SECTION I.  The Structure and Intent of Your Life.

There are four items of general interest that we want to take up here in Section I: A) Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis, B) Elements and Modes, C) The Ascendant and Midheaven, and D) The Conjunctions.  These four categories give us an intelligent overview of how you structure personal experience and what you aim for in life.  This general patterning gives us a context to understand the specific personal meaning of the material in Sections 2 through 11.

     A.  Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis

The different areas of life are laid out in the horoscope by spatial territories called houses.  These areas of life show interests and general involvements for each person.  These areas can be grouped together for a vast overview of most basic inclinations of the person. The most useful general groupings of houses is into hemispheres and quadrants.  Emphasis in a hemisphere or quadrant shows a particularly strong focus toward life from that perspective.

          1. Hemisphere

The horoscope can be split into 2 equal parts, either horizontally (giving us the upper and lower hemispheres) or vertically (giving  us the right and left hemispheres).  The Upper Hemisphere shows the outer, more extroverted side of the personality, the Lower Hemisphere shows the more introverted and hidden side of the personality.  In the Left Hemisphere planets are rising and this shows action.  In the Right Hemisphere planets are setting and this shows reaction.

Most Planets Above the Horizon

You have the majority of your planets above the horizon showing that you have a need for contact with the outer world in order to feel fulfilled each day.  You enjoy projects, achieving and a sense of accomplishment.  Success for its own sake is more important than what security it might present to you.

Most Planets Rising

You have the majority of your planets on the eastern half (or left-hand side) of your chart showing that you take great pains to be sure that you are free to act as you wish in life.  Freedom of movement and expression are important to you.  You have a strong feeling that you make your own destiny.

          2. Quadrant

The two ways of splitting the horoscope into hemispheres can be applied simultaneously giving us four quadrants.  The FIRST is called the quadrant of personality.  The SECOND is called the quadrant of the environment.  The THIRD is called the quadrant of relationship.  The FOURTH is called the quadrant of service.

No Quadrant Emphasis

You tend to diversify your energy and attention to several different areas of life.  You may have difficulties in achieving your goals in life until you order your priorities.  You can be a master at balancing many different aspects of life when you learn to use your time wisely. Avoid letting your mind dwell on projects you are not immediately engaged in.  Keep your attention in the here and now and your life becomes much simpler.

     B.  Elements and Modes

The Elements and Modes show what we aim for in life.  They show our broadest focus and in the most general sense, how we go about achieving our goals.

          1. Elements

The four elements (fire, earth, air and water) are the most comprehensive inventory of the personality that we have. Everything in the universe including the human personality can be examined in terms of the four elements.  FIRE is your basic enthusiastic urge,  EARTH shows your concern for the material world,  AIR is the element of abstract thought,  WATER is your empathy impulse.  Fire and earth are primitive and focus on the self.  Air and water are derivative and focused on others.  Fire and air are naturally extrovert, optimistic, active, and freedom oriented.  Earth and water are basically introvert, pessimistic, passive, and security oriented.

Fire

Uranus is your only fire planet.  You have 10% of your chart in fire. You struggle to sustain your energy and enthusiasm for projects that you become involved in.  Usually, your desire for freedom and uniqueness is the spontaneous force that brings you into a personal project.  There is always a danger you can get more projects going than you can complete.  Your worldly success is helped along as your learn to deal with your own unique sense of timing.

Earth

You have an abundance of earth in your chart showing that you are a cautious and thorough person.  You build material security in life. If, for any reason, this isn't happening you feel miserable.  This can point to a problem of valuing the wrong things in life and chasing empty dreams.  Ask yourself how much you really need and let it go at that.  You can be an earnest and hard working person if over-acquisitiveness doesn't blind you.

Air

You have no air in your chart.  This shows that you spend little or no time thinking about abstract issues.  You go straight to the "bottom line".  It often appears to people that you come up with an answer to a question without any intermediate reasoning process.  You do need to be careful that you don't act before you think, but the truth of the matter is that you just don't need to go through a slow, logical process.  You need to be sure that your style of action does not offend people you wish to be close to.  You may seem to lack diplomacy but this doesn't mean you are lacking in interest in people or that you don't care about others.

Water

You have 30% of your chart in the water element.  The emotional content of your chart is so strong that it is never a neutral ingredient in your life.  How you are able to integrate this quality of empathy into the rest of your personality traits will determine how well you will mingle with others.   Learning good relationship skills early in life is very important to your proper adjustment and socialization to life and your culture.

          2. Modes

The three modes are CARDINAL, FIXED, and MUTABLE.  The modes of expression show how you act out your urges in the world.  They represent your most basic responding mechanism toward all of life experience.  The cardinal planets show direct expression in physical action, leadership ability and strength.  The fixed mode planets in your chart show reaction, consistency, persistency, endurance and stubbornness.  The mutable planets in your chart show synthesis, blending, malleableness, thought, forethought, debate and wisdom.  The following statements show the way the three modes manifest in your life.

Cardinal

You have 20% of your chart in the cardinal mode showing that you are capable of both leading and following.  You know how to assert your point of view or execute someone else's.  Your preference is to follow someone else's lead and embark on your own path only when you feel it is necessary.

Fixed

A tremendous amount of your chart is in the fixed mode.  You have endurance.  Whether a course of action is good or bad you are more likely to stay with it than change.   The principle of inertia is with you.  When you rest, you have real difficulty getting going.  When you are in motion,  you have real difficulty stopping or even changing directions (even  slightly).  People find you a loyal friend and a tenacious enemy.

Mutable

You have 20% of your chart in the mutable mode. Your natural preference is to act or stay put when a circumstance of significance arises in your life.  When important ingredients in your life are beyond your control you are capable of making deep and meaningful adjustments even though this is not your first choice.

     C.  The Ascendant and Midheaven (Signs and Aspects)

          1.  The Ascendant

The ascendant is symbolic of our relationship to our immediate environment.  This is the point rising in the east when we are born. One manifestation of our immediate environment is our physical body. The physical environment includes our body, our surroundings and our emotional and mental states.  Thus, the ascendant tells us how our inner core expresses itself, and how we take in information from others and the universe generally. The sign rising in your horoscope tells us the type of energy you are processing, the type of physical body that you have for doing the processing and the natural inclinations you have in the personal arena in life.  The planets in aspect to your ascendant tell us the kind of energy and stamina you have as natural allies in life.  The ascendant is opposite the seventh house cusp (the place where we meet others and the world).  This axis (ascendant-descendant) is how we clarify ourselves through relationships. Planets in aspect to this axis indicate the types of people and the types of relationships we seek as well as how and why we seek them.

                            CAPRICORN RISING

You are practical and thorough in your outlook.  Your life gets better and easier as you get older.  There are some times when you take advantage of others by not clearly facing your own drives and needs. This is prevented by coming to terms with and overcoming your own insecurities; for when the security instinct powers you unconsciously, you make some limiting and limited decisions.  It is to your credit that you always learn from these experiences and your integrity grows as you age.  Your parents' relationship to each other tends to be the role model that you unconsciously carry into marriage and all other close relationships. Once you feel truly responsible for your own life you have the internal mechanisms in place to develop loving relationships that are close and personal without being repetitious. People like you because you are cautious in making commitments so they know what that can count on from you.  You do your best to be just and truthful.

