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

 

 

Aquarius Ascendant

 

(The Oracle)

 

Your distinctive features are your eyes, sometimes the color of the sea, the sky, or both — one is never sure which.  You are a one-of-a-kind person in touch with “something” that gives you special insights into “tomorrow.”  You don’t ask to be understood, but need freedom to explore the horizon. Problems occur in avoiding commitment.  You cannot get along without people, since you would have no way to express the compassion you feel for all of earth’s creatures.

 

 

 

Sun in Aquarius

 

(Keynote:  I KNOW)

 

You are optimistic, innovative, philosophical and humane, but are capable of being eccentric, indifferent, rebellious and temperamental.  You are motivated by inherent feelings that amount to enlightenment.   Your interest in humanity puts you in contact with a variety of people to whom you can relate with equality.  Your dispassionate nature confuses those who would form attachments.  Like an astronaut, you expect your partners to respect the independence you treasure and permit the freedom your creativity demands.  Ideally, you will one day contribute your special gifts to the evolution of man.

 

 

Sun in the First House

 

(The Driving Force)

 

In all things you must be first.  Patience is not your long suit, but try to make allowances for those who lack your talent for making quick judgments.  Partnerships can be difficult because of your hair-trigger temper.  It is through your partners that you find the harmony and stability you so desperately need for balance.  You have what it takes to succeed: Good health, charm, confidence and courage — the qualities of a leader.  But, they are also the traits of a tyrant.  The choice is always yours as to how you use the tremendous powers at your disposal.

 

 

 

Moon in Aquarius

 

(The Individual)

 

You are not always practical, but are unorthodox and misunderstood by those who do not appreciate that you are a true liberal of rare talent.  You cannot be restricted by the bonds of convention or a regulated society.  Whatever you do is done with all your heart, but once you have accomplished your purpose, you move on, which may give you a reputation of indifference.  Your independence can result in loneliness, though you surround yourself with people and join causes in which you strongly believe.  You search for enlightenment to bring you to the state of peace and tranquility you long for.

 

 

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 Capricorn

 

(The Logician)

 

You are a strategist who employs systematic methods and are seldom upset, unless your plans are disturbed.  You communicate with others by getting right to the point with a minimum of wasted effort.  Others may consider you sober, self-righteous and too rigid to enjoy life, but what they think of as “rigid”, you believe to be structured, “sober” as merely serious, and “self-righteousness” is your pride in accomplishments that you have earned the hard way.

 

 

Mercury in the Twelfth House

 

(The Investigator)

 

You excel in research, and do your best work in seclusion.  You may depend on intuition for clues when your gift for practical analysis fails to unearth the answers you need.  Keep your head on your shoulders, or your vivid imagination may color your sense of reality.  Self-analysis can cause you to brood over too-serious thoughts.  It might be better to consult someone else who is more objective, but chances are, you seldom feel like talking it over.

 

 

Venus in Pisces

 

(The Compassionate)

 

You often realize the needs of others before they ask your help and are on hand to volunteer your time, money and services for those less fortunate than yourself.  Emotions overrule your practicality in most cases and sentimental compassion may override personal relationships.  If you are “unlucky” in love, perhaps you should not sacrifice it on the altar of public charity, but also acknowledge the needs of those who care for you and deserve consideration.

 

 

Venus in the Second House

 

(The Status-Seeker)

 

An innate dislike of ugliness makes the acquisition of beautiful things almost a necessity.  But, an obsession for accumulating expensive serendipity for the sake of creating an illusion of opulence can encourage acquiring money for money’s sake.  If there is an opportunity, you may marry for money at the expense of love.  True values need constant attention to rise above the temptation to worship at a golden idol’s feet.

 

 

Mars in Sagittarius

 

(The Skeptic)

 

Your demeanor is one of extreme self-confidence and defined direction.  You are distrustful of established regimen, prefer to march to your own drummer and defy others to keep up with you.  Red tape is “there to be cut,” but you realize you must operate within certain confines to make your innovative ideas acceptable.  You are a person who “packs his own chute.”  If you must fall to earth, it will be on your terms and you have no one to blame but yourself.

