SECTION I. The Structure and Intent of Your Life.

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

A. Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis

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

1. Hemisphere

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

Most Planets Above the Horizon

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

Most Planets Setting

You have the majority of your planets on the western half (or right-hand side) of your chart. Your natural tendency is to seek others' approval and to question the probable outcome of an action before putting your first efforts forward.

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 Third Quadrant

You have the majority of your planets in the third quadrant. You desire to relate and will seek out experiences that bring you in contact with people and increase your scope of information of others. This is your primary motivation in all activities. You want physical, emotional, or intellectual contact with others. This is your primary vehicle of personal development.

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 a lot of fire in your chart. Fire is the element of energy, enthusiasm, and immediate and spontaneous focus on the self. You go from event to event selecting projects that give the full range of outlet for your energy. This process of selection is precognitive, instantaneous and automatic. People respond to the inspirational spark in you and your enthusiasm and boundless exuberance is evident whenever you are being your real self.

Earth

You have no earth in your chart. This means that the material world and its difficulties are not much of a focus for you. The resources in your life come and go without giving you a great deal of concern. You can always locate money or its equivalent when you are truly interested.

Air

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

Water

You have 20% of your chart in the water element. You work hard during this life to develop your emotions. You have lots of opportunity to work on your feelings. Your sense of emotional inadequacy drives you to express your feelings more. The outward appearance of caring substitutes for real concern while you are young; true empathy develops later in life.

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 only 10% of your chart in the cardinal mode. Neptune is your only cardinal planet. Your spiritual aspirations and ideals empower you to act. Only when something you believe in is at stake are you apt to take a position of leadership. This striking out in a new direction is momentary as you prefer to either let others lead or follow well-trod familiar paths.

Fixed

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

Mutable

You have 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.

Mercury Square the Ascendant

You like people and ideas but your manner of expression can put others off or create misunderstanding. Tolerance of other people's point of view is the beginning of having others understand you better. You express your opinions with so much force that others take issue with your ideas. You learn from argument and disagreement. But remember, a good idea that is expressed in a confrontational manner may not get a fair hearing. Understatement is usually more helpful than overstatement. Diplomacy begins by listening to others.

Jupiter Sextile the Ascendant

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

2. The Midheaven

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

SCORPIO MIDHEAVEN

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

Sun Applying Conjunction to Midheaven and afflicted.

You demand a position of authority and this will bring opportunities to rise in life. However, your reach often exceeds your grasp and this gets you into trouble. People can follow your lead because of the strength of your personality. You are not always able to deliver on your promises or inferences. This causes your path in life to have severe ups and downs. Your rise becomes more stable when you avoid taking on any honor that you don't inwardly feel is yours to have.

Mars Square Midheaven

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

Saturn 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 Square Midheaven

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

D. The Conjunctions.

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

Venus Conjunct Jupiter

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

Mars Conjunct Saturn

Think of Sections VI. MARS - Your energy, and VIII. SATURN - Your obligations, as operating together. This Conjunction shows your exacting nature and your desire for focus in life. This is a central theme upon which you will build many variations.

Mars Conjunct Pluto

Think of Sections VI. MARS - Your energy, and XI. PLUTO - Your need for fundamental change, as a single unit. Anything that effects one area of your personality effects the other. Your drives and motivations in life fluctuate between extremes. This Conjunction represents a very central focus of your life.

Saturn Conjunct Pluto

Think of Sections VIII. SATURN - Your obligations, and XI. PLUTO - Your need for fundamental change, as a single unit. These two areas affect each other mightily and show a composite foundation of serious intent present in your personality. This Conjunction represents a necessary focus 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 SCORPIO

Control is the main ingredient in life for you. You are strong-willed, thorough, passionate and powerful. You are courageous and completely willing to go it alone when necessary. You tend to have a rather serious outlook on life, always probing, looking for the depths. Your life becomes more meaningful when you learn to be truly forgiving, when you control your sexual nature without repressing it. Strive to overcome envy, jealousy and possessiveness. Your intense, all or nothing attitude is very useful under some circumstances but all of life is not a battlefield. You turn that force to a high channel at some time in life and the search for meaning becomes a spiritual quest.

