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

 

 

Aries Ascendant

 

(The Unswerving)

 

Your direct approach and military bearing are evident.  Your gaze is direct and you can use it to express the power you hold.  Physically, you give an appearance of strength and purpose with a determination to succeed at all costs.  It is difficult for you to hide anger, since your usually-soft eyes take on a steely-look and your complexion becomes beet-red. You pride yourself in meeting life “head on,” but must remember to avoid unnecessary collisions.

 

 

 

Sun in Gemini

 

(Keynote:  I THINK)

 

You are idealistic, witty, charming, inventive and active, as well as being undependable, nervous, restless and fragmented.  Your curious mind leaves few stones unturned, for you love to explore.  You are able to teach others what you have learned, and often improved upon.  Your unpredictability and uncanny intuition stimulates the imagination of your friends; you enjoy the stir you create in social settings.  You lose chances by trading commitment for superficiality. Your flexibility should allow you to choose any partner and turn the thrill of a moment into a lifetime of significance.

 

 

Sun in the Second House

 

(The Aspirant)

 

Your focus is on your ability to earn and learn.  It is not that you value money above all else, but resources will always be important to you and represent your basic security. You may set standards early and be on the lookout for ways to improve your station.  Your idea of success is to set a goal, achieve it, and then set a new goal a little higher than the first.  Who can blame you if you take pride in showing what you have accomplished through your hard work?  Many a philanthropist has received satisfaction by donating his treasures for public display, that others may enjoy them.

 

 

 

Moon in Pisces

 

(The Wishful)

 

You go with your emotions and change your desires from moment to moment, but are always hopeful for the future.  You are sensitive and easily discouraged by rebuffs; your potent imagination makes you susceptible to imagined hurts and slights.  You may adopt food or fantasies as a panacea for disappointments in the love and understanding that are as important to you as breathing.  Look for solid ground on which to stand.  You can build a life that is productive and pleasurable by giving your artistic talents commercial expression to bolster your ego as well as your purse.

 

 

Moon in the Twelfth House

 

(The Isolationist)

 

You may be plagued by psychological problems originating with a mother-figure. You are hard on yourself and assume an oppressive responsibility for self-analysis because it is difficult for others to draw you out.  Your friends will not understand your moods nor the fact that you need to call upon restorative powers provided only by seclusion.  Depend on spiritual trust and your strong intuition to reveal what is demanded of you and how best to make payment.

 

 

Mercury in Gemini

 

(The Versatile)

 

Your geniality plus a sense-of-humor contributes to social graces that make you a welcome addition to any group.  Your lack of patience encourages you to store trivia instead of knowledge, while limited concentration makes you an uncertain student.  You usually accept people at face value; since you are more interested in quantity rather than the quality of companions, you enjoy changing relationships often, but pride yourself on “never losing a friend.”

 

 

Mercury in the Third House

 

(The Student)

 

Little escapes your notice.  Your acute awareness, coupled with intuitive flashes, gives you an instant rapport with those you contact.  You have a lively imagination, and an interest in education and love of words fits you for a career in journalism or some type of public communication.  Try not to let restlessness or impatience dilute your ability to present all sides of a picture in honest reporting, which is the stuff from which history is documented.

 

 

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 Fourth House

 

(The Peacemaker)

 

You express your desire for tranquility through the beauty you create.  Your home will reflect your excellent taste, but you tend to extravagance.  You have a talent to transform your surroundings, no matter how humble they seem.  If you choose a career in gardening, decorating, or caring for beautiful things, it will pay you well as you continue to demonstrate your special abilities to a sometimes-dreary world.

 

 

Mars in Capricorn

 

(The Enduring)

 

Your life is geared for success.  Even your close relationships can be exploited to advantage.  You are selective in your goals and methods to achieve them.  Your intuition and ambition work together to overcome obstacles that would defeat one with less fortitude.  You often burden yourself with the problems of others, viewing each as a learning experience.  You may receive your rewards late in life, but are sure to be honored for your hard work.

 

 

Mars in the Tenth House

 

(The Climber)

 

You are determined to reach the top through your own efforts, and are probably capable of doing so.  Almost nothing can stop you, once you set your course, and you will attract admirers to assist your efforts.  Because of your strong ego-drive, you may also invite power plays with authority figures.  A careful look at who you are dealing with and an examination of different views can resolve conflicts and forestall what may be irreparable damage to your dreams of glory.

