Introduction

 

This Spirit Success Report from Halloran Software’s AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program draws upon 576 paragraphs which interpret the places of the planets at the time of your birth, describing your personal houses, sign placements, and planetary aspects.

 

These astrological delineations depict your potential and how to make the most of it, or the challenges you will continue to face and how to confront and benefit from them.  Though you may change through experience, your inherent characteristics will still motivate how you act and react to circumstances.  How you handle yourself is really a clue to your success, and it is up to you to make the “right” choices.

 

Here are the parts which make up your chart:

 

HOUSES:  Govern sections of your life, e.g., your money, your health, your partners, etc.  They are also meaningful as to where your early interests lie and if they are worth pursuing.

 

SIGNS:  Contribute feelings or vibrations to “color” planets, e.g., MERCURY rules GEMINI and VIRGO and emphasizes their qualities of thought, travel, health, and work.  JUPITER rules SAGITTARIUS and higher education, spiritual growth, and law.

 

ASPECTS:  Are angles combining the planets in the SIGNS/HOUSES that trigger the manner in which you will be influenced or can handle your qualities to advantage, e.g., MERCURY (thought) TRINE (in good aspect to) JUPITER (education and law) may indicate that you can succeed as a counselor in legal matters.

 

A “Strength” number precedes each ASPECT interpretation towards the end of the reading.  This number synthesizes how exact is the aspect, whether the aspect is major or minor, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles.  The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to live it out in your life.

 

You are most likely to feel and act out the Spirit Success Report’s sign and house placement interpretations when the planets involved are strong in your chart.  This is true especially of the outer planets, Jupiter through Pluto.  The Astrodynes program, also available from Halloran Software, calculates the respective power and harmony of all the planets in your chart.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Signs and Houses

 

 

Leo Ascendant

 

(The Showman)

 

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

 

 

 

Sun in Cancer

 

(Keynote: I FEEL)

 

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

 

 

Sun in the 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 Capricorn

 

(The Notorious)

 

You are usually cautious and realistically-discerning, but your ambition could place you in an unfavorable light if you are not entirely above-board in your dealings.  The same self-assurance and executive ability that can bring you the prominence you desire can also attract the envy of others who would destroy your chances of fame.  You appear to be austere, emotionless and calculating, and should develop lighter moods that allow your priceless sense of humor to emerge and make you seem more in sync with your peers.  To be a leader of people, you must first let them see that you are one of them.

 

 

Moon in the Sixth House

 

(Les Miserables)

 

A devotion to duty, when coupled with the psychological impact of feeling “used”, can result in what can only be termed a “martyr complex.”  Because you are serious by nature, you will allow, and even insist on bearing the impositions of others; then fretting over your oppressions until you make yourself ill.  Learn to know what is your package, and then how to balance it so that it becomes not a BURDEN, but a steadying agent as you approach maturity.

 

 

Mercury in Cancer

 

(The Parent)

 

Your remarkable intuition lets you see the vulnerability of your fellow man, but it may be somewhat narrow in concept. You often depend more upon feelings than rationale to treat issues in an appropriate manner.  You may tend to relive childhood experiences, which can make you moody and sometimes reclusive, if the recall is painful.  Rather than retreat, learn from experience and consider the consequences of present actions as they may affect your future.

 

 

Mercury in the Eleventh House

 

(The Mingler)

 

You are at your best when your hopes and wishes mesh with those of others.  Your friends are like you, so you are convivially compatible.  Together, you solve dilemmas, further ideas, organize and socialize — but you may see things too much alike to expand in another direction.  You exemplify a fraternity; your parties are delightful, but with only the same guests invited, may in time become static and leave you longing for the variety missing from your fun.

 

 

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 Eleventh House

 

(The Organizer)

 

You are at your best working with groups of people and enjoy seeing that things go smoothly in meetings or social functions.  As a committee head, you see both sides of every question so can arbitrate disagreements and keep peace in the ranks.  As a fund-raiser, you are without equal.  However, you may spend as much or more than you take in because of your determination that when you are in charge, everything will be the best and everyone will have a good time.

 

 

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.

 

 

Mars in the Second House

 

(The Moneymaker)

 

Money, possessions and things you personally value will always be important to you.  The danger is that egoistic Mars can be obsessive and the acquisition of money may represent your only achievement.  While money is power, your life-values are a different kind of wealth.  At some time, you will need a partner to manage your assets.  It is only by sharing what you have earned OR learned that you receive full benefit of what you have achieved.

