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 Gemini

 

(Keynote:  I THINK)

 

You are idealistic, witty, charming, inventive and active, as well as being undependable, nervous, restless and fragmented.  Your curious mind leaves few stones unturned, for you love to explore.  You are able to teach others what you have learned, and often improved upon.  Your unpredictability and uncanny intuition stimulates the imagination of your friends; you enjoy the stir you create in social settings.  You lose chances by trading commitment for superficiality. Your flexibility should allow you to choose any partner and turn the thrill of a moment into a lifetime of significance.

 

 

 

Moon in Taurus

 

(The Conservative)

 

Your emotions are stable, giving you a positive outlook and a belief that you are responsible for your own happiness.  You are ambitiously-materialistic and like to associate with successful people.  You have a good rapport with most women.  You probably have a pleasant speaking or singing voice, which you may utilize in a career, but must be careful of infections or tensions which can produce serious throat problems.  This is particularly true if you encounter rebuffs, since you tend to be possessive and do not take rejection well.  You may express suppressed frustrations on a physical plane.

 

 

Mercury in Cancer

 

(The Parent)

 

Your remarkable intuition lets you see the vulnerability of your fellow man, but it may be somewhat narrow in concept. You often depend more upon feelings than rationale to treat issues in an appropriate manner.  You may tend to relive childhood experiences, which can make you moody and sometimes reclusive, if the recall is painful.  Rather than retreat, learn from experience and consider the consequences of present actions as they may affect your future.

 

 

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.

 

 

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 Aquarius

 

(The Cosmopolitan)

 

You are truly liberal in your humanitarian views.  What some call “idealistic,” you practice as a way of life.  You sympathize with minority needs and work with the majority to improve mankind.  Visionary gifts allow you a glimpse of the future. If you succeed in your efforts to enrich the world, it will be a far better place in which to live.

 

 

Saturn in Capricorn

 

(The Controller)

 

Ambition motivates you to achieve your goals “no matter what!”  It is your belief in your executive qualities of perseverance and discipline that will get you to the top and determination that will keep you there.  Your relationships often take a back seat to your achievements, but man cannot live by bread, alone.  Do not take yourself so seriously that you fail to permit the sweetness of the outside world to intrude, however briefly, in your somewhat solitary life.

 

 

Uranus in Leo

 

(The Trend-setter)

 

You are first to volunteer, to explore, to introduce, to accept and to BE first in everything.  You enjoy standing in the limelight as someone creatively innovative.  But, you will not be content to perform; you are driven to take your place in an executive position that will distinguish you from your peers.  You attract off-beat people and situations.  Be sure to know who you are inviting into your life to avoid the unhappy pitfalls of impulsively-formed alliances.

 

 

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 Virgo

 

(The Pushover)

 

Your tender heart is on your sleeve, welcoming those who would take advantage.  Experience will grant you the knowledge that if you assume all burdens presented by the weak, they become weaker.  As you become discerning, you will utilize your ability to help others without damaging your potential and no longer assume self-sacrifice as a way of life.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon conjunct Venus  (Strength:  6.05)

 

(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 Neptune  (Strength:  5.55)

 

(The Sentimental)

 

You are a romantic who enjoys fantasizing dreams.  You will not be easily discouraged if you exercise a talent for writing.  There are those who will appreciate your efforts. You can be a daydreamer, but are also in touch with reality.  Though you may dislike discipline, you are capable of using it to achieve your aims.  Because of your affinity with humanity, you may sacrifice to help others, validating the spiritual insight inherent in your sympathetic nature.

 

 

Moon trine Pluto  (Strength:  5.41)

 

(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.

 

 

Sun sextile Mars  (Strength:  4.67)

 

(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 square Jupiter  (Strength:  4.27)

 

(The Self-indulgent)

 

You are interested in self-improvement, but may surfeit yourself with knowledge you may never use, and courses not appropriate to your lifestyle.  You are generous to a fault, but may exact payment by boasting to friends how you have traveled, studied and “lived.”  Self-improvement need not mean arrogance that can turn others from you.  Modesty will permit your exuberance for expansion to become a source of delight and interest rather than a reason for evasion and derision.

 

 

Jupiter square Neptune  (Strength:  3.84)

 

(The Converter)

 

Others may resist your attempts to better conditions through faith, hope and charity.  But, that will not destroy your belief that humanity merits improving.  You must prove yourself and your convictions if you are to win supporters of your compassionate causes.  Appearances can be deceiving.  Be sure that those who receive your generosity are worth your concern.  Your opponents may not always be aboveboard.  Try to discern who is really on your side and willing to help.

 

 

Venus trine Pluto  (Strength:  3.47)

 

(The Altruistic)

 

If you set your sights on your heart’s desires, little can stop you from achieving, but your spiritual scope is beyond personal wishes.  Intensity of purpose motivates you in meaningful relationships.  If you cannot fit into structures, examine yourself to decide whether a beneficial change is necessary or if “love” is being used selfishly to dominate or control.  You will learn through experience, but must continue to look inward to appreciate the real power you possess.

