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 Capricorn

 

(Keynote: I UTILIZE)

 

You are ambitious, patient, responsible, and disciplined, but may also be haughty, rigid, stingy and gloomy.  You are determined to rise to the top of the heap and use every means at your disposal to get there.  You may compromise goals, but never principles.  Besides inherent faith in church and country, you revere your home and family.  You find it hard to forgive those who defy your edicts.  Pride is your downfall. You hunger for love, but will reject it if you feel unappreciated.  There are alternate ways to the top of the mountain you might explore, if just for the “fun” of it!

 

 

 

Moon in Aries

 

(The Enthusiast)

 

You are self-motivated and do not like to be told what to do, which can cause problems with parents and other authority figures.  Unruly when pushed, your temper tantrums are over as quickly as they begin.  Because you are impulsive, you take chances, which surprisingly pay off.  You may be “accident-prone” because of your lack of patience.  You are in a hurry to succeed and ignore warnings of danger.  You can be a “bully,” but are more apt to recruit others to join in your race, since you enjoy competition and leadership is second-nature to you.  It’s simply no fun to “go it alone!”

 

 

Mercury in Capricorn

 

(The Logician)

 

You are a strategist who employs systematic methods and are seldom upset, unless your plans are disturbed.  You communicate with others by getting right to the point with a minimum of wasted effort.  Others may consider you sober, self-righteous and too rigid to enjoy life, but what they think of as “rigid”, you believe to be structured, “sober” as merely serious, and “self-righteousness” is your pride in accomplishments that you have earned the hard way.

 

 

Venus in Capricorn

 

(The Austere)

 

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

 

 

Mars in Cancer

 

(The Pressure Cooker)

 

You will harbor resentments from childhood, and many of them stem from a rebellion against a mother-figure.  You may try to run away from imposed values with which you may not agree, but find you still have a need for the security of a home and family.  Discover early that you must earn the right to be your “own” person.  A certain amount of parental help is necessary as a fledgling discovers its wings.  Professional counseling may be advisable before you “blow your top!”

 

 

Jupiter in Libra

 

(The Goddess)

 

Use your fairy gifts of beauty, charm, and grace wisely.  Your artistic talents may bring you a prominent place in the public eye.  Partners are all-important.  You extend yourself to assure that you are worthy of them.  You may fulfill your dearest wish that the world will be a happier place and its citizens find contentment because you have walked among them.

 

 

Saturn in Cancer

 

(The Runner)

 

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

 

 

Uranus in Gemini

 

(The Clairvoyant)

 

Your facility to see clearly where others are perplexed separates you from the norm.  You may obtain an education in unorthodox ways, but have the ability to distinguish yourself in the field of science, perhaps in space technology.  Your “Buck Rogers” mentality will bring you some regard, but also can provoke criticism as being too eccentric to be practical. You may find a way to jar humanity from today’s complaisant rut and into the expansive future of tomorrow.

 

 

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 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

 

Moon square Venus  (Strength:  6.29)

 

(The Impassioned)

 

You are intent on romance, but may be too fervent to realize you are over-protective or possessive of your loved-one.  If you do not have a relationship, you will feel out of balance until you attract a partner, and will make every effort to do so.  Your feelings may stem from a parent-child affinity if you are sentimental about the marriage of your parents.  Be sure you are acting from real love more than sentiment or need if you consider entering a commitment.

 

 

Sun opposite Saturn  (Strength:  5.11)

 

(The Jinxed)

 

You may feel “unlucky” because you are engulfed by outside circumstances.  It is difficult for you to express your opinions or feelings to others who neither sympathize with nor understand you.  You are easily discouraged.  Use your inherent honesty to separate yourself from the idea that you are being “picked on.”  Communication is the key to relief from your depression.  You have many fine qualities and must find a way to put them across to your oppressors.

 

 

Mars square Jupiter  (Strength:  4.81)

 

(The Aggressive)

 

Your self-confidence and desire for expansion can tempt you to over-extend yourself or appear too assertive.  If you push instead of using persuasive powers or seem threatening to others, you may defeat your purpose.  Good generals employ well thought-out strategy with force and link diplomacy with surrender.  It is not in your nature to accept “second best.” You should carefully consider the feelings and acceptance of others when presenting your strategic campaigns.

 

 

Moon sextile Uranus  (Strength:  4.02)

 

(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 trine Pluto  (Strength:  3.02)

 

(The Evolvement)

 

You are not only willing, but anxious to grow and mature. You need to know “why” you have certain feelings and will search for ways to explore them.  You may pursue psychology, philosophy or elevate your spirit through intimate encounters with conscious-raising techniques which you can adopt as your own.  Once you find your niche, an obsessive nature can limit your development, or you may turn your discoveries to professional skills to share with others.

