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 Libra

 

(Keynote:  I BALANCE)

 

You are honest, refined, tactful and generous, but may also be indecisive, credulous, impractical and trifling.  Your willingness to put the feelings of others ahead of your own makes you a desirable friend, but leaves you open to subverting your personality.  You are in your element at social functions, and revel in the arts.  Avoid arguing in the name of “justice,” and  flaunting your “superior” knowledge. Maybe you ARE a “know-it-all,” but that attitude rarely influences people to agree.  You are more effective as a diplomat, winning friends to people your busy life.

 

 

Sun in the Third House

 

(The Neighbor)

 

You are constantly on-the-go and may talk “off the top of your head” — but you WILL talk.  You sometimes enjoy gossiping, because an interaction with people is paramount in your life.  Others may not understand your need for habitual conversation, but since you are clever and bright, you are probably well-liked.  You excel in writing or debating and are always interested in learning something new.  Your suitcase is half-packed and ready for spur-of-the moment travel.  If you develop the persistence to complete half the projects you begin, you can count on success as a result of your efforts.

 

 

 

Moon in Virgo

 

(The Spartan)

 

Your outwardly-cool attitude may cause others to approach you with caution, and make friendship difficult.  You are capable of accomplishing a lot, with little to work with.  You are not particularly ambitious, but may over-emphasize your limitations.  A place in scientific research is possible, where your practical mind and attention to detail can be appreciated.  If you are too hard on yourself or others, you can destroy your chances for recognition of your excellent merits.  Digestive difficulties may occur if you fret obsessively with no outlet for your frustrations.

 

 

Moon in the Third House

 

(The Telepathist)

 

Use your intuitive powers to express yourself, but first, be stable enough to employ them.  Eastern philosophies of meditation are particularly helpful since you will become increasingly aware of a need to go within for the truths you seek.  In groups, you may regard friends as brothers and sisters, and value mutual understanding, rather than conversation, as a bond, but do not depend on feelings, alone, to communicate with others.

 

 

Mercury in Virgo

 

(The Interpreter)

 

You read people well and have an insight that is valuable in all types of relationships.  Your interest in health can lead towards promoting natural ways of improvement in diet and disciplined exercise.  If your efforts go unappreciated, you may become hypercritical and distance people with a superior attitude.  You are a tireless worker and once committed, will spend a lifetime at a task requiring painstaking application, which others would consider monotonous.

 

 

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 Virgo

 

(The Unappreciated)

 

Your feelings are vulnerable to the slights of others. Perhaps in retaliation, you have a tendency to overanalyze and criticize any partners in your life.  You may also invite those whose standards are not your own, thereby giving you an opportunity for such censure.  Use the discretion you employ in business to choose someone who will appreciate your fine qualities of selectivity and is able to expose the sympathetic nature you bury beneath the cool exterior you present.

 

 

Venus in the Second House

 

(The Status-Seeker)

 

An innate dislike of ugliness makes the acquisition of beautiful things almost a necessity.  But, an obsession for accumulating expensive serendipity for the sake of creating an illusion of opulence can encourage acquiring money for money’s sake.  If there is an opportunity, you may marry for money at the expense of love.  True values need constant attention to rise above the temptation to worship at a golden idol’s feet.

 

 

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.

 

 

Mars in the Second House

 

(The Moneymaker)

 

Money, possessions and things you personally value will always be important to you.  The danger is that egoistic Mars can be obsessive and the acquisition of money may represent your only achievement.  While money is power, your life-values are a different kind of wealth.  At some time, you will need a partner to manage your assets.  It is only by sharing what you have earned OR learned that you receive full benefit of what you have achieved.

 

 

Jupiter in Aries

 

(The Pioneer)

 

You see the potential in everything and everybody, but success is not the same for everyone.  While nothing seems impossible to you, others are not blessed with your optimism that “where there’s a will, there’s a way.”  Undaunted by failure, you will not settle for less than the best and will try to reach a star, long after you’ve gained a mountain-top.

