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

 

 

Cancer Ascendant

 

(The Emotional)

 

You may have either a smoothly-round face or furrowed brows, which give you a “pinched” look, but one thing is unmistakable:  Your moods!  One moment you’re all sunshine, and the next, hiding behind mysterious clouds.  Perhaps you expect others to know what is “wrong”, but not everyone has your insightful gifts.  If you sulk too often or too long, you may lose your friends.  Try putting the feelings of others first.  You may even enjoy the respect it can earn you.

 

 

 

Sun in Sagittarius

 

(Keynote: I ASPIRE)

 

You are self-reliant, ambitious, optimistic and friendly.  You may also be sarcastic, self-indulgent, impatient and tactless.   Others may see you as irresponsible, and a capricious flirt.  The truth is you are acutely aware of human values and enjoy improving potential.  You relate well to children, animals and the environment, and find them all fascinating.  You avoid commitment, which you feel restricts your freedom to expand.  Your bluntness often disguises a compassionate heart, deserving of rewards for your generous contributions to our planet.

 

 

Sun in the Fifth House

 

(The Artist)

 

You’ll get the most out of every moment, because you devote your energy to things that will make you personally happy.  If you can involve others in your activities, you expect that you will double your pleasure.  Friends may think you impractical because you extend your “Good-time Charlie” philosophy into your work, often choosing a career in the arts which allows you freedom to indulge your bent for fantasy.  You prefer relationships that are “fun,” but your devil-may-care attitude may preclude settling into a committed partnership.  Your motto is:  “Do your best, but be yourself!”

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Moon in the Fourth House

 

(The Fledgling)

 

Early influences in the home, particularly that of the mother, will remain with you.  Negative input will cause you to harbor resentment against authority figures.   You have the ability to turn it into something positive as you grow in spirit.  If your childhood examples are positive, you will use them to guide yourself and others throughout your life.  This is the most impressionable placement in a natal chart for the moon and the lessons learned will never be forgotten.

 

 

Mercury in Sagittarius

 

(The Motivator)

 

You may use your quick mind and powers of speech to uplift and support.  You enjoy the role of entrepreneur, but resent being relied on for solutions to problems that are not yours, since their weight impedes your progress.  You can lack the resolve it takes to stay on course, or spread yourself too thin, trying to grasp too much at once.  Beware that yours is not a life of “too much, too soon” or your later years will be empty of the challenge you love.

 

 

Mercury in the Fifth House

 

(The Comedian)

 

Your lively imagination, appealing youthfulness and scintillating conversation make you the center of attention. If you choose a career in the theater, you’ll send a ripple of approving mirth through your audience the moment you step onto the stage.  You’re equally playful in love, so must choose a partner as independent as you who can tolerate an off-again-on-again romance.   Once settled, you CAN be as serious as anyone, but isn’t playing “Peter Pan” more fun?

 

 

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!

 

 

Venus in the Fifth House

 

(The Butterfly)

 

You possess fairy-gifts:  Beauty, popularity — even riches and fame, but they are as fickle as you, yourself, are capable of being.  Don’t take your charmed existence for granted. Make the most of your talents by applying them productively.  The lessons of your life may not be laughed off as easily as the jealousy you inevitably attract.  If you try, you will find yourself in the rags of disappointment, unknown to you when you were the Belle of the Ball!

 

 

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.

 

 

Mars in the Fifth House

 

(The Playmate)

 

You are openly affectionate.  Like an engaging puppy, you wheedle to get your way.  If an old slipper is torn in the process, you know you’ll be forgiven.  You shine in physical-contact sports.  Your many friends admire you, but relationships suffer because you change partners often. Discipline is a hard, but necessary task-master, if you are to grow beyond the child that is no longer charming, but becomes a foolish adult, clinging to childish ways.

