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

 

 

Scorpio Ascendant

 

(The Master)

 

Your unwavering, sometimes piercing gaze states that you are secure in the knowledge of who you are.  You like to have your own way, and if you don’t get it, will devise a dozen different strategies to have it, anyway!  Your strengths are divided, and present two definite sides of the same coin:  You are a loyal friend and a bitter enemy; have high morals or little conscience; and employ your finest or most scurrilous qualities with equal vigor.  The choice is always yours.

 

 

 

Sun in Pisces

 

(Keynote: I BELIEVE)

 

You are intuitive, sympathetic, kind and romantic.  You can be insecure, changeable, deceitful and moody.  Your ambitions often prod you into an early success.  You dislike working in controlled environments and have an active imagination that can work for or against you.  You can create problems by being indecisive or unreliable.  Use logic over emotion when your overwhelming compassion for others indicates personal sacrifice.  You are blessed with spiritual insight, inviting you to live life fully and not on the fringes.  Your faith in “tomorrow” will help you to do so.

 

 

Sun in the Fourth House

 

(The Favorite)

 

You will probably think of your childhood as a happy time and relate well to your parents. Part of your attitude is because you take responsibility for your siblings, who look to you for counseling, as well as creating the fun and games of which all children are fond.  Because of your closeness, you may rely too much upon one another and have few outside contacts, but you’ll regard close friends as family and entertain in your home.  If you need psychological counseling at some time, you’ll easily recall early experiences to which a therapist can relate and discover the root of your problems.

 

 

 

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!”

 

 

Moon in the Fifth House

 

(The Easy-Rider)

 

You enjoy a child-like lack of responsibility, so may not wish to leave childhood behind.  You are likable, but  sometimes irresponsible.  Theater is a good place to project your emotions.  Children identify with the child-in-you, so you are valuable as a teacher.  You may be having too much fun to commit to long-term relationships or a demanding career, and must overcome qualities of superficiality and self-indulgence to exercise your highest potential.

 

 

Mercury in Aries

 

(The Quick Study)

 

You “catch on” fast, but are apt to drop ideas as swiftly as you conceive them.  Your assertive attitude may put off those who feel threatened by your ability to take charge.  You usually go with first impressions and will only change your mind reluctantly, if proven wrong.  Your famous temper may flare on occasion, but quarrels are quickly forgotten.  You are self-serving, express confidently, and only need to modify your actions to achieve the rewards you desire.

 

 

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 Aries

 

(The Wire-walker)

 

You are an extremist who is sweetly disposed or aggressively angry in unpredictable turns.  If you decide to be a pianist, you will devote hours and months to study and practice; then trade it in on a clarinet.  Look for a balance that will keep you from impulsively falling in love, marrying, divorcing, and marrying again.  You are a handful of dynamite in an appealing package.  Only in moderation can you find the stability you need for the happiness you deserve.

 

 

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 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!”

 

 

Mars in the Eighth House

 

(The Broker)

 

An inner knowledge fits you to deal with people on the most basic of levels.  Through human encounter, you will continually change your life patterns, if not your goals.  Others will trust you to handle their ideas, personal conflicts and their money.  It is up to you to find ways to encourage the expansion of your associates and their assets in an objective manner without forcing an egoistic view of your personal evolution upon them.

 

 

Jupiter in Gemini

 

(The Ambivalent)

 

You have the highest ideals and are an inspiration to those who know your spiritual side.  Your flair for writing and creative pen blends the sadness and joys of life into a harmony that dreams are made of.  But, if you scatter your energies, you may never complete your work and receive the rewards of your talents.

 

 

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 Leo

 

(The Haughty)

 

You may have trouble in sharing all the love you have to give or finding the love you crave, and so allow an “I don’t care” attitude to become a mask, under which you hide your true feelings.  You can also substitute imperiousness for emotional rapport and again deny your basic needs.  Try to go with the world instead of against it.  You may find a way to turn your negatives positive and enjoy the spin instead of just becoming dizzy and wanting to get off.

 

 

Saturn in the Ninth House

 

(The Thinker)

 

You probably have the self-confidence usually born of long experience, no matter your age.  Your powers of concentration enable you to absorb the essentials of life in great chunks.  A career in law may satisfy your sense of justice.  However, inherent knowledge may preclude the experience to utilize it.  If your viewpoint seems narrow, look for ways to augment it.  Like the Bluebird, you may find them waiting in your own back yard.

