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 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 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 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 an abundance of earth in your chart showing that you are a cautious and thorough person.  You build material security in life. If, for any reason, this isn't happening you feel miserable.  This can point to a problem of valuing the wrong things in life and chasing empty dreams.  Ask yourself how much you really need and let it go at that.  You can be an earnest and hard working person if over-acquisitiveness doesn't blind you.

Air

Neptune is your only planet in the air element.  This means that just 10% of your chart in air.  It is a struggle for you to balance the events of your life with your beliefs about how life is or should be. This can be a stumbling block for you as you periodically embrace your higher ideals then ignore them in favor of more immediate considerations.  You work harder than most people at being "in tune" with others.

Water

Uranus is your only water planet.  You have 10% of your chart in water. Your feelings express themselves spontaneously and emotional stability is difficult to achieve.  You struggle to develop a meaningful personal life.  You don't express as much sympathy and feeling as other people do.  The expression of feelings can seem "gushy" and meaningless to you at time.  You strive to use the feeling side of your nature in some way that represents personal freedom.  This is an area in which you good undergo some improvement.  Hard work is necessary to get in touch with your feelings.

          2. Modes

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

Cardinal

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

Fixed

You are nervous and find action and adjustment easier than sitting still.  When persistency and permanence are necessary in order to obtain some fundamental change you can sit still for a bit, but your natural mode of being is change.

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.

                           SAGITTARIUS RISING

You are enthusiastic and inspiring.  You learn from every situation and from every relationship in life.  Sitting still and dying are almost the same thing to you: an opportunity to catch up on your sleep.  Your natural mode of being is perpetual motion.  You like to study.  This may mean school, travel, or that you just have to spend time in the great outdoors.  All of these circumstances create knowledge and motion for you. Relationships are an opportunity for you to teach someone else what you have learned if not learn more yourself.  You have a deeply rooted perception that you can grow in a joyful way. This belief that life doesn't have to be hard work makes you fun to be around. Many good things come to you easily in life because you expect them to happen.  You need to be careful that your positive expectations don't become "short cuts" that have you starting over with nothing to show for your efforts.    People often like you even when they can't understand you.

Moon Semi-Square the Ascendant

You have a certain amount of painful self-awareness that stops you from expressing your true feelings as easily as others. Still, your feelings run deep and do come out.  Try to worry less about whether or not others understand your intentions.  Don't let difficulties in your daily routines stop you from completing your obligations.

Mars Square the Ascendant

You are often frustrated.  The roots of your anger, causing so much pain in your life, are conflicting desires.  This conflict can certainly make for difficulties in both your professional and family life.  Strive to make your inner conflicts explicit so that you can understand and come to terms with them.  Find safe, physical releases for your pent-up energy.

Jupiter Semi-Square the Ascendant

Overindulgence and too much of the "good life"  slows you down on the long road to self knowledge.  Don't be afraid to say no to your social life.  Remember, you don't need to have it all in order to be happy. The road to success is found through being content with what you have.

Saturn Square the Ascendant

You have carried many issues from your childhood forward that need to be addressed wholesomely before you are able to achieve the success that you seek.  Your brand of self-disciplining seems overly restrained and repressive to others.  Responsibility is a stumbling block for you. It is difficult for you to see clearly what really obligates you.  The more that you express your true thoughts and feelings the more you overcome your tendency to complain.  You are shy and have a problem putting your best foot forward in life.  You don't feel that you deserve what you want so you often attempt to get your second choice rather than asking for what you really want.  This can lend itself to you feeling very self-sacrificing when this tendency is really just a way of perpetuating your shyness.  Be responsible, but enjoy life.

Neptune Sextile the Ascendant

You are very imaginative, and can often guess what others are looking to find.  You have a chameleon-like quality that knows how to give others what they want.  This is at the root of your aesthetic taste and your creative and dramatic ability.   You are moved emotionally to get along with others and your psychic skills show you how to do this.  You have a wish to transcend your own limits which can place you working in large institutions or find you engaging in escapist activity.  The most positive escape is the spiritual path which is a higher accommodation to the ideal, or the arts which is a manifestation of the higher desire for harmony and beauty.

Pluto Trine the Ascendant

You have a skill in research and a desire to see every project through to conclusion.  There is a quick but quiet perception of the shortest route through an issue.  You can be a true efficiency expert and your emotional extremes seem to free up useful energy for every project.

          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.