 

 

Mars in the Eleventh House

 

(The Campaigner)

 

You will use your ability to work with people to achieve your personal goals.  You may have only a few close friends, because you are too busy enlarging your circle to establish many permanent relationships.  You weren’t born to be a team-player, but will find that support is necessary to further your ambitions.  Cooperation and coordination should be your key words for success and play a major part in your life-pattern of expansion.

 

 

Jupiter in Leo

 

(The Majestic)

 

You live life in a grandiose manner.  Still, you aspire to improve your standing.  You are a loyal friend, an ardent lover and others admire, rather than envy, you.  What some consider luck, you take as your due, because you are aware of your opportunities and make the most of them.  You are to all a “king” who demonstrates generosity, kindness and good will.

 

 

Jupiter in the Seventh House

 

(The Alliance)

 

Whether your partnership is professional or personal, your mate must allow you room to expand.  Your original intent may be that you can accomplish more as a team than as individuals.  This works best if you agree to share quality, rather than quantity time together.  Otherwise, your need for independence will soon split an otherwise productive pairing.

 

 

Saturn in Sagittarius

 

(The Persuader)

 

You have the ability to influence others to join a crusade; as long as you adhere to your high principles, they will admire and probably follow you without question. However, you must be prepared to encounter those who disagree with your beliefs and oppose you.  Carefully guard your words and actions because they can be held against you.  The flames you ignite may become a holocaust out of your control.

 

 

Saturn in the Tenth House

 

(The Deliberator)

 

You know what you want.  You make your plans carefully, and you are willing to study, work hard and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals.  On your way to the top, be careful not to ignore or alienate those close to you. Once you reach your zenith, try to find ways to reward your supporters.  Otherwise, you are liable to find yourself successful but solitary, with a void in your life that can only be filled by those who care for you.

 

 

Uranus in Cancer

 

(The Whimsical)

 

You are an uncommon, often-disruptive influence in the home.  Overly-sensitive, you can brood over imagined wrongs, but may never voice your unhappiness or resentments.  Others may not comprehend your dour moods.  You can benefit by quiet times of self-analysis.  Try to include your loved ones in discussions that will strengthen your bonds and prevent the dissension associated with your eccentricities.  Much may be accomplished by mutual understanding.

 

 

Uranus in the Sixth House

 

(The Job-hopper)

 

You may waste time jumping from job to job as you search for one compatible with your personality.  You resent subjugation by conditions or the will of others.  If you “make do” for the sake of a paycheck, nervous conditions may result because of repressed energy.  You will be happiest with work that allows you flexibility and an opportunity to do things your way.   If that is impossible, at least try to “get away from it all” when away from your work environment.

 

 

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 Ninth House

 

(The Priest)

 

You are highly conscious of the spiritual side of life and may feel you are “called” to take your place as a theologian.  You need not become a minister in the orthodox sense, but can adopt and employ valuable philosophies.  Don’t be impatient to achieve your goals.  Allow opportunities to emerge as you grow in faith.  Recognize that the price of higher knowledge is often one of self-sacrifice that does not admit the ego as a constructive energy.

 

 

Pluto in Leo

 

(The Agitated)

 

Your ability to keep things at a fever pitch needs careful regulating to avoid constant upheaval in your life and the lives of others.  Your senses are keen.  Use them to recognize a need for transforming human affairs.  Take your place in bettering your environment by helping others to better theirs.  It is preferable to accept the accolades of your peers for your good work than to indulge the self-aggrandizement negatively associated with your sign.

 

 

Pluto in the Seventh House

 

(The Autocrat)

 

You can expect to receive in kind whatever you devise, but may bite off more than you can chew.  In all partnerships you assume you will set the rules, but may find others have their own ideas and expect you to consider them.  If there are conflicts, you may face actions that are far from above-board, but if you are fair in your demands, you need not provoke destructive consequences.  You can use the powerful energies you project to strengthen your ties.

