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

 

 

Taurus Ascendant

 

(The Steadfast)

 

There is a look of substance about you.  Others admire your thick hair, which may be curly or wavy.  Though slow to anger, you may use force to defend yourself when aroused.  You are resolutely stubborn, and generous beyond your means, to the point of being foolish.  Others value your friendship and you are a welcome guest.  You would rather be a “boss” than an employee, but will always give your best to a job, because you don’t know how to do anything “half-way.”

 

 

 

Sun in Leo

 

(Keynote: I WILL)

 

You are passionate, sincere, generous, courageous and loyal.  You may also be demanding, possessive, jealous and intolerant.  You are a champion of causes and defender of the helpless in time of need — the stuff of which heroes are made.  You resist accepting second-best of anything.  You are at your best when given dramatic license to take center-stage, with all eyes upon you.  Your word is your bond, but you can be unreasonable if things don’t go your way.  Try not to confuse the courage of your convictions with inordinate stubbornness, which is usually the source of your downfall.

 

 

Sun in the Fourth House

 

(The Favorite)

 

You will probably think of your childhood as a happy time and relate well to your parents. Part of your attitude is because you take responsibility for your siblings, who look to you for counseling, as well as creating the fun and games of which all children are fond.  Because of your closeness, you may rely too much upon one another and have few outside contacts, but you’ll regard close friends as family and entertain in your home.  If you need psychological counseling at some time, you’ll easily recall early experiences to which a therapist can relate and discover the root of your problems.

 

 

 

Moon in Sagittarius

 

(The Prophet)

 

You have a gift of farsightedness, which lets you see an entire picture instead of fragments available to others.  You amaze yourself at what your mind can conceive and often achieve with little effort, as though you were born to succeed.  You are open and frank, and for the most part, kind, but your thoughtless remarks can leave a wrong impression or create enemies.  A need for physical activity should not be ignored.  Otherwise, you can suffer “burn out” from too many mental gyrations, which will throw your balance and make you less efficient in your rush to attain your ambitions.

 

 

Moon in the Seventh House

 

(The Searcher)

 

You may never feel complete after you leave the mother-influence until you find a life-partner who fits OR is the opposite of her image.  This will depend on the positive or negative programming you received in childhood.  If you select a partner in business, you will choose someone as shrewd as yourself.  You may enter any partnership when you are nudged by gut-feelings too intense to be denied, or dissolved when conflicts are too dangerous to be ignored.

 

 

Mercury in Cancer

 

(The Parent)

 

Your remarkable intuition lets you see the vulnerability of your fellow man, but it may be somewhat narrow in concept. You often depend more upon feelings than rationale to treat issues in an appropriate manner.  You may tend to relive childhood experiences, which can make you moody and sometimes reclusive, if the recall is painful.  Rather than retreat, learn from experience and consider the consequences of present actions as they may affect your future.

 

 

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 Leo

 

(The Extravagant)

 

Your infatuation with luxury prods you towards compulsive buying.  You enjoy lavishing expensive gifts, dining or theater-going whether you can afford it or not.  If you cannot manage the lifestyle you covet, you may try to create an illusion of opulence as a fantasy world of your own and discover gifts as a decorator or designer.  Consider finding a way to utilize your talents in some form of theater that will attract the attention and plaudits you relish.

 

 

Venus in the Fourth House

 

(The Peacemaker)

 

You express your desire for tranquility through the beauty you create.  Your home will reflect your excellent taste, but you tend to extravagance.  You have a talent to transform your surroundings, no matter how humble they seem.  If you choose a career in gardening, decorating, or caring for beautiful things, it will pay you well as you continue to demonstrate your special abilities to a sometimes-dreary world.

 

 

Mars in Gemini

 

(The Lecturer)

 

You are a powerful speaker, able to influence others and sway them to your views.  As a teacher, you convince students to do things “your way,” though you may change your methods as often as you change your mind.  If you scatter your energies, you can fail to complete what you have started and accomplish nothing.  Learn early to think before you speak and hone your ability to concentrate.  Otherwise, your knowledge may appear superficial and your ideas not worth exploring.