                             LIBRA MIDHEAVEN

A certain evenhandedness goes into all decisions for you.  You tend to relegate much of your responsibilities as you like to involve others in major projects and decisions in life.  Your desire to do things correctly may lead to self-doubt and vacillation.  Your aim is high. Your overview of life is quite comprehensive.  Success always involves key relationships working out wholesomely.

Sun Sextile Midheaven

The strong sense of your own authority or self-worth comes forward in career.  You easily relate all that happens to your career or social position.  You are good at seeing what is your responsibility and what is someone else's.  Others like you and you are good at expressing your positive features in a helpful manner.  You know how to apply the force of your personality in a way that assists others.

Moon Trine Midheaven

You are good with people.  You know instinctively what will please others and what will be problematic.  After you have become comfortable with yourself and your own ways, you are at home in the general public.

Mercury Sextile Midheaven

You have the ability to explain your thoughts well to others. You are able to change your attitudes and inclinations to go along with changes in the circumstances in your life.

Jupiter Trine Midheaven

You are lucky in landing a new job and in carrying out a job you already have.  You are aided in career by your sense of confidence and your administrative skills.  You are a natural salesperson and you have progressive management skills.

Uranus Square Midheaven

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

Pluto Semi-Square Midheaven

Your own stubbornness or limited focus in a situation can bring you to a meaningless stalemate with bosses or authority figures. There is a lonely quality to the way you operate in career.  You have insight and psychological judgment of any situation that can be amazingly accurate.  When you overcome fear, guilt, and negative intensity your insights can be put to good use.

     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.

Moon Conjunct Venus

Think of Sections III. THE MOON - Your personal life, and V. VENUS -Your love nature, as a single unit.  This Conjunction colors your unconscious habits and your basic attitude toward life. This is an extremely important ingredient of your identity and represents a primary attribute of your personality.

Moon Conjunct Jupiter

Think of Sections III. THE MOON - Your personal life, and VII. JUPITER - Your values, as a single unit.  This Conjunction colors your unconscious habits and your basic attitude toward life. This is an extremely important ingredient of your identity and represents a primary attribute of your personality.

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.

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 SAGITTARIUS

You have a good grasp of the big picture.  Although you are overly blunt at times, you have a basic sense of honesty and a lightheartedness which gives the ability to connect with lots of different people.  Your overview of life makes you particularly prone to accurate projections.  You consciously strive to obtain freedom through self-understanding.  This may engage you in philosophic or religious studies, schools or more directly through travel and exploring the great outdoors.  You get closer to your goal in life when you become more concerned for the thoughts and feelings of others.  You are very quick to react and your spontaneity can be pointing to a lack of sincerity.  You learn a lot by consciously reexamining your motives and methods.

Sun in 12th house

You are an idealist.  You are open to the crosscurrents of society. You need time alone to sort out your own material and to avoid overload.  Because you perceive too many options you may have difficulties in getting started on a project, but the "long haul" generally works for you because you often surprise others with your endurance when you are emotionally committed to a course of action.

Sun in 12th house Unafflicted

You are often moved to do things which improve the quality of life in our society.  You may enjoy working in some large institution or in a capacity of service.  There is a natural rhythm in life of moving in and out of contact with the outer world.  Your inner life is rich and will periodically absorb all of your attention.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MOON

You are like the proverbial cat that always lands on its feet. You harvest experience and store it away.  It becomes an asset. You have a natural instinct for seeing your own limits and the limits of a situation.  You gauge your commitment, your involvement, and your energy well.  Generally, you have enough of whatever you need to get the job done in life.  This is perhaps the nicest and most productive influence to find in a horoscope.

SUN SEXTILE YOUR MOON

You have a skill for finding solutions to difficult problems. Your natural method for finding remedies to issues at hand usually requires some compromise from all concerned.  You inner poise is a good starting point for any project.  You have a way of making sure both your ego drives and emotional needs are addressed.

SUN CONJUNCT MERCURY

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

SUN SEMI-SQUARE VENUS

You have a pleasant appearance and know how to get along with others. You may find yourself locked into a situation where you can see more than you can materialize.  The difficulty here is that your goals move forward when you do, so they always stay out in front of you and you never seem to get where you are going.  A self-dissatisfaction can always be hanging in the air.  Thinking more of others and less of yourself is one of the few things that breaks through the hard crust of ignorance.  Concentrating on the concerns of others punctures the myth of isolation which is the real cause of your false sense of self-dissatisfaction.  You are prone to petty vanities and extravagant spending when you are feeling defeated.  You can avoid this pitfall by learning genuine self acceptance.  Once learned, you become a real joy to be around.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You are lucky and optimistic.  You are frank and direct with people without being hurtful.  You are responsible and benevolent and can see how to get things done.  You go through several changes in life which leave you in improved circumstances.

