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 Below the Horizon

You have the majority of your planets below the horizon showing that you need time each day in isolation in order to recharge your batteries.  You have a personal approach to life, preferring to work with people more than things and needing contact with the familiar in order to feel secure.

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.

Most Planets in the First Quadrant

You have the majority of your planets in the first quadrant showing you will seek a lot of life experience to enhance you and develop your sense of selfhood.  Your own personality and its uniquenesses and intricacies are the major focus of life experience for you.

     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

You have 20% of your chart in the fire element showing that you have an awareness of how much energy you lack that others seem to have.  Still, you have plenty of enthusiasm and stamina prevalent.  You go toward each project with a certain amount of pre-selectivity.  You are always prompted to do more, primarily because you don't trust that you are doing enough.  In the long run, this single characteristic guaranties you accomplish much in life.

Earth

You have 20% of your chart in the earth element.  You have a natural knack for dealing with money, material resources, and projects where the end result is important.  You may worry about your results and be very concerned that you aren't doing as well as you should materially. Still, in the long run, you are quite accomplished in knowing how to get the most out of existing conditions.

Air

You have just 20% of your chart in the air element.  You have a magic blend in the air element.  You have an ever-active intellect.  Your eye is always looking, your mind is always attempting to grasp more and more information.  You don't feel confident in what you know.  This lack of confidence prompts you to keep on task with the learning process.  You never relax on the subject of gathering new information. In the long run, you become quite scholarly in life, out-performing most others in the mental realm.

Water

You have an abundance of water in your chart.  You are very emotional and quite empathetic.  You feel others' pain so deeply, you can be moved off the path from your own goals unless you develop a strong sense of self-definition so as to separate out your own needs from those of others.  You need something to do in life that gives full ventilation to your feelings.  Your sentimental and emotionally potent approach to life polarizes people who will either appreciate you for this trait or be repulsed because of it.  You tend to separate people, in your mind, into those that belong and those that don't.  You find any habit, good or bad, very difficult to change.

          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 an abundance of cardinal planets in your chart.  You are very active.  You are able to choose a direction and go your own way in life.  You are stronger than most of the people you know and this gives you a natural desire for leadership.  Be aware, you act impulsively and this can be either a strength or a weakness.  Try to control your assertions so that you stay in harmony with your environment and you won't suffer from self-inflicted accidents or difficulties.

Fixed

You have 30% of your planets in the fixed mode.  You know how to persist on a course of action that you have selected.  On the other hand, you have good sense generally as to when to desist. You are well poised between your ability to change and your inclination to let your habits carry you forward.

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.

                             SCORPIO RISING

Let's face it, you're intense. You have boundless energy and employ it freely on any task at hand.  You need to be discriminating so that your efforts come to something.  You have difficulty changing course once you set sail, so make sure you are heading in the right direction before you set sail.  Others never really know you and a certain "loner" quality is within you.  This doesn't have to be lonely.  You are always fighting battles within your own soul that keep you preoccupied with your inner qualities.  You are secretive by inclination.  You hold your thoughts as precious and useful to you alone.  When you do wish to take someone into your inner life, words fail to describe your true inner feelings.  Strange as it may seem, you place a high value on relationships.  You go out of your way to bring them about and to maintain them.  Still, at your heart space, your marriage partner looking into your eyes has the distinct feeling of looking into "one way  mirrors".  Your emotional inner sanctuary is so private, it is only rarely that you let even yourself in.

Sun Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 12th house and unafflicted.

You seem very self confident in an unassuming way.  Your personal touch shows in all that you do.  You put your whole self into every action. There is a dramatic quality to your self expression that gives your life some special luck.  You are able to manifest more of your true intentions than others.  People notice you and respond to your warm and genuine presentation.  You are generally well liked by the people who get close to you.

Mercury Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 1st House and unafflicted.

You have a way with words.  You spin out new ideas and share them with others.  You talk to anyone and everyone.  Much of your conversation will revolve around yourself and your projects until you learn the  art of listening to others.  When this is grasped you become an avid learner from all of life.  You have lots of nervous energy that needs some positive outlet.  Exercise your body as well as your mind.  Your environment is quite important to your learning process.

Saturn Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 1st House and unafflicted.

Life is serious for you.  You were born feeling responsible.  Be carefully self-defining and your life improves. If you take on the whole world's suffering you get beaten down and will have all kinds of complaints: physical, emotional and mental.  You are practical, cautious, and conservative by inclination.  Slow, steady progress can be yours if you use these qualities to earn your way.  Be responsible, not fearful.  Worry is your enemy and consideration and humility your friends.