 

 

Mars in the First House

 

(The General)

 

You’ll be aware from the time you’re born of the tremendous power you hold.  No task is too great for your dynamic energy to challenge.  However, before congratulating yourself, you must recognize you are impulsive, and sometimes lack the patience to finish what you start.  Your enormous ego drive will demand you assume responsibility for the actions in your life.  Slow down long enough to ask: “How will my choices affect others?  Is the result worth the effort?”

 

 

Jupiter in Sagittarius

 

(The Philosopher)

 

You are a student of life and gain your highest learning through experience, but can also expand your knowledge in metaphysical studies.  Your optimism and faith in humanity make you responsible for lighting and passing an eternal flame of wisdom to successive generations, where it will multiply a thousand times with every life it touches.

 

 

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 Capricorn

 

(The Controller)

 

Ambition motivates you to achieve your goals “no matter what!”  It is your belief in your executive qualities of perseverance and discipline that will get you to the top and determination that will keep you there.  Your relationships often take a back seat to your achievements, but man cannot live by bread, alone.  Do not take yourself so seriously that you fail to permit the sweetness of the outside world to intrude, however briefly, in your somewhat solitary life.

 

 

Saturn in the Ninth House

 

(The Thinker)

 

You probably have the self-confidence usually born of long experience, no matter your age.  Your powers of concentration enable you to absorb the essentials of life in great chunks.  A career in law may satisfy your sense of justice.  However, inherent knowledge may preclude the experience to utilize it.  If your viewpoint seems narrow, look for ways to augment it.  Like the Bluebird, you may find them waiting in your own back yard.

 

 

Uranus in Leo

 

(The Trend-setter)

 

You are first to volunteer, to explore, to introduce, to accept and to BE first in everything.  You enjoy standing in the limelight as someone creatively innovative.  But, you will not be content to perform; you are driven to take your place in an executive position that will distinguish you from your peers.  You attract off-beat people and situations.  Be sure to know who you are inviting into your life to avoid the unhappy pitfalls of impulsively-formed alliances.

 

 

Uranus in the Fourth House

 

(The Nomad)

 

You may be constantly on the move, change your home often, or be a disruptive force in the home.  Certainly, your home will be “different” in some manner. If you are instrumental in creating it, you will choose modern, innovative designs and decorations or select an unusual site to build upon.  Your environs will reflect your personality, and you may alter it as your consciousness changes.  In short, your home is an outward expression of your inner being.

 

 

Neptune in Scorpio

 

(The Initiator)

 

You take great delight in other people’s secrets and may use them to advantage. If you have information that needs disclosure for the benefit of others, you may expose it in a subtle, but effective way.  You may also use your knowledge to promote a principle or public figures while working behind the scenes.  A leaning towards self-indulgence needs careful monitoring so that your strength is not used in abusive ways, but as a benefactor who prefers to remain anonymous.

 

 

Neptune in the Sixth House

 

(The Sensitive)

 

You may suffer allergies or dietary problems that are difficult to diagnose from early childhood.  You must be careful about ingesting drugs, even if they are prescribed by a physician.  A tender heart may lead you to work for those less fortunate than yourself, either as a career, or an act of charity.  Those who oppose you as “too good to be true” are envious of the satisfaction derived from your unselfish service.  Ignore them and enjoy your good works.

 

 

Pluto in Virgo

 

(The Restorers)

 

You have a rare opportunity of renovating the world in carefully-structured channels when the environment seems at its lowest ebb.  Drugs, disease, addictions and crime will no longer be tolerated.  You will have a major part in seeing that justice is done.  Law-makers, and those who execute the law will be among your peers, as well as some who are willing to educate those who truly desire self-improvement as their contribution to elevate mankind.

 

 

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.

