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 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 30% of your chart in the fire element.  This fire supplies you with great energy for your own personal projects. Still, you suffer if the projects that you select are too big. You need quick victories to keep from losing heart, and to keep believing in yourself.  The magic ingredient is believing in yourself.  When you forget this, your life produces much frustration; you end up driven by duty more than desire. The trick to working with your fire element is to design the placement of your energy so that you get sufficient positive reinforcement, enabling you to keep reinvesting in your own projects.

Earth

You have 30% of your chart in the earth element.  This shows you know how to be practical.  It is important that you stay balanced in your approach to the material world.  You are prone to obsess on details and practical considerations and then periodically ignore them.  You do much better to develop a mode of operation for being in the world and then to adhere to this way of being, regardless of your particular feelings in the moment.

Air

You have 30% of your chart in the air element.  You vacillate between being very interested in people and ideas and needing time by yourself. Periodic isolation and an involvement with routine, commonplace activities that do not require innovation are relaxing for you.  You need both spontaneous activities as well as predictable patterns in your life.

Water

Saturn is your only water planet.  You have 10% of your chart in water. You have a struggle to develop a meaningful, personal, emotional life. You observe that you don't express as much sympathy and feelings as other people.  Fear can block your emotions.  You see this as an area to be improved on and work hard to get in touch with your feelings.

          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 20% of your planets in the fixed mode.  You don't have as much stick-to-itiveness as most people.  Still, if circumstances require it, you can put forth great amounts of energy in a controlled way, treading water until new opportunities to act present themselves.

Mutable

You have 30% of your chart in the mutable mode.  Adjustment to new circumstances is relatively easy for you.  Part of your nature is very stimulated by change.  You like to think about your experiences so as to accommodate any new information that occurs.  This is not your only way of being but your favorite mode of operation can be reactive. Exposure to new ideas and methods can help you be calmer while still helping you maintain interest in life.

     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.

Moon Sesquiquadrate the Ascendant

You express your feelings in a way that is significantly different from others in your life.  You survive and even thrive in personal relationships when you are able to come up with unique ways of incorporating and accommodating others' emotional needs.  Your sporadic yet powerful contact with the general public gives your life sparkle. Does it really matters if others understand what you are doing, or why you are doing it?  Some times you should proceed even with misunderstandings.  Other times you need to stop and explain yourself. Don't let difficulties in your daily routines stop you from completing real obligations.

Mercury Semi-Sextile the Ascendant

The gestures you use are sometimes inappropriate to your words. Your body language doesn't always agree with your message. Others have difficulty understanding you.  With practice you can achieve a fuller expression of your true thoughts to others.

Jupiter Sextile the Ascendant

A lighthearted, carefree attitude gives you extra support in dealing with others in life.  People tend to bond with you over qualities in themselves that they feel good about.  A memory of winning and having fun colors your perspective on life.

          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.

                             VIRGO MIDHEAVEN

You are careful about taking on new responsibilities.  Once committed, you try to do your best.  You make progress in life by paying attention to details and by focusing on the most important items in your daily experiences and completing them satisfactorily.

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.

Venus Quincunx the Midheaven

The creation of beauty and the expression of your desire for love is so important to you that you easily overshoot the mark several times in your youth trying to obtain the unobtainable.  Through the acceptance of the modality of expressions common to our culture, you grow and learn about yourself.  Your alignment with the society and the ensuing maturation becomes your mechanism for creating something of enduring quality for the culture.  This contribution of yours will have your own personal "hallmark" on it.

Mars Square Midheaven

You are a force to be reckoned with.  Your life suffers some setback by your tendency to do things your own way.  This means that you "learn everything the hard way".  This tendency can make you a leader or an iconoclast, sometimes both.  Fighting with your superiors can become a way of life if you aren't careful. You are independent and driven by personal freedom.

Saturn Sextile Midheaven

You have disciplined and organized planning skills.  People trust you and you have a knack for finding the shortest methods for accomplishing complicated tasks.  You are consistent and reliable and usually do what you say you will do.

Uranus Square Midheaven

Working for someone else is almost unbearable.  You much prefer the freedom to design your own hours and work methods.  You have real difficulty getting along with others in positions of authority. Remember, although you know exactly what you are doing at times, your methods and actions look arbitrary and chaotic to others unless you take the time to explain yourself.  This is always to your advantage as others are important to you.