Uranus  Sesquiquadrate the Ascendant

You express an unusually adept ability to respond to changes  in your life and your environment in a unique and abrupt fashion. Unfortunately, you leave many less hearty and less adventuresome souls behind you.  Many people will like you without being close to you or, for that matter, really understanding you.  You are hard for people to keep up with because you switch directions and a course of action with no forewarning.  Personal freedom is so important to you that you let nothing get in the way of your exercising it.  When you feel comfortable enough that your own freedom is a forgone conclusion, the humanitarian and peace loving side of your personality emerge.  You do much to elevate other people and help them reach their potential.

          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.

                              LEO MIDHEAVEN

You assume that career will look natural on you.   Whatever your social station is, you have high expectations for yourself.  You have a period of wandering in career, but when you really get involved with something, you can be deeply committed.  Your endurance alone tends to bring you positive results.  Your loyalty to people, ideas, and social structures are usually rewarded in some way.

Moon Quincunx the Midheaven

The ideals that you develop about yourself and the world will need constant reevaluation as you strive to put them into action. Your sensitivity to others can stop you from being able to act on your best insights until you make an uncompromising commitment to your true mission and purpose for being on the earth.

Mercury Square Midheaven

You are known for your communication skills.  The way that you express yourself is corrected by some authority in your life. You need to fight a tendency to change the externals as a mechanism for  relieving an uncomfortable situation.  Instead of running away, learn to change yourself.  You have something to say, learn how to express it.  You need to overcome a tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Venus Trine Midheaven

Your timing and sense of social grace really facilitate  your getting along with others.  You like working with people and have a gentle side of your personality that emerges in career.  You will long for some artistic expression.

Mars Sextile Midheaven

You like to be in control of any job or project that you work on. You can be a good leader because you inspire others.  You know how to put plans into motion very swiftly and are good at spotting opportunity. You have a knack for being at the right place at the right time.

Jupiter Quincunx the Midheaven

Every so often you take a great leap forward in life.  If you have the good grace and luck to recognize the help you have received from others, you don't have to suffer the pitfalls of going forward then falling back.  Recognize the magic of feeling grateful and your life become a blessing, moving from one victory to another.

Saturn Square Midheaven

You can hold yourself back in life because you unconsciously fear being in a position with too much responsibility.  For all of this, you end up as a leader, having to make decisions and execute them.  Others rely on you because you are responsible.

Pluto Semi-Sextile the Midheaven

You are powerful, but your desire to express your authority is not always evenly matched to the circumstances of your real life. You may compensate in a long extended fantasy life.  This can be enriching but, it is necessary for you to take real steps in the external world that lead toward a position of genuine authority and responsibility.  Long periods of dormancy give way to rapid change, then back to a period of relative stagnation.  Slow germination of ideas and energy can take place in your inner life (at an unconscious level) that abruptly erupts forward into life, carrying you forward toward your goal.

     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.

Moon Conjunct Jupiter

Think of Sections III. THE MOON - Your personal life, and VII. JUPITER - Your values, 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 Saturn

Think of Sections IV. MERCURY - Your mental life, and VIII. SATURN -Your obligations, 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 LIBRA

You are a good negotiator and a natural diplomat, always seeking harmony and always seeing other people's point of view.  You have a love of beauty, are inspired by ideals, and have an especially strong sense of justice. You want your surroundings to reflect your vision of the world which is oriented to beauty, harmony and balance.  You are so friendly and so diplomatic that you may seem to lack resolve to others. You see infinite shades of meaning to each issue and it appears as if you are inconsistent.  Your life improves when you don't procrastinate and when you aren't afraid to tell people your point of view even when you know they don't want to hear it.  Be more decisive.

Sun in 12th house

You are an idealist.  You are open to the crosscurrents of society. You need time alone to sort out your own material and to avoid overload.  Because you perceive too many options you may have difficulties in getting started on a project, but the "long haul" generally works for you because you often surprise others with your endurance when you are emotionally committed to a course of action.

Sun in 12th house Unafflicted

You are often moved to do things which improve the quality of life in our society.  You may enjoy working in some large institution or in a capacity of service.  There is a natural rhythm in life of moving in and out of contact with the outer world.  Your inner life is rich and will periodically absorb all of your attention.

