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 Taurus

 

(Keynote: I OWN)

 

You have deep material and spiritual concerns and are patient, kind, romantic and firm in your resolves.  You are also capable of being stubborn, unyielding, self-indulgent, possessive and jealous.  You enjoy tangibles that have weight and intrinsic worth, and display your assets and achievements prominently.  Your aesthetic hunger makes you a patron of the arts.  You will forgive, but not forget an injustice.  A need for security can override your integrity, but you will defend your means to achieve an end because you cannot accept yourself if others find you wanting.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Mercury in Taurus

 

(The Dedicated)

 

You believe in the “golden rule” and extend the benefit of the doubt.  You may be slow to anger, but can be physically forceful; will forgive, but never forget an injustice.  Your powers of rationalization demand that you take time to prepare ahead for any task you undertake, which may be mistaken for procrastination.  If you have a weak point, it is being too set in your ways, but on the plus side, once committed, you can be depended upon to follow through.

 

 

Venus in Cancer

 

(The Protector)

 

You must be careful of “smothering” instead of “mothering” loved ones or, with the best of intentions, you may alienate them from you.  You attract those who need your help, but your own sense of security needs bolstering.   Emotional demands may draw you into studies of mysticism.  You can depend on your parents, and may be involved in a family business.  Your love of kin is paramount and will give you strength to do whatever is necessary to keep them together.

 

 

Mars in Cancer

 

(The Pressure Cooker)

 

You will harbor resentments from childhood, and many of them stem from a rebellion against a mother-figure.  You may try to run away from imposed values with which you may not agree, but find you still have a need for the security of a home and family.  Discover early that you must earn the right to be your “own” person.  A certain amount of parental help is necessary as a fledgling discovers its wings.  Professional counseling may be advisable before you “blow your top!”

 

 

Jupiter in Capricorn

 

(The Traditionalist)

 

You may need to relax your conventionally-narrow views, to gamble now and then on human nature to prevail in the face of overwhelming obstacles.  Once you have decided to reveal yourself as the fine, understanding person you are, you should have no trouble taking your place successfully in public office, where you can lead the masses to enlightenment.

 

 

Saturn in Gemini

 

(The Vassal)

 

Responsibilities of loved ones can limit your outstanding ability to express yourself.  You may adopt a life of fantasy to escape becoming hard or bitter.  Many writers epitomize your frustrations: Beatrix Potter, Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Bronte Sisters among them.  They were visionaries who overcame “self” to share a corner of their indomitable spirits.  Your lack of freedom is far less meaningful than the opportunity for self-discipline you will learn to value.

 

 

Uranus in Libra

 

(The Bohemian)

 

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

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

North Node in Capricorn

 

(The Infant)

 

You may be a “mama’s baby,” and enjoy the role, but must give up childhood pampering, or continue tossing on a sea of emotional turmoil.  When you assume adult responsibilities, you will exercise your fine qualities of honor, loyalty and discipline.  Then you will earn the respect and pride, as well as the love of parents and peers, which you have always known.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Venus conjunct Mars  (Strength:  5.85)

 

(The Vivacious)

 

Your desire for affection is ongoing and you don’t mind being aggressive if you see someone you want as a friend or lover.  You express your creativity in dress, look and manner and know how to approach others without seeming “pushy.”  You make yourself the center of attention so you will attract those who are impressed with your enthusiasm.  Relationships may be over as quickly as they begin, since you crave variety and are always on the lookout for new worlds to conquer.

 

 

Mercury trine Jupiter  (Strength:  4.08)

 

(The Assertive)

 

You have big plans which you like to discuss with others.  You exchange ideas and receive the support of your friends. Once clear in your goals, you’ll have no trouble convincing others that you know what you’re talking about and should be given a chance to prove yourself.  You are an excellent salesperson or counselor. In either case, you have the attention of others who respect your opinion and enjoy from you a positive output which contributes to your success.

 

 

Moon square Uranus  (Strength:  4.05)

 

(The Dissenter)

 

You are likely to go against the crowd.  In a way, this is expressing your individuality, but you can gain a reputation for being “difficult” instead of “liberated.” An inherent restlessness may spur you to take chances just to see what will “happen” to relationships if you jar their foundations.  On the other hand, you may suddenly feel your needs are not in synch with partners and will look for unusual ways of cementing or dissolving commitments.

 

 

Sun trine Pluto  (Strength:  3.25)

 

(The Success)

 

Your determination to succeed impresses others and attracts those who may help you.  You will define your goals and examine the changes required to accomplish them at each stage of your progress. If it means becoming a “new” person, you will undergo necessary reforms and transformation.  Good health accompanies your positive attitude.  At one with perfect spiritual harmony, you achieve the balance necessary to realize, accept and maintain a position of prominence.

