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

Earth

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

Fixed

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 20% of your chart in the mutable mode. Your natural preference is to act or stay put when a circumstance of significance arises in your life.  When important ingredients in your life are beyond your control you are capable of making deep and meaningful adjustments even though this is not your first choice.

     C.  The Ascendant and Midheaven (Signs and Aspects)

          1.  The Ascendant

The ascendant is symbolic of our relationship to our immediate environment.  This is the point rising in the east when we are born. One manifestation of our immediate environment is our physical body. The physical environment includes our body, our surroundings and our emotional and mental states.  Thus, the ascendant tells us how our inner core expresses itself, and how we take in information from others and the universe generally. The sign rising in your horoscope tells us the type of energy you are processing, the type of physical body that you have for doing the processing and the natural inclinations you have in the personal arena in life.  The planets in aspect to your ascendant tell us the kind of energy and stamina you have as natural allies in life.  The ascendant is opposite the seventh house cusp (the place where we meet others and the world).  This axis (ascendant-descendant) is how we clarify ourselves through relationships. Planets in aspect to this axis indicate the types of people and the types of relationships we seek as well as how and why we seek them.

                              TAURUS RISING

You have a strong countenance. People are consistently amazed at how tenacious you can be. You are completely undistractable once you start on a course of action.  This persistence can be an asset or a debility depending on how open you are to correction and how honest you are with yourself as to what is and isn't working.  There is a conservative core in you that seeks a direction of meaning in life without ever sacrificing base line security.  The ability to ignore things in life that do not fit your picture can help you accomplish material and emotional stability and security but there is a difficulty. Because you ignore things that don't fit your picture in life you end up having people communicate with you in covert ways.  You, in turn, learn this talent early in life and become less than direct in your own communications.  Periodically, the undigested and unrecognized material going on between you and others surfaces. When this happens your life may be in chaos while you adjust to the new information. Luckily, this readjustment only happens every so often.

Sun Sextile the Ascendant

You are very creative and instill a sense of confidence in those around you.  This gives you luck with people and you usually accomplish your goals.  Your skills with people create opportunities for you to learn about yourself and about life. This is your formula for success.  Your self acceptance and positive mindset unconsciously expresses itself to people conveying a feeling of confidence and competency.  Your natural good feeling for your self allows you to put your positive attributes together in one place and express them.

Moon Square the Ascendant

You express your feelings in a way that can lead to misunderstandings and arguments.  Some of the misunderstanding comes from communication difficulties and some of it comes from being at odds with others emotionally.  Your personal life can improve when you make allowances for emotional differences between people in your community of family, friends, and lovers. You make your mark on the public consciousness, but your conflict between what you are doing and what you think you are doing stops this from being consistently positive.  You have conflicting needs.  In order to move forward, you must be free to act, unencumbered by other people's judgments. You need to be connected to the thinking of those around you in order to see accurately where you are going.  This conflict is real but resolvable through emotional balance and practice.  Worry less about whether or not others understand your intentions.  Don't let difficulties in your daily routines stop you from completing your obligations.

Mercury Sextile the Ascendant

You are animated and have a knack for getting your thoughts across to others.  Traveling and movement can be just as much a path to knowledge as study.  The highway of life for you is interesting and communicating your findings to others is part of the excitement.

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

You expect to learn from others in life; therefore, relationships become quite important.  You have figured out that the best way to learn is to serve others.  By doing this, others open up to you and concentrate on their relationship to you because it becomes important. By this you are able to extract all of the knowledge and goodness from the relationship that it can offer. You have extra insight as to what blocks others in life so you can be a good and sympathetic listener. Your problem solving skills work well for you and are appreciated by others.

Uranus Semi-Sextile the Ascendant

Impulses strike you without you being able to meaningfully act on them. Learning that a great idea or impulse still has to be gestated in order to gain a harvest is the beginning of how you can truly express your uniqueness.  When your timing becomes uncannily accurate (with much practice it will) you know that you have crossed the threshold of the ordinary and your life will start expressing your true inner nature with some astounding accuracy.

Neptune Sesquiquadrate the Ascendant

Your sensitivity and ideals give you an innocence and beauty that others like but don't know what to make of.  You are hard for others to figure out.  You convey attitudes and impressions to others that you don't necessarily fulfill.  You're naive and gullible, not because you are stupid, but because you uphold ideals that move against the grain of established fact.  Learn more and more to see the world and people as they are, not as they could be, and the world will present you with opportunities to express your more sensitive perceptions.