 

 

Mars conjunct Saturn  (Strength:  2.92)

 

(The Investor)

 

You are able to balance restraints of work loads and fulfill your obligations, but demand rewards for your untiring efforts.  Willing to earn, as well as pay your way, you are astute in making investments that are usually substantial and free of risk.  If frustrations are not given release, they can lead to extreme anger and result in an accident-prone syndrome by way of expression.  Know your limitations, and rejoice if you are a large frog in a small puddle.

 

 

Venus inconjunct Uranus  (Strength:  2.74)

 

(The Exotic)

 

You are drawn to unusual and sporadic love affairs.  You may indulge in sexual fantasies, which you may or may not put into action.  If the latter is true, you can pay a high price for your experiments in the form of social diseases.  As erratic as you are in love, you are likely to find unconventional ways to make money, but since your attention-span is short, you may find yourself drifting as a job-hopper without the patience to commit to one field of endeavor.

 

 

Sun square Moon  (Strength:  2.42)

 

(The Dualistic)

 

Your friends may see you as a “Jekyll and Hyde.”  Your emotions are close to the surface.  You can be ultra-sensitive and hard to get along with.  There is another side of you unlike the image you present.  Drama belongs in the theater, and needs a director to refine it.  Don’t be afraid to ask for help.  Your inner strength is more than equal to any test.  You can uncover a new source of power that you knew was there but have never allowed yourself to experience before.

 

 

Sun opposite Mars  (Strength:  2.03)

 

(The Appraiser)

 

You must not only know who you are and what you want, but should examine the values of others to bring your life into balance.  You need support, but seem to attract those with opposite views and will often find challenges to your ego.  Seriously consider whether your beliefs are worth fighting for, for you see differences as personal affronts.  Defend only what is really important to you.  “All roads lead to Rome”, and you may travel more than one to get there.

 

 

Jupiter square Saturn  (Strength:  1.73)

 

(The Wary)

 

You are much like the old song that complains: “You have a feeling that you wanna go — then, you wanna stay — but you gotta go!”  You have an urge to expand or break away from restrictions, but may be overly careful — as if you never feel you have what it takes to succeed, so are a perpetual student instead of a graduate in the school of life.  You may set modest goals, unworthy of your higher potential.  Faith in yourself will prepare you for the success you can achieve.

 

 

Sun conjunct Venus  (Strength:  1.71)

 

(The Socialite)

 

You are refined and cultured with a love of the arts and beautiful things.  Because a day without fun is depressing, you make yourself attractive and available and are usually where something entertaining is going on.  You can become self-indulgent and conceited, believing money and looks will take you farther than is reasonable, but when you see that “Pretty is as Pretty does,” will try to develop inner qualities to complement the glamorous image you project.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.52)

 

(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.”

 

Uranus sextile Pluto  (Strength:  0.99)

 

(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.”

 

Sun square Jupiter  (Strength:  0.85)

 

(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 opposite Neptune  (Strength:  0.54)

 

(The Oblivious)

 

You may be so preoccupied with your thoughts that you allow life to pass you by.  If plans don’t materialize as you wish, you may devise a solution or an “escape” that has nothing to do with your problems.  You may attract those who take advantage, or may practice deceits yourself, so that others cannot trust you.  Try for counseling to establish basic values that are practical.  You can employ your agile mind in a beneficial manner with the proper guidance.

 

Moon square Saturn  (Strength:  0.54)

 

(The Lonely)

 

You may be depressed because you feel isolated and take the blame for your plight, but not know how to solve the problem. “Burying” yourself in work or other distractions is not going to satisfy you.  Relationships often mean chancing rejection, but if you hesitate to brave a possible loss of pride, you will also deny an opportunity for fulfillment.  By repressing feelings, you may find that you are denying expressions which can then emerge in a destructive way.

 

Uranus trine Neptune  (Strength:  0.52)

 

(Excelsior!)

 

Your views may be unconventional by ordinary standards, but you will continue to search for “Truth.”  You will honor the beliefs of others, and have great compassion for those who can benefit by your understanding.  In turn, you learn the practicality of living your life at a human level, while continuing to strive for enlightenment of spirit.  Your idealistic aims can find fulfillment, as you continue to embrace higher values and inspire your corner of the universe.

 

Venus square Neptune  (Strength:  0.25)

 

(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 e

fforts, if you turn your energy into developing them.

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

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 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.

 

 

Abundant Cardinal

 

With an abundance of planets in the Cardinal signs, you find it easy to function on your own as an autonomous individual.  You have a pretty good grasp of how the real world works, which you may have acquired through your willingness to try new things.  An active person, you find challenges stimulating.  Success comes through big ventures that others are too intimidated to attempt.  You would make a good entrepreneur, but look for other indications in your chart to see if you have the qualities needed to stay with a project or grow a business.  You’re not really a team player.  You are likely to encounter some problems in your life as a result of being so one-sidedly focused on your own goals and activities.  But you are good at overcoming problems.  Personal survival is important to you and you are capable of learning.  You manifest your love through a lack of fear that makes the future happen.
