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 Scorpio

 

(The Warrior)

 

Your ability to attract is so powerful that you can bring about almost anything you wish — and some things that you would rather evade.  Your emotions are intense and close to the surface.  You project them into your manner, and when you speak it is usually with authority so that others are compelled to listen.  You are self-reliant and would rather fight your battles alone with the confidence you will emerge as victor.  You are as determined in love as you are in conflicts, but few understand the intensity of your dominant nature or have a desire to endure your possessiveness.

 

 

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 Sagittarius

 

(The Escape-artist)

 

Your interests are so varied that it is hard for you to be content with “one” of anything.  You love to travel, so may have two places you call “home.”  You need challenge and are easily bored, so can hold two jobs at the same time.  You are capable of loving more than one person, also, and will devise excuses to delay a commitment.  If you do settle down, your partner must accept your continued need for freedom and your sometimes-careless handling of money!

 

 

Mars in Leo

 

(The Grandee)

 

You recognize your potential and will find creative ways of enlisting the aid of those who can promote your success. If there is risk involved in your rise, you will enjoy the adventure, but may suffer the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.”  You share your victories, but conceit can cost you needed support.  You may also be too quick to invite love affairs which go nowhere, but will waste your time and damage your ego.  Take your time.  You deserve the best.

 

 

Jupiter in Virgo

 

(The Hopeful)

 

Flashes of optimism will ease your concerns with yourself, allow you to relax, and overcome feelings of apprehension.  By being “yourself,” others can admire your fine qualities of intelligence, insight and practicality.  During those periods you may receive the advances you’ve desired, but were too conservative to promote.

 

 

Saturn in Virgo

 

(The Precisionist)

 

It is hard for others to live up to your exacting standards.  Your sense of duty keeps you at your job tidying up details with or without financial rewards.  You are as critical of yourself as you are of others.  Justifying your actions by admitting your own shortcomings will not bring you the companionship you lack.  Try to overcome your tendency to look on the dark side and come into the light where your keen mind and unexcelled discipline can be appreciated.

 

 

Uranus in Scorpio

 

(The Indomitable)

 

You are certain to achieve your goals, if willpower is the deciding issue.  But, choose a proper path or your destructive qualities will turn on you with catastrophic results.  Exercise caution when handling electricity or mechanical devices.  You have amazing recuperative powers, but can’t depend on them if you insist on challenging disaster. Your passionate nature instills instant confidence.  No one can doubt that you will complete anything you begin.

 

 

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 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.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Sun conjunct Mercury  (Strength:  5.38)

 

(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.

 

 

Venus conjunct Neptune  (Strength:  5.34)

 

(The Gentle)

 

You have strong instincts to sidestep sordid situations, but may be so idealistic it is impossible to realize the state of perfection you insist on as truth.  Beware of a savior-victim complex in which you are self-appointed caretaker of those unwilling to return your kindness, or of taking a role of “martyr” at the expense of another’s self-reliance. Reinforce your own self-esteem by including yourself in your philosophy of “Malice towards none and charity for all.”

 

 

Moon conjunct Uranus  (Strength:  5.09)

 

(The Hasty)

 

Your actions do not always meet with the approval of others, but that will seldom curb your desire to express as a unique individual.  You act on impulse and take criticism of your whims as personal rejection.  Try to develop discipline and concentration necessary to put your innovative potential to work for you in a productive manner.  Otherwise, your brashness can prod you to begin more projects than you finish, leaving you “a jack of all trades and a master of none.”

 

 

Mercury square Mars  (Strength:  4.38)

 

(The Challenger)

 

Life is apt to be your private arena, as if you had something to prove every day of your life and are determined that others take notice.  You may display an irritability that puts others off or you may have to contend with those who make “getting your goat” a career.  In either case, a change of attitude will work wonders.  If you can’t manage your temper, try channeling it into some physical form to vent your pique and calm down until you are in control of your feelings.

 

 

Sun conjunct Moon  (Strength:  3.98)

 

(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.

 

 

Sun square Mars  (Strength:  3.76)

 

(The Outraged)

 

It is difficult for you to see a need for concession.  You have no patience with another’s input when you are confident you are right.  You may work harder than others and your ego demands you receive full credit.  If denied or opposed, your fiery reactions may eclipse the rewards you have earned.  By learning that compromise is the blending of positive energies, you employ the wisdom of a respected master instead of the mandates of a tyrant welcomed by none.

 

 

Moon sextile Saturn  (Strength:  3.54)

 

(The Judicious)

 

You are careful with your feelings and emotions and therefore have great control over your interaction with others.  You may seem older and wiser than your years because of your preference for conservatism and your respect for tradition.  You prefer the company of older people, and if you need advice will look to someone well-versed and substantial for counsel.  However, you are secure within yourself and justly proud of your independence and self-sufficiency.