          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.

                           AQUARIUS MIDHEAVEN

You have an instinctive feeling that you can do things your own way. You may ignore the obvious, thinking you have the basics taken care of. You are self-reliant and unique in your approach to career.  Freedom of self-expression is very important to you and this drive may encourage you to sacrifice career objectives that would otherwise give you security.

Venus Quincunx the Midheaven

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

Mars 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 Square Midheaven

You run into difficulties in your career climb as your values are out of step with those of your boss, your company, or your society.  You like people and this quality of being works wonders for you.  As soon as you cross into the learning mode of doing business with others (instead of constantly telling others how everything should be done) your foundation in career is secure and firm.

Saturn Separating Opposition to Midheaven and unafflicted.

You have a position of power and authority in life because you are self-disciplined and organized in your thinking.  You are recognized for your ability to be responsible.

Uranus Sesquiquadrate Midheaven

You don't like taking directions from others.  Actually, going your own way is instinctive, impulsive, and instantaneous.  You go through several shocking changes of circumstances that look totally spontaneous but do present you with the opportunity to unleash your creative genius.  You have a unique pattern of development in career.

Neptune Trine Midheaven

Humanitarian and spiritual goals tend to motivate career.  You have accurate projections as to the course of culture.  You are psychic whether you know it or not.  Your gentleness and sense of refinement can give you a sustaining faith.  You are happiest when using your intelligence for a universal motive.

Pluto Applying Opposition to Midheaven and unafflicted.

Vague fears and deep emotional blocks can stop you from coming into your own early in life.  You grow as the deeper fears are transformed into positive and balanced insights about life.  You have a wellspring of inner strength and can stand up to a good deal more than most people.  Your extremes in mood or thought may be difficult for others to accommodate.  Help them by doing some processing of your social interactions each day.

     D. The Conjunctions.

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

Sun Conjunct Mercury

Think of Sections II. THE SUN - Your ego structure, and IV. MERCURY -Your mental life, as a single unit.  These two very primary ingredients of your being express themselves together. Whatever affects one of them affects both of them.  This Conjunction represents a central theme in your life.

Mercury Conjunct Venus

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

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 CANCER

Your emotional roots are important to you and you have a nostalgic streak in you that is very powerful.  Your family connections and sentimental attachments from the past form the basis for your decisions.  How you feel about people or situations is the primary ingredient in choosing a direction. Your attachment to feelings from the past, both good and bad, are like mud.  This gives continuity and meaning to experience but it also keeps you stuck like glue to your habits even when they don't serve you any more.  Work on being more optimistic without giving up consistency, and more innovative without giving up well-worn habits.  Learn to accept people at face value who are different and your life will be more fun and more stable.

Sun in 3rd house

You get off to a fast start in life.  You expect to be good at what you do.  You see competency as primarily a matter of experience, and you set out to gather a broad understanding of people, your environment and life in your early years.  The natural lines of growth in life show that you concentrate on communication and learning as your self-picture develops.

Sun in 3rd house Afflicted

You should strive for continuity.  You may need to develop a little more patience and kindness in your daily affairs.  People may perceive you as being unreliable and therefore untrustworthy. Take the time to listen, explain, and understand.  Avoid rationalizing.

SUN CONJUNCT MERCURY

You have a very close alignment between your mental skills and your ego.  This can give you great depth of perception and great resolve. You need to be careful that you don't become dogmatic or develop "tunnel vision".  When you become focused on one thing for a long time, you may suffer from nervous exhaustion.  Learn to take breaks without losing your initiative.

SUN 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 SEMI-SQUARE YOUR MARS

Little things going wrong or opposing you ignite great resources of energy into motion.  You can get angry in a flash.  You can make your own life miserable and narrow, getting even with people, bureaucracies, or material objects.  Excitement carries you far.  Anger wastes your energy and prohibits your progress. Only real understanding can keep your energy focused productively.