SUN SEMI-SQUARE VENUS

You have a pleasant appearance and know how to get along with others. You may find yourself locked into a situation where you can see more than you can materialize.  The difficulty here is that your goals move forward when you do, so they always stay out in front of you and you never seem to get where you are going.  A self-dissatisfaction can always be hanging in the air.  Thinking more of others and less of yourself is one of the few things that breaks through the hard crust of ignorance.  Concentrating on the concerns of others punctures the myth of isolation which is the real cause of your false sense of self-dissatisfaction.  You are prone to petty vanities and extravagant spending when you are feeling defeated.  You can avoid this pitfall by learning genuine self acceptance.  Once learned, you become a real joy to be around.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You see how the world in general and your life in particular could be better through vision of a higher truth.  You have creative ability. This skill is frequently used in blending together people and situations to find imaginative solutions to difficulties.  You believe in people and in life deeply and will suffer at times because less idealistic souls will take advantage of your good will.  Nonetheless, you are a force for good. Because you anticipate and expect exemplary behavior from others, it is easier for people to be their better selves around you.

SUN SEXTILE YOUR NEPTUNE

You are imaginative, creative, and sensitive to the world and to other people.  You feel the world can be a better place and your vision can be sustained by your actions because you are good at blending your mental and emotional nature.  You have an idealistic and artistic picture of yourself and this world.  This gives your personality a quiet charm.

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 CAPRICORN

You are ambitious and cautious, a practical builder.  You know how to hold to a position once you have taken it.  Others find you a good leader and good at applying preexisting principles. What you lack in imagination you make up for in diligence and reliability.  Others don't always trust you though because you are underhandedly competitive. This comes from your dualistic model of the universe where if one person is winning someone else must lose.  The fuel for this outlook comes from a broodish emotional nature and limited outlook on what you feel you have coming.  Try to be less self-demanding and more sympathetic to yourself and others in your life.

Moon in 3rd house

You have deep emotional connections to your early childhood. Your memory is keen, your mind is versatile and you feel comfortable in an environment where learning is valued.

Moon in 3rd house Unafflicted

Your friends and acquaintances think of you as a good communicator. You can be very good at arbitration because you naturally empathize with several points of view.  Part of you always stays childlike and attached to the pleasant memories from your early childhood.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  MERCURY

You are intelligent with a good grasp of meanings and a good memory. You adjust easily to changing circumstances, draw quick generalizations and can communicate your findings to the public. You learn new things easily.  You are able to expand and build on what you learn because you have a good imagination.

MOON SEXTILE YOUR MERCURY

You have good creative self-expression.  You like getting your ideas across to others.  You have a way with words and positive and useful insights.  Health and hygiene are important to you. You are well organized and have good business sense as well as the ability to make time for your domestic life.  You are tactful, knowing what to say, when to say it, and to whom. Having good writing skills, you are able to articulate your own feelings, as well as those of others'.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

Outbursts of anger and emotional extravagance get you into trouble. You are always finding your limits by exceeding them. Better to learn to think before acting.  Planned intervals of strenuous physical activity can take the edge off of contentious emotions and help you obtain some deeper balance.  Don't eat when upset and your health will be better.  Link your energy to some humanitarian, idealistic project and your perspective widens and your life improves.

MOON SQUARE YOUR MARS

You can be a consummate initiator of any project.  However, the "follow through" is always problematic as your emotions are so volatile.  You are nervous a good bit of the time and emotional control eludes you as you suffer periodic explosions of feeling. Be sure your anger is correctly directed or you will destroy things that you have previously built and end up frustrated without having increased your understanding of the situation one iota.  You have power but it has to be correctly harnessed in order for you to feel productive and emotionally satisfied.

MOON CONJUNCT JUPITER

You are sincere, generous and joyful.  Your life tends to go from good to better mostly because you are optimistic and expect it. For the most part you are healthy and robust.  Sometimes extravagance and overindulgence can cause you difficulties.  Too much of the good life ends up limiting your freedom.  Once you learn moderation and contentment you experience deep and continuous inner joy.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  SATURN

You are cautious and a careful planner.  You lay a firm foundation in all that you do.  Your instincts and habits are basically conservative. You are satisfied with slow progress. You apply the principles of consistency and patience to your benefit.

MOON SEXTILE YOUR SATURN

Your habits are conservative and your instincts naturally move you toward a pattern of common sense with some emphasis on repetition of the way things have been.  Financially frugal and emotionally reserved is one way of describing you.  Responsible, cautious actions come to you naturally.  You seek and general get people's approval.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You easily get so emotionally "locked up" that it becomes difficult to alter or arrest a pattern once it has begun.  You can suffer a lot by cutting yourself off from others.  You may end a relationship that you desperately want if you feel the other person may reject you or abandon you sometime in the future.  You demand a loyalty from others that isn't only unrealistic, but is also something you are incapable of or unwilling to give to others yourself.  Further, you are capable of forming compulsive attachments where you hang onto a relationship long after the other person has left you emotionally or even physically.  In either of these cases, clearly you have to come to terms with the issue of power and control.  Don't be afraid of not being in control. Achieve self-control, understand your own emotions and your life becomes much easier.  You might explore your relationship with your mother as it had a much deeper effect on you than for most people.  You have ability to work with large figures and with money and finance. You are able to conceptualize many different items of experience simultaneously.  If your emotions don't get in your way, you become a leader in some realm.