SUN SEXTILE YOUR JUPITER

Self-esteem abounds and you are able to help others primarily through example.  Because you are comfortable and confident with yourself, you assume an aura of authority.  Since others recognize this optimistic outlook in you, and because you have a tendency to instill confidence, you rise in life.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

SUN SEMI-SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your idealism can lead to deception and self-deception.  Further, you are vulnerable to being led to the wrong conclusions by other people's suggestions.  It takes a good amount of mental discipline to make sure that your ideals and suspicions don't overrun your common sense.

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 CAPRICORN

You are ambitious and cautious, a practical builder.  You know how to hold to a position once you have taken it.  Others find you a good leader and good at applying preexisting principles. What you lack in imagination you make up for in diligence and reliability.  Others don't always trust you though because you are underhandedly competitive. This comes from your dualistic model of the universe where if one person is winning someone else must lose.  The fuel for this outlook comes from a broodish emotional nature and limited outlook on what you feel you have coming.  Try to be less self-demanding and more sympathetic to yourself and others in your life.

Moon in 2nd house

You have an emotional need to know that the bills are paid.  You have some fears connected with lack and you will attempt to create some material security as a guard against worry.  Your natural instinctive pattern in life tends to be along cautious, conservative lines.

Moon in 2nd house Unafflicted

Money and material possessions come and go in life but somehow you always manage to have a "nest egg" tucked away.  Your attachment to the past can manifest best through your ability to remember the positive qualities of others.

MOON IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

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

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  MERCURY

You are intelligent with a good grasp of meanings and a good memory. You adjust easily to changing circumstances, draw quick generalizations and can communicate your findings to the public. You learn new things easily.  You are able to expand and build on what you learn because you have a good imagination.

MOON SEXTILE YOUR MERCURY

You have good creative self-expression.  You like getting your ideas across to others.  You have a way with words and positive and useful insights.  Health and hygiene are important to you. You are well organized and have good business sense as well as the ability to make time for your domestic life.  You are tactful, knowing what to say, when to say it, and to whom. Having good writing skills, you are able to articulate your own feelings, as well as those of others'.

MOON CONJUNCT VENUS

You are gentle, kind, pliable and pleasant.  You are friendly and affectionate.  People generally like you.  You have a pleasure-loving side of your personality that can easily become self-indulgent.  This is generally not a problem as long as you stay focused on the outside world, the public and other people. Strive to stay in a cheerful and "upbeat" mode.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

Outbursts of anger and emotional extravagance get you into trouble. You are always finding your limits by exceeding them. Better to learn to think before acting.  Planned intervals of strenuous physical activity can take the edge off of contentious emotions and help you obtain some deeper balance.  Don't eat when upset and your health will be better.  Link your energy to some humanitarian, idealistic project and your perspective widens and your life improves.

MOON SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR MARS

Enthusiasm and emotional explosion can lead to accidents.  Learn to pace yourself so that your desire nature doesn't force you into immature patterns of behavior.  Emotionally, you are always playfully, powerful, and experimental; looking for ways to rise above your limits.

MOON CONJUNCT JUPITER

You are sincere, generous and joyful.  Your life tends to go from good to better mostly because you are optimistic and expect it. For the most part you are healthy and robust.  Sometimes extravagance and overindulgence can cause you difficulties.  Too much of the good life ends up limiting your freedom.  Once you learn moderation and contentment you experience deep and continuous inner joy.

SECTION IV.  MERCURY - Your Mental Life.

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

MERCURY IN SAGITTARIUS

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

Mercury in 12th house

Your mind is idealistic and very subtle.  You think in symbols and often see the implications of objects and actions rather than the things themselves.  You are open and psychically receptive and should have relatively undisturbed periods of insulation. Contemplation and meditation can be natural adaptational mechanisms for you.  You may be a slow learner early in life until you learn how to selectively filter your observations.

Mercury in 12th house Unafflicted

Your mind may be slow and contemplative but you do perceive certain higher truths in life - are you able to communicate them to others? Patience, persistence and discipline help you make order out of your own unconscious mind.  You are a good confidant because you know the value of keeping a secret.

