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.

Both Upper and Lower as well as Right and Left Hemispheres are Equal

You are equally poised between the active and the reactive sides of life.  You have equal investment in the outer, collective, extroverted side of life and the deep, inner, personal, introverted side of life. This gives you varied experiences that create a basis for genuine understanding of many different types of people and situations.  You have more difficulty than most people gathering all of your experiences together and gaining a sense of personal integration.  It is as if you are at war with yourself or at least performing some sort of continuous inner isometric.  You always do best if you seek some higher aesthetic solution to the conflicts of your life.

          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.

No Quadrant Emphasis

You tend to diversify your energy and attention to several different areas of life.  You may have difficulties in achieving your goals in life until you order your priorities.  You can be a master at balancing many different aspects of life when you learn to use your time wisely. Avoid letting your mind dwell on projects you are not immediately engaged in.  Keep your attention in the here and now and your life becomes much simpler.

     B.  Elements and Modes

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

          1. Elements

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

Fire

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

Earth

Because the Sun is in an earth sign, your natural way to achieve harmony and comfort in life is through some aspect of the material world.  This is a difficulty for you because you only have 10% of your chart in the earth element.  This shows that you struggle harder than most people to be practical and thorough in life.  Yet, being practical matters much more to you than most people.  Others may take issue with the way that you make decisions because you are not as careful or as concerned with the end results of your efforts as they are.  You want things that are beyond the material foundations of the world you live in.  To make progress on your path to success, you are forced to concentrate exclusively on the results of your efforts.

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

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

          2. Modes

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

Cardinal

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

Fixed

You 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.

                              VIRGO RISING

You are focused on service to others and have a tendency to idealize anyone you are involved with.  You are a good worker and very productive when your eye for detail and criticism don't slow you down to the point of making advancement difficult.  Before taking on the particulars of a situation you should clarify your desires and ideals, as well as decide on a path of action and method of implementation; then, your life is productive, happy, and organized.  When your feelings about yourself are too insecure you have the bad habit of looking out into life and trying to see what is possible, rather than looking into your self and seeing what you really want.  Under these circumstances the details explode in front of your sight in a way that can easily lead you to the belief or feeling that you're beaten before you start.  Your picture of yourself and of life are inherently attached to achievement and usefulness.  Generally, you do best in life by starting projects small where you can control all the key variables and expand outwardly from there.

Sun Sesquiquadrate the Ascendant

You have a powerful exterior that others find quite attractive. You have the ability to inspire others and people come into your life and are happy to know you.  Still, there are periodic changes in your personality that are rather profound and there are abrupt changes in the people around you every so often.  This can give a decided lack of continuity that can be a real annoyance.  Consequently, you are an easy person to like and a hard person to know.  Some of your inner conflicts emerge in all of your relationships.  You use your interactions with others to see and work on your inner conflicts.  This is a very constructive process of growth through self-expression in connection with others, but it is not always comfortable.  You get happier when your desire for freedom is closely hooked to responsibility.

Moon Conjunct the Ascendant and in the 12th House and unafflicted.

Others are attracted to you because they feel your concern for them. Your nurturing instincts are strong and you may be quite good at coming up with unique solutions to other people's difficulties.  You can reach out to the general public and like dealing with lots of people but still need time by yourself each day.  Because of this you need to be very selective in your personal relationships so that you get time and energy for yourself.  Your ability to connect with others is so strong that you need limits.  Your positive self-acceptance creates a wholesome atmosphere around you that helps and inspires others.

Mars Quincunx the Ascendant

Every time you express a desire you have the potential of being misunderstood.  Great clarity of purpose and attention as to how and when you put your ideas into action is required of you in this life. Avoid just letting the exuberance in you burst forth. You can become devitalized when you are not clear as to what you really want. Think, evaluate, then express.

