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

 

 

Gemini Ascendant

 

(The Impulsive)

 

Youthful qualities are yours for life.  Your quick step and darting eyes are unmistakable, and you often have a quizzical look.  Your ability to do more than one thing at a time may seem fragmented, but it gives you “one-upmanship” in arguments or negotiations.  You may shift friendships or change goals on the spur-of-the-moment.  Others forgive your fickleness because your quick wit and charm are hard to resist.  You know how to use your talents to advantage.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Sun in the Third House

 

(The Neighbor)

 

You are constantly on-the-go and may talk “off the top of your head” — but you WILL talk.  You sometimes enjoy gossiping, because an interaction with people is paramount in your life.  Others may not understand your need for habitual conversation, but since you are clever and bright, you are probably well-liked.  You excel in writing or debating and are always interested in learning something new.  Your suitcase is half-packed and ready for spur-of-the moment travel.  If you develop the persistence to complete half the projects you begin, you can count on success as a result of your efforts.

 

 

 

Moon in Aries

 

(The Enthusiast)

 

You are self-motivated and do not like to be told what to do, which can cause problems with parents and other authority figures.  Unruly when pushed, your temper tantrums are over as quickly as they begin.  Because you are impulsive, you take chances, which surprisingly pay off.  You may be “accident-prone” because of your lack of patience.  You are in a hurry to succeed and ignore warnings of danger.  You can be a “bully,” but are more apt to recruit others to join in your race, since you enjoy competition and leadership is second-nature to you.  It’s simply no fun to “go it alone!”

 

 

Moon in the Eleventh House

 

(The Comrade)

 

Childhood hurts make it important to choose good friends with lasting values, and to make and set your goals early. Since you must overcome your obstacles and are people-oriented, you may wish to share what you have learned and enjoy a career as a group counselor.  Otherwise, you may feel in exchanging favors that “someone owes you” or you “owe them.”   True friendship has no price, and cannot be bought, sold or bartered.  Learn to give and take freely.

 

 

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.

 

 

Mercury in the Third House

 

(The Student)

 

Little escapes your notice.  Your acute awareness, coupled with intuitive flashes, gives you an instant rapport with those you contact.  You have a lively imagination, and an interest in education and love of words fits you for a career in journalism or some type of public communication.  Try not to let restlessness or impatience dilute your ability to present all sides of a picture in honest reporting, which is the stuff from which history is documented.

 

 

Venus in Gemini

 

(The Inconstant)

 

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

 

 

Venus in the First House

 

(The Charmer)

 

You’ll learn early how to utilize your good looks, sunny disposition and outgoing personality to attract friends and have little trouble getting your own way.  Partners will always be important to you, so you should learn to share willingly.  Use as your spiritual guide the lesson of St.  Francis: “…It is by giving that one receives.”  Perfect your gift of beauty on your personal universe.  There is no better way to use it.

 

 

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.

 

 

Mars in the Third House

 

(The Know-It-All)

 

You will have a lot to say on almost any subject, and can be really informative, or merely disruptive.  You may take a difference of opinion as a personal affront because of your strong beliefs, but remember that someone else may have something important to contribute, so is worth listening to.  No one is better than you at presenting your ideas.  As long as you remain confident, rather than “cocky,” you’ll always find an audience to share your store of knowledge.

 

 

Jupiter in Sagittarius

 

(The Philosopher)

 

You are a student of life and gain your highest learning through experience, but can also expand your knowledge in metaphysical studies.  Your optimism and faith in humanity make you responsible for lighting and passing an eternal flame of wisdom to successive generations, where it will multiply a thousand times with every life it touches.

 

 

Jupiter in the Seventh House

 

(The Alliance)

 

Whether your partnership is professional or personal, your mate must allow you room to expand.  Your original intent may be that you can accomplish more as a team than as individuals.  This works best if you agree to share quality, rather than quantity time together.  Otherwise, your need for independence will soon split an otherwise productive pairing.

 

 

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 Twelfth House

 

(The Shadow)

 

You may sense that “something” is following you–that things are left unfinished for you to complete.  It may be that you ARE responsible for some of your problems, but your attitude may account for much of your frustration.  Though you feel like isolating yourself, you are leaving a gap by doing so.  Fill it with a resolve to come out of yourself to view the world around you, as others see it.  It is indeed a beautiful place to live.