 

 

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 Twelfth House

 

(The Subversive)

 

You may work a lifetime to escape the harassment of those who don’t understand you.  You tend to be reclusive under pressure, but this is not the answer to your problems.  The secrets of your subconscious mind are waiting to be discovered. Your dreams may hold clues as to why negative ideas surface unbidden during your waking moments.  Fortunately, you will attract the proper teachers to help you understand yourself when their advice is most needed.

 

 

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 First House

 

(The Dreamer)

 

Your wonderful imagination can take you far in a career or work against you, personally.  Idealistic by nature, you are easily led into situations that have little or no value, or you may guide others erroneously. You are self-effacing and often self-sacrificing since it is hard to turn away those who ask your help.  Unusual childhood experiences should convince you to take a second look at life before plunging headlong into spaces that even angels may avoid.

 

 

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 Eleventh House

 

(The Searcher)

 

You may want something with all your heart, but when you get it, decide it’s not what you want at all.  This is also true of people traveling in a sort of perpetual motion through your life.  Examine your relationships closely to determine whether their influence is positive or negative.  In time, meaningless friendships will end and when you sort out your values and are sure of your goals, you’ll take your rightful place in the universe and find it fits like a glove.

 

 

Leo Midheaven

 

You are willing to put energy, dedication, high ideals, and sustained effort into a career.  The causes that you adopt will benefit from your understanding of promotion and publicity.  Often found in positions of authority, you like to deal with big causes and big people.  The image that you present in your career must be an image of which you are proud, which can make you either a charismatic leader to be admired or an authoritative tyrant to be resented.

 

Develop the confidence to allow your creative energies to flow.  You can be the leader with the exciting ideas on which others depend.  You are rarely found in a career situation in which someone else is dictating the hours.  You can bring much joy to others by giving generously of yourself.  But this will not be in an unassuming way, for you do like to stand out from the crowd.  If you have a weakness, it is to cling to your beliefs or an inflated self-image even in the face of obvious failure.  A wise gambler knows when to hold his hand of cards and when to fold them.

 

Occupations consistent with your dramatic style of work include actor, producer, executive, sports personality, politician, entertainer, fiction writer, leader, entrepreneur, minister, promoter, artist, or diplomat.  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 the sun, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Libra

 

(The Selfless)

 

You will not understand why others are promoted while you are passed by.  You must change an attitude that the world revolves around you.  Jealousy or resentment depletes your strength which should be used, not for your purposes alone, but to do for others what they cannot do.  You will acquire the stature you long for by balancing your needs with others.

 

 

North Node in the Eleventh House

 

(The Inappropriate)

 

You are in love with love and may wear your heart on your sleeve.  See yourself through the eyes of others where you are reflected.  Perceive that you must grow beyond “self” to gain the happiness you seek.  By forsaking your ego, you can find the satisfaction of joining others in a cause which you may develop, and fulfill your pursuit of immortality.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon trine Saturn  (Strength:  6.46)

 

(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.”

 

 

Moon square Mars  (Strength:  6.44)

 

(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.

 

 

Mercury conjunct Venus  (Strength:  5.77)

 

(The Considerate)

 

Your mind and emotions are in harmony, so you express your feelings openly and sincerely.  Since you are people and service-oriented and may have artistic talents, you may blend them in business, i.e. you might produce scientific products for cosmetics or invent new ways of combining colors in art. You are sentimental about loved ones.  Beware of granting your love to those who don’t appreciate your fine, sensitive qualities, which would destroy your joy in giving.

 

 

Sun trine Mars  (Strength:  4.98)

 

(The Self-possessed)

 

You are confident, but not often “cocky.”  You attract the opposite sex and others who admire your independence, though you adjust readily to partnerships which increase your scope.  You review your progress regularly and update your potential, so are prepared for achievement without egoistic pitfalls to delay your success.  You may excel in physical sports, but true to your pattern are well-rehearsed, and play for the challenge of a game — not for the win, alone.

