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.

Both Upper and Lower as well as Right and Left Hemispheres are Equal

You are equally poised between the active and the reactive sides of life.  You have equal investment in the outer, collective, extroverted side of life and the deep, inner, personal, introverted side of life. This gives you varied experiences that create a basis for genuine understanding of many different types of people and situations.  You have more difficulty than most people gathering all of your experiences together and gaining a sense of personal integration.  It is as if you are at war with yourself or at least performing some sort of continuous inner isometric.  You always do best if you seek some higher aesthetic solution to the conflicts of your life.

          2. Quadrant

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

No Quadrant Emphasis

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

     B.  Elements and Modes

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

          1. Elements

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

Fire

Mercury is your only fire planet.  You have 10% of chart in fire. You struggle to sustain your energy and enthusiasm for personal projects. You experience disappointment at times because your mind runs way out in front of world circumstances.  For this reason, you need to be very selective as to what projects of your own you care to materialize. There is always a danger that if you get  "too  many irons in the fire" you will run out of fire. Correct pacing of your efforts is often the key to success.

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

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

          2. Modes

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

Cardinal

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

Fixed

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 an abundance of mutability in your chart.  You are a thinker and attempt to accommodate a number of circumstances and people in your environment.  You may have difficulty choosing a direction and staying with it.  Truth has a way of becoming a highly personal subjective factor; consequently, others think of you as not being able to communicate simple truths in a factual way.  You are nervous and may need more B-Vitamins in your diet, rest, and meditation in order to be balanced.

     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.

                             AQUARIUS RISING

You have a striking and unusual personality and appearance.  You express a human and humanistic quality that others admire.  You have a charm  and magnetism that affects others in a positive way.  You seek opportunities to interact with others in a wholesome and elevating way. You are so interested in people, ideas and projects that others seldom recognize how glued in you are to a preselected agenda.  Because you are interested in everything and have wide humanitarian qualities and concerns, people often underestimate your tenacity. Actually you are incredibly vigilant and loyal.  Once you have selected a person or project in life, you can persevere regardless of the cost. You have a knack for doing the unexpected.  You are so creative and original others never really know what to expect.  Others are often attracted to your beauty.

Venus Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 1st House and afflicted

You have charm and others are attracted to you but vanity or self indulgence can work against you.  When you are motivated to help others the negative side of this attribute is improved.  There is an artistic side to your personality that can be the foundation of talent but this requires effort to manifest.  Your physical presence will always be noticed by others, but be careful that you are not letting your energy be taken up by posing.  The less that you are concerned with how you appear to others the more that your personal relationships smooth out.

Mars Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 1st House and afflicted.

You have energy plus but great difficulty in harnessing it to useful projects.  Some people appreciate your intensity, but many people feel affronted by it.  Your temper, assertiveness and erratic personal habits are a stumbling block for you.  Life improves as you get regular and balanced.  Your energy is useful and acknowledged, when you apply it harmoniously with the circumstances of the moment.  Your anger is a by-product of your desire nature.  Time, physical exercise, and study leads to personal balance which allows you to utilize your energy better. Self-control is the key to success.

Jupiter Sesquiquadrate the Ascendant

Periodically your self-indulgence carries you away from your life goals.  You are generous and helpful to others.  This quality is well used when you no longer care what others think about you. Your growth and progress is secure and even paced after you have learned to say no to  yourself and others.  Your social life can be fun but has a way of getting out of hand.  You have an exciting and meaningful life that is easier to live when you are more stable.

Saturn Semi-Sextile the Ascendant

You work hard to develop discipline and continuity of purpose. When you become serious and focused your life tends to take on a very narrow caste.  You suffer and life lacks joy.  Balance is needed, and once acquired, you learn the amazing skill of having much come to you and from you with a minimum of effort.

          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.

                          SAGITTARIUS MIDHEAVEN

You are idealistic and changeable in your orientation toward your work. You look for the biggest possible area to operate in.  This quality may lead you to altering your direction many times.  Your loyalty tends to be for an ideal rather than to a specific person or circumstance.

Sun Semi-Square Midheaven

You make your mark on the world and on others.  You may have some struggles coming to terms with your responsibilities.  This stumbling block may have to be confronted a few times before you get your direction of achievement clearly demarcated.  You do make your way in life.  Your personality is painted in bold colors.

Mercury Semi-Sextile the Midheaven

A certain nervousness and sense of adventure can have you switching techniques or arenas of operation so often that tasks remain undone. Clarity of purpose and patience bring you long range success in life. You have a way with words and can move others when your mind is clearly fixed on a goal and method for its achievement.

