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.

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

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

Earth

You have 30% of your chart in the earth element. This shows you know how to be practical. It is important that you stay balanced in your approach to the material world. You are prone to obsess on details and practical considerations and then periodically ignore them. You do much better to develop a mode of operation for being in the world and then to adhere to this way of being, regardless of your particular feelings in the moment.

Air

You have 30% of your chart in the air element. You vacillate between being very interested in people and ideas and needing time by yourself. Periodic isolation and an involvement with routine, commonplace activities that do not require innovation are relaxing for you. You need both spontaneous activities as well as predictable patterns in your life.

Water

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

2. Modes

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

Cardinal

You have 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.

ARIES RISING

You have a very direct manner for dealing with others. You wish people would be able deal with you in a very direct way. Others come into your life in very diplomatic ways because you are so direct that it is hard for you to connect with others who are not prepared to do it all your way. You have abundant energy and accomplish much by acting on impulse. You throw yourself into activity but don't always have the patience or energy to finish your projects. Your natural environment is one where the work is completed swiftly. You like to move on to the new and pioneering side of a project and seldom are interested in sitting still for the rewards. You gain pleasure through movement: physical, emotional and mental. People are attracted to your spark of enthusiasm and your genuine and direct mannerisms. Relationships tend to stay simple with you because none are at loss to discover where they stand with you.

Moon Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 1st House and unafflicted.

You are very personable. Others instinctively feel your nurturing qualities, and are attracted to you. You can reach out to the general public and like dealing with lots of people. This quality works together with a general sense of self-acceptance to create a feeling of connection and wholesomeness. In close relationships you are not as warm as others have reason to expect but you do give of yourself.

Mercury Trine the Ascendant

You seem to know just what to say to get your message across to others. You find yourself traveling in order to gain more knowledge. The highway of life for you is interesting and communicating your findings to others is part of the excitement. Intellectual expression in some form is necessary for you to keep learning and you are motivated to keep some form of mental improvement going in your life.

Venus Quincunx the Ascendant

You reach for an unattainable beauty. Your quest for a higher ideal becomes more fulfilling as you get older and learn patience which is the key to moving from escapist confusion to powerful and enriching expression of your love nature.

Jupiter Sextile the Ascendant

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

Saturn Sextile the Ascendant

Reliability, integrity, and self-discipline are three of your positive virtues. Patience and determination help you make progress toward any chosen goal. Since you take responsibility for what you do, you find it necessary to work by yourself at times. You can only relate fully to others when you feel good about yourself, which in turn revolves around feeling productive. People can rely on you and they come to know this.

Neptune Square the Ascendant

You may not be able to prevent your being deceived by others, but you can strive to make sure that you don't do this to anyone else. Your ideals, your distaste for the unpleasant, coupled with your imaginative embellishments in life can add up to difficulties with people. It can be that you misappropriated some unrealistic ideals in your childhood that have tended to color your perception of the world since then. Your love of beauty will need some expression and you need some involvement with the arts and the culture as a whole in order for you to have solid and fulfilling emotional release. Learn more and more to see the world and its people as they are, not only as they could be.

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.

CAPRICORN MIDHEAVEN

You wish for career to be an area carefully limited to its proper domain in life without it intruding on your personal life or other relationships. You strive for integrity and a sense of personal responsibility and social worth.

Sun Separating Conjunction to Midheaven and unafflicted.

You have a rise in life based on the force of your personality and your natural ability to lead. You win people to your cause and the natural and lasting support you enjoy is based on your ability to set the tone of your life to a higher cause. Your long range view of life functions as your security net. You are able to defer immediate satisfaction in favor of the needs of future gains.

Venus Semi-Square Midheaven

You have good intentions in your dealings with others, but for all this you still make mistakes. You are attracted to beautiful things and charming people. Still, you suffer for having taste that is significantly different than those around you.

Mars Separating Conjunction to Midheaven and unafflicted.

You are very assertive and competitive. You love the challenges of life and enjoy the opportunity to prove yourself. You are happiest in a career where you can draw your own conclusions and make your own decisions. You like the freedom to be able to instantly put your insights into action.