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 IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

This indicates that you have a very personal, feeling mind. You have a very close personal use for your mental life. The details of this connection were discussed in Section III.  The Moon -Your personal life.

MERCURY SEMI-SQUARE VENUS

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

MERCURY IS IN 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 SEXTILE YOUR JUPITER

You are motivated to share your vision of life with others.  You wish your thoughts to affect other people's conceptions and actions.  They do! People respond to your optimistic outlook. You have a knack for expressing ideas to people in a way that is diplomatic, while pulling on their ability to respond positively to your optimism.  You are an inspirational communicator; for you are a true believer with a strong desire to portray it.  You love knowledge and have a wealth of it to share, which you do with great conviction.  You write and speak with vast expanse and deep certitude.  The truth as you see it is very important to you. Travel and study expand your horizons and you like anything that accomplishes this.

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

MERCURY SEMI-SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

You are very creative in your thought process.  You are mistaken at times about your facts - or the origin of an idea, but, for all this your imagination is good for writing and public speaking.  Confusion and mental obsessions can find you wasting time.  Be more careful when listening to others; then, your creativity takes off.

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 CAPRICORN

You love security, position and pleasure.  Your feelings run deep and are lasting.  You want to make sure that worldly circumstances are taken care of before you get romantically involved.  You are shy and have a deep fear of being rejected. Don't let others have so much power in your life.  Reorient your values so that the world matters less and personal achievement is powered from within you. Develop self-reliance.  Finding inner peace means being satisfied with what you have and not comparing your situation to anyone else's.

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 SUN

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

VENUS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

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

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

You are a good partner and a good relater.  You have a positive interest in marrying and will probably settle down in a permanent relationship early in life.  You have an eye for value and will do things with people that increase your net worth.  You are practical and make decisions that are profitable.

VENUS TRINE YOUR MARS

You are destined to have a lot of relationships and a strong sexual attraction goes to and from you.  You enjoy life and people and are intensely creative.  You find fulfillment through some creative enterprise.

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 SATURN

You have artistic sensitivity and social graces.  You have good judgment with people and know what is expected of you.  You have an innate sense of obligation so you are careful about what you promise to others.  You are responsible toward others once you have given your word. You are disciplined and will do well to study art or design.

VENUS TRINE YOUR SATURN

You are creative and desire some permanent form of expression in order to achieve inner comfort.  You aim to get your foundations in place in life as the familiar represents stability and this gives you comfort. You like people to be stable, practical, and competent.  You like things and people that you can count on. The predictable gives you pleasure.

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 VIRGO

Your desire for technical perfection can mean that you end up suppressing your wants.  You do have skills but often lack the drive to do much with them.  You need to build self-confidence. You work well in any area that allows you to serve others or that lets you create order.  When it comes to careful, detailed work, you are either a pro or you get completely entangled in the minutiae and the situation decays around you.  You take comfort in carefully defined details in any situation. Consequently, any time you feel threatened you retreat into details that make you feel safe.  The trade-off? Certainty costs you vision; you loose sight of the larger picture. You learn to see "the forest for the trees" when you become more courageous.

Mars in 9th house

Your energetic mind and fiercely competitive nature can be a powerful symbol of the free spirit.  You have a love of change and personal initiative.  You have good promotional instincts.

Mars in 9th house Unafflicted

You have good interactions with foreigners and may be very inspired to spend time in foreign countries.  You seem to benefit from participation in outdoor sports.

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 IN ASPECT VENUS

You have Mars in aspect to Venus.  This aspect shows sex appeal and interest in romance.  This aspect is covered more fully in Section V. Venus - Your Love Nature.

MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You are lucky but overstep your limits time and time again.  You are truly lucky when you learn how to walk away from the dice table a winner rather than always going for double or nothing until you lose. Your tendency is always to try to multiply a winning situation rather than just accepting it as a win at face value.  Enough is enough, learn to be satisfied.  In human relationships you are often in a kind of good-natured competition even with those on your team.  You think of this as building character and personal reliance but others will see you as selfish and a poor team player.  Your boldness and bluntness needs to be curbed; for even though people may like you, they will not trust you.

MARS SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR JUPITER

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

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.