Neptune Separating Conjunction to Midheaven and unafflicted.

Your high ideas and psychic insights into the way that things work guide you toward an appreciation of life's subtleties which are lost on less sensitive souls.  You have a love of foreign culture and a dreamy visionary quality that aids you in your long range planning.

     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.

Venus Conjunct Mars

Think of Sections V. VENUS - Your love nature, and VI. MARS -Your energy, as a single unit.  This Conjunction represents a central theme in the way that you form your values.  It is fundamental to the way you acquire what you want in life.

Uranus Conjunct Pluto

Think of Sections IX. URANUS - Your search for freedom, and XI. PLUTO -Your need for fundamental change, as operating together. This combination shows strength of purpose and drive for spontaneous creativity.  This Conjunction is a central ingredient in your life.

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 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 IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MOON

You have a tendency to get in your own way.  You have material and emotional needs that cut against the grain of what you try to accomplish for ego satisfaction.  You have some real success in life but it can be short-lived or fluctuating until the time that you have eked out some reasonable compromise between your inner drives and your mechanisms and techniques for accomplishing your goals.  When you have difficulty mastering sufficient physical vitality or enthusiasm for a goal you have chosen, it is time to get to the roots of the inner conflict that is stealing your energy.

SUN OPPOSITION YOUR MOON

Dynamic tension exists between energy and goals.  You have difficulty accomplishing your objectives in life because of basic conflicts you have between your ego drives and your emotional needs.  You will tend to live out one directly and to project the other onto someone else in your life.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

SUN SEXTILE YOUR SATURN

You are serious, cautious and reserved.  Lucky at finding the simplest way to complete a project, you expect the good in life. Your background, your past, your training and your instincts lead you to expect success.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  URANUS

You are always looking for a better way of being.  You have keen perception for the untried and can envision things that might be, even though they do not yet exist.  You have a sense for the dramatic and can express a new idea as if it was commonplace and common sense.  You are unique and will often play an inspirational role in others' lives. You are prone to sudden romantic attachments as you recognize the uniqueness of others.

SUN TRINE YOUR URANUS

You embody excitement.  The exceptions to the rules lead you on a path of self-discovery.  Freedom calls.  You respond.  And, many improvements in your life come about as a direct result of your response to the call.  You look for new, all inclusive solutions to life issues.  You like people and can be a good friend.

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.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  PLUTO

You are penetrating in your insight and informative in your suggestions to others.  You ask a good deal of yourself and are driven unconsciously toward important issues.  You have an instinctive and natural grasp of fundamentals.  You approach anything new with a blend of distrust and curiosity, but when you commit to some project you are one hundred percent behind it and execute your part with daring and self-confidence.  You make a true friend and a great ally.  Your vitality is very strong.

SUN TRINE YOUR PLUTO

You expect greatness as well as deep, far reaching effects for your efforts.  Your vitality, personal magnetism and drive produce fortunate and accomplished results.  You put your "Hallmark" on everything you do.  You are insightful, being a good investigator and a genuinely healing individual.  You have a magic ability to transform yourself and every situation through your intensity of focus.

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 CANCER

You are sympathetic and sentimental.  Your imagination and feelings are well developed and run deep.  You have a deep emotional bond with things and people from the past.  You cherish anyone that you have had an emotional connection with.  There is an idealistic and romantic element to all your relationships. You are at home in the home.  You have a strong domestic side to your personality and you enjoy cooking for others and nurturing them.  If you find yourself falling into a mood or being very shy and withholding, attempt to become more verbal. Many difficulties can be straightened out by talking.

Moon in 6th house

You have an unconscious need to find the origin of what isn't working. You are capable of working in routine and menial jobs as part of your larger career picture or as part of a social process that allows you to transcend a sense of personal responsibility.

Moon in 6th house Unafflicted

By the time you reach adulthood you have figured out what works and what doesn't work at the level of your daily routines and habits.  You find satisfaction through helping others and have a natural instinct for knowing where and when to give assistance. Good practical training has built a powerful gridwork of social graces and charms into the floor of your unconscious.

MOON IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

Your Moon in aspect to your Sun is a central feature of you life. This aspect is the primary indicator of your basic energy.  We talked about this aspect in the Section II.  The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

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 SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You have a deep and abiding connection with music and art.  When you are upset or feeling unbalanced; you can gain a sense of peace through music, meditation, and isolation.  You are a sensitive and creative soul.  As long as you are not too passive, your life has the good fortune to unfold along the path of least resistance.  (Becoming too passive can mean stagnation).  You are idealistic and believe the best about people.  This is good and helps people, but remember to concentrate on people as they are, and not just what they might become. A lofty potential is always there but might not ever manifest.

