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 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.
Moon in Virgo

(The Spartan)

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

(The Capricious)

You may have the inventive qualities of an Edison or an Einstein, but instead of being an “egghead” may end with “egg on your face.” You look towards tomorrow, but seldom at yesterday, where you might profit from experience. You are often seen as “unfeeling” because you neglect loved ones in taking the freedom to be a friend to others. Include those closest to you in your aspirations. They admire your unusual gifts and offer the support you need for success.
Venus in Aquarius

(The Unconventional)

You are attractive, intelligent and generous to a fault. Your outgoing nature and congenial personality make it easy for you to make friends. You are intrigued by the eccentric and bizarre and may become involved with some unusual companions. Since you are emotionally detached, some relationships are on a platonic basis. Perhaps it is because you enjoy giving rather than receiving that you distance yourself from intimacies that require commitment.
Mars in Virgo

(The Indispensable)

You perform “to the letter” and often to an “nth” degree that is unnecessary. You seem to have unlimited physical resources, take orders well and respect regimen, but may have difficulty in relating to co-workers. In arguments, you express quickly, accurately, and, too often, sarcastically. You are a valuable helpmate in personal relationships, though a need to avoid expressing yourself in a superior manner should be recognized and modified to an acceptable level.
Jupiter in Taurus

(The Show-off)

You can be too extravagant because of your love of luxury, but if you choose to spend your hard-earned money, who’s to say it’s not your privilege? You can be too aggressive in getting what you want and too stubborn to change your mind after you get it. Again, since you are a super-achiever, who can criticize you for doing things your way?
Saturn in Pisces

(The Stabilizer)

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

(The Quirky)

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

(The Whirlwind)

You try to stay so busy that personal commitment is impossible. If you take on more than you can handle, you cannot blame yourself for “failures.” You feel your education is inadequate. True communication is never one-sided. Allow others to voice their questions and opinions while you prepare answers gleaned from the worthwhile knowledge you possess.
Planets in Aspect

Moon opposite Saturn (Strength: 4.88)

(The Reserved)

Partnerships are trying because you are an independent person who finds compromise difficult. You may have a need to control if you feel others do not work in your best interest. Your failure to communicate or expose your feelings can cost you friends and business losses because none can penetrate the stone image you present. If you and your plans are deserted, it may be that you give the impression that you prefer to be on your own and your wish for isolation is granted.
Mercury square Neptune (Strength: 4.40)

(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.
Jupiter opposite Neptune (Strength: 4.36)

(The Wastrel)

It is difficult for you to see “the trees for the forest” sometimes, because of your inclination to put a mask on reality. You mean well, but are extremely idealistic and can become lost in generalities, since you seldom “fine tune” the picture. Despite your abstractions, you are intuitive and may take risks that pay off. If you cannot be sure your plans are practical, take the advice of someone with more experience to keep you grounded, with a realistic chance at success.
Uranus conjunct Pluto (Strength: 3.96)

(The Unrestrained)

You are convinced that new ways are the best ways because they are your ways. Since you don’t take discipline readily, you may be in conflict with authority figures. Older people with “old-fashioned ways” seem particular adversaries. Your life is one of evolvement, without “encumbrances” to hold you back, including relationships. You may be wise beyond your years, but must have the patience to wait until you know what the universe is about before trying to change it.
Jupiter trine Pluto (Strength: 3.12)

(The Activator)

You are consumed with a yearning for self-improvement, but must ask yourself why you are so driven. You can inspire others as a “mover and a shaker” whose motivation is justified in the success you achieve, but it may not be enough. Expand your efforts to include those who lack your zeal or courage to act on what they devoutly believe. In helping others, you constantly renew yourself, your ambitions and the confidence that you can continue to grow by going the “extra mile.”
Mercury square Jupiter (Strength: 2.76)

(The Racer)

You are entirely optimistic about your potential for the future and are in a hurry to be first with the most! But, before you can make genuine progress, you must allow yourself time to grow and learn. Otherwise, you may neglect essentials that can make or break your plans. If impatient, you can deny yourself opportunities for travel or higher education that would assure not only your success, but the ability to keep your balance, once you have scaled the heights!
Venus inconjunct Uranus (Strength: 2.47)

(The Exotic)

You are drawn to unusual and sporadic love affairs. You may indulge in sexual fantasies, which you may or may not put into action. If the latter is true, you can pay a high price for your experiments in the form of social diseases. As erratic as you are in love, you are likely to find unconventional ways to make money, but since your attention-span is short, you may find yourself drifting as a job-hopper without the patience to commit to one field of endeavor.
Sun inconjunct Mars (Strength: 2.17)

(The Precocious)

The excitement on which you thrive may be the cause of your basic instability. You are frustrated by “lazy” or indifferent attitudes and can turn your volatility into inflammatory health problems. Your haste can produce accidents and injuries which may involve your partners. Discrimination should become your watchword. Consider the views of others. Rather than scatter your energies, wait for the proper moment to channel them towards your success.
Venus square Jupiter (Strength: 1.61)

(The Spoiler)

Your tendency to exaggerate may be your downfall. You may confuse wishing with attaining and neglect a proper foundation for rewards. You are fond of social activities, but find it hard to resist temptations of the flesh, so may overindulge in foods that are too rich or drinks that are too potent. It is hard to discourage you. You are forever optimistic and in such good spirits that it would take a heart of stone to try to bring you down or ruin your day.
Venus inconjunct Pluto (Strength: 1.49)

(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.”
Jupiter trine Uranus (Strength: 1.08)

(The Favored)

You are blessed with unexpected opportunities that seem to materialize from nowhere. But, unless you are quick to take advantage, they may vanish like smoke from a Genie’s lamp. Fortunately, you enjoy or will create the necessary freedom to accept any bounty that comes your way. If it involves change, your pleasure is doubled. You are ready to grow, expand and, when given the chance, develop the ability to fly towards your fortune with the wind at your back!
Sun conjunct Mercury (Strength: 1.00)

(The Conversationalist)

You express your opinions and ideas well, and may preface each sentence with “I”, since your focus is on yourself. If you are promoting your interests commercially, you will get your point across, but should listen to the views of others to enhance your chances of success. You enjoy travel and meeting with people to exchange ideas. You are a natural teacher. If you show a flair for writing, voicing your opinions may be useful and is often the mark of a successful columnist.

Sun opposite Moon (Strength: 0.35)

(The Tug O’War)

You feel that others do not understand you and constantly oppose your ideas or goals. Close relationships suffer if you vent anger or resentment. At times, you may feel pulled in two directions. If your life is one of endless indecision and emotional turmoil, you must recognize that the conflict is within you. Rely on inner feelings to validate your actions. In times of stress you will find what “works for you” and use your enormous e
nergy in a positive manner.

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 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 Fire

You are willing to let flashier individuals take center-stage and lead the way. You are probably unenthusiastic about change and are passive when it comes to creating change through leadership. You may be aggressive in a defensive way, but lack the self-confidence to take the offensive. Lacking the impulsiveness of Fire, you are more likely to be a careful worker and a reliable mate, though you could stand to be less detached and more personally involved with your spouse and family.

A lack of planets in Fire signs can be offset by a Fire sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Life.
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.
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.
Lack of Cardinal

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

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