Sun Trine the Ascendant

You are very creative and project a powerful sense of yourself into everything that you do.  People see you as someone who can and will do what you say you will do.  You carry the air of authority with you. People like you because you seem more real to them, more alive to them than most people.  This makes your life easier and more successful than most.  You are more comfortable with yourself than most people are and this quality shows.   You have an easier time than most people in putting your positive attributes together in one place and expressing them.

Saturn Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 12th House and unafflicted.

Life is serious for you.  You were born feeling responsible but have always had difficulty in expressing it.  Self doubt and worry can cast a long shadow over everyday life until you uproot deep inner conflict. Your serious outlook can give you the ability to work for a cause in a constructive and giving way. You are practical, cautious, and conservative by inclination. Slow, steady progress can be yours as these qualities aid you. Be responsible, not fearful.  Worry is your enemy and consideration and humility your friends.

          2.  The Midheaven

The Midheaven is the high point in your chart.  It indicates what you aspire for, what you see as your duty, and what authority and limits are about.  Because of this basic meaning the Midheaven indicates how you live out your social station and what you do for your career.  The point opposite the Midheaven is the fourth house cusp, referred to as the nadir, which is the indication of our roots, our heritage. This axis (Midheaven-Nadir) indicates the way we grow in life.  The sign on the Midheaven shows our basic energy and approach toward dealing with the world.  Planets in aspect to the Midheaven show qualities of our inner being that we wish to contribute to the world and that we wish to be fulfilled through our interaction with the outer world.

                            SCORPIO MIDHEAVEN

You are fixed in your approach to handling your duties.  In order to accomplish any task, your taste runs toward extreme methods. You are "all or nothing" in your general mode of operation.  You may have periods of evaluating your commitments, but once a choice is made, you are loyal to people, causes, and your own perceptions.  Your success comes through your intensity of focus.

Sun Separating Opposition to Midheaven and unafflicted.

You show a strong and vibrant personality to the world.  You are interested in learning and will make your way in life based on your ability to use the skills that develop from this interest. You have a vision of where you belong in life that gives you leadership qualities. Others like your manner of assertion and this wins you a standing vote of confidence from those around you.

Mars Trine Midheaven

You have a large amount of extra energy to put into your career. You execute your plans swiftly.  You are good at being able to spot an opportunity and to capitalize on it.  You work well by yourself or in a position of leadership and generally, you find your niche.

Pluto Square Midheaven

You can end up in meaningless stalemates with bosses and authority figures.  Your cycle of achievement comes to a halt every so often as you struggle to make your will live within the limits of your life. You often compensate for your deep fears by your strength.  Your will or inner strength is linked to your ability to endure or suffer. Relearning expression of the will requires some emotional unraveling. This may be a slow process of analysis or self-discovery.

     D. The Conjunctions.

A Conjunction occurs when two planets are in the same immediate area of the Zodiac.  The conjunctions in your chart show central linkings of basic energies in your life.  When one area (represented by a planet) expresses itself, it brings along the other area (represented by the other planet).  When you are studying the rest of this printout of your life, keep in mind that linking of these energies is a central theme in your life and these areas should be studied together.

Sun Conjunct Mercury

Think of Sections II. THE SUN - Your ego structure, and IV. MERCURY -Your mental life, as a single unit.  These two very primary ingredients of your being express themselves together. Whatever affects one of them affects both of them.  This Conjunction represents a central theme in your life.

Moon Conjunct Neptune

Think of Sections III. THE MOON - Your personal life, and X. NEPTUNE -Your spiritual aspirations and ideals, as a single unit. This Conjunction colors your unconscious habits and your basic attitude toward life.  This is an extremely important ingredient of your identity and represents a primary attribute of your personality.

Mercury Conjunct Venus

Think of Sections IV. MERCURY - Your mental life, and V. VENUS -Your love nature, as a single unit.  This Conjunction is a central indicator of the way you interact with people and your environment.

SECTION II.  The SUN - Your Ego Structure

The Sun is the center of the solar system.  All life revolves around it within this sphere.  In the same way, the ego is the center of personal identity and gives integration and continuity to individual experience. In this sense, it might be said that the Sun shows character.  This is the fixed pillar at the center of the person around which all else circulates or revolves.

The sign placement of the Sun shows the center of the individual's basic character.  The sign of the Sun is the most primary indicator of the forms of experience you are attracted to.  Further, this most important placement shows how and why you are attracted to these experiences.

The house placement of the Sun sign shows the primary area of expression for the individual in life.  There is a psychological, emotional, and physical significance to the house placement of the Sun. Aspects to the Sun show ways that the core of the personality are linked to other component elements in the individual's life.  Aspects to the Sun have a deep and overriding significance in the life of the individual and are generally more important, more prominent than other aspects in the chart.

SUN IN TAURUS

You have a strong sense of how much something is worth.  You value security and will seldom be willing to trade it for adventure.  You have an innate understanding of the principles of amassment.  You seek to build something of lasting consequence. You are not necessarily quick but you do have staying power. Often, you establish yourself in life through sheer endurance. At rock bottom, you are solid and rather conservative.  You have a preference for the way things have been. When you learn to adapt to changing circumstances your life improves.

Sun in 3rd house

You get off to a fast start in life.  You expect to be good at what you do.  You see competency as primarily a matter of experience, and you set out to gather a broad understanding of people, your environment and life in your early years.  The natural lines of growth in life show that you concentrate on communication and learning as your self-picture develops.

Sun in 3rd house Unafflicted

You are dynamic and enthusiastic, a natural communicator and doer.  You create the picture of someone who is fun loving and generous.  Others tend to like you very much.  You do best in projects that can be completed quickly.

SUN CONJUNCT MERCURY

You have a very close alignment between your mental skills and your ego.  This can give you great depth of perception and great resolve. You need to be careful that you don't become dogmatic or develop "tunnel vision".  When you become focused on one thing for a long time, you may suffer from nervous exhaustion.  Learn to take breaks without losing your initiative.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You are lucky, but suffer from the tendency to "overplay your hand". You feel lucky and justified in the good coming to you. Your optimism easily becomes opportunism.  Your life improves when you insist on "earning your own way".  Pride will sometimes block your vision. Conceit leads you to wrong choices.  Try being more empirical and less superstitious.  Learning comes naturally and when you translate this quality into learning about yourself, life gets better in many ways. Strive for integrity when you catch yourself being overly pompous.

SUN SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR JUPITER

You build an empire of self-esteem, confidence and promises, only to see it swept away by one poor decision.  This happens when you reach for too much.  Your life is a constant adventure.  Dramatic ups and downs can be counteracted by finding your limits in safe ways.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You are self-disciplined and self-aware.  You are ambitious and are willing to work hard to put your vision into action.  Your naturally conservative instincts lead on a safe and sure path although it may well be a slow one.  Being basically of sound judgment and reliable, people tend to trust you; these qualities alone may put you in a position of leadership at some point.