     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.

Jupiter Conjunct Neptune

Think of Sections VII. JUPITER - Your values, and X. NEPTUNE -Your spiritual aspirations and ideals, as one ingredient, both strengthening and subtly influencing each other.  Through this effect your aims in life are very lofty.  This Conjunction shows a pervasive and encompassing drive in your personality.

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 CAPRICORN

You are responsible and practical to a fault.  Your natural ambition and hard-working attitude brings you success although slowly.  You have a strong sense of duty and consider it a matter of personal integrity to pay all of your debts and complete anything that you commit to.  You are cautious, dependable and just, as a worker or boss.  You know how to conserve and regulate your energy for the long haul.  Your outlook can be too serious, even morbid.  Spend time learning to be more sociable and work at becoming more effective in your self-expression. To do this will not just make your life more well-rounded and enjoyable, but also more productive in very tangible ways.

Sun in 2nd house

You have a powerful picture of yourself and you expect the good things of life.  You have a confidence in yourself which can be infectious. You may have a deeper than normal interest in earning money and having material goods.  The sign that your sun is in and other factors in the chart show whether or not this interest is translated into a skill.

Sun in 2nd house Afflicted

You need to guard against making poor financial decisions.  You may not always listen to good advice.  Be more attentive to others and less concerned with issues of power and control.  An overly possessive attitude can mean that the good in life can't get to you.  Try to be more open without being demanding or presumptuous and you will establish the consistent pattern of personal security that you long for.

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 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 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 SQUARE YOUR JUPITER

You are lavish and extravagant, generous but very overindulgent. Those who know you well give you great latitude with your petty vanities (which are numerous).  In the long, run self-confidence is the maker of success.  Pride is responsible for your failures. You understand yourself when you learn to judge your life by the results rather than by the feelings and intentions.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

Your restrictions are largely self-created.  You find your fears and your ego drives getting in each other's way.  The result can be that you are overly cautious.  Self-control can be so overdone that you become difficult to live with or work with.  A defeatist attitude can grow out of being too conservative.  Strive to be responsible and still see the world in a positive light.  As you become more trusting you overcome your propensity to back ill-conceived plans that stem from pessimism and desperation.

SUN OPPOSITION YOUR SATURN

You tend to be inhibited, shy and reserved.  You are solicitous of other people's good opinion of you.  You accomplish a great deal because you go through a process of self-refinement and self-criticism. As you get older you learn in a very tangible way what the world is capable of providing.  This allows you to become meaningfully self-contained which can lead to the overcoming of fears.  Discipline brings accomplishment and helps dissipate fear.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You have a deeply secretive side to your nature.  You are romantic, humanitarian and idealistic.  You suffer from an excess of emotion and exaggerated sensitivity to anything that goes wrong in life. Unfortunately, something going wrong can mean merely that it didn't live up to your expectations which can be quite inflated.  Your life becomes a dynamic, unstoppable force for good once you accomplish two things: one, you must become self disciplined (i.e. ascetic) enough that you overcome self-indulgence in every form, and two, you must know life by knowing, really knowing, yourself.

SUN SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

Idealistic and hypnotic, you dissolve the world around you.  Your sense of self and the world is without boundaries.  Definition is difficult for you because of this.  You can lighten up and inspire others, but, lead them down the "primrose Path" until you know where you are going. Once your own direction is clarified (no easy task) you can help others.  You are compassionate but have confusion as to an appropriate manner of expression.  Until you gain self-definition helping others is always fraught with danger .

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 ARIES

You have an impelling, immediate approach to life.  Your personality is forceful and your feelings lay close to the surface of experience in life and are easily stimulated.  Your imagination is very powerful and stays active most of the time. You are independent and can move forcefully into a new situation and make strides forward on your own. You are enthusiastic but try to guard against being too self-willed and strident.  Avoid actions that stem from restlessness and you will complete more of the things you start.

Moon in 4th house

When you are at home you have the desire to shut out the rest of the world.  You strive to create a sense of security in the home and family early in life.  You will return to this instinctive orientation to life any time your situation becomes too splintered or too abstract.

