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

 

 

Leo Ascendant

 

(The Showman)

 

Your “mane” is your crowning glory and you delight in calling attention to it by tossing your head, or twisting or curling your hair.  You are conscious of your looks and enjoy displaying yourself to advantage.  Some consider you garish, but there are others who admire your colorful personality.  If you are shy, you still have the power to draw those to you who are somehow aware of the strength, warmth and pleasantly-entertaining personality behind your obscure exterior.

 

 

 

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 Second House

 

(The Aspirant)

 

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

 

 

 

Moon in 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 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 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 Libra

 

(The Captivator)

 

An intensive yen for romance may tempt you to marry early and in haste, which is inviting trouble.  You enjoy life as an “attention-getter” with good looks and a congenial manner to attract those with the same qualities.  You will also inevitably provoke the jealousy that goes with popularity.  You’re really too intelligent to indulge your penchant for changing partners each time you dance.  You have what it takes to recognize the “right” one, with all you need to be happy.

 

 

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 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 Cancer

 

(The Runner)

 

You change your environment constantly in the hope of finding the parental love and support you craved in childhood. New environments can never replace deeply-ingrained emotions that refuse to die.  Put away “childish things.”  Remember them lovingly, and not with sadness that they are no longer valid.  In assuming adult responsibility, you will establish a new rapport with comforting flesh — that of creating your own home and family, which is more fulfilling, still.

 

 

Saturn in the Twelfth House

 

(The Shadow)

 

You may sense that “something” is following you–that things are left unfinished for you to complete.  It may be that you ARE responsible for some of your problems, but your attitude may account for much of your frustration.  Though you feel like isolating yourself, you are leaving a gap by doing so.  Fill it with a resolve to come out of yourself to view the world around you, as others see it.  It is indeed a beautiful place to live.

 

 

Uranus in Libra

 

(The Bohemian)

 

You have artistic talent and appreciate modern, as well as traditional forms.  You are intelligent, ambitious and determined, but may change your goals too often. Your creative imagination and intuitive gifts blend well.  Relationships are trying, as you choose unlikely companions.  You make enemies because of unusual ideas, independence and your caustic wit. Once your efforts are channeled, you may attract opportunities that will lead to the success you have dreamed of.

 

 

Uranus in the Third House

 

(The Chameleon)

 

Your ingenious mind keeps you alert to pressures to adapt yourself to your surroundings and find ways of fitting in. Life is an adventure with new ways open at every turn of the road.  You are like an explorer, never denying that anything is possible and delighted to discover the unusual.  You may lack a basic security, but get the most out of staying flexible–a perpetual student, open to new experiences as part of your development, that keep you young at heart.

 

 

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 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 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 Third House

 

(The Dominator)

 

You regard life seriously, questioning yourself and others at every turn and disdaining the frailty of human existence.  Frivolity seems without value and your uncommon powers of concentration make you impervious to pleasurable distraction.  You may impose your will on co-workers and relatives; then criticize their inability  to cope.  If you are inflexible, you may build a wall that prevents sharing your life and become a prisoner of your own design.

 

 

Taurus Midheaven

 

You will do best in a career that offers steady growth, a career in which you can study what works and then be the one to provide stability and direction for the organization.  As long as you are earning a good income, enjoy positive relations with your coworkers, and have a little beauty where you work, you will be content to work quietly.  You are unlikely to push for change or to be combative in the workplace, unless someone affronts your pride.

 

You are good at cultivating relations with people, as opposed to things, and will extend yourself to others in the workplace. Your network of personal connections and inside knowledge, gained over time, makes you quite a resourceful employee.   You have faith in common sense and the existing order.  Change throws you off-balance.  If you are emotionally stressed, you may regard acquiring material possessions to be some sort of solution, which it is not.  You could also become surprisingly stubbon and vocal in your displeasure.  Remember that you have developed many resources.  Concentrate upon cultivating and using them for the common good.

 

Occupations consistent with your stable, practical style of work include official, executive, artist, singer, musician, designer, beautician, banker, business investor, property manager, farmer, stockbreeder, evangelist, advertiser, builder or public servant.  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 Venus, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Sagittarius

 

(The Fence Sitter)

 

You are afraid to make choices that may put you in the wrong.  Until you voice an opinion or convictions that are yours alone, you will not have earned the independence you desire.  Experience teaches that conflict often results from indifference.  Restore others’ confidence by repairing breaks in links of faith with the solder of concern and wisdom.

 

 

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 opposite Jupiter  (Strength:  5.69)

 

(The Indulgent)

 

No one really wants to disturb your “head in the sand” attitude of dealing with reality because you are so likable and easygoing.  Your worst habits of overspending, overeating or imbibing in things that are generally not good for you will eventually take their toll.  That you encourage others to follow suit is inevitable.  Exercise enough self-criticism and discipline to assure that you and they are not self-decimating or found wanting when the rent is due.