Uranus Semi-Sextile the Midheaven

The urge for freedom colors your picture of a good career and a meaningful life. You realize easily in life that freedom conflicts with your desire for security and accomplishment. Stay active with the idea that you can have both. Responsibilities must be handled early in life without sacrificing self expression or squelching your creativity. Be patient. Your progress in life may zig zag a lot but you can achieve much in the long run if you can accept that your methods and path to your goals are highly unusual.

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.

Sun Conjunct Mars

Think of Sections II. THE SUN - Your ego structure, and VI. MARS - Your energy, 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 Mars

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

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 CAPRICORN

You are responsible and practical to a fault. Your natural ambition and hard-working attitude brings you success although slowly. You have a strong sense of duty and consider it a matter of personal integrity to pay all of your debts and complete anything that you commit to. You are cautious, dependable and just, as a worker or boss. You know how to conserve and regulate your energy for the long haul. Your outlook can be too serious, even morbid. Spend time learning to be more sociable and work at becoming more effective in your self-expression. To do this will not just make your life more well-rounded and enjoyable, but also more productive in very tangible ways.

Sun in 9th house

Your vision is lofty. You concentrate on the "big picture" and the far away seems more interesting than the close and familiar. You can be a good risk taker. Your energy and idealism can be quite an inspiration to those around you. When you are in your "people person" mode of operation your interests gravitate toward the outdoors, sports and competitive activities.

Sun in 9th house Unafflicted

You have a good sense for rapid advancement. You are a builder and know how to take advantage of opportunity. You are able to find ways of overcoming the limits of your environment and consequently will have some long distance communication and travel as part of your experience enhancement picture.

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 TRINE YOUR MOON

Inner harmony and balance creates tremendous momentum. You have a tight weaving between your ego and emotions. You achieve much and always can compensate for things that don't work out as planned.

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 CONJUNCT MARS

You need an outlet for the dynamic energy that fills you. Your drive is strong; your desire nature red hot. Difficulties come when you try to be sedentary or when you try to do everything everyone else's way. You need self-expression. You are a pioneer. You need to be able to "call your own shots" in some area of your life. When you feel angry, develop harmless physical movements to reduce stress. Next, get in the habit of examining your own drives as the origin of your discomfort.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

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

SUN SEMI-SQUARE YOUR JUPITER

Your path in life is fun, but success is jagged, even intermittent, until reason brings you understanding. Luck, balanced with quiet assessment, is your path of turning opportunity into substantial "real world" gains. You show early promise, being quick out of the starting gate, only to falter as enthusiasm wanes or priorities shift. Build a pattern of success by compensating for your periodic downturns of drive. Keep your goals prioritized so you don't get in your own way, caught in a clutter of confusion. Trouble emerges if you are not able to get closure quickly enough on the things you aim toward.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

SUN OPPOSITION YOUR SATURN

You tend to be inhibited, shy and reserved. You are solicitous of other people's good opinion of you. You accomplish a great deal because you go through a process of self-refinement and self-criticism. As you get older you learn in a very tangible way what the world is capable of providing. This allows you to become meaningfully self-contained which can lead to the overcoming of fears. Discipline brings accomplishment and helps dissipate fear.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

SUN OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

Frustrating compromises with others can leave a deep and grim emotional pattern. You feel that you aren't in control of your own emotional life. Consequently, being open with others is quite difficult. As you learn to share power and free others from your control, life improves and your natural ability to find depth and substance finds a positive outlet.


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 TAURUS

You have a sense of inner satisfaction that is both your strength and your weakness. On one hand, you know how to be persistent, to feel contented and to take the sensuous joy in the goodness of life. On the other hand, you may have real difficulty getting going when your circumstances require change. You may have some talent for the arts and you certainly love the creation of beauty. Your feelings run deep and your instincts and reactions to life are very colored by your past experiences.

Moon in 1st house

You experience the world through your emotions. You enjoy interactions with people and consequently may find life most enjoyable when you have an opportunity for lots of quick interchanges with the general public.

Moon in 1st house Unafflicted

You have social ease with the public. You are emotionally open and this conveys an image to others that you are understanding and empathetic. You do well handling lots of details and situations which require quick and versatile responses.

