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

 

 

Leo Ascendant

 

(The Showman)

 

Your “mane” is your crowning glory and you delight in calling attention to it by tossing your head, or twisting or curling your hair.  You are conscious of your looks and enjoy displaying yourself to advantage.  Some consider you garish, but there are others who admire your colorful personality.  If you are shy, you still have the power to draw those to you who are somehow aware of the strength, warmth and pleasantly-entertaining personality behind your obscure exterior.

 

 

 

Sun in Cancer

 

(Keynote: I FEEL)

 

You are sensitive, nurturing, devoted and caring, but can be moody, petulant, over-emotional and unforgiving.  Your attachment to the home stems from an allegiance to a mother-figure.  Your interest in food may extend to gourmet cooking as a hobby or a career.  You are an excellent business person, with a shrewd and logical view, but tend to keep things to yourself, which is not always wise.  If you have no outlet for your feelings, you may make yourself the victim of digestive ills, or prolonged seclusion may cost you the friendship of those who represent security in your life.

 

 

Sun in the Eleventh House

 

(The People-pleaser)

 

You are everybody’s friend, but not always a friend to everybody.  You often value friendship above love and may choose to keep your friends for a lifetime.  Quick to bond, you may be equally quick to separate from a relationship when it appears you have nothing in common.  You will doubtless find a place in a variety of social and service clubs, and hold more than one office.  You adapt easily and fit into almost any group because you know how to get the most out of a situation, refuse to compromise your ideals, and maintain harmony by finding values to which all can relate.

 

 

 

Moon in Virgo

 

(The Spartan)

 

Your outwardly-cool attitude may cause others to approach you with caution, and make friendship difficult.  You are capable of accomplishing a lot, with little to work with.  You are not particularly ambitious, but may over-emphasize your limitations.  A place in scientific research is possible, where your practical mind and attention to detail can be appreciated.  If you are too hard on yourself or others, you can destroy your chances for recognition of your excellent merits.  Digestive difficulties may occur if you fret obsessively with no outlet for your frustrations.

 

 

Moon in the First House

 

(The Mystic)

 

You value the counsel of a mother-figure, but may not take her suggestions.  Women will always boost your sense of spiritual self-worth.  You are deeply aware of your superb intuition, but are inconsistent, so may not use it to advantage.  If you can’t understand your actions, consider your rising sign, since you closely identify with your ASC. You are affected by the emotions of others.  Try to tune into their needs and help to achieve them.

 

 

Mercury in Gemini

 

(The Versatile)

 

Your geniality plus a sense-of-humor contributes to social graces that make you a welcome addition to any group.  Your lack of patience encourages you to store trivia instead of knowledge, while limited concentration makes you an uncertain student.  You usually accept people at face value; since you are more interested in quantity rather than the quality of companions, you enjoy changing relationships often, but pride yourself on “never losing a friend.”

 

 

Mercury in the Tenth House

 

(The Reporter)

 

You are almost certain to try for a career in journalism or another form of communication.  Seldom at a loss for words, you can present yourself or others in a flattering light.  You may represent a celebrity or politician, or even become a public figure, yourself. Your restlessness and a need for constant change may be seen as “job-hopping,” so a career permitting you independence and the flexibility you need will allow you to give your best to all concerned.

 

 

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 Sagittarius

 

(The Skeptic)

 

Your demeanor is one of extreme self-confidence and defined direction.  You are distrustful of established regimen, prefer to march to your own drummer and defy others to keep up with you.  Red tape is “there to be cut,” but you realize you must operate within certain confines to make your innovative ideas acceptable.  You are a person who “packs his own chute.”  If you must fall to earth, it will be on your terms and you have no one to blame but yourself.

 

 

Mars in the Fourth House

 

(The Maverick)

 

You are impatient to grow up so you can do things your own way.  You’ll resent childhood limitations, but if allowed to lead in family projects, take pride in achievement.  Using your considerable physical energy in a productive manner is essential to your well-being.  Competitive sports bring out the best in you, but you are a poor loser.  You need to learn good sportsmanship to fit you for the place of prominence you will strive to achieve as an adult.

 

 

Jupiter in Virgo

 

(The Hopeful)

 

Flashes of optimism will ease your concerns with yourself, allow you to relax, and overcome feelings of apprehension.  By being “yourself,” others can admire your fine qualities of intelligence, insight and practicality.  During those periods you may receive the advances you’ve desired, but were too conservative to promote.

 

 

Jupiter in the Second House

 

(The Big Spender)

 

You’ll let someone else take the dinner check, but if it’s haute cuisine, you don’t mind paying for it.  You may even spend to impress others, or talk them into investing, but your free-wheeling ways can squander their money.  And, you’re so cheerful about it, they may not even mind!  Your motto is, “If it’s there to enjoy, count the pleasure, not the cost!