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 CAPRICORN

Your values are practical, serious, dutiful and critical.  You are capable of being disciplined and exercise a large amount of self restraint.  You like consistency and have great organizing ability. You tend to know the material worth of things in life much better than most.  Because of this, you are naturally thrifty and good at spotting a bargain.  You have good self-control and are too conscientious to walk away from a position or program that you have taken on as a responsibility.  You are motivated by fame, power, and position much more than by money or material accumulation.  Still, you gain a sense of self worth through what you acquire so you will have a large collection of something (be it money or certificates of achievement) at some time during your life.

Jupiter in 2nd house

You feel optimistic and confident about money.  You anticipate that material good will come your way.  Your optimism may translate into a philosophy of abundance as you get older.

Jupiter in 2nd house Unafflicted

You get away with things that no one else seems to be able to do with the material world.  You are able to create your own reality.  Money keeps coming; even when you are careless with it (which is often) or extravagant (which is not infrequent) you are able to postpone disaster.  You have never been flat broke! You never will be.  Your feeling of self worth and natural abundance protect you.  You are worth a lot and this knowledge keeps a flow in your life even when you aren't doing much.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

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

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have an aspect from Jupiter to the Moon showing an interest in expressing values through your daily life.  What you believe has more impact on what you do than it does for most other people.  The information on this topic in Section III.  (The Moon - Your Personal Life) may be helpful in grasping how you do this.

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 IN ASPECT TO MARS

You have an aspect of Jupiter to Mars.  This aspect shows that you have an optimistic spirit and have the ability to assert your desires. Your enthusiasm may come forward as combativeness or as competition but in either case you are a lively participant in life.  Your values and your energy emerge as zest for living. This aspect is commented on further in Section VI.  Mars - Your Energy.

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 VIRGO

You fear the unknown.  You create more and more detail, become more analytic, and increase your technical proficiency, all to push back the frontiers of the great expanse.  You need to have more faith in life and avoid being wrapped up in endless dissecting.  You want to adjust to life on its own terms. Remember, your perceptions of the world exist in your mind as potentials first.  Give up worrying.  You are very productive and enough is enough.

Saturn in 9th house

You know, more than most, that morals and ethics are a social discipline.  You value highly certain things that have always been. Fundamental changes in values or beliefs are only made after careful evaluation.

Saturn in 9th house Unafflicted

At best, you are the champion of the way things work the best. You are empirical, bordering on cynical, but with a bright wit that sustains you.  You do feel some obligation to help people to think, learn, reason, or evaluate.  This can lead you to teach, administrate or legislate in some arena in life.

SATURN IN ASPECT TO VENUS

You have Saturn in aspect to Venus which shows that you take your love nature seriously and that you have a strong sense of duty. This is taken up in Section V.  Venus - Your Love Nature.

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.

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 CANCER

You are sensitive and emotional.  You blend instinct and intuitive understanding together.  You may move on such a fast track mentally, that the reasoning, analytic function gets lost in the shuffle.  A consequence of this is that you will find yourself doing things that you don't understand and have not clearly thought through.  This unconscious action pattern can lead you to altering certain fundamental assumptions about your own emotional foundations in life. This reevaluation of your feelings can lead you to having a very unusual and creative personal life and family living situation.

Uranus in 7th house

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

Uranus in 7th house Afflicted

Your marriage and partnership may lack any real stability.  Try to determine what the concept of freedom really means to you. Spontaneous actions in the name of freedom can push you out of the safety of well established relationships.  Strive to learn freedom through commitments rather than freedom from commitments.

URANUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

URANUS SEMI-SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

You have to struggle with a deep level of your own psyche that is demanding freedom and personal expression.  As this deep force inside of you emerges you can be left feeling frustrated or alternately learning from profound mistakes.   It is hard for you to avoid feelings of alienation at such times, but if your efforts can be put into dealing effectively with the needs of others, your own life is much easier.

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 10th house

There is an artistic and illusionary quality to the way that you approach life.  You may have to work harder than most people to prove your responsibleness to your bosses.  You aim for significant ideals but don't always have the stamina to get to them.

Neptune in 10th house Unafflicted

You bring an aura of graciousness and social responsibility to any task that you take on.  You are a visionary leader and others follow your lead because they feel that you are watching out for their best interests.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have an aspect of Neptune to the Sun showing that you have a gentleness and lofty vision of life.  How this works out is shown by Section II.  The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

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

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO 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 8th house

You have intensely potent, emotional and sexual relationships. You may have great concern over money but are in line for some inheritance. This doesn't mean that at some time money difficulties leave you.  You stay worried until you uncover and dissolve uncomfortable, emotional attachments.