 

 

Jupiter in Pisces

 

(The Benevolent)

 

No sacrifice is too great for you to make to help someone in need.  But, you are extremely impressionable, and must be careful not to absorb and experience the ills of others as your own.  Whether you receive the same compassion you give is immaterial.  You serve cheerfully and derive your greatest satisfaction from seeing the positive results of your efforts.

 

 

Jupiter in the Eighth House

 

(The Negotiator)

 

Because you have an understanding of how the world views you and act accordingly, you have numerous chances for beneficial growth.  People respect your opinion, trust your judgment, and will offer the financial or spiritual support you need.  You welcome self-improvement, so accept change with the grace and ease it often takes to be truly successful.

 

 

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.

 

 

Saturn in the Twelfth House

 

(The Shadow)

 

You may sense that “something” is following you–that things are left unfinished for you to complete.  It may be that you ARE responsible for some of your problems, but your attitude may account for much of your frustration.  Though you feel like isolating yourself, you are leaving a gap by doing so.  Fill it with a resolve to come out of yourself to view the world around you, as others see it.  It is indeed a beautiful place to live.

 

 

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.

 

 

Uranus in the Fourth House

 

(The Nomad)

 

You may be constantly on the move, change your home often, or be a disruptive force in the home.  Certainly, your home will be “different” in some manner. If you are instrumental in creating it, you will choose modern, innovative designs and decorations or select an unusual site to build upon.  Your environs will reflect your personality, and you may alter it as your consciousness changes.  In short, your home is an outward expression of your inner being.

 

 

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.

 

 

Neptune in the Fifth House

 

(The Romantic)

 

You tend to put people on pedestals, and expect more of them than they can deliver.  Your life is a soap-opera of your own creation from childhood, full of smiles and pathos.  If you could bottle or sell your dreams, or find a practical use for them, such as projecting them into a theatrical project, the world that “always loves a lover” would welcome your refreshing views.  Otherwise, you may face perpetual disappointment by refusing to accept reality.

 

 

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.

 

 

Pluto in the Third House

 

(The Dominator)

 

You regard life seriously, questioning yourself and others at every turn and disdaining the frailty of human existence.  Frivolity seems without value and your uncommon powers of concentration make you impervious to pleasurable distraction.  You may impose your will on co-workers and relatives; then criticize their inability  to cope.  If you are inflexible, you may build a wall that prevents sharing your life and become a prisoner of your own design.

 

 

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 Sagittarius

 

(The Fence Sitter)

 

You are afraid to make choices that may put you in the wrong.  Until you voice an opinion or convictions that are yours alone, you will not have earned the independence you desire.  Experience teaches that conflict often results from indifference.  Restore others’ confidence by repairing breaks in links of faith with the solder of concern and wisdom.

 

 

North Node in the Fifth House

 

(The Princess)

 

Like the lady in the tower, awaiting rescue, all you need do is open your eyes to see a staircase.  You prefer fantasies to the workaday world.  Learn what is real and of lasting value.  Acquire self-discipline to become a “doer.”   You have the power to make your dreams come true, but cannot expect them to manifest before taking your first steps into reality.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon trine Saturn  (Strength:  6.84)

 

(The Grounded)

 

You have a mature outlook and a knack of balancing needs and desires.  You permit yourself latitude to plan ahead and prepare yourself for success.  An image of what is worthwhile in relationships causes you to seriously examine potentials before involving yourself in commitment.  Your excellent discipline may appear as deprivation to others, but the durable results you achieve prove any personal sacrifice rewarding and suit your pragmatic lifestyle to a “T.”

 

 

Neptune conjunct North Node  (Strength:  5.99)

 

(The Imaginative)

 

You sometimes prefer the images you create to the real world.  You are seldom lonely, since you enjoy the playmates of your fancy.  You are spiritual in nature but may be fascinated by sects or cults which appeal to your dark side. Be mindful of your addictive personality, and aware that you can be led from materiality into impractical — even dangerous — ways that destroy your potential for developing the special, sensitive, creative person you are.

