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

 

 

Sun in Gemini

 

(Keynote:  I THINK)

 

You are idealistic, witty, charming, inventive and active, as well as being undependable, nervous, restless and fragmented.  Your curious mind leaves few stones unturned, for you love to explore.  You are able to teach others what you have learned, and often improved upon.  Your unpredictability and uncanny intuition stimulates the imagination of your friends; you enjoy the stir you create in social settings.  You lose chances by trading commitment for superficiality. Your flexibility should allow you to choose any partner and turn the thrill of a moment into a lifetime of significance.

 

 

 

Moon in Gemini

 

(The Vigorous)

 

You can live by your wits and talk your way in and/or out of a situation quickly.  You assume whatever image is expected, to your advantage, but can be tempted to deceive others.  These qualities fit you to be a versatile actor or in some profession that requires lively debate, i.e. an attorney, or a politician.  You are as good with your hands as your mind, but lack the perseverance to tackle a job that requires stick-to-itiveness.  If you sight a goal and channel your remarkable mental abilities, you can employ the discipline necessary to accomplish it in record time.

 

 

Mercury in Gemini

 

(The Versatile)

 

Your geniality plus a sense-of-humor contributes to social graces that make you a welcome addition to any group.  Your lack of patience encourages you to store trivia instead of knowledge, while limited concentration makes you an uncertain student.  You usually accept people at face value; since you are more interested in quantity rather than the quality of companions, you enjoy changing relationships often, but pride yourself on “never losing a friend.”

 

 

Venus in Gemini

 

(The Inconstant)

 

Your sense of humor is infectious and your charm undeniable.  You are a born traveler and appeal to a wide variety of people with whom you share your multiple talents. Commitment in relationships is as difficult as staying with one job, unless you are the “boss.”  Whether formally-educated or not, you have a wealth of knowledge to share and a way of expressing yourself that is entirely captivating.  One can almost forgive you for being a “world-class flirt!”

 

 

Mars in Pisces

 

(The Indeterminate)

 

You put much of your energy into working for social reforms or human rights.  While you are unusually focused in your endeavors, you give little thought to personal needs. You will do better for others if your life is in balance. Ambivalence, indecision, procrastination and duality create conflicts that need revision and structure.  Acknowledge your value and allow yourself freedom to grow as a reward for the charity you so generously extend to others.

 

 

Jupiter in Taurus

 

(The Show-off)

 

You can be too extravagant because of your love of luxury, but if you choose to spend your hard-earned money, who’s to say it’s not your privilege?  You can be too aggressive in getting what you want and too stubborn to change your mind after you get it.  Again, since you are a super-achiever, who can criticize you for doing things your way?

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Sun conjunct Mercury  (Strength:  6.16)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon square Mars  (Strength:  6.12)

 

(The Threatened)

 

You are sensitive in the extreme and may fly off the handle irrationally.  Anxieties can obscure your ability to concentrate, and make you accident-prone, so extra effort towards developing a conscious awareness is advisable.  If you are a victim of insecurities, look for counseling or ways to quiet your fears that will establish a bulwark similar to that of followers of Zen Buddhism.  Retreat within to a place of tranquility until control is established and peace restored.

 

 

Sun conjunct Venus  (Strength:  5.88)

 

(The Socialite)

 

You are refined and cultured with a love of the arts and beautiful things.  Because a day without fun is depressing, you make yourself attractive and available and are usually where something entertaining is going on.  You can become self-indulgent and conceited, believing money and looks will take you farther than is reasonable, but when you see that “Pretty is as Pretty does,” will try to develop inner qualities to complement the glamorous image you project.

 

 

Mercury conjunct Venus  (Strength:  5.72)

 

(The Considerate)

 

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

 

 

Saturn conjunct Uranus  (Strength:  5.56)

 

(The Shake-up)

 

You may think that you know what you want, but are subject to sudden upsets or unexpected events that cause you to change your mind or alter your behavior.  No one is more surprised than you when you are impetuously driven to throw everything out of your closet, for instance, or have a garage sale with the living room furniture.  Your need for change may require getting rid of “dead wood,” but try to curb a tendency to burn all your bridges as you clear your decks for action.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  3.15)

 

(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 trine Pluto  (Strength:  2.26)

 

(The Renewer)

 

As an instrument in the progress of mankind, you may taste fame, and even fortune, depending on where and how you direct your powerful energies.  If you know yourself well, you can identify with the needs of others and use your formidable drive to benefit society as a leader.  If motivated by selfishness, you may receive some satisfaction from personal gain but will sacrifice the true distinction of contributing to the universe on the altar of prideful self-esteem.

 

 

Mars conjunct North Node  (Strength:  1.41)

 

(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 opposite Uranus  (Strength:  0.56)

 

(The Destroyer)

 

Outside influences may lead you to believe that upsets are inevitable.  In reality, unexpressed feelings result in tensions you find it difficult to acknowledge.  You may not recognize any pace but “fast-forward,” and ignore a need to “relax and enjoy.”  Running away is not an answer to problems.  Interactions with partners can indicate how you relate to the universe.  You are a unique individual who can invent the ways and means necessary to align yourself with the cosmos.

 

 

Sun opposite Saturn  (Strength:  0.12)

 

(The Jinxed)

 

You may feel “unlucky” because you are engulfed by outside circumstances.  It is difficult for you to express your opinions or feelings to others who neither sympathize with nor understand you.  You are easily discouraged.  Use your inherent honesty to separate yourself from the idea that you are being “picked on.”  Communication is the key to relief from your depression.  You have many fine qualities and must find a way to put them across to your oppressors.

 

 

 

 

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 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.

 

 

Lack of Water