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 TRINE YOUR MERCURY

Quick-witted and multifaceted, your mind and hands move from one thing to another with great dexterity. Your mind moves swiftly to the point and you can easily turn the right phrase to cast the current situation in the right light. You excel in any field where intelligence and communication skills are helpful. Your instincts are usually correct and in step with public sentiment.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

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

MOON TRINE YOUR MARS

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

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

MOON SEXTILE YOUR SATURN

Your habits are conservative and your instincts naturally move you toward a pattern of common sense with some emphasis on repetition of the way things have been. Financially frugal and emotionally reserved is one way of describing you. Responsible, cautious actions come to you naturally. You seek and general get people's approval.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You are emotionally sensitive to others and very idealistic. Your values and beliefs may be at odds with the status quo. As a matter of fact, they may be just odd. Don't promote an ideal or value that occurs to you without doing a thorough probe of your own deeper emotional motivations. You may find that you are wasting your time building bridges between two nonexistent points. The way out of this dilemma is to demand grounding of your ideas in the day to day workings of your own life. You may suffer from time to time from a desire to do certain things which you are also afraid of. You need to work hard at getting continuity between your values and your day to day life. Avoid escapist actions that act as compensation for feeling incapable or unworthy.

MOON SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

You believe in the unbelievable and spend hours concentrating on things that are beautiful to you but will not happen. You can be charming but naive. A deep understanding of your drives and motivations help bring balance.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

MOON SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO

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


SECTION IV. MERCURY - Your Mental Life.

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

MERCURY IN SAGITTARIUS

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

Mercury in 9th house

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

Mercury in 9th house Unafflicted

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

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-SEXTILE VENUS

Literary skill and a refined outlook on life give you a likeable and colorful manner of expression. You are acutely aware of the way you affect others. This awareness can make you more sensitive to your own values as well as giving you some perspective of personal differences with others. You have talent for creating harmony.

MERCURY CONJUNCT MARS

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

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

At a core level you don't think well enough about yourself. It may appear that you do on the surface, but the truth of the matter is your pessimism and complaining comes from a fear that life will not give you what you want. Learn to work smarter and not just harder. You see the virtue in discipline and often force yourself to do things you feel are good for you. In turn, you may resent others that don't work as hard. It is more difficult for you to get where you are going because you are always having to compromise between what you would like to do and what you feel is required. This conflict between desires and feelings of obligation is often the source of worry, stress, and wasted energy. For all this, you excel in any area that requires close, careful judgment.

MERCURY OPPOSITION YOUR SATURN

Your feelings of defensiveness come from a perception that others don't hear you and don't understand you. Being disciplined, orderly, and patient brings consistent stable progress on any project; but, you need to overcome the feeling that the world is your enemy.

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You are bright and insightful but the very strength and depth of your vision can mislead you. In consequence, you get in your own way a lot. The magnitude of a project can intimidate you so that you don't even embark on it. You are a perfectionist and compulsive. You fear being judged by others as inadequate and this quality has you afraid to act. Of course, you do overcome this many times in your day to day life, but it goes smoother for you when you stop attributing negative motives to those around you. You are able to do this when you feel better about yourself. Periods of meditation and contemplation are necessary to get to know yourself.

MERCURY OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

You experience a large amount of mental and emotional anxiety. You desire to know the truth and consequently can be quite invasive to others. You lose your chance to get close to people (which you desire very much) when you retreat into a "know it all" attitude. Truthfully, you are afraid of others and this can make you paranoid and appear arrogant to everyone. Your mind works smoother as you become more emotionally balanced.


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 SCORPIO

You have a love of physical pleasure. You are passionate and have an aura of secrecy about you. You like nice things and will alternately approach them and avoid them. You lack moderation and tact. You consequently go from being overly sensitive to others to being shut off. You are proud and extravagant, then very ascetic. Harmony comes to you only through stabilizing and overcoming your desires. This comes slowly by comprehensive reexamination of past experiences.

Venus in 7th house

You place a lot of time and energy into relationships. You have a good sense for what others want and need. You have a strong need to please others and wish them to like you. This in itself can be an aid in negotiations and in all of your dealings with people.