 

 

Aquarius Midheaven

 

You will flourish best in a career that takes advantage of your inventiveness and originality.  You have a need to be unconventional and different.  You see your career field from a refreshingly independent perspective and make original contributions.  You don’t like working in a highly structured environment, so you often work as an independent free-lancer.  Driven to follow your inner light, others can consider your interests eccentric; you may treat them rudely.  But at your healthiest, you are also a humanitarian who contributes to civic causes and whose many career contacts make you an effective networker.

 

Your career can be based on ideas or on service to society.  To achieve your greatest success, you must dare to be your true, unique self.  More than others, you understand Joseph Campbell’s advice, “follow your bliss.”  Working out your ideas on your own, you can produce results that will benefit humanity.  Pitfalls to be overcome include selfishness, pride, and the desire for power.  You may originate numerous ideas, but forget them soon after conception.  Scientific objectivity carried to the extreme could make you cold, impersonal, or arrogant.  Do not allow yourself to become isolated, but stay in touch with those on whose behalf you are laboring.

 

Occupations consistent with your unusual, independent style of work include entertainer, literary personality, athlete, educator, inventor, occultist, astrologer, social worker, social scientist, vocational counselor, personnel specialist, benevolent or fraternal society administrator, conference organizer, or strategist.  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 Uranus, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Virgo

 

(The Pushover)

 

Your tender heart is on your sleeve, welcoming those who would take advantage.  Experience will grant you the knowledge that if you assume all burdens presented by the weak, they become weaker.  As you become discerning, you will utilize your ability to help others without damaging your potential and no longer assume self-sacrifice as a way of life.

 

 

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 Uranus  (Strength:  5.53)

 

(The Unsteady)

 

Many of your relationships are formed impulsively and are not of long duration.  You thrive on excitement and change partners easily.  Your friendships depend on the exhilaration of a new experience and a certain flexibility that allows you to be creative and innovative.  If the time comes when you desire stability, you must make a genuine effort to fasten on the rewards of commitment and value them above your desire for variety and the independence you have demanded and enjoyed.

 

 

Moon opposite Mars  (Strength:  4.98)

 

(The Untenable)

 

You ride an emotional see-saw which is difficult to control, particularly in personal relationships.  You may have trouble relating to women as a result of childhood programming by a mother-figure.  Your emotions can provoke involuntary tantrums that may prove embarrassing.  Try to develop a tolerance for others since you are not essentially a “loner.” You need people in your life who may help you to mature as a calmer individual, capable of leadership instead of tyranny.

 

 

Moon square Pluto  (Strength:  4.32)

 

(The Durable)

 

Constant challenges for change control your deepest feelings because your emotional turbulence can be destructive. Power struggles with others indicate power struggles within yourself which must be brought to light for resolution. Sometimes you will be attracted to that which is absolutely wrong for you but will pursue it anyway to your detriment. Recognize your difficulties as opportunities for evolvement.  You have more than adequate fortitude to survive and benefit.

 

 

Sun square Neptune  (Strength:  3.50)

 

(The Disoriented)

 

You may feel “lost.”  Misdirection in your life can result in repeated defeats and feelings of inadequacy.   Energy drops may be frequent so that you “never really feel good.”  You are at the center of your problems, so you, alone, hold the solutions.  It is not easy to reprogram for success, but begin by building resources in both body and mind.  Your idealism will encourage you to continue to believe that “life is what you make it” and can be beautiful, indeed.

 

 

Venus trine Jupiter  (Strength:  2.83)

 

(The Contented)

 

You are happy with who you are, where you are and what you are, so are pleasantly agreeable as a friend or social companion.  The only thing that may prevent you from becoming rich and/or famous is your tendency to take it easy and your belief that tomorrow will take care of itself.  This may or not be true, but you will never know if you don’t summon the energy to round a corner and see for yourself how you may enhance your dreams and bring them to fruition.

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  2.55)

 

(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.”