SUN TRINE YOUR SATURN

Your upbringing, family, and personal history lead you to expect the good in life.  Your lofty expectations underlie the "lucky breaks" that come to you.  Your personality has a cautious, serious, and disciplined ingredient that supports your vision of life which is practical and specific but also limited.  Your productivity is linked to your instinct for finding the "law of gravity" operating through the center of any project.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You have a strong will, an abrupt manner, and a highly original form of self-expression.  You need to be careful that your basically iconoclastic nature doesn't end up separating you artificially from others.  Your need for freedom, independence, and uniqueness plays havoc with your life in youth but becomes more a force for progressive change as you get older.  You love the dramatic and are a true romantic.  You have a major lesson in life: to gain freedom through responsibility rather than freedom from responsibility.  Once learned, relationships and projects become much more stable.

SUN SQUARE YOUR URANUS

You are stubborn and rebellious with a powerful drive for personal freedom at all cost.  You are quite creative but unstable.  The adventuresome spirit is always part of your nature, but your iconoclastic spirit mellows into humanitarianism as you age.  Your thirst for new experiences can have you leaping from situation to situation until you become disciplined.

SECTION III.  The MOON - Your Personal Life.

The Moon inscribes a circle around the earth.  It moves more swiftly than other astronomical bodies and thus represents day to day and moment to moment movements, adjustments and preoccupations.  The Moon is the symbol of the personal life which is molded and shaped by our environment, by events, and by social and familial expectations. Further, the Moon shows our responses to life which are based on our past habits, experiences, our heritage and our individual and collective cravings.

The sign placement of the Moon shows how you project yourself to the general public, how the instinctive and imaginative component of your mind operates, how you express your feelings and your most general experiences of your family and mother.

The house placement of the Moon shows how and where you make day to day adjustments.  Further, it shows the things you are most interested in dealing with in order to gain emotional equilibrium.

The aspects of the Moon show the general characteristics of the personality that are emphasized.  Planets in aspect to the Moon are symbolic of qualities in the personality that are used instinctively, habitually and with a high degree of versatility.

MOON IN SCORPIO

You  are  intense  and  determined.    You  take  your  emotions  very  seriously.  You  have  a  deep  attachment  to  the  past  and  a  passionate  and  proud  nature,  willing  to  go  your  own  way  when  the  crowd  is  moving  in  the  wrong  direction.    You  have  the  ability  to  make  your  life  better  because  you  know  how  to  use  past  experiences  positively.    Your  feelings  are  quite  magnetic  and  people  either  love  or  hate  you,  but  they  are  seldom  indifferent  to  you.

Moon in 8th house

You develop deep emotional attachments.  Because you feel so deeply for others you tend to be "all or nothing" in relationships.  If you let people into your life at all you let them in completely.  You may collect money from inheritance, insurance, and the government.  This connection to social structures and common energy resources may be pointing to difficulties with letting go of past ties and relationships. Letting go of the past is necessary to grow.

Moon in 8th house Unafflicted

You are attempting to overcome your need for a personal life. While this may seem extreme to those in your life who care for you, generally you know how to "throw away the bath water and keep the baby".

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MERCURY

You have a restless mind and a lively imagination.  You learn quickly because you can imitate what you see others do.  It is possible to become over-sensitive to the environment and to make changes that are unnecessary through excessive imagination, worry, and slipshod, careless methodology.  Your interest in communicating your ideas and perceptions to others often needs to be slowed down a little.  Strive to make your information gathering and study habits stable and regular.

MOON OPPOSITION YOUR MERCURY

Trivial matters can greatly upset your emotional balance.  You can be quite nervous and touchy, hearing criticism and irritation where other ears perceive only observations.  Facts of everyday life come to you loaded with emotional meaning.  When you feel that the environment is friendly you see differentiations and implications lost on less sensitive souls.  Your digestion can be upset by your nervousness, hurry, or worry.  Your life is easiest when you wait for others to act before you start to speak.  Your skills are usually better used as a commentator or observer and generally less useful as a motivator.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR VENUS

You have a desire to come before the public, to be recognized by others.  You are really shy and have difficulty putting your best foot forward.  At times, you withhold yourself or even intentionally put your worst foot forward.  You want to gain acceptance for who you really are rather than take people in with a surface charm.  You long for significance and relationships are always in jeopardy until you know and accept yourself at a deep level.

MOON OPPOSITION YOUR VENUS

Fear that public perceptions of you are unrealistic, you strive to be your own person.  This means in consequence that you often put "your worst foot forward" so others don't attribute talents, attitudes, and attributes that aren't really yours.  You want to be recognized, but only for who and what you really are.  Be free of what others think of you, then your insights into the working of life help you a great deal. You are particularly concerned about how others judge your taste.  This gives your aesthetic nature a very peculiar twist; you can easily end up posing at something you really aren't.  Learn to be true to your genuine likes and dislikes.  This is important and empowering as it helps break the pattern of being overly influenced by your picture of other people's assessment of you.  As your aesthetic nature becomes more straightforward, you become closer to others. Sugar, carbohydrates, and over-eating can upset your digestion and metabolism. Sugar is a love substitute; get what you really want.  Family and all domestic matters are symbolic of your emotional needs which always seem in some conflict with your love nature.  The frustrating compromises between these two aspects of your nature, which you feel forced into making, actually present you with a long-term path of personal growth. This becomes obvious to you as soon as you see you stop blaming circumstances in the environment (as well as other people) for one side of this conflict.  Taking personal responsibility for your feelings and circumstances paves the path toward healing this split in your nature.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  JUPITER

You are religious, dignified with a sense of justice which gives you a public image of being honorable and trustworthy.  You are well liked and successful.  You have a strong moral sense and are willing to take a stand on your beliefs.  The good comes to you in life.

MOON SEXTILE YOUR JUPITER

You are diplomatic, having an uncanny knack for knowing the right thing to say and do for others.  Your instinctive belief in uniform, natural life processes, assists you as you discover imaginative solutions to difficulties.  You like life and people. They like you back.  Trust is the key ingredient that makes life work.

MOON CONJUNCT NEPTUNE

You are extremely psychic and very sensitive to your environment and your associates.  This sensitivity may be frightening when it stays in the land of day dreams and a real asset when it is harnessed to the immediate and relevant circumstances in your daily life.  The speed of this integration governs the rate of emotional integration and normalcy of living you experienced in childhood.  You have a tendency to retreat into fantasy and daydreaming.  If your imagination is harnessed and reinforced as a child, art, music, dance and all cultural pursuits become an open book for you.  The arts can become your escape and a constructive and shareable part of your inner life.  You have an uncanny knack for what is happening around you because you are "tuned in" to the larger world.  If you have courage and discipline, you may well have a very positive effect on the whole world.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  PLUTO

A few significant dreams and a few significant people greatly impact your emotional outlook and unconscious life habits. You make absolute judgments emotionally and unconsciously as to who will affect you and who will not.  You come before the general public at some time in your life, even if briefly.  You have a powerful affect on others, passing along to them the deepest residue of your life experience.  You develop deep emotional attachments and do not easily relinquish or alter them. You are a loyal friend once you have made a commitment.