 

 

Sun sextile Saturn  (Strength:  3.44)

 

(The Laborer)

 

Once others learn of your dependability, you will be in demand as a serious worker.  It may take you longer to gather the knowledge you need or to complete a job, but you seldom make mistakes and are meticulous in completing your tasks, no matter how tedious the assignment.  The same is true of your personal development, but narrowness is a flaw in your otherwise commendable qualities.  Develop tolerance for those who may not have your patience to persevere.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  2.79)

 

(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.”

 

 

Moon conjunct Mercury  (Strength:  2.36)

 

(The Vacillator)

 

It is difficult for you to make a lasting decision.  You may change your mind suddenly and often after having “second thoughts.”  You are apt to act emotionally and are influenced by mood swings rather than logic.  At times, you are overwhelmed by inconsequential ideas that have no bearing on problems of the moment.  But, you are able to express your feelings readily and can ask for good advice to help you follow through successfully on matters of importance.

 

 

Venus sextile Pluto  (Strength:  2.13)

 

(The Enhancer)

 

You value friends who inspire you to improve your status in life and will make necessary changes to please them.  You continually experience dramatic periods of regeneration through interactions with others.  An intensity of purpose motivates you to always be your personal best.  You use your image to attract those you most desire.  Time or monies invested do not matter if the results are apparent.

 

 

Sun conjunct Uranus  (Strength:  2.07)

 

(The Precarious)

 

You are constantly trying to express as an individual, sometimes before you are entitled to an opinion.  Others may regard you as “disruptive” rather than “unique,” and a “rebel” rather than an “innovator.”  But, some admire your liveliness, which serves to keep your life and the lives of others from the ruts of boredom.  Like Ben Franklin, you must harness the electricity you generate without allowing it to destroy you in the process.

 

Jupiter conjunct North Node  (Strength:  2.02)

 

(The Jovial)

 

You make an indelible imprint upon your friends with your optimism, generosity and compassionate nature.  Your love of a good time and tendency to be immoderate can emphasize the negative side of your character.  You may gamble impulsively instead of taking a calculated risk or fail to listen to good advice because of your pride or vanity.  Even then, you will attract those who are drawn to the warmth of your disposition and the kind intent that motivates your good works.

 

Mars conjunct North Node  (Strength:  1.65)

 

(The Champion)

 

Others willingly follow your lead and believe in you because you radiate confidence.  You are free with your advice and firm in your decisions.  You enjoy helping the “underdog,” and revel in recognition for your achievements.  You can be intolerant and take criticism badly, if at all.  Your aggressive outlook can draw the respect you enjoy or label you as a bully.  The choices you make determine your success. Once the die is cast, there is no turning back.

 

Mercury sextile Saturn  (Strength:  0.81)

 

(The Politic)

 

Your good judgment and a sense of reality keeps you in balance with your needs and how best to improve qualities of decency and decorum in yourself and others.  You are an exacting teacher with a good foundation in which experience, as well as classroom lessons plays a major part.  You have practical advice for those who ask your help.  Still, you can feel lonely if you restrict friendships to business.  Allow time for relaxation and the self-indulgence you deserve.

 

Moon square Mars  (Strength:  0.74)

 

(The Threatened)

 

You are sensitive in the extreme and may fly off the handle irrationally.  Anxieties can obscure your ability to concentrate, and make you accident-prone, so extra effort towards developing a conscious awareness is advisable.  If you are a victim of insecurities, look for counseling or ways to quiet your fears that will establish a bulwark similar to that of followers of Zen Buddhism.  Retreat within to a place of tranquility until control is established and peace restored.

 

Saturn sextile Uranus  (Strength:  0.64)

 

(The Offset)

 

You manage a balance between the conventional and the innovative to pursue your own methods of accomplishing your aims.  Because you understand equal value in both sides of a coin, you employ the patience required to set foundations under new platforms for structures of lasting value.  You may also adopt unusual concepts as an intricate part of your lifestyle, so again achieve a harmony of creativity and established ideas with a high rate of acceptance by others.

 

Saturn square Neptune  (Strength:  0.36)

 

(The Troubled)

 

You take yourself seriously and often compound your problems by assuming sole blame.  You may be pessimistically blind in your outlook and cry “Why me?” instead of opening your eyes to practical and available answers.  Learn to appreciate what you have, beginning with yourself.  Try to use selflessness in helping others, or counsel with someone to raise your self-esteem to the place where you are not easily overwhelmed, and count your blessings on a day-to-day basis.

 

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 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.
