SECTION I.  The Structure and Intent of Your Life.

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

     A.  Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis

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

          1. Hemisphere

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

Most planets Below the Horizon

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

Most Planets Rising

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

          2. Quadrant

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

Most Planets in the First Quadrant

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

     B.  Elements and Modes

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

          1. Elements

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

Fire

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

Earth

Neptune is your only planet in an earth sign.  Just 10% of your chart is in the earth element, but it still holds the key to your spiritual aspirations and ideals.  Therefore although you struggle very hard to be practical and thorough in life this is a worthwhile project since it is a way to grow.  Other people are more concerned with results than you are.  You experience frustrations because the material circumstances of your world don't support your picture of what you want.  This changes when you focus on the fundamental building blocks of your future.  To make progress on your path to success, you are forced to concentrate exclusively on the results of your efforts.

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

          2. Modes

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

Cardinal

You have 30% of your chart in the cardinal mode showing you have a dynamism within you that prefers to act according to your own perceptions rather than someone else's.  You are action-oriented, but you easily follow others' lead if they are going in a direction that you like.

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.

Jupiter Square the Ascendant

Misplaced idealism and inflated expectations of life and of others can lead you in circles and away from your goals.  You are lucky but need a consistent and realistic direction to have this count for something. Overindulgence can get you into trouble. Too much of anything, even the "good life", can get in the way of self-knowledge.  Learn to be satisfied with what you have and you are successful.  Learn to moderate your social life and you will find relationships more meaningful.

Uranus Square the Ascendant

Your need for independence seems to take precedence over everything else.  You have an inner compulsion that you should be able to do anything you want whenever you want.  This can be dangerous, contributing to accidents, physical, mental and emotional nervousness, and explosive fits of temper.  You are humanitarian and have a love of people.  Instead of being rebellious and iconoclastic, as your personality becomes more stable, you become adventuresome and inventive. Personal freedom is so important to you that you let nothing get in the way of your exercising it.  When this creative quality is integrated into your personality you do much to elevate other people's lives.

Pluto Opposition the Ascendant and in the 6th House and unafflicted.

You have keen penetrating insight into others.  You can assess and address issues in someone else's life before they realize that they have the difficulty.  This skill works well for you but doesn't mean that you are necessarily close to others.  Others can admire you and find your insights helpful without wanting you involved in their lives.

          2.  The Midheaven

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

                            SCORPIO MIDHEAVEN

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

Mercury Trine Midheaven

You have a knack for making changes in life-style and career to accommodate changes in the world.  Your language skills are an important asset in the performance of your job or social position.

Mars Trine Midheaven

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

Jupiter Semi-Sextile the Midheaven

Pride may get in the way so that you don't truly recognize how much help you receive from others.  It is only through this recognition that your life takes on continuity and balance person to person and personal life to career.  Take the time to truly acknowledge other peoples' contribution to your life, livelihood, and career.  Through doing this you create a new context through which to understand how lucky you really are.  Further, you may start recognizing the finer qualities within you that your superiors have seen all along.

Saturn Square Midheaven

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

Uranus Quincunx the Midheaven

You are one of the world's truly unique people.  You may be misunderstood a good deal, but, other people's perception of you and what you are doing can inadvertently help you a great deal. Be open to the unusual and the "once in a life time" opportunities that come to you.   Learning how to integrate your own peculiar rhythm with the steady pulse of the rest of your society is challenging, but once this skill is mastered and you not only have an interesting and satisfying life, but, you have fun.

Pluto Trine Midheaven

Computers, math, psychology and working with symbols can be important on your job.  You like digging out secrets and can be very well suited for research.  You have strength of character that makes you a difficult person to oppose.

     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.