MOON SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO

Your daily habits get restructured periodically.  This happens because you feel the need for change and respond to this feeling enthusiastically.  You are deeply driven and have a powerful need for a wide variety of life experiences within a chosen area or field.

SECTION IV.  MERCURY - Your Mental Life.

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.  From the viewpoint of the earth it seems to dart back and forth across the face of the Sun, having three retrograde cycles a year.  Mercury is the planet of your mental life.  It shows how you receive, process and disseminate information. The sign placement of Mercury shows your basic attitude and mental habits.  The aspects of Mercury show your scope of vision and your methods for accomplishing tasks.

MERCURY IN TAURUS

Your mind is conventional and determined.  Your basic thrust is toward the practical.  You wish to be thorough but sometimes your slow, intuitive approach misses some key ingredients that move in a more subtle realm.  However, when something is registered once with you, you really have it.  You express yourself with great determination.  You are often balanced between a desire for diplomacy and a tendency to be fairly entrenched in your own perceptions. You have a keenly practical picture of the world and take great pleasure in the feel, taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound of things.  Because your perceptions move so close to the earth itself, your mind can lack flexibility.  After all, the law of gravity doesn't allow much variation. Things are what they are.  Adjustment to things beyond your control is difficult.  You would rather ignore something that doesn't fit your perceptions or "dig in" for a fight.

Mercury in 3rd house

You have an inquisitive mind.  Learning and traveling are primary modes of self-expression and expansion.  Talking, writing and studying are adaptational mechanisms for dealing with stress.

Mercury in 3rd house Unafflicted

Your mind and your sense perceptions are clearly aligned.  Others may think that you are nervous at times when you are merely making rapid adjustments to changes in your environment.  Your many and constantly expanding interests give your life an air of excitement.

MERCURY IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

Your mental life is very closely tied in to the core of your being.  We looked at this connection in Section II. The Sun -Your ego structure.

MERCURY IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

This indicates that you have a very personal, feeling mind. You have a very close personal use for your mental life. The details of this connection were discussed in Section III.  The Moon -Your personal life.

MERCURY CONJUNCT VENUS

You have a certain charm and graciousness in your manner of expression.  You have an artistic sense which can come out as beautiful penmanship.  People like you and will often seek you out.  You, in turn, are good at helping others express themselves.  You are courteous, diplomatic, and good at paraphrasing because you have an overview that comes from a multifaceted perspective.

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You are propelled in life by a deep desire to experience and then convey the truth.  You have common sense and the ability to get an extra mile out of yourself and others. Your faith in the inherent goodness or rightness in life sustains you through difficulties.  You are an attentive and curious student and an inspiring teacher.

MERCURY TRINE YOUR JUPITER

You have a way of exaggerating and embellishing descriptions of circumstances in your life in a way that creates a new pathway for others.  Your aim is for a better world for others and a better life for yourself.  You have the ability to communicate the positive ingredients in a situation in a helpful, meaningful and uplifting way.

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You have a disciplined mind and the good fortune to see the virtue in the slow, careful, and picky approach to a problem. You have ability in business, accounting, planning, and teaching. There is a solemn, peaceful side to your mind and you may withdraw periodically to reevaluate your life experiences.  You can sometimes suffer from waiting for something that never comes or investing more time and money in a project that was a bad investment to begin with.  Always enter a project with a predetermined time and energy cutoff point and you will seldom be disappointed.

MERCURY TRINE YOUR SATURN

Precise and well organized in your thinking, you present your ideas in a thorough and structured manner to others.  You are logical and careful in your appraisals of a situation and others tend to trust your judgment, moral fiber and integrity.

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You get great ideas, even brilliant at times.  Still, others don't always hear what you are saying and this makes you angry or standoffish.  Whenever this happens, recognize that you need to be thorough and practical or else the world will not see what you have found so interesting. This is not the world's fault.  Slow yourself down long enough to learn how everyone else does things and you will find a natural channel for getting your ideas across. Remember, a good idea is only a good idea until it is put into practice.  Get physical exercise and you might find your nervousness much easier to control.

MERCURY SQUARE YOUR URANUS

You are an original thinker but you find yourself creating rebellion and moving to the left of even your own co-thinkers. Spontaneous internal combustion in your mental life keeps you moving toward freedom, without getting closure.  Your nervous and iconoclastic attitude makes you difficult to get along with. Practice listening to others without devaluing them in your mind and you will overcome your natural mental self indulgence.

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You see more than you can do.  It's as if you are being led through life responding to a voice that no one else around you can hear.  People may like you a lot and yet think you are quite naive.  You believe in things that others think of as make believe.  This is part of your charm, for part of you has always remained a child.  You need to make sure that you know how to communicate to others based on their perceptions and beliefs, otherwise you have great difficulty belonging to a larger world than the one of your own creation.

MERCURY OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE

You have great difficulties communicating your ideals and values. You see what you want to see.  Perceptions and imagination get confused. Work to get your creativity and highest aspirations across to others regardless of whether or not they receive and understand what you say.

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You go to the origin of a problem once you start working on it. You communicate with a quick, soft-spoken force that others pick up on magnetically.  You have both broad range and depth of interest.  You are very versatile and make a great problem solver.  Your mind is naturally interested in security issues which can run the gambit from ordinary cops and robber stuff, to high tech computer theft, national security, and the international monetary fund.  To fully use your skills you should spend time analyzing your motives.  Do a thorough investigation as to your own beliefs about the meaning of life.  Once you have these issues resolved you will not feel as secretive and your mental energy will be freer.

MERCURY TRINE YOUR PLUTO

Your understanding and depth of insight insure some progress in any field of study.  You are good at solving mysteries as you "see through" any situation.  You feel the inner connections between events, have good technical skills, and love exchanges over deep subjects.  Avoid becoming so deeply involved in your own environment that you don't connect with the outer world.

SECTION V.  VENUS - Your Love Nature.

The planet Venus shows the way you express your love nature and what you aspire for in life as good or beautiful. Venus has much to do with how you form your values.  The sign placement of Venus shows the type of love energy you have.  The house placement of Venus shows the natural area of expression of the love energy. The aspects of Venus indicate how and under what circumstances you express the gentle and loving side of your nature.

VENUS IN TAURUS

You have a love of money, food, and possessions.  You are a very physical, slow and easygoing lover.  You are slow to get involved with someone but you are steadfast once you do.  Although you are by nature conservative and oriented toward your home, you have a pleasant sociable side to your nature and can be quite generous. You may have problems in dealing with others because you have a tendency to evaluate people on their material worth.  In order to have satisfying human relationships, you need to see people more as they are and less in terms of their worth.  Money may be security but it isn't any real compensation for lack of love. You seek inner peace through your sense of touch. Art, music, and harmonious order have deep significance for you.  You have an earthly beauty and a natural charm.

Venus in 3rd house

You have a natural attraction to things which improve your mind. You love music, art, and good literature.  You love pleasant interactions with your relatives and neighbors.

Venus in 3rd house Unafflicted

The communicative skills you have will naturally find expression in whatever you do.  Travel may be very pleasant and you may take short periodic breaks as a means of staying balanced.