Moon in 4th house Unafflicted

Several times in life you find yourself moving based on some instinctive impression.  You have the uncanny ability to be at the right place at the right time.  Safety for you is a strong motivator. You envision this coming about by returning to how things used to be as you have a strong, instinctive attachment to your childhood.  This can be a great asset as you go through the many changes that are required of you in life.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR VENUS

You have a naturally pleasing manner.  You seem to know what people expect and how to present yourself.  Women often play a key role in your life because you really understand them instinctively.  You are a gentle person preferring diplomacy to confrontation.  Your grace and elegance puts others at ease.

MOON SEXTILE YOUR VENUS

You have a special understanding and appreciation for the gentle, receptive and harmony seeking aspect of life.  Because of this quality every relationship contains some happiness and satisfaction for you. Marriage is a special mechanism for growth. You have a good imagination, good artistic skills, and empathy; all of which keeps you attuned to the public at large, who in turn generally supports you. Your ease in social relationships, natural charm, and graciousness gives a pleasantness to the way you present yourself.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You are outwardly successful in life even though you have to go through some inner pain in your personal life.  Your greatest virtue is that you do learn from your mistakes.  You correct your own actions and go on.  Your life may have several low points while you are reorganizing after a setback.  You will be hard-pressed to sort out your true responsibilities and may find the day to day planning of your time to be quite challenging.

MOON SQUARE YOUR SATURN

You can be very accomplished in your career because you have the ability to face your own mistakes honesty and without excuse. You are hard on yourself which adds to your feeling of being quite lonely. Finding emotional happiness is only possible by becoming open with people and by expecting the same from them. You want security and accomplishment in life.  You can and do achieve this, but try not to let worldly success come at the expense of closeness and acceptance from others.  These two values (public versus personal) get in each other's way.  You can have both, but patience, understanding, and hard work are necessary.  Success is built on past mistakes, analysis, and strong personal drive.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You are a good idea person.  You are highly emotional and intuitive. New thoughts and methods come to you in flashes.  Make it a practice to write new ideas down as they occur.  Your ability to explain your thoughts to others, once initially shaped in written form, can find further refinement through discussion if you are a careful listener. You are seldom satisfied unless you are making changes and the more innovative, the better.

MOON SEXTILE YOUR URANUS

You act on unique and experimental thoughts.  You are humanitarian and freedom oriented in the way you explore life. You have a knack for improving your surroundings.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You are emotionally sensitive to others and very idealistic. Your values and beliefs may be at odds with the status quo.  As a matter of fact, they may be just odd.  Don't promote an ideal or value that occurs to you without doing a thorough probe of your own deeper emotional motivations.  You may find that you are wasting your time building bridges between two nonexistent points.  The way out of this dilemma is to demand grounding of your ideas in the day to day workings of your own life.  You may suffer from time to time from a desire to do certain things which you are also afraid of.  You need to work hard at getting continuity between your values and your day to day life.  Avoid escapist actions that act as compensation for feeling incapable or unworthy.

MOON OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE

You suffer from misperceptions and poor judgments.  You can easily promise more than you can deliver to others and suffer by expecting more from them than they will give.  Your life improves greatly when you act on what is present and not on what is projected.

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 TRINE YOUR PLUTO

Compulsive and driven, you accomplish much through your ability to keep trying different approaches to a problem until it is solved.  People either like you or dislike you intensely, as you are consciously focused and emotionally riveting, forcing people to choose sides.  Your emotional instincts operate in a symbolic realm, conferring on you great skill in organizing patterns of thoughts as well as groups of people.  You are very skillful at aligning the positive influences in your life.

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 CAPRICORN

Your mind is practical, clear and literal.  You see the world pretty much as it actually is.  You are naturally resourceful because you are conservative as to what you feel is possible in any circumstance.  You have a sense of diplomacy and impeccable timing in your conversation and communication.  This is not out of courtesy so much as out of your perception of how things are. You make changes along well thought out and accepted lines.  You see the correct time and then jump at the right moment.  Your life improves when you cultivate optimism and a deeper ability to adapt to change.

Mercury in 2nd house

You are good at finding immediate application for the resources at your disposal.  You think in terms of value.  Travel and communication skills may play some role in the way that money and material resources work in your life.

