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 Fourth Quadrant

You have the majority of planets in the fourth quadrant showing that you have a fascination with the big picture.  You are interested in accomplishing something in the larger world.  You wish to serve the community somehow.  Career and projects that have an effect on more than your own life become the focus of your activity.  You often attract recognition.  This may or may not be important to you.

     B.  Elements and Modes

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

          1. Elements

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

Fire

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

Earth

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

          2. Modes

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

Cardinal

You have 20% of your chart in the cardinal mode showing that you are capable of both leading and following.  You know how to assert your point of view or execute someone else's.  Your preference is to follow someone else's lead and embark on your own path only when you feel it is necessary.

Fixed

You have 20% of your planets in the fixed mode.  You don't have as much stick-to-itiveness as most people.  Still, if circumstances require it, you can put forth great amounts of energy in a controlled way, treading water until new opportunities to act present themselves.

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.

                              LIBRA RISING

You assert a tremendous amount of energy (although apparently effortlessly) trying to be what you feel others expect you to be. This endows your personality with a certain graciousness that others can easily appreciate.  When a controversy emerges around you,  you will exert yourself to achieve harmony in the environment as well as amongst people.  You are the diplomat.  On the other hand, you may get a reputation for being "two faced" or superficial unless you make the effort to get your own position clear.  You can't be a real peacemaker without some "backbone". Make sure you get time by yourself every  so often so you can judge what needs to happen in your own life free from others' influence.   Don't try to please everyone and your life is easier and more honest.  You are a people person and have a knack for being the gracious host and the grateful guest.  Your physical vitality ebbs and flows.  Spend time learning your own rhythms so that your efforts flow in their most productive manner.

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.

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

You are intense and transformative and it shows on you physically. Your demeanor is very polarizing.  Some people are attracted to you by your inner strength and resolve, others are frightened by what they perceive as an uncompromising quality. You have stamina that defies logic. Many times you will feel to be at the end of your rope and some deep pool of energy gives you your second wind.  You experience the heights and the depths emotionally and not much in between.  Because you have a need to be in control of your life you distrust your own emotions when they leave you vulnerable to anyone.  Loyalty is often a prerequisite to any emotional agreement.  Events of your life keep giving you the opportunity to exercise control.  "Real control  is self control".

          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.

                            CANCER MIDHEAVEN

You are personable in your way of administering authority.  You enjoy being in touch with all the details of the things you are responsible for in life.  Consequently, you may not want to expand to your full potential but instead may stay in more narrow guidelines.

Moon Semi-Square Midheaven

Your emotions can be so influential in your thinking that it is difficult to separate ideas from feelings and instincts.  This can lead to frustrations in your daily routines and give you communication difficulties with those around you.  You learn a good deal about yourself by dealing with the public.

Mercury Applying Conjunction to Midheaven and unafflicted.

You use your language skills to make your way in career.  Both your communication ability and your versatility help you rise in life.  You like movement and mental involvement to accomplish a job.  You are good at getting your point across but experience disappointment if others don't appreciate your efforts.

Mars Sextile Midheaven

You like to be in control of any job or project that you work on. You can be a good leader because you inspire others.  You know how to put plans into motion very swiftly and are good at spotting opportunity. You have a knack for being at the right place at the right time.

Pluto Square Midheaven

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

     D. The Conjunctions.

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

Sun Conjunct Venus

Think of Sections II. THE SUN - Your ego structure, and V. VENUS - Your love nature, 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 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.

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 GEMINI

You are versatile and adaptable.  Usually, you have fifty projects going, all at the same time.  You are interested in everything, but this makes it very difficult to do anything in particular very well. You love to relate.  You build your day and your life around interactions with people, ideas and events.  You are a rapid learner and a good communicator.  Often, your learning is on the surface and your communication is just imitative, but you can reason and are not afraid of innovation. Try to be more consistent in your approach to life.  When you are well organized, you accomplish.  When you develop sympathy for others, your relationships become more stable.

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 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 VENUS

You have a magnetic charm to which people are naturally attracted. People like you.  Your inner knowledge of people aids greatly in getting along with others.  Because you have a second sense for what to say to people, you need to guard against mere people-pleasing, which can reduce your diplomatic skills to some form of self-seeking manipulation.  You are aesthetic and have a certain inclination toward all that is beautiful.  You were thought of as a cute child; if your interests in self refinement are cultivated in your adult years, you become a truly beautiful person.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

SUN SQUARE YOUR SATURN

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

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

SUN OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE

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

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  PLUTO

You are penetrating in your insight and informative in your suggestions to others.  You ask a good deal of yourself and are driven unconsciously toward important issues.  You have an instinctive and natural grasp of fundamentals.  You approach anything new with a blend of distrust and curiosity, but when you commit to some project you are one hundred percent behind it and execute your part with daring and self-confidence.  You make a true friend and a great ally.  Your vitality is very strong.