Venus in 7th house Unafflicted

You experience much happiness through marriage. You have the ability to compromise and you attract a partner who is so inclined. Your natural instinct is to reach out to others, attempting to incorporate into your own life what you see in them as good.

VENUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You have extravagant taste and certain primitive vanities that leave you vulnerable to being manipulated and used by others. You have difficulties in telling who your real friends are. Money and good times come to you but they tend to be unstable. Your romantic life is very unsettling even though very interesting. Overindulgence gets you into trouble more than once but for all your flaws people basically like you so you stay "people rich" even when you are "dollar poor". Money comes and goes in great quantities and when you learn to save you have security.

VENUS SQUARE YOUR JUPITER

You like money and adornments. You have good taste, but, sometimes it's too good. You can get into trouble through overindulgence; staying on a budget is almost impossible for you. You are vain and others manipulate you through your own bloated picture of yourself. An honest self-appraisal and some reasonable restraint is the way to guaranty that your love of life, people, and nice things don't get you into trouble. Good luck comes to you, don't throw it away.

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

VENUS TRINE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your love and creativity emerge naturally in the course of living as you are beautiful, artistic, and appealing to be with. You have the ability to bring out the good in a situation. Your sense of color and light are profound and your skills and talents emerge with an aesthetic wish in any field.


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 CAPRICORN

You have desires which are naturally aimed at worldly success or positions of responsibility and authority. You are passionate and ambitious. You are practical so your method for getting what you want in life is to be persistent, patient and to sustain your energy and interest in one direction long enough to achieve success. You are self-reliant and conscientious. Don't take on too much and strive to see more than the serious, practical side of life. You believe in yourself, now believe in others.

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 SUN

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

MARS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

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

MARS IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

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

MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR 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 SEMI-SQUARE YOUR JUPITER

Wrong headed concepts about the nature of a project in front of you can cause you to misuse your energy. "Short cuts" often mean starting over again. For all of this, your energy and enthusiasm alone is responsible for bringing you some success in life. Your best line of self correction is to always look before you leap.

MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You are a perfectionist. You can pick at yourself and others unmercifully, trying to get circumstances in your life to match some unspecified standard. Your energy becomes freer to work in an unencumbered way when you recognize that you aren't really looking to match an objective standard at all. What you want is to find some emotionally and psychologically defendable ground to stand on. The real trick in life for you is to keep moving. This is not easy since you should really only move ahead on a project after forethought or planning; your judgments tend to be colored by your fears or your momentary desires. You work very hard for what comes to you. This is unavoidable. But, you could end up working very hard for no gain. This is avoidable through balancing your drives with your responsibilities. You find that you have better health and much freer energy if you get vigorous physical exercise at least three times a week.

MARS OPPOSITION YOUR SATURN

Frustration and anger can build up in you. The net result can be that you use energy incorrectly or inefficiently. Steady compromise and experimentation will teach you the best way to get to your goal. You must overcome fear of correction from others in order to make self expression realistic.

MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You have lots of energy that erupts into violence every so often leaving you confused and exhausted. In industry, you have a taste for secrecy and covert operations. As a warrior you are more at home leading a guerrilla band in the jungle than as a general leading the parade down Fifth Avenue. You are at war with yourself. Your conscience is at odds with your desires and only long-range study and integration of your personal values can lay the foundation for smooth, comfortable, and regular energy. Until this happens, you suffer from having abundant energy that bursts forth violently, then little energy for a spell. The violence, anger, and disagreements with others stop as well as abnormal needs for secrecy (which just becomes more normal needs for periodic privacy) when you arrive at some degree of self-understanding.

MARS OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

You experience frustrations in accomplishing your goals. It seems that circumstance as well as other people conspire against you at critical moments. You are on a path of growth as soon as you give up your desire to force other people to be different than they are. As soon as you surrender your desire to control anyone else you weaken everyone else's control over you. You have massive amounts of energy but it is hard for you to use it consistently and constructively.


