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

 

 

Scorpio Ascendant

 

(The Master)

 

Your unwavering, sometimes piercing gaze states that you are secure in the knowledge of who you are.  You like to have your own way, and if you don’t get it, will devise a dozen different strategies to have it, anyway!  Your strengths are divided, and present two definite sides of the same coin:  You are a loyal friend and a bitter enemy; have high morals or little conscience; and employ your finest or most scurrilous qualities with equal vigor.  The choice is always yours.

 

 

 

Sun in Sagittarius

 

(Keynote: I ASPIRE)

 

You are self-reliant, ambitious, optimistic and friendly.  You may also be sarcastic, self-indulgent, impatient and tactless.   Others may see you as irresponsible, and a capricious flirt.  The truth is you are acutely aware of human values and enjoy improving potential.  You relate well to children, animals and the environment, and find them all fascinating.  You avoid commitment, which you feel restricts your freedom to expand.  Your bluntness often disguises a compassionate heart, deserving of rewards for your generous contributions to our planet.

 

 

Sun in the First House

 

(The Driving Force)

 

In all things you must be first.  Patience is not your long suit, but try to make allowances for those who lack your talent for making quick judgments.  Partnerships can be difficult because of your hair-trigger temper.  It is through your partners that you find the harmony and stability you so desperately need for balance.  You have what it takes to succeed: Good health, charm, confidence and courage — the qualities of a leader.  But, they are also the traits of a tyrant.  The choice is always yours as to how you use the tremendous powers at your disposal.

 

 

 

Moon in Aquarius

 

(The Individual)

 

You are not always practical, but are unorthodox and misunderstood by those who do not appreciate that you are a true liberal of rare talent.  You cannot be restricted by the bonds of convention or a regulated society.  Whatever you do is done with all your heart, but once you have accomplished your purpose, you move on, which may give you a reputation of indifference.  Your independence can result in loneliness, though you surround yourself with people and join causes in which you strongly believe.  You search for enlightenment to bring you to the state of peace and tranquility you long for.

 

 

Moon in the Third House

 

(The Telepathist)

 

Use your intuitive powers to express yourself, but first, be stable enough to employ them.  Eastern philosophies of meditation are particularly helpful since you will become increasingly aware of a need to go within for the truths you seek.  In groups, you may regard friends as brothers and sisters, and value mutual understanding, rather than conversation, as a bond, but do not depend on feelings, alone, to communicate with others.

 

 

Mercury in Scorpio

 

(The Detective)

 

You are a master at exposing secrets, but allow others to know only what you wish to disclose.  In solving problems, you have no peer.  Your stubborn determination will not let you rest until you are satisfied with results you personally approve.  You speak forcefully, and sometimes sarcastically, not always to your credit.  You may explore the occult or mind control.  Only the highly evolved realize that such power is a privilege, not a given, and use it wisely.

 

 

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 Capricorn

 

(The Austere)

 

You are extremely aware of social status and chances to improve your position.  Your determination and ambition are admired by your business associates.  You may marry the “boss’s daughter/son”.  Once committed, you are unswervingly faithful and loyal, but your marriage can be “an arrangement” rather than a love-match.  You will make your family proud, but may deprive your spouse or others of affection, due to your emotional nature, which is often severe and unyielding.

 

 

Venus in the Third House

 

(The Salesman)

 

Identification with siblings can improve the security and structure you need to overcome an inherent restlessness.  It is essential to settle down and apply yourself.  Acquire skills which will enhance natural talents of communication.  “Sweet talking” may become a way of life.  With proper channeling it may lead to a successful and lucrative career in anything from teaching to television.  You can influence a world waiting with open ears for what you have to say.

 

 

Mars in Aries

 

(The Fire-walker)

 

It is important to find productive ways of using your tremendous energies.  You are as much a force for destruction as you are for the preservation of the ethics and ideals you stand for.  Your aggressiveness is a two-edged sword that may turn against you if you use it impulsively or to “bully” those who might otherwise willingly follow your lead.   You may be “number one”, but must decide whether you will be remembered as a valiant leader or an ignoble oppressor.