SUN TRINE YOUR PLUTO

You expect greatness as well as deep, far reaching effects for your efforts.  Your vitality, personal magnetism and drive produce fortunate and accomplished results.  You put your "Hallmark" on everything you do.  You are insightful, being a good investigator and a genuinely healing individual.  You have a magic ability to transform yourself and every situation through your intensity of focus.

SECTION III.  The MOON - Your Personal Life.

The Moon inscribes a circle around the earth.  It moves more swiftly than other astronomical bodies and thus represents day to day and moment to moment movements, adjustments and preoccupations.  The Moon is the symbol of the personal life which is molded and shaped by our environment, by events, and by social and familial expectations. Further, the Moon shows our responses to life which are based on our past habits, experiences, our heritage and our individual and collective cravings.

The sign placement of the Moon shows how you project yourself to the general public, how the instinctive and imaginative component of your mind operates, how you express your feelings and your most general experiences of your family and mother.

The house placement of the Moon shows how and where you make day to day adjustments.  Further, it shows the things you are most interested in dealing with in order to gain emotional equilibrium.

The aspects of the Moon show the general characteristics of the personality that are emphasized.  Planets in aspect to the Moon are symbolic of qualities in the personality that are used instinctively, habitually and with a high degree of versatility.

MOON IN LEO

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

Moon in 11th house

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

Moon in 11th house Unafflicted

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

MOON 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 VENUS

You have a naturally pleasing manner.  You seem to know what people expect and how to present yourself.  Women often play a key role in your life because you really understand them instinctively.  You are a gentle person preferring diplomacy to confrontation.  Your grace and elegance puts others at ease.

MOON SEXTILE YOUR VENUS

You have a special understanding and appreciation for the gentle, receptive and harmony seeking aspect of life.  Because of this quality every relationship contains some happiness and satisfaction for you. Marriage is a special mechanism for growth. You have a good imagination, good artistic skills, and empathy; all of which keeps you attuned to the public at large, who in turn generally supports you. Your ease in social relationships, natural charm, and graciousness gives a pleasantness to the way you present yourself.

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.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

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

MOON SQUARE YOUR URANUS

An iconoclastic habit pattern and emotional instability throw you off kilter.  Your need for security is threatened by your consistent nervous drive for personal freedom.  Coming to terms with the unexpected is required of you in order to improve your abilities to achieve your goals.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You have a deep and abiding connection with music and art.  When you are upset or feeling unbalanced; you can gain a sense of peace through music, meditation, and isolation.  You are a sensitive and creative soul.  As long as you are not too passive, your life has the good fortune to unfold along the path of least resistance.  (Becoming too passive can mean stagnation).  You are idealistic and believe the best about people.  This is good and helps people, but remember to concentrate on people as they are, and not just what they might become. A lofty potential is always there but might not ever manifest.

MOON TRINE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your senses become a deep road to pleasure and your idealistic mannerisms and proposals win you an audience which you inspire. You are very sensitive and need time alone, in quiet surroundings, in order to be balanced.  You have a deep appreciation for music and are moved emotionally by its color, rhythm and timbre.

SECTION IV.  MERCURY - Your Mental Life.

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

MERCURY IN CANCER

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

Mercury in 10th house

You are able to apply knowledge in a very practical way.  You may be able to turn you skill with language into literary talent. Your mental versatility and general adaptableness may bring you several changes in employment.

Mercury in 10th house Unafflicted

Your knowledge of language and of the world are a positive asset to having an exciting and fulfilling career in life.  You have a natural instinct for dealing with authority figures and situations that require you to take control.

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 IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

You are good with your hands and quick with your mind.  You see opportunity and act on it at once.  You are good at stopping and reporting the essentials in any situation. You are a quick learner, but not always a patient teacher. You expect others to have the same quick grasp of important details that you have. Usually they do not.  You are not interested in knowledge for its own sake but for what it can do.