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 AQUARIUS

You value personal freedom and are motivated to overcome all obstacles in order to experience a higher vision of truth. You like anything that gives you creative expanse, and are naturally attracted to explore new ideas and experiment with the results in new ways. You have a need to show some originality in your work, and look for opportunity that stimulates you mentally. You have a good imagination and are fond of using it. This is not just a personal crusade as your picture of the world includes bettering other peoples' lot. You are both tolerant and humanitarian. You can become too theoretical; at times, you daydream about ideals rather than living them. However, your humanitarian instincts ground your ideas, demanding to see some sort of application for your values. Although you are not particularly interested in money, you may be in charge of other peoples' resources as an outgrowth of your higher vision of a better world through the application of scientific, socially futuristic, and humanitarian values.

Jupiter in 11th house

You may find yourself drawn to many community activities. A club or organization occupy a good piece of your time. In your early years you are a good judge of what group of friends will be appropriate for you. Your social life means a lot. As you get older this same impulse will become more ritualized into community activity. You are well paid for your work and generally do well in this area of life.

Jupiter in 11th house Unafflicted

You are well known and trusted. Others flock to you for advice. You are generous with your time and resources. You think big; your aim is high. You do well because you enjoy life and people and like watching others succeed.

(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.

JUPITER IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

JUPITER TRINE YOUR SATURN

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


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 GEMINI

You are afraid of being tied down and will shuttle between many options to avoid being stuck. You are attempting to refine your mind. You work best on mental projects that can be finished swiftly. You have a glibness that comes out under these circumstances and it is put to good use. You are highly adaptable. Without discipline you are a dilettante. With proper training and focus you become an accurate and versatile disseminator of thoughts.

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 THE SUN

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

SATURN 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 AQUARIUS

You are able to express your ideals and uniquenesses best when you are having to rise to the challenge. You are very willful but a real humanitarian. This is because you conceive of your life as having significance through how it connects with all of life. At its best your life is for the good of everyone; at its worst this means that you assume that what ever you want is good for everyone else.

Uranus in 11th house

You are a true patriot of social causes. You are optimistic, humanitarian and a true believer in the goodness of people deciding their own destiny. You have several different types of friends, some quite unusual. Your ideas are ahead of their time.

Uranus in 11th house Afflicted

Your friends may be completely unreliable and therefore your social life is very erratic. Your own reliability may be in question by others because your willfulness sometimes cuts you off from them.

URANUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

URANUS OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE

Your world seems to be "turned on its head" every so often. Your values are always challenged by your personal drive for freedom. You need to avoid any feelings that your life is completely out of your hands. Life is best for you when you make meaningful compromises with what you envision as given circumstances of your life.


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 CANCER

Spiritual growth and society's betterment are very closely allied for you. You act instinctively to bring about better feelings between people. Your feelings can be so sensitive that you retreat from interactions all together.

Neptune in 4th house

You go to some trouble to secure the congeniality of your home environment. Your roots in life are tied to your spiritual outlook. You may live in surroundings that strengthen your intuition of psychic perceptions like being near a large body of water or in a spiritual commune.

Neptune in 4th house Unafflicted

Spiritual longings grow stronger as you get older. You are able to create an island of solitude where you can retreat from the day-to-day pressures. As you get older, this inner fortress stops being so much an escape and more a pillar of stability in your personality.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have an aspect of Neptune to the Moon. This indicates a deep interest in the arts and in cultural pursuits. How your aesthetic taste influences your daily life is discussed further in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life.

NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO URANUS

SECTION XI. PLUTO - Your Need For Fundamental Change.

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

PLUTO IN CANCER

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

Pluto in 3rd house

You were incredibly probing and insightful at a very early age. Your intellectual development was faster than your emotional development. You could see other people's motives before you knew what they meant. At best, it meant you were clever, at worst, paranoid. An aura of secrecy guards the doorway to your senses and your mind. You like to observe without being observed. Because you observe and judge at the same time, you feel others do so as well. You attribute characteristics of your thought process to others. You are painfully self-aware.

Pluto in 3rd house Unafflicted

The powerful image-making function of your mind can sustain you in any project regardless of how confining or lengthy. The hidden is revealed to you even when you can't express it to others.

PLUTO IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

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.

Moon in Taurus.

You have an inner strength that is rooted in uncommonly deep self-acceptance and self-satisfaction. You have very consistent habits that help you.

Venus in the Seventh House.

