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

 

 

Sagittarius Ascendant

 

(The Forthright)

 

Your most outstanding quality is your cheerfulness,  even in the face of adversity.  Your friendly grin is always ready, open, and happily infectious.  You think and speak rapidly. It’s hard to stay angry with you, since your charm outweighs your lack of diplomacy, but the bluntness of your words can be detrimental to your success.  Try to practice patience, tact and discretion, as in the axiom:  “If you can’t say anything worthwhile or pleasant, don’t say it at all!”

 

 

 

Sun in Libra

 

(Keynote:  I BALANCE)

 

You are honest, refined, tactful and generous, but may also be indecisive, credulous, impractical and trifling.  Your willingness to put the feelings of others ahead of your own makes you a desirable friend, but leaves you open to subverting your personality.  You are in your element at social functions, and revel in the arts.  Avoid arguing in the name of “justice,” and  flaunting your “superior” knowledge. Maybe you ARE a “know-it-all,” but that attitude rarely influences people to agree.  You are more effective as a diplomat, winning friends to people your busy life.

 

 

Sun in the Tenth House

 

(The Super-achiever)

 

You are determined to be a success, sometimes at the expense of others.  You may justify a workaholic’s devotion to your career by arguing that you are “slaving” so that “others may benefit,” which may or may not be so.  You must be entirely above-board or take the time to correct past mistakes or deceits before you reach the top, because sooner or later you will have to account for your actions.  However, rest assured that no matter your faults, it is NEVER too late to begin again when you have learned from mistakes to build a firm foundation beneath the edifice you plan to erect.

 

 

 

Moon in Libra

 

(The Dependent)

 

You have a burning desire to please and will go to great lengths to do so.  You cultivate an image of glamour and success, are probably a compulsive buyer and enjoy wearing distinctive and expensive clothes.  You attract easily, and are popular, but fickle.  You may be over-critical of your partners until you realize that, because you are easily-led, you need someone to help you make decisions.  You are either too lazy or insecure to try to develop much self-reliance.  A strong instinct that a special relationship is “fated” may lead you to the proper person to be your life-mate.

 

 

Moon in the Tenth House

 

(The Celebrity)

 

Always on display, you are concerned with the impression you make.  A natural empathy with people lends insight to relate on almost any level, so a career in the spotlight has a good chance of succeeding, once you make up your mind to settle on an occupation. Your ambitions may produce an uneasy feeling you could do better if you had a new start, which may or may not be true.  Your motto should be “Get it right the first time.” (If not, you WILL try and try again!)

 

 

Mercury in Virgo

 

(The Interpreter)

 

You read people well and have an insight that is valuable in all types of relationships.  Your interest in health can lead towards promoting natural ways of improvement in diet and disciplined exercise.  If your efforts go unappreciated, you may become hypercritical and distance people with a superior attitude.  You are a tireless worker and once committed, will spend a lifetime at a task requiring painstaking application, which others would consider monotonous.

 

 

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 Scorpio

 

(The Passionate)

 

Your tempestuous nature is evident to anyone or anything you decide to possess or oppose.  You refuse to take “no” for an answer.  Others bend to your will because you are determined to have your own way, even if the result is not in your best interest.  Jealousy is a self-defeating fault, as is possessiveness.  Turn your power into self-control.   You have the ability to overcome negative qualities and lay a proper foundation to succeed in gaining what you desire most.

 

 

Venus in the Twelfth House

 

(The Helpmate)

 

You may be drawn into affairs that must be kept secret.  You will put yourself second as you support loved ones, but may feel your love is unrequited.  You may take the burden of blame upon yourself if things go wrong and find yourself like the poet who remonstrated: “Nevermore.”  The agony of a lost love was so eloquent that he could not bear to voice it, but had it spoken by a Raven.  Sometimes, a head ruling a broken heart can soften sorrows caused by the reverse.

 

 

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 Twelfth House

 

(The Social Worker)

 

A frustrated desire for recognition may make you feel as though you were fighting a losing battle.  You tend to be secretive and hold your troubles within, when the answer to your depression is the antithesis of your feelings.  By getting outside yourself and involved in the problems of others, you may find that you are the physician who has healed himself by inspiring hope in those who lack courage to accept a new lease on life, which you both deserve.

 

 

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 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 Aries

 

(The Repressed)

 

You may fight against restrictions imposed upon you, but if you insist on doing things “your” way, you will find stumbling blocks in your path and doors that should open will close.  Patience and forbearance will enforce the discipline to climb to the heights you struggle to gain.  In later years, you will receive the rewards you desire now.  Your solid foundations will last long after you have passed the frustration it took to achieve your purpose.