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 4th house

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

Moon in 4th house Unafflicted

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

MOON IS IN 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 SEMI-SQUARE YOUR VENUS

You are easily offended because of your great emotional sensitivity and excessively personal outlook.  Amazingly, you are unaware as to how you offend.  Consequently, you are often perceived as selfish and petty. This perception by others disturbs, even limits, all relationships. This continues until you become more self perceptive and really understand how you affect people.  What is required is an increase in your self-worth and some further development of your empathic skills. This breaks the negative emotional habits that keep you trapped.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

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

MOON SEXTILE YOUR URANUS

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

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 CANCER

Your mind is colorful and very emotional.  You have a retentive memory and a great imagination.  You have the ability to express yourself with a good amount of emotional force.  When you are hurt, worried, scared or angry, you may not reveal to others what is really on your mind.  The emotional content of your mind may prejudge your perception of what other people are doing or why they are doing it. Aim to be more balanced.  You adjust under unpleasant circumstances easily if nothing that you rely on for emotional security is threatened.  When home, family or a love object are uncertain, you can be very disturbed.  You need to develop new solutions rather than using a patchwork of old methods.

Mercury in 3rd house

You have an inquisitive mind.  Learning and traveling are primary modes of self-expression and expansion.  Talking, writing and studying are adaptational mechanisms for dealing with stress.

Mercury in 3rd house Unafflicted

Your mind and your sense perceptions are clearly aligned.  Others may think that you are nervous at times when you are merely making rapid adjustments to changes in your environment.  Your many and constantly expanding interests give your life an air of excitement.

MERCURY IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

Your mental life is very closely tied in to the core of your being.  We looked at this connection in Section II. The Sun -Your ego structure.

MERCURY CONJUNCT VENUS

You have a certain charm and graciousness in your manner of expression.  You have an artistic sense which can come out as beautiful penmanship.  People like you and will often seek you out.  You, in turn, are good at helping others express themselves.  You are courteous, diplomatic, and good at paraphrasing because you have an overview that comes from a multifaceted perspective.

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You are propelled in life by a deep desire to experience and then convey the truth.  You have common sense and the ability to get an extra mile out of yourself and others. Your faith in the inherent goodness or rightness in life sustains you through difficulties.  You are an attentive and curious student and an inspiring teacher.

MERCURY TRINE YOUR JUPITER

You have a way of exaggerating and embellishing descriptions of circumstances in your life in a way that creates a new pathway for others.  Your aim is for a better world for others and a better life for yourself.  You have the ability to communicate the positive ingredients in a situation in a helpful, meaningful and uplifting way.

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 CANCER

You love home, the past, food, and warm romantic notions. You are nurturing and affectionate.  You are a truly gentle lover.  Your affections are very sentimental and devoted. You can bend over backwards to make someone else feel good. When you run into trouble in life the origin can be that you have a maudlin dwelling on the past that stops you from experiencing spontaneous joy in the present moment.  You find inner peace through regular patterns in your everyday life.  Your imagination mingles with your memory to create harmony and comfort in your home and family.

Venus in 2nd house

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

Venus in 2nd house Unafflicted

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

VENUS IN ASPECT TO THE 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.

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You believe in yourself and in people.  Your life tends to improve as you go along.  You have a habit of knowing how to get one positive side of life pulling together with another positive quality.  You acquire money and position as if it was natural to you.  You are good at blending people and attributes of people together to get the most for the effort.  Luck in life is a direct result of your optimism.  Your life betters materially through marriage.

VENUS TRINE YOUR JUPITER

You are genuinely lucky and have a way with women who are lucky for you.  You have long range vision and planning which carries you far. You understand the principle of momentum and know how to get positive linkage working in all of your projects.  You are the master of rolling over accumulated wealth, talent, and energy.  The beautiful things of life come to you and you are big on personal enjoyment.  Occasionally, overindulgence will wear you down.  However, even when you make a bad mistake, you are cushioned against great harm.  Others respond to your charm.

VENUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

VENUS SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

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

SECTION VI.  MARS - Your Energy.

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

MARS IN GEMINI

Your desires are very electric and effervescent.  You desire to communicate but would rather talk than write.  Writing takes too much time.  You are nervous and excitable.  Your method for getting what you want is to work with intermittent flashes of inspiration.  You adjust your approach to new circumstances all the time.

Mars in 1st house

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

Mars in 1st house Unafflicted

Your general enthusiasm and focus on endeavors is a winning asset.  You are courageous and a good soldier for any cause.  You generally know what you want in life and how to get it.

