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 Virgo

 

(Keynote: I ANALYZE)

 

You are practical, modest, thoughtful and discriminating.  You can be critical, withdrawn, narrow, and tend to worry too much, particularly about your health.  You are hard to know because you are cool and reserved, but are a fine teacher, with an aptitude for figures, an ability to evaluate accurately, and an abundance of knowledge.  Your sense of responsibility assures the most tedious task will be finished promptly and precisely.  Your dry wit is often unexpected and appreciated, but when it turns to biting sarcasm can make even your best friends wish you’d stayed at home!

 

 

 

Moon in Libra

 

(The Dependent)

 

You have a burning desire to please and will go to great lengths to do so.  You cultivate an image of glamour and success, are probably a compulsive buyer and enjoy wearing distinctive and expensive clothes.  You attract easily, and are popular, but fickle.  You may be over-critical of your partners until you realize that, because you are easily-led, you need someone to help you make decisions.  You are either too lazy or insecure to try to develop much self-reliance.  A strong instinct that a special relationship is “fated” may lead you to the proper person to be your life-mate.

 

 

Mercury in Libra

 

(The Moderator)

 

You are a born diplomat, so can usually sugar-coat even a bitter pill to make it palatable.  Because you see all sides of a question, you often have trouble making up your mind as to what is “fair.”  Look for a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and will inspire you to use your gift of writing.  Though your work may not be commercial, it will give you the pleasure of creating something beautiful to share with those who appreciate your efforts.

 

 

Venus in Virgo

 

(The Unappreciated)

 

Your feelings are vulnerable to the slights of others. Perhaps in retaliation, you have a tendency to overanalyze and criticize any partners in your life.  You may also invite those whose standards are not your own, thereby giving you an opportunity for such censure.  Use the discretion you employ in business to choose someone who will appreciate your fine qualities of selectivity and is able to expose the sympathetic nature you bury beneath the cool exterior you present.

 

 

Mars in Scorpio

 

(The Excessive)

 

Many are attracted to your powerful magnetism, but may be frightened by the intensity with which you approach life in general and your desires in particular.  You are in touch with your emotions, and may be governed by them so need discipline to succeed.  You live on a grandiose scale.  Everything is magnified by ten-plus and receives the full force of your energy until you are satisfied with your achievements.  You are an unrelenting foe and the most magnanimous of friends.

 

 

Jupiter in Scorpio

 

(The Investor)

 

You may manage other people’s time and money successfully.  Your keen intuition and bent for speculation can help you create your own dynasty.  You’re apt to over-do or become self-indulgent.  Make “moderation” your watchword to avoid unfortunate side-effects which can impair your health and rob you of the rewards of the charmed life you lead.

 

 

Saturn in Libra

 

(The Disillusioned)

 

Your dreams of a perfect partner may shatter more than once, but you will not give up trying.  Somehow, though you possess fine qualities, you don’t seem to attract the right people to appreciate them.  It is difficult for others to accept your high ideals and you to compromise them.  However, though you may feel lonely at times, you will grow to appreciate yourself as someone who can overcome personal unhappiness by helping others profit by your experience.

 

 

Uranus in Sagittarius

 

(The Diviner)

 

You are amazingly accurate in forecasting events or circumstances that come about.  You have a good grasp of logic, so are unlikely to exceed your gifts, but use them to research areas that may contribute to the future of mankind. You are unconventional in your beliefs, fearless in your concepts, and may adopt philosophy rather than religion as a guideline.  You should introduce prudence into your restless nature to create wisdom you may share with others.

 

 

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 Libra

 

(The Rational)

 

As peacemaker, it is second-nature to act as liaison in fostering partnerships that contribute to world-harmony.  Your high intellect and demand for justice may place you in public service where you can aid worthy causes by your involvement. Your love of truth may influence big business, where deceit will be overcome with honor.  On an individual level, all this may be accomplished by setting an example through the simple amenities you practice every day.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  6.12)

 

(The Compulsive)

 

Experience can be a valuable, if expensive teacher, and is your proving ground, no matter your age.  With your intensity of purpose, you can be in over your head before you know it.  Relationships can be confusing and must be significant or you won’t be interested.  A desire for “one-upmanship” can tempt you to manipulate others, but remember, the one who decides to stop the game usually wins. Try to understand your feelings to put things in perspective.