Mercury in 2nd house Afflicted

You need to guard against dissipating your resources unnecessarily. Use your energy to solve problems, not to run away from them.  Money comes and goes.  You do best in life materially when you save part of your income on an automatic basis.

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 SEMI-SQUARE VENUS

You have a real interest in communicating your thoughts to others; you have a pleasing manner of expression.  However, you will occasionally hurt your cause by telling people what you think they want to hear rather than what you really believe.  Try to be consistent in thought and speech.  You will experience more stress in the short run but greater peace of mind.

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You have some conflict between what you see as facts and what you hold as values.  You can see what you believe to be the good in life, but have difficulty getting to it. You sometimes engage in escapist fantasies or compensatory activity that actually carries you further away from your goal.  You are prone to having a division between your inner and outer life that is self defeating.  Your life greatly improves when you demand that you live out consciously any value that you hold as true.  Strive for accuracy and avoid exaggeration when giving descriptions to others.

MERCURY SQUARE YOUR JUPITER

You see life, events, and your self in grandiose terms. Enthusiasm and desire can lead you into telling stories to others that don't exactly correlate with the truth of the matter. Strive to be literal in your telling of the facts.

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

At a core level you don't think well enough about yourself. It may appear that you do on the surface, but the truth of the matter is your pessimism and complaining comes from a fear that life will not give you what you want.  Learn to work smarter and not just harder.  You see the virtue in discipline and often force yourself to do things you feel are good for you.  In turn, you may resent others that don't work as hard.  It is more difficult for you to get where you are going because you are always having to compromise between what you would like to do and what you feel is required.  This conflict between desires and feelings of obligation is often the source of worry, stress, and wasted energy.  For all this, you excel in any area that requires close, careful judgment.

MERCURY OPPOSITION YOUR SATURN

Your feelings of defensiveness come from a perception that others don't hear you and don't understand you.  Being disciplined, orderly, and patient brings consistent stable progress on any project; but, you need to overcome the feeling that the world is your enemy.

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 SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your imagination is in service to your feelings of limitation and you find yourself as an escapist.  You are very sensitive to your environment and little irritations get blown out of proportion in your mind, just as your mind can belittle a really important issue.  This same problem can cause emotional difficulties as there is confusion with others.  Learn to test your conclusions in the world that others live in and you safeguard yourself from making some unfortunate errors. You need a creative outlet for your mind; otherwise, fantasy takes the place of reason at really inconvenient times.

Your romantic life is very unsettling even though very interesting.  Overindulgence gets you into trouble more than once but for all your flaws people basically like you so you stay "people rich" even when you are "dollar poor".  Money comes and goes in great quantities and when you learn to save you have security.

You have difficulty in letting go even when a situation is painful.  You are always dealing with people as symbols of others who are not even present.  Love and power become confused with one another. You have a deeply lodged need to establish your sense of self worth.  Once this is secure you can overcome your fear of being dissolved in a relationship built on equality and will start having more normal interactions.  You need to be less concerned with how you appear to others and more concerned with how you are.

VENUS OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

Your feelings can seem quite congested or frustrated.  At some deep level you fear others.  A feeling of being cut off from your own deepest urges prohibits fulfillment in life.  Jealousy and feelings of alienation are great enemies of yours.  Aim for compromise and act with affirmation and your potent love nature finds a meaningful path of growth.  Fear of rejection stops you from being open and vulnerable.

Mars in 1st house

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 OPPOSITION YOUR URANUS

Your attitude of being overly combative and challenging has to be moderated somewhat in order for you to get to your goals. Fighting and arguing can be a way of avoiding real change in your personality. Listen when others tell you that you have a "chip on your shoulder."

Your prudent, even if narrow, focus generally brings you material success of some variety as you plug along in a cautious and repetitive manner.  Often, you achieve success because your vision is so limited.  You will develop an idea or material position in life focusing intensely on minutia.  It may seem like an unimaginatively long haul to others, but not being encumbered by this type of imagination, you are good at building beach front property one grain of sand at a time.  You attract situations that allows use of your analytical skills.  Your highest vision of truth revolves around (and ritualizes) what has gone on before. Because of this you may spend much of this life looking for meaning or purpose. It is difficult for you to feel satisfied with what you accomplish, always assuming that meaning is out there in front of you somewhere.  Even though you are searching for truth your basic instincts carry you on a "highway of life" lined more by practical and necessary considerations than the philosophical and speculative.  You are prudent and generally avoid taking risks; still, you look for and expect to excel in anything that requires attention to detail, research skill and giving service.  In these things you feel lucky and will usually succeed in any business or venture that uses them.

