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

 

 

Gemini Ascendant

 

(The Impulsive)

 

Youthful qualities are yours for life.  Your quick step and darting eyes are unmistakable, and you often have a quizzical look.  Your ability to do more than one thing at a time may seem fragmented, but it gives you “one-upmanship” in arguments or negotiations.  You may shift friendships or change goals on the spur-of-the-moment.  Others forgive your fickleness because your quick wit and charm are hard to resist.  You know how to use your talents to advantage.

 

 

 

Sun in Scorpio

 

(Keynote:  I DESIRE)

 

You are resourceful, imaginative, sensitive and loyal, but are capable of being cruel, conniving, sarcastic and vengeful.  Your incisive mind gives you powers of decision that are irrefutable.  You are adept at gaining the confidence of others, though few people know you well.  You will fight for your beliefs against any odds.  Your regenerative qualities give you quick recovery from defeat or illness.  If you share these gifts wisely, benefits to mankind will be your monument.  Otherwise, you will have only destruction and waste to show for your corruption of power over a lifetime of abuse.

 

 

Sun in the Fifth House

 

(The Artist)

 

You’ll get the most out of every moment, because you devote your energy to things that will make you personally happy.  If you can involve others in your activities, you expect that you will double your pleasure.  Friends may think you impractical because you extend your “Good-time Charlie” philosophy into your work, often choosing a career in the arts which allows you freedom to indulge your bent for fantasy.  You prefer relationships that are “fun,” but your devil-may-care attitude may preclude settling into a committed partnership.  Your motto is:  “Do your best, but be yourself!”

 

 

 

Moon in Cancer

 

(The Homemaker)

 

You identify with your heredity, which you probably revere.  If you compare your environment with that of your early years, or romanticize your childhood out of proportion, it will be difficult to establish a life of your own away from familiar surroundings.  Because you sympathize with others, you feel justified in “crying on their shoulders,” but must realize some do not share your protective feelings.  Your home must be emotionally satisfying.  You will probably be a good parent, but may be overly-strict, as if you were responsible for a child’s actions as an adult, which still reflect on you.

 

 

Moon in the Second House

 

(The Collector)

 

You may take some time to settle into a job.  Bank a portion of your paycheck — even ask someone to manage your money for you.  Otherwise you may become a compulsive spender, gathering possessions which may substitute for emotional needs.  Going it alone, you may identify too closely with your possessions.  In choosing a partner, it should be a person who is appreciative of your spiritual, as well as material growth and is willing to contribute and grow with you.

 

 

Mercury in Scorpio

 

(The Detective)

 

You are a master at exposing secrets, but allow others to know only what you wish to disclose.  In solving problems, you have no peer.  Your stubborn determination will not let you rest until you are satisfied with results you personally approve.  You speak forcefully, and sometimes sarcastically, not always to your credit.  You may explore the occult or mind control.  Only the highly evolved realize that such power is a privilege, not a given, and use it wisely.

 

 

Mercury in the Sixth House

 

(The Doctor)

 

An early interest in health may promote a career in healing arts, which may or not be in a conventional mode.  Intuitive insights can lead to natural cures or dietary aids, often discovered through personal need.  Charitable work is almost inevitable.  Your dedication, inventiveness and analytical qualities make you a welcome asset to any team of your peers.  You have the ability to be a true scientist who is equal to the most demanding challenge.

 

 

Venus in Libra

 

(The Pleasure-seeker)

 

You enter the world confidently, waiting for the ball to begin.  You expect good in everything so form attachments quickly, often based on superficial impressions. You are unprepared for the disillusionments you experience.  Since you dislike hurting the feelings of others, you make every effort to fit into plans or circumstances you would not choose.  You ask for little; only opportunity to promote the peace and harmony you are convinced that all should enjoy.

 

 

Venus in the Fifth House

 

(The Butterfly)

 

You possess fairy-gifts:  Beauty, popularity — even riches and fame, but they are as fickle as you, yourself, are capable of being.  Don’t take your charmed existence for granted. Make the most of your talents by applying them productively.  The lessons of your life may not be laughed off as easily as the jealousy you inevitably attract.  If you try, you will find yourself in the rags of disappointment, unknown to you when you were the Belle of the Ball!

 

 

Mars in Leo

 

(The Grandee)

 

You recognize your potential and will find creative ways of enlisting the aid of those who can promote your success. If there is risk involved in your rise, you will enjoy the adventure, but may suffer the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.”  You share your victories, but conceit can cost you needed support.  You may also be too quick to invite love affairs which go nowhere, but will waste your time and damage your ego.  Take your time.  You deserve the best.