Jupiter Sesquiquadrate the Ascendant

Periodically your self-indulgence carries you away from your life goals.  You are generous and helpful to others.  This quality is well used when you no longer care what others think about you. Your growth and progress is secure and even paced after you have learned to say no to  yourself and others.  Your social life can be fun but has a way of getting out of hand.  You have an exciting and meaningful life that is easier to live when you are more stable.

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.

Pluto Square the Ascendant

Things don't always go as planned.  Years of work can go down the drain in an emotional fit when the world doesn't live up to your expectations.  You have great amounts of emotional energy and fortitude.  You come into your own in life when this energy is controlled and directed in an intelligent manner.   A certain vindictive streak does you harm and stops others from getting close to you until it is recognized and dealt with.

          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.

                            GEMINI MIDHEAVEN

You enjoy work that supplies you with lots of opportunity to express yourself and have love of variety.  The truth may be an illusive ingredient and you may struggle to see things "as they are"  rather than as you wish them to be.

Sun Sesquiquadrate Midheaven

You have forceful and erratic ways of expressing your personality to others.  You wish for and achieve positions of authority in life.  You have some ups and downs until you learn unique and consistent methods of self expression.  These come to you eventually as does meaning and significance in the position that you assume in other people's life.

Moon Square Midheaven

You wish to be known by others and cannot break out of your personal limitations.  You wish to remain anonymous at times and at other times become a "household word".  In the long run, you get to your goal of being well known and liked for things you admire in  yourself.  The public arena is a natural operating environment.

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.

Jupiter Semi-Square Midheaven

Be careful that you don't take the "good life" for granted. People who could help you often don't because your attitude or values threaten some aspect of their life.  Don't allow frustrations of the moment to propel you into the future with unrealistic projections.

Saturn Sesquiquadrate Midheaven

You "bite off more than you can chew" in life.  Planning time and dealing effectively with your responsibilities can bring you into conflict with people in a controlling position in your life.  As you learn how to be practical and accept the outcome of your actions, your life improves.  This can be achieved as you learn to overcome the negative cast of your projections into the future.

Neptune Applying Conjunction to Midheaven and unafflicted.

You are a dreamer and an idealist.  You seem impractical to others but this is not necessarily the case.  Your high ideals give you a universal connection with the culture that allows you access to the future.  You are good at forecasting trends and this quality will help you in any job.  You have a taste for working with large structures. This can translate to institutions, big business, or artistic and social issue-oriented lines of work.

Pluto Applying Conjunction to Midheaven and unafflicted.

You are powerful and have a strong need for being in control. When you find career stagnating and you lose interest in your work, this is the time to stop and look at your own life.  You are psychologically attuned to your environment and situation. You are good at sizing everyone up and seeing what their real concerns are.  Avoid manipulating others.  Although you are successful, to control another is to be responsible for them. You are an extremist by nature and tend to polarize others. Do your best to be supportive and encouraging of others.

     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.

Mercury Conjunct Venus

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

Neptune Conjunct Pluto

Think of Sections X. NEPTUNE - Your spiritual aspirations and ideals, and XI. PLUTO - Your need for fundamental change, as operating together.  You see (through this combination) that to change the world is to change yourself and to change yourself is to change the world. This Conjunction represents a pivotal 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 5th house

You seek out situations which bring you self-expression.  You eke out self-definition through some ability to present yourself to others.  An aura of the dramatic moves with you and colors all that you do.  You have a strong presence and others tend to gravitate towards you.

Sun in 5th house Unafflicted

The urge to create may bring you the opportunity to perform for others. One success builds on another as your confidence grows. You have an instinctive feel for what pleases others.

SUN SEMI-SEXTILE VENUS

You have a charm, a beauty and an inclination to do good.  You need to make sure that you don't become lazy and give up striving for the good after suffering some disappointments in life.  The desire to nurture and your fascination with your own receptive qualities can put you in touch with many different types of people in life.  Learn discrimination and your life is much more pleasant.

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 SQUARE YOUR JUPITER

You are lavish and extravagant, generous but very overindulgent. Those who know you well give you great latitude with your petty vanities (which are numerous).  In the long, run self-confidence is the maker of success.  Pride is responsible for your failures. You understand yourself when you learn to judge your life by the results rather than by the feelings and intentions.

