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 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.

 

 

Sun in the Twelfth House

 

(The Recluse)

 

Some view this placement as the result of a misuse of power in past lives, because you are unduly hard on yourself.  Your over-active mind is impressionable.   You may become a square peg in a round hole if you wear the mask of others as your own.  You require periods of seclusion for rest and self-examination, because you question why “no-one” understands you.  If you seek counseling, you may become a counselor to help others avoid the pain of your experiences.  You, too, are deserving.  Acknowledge that if you are your own worst enemy, you can be your own best friend.

 

 

 

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 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 First House

 

(The Promoter)

 

You know yourself well and think on your feet.  You can express your point of view but may be scattered and easily distracted.  You may lack follow-through so that others think you too superficial to be taken seriously.  You often talk yourself into a desirable situation and lose it because of a tendency to hyperbolize.  Choose and channel your words with discipline.  Learn to be a good listener.  Remember, nothing worth remembering is accomplished by talk, alone.

 

 

Venus in Cancer

 

(The Protector)

 

You must be careful of “smothering” instead of “mothering” loved ones or, with the best of intentions, you may alienate them from you.  You attract those who need your help, but your own sense of security needs bolstering.   Emotional demands may draw you into studies of mysticism.  You can depend on your parents, and may be involved in a family business.  Your love of kin is paramount and will give you strength to do whatever is necessary to keep them together.

 

 

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 Capricorn

 

(The Enduring)

 

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

 

 

Mars in the Seventh House

 

(The Boss)

 

You will always walk a fine line between being the strongest of partners, or an arrogant bully. You carry a chip on your shoulder and make few efforts to hide it, preferring open conflict to hidden resentments. You attract those who stimulate your lightning mind and back your decisions. Together you may accomplish more than you can alone, but will be productive only if you find a personal solution to an irresistible force meeting an immovable object.

 

 

Jupiter in Cancer

 

(The Weight-watcher)

 

You may attract and absorb too much of a good thing, if you are a gourmet cook, or take the world’s burdens on your sympathetic shoulders.  Your acumen in business is unquestioned, but without someone to share your triumphs, you become disconsolate.  What you do for others is done from love; a day without friends is indeed a day without sunshine.

 

 

Jupiter in the First House

 

(The Bon Vivant)

 

You love life and life loves you right back!  People enjoy your company, and you have plenty of it.  Your confidence inspires confidence and your very presence is a lift to the spirits.  If you exaggerate truth, it’s only because you are expansive by nature and if something is good, you want to make it better — and, you usually do!

 

 

Saturn in Scorpio

 

(The Forceful)

 

The powerful image you create tempts you to thrust your ideas or will upon others, not always to their benefit — or YOURS — but just for a show of strength.  Your determination can make enemies and undermine your fine executive abilities.  Try to develop the compassion and flexibility inherent in all successful leaders.  Otherwise, your effectiveness will be limited.  You will be a champion without honor and must look to yourself for any rewards you receive.

 

 

Saturn in the Fifth House

 

(The Kill-joy)

 

The influence of an overly-strict father or lack of a sense-of-humor may feed your reputation as a “wet blanket,” or you may find others spoiling YOUR fun!  Instead of enjoying pleasures of the moment, you may regard them as distractions that keep you from shouldering your burdens.  Your ambitions may be beyond the reach of your children.  Don’t become the dull boy in the proverb: (“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!”)  Lighten up!  Live a little!

 

 

Uranus in Cancer

 

(The Whimsical)

 

You are an uncommon, often-disruptive influence in the home.  Overly-sensitive, you can brood over imagined wrongs, but may never voice your unhappiness or resentments.  Others may not comprehend your dour moods.  You can benefit by quiet times of self-analysis.  Try to include your loved ones in discussions that will strengthen your bonds and prevent the dissension associated with your eccentricities.  Much may be accomplished by mutual understanding.

 

 

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 Libra

 

(The Influenced)

 

You are subject to peer pressure which may not always serve your best interests.  Because you are an idealist, you may be drawn into causes that are without substance.  You seldom attempt anything alone, and prefer groups to a partner. If your dreams don’t interfere with the reality of a material world, you can inspire others to adopt altruistic ways of living.  It is your belief that what we have is not as important as our willingness to share it.