 

 

Sun square Neptune  (Strength:  4.87)

 

(The Disoriented)

 

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

 

 

Moon sextile Neptune  (Strength:  4.55)

 

(The Perceptive)

 

Your senses are highly evolved so that you feel the “vibrations” of others.  You may also see colors, or “auras,” but unless you cultivate these gifts carefully, they may turn against you as delusions.  Avoid those who project negativity or it can infiltrate your character and weaken your gifts. Unless your abilities are recognized and encouraged, you will eventually become afraid of them or lose them altogether, as they need positive development to take full advantage.

 

 

Mars conjunct Uranus  (Strength:  4.48)

 

(The Skyrocket)

 

Your energies are often restless, rather than productive.  You can be rebellious and hard to handle with little sense of the perils you attract.  One must expect the unexpected with your erratic behavior.  Find practical ways to use your sporadic bursts of strength and you may suddenly rise to fame.  However, as quickly as you reach your zenith, you may return to the humdrum of day-to-day living.  Even with your amazing stamina, you need time to recover from your feverish exploits.

 

 

Moon conjunct Saturn  (Strength:  3.91)

 

(The Responsible)

 

You may have had to take on “too much too soon,” but find ways to lighten your load.  Taking duty seriously does not mean jeopardizing your health or even your sense of humor. You tend to be hard on yourself, over-critical and frustrated because you feel out of synch with others, but you will develop excellent discipline and become self-reliant and trustworthy.  You recognize your mortality, but take as your creed: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going!”

 

 

Neptune sextile Pluto  (Strength:  2.67)

 

(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.”

 

 

Saturn conjunct Pluto  (Strength:  2.03)

 

(The Penny-saver)

 

Thrift is important to you.  You can just feel deprived, or aspire to become a super-achiever, as you overcome poverty of spirit, affection or financial needs.  You will learn to value money, manage and multiply it.  At about age fourteen, you will begin to see the results of your early efforts.  It is possible to go from rags to riches.  Avoid a narrow or workaholic regimen that offers security but can cause you to lose sight of potentials that promise greater fulfillment.

 

 

Mercury conjunct Saturn  (Strength:  1.82)

 

(The Cautious)

 

You are apt to take a negative point of view so that you can be “prepared for the worst.”  If you are narrow in your opinions of people, you will criticize them out of your life, but you can also see through attempts to deceive you or correct imperfections in relationships, as long as you are open to change.  Learn not to project an attitude of gloom and if you have genuine complaints, air them before they are misinterpreted through your wary actions.

 

 

Sun sextile Mars  (Strength:  1.68)

 

(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.

 

 

Saturn sextile Neptune  (Strength:  1.36)

 

(The Soulful)

 

You have a deep understanding of the relation of the spiritual to the corporeal and the ability to fit them into your life’s role.  You take the problems of others to heart and share your resources, though it may mean sacrifice on your part.  You may gain a reputation as a “sober sides” because you are serious about your beliefs.  If you are religious, you adhere to doctrines, dogmas and creeds and use them in daily life as practical guidelines to bettering yourself and others.

 

 

Sun sextile Uranus  (Strength:  0.16)

 

(The Changeable)

 

You are interested in “everything in the universe,” adapt to new circumstances and absorb fresh ideas quickly, but are lacking in follow-through and self-discipline.  “Up-front” in your attitude, you express yourself well as an individual.    You can be a faithful friend, but your partners must accept your chameleon-like qualities.  You see resistance to change as an intolerable restriction, since you view it as a key to improving your life and the lives of others.

 

 

 

 

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 Water

 

For you the world of feelings may be terra incognita.  Close interpersonal relations, which require the expression of feelings, and empathy for others’ feelings, do not come naturally or easily for you.  You have difficulty putting yourself in someone else’s shoes in order to feel what they feel.  You will learn how to deal with life in a tough, mental sort of way.  People looking for someone to empathize with them should not come to you.  Those people who are comfortable with you are not looking for emotional closeness.  It’s not that you don’t have emotions and feelings, but they do not come out easily in your relationships.  If you are an artist, they may come out in your art.  You probably take refuge from the difficulty of forming emotional connections by concentrating on intellectual, practical, or inspired activity.  Your best companions would be those who are able to inhabit these realms with you, but who are also in touch with their feelings.  They can help you to contact your own feelings and teach you to respect and honor other people’s feelings.

 

A lack of planets in Water signs can be offset by a Water sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Endings.

 

 

Abundant Mutable

 

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances.  Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest.  Life offers a succession of roles to play.  Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone’s friend.  You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others’ needs that you lack direction in your own life.  Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value.  Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help.  The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve.  You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference.  The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten.  Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.