 

 

Jupiter in Aries

 

(The Pioneer)

 

You see the potential in everything and everybody, but success is not the same for everyone.  While nothing seems impossible to you, others are not blessed with your optimism that “where there’s a will, there’s a way.”  Undaunted by failure, you will not settle for less than the best and will try to reach a star, long after you’ve gained a mountain-top.

 

 

Jupiter in the Ninth House

 

(The Missionary)

 

You may feel you were born with a definite purpose in life to help others to elevate themselves to a position of higher learning.  Your ministerial bent may take you to foreign lands.  Whatever your message, you are firm in your beliefs and the authority you communicate in your writings or lectures will impress those who listen with your sincerity.

 

 

Saturn in Aquarius

 

(The Apprentice)

 

You are a student of the universe and will explore different avenues, while attracting a variety of friends. Many of these will be with you for your lifetime of discovery.  You will delve into both orthodox and progressive values before adapting them to your own original purposes.  Your findings may have intrinsic worth in your later years.  Don’t discount their significance.  A master is no less a master because he must adhere to a need for creature comforts.

 

 

Saturn in the Seventh House

 

(The Odd Couple)

 

You will often find partners disagreeing with what you personally desire, or the means by which you achieve your ends.  Your values may be different, due to an age-gap.  You are likely to be too stubborn to give up your beliefs, methods, or a relationship, itself.  Agree to disagree or to accept the fact that you both have much to learn from association.   You can profit by enlarging your understanding to include an opposite point of view.

 

 

Uranus in Virgo

 

(The Quirky)

 

You have talent for discovering unusual types of diet and herbal remedies, but must present an authoritative platform before encouraging others to try them.  Otherwise, you may be taken as a “quack” instead of a mechanist who qualifies as a valuable teacher.  A government position may introduce you to other countries and the fundamentals in ancient science as your foundation.  Employ a critical eye as a useful tool when discerning suitable applications in the healing arts.

 

 

Uranus in the Second House

 

(The Opportunist)

 

You are quick to react to sudden windfalls or calamities.  Challenges cause you to re-examine your priorities.   You are aware that “destiny” plays a hand in your affairs as the result of the course you have set, and that personal evolvement demands change.  You are not afraid to adopt an unconventional means of self-discovery or explore the unknown. You may choose a career in science or investigate astrology as a hobby–then make it your profession!

 

 

Neptune in Scorpio

 

(The Initiator)

 

You take great delight in other people’s secrets and may use them to advantage. If you have information that needs disclosure for the benefit of others, you may expose it in a subtle, but effective way.  You may also use your knowledge to promote a principle or public figures while working behind the scenes.  A leaning towards self-indulgence needs careful monitoring so that your strength is not used in abusive ways, but as a benefactor who prefers to remain anonymous.

 

 

Neptune in the Fourth House

 

(The Nonconformist)

 

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

 

 

Pluto in Virgo

 

(The Restorers)

 

You have a rare opportunity of renovating the world in carefully-structured channels when the environment seems at its lowest ebb.  Drugs, disease, addictions and crime will no longer be tolerated.  You will have a major part in seeing that justice is done.  Law-makers, and those who execute the law will be among your peers, as well as some who are willing to educate those who truly desire self-improvement as their contribution to elevate mankind.

 

 

Pluto in the Second House

 

(The Materialist)

 

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

 

 

Aries Midheaven

 

You will achieve your greatest success in life through competition, self-assertion, and your ability to start new activities.  Not one to sit on the sidelines, your career shows your need for pioneering activities, combat, challenge, and accomplishment.  You are a strong individual who can carry more than your share of the load.  You are self-directed and prefer to work independently.

 

You can throw fresh light on your chosen career field because you are so honest and direct.  Less adventuresome souls benefit from and continue the projects that you start.  One drawback of this placement is that (unless Virgo is rising) you find it difficult to perform routine tasks for long, especially if doing so does not bring the affection or praise that you desire.  If you are not mature, you may surprise others by resorting to brute force to get your own way.  Action for its own sake will exhaust you and lead nowhere.  When you are indecisive, actively search out the truth.

 

Occupations consistent with your active, leading style of work include director, instructor, superintendent, manager, inventor, pioneering writer, entrepreneur, athlete, dancer, actor, laborer, driver, policeman, security guard, or the military.  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 Mars, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Cancer

 

(The Regressor)

 

Your biggest stumbling block is your pride.  If you don’t receive the respect you feel you deserve, you will distance the love you desire.  Learn to give without expectation of rewards and remember the selfless nurturing received in childhood.  Offer that same care to others who need it now, if you would receive full value for emotional investments.