Jupiter in 10th house

JUPITER CONJUNCT NEPTUNE

You have great promise for both material and emotional happiness in life.  You are a dreamer and an idealist.  You come into money at some time in life.  Stay open to the possibility without going in search of luck and it will find you.  You love people, art and anything that elevates the human spirit.  Guard against excess and extravagance and life is much simpler.

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 SEMI-SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

Your judgment and your perception of problematic situations can "miss the mark" and cause you to repeat projects many times looking for the perfect formula.  Critical details can be overlooked, causing you difficulties, but for all this you manage to get acceptable results, just not as abundant a return as you would like or expect.

SATURN SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

Responsibilities create confusion for you.  You may feel very burdened by your beliefs which lead to feeling quite isolated from the rest of society.  Your life improves when you are able to rise above self-pity and see how you inadvertently cause your own suffering.  You need to build success by shuttling between your obligations and your ideals.

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 SQUARE.

You have lots of energy and you need it.  Your life changes through the resolving of conflicts.  You are a fighter and you get clarity by drawing lines between the perceived good and bad of the moment.  Your inclination is to be action oriented first, and reason things out after the battle.  Your hunches are based on the odds.  You take an empirical approach to problem solving. Your keyword is Energy.

     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.

Moon in the Fourth House.

You have a good family life.  Your ability to focus your attention on your personal life gives you continuity in your daily habits.  Family, your past, and heritage means more to you as you get older.

Your responses to life are immediate and energetic.  You do your best work through adopting a "take charge" attitude toward your circumstances.  Acting personally and physically usually the best strategy for you to materialize your thoughts.

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 Sun

The way that you naturally seek self-expression and ego satisfaction cuts against the grain of personal integration. Simply put, you get in your own way.  Locate the source of your self-imposed conflict and work toward forms of expression that bring the conflicting elements of your personality together on friendly terms.

Afflicted Mercury

You suffer because you draw the wrong conclusions from your perceptions.  There are several ways of breaking out of a negative picture.  You can ask other people's advice as to your present course of action in life, you can strive to be more empirical in your observations, and you can look for a consistent pattern in your past actions.  Through expanding your perceptions, you can break out of a self-limiting mental bubble.

Afflicted Jupiter

Your values are lopsided so your energy and judgment is off. Overcoming pride, waste and unrealistic expectations creates the pathway to a more stable value system.  Your life improves when you are able to corral your aberrant need to feel that you "belong".  Things improve when you are able to establish a self picture based on your own approval rather than public acceptance.

Afflicted Saturn

Fear and self-restriction have stopped you many times from enjoying life as much as you could.  Work on breaking the habit of worrying by learning to see it and feel it as starts to manifest and using your sense of detachment to stop it.  When you act unkindly to others or you are reacting to their unkindness to you, get to the roots of your fears.  Force yourself out of your fears and refuse to let them be your motivation.  You will see a new picture of the universe and your place in it start to develop along very pleasing lines.

Jupiter in Virgo

Your values are so much more limited than you think they are. You can see (and then potentially change) your limitations by observing how you make choices; then honestly evaluating the long-term results that come from your decisions.  Practical considerations ground your ideals and you do best to make sure that the practical issues are taken care of first.  When you let your mind fly free, then try to manifest your vision, you end up chasing a rainbow and wasting your energy.  Before you embark on any project evaluate the material and circumstantial needs the situation.

Jupiter in the Tenth House

You have difficulty separating the essence of your values from how they appears to others.  What you really stand for is more important than whether or not it is accepted by others.  When you learn to be completely honest with yourself and others, you have a great skill for facilitating the completion of any project or group work you become involved with.

Saturn in Cancer

Your fears often stop you from being as open with people as you might like to be.  This fear can lead you into miscalculating your real obligations.  You have often spent time trying to help others in ways that didn't really aid them while ignoring the things that you could easily do for them.  Through understanding, it is possible to overcome some artificial barriers and apply your skills in ways that really benefit everyone.

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.