 

 

Scorpio Midheaven

 

You will do well in a career which involves your ability to feel out and involve others in a collaborative venture.  You are emotionally intuitive, both about potential partners and about the direction of society as a whole, so that you can speak what people are feeling.  You yourself may have gone through deep transformations connected to traumatic events.  You are comfortable reaching down into the depths of any subject and so make a good researcher or investigator.  You are happiest in an occupation which allows you to explore and produce constructive results.  Your strength may involve you in a power struggle with authorities until you can achieve a compromise.  Your commitment is such that you make a dangerous enemy.  Some people with this placement are so inflexible that they stay with a job that they hate.

 

Power and control will be issues in your life.  You have the ability to coordinate the efforts of others in teamwork, handling power tactfully and with concern for the rights of others.  Work with others for transformation and improvement, as opposed to maintenance of the status quo, and you will enjoy great success.  Selfishness, ruthlessness, and overkill are the negative possibilities of this placement.  Try to spread both the effort and the benefits to others.

 

Occupations consistent with your intense style of work include investigator, researcher, critic, engineer, programmer, mechanic, contractor, wrecker, exterminator, dramatic writer or poet,  sex therapist, tailor, musician, entrepreneur, government or large company worker, surgeon, chemist, pharmacist, detective, psychologist, mortician, insurance actuary, artist, or the military.  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 Pluto, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.

 

 

North Node in Sagittarius

 

(The Fence Sitter)

 

You are afraid to make choices that may put you in the wrong.  Until you voice an opinion or convictions that are yours alone, you will not have earned the independence you desire.  Experience teaches that conflict often results from indifference.  Restore others’ confidence by repairing breaks in links of faith with the solder of concern and wisdom.

 

 

North Node in the Eleventh House

 

(The Inappropriate)

 

You are in love with love and may wear your heart on your sleeve.  See yourself through the eyes of others where you are reflected.  Perceive that you must grow beyond “self” to gain the happiness you seek.  By forsaking your ego, you can find the satisfaction of joining others in a cause which you may develop, and fulfill your pursuit of immortality.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon conjunct Ascendant  (Strength:  9.20)

 

(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 square Neptune  (Strength:  8.46)

 

(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 opposite Uranus  (Strength:  8.15)

 

(The Late Bloomer)

 

You may be reluctant to release old patterns from early childhood, or feel guilty as you grow away from familiar habits ingrained by a mother-figure.  However, your inquisitive nature presses you to explore new methods that will help you expand.  Once you decide on liberation, develop patience to learn the result of your actions before insisting others follow your example, whether or not they share your enthusiasm for drastic change.

 

 

Moon sextile Saturn  (Strength:  7.13)

 

(The Judicious)

 

You are careful with your feelings and emotions and therefore have great control over your interaction with others.  You may seem older and wiser than your years because of your preference for conservatism and your respect for tradition.  You prefer the company of older people, and if you need advice will look to someone well-versed and substantial for counsel.  However, you are secure within yourself and justly proud of your independence and self-sufficiency.

 

 

Uranus square Neptune  (Strength:  6.93)

 

(The Elusive)

 

You tend to sidestep issues you don’t want to deal with and may try to escape into unrealistic abstractions, though you see them as truth.  The world can be a confusing place in which to live, but you must address life as realistically as possible.  Yours is a challenge to find ways in which to use your unusual talents productively.  Your viewpoint is all-important, as you must discover how to adjust to circumstances that require practicality, as well as imagination.

 

 

Venus trine Uranus  (Strength:  6.88)

 

(The Evergreen)

 

You may make money in unusual ways and attract those who are very different from yourself or have something “new” to offer.  Your desire for excitement and change keeps your relationships forever young.  There is little danger of possessiveness or jealousy.  You may “reward” each other with unusual trinkets that you both enjoy or hold a special meaning for the two of you. If things get dull, you’ll find a way to liven them up and have a variety of friends to help you.