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 SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR  URANUS

You are always looking for a better way of being.  You have keen perception for the untried and can envision things that might be, even though they do not yet exist.  You have a sense for the dramatic and can express a new idea as if it was commonplace and common sense.  You are unique and will often play an inspirational role in others' lives. You are prone to sudden romantic attachments as you recognize the uniqueness of others.

SUN SEXTILE YOUR URANUS

You have an original and unique outlook on life - seeing ways and means lost on less adventuresome souls.  You can be a good team player because you view life from a creative and liberal standpoint; believing that new, unusual, and unique happenings can occur.  This spontaneity gives your personality color, as well as leading you to conclusion that are significantly different than ordinary logic would have us anticipate.  Your personality has a good deal of sparkle.

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 12th house

You tend to be very impressionable and this can make you gloomy. Stability comes through synthesis.  The need for self-understanding can force you to gather lots of experience.  You may appear as an unrealistic dreamer to people who do not know you very well.  People who are close to you see the long distance planning and the concern that you go through.  You work best if you are able to get blocks of time by yourself on a regular basis.

Moon in 12th house Unafflicted

A powerful spiritual ideal inside of you will have to come out and manifest in some aspect of your day-to-day life.  This longing for the transcendent life strengthens as you get older. You have the ability to bond with others over practical issues of home, family, and career. You instinctively know when to withdraw.

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 HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You are outwardly successful in life even though you have to go through some inner pain in your personal life.  Your greatest virtue is that you do learn from your mistakes.  You correct your own actions and go on.  Your life may have several low points while you are reorganizing after a setback.  You will be hard-pressed to sort out your true responsibilities and may find the day to day planning of your time to be quite challenging.

MOON SEMI-SQUARE YOUR SATURN

Self-doubt is triggered when you fear lack of support from authority figures.  Delays needlessly upset you.  Progress is made in the material world through discipline and continuity. Success in your personal life comes by understanding fears and going beyond them.

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 4th house

Your mind is deeply affected by your family.  As you get older you become more and more interested in how things work.  Your natural curiosity can prompt you to study or travel a great deal.

Mercury in 4th house Unafflicted

Periods of rest and relaxation punctuate a busy, active life. You may find that when you make time to explain yourself to others that you have an uncanny knack of being able to say just the right thing to capture people's attention and understanding.

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 CONJUNCT VENUS

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

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

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

MERCURY TRINE YOUR JUPITER

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

MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You get great ideas, even brilliant at times.  Still, others don't always hear what you are saying and this makes you angry or standoffish.  Whenever this happens, recognize that you need to be thorough and practical or else the world will not see what you have found so interesting. This is not the world's fault.  Slow yourself down long enough to learn how everyone else does things and you will find a natural channel for getting your ideas across. Remember, a good idea is only a good idea until it is put into practice.  Get physical exercise and you might find your nervousness much easier to control.

MERCURY SEMI-SQUARE YOUR URANUS

You are very good at seeing a creative new way of implementing old ideas but have difficulty in crossing from theory to practice.  Life is easier for you if you speak less about what you are going to do (or should do) and spend time sorting out your direction in life.  Your mind can be brilliant but superficial if not disciplined.

SECTION V.  VENUS - Your Love Nature.

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

VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS

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

Venus in 4th house

You have a love of home, country, family and are a good and gracious host.  You may have a deep attachment to your mother and your family of origin.  This attitude helps you create a firm emotional foundation in your adult years.  When your perspective on life is lifted from the provincial to the cosmopolitan you are capable of performing some great service for humanity.  It is important that you do this without losing a comprehensive and integrated view of what your own personal family needs are about.

Venus in 4th house Unafflicted

Your love of beautiful surroundings and your instinctive sense of color and form may emerge in your ability to put the finishing touches on other people's projects as well as contributing to your natural sense of design.