Sun in 10th house

You are achievement oriented. You have a natural expectation that positions of power, authority and responsibility should come to you. You receive help in your climb in life from people further up the hill. You will be well known in your immediate circle and that may transport out to a larger world picture.

Sun in 10th house Afflicted

Your reach is usually beyond your grasp. You achieve and then tumble. Avoid shortcuts and "backroom deals" that won't work when they become public. What you do tends to become visible, so you need to stay within public taste.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

You are energetic and brave but sometimes too impulsive or rash. You hurt yourself and others at times through outbursts of temper. You can back a losing cause at times, throwing good energy after bad. You do this because you view your goals through a desire-incrusted lens which distorts your vision or because you mis-evaluate your own power, or both. You can guard against this tendency by learning to draw conclusions from all of life rather than just your own immediate wants. You are naturally powerful but need to guard against the tendency to run over others.

SUN SQUARE YOUR MARS

You are full of energy and passion. Your intensity and power color everything that you do. Planning and focus are very important because your goals switch and your desires are always changing. When you are angry, thoughts of revenge and general hate or avarice drag you into a pattern of destruction. Your energy stays productive when you acknowledge, then harness your desires.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

SUN SQUARE YOUR SATURN

You are a loner by nature. You can be disciplined but your seriousness and reserve can easily turn into depression. You are most successful when you put the past, with its hurts and disappointments, behind you. Your skills, drives, and instincts work toward your advantage when you overcome negative expectations.

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 SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

Growth in the area of self control is fast when you learn compromise. You are difficult to understand, even for those close to you. You have amazing self-control, but pressure builds up until you experience a deep earth shattering explosion. This eruption is always a by-product of unrelenting continuous inner tension. In turn, this tension is created not by happenings or circumstances in your life, but, by your interpretation of events. Negative, primitive, even backward emotions (as well as higher understanding) emerge out of what things symbolize to you, not what they actually are. You are your own worst enemy and guilt can do you in. Correct use of the past creates a balance in your future. Resolving deep underlying personal conflicts (that make every issue seem like life and death decisions) frees up tremendous energy.


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 SAGITTARIUS

You see yourself as a person of real consequence. Your imagination is thrust into action with very little prompting. You are warm and have fun-loving relationships for the most part, but you are very independent. You like to explore, travel, learn and disseminate knowledge. You are an honorable person who is having a life of developing a higher intuition through the gathering of experience.

Moon in 11th house

You are popular and although people often pass through your life, you are seldom absolutely alone. On this same theme you are apt to have several children. You have an easy time making new social contacts; thus, you are known to many people.

Moon in 11th house Unafflicted

Friendships are powerful and wholesome. You develop a more emotionally satisfying income from your career as you get older. You instinctively seem to know what your time is worth, and are good at balancing a lot of people and details off against one another.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

You are an ardent lover and an enthusiastic lover of life. You are brave and prepared to fight for a point of view. Your self-assertiveness and assertion can thrust you into a position of emotional leadership. You are a builder and a doer.

MOON TRINE YOUR MARS

Strong, driving passions move you toward your goals. You have very directed habits leading you forward in life. Your emotions are so focused toward what you want that you let personal happiness depend on accomplishment.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

MOON TRINE YOUR SATURN

You do what seems right to you regardless of what others think. But what others think gets factored into your overall reality assessment which in turn determines what you do. You are accomplished, dutiful and disciplined in your daily habits. This leads to self-sacrifice without any great fanfare. You are talented but self-satisfied and content which keeps you aiming at the center of the road. This conservatism protects you from extremes of action so you may not accomplish much but you are always sufficiently productive to get rewarded for your efforts.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You get great ideas but have a tendency to act on a subject with brilliant insight and partial knowledge. The accuracy of your specific perceptions successfully insulates you from needed correction by others. When you become mentally defensive you fall into a pattern of emotional instability; that encourages you to promote less than your best ideas merely to be different. You can fall into a negative spiral of being a social outcast and an iconoclast. This is avoidable through finding the part of yourself that is genuinely interested in the welfare of humanity. As you get older, your emotional life becomes more stable as a direct result of (and in direct proportion to) your ability to express empathy for people in your daily life. Big abstractions have to be practiced to have meaning.

