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 Virgo

 

(Keynote: I ANALYZE)

 

You are practical, modest, thoughtful and discriminating.  You can be critical, withdrawn, narrow, and tend to worry too much, particularly about your health.  You are hard to know because you are cool and reserved, but are a fine teacher, with an aptitude for figures, an ability to evaluate accurately, and an abundance of knowledge.  Your sense of responsibility assures the most tedious task will be finished promptly and precisely.  Your dry wit is often unexpected and appreciated, but when it turns to biting sarcasm can make even your best friends wish you’d stayed at home!

 

 

Sun in the Tenth House

 

(The Super-achiever)

 

You are determined to be a success, sometimes at the expense of others.  You may justify a workaholic’s devotion to your career by arguing that you are “slaving” so that “others may benefit,” which may or may not be so.  You must be entirely above-board or take the time to correct past mistakes or deceits before you reach the top, because sooner or later you will have to account for your actions.  However, rest assured that no matter your faults, it is NEVER too late to begin again when you have learned from mistakes to build a firm foundation beneath the edifice you plan to erect.

 

 

 

Moon in Aquarius

 

(The Individual)

 

You are not always practical, but are unorthodox and misunderstood by those who do not appreciate that you are a true liberal of rare talent.  You cannot be restricted by the bonds of convention or a regulated society.  Whatever you do is done with all your heart, but once you have accomplished your purpose, you move on, which may give you a reputation of indifference.  Your independence can result in loneliness, though you surround yourself with people and join causes in which you strongly believe.  You search for enlightenment to bring you to the state of peace and tranquility you long for.

 

 

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 Libra

 

(The Moderator)

 

You are a born diplomat, so can usually sugar-coat even a bitter pill to make it palatable.  Because you see all sides of a question, you often have trouble making up your mind as to what is “fair.”  Look for a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and will inspire you to use your gift of writing.  Though your work may not be commercial, it will give you the pleasure of creating something beautiful to share with those who appreciate your efforts.

 

 

Mercury in the Eleventh House

 

(The Mingler)

 

You are at your best when your hopes and wishes mesh with those of others.  Your friends are like you, so you are convivially compatible.  Together, you solve dilemmas, further ideas, organize and socialize — but you may see things too much alike to expand in another direction.  You exemplify a fraternity; your parties are delightful, but with only the same guests invited, may in time become static and leave you longing for the variety missing from your fun.

 

 

Venus in Scorpio

 

(The Passionate)

 

Your tempestuous nature is evident to anyone or anything you decide to possess or oppose.  You refuse to take “no” for an answer.  Others bend to your will because you are determined to have your own way, even if the result is not in your best interest.  Jealousy is a self-defeating fault, as is possessiveness.  Turn your power into self-control.   You have the ability to overcome negative qualities and lay a proper foundation to succeed in gaining what you desire most.

 

 

Venus in the Twelfth House

 

(The Helpmate)

 

You may be drawn into affairs that must be kept secret.  You will put yourself second as you support loved ones, but may feel your love is unrequited.  You may take the burden of blame upon yourself if things go wrong and find yourself like the poet who remonstrated: “Nevermore.”  The agony of a lost love was so eloquent that he could not bear to voice it, but had it spoken by a Raven.  Sometimes, a head ruling a broken heart can soften sorrows caused by the reverse.

 

 

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 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 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 Fourth House

 

(The Realtor)

 

You may become a successful broker because your own love of home and family represents the peace and security you crave.  Your home is your castle and reflects your passion for luxury.  You may treasure sentimental objects from childhood which represent familiar surroundings you have come to cherish.  Like Scarlett O’Hara, your strength is in the land.

 

 

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 First House

 

(The Burdened)

 

You were born with the weight of the world on your shoulders and a profound sense of what is proper and what is not.  You take life seriously and assume responsibility, but are frequently disappointed when others don’t recognize your value.  You may have to enlarge your concepts, and grow past a tendency to magnify your difficulties.  Discard negativity. Childhood sicknesses may also vanish, releasing you from other inhibitions which have held you back.

 

 

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 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 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 Second House

 

(The Squanderer)

 

You are indeed the grasshopper of Aesop’s Fables, tending to spend more than you earn without a thought for what tomorrow may bring.  It is hard to define your values.  Though you lean toward the spiritual, you find it irresistible to accumulate beautiful, but useless objects.  Try to establish a habit of thrift in your early years.  Distinguish between “wanting” and “needing” before you open your generous purse once too often and find yourself in the Poor House!

 

 

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 Twelfth House

 

(The Intellectual)

 

You tend to rationalize hidden feelings that prompt you to embark on programs of self-analysis, when you should go with an urge to seek the advice of someone in whom you can confide your secret thoughts.  Otherwise, without a productive way to vent the tremendous powers of your subconscious mind, you may encounter serious difficulties which will damage and inhibit your gift of using “mind over matter” to solve your problems and help others who need your support.

 

 

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 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 Fifth House

 

(The Princess)

 

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

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Venus conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  4.99)

 

(The Determined)

 

An intense desire for love and the finer things of life may encourage you to be indiscriminate about how you acquire either.  You feel things on a “gut” level and may be jealous and possessive.  You will be loyal and sincere, even though you may realize you are pursuing someone who may not be good for you.  If angered by rejection, you’ll attempt to get even without thought of consequences.  Try to temper your fixations with reason to assure the success of an in-depth union.

 

 

Jupiter square Uranus  (Strength:  4.76)

 

(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 square Neptune  (Strength:  3.51)

 

(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.

 

 

Sun trine Mars  (Strength:  3.42)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon sextile Uranus  (Strength:  3.30)

 

(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.

 

 

Sun square Uranus  (Strength:  3.23)

 

(The Daredevil)

 

You are courageous, but may also be rebellious and reckless.  If expecting the unexpected appeals to you, your life should be as thrilling and exciting as you could wish. But, if you try to sail a smooth sea, you may invite upsets that continually disturb your plans.  Changes may damage your originality, if you plunge headlong into the unknown, but upon examination may provide you with the means to mold your life-direction until it accommodates your special cast.

 

 

Mars sextile Jupiter  (Strength:  2.57)

 

(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.”

 

 

Sun opposite Jupiter  (Strength:  1.99)

 

(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.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.47)

 

(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.”

 

 

Venus sextile Neptune  (Strength:  0.46)

 

(The Genteel)

 

You may establish a successful career in some kind of art or art-related business, since you have an unusual ability for recognizing or creating beauty.  You are refined and abhor roughness or depravity of any kind.  “Rose-colored glasses” can make you unrealistic in relationships, for which you will accept blame, but believe in a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow.  You sometimes accomplish your dreams by refusing compromise until you find a means of fulfillment.

 

 

Mercury sextile Saturn  (Strength:  0.24)

 

(The Politic)

 

Your good judgment and a sense of reality keeps you in balance with your needs and how best to improve qualities of decency and decorum in yourself and others.  You are an exacting teacher with a good foundation in which experience, as well as classroom lessons plays a major part.  You have practical advice for those who ask your help.  Still, you can feel lonely if you restrict friendships to business.  Allow time for relaxation and the self-indulgence you deserve.

 

 

 

 

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 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).

 

 

Lack of Fire