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 IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You know how to get to your goals in life by steady, patient, and persistent progress.  You have good, practical overviews of the final result of your efforts.  You are good at planning a strategy and sticking to it.  You build your projects and your life with bedrock security in mind, with as little risk as possible.  Discipline, patience, hard work, and the blessing of good judgment work together to form a picture that looks like "luck" to others.

MARS SEXTILE YOUR SATURN

You work hard for what comes your way in life but you have an incredible eye for form.  You like boundaries and you use them constructively and to your advantage.  You are guarantied some success in life when you are capable of going slow and being procedural.

MARS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You have the ability to see to the heart of a matter very quickly. Your basic nature has a mystical and spiritual quality to it.  You have a subtle yet passionate quality in the way you express yourself that others respond to at an emotional level. Your natural field of activity in life should be one where greater emphasis is placed on the feelings and less on reasoning if this quality is to be used fully. There is an aesthetic side to your nature and it comes out in a way that is inspiring and reinforcing of a higher vision of truth.  You have a special feeling for the performing arts.

MARS TRINE YOUR NEPTUNE

You are a crusader.  You express your energy with meaning, intent, and drama.  You are willing to support your ideals with actions.  You have an inner magnetism that can stir a crowd or audience.  You have a great capacity for devotion and inspiration.

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 SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO

You have tremendous strength and courage.  You have a way of turning circumstances in your environment to your advantage. Your innate sense of how to apply your energy to the work place means that you not only have a great vitality but you use it efficiently.

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 SCORPIO

Your values run deep and are emotionally charged.  Deductive and fond of mystery, you have enthusiasm for the side of life others might as soon forget or ignore.  Sex, death, and life's ultimate principles color the way you approach choices. Preferring the intense, the decisive, you do your best to avoid compromises and the normal common place ways of being.  You thrive on intensity. Your reasoning is subtle and you attribute motives to others that are really components of your own makeup.  You have a tendency to "short circuit" your emotions.  This causes great intensity of pleasure, pain, joy and worry.  You feel a great wellspring of knowledge within you for the hidden side of life, where thought and emotion blend.  You are psychically connected to society and its needs, as well as the immediate demands of your environment. Because of this you are naturally "in tune" with the needs of a situation, and often find strength to act in a definitive problem solving manner.  You actually prefer crises to calm because stressful situations bring out your best.  Your passions can be quite strong and at times your emotions run away with you. Still, your great external restraint keeps your behavior from being antisocial.  You pierce the veil of illusion in regards to other people; you see them as they are pretty much, being unimpressed by a person's social standing or financial circumstances. You are natural in scientific disciplines like chemistry and biology. You have great devotion for whatever your will is focused on.

Jupiter in 6th house

You are a very resourceful worker and can make a lot happen in relatively little time.  You can be uncompromisingly disciplined when you see the need for it.  Overdoing or overindulgence can be the source of health frustrations.  You may have to work at learning moderation.

Jupiter in 6th house Unafflicted

You are a great enabler.  Even if the program and ideas originated with someone else, you know how to get things done. You are excellent in being able to attract the best from others in a work situation.  You know how to play on the team.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

You have Jupiter in aspect to Mercury indicating a deep commitment to communicate something of value.  You will have a commitment to knowing the truth and conveying it to others.  You will find some further information on this topic in Section IV. Mercury - You Mental Life.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO 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.

JUPITER IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You suffer because you remember your failures more than your successes and consequently have a hard time developing a picture of yourself as a winner.  In this sense you were born old. However, this same quality engenders a childish quality in you that tends to look for the "quick fix".  Hard work and consistency of effort brings success for you just like it does for everyone else.  Yes, you need some luck or some breaks, but these come from perspective, vision or aim in life. Work to see yourself as deserving good things in life, then be willing to put forth honest effort.

JUPITER SQUARE YOUR SATURN

Your picture of life is bigger than your skills.  Achieving your goals requires both patience and stamina. Once these virtues are mastered you are able to work with the culture as well as your immediate environment rather than being at odds with the world. Fears have to be faced rather than ignored in order to stop having periodic reversals of your business interests.  Your fears stop you from recognizing genuine opportunity to progress and are responsible for getting you to grasp wildly at imaginary opportunity.  Both of these things stop progress in life from being consistent or personally meaningful.