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 IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

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

VENUS TRINE YOUR JUPITER

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

VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

VENUS SEXTILE YOUR SATURN

You look for perfection and harmony in your love relationships. Only a mature, stable and responsible relationship holds much interest or promise for you.  You are slow to form your affections but once in place, they tend to last.

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 HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You are a great manipulator and are often caught up trying to make things appear a certain way.  You are the one who suffers from this tendency the most.  You tend to get tied down to a pattern of endless repetition in relationships. You have difficulty in letting go even when a situation is painful.  You are always dealing with people as symbols of others who are not even present.  Love and power become confused with one another. You have a deeply lodged need to establish your sense of self worth.  Once this is secure you can overcome your fear of being dissolved in a relationship built on equality and will start having more normal interactions.  You need to be less concerned with how you appear to others and more concerned with how you are.

VENUS OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

Your feelings can seem quite congested or frustrated.  At some deep level you fear others.  A feeling of being cut off from your own deepest urges prohibits fulfillment in life.  Jealousy and feelings of alienation are great enemies of yours.  Aim for compromise and act with affirmation and your potent love nature finds a meaningful path of growth.  Fear of rejection stops you from being open and vulnerable. Be willing to risk and your life improves.

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 ARIES

Your desires are strong and you have an instinctive aim toward all that brings independence.  You are bursting with primal energy.  Your method for getting what you want is direct, forceful, without much control.  Your general attitude is positive and when you want something you don't take "no" because you don't hear it.  Your life improves by learning to understand others' point of view.

Mars in 8th house

You can be very devotional.  You have a strong interest in sex and close emotional sharing.  Self-transcendence and self-transformation are important to you.

Mars in 8th house Unafflicted

Your powerful emotions and intuitions can keep you on target with your major projects.  You know the secret of increasing your own position by advocating important community and social values.

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 SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

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

MARS SEXTILE YOUR NEPTUNE

You express your drives and desires with color and excitement. Your energy is always aimed at the long range goals.  Your drives color your social conscience but you have a belief in your ability to be "in tune" with the times and with what is good for the culture.

MARS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You attain many things that you aim for in life through the use of great force.  You always seem to be able to draw up that little bit of extra energy that is necessary to push your project over the top. Actually, your supply of energy is almost limitless although it is well regulated and doesn't appear ostentatiously. You are powerful but gentle by temperament and have economy of effort down to a fine art.  You can outmaneuver or out-manipulate almost anyone, but you aren't inclined to use this skill in a mean or self-aggrandizing way. You are a good organizer and a good leader.

MARS SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO

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

SECTION VII.  JUPITER - Your Values.

Jupiter is the king of the planets.  He is in charge of the order of creation.  Jupiter shows your values, where you feel confident and in control, and where you feel you have something to teach others.  The sign placement of Jupiter shows your values in life. The house placement of Jupiter shows the area of life you feel luckiest in and the area you receive the most help from other people and from the cosmos.  The aspect patterns to Jupiter show the direct network of good and administrative power in your life.

JUPITER IN ARIES

Your goals relate directly to your own personal drives. Consequently, your values are narrow in scope but you hold them with great enthusiasm.  You are overly optimistic, truly believing in life and in your own abilities to materialize your vision.  This quality allows you to lead others at times on the strength of your personality alone. You are ardent and active with immediate and spontaneous bursts of energy.  You see opportunity in terms of your desire for freedom and self-expression.  You like activity and can become quite interested in travel.  The realm of ideas is highly personalized and colors all that you see and do as you are a pioneer, taking your own perceptions and unwittingly aiming them at the rest of the world. You have complete confidence in yourself and this trait alone can get you into trouble. You need objectivity as to the meaning of your life and your direction in it in order to avoid running into a dead end periodically.  When you have developed a good sense of limits your infectious exuberance inspires others.  You believe most strongly in that which is most immediate, and inevitably this is some attribute or ability lodged deep within you.