Mercury Conjunct Mars

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

SECTION II.  The SUN - Your Ego Structure

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

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

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

SUN IN PISCES

You are the most sympathetic and self-sacrificing of souls.  You have a good imagination and good receptivity to others.  You have a poetic otherworldliness which can come out in some creative or idealistic channel.  You have a deep, emotional understanding of others and a real will to serve.  You need to be careful that you aren't so suggestible that you fall into self-pitying and avoidance behavior.  Try to develop concentration and discipline without losing your easygoing demeanor. Once you are determined to reach a goal, your faith in life, the universe and yourself can give you the strength of character to renounce anything that gets in the way.

Sun in 1st house

You put your personal hallmark on everything you do.  Your energy and enthusiasm tends to inspire others.  You find it hard to take a "back seat" to any project in life if you perceive it as affecting you personally.

Sun in 1st house Afflicted

You need to guard against being too heavy-handed.  You may suffer from conveying to others a lack of sensitivity to issues in their life.  You need to be cautious to not give others the picture that you are the only one who matters to you.

SUN SEMI-SEXTILE VENUS

You have a charm, a beauty and an inclination to do good.  You need to make sure that you don't become lazy and give up striving for the good after suffering some disappointments in life.  The desire to nurture and your fascination with your own receptive qualities can put you in touch with many different types of people in life.  Learn discrimination and your life is much more pleasant.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

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

SUN SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR JUPITER

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

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

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

SUN SEMI-SQUARE YOUR URANUS

Your search for the best course of action or path of development, invokes a nervousness and erratic pattern of behavior that is difficult for others to follow.  You are directed to follow your own impulsive behavior and insights.  Your emotional life is in flux every so often. As you learn to listen to others without taking offense, you unfold your uniqueness without running into resistance from the world.

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 OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE

Overly emotional and often confused, you need grounding for your idealism to avoid difficulties regarding commitments, responsibilities, and expectations.  You have high standards and high expectations but it takes a large amount of self-work to become more than a dreamy well wisher in the parade of life. Emotional balance and genuine self knowledge come with great difficulty but are necessary prerequisite for manifesting your spiritual and creative potential.  You tend to live in a fantasy realm, full of romantic illusion.  You easily attribute to others, the latent unexpressed qualities of your own being.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You are locked in a deep inner struggle that seems like life or death to you.  This can spill over into your everyday life as violent outbursts and a quarrelsome nature.  Your will is very powerful but perhaps misdirected.  Even if you are presumptuous, defensive, and boastful, your life will change dramatically and instantaneously for the better as soon as you stop attacking others and refuse to even blame anyone else for your difficulties.  Then, you will be able to really start controlling yourself.  When this happens you will lose your desire to control others completely and forever.

SUN SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR PLUTO

You vacillate between a deep need for control of your environment and the strong desire to leave your circumstances behind and explore new horizons.  You have lots of drive and depth but your determination can fluctuate as you alter your direction and your goals.  Your powerful insights change target as your life experience grows.

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 LEO

You love life and have a deep and natural affinity for self-display. You appear as a social leader, setting the trend for those around you. You can be quite passionate and exude an air of being loyal and warm. Be sure this isn't just for the show of it. You have the capacity to present to people what they expect to see.  Make sure you are expressing your true feelings rather than just pandering to an audience.  Once in a while your pride will get you in a situation where you have overstepped your bounds. If you cannot avoid taking yourself too seriously, just apologize to all concerned, stay lighthearted and carry on; your life becomes the pure radiance it was meant to be.

Moon in 7th house

You have great interest in establishing relationships with others where there is some emotional interaction.  You tend to draw out deep emotional responses in others.  You will experience several important key relationships in a single lifetime.

Moon in 7th house Afflicted

You struggle against the instability of the relationship picture in life.  Let go of people in your life when they want to move on.  Try to remain open to people.  When you are feeling hurt or unstable you tend to close others out which makes matters worse.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR VENUS

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

MOON OPPOSITION YOUR VENUS

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

MOON IS IN 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 OPPOSITION YOUR SATURN

You are likely to restrict yourself in unrealistic and life narrowing ways.  You alternate between being lazy (thinking you can't make it anyway) and actively struggling against obstacles. You try to create a more open atmosphere than the emotionally isolating one of your childhood.  Negative expectations and self defeating thought patterns are the enemy of personal growth. Forgiving your past and learning to not overly rely on authority figures improves your life.  Life improves as your faith in life and yourself improves.

