your chances of fame.  You appear to be austere, emotionless and calculating, and should develop lighter moods that allow your priceless sense of humor to emerge and make you seem more in sync with your peers.  To be a leader of people, you must first let them see that you are one of them.

 

 

Mercury in Capricorn

 

(The Logician)

 

You are a strategist who employs systematic methods and are seldom upset, unless your plans are disturbed.  You communicate with others by getting right to the point with a minimum of wasted effort.  Others may consider you sober, self-righteous and too rigid to enjoy life, but what they think of as “rigid”, you believe to be structured, “sober” as merely serious, and “self-righteousness” is your pride in accomplishments that you have earned the hard way.

 

 

Venus in Capricorn

 

(The Austere)

 

You are extremely aware of social status and chances to improve your position.  Your determination and ambition are admired by your business associates.  You may marry the “boss’s daughter/son”.  Once committed, you are unswervingly faithful and loyal, but your marriage can be “an arrangement” rather than a love-match.  You will make your family proud, but may deprive your spouse or others of affection, due to your emotional nature, which is often severe and unyielding.

 

 

Mars in Capricorn

 

(The Enduring)

 

Your life is geared for success.  Even your close relationships can be exploited to advantage.  You are selective in your goals and methods to achieve them.  Your intuition and ambition work together to overcome obstacles that would defeat one with less fortitude.  You often burden yourself with the problems of others, viewing each as a learning experience.  You may receive your rewards late in life, but are sure to be honored for your hard work.

 

 

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

 

Mars trine Uranus  (Strength:  5.86)

 

(The Expressive)

 

You will find positive ways to release your tremendous store of energy, and may direct it into a career or some “life work” of an unusual nature.  You will never go unnoticed because you express as a “different” kind of individual.  Your unique imprint is on whatever you touch, whether constructive or destructive.  Each success builds your confidence to move onward and upward.  You are adventurous and are liable to “climb a mountain just because it’s there.”

 

 

Mars square Jupiter  (Strength:  5.65)

 

(The Aggressive)

 

Your self-confidence and desire for expansion can tempt you to over-extend yourself or appear too assertive.  If you push instead of using persuasive powers or seem threatening to others, you may defeat your purpose.  Good generals employ well thought-out strategy with force and link diplomacy with surrender.  It is not in your nature to accept “second best.” You should carefully consider the feelings and acceptance of others when presenting your strategic campaigns.

 

 

Moon conjunct Venus  (Strength:  5.12)

 

(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.

 

 

Mercury trine Pluto  (Strength:  3.89)

 

(The Novice)

 

You view yourself as a perpetual student of life, an apprentice who has much to learn, so will attract those who can increase your knowledge. Your interest may include studies of self-enlightenment, such as psychology, psychotherapy or metaphysical sciences.  You will concentrate on that to which you feel drawn or “called,” and at which you prove most adept.  Eventually, you may share your knowledge, but only when you feel worthy of the universal degree of “Master.”

 

 

Saturn square Neptune  (Strength:  3.65)

 

(The Troubled)

 

You take yourself seriously and often compound your problems by assuming sole blame.  You may be pessimistically blind in your outlook and cry “Why me?” instead of opening your eyes to practical and available answers.  Learn to appreciate what you have, beginning with yourself.  Try to use selflessness in helping others, or counsel with someone to raise your self-esteem to the place where you are not easily overwhelmed, and count your blessings on a day-to-day basis.

 

 

Mercury sextile Neptune  (Strength:  3.53)

 

(The Insightful)

 

Inner perception works to your advantage when negotiating with those who are usually difficult to fathom.  You “feel” more than “comprehend,” so can often satisfy the needs of others that are overlooked by those who deal strictly with reality.  If you successfully balance your understanding of spiritual and material values, you can share your knowledge with others and encourage them to develop their potential on a higher level than many would consider practical.

 

 

Jupiter inconjunct Uranus  (Strength:  2.79)

 

(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.

 

 

Mars trine Pluto  (Strength:  1.97)

 

(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.

 

 

Uranus conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  1.83)

 

(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.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.42)

 

(The Self-aware)

 

It is important that you have the support of your family and friends.  You are extremely sensitive and subject yourself to self-criticism that can be destructive and depressing.  It may be that you need professional help to build your self-esteem.  Later, you may transfer your intense feelings into knowledge you share with others.  You may pursue a career in psychiatry or psychology, but will continue to investigate your own psyche for answers as to what “makes you tick.”

 

 

 

 

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).

 

 

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.

 

 

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.