Jupiter in 8th house

Your mind is instinctively led toward life's mysteries.  You take great joy in finding life's basic causes and being involved with people's primary concerns in life of food, clothing and shelter. You are attracted to the occult and to issues of sexuality and emotional expression.  You are a natural researcher and need time alone each day.

Jupiter in 8th house Unafflicted

You have a rich and meaningful personal life.  Your emotional expression is very important to you although it may be quite a private issue.  You have a good mind and heart for basic social causes.  You work well in some capacity for social change.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

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

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO VENUS

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

JUPITER IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

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

JUPITER OPPOSITION YOUR SATURN

Your values shift ground at least a few times in life.  These changes in values are complete 180 degree shifts in perception as to what is important to you in life, or in how to correctly obtain or achieve your perceived "good" in life.  You may find when you change values or approaches to a goal, that you have moved from one extreme to another (sometimes even its opposite). When this occurs, your life may lack growth or forward momentum. If this is the case, compromise is necessary in order to obtain peace of mind.

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 LIBRA

You are afraid of being stuck in a relationship.  Not that you are afraid of commitment or responsibility; it's just that you don't want the passion and the intense involvement that goes with it.  You are good with people and want to be with them and to help them.  You are a real service to others.  As you get older, your natural diplomacy and impartial judgment brings you a critical position of trust.  You may be perceived as insincere in youth because your level of detachment is taken to mean you don't care, but you really do.  It eventually shows.

Saturn in 2nd house

You have a restricted picture of yourself and of what you can accomplish.  You work hard to accumulate worldly goods.  You may often worry about money regardless of how much you have.

Saturn in 2nd house Unafflicted

Your hard work brings stable and consistent success.  Your conservative impulses make you a cautious planner and a good strategic investor with both your time and money.

SATURN TRINE YOUR NEPTUNE

Steady, concentrated psychic perceptions of the future blends comfortably and unassumingly with every aspect of your nature. When you follow the bedrock of your own inner perceptions and feelings without any contradictions, success is assured.  You have an ability to be on the cutting edge of any cultural wave. Good dramatic instincts add flavor to your self expression.

SATURN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You are a good manager and a solid planner.  Your instincts are conservative and you know how to make the most out of your natural temperament.  You are disciplined and see ways to make the most of your situation and position in life.  Other people are a great help to you only when you are putting your best foot forward.  A position of authority and responsibility comes to you eventually in life.

SATURN TRINE YOUR PLUTO

You are the great economist, making the most of every situation. Circumstances that will be luckiest for you will develop slowly over a long period of time.  You are self-reliant, resourceful and cautious. As a planner you are hard to beat.  Deep changes occur in the core of your personality by being in touch with and fulfilling your obligations.

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 3rd house

You have a unique manner of expression and an independent and inventive mind.  You stay active and like to travel.  Your driving skills may seem very erratic to others.  You should be careful that you always keep your attention on what you are doing while in a position of trust, as when you are driving.

Uranus in 3rd house Unafflicted

You seem to create success by darting back and forth in a completely unique and unrepeatable fashion.  There is a spontaneous quality to your method and a uniqueness to your thought processes that others find enjoyable.

URANUS IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have Uranus in aspect to the Sun showing that you are a freedom lover at heart and this forms a central feature of your personality. This aspect of your nature is explained in Section II.  The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

URANUS IN ASPECT TO MERCURY

You have Uranus in aspect to Mercury.  Your Mental attitudes express your quest for freedom.  This is explained in Section IV. Mercury -Your Mental 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 GEMINI

You have an innate belief in ideas to make a difference in people's lives.  The higher mind becomes totally inspiring to you if you have any acquaintance with it consciously.

Neptune in 10th house

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

Neptune in 10th house Unafflicted

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

NEPTUNE CONJUNCT PLUTO

You innermost thoughts are focused on the great beyond and the process for personal and cultural growth.  All too easily, you can become involved in projects that will take years or centuries to complete. You have a gentle side to your nature and think in terms of the social effect that your actions will have.