MOON OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

Emotional standoffs block your growth.  Rational compromise stops addictive and self-defeating behavior.  It takes tremendous self insight to see that the things that bother you most about others are qualities of your own being.  Real change in your emotional nature is not only possible but inevitable.  Don't ever lose hope or indulge in thoughts of failure or guilt.  Real release of old emotional habits brings instant transformation.

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 SCORPIO

Your mind is penetrating and critical.  Avoid being too secretive and you will learn more.  Your manner of expression is diplomatic but doesn't truly reflect the peevish probing that is always going on.  You are a shrewd negotiator who expresses even controversial ideas in a rather positive manner.  Your ideas are predetermined but you are smart enough to know that people don't usually respond favorably to you if they suspect this.  You are in your own depths and keep your own counsel.  Your life is smoother when you learn to relax, enjoy life, and adjust to changes going on around you.

Mercury in 1st house

You use your reasoning skills to get by in life.  Your eyes and your attention flit from thing to thing in your environment.  You are adaptable and good at imitating anything that you have observed.  You can be quite eloquent.  You are interested in everything.

Mercury in 1st house Unafflicted

You are good at knowing how to explain yourself and your actions to others.  You know when to stop explaining and when to change direction in your approach to a problem.  In this sense you are very clever.

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 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 SEXTILE YOUR JUPITER

You are motivated to share your vision of life with others.  You wish your thoughts to affect other people's conceptions and actions.  They do! People respond to your optimistic outlook. You have a knack for expressing ideas to people in a way that is diplomatic, while pulling on their ability to respond positively to your optimism.  You are an inspirational communicator; for you are a true believer with a strong desire to portray it.  You love knowledge and have a wealth of it to share, which you do with great conviction.  You write and speak with vast expanse and deep certitude.  The truth as you see it is very important to you. Travel and study expand your horizons and you like anything that accomplishes this.

MERCURY CONJUNCT SATURN

You have an exacting and fussy mind.  You can nail down one fact after another as you work your way through a project. You are slow, thorough, cautious and practical.  Avoid getting into a negative mood because you can be a great worrier and very pessimistic once you get going in that direction.  You may lack self confidence but you are very good with numbers and anything that requires careful perceptions.

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 SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR URANUS

Every so often outside factors intervene and change your mental perception and events in your environment in bizarre and uncompromising ways.  If you learn how your own rhythms work, you make very positive contributions to other people's development. Possessing great insights but lacking stability, you are often way ahead of yourself. Consistency brings progress.

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 SAGITTARIUS

You love freedom.  You are proud and impulsive with a love of adventure.  You are a very sincere lover but apt to not be taken as seriously by others.  You are not superficial and are very sensitive to what others say about you.  You believe in the ideal in matters of love but your life really doesn't become stable until you get a balance between the physical and the philosophical side of life.

Venus in 2nd house

You are attracted to money and have a love of material things. You have a wholesome self-esteem and, consequently, people will flock to help you at critical moments.  Others help you push your projects over the top.

Venus in 2nd house Unafflicted

Your income improves through marriage.  You have a skill for creating abundance through a positive use of your resources and by knowing how to correctly utilize other people's skills.  You accumulate material security by being relaxed and accepting it as it comes and through your skill at striking a meaningful compromise.

VENUS IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have an aspect of Venus to the Sun showing that you identify at a very fundamental level with your ability to express the loving, genteel side of your nature.  This aspect of your nature was commented on in some detail in Section II.  The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

You are a good partner and a good relater.  You have a positive interest in marrying and will probably settle down in a permanent relationship early in life.  You have an eye for value and will do things with people that increase your net worth.  You are practical and make decisions that are profitable.

VENUS SEXTILE YOUR MARS

Your love nature is very energetic.  You like people and learn much through relationships.  You are very interested in having a romantic life and will go at it with some enthusiasm.

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 LIBRA

Your energy is refined and you genuinely desire harmony.  You are easily impressed by others and you take great care to guard against being pushed into a situation requiring definitive choice.  You can be a master of compromise.  You get what you want in life through your ability to compromise; however, you are easily influenced and over-conciliatory.  You have bursts of anger at times to prove you are your own person.  This is, however, reactive.  Your life is better and more even when you establish real independence that comes from a feeling of spontaneous well-being.

