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

 

 

Aquarius Ascendant

 

(The Oracle)

 

Your distinctive features are your eyes, sometimes the color of the sea, the sky, or both — one is never sure which.  You are a one-of-a-kind person in touch with “something” that gives you special insights into “tomorrow.”  You don’t ask to be understood, but need freedom to explore the horizon. Problems occur in avoiding commitment.  You cannot get along without people, since you would have no way to express the compassion you feel for all of earth’s creatures.

 

 

 

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 First House

 

(The Driving Force)

 

In all things you must be first.  Patience is not your long suit, but try to make allowances for those who lack your talent for making quick judgments.  Partnerships can be difficult because of your hair-trigger temper.  It is through your partners that you find the harmony and stability you so desperately need for balance.  You have what it takes to succeed: Good health, charm, confidence and courage — the qualities of a leader.  But, they are also the traits of a tyrant.  The choice is always yours as to how you use the tremendous powers at your disposal.

 

 

 

Moon in Libra

 

(The Dependent)

 

You have a burning desire to please and will go to great lengths to do so.  You cultivate an image of glamour and success, are probably a compulsive buyer and enjoy wearing distinctive and expensive clothes.  You attract easily, and are popular, but fickle.  You may be over-critical of your partners until you realize that, because you are easily-led, you need someone to help you make decisions.  You are either too lazy or insecure to try to develop much self-reliance.  A strong instinct that a special relationship is “fated” may lead you to the proper person to be your life-mate.

 

 

Moon in the Eighth House

 

(The Manipulator)

 

You are aware from birth of unusual mind-powers which you may use to your own advantage.  Or, since public approval is important to you, you may use them to develop your gifts to benefit others.  If you have an aptitude for E.S.P., it needs careful supervision so that you can control emotional traumas and even episodes of “far memory”, which you cannot explain. In this life, it would appear you have chosen to experience a “sea change into something rich and strange!”

 

 

Mercury in Pisces

 

(The Unique)

 

Your uncanny intuition and psychic feelings must often be accepted on faith, alone.  It is not easy to be “different.”  You may feel oppressed or fall into depressions that confound those who care for you.  Learn to recognize “teachers” who will help you develop your special qualities.  Then, find a proper channel to present your talents, even to those who cling to orthodox beliefs.  Offer your uncommon gifts in the name of humanity on the altar of mankind.

 

 

Mercury in the First House

 

(The Promoter)

 

You know yourself well and think on your feet.  You can express your point of view but may be scattered and easily distracted.  You may lack follow-through so that others think you too superficial to be taken seriously.  You often talk yourself into a desirable situation and lose it because of a tendency to hyperbolize.  Choose and channel your words with discipline.  Learn to be a good listener.  Remember, nothing worth remembering is accomplished by talk, alone.

 

 

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 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 Virgo

 

(The Indispensable)

 

You perform “to the letter” and often to an “nth” degree that is unnecessary.  You seem to have unlimited physical resources, take orders well and respect regimen, but may have difficulty in relating to co-workers.  In arguments, you express quickly, accurately, and, too often, sarcastically. You are a valuable helpmate in personal relationships, though a need to avoid expressing yourself in a superior manner should be recognized and modified to an acceptable level.

 

 

Mars in the Seventh House

 

(The Boss)

 

You will always walk a fine line between being the strongest of partners, or an arrogant bully. You carry a chip on your shoulder and make few efforts to hide it, preferring open conflict to hidden resentments. You attract those who stimulate your lightning mind and back your decisions. Together you may accomplish more than you can alone, but will be productive only if you find a personal solution to an irresistible force meeting an immovable object.

 

 

Jupiter in Virgo

 

(The Hopeful)

 

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

 

 

Jupiter in the Seventh House

 

(The Alliance)

 

Whether your partnership is professional or personal, your mate must allow you room to expand.  Your original intent may be that you can accomplish more as a team than as individuals.  This works best if you agree to share quality, rather than quantity time together.  Otherwise, your need for independence will soon split an otherwise productive pairing.

 

 

Saturn in Virgo

 

(The Precisionist)

 

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

 

 

Saturn in the Seventh House

 

(The Odd Couple)

 

You will often find partners disagreeing with what you personally desire, or the means by which you achieve your ends.  Your values may be different, due to an age-gap.  You are likely to be too stubborn to give up your beliefs, methods, or a relationship, itself.  Agree to disagree or to accept the fact that you both have much to learn from association.   You can profit by enlarging your understanding to include an opposite point of view.

 

 

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 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 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 Tenth House

 

(The Bewildered)

 

As if establishing goals for career and initiating a life course were not difficult enough, before you complete your education, you may despair of fitting into ANY role you have chosen.  Rather than change WHAT you are doing, try to discover if you are realistic about your potential and the manner in which you apply yourself.  If you need the advice of a counselor, choose one who does not deal with abstractions, but can suggest a practical means of achieving success.

 

 

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 Eighth House

 

(The Rejuvenator)

 

Your life is one of constant change, as though you are living several lifetimes in one.  Your gifts of intuition and an ability to restore to advantage when things fall apart are in your favor.  You can usually see beneath the surface of any situation, which gives you a decided edge, but try to avoid circumstances which put someone else in the driver’s seat.  You can look forward to each transforming experience which usually announces a period of spiritual growth.

 

 

Sagittarius Midheaven

 

You would be happiest in a career which allows you to enthusiastically inspire others.  You easily develop expertise which you visibly display to a large audience.  You would make a good consultant, motivator, propagandist, publicist, missionary, and spreader of the word.   Always in motion, you want to continually evolve in your career.  Your up-beat focus is on the future, not the past.  Those who are down, you cheer with your optimism.  You can be an outspoken crusader for justice and for the humane treatment of people, children, and animals.