VENUS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have an aspect between Venus and the Moon.  This shows that you have a powerful emotional nature and are affected at a deep level by other people's thoughts and opinions of you.  This was taken up in some detail for you in Section III.  The Moon - Your Personal Life.

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You believe in yourself and in people.  Your life tends to improve as you go along.  You have a habit of knowing how to get one positive side of life pulling together with another positive quality.  You acquire money and position as if it was natural to you.  You are good at blending people and attributes of people together to get the most for the effort.  Luck in life is a direct result of your optimism.  Your life betters materially through marriage.

VENUS TRINE YOUR JUPITER

You are genuinely lucky and have a way with women who are lucky for you.  You have long range vision and planning which carries you far. You understand the principle of momentum and know how to get positive linkage working in all of your projects.  You are the master of rolling over accumulated wealth, talent, and energy.  The beautiful things of life come to you and you are big on personal enjoyment.  Occasionally, overindulgence will wear you down.  However, even when you make a bad mistake, you are cushioned against great harm.  Others respond to your charm.

VENUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You are easily led by your feelings.  You are an idealist and a sensitive soul that is having a tough time getting your values to manifest.  People take advantage of you at times because you empathize with others' pain.  You have artistic talent but this is not meant to be a life as an artist.  Consequently, you will have difficulties in youth getting reinforced for your aesthetic efforts.  Later in life you will be a patron of the arts.  Your artistic sentiments will come out and into full bloom in the realm of people.  It takes you a long time to discover who is reliable and who isn't because you would rather believe in the inherent goodness of each person.  You somehow expect that every person will have the same value system and perspective as you.

VENUS OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE

Emotional conflict comes because you have unrealistic expectations of life.  You are inspired by an unattainable ideal. You are creative yet often disappointed by your own inability to achieve your ideals of love and beauty.  Compromise and common sense are necessary in order to get the positive expression you desire.  Realize as an adult you are trying to win approval from a childhood authority figure that isn't present in your life any more.

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You are powerful and magnetic.  You have a magic charm for dealing with people.  You have a universal love for people that is non-sectarian and non-judgmental.  You are sustained by material abundance that comes from others at some time in this life and may have a sizable inheritance. When you get involved with a project you can really pour yourself into it with seemingly limitless energy.  This energy evaporates when you aren't involved in a project of personal importance.

VENUS TRINE YOUR PLUTO

You have a way of hanging on to what is important in your life and getting rid of everything else.  Your love is powerful but very specific.  You have strong likes and dislikes and are very good at emotional discernment.

SECTION VI.  MARS - Your Energy.

Mars is the planet of desires.  It shows how you aim at your goals and how you power yourself toward your goals.  Mars represents your most fundamental wants.  The sign placement of Mars shows the fundamental nature of your assertions.  The house placement of Mars shows the area of your life you are most likely to focus on.  The aspects to Mars show how and to what extent your desires and assertions are involved with other aspects of living.

MARS IN PISCES

You desire an ideal that doesn't manifest in the world around you. When you learn this, your energy is channeled toward a higher realm. Then, life works out well for you.  Until you learn this you dissipate your energy chasing the symbols of the ideal and tend to be quite confused.  Your method for getting what you want is momentary and confused.  You are intuitive in your approach and things tend to get so complicated that even simple things can retreat into the category of the unobtainable.  Your energy becomes stronger and more stable when you get a musical or artistic outlet for your imagination.  The harmony and inner rhythm of the arts allows you to be open to necessary structuring of your impulses.

Mars in 2nd house

You have a desire for money.  Your attention tends to focus on how much you are paid and how others view the monetary worth of your work.  You see material reward as an important calibration of how much the world values your efforts.

Mars in 2nd house Afflicted

You need to work on your attitude towards money - it tends to be unhealthy.  You have given it an artificial value.  Spending, earning, and saving are not very balanced for you.  You suffer thinking that the material world can do something for you that it is poorly designed to do.  Avoid expressing your emotions with things.  Don't touch your material resources when you feel angry and you will feel better about yourself.

MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You are lucky but overstep your limits time and time again.  You are truly lucky when you learn how to walk away from the dice table a winner rather than always going for double or nothing until you lose. Your tendency is always to try to multiply a winning situation rather than just accepting it as a win at face value.  Enough is enough, learn to be satisfied.  In human relationships you are often in a kind of good-natured competition even with those on your team.  You think of this as building character and personal reliance but others will see you as selfish and a poor team player.  Your boldness and bluntness needs to be curbed; for even though people may like you, they will not trust you.

MARS SQUARE YOUR JUPITER

Enthusiasm, energy, optimism and luck carry you a long way in life. However, hypocrisy, misappraisals, tactlessness, and bombasticness cause you trouble.  If you have patience, good judgment, and take the time to lay a good foundation in every project you undertake, you will go far, have a winning flair, and lots of luck.  Your natural instinct to gamble will "do you in", but, controlled, this same impulse gives your personality color.

MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You have quite a temper and your anger will be a stumbling block in life until you have handled it.  You hate being trapped and act quite selfishly when cornered.  This is overcome when you corral your emotional energy and find some peace of mind.  Three things aid in this process.  One, you need physical exercise every day in order to feel emotionally balanced and in good health.  This is a release for your nervous energy.  Two, you need to come to terms with the nature of your desires.  Study your own nature to see what motivates you. This allows you to not blame others for your emotions or the situations you have gotten into.  Three, develop a long range view of change that symbolizes freedom to you.  You are a powerful innovator and just need to re-channel your energy so that you don't have to create and experience so much disharmony.

MARS SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR URANUS

Your energy is electric and jumpy.  Your actions are erratic and spontaneous.  Your search for freedom can take you down many different roads in life.  There can be a destructive and self serving side of your outbursts. Be honest with yourself and you can learn to use your unique talents to help others.

SECTION VII.  JUPITER - Your Values.

Jupiter is the king of the planets.  He is in charge of the order of creation.  Jupiter shows your values, where you feel confident and in control, and where you feel you have something to teach others.  The sign placement of Jupiter shows your values in life. The house placement of Jupiter shows the area of life you feel luckiest in and the area you receive the most help from other people and from the cosmos.  The aspect patterns to Jupiter show the direct network of good and administrative power in your life.

JUPITER IN CAPRICORN

Your values are practical, serious, dutiful and critical.  You are capable of being disciplined and exercise a large amount of self restraint.  You like consistency and have great organizing ability. You tend to know the material worth of things in life much better than most.  Because of this, you are naturally thrifty and good at spotting a bargain.  You have good self-control and are too conscientious to walk away from a position or program that you have taken on as a responsibility.  You are motivated by fame, power, and position much more than by money or material accumulation.  Still, you gain a sense of self worth through what you acquire so you will have a large collection of something (be it money or certificates of achievement) at some time during your life.

Jupiter in 12th house

You have luck.  It may not arrive until the last possible second, but you do have it.  Time spent by yourself is always rewarding. You benefit through meditation, visualization, and quiet study.