Mars in 12th house

You desire an ideal.  You are impulsive but have good psychic sense for being able to turn any situation to your advantage. Because your natural drive is toward the unmanifest, it is easy for you to "tune out" of your immediate surroundings and live inside your feelings, projections, and expectations.

Mars in 12th house Unafflicted

A steady stream of energy sustains you.  You have inwardly bonded with something larger than your own life; this long-range habit pattern gives a touch of the ideal to everything you do.

MARS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

Mars in aspect to the Moon shows that you have a lot of energy wrapped up in your instinctive consciousness.  This insight is detailed out in Section III.  The Moon - Your Personal Life.

MARS IN ASPECT VENUS

You have Mars in aspect to Venus.  This aspect shows sex appeal and interest in romance.  This aspect is covered more fully in Section V. Venus - Your Love Nature.

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 PLUTO

You have lots of energy that erupts into violence every so often leaving you confused and exhausted.  In industry, you have a taste for secrecy and covert operations.  As a warrior you are more at home leading a guerrilla band in the jungle than as a general leading the parade down Fifth Avenue.  You are at war with yourself.  Your conscience is at odds with your desires and only long-range study and integration of your personal values can lay the foundation for smooth, comfortable, and regular energy. Until this happens, you suffer from having abundant energy that bursts forth violently, then little energy for a spell.  The violence, anger, and disagreements with others stop as well as abnormal needs for secrecy (which just becomes more normal needs for periodic privacy) when you arrive at some degree of self-understanding.

MARS SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

You have great capacity to be violent, angry, pernicious, and willful. Your energy is greatly amplified and spills over into everything that you do.  Your desire nature tends to run on its own if not directed by your reasoning.  Discipline, reason, and correct judgment are difficult ingredients for you to use on this aspect of your nature, but, it is the path out of a deeply ingrained habit of reacting to circumstance.  Work to change the focus of your energy any time your motive for acting is defensive.

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 3rd house

Have confidence in your ability to learn and gather information. You showed great promise early in life.  You are accurate and confident in the way you organize big projects.  Sometimes you have difficulty being in the here and now because so much of your energy is invested in the future.

Jupiter in 3rd house Unafflicted

You get along with others because you have the ability to inspire them with your words.  You give people faith in life by formulating your ideas and explanations from an optimistic perspective.  You get along best when you have a great amount of motion in your daily life.

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 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 SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You have an underlying self-confidence that is based on your belief that life will give you whatever you want if you are willing to work for it.  You see the reasonableness in the way that things happen and are willing to invest in yourself.  You are very industrious, believing that hard work will bring you progress.  You have a taste for material acquisition but are willing to work for what comes to you.

JUPITER SEXTILE YOUR SATURN

Good, practical judgment balances your natural tendency to see opportunity.  Because you are results oriented, you are less likely than most to fritter away your energy on projects that lack long term significance.  Your choice?  Life long aims over immediate gratification.  Progress on long range projects is slow, partly because you demand tangible results and partly because you have the good sense to establish firm foundations. This strategy of yours almost always guaranties some results. Life is easiest when you keep your long term goals constantly in mind.

JUPITER IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

This life certainly has its ups and downs for you.  Your tendency to exaggerate, overindulge or over-commit yourself gets you in trouble until you adopt the philosophy of life that "you get out of life what you contribute." At this point you stop trying to get something for nothing and your financial picture becomes much more stable.  You get in your own way at times by over-assertion or saying the wrong thing. You can have a bluntness and a vulgarity that creates a negative picture that you may have a hard time overcoming.  Gain control of your own life and the path to higher success is not only swift but fun.

JUPITER OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

Guilt keeps you trapped in the past and over-optimism keeps you from honest self-appraisal.  Willingness to let go of the past and the development of personal honesty are both important in order to keep your values and your actions operating together. You accomplish many things in the course of your life but suffer some emotionally because you have to compromise your vision.

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 SCORPIO

You are afraid of not having emotional security.  At the same time, you don't want to depend on anyone else for emotional fulfillment. What a dilemma.  You have tremendous amounts of emotional containment. This can lead to a certain narrowness of outlook.  You can be disciplined and exacting.  You really need to develop your higher values and virtues in order to handle your emotions in a positive way. Try to be more direct with your feelings.  Trust others more, but only be with them if you like them and get rid of your own ulterior motives.