MOON TRINE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your senses become a deep road to pleasure and your idealistic mannerisms and proposals win you an audience which you inspire. You are very sensitive and need time alone, in quiet surroundings, in order to be balanced.  You have a deep appreciation for music and are moved emotionally by its color, rhythm and timbre.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  PLUTO

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

MOON SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO

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

SECTION IV.  MERCURY - Your Mental Life.

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

MERCURY IN SAGITTARIUS

Your mind naturally moves toward the big picture.  You are always looking "over the hills and far away".  You are independent in thought while honestly thinking that you are the mainstream standard of life.  You think you are "telling it like it is" but the truth of the matter is you are telling it like "it ought to be".  There is a moralizing, impulsive and propagating side of whatever you assert.  You usually miss details that others feel important, but the breadth of your vision and the joy and lightheartedness of your attitude encourages people to be open to what you say.  When you adjust to new circumstances in life, you do so briefly, always holding onto the picture of how things should be.  Your vision improves when you are able to face how things really are without discarding your values.

Mercury in 11th house

You have a truly comprehensive approach to life.  You are open minded and adaptable.  You enjoy intellectual friendships.  You have a strong desire to earn your own way and carry your own weight in life.

Mercury in 11th house Afflicted

You need to struggle against a conceited and stubborn attitude towards life.  You may be involved with deceitful friends or people who use you for ulterior motives.  Strive for personal honesty and you will be able to sort out truth in all your relationships.

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 MARS

You can be a tireless worker and powerful promoter of a cause. You like working with instruments and machinery and have some mechanical aptitude.  Your temper can be problematic, getting you into squabbles and disagreements where there doesn't have to be any.  You have difficulty being either a diplomat or a leader so you are best to define your own work and territory and stick to it.  Learn to take a break when things don't go your way, rather than becoming angry and frustrated.

MERCURY SEMI-SQUARE YOUR MARS

Your temper flares quickly as your mind becomes easily nervous and overloaded with data.  You experience this as irritation until you develop the ability to organize your thought process and harness your enthusiasm and energy to specific projects.

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 OPPOSITION YOUR JUPITER

You have an adventuresome mind but can be the master of "jumping to the wrong conclusion".  Patience and discipline serve you well and guard you against ending up being responsible for something you have no control over.  You suffer from unrealistic expectations of other people.  You are taken advantage of primarily because of your own wishful thinking.  Deal more with what people do and less on what they promise, and life is easier.

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 AQUARIUS

You love intellectual stimulation and companionship.  You are idealistic, social and really unselfish.  You are humanitarian and unconventional and unafraid of the path in front of you, regardless of whether others have been this way before or not. You value music, poetry and art from the future or the ancient past, often both.  You find inner balance through your search for reality and through large humanitarian projects.

Venus in 1st house

You are loving and often physically attractive.  You know what to present to others and you are good at putting on a happy face. Your sense of taste and social diplomacy is noticed by others. You like other people and desire their appreciation.

Venus in 1st house Afflicted

You make others feel uncomfortable at times or suffer rejection because your petty vanities are hard for others to take.  Your natural flirtatiousness may bring you some things in life you would rather not have.  Strive to see beyond the immediate sensations and experiences of the moment.

VENUS CONJUNCT MARS.

You have sex appeal and abnormally powerful magnetic charm. People generally like you which is fine with you since you are always interested in them at some level or other.  You are a relationship person and always have something going on in this area of your life.  You give of yourself in relationships but also ask a great deal from others.  You may be looking for something from others that you can only find in yourself.  You have a keen interest in the arts and will excel in any line of work that brings out your creativity.

VENUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

VENUS SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

You get fooled by others easily as you are naive and a dreamer. Although you wish the best of yourself and of life, you get off on the wrong foot at the practical level.  You have artistic talent but it doesn't develop along expressive lines.  First, your artistic inclinations direct you toward understanding people.  When you are successful here your underlying self expression finds some aesthetic manifestation.

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 AQUARIUS

You desire originality.  You are naturally attracted to the unusual. Humanitarianism is an ideal of yours but when you translate this ideal into action you can be blunt and impersonal. Your energy is dynamic and very independent.  Your method for getting what you want is to be experimental until you hit on a winning formula.  You can drive toward your goal in a very organized way.  You need to develop the sensitive, personable side of your nature a bit more.  Then, your energy flows smoother and more naturally.