 

 

Mars in the Sixth House

 

(The Team Captain)

 

You are impatient to achieve success.  You identify with any project personally, so always do your best.  As a team member, you may become frustrated if things don’t go your way. In charge, you expect your workers to share your enthusiasm and put forth the same effort you expend, but will demand the lion’s share of credit.  Add the respect of your followers to your laurels by sharing the rewards of your labor.  A demanding employer may also be a generous friend.

 

 

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.

 

 

Jupiter in the Third House

 

(The Big Brother)

 

You’re always available to entertain or take care of your siblings.  It’s hard for you to turn anybody down.  But, you may take on more than you can handle.  Dependents can become a burden that limits your chances to expand your own horizons. Take your place as a citizen in a tired world ready to welcome your gift of universal friendship.

 

 

Saturn in Cancer

 

(The Runner)

 

You change your environment constantly in the hope of finding the parental love and support you craved in childhood. New environments can never replace deeply-ingrained emotions that refuse to die.  Put away “childish things.”  Remember them lovingly, and not with sadness that they are no longer valid.  In assuming adult responsibility, you will establish a new rapport with comforting flesh — that of creating your own home and family, which is more fulfilling, still.

 

 

Saturn in the Eighth House

 

(The Executor)

 

Money and the resources of others will always be important to you.  You may experience financial hardships, so will learn early to stand on your own two feet and to build your foundations carefully. You have a healthy respect for money and may be asked to handle funds for others.  While people respect your judgment, it is essential that you learn to integrate their wishes in your decisions without surrendering your identity in the process.

 

 

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 Twelfth House

 

(The Subversive)

 

You may work a lifetime to escape the harassment of those who don’t understand you.  You tend to be reclusive under pressure, but this is not the answer to your problems.  The secrets of your subconscious mind are waiting to be discovered. Your dreams may hold clues as to why negative ideas surface unbidden during your waking moments.  Fortunately, you will attract the proper teachers to help you understand yourself when their advice is most needed.

 

 

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 First House

 

(The Dreamer)

 

Your wonderful imagination can take you far in a career or work against you, personally.  Idealistic by nature, you are easily led into situations that have little or no value, or you may guide others erroneously. You are self-effacing and often self-sacrificing since it is hard to turn away those who ask your help.  Unusual childhood experiences should convince you to take a second look at life before plunging headlong into spaces that even angels may avoid.

 

 

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 Eleventh House

 

(The Searcher)

 

You may want something with all your heart, but when you get it, decide it’s not what you want at all.  This is also true of people traveling in a sort of perpetual motion through your life.  Examine your relationships closely to determine whether their influence is positive or negative.  In time, meaningless friendships will end and when you sort out your values and are sure of your goals, you’ll take your rightful place in the universe and find it fits like a glove.

 

 

Leo Midheaven

 

You are willing to put energy, dedication, high ideals, and sustained effort into a career.  The causes that you adopt will benefit from your understanding of promotion and publicity.  Often found in positions of authority, you like to deal with big causes and big people.  The image that you present in your career must be an image of which you are proud, which can make you either a charismatic leader to be admired or an authoritative tyrant to be resented.

 

Develop the confidence to allow your creative energies to flow.  You can be the leader with the exciting ideas on which others depend.  You are rarely found in a career situation in which someone else is dictating the hours.  You can bring much joy to others by giving generously of yourself.  But this will not be in an unassuming way, for you do like to stand out from the crowd.  If you have a weakness, it is to cling to your beliefs or an inflated self-image even in the face of obvious failure.  A wise gambler knows when to hold his hand of cards and when to fold them.

 

Occupations consistent with your dramatic style of work include actor, producer, executive, sports personality, politician, entertainer, fiction writer, leader, entrepreneur, minister, promoter, artist, or diplomat.  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 the sun, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Sagittarius

 

(The Fence Sitter)

 

You are afraid to make choices that may put you in the wrong.  Until you voice an opinion or convictions that are yours alone, you will not have earned the independence you desire.  Experience teaches that conflict often results from indifference.  Restore others’ confidence by repairing breaks in links of faith with the solder of concern and wisdom.