 

 

Jupiter in the Ninth House

 

(The Missionary)

 

You may feel you were born with a definite purpose in life to help others to elevate themselves to a position of higher learning.  Your ministerial bent may take you to foreign lands.  Whatever your message, you are firm in your beliefs and the authority you communicate in your writings or lectures will impress those who listen with your sincerity.

 

 

Saturn in Libra

 

(The Disillusioned)

 

Your dreams of a perfect partner may shatter more than once, but you will not give up trying.  Somehow, though you possess fine qualities, you don’t seem to attract the right people to appreciate them.  It is difficult for others to accept your high ideals and you to compromise them.  However, though you may feel lonely at times, you will grow to appreciate yourself as someone who can overcome personal unhappiness by helping others profit by your experience.

 

 

Saturn in the Third House

 

(The Pessimist)

 

Despite your pragmatic thinking, you may be unable to see further than the end of your nose, and you deal with the present, rather than plan for the future.  You incline to self-analysis, but may blame depression on surroundings or conditions beyond your control.  Shifting blame is no answer.  Know that if you have put yourself in an unfavorable position, you can also extricate yourself and advance to a better place by learning from your experiences.

 

 

Uranus in Cancer

 

(The Whimsical)

 

You are an uncommon, often-disruptive influence in the home.  Overly-sensitive, you can brood over imagined wrongs, but may never voice your unhappiness or resentments.  Others may not comprehend your dour moods.  You can benefit by quiet times of self-analysis.  Try to include your loved ones in discussions that will strengthen your bonds and prevent the dissension associated with your eccentricities.  Much may be accomplished by mutual understanding.

 

 

Uranus in the First House

 

(The Eccentric)

 

You are a unique individual, capable of changing from moment to moment.  It is difficult for you to accept conventional approaches to education or religion.  Many friends admire your spirit, but few claim to know what makes you “tick.”   You experience life on a very personal level. Learn to distinguish between rebellion and anarchy.  The first may lead to growth while the second is destructive without a thought to replacing what you have wantonly destroyed.

 

 

Neptune in Libra

 

(The Influenced)

 

You are subject to peer pressure which may not always serve your best interests.  Because you are an idealist, you may be drawn into causes that are without substance.  You seldom attempt anything alone, and prefer groups to a partner. If your dreams don’t interfere with the reality of a material world, you can inspire others to adopt altruistic ways of living.  It is your belief that what we have is not as important as our willingness to share it.

 

 

Neptune in the Fourth House

 

(The Nonconformist)

 

Even though you may defy the edicts of your parents, you will always look to them for guidance.  Your mother, in particular, may instill high ideals upon which to mold your life.  Home means shelter to you.  You will decorate it to suit yourself, regardless of what is in vogue, or seems practical.  You make your environs uniquely yours.  However, you tend to be untidy, and may destroy what you have built by neglecting to care for your creations.

 

 

Pluto in Leo

 

(The Agitated)

 

Your ability to keep things at a fever pitch needs careful regulating to avoid constant upheaval in your life and the lives of others.  Your senses are keen.  Use them to recognize a need for transforming human affairs.  Take your place in bettering your environment by helping others to better theirs.  It is preferable to accept the accolades of your peers for your good work than to indulge the self-aggrandizement negatively associated with your sign.

 

 

Pluto in the Second House

 

(The Materialist)

 

You may lend more importance to the acquisition of material goods than is due, and be obsessive about “who owns what” in property disputes.  Be objective in determining values, or you may find an outstanding business acumen stunted by your reluctance to include associates in the profits.  You may rebuild your foundations time and again before achieving success, but once you reach your zenith there is very little that can topple you from the place you have earned.

 

 

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 Pisces

 

(The Purist)

 

You have definite ideas of what the world should be like.  True comradeship is a rarity because few measure up to your rigid standards.  Your search for higher spirit will stimulate compassion for your fellow man and allow for human failure. No one may fulfill another’s karma or judge another’s essence.  Your desire should be to try to perfect yourself, inspiring others to do the same by your example.

