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 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.

 

 

 

Moon in Taurus

 

(The Conservative)

 

Your emotions are stable, giving you a positive outlook and a belief that you are responsible for your own happiness.  You are ambitiously-materialistic and like to associate with successful people.  You have a good rapport with most women.  You probably have a pleasant speaking or singing voice, which you may utilize in a career, but must be careful of infections or tensions which can produce serious throat problems.  This is particularly true if you encounter rebuffs, since you tend to be possessive and do not take rejection well.  You may express suppressed frustrations on a physical plane.

 

 

Mercury in Libra

 

(The Moderator)

 

You are a born diplomat, so can usually sugar-coat even a bitter pill to make it palatable.  Because you see all sides of a question, you often have trouble making up your mind as to what is “fair.”  Look for a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and will inspire you to use your gift of writing.  Though your work may not be commercial, it will give you the pleasure of creating something beautiful to share with those who appreciate your efforts.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

Jupiter in Taurus

 

(The Show-off)

 

You can be too extravagant because of your love of luxury, but if you choose to spend your hard-earned money, who’s to say it’s not your privilege?  You can be too aggressive in getting what you want and too stubborn to change your mind after you get it.  Again, since you are a super-achiever, who can criticize you for doing things your way?

 

 

Saturn in Libra

 

(The Disillusioned)

 

Your dreams of a perfect partner may shatter more than once, but you will not give up trying.  Somehow, though you possess fine qualities, you don’t seem to attract the right people to appreciate them.  It is difficult for others to accept your high ideals and you to compromise them.  However, though you may feel lonely at times, you will grow to appreciate yourself as someone who can overcome personal unhappiness by helping others profit by your experience.

 

 

Uranus in Cancer

 

(The Whimsical)

 

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

 

 

Neptune in Libra

 

(The Influenced)

 

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

 

 

Pluto in Leo

 

(The Agitated)

 

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

 

 

North Node in Aquarius

 

(The Arrogant)

 

You demand center stage, but are disappointed if there is little applause for your flamboyant performance.  As a member of the audience, you must cheer others for their efforts. With a dual perspective, you may realize that you are part of a larger design, devoid of ego or self-aggrandizement. Release your humanitarian instincts to enjoy the Big Show.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon square Pluto  (Strength:  6.86)

 

(The Durable)

 

Constant challenges for change control your deepest feelings because your emotional turbulence can be destructive. Power struggles with others indicate power struggles within yourself which must be brought to light for resolution. Sometimes you will be attracted to that which is absolutely wrong for you but will pursue it anyway to your detriment. Recognize your difficulties as opportunities for evolvement.  You have more than adequate fortitude to survive and benefit.

 

 

Mercury conjunct Neptune  (Strength:  5.21)

 

(The Fanciful)

 

Your wonderful imagination can inspire you to investigate your higher self or explore the mysteries to acquire an understanding of the deeper meanings of the occult.  However, you may have difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality which can make relationships and your goals uncertain.  At times, your confusion may be so great that you will question your reason for being, but if rationale fails to satisfy you, turn inward for answers inherently and uniquely yours.

 

 

Saturn square Uranus  (Strength:  4.98)

 

(The Earthquake)

 

You are liable to experience unusual upsets from “left field” that jar your security from time to time.  If you are bound by established, but inflexible customs, you will resist changes that accompany these events and be devastated by their effects.  Consider your growth and whether something may be gained by experimenting with new feelings, thoughts and actions to enlarge your scope.  If you choose to make a change, do so at the next opportunity to expand your horizons.

 

 

Moon conjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  4.24)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon inconjunct Mercury  (Strength:  3.36)

 

(The Gossip)

 

Your constant chatter is actually an expression of your over- active mind.  You are often the victim of the famous “Foot in mouth” problem, since you seldom plan what to say or see who may be listening.  You are easily distracted, and may settle for thinking up a project, rather than completing it.  Consider periods of meditation to calm your senses and allow you to learn the art of concentration, whereby some of your very valid ideas might be followed to fulfillment.

 

 

Uranus square Neptune  (Strength:  3.24)

 

(The Elusive)

 

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

 

 

Mercury sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.22)

 

(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.

 

 

Jupiter square Pluto  (Strength:  3.11)

 

(The Despot)

 

You are almost certain to evoke the criticism of others and run into power plays because they feel threatened by your obsession with success.  If you are sure of your ground, you will defend your principles and convictions with all your might, but must first discern if you are right and can prove yourself and your ideals to all parties.  If you wish to lead others and gain their respect, you must examine yourself thoroughly to determine if you are above reproach.

 

 

Sun conjunct Saturn  (Strength:  2.81)

 

(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.

 

 

Mars trine Pluto  (Strength:  2.75)

 

(The Renewer)

 

As an instrument in the progress of mankind, you may taste fame, and even fortune, depending on where and how you direct your powerful energies.  If you know yourself well, you can identify with the needs of others and use your formidable drive to benefit society as a leader.  If motivated by selfishness, you may receive some satisfaction from personal gain but will sacrifice the true distinction of contributing to the universe on the altar of prideful self-esteem.