 

 

Saturn in the Fourth House

 

(The Disciplinarian)

 

You may feel “stuck in a rut” because of a childhood filled with responsibility.  Because of this, it is difficult for you to shed feelings you had when you were “stuck at home.”   At times, you may appear to be cold or too reserved.  Others may assume your spartan tastes are a reflection of your deprivation.  Upon leaving your family, try to put the past behind you and make a life of your own, unencumbered by the restraints of your formative years.

 

 

Uranus in Aquarius

 

(The Original)

 

You like yourself and are generally happy with who and what you are.  Even if there are some who think you eccentric instead of ingenious, you have a following of genuine friends who admire your distinctive ways.  Many of them are like you: open, kind, cultured, altruistic and social.  You probably share the same interests and concerns for the survival of the earth and the elevation of mankind.  In your competent hands, we might be closer to Utopia than most would believe.

 

 

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 Capricorn

 

(The Mogul)

 

No matter what you put your hand to, it seems to come up gold.  This is no accident, but the result of keen insight, careful planning, and the persistence to ride over rough times and wait until fortune smiles.  You’re sometimes observed as a barometer for the stock market.  Even obscure plans take shape under your direction.  When you trust someone, you take his shortcomings as your own.  If betrayed, your confidence can only be rebuilt by time and testing.

 

 

Neptune in the Second House

 

(The Squanderer)

 

You are indeed the grasshopper of Aesop’s Fables, tending to spend more than you earn without a thought for what tomorrow may bring.  It is hard to define your values.  Though you lean toward the spiritual, you find it irresistible to accumulate beautiful, but useless objects.  Try to establish a habit of thrift in your early years.  Distinguish between “wanting” and “needing” before you open your generous purse once too often and find yourself in the Poor House!

 

 

Pluto in Sagittarius

 

(The Kinsman)

 

Your high spiritual calling creates a restlessness that will not let you relax until others acknowledge what you know inherently:  That under the skin, all men are brothers.  Your mission is to discover a way of integrating concepts that are acceptable to all.  In your role as catalyst, you will learn patience to calm your strident condemnations of that which delays your plans or ideas you neither originate nor can grasp in the twinkling of an eye.

 

 

Pluto in the Twelfth House

 

(The Intellectual)

 

You tend to rationalize hidden feelings that prompt you to embark on programs of self-analysis, when you should go with an urge to seek the advice of someone in whom you can confide your secret thoughts.  Otherwise, without a productive way to vent the tremendous powers of your subconscious mind, you may encounter serious difficulties which will damage and inhibit your gift of using “mind over matter” to solve your problems and help others who need your support.

 

 

Virgo Midheaven

 

You may have several careers in your life, as this Midheaven placement changes careers easily.  In the variety of your career activities you tend to be something of a Renaissance man or woman.  You master a job through detailed application and critical thinking.  Your willingness to work long hours and attend to details makes you an excellent employee.  In the course of your career you may develop exceptional reasoning powers.  Your power of analysis makes you good at finding and repairing flaws.  It also makes you a discriminating buyer or shopper.

 

You see yourself as being of service to mankind.  Health issues may be important in some way to your career.  Something of a perfectionist in your work, you can be hard on others as well as on yourself.  When under stress, your discriminating nature can become overly harsh, pessimistic, and fault-finding.  You may vacillate between careers or become a worrying hypochondriac.  As you work to bring order to the world, you become able to illuminate the choices that others have before them.  This is how you make your best contribution.

 

Occupations consistent with your detail style of work include clerical or literary worker, secretary, librarian, physician or health worker, accountant, bookkeeper, cleaner, manager, critic, buyer, inspector, teacher, nutritionist, repairman, systems programmer, stockbroker, quality assurance expert, consultant, or any fine craft.  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 Mercury, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

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.

 

 

North Node in the Ninth House

 

(The Striver)

 

You feel you must work harder than others and may make false starts because you have so many choices.  Channel your thirst for knowledge towards your highest aims.  Nothing in your experience is wasted, no matter how scattered chances seem.  Your diplomatic talents allow you to please nearly everyone.  Use your gifts to achieve your goals.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Sun conjunct Moon  (Strength:  6.02)

 

(The Equalizer)

 

You are very aware of your feelings.  If there is a conflict in what you “can” or “should” do as opposed to what you would “like” to do, you must question the reasons for difference.  If not, suppressed emotions will surface, making you touchy and irritable or withdrawn and depressed.  Once you confront your difficulties, you will be able to relate your conscious actions to subconscious demands and take charge of your life in a manner entirely comfortable with your being.