 

 

North Node in the Eighth House

 

(The Driver)

 

You may try to CONTROL rather than to guide or manage.  You take setbacks as much to heart as triumphs.  Your obsessive passions have another side to them.  Using unselfishness and tolerance instead of jealousy and greed can unravel the tangles of your life so that the yarn is again clean, straight and ready for a new and more delicate weaving.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Sun conjunct Saturn  (Strength:  7.11)

 

(The Restricted)

 

You have a heavy sense of duty that often limits your own potential.  You tend to worry too much about “tomorrow,” even though your practicality and industry spurs you to accumulate necessary, if spartan things of life.  You sometimes make circumstances more difficult than they really are and may be accused of lacking a sense of humor.  Give yourself credit, not only for what you accomplish but for being a solid citizen that our planet can count on for the stability we need.

 

 

Moon inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  5.60)

 

(The Unstable)

 

Your attitude of “more is better” may arise from an emotional need that cannot be satisfied with material things. You may be convinced that there is nothing you cannot do, or others may expect you to accomplish the impossible, but if you fly too high, you may have a long way to fall.  Without proper foundations your ambitions as a super-achiever may come to nothing.  Recognize your limitations, as well as your capabilities, as you plot your course to success.

 

 

Jupiter conjunct Midheaven  (Strength:  5.52)

 

(The Confident)

 

You may experience professional triumphs as a young person by being in the right place at the right time, but expand your prosperity beyond practicality.  To impress others, let an agent speak in your behalf.  Otherwise, you may appear to represent yourself as being “Fortune’s Favorite,” which can cause resentment among your peers.  That would be a pity, since some of your success is due to belief in yourself, but also a belief in humanity, which is a nobler resolve.

 

 

Uranus conjunct Ascendant  (Strength:  3.64)

 

(The Expectant)

 

You are eager for the new or innovative, original in your personal goals and assume that you will achieve them. “Nothing is impossible,” because you visualize your needs and are objective enough to succeed, without becoming entangled in your emotions.  You may feel partnerships are too restrictive to fit into your ever-expanding plans for the future.  Freedom is important, but not at the risk of alienating you from those who would share your dreams and rejoice in your fulfillment.

 

 

Sun opposite Jupiter  (Strength:  3.13)

 

(The Listener)

 

You are so idealistic, hopeful and enthusiastic that it seems unlikely that anyone or anything can deflate your quixotic balloon.  Because to you “possession is nine-tenths of success,” you surround yourself with material proof of your achievements.  Your tendency to overdo needs a tight rein to keep your goals and rewards in alignment.  It is important that since you are such a “Pollyanna” you hear the opinions and advice of others who offer a practical outlook.

 

 

Jupiter square Uranus  (Strength:  3.04)

 

(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.

 

 

Jupiter opposite Saturn  (Strength:  2.43)

 

(The Alibis)

 

You may fantasize heroic adventures, but think others hold you back.  You find reasons why you can’t “go and do.” The truth is you probably have trouble letting go of the familiar to explore the unknown.  Though you complain, you are a hard worker, accept responsibility, and should be able to expand your horizons.  To paraphrase the poet:  “It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all!” There is always a chance you will exceed your expectations!

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.89)

 

(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 Uranus  (Strength:  1.63)

 

(The Emancipated)

 

You enjoy change and thrive on excitement.  Your friends mirror your stimulating energy.  You are interested in subjects you can absorb quickly, or peripherally, if they require much concentration.  Opportunities may appear unexpectedly.  If they stir your imagination, you sometimes accept them because of intuitive nudges that come and go. Some might say you live life in the “fast” lane, but to you, an unscheduled spin is what makes the world go ’round.

 

 

Uranus square Neptune  (Strength:  1.26)

 

(The Elusive)

 

You tend to sidestep issues you don’t want to deal with and may try to escape into unrealistic abstractions, though you see them as truth.  The world can be a confusing place in which to live, but you must address life as realistically as possible.  Yours is a challenge to find ways in which to use your unusual talents productively.  Your viewpoint is all-important, as you must discover how to adjust to circumstances that require practicality, as well as imagination.