Your natural love for others brings out an inner joy. Relationships are a constant source of self-expression and excitement. You have a deep inner conviction in others.

Mars in Capricorn.

You have ability and a natural knack for seeing opportunity before it will occur. Your stamina is very strong and your timing is impeccable. Your greatest asset is that you know what you want and are willing to go for it.

Uranus in Aquarius.

You have a fountain of new ideas and interesting insights. To harness these ideas you may have to work, but they are always at your disposal regardless.

Uranus in the Eleventh House.

You have the ability to see and utilize the good in everyone you meet. Your inclination to focus on the uniqueness of each person and each situation in life gives you a powerful asset in everything you do.

Neptune in Cancer.

You have the ability to build an aggregate of positive virtues based on your past experiences and your warmest and deepest ideals. Your sensitivity to others is very helpful in your life and theirs.

Neptune in the Fourth House.

Your natural feeling for your own life and life in general is very positive. Family and your emotional roots can create a pattern of positive expectation that you can always fall back on.

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.

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 Ninth House

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

Venus in Scorpio

Your love nature is so intense that you easily scare away those you would attract. You love and hate with such extreme that you only find peace through a higher communion of the spirit. Practice altering your vibration so as to escape self victimization through petty attractions.

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 Neptune

Yearning to manifest a higher ideal can put you in fantasy more than most people. You feel intrinsically tied to social institutions, so you tend to feel victimized by them unless you are actively doing something to improve them.

Sun Quincunx Neptune

Your energy tends to be directed unrealistically. Your own sense of self changes as you learn from your own misappraisals of situations that are important to you. If you feel drained or frustrated it is always helpful to look at your overall direction in life and determine if you have taken on more through your high ideals than your physical vitality can sustain. It is always worthwhile to see how your ideas are received by others, to see if you can involve them in your vision. When you can't, avoid trying to do everything yourself. Slow down, "if it is worth having it is worth waiting for."

Moon in Growth Aspect to Venus

The receptive and gentle side of your personality is always looking for an appropriate expression. You learn by trial and error how to relate your sensitivity to others without invoking disappointment or rejection from them. Learning how to receive what others give you freely requires work on your behalf.

Moon Quincunx Venus

The frustration you experience in life often comes because you get what you ask for from other people (and life in general). Unfortunately, what you ask for isn't what you want. Partly, you are slowly learning better communication skills, and partly you are learning to understand your own deeper cravings as they are. You see the unacknowledged and undigested parts of your sensitivity and creativity present in others, but, these are really projections that you have to own within your self if you are to change for the better.

Mercury Semi-Sextile Venus

The creative side of your personality becomes a path of growth for you as you learn to use every relationship as a possible form of personal understanding. Your manner of expression and general tone of your voice reveals your attitude toward life, which of course changes dramatically through time. When your misunderstandings and personal inflections get you into trouble with those with whom you are close (or those with whom you would like to be closer) then you find access to deeper personal resources in carrying on human relationships. You can accomplish an unbelievable amount of work with people (in regards to end results) through very slight alterations of the intonation and inflections of your expressions and mannerisms. Little changes can carry you a long way.

Mercury in Growth Aspect to Neptune

Your imagination, ideas and visions may differ significantly from what is happening in the world around you. It may require patience on your part with society as others seem to fall short of your ideals. Balance is required for you to stay aware of some higher principle in your own thought process. Without appropriate balance you end up treating your own higher ideals as if they were just confusion and in the way of your communication and personal accomplishments.

Mercury Quincunx Neptune

Lots of time and effort can be wasted when you plan on things that are way out of reach. Your imagination and ideals serve you well when you are careful to keep the sequence of essential happenings in mind and accept your own idiosyncrasies. Be careful you don't promise more to others than you can deliver. Self-honesty is not easy but it is essential in order to develop.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Saturn

You limit your own arena of emotional expression. Getting over your fears and learning how to correctly value your self and others is the path to positive, responsible expression of your feelings. The path of self knowledge requires some fine tuning of your way of exploring relationships. Overcoming fear of others and your inherent shyness only happens with practice. The rewards are that you learn about yourself while getting closer to others.