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 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 3rd house

You seem to work harder than most people at learning basic communication skills.  You may feel that you didn't get as much formal education as you wanted or needed.  Or, you may have gotten an early education which wasn't to your liking.

Saturn in 3rd house Unafflicted

Your intelligence and insight increase as you age.  You try to make sure that your assertiveness can be checked against observable fact. You learn from your mistakes and you learn at your own pace.  Mentally you can be a slow, logical, and accomplished builder; it just requires you to carefully inventory and use what you already have.

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 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 HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

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

SATURN SEMI-SQUARE YOUR URANUS

Poor judgment and unforeseen interruptions can stop you from fulfilling your obligations.  When you are able to adequately address your need for freedom and change, you are able to make more meaningful long range plans and meet your responsibilities more completely.

SATURN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You are creative and have a deep, inward gentleness.  You are able to use existing social structures to further your vision of a better world.  You care about others and are free of malice. You are a builder and have discipline and patience to get to a distant goal.

SATURN SEXTILE YOUR NEPTUNE

You are an idealist that has the common sense to keep your feet on the ground and put one ingredient together at a time to get to your goal. Anything artistic that you do will speak to some aspect of the culture. Your expressions are practical yet touch a chord of basic conscience in the public.  Your drama has a believability to it that is instructive.

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 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 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 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 5th house

You have a taste for beautiful, cultural things.  You wish to create something of beauty during your life.  You have artistic and dramatic ability which surfaces during all of your day-to-day activities.  You have lots of fantasy in your love life.  You may adopt children or your marriage partner may have them already when you meet.

Neptune in 5th house Unafflicted

The arts are a continuing source of inspiration for you.  The ability to blend fantasy and ideals and point them toward a common long-range goal burns brighter in you with age.

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 4th house

You have a deep attachment to your family, home and your original roots.  This quality may mean that you find traveling difficult or that you need periods of seclusion and retreat from the world. As you get older the whole world seems to be home.

Pluto in 4th house Unafflicted

You have a transformative effect on everyone you are close to. You have a deep wellspring of power and knowledge that surfaces at intervals under stress.  Your feelings and thoughts blend together; it is hard to separate one from the other as your childhood experiences were so feeling-oriented.

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 PARALLEL AND CONTRAPARALLEL.

You are very resourceful.  You always find a deep inner strength with which to take some steps forward.  When the going is difficult, you are still able to build some type of victory or personal reward on anything that happens in your life.  You have a passive ability to endure and wait.  You have an active talent for planning.  Your keyword is Reorganization.

     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 Mercury.

You have good mental habits that aid you in seeing solutions to difficulties as they emerge.  You are good at locating alternatives when your forward progress is stopped.

Moon in the Fourth House.

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

Mercury in the Third House.

You like learning.  This attribute gives you the right inclination toward your environment.  Consequently, you seldom repeat mistakes. You see alternatives others miss; this aids all your decision-making and planning.

Venus in the Second House.

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

Mars in the First House.

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

     C.  YOUR MOST PERSISTENT DIFFICULTIES.

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

Afflicted 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.

Jupiter in the Sixth House

You throw yourself into action without seeing the big picture. Often, you end up putting energy into a situation that cannot work out as favorably as you wish or expect.  Check your enthusiasm until you see your future picture of yourself clearly enough that you can envision how it connects with your present course of action.

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 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.

     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 Moon

You undergo development throughout this life via the process of your ego drives learning to work in harmony with the circumstances of your everyday existence.  As you get older you ask more of yourself as you adjust to circumstances of each situation rather than fighting them. To do this without lowering your goals, standards, and expectations is the trick, but it is also the path of personality maturation.

Sun Semi-Sextile Moon

You pay extra attention to how your activities start and stop. Growth can occur quickly when you concentrate the majority of your energy on how you get involved and how you complete each task.  The principle of inertia takes care of a lot of the middle ground for you.  Your time and energy does best when focused on the things that are changing.  You have the capability to adjust to outer world circumstances and changes, and it is through this that your life improves as it progresses.

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 Semi-Sextile Uranus

You build a fabric of self expression slowly over a long number of years.  Your erratic impulses add color to your personality. There is a nurturing quality to your urges for freedom, but this unfolds in a useful manner only after you become comfortable with its occasional and inconsistent way of appearing.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Mars

You struggle with issues of self worth and learn much about yourself by watching what goes on in relationships.  You learn to appreciate others by learning to appreciate yourself.

