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 Cancer

 

(Keynote: I FEEL)

 

You are sensitive, nurturing, devoted and caring, but can be moody, petulant, over-emotional and unforgiving.  Your attachment to the home stems from an allegiance to a mother-figure.  Your interest in food may extend to gourmet cooking as a hobby or a career.  You are an excellent business person, with a shrewd and logical view, but tend to keep things to yourself, which is not always wise.  If you have no outlet for your feelings, you may make yourself the victim of digestive ills, or prolonged seclusion may cost you the friendship of those who represent security in your life.

 

 

Sun in the Second House

 

(The Aspirant)

 

Your focus is on your ability to earn and learn.  It is not that you value money above all else, but resources will always be important to you and represent your basic security. You may set standards early and be on the lookout for ways to improve your station.  Your idea of success is to set a goal, achieve it, and then set a new goal a little higher than the first.  Who can blame you if you take pride in showing what you have accomplished through your hard work?  Many a philanthropist has received satisfaction by donating his treasures for public display, that others may enjoy them.

 

 

 

Moon in Gemini

 

(The Vigorous)

 

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

 

 

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 Leo

 

(The Dramatist)

 

You are highly emotional and speak forcefully; your words may not always be tactful, but they do have an impact.  You’re generous with advice, which is usually good and well-taken. Your gift of creativity may be shared and enjoyed by others who appreciate you.  No party is complete without you, but your famous negative qualities of conceit and arrogance may make you an unwelcome guest.  Listen to your keen intuition, which will tell you when it’s time to go home.

 

 

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 Third House

 

(The Salesman)

 

Identification with siblings can improve the security and structure you need to overcome an inherent restlessness.  It is essential to settle down and apply yourself.  Acquire skills which will enhance natural talents of communication.  “Sweet talking” may become a way of life.  With proper channeling it may lead to a successful and lucrative career in anything from teaching to television.  You can influence a world waiting with open ears for what you have to say.

 

 

Mars in Libra

 

(The Captivator)

 

An intensive yen for romance may tempt you to marry early and in haste, which is inviting trouble.  You enjoy life as an “attention-getter” with good looks and a congenial manner to attract those with the same qualities.  You will also inevitably provoke the jealousy that goes with popularity.  You’re really too intelligent to indulge your penchant for changing partners each time you dance.  You have what it takes to recognize the “right” one, with all you need to be happy.

 

 

Mars in the Fifth House

 

(The Playmate)

 

You are openly affectionate.  Like an engaging puppy, you wheedle to get your way.  If an old slipper is torn in the process, you know you’ll be forgiven.  You shine in physical-contact sports.  Your many friends admire you, but relationships suffer because you change partners often. Discipline is a hard, but necessary task-master, if you are to grow beyond the child that is no longer charming, but becomes a foolish adult, clinging to childish ways.

 

 

Jupiter in Virgo

 

(The Hopeful)

 

Flashes of optimism will ease your concerns with yourself, allow you to relax, and overcome feelings of apprehension.  By being “yourself,” others can admire your fine qualities of intelligence, insight and practicality.  During those periods you may receive the advances you’ve desired, but were too conservative to promote.

 

 

Jupiter in the Fourth House

 

(The Realtor)

 

You may become a successful broker because your own love of home and family represents the peace and security you crave.  Your home is your castle and reflects your passion for luxury.  You may treasure sentimental objects from childhood which represent familiar surroundings you have come to cherish.  Like Scarlett O’Hara, your strength is in the land.

 

 

Saturn in Aquarius

 

(The Apprentice)

 

You are a student of the universe and will explore different avenues, while attracting a variety of friends. Many of these will be with you for your lifetime of discovery.  You will delve into both orthodox and progressive values before adapting them to your own original purposes.  Your findings may have intrinsic worth in your later years.  Don’t discount their significance.  A master is no less a master because he must adhere to a need for creature comforts.