 

You excel at work that calls for skill in human relationships, as you are affable and congenial in your personal contacts.  In your job there should be considerable freedom in what you do and how you are allowed to do it.  You would enjoy travelling to or at least communicating with varied locations.  You have an egalitarian, open-minded approach to people from various backgrounds.  You can successfully handle a variety of duties.  The potential drawbacks of this placement are scattered energies, lack of discipline, impulsiveness, and natural outspokenness turned to arguing for its own sake.  Your energies are best organized when guided by a goal or vision.

 

Occupations consistent with your changeable, active style of work include traveler, teacher, philosopher, outdoors occupation, hunter, athlete, publisher, advertiser, publicist, scholar, artist, conductor, businessperson, government official, lawyer, judge, or consultant .  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 Jupiter, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Leo

 

(The Nonchalant)

 

You yearn for success, but your carefree attitude requires discipline to channel your energies.  You need support, but give the impression of being self-sufficient, so seldom receive it.  Curb your independence.  Work with others to acquire necessary skills to exploit your unquestionable talents, when desire is not enough to accomplish your purpose.

 

 

North Node in the Seventh House

 

(The Hero)

 

You may win every battle, and demand credit for all you do, but without admiration, your victories are hollow.  You are essentially self-sufficient, but to achieve happiness must learn to share your fortunes, no matter what they have cost you.  In sharing with those who are weaker in talent, effort and resolve, you will receive the honors you desire.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Mars conjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  4.40)

 

(The Exuberant)

 

You are interested in expanding your capabilities, perhaps through extended learning or travel.  Though impulsive, your successes can result in a belief that you lead a “charmed life,” and there is little you are afraid to tackle.  You enjoy leading others in the fulfillment of your goals.  Since your desires and seemingly-unlimited energy are unified, there is virtually nothing you cannot accomplish, once you have the resolve to complete what you begin.

 

 

Saturn square Neptune  (Strength:  4.16)

 

(The Troubled)

 

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

 

 

Sun conjunct Mercury  (Strength:  3.52)

 

(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.

 

 

Saturn sextile Uranus  (Strength:  2.85)

 

(The Offset)

 

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

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  2.78)

 

(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.”

 

 

Mars conjunct North Node  (Strength:  2.71)

 

(The Champion)

 

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

 

 

Sun inconjunct Moon  (Strength:  2.13)

 

(The Reflection)

 

Your determination to succeed may cause you to trip over your ego.  Joint resources may fall victim to your personal ambitions or shortage of willpower when push comes to shove. Don’t blame your lack of vitality on health problems, rather than take a rest when your body indicates the need.  You will find a likeness of what you project in others.  No amount of “cover-ups” or excuses will bring you stability.  Use this as a guide to establish your equilibrium early-on.

 

 

Venus trine Neptune  (Strength:  1.18)

 

(The Union)

 

Your gentle spirit and creative mind blend to create idealistic inspiration.  You can be self-deluding, and credit yourself with qualities of an ideal mate.  As you can forgive shortcomings, you will be upset if others fault your image of perfection or deny you the same generous compassion you extend.  Project realism and allow time to discover reality in relationships before commitment.  You contribute much as a partner and deserve better than to live in an illusion.

 

 

Venus inconjunct Uranus  (Strength:  1.18)

 

(The Exotic)

 

You are drawn to unusual and sporadic love affairs.  You may indulge in sexual fantasies, which you may or may not put into action.  If the latter is true, you can pay a high price for your experiments in the form of social diseases.  As erratic as you are in love, you are likely to find unconventional ways to make money, but since your attention-span is short, you may find yourself drifting as a job-hopper without the patience to commit to one field of endeavor.

 

 

Jupiter conjunct North Node  (Strength:  1.11)

 

(The Jovial)

 

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

 

 

Mercury square Neptune  (Strength:  0.96)

 

(The Perplexed)

 

You dream of fairy-tale romances, but be careful not to put on pedestals those who don’t deserve your consideration. You will come to see they have feet of clay, and become disillusioned.  If you live in a dream world, you can be deceived.  Or, you may use others to achieve your means in an underhanded manner.  Maintain your integrity and insist on fact over fantasy.  Avoid confusion that could deny success.  Don’t forego your chance at a productively rewarding life.

 

 

Venus trine Mars  (Strength:  0.83)

 

(The Union)

 

You are physically attractive and attracted to others who project their sexuality in a positive manner.  Your pairings are intense, you seldom let them get out of the balance that makes for harmonious relationships.  You sense when you are being “used” and will dissolve a partnership if unanimity is not restored.  However, partings need not be chaotic.  You are a diplomatic charmer, valued for the friendship you extend and maintain without surrendering your individuality.

 

Venus inconjunct Saturn  (Strength:  0.02)

 

(The Concerned)

 

You are plagued by mixed feelings.  Though you yearn for romance, an age difference in your partner can cause conflicts.  There will always be a choice to make between work and pleasure.  Unfortunately, in your case, the two just don’t blend.  You may have erotic ideas or a gambling instinct, but will hold them down as being impractical.  You can turn this to your advantage by exercising self-control which will prove that “slow, but steady” wins your race!

 

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 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 Fire

 

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way.  You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership.  You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive.  Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

 

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

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

Abundant Mutable

 

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances.  Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest.  Life offers a succession of roles to play.  Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone’s friend.  You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others’ needs that you lack direction in your own life.  Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value.  Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help.  The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve.  You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference.  The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten.  Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.