 

 

Mercury square Saturn  (Strength:  5.48)

 

(The Immovable)

 

You see self-containment and a stoic ability to survive as virtues.  However, you are apt to lack communication skills which could expand your horizons and save you from feeling isolated from the friendship you crave.  Your sense of responsibility is admirable, but you cannot expect others to accept your over-critical, pessimistic attitudes, whether you mean to project them or not.  Add flexibility and a sense-of-humor for better balance in your seemingly lackluster life.

 

 

Moon inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  3.94)

 

(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.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.12)

 

(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 Pluto  (Strength:  2.75)

 

(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.

 

 

Venus square Neptune  (Strength:  2.01)

 

(The Hero-worshiper)

 

Your sense of the dramatic and a bent towards illusion can lead you to project more into a relationship than exists.  You may fasten your affections on a rich or famous person.  Or, you may live beyond your means keeping up with the “Joneses.” Your refusal to accept reality can reduce you to financial or emotional bankruptcy if you insist on living on fantasy. Your lively imagination can bring you admiration for creative efforts, if you turn your energy into developing them.

 

 

Moon conjunct Mercury  (Strength:  1.81)

 

(The Vacillator)

 

It is difficult for you to make a lasting decision.  You may change your mind suddenly and often after having “second thoughts.”  You are apt to act emotionally and are influenced by mood swings rather than logic.  At times, you are overwhelmed by inconsequential ideas that have no bearing on problems of the moment.  But, you are able to express your feelings readily and can ask for good advice to help you follow through successfully on matters of importance.

 

 

Moon conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  1.76)

 

(The Compulsive)

 

Experience can be a valuable, if expensive teacher, and is your proving ground, no matter your age.  With your intensity of purpose, you can be in over your head before you know it.  Relationships can be confusing and must be significant or you won’t be interested.  A desire for “one-upmanship” can tempt you to manipulate others, but remember, the one who decides to stop the game usually wins. Try to understand your feelings to put things in perspective.

 

 

Jupiter square Neptune  (Strength:  1.70)

 

(The Converter)

 

Others may resist your attempts to better conditions through faith, hope and charity.  But, that will not destroy your belief that humanity merits improving.  You must prove yourself and your convictions if you are to win supporters of your compassionate causes.  Appearances can be deceiving.  Be sure that those who receive your generosity are worth your concern.  Your opponents may not always be aboveboard.  Try to discern who is really on your side and willing to help.

 

 

Moon square Saturn  (Strength:  1.29)

 

(The Lonely)

 

You may be depressed because you feel isolated and take the blame for your plight, but not know how to solve the problem. “Burying” yourself in work or other distractions is not going to satisfy you.  Relationships often mean chancing rejection, but if you hesitate to brave a possible loss of pride, you will also deny an opportunity for fulfillment.  By repressing feelings, you may find that you are denying expressions which can then emerge in a destructive way.

 

 

Moon sextile Neptune  (Strength:  0.64)

 

(The Perceptive)

 

Your senses are highly evolved so that you feel the “vibrations” of others.  You may also see colors, or “auras,” but unless you cultivate these gifts carefully, they may turn against you as delusions.  Avoid those who project negativity or it can infiltrate your character and weaken your gifts. Unless your abilities are recognized and encouraged, you will eventually become afraid of them or lose them altogether, as they need positive development to take full advantage.

 

 

Jupiter trine Saturn  (Strength:  0.23)

 

(The Shrewd)

 

Little escapes your notice, and you believe in giving the same attention to details as to the larger picture.  You realize your potential and are realistic in your ability to achieve your goals.  You can make-do with little or manipulate your investments and holdings to advantage.  You seldom shirk responsibility and try to do what is expected of you, even if it means going an “extra mile.”  With your willingness to learn as you earn, you have e

very chance for success.

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

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.

 

 

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 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.

 

 

Abundant Substance

 

With abundant planets in the houses of substance, you know your place in the material world.  You know how to extract value and give value via your business, work, and career activities.  The rules of the world come easily to you.  Others admire and depend on your hard work and practical nature.  If you get depressed, make time for recreation and family.

 

 

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.

 

 

Abundant Cardinal

 

With an abundance of planets in the Cardinal signs, you find it easy to function on your own as an autonomous individual.  You have a pretty good grasp of how the real world works, which you may have acquired through your willingness to try new things.  An active person, you find challenges stimulating.  Success comes through big ventures that others are too intimidated to attempt.  You would make a good entrepreneur, but look for other indications in your chart to see if you have the qualities needed to stay with a project or grow a business.  You’re not really a team player.  You are likely to encounter some problems in your life as a result of being so one-sidedly focused on your own goals and activities.  But you are good at overcoming problems.  Personal survival is important to you and you are capable of learning.  You manifest your love through a lack of fear that makes the future happen.