MOON OPPOSITION YOUR URANUS

You are locked into a pattern of emotional turmoil; it is easy to blame others and to feel victimized by others' erratic behavior, selfishness, or irresponsibility. A bigger picture of yourself and life stabilizes your habits and makes life more fun. Self acceptance is the key.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

MOON SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR PLUTO

Rapid changes in your habits can help you get out of a difficult situation at the last minute. Emotionally, you fight a "rear guard" action trying to cover past mistakes through correct action in the present moment. As you understand the past your emotional responses to the present become better.


SECTION IV. MERCURY - Your Mental Life.

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

MERCURY IN SCORPIO

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

Mercury in 9th house

You have an interest in travel that comes from a desire to expand your understanding of life. Adventure and change are always ingredients of your life. You are forever searching out new avenues of understanding, as you have a persistent drive to find the truth. You are most successful in life when you learn to harness your enthusiasm for expansion with consistent effort.

Mercury in 9th house Unafflicted

You are an inspiration to others. You are good at finding the "quick fix" because your mind looks at the big picture and sees many options. You are blessed with a genuine thirst for knowledge. You are not just interested in the content of information, but also in its effect on people.


SECTION V. VENUS - Your Love Nature.

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

VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS

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

Venus in 10th house

You are well thought of in society, generally. Your career may involve the arts, women, or the gentle side of experience. You are good at being able to cut a deal and get fringe benefits. You are a good negotiator.

Venus in 10th house Unafflicted

Many people help you to develop and grow. Your position in life seems to improve just in the living. You are given many lucky breaks and chances. You are in some sense a symbol for other people. They project onto you and live some aspect of their nature through you. You need to honor this help from others by doing your best when given a chance, and contributing directly to the betterment of others less fortunate than you.

VENUS CONJUNCT JUPITER

You have an inherent belief that the good in life is coming to you and generally it does. You are religious by nature and idealistic in your outlook. You have lavish taste and will spend freely on a good time or on your friends. Social occasions seem to sprout from your normal activities. Even routine happenings have a way of becoming events.

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

Musical and artistic talent are part of your nature and personality. This same artistic eye and ear on life can give you a trusting and gentle disposition. You believe in people and are deeply hurt when they don't live up to your lofty expectations. You admire and are attracted to the dramatic in relationships because of their ability to promote a value. You want the world to be better than it is so you do what you can to reinforce that which you see as good.

VENUS SEXTILE YOUR NEPTUNE

A romantic lover, you have a naturally beautiful heart quality that moves you toward a higher ideal in yourself through relationships. The love in you creates harmony and your artistic skills and aesthetic appreciation emerge out of your heart of hearts. You have emotional textures and a gentleness that others usually only recognize when you create something of beauty, but, the subtle eye observes your refined sensitivity to the beautiful that reveals itself every time you speak or move. You have good taste and others recognize the balance and harmony of your selection.

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

VENUS TRINE YOUR PLUTO

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


SECTION VI. MARS - Your Energy.

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

MARS IN LEO

You have a desire for leadership. Your energy is totally committed to whatever your impulsive nature leads you toward. You are benevolent and your method of getting what you want is to approach it as if you already had it. You are ostentatious, loyal and authoritative. You have a command of the field but you would benefit from being more in touch with the details of any project.

Mars in 7th house

You are assertive in relationships and often bring out the most aggressive side of people that you interact with. This adversarial attitude can run the gambit from healthy competition to open warfare.

Mars in 7th house Unafflicted

Your ability to immerse yourself in someone else's life and issues while keeping your own life "tabled" is a virtue. You can be an excellent team player.