 

 

Jupiter square Neptune  (Strength:  5.38)

 

(The Converter)

 

Others may resist your attempts to better conditions through faith, hope and charity.  But, that will not destroy your belief that humanity merits improving.  You must prove yourself and your convictions if you are to win supporters of your compassionate causes.  Appearances can be deceiving.  Be sure that those who receive your generosity are worth your concern.  Your opponents may not always be aboveboard.  Try to discern who is really on your side and willing to help.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.62)

 

(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.”

 

 

Sun inconjunct Saturn  (Strength:  2.83)

 

(The Learner)

 

You, of all people, can profit from this usually self-defeating aspect, if only you make an effort to overcome your propensity for self-pity.  The attitude you project is all-important if you expect partners to support your ideas.  Your depressions can bring others down, too.  Concentrate on getting the inner self out of the way so you can contribute the practical results of lessons you have learned the hard way to a world in need of your innate qualities of practicality.

 

 

Mercury square Jupiter  (Strength:  2.51)

 

(The Racer)

 

You are entirely optimistic about your potential for the future and are in a hurry to be first with the most!  But, before you can make genuine progress, you must allow yourself time to grow and learn.  Otherwise, you may neglect essentials that can make or break your plans.  If impatient, you can deny yourself opportunities for travel or higher education that would assure not only your success, but the ability to keep your balance, once you have scaled the heights!

 

 

Sun conjunct Mercury  (Strength:  2.16)

 

(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.

 

 

Mercury conjunct North Node  (Strength:  1.91)

 

(The Hurdler)

 

You rush through life, but manage time to enjoy its pleasures.  Your spirit of adventure takes you traveling at a moment’s notice.  You make snap decisions and are amazingly accurate because you get to the heart of a subject without wasting time.  Your quick wit and sparkling dialogue make you popular, but you may acquire too many friends to focus on one. If you spread yourself too thin, you could invite serious nervous problems to spoil your fascinating life.

 

 

Mercury conjunct Neptune  (Strength:  1.90)

 

(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.

 

 

Jupiter inconjunct Pluto  (Strength:  1.89)

 

(The Moralizer)

 

You try to impress others that you know best.  Some will buy your extravagant promises of reform, and you may act as a guru or convert them to what you consider a superior way of thinking.  You cannot always afford to pay your way, and your excessiveness can prove costly to those who support you.  If you find it necessary to adopt a role of humility, consider that humility combined with learning is often valuable to produce the wisdom or balance you may still lack as a teacher.

 

 

Venus sextile Uranus  (Strength:  0.08)

 

(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.

 

 

 

 

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 Fire

 

You are an active, future-oriented person who is not weighed down by past commitments.  You take advantage of new opportunities better than most.  Life for you can be a vibrant affair in which you passionately pursue causes, lovers, and experiences.  You have the self-confidence to be a leader.  Competitive and flamboyant, you have little patience for slow people or unexciting work.  When an activity interests you, you can be very generous with your time, energy, and money.  Find outlets for your gifts of creativity and intuition.

 

Watch out for a tendency to exaggerate or to be insensitive to others’ feelings.  More cautious types may envy and resent your free spirit and competitive nature.  You get bored easily and may depend on others to finish the projects that you start.  When your warmth is guided by love, wisdom, and positive goals you have the ability to heal and inspire others, but when you focus on your self or lack direction, your short-lived passions can affect others in destructive ways.

 

 

Lack of Earth

 

You may be so focused on the “bigger picture” that you have difficulty managing the many details of life.  Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities.  Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them.  Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit.  If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it.  Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone.  You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it.  If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.

 

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

 

 

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.

 

 

Abundant Life

 

Abundant planets in the houses of life gives you both the energy and the urge to create the future.  By your activities, you make the world a better place. You may be somewhat self-centered, but with your crusading spirit you move the world towards the ideals that you envision.