Saturn in 1st house

The world is a serious place for you.  You take on responsibility as a natural way of getting by.  Your friends see you as someone who is willing to cope with any situation.

Saturn in 1st house Unafflicted

Hard work bring results.  Your life is good because you learned to be self-reliant at an early age.  You get what you work for in life.  You learn what works and create abundance by replicating it.

SATURN IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have Saturn in aspect to the Moon showing a close relationship between your upbringing and your emotional outlook. This connection is explored in its essence in Section III.  The Moon - Your Personal Life.

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 IN ASPECT TO JUPITER

You have Saturn in aspect to Jupiter showing that you have an interest in procedures and legal structures.  This interest is discussed in Section VII.  Jupiter - Your Values.

SATURN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You have a balance respect for the new innovative insights (that are always occurring to you), for what empirically works, and the traditional approaches to which we still have attachments.  This can give you an air of diplomacy and stoicism.  You know how to get things done and have some patience with circumstances in the world.

SATURN TRINE YOUR URANUS

Good organizational skills and diplomacy leads you toward continuous progress.  Because you have inherent respect for tradition, you build your future on firm foundations.  You experience more freedom as you get older.

SATURN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You are a good manager and a solid planner.  Your instincts are conservative and you know how to make the most out of your natural temperament.  You are disciplined and see ways to make the most of your situation and position in life.  Other people are a great help to you only when you are putting your best foot forward.  A position of authority and responsibility comes to you eventually in life.

SATURN TRINE YOUR PLUTO

You are the great economist, making the most of every situation. Circumstances that will be luckiest for you will develop slowly over a long period of time.  You are self-reliant, resourceful and cautious. As a planner you are hard to beat.  Deep changes occur in the core of your personality by being in touch with and fulfilling your obligations.

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 PISCES

You look for inner peace.  Your quest is for spiritual and social self-sufficiency.  Your will is moved by devotional and religious ideals.

Uranus in 5th house

You have an unusual manner of self-expression.  Your creative efforts are original.  This can cross over into seeing unique openings in speculation that may bring you success through rapid gain.  Your children may be highly unusual and perhaps very gifted.

Uranus in 5th house Unafflicted

Wild gain can come your way through following your unique, creative impulses.  Gain is change which requires sacrifice. Luckily, you are prepared to make the changes necessary and you do so swiftly and unconsciously.

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 SATURN

You have Uranus in aspect with your Saturn.  This indicates that you are attempting to accommodate the urge for security and the urge for freedom.  More detail on this blending is in Section VIII.  Saturn -Your Obligations.

URANUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

Your unusual sense of timing and peculiar ideas get a fair hearing even though you are way out of focus from the conscious direction of the world.  You are blessed with some mechanical skills as well as possessing some deeper insight into people's motivation.  In relationships you are always touching sensitive places in others' consciousness, forcing them to grow.

URANUS TRINE YOUR PLUTO

You are led by forces outside of your conscious control toward a level of experience that guarantees transformation.  Bold personal changes in yourself and in your values lead to a higher personal freedom.

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 LEO

You see societal change coming through people being inspired. You may have an inflated ego or a desire for power but your ideal is to be something important for others.

Neptune in 10th house

There is an artistic and illusionary quality to the way that you approach life.  You may have to work harder than most people to prove your responsibleness to your bosses.  You aim for significant ideals but don't always have the stamina to get to them.

Neptune in 10th house Unafflicted

You bring an aura of graciousness and social responsibility to any task that you take on.  You are a visionary leader and others follow your lead because they feel that you are watching out for their best interests.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have an aspect of Neptune to the Sun showing that you have a gentleness and lofty vision of life.  How this works out is shown by Section II.  The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

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 CANCER

At your best, you are instinctively drawn to some deep new social awareness; this can give you a foundation for genuine transformation and creativity.  You are tenacious.  At your worst, you trade freedom and self-worth for security.  You may have a gnawing fear of some physical deprivation which can haunt you and block real change. Understanding your past can root out barriers and allow you to move into deep transformation.

Pluto in 9th house

You have a great desire to expand your horizons and your general knowledge.  This can lead you to travel, study religion, philosophy and ethics, and do some deep soul-searching.  There is an adventuresome quality to your nature that is almost never at rest.

Pluto in 9th house Unafflicted

When you talk, others listen.  You often only reveal your inner thoughts when you are in close, private company.  Then, you "draw a bead" on the most important issue and express yourself in terse but captivating phrases.  You have qualities that can inspire in any teaching situation.

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.

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO JUPITER

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO SATURN

You have an aspect of Pluto to Saturn.  This shows that you are very impressed with things in the past.  The working out of this impression is taken up in Section VIII.  Saturn - Your Obligations.