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 PISCES

Your mind is reflective to the point of being chameleon-like. Why?  Because you think with your feelings and translate thoughts into something at the core of your being.  You don't just imitate, you become.  You have an artistic and very attenuated manner of communicating.  You have an openness and can incorporate several points of view.  You often see the humor in a situation and are good at expressing it.  You adjust to changes at a profound level.  You only need to be concerned about this if you find yourself becoming confused or lazy.  This is the sign that you are repressing your own insights while accepting someone else's.  Try to gain a detached look at your own drives when this happens.

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 Unafflicted

One of your greatest assets is knowing how to correctly appraise the worth of something.  You can always use your skills in a way where circulation creates abundance.

MERCURY CONJUNCT MARS

You have an enthusiastic, incisive and energetic mind.  You are practical and compulsive.  You think quickly and draw your inferences from empirical observation.  Your life suffers at times by being too "me" oriented.  You don't give an opinion as much as assert a point of view.  You are a fighter for a cause whether or not there is a fight, or for that matter, a cause. Your mind is on fire so you often express yourself with anger. You have a natural talent for occupations involving change and physical movement.

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

MERCURY OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE

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

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

MERCURY TRINE YOUR PLUTO

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

SECTION V.  VENUS - Your Love Nature.

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

VENUS IN 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 IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

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

VENUS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

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

SECTION VI.  MARS - Your Energy.

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

MARS IN PISCES

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

Mars in 2nd house

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

Mars in 2nd house Unafflicted

You are acquisitive.  You have a knack for knowing the value of things material.  Your drive to accumulate is rewarded.  You achieve security and a solid base of operation in the physical world even though there may be some wide fluctuations in your financial picture.

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 IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

When you speak, others listen.  You stir people to rethink basic assumptions.  You need to be careful that high ideals do not become an excuse for inaction, or that theory doesn't take the place of practice.  There is a spiritual quality to your thoughts that can point to fanatic rambling and an impractical attitude toward the responsibilities of life.  Avoid drugs, alcohol and anything that can be devitalizing.  You need to constantly re-check your direction so as to ensure absolute integrity of purpose.  You are prone to expound a belligerent philosophy while harboring escapist fantasies.

MARS OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE

You feel easily frustrated as you chase your colorful visions. This occurs because you often misjudge what is possible, usually overshooting the mark.  The beautiful and far away attract your attention and can drain your energy and time.  You are capable of great accomplishments, but this requires self-reliance in all your activities in order to bring about maximum achievement.  At the same time it's important to stay open to others, so you hear their suggestions. Correctly filtered input from others is often the key to finding successful conclusions for your efforts.  An inner charm and magnetism colors your actions.

MARS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You attain many things that you aim for in life through the use of great force.  You always seem to be able to draw up that little bit of extra energy that is necessary to push your project over the top. Actually, your supply of energy is almost limitless although it is well regulated and doesn't appear ostentatiously. You are powerful but gentle by temperament and have economy of effort down to a fine art.  You can outmaneuver or out-manipulate almost anyone, but you aren't inclined to use this skill in a mean or self-aggrandizing way. You are a good organizer and a good leader.

MARS TRINE YOUR PLUTO

Your energy and stamina is truly outstanding.  You drive with a dynamic activity toward the heart of any matter or issue. Courage and ruthlessness gives a certain "Spartan" quality to your unrelenting drive.