MARS IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have an aspect of Mars to the Sun. This shows that you have a very strong and direct nature. Your energy and vitality are key ingredients to your self concept. This issue is taken up in some detail in the Section II. The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

MARS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

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

MARS CONJUNCT SATURN

You hold yourself back in life and though you are kind and very patient with others, your timing is poor and it stops you from getting what you think you want in life. You are always trying to reform your desires and when you assert a want, a fear surfaces simultaneously. You give up many times, just when the world would have given you what you were asking for. You will think about a project and start it one minute too late to accomplish it. The difficulty with this aspect of your character is very slow to change. When it does change it is because you overcome your fears and your unbalancing desires. To the degree that this is accomplished you will achieve security in life. You should get strenuous physical exercise at least three times a week in order to have your energy work evenly and to be in good health.

MARS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You have good mechanical skill and interest in finding new and unique ways of accomplishing your goals. You are impatient with the way things are and strive for instantaneous change. Your inventiveness makes you a good troubleshooter as well as skills at streamlining a process. You love finding the quick path through a project and are willing to take the initiative in life. Remember, less hearty souls don't travel as fast as you nor do they have your love of speed.

MARS SEXTILE YOUR URANUS

Quick release of energy finds you leapfrogging to success. You are good at skipping intermediate steps and getting to the goal with the greatest economy of effort.

MARS CONJUNCT PLUTO

You have power plus. Wherever your energy is directed your life will go. There is a fascination with the deeper aspects of life and a definite pull to any position of control or power. Unfortunately, there is such a thing as too much energy. You can burn out, and have no energy for a while. You need to learn to regulate your use of force and enthusiasm. Sometimes force is unnecessary. After all, you don't need a gun in order to withdraw money from your own bank account. The positive side of this quality is that you can fight hard and long for something that you believe in. You literally will not take "no" for an answer. The negative side of this quality is that you are apt to develop a complex that operates as an independent variable within the personality but outside the normal constraints of the conscious ego structure. This can give you perplexing drives and desires that you feel compelled to put into operation and yet you don't understand. Long periods of self-discovery and conscious work may be necessary to corral this energy.


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 SAGITTARIUS

You are motivated by higher ideals than the material world. You are philosophical, inspirational, forward-looking and exceedingly tolerant. You are generous to the point of extravagance. You believe in yourself and life and consequently life believes in you. There is a lighthearted side of your nature that is forever liberated. Your values and aims in life are lofty and require you to set a very high personal standard. Living up to this standard gives you optimism and growth. Unless you are very well integrated (where your actions and values always agree) you will shuttle between two courses of action, the higher representing the real you, and the lower symbolizing your past. You are prone to a duplicity; your ideals are persevered in a higher abstract realm while less lofty characteristics determine the course of events in your life. When your ideals are too spiritual or too religious for your life pathway at the moment, you can be prone toward hypocrisy. If this is the case, you will engage in compensatory actions to acknowledge the freedom side of your nature. You may overspend or waste energy in purely symbolic actions that point toward an ideal. These actions don't move you forward much but also don't damage you much. You have a love of freedom that carries you far in your mind and on the surface of the earth.

Jupiter in 10th house

You are often helped in your climb in life, by people higher up in the company or system you are involved with. You naturally tend to excel in any career. You believe in your ability and administrative skills and this faith in yourself alone is responsible for securing some position of authority.

Jupiter in 10th house Unafflicted

You like the challenges of life and find the climbing exhilarating. Others respond to your good ideas and your enthusiasm. You are always looking for ways to expand your sphere of influence. Your search is often rewarded.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO VENUS

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


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 LEO

You are motivated by a fear of just being another person. You defend yourself when attacked with very dramatic and hyperbolic idioms. Avoid overreaction. You are striving to develop genuine heart qualities of warmth, sympathy and understanding. You are somebody, accept it, then don't take yourself so seriously. Develop a sense of humor.

