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

 

 

Virgo Ascendant

 

(The Meticulous)

 

One might think your eyes are your outstanding feature, since they reflect a twinkle that belies your careful nature.  But, you set your mouth in a straight line, when controlling your words, which is a dead giveaway.  Your flair for numbers helps you win at games that require more skill than luck.  Your dry sense of humor is an unexpected delight.  If only you could let down your reserve so that others could know you, you’d soon have more friends than an Aquarian!

 

 

 

Sun in Aries

 

(Keynote: I AM)

 

You are self-sufficient, self-motivated, and self-confident, but can be self-centered and self-destructive.  There is little that can deter you from your goals.  Your numerous friends are supportive and follow your lead.  But, you will make dangerous enemies if you are arrogant, conceited or selfish.  Then, you may reach your zenith but will have great difficulty in holding your position.  For all your self-reliance, partners are important to you.  Take others into your consideration or you will find your “top of the heap” as lonely and unfulfilling as you, yourself, have made it.

 

 

Sun in the Seventh House

 

(The Partner)

 

Partnerships will always take precedence in your life because of the power you give them.  You feel the need of another person to keep you in balance.  It is vital that you learn how to compromise your views to agree with those of other people.  Though you may be the primary agent in a relationship, at some time you may have to take a subordinate position.  If you are not prepared to do this, your pairing will suffer and may turn into an open conflict.  Partnership requires team effort.  Do your best to find solutions to problems that will benefit you both.

 

 

 

Moon in Virgo

 

(The Spartan)

 

Your outwardly-cool attitude may cause others to approach you with caution, and make friendship difficult.  You are capable of accomplishing a lot, with little to work with.  You are not particularly ambitious, but may over-emphasize your limitations.  A place in scientific research is possible, where your practical mind and attention to detail can be appreciated.  If you are too hard on yourself or others, you can destroy your chances for recognition of your excellent merits.  Digestive difficulties may occur if you fret obsessively with no outlet for your frustrations.

 

 

Moon in the Twelfth House

 

(The Isolationist)

 

You may be plagued by psychological problems originating with a mother-figure. You are hard on yourself and assume an oppressive responsibility for self-analysis because it is difficult for others to draw you out.  Your friends will not understand your moods nor the fact that you need to call upon restorative powers provided only by seclusion.  Depend on spiritual trust and your strong intuition to reveal what is demanded of you and how best to make payment.

 

 

Mercury in Aries

 

(The Quick Study)

 

You “catch on” fast, but are apt to drop ideas as swiftly as you conceive them.  Your assertive attitude may put off those who feel threatened by your ability to take charge.  You usually go with first impressions and will only change your mind reluctantly, if proven wrong.  Your famous temper may flare on occasion, but quarrels are quickly forgotten.  You are self-serving, express confidently, and only need to modify your actions to achieve the rewards you desire.

 

 

Mercury in the Seventh House

 

(The Acrobat)

 

You are definitely not a loner.  Your on-going love affair with words calls for the companionship of a partner to share your mental gymnastics.  Your friends will be innovative and clever, but your indecisiveness and an inclination to avoid serious commitment may prevent you from a conventional marriage.  Use your famous intuition to select an appropriate life-mate, while your carefree attitude is still admired as “charming,” rather than “childish.”

 

 

Venus in Taurus

 

(The Voluptuary)

 

You love comfort, luxury and things that appeal to your senses.  You are a party-giver, with a liking for rich foods, and a particular fondness for chocolate.  Music is a major part of your life and strongly affects your moods.  Dissonance produces nervousness and harmony soothes and quiets you.  You are a traditionalist who enjoys the security of the tried-and-true and are not given to accepting the unconventional without a thorough understanding of a need for change.

 

 

Venus in the Ninth House

 

(The Idealist)

 

Your love of learning and sharing knowledge is almost certain to draw you to foreign lands.  You may even choose a career as a diplomat and live abroad.  Every man is your brother.  Every life you touch stimulates your desire to reach a higher level of spiritual being.  You benefit mankind by using your experience to educate the masses.  You are not a REVOLUTIONIST, but an EVOLUTIONIST, gathering means to feed a starving universe with fruits of your knowledge.