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 LIBRA

You value everything and have great ability to see usefulness in everything and everyone.  You are genial, social and a great host because you are "in tune" with what goes on in others.  You value people.  You are just, balanced and look for sincerity and idealism as part of the higher vision of truth.  You look for opportunities with others and feel that you naturally belong in partnership.  You feel that you have something to teach others about relating as an equal. You are kind and sympathetic to others and feel that their concerns are interesting and worthy of your attention.  Your sense of justice and appropriate balance gives you a natural talent in art, mechanics, architecture, law, politics, teaching, mathematics, drama and hundreds of other fields involving proportion and symmetry.  You are a master at being able to infer the whole from seeing a small portion of an object, idea, ideal, or picture.  You see opportunity everywhere because you see potential everywhere based on your ability to extrapolate and infer.  Your higher vision of truth is constantly relating ideas to ideas, people to people, and people to ideas. This imaginative quality of yours is the source of great talent, great luck, and great vision.  When you learn to focus this talent toward a specific goal, this life becomes very productive. Without focus you still have charm and graciousness that helps you make your way in life.

Jupiter in 8th house

Your mind is instinctively led toward life's mysteries.  You take great joy in finding life's basic causes and being involved with people's primary concerns in life of food, clothing and shelter. You are attracted to the occult and to issues of sexuality and emotional expression.  You are a natural researcher and need time alone each day.

Jupiter in 8th house Unafflicted

You have a rich and meaningful personal life.  Your emotional expression is very important to you although it may be quite a private issue.  You have a good mind and heart for basic social causes.  You work well in some capacity for social change.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

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

JUPITER IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

JUPITER TRINE YOUR SATURN

You see opportunity in ways that enhance your security and places where others only see limitation. A stable foundation in life comes through correct judgment and knowing how to take intelligent risks.  You are fortunate because you have an inner guidance that leads to following well established procedures and principles unconsciously.  You deal with limits and obligations in ways that help you achieve your goals.

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 OPPOSITION YOUR URANUS

You have a wide angle perception on what life can offer.  You are destined to go through many sacrifices in order to fulfill your picture of what life can be at its best.  Your urge for freedom leads you to take bold risks even when you don't wish to.

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 AQUARIUS

You have a fear of being too self-involved.  This is the source of continuous inner prompting to move forward.  Your energy truly seems unflagging.  You are interested in society and its needs. You don't easily take the initiative to improve things.  Although you would like people's good opinion of you, you are always balancing your need for recognition against a need for approval. These two needs operating together stop you from being as innovative and creative in your goal selection as you would otherwise wish.

Saturn in 1st house

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

Saturn in 1st house Unafflicted

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

SATURN IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

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

SATURN IN ASPECT TO JUPITER

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

SATURN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

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

SATURN SEXTILE YOUR URANUS

You have good balance between the traditional and the innovative approaches to life.  You develop diplomacy and know-how which help you find new ways of accomplishing and fulfilling your obligations.

SECTION IX.  URANUS - Your Search For Freedom.

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

URANUS IN ARIES

You are independent.  Your will is strong and you don't accept restrictions easily.  You believe in yourself deeply and are unconcerned by your sudden changes in direction.  You get flashes of insight that you have difficulty sustaining.

Uranus in 2nd house

Your income fluctuates and you are apt to hit extremes a few times during your life.  You will have at least two separate sources of income.  Money and assets represent freedom to you.

Uranus in 2nd house Unafflicted

You are ingenious at finding solutions to emergency situations that come up.  You are able to tap deep, unconscious resources that are in touch with the universe but cut against the grain of convention. The consequence of this is that you frequently have at least two productive sources of income.

URANUS IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

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

URANUS IN ASPECT TO JUPITER

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

URANUS IN ASPECT TO SATURN

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

URANUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

Your idealism is lopsided and tends to be at odds with the society you live in and the direction of your culture.  This doesn't make your ideals wrong, just impractical.  You are prone to nervous fits and disturbed periods where it is difficult to accomplish much and difficult to relax.  Somehow you seem to express your society's dissatisfaction with itself.  Your life betters through the study of meditation, biofeedback, yoga, and/or grounding or centering activities.

URANUS SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your ideals and vision of the possible have a way of getting you over extended and into trouble.  You experience greatest happiness when you are able to accept that your ideals are going to be out in front of you regardless of how much you accomplish.

URANUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You provoke violent responses in others.  There is a fanatical side to your idealism and you are often involved in revolutionary projects that seem simply destructive for no good reason.  You see yourself as some kind of intellectual pioneer but you don't help the world much until you recognize that ends and means are the same.  Violence begets violence and love breeds love.  The ends you achieve in life are the exact by-product of the means used for getting to them.  Good and humanitarian ideas can only be of real help in life when they are implemented with love and respect for life.

URANUS SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

You are destined to experience great changes in your life.  You are prompted to try new and innovative techniques in all areas of your life.  This is not comfortable for you, but, you eventually learn to live with uncertainty.  You are happiest when you embrace the future, and avoid letting the past dictate your actions.

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 VIRGO

You believe in a better world through technology and scientific innovation.  You can be quite analytic.  The practical concerns of life are more stimulating than the purely theoretical and speculative. You are utility minded and hold on to the ideal of service as a way to improve life.

Neptune in 7th house

Other people represent a higher ideal.  You are prone to do a good deal of projecting in relationships until you find the ideals in yourself that you see in others.

Neptune in 7th house Afflicted

Your motive for entering relationships may be pity or self-pity. You need to expect more from yourself and less from others.  You struggle to see the person you are with as they really are.  You tend to see them only as you would like them to be, and then feel tremendously hurt when they don't live up to your ideal.

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 MERCURY

You have an aspect of Neptune to your Mercury showing a deep vision of the truth and some psychic awareness.  This perception of yours is discussed in some detail in Section IV.  Mercury -Your Mental Life.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO MARS

You have Neptune in aspect with your Mars.  This shows that you are idealistic and have a magnetic personality.  How this works out in your life is described in Section VI.  Mars - Your Energy.

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.

SECTION XI.  PLUTO - Your Need For Fundamental Change.

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

PLUTO IN CANCER

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

Pluto in 6th house

You are an intense and very private worker.  You take your given tasks in life very seriously.  Work is more important to you than play and you can become obsessive when you are looking for a solution to a problem.

Pluto in 6th house Unafflicted

You have a deep look into the depth of other people's unconscious.  You affect others in a very deep way.  You need to be conscious of the effect you have on others so you can use your abilities intelligently. You have the power to heal or hurt depending on the tone and character of your interactions.

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 MERCURY

You have an aspect of Pluto to Mercury.  This indicates that you have a profound mental life.  This is detailed out in Section IV. Mercury - Your Mental Life.

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO MARS

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO JUPITER

You have an aspect of Pluto to Jupiter showing that you have a deep connection with the abundance of the earth.  How this works out is taken up in Section VII.  Jupiter - Your Values.

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO URANUS

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

SECTION XII.  SUMMATION.

     A.  YOUR UNIQUENESS

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

YOUR MAJOR PLANETARY ASPECT IS A QUINCUNX.

You are idealistic and sensitive.  You are most productive and happy when you are finding beauty in simplicity.  You try to manifest some high vision of your truth in the world so that others can see it and appreciate it.  This causes confusion and misunderstanding until you learn how to see the world through other people's eyes and can be empathetic and still maintain your own inner equilibrium.  Your keyword is Compassion.

     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.

Sun in the First House.

Your ability to place everything that happens into the context of the immediate moment helps you put life into perspective and consequently gives you more vitality.  You develop a sense of identity and purpose by acting directly on your deepest feelings.

Saturn in Aquarius.

You have a sense of what needs to be done and stay in constant motion. You have a steady determination that will bring you success. Discipline is easier for you than most. A balance between your drive for accomplishment and your wish for other peoples approval practically guarantees a modicum of success.

     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 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 Moon

You have routines in your life that operate as if on remote control. These unconscious habits bring you a harvest that is out of tune with your conscious aim in life.  Before you act, be thorough in your projection of what you can meaningfully expect from your actions.  You will learn in this manner and be able to bring about more positive results from your efforts.