 

 

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 Aries

 

(The Radical)

 

Nothing can stop your headlong plunge into the heart of life.  But, you are very like Icarus in Greek mythology, who flew with wings of wax and fell into the sea when the sun melted them.  Your spirit of adventure, coupled with enormous self-confidence may override prudence.  But, your rash, impulsive ways are also the stuff on which invention thrives. Expect to devote time to prove your concepts before demanding that a conventional world accept them as significant.

 

 

Uranus in the Eleventh House

 

(The Fireball)

 

Everyone you meet is a potential friend.  You get along well with groups, but set your own standards and seldom give in to peer pressure, so it is up to others to march to your special beat.  You attract beggars as well as kings, and see the value in both.  Others may not share your unconventional views, so though you have a constant flow of people traveling through your life, you have few who are close to you.  Those YOU consider as friends, are “choice!”

 

 

Neptune in Virgo

 

(The Caretaker)

 

You are unique in your approach to remedying the world’s ills on a personal level.  You offer your healing gifts to children and animals or the flora and fauna vital to our survival.  You may serve a humane crusade in a mundane job, and receive little credit, other than the satisfaction of participation.  You are highly critical of those who will not “put their money where their mouth is,” and believe in doing what you can to make life easier for other human beings.

 

 

Neptune in the Fourth House

 

(The Nonconformist)

 

Even though you may defy the edicts of your parents, you will always look to them for guidance.  Your mother, in particular, may instill high ideals upon which to mold your life.  Home means shelter to you.  You will decorate it to suit yourself, regardless of what is in vogue, or seems practical.  You make your environs uniquely yours.  However, you tend to be untidy, and may destroy what you have built by neglecting to care for your creations.

 

 

Pluto in Cancer

 

(The Resentful)

 

Your family life is in constant flux.  Some of it seems without purpose and can cause you to feel a loss of the love you cherish.  Strong feelings may indicate that you are in some personal way responsible for the estrangement you sense, whether it is evident to others or not.  It is important to find someone older to talk to, particularly in your formative years, who may placate your fears and start you on the road to self-reliance, which is the answer to your problems.

 

 

Pluto in the Second House

 

(The Materialist)

 

You may lend more importance to the acquisition of material goods than is due, and be obsessive about “who owns what” in property disputes.  Be objective in determining values, or you may find an outstanding business acumen stunted by your reluctance to include associates in the profits.  You may rebuild your foundations time and again before achieving success, but once you reach your zenith there is very little that can topple you from the place you have earned.

 

 

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 Aquarius

 

(The Arrogant)

 

You demand center stage, but are disappointed if there is little applause for your flamboyant performance.  As a member of the audience, you must cheer others for their efforts. With a dual perspective, you may realize that you are part of a larger design, devoid of ego or self-aggrandizement. Release your humanitarian instincts to enjoy the Big Show.

 

 

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 square Neptune  (Strength:  6.34)

 

(The Self-deluder)

 

You may daydream and not understand mood swings that come upon you suddenly.  Others may think you “peculiar” if you express yourself as a psychic when you follow hunches that are generally undependable.  If you become absorbed with your “powers,” you may choose illusion over reality or become part of sects that use drugs in unhealthy rituals to increase awareness.  You must learn to develop concentration and the ability to distinguish fact from fiction.

 

 

Moon trine Mars  (Strength:  5.64)

 

(The Spearhead)

 

Your high physical energy propels you to the head of the crowd.  Whatever you do will be aggressively active, and sometimes competitive, but not necessarily combative. Relationships with others are intense, as are your feelings.  You have the strength of your convictions at all times, but rather than force them on others, will convince them to see things your way because of your inherent enthusiasm.  You are a lover of life, and life, in turn, loves you back!

 

 

Sun square Uranus  (Strength:  4.91)

 

(The Daredevil)

 

You are courageous, but may also be rebellious and reckless.  If expecting the unexpected appeals to you, your life should be as thrilling and exciting as you could wish. But, if you try to sail a smooth sea, you may invite upsets that continually disturb your plans.  Changes may damage your originality, if you plunge headlong into the unknown, but upon examination may provide you with the means to mold your life-direction until it accommodates your special cast.