 

 

Mars in the Second House

 

(The Moneymaker)

 

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

 

 

Jupiter in Cancer

 

(The Weight-watcher)

 

You may attract and absorb too much of a good thing, if you are a gourmet cook, or take the world’s burdens on your sympathetic shoulders.  Your acumen in business is unquestioned, but without someone to share your triumphs, you become disconsolate.  What you do for others is done from love; a day without friends is indeed a day without sunshine.

 

 

Jupiter in the First House

 

(The Bon Vivant)

 

You love life and life loves you right back!  People enjoy your company, and you have plenty of it.  Your confidence inspires confidence and your very presence is a lift to the spirits.  If you exaggerate truth, it’s only because you are expansive by nature and if something is good, you want to make it better — and, you usually do!

 

 

Saturn in Leo

 

(The Haughty)

 

You may have trouble in sharing all the love you have to give or finding the love you crave, and so allow an “I don’t care” attitude to become a mask, under which you hide your true feelings.  You can also substitute imperiousness for emotional rapport and again deny your basic needs.  Try to go with the world instead of against it.  You may find a way to turn your negatives positive and enjoy the spin instead of just becoming dizzy and wanting to get off.

 

 

Saturn in the Third House

 

(The Pessimist)

 

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

 

 

Uranus in 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 Fifth House

 

(The Child)

 

You are always in search of amusement of a “different” kind, and may originate innovative games.  No matter your age, children find you fascinating and accept you readily.  Your own children may be as full of surprises as you, yourself. Because of your many facets, you project whatever image you desire, with the skill of an actor.  You may fall in and out of love easily because of your lack of commitment.  A desire for too much freedom can result in a lonely future.

 

 

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 Seventh House

 

(The Idolater)

 

You find it difficult to define the “whys” and “wherefores” of relationships and may question why you have come together.  It is usually “something” inside that tells you a partner is your soul-mate — that you were fated to be together, and are on the same spiritual level, which may or may not be true.  You may go into business with or marry your best friend, which is not a bad idea.  It is important that you know someone well before making a commitment.

 

 

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 Fifth House

 

(The Extremist)

 

You season your life with a heavy hand and tend to exaggerate conditions.  In your many love affairs, you will feel that each is “the one” and may cling to an ideal past the time when reality should govern your actions.  You may also invite power struggles by insisting that your way is the only way and your truth the only truth.  But, one thing must be said:  Your enthusiasm for living is unquestioned and you get the most out of every emotion-charged moment.

 

 

Pisces Midheaven

 

You would be happiest in a career area that allows you to express compassion and emotional sensitivity.  You feel deeply and are good at intuiting the needs of others.  You are emotionally adaptable and can be an agent for change.  You feel the call of the infinite and can express drama or mystery in your work.  You see so much of the whole that it is difficult to confine yourself to practical realities.

 

You lend your efforts to any project that seeks to care for and heal the broken and suffering, such as hospitals, missions, charities, hotlines, pet shops, or kennels.  You may comfort others by introducing beauty into their world in the form of art or music.  If you work for government or the church, it is not for security but in order to serve.  At your highest, you do not fear death because you are not focused on the self.  When you do focus on the self your lack of groundedness can plague you with nameless fears.  Adaptability can become superficial novelty seeking.  You could become addicted to drugs or alcohol.  Hypersensitivity to hurts or insults (some imagined) could propel you into a pillowy fantasy world in which you are not a healer but a parasite.  A personality that began as merely colorful could become scandalous.  If you are going to sacrifice yourself, at least you could do so in a constructive way.  Educate yourself to make wise judgments, prefer service to sensation, and pursue your dream with faith and confidence.

 

Occupations consistent with your sympathetic style of work include doctor, nurse, therapist, caretaker, musician, composer, poet, artist, entertainer, film maker, psychiatrist, spiritualist, psychic, marketer, advertiser, pharmacist, vintner, crusader, reformer, or philanthropist.  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 Neptune, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Libra

 

(The Selfless)

 

You will not understand why others are promoted while you are passed by.  You must change an attitude that the world revolves around you.  Jealousy or resentment depletes your strength which should be used, not for your purposes alone, but to do for others what they cannot do.  You will acquire the stature you long for by balancing your needs with others.

 

 

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

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  5.65)

 

(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.”