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 Neptune

You seem at odds with the culture you are in.  You are idealistic but your ideals are unsympathetic to the social direction of the moment. You can be a visionary and a real helper to the world but you must harness your values in a positive and realistic way in order to be of use to the world or even to enjoy your personal life.  Your prospects in life improve when you are able to direct your ideals and values inwardly toward your own life in a joyful and practical way.  You will affect the world positively when you effectively change your own life.

Mercury in Pisces

You are a dreamer and suffer because your perceptions are so subjective.  You think with your feelings.  This attribute is wonderful if you are content to live your life without analytic skills.  If you wish to study subjects that require focus on detail then you will need practice at separating facts from feelings and preferences.  When this is accomplished, your natural brilliance for large scale thinking emerges.  You have a gentle mind.

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.

Mars in the Second House

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

Saturn in the First House

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

Uranus in the Second House

The need to express your uniqueness through the power of accumulation stops you from having consistent progress in either the material world or in your more universal cultural pursuits. The way out of frustration is to set up a rhythm in life of switching focus naturally and gracefully every-so-often.

Neptune in Virgo

When the manifestation of your ideals is blocked, you interpret the situation as a problem of either inadequacy of technique or as lack of pertinent details.  The truth of the matter is that you need to expand your faith in the power of your ideals and values.  Don't fear change and correction and your aim in life will naturally be raised.

Pluto in the Sixth House

You are very, very insightful into what isn't working in someone else's life.  It takes a deep and probing courage into your own habits for you to really see that the world only becomes a better place if you become a better person.  You are fully capable of achieving this if you truly see its importance.

     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.

Sun Semi-Sextile Venus

The quest for beauty can lead you away from a path of personal development.  This is because the object of your search in life seems to you to be substantially different from what you find as your own inner resource.  Through self observation you come to realize that it is the beauty in you that perceives the beauty in the world.  True progress for you can be won through achieving a balance between your own inner drives and what you see in other people that you judge as significantly different from what you find in yourself.

Moon in Growth Aspect to Mercury

You have an opportunity to learn about your feelings by discussing them with others.  Further, as you get used to expressing your emotions more directly and spontaneously you develop better forms of articulation. This, in turn, allows you deeper access to your feelings.

Moon Quincunx Mercury

You end up confused at times because you read more into communications than are there.  It's good to be able to read between the lines - just make sure you are also reading what is on the lines.  Your expectations and imagination are assets as soon as you are able to develop a method for expressing your true feelings.  Since many of your feelings are hidden from you, self expression becomes a path of self discovery.

Moon in Growth Aspect to Mars

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

Moon Quincunx Mars

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

Mercury in Growth Aspect to Jupiter

Learning to express the truth of any situation without exaggeration or self hyperbole is a long lesson.  Consistent refocusing on the higher implications of life, the moral and ethical significance of actions, has a refining effect on your mind.

Mercury Quincunx Jupiter

Exaggeration is second nature to you.  Whatever you focus on tends to grow in your mind without anything happening in the external world. Circumstances in life can easily seem much better or much worse than they really are.  Learn to trust other people's assessment and to judge life more on the concrete facts and less on moral pronouncements which tend to be very colored by self justification and avoidance.

Mercury in Growth Aspect to Saturn

You worry about things that can't affect you and that don't matter.  If you are patient and use time correctly life improves. You will need to study your mental habits to see how you limit your options unnecessarily.  Slow progress is vastly different than no progress. Your growth in life gains speed when you are able to separate real limits from your fears.

Mercury Semi-Sextile Saturn

Little things that go wrong can upset your inner equilibrium. You have to work harder than most to get the truly important details of your work and projects in central focus.  You are easily led into dealing with less than significant areas of life which take time away from your major concerns.  Honesty, calmness and trial and error searching puts you on the right track.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Neptune

Can you create what you see?  Discipline and practice are necessary in order to share your vision of the higher beauty with others.  Further, openness to others' perception of love is an important part of being able to share your own vision.  Happiness comes through being resilient in the face of disappointment and frustration.  Faith in the truthfulness of your own higher vision is necessary in order to have the patience and persistence to raise your love to an adult level.