Saturn in 7th house

You look to relationships to bring you stability. You may marry someone older than you who represents security or someone who needs help where you can serve them. Your need to help others can be at least partially fulfilled through an intelligent career plan.

Saturn in 7th house Unafflicted

You have very faithful partners. You look to build toward a secure future with others. You may feel others don't hear you or are ignoring you. Patience and persistence bring results.

SATURN IN ASPECT THE SUN

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

SATURN IN ASPECT TO 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 MARS

You have Saturn in aspect to Mars showing a desire to build strong foundations in your life. This aspect of your nature is taken up in Section VI. Mars - Your Energy.

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.

SATURN CONJUNCT PLUTO

Deep secret fears and hidden anxieties prevent your life from becoming as successful and outgoing as you would like it to be. You have a special temperament for the study of history and anthropology. A study of the past can release you from present fears. Hard work brings recognition and success.


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 GEMINI

You have powerful ideas that may or may not be practical. You are spontaneous and excitable, ready to move with a new idea. You may be unsettled or even annoyed by activity around you.

Uranus in 5th house

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

Uranus in 5th house Unafflicted

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

URANUS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have Uranus in aspect to the Moon. This indicates that you have an emotional pattern that expresses your uniqueness. This is explained in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life.

URANUS IN ASPECT TO MARS

You have Mars in aspect to Uranus which means you are attempting to raise the vibration of your desire nature during the course of this life. Exactly how that works out in the day to day world is shown by Section VI. Mars - Your Energy.

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.


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 LIBRA

You have a powerful desire to create harmony because you believe that by doing so you reduce the pressure on people and create the circumstances of justice, peace, and understanding. You see humanitarian ideals not just as correct, but aesthetically pleasing.

Neptune in 8th house

You have some interest in large-scale social institutions, insurance and government agencies. You are very sensitive and if you are able to use this quality in a positive way you will get involved in digging down to the foundations of culture. This may express itself as an interest in some aspect of the past.

Neptune in 8th house Unafflicted

You are a good and thoughtful investor, taking other people's needs into consideration. You are also a good investigator and will perhaps have some interest in the occult. You can be so sensitive to others that there can be some confusion as to what belongs to them and what belongs to you. Some time alone to meditate can be an important part of each day.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO VENUS

You have Neptune in aspect to Venus. This indicates that you are very artistic by inclination and idealistic in love. This pattern is described in Section V. Venus - Your Love Nature.

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 LEO

At best, you believe in yourself and are willing to stand on your own. You have a need for self expression. At worst, you are completely stuck on yourself, and have a strong desire to bend everyone else to your will.

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 THE MOON

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO NEPTUNE

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


SECTION XII. SUMMATION.

A. YOUR UNIQUENESS

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

YOUR MAJOR PLANETARY ASPECT IS A SQUARE.

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

B. YOUR EASIEST AREAS.

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

Well-Aspected Venus.

You have natural instincts for how to deal with people. Diplomacy is your way of moving forward in life. Focusing on the important issues between you and your loved ones usually makes meaningful compromises possible. When you concentrate on your first priorities and assert the gentler side of your nature, your life improves.

Well-Aspected Neptune.

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

Jupiter in Sagittarius.

Your instinctive judgment of what is important in life has you moving in the right direction in the most general terms. Your life betters through the study of philosophy, religion, faraway places and ideas, as well as the spiritual path.

Saturn in the Seventh House.

You work out a sense of purpose through your relationships. You have a golden opportunity to remove obstacles to growth in your personality directly by working on the key relationships in your life.

C. YOUR MOST PERSISTENT DIFFICULTIES.

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

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.

Mercury in the Ninth House

Bend your perceptions toward the big picture without leaving the day-to-day details undone. You can be visionary if you avoid the grandiose.

Mars in the Seventh House

You have difficulty with relationships because you become too "bossy". Be less concerned with what others do and practice being more of a self-starter. Be aware of how you affect others and your energy will function better.