Mars in 1st house

You are strong-willed.  You project a sense of power and vitality.  You are physical in your approach to life and are a doer.  If something isn't to your liking, you are apt to take some sort of action rather than just suffer or adjust.

Mars in 1st house Afflicted

Others may fear you or flatly just dislike you.  You may be misunderstood because your personality is highly explosive. Avoid anger as the first response to uncomfortable situations. When your energy is properly channeled you are very creative and dynamic.

MARS IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

Your Mars in aspect to Mercury shows that you have a strong desire nature attached to your thought processes.  The impact of this aspect on you reasoning process is discussed in Section IV. Mercury - Your Mental 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 SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR JUPITER

Abrupt bursts of energy, great confidence, and keen insight gives your life a touch of adventure.  Your competitiveness and brashness can easily get you in trouble but, correctly balanced against a strong moral conscience and thoroughly understood personal motives, you go far in life and are lucky.

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 GEMINI

Your primary value is information.  You are perpetually bubbling over with new ideas and always anxious for more input.  This is because you have an innate belief that knowledge can solve all problems that emerge in life.  You try to relate all factors that come to you to everything else that you know about.  As a consequence, you develop great mental versatility and acquire skill at verbal expression.  Your love of novelty may lead your energy in too many directions at once. The big difficulty in life for you is to be spread so thin that you have no closure on any subject.  Make sure your knowledge of a subject is not so general as to be superficial.

Jupiter in 5th house

You are fond of self-expression.  You are a natural creator, demonstrator and teacher.  You experience much joy through artistic and cultural outlets.  You have the ability to get along with children.

Jupiter in 5th house  Afflicted

Avoid gambling.  You feel lucky but tend to overplay your hand. Learn the difference between investment and speculation and find out where they fit into your life.

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 HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

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

JUPITER SQUARE YOUR URANUS

You have great difficulty feeling comfortable.  Some inner dynamic in your psyche is always searching for freedom and this component gives you the message that you should change, move, or strive harder.  You may change from a productive course of action to a nonproductive one because you are desirous of change, or you may "kill the goose that lays the golden egg"  many times before you learn to leave well enough alone.

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 SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

Intensity and hard work doesn't always give good results.  When you become compulsive, your problems often grow exponentially rather than just reaching a resolution.  However, there is a side benefit from this expansion.  Your efforts at problem solving bring new items of interest to the surface and you plow through the fields of your daily existence. You learn about life, yourself, and your value system by seeing the kinds of difficulties you attract.  The worst disasters in your life seem to leave you unscathed and this type of luck should give you deep gratitude.

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 PISCES

You have a deep-seated fear of isolation and you are prompted to get involved with society both from this fear and its origin, which is lack of faith in life.  Negative experiences from the past end up having too much control over your perceptions of the current situations as well as your projections into the future. You are deeply sympathetic and a champion of the victims of social wrongs. You know what it's like to hurt and share in other peoples pain.  You need to pull yourself out of self-pity and feeling that the universe is conspiring against you.  Develop hope, detachment, and objectivity and you will be a valuable player in the world at large.

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 THE SUN

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

SATURN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You learn most lessons in life the hard way, but you do learn. It is common for you to attempt to do something the way you have done it before and find out the old method will not work or doesn't apply. When you try to apply a new method you find you have to be empirical, trying many things before you find what will work.  You find life easier if you avoid letting emotional tension build up and if you make it a practice to speak your mind.

SATURN OPPOSITION YOUR URANUS

You have great trouble expressing your true perceptions as you tend to vacillate between an erratic casualness toward your obligations and a willfully dictatorial attitude.  Others find you difficult to approach if they disagree with you.  You suffer from feelings of isolation. Your deep inner fears of inadequacy have to be met and overcome if you are to be able to achieve your objectives in life.

SATURN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

SATURN OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

You may feel that the world is out to get you.  Be willing to examine yourself and your own life so you don't end up feeling cornered and fighting back for control.  You may try to take the edge off what looks like a hard existence by assuming absolute control of everything around you.  Get simple, control yourself and take responsibility for what is really yours.  "Even the Gods can't defeat a man who has won a victory over himself." -Buddha.

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 VIRGO

You see a picture of perfection and you willfully dive toward it. Although you are insightful, you need to stay open to alternate points of view.