 

 

Jupiter trine Uranus  (Strength:  2.36)

 

(The Favored)

 

You are blessed with unexpected opportunities that seem to materialize from nowhere.  But, unless you are quick to take advantage, they may vanish like smoke from a Genie’s lamp.  Fortunately, you enjoy or will create the necessary freedom to accept any bounty that comes your way.  If it involves change, your pleasure is doubled.  You are ready to grow, expand and, when given the chance, develop the ability to fly towards your fortune with the wind at your back!

 

 

Mars square Pluto  (Strength:  1.14)

 

(The Imperious)

 

You may trip over your ego as you determine your goals and act in your own behalf to the exclusion of others.  You are aware of strength and unusual power to confront the world, but if you force your way rather than prove your worth, you are sure to attract power struggles which will impede your progress.  Question your values in your rise to success to discover whether you are acting and reacting from vanity or a genuine desire to improve your position through hard work.

 

 

Mars conjunct Ascendant  (Strength:  0.81)

 

(The Impetuous)

 

Your needs are very personal and may reflect your impatience to “get it yesterday!”   You are self-motivated and trigger your own success.  Don’t ignore the value of structure, which is as important as your ability to “get there first with the most.”  You can enlist others in your cause, but must decide whether they are good for a climb, or may fall by the wayside and deter your progress.  It may be better to play the executive and administer from the top of the heap!

 

 

Sun inconjunct Saturn  (Strength:  0.62)

 

(The Learner)

 

You, of all people, can profit from this usually self-defeating aspect, if only you make an effort to overcome your propensity for self-pity.  The attitude you project is all-important if you expect partners to support your ideas.  Your depressions can bring others down, too.  Concentrate on getting the inner self out of the way so you can contribute the practical results of lessons you have learned the hard way to a world in need of your innate qualities of practicality.

 

 

Mercury inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  0.20)

 

(The Blind-spot)

 

You may be so intent on impressing others with your grandiose ideas that you fail to see your own shortcomings.  If you preach philosophical concepts, be sure that you adhere to the rules you set for others.  Or, you may be easily flattered and led to attempt more than you can handle.  It is unlikely that you will over-do periods of self-examination, or deal harshly with your faults.  Take an inward look before embarking on the outward leap that may lead to your downfall.

 

 

 

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Fire

 

You are an active, future-oriented person who is not weighed down by past commitments.  You take advantage of new opportunities better than most.  Life for you can be a vibrant affair in which you passionately pursue causes, lovers, and experiences.  You have the self-confidence to be a leader.  Competitive and flamboyant, you have little patience for slow people or unexciting work.  When an activity interests you, you can be very generous with your time, energy, and money.  Find outlets for your gifts of creativity and intuition.

 

Watch out for a tendency to exaggerate or to be insensitive to others’ feelings.  More cautious types may envy and resent your free spirit and competitive nature.  You get bored easily and may depend on others to finish the projects that you start.  When your warmth is guided by love, wisdom, and positive goals you have the ability to heal and inspire others, but when you focus on your self or lack direction, your short-lived passions can affect others in destructive ways.

 

 

Lack of Air

 

Expressing yourself does not come easily to you.  You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers.  It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking.  If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked.  Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational.  With the mind’s normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience.  Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.

 

Try to see life less personally, in a more objective way.  Take classes and never stop educating yourself.

 

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

 

 

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.

 

 

Abundant Endings

 

With abundant planets in the houses of endings, you are probably sensitive, moody, and introspective.  You are not afraid to show your feelings and make an empathetic listener to the problems and feelings of others.  You have been around the track enough yourself to sense what others are going through and to show that you care.  You are not the most intellectual or practical person.  You can be easily swayed by an appeal to your emotions.

 

 

Lack of Substance

 

You are not the most grounded or practical person.  The rules of this material world are not well known to you.  Others may admire your dreams, but they could be impossible dreams.  You may find it difficult to choose, plan, and work towards a career or vocation.

 

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

 

 

Abundant 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.