 

 

Mercury opposite Saturn  (Strength:  4.85)

 

(The Despondent)

 

You are hard on yourself, and easily discouraged if you fail to live up to or are not rewarded by your high standards. Use your critical abilities constructively.  You have an unsurpassed eye for detail, accept responsibility and if you are not confident of your abilities will take steps to gain whatever is necessary to fulfill your obligations.  Avoid negative thoughts that lead to depression.  Your many fine attributes will receive the notice you deserve in time.

 

 

Sun conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  4.82)

 

(The Delver)

 

You will leave no stone unturned to understand the source of energies that press you to continually transform your life into “something better.”  Facets of yourself that need revision will undergo radical changes as you eliminate anything impeding your progress.  Keep your eye “single” as to how you may improve in spite of others who try to force you to their ways.  Believe in yourself.  Little can deter you, once you find a practical way to express your power.

 

 

Venus opposite Saturn  (Strength:  2.25)

 

(The Reluctant)

 

You are practical and if you have creative talent will use it for profit.  You have a need for balance in relationships, but continually test them as if you cannot trust them to survive.  Develop a tolerance for the feelings of others who can be hurt or put off by your seeming detachment.  Find ways to get past your retiring nature and indulge your needs to interact with others or you may be lonely with no one but yourself to blame for your isolation.

 

 

Uranus square Pluto  (Strength:  1.73)

 

(The Run-away)

 

You are affected strongly by your environment, are opinionated, and if maladjusted, may liberate yourself from restrictions at an early age.  You find it difficult to adjust to changes that you do not originate.  The problem is that you may jump from a frying pan into a fire if you are not mature enough to have a real understanding of evolvement.  You identify with your peers.  Like the “flower children” of the `60’s, you can embrace anarchism rather than transformation.

 

 

Mercury conjunct Venus  (Strength:  0.76)

 

(The Considerate)

 

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

 

 

Jupiter sextile Pluto  (Strength:  0.52)

 

(The Improver)

 

No matter how good something is, you will try to make it better, and often do.  Your creativity earns you respect and praise.  Others are happy to join in revamping circumstances, or the way world conditions affect your world.  You may lead a campaign or cause because you are dedicated to whatever you inject with your dynamic energy and determination to succeed.  Sharing power can be a learning experience in which you will expand opportunities by joining forces in a common effort.

 

 

Moon trine Saturn  (Strength:  0.30)

 

(The Grounded)

 

You have a mature outlook and a knack of balancing needs and desires.  You permit yourself latitude to plan ahead and prepare yourself for success.  An image of what is worthwhile in relationships causes you to seriously examine potentials before involving yourself in commitment.  Your excellent discipline may appear as deprivation to others, but the durable results you achieve prove any personal sacrifice rewarding and suit your pragmatic lifestyle to a “T.”

 

 

 

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Air

 

You seem to live for mental exploration.  Discovering and communicating the connections between ideas, people, and places is your function in life.  Your active mind is good at identifying new frontiers whose basics you quickly master, so that you end up knowing something about almost everything.  You have a dispassionate nature that cooly considers the pros and cons of a situation, able to place logic above personal emotion.  From your mental viewpoint, emotions look irrational.  You make a good negotiator, sales person, communicator, arbitrator, analyst, and information processor.  Ideas flow quickly for you.  While impersonal and dispassionate, you nonetheless thrive on communication and social interaction.  At your best, you strive to understand and accept people, not to change them.  Courageously, you adhere to principles.  You appreciate culture, structure, and systems.

 

Your greatest strength is also your weakness, namely too much coolness from placing head above heart.  Leaders must be able to follow their hearts without being indecisive or equivocating.  And you ignore your real connection to others if you use your mental gifts to coldly manipulate them.  Try to avoid isolation by functioning as part of a team in which your logic, analysis, and communication skills are put to good use.  Work with others who may be more practical, sensitive, or passionate than are you. Don’t keep your good ideas inside, but write them down and communicate them to others.

 

 

Lack of 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.

 

 

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.