Uranus in 7th house

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

Uranus in 7th house Unafflicted

You make an exciting partner.  You take and give a tremendous amount of freedom.  You help others develop a spirit of independence.  You attract a variety of interesting people into your life.  People will often share a part of themselves with you that stays hidden much of the time.

URANUS IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

URANUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You have an interest in spiritual subjects and are inclined to live out one of your higher visions of truth at some time in this life. You project a big picture of the possible in society.  Your unconscious mind is a forceful, creative energy that bursts forth every so often.

URANUS SEXTILE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your underlying faith in some higher all encompassing truth gives you balance and a belief in your own ability to achieve personal freedom some day.  Further, you are quite tolerant of many other approaches to change other than your own.  You distrust back sliding, indecision, and lack of motion.

URANUS CONJUNCT PLUTO

You have a compulsive and unconscious desire to change.  There is a revolutionary quality to the way you go about bringing change in life. Years can go by relatively peacefully and then all of a sudden there is an explosion in your life.  When the dust settles all goes well again but you and your world are never the same. Real change is always fundamental.

SECTION X.  NEPTUNE - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals.

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

NEPTUNE IN SCORPIO

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

Neptune in 9th house

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

Neptune in 9th house Unafflicted

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

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO THE 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.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO URANUS

You have Neptune in aspect to Uranus showing that one part of your nature will have a propensity to act out the unexpected. How this manifests is indicated in Section IX.  Uranus - Your Search for Freedom.

NEPTUNE IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

NEPTUNE SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO

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

SECTION XI.  PLUTO - Your Need For Fundamental Change.

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

PLUTO IN VIRGO

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

Pluto in 7th house

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

Pluto in 7th house Unafflicted

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

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have an aspect from Pluto to your Sun showing that much of your ego stays submerged and that you have a deep wellspring of inner forces to call upon.  This is described in Section II.  The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO NEPTUNE

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.

Moon in Cancer.

Your instincts and personal feelings are so deep and your ability to bond with others so direct and honest that you easily get along with anyone you have established a positive past history with.

Mercury in the Eleventh House.

You are very good at getting input from others when arriving at a conclusion or looking for a new direction.  Conversation is always stimulating and generally productive.

Mars in the First House.

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.

     C.  YOUR MOST PERSISTENT DIFFICULTIES.

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

Afflicted 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 Venus

You sell yourself short in love.  You have great difficulty getting your true emotional intentions to the surface and self-expression can be awkward, overly self-conscious, or ineffective in achieving your heart's desire.  The key to personal development in love and interpersonal expression lays in setting your emotional priorities. This leads to less conflict and to the experience of more satisfaction.

Afflicted Mars

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

Afflicted 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.

Mercury in Sagittarius

You are always looking down the road and telling others how life ought to be.  Your natural propensity to deal with the big picture means you miss details, facts and the present moment. Concentrate on the immediate moment or compensate for your lack of attention by utilizing others.

Venus in the First House

You may suffer from a heavy dose of vanity.  The only way out of a self-created trap is when your picture of yourself has risen to identify with all life.  Then, you build relationships on love and beauty that are unique and lasting.

Jupiter in Gemini

Your values are shortsighted and your "devil-may-care" approach to life may get you in trouble if you don't restrain your inclination to get involved with new projects.  You must develop the habit of taking stock of the long view before jumping into something that will give you new responsibilities while leaving prior commitments unfinished.  You do well when you complete your current project before taking on a new one.

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.

Pluto in Virgo

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

     D.  THE GROWTH ASPECTS

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

Moon in Growth Aspect to Jupiter

You live with a kind of emotional self validation that requires very little from life or others in order to sustain itself.  This has both positive and negative aspects to it.  On one hand you are able to maintain your inner equilibrium regardless of circumstances.  On the other hand you do avoid emotionally charged situations by self glorifying compensation and by ignoring facts that make your self picture appear in a bad light. Being honest with yourself while maintaining a lighthearted and fun loving demeanor is the way of growth and development.

Moon Semi-Sextile Jupiter

Recognize that your faith in yourself and the life process is based on a deep shyness.  You are unconsciously selective in choosing the areas in which you work and express yourself.  Be honest with yourself as to your real strengths and weaknesses, then be willing to express yourself in a larger context than the one you are usually attracted to.

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.

Jupiter in Growth aspect to Neptune

You are sitting on a "gold mine" of opportunity.  The problems of using this opportunity correctly is to require you to form better judgments in order to see more accurately the gift of optimism and long range planning that are potentially the underpinning of your judgments.  The gentle side of your nature can lead to escapism, which stops you from moving forward in life.  For your ideals to manifest they must be tested in the material world. This is the path of value unfoldment for you.  Be empirical.