MERCURY SEXTILE YOUR MARS

You are capable of changing directions quickly to suit the circumstances at the moment.  Your underlying motivation for changing directions in thought and speech is your tremendous hunger for knowledge.  Your manner is overt and direct but you are friendly and a good listener; you are genuinely curious as to what is on others' minds.  You are a good communicator and strive for truth.

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You have some conflict between what you see as facts and what you hold as values.  You can see what you believe to be the good in life, but have difficulty getting to it. You sometimes engage in escapist fantasies or compensatory activity that actually carries you further away from your goal.  You are prone to having a division between your inner and outer life that is self defeating.  Your life greatly improves when you demand that you live out consciously any value that you hold as true.  Strive for accuracy and avoid exaggeration when giving descriptions to others.

MERCURY SEMI-SQUARE YOUR JUPITER

Your enthusiasm and overstatement of the facts can leave you "a day late and a dollar short".  Do your best to see what is actually going on in life.  Your interpretation of the facts can be so exaggerated that others misunderstand you or based on your appraisal, commit you to projects you can't complete. Consequently, you end up with imbalance in your daily planning and anxiety about your ability to complete commitments.  Strive to tell the literal truth, then be sensitive to the process of how others interpret what you say.  They infer much from your attitude.  When you learn to do this, you will have a more peaceful journey with people, facts, and information.

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You have a disciplined mind and the good fortune to see the virtue in the slow, careful, and picky approach to a problem. You have ability in business, accounting, planning, and teaching. There is a solemn, peaceful side to your mind and you may withdraw periodically to reevaluate your life experiences.  You can sometimes suffer from waiting for something that never comes or investing more time and money in a project that was a bad investment to begin with.  Always enter a project with a predetermined time and energy cutoff point and you will seldom be disappointed.

MERCURY SEXTILE YOUR SATURN

You are cautious, disciplined and careful in your mental life. Early on, you figure out that your thirst for knowledge, organizing ability, and good memory are strengthening for you and help you at any job or career.  Intellectual interests are a powerful motivator in any relationship.  You like patience and consistency, admiring more mature people.  You place a high value on integrity and being responsible.

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

Lightning flashes of insight periodically send your life off in a new direction.  Your intuitions are very accurate and you see to the core of an issue rapidly.  You are very good at finding a shortcut that periodically intersects a major highway in life. For this reason you have a very useful as well as inventive mind. You succeed in any environment where you are allowed to contribute new methods and applications.  You have the uncanny ability to speak others' thoughts before they surface.  This makes you a hit while brainstorming or in any progressive circle of people. You have a natural interest in astrology, alternative healing, and New Age subjects.

MERCURY TRINE YOUR URANUS

You reach out toward the unknown with a certain flair for mental adventure, with an unshakable conviction in the correctness of your unique perspective. You believe in the power of your insights to make your world and others' better.  You have the ability to inspire.  Your mental conviction and humanitarian outlook helps others.

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 SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

You have a deep side to your thinking and you wish to know the hidden side of anything that you get interested in.  Hard study is difficult for you because you see how much is entailed to do a job perfectly. Consequently, it is tough to get motivated.  You tend to be mentally all or nothing.

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 GEMINI

You love intellectual pursuits and may become involved romantically purely for the information it provides.  You have a refined gentleness about you but since your interests and focus is mental, others will see you as fickle.  You can fall in and out of love quickly with either a person or an ideal.  There is a youthful quality to you and you will seek inner peace through changing relationships, locations and travel.  You love the exchange of ideas and need to make sure that you give yourself the background you really require in life.  Weak foundations can give you a disposition that merely dances across the surface of life.

Venus in 9th house

You have a love of faraway places and people.  Because travel is an important value for to you, it is likely that you will spend some time in a foreign country.  You are devotional and very intuitive.  You have the ability to inspire anyone that you feel close to.  You help others bring out the best in themselves.

Venus in 9th house Unafflicted

You may prosper quite a bit through your long-range view of life. You have the big picture in mind and your basic optimism is inspiring.  You create success, not just for yourself but also for others.  You are a good listener, and can entertain many points of view as valid and valuable.

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 HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

You are prone to emotional and financial excess.  Your beliefs and values are at odds with your desires and it takes a lot of energy to integrate the two.  You may become very interested in the baser, more physical side of romance.  This is because you instinctively look for a common denominator between desires and values.  The way out of this dilemma is to work at helping others and avoid putting energy into the selfish side of your drives.