 

 

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 Twelfth House

 

(The Good Samaritan)

 

You enjoy doing good works anonymously and receive pleasure from knowledge that you benefit others.  You may choose programs of institutional reform or a career in medicine to indulge your charitable work.  Through acts of mercy, you feed your soul and will find numerous ways to swell your spirit.

 

 

Saturn in Sagittarius

 

(The Persuader)

 

You have the ability to influence others to join a crusade; as long as you adhere to your high principles, they will admire and probably follow you without question. However, you must be prepared to encounter those who disagree with your beliefs and oppose you.  Carefully guard your words and actions because they can be held against you.  The flames you ignite may become a holocaust out of your control.

 

 

Saturn in the Eighth House

 

(The Executor)

 

Money and the resources of others will always be important to you.  You may experience financial hardships, so will learn early to stand on your own two feet and to build your foundations carefully. You have a healthy respect for money and may be asked to handle funds for others.  While people respect your judgment, it is essential that you learn to integrate their wishes in your decisions without surrendering your identity in the process.

 

 

Uranus in Sagittarius

 

(The Diviner)

 

You are amazingly accurate in forecasting events or circumstances that come about.  You have a good grasp of logic, so are unlikely to exceed your gifts, but use them to research areas that may contribute to the future of mankind. You are unconventional in your beliefs, fearless in your concepts, and may adopt philosophy rather than religion as a guideline.  You should introduce prudence into your restless nature to create wisdom you may share with others.

 

 

Uranus in the Ninth House

 

(The Explorer)

 

The world is your playground.  You may study abroad, have a facility for languages and are influenced by the cultures you touch.   However, your interests may be scattered, rather than diversified, and if you take on too much, your health and ability to follow through may suffer.  Set definite goals, channel your energies, and like Marco Polo, you can contribute your most exotic and useful discoveries to mankind, bringing civilizations closer together.

 

 

Neptune in Capricorn

 

(The Mogul)

 

No matter what you put your hand to, it seems to come up gold.  This is no accident, but the result of keen insight, careful planning, and the persistence to ride over rough times and wait until fortune smiles.  You’re sometimes observed as a barometer for the stock market.  Even obscure plans take shape under your direction.  When you trust someone, you take his shortcomings as your own.  If betrayed, your confidence can only be rebuilt by time and testing.

 

 

Neptune in the Ninth House

 

(The Priest)

 

You are highly conscious of the spiritual side of life and may feel you are “called” to take your place as a theologian.  You need not become a minister in the orthodox sense, but can adopt and employ valuable philosophies.  Don’t be impatient to achieve your goals.  Allow opportunities to emerge as you grow in faith.  Recognize that the price of higher knowledge is often one of self-sacrifice that does not admit the ego as a constructive energy.

 

 

Pluto in Scorpio

 

(The Regenerator)

 

You are a believer in second chances, but a tendency to hold fast to everything past the time of practicality weakens your effectiveness to accept new opportunity.  You are always stronger because of the wisdom gained in past experiences.  On a world-scale, you can offer the proof of your convictions that there is much that may be salvaged for renewal, rather than a stubborn determination to do things your way at the expense of the greater good.

 

 

Pluto in the Seventh House

 

(The Autocrat)

 

You can expect to receive in kind whatever you devise, but may bite off more than you can chew.  In all partnerships you assume you will set the rules, but may find others have their own ideas and expect you to consider them.  If there are conflicts, you may face actions that are far from above-board, but if you are fair in your demands, you need not provoke destructive consequences.  You can use the powerful energies you project to strengthen your ties.

 

 

Capricorn Midheaven

 

You should find a career that takes advantage of your organizational ability.  You work pragmatically and consistently, and pay attention to the little things that make a difference.  You are very responsible in your career, displaying a high sense of duty.  You are ambitious, but are willing to carry a large share of the load on your way to the top.  Furthermore, you are not just a maintainer of the status quo or a reactor to events, but see in a clear-eyed way what needs to be done and will initiate action on your own.

 

Your choice of career typically displays an acknowledgement of financial and material realities.  It may not be flashy, but it is secure and worthwhile.  During your life, your patience may be tested by periods of loneliness, poor health, hard work, poverty, or problems with your marriage, children or aged dependents.  You may feel that your road has been a lonely one without much assistance.  If you give way to melancholy, you may become passive about your lot and suspiciously distrustful even of your friends.  Alternately, stress can cause you to become cynical and ruthless.  However, your greatest success will come in those areas where through long, hard work you complete tasks that others do not even attempt.