Jupiter Quincunx Neptune

The imaginative and humanitarian side of your nature needs lots of exercise in a "trial and error" manner before you are able to get your best skills to emerge in a way that is non-intrusive and can elicit the best qualities in others.  The artistic side of your nature may seek a manner of expression that allows you to stay behind the scenes so you do not have to climb the learning curve required to interface directly with the public.

     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.

Mars Parallel Ascendant

You are able to muster that extra energy to complete a project and you have an underlying fascination with physical strength. You can access a fun-loving zest for life if you give yourself the time to step back from your work pattern and have some detachment from your intense focus.

Sun Contra-Parallel Jupiter

You expect the best out of life and anticipate good coming to you in every situation.  Being overly zealous about your own activities can become an impediment to developing real relationships, but in any regard, you tend to have positive results from your actions.  When you are experiencing difficulties due to your over extension, other people can help you.  Listen to them.

Mercury Contra-Parallel Jupiter

You are open to higher thoughts that have a refining influence on your mind and values.  You are captivated with the big picture of things wishing a more positive outcome for your efforts than circumstances support.  You are generally optimistic in your appraisal of life circumstances and you enthusiastically encourages others.  You believe in the power of discussion to assist any difficult situation.

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.

Pluto Contra-Parallel Ascendant

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

North Node of the Moon Contra-Parallel Ascendant

Your relationships to other people feed your soul.  The exact manner and style of your personal interactions need to be regular and regulated in order for you to feel energized.  You have some patterns from the past that you will need to relinquish when you wish to change your way of dealing with people.  Your frozen persona serves you well under most circumstances; when it does, this is an important invitation to change.

     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 Gemini

Your life experience betters through acquiring new information while being able to let go of past judgments.  Your sense for what is right and proper can stop you from being able to honestly appraise the situations around you.  Poor judgment can come from prejudicial thinking and being too attached to the appearance of things.  An addiction to "higher principle" can give you an excuse for being ineffectual in your daily life and unnecessarily separate you from others.  Let go of "mental ruts" and false pride so you can learn.

North Node of the Moon in Gemini and in the Fourth House

Learning to listen to others and directing your attention to domestic responsibilities is the path of progress.  You experience the world of ideas more fully within yourself when you teach others to communicate. Your feelings of being better than others keeps you aloof and unfulfilled emotionally.  This life betters through honoring and nurturing early childhood connections with family, parents and friends.

                          TABLE OF DEFINITIONS

                               THE  ASPECTS

                  ***Basic classification of aspects***

Hard or difficult aspects.  - Semi-square, Square, Sesquiquadrate, and Opposition.  These are the aspects that help us recognize the ingredients in our personality that need changing.

Easy or soft aspects.  - Trines and Sextiles.  These are the aspects that express our talents and skills.

Growth aspects.  - Semi-sextiles and quincunx.  These are aspects that give us opportunity to grow.  They indicate long term development of some key aspect of your personality and behavior for this life time.

Power aspects.  - Conjunctions, Parallels, and Contra-parallels. These are the aspects that show energy, force, reorganization and transformational ability.

              ***Circumstances  of  the  planets  by  aspect***

Afflicted  -  A  planet  is  called  afflicted  when  it  has  only  hard  (difficult)  aspects.    These  planets  represent  our  greatest  challenges  and  our  more  promising  areas  of  growth.

Unafflicted  -  A  planet  is  unafflicted  when  it  is  not  limited  to  only  hard  aspects.    This  can  mean  that  the  planet  has  no  aspects,  has  only  easy  aspects,  or  has  both  hard  and  soft  aspects.

Well  Aspected  -  A  planet  is  called  well  aspected  when  it  has  no  hard  aspects.    This  shows  ease  of  expression  and  a  certain  ability  to  bring  the  ingredients  symbolized  forward  into  life  with  little  or  no  conflict.

                   ***Special points in your chart***

Ascendant - This is the same as the cusp of the first house.  The Ascendant refers to your physical body and how you meet the world, how you present yourself.

Midheaven - This is the same as the cusp of your tenth house. The Midheaven refers to how we rise and fall in life, our social position and our orientation to our family, culture and history.

Moon's North Node. - Our direction in life.  How we form relationship bonds with the environment as well as people.

Vertex - A point in our chart were we tend to feel out of control.  It is a place where we easily give ourselves over to something beyond the scope of our own life.