Jupiter in 12th house Unafflicted

Your secret life is a deep source of strength and inspiration. You like organization and it is through your affinity for collective efforts that you find expression of your highest ideals.  Others take what you say to them quite seriously.  Never violate a confidence and you will help many people in your life.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have an aspect from Jupiter to the Sun showing a deep connection between your values and your ego.  As a consequence of this you have a stronger faith in your beliefs than most people and you are more likely to act on them.  You have the potential for being quite an inspiration for others.  In Section I. (The Sun - Your Ego Structure) there is more commentary on this trait of yours.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have an aspect from Jupiter to the Moon showing an interest in expressing values through your daily life.  What you believe has more impact on what you do than it does for most other people.  The information on this topic in Section III.  (The Moon - Your Personal Life) may be helpful in grasping how you do this.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

You have Jupiter in aspect to Mercury indicating a deep commitment to communicate something of value.  You will have a commitment to knowing the truth and conveying it to others.  You will find some further information on this topic in Section IV. Mercury - You Mental Life.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO VENUS

You have an aspect of Jupiter to Venus.  This indicates that you expect the positive to happen.  Your life values easily adjust to your taste, love nature and your sense for the beautiful.  This creates some feeling of abundance for you.  Your values are in tune with your affection.  You may find the information in Section V.  (Venus - Your Love Nature) useful in understanding this process.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO MARS

You have an aspect of Jupiter to Mars.  This aspect shows that you have an optimistic spirit and have the ability to assert your desires. Your enthusiasm may come forward as combativeness or as competition but in either case you are a lively participant in life.  Your values and your energy emerge as zest for living. This aspect is commented on further in Section VI.  Mars - Your Energy.

JUPITER IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

Avoid your gambling impulses.  The "long shot" and the impractical choices call you.  Don't answer and you will be richer for it.  You need to be grounded because your imagination is so far beyond the happenings of our common reality that you are likely to start selling real estate franchises on Mars before anyone has ever landed there. Make sure your ideas are practical before you start putting effort into them.  New ideas you will always have; your difficulties come from putting energy into them.  You don't see the necessity to work for a new idea in a realistic way because you have a belief that worthwhile ideas promote themselves.  Consequently, you can end up "an armchair revolutionary".  Make it a practice to sift through your ideas and actively support the most important.

JUPITER SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR URANUS

You have an undertone of excitement that pushes your life forward no matter what else is happening.  You feel lucky and you generally are, but life does force you to keep on the move as you have an insatiable (even if unconscious) drive for freedom.

JUPITER IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You have spiritual insight into problems that aids your skills in finding solutions.  You emit a certain charm that greases the wheels of life.  You have broad appeal that engenders trust in the general public, regardless of whether or not you can sustain this trust from those who see you close up.

JUPITER SEXTILE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your faith in life and in people gives you a gift.  You are able to turn difficult situations into positive ones.  Further, any time you concentrate on your own talents and innate goodness, circumstances improve.

JUPITER IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You have natural leadership qualities, insight into social and spiritual needs and a sense of humor that stops you from taking yourself or the world too seriously.  You have the ability to teach others because you emit a certain magnetic charge on all that you say and it stays with people.  But, more important than your skill at disseminating information is your ability to find and go directly to any situation that will help you learn and grow.  You are on a quick track in this life and have determined to work on improving the attributes of your personality that need development the most.  You will have material abundance in this life but it may have little importance to you once attained since you are really looking for freedom, and the material abundance only brings you more worldly responsibilities.

JUPITER TRINE YOUR PLUTO

You have luck that won't quit, and consequently you are often cushioned against the worst results that could have come from the mistakes you make.  You explore and experience a lot and sometimes take a wrong turn or go too far.  But you do learn. You have a knack for turning defeat into a fortunate opportunity to grow and change perspectives.

SECTION VIII.  SATURN - Your Obligations.

The planet Saturn shows where you feel restricted.  You feel obligations and fears through Saturn.  Because of your feeling connected with Saturn you are either responsible or neglectful. The sign placement of Saturn shows the basic type of energy connected with your obligations.  The house placement of Saturn shows an area of life that you feel restricted in and work hard to obtain the things that come to you.  The aspects of Saturn show the most direct involvement of other areas of your life with your feelings of responsibility.

SATURN IN CAPRICORN

You are afraid of not getting what you have coming.  You are ambitious but have a sense of personal integrity.  You are always striving for self control and try to channel your energy most productively.  You are willing to start at the bottom and work your way up.  You keep striving and eventually get the recognition that you long for.  As you get older you value inner control more than outer worldly success.

Saturn in 12th house

You are deep inside of yourself.  You are reserved and prone to periods of seclusion.  You need to be left alone when you are working as you are so sensitive to everything and everyone around you.

Saturn in 12th house Unafflicted

You have a long history of being able to devote your attention to important issues of social change.  Sometimes you are too quick to take on struggles for others.  You have a real capacity for selfless service.

SATURN IN ASPECT THE SUN

You have Saturn in aspect to the Sun showing that you identify deeply with your obligations in life.  This aspect of your nature is explored more deeply in Section II.  The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

SATURN IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

You have Saturn in aspect to Mercury showing that you have a serious approach to life and a more reserved outlook.  This is discussed in Section IV.  Mercury - Your Mental Life.

SATURN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You have some deep fears that color your perceptions of what is possible in life.  Your negative attitudes toward yourself and life create real problems for you getting to your goals.  You may attract anger or violence from others as a by-product of your fears, or express your own, as frustration and blocks bubble over.  You have a tendency to "block out" anything that you fear and can't control. Courage and persistency of effort eventually bring an easier pattern in life.

SATURN SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR PLUTO

You may feel victimized by circumstances.  It is easy to feel frustrated when you realize that everything you try to do requires more energy than you thought it would.  Tremendous energy is required for success in life but it is achievable.  It is possible to create great things in life, but for you it always requires deep self-transformation.

SECTION IX.  URANUS - Your Search For Freedom.

The planet Uranus is beyond the orbit of Saturn and can't be seen without the aid of a telescope.  It represents the sky in us, that which transcends the limits of finite life.  Uranus raises the vibration of everything it contacts.  The sign placement of Uranus shows your broadest striving for freedom.  The house placement of Uranus indicates your area of direct unique expression.  The aspects to Uranus indicate the way you express your need for higher consciousness.

URANUS IN LEO

You have an urge to express your creativity.  You throw yourself totally into what you do.  There is a sense of self importance that you could always buy into, but you are really looking for some higher identity.

Uranus in 7th house

You like unique and unusual people.  Engaging with others brings out a healthy competition and helps in the production of new ideas.  You have a romantic streak and you get involved with unusual people quite suddenly.

Uranus in 7th house Afflicted

Your marriage and partnership may lack any real stability.  Try to determine what the concept of freedom really means to you. Spontaneous actions in the name of freedom can push you out of the safety of well established relationships.  Strive to learn freedom through commitments rather than freedom from commitments.

URANUS IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have Uranus in aspect to the Sun showing that you are a freedom lover at heart and this forms a central feature of your personality. This aspect of your nature is explained in Section II.  The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

URANUS IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

You have Uranus in aspect to Mercury.  Your Mental attitudes express your quest for freedom.  This is explained in Section IV. Mercury -Your Mental Life.