 

 

Mercury opposite Uranus  (Strength:  6.52)

 

(The Undisciplined)

 

You are apt to be restless and easily bored unless you have somewhere to go or something to do that is “different” every waking moment.  You look for new experiences or people with whom you can exchange original ideas.  You are too impatient for conventional studies, but may become intrigued by the challenge of mathematics, astrology or mysteries that command your attention and will inspire you to use the control you need to carve a niche in a structured world.

 

 

Jupiter conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  5.78)

 

(The Ambitious)

 

Once you set a goal, you put all your energy into achieving it.  You have an instinct for timing that is sometimes precognitive, and gives you the momentum to hit your zenith at the right instant.  Your aims are extremely personal, geared toward your improvement.  You are not anxious to share rewards, since success is an obsession into which you pour your resources.  As long as you do not distort your values, your drive for power will undoubtedly pay off.

 

 

Moon conjunct Mercury  (Strength:  5.00)

 

(The Vacillator)

 

It is difficult for you to make a lasting decision.  You may change your mind suddenly and often after having “second thoughts.”  You are apt to act emotionally and are influenced by mood swings rather than logic.  At times, you are overwhelmed by inconsequential ideas that have no bearing on problems of the moment.  But, you are able to express your feelings readily and can ask for good advice to help you follow through successfully on matters of importance.

 

 

Saturn trine Uranus  (Strength:  4.53)

 

(The Technician)

 

You prepare for the future by attending to the present, but are not easily upset by unexpected changes, since you realize that “nothing is forever.”  If you feel that some modification or adjustment is in order, you will try to accommodate it within your structure.  But, a need for new skills is met with the idea that you will have extra tools to advance your position.  You are open to utilizing new ideas without sacrificing what you have worked hard to establish.

 

 

Mercury square Neptune  (Strength:  4.20)

 

(The Perplexed)

 

You dream of fairy-tale romances, but be careful not to put on pedestals those who don’t deserve your consideration. You will come to see they have feet of clay, and become disillusioned.  If you live in a dream world, you can be deceived.  Or, you may use others to achieve your means in an underhanded manner.  Maintain your integrity and insist on fact over fantasy.  Avoid confusion that could deny success.  Don’t forego your chance at a productively rewarding life.

 

 

Mercury sextile Venus  (Strength:  4.00)

 

(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!

 

Mercury inconjunct Pluto  (Strength:  3.89)

 

(The Overbearing)

 

You are too intense and opinionated to work well with others.  Your drive to prove yourself can make you assume a “superior” attitude and cause resentment.  If you are not willing to change your demeanor, you may attract the unfavorable attention of those who wield power.  Once in charge, you are unrelenting in your demands.  Nervous disorders or inflammatory problems may result from unreleased tensions or a determination to succeed “if it kills you!”

 

Mercury inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  3.58)

 

(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.

 

Moon sextile Venus  (Strength:  3.28)

 

(The Nurturer)

 

Love for your fellow man makes it difficult for you to dislike anyone you meet.  You give others the benefit of the doubt and are disappointed only in your lack of judgment if they do not measure up to your expectations.  You may prefer to entertain at home and your friends welcome your invitations to visit.  Self-indulgence can include the satisfaction you derive from caring for others.  But, you must be careful not to resent those who do not return your generosity in kind.

 

Mercury conjunct Ascendant  (Strength:  3.21)

 

(The Accelerator)

 

You are quick to recognize and seize an opportunity for personal progress.  You may create openings for your advancement, since no one can sell yourself better than you.  You know what you want and can find a way to achieve it.  Try not to react or take the criticism of others to heart, unless they are in authority, as they may stand in your way or delay your success.  You know yourself well.  Elevate your sights beyond what is available and set yourself higher goals.

 

Venus trine Saturn  (Strength:  2.66)

 

(The Stable)

 

You view relationships realistically so the bonds you form are sensible and of lasting quality.  In business, you are able to stretch resources or make do with limited means.  You realize the value of commitment in personal unions as an opportunity to build something substantial with a helpmate, but are not necessarily unromantic in your approach.  If you remain single, you will provide for emotional support to keep your life in balance, which is one secret of your success.