Venus Semi-Sextile Mars

You want some things in relationships that you don't put forward and feel easily slighted by others.  Recognize that others often express your innermost thoughts and feelings, then strive to be more forward with your desires.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Pluto

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

Venus Semi-Sextile Pluto

Lack of continuity can be the single most important difficulty in having a satisfying love life.  When things are going smoothly you have a subtle way of asking for more - until the answer is no - then you withdraw your energy and attention.  Learn to be honest with yourself as to what you really want.  Then, your taste can change profoundly for the better and forever.

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.

     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 North Node of the Moon

Your life improves much through the assertion of your own unique creative energy.  You generally connect with people through your enthusiasm and natural inner positive qualities.  You have the ability to change yourself by changing your circle of friends and acquaintances.

Moon Parallel Mercury

The mode of your communication is emotional.  You have a mind that can easily absorb the basic messages from the environment and give out the feeling of being generally interested in everything.  You have the ability to convey some aspect of your personality with every bit of information you release.

Mercury Parallel Saturn

You have a natural built in caution to the way your mind works. This is not always so evident to others but there is a serious cast to the way you appraise each situation that you find yourself in.  Your distrust of others and of life in general can be problematic.  Learn to win in any situation by going slow and looking at the big picture.

Mercury Parallel Ascendant

Your ability to act and react quickly to circumstances in your environment, gives your personality a lively quality.  You have a way of letting everyone else know  exactly what you think about an idea or situation.  You process a large appetite for information which you, in turn, enjoy communicating to others.

Venus Parallel Mars

Romantic and creative imagery color your perceptions of others. A powerful attraction to members of the opposite sex gives your life motivation when all else fails to move you.  And you find it easier than most to awaken in others an interest in the sexual side of life.

Venus Parallel Uranus

Your vision of beauty and perfection can have you in a whirl over how and who to relate to.  Relationships represent freedom to you and this can mean that you get involved spontaneously and briefly.  The abrupt side of your nature disguises the willfulness that can give you a certain stubbornness.

Venus Parallel Pluto

You have a love for the extremes which can endow you with much success in life when this is properly channeled.  The drive to make the most of every situation colors your movements in life. You are fascinated with the depths of every situation.  When you are physically active you move with great confidence.

Saturn Parallel Ascendant

A gloomy outlook can color your approach to any project.  It takes a good deal of work on yourself to let your natural conservative tendencies find a wholesome expression.  When you are very disciplined and comfortable with a cautious and easy going way about your life, you are rewarded many times over. Your timing can be off with any project if fear stops you from moving forward or anxiety or excitement get you moving quicker than the project can sustain. Even tempered momentum coupled with an "easy does it" attitude, is the way to win in most situations.

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.

Moon Contra-Parallel Jupiter

You have an underlying feeling that success is eminent and your expectation of good things in life is responsible for creating the best that there is to be had in any situation.  Over-extension can stop you from getting to your primary goals so you periodically need focus.  Travel and wealth may be your lot in life primarily because you expect it.

Moon Contra-Parallel Midheaven

You have an instinctive need to develop and nurture a home life. This can sometimes feed into a shyness or a secretiveness that makes it harder for you to propel yourself forward in life.  When you do take steps to get your inner feelings out to a larger audience, you discover that you have real ability in dealing with groups.

Mercury Contra-Parallel Midheaven

You have a natural and deep interest in communicating with others, but a nervousness within you can get in your way.  In order to feel really adjusted it is important that you stay focused on the most essential aspects of what you wish to accomplish each day.  There is a playful quality to your nature which can give you an ability to connect with many types of people.

Saturn Contra-Parallel Midheaven

Fear and attraction can affect your relationship with home and family. You struggle harder than most to feel safe.  At the same time this very ingredient that can causes difficulties in your personal life gives you the kind of caution and personal honesty that allows you to build gains on a very firm foundation.

     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 First House

You need to learn self-containment.  Calm, steady application of energy towards your personal desires leads in this direction. Your desire to please others can stop you from seeing what you truly want.  Others pull you off balance.  Your emotions get you into trouble and relationships can be deadly.   Decisions to be practical and cautious are usually on target.

                          TABLE OF DEFINITIONS

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

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

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

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

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