URANUS IN ASPECT TO MARS

URANUS IN ASPECT TO JUPITER

You have Uranus in aspect to Jupiter showing that you have a big vision of what life can be at its best.  How this works out for you is discussed in Section VII.  Jupiter - Your Values.

SECTION X.  NEPTUNE - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals.

The planet Neptune has an almost perfectly circular orbit.  It represents the part of our nature that strives for perfection, that looks to some higher ideal.  The planet Neptune rules the ocean and the part of us that is beyond the limits of the shores of personal existence.  The culture moves with the cycles of Neptune and it is the primary indicator of your connection to the culture that you live in. The sign of Neptune shows an ideal that you desire to manifest.  The house placement of Neptune shows the area of your life that you want to express this ideal in.  The aspect patterns of Neptune indicate the most direct connections yet most subtle networking of your personality into the world at large.

NEPTUNE IN SCORPIO

You have powerful and unconscious impulses for sensation.  You wish most of all to keep a social ideal alive through emotional intensity. You struggle to work out your secret desires.

Neptune in 9th house

You are idealistic in your outlook and are always up for long journeys or long-term planning.  You are very intuitive and open to mystical and mythical interpretations of life.

Neptune in 9th house Unafflicted

Your ideals are so lofty that others might see you are always missing a distant target.  The truth is, though, that you steadily approach your far away goal, and your values have their impact even though it may not be immediately obvious even to you.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have an aspect of Neptune to the Moon.  This indicates a deep interest in the arts and in cultural pursuits.  How your aesthetic taste influences your daily life is discussed further in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

NEPTUNE IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You are fundamentally an idealist.  You would like to see change come about in a way that doesn't destroy the existing social order.  You believe in transition and transformation as saner and kinder principles of social change than revolutionary upheaval.

NEPTUNE SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO

Your higher ideals are the continuous recipient of forceful energy for change.  Your long range perspective (even though this may at times be unconscious) is always toward your ideals winning out through deep self transformation.

SECTION XI.  PLUTO - Your Need For Fundamental Change.

The planet Pluto represents the dark underground part of you.  It shows your ability to transform the most fundamental properties in your own inner nature.  The sign of Pluto is the way the obsessive, compulsive and committed part of your nature expresses itself.  The house placement of Pluto shows the area of life where you make your most fundamental and most potent changes. The aspects to Pluto show the deepest most unconscious links in your personality structure.

PLUTO IN VIRGO

At best, you have critical powers to discriminate between that which works and that which doesn't.  There is a striving for perfection at the core of your being that can narrow your horizons so far that you focus too much on basic issues connected with your own life.  At worst, you are so critical that you slow down everyone's effectiveness.  Patience and hard work are required in order to complete your personal transformations.

Pluto in 7th house

You have very high standards and unusual taste in people, partnerships and relationships.  You want deep changes and self-transformation through relationships.  For all this, you are often embarrassed by what others do in relation to you.  You sometimes get locked into relationships that are uncomfortable and don't see a way out.  At times you feel locked out of a relationship that you want.  You have a taste for the extremes.

Pluto in 7th house Unafflicted

You will have a few extremely unusual relationships.  These special relationships will be a cauldron, allowing you a mirror through which you can isolate and rectify qualities of your personality that you don't care for anymore.

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have an aspect of Pluto to the Moon.  You have a deep connection to your mother.  The nurturing side of your personality is being transformed during this life.  The details of this are indicated in Section III.  The Moon - Your Personal Life.

You have an aspect of Pluto to Neptune which shows your involvement in a large cultural process.  This involvement is described in Section X. Neptune - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals.

SECTION XII.  SUMMATION.

     A.  YOUR UNIQUENESS

Part of your style of being a person is tied to your personal method of adapting to and interacting with other people.  This aspect of your personality shows itself through every aspect of how you deal with the environment.  This method of your being encourages as well as reveals your uniqueness.

YOUR MAJOR PLANETARY ASPECT IS A TRINE.

You like to do things in a big way.  You are optimistic and expect to win.  Your positive attitude and general long range view in life gives you the best possible chance to make something good come from your various talents.  Even setbacks look like an opportunity to grow.  Your ability to avoid difficulty seems like luck to others while it is a natural and obvious skill to you. Your keyword is Enthusiasm.

YOU HAVE NO PLANETARY SEMI-SEXTILES.

Many of your unconscious habits change with some frequency.  This disrupts the fabric of your everyday life to the point where you experience less of a connection with the past than is comfortable for you.  Because your past experience does not function as fully as a positive building block for you, as it does for most people, it is difficult for you to use a pilot study as a proving ground for new ideas.  Your ventures often have to be tried in full force to be appreciated or even evaluated.  Consequently, you have difficulty getting your personal vision for the application of an idea to be perceived as practical by others unless you can demonstrate the idea working in its fully manifested form. Accomplishment comes through focusing on a project intensely until it is completed and then sharing it with others.

     B.  YOUR EASIEST AREAS.

The following material is an index of things that you have developed as inner resources.  You may take them for granted, but in times of reevaluation and rest this part of your personality can provide you comfort and strength.

Mercury in the Third House.

You like learning.  This attribute gives you the right inclination toward your environment.  Consequently, you seldom repeat mistakes. You see alternatives others miss; this aids all your decision-making and planning.

Venus in Taurus.

You have a soft, sensitive, sensual side of your nature.  This is a quality that allows you to enjoy the material world and find personal expression for your love nature.

Jupiter in the Twelfth House.

You have unconscious faith in life and social processes.  This positive attitude brings you luck and operates like a guardian angel in your life.

Saturn in Capricorn.

You are responsible.  You have a natural ability to complete any project for which you feel responsible.  You have a good sense of timing.

     C.  YOUR MOST PERSISTENT DIFFICULTIES.

This material describes the "cutting edge" of your work on yourself. The thoughts rendered here are meant as further guidelines for growth. You should take difficulties and challenges in the right spirit.  They are always positive indicators as to how you can experience the joy of becoming a better person and more like your REAL SELF.

Afflicted Mars

Your desires often get you into trouble.  Rechanneling your energy into something constructive is very difficult.  Your natural tendency is to repress your wants or to trade one extreme, like anger, for another such as lust or greed.  Your energy is still a winning quality and good effort eventually brings good results.  You can learn to redirect your impulses through hard work, patience and consistent attention to results.

Afflicted Uranus

You have a habit of expressing your uniqueness at the wrong moments and in the wrong way.  Unhappiness and a feeling of isolation are the end products of your actions that you were hoping would lead to freedom. True freedom comes through responsibilities, not by escaping them. Develop creative outlets for your energy that will not run counter to your basic good will to others and your true responsibilities follow you naturally.

Moon in Scorpio

You are putting the personal life behind you in this life.  You live with emotional extremes.  You have very strong likes and dislikes. When you overcome moodiness and desire a life oriented toward home and family you are happy.

Moon in the Eighth House

Your attachment to the way things used to be hold you back.  Your moods are easier to overcome when you break the pattern of past habits and live more in the present.

Mars in the Second House

You suffer from being too result-oriented in your actions.  Learn to direct your energy toward activities of intrinsic worth even if you will not personally gain from them.