Pluto in 8th house Unafflicted

Your love of the hidden aspect of life will lead you into some genuinely strange situations and some unusual states of consciousness. At least at a symbolic level, you are deeply plugged into society's resources.

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO URANUS

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

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 SEMI-SQUARE.

Your mind is the key to unraveling your life in a sane and organized way.  You generate details that can easily become problems or great assets in discovering new options while solving a problem.  Your life tends to rise or fall based on how you deal with day to day frustrations.  Getting a constant flow of energy and being able to apply it systematically in one direction is quite an accomplishment for you.  Life may not be supplying you with a lot of continuity but it is always interesting.  You do best in life when you are able to capitalize on the diversity without losing a sense of personal integration.  Your key word is Interest.

YOU HAVE NO PLANETARY OPPOSITIONS.

You are great at being able to manifest the direction that you choose for yourself in life.  This doesn't mean that decisions come easy for you or that you are always successful in achieving your goals, just that you are able to get your life functioning in the way that you would like.  You are fast to learn that power and growth come to you by accepting responsibility for yourself and your life.

     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 Saturn.

You know your limits.  This single quality can stop you from getting into any deep troubles as you instinctively pull back to preserve your gains before you become too vulnerable.  The conservative side of your personality is an asset.

Moon in the Second House.

You have the ability to earn and save based on your solid pattern of habits.  You develop a network of personal self-worth that serves you well.

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.

Pluto in the Eighth House.

You are committed to the transformation of your relationship to your world.  Years may transpire where this isn't evident, but you are always working inwardly on this very project and it is a deep source of strength.

     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 Uranus

You have a habit of expressing your uniqueness at the wrong moments and in the wrong way.  Unhappiness and a feeling of isolation are the end products of your actions that you were hoping would lead to freedom. True freedom comes through responsibilities, not by escaping them. Develop creative outlets for your energy that will not run counter to your basic good will to others and your true responsibilities follow you naturally.

Moon in Capricorn

You are competitive and self-contained in your daily activities. This need to prove yourself is rooted in feelings of inferiority. Practice being more peaceful; accepting yourself sets a smoother course for relationships.

Mercury in Sagittarius

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

Mercury in the Twelfth House

You have the ability to perceive the larger picture of the culture but have difficulty interacting with it in a way that is helpful.  You need to spend more time on applications and less time on theory in order to have an effective mental life.

Jupiter in Capricorn

Your value system can limit rather than inspire you.  Try to get your urge to accumulate focused on things that really matter.  If you have your self-acceptance based on what you are rather than what you have, you will become freer from the worry of your position in life.

Neptune in the Tenth House

You ride a wave of culture toward your social position in life. You don't impress others as being particularly competent so you have to work harder than most at limiting the scope of your vision.  Make sure that you don't ignore critical details of your quest in life and you can avoid being disconnected and irrelevant.  Avoid doing things that give others the perception that you are momentary and just "going with the flow" of circumstances.  Instead, commit in specific ways to big projects so you stay meaningfully connected to others.

     D.  THE GROWTH ASPECTS

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

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 Uranus

You come up with ideas that sound great but are not possible to materialize.  Remember, genius may be partly inspiration but not every idea is worth the effort to make manifest.  Your inner life can generate thousands of good ideas that you can't do anything with.  Be discriminating and your efforts are less likely to be wasted.

Mercury Quincunx Uranus

The new and unusual things that occur to you may carry you far from the basic needs of your everyday life.  Good ideas do not necessarily require you to act immediately to bring them about. Positive innovation will require you to alter yourself and your basic habits before you will see much change in the world or your environment.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Pluto

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

Venus Quincunx Pluto

Fear of disappointment and fear of others is the mechanism for keeping your love nature on a roller coaster.  Growth requires you to be honest as to what is causing your fears.  They are rooted in your lack of good boundaries and lack of positive self esteem.  You are easily pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people's lives because you feel it is your lot in life. Further, your unconscious compulsiveness first ritualizes then continuously repeats self defeating and denying reactions to others.  Careful examination of your routines and feelings about yourself are necessary to free your love to develop and grow. This creates a deep, inner healing.

Mars in Growth Aspect to Neptune

Just when you seem to have your aims and goals determined it's as if they evaporate or expand to some much larger context.  Your ideals always seem to be out of reach of your energy.  To compensate you may live in an alternate reality, escaping into fantasy where you control or create the rules or you become slightly cynical, feeling victimized by circumstances.  The way out is through slow, careful integration of your values and higher ideals bit by bit.  This requires patience and much trial and error reality testing.