Venus Quincunx Saturn

You have difficulty seeing what you are actually responsible for in relationships. Consequently, you take on more responsibilities than necessary in order to insure the continuation of your relationships. Do people like you for you or because of what you do for them? You are easily confused on this point. If you are busy doing things for people, they never get a chance to know the real you.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Pluto

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

Venus Quincunx Pluto

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

Mars in Growth Aspect to 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 Quincunx Neptune

Your idealism and inflated expectations of others and life can lead you into very frustrating circumstances where you feel emotionally and physically drained. Your energy and emotions strengthen as you learn how and where to be involved in other people's projects. You have difficulty learning realistic boundaries with others and realistic limits as to what you can expect from yourself. Artistic expression can help give form to your humanitarian temperament.

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.

Neptune in Growth aspect to Pluto

You have an opportunity to use the inspirational side of your nature in a positive and powerful way to be a force for change in the social order. If you move in this direction, most of what you aim at will not manifest for a very long time, but, you will benefit directly and immediately in your personal life. As you become more socially involved, aspects of your own personal difficulties will drop away. Social involvement can become a mirror in which you see many of your own shortcomings multiplied and expanded exponentially. This interaction with others can become a way of working on yourself.

Neptune Semi-Sextile Pluto

You have a possible avenue of working on yourself by working with the larger social system. The key here is to be open to changing your pace and level of involvement with the social system fairly frequently. Any extended and unrelenting fight for a cause prohibits this very socially conscious aspect of your nature from being pliable or adjustable enough to be useful for personal growth. But, translating your highest regard for other people into some form of systematic and institutional change (with some intermittent alterations) does bring transformations both socially and personally.

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 Mars

You have a good inner drive and great recuperative powers. Your immune system works very well. You are driven by an undertone of anger much of the time. This can create rash and aggressive behavior. Getting to the root and understanding your drives helps free and strengthen your energy.

Sun Parallel Midheaven

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

Mercury Parallel Mars

You have a combative and forceful mental nature. You are driven to act on things that you find out in your quest for knowledge and self expression. At your best, the criticism inside of you finds an active problem solving approach to that which you wish to change in life. At worst, you will need to curb your sharp tongue so as not to stir up trouble where none has to exist. An argumentative and aggressive quality operates behind the scene with your every thought process. Your energetic mindset gives you an exploratory and empirical twist to your learning and communications. Impulsive and argumentative ingredients can put you at odds with people who also have forceful and active mental natures.

Venus Parallel Jupiter

You have a sociable and hospitable nature. You have the ability to make the best out of any situation. This sometimes gets you into trouble because your expectations are sometimes beyond what the world can supply, therefore you can either suffer from overindulgence or over-extension.

Moon Contra-Parallel Venus

You have great ability to make peace as your instinctive nature is one that naturally seeks out the common ground between people. Popularity comes to you through your basic charm. There is a latent talent for creating beauty which needs only to be activated.

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.

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.

Uranus Contra-Parallel Pluto

The unconscious urge to experience something transcendent can give you a profound restlessness. You may have more difficulty finding a positive expression to the deep volcanic energy inside, but in the long run this can be the fuel that drives you toward greatness. You will manifest your strengths in this life as you have no real choice.

F. YOUR KARMIC DIRECTION

The Moon's North Node is an all encompassing and instructive point of synthesis in the chart; we could easily start or end our analysis with this one single factor. Because this indicator is so all inclusive it most shows your karmic direction in life. The sign placement of your North node points to your destiny. When your actions, interests, and values are structured by this position, your general sense of personal well being improves. The house placement of the North Node of the Moon indicates or points to an area of life, an arena of experience. By confronting, even augmenting this arena you can inadvertently improve every aspect of your life. By dealing with issues connected to the North Node placement in your chart your general character strengthens and refines.

North Node of the Moon in Aquarius

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

North Node of the Moon in Aquarius and in the Eleventh House

You have a driving passion but the energy and potential connection to it goes unaddressed for some time as you extricate yourself from a natural tendency to put yourself first. Your picture of yourself doesn't really develop until you are able to participate in group work as an even-tempered and equal player. You are easily pulled into doing things by yourself and in your own way. Your true desires and friendships lie along the same path.