 

 

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 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 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 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 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 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 Capricorn

 

(The Infant)

 

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

 

 

North Node in the Eighth House

 

(The Driver)

 

You may try to CONTROL rather than to guide or manage.  You take setbacks as much to heart as triumphs.  Your obsessive passions have another side to them.  Using unselfishness and tolerance instead of jealousy and greed can unravel the tangles of your life so that the yarn is again clean, straight and ready for a new and more delicate weaving.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Saturn conjunct Ascendant  (Strength:  9.72)

 

(The Frugal)

 

You are wise beyond your years and expect to work hard to achieve your ends, which may account for a reluctance to relax and enjoy your gains.  Being narrow in your views or too set in your ways can make you old before your time.  Solemnity and practicality do not have to go hand-in-hand.  Sharing with others will bring you what you most desire — compassion and loving warmth to melt a formidable facade with an invitation to join wholeheartedly in the game of life.

 

 

Mercury conjunct Mars  (Strength:  6.73)

 

(The Argumentative)

 

Early discipline is important.  Otherwise, instead of controlling an explosive temper and disruptive feelings, they are sure to control you.  You are quick to speak your mind or point of view, often without being asked, which can cause resentment and aggravation with others.  You enjoy challenge, particularly if it leads to self-improvement.  If you direct your excess of energy constructively into what is really important to you, you can shorten your road to success.

 

 

Saturn trine Uranus  (Strength:  5.36)

 

(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.

 

 

Jupiter square Pluto  (Strength:  5.34)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon sextile Venus  (Strength:  3.85)

 

(The Nurturer)

 

Love for your fellow man makes it difficult for you to dislike anyone you meet.  You give others the benefit of the doubt and are disappointed only in your lack of judgment if they do not measure up to your expectations.  You may prefer to entertain at home and your friends welcome your invitations to visit.  Self-indulgence can include the satisfaction you derive from caring for others.  But, you must be careful not to resent those who do not return your generosity in kind.

 

 

Venus opposite Jupiter  (Strength:  3.31)

 

(The Indulgent)

 

No one really wants to disturb your “head in the sand” attitude of dealing with reality because you are so likable and easygoing.  Your worst habits of overspending, overeating or imbibing in things that are generally not good for you will eventually take their toll.  That you encourage others to follow suit is inevitable.  Exercise enough self-criticism and discipline to assure that you and they are not self-decimating or found wanting when the rent is due.

 

 

Moon trine Mars  (Strength:  3.31)

 

(The Spearhead)

 

Your high physical energy propels you to the head of the crowd.  Whatever you do will be aggressively active, and sometimes competitive, but not necessarily combative. Relationships with others are intense, as are your feelings.  You have the strength of your convictions at all times, but rather than force them on others, will convince them to see things your way because of your inherent enthusiasm.  You are a lover of life, and life, in turn, loves you back!

 

 

Moon trine Jupiter  (Strength:  3.17)

 

(The Popular)

 

Others may regard you as “lucky,” “optimistic, “cheerful” and “enthusiastic”, all of which accurately describes your sunny disposition and lively attitude.  You are not unrealistic, but believe in yourself and accept whatever challenges or blessings “fate” deals you as an interesting part of life.  Your many friends admire your ability to find a positive side to almost any problem.  You have no peer when the ballots are in for “the most likely to succeed.”

 

 

Venus square Pluto  (Strength:  2.65)

 

(The Profound)

 

You may appear to be something you’re not to get what you want or to attract the mysterious, because you are intrigued by the unknown.  The intensity of your nature can tempt you to use underhanded methods to fulfill your compelling desires. If another exerts an undesirable influence over you, you may not break away because of basic insecurities.  Only light can dispel darkness.  Find ways to avoid what is unwise, unsafe, or unhealthy to restore you to politic thinking.

 

 

Mercury sextile Saturn  (Strength:  2.33)

 

(The Politic)

 

Your good judgment and a sense of reality keeps you in balance with your needs and how best to improve qualities of decency and decorum in yourself and others.  You are an exacting teacher with a good foundation in which experience, as well as classroom lessons plays a major part.  You have practical advice for those who ask your help.  Still, you can feel lonely if you restrict friendships to business.  Allow time for relaxation and the self-indulgence you deserve.

 

 

Moon trine Mercury  (Strength:  1.78)

 

(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:  1.51)

 

(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 trine Neptune  (Strength:  0.40)

 

(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.

 

Mars sextile Saturn  (Strength:  0.02)

 

(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 w

hen rewards are passed out.

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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 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.

 

 

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.