 

 

Saturn in Taurus

 

(The Dejected)

 

Frugality is against your nature, but you feel a need to “pinch pennies” which can earn you a reputation for being “tight.”  You may be unduly concerned over finances and possessions.  Love is also a part of the security you crave. Learn to accept losses that everyone experiences from time to time.  You should be able to acquire enough material means to alleviate your fears and enjoy the caring relationships essential to your well-being.

 

 

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 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.

 

 

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 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.

 

 

Neptune in the Fourth House

 

(The Nonconformist)

 

Even though you may defy the edicts of your parents, you will always look to them for guidance.  Your mother, in particular, may instill high ideals upon which to mold your life.  Home means shelter to you.  You will decorate it to suit yourself, regardless of what is in vogue, or seems practical.  You make your environs uniquely yours.  However, you tend to be untidy, and may destroy what you have built by neglecting to care for your creations.

 

 

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.

 

 

Pluto in the Second House

 

(The Materialist)

 

You may lend more importance to the acquisition of material goods than is due, and be obsessive about “who owns what” in property disputes.  Be objective in determining values, or you may find an outstanding business acumen stunted by your reluctance to include associates in the profits.  You may rebuild your foundations time and again before achieving success, but once you reach your zenith there is very little that can topple you from the place you have earned.

 

 

Taurus Midheaven

 

You will do best in a career that offers steady growth, a career in which you can study what works and then be the one to provide stability and direction for the organization.  As long as you are earning a good income, enjoy positive relations with your coworkers, and have a little beauty where you work, you will be content to work quietly.  You are unlikely to push for change or to be combative in the workplace, unless someone affronts your pride.

 

You are good at cultivating relations with people, as opposed to things, and will extend yourself to others in the workplace. Your network of personal connections and inside knowledge, gained over time, makes you quite a resourceful employee.   You have faith in common sense and the existing order.  Change throws you off-balance.  If you are emotionally stressed, you may regard acquiring material possessions to be some sort of solution, which it is not.  You could also become surprisingly stubbon and vocal in your displeasure.  Remember that you have developed many resources.  Concentrate upon cultivating and using them for the common good.

 

Occupations consistent with your stable, practical style of work include official, executive, artist, singer, musician, designer, beautician, banker, business investor, property manager, farmer, stockbreeder, evangelist, advertiser, builder or public servant.  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 Venus, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Pisces

 

(The Purist)

 

You have definite ideas of what the world should be like.  True comradeship is a rarity because few measure up to your rigid standards.  Your search for higher spirit will stimulate compassion for your fellow man and allow for human failure. No one may fulfill another’s karma or judge another’s essence.  Your desire should be to try to perfect yourself, inspiring others to do the same by your example.

 

 

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

 

Moon trine Venus  (Strength:  7.49)

 

(The Lover)

 

You live for love and instinctively know how to have your love returned.  You enjoy socializing with friends, and like to make or give little mementos that have personal meaning.  You may work or be employed in a manner that provides an outlet for your artistic gifts.  When you fall in love, your partner will be fortunate as you find a thousand ways to express your love unselfishly without jealousy, possessiveness or other destructive qualities to spoil your idyll.

 

 

Sun square Uranus  (Strength:  6.91)

 

(The Daredevil)

 

You are courageous, but may also be rebellious and reckless.  If expecting the unexpected appeals to you, your life should be as thrilling and exciting as you could wish. But, if you try to sail a smooth sea, you may invite upsets that continually disturb your plans.  Changes may damage your originality, if you plunge headlong into the unknown, but upon examination may provide you with the means to mold your life-direction until it accommodates your special cast.

 

 

Venus conjunct Midheaven  (Strength:  4.48)

 

(The Altruistic)

 

You may be “in love with love” but express it as a desire for universal love in the world.  You radiate inner beauty and extend friendship, which is returned.  You enjoy entertaining and entertainment.  You may carve a career in the arts, but have to gather the energy to exercise the resolve necessary to achieve the fortune you pursue, instead of daydreaming.  You are extremely social and dislike being alone.  With the charm you possess, that’s not likely to happen.

 

 

Sun square Jupiter  (Strength:  4.31)

 

(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 in chronic social indigestion.

 

 

Jupiter conjunct Uranus  (Strength:  3.39)

 

(The Unexpected)

 

You may be caught off-balance, but have sufficient confidence to regain your footing and make the most of what lies ahead.  You are optimistic and feel that “everything is for the best” so are undaunted by a few bumps and jolts along the way to unusual opportunities that dot your path.  If your landscape were smooth and without hills to climb, you would think it dull and long for the excitement you seem to invite or create as a part of your adventurous lifestyle.