Venus Quincunx Neptune

You are suffering at times because you are attracted to inaccurate perceptions of others.  This is based on incorrect appraisals of who you are and where you are going.  You approach the unachievable with naive confidence, then get confused when you aren't able to be complete with your various projects.  This creates an environment where others find you unapproachable and difficult to know.  As you show genuine self-acceptance (including your limitations) your range of love expression increases.

Mars in Growth Aspect to Jupiter

Energy is put out in ways that lead you away from your goals. Getting the two correctly aligned means facing that your desires express themselves in a way that doesn't directly support your goals. Overconfidence can lead you on many energy expending adventures that run you in intertwining circles and bring you back to go.  Development and growth occur when you get honest as to your intentions.

Mars Quincunx Jupiter

Taking care of others can be a way of putting them down.  You need to recognize your own competitive instincts for what they are rather than masking them in the idea of service to others. Evaluate any projects before you get involved.  Your great energy and humanitarian spirit can get linked to other people's unrealistic expectations in a way that leaves you drained and unappreciated.  If you are able to evaluate your everyday habits in a positive way, you will see whether or not they really support your long term goals.

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.

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 Quincunx Pluto

Your perfectionist tendencies can serve you well once you come to terms with the way the world is.  You either see the world as being basically incorrect in some aspect, or, you think you understand the world and develop a deep cynicism as you see the suffering and difficulties present in the culture.  In either case, you need to develop a good system for differentiating yourself from the world, recognizing that your perceptions of the world are really a prescription of what you need in order to make your life work better.  When you are able to use your deep discriminating vision as a technique for improving situations without having a judgment or an emotional reaction, you have arrived at the highest use of this talent of yours.

     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.

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 Neptune

You possess immediate intuition of situations that you are in. The correct phase of expression can pop into your awareness in an instant. This can produce spiritual insight in the long run in your life.

Sun Contra-Parallel Uranus

An underlying nervousness can lend energy to your propensity to explode at people who oppose you or your ideas.  You have an original and unusual vision of how your life can be.  Freedom comes to you in "fits and starts" but it remains a driving core motivation no matter what you do.  Learn to release tension without picking arguments or reacting to others and your personal growth is assured.

Sun Contra-Parallel Neptune

You have a deep sense for the dimension of life that is beyond reason, inspection, or rational judgment.  The mystical side of your nature can lead to believing in people when they don't merit it.  Your misunderstanding of others can be complicated by your need to retreat or escape from uncomfortable situations.  You are at your best when idealism and faith are balanced by positive action toward building something that you believe in.

Jupiter Contra-Parallel Neptune

You have a genuine creative vision which can translate into genius if you are able to energize the poetical and mystical side of your nature while staying grounded in a productive mode. Your vivid and over-stimulated picture of the higher principles of the universe can lead to escapist tendencies but give a positive if misty picture of life.

     F.  YOUR KARMIC DIRECTION

The Moon's North Node is an all encompassing and instructive point of synthesis in the chart; we could easily start or end our analysis with this one single factor.  Because this indicator is so all inclusive it most shows your karmic direction in life. The sign placement of your North node points to your destiny. When your actions, interests, and values are structured by this position, your general sense of personal well being improves. 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 Aquarius

Learn to work in and with groups.  Avoid being trapped by the past. New methods often bring progress.  Friendships and light interactions with people help you develop detachment; this in turn helps you with other projects in life.  Pride is a stumbling block, stopping you from expressing your humanitarian spirit. With practice, as democratic procedures become part of your makeup, the more toxic aspects of pure egoism give way to new patterns of interaction.

Don't let other people's expectations of you force you into a life-style that you find uninspiring.  Be yourself.  Go for your own approval first and all your relationships will improve as well as having your perspective in life rise.  Your expectations of yourself and life color your circumstances mightily.