 

 

Sun conjunct Uranus  (Strength:  5.29)

 

(The Precarious)

 

You are constantly trying to express as an individual, sometimes before you are entitled to an opinion.  Others may regard you as “disruptive” rather than “unique,” and a “rebel” rather than an “innovator.”  But, some admire your liveliness, which serves to keep your life and the lives of others from the ruts of boredom.  Like Ben Franklin, you must harness the electricity you generate without allowing it to destroy you in the process.

 

 

Pluto conjunct North Node  (Strength:  4.58)

 

(The Force)

 

There is no doubt as to how you feel or where you stand.  Friends revere you.  Adversaries honor your determination, drive, and ability to see the best and worst at a glance.  You may be tempted to achieve by subversion, but would be wiser to learn the truths of karmic law:  You must suffer the fate you decree for others.  All are part of the same plan.  Blend the sharp blacks and whites of your life into a gray area — a neutral ground on which to meet your fellow man.

 

 

Sun trine Jupiter  (Strength:  2.71)

 

(The Benefic)

 

You lay claim to everything life has to offer and then use your creativity to find ways of inventing “more.”  Coupled with an inner-confidence that you can do anything, you may attain more than even you envision.  Still, you cannot rely on “luck” to fulfill your potential, and must provide the energy necessary for success.  Yours is a life of spiritual as well as material growth.  Share your fortune with others if you would add satisfaction to your long list of achievements.

 

 

Moon square Venus  (Strength:  2.39)

 

(The Impassioned)

 

You are intent on romance, but may be too fervent to realize you are over-protective or possessive of your loved-one.  If you do not have a relationship, you will feel out of balance until you attract a partner, and will make every effort to do so.  Your feelings may stem from a parent-child affinity if you are sentimental about the marriage of your parents.  Be sure you are acting from real love more than sentiment or need if you consider entering a commitment.

 

 

Moon trine Mercury  (Strength:  1.01)

 

(The Synchronizer)

 

You are in touch with yourself and your needs which affords you a state of balance.   Because you are at peace, you are able to accomplish tasks with a minimum of bother, and express clearly and concisely so that others accept your ideas and grant your requests.  You may travel or communicate with people impulsively, because “something tells you” to do so. Flashes of this same intuition are useful in divining the needs of others and fulfilling them before you are asked.

 

 

Venus conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  0.26)

 

(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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Lack of Earth

 

You may be so focused on the “bigger picture” that you have difficulty managing the many details of life.  Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities.  Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them.  Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit.  If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it.  Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone.  You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it.  If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.

 

A lack of planets in Earth signs can be offset by an Earth sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Substance.

 

 

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.

 

 

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 Endings

 

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

 

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

 

 

Lack of Relationships

 

Relating to other people probably plays a minor role in your life.  You could remain unmarried, be a loner, or even be an orphan.  Your thinking is probably subjective or personal, without the objectivity that comes from having communicated with many people.  Let others teach you by showing you and if they give you any feedback on your thinking, see if you can learn from it.

 

A lack of planets in the houses of Relationships can be offset by abundant planets in Air signs.

 

 

Abundant Fixed

 

With an abundance of planets in Fixed signs, you have the staying power to complete a project, grow a family, or expand a business.  Your strength is what friends notice most about you.  You have definite values; you focus your affections on the people and things that are part of your team.  Friendships formed over time are important to you.  You may be found at the center of a circle of friends, a large family, a government agency, or a business.  You understand the contribution that stability and security make to prosperity and growth.  It throws you off-balance when friends are not as reliable as you are or when love and ideals are not part of your life.  Concentrate on developing confidence in yourself, a wholesome world for your family or group, and binding others to you with love.  If you have a weakness, it is trouble changing or listening when people tell you a better way to do things.  You can handle this weakness by empowering your team, as among them will be individuals who are good at reacting to a constantly changing world.

 

 

Lack of Mutable

 

With a lack of planets in the Mutable signs, you probably go your own way in life without caring too much what other people think.  You know what you want and see little need to compromise.  You lack flexibility and adaptability.  You do best when you can establish a pace and stick to it.  Leave those sports and activities that require fast reactions and adaptability to others.

 

Sometimes you say things that offend others, because you are not especially concerned with the feelings or opinions of others.  In fact, you sometimes appall your friends with your single-mindededness and lack of sensitivity.  Because of your individuality,  people who are attracted to change and variety may find you stimulating at first, but after a while might find your predictability to be boring.  This is unlikely to keep you from pursuing your path.  Your path involves being yourself and changing the world.  Just don’t insist that others be like you.

 

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