 

 

North Node in the Twelfth House

 

(The Neglected)

 

You may feel your high ideals set you apart, but are often aware that you are part of struggling humanity.  If you are unappreciated, you look inward for answers, and may find a morsel of truth.  But, life requires full participation.  In nurturing others, you will realize that we are all one and when the bell tolls, it does, indeed, “toll for thee!”

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Sun trine Neptune  (Strength:  5.28)

 

(The Harmonious)

 

Your innate idealism is spiritually inspired.  You believe in the “good, the true and the beautiful.”  Your relationships symbolize a wish for accord with all humanity. Do not waste your gift of a lively imagination in idle daydreams.  Coupled with an acute business acumen, it may take you far in the material world.  But, at some time you will discover a need for metaphysical growth and find a channel for expression that may be unusual but of benefit to others.

 

 

Sun square Jupiter  (Strength:  3.94)

 

(The Pompous)

 

Your eye is very much on the “donut” and not on the “hole.”  You are a citizen of the world and an eager learner, so benefit by extensive travel.  Others are excited by your dynamic presence and what you have to say, unless you spoil your image by exaggerating reality or monopolize center stage to hear your own voice.  Then, those great gulps of life you devour can distend your ego as well as your waistline and result in chronic social indigestion.

 

 

Moon trine Mars  (Strength:  3.32)

 

(The Spearhead)

 

Your high physical energy propels you to the head of the crowd.  Whatever you do will be aggressively active, and sometimes competitive, but not necessarily combative. Relationships with others are intense, as are your feelings.  You have the strength of your convictions at all times, but rather than force them on others, will convince them to see things your way because of your inherent enthusiasm.  You are a lover of life, and life, in turn, loves you back!

 

 

Moon square Jupiter  (Strength:  2.62)

 

(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.

 

 

Mars inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  2.30)

 

(The Antagonist)

 

Your enthusiasm is unquestioned.  Though you believe in what you’re doing, you want it all “yesterday,” and your attention span is short.  Because you respond quickly, you expect others to do so, so may push too hard.  You are bound to challenge those who argue a point or do not agree at once.  An enormous ego will not let you back down easily.  You may wish the best for all, but will end up with foes instead of friends if you choose not to modify your demands.

 

 

Venus sextile Uranus  (Strength:  1.47)

 

(The Multi-faceted)

 

You are constantly developing new sides to your personality, which makes it easy to fit into any group.  You are productively creative and may show an unusual interest in astrology, but lack the discipline necessary to study the basic knowledge necessary to use it as a skill.  Relationships may be difficult because of your desire for freedom as an individual.  Each new partner offers the variety you crave and revolutionizes your life by enhancing your understanding.

 

 

Sun sextile Mars  (Strength:  1.24)

 

(The Expeditor)

 

Use your energies to accomplish your tasks in the most judicious manner.  You are not likely to go unnoticed.  Your object will be the successful completion of anything you undertake rather than satisfaction of your ego, so you work well with others and make use of their input.  Your self-confidence inspires respect of your judgment.  Should you find resistance, you will overcome it with logic and prudence rather than aggressiveness and domination.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.11)

 

(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 sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.02)

 

(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.

 

 

Sun conjunct North Node  (Strength:  0.94)

 

(The Impelled)

 

You feel your life has definite purpose.  If you do not know what is expected, you should look for signs to guide you.  You must overcome negative traits that are very personal, if you are to succeed.  Important relationships may hold keys when you question your resolve, but partners cannot do your work for you.  Sometimes you must accept criticism, whether or not you feel it is deserved, but the rewards of completion make your sacrifices and your life well-worthwhile.

 

 

Sun sextile Pluto  (Strength:  0.39)

 

(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.

 

 

Mercury trine Neptune  (Strength:  0.12)

 

(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 i

n your sympathetic nature.

 

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.

 

 

Abundant Earth

 

You are in touch with the real world.  More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way.  Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age.  Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well.  You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them.  Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types.  You know how to establish a pace and keep it.

 

Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here — to which others may be more sensitive than you.  Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched.  Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve.  You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull.  If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn’t everything and try to be more spontaneous.  Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).

 

 

Lack of Air

 

Expressing yourself does not come easily to you.  You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers.  It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking.  If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked.  Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational.  With the mind’s normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience.  Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.

 

Try to see life less personally, in a more objective way.  Take classes and never stop educating yourself.

 

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

 

 

Lack of Fire

 

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way.  You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership.  You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive.  Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

 

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

 

 

Abundant Substance

 

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

 

 

Lack of Life

 

You could have difficulty envisioning or planning for the future.  You are likely to accept the status quo, living in the past and present, but not actively striving to create the future.  Lacking your own passionate goals, you are more likely to be a follower than a leader.
