Introduction
This Spirit Success Report from Halloran Software’s AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program draws upon 576 paragraphs which interpret the places of the planets at the time of your birth, describing your personal houses, sign placements, and planetary aspects.
These astrological delineations depict your potential and how to make the most of it, or the challenges you will continue to face and how to confront and benefit from them. Though you may change through experience, your inherent characteristics will still motivate how you act and react to circumstances. How you handle yourself is really a clue to your success, and it is up to you to make the “right” choices.
Here are the parts which make up your chart:
HOUSES: Govern sections of your life, e.g., your money, your health, your partners, etc. They are also meaningful as to where your early interests lie and if they are worth pursuing.
SIGNS: Contribute feelings or vibrations to “color” planets, e.g., MERCURY rules GEMINI and VIRGO and emphasizes their qualities of thought, travel, health, and work. JUPITER rules SAGITTARIUS and higher education, spiritual growth, and law.
ASPECTS: Are angles combining the planets in the SIGNS/HOUSES that trigger the manner in which you will be influenced or can handle your qualities to advantage, e.g., MERCURY (thought) TRINE (in good aspect to) JUPITER (education and law) may indicate that you can succeed as a counselor in legal matters.
A “Strength” number precedes each ASPECT interpretation towards the end of the reading. This number synthesizes how exact is the aspect, whether the aspect is major or minor, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles. The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to live it out in your life.
You are most likely to feel and act out the Spirit Success Report’s sign and house placement interpretations when the planets involved are strong in your chart. This is true especially of the outer planets, Jupiter through Pluto. The Astrodynes program, also available from Halloran Software, calculates the respective power and harmony of all the planets in your chart.
Planets in Signs
Sun in Scorpio
(Keynote: I DESIRE)
You are resourceful, imaginative, sensitive and loyal, but are capable of being cruel, conniving, sarcastic and vengeful. Your incisive mind gives you powers of decision that are irrefutable. You are adept at gaining the confidence of others, though few people know you well. You will fight for your beliefs against any odds. Your regenerative qualities give you quick recovery from defeat or illness. If you share these gifts wisely, benefits to mankind will be your monument. Otherwise, you will have only destruction and waste to show for your corruption of power over a lifetime of abuse.
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.
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.
Venus in Virgo
(The Unappreciated)
Your feelings are vulnerable to the slights of others. Perhaps in retaliation, you have a tendency to overanalyze and criticize any partners in your life. You may also invite those whose standards are not your own, thereby giving you an opportunity for such censure. Use the discretion you employ in business to choose someone who will appreciate your fine qualities of selectivity and is able to expose the sympathetic nature you bury beneath the cool exterior you present.
Mars in Virgo
(The Indispensable)
You perform “to the letter” and often to an “nth” degree that is unnecessary. You seem to have unlimited physical resources, take orders well and respect regimen, but may have difficulty in relating to co-workers. In arguments, you express quickly, accurately, and, too often, sarcastically. You are a valuable helpmate in personal relationships, though a need to avoid expressing yourself in a superior manner should be recognized and modified to an acceptable level.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
(The Philosopher)
You are a student of life and gain your highest learning through experience, but can also expand your knowledge in metaphysical studies. Your optimism and faith in humanity make you responsible for lighting and passing an eternal flame of wisdom to successive generations, where it will multiply a thousand times with every life it touches.
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.
Uranus in Sagittarius
(The Diviner)
You are amazingly accurate in forecasting events or circumstances that come about. You have a good grasp of logic, so are unlikely to exceed your gifts, but use them to research areas that may contribute to the future of mankind. You are unconventional in your beliefs, fearless in your concepts, and may adopt philosophy rather than religion as a guideline. You should introduce prudence into your restless nature to create wisdom you may share with others.
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.
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.
North Node in Gemini
(The Whirlwind)
You try to stay so busy that personal commitment is impossible. If you take on more than you can handle, you cannot blame yourself for “failures.” You feel your education is inadequate. True communication is never one-sided. Allow others to voice their questions and opinions while you prepare answers gleaned from the worthwhile knowledge you possess.
Planets in Aspect
Sun conjunct Mercury (Strength: 4.61)
(The Conversationalist)
You express your opinions and ideas well, and may preface each sentence with “I”, since your focus is on yourself. If you are promoting your interests commercially, you will get your point across, but should listen to the views of others to enhance your chances of success. You enjoy travel and meeting with people to exchange ideas. You are a natural teacher. If you show a flair for writing, voicing your opinions may be useful and is often the mark of a successful columnist.
Sun conjunct Saturn (Strength: 4.14)
(The Restricted)
You have a heavy sense of duty that often limits your own potential. You tend to worry too much about “tomorrow,” even though your practicality and industry spurs you to accumulate necessary, if spartan things of life. You sometimes make circumstances more difficult than they really are and may be accused of lacking a sense of humor. Give yourself credit, not only for what you accomplish but for being a solid citizen that our planet can count on for the stability we need.
Venus conjunct Mars (Strength: 3.14)
(The Vivacious)
Your desire for affection is ongoing and you don’t mind being aggressive if you see someone you want as a friend or lover. You express your creativity in dress, look and manner and know how to approach others without seeming “pushy.” You make yourself the center of attention so you will attract those who are impressed with your enthusiasm. Relationships may be over as quickly as they begin, since you crave variety and are always on the lookout for new worlds to conquer.
Venus square Neptune (Strength: 2.66)
(The Hero-worshiper)
Your sense of the dramatic and a bent towards illusion can lead you to project more into a relationship than exists. You may fasten your affections on a rich or famous person. Or, you may live beyond your means keeping up with the “Joneses.” Your refusal to accept reality can reduce you to financial or emotional bankruptcy if you insist on living on fantasy. Your lively imagination can bring you admiration for creative efforts, if you turn your energy into developing them.
Neptune sextile Pluto (Strength: 1.40)
(The Self-aware)
It is important that you have the support of your family and friends. You are extremely sensitive and subject yourself to self-criticism that can be destructive and depressing. It may be that you need professional help to build your self-esteem. Later, you may transfer your intense feelings into knowledge you share with others. You may pursue a career in psychiatry or psychology, but will continue to investigate your own psyche for answers as to what “makes you tick.”
Mercury conjunct Saturn (Strength: 0.75)
(The Cautious)
You are apt to take a negative point of view so that you can be “prepared for the worst.” If you are narrow in your opinions of people, you will criticize them out of your life, but you can also see through attempts to deceive you or correct imperfections in relationships, as long as you are open to change. Learn not to project an attitude of gloom and if you have genuine complaints, air them before they are misinterpreted through your wary actions.
Jupiter conjunct Uranus (Strength: 0.73)
(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.
Balance of Elements and Modalities
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 Mutable
With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone’s friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others’ needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.
Lack of Cardinal
With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.
A lack of planets in the Cardinal signs can be offset by a Cardinal sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Angular houses.