 

 

Mars conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  0.58)

 

(The Adamant)

 

You are convinced that doing things “your way” is the best, if not the only way and will try to impress upon others that their opinions are worth little.  You may feel strongly that you can literally transform those who choose to follow your lead for the better and will work unceasingly in their behalf.  In reality, you may be reinforcing ego energies which need evaluation.  Perhaps you must adjust more realistically to circumstances before you can comply with your ego demands.

 

 

 

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Earth

 

You are in touch with the real world.  More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way.  Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age.  Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well.  You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them.  Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types.  You know how to establish a pace and keep it.

 

Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here — to which others may be more sensitive than you.  Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched.  Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve.  You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull.  If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn’t everything and try to be more spontaneous.  Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).

 

 

Abundant Air

 

You seem to live for mental exploration.  Discovering and communicating the connections between ideas, people, and places is your function in life.  Your active mind is good at identifying new frontiers whose basics you quickly master, so that you end up knowing something about almost everything.  You have a dispassionate nature that cooly considers the pros and cons of a situation, able to place logic above personal emotion.  From your mental viewpoint, emotions look irrational.  You make a good negotiator, sales person, communicator, arbitrator, analyst, and information processor.  Ideas flow quickly for you.  While impersonal and dispassionate, you nonetheless thrive on communication and social interaction.  At your best, you strive to understand and accept people, not to change them.  Courageously, you adhere to principles.  You appreciate culture, structure, and systems.

 

Your greatest strength is also your weakness, namely too much coolness from placing head above heart.  Leaders must be able to follow their hearts without being indecisive or equivocating.  And you ignore your real connection to others if you use your mental gifts to coldly manipulate them.  Try to avoid isolation by functioning as part of a team in which your logic, analysis, and communication skills are put to good use.  Work with others who may be more practical, sensitive, or passionate than are you. Don’t keep your good ideas inside, but write them down and communicate them to others.

 

 

Lack of Water

 

For you the world of feelings may be terra incognita.  Close interpersonal relations, which require the expression of feelings, and empathy for others’ feelings, do not come naturally or easily for you.  You have difficulty putting yourself in someone else’s shoes in order to feel what they feel.  You will learn how to deal with life in a tough, mental sort of way.  People looking for someone to empathize with them should not come to you.  Those people who are comfortable with you are not looking for emotional closeness.  It’s not that you don’t have emotions and feelings, but they do not come out easily in your relationships.  If you are an artist, they may come out in your art.  You probably take refuge from the difficulty of forming emotional connections by concentrating on intellectual, practical, or inspired activity.  Your best companions would be those who are able to inhabit these realms with you, but who are also in touch with their feelings.  They can help you to contact your own feelings and teach you to respect and honor other people’s feelings.

 

A lack of planets in Water signs can be offset by a Water sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Endings.

 

 

Abundant Relationships

 

With abundant planets in these houses, relationships and communications with others are likely to be central to your life.  You can help others by exchanging ideas and making connections between people.  You will probably maintain active contact with a wide circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances.  You keep abreast of new information via various media and your friends.

 

 

Lack of Endings

 

You live on the surface of things, afraid to look within at what you really feel and want.  Perhaps your position is too precarious or the obligations too great to allow yourself this luxury.  You feel forced to maintain your personal status quo.  You come across to others as unfeeling.  Because personal feelings do not distract you, you might make a good scientist, though be aware that the greatest scientists let intuitive feelings be their guide.

 

A lack of planets in the houses of Endings can be offset by abundant planets in Water signs.

 

 

Lack of Life

 

You could have difficulty envisioning or planning for the future.  You are likely to accept the status quo, living in the past and present, but not actively striving to create the future.  Lacking your own passionate goals, you are more likely to be a follower than a leader.

 

A lack of planets in the houses of Life can be offset by abundant planets in Fire signs.