 

 

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.

 

 

Mars in the Seventh House

 

(The Boss)

 

You will always walk a fine line between being the strongest of partners, or an arrogant bully. You carry a chip on your shoulder and make few efforts to hide it, preferring open conflict to hidden resentments. You attract those who stimulate your lightning mind and back your decisions. Together you may accomplish more than you can alone, but will be productive only if you find a personal solution to an irresistible force meeting an immovable object.

 

 

Jupiter in Aries

 

(The Pioneer)

 

You see the potential in everything and everybody, but success is not the same for everyone.  While nothing seems impossible to you, others are not blessed with your optimism that “where there’s a will, there’s a way.”  Undaunted by failure, you will not settle for less than the best and will try to reach a star, long after you’ve gained a mountain-top.

 

 

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 Pisces

 

(The Stabilizer)

 

Although it is in your disposition to look to others for support, you can search for your independence and find it.  You may turn moodiness into meditation and benefit from time spent with yourself by listening to “small voices” within that you have not had the courage to hear.  You may cling to destructive emotional patterns, but can develop a will to win.  This has little to do with rewards, other than to at last glimpse who you are and delight in the knowledge.

 

 

Saturn in the Sixth House

 

(The Wage-slave)

 

You will work very hard, are responsible, and follow orders to the letter.  You try to finish what you start. However, you don’t always get along with your co-workers, who see you as a threat to their proficiency and refuse to share your tasks.  You may feel isolated and assume extra duties until your job becomes drudgery.  For you, the reward of work is in the work itself.  If that isn’t enough, find ways to share your pride in achievement with others.

 

 

Uranus in Virgo

 

(The Quirky)

 

You have talent for discovering unusual types of diet and herbal remedies, but must present an authoritative platform before encouraging others to try them.  Otherwise, you may be taken as a “quack” instead of a mechanist who qualifies as a valuable teacher.  A government position may introduce you to other countries and the fundamentals in ancient science as your foundation.  Employ a critical eye as a useful tool when discerning suitable applications in the healing arts.

 

 

Uranus in the Twelfth House

 

(The Subversive)

 

You may work a lifetime to escape the harassment of those who don’t understand you.  You tend to be reclusive under pressure, but this is not the answer to your problems.  The secrets of your subconscious mind are waiting to be discovered. Your dreams may hold clues as to why negative ideas surface unbidden during your waking moments.  Fortunately, you will attract the proper teachers to help you understand yourself when their advice is most needed.

 

 

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 Second House

 

(The Squanderer)

 

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

 

 

Pluto in 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 Twelfth House

 

(The Intellectual)

 

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

 

 

Gemini Midheaven

 

You need to pursue intellectual interests and express a variety of abilities in your career.  Working on more than one project at a time expresses your need to be in constant motion, as far as your career is concerned.  This placement usually occurs together with Virgo rising, which lends personal stability, so that most of your traveling will be done from your armchair.  An ideal occupation would combine physical stability with intellectual activity.

 

With your desire for constant stimulation in your career,  you like interacting with others both one-on-one and in large groups.  A sense of humor will win you friends and help you to get your new ideas across to them.  Seek the advice of your friends when you face career difficulties, because when under stress you can hatch some pretty scatterbrained schemes or want to pull off a disappearing act.  When you get in over your head it is usually because of your versatile curiosity, but remember how much you and others can learn from the problems that you are often the first to face.

 

Occupations consistent with your mental style of work include writer, speaker, media personality, entertainer, dancer, musician, composer, advertiser, publisher, programmer, experimenter, investigator, inventor, traveler, counselor, pilot, politician, lawyer, psychologist, scientist, or teacher.  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 Mercury, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Cancer

 

(The Regressor)

 

Your biggest stumbling block is your pride.  If you don’t receive the respect you feel you deserve, you will distance the love you desire.  Learn to give without expectation of rewards and remember the selfless nurturing received in childhood.  Offer that same care to others who need it now, if you would receive full value for emotional investments.