Jupiter in Capricorn

Your value system can limit rather than inspire you.  Try to get your urge to accumulate focused on things that really matter.  If you have your self-acceptance based on what you are rather than what you have, you will become freer from the worry of your position in life.

Uranus in Leo

Your urge for freedom gets thwarted by your need for self expression. You can't build a bigger picture of yourself and overcome personal limitations simultaneously.  As your sense of personal identity reaches toward a larger picture, the impulse for creativity within you can be a tremendous help.

Pluto in Virgo

You suffer in the process of self-transformation because you have difficulty in making the decision to change yourself rather than changing  circumstances in your life.  Get more basic, change your attitudes and habits and life becomes much lighter.

     D.  THE GROWTH ASPECTS

The  Growth  aspects  operate  differently  than  other  aspects  in  your  chart.    While  it  is  possible  to  use  them  descriptively,  as  showing  finer  shades  of  meaning  within  the  chart,  we  wish  to  use  them  in  a  different  manner  for  our  purposes.    The  growth  aspects  are  tools  of  self  development.    If  you  apply  attention  to  the  various  qualities  in  your  nature  linked  through  the  growth  aspects,  you  will  see  positive  change  over  time.    These  qualities  generally  do  not  show  quick  effortless  solutions,  but  instead  show  a  path  of  change  requiring  exertion  and  emotional  honesty.  Under  these  circumstances,  the  way  these  aspects  of  your  nature  change  through  time  are  truly  amazing.  The  qualities  mentioned  here  can  be  the  very  mechanisms  to  release  the  highest,  finest  side  of  your  nature.

Moon in Growth Aspect to Mars

You have a quick emotional trigger.  This in itself is not problematic, but, your sense of timing and the nature of your emotional responses need some adjustment.  As you get more comfortable with your true feelings, you get better at knowing how and when to express yourself. The first step in getting what you want out of life is to recognize what you really desire.  The second step is to become comfortable with what you want.  The third step is to harmonize existing conflicts of drives.  This points you toward the path of higher self development.

Moon Quincunx Mars

Learning to be emotionally consistent is harder for you than for most people because your feelings and desires cover such a wide range of possible expression.  Your manner of self expression can inadvertently add weight and encouragement to components of your personality that you actually wish to minimize or even transform. It takes much experimentation with relationships in order to have emotions that serve your higher needs rather than just running amuck on their own mission of blind, disconnected expression. Either artistic or idealistic goals are necessary to achieve satisfaction.

Mars in Growth Aspect to Pluto

There is a compulsive side of your personality and you have some learning to do in this life connected with how your energy operates. Knowing when to stop or start a project is not so much a matter of timing as it is a matter of how to invest your energy.  You can avoid something you want, thinking it will require too much from you, or, start on some project, then go overboard trying to bring it to fruition.  Once involved in a project it is necessary to see how to regulate your energy as you do become so obsessed with the outcome or so addicted to the process that you lose sight of your general well being.

Mars Quincunx Pluto

You suffer by having a picture of just what needs to be done and how it is to be accomplished.  This can cause you to be controlling and argumentative.  When you feel the weight of the responsibilities that you have taken on or when you feel lonely and isolated, then, you are ripe for personal growth.  Your desire, manner of expression, and the way you use energy will have to be changed - to be less compulsive, less forceful, so you are able to achieve greater accomplishment and more personal happiness.

Saturn in Growth aspect to Uranus

Feelings of limitation can stop you from expressing the newer insights that occur to you every so often.  The struggle that you go through in life will often center around your fears of being left out of activities that you see others participating in.  You will have to reevaluate your feelings of responsibility every so often to overcome the feeling of self denial that you put yourself through.  Growth often comes by getting down to the roots of your personal insecurity and self limiting behavior.

Saturn Quincunx Uranus

Outward achievement may take the place of inner development until you learn to monitor your needs, obligations, and desires. Setting reasonable limits on how much of your energy goes into any part of your life takes a good deal of effort and navigation, but, this is necessary to be as successful as you would like to be.

     E.  THE DECLINATIONS

There is another dimension to your astrology chart.  This has to do with planets being the same distance from the celestial equator.  When both planets are on the same side of this plane there are called parallel.  When the planets are the same distance but on opposite sides of the celestial equator they are referred to as being contra-parallel. Both of these aspect activate your ability to organize and reorganize some aspect of your life.

Saturn Parallel Ascendant

A gloomy outlook can color your approach to any project.  It takes a good deal of work on yourself to let your natural conservative tendencies find a wholesome expression.  When you are very disciplined and comfortable with a cautious and easy going way about your life, you are rewarded many times over. Your timing can be off with any project if fear stops you from moving forward or anxiety or excitement get you moving quicker than the project can sustain. Even tempered momentum coupled with an "easy does it" attitude, is the way to win in most situations.

Venus Contra-Parallel Neptune

A higher vision of truth and beauty lives within you, giving interest in the arts and a taste for refined things.  The problem with your lofty ideals and love interests is that they can often lack grounding and it takes much work to bring your insights and perceptions to manifestation.

Saturn Contra-Parallel Pluto

The drive to accomplish much in a short span of time and a general distrust of life comes from feeling that the world is a difficult and very limiting place.  At root, much of this feeling is based on a negative perception about yourself and what you have coming.  You are the sponsor of your own setbacks in life. Progress means to study the past world history and personal psychology in order to move forward in a responsible and effective manner.  Discipline and faith are the necessary ingredients needed to put your life on a positive footing.

Pluto Contra-Parallel Ascendant

You have the capacity for tremendous determination.  At the depth of your drive to do things your own way may indeed be the fear of other people.  Relationships are a real chance to refine your method of assertion and character.  Getting balanced with others may be quite difficult for you but is the path to personal happiness.  Fear of abandonment may be one of the driving forces in your way of relating to people.

     F.  YOUR KARMIC DIRECTION

The Moon's North Node is an all encompassing and instructive point of synthesis in the chart; we could easily start or end our analysis with this one single factor.  Because this indicator is so all inclusive it most shows your karmic direction in life. The sign placement of your North node points to your destiny. When your actions, interests, and values are structured by this position, your general sense of personal well being improves. The house placement of the North Node of the Moon indicates or points to an area of life, an arena of experience.  By confronting, even augmenting this arena you can inadvertently improve every aspect of your life.  By dealing with issues connected to the North Node placement in your chart your general character strengthens and refines.

North Node of the Moon in Virgo

Be as specific as you can be and avoid retreat into escapist fantasies. The more detailed you are in life the faster you learn.  The more factual and analytic you are the quicker life moves forward.  Real progress is incremental, where you recognize, catalogue, and can replicate, every step of the journey.  The more you adopt a procedural and non-emotional approach to your projects the further and faster you move toward achieving your goals.  Be practical and patient.

North Node of the Moon in Virgo and in the Seventh House

Much of your time can be taken up with concern as to how you appear to others.  Just concentrating on the practical needs of others and forgetting yourself automatically breaks you out of your self-imposed fantasy world.  This is a lifetime of connecting with people in practical ways.