 

 

Mercury conjunct Midheaven  (Strength:  5.61)

 

(The Introspective)

 

You are intent on improving your future, so continually re-evaluate your plans.  You are flexible, so will not miss many opportunities or become complaisant.  Your powers of communication make you an effective speaker.  You usually prepare what you will say, though you can “think on your feet” and have an ample store of information at your command.  If you are reasonable in your expectations, you should achieve the success that is ever-important to you.

 

 

Mercury trine Neptune  (Strength:  5.45)

 

(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.

 

 

Mars conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  4.49)

 

(The Adamant)

 

You are convinced that doing things “your way” is the best, if not the only way and will try to impress upon others that their opinions are worth little.  You may feel strongly that you can literally transform those who choose to follow your lead for the better and will work unceasingly in their behalf.  In reality, you may be reinforcing ego energies which need evaluation.  Perhaps you must adjust more realistically to circumstances before you can comply with your ego demands.

 

 

Moon trine Jupiter  (Strength:  4.44)

 

(The Popular)

 

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

 

 

Sun trine Jupiter  (Strength:  3.46)

 

(The Benefic)

 

You lay claim to everything life has to offer and then use your creativity to find ways of inventing “more.”  Coupled with an inner-confidence that you can do anything, you may attain more than even you envision.  Still, you cannot rely on “luck” to fulfill your potential, and must provide the energy necessary for success.  Yours is a life of spiritual as well as material growth.  Share your fortune with others if you would add satisfaction to your long list of achievements.

 

 

Sun trine Uranus  (Strength:  3.17)

 

(The Electrifier)

 

You are a motivating force, and often inspire others to follow your lead.  Never content with the “status quo,” a search for enlightenment can lead you to explore unusual ways of getting in touch with yourself.  Beware of “kooky” cults or schemes, but uplifting studies can be helpful.  One of these may be astrology.  If you are not productive, restless energy may appear as nervous disorders which can only be remedied by steps you take to restore your cosmic balance.

 

 

Uranus sextile Pluto  (Strength:  2.68)

 

(The Discoverer)

 

You are self-involved — not selfishly — but curious about what makes your world “tick.”  You will tackle nearly anything new with gusto.  Your own skills and talents amaze you as you uncover them.  You are not as analytical as mechanically-inclined.  You have the ability to take things apart and put them back together, embellished with your improvements.  Each success sparks you to take the next step in your evolvement.  You are excited about “tomorrow.”

 

 

Moon trine Uranus  (Strength:  2.20)

 

(The Remodeler)

 

You constantly look for new and unusual ways to improve your lifestyle.  You move easily from one relationship into another without arousing resentment or enmity, convincing everyone that changes are for the best.  As you grow in consciousness, you will expand on systems you may no longer find useful in their present form.  Not content to remain “status quo,” you are ever interested in personal progress and willing to explore new ways of attaining new goals.

 

 

Mercury sextile Mars  (Strength:  1.90)

 

(The Taskmaster)

 

You cannot expect everyone to keep up with your stamina or restless thoughts, and are apt to be too impatient to work well as a team member.  You may be a good employer, but only if you extend tolerance for the faults of others.  It is difficult for you to allow anyone a chance to do what you think you can do better.  You may be right, but use your quick and logical mind to reason whether it is worth the energy to prove over and over that you are “Number One.”

 

 

Mars sextile Uranus  (Strength:  1.18)

 

(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.

 

 

Mercury trine Uranus  (Strength:  0.56)

 

(The Ingenious)

 

You enjoy all forms of mental challenge and activity, particularly if it means interaction with others you find exciting or who can contribute new and different ideas.  You may show a gift for languages which will prove useful in visiting foreign lands, since you are an inveterate and intrepid traveler with a large curiosity bump to satisfy.  You find unusual ways to extricate yourself from obstacles or, better still, turn them into stepping stones.

 

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 Water

 

For you the world of feelings may be terra incognita.  Close interpersonal relations, which require the expression of feelings, and empathy for others’ feelings, do not come naturally or easily for you.  You have difficulty putting yourself in someone else’s shoes in order to feel what they feel.  You will learn how to deal with life in a tough, mental sort of way.  People looking for someone to empathize with them should not come to you.  Those people who are comfortable with you are not looking for emotional closeness.  It’s not that you don’t have emotions and feelings, but they do not come out easily in your relationships.  If you are an artist, they may come out in your art.  You probably take refuge from the difficulty of forming emotional connections by concentrating on intellectual, practical, or inspired activity.  Your best companions would be those who are able to inhabit these realms with you, but who are also in touch with their feelings.  They can help you to contact your own feelings and teach you to respect and honor other people’s feelings.

 

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

 

 

Lack of Earth

 

You may be so focused on the “bigger picture” that you have difficulty managing the many details of life.  Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities.  Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them.  Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit.  If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it.  Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone.  You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it.  If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.

 

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

 

 

Abundant Substance