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 Semi-Sextile Uranus

You can suffer in life by hiding your greatest forms of self expression from others.  Don't withhold the emerging thoughts and inspirations within you.  Be willing to go through the pattern of correction required by your conflicting desires.  You can find a way to express and fulfill both your urge for freedom and your need for security during the process of self discovery.

Saturn in Growth aspect to Pluto

There is an austere streak in your nature that you can use for your development.  In order for this quality to be useful to you though, you need to be able to translate the propensities to be frugal, diminutive, and limiting into something that is a productive tool.  When this efficiency driven part of your personality is focused on tactical or technical considerations, this tight knit bundling of energy serves you well.  Still, for you, "small" should never be an end in itself.  In this process of growth you may have to come to terms with the part of your nature that is fearful and the part of you that is fanatical. It may not be obvious to you at first, but this very attribute will force you to develop a deeper grasp of your own psychology as several years of observation go by.

Saturn Semi-Sextile Pluto

Learning how to develop meaningful discipline will lead you to more positive career achievement.  Even though your natural inclination is to find some idea or procedure that works, you often lack vision as to how to expand and share your techniques and procedures with others. Reevaluate your situation.  Sometimes when you ask too much of yourself, instead of being in the mood of healthy self structuring, you are just being selfish.  Look at this closely, then reexamine your fears in relationship to your goals.  No discipline, no progress.  And, it is also true, if you "play your cards too close to your chest", even you can't see them.

     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.

Sun Parallel Mars

You have a good inner drive and great recuperative powers.  Your immune system works very well.  You are driven by an undertone of anger much of the time.  This can create rash and aggressive behavior. Getting to the root and understanding your drives helps free and strengthen your energy.

Saturn Parallel Uranus

You possess a very strong will and can stay with a point or project long after it has become difficult.  There is a creative and original aspect of your personality, which is balanced by the common sense and practical side of your nature.

Saturn Parallel North Node of the Moon

Your naturally conservative instincts are at the back of everything that you do that pulls you forward in life.  Slow and cautious is the best style for almost every project during the development stage of your work.  You are best when you are honoring the way that things have been in the past.  This keeps you grounded in the intensely practical.

Uranus Parallel North Node of the Moon

Harnessing the energy and enthusiasm of new and radically different ideas improves the general circumstances of your life. Paying attention to what you do that is different and unique helps you create meaningful psychological separation from others which improves your self perception.

Sun Contra-Parallel Saturn

Your strength in life develops out of your deep, serious outlook on life.  At your best you are practical and at your worst you are too "turned in" on yourself.  This can lead to depression. Slow progress made carefully, over a long period of time, seems most real to you.

Sun Contra-Parallel Pluto

A certain potency underlies all of your relationships.  When you are involved with anyone you bring a lot of hidden expectations to any interaction.  Emotional transformation is so important to you it will subtly drive your selection of projects and will power you through the details of every mission leading you to your distant and far reaching goals.

Mercury Contra-Parallel Uranus

A will of iron lays behind everything that you do. It is as if the uncertainty connected with other people and your flashes of insight cause you to act erratically, think spontaneously, and talk quickly. This can be charming but also leads to misunderstandings. Using your genius productively requires learning to deal creatively with interruptions.

Mars Contra-Parallel Pluto

Other people arouse in you great responses which includes adding to your already sufficient energy.  This can allow you access to more resources which in turn allows you more influence and more expression. It's as if others assist you to touch into some underground spring of energy.  This is not always pleasant but it can always be revealing and relevant if you pay attention.

     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 Cancer

Opening your heart to others, being involved in the creative process betters your life.  Learn to deal with how things are, not for what they can become.  Concentrate on issues of family and emotional bonds and less on practical results.  You know how to be responsible, the big question is "Can you learn to be responsive to the emotional needs of others?"  The development of empathy and bonding requires you to take steps away from pessimism and to approach life's fuller possibilities.

North Node of the Moon in Cancer and in the Eighth House

Your fear of deprivation can easily create a pattern of greed for you that is quite difficult to overcome.  This is a difficult life for learning sharing and reasonable self-containment.  A number of your difficulties dealing with sex and money are traceable to patterns learned from your parents and your early environment.  Controlling your words can lead to control of your thoughts and behavior which leads to better emotional expression.