 

 

Mars square Pluto  (Strength:  2.93)

 

(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.

 

 

Moon opposite Jupiter  (Strength:  2.83)

 

(The Double Standard)

 

You are a sharing, caring person, but resist being led or forced to accept circumstances not of your choosing.  You may even feel partnerships should not limit your personal freedom. On the other hand, you may be demanding of others because they “owe” you, or just because they care for you.  Consider why you have these feelings.  You may solidify relationships by agreeing to a more equitable arrangement of “give and take” or drop commitments that are less than worthwhile.

 

 

Venus square Pluto  (Strength:  2.79)

 

(The Profound)

 

You may appear to be something you’re not to get what you want or to attract the mysterious, because you are intrigued by the unknown.  The intensity of your nature can tempt you to use underhanded methods to fulfill your compelling desires. If another exerts an undesirable influence over you, you may not break away because of basic insecurities.  Only light can dispel darkness.  Find ways to avoid what is unwise, unsafe, or unhealthy to restore you to politic thinking.

 

 

Jupiter inconjunct Saturn  (Strength:  2.57)

 

(The Waverer)

 

Unwillingness to accept half-way measures may result in ambivalence.  You tend to blow “hot or cold,” and be overboard or strictly reserved in opinions and actions.  Others are unsure of your intentions.  You may also experience extremes in the way others treat you.  Being too set in your ways can result in holdups or stoppage of your best-laid plans, or you may act in haste and have second-thoughts too late to rectify your recklessness.  Walk a middle-road to achieve success.

 

 

Saturn opposite Neptune  (Strength:  2.08)

 

(The Conflict)

 

You may be deprived of a firm foundation early, which encourages inner doubts and insecurities as you mature.  Avoid unnecessary self-blame, but assume responsibility for your thoughts and actions.  You are not being “picked on,” — only trying to discover who you are and how you fit into the scheme of things.  Eventually, you may find that  “street-smarts” can be more practical than “book-learning.”  Try to blend the best of both to gain self-confidence and assure success.

 

 

Venus inconjunct Neptune  (Strength:  1.55)

 

(The Misconception)

 

You breathe romance into every facet of your life, refusing to accept mundane expectations or a practical life-style.  You may compensate for lack of fulfillment by indulging a prominent sweet-tooth, or hallucinatory substances which are harmful to your health.  If you pay the freight to maintain an idealistic alliance, you can invite deceptive partners.  Ask yourself if you can afford the disappointment and the debts which plague your troubled relationships.

 

 

Mercury inconjunct Neptune  (Strength:  1.42)

 

(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.

 

 

Mars inconjunct Neptune  (Strength:  1.40)

 

(The Irrational)

 

You can let emotions get in the way of common sense.  You will attempt to deceive others or be deceived if you are too insecure to use good judgment.  Your sensitivity may add to a store of unresolved anger within.   Self-discipline is a preferable alternative to trying to escape problems through dwelling in a world of fantasy rather than reality.  If you need help to keep a focus, you may look for and accept it on a spiritual level, and grow past difficulties in the process.

 

Venus opposite Jupiter  (Strength:  1.05)

 

(The Indulgent)

 

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

 

Mercury sextile Venus  (Strength:  0.97)

 

(The Cartoonist)

 

Relaxation is important to you and you learn early to pace yourself to allow time for pleasure.  You tend to take things at face value, are easy-going and amusing to have around.  You appreciate art forms, but if you draw, are more likely to “doodle” or present the lighter side of mankind in caricature, which expresses your tongue-in-cheek attitude. You are a winsome companion, if lacking the solemnity to provide variable shadows on your sunny side of the street!

 

Mars opposite Jupiter  (Strength:  0.91)

 

(The Affected)

 

You often try to impress others with your abilities, which can come off as idle boasting or narcissism.  Or, you may feel discriminated against, which can be the result of selfishly pursuing your aims over the feelings of others.  You sometimes respond to promises of extravagant rewards which may not materialize and tend to overreact emotionally, which is a sure way to lose a battle.  Utilize your positive energy and assert your independence to make things happen “your way.”

 

Mercury sextile Mars  (Strength:  0.83)

 

(The Taskmaster)

 

You cannot expect everyone to keep up with your stamina or restless thoughts, and are apt to be too impatient to work well as a team member.  You may be a good employer, but only if you extend tolerance for the faults of others.  It is difficult for you to allow anyone a chance to do what you think you can do better.  You may be right, but use your quick and logical mind to reason whether it is worth the energy to prove over and over that you are “Number One.”

 

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 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.