 

 

Saturn conjunct Midheaven  (Strength:  4.92)

 

(The Award)

 

It may take you some time to get where you’re going, but your hard work and perseverance will pay off.  Lay your plans carefully.  Achievement of your goals has nothing to do with “luck.”  Do not alienate yourself from those who care for you and are willing to follow your lead.  You need their support. You tend to be inflexible, but be prepared to restructure your thinking.  As a realist, you should allow enough margin for error to absorb the revisions that assure your success.

 

 

Sun square Neptune  (Strength:  4.54)

 

(The Disoriented)

 

You may feel “lost.”  Misdirection in your life can result in repeated defeats and feelings of inadequacy.   Energy drops may be frequent so that you “never really feel good.”  You are at the center of your problems, so you, alone, hold the solutions.  It is not easy to reprogram for success, but begin by building resources in both body and mind.  Your idealism will encourage you to continue to believe that “life is what you make it” and can be beautiful, indeed.

 

 

Jupiter sextile Saturn  (Strength:  3.94)

 

(The Merger)

 

You have the best of both worlds as you fuse your dreams with practicality to fulfill them.  You accurately plan your growth to fit within sensible structures which are designed to expand as you watch your ambitions fulfilled.  You are an apt student who never tires of learning experiences that keep your life from becoming static.  You do not consider organization as limitation, and have the patience to see things through with satisfying results and justifiable pride as your rewards.

 

 

Sun trine Uranus  (Strength:  2.46)

 

(The Electrifier)

 

You are a motivating force, and often inspire others to follow your lead.  Never content with the “status quo,” a search for enlightenment can lead you to explore unusual ways of getting in touch with yourself.  Beware of “kooky” cults or schemes, but uplifting studies can be helpful.  One of these may be astrology.  If you are not productive, restless energy may appear as nervous disorders which can only be remedied by steps you take to restore your cosmic balance.

 

 

Moon trine Neptune  (Strength:  1.96)

 

(The Muse)

 

Your strange and wonderful dreams may be precognitive, since you are intuitive and can use this way of venting your feelings.  They can also be useful in creative work, where fantasy is as important as practicality.  You express spiritually, though you may not adopt an orthodox religion. You shun coarseness and identify with gentleness.  Your relationships are idealistic, but you must watch a tendency to overdramatize them, as did Romeo and Juliet.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.70)

 

(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 sextile Jupiter  (Strength:  1.64)

 

(The Helper)

 

As a student of life, you have a “live and let live” philosophy, that includes the hapless creatures of the world. While you believe in individual freedom, you often extend a willing hand in time of trouble, and receive relief in kind from your many friends.  Last-minute “windfalls” may extricate you from financial problems.  Generous with your purse, you exemplify “casting your bread upon the waters” where it multiplies and returns to you in time of need.

 

 

Sun square Jupiter  (Strength:  1.06)

 

(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.

 

Mercury square Jupiter  (Strength:  0.41)

 

(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!

 

Venus square Jupiter  (Strength:  0.18)

 

(The Spoiler)

 

Your tendency to exaggerate may be your downfall.  You may confuse wishing with attaining and neglect a proper foundation for rewards.  You are fond of social activities, but find it hard to resist temptations of the flesh, so may overindulge in foods that are too rich or drinks that are too potent.  It is hard to discourage you.  You are forever optimistic and in such good spirits that it would take a heart of stone to try to bring you down or ruin your day.

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

Abundant Endings

 

With abundant planets in the houses of endings, you are probably sensitive, moody, and introspective.  You are not afraid to show your feelings and make an empathetic listener to the problems and feelings of others.  You have been around the track enough yourself to sense what others are going through and to show that you care.  You are not the most intellectual or practical person.  You can be easily swayed by an appeal to your emotions.

 

 

Lack of Substance

 

You are not the most grounded or practical person.  The rules of this material world are not well known to you.  Others may admire your dreams, but they could be impossible dreams.  You may find it difficult to choose, plan, and work towards a career or vocation.

 

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

 

 

Lack of Relationships

 

Relating to other people probably plays a minor role in your life.  You could remain unmarried, be a loner, or even be an orphan.  Your thinking is probably subjective or personal, without the objectivity that comes from having communicated with many people.  Let others teach you by showing you and if they give you any feedback on your thinking, see if you can learn from it.

 

A lack of planets in the houses of Relationships can be offset by abundant planets in Air signs.