 

Occupations consistent with your material, ambitious style of work include executive, builder, real estate or agriculture worker, stockbroker, administrator, civil servant, computer scientist, academic, engineer, photographer, doctor, biologist, chemist, miner, metallurgist, or prolific author .  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 Saturn, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Aries

 

(The Uncertain)

 

You project confidence, but are plagued with doubt that you can produce all that you promise.  You dislike calling others for assistance because it means exposing your soft underbelly.  When you learn you have many supporters waiting to follow your lead, you may discover that “your own person” is the “you” you wanted to be all along.

 

 

North Node in the First House

 

(The Individual)

 

You accomplish most when you “do it yourself,” but this does not mean you are capable of miracles.  First, you must know who you are and what you want; then how to make your plans work for you.  You may be tempted to lean on others, but that will only weaken your ability.  Refine your skills and learn to enjoy challenges, because your success-ratio is high.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon conjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  6.94)

 

(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 square Mercury  (Strength:  6.55)

 

(The Misunderstood)

 

You can encounter considerable frustration in getting your point across.  It is not that others are ignorant, but that you are too emotionally involved with what you are trying to say to use a logical approach.  If you express your feelings, it may be a good way to relieve tension and invite new insight to “clear the air.”  It is not necessarily compromise but mutual rapport that often resolves any lack of communication that exists between you and your opposition.

 

 

Moon square Uranus  (Strength:  6.33)

 

(The Dissenter)

 

You are likely to go against the crowd.  In a way, this is expressing your individuality, but you can gain a reputation for being “difficult” instead of “liberated.” An inherent restlessness may spur you to take chances just to see what will “happen” to relationships if you jar their foundations.  On the other hand, you may suddenly feel your needs are not in synch with partners and will look for unusual ways of cementing or dissolving commitments.

 

 

Mercury square Jupiter  (Strength:  5.61)

 

(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!

 

 

Jupiter square Uranus  (Strength:  5.27)

 

(The Obstacles)

 

Disruptions may suddenly crop up to spoil your best-laid plans.  Allowing a margin for error is not likely to resolve dilemmas as your stumbling blocks are usually from “left field” and are not only unexpected, but of a different nature than is readily anticipated.  Despite this, you have the confidence and optimism to pursue your goals.  Because of the uniqueness of your deterrents, you will, of necessity, find innovative solutions to resolve your problems.

 

 

Mercury opposite Uranus  (Strength:  4.88)

 

(The Undisciplined)

 

You are apt to be restless and easily bored unless you have somewhere to go or something to do that is “different” every waking moment.  You look for new experiences or people with whom you can exchange original ideas.  You are too impatient for conventional studies, but may become intrigued by the challenge of mathematics, astrology or mysteries that command your attention and will inspire you to use the control you need to carve a niche in a structured world.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  4.58)

 

(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 opposite Saturn  (Strength:  3.52)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon sextile Mars  (Strength:  2.57)

 

(The Convincer)

 

Because your self-respect is obvious, you command attention and may often find yourself in a position of authority.  You enjoy defending your beliefs, not in an antagonistic manner, but to validate your feelings as you share your convictions.  Others work willingly with and for you.  You come into your own when allowed to exercise your initiative.  Avoid making impulsive decisions.  Your drive is subjective and needs contemplation for lasting results.

 

 

Mars sextile Jupiter  (Strength:  1.52)

 

(The Self-assured)

 

You have the ability to work with unflagging energy.  A desire to accomplish goals quickly inspires others to follow you willingly, since you have the courage of your convictions and are confident of winning.  You are not a team player, but will accept and learn from the views of those you respect. You have excellent timing and will initiate action at the appropriate moment.  Your fascination with law expands your knowledge and reinforces your conviction of “justice for all.”

 

 

Neptune conjunct Midheaven  (Strength:  0.57)

 

(The Lotus)

 

You may be confused as to what your life is about and how to direct it.  You are a dreamer, inclined to mystical, rather than physical practices.  You may examine eastern philosophies where the elevation of the soul is valued above bodily needs, or minister, selflessly, to the unfortunates of the world, without acclaim or reward.  Your purpose must be to alleviate the suffering of mankind.  Like any pioneer dedicated to a cause, you may give your life for it.

 

 

Mercury inconjunct Mars  (Strength:  0.12)

 

(The Irritable)

 

Your impatience can be a source of trouble with your loved ones or co-workers.  You may invite accidents as an expression of your peevishness.  Look within to discover reasons for your discontent.  Adopt The Golden Rule as your own and try to see your partner’s views.  Lend a helping hand instead of a closed fist to force your way.  Your enormous energy may be used to move things forward instead of bumping your head a

gainst a wall and going nowhere.

 

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 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.