Jupiter in the Tenth House

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

Saturn in Leo

Self-doubt and fear of others propels you into self-defeating forms of personal defense. This form of protectionism makes it hard for others to see your better side. By becoming more loving and more open, your dramatic inclinations help you build bridges rather than barriers between you and others.

Uranus in the Fifth House

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

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 in Growth Aspect to Uranus

Your path of growth leads you to acquire more self expression. Your willfulness comes to the forefront of your personality every so often, then overtakes you. This quality of spontaneous assertion takes time to see, moderate, then harmonize with other ingredients in your personality. You wish to express your uniqueness, but opportunities to assert your individuality systematically and wholesomely occur infrequently. Slowly and with great effort, you develop a skill and rhythm to deal with this circumstance.

Sun Quincunx Uranus

Your self expressive urges are usually misunderstood by people and this creates frustrations for you. As you disconnect from the need to be understood and get more in contact with the will to achieve positive results from your actions, your true self emerges from the core of your personality. You grow by learning to leave well enough alone.

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 Semi-Sextile Jupiter

You often see more than you can materialize. Your first response to this situation is to try to develop more effective procedures. You keep refining your tools and performing your tasks ever more efficiently, but the real lesson here is you need to go on. Don't be satisfied with being a "big fish in a little pond". Growth comes by being willing to put yourself into a bigger arena. This should not have to be a jump of blind faith, but instead, change and growth to a bigger community should be a clear and natural transition.

E. THE DECLINATIONS

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

Sun Parallel Ascendant

You possess a certain vibrancy that others find attractive. You like to put your whole heart into whatever you do. In the long run your winning attitude and positive approach to life brings you prominence, by endurance if nothing else.

Sun Parallel Midheaven

A certain sparkle comes from you when you are in a position of authority. You are drawn toward circumstances that increase your responsibility. As long as you are aware that you attract obligations in the process of moving upward in social status, the amount of public visibility you receive is by conscious design. This gives you a feeling of control and choice.

Mars Parallel Saturn

A deep sense of how to serve colors your manner of self assertion. You can endure all kinds of hardships and keep on moving toward your goals in life without ever sacrificing your security. Physical exercise and movement can be a mechanism to regulate the underlying "on again, off again" emotions which you possess but don't often express.

Uranus Parallel Pluto

Your basic conflicting urges from deep within your being will rush forward every so often, causing you to make dramatic changes in your life. As you get used to letting the need for uniqueness come forward and express itself, this aspect of your nature stops being so explosive and just becomes part of the inventiveness that makes you so fascinating.

Sun Contra-Parallel North Node of the Moon

Hidden compulsions from the past and a need to feel your own sense of being can make you more difficult to be with. Learn to surrender your strong urge to have things your way as a condition of group participation and your life gets easier.

Venus Contra-Parallel Uranus

The powerful feeling of needing to express beauty and love is so strong that it will periodically have to emerge in your personality. The drive for romantic interludes is also a powerful motivator. This may lead you to spontaneous relationships of short duration or to have abrupt changes in your feelings with long-standing relationships.

Venus Contra-Parallel Pluto

You have a strong subterranean sex drive that is the background of the way romantic relationships are carried on. The desire to transform yourself through relationships is so strong that it can lead you to experiment against the grain of other factors in your personality.

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 Taurus

Practical concerns and involvement with material progress betters your self-esteem which in turn betters your life. Concentrate on simple basic principles and patiently accumulate security. Your foundations in life tend to be ignored as your energy is absorbed in overly personal projects. Let the passions of your heart and mind give way to a more matter of fact, simple, detached, and stable pattern of action; be less reactive, more patient and self satisfied.

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

Comfort and security in your personal life and learning to nurture others is the way that life betters for you. Personal security is more important to you in the long run than power, position or achievement. When your extreme emotions are engaged, you can take on responsibilities that are not yours, and suffer from being chronically over extended. This can lead to lopsided personality development that makes trusting and believing in others quite difficult. Contentment is easy to find if you do not build beyond your foundations. Take care of your own affairs before attempting to help others.
