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 Leo

 

(Keynote: I WILL)

 

You are passionate, sincere, generous, courageous and loyal.  You may also be demanding, possessive, jealous and intolerant.  You are a champion of causes and defender of the helpless in time of need — the stuff of which heroes are made.  You resist accepting second-best of anything.  You are at your best when given dramatic license to take center-stage, with all eyes upon you.  Your word is your bond, but you can be unreasonable if things don’t go your way.  Try not to confuse the courage of your convictions with inordinate stubbornness, which is usually the source of your downfall.

 

 

 

Moon in Sagittarius

 

(The Prophet)

 

You have a gift of farsightedness, which lets you see an entire picture instead of fragments available to others.  You amaze yourself at what your mind can conceive and often achieve with little effort, as though you were born to succeed.  You are open and frank, and for the most part, kind, but your thoughtless remarks can leave a wrong impression or create enemies.  A need for physical activity should not be ignored.  Otherwise, you can suffer “burn out” from too many mental gyrations, which will throw your balance and make you less efficient in your rush to attain your ambitions.

 

 

Mercury in Leo

 

(The Dramatist)

 

You are highly emotional and speak forcefully; your words may not always be tactful, but they do have an impact.  You’re generous with advice, which is usually good and well-taken. Your gift of creativity may be shared and enjoyed by others who appreciate you.  No party is complete without you, but your famous negative qualities of conceit and arrogance may make you an unwelcome guest.  Listen to your keen intuition, which will tell you when it’s time to go home.

 

 

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!”

 

 

Mars in Leo

 

(The Grandee)

 

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

 

 

Jupiter in 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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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 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.

 

 


 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Jupiter square Pluto  (Strength:  5.71)

 

(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.

 

 

Sun trine Neptune  (Strength:  5.10)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon square Pluto  (Strength:  5.03)

 

(The Durable)

 

Constant challenges for change control your deepest feelings because your emotional turbulence can be destructive. Power struggles with others indicate power struggles within yourself which must be brought to light for resolution. Sometimes you will be attracted to that which is absolutely wrong for you but will pursue it anyway to your detriment. Recognize your difficulties as opportunities for evolvement.  You have more than adequate fortitude to survive and benefit.

 

 

Moon conjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  4.74)

 

(The Equipollent)

 

You have a strong conviction that what you put into something will be returned in equal measure.  In most cases you are right, and since you project confidence, enthusiasm, nurturing and good will, that is what you attract.  However, you must avoid temptations to acquire “too much of a good thing.”  You are, by nature, given to excesses.  Don’t allow your optimism to lure you with empty hopes and promises into depths beyond your reach and over your head.

 

 

Saturn trine Uranus  (Strength:  4.22)

 

(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 sextile Pluto  (Strength:  4.11)

 

(The Booster)

 

You have a great deal of creative energy which you may use to advance your ambitions or to promote improvements through others for a common good.  You can impress authority figures with your individuality, or may head an organization where you can exercise your abilities to increase potentials beyond established limits.  Yours is a life of never-ending expansion and elevated aims that are the result of your willingness to accept changes for the better.

 

 

Mercury sextile Venus  (Strength:  3.47)

 

(The Cartoonist)

 

Relaxation is important to you and you learn early to pace yourself to allow time for pleasure.  You tend to take things at face value, are easy-going and amusing to have around.  You appreciate art forms, but if you draw, are more likely to “doodle” or present the lighter side of mankind in caricature, which expresses your tongue-in-cheek attitude. You are a winsome companion, if lacking the solemnity to provide variable shadows on your sunny side of the street!

 

 

Sun inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  3.40)

 

(The Unaware)

 

Your enthusiastic plans may be thwarted because of a lack of preparation or experience.  You may overextend yourself in your hurry to expand your horizons.  Self-indulgence can bring an end to your dreams.  Over-compensation for disappointments, in the form of excesses, can result in problems with weight or addictions which require more than willpower to overcome.  Try to invite projects that demand your best in constructive action for the lasting rewards you seek.

 

 

Mars sextile Saturn  (Strength:  3.30)

 

(The Informed)

 

You realize your capabilities and are willing to work carefully for lasting results.  You do not take work loads as burdens, but as opportunities to improve your worth.  Your perseverance commands the respect, and sometimes attracts the dismay of others who lack your willingness to satisfy demands. You may be considered a “bookworm” or put your energies into serious tasks that others disdain, but are sure to have the last laugh when rewards are passed out.

 

 

Mars sextile Uranus  (Strength:  2.92)

 

(The Uncommon)

 

The songs “MY WAY” and “I GOTTA BE ME” exemplify your lifestyle.  You must be your “own” person and claim individual credit for your efforts.  You react strongly to subconscious suggestions and should realize that “unexpected” events are “set ups” originating within you.  Your unique abilities must be encouraged and guided.  You can become expert at whatever you choose to explore, but develop self-doubt if held from the unusual methods you use to achieve results.

 

 

Moon trine Mercury  (Strength:  1.40)

 

(The Synchronizer)

 

You are in touch with yourself and your needs which affords you a state of balance.   Because you are at peace, you are able to accomplish tasks with a minimum of bother, and express clearly and concisely so that others accept your ideas and grant your requests.  You may travel or communicate with people impulsively, because “something tells you” to do so. Flashes of this same intuition are useful in divining the needs of others and fulfilling them before you are asked.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.21)

 

(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.”

 

Sun inconjunct Moon  (Strength:  1.14)

 

(The Reflection)

 

Your determination to succeed may cause you to trip over your ego.  Joint resources may fall victim to your personal ambitions or shortage of willpower when push comes to shove. Don’t blame your lack of vitality on health problems, rather than take a rest when your body indicates the need.  You will find a likeness of what you project in others.  No amount of “cover-ups” or excuses will bring you stability.  Use this as a guide to establish your equilibrium early-on.

 

Moon opposite Venus  (Strength:  0.88)

 

(The Mirage)

 

You believe in pleasures of the moment, but must be careful that you can pay your debts “tomorrow.”  You feel that you can have your own way just by being “you,” not from conceit, but that in some way you have a special birthright and the world owes you a living.  Much of what you fantasize may come about because of your positive attitude of expectation, but be prepared for those times when only the sweat of your brow will produce the results you desire.

 

Venus conjunct Saturn  (Strength:  0.68)

 

(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.

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Fire

 

You are an active, future-oriented person who is not weighed down by past commitments.  You take advantage of new opportunities better than most.  Life for you can be a vibrant affair in which you passionately pursue causes, lovers, and experiences.  You have the self-confidence to be a leader.  Competitive and flamboyant, you have little patience for slow people or unexciting work.  When an activity interests you, you can be very generous with your time, energy, and money.  Find outlets for your gifts of creativity and intuition.

 

Watch out for a tendency to exaggerate or to be insensitive to others’ feelings.  More cautious types may envy and resent your free spirit and competitive nature.  You get bored easily and may depend on others to finish the projects that you start.  When your warmth is guided by love, wisdom, and positive goals you have the ability to heal and inspire others, but when you focus on your self or lack direction, your short-lived passions can affect others in destructive ways.

 

 

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 Earth

 

You may be so focused on the “bigger picture” that you have difficulty managing the many details of life.  Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities.  Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them.  Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit.  If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it.  Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone.  You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it.  If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.

 


A lack of planets in Earth signs can be offset by an Earth sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Substance.

 

 

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.