Mars Semi-Sextile Neptune

Certain things that you aim for in life seem to be unavailable for you at the last minute.  You may work long and hard on a project only to stumble coming down the finish line.  Real growth starts occurring for you when you are able to see that something inside you gets in your way.  Further, some aspect of your higher idealism intervenes in an attempt to raise the level of manifestation of your energy; and, when you see and acknowledge this aspect of your nature you are able to nurture the positive, idealistic, and dramatic qualities in your artistic expression. There is a subtle magnetic quality in your being that can be quite persuasive and helpful to others under careful guidance.

Mars in Growth Aspect to Pluto

There is a compulsive side of your personality and you have some learning to do in this life connected with how your energy operates. Knowing when to stop or start a project is not so much a matter of timing as it is a matter of how to invest your energy.  You can avoid something you want, thinking it will require too much from you, or, start on some project, then go overboard trying to bring it to fruition.  Once involved in a project it is necessary to see how to regulate your energy as you do become so obsessed with the outcome or so addicted to the process that you lose sight of your general well being.

Mars Semi-Sextile Pluto

Since your own energy tends to be more focused on your own inner processes, it is easy for you to lose track of goals, desires and other people.  This in itself can be problematic, but rather than divert your attention away from yourself, you usually develop faster by focusing on how your own desires "link in" with larger social needs.  Being self absorbed is okay for you during the time you are evaluating your personal desires in relationship to the larger picture.  This comparison and subsequent alignment becomes your method of development.

Saturn in Growth aspect to Neptune

Learning to correctly administer the time and energy to get the most out of your ideals requires a good deal of effort on your part.  You are never able to completely ignore social responsibility, but you do learn to put it in perspective. Overcoming senses of social guilt requires you to continually adjust to your ever deepening urge to be involved in other people's lives.  Contributing time or money to socially conscious organizations of the culture is a start to positive involvement with others.

Saturn Semi-Sextile Neptune

You may have real difficulty establishing a positive sense of your own responsibility to your fellow humans.  There is a fantasy side to your nature that can carry you away into flights of imagination and nonproductive "wool gathering".  The moral code and values inherent in your nature help you to live a happy and productive life when you are able to eliminate your patterns of denial, avoidance and rationalizing.

Saturn in Growth aspect to Pluto

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

Saturn Semi-Sextile Pluto

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

     E.  THE DECLINATIONS

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

Sun Parallel Jupiter

Over-expanse gets you into trouble but your positive expectations help you gain many rewards in life.  Your cheerful optimistic spirit assists you in bringing any project to a good conclusion. The ability to create more of whatever you have, becomes problematic whenever you have difficulties or troubles as they can also multiply.  Your mental attitude holds the key to your actions, just as your values hold the key to the way your mental life unfolds.

Moon Parallel Venus

A sweetness colors all that you do and the natural tendency that you have to create harmony.  Your gradual responses to life and your instinctive reading of each situation that you are in lends itself to the creation of art and beauty.

Mercury Parallel Jupiter

You have the common sense and intelligence to learn the necessary ingredients for any project that you undertake.  Your optimistic expansive nature will get you into overly complex situations with ever expanding horizons, but this is good as this increases your philosophic understanding of every life circumstance.

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.

Saturn Parallel North Node of the Moon

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

Uranus Parallel 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.

Pluto Contra-Parallel Ascendant

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

     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 Aries

You grow stronger through the experience of self assertion.  You are diplomatic but may suffer from being too accommodating.  Be honest with yourself.  Is your desire to please based on some personal weakness (i.e. fear of others, lack of commitment, laziness, lack of self esteem, etc., etc.)?  If this is the case, learn to express your real self without creating any disharmony. Translate your  initial impressions directly into action. Postponement can mean procrastination.   The thoughts, needs, opinions and attitudes of others may be too great an influence in your life.  Develop your own opinions and attitudes and hold fast to your truth regardless of the consequences.  Remember the truth always creates harmony in the world. Whether others respond positively or not, your truth is what must come out of you, regardless of whether or not it seems to create harmony or not.

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

Recognize that you want personal, emotional satisfaction; the ability to make a deal is not an adequate compensation. Happiness lies in family, home and personal life.  Career can be hard or easy, but in either case it's beside the point.