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO URANUS

You have an aspect of Pluto to Uranus indicating you have a powerful urge to change in a fundamental way.  This change in described in Section IX.  Uranus - Your Search for Freedom.

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 SEXTILE.

You are comprehensive in your outlook.  Your inclination is to seek help and to change directions when you run into problems. Not that you lack fortitude, it is just that you are able to see an easier way to bring about changes than fighting.  You have the ability to create opportunity by altering the focus of a situation to become favorable to you and your projects.  You are the master of blending ingredients together and coming up with new opportunities.  Your keyword is Synthesis.

     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.

Well-Aspected Saturn.

You know your limits.  This single quality can stop you from getting into any deep troubles as you instinctively pull back to preserve your gains before you become too vulnerable.  The conservative side of your personality is an asset.

Well-Aspected Neptune.

Your insights and ideals give you the ability to rise above the circumstances in your life that seem limiting.  Your comprehensive and ever-expanding outlook can be a source of inspiration for others.

Venus in the Second House.

You have natural instincts for material values.  You are good at locating physical, pleasant solutions that can have a positive long-term effect in your life.

     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.

Sun in Libra

Your love of other people and a romantic urge carries you away from the here and now.  Your energy and stamina can ebb and flow to such a degree that others don't know whether or not to rely on you.  Practice consistency.

Moon in Capricorn

You are competitive and self-contained in your daily activities. This need to prove yourself is rooted in feelings of inferiority. Practice being more peaceful; accepting yourself sets a smoother course for relationships.

Mars in Libra

Your diplomacy and your self-assertion easily work at cross purposes. You do best to get your attention focused clearly on what you think is really good for others.  You are often led too far from your own path and suffer from wasting energy trying to please others.  Be more self-affirming.

Jupiter in the Third House

Your thirst for knowledge and experience can get you in trouble because you lack concentration.  Because of this, you move from item to item, always feeling the next thing will do it.  You lack closure.  Becoming complete means being less impatient with the here and now and feeling satisfied with what you already know.

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.

Saturn in the First House

You have to overcome the feeling of being responsible for everything that happens to you or happens in your life.  This tendency zaps your energy and makes you less effective in clearing up your real responsibilities.

Uranus in the Fifth House

Although you express an urge for freedom in a unique and creative way, your identification with the creative energy often traps you into forms of self-display that are limiting.  Freedom comes through a humanitarian concern for all of life.

Neptune in the Tenth House

You ride a wave of culture toward your social position in life. You don't impress others as being particularly competent so you have to work harder than most at limiting the scope of your vision.  Make sure that you don't ignore critical details of your quest in life and you can avoid being disconnected and irrelevant.  Avoid doing things that give others the perception that you are momentary and just "going with the flow" of circumstances.  Instead, commit in specific ways to big projects so you stay meaningfully connected to others.

     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 Venus

The receptive and gentle side of your personality is always looking for an appropriate expression.  You learn by trial and error how to relate your sensitivity to others without invoking disappointment or rejection from them.  Learning how to receive what others give you freely requires work on your behalf.

Moon Semi-Sextile Venus

There is a sweetness to your personality that is not easily perceived by others.  Learn to express your true feelings and be open to other people's expressions as well.  Narrow, vain or self-indulgent feelings prohibit you from developing relationships that are truly expansive and stretching for your personality.  It takes practice but ultimately these relationships are the ones that help you understand yourself better.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Jupiter

More is not necessarily better.  Personal development requires consistent reevaluation of values.  As you decide what is worth having in life you feel happy.  When you aren't achieving your goals it is because you are aiming at something that will disappoint you.  This indicates a time to reevaluate what you are ultimately finding as important.

Venus Semi-Sextile Jupiter

You could be much more successful and satisfied with your life than you usually are.  In order to achieve this you must act. You suffer from believing, correctly, that you have the good things in life coming to you.  But, when you just wait, they never seem to arrive.  You desire some positive things and you can easily have them.  But, you can't be the passive recipient, expecting them to arrive.  You must acknowledge that you want them; then, pursue your hearts desire.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Saturn

You limit your own arena of emotional expression.  Getting over your fears and learning how to correctly value your self and others is the path to positive, responsible expression of your feelings.  The path of self knowledge requires some fine tuning of your way of exploring relationships.  Overcoming fear of others and your inherent shyness only happens with practice.  The rewards are that you learn about yourself while getting closer to others.