VENUS SQUARE YOUR MARS

Conflict between love and desire causes a deep inner struggle. You look for "love in all the wrong places."  Dancing, singing, and music are a way that you can create more of a harmonious atmosphere around you. There is a self defeating and self destructive chord in your nature which needs some instruction in the right direction in order to be more beneficial.  First, be conscious of your tendency to react to others; then, you automatically start lifting out of the baser side of your nature. When you catch yourself acting in a way that is not in your best interest, concentrate on your ability to defer immediate pleasure for a long range good.

VENUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You have some real difficulties in love relationships and with the material world.  On the surface, you are a gentle soul just trying to keep what is yours and trying to stop the world from taking advantage of you.  Underneath this veneer you are driven by fear and greed and your life is poorer for it.  Your instincts are conservative and you are frugal with money but this isn't sufficient to offset poor judgment with people and things. Reappraise your way of being in the world.  If your hand is closed no one can take something from you, neither can you receive what others wish to give you.

VENUS SQUARE YOUR SATURN

Fear of rejection confuses and limits your life.  You know only too well that you want things, people, and relationships that you can't have until you relax and take some risks.  The down side of any gamble can scare you so much that you are miserly with your money and your affections.  When you finally do reach out (and you always do) you tend to do it poorly.  Overcome fear. Practice self acceptance without a lot of negative comparisons and judgments.

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 OPPOSITION YOUR NEPTUNE

Emotional conflict comes because you have unrealistic expectations of life.  You are inspired by an unattainable ideal. You are creative yet often disappointed by your own inability to achieve your ideals of love and beauty.  Compromise and common sense are necessary in order to get the positive expression you desire.  Realize as an adult you are trying to win approval from a childhood authority figure that isn't present in your life any more.

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

VENUS TRINE YOUR PLUTO

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

SECTION VI.  MARS - Your Energy.

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

MARS IN 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 12th house

You desire an ideal.  You are impulsive but have good psychic sense for being able to turn any situation to your advantage. Because your natural drive is toward the unmanifest, it is easy for you to "tune out" of your immediate surroundings and live inside your feelings, projections, and expectations.

Mars in 12th house Unafflicted

A steady stream of energy sustains you.  You have inwardly bonded with something larger than your own life; this long-range habit pattern gives a touch of the ideal to everything you do.

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 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 CONJUNCT SATURN

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

MARS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

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

MARS SEXTILE YOUR URANUS

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

MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

MARS SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your ideals hold such sway over your drives that you look deep for ultimate expression before you act.  Devotional and inspiring, you can be quite a magnetic leader as you truly believe in your causes. Finding your niche in society is very important in order for the positive side of your artistic instincts to emerge.

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 VIRGO

You value technical and practical knowledge.  It is hard for you to direct your energy and attention toward something that doesn't have a practical application.  As a problem solver you can be endearing to others as you have patience and enthusiasm for details.  You take care of little things that others overlook. Your prudent, even if narrow, focus generally brings you material success of some variety as you plug along in a cautious and repetitive manner.  Often, you achieve success because your vision is so limited.  You will develop an idea or material position in life focusing intensely on minutia.  It may seem like an unimaginatively long haul to others, but not being encumbered by this type of imagination, you are good at building beach front property one grain of sand at a time.  You attract situations that allows use of your analytical skills.  Your highest vision of truth revolves around (and ritualizes) what has gone on before. Because of this you may spend much of this life looking for meaning or purpose. It is difficult for you to feel satisfied with what you accomplish, always assuming that meaning is out there in front of you somewhere.  Even though you are searching for truth your basic instincts carry you on a "highway of life" lined more by practical and necessary considerations than the philosophical and speculative.  You are prudent and generally avoid taking risks; still, you look for and expect to excel in anything that requires attention to detail, research skill and giving service.  In these things you feel lucky and will usually succeed in any business or venture that uses them.

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  Afflicted

You can make yourself miserable by wanting things that you can never have.  The truth is that you can have anything but you use escapes and fantasies as a compensation mechanism to deal with other pressures. Get honest with yourself and then your dreams become useful.

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 IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

This life certainly has its ups and downs for you.  Your tendency to exaggerate, overindulge or over-commit yourself gets you in trouble until you adopt the philosophy of life that "you get out of life what you contribute." At this point you stop trying to get something for nothing and your financial picture becomes much more stable.  You get in your own way at times by over-assertion or saying the wrong thing. You can have a bluntness and a vulgarity that creates a negative picture that you may have a hard time overcoming.  Gain control of your own life and the path to higher success is not only swift but fun.