 

 

Mars conjunct Uranus  (Strength:  2.34)

 

(The Skyrocket)

 

Your energies are often restless, rather than productive.  You can be rebellious and hard to handle with little sense of the perils you attract.  One must expect the unexpected with your erratic behavior.  Find practical ways to use your sporadic bursts of strength and you may suddenly rise to fame.  However, as quickly as you reach your zenith, you may return to the humdrum of day-to-day living.  Even with your amazing stamina, you need time to recover from your feverish exploits.

 

 

Venus square Jupiter  (Strength:  2.32)

 

(The Spoiler)

 

Your tendency to exaggerate may be your downfall.  You may confuse wishing with attaining and neglect a proper foundation for rewards.  You are fond of social activities, but find it hard to resist temptations of the flesh, so may overindulge in foods that are too rich or drinks that are too potent.  It is hard to discourage you.  You are forever optimistic and in such good spirits that it would take a heart of stone to try to bring you down or ruin your day.

 

 

Moon opposite Neptune  (Strength:  2.11)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon square Saturn  (Strength:  2.06)

 

(The Lonely)

 

You may be depressed because you feel isolated and take the blame for your plight, but not know how to solve the problem. “Burying” yourself in work or other distractions is not going to satisfy you.  Relationships often mean chancing rejection, but if you hesitate to brave a possible loss of pride, you will also deny an opportunity for fulfillment.  By repressing feelings, you may find that you are denying expressions which can then emerge in a destructive way.

 

 

Venus square Saturn  (Strength:  2.01)

 

(The Rigid)

 

You expect relationships to conform to your standards, which can make a bonding permanent but sacrifice the interaction of stimulation and growth.  In business or personal partnerships, it is impossible to hold a line that is altogether unbending and expect everyone to be happy within its perimeters.  Communication is vital to your unions to find ways to endure that will not make you feel isolated or alone, even though you are bound to one another.

 

Jupiter inconjunct Pluto  (Strength:  1.85)

 

(The Moralizer)

 

You try to impress others that you know best.  Some will buy your extravagant promises of reform, and you may act as a guru or convert them to what you consider a superior way of thinking.  You cannot always afford to pay your way, and your excessiveness can prove costly to those who support you.  If you find it necessary to adopt a role of humility, consider that humility combined with learning is often valuable to produce the wisdom or balance you may still lack as a teacher.

 

Pluto conjunct North Node  (Strength:  1.23)

 

(The Force)

 

There is no doubt as to how you feel or where you stand.  Friends revere you.  Adversaries honor your determination, drive, and ability to see the best and worst at a glance.  You may be tempted to achieve by subversion, but would be wiser to learn the truths of karmic law:  You must suffer the fate you decree for others.  All are part of the same plan.  Blend the sharp blacks and whites of your life into a gray area — a neutral ground on which to meet your fellow man.

 

Sun sextile Uranus  (Strength:  1.01)

 

(The Changeable)

 

You are interested in “everything in the universe,” adapt to new circumstances and absorb fresh ideas quickly, but are lacking in follow-through and self-discipline.  “Up-front” in your attitude, you express yourself well as an individual.    You can be a faithful friend, but your partners must accept your chameleon-like qualities.  You see resistance to change as an intolerable restriction, since you view it as a key to improving your life and the lives of others.

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  0.70)

 

(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.”

 

Mercury inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  0.39)

 

(The Blind-spot)

 

You may be so intent on impressing others with your grandiose ideas that you fail to see your own shortcomings.  If you preach philosophical concepts, be sure that you adhere to the rules you set for others.  Or, you may be easily flattered and led to attempt more than you can handle.  It is unlikely that you will over-do periods of self-examination, or deal harshly with your faults.  Take an inward look before embarking on the outward leap that may lead to your downfall.

 

Mercury sextile Pluto  (Strength:  0.25)

 

(The Researcher)

 

Your favorite question may be “Why?” and you will not be content with superficial answers.  You have the drive and persistence to penetrate the heart of any matter that piques your curiosity.  Once you are sure of your facts, you seldom change your mind.  The same is true of your opinion of others. You may investigate a relationship before getting involved, and will either become a friend for life or turn your back on an association you are sure will go nowhere.

 

Venus opposite Neptune  (Strength:  0.16)

 

(The Pretender)

 

You enjoy a private world of make-believe, which may seem preferable to reality.  You are capable of deceiving others in the name of “love” with the “best” of intentions.  You will never forget the pleasure or the pain of a love relationship and may continue to fantasize what might have been after it has ended.  Choose to use your persuasive nature to improve partnerships or increase your spirituality by believing or convincing o

thers there is some good in everything.

 

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 Fire

 

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way.  You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership.  You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive.  Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

 

A lack of planets in Fire signs can be offset by a Fire sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Life.