 

 

North Node in the Tenth House

 

(The Oppressed)

 

You may or may not resent heavy obligations forced on you by family demands at an early age.  Yet, as you grow, you will find you INVITE the problems of others, and each you solve helps you mature into a worthwhile human being.  No one is better equipped than you to handle whatever you must.  Savor your strength and think what you might have become without it.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon conjunct Ascendant  (Strength:  7.36)

 

(The Subterfuge)

 

You may disguise your emotionally-sensitive nature in the extreme, either as bravado or in a submissive attitude.  The truth is that it is difficult for you to let others in on your feelings or talk about your problems with those who might understand.  An emphasis on possessions can weaken your intuitive powers or the ethereal nature which makes you mediumistic.  By observing the needs of others, you may be able to communicate openly and relieve your burdened spirit.

 

 

Moon trine Venus  (Strength:  6.72)

 

(The Lover)

 

You live for love and instinctively know how to have your love returned.  You enjoy socializing with friends, and like to make or give little mementos that have personal meaning.  You may work or be employed in a manner that provides an outlet for your artistic gifts.  When you fall in love, your partner will be fortunate as you find a thousand ways to express your love unselfishly without jealousy, possessiveness or other destructive qualities to spoil your idyll.

 

 

Moon opposite Mars  (Strength:  3.86)

 

(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.

 

 

Sun inconjunct Uranus  (Strength:  3.54)

 

(The Straw-grasper)

 

Unexpected challenges may seem to impede your progress, but the truth is you may be too erratic in your plans or ideas to be taken seriously by your fellows.  You can act on impulse or ignore the consequences of your behavior.  You may feel that “no one understands you” and attract partners who are as unstable as you.  Though you dislike restriction, early discipline may help to align your inventive qualities into patterns that can prove to be practical as you mature.

 

 

Moon inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  2.19)

 

(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.

 

 

Venus opposite Neptune  (Strength:  1.91)

 

(The Pretender)

 

You enjoy a private world of make-believe, which may seem preferable to reality.  You are capable of deceiving others in the name of “love” with the “best” of intentions.  You will never forget the pleasure or the pain of a love relationship and may continue to fantasize what might have been after it has ended.  Choose to use your persuasive nature to improve partnerships or increase your spirituality by believing or convincing others there is some good in everything.

 

 

Mercury inconjunct Neptune  (Strength:  0.68)

 

(The Indecisive)

 

Your ambivalence is often your undoing.  “Commitment” is a foreign word in your vocabulary.  Instead, you pursue excuses as to “why” you fail to live up to your potential. Your gifts of insight can turn into idle daydreams instead of helping to fulfill the grandiose plans you boast.  You may call on spiritual or occult aids in lieu of accepting responsibility, but unless you apply some practicality, you will continue to fail those who have invested in your talents.

 

 

Uranus conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  0.50)

 

(The Unrestrained)

 

You are convinced that new ways are the best ways because they are your ways.  Since you don’t take discipline readily, you may be in conflict with authority figures.  Older people with “old-fashioned ways” seem particular adversaries.  Your life is one of evolvement, without “encumbrances” to hold you back, including relationships.  You may be wise beyond your years, but must have the patience to wait until you know what the universe is about before trying to change it.

 

 

Moon inconjunct Mercury  (Strength:  0.42)

 

(The Gossip)

 

Your constant chatter is actually an expression of your over- active mind.  You are often the victim of the famous “Foot in mouth” problem, since you seldom plan what to say or see who may be listening.  You are easily distracted, and may settle for thinking up a project, rather than completing it.  Consider periods of meditation to calm your senses and allow you to learn the art of concentration, whereby some of your very valid ideas might be followed to fulfillment.

 

 

 

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Earth

 

You are in touch with the real world.  More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way.  Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age.  Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well.  You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them.  Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types.  You know how to establish a pace and keep it.

 

Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here — to which others may be more sensitive than you.  Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched.  Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve.  You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull.  If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn’t everything and try to be more spontaneous.  Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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 Mutable