JUPITER SEMI-SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

Your judgment and your perception of problematic situations can "miss the mark" and cause you to repeat projects many times looking for the perfect formula.  Critical details can be overlooked, causing you difficulties, but for all this you manage to get acceptable results, just not as abundant a return as you would like or expect.

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 12th house

You are deep inside of yourself.  You are reserved and prone to periods of seclusion.  You need to be left alone when you are working as you are so sensitive to everything and everyone around you.

Saturn in 12th house Unafflicted

You have a long history of being able to devote your attention to important issues of social change.  Sometimes you are too quick to take on struggles for others.  You have a real capacity for selfless service.

SATURN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

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

SATURN SEXTILE YOUR URANUS

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

SATURN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You are engaged in one of life's deep struggles.  Your higher and lower selves fight for control of your actions.  You are not generally able to secure steady forward motion along a progressive path until you willfully and consciously renounce everything that gets in the way of your highest ideal.  This is not easy and will require many attempts before success comes about.  Personal progress is sure though, as soon as you see your higher ideals as a direct extension of universal principles to advance for the entire society.

SATURN SQUARE YOUR NEPTUNE

Responsibilities create confusion for you.  You may feel very burdened by your beliefs which lead to feeling quite isolated from the rest of society.  Your life improves when you are able to rise above self-pity and see how you inadvertently cause your own suffering.  You need to build success by shuttling between your obligations and your ideals. Becoming rigid mentally or slipping into confusion is self defeating. Building positive self esteem is necessary.

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 SCORPIO

You learn best by making mistakes.  You feel things deeply and are always involved in some intense form of self-scrutiny.  You know how to stay with a project through a sheer act of will when necessary.

Uranus in 2nd house

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

Uranus in 2nd house Unafflicted

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

URANUS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

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

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

SECTION X.  NEPTUNE - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals.

The planet Neptune has an almost perfectly circular orbit.  It represents the part of our nature that strives for perfection, that looks to some higher ideal.  The planet Neptune rules the ocean and the part of us that is beyond the limits of the shores of personal existence.  The culture moves with the cycles of Neptune and it is the primary indicator of your connection to the culture that you live in. The sign of Neptune shows an ideal that you desire to manifest.  The house placement of Neptune shows the area of your life that you want to express this ideal in.  The aspect patterns of Neptune indicate the most direct connections yet most subtle networking of your personality into the world at large.

NEPTUNE IN SAGITTARIUS

You believe that the power to visualize a better world will create it. You have a love of freedom and philosophical ideas; you are by nature optimistic.

Neptune in 3rd house

Your mind is very impressionable and very idealistic.  You are imaginative and good at seeing all sides of a question.  You empathize well with others.  You have a propensity for getting so swept up in the big picture that you don't always see the important details of the immediate situation.

Neptune in 3rd house Unafflicted

You are very creative and communicative.  You have the ability to make others feel at ease.  You are impressionable but you are blessed with the ability to communicate a higher vision of the truth.  Be patient with yourself and others so that the finer side of this aspect of your nature can emerge.

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 LIBRA

At best, you are genuinely in love with peace and beauty.  You wish for justice and harmony.  At worst, you are detached to the point of having no particular viewpoint of your own.  You go with the winds of fortune, rationalizing and blocking all the way. Expressing your true feelings to others helps you access the deeper issues that sidetrack your attempts to transform your life.

Pluto in 1st house

Life is a battle to you.  You are powerful.  You are so secret that you don't even know what goes on in your inner depths.  You are a loner and a magnetic and adventurous explorer.  Your hunger for experience is insatiable.

Pluto in 1st house Unafflicted

Others don't understand you but they do respect your ability and your vast array of potentials.  Your robust and dynamic intensity is generally admired and utilized by others.  You may make a good troubleshooter because you are intense and self-reliant.

SECTION XII.  SUMMATION.

     A.  YOUR UNIQUENESS

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

YOUR MAJOR PLANETARY ASPECT IS A SQUARE.

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

YOU HAVE NO PLANETARY SESQUIQUADRATES.

You know how to work hard for what comes to you.  You have a relaxed style for bringing about change in life.  You get to your goals in life through careful planning and consistent application of energy.

     B.  YOUR EASIEST AREAS.

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

Uranus in Scorpio.

Your instincts to survive and your lack of restraint can create some very unique situations where you become personally responsible for the growth and development of new and useful ideas in your own life as well as society.