 

 

North Node in the Second House

 

(The Appraiser)

 

You question the value of everything and may be envious of what others possess.  You MUST establish what is meaningful to YOU!  You can’t siphon happiness and make it your own.  A fear that time is against you may produce feelings of inadequacy, but once you believe that you deserve what you get, you will make every effort to win rewards for good works.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Mercury conjunct Ascendant  (Strength:  9.37)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon trine Pluto  (Strength:  6.63)

 

(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 conjunct Neptune  (Strength:  6.36)

 

(The Metaphysician)

 

A low ego profile suits you to administer unselfishly to the world’s ills.  However, you must first overcome your own limitations.  Temptations to yield to low physical energy, a genius for deception and an addictive personality may force difficult choices.  If you serve those similarly afflicted, you will exhibit a compassion only you may understand.  Your sacrifices will be rewarded with a serenity known by few, but full payment will be exacted for your indiscretions.

 

 

Sun sextile Jupiter  (Strength:  5.56)

 

(The Fortunate)

 

You will find and associate with those with whom you can combine your ideas and efforts to everyone’s advantage.  You often attract those in authority who can further your efforts.  Because your plans are well formed, they usually bear fruit, giving you a reputation of being successful in whatever you tackle.  You learn and grow from your affiliations, and often conquer those who oppose you by inviting them to join in your joyous pursuit of the “good life!”

 

 

Moon conjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  5.50)

 

(The Equipollent)

 

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

 

 

Mars opposite Uranus  (Strength:  5.35)

 

(The Misfit)

 

You always seem in trouble because you are “out of step with the world” and resent limiting circumstances or authority.  You want your own way and freedom to explore, which can cause you to flare, unexpectedly.  You may use “surprise” tactics in conflicts with others.  It is never too late to change old habits for new ideas to improve your life. Stay flexible and see the views of others objectively.  Allow them the same freedom you struggle so hard to achieve.

 

 

Jupiter trine Pluto  (Strength:  4.89)

 

(The Activator)

 

You are consumed with a yearning for self-improvement, but must ask yourself why you are so driven.  You can inspire others as a “mover and a shaker” whose motivation is justified in the success you achieve, but it may not be enough.  Expand your efforts to include those who lack your zeal or courage to act on what they devoutly believe.  In helping others, you constantly renew yourself, your ambitions and the confidence that you can continue to grow by going the “extra mile.”

 

 

Venus square Mars  (Strength:  4.37)

 

(The Arduous)

 

You try too hard to secure and maintain relationships that are exciting but may be too difficult to last.  If you are not demanding, you may attract another who is, and be in constant contention with their desires.  Your attractions stem from basic creative urges, so there is a strong physical bonding between you and your partners.  Since you are very aware of your individual identity, find ways to express it without the conflicts which can disrupt your unions.

 

 

Moon sextile Neptune  (Strength:  3.80)

 

(The Perceptive)

 

Your senses are highly evolved so that you feel the “vibrations” of others.  You may also see colors, or “auras,” but unless you cultivate these gifts carefully, they may turn against you as delusions.  Avoid those who project negativity or it can infiltrate your character and weaken your gifts. Unless your abilities are recognized and encouraged, you will eventually become afraid of them or lose them altogether, as they need positive development to take full advantage.

 

 

Jupiter sextile Neptune  (Strength:  3.76)

 

(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.

 

 

Venus square Uranus  (Strength:  3.73)

 

(The Trifler)

 

A search for excitement keeps you constantly on the go.  Your flirtatious manner may not be acceptable to your companions, unless you have a partner who shares your love of adventure and freedom to explore.  A great deal of flexibility is necessary for your unions to survive.  If suppressed, your energy will demand undisciplined release, which is the stuff from which nervous breakdowns are made.  Find positive expression in the creativity with which you are blessed.

 

 

Sun sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.55)

 

(The Booster)

 

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

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.18)

 

(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 sextile Moon  (Strength:  3.17)

 

(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 your pleasant outlook.

 

Saturn square Pluto  (Strength:  2.69)

 

(True Grit)

 

You may feel the world is against you or that life is a continuous struggle, with you the innocent victim.  Even if you must combat overwhelming odds, you will find ways to express yourself and your ideas as an effective individual.  The more difficult the obstacle and the less you have to work with, the stronger you will become.  When you establish your values, you will defend them wholeheartedly and few can come against you without knowing they have been in a fight.

 

Moon inconjunct Saturn  (Strength:  1.09)

 

(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 i

mpairments as undesirable demonstrations.

 

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 Fire

 

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

 

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

 

 

Lack of 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.

 

 

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 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.

 

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

 

 

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.