 

 

Neptune in the Fifth House

 

(The Romantic)

 

You tend to put people on pedestals, and expect more of them than they can deliver.  Your life is a soap-opera of your own creation from childhood, full of smiles and pathos.  If you could bottle or sell your dreams, or find a practical use for them, such as projecting them into a theatrical project, the world that “always loves a lover” would welcome your refreshing views.  Otherwise, you may face perpetual disappointment by refusing to accept reality.

 

 

Pluto in Leo

 

(The Agitated)

 

Your ability to keep things at a fever pitch needs careful regulating to avoid constant upheaval in your life and the lives of others.  Your senses are keen.  Use them to recognize a need for transforming human affairs.  Take your place in bettering your environment by helping others to better theirs.  It is preferable to accept the accolades of your peers for your good work than to indulge the self-aggrandizement negatively associated with your sign.

 

 

Pluto in the Third House

 

(The Dominator)

 

You regard life seriously, questioning yourself and others at every turn and disdaining the frailty of human existence.  Frivolity seems without value and your uncommon powers of concentration make you impervious to pleasurable distraction.  You may impose your will on co-workers and relatives; then criticize their inability  to cope.  If you are inflexible, you may build a wall that prevents sharing your life and become a prisoner of your own design.

 

 

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

 

Moon square Jupiter  (Strength:  6.83)

 

(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.

 

 

Mercury trine Neptune  (Strength:  5.68)

 

(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.

 

 

Venus trine Saturn  (Strength:  5.21)

 

(The Stable)

 

You view relationships realistically so the bonds you form are sensible and of lasting quality.  In business, you are able to stretch resources or make do with limited means.  You realize the value of commitment in personal unions as an opportunity to build something substantial with a helpmate, but are not necessarily unromantic in your approach.  If you remain single, you will provide for emotional support to keep your life in balance, which is one secret of your success.

 

 

Mercury conjunct Ascendant  (Strength:  3.61)

 

(The Accelerator)

 

You are quick to recognize and seize an opportunity for personal progress.  You may create openings for your advancement, since no one can sell yourself better than you.  You know what you want and can find a way to achieve it.  Try not to react or take the criticism of others to heart, unless they are in authority, as they may stand in your way or delay your success.  You know yourself well.  Elevate your sights beyond what is available and set yourself higher goals.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.60)

 

(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.”

 

 

Moon square Venus  (Strength:  3.22)

 

(The Impassioned)

 

You are intent on romance, but may be too fervent to realize you are over-protective or possessive of your loved-one.  If you do not have a relationship, you will feel out of balance until you attract a partner, and will make every effort to do so.  Your feelings may stem from a parent-child affinity if you are sentimental about the marriage of your parents.  Be sure you are acting from real love more than sentiment or need if you consider entering a commitment.

 

 

Uranus square Neptune  (Strength:  2.87)

 

(The Elusive)

 

You tend to sidestep issues you don’t want to deal with and may try to escape into unrealistic abstractions, though you see them as truth.  The world can be a confusing place in which to live, but you must address life as realistically as possible.  Yours is a challenge to find ways in which to use your unusual talents productively.  Your viewpoint is all-important, as you must discover how to adjust to circumstances that require practicality, as well as imagination.

 

 

Jupiter trine Saturn  (Strength:  2.83)

 

(The Shrewd)

 

Little escapes your notice, and you believe in giving the same attention to details as to the larger picture.  You realize your potential and are realistic in your ability to achieve your goals.  You can make-do with little or manipulate your investments and holdings to advantage.  You seldom shirk responsibility and try to do what is expected of you, even if it means going an “extra mile.”  With your willingness to learn as you earn, you have every chance for success.

 

 

Mercury sextile Pluto  (Strength:  2.53)

 

(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 Mars  (Strength:  2.29)

 

(The Indiscriminate)

 

Your relationships are sometimes short-lived because you are impulsively drawn to superficial qualities of beauty which are not of lasting value.  You are highly physical and may express yourself in sports activities or arts which require the energetic or militant exercise employed in modern dance or Jujitsu.  Learn to balance basic urges so that you do not make undue demands on partners or activate selfish traits that neither can tolerate and will eventually destroy your union.