     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 Jupiter

Your values are lopsided so your energy and judgment is off. Overcoming pride, waste and unrealistic expectations creates the pathway to a more stable value system.  Your life improves when you are able to corral your aberrant need to feel that you "belong".  Things improve when you are able to establish a self picture based on your own approval rather than public acceptance.

Jupiter in Virgo

Your values are so much more limited than you think they are. You can see (and then potentially change) your limitations by observing how you make choices; then honestly evaluating the long-term results that come from your decisions.  Practical considerations ground your ideals and you do best to make sure that the practical issues are taken care of first.  When you let your mind fly free, then try to manifest your vision, you end up chasing a rainbow and wasting your energy.  Before you embark on any project evaluate the material and circumstantial needs the situation.

Uranus in the Second House

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

     D.  THE GROWTH ASPECTS

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

Sun in Growth Aspect to 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 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 Uranus

Erratic expression of the loving side of your nature makes it hard for you to be very close to others, but, it does supply you with interesting and exciting moments of interaction.  First, you learn to see the periodic disturbances of your routines as part of the enjoyable fabric of your life.  Next, you learn that the new information presented to you through the occasional disruptions as an unconscious method for you to know yourself and see the higher possibilities in your own love nature.

Venus Quincunx Uranus

Learning to let go of the past means being willing to release relationships you have outgrown.  Further, you need to reevaluate the way you imprison yourself in mindless routines, then revolt against them.  Different is not improvement necessarily, yet change is integral to development.  Learning to abruptly alter circumstances without emotional turmoil is the way of growth. You need freedom through relationships, not freedom from relationships.

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 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.

Uranus in Growth aspect to Neptune

You go through some tough adjustments to get your mental and emotional lives to agree with each other.  Your aim in life and your most natural inclinations will often reveal subtle differences in the way that you approach the mental and emotional components of your everyday experience.  As you develop along regular ordinary lines in life this conflict will only be seen as mild frustration.  When circumstances bring you abrupt change or when you decide to alter some fundamental property of your nature, you will find this conflict surfacing in a manner in which you can get some resolution.

Uranus Semi-Sextile Neptune

You develop opinions about life without trying them out in the world. Recognize the ideas you have that are different from the rest of society and apply them to something in the external world, then learn through the results how to contribute to the culture while becoming more connected to it.

     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 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 Venus

You color your expressions with great cheerfulness and artistic flair. There is a sociableness to your demeanor which give you sparkle.  The aesthetic taste you bring to conversation gives you charm, graciousness, and general likeability.

Mercury Parallel Midheaven

Good use of your hands and mind to make adjustments in your environment give you a way of feeling useful and important to others. Your underlying mental mapping of the surrounding environment is one that always reveals options.  This can give you nervousness, but also it gives you ideas and an interesting point of view.

Mars Parallel Saturn

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

Mercury Contra-Parallel Neptune

Part of the charm of your personality is your ability to believe in the creative aspect of your own mind as well as your given faith in others.  At times you may be taken advantage of and others may not be as worthy of your faith in them as we would like.  In the long run you will desire to do something creative with your artistic vision and will learn to integrate the higher aspirations of your mind into the context of ordinary existence.

Venus Contra-Parallel Neptune

A higher vision of truth and beauty lives within you, giving interest in the arts and a taste for refined things.  The problem with your lofty ideals and love interests is that they can often lack grounding and it takes much work to bring your insights and perceptions to manifestation.

Mars Contra-Parallel Ascendant

The truly forceful demeanor that you produce for others may be confidence building which allows others to believe in you.  Also, there may be a reactive ingredient which stems from feeling that others have been very hard on you.  You may have some difficulties having to do with other people's treatment of you.

     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 Leo

Self-expression advances you in life, but your ability to be creative at any level is based on your foundation of self-respect.  You learn to love others more deeply and more personally when you are able to embrace and accept yourself, as you are right now.  You see yourself and others in ideal terms and relate and have commitment only to the ideal.  You admire others because they remind you of what you might become, what you feel you "should be" now.  Practice a pattern of commitment and you are led quite naturally to struggles that improve your self image.  The dramatic qualities in life give you progress.

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

It is important that you be willing to stand up for your own values and your own perceptions against the attitudes of friends, colleagues, and peers.  Your weaknesses emerge when you passively go with attitudes of others.  Avoid becoming a sideline critic. You excel as an active player.  Remember, your fear of loneliness and lack of recognition can have you expounding things you don't really believe.  This is detrimental to your long range ability to form friendship bonds and professional alliances that have real personal significance.