 

 

Moon inconjunct Neptune  (Strength:  2.57)

 

(The Impractical)

 

You should sort things out with an eye to the future, instead of accepting whatever works at the moment.  Extremely sensitive, you are also an escapist and must watch what you ingest as panaceas, to avoid serious illness or addiction to hallucinatory substances.  Improper diet can contribute to digestive problems.  You dislike restriction, but must try to believe in yourself and apply necessary self-discipline to overcome your confusion and prove your reliability and worth.

 

 

Jupiter sextile Uranus  (Strength:  2.56)

 

(The Timely)

 

You are usually on the scene when opportunities are presented and prepared to take advantage.  It is almost as though you expect the unexpected, rather than receiving the “lucky breaks” that others envy.  You complement being “on your toes” with willingness to learn something new and “different” when the occasion arises.  Your intuition may cue you to act on possibilities which allow you to grow and expand at your own pace with the confidence to succeed.

 

Mercury square Uranus  (Strength:  2.45)

 

(The Pressured)

 

You seem constantly “under the gun” to produce creative ideas associated with your quick and innovative mind.  You may be clear as to your intent, but too original for others to accept your proposals.  You long to get away from it all but travel can be stressful because of unexpected delays and interruptions.  Try to scale your concepts so that others can understand them.  Experience will prove what is acceptable or so radical that it must be shelved for another time.

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  2.43)

 

(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.”

 

Saturn conjunct Neptune  (Strength:  2.22)

 

(The Anxious)

 

Your task is to define reality as opposed to “feelings” or the confusion that often results from self-doubt.  It may seem easier to believe in Murphy’s Law: “If things are bad, they’re bound to get worse.”  (Or, if you prepare for disappointment, it is no surprise when it comes.)  Negativity can be overcome.  You have a good grasp on what works for you; the imagination to turn a sow’s ear inside out, find the silk purse inside and create practical ways to market it.

 

Sun square Uranus  (Strength:  1.79)

 

(The Daredevil)

 

You are courageous, but may also be rebellious and reckless.  If expecting the unexpected appeals to you, your life should be as thrilling and exciting as you could wish. But, if you try to sail a smooth sea, you may invite upsets that continually disturb your plans.  Changes may damage your originality, if you plunge headlong into the unknown, but upon examination may provide you with the means to mold your life-direction until it accommodates your special cast.

 

Jupiter inconjunct Neptune  (Strength:  1.68)

 

(The Kidder)

 

You may have high values, but misuse them by convincing others that you are of a superior nature.  If you blame your shortcomings on your inability to live up to ideals, you are fooling yourself and setting a crippling precedent.  Worst of all, you may talk yourself into believing that unless life is spiritual, it is worthless.  You, above all, should realize that being true to yourself is part of fulfilling the higher potential, with which we are all born.

 

Mercury conjunct Saturn  (Strength:  1.44)

 

(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.

 

Mercury inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  0.89)

 

(The Blind-spot)

 

You may be so intent on impressing others with your grandiose ideas that you fail to see your own shortcomings.  If you preach philosophical concepts, be sure that you adhere to the rules you set for others.  Or, you may be easily flattered and led to attempt more than you can handle.  It is unlikely that you will over-do periods of self-examination, or deal harshly with your faults.  Take an inward look before embarking on the outward leap that may lead to your downfall.

 

Moon sextile Uranus  (Strength:  0.81)

 

(The Emancipated)

 

You enjoy change and thrive on excitement.  Your friends mirror your stimulating energy.  You are interested in subjects you can absorb quickly, or peripherally, if they require much concentration.  Opportunities may appear unexpectedly.  If they stir your imagination, you sometimes accept them because of intuitive nudges that come and go. Some might say you live life in the “fast” lane, but to you, an unscheduled spin is what makes the world go ’round.

 

Moon inconjunct Mars  (Strength:  0.62)

 

(The Irrepressible)

 

Your impulsiveness stems from ego-based energy seeking an outlet.  Likewise, though you may quickly recover from outbursts of temper, you may be unable to repair damage done during uncontrolled tirades.  Your work will suffer if you fail to complete any projects that do not offer quick resolve. Your impatient nature destroys your balance.  You must find a productive manner of expression or may turn frustrated ambitions against yourself, to your own physical detriment.

 

Jupiter inconjunct Saturn  (Strength:  0.55)

 

(The Waverer)

 

Unwillingness to accept half-way measures may result in ambivalence.  You tend to blow “hot or cold,” and be overboard or strictly reserved in opinions and actions.  Others are unsure of your intentions.  You may also experience extremes in the way others treat you.  Being too set in your ways can result in holdups or stoppage of your best-laid plans, or you may act in haste and have second-thoughts too late to rectify your r

ecklessness.  Walk a middle-road to achieve success.

 

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.

 

 

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 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.