 

Sun sextile Mars  (Strength:  2.35)

 

(The Expeditor)

 

Use your energies to accomplish your tasks in the most judicious manner.  You are not likely to go unnoticed.  Your object will be the successful completion of anything you undertake rather than satisfaction of your ego, so you work well with others and make use of their input.  Your self-confidence inspires respect of your judgment.  Should you find resistance, you will overcome it with logic and prudence rather than aggressiveness and domination.

 

Mars conjunct North Node  (Strength:  2.17)

 

(The Champion)

 

Others willingly follow your lead and believe in you because you radiate confidence.  You are free with your advice and firm in your decisions.  You enjoy helping the “underdog,” and revel in recognition for your achievements.  You can be intolerant and take criticism badly, if at all.  Your aggressive outlook can draw the respect you enjoy or label you as a bully.  The choices you make determine your success. Once the die is cast, there is no turning back.

 

Venus inconjunct Pluto  (Strength:  1.88)

 

(The Luxury Lover)

 

You tend to go overboard in your wishes and demands.  Your love can be possessive and jealous.  If partners do not conform to your ideals, you may insist on trying to make them over.  Your determination to cling to “what is yours” can become obsessive.  Money is all-important for your desired lifestyle, and you pursue it relentlessly.  You can drive that which you most desire away unless you truly begin to practice moderation and the old axiom of “Live and let live.”

 

Venus inconjunct Jupiter  (Strength:  1.66)

 

(The Spendthrift)

 

You may depend too much on appearances to attract what you think are the “right” crowd and circumstances.  Your self-delusion is apparent when you spend emotionally without an idea of how you will “pay the rent.”  To compensate for frustrated dreams of grandeur, you may indulge your sweet tooth, which can result in unwanted pounds and inches, or even in allergies.  By curbing your appetites and employing a practical outlook, you may find the very successes you desire.

 

Saturn square Pluto  (Strength:  1.54)

 

(True Grit)

 

You may feel the world is against you or that life is a continuous struggle, with you the innocent victim.  Even if you must combat overwhelming odds, you will find ways to express yourself and your ideas as an effective individual.  The more difficult the obstacle and the less you have to work with, the stronger you will become.  When you establish your values, you will defend them wholeheartedly and few can come against you without knowing they have been in a fight.

 

Venus inconjunct Neptune  (Strength:  1.41)

 

(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.

 

Jupiter square Saturn  (Strength:  1.32)

 

(The Wary)

 

You are much like the old song that complains: “You have a feeling that you wanna go — then, you wanna stay — but you gotta go!”  You have an urge to expand or break away from restrictions, but may be overly careful — as if you never feel you have what it takes to succeed, so are a perpetual student instead of a graduate in the school of life.  You may set modest goals, unworthy of your higher potential.  Faith in yourself will prepare you for the success you can achieve.

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  1.24)

 

(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 sextile Neptune  (Strength:  1.01)

 

(The Philanthropist)

 

Traditional views of religion are not necessarily satisfying to your need for spirituality.  You may prefer to “live” your faith rather than give it “lip service.”  Your concern for others prompts you to extend a helping hand in a sincere desire to serve, but does not mean you can accomplish miracles.  But, if you achieve a balance between the demands of the material world and continue to do uplifting work, you will one day know the meaning of fulfillment.

 

Sun opposite Jupiter  (Strength:  0.11)

 

(The Listener)

 

You are so idealistic, hopeful and enthusiastic that it seems unlikely that anyone or anything can deflate your quixotic balloon.  Because to you “possession is nine-tenths of success,” you surround yourself with material proof of your achievements.  Your tendency to overdo needs a tight rein to keep your goals and rewards in alignment.  It is important that since you are such a “Pollyanna” you hear the opinions and advice of others who offer a practical outlook.

 

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.

 

 

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 Earth

 

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

 

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

 

 

Lack of 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.

The planets are evenly distributed between houses of different types in your chart.  This will help to balance out any lack of a particular element that might occur if your chart’s planets tend to concentrate in certain zodiac signs.  It helps you to balance thinking with feeling, assertion with diplomacy, and imagination with realism.

 

 

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.