 

 

Sun inconjunct Saturn  (Strength:  2.23)

 

(The Learner)

 

You, of all people, can profit from this usually self-defeating aspect, if only you make an effort to overcome your propensity for self-pity.  The attitude you project is all-important if you expect partners to support your ideas.  Your depressions can bring others down, too.  Concentrate on getting the inner self out of the way so you can contribute the practical results of lessons you have learned the hard way to a world in need of your innate qualities of practicality.

 

 

Venus conjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  2.05)

 

(Lady Luck)

 

Because of your ability to see beauty in all things, your life is generally harmonious.  You are concerned with meaningful values and do not waste time with unproductive trivia.  Your intuition, while somewhat optimistic, is not unrealistic and can guide you into circumstances which others may interpret as “lucky.”  Your luck is in being prepared to take advantage of chances that come your way with a positive outlook and confidence that you have what it takes to succeed.

 

Moon square Mercury  (Strength:  1.33)

 

(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.

 

Sun inconjunct Mars  (Strength:  1.28)

 

(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.

 

Moon inconjunct Saturn  (Strength:  1.00)

 

(The Guilt-stricken)

 

A victim of self-restrictions, you must learn early-on to open your mind to positive ways of expression.  “New thought” philosophies may be helpful in overcoming youthful programming or a need to accept too many responsibilities too soon.  Try to develop a sense of humor.  Self-limitations are as likely as burdens forced on you by others. “Lighten up” or you may suffer severe emotional suppression with a variety of physical impairments as undesirable demonstrations.

 

Mercury conjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  0.35)

 

(The Attainer)

 

You view life on a large scale and are sure that you can always do more than is expected of you.  Though you are understanding of others’ views, you are not likely to be influenced by them and are confident within yourself. However, if you can expand your thinking through new ideas, you will do so.  You are well-liked because your attitude is positive and you have the ability to say the right thing at the right time to lift the spirits of those who need it.

 

Sun sextile Moon  (Strength:  0.23)

 

(The Serene)

 

You are easy-going and easy to get along with.  You don’t look for trouble, so don’t usually find it.  You dislike “taking sides” with friends because it disrupts the harmony you enjoy.  If there are difficulties, you will try to resolve them in the simplest way.  You confront your own problems without emotional turbulence and make short work of any negative attitudes that crop up as self-deprecation or depressions that might destroy y

our pleasant outlook.

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

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.

 

 

Abundant Water

 

In your case, the heart rules the head.  Your emotional drives are strong and you act primarily on the basis of your feelings.  Whether your feelings are purely personal, interpersonal, or transpersonal is up to you, but generally you are a life-oriented person who feels keenly and who acts to support your family, friends, and community.  You are happiest when you are in a caring relationship with a significant other.  That person should be comfortable with the emotional closeness that you bring to relationships, while providing the structure or inspiration that you need.  Some of your friends will not be as comfortable with emotional closeness as you are, and you will have to respect their boundaries.  You have probably learned over the years how to keep your sensitive nature from being hurt.  Don’t permanently withdraw, but find the people with whom and the environment in which you can be yourself.

 

Because of your sensitivity, you easily pick up others’ thoughts and feelings.  You can anticipate others’ needs before they have expressed them.  You can usually rely on your intuition when it comes to forecasting the outcome of personal and career decisions.  If you decide to use your psychic abilities for healing, learn to let go of the negative feelings that you process from others.  Since you are so sensitive, find quiet moments for private introspection in which you can reconnect with what you feel instead of what others feel.  You also find it revitalizing to be around large bodies of water.

 

You do have a need to stop and think things through before acting.  Make the effort to communicate with others who may have a more objective viewpoint or who could see solutions that elude you.  You can sometimes be criticized for acting from a purely personal perspective, which you could avoid by learning and respecting society’s larger viewpoint.  You can be very creative in finding paths to your personal goals.  Keep the larger viewpoint in mind and later you will not have to try to rationalize to others why you chose those paths.

 

 

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 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.

 

 

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.