 

 

Jupiter sextile Neptune  (Strength:  3.14)

 

(The Philanthropist)

 

Traditional views of religion are not necessarily satisfying to your need for spirituality.  You may prefer to “live” your faith rather than give it “lip service.”  Your concern for others prompts you to extend a helping hand in a sincere desire to serve, but does not mean you can accomplish miracles.  But, if you achieve a balance between the demands of the material world and continue to do uplifting work, you will one day know the meaning of fulfillment.

 

 

Mercury opposite Mars  (Strength:  1.71)

 

(The Hostile)

 

You are your own person, a self-motivator, and have the initiative to work on your own.  However, your “me first” ego can attract those who will challenge you.  It is not so much what you say, but the way you present yourself that dares others to argue, often just for the sake of arguing.  Find a release for the energies that provoke your attitude, or you may invite accidents because you are physically trying to air hidden anger or frustrations.

 

 

Moon square Mercury  (Strength:  1.64)

 

(The Misunderstood)

 

You can encounter considerable frustration in getting your point across.  It is not that others are ignorant, but that you are too emotionally involved with what you are trying to say to use a logical approach.  If you express your feelings, it may be a good way to relieve tension and invite new insight to “clear the air.”  It is not necessarily compromise but mutual rapport that often resolves any lack of communication that exists between you and your opposition.

 

 

Jupiter conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  1.15)

 

(The Ambitious)

 

Once you set a goal, you put all your energy into achieving it.  You have an instinct for timing that is sometimes precognitive, and gives you the momentum to hit your zenith at the right instant.  Your aims are extremely personal, geared toward your improvement.  You are not anxious to share rewards, since success is an obsession into which you pour your resources.  As long as you do not distort your values, your drive for power will undoubtedly pay off.

 

 

Mars inconjunct Saturn  (Strength:  0.70)

 

(The Controlled)

 

You may feel the world is against you because of restrictions you may have earned!  An illusion that you must become an adult overnight may mean that you are in a hurry to grow up.  If you turn frustrations inward, you may invite fevers or other physical drains.  If you do not receive recognition for your hard work, you might adapt the philosopher’s view that “The highest reward for honest toil is not what you get for it, but what you become by it!”

 

 

Uranus sextile Neptune  (Strength:  0.53)

 

(The Pupil)

 

You will undergo radical transformation more than once as you progress from neophyte to adept in the school of life. You look for new and different ways to relate to your place in the sun and the universe, and will be happier in philosophies or religions that express “new thought” than in traditional frameworks.  You will attract unusual companions who are involved in the same kind of metaphysical or esoteric studies that you explore; you will support each other in your findings.

 

 

Sun inconjunct Neptune  (Strength:  0.44)

 

(The Disbeliever)

 

You are like a sleepwalker, moving through life in a dreamlike state.  You are filled with self-doubt, but mistrust the advice of others.  You allow yourself to be overwhelmed by rejection, but you are easily discouraged.  Learn not to blow things out of proportion.  You may opt for the “easy way out” instead of sticking to a problem until you have solved it.  Cultivate your inner feelings.  You can learn to rely on your instincts and prove yourself through positive experience.

 

Sun inconjunct Mars  (Strength:  0.41)

 

(The Precocious)

 

The excitement on which you thrive may be the cause of your basic instability.  You are frustrated by “lazy” or indifferent attitudes and can turn your volatility into inflammatory health problems.  Your haste can produce accidents and injuries which may involve your partners. Discrimination should become your watchword.  Consider the views of others.  Rather than scatter your energies, wait for the proper moment to channel them towards your success.

 

Mars sextile Uranus  (Strength:  0.32)

 

(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.

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  0.02)

 

(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 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.

 

 

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.

 

 

Abundant Substance

 

With abundant planets in the houses of substance, you know your place in the material world.  You know how to extract value and give value via your business, work, and career activities.  The rules of the world come easily to you.  Others admire and depend on your hard work and practical nature.  If you get depressed, make time for recreation and family.

 

 

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 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.

 

 

Lack of Relationships

 

Relating to other people probably plays a minor role in your life.  You could remain unmarried, be a loner, or even be an orphan.  Your thinking is probably subjective or personal, without the objectivity that comes from having communicated with many people.  Let others teach you by showing you and if they give you any feedback on your thinking, see if you can learn from it.

 

A lack of planets in the houses of Relationships can be offset by abundant planets in Air signs.

 

 

Abundant Mutable