Venus Semi-Sextile Saturn

Learning to "reach out" more meaningfully to others requires you to realize how you, in fact, hold yourself back through your self criticism and negative expectation as to what others want from you.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Pluto

The compulsive and demanding side of your love nature emerges every so often, but is difficult to see as it is.  There is a secretive and concealing side of your personality that stays aloof.  When you are caught in painful situations where you need commitment to achieve happiness and you are resisting the next step, then, this is the time to look at, acknowledge, then transform the darker side of your love nature.

Venus Quincunx Pluto

Fear of disappointment and fear of others is the mechanism for keeping your love nature on a roller coaster.  Growth requires you to be honest as to what is causing your fears.  They are rooted in your lack of good boundaries and lack of positive self esteem.  You are easily pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people's lives because you feel it is your lot in life. Further, your unconscious compulsiveness first ritualizes then continuously repeats self defeating and denying reactions to others.  Careful examination of your routines and feelings about yourself are necessary to free your love to develop and grow. This creates a deep, inner healing.

Mars in Growth Aspect to Saturn

Nagging personal insecurities can lead you into bad, even self-defeating stances with others.  Your troubles come to you through a twofold process.  First, misperceiving limitation, then, reacting to those imaginary limits.  Your underlying frustrations lighten up when you recognize that you need a more correct measurement of what you are capable of achieving.  This requires letting other people give you a judgment of your talents and skills.  Patience and endurance eventually give you better use of your energy.

Mars Semi-Sextile Saturn

Small steps are necessary to progress on the projects you perceive as the most important in life.  This is because as you push toward a project your fears surface.  Recognize that you tend to shift the focus from your fears to your misperceived source of your fears, i.e., the environment and other people. Accepting responsibility for your self-created fears is the beginning of personal growth.

Uranus in Growth aspect to Neptune

You go through some tough adjustments to get your mental and emotional lives to agree with each other.  Your aim in life and your most natural inclinations will often reveal subtle differences in the way that you approach the mental and emotional components of your everyday experience.  As you develop along regular ordinary lines in life this conflict will only be seen as mild frustration.  When circumstances bring you abrupt change or when you decide to alter some fundamental property of your nature, you will find this conflict surfacing in a manner in which you can get some resolution.

Uranus Quincunx Neptune

You feel strongly that you need to do something for the less fortunate in life.  This is a wonderful sentiment, but it can either lead you to "stewing" in your empathy for humanity (making you less effective than you would be otherwise) or, becoming completely cut off from your deeper feelings.  In either case you will need to find some mode for expressing your desire to see a better world, without leading yourself into an intellectual or emotional blind alley.  Balance and consistent exertion for your mind and heart on problems both personal and universal is the path to growth.

     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.

Pluto Parallel North Node of the Moon

You grow into your best self by diving into your own depths and struggling with life's fundamental issues.  Your ability to find your way through difficulties swiftly may follow on the heels of long periods of relative stagnation.  This can give a jerky, uneven feeling to your development.

Moon Contra-Parallel Pluto

You have an immediate tap into the unconscious mind through your instinctive nature.  The intensity of your feelings can be so much for you that you cut them off completely and thus may seem quite blocked emotionally until you come to terms with them. This may take much work but the rewards are that you will have an instinctive grasp of much of the hidden side of life.

Saturn Contra-Parallel Neptune

There is a dreamy aspect to your nature that can noticeably impede your focus.  Learning to use this aspect of your personality in a positive way will mean learning good sequencing. Establish your priorities. Then, the rest of your life unfolds systematically.  Just remember, you can't do everything at once.

Neptune Contra-Parallel Ascendant

You can be quite delusional in your thinking about other people and the role that others play in your life.  If you are expressing an artistic and creative side of your personality then this tendency can come to a bright and happy manifestation. Just a glimpse into the higher realms of consciousness or into other people's thinking process can be unbalancing if you use this as your inner source of information.  Practice going slow with new people in your life.

     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.

Self-expression advances you in life, but your ability to be creative at any level is based on your foundation of self-respect.  You learn to love others more deeply and more personally when you are able to embrace and accept yourself, as you are right now.  You see yourself and others in ideal terms and relate and have commitment only to the ideal.  You admire others because they remind you of what you might become, what you feel you "should be" now.  Practice a pattern of commitment and you are led quite naturally to struggles that improve your self image.  The dramatic qualities in life give you progress.

North Node of the Moon in Leo and in the Ninth House

Be willing to commit to great passionate leaps of logic.  Your interest in and subsequent quest for theoretical purity can slow you down in the process of finding yourself.  Direct expression of and commitment to a higher ideal brings personal growth regardless of the nature of the ideal.
