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 Leo

(The Prominent)

Everything is a “big deal” in your life. You expand both the negatives and positives and express yourself dramatically. You are a “head-turner,” like the attention you attract, are generous with your money and enjoy being thought of as a “big-time spender.” Your organizational ability, coupled with your self-confidence and popularity, often places you ahead of your competition in business, though you must watch a tendency to become “bossy.” If you are too self-indulgent, you should call upon your natural honesty and recognize it as a fault which may be difficult to overcome.
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 Capricorn

(The Austere)

You are extremely aware of social status and chances to improve your position. Your determination and ambition are admired by your business associates. You may marry the “boss’s daughter/son”. Once committed, you are unswervingly faithful and loyal, but your marriage can be “an arrangement” rather than a love-match. You will make your family proud, but may deprive your spouse or others of affection, due to your emotional nature, which is often severe and unyielding.
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.
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

Sun trine Mars (Strength: 5.86)

(The Self-possessed)

You are confident, but not often “cocky.” You attract the opposite sex and others who admire your independence, though you adjust readily to partnerships which increase your scope. You review your progress regularly and update your potential, so are prepared for achievement without egoistic pitfalls to delay your success. You may excel in physical sports, but true to your pattern are well-rehearsed, and play for the challenge of a game — not for the win, alone.
Sun opposite Moon (Strength: 4.78)

(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 energy in a positive manner.
Venus square Saturn (Strength: 4.72)

(The Rigid)

You expect relationships to conform to your standards, which can make a bonding permanent but sacrifice the interaction of stimulation and growth. In business or personal partnerships, it is impossible to hold a line that is altogether unbending and expect everyone to be happy within its perimeters. Communication is vital to your unions to find ways to endure that will not make you feel isolated or alone, even though you are bound to one another.
Moon sextile Saturn (Strength: 4.43)

(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.
Sun trine Saturn (Strength: 4.20)

(The Mason)

You lay your foundations with an awareness that you are building for tomorrow. Authority figures appreciate your dedication and ability to organize your work so that all runs smoothly. Your needs and the needs of others are met in your relationships, though there may be a generation gap between you. If you remain stable but flexible, you should enjoy the success you deserve for your patience and inherent understanding of yourself and those who care for you.
Mercury sextile Uranus (Strength: 3.84)

(The Exhilarated)

You constantly search for adventure and attract those who stimulate action and change. You enjoy talking about unusual escapades which may or may not suit your lifestyle, but because you are restless and curious by nature, you pursue the unique and sometimes bizarre. Your sense-of-humor can take the form of practical jokes which are not always appreciated. Relish your zest for life but learn to respect others who are still entitled to do things “their way.”
Neptune sextile Pluto (Strength: 3.49)

(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.”
Venus square Pluto (Strength: 2.57)

(The Profound)

You may appear to be something you’re not to get what you want or to attract the mysterious, because you are intrigued by the unknown. The intensity of your nature can tempt you to use underhanded methods to fulfill your compelling desires. If another exerts an undesirable influence over you, you may not break away because of basic insecurities. Only light can dispel darkness. Find ways to avoid what is unwise, unsafe, or unhealthy to restore you to politic thinking.
Moon trine Neptune (Strength: 2.23)

(The Muse)

Your strange and wonderful dreams may be precognitive, since you are intuitive and can use this way of venting your feelings. They can also be useful in creative work, where fantasy is as important as practicality. You express spiritually, though you may not adopt an orthodox religion. You shun coarseness and identify with gentleness. Your relationships are idealistic, but you must watch a tendency to overdramatize them, as did Romeo and Juliet.
Moon inconjunct Venus (Strength: 2.15)

(The Defiler)

Your daydreams can get you into trouble, if you fail to separate them from reality. You may be inconsistent in your plans, tend to be fickle and settle for “whatever feels good.” Your self-indulgence can lead to a variety of health problems due to promiscuity in sex or “escaping” into addictive substances. Moderation in all things will help to balance your impulsive nature. At least, try to look and listen before taking a leap that may well spell your downfall.
Mars conjunct Saturn (Strength: 2.07)

(The Investor)

You are able to balance restraints of work loads and fulfill your obligations, but demand rewards for your untiring efforts. Willing to earn, as well as pay your way, you are astute in making investments that are usually substantial and free of risk. If frustrations are not given release, they can lead to extreme anger and result in an accident-prone syndrome by way of expression. Know your limitations, and rejoice if you are a large frog in a small puddle.
Moon sextile Mars (Strength: 1.64)

(The Convincer)

Because your self-respect is obvious, you command attention and may often find yourself in a position of authority. You enjoy defending your beliefs, not in an antagonistic manner, but to validate your feelings as you share your convictions. Others work willingly with and for you. You come into your own when allowed to exercise your initiative. Avoid making impulsive decisions. Your drive is subjective and needs contemplation for lasting results.

Saturn conjunct Pluto (Strength: 1.30)

(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.

Venus square Mars (Strength: 0.79)

(The Arduous)

You try too hard to secure and maintain relationships that are exciting but may be too difficult to last. If you are not demanding, you may attract another who is, and be in constant contention with their desires. Your attractions stem from basic creative urges, so there is a strong physical bonding between you and your partners. Since you are very aware of your individual identity, find ways to express it without the conflicts which can disrupt your unions.

Mercury square Jupiter (Strength: 0.46)

(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!

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 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.
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 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 Mutable

With a lack of planets in the Mutable signs, you probably go your own way in life without caring too much what other people think. You know what you want and see little need to compromise. You lack flexibility and adaptability. You do best when you can establish a pace and stick to it. Leave those sports and activities that require fast reactions and adaptability to others.

Sometimes you say things that offend others, because you are not especially concerned with the feelings or opinions of others. In fact, you sometimes appall your friends with your single-mindededness and lack of sensitivity. Because of your individuality, people who are attracted to change and variety may find you stimulating at first, but after a while might find your predictability to be boring. This is unlikely to keep you from pursuing your path. Your path involves being yourself and changing the world. Just don’t insist that others be like you.

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