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 GEMINI

You are inventive and intelligent at your best.  You will try on a hundred hats looking for the right one.  At worst, you avoid being tied down at all cost.

Pluto in 10th house

You are drawn to any situation that is heavily stratified.  You have an inner magnet pulling you toward a position of authority. You expect career to be a calling which is all-consuming.  This elevated vision of what career should be will make your actual career fairly boring until you are swept up into something in which you can incinerate.  You expect career to completely transform your deepest soul properties.  If it does, I hope you are lucky enough to see how this has happened so that you consciously embrace your destiny.  You have long plateaus (or flat places) in career and then sudden twists of fate bring advancements or set backs.

Pluto in 10th house Unafflicted

You have the unique ability to network all of your wholesome personality ingredients together into a central pillar of strength and confidence.  Somehow, you know instinctively how to keep putting one foot in front of the other, oblivious to your own fear and pain, when in pursuit of a goal.

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 TRINE.

You like to do things in a big way.  You are optimistic and expect to win.  Your positive attitude and general long range view in life gives you the best possible chance to make something good come from your various talents.  Even setbacks look like an opportunity to grow.  Your ability to avoid difficulty seems like luck to others while it is a natural and obvious skill to you. Your keyword is Enthusiasm.

     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.

Sun in the Fifth House.

Your talent for self-expression is a great asset.  You put your best foot forward when you are creating something.  Whenever life stagnates ask yourself if you are having any fun with what you are doing.  Often you are able to improve circumstances by simply demanding more enjoyment out of life.

Mars in Aries.

Energy is your secret key to success.  Your quick responses to changes in circumstances and hard-hitting attitudes that uphold your desires bring you victory.  Being impulsive works for you.

Mars in the Eighth House.

You have a natural attraction to life's mysteries and you grow in life by planting your seeds, then being patient and waiting for the harvest. Digging into your own nature and being self observant brings you more energy and pure applications.

Saturn in Libra.

You understand people and take obligations and promises very seriously. Others come to rely on you.  Relationships create clarity.  You hold high ideals.

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.

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.

Neptune in the Tenth House

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

     D.  THE GROWTH ASPECTS

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

Sun Semi-Sextile Venus

The quest for beauty can lead you away from a path of personal development.  This is because the object of your search in life seems to you to be substantially different from what you find as your own inner resource.  Through self observation you come to realize that it is the beauty in you that perceives the beauty in the world.  True progress for you can be won through achieving a balance between your own inner drives and what you see in other people that you judge as significantly different from what you find in yourself.

Mars in Growth Aspect to Uranus

Periodic changes in direction seem to emerge from within you without forethought.  Your energy is linked to your urge for freedom in a way that can open up new doorways and new procedures to you.  As long as you treat interruptions as frustrating annoyances it is impossible for you to move forward in a way that is growth oriented.  Your challenge is to see abrupt changes that occur every so often as an opportunity to get in touch with a deeper more profound side of your nature.

Mars Quincunx Uranus

You want something different than the rest of society and this in itself is neutral.  Your frustrations can arise because your manner of expression of your unique desires cuts against the grain of what other people expect from you and your methods don't achieve your goals.  Slow down - your intensity and drive can leave you drained without getting you closer to your goals.  Only when you are able to hold to a course of action for a long time are you able to get results.  Your attempt at "quick wins" always requires you to start over.

Saturn in Growth aspect to Uranus

Feelings of limitation can stop you from expressing the newer insights that occur to you every so often.  The struggle that you go through in life will often center around your fears of being left out of activities that you see others participating in.  You will have to reevaluate your feelings of responsibility every so often to overcome the feeling of self denial that you put yourself through.  Growth often comes by getting down to the roots of your personal insecurity and self limiting behavior.

Saturn Semi-Sextile Uranus

You can suffer in life by hiding your greatest forms of self expression from others.  Don't withhold the emerging thoughts and inspirations within you.  Be willing to go through the pattern of correction required by your conflicting desires.  You can find a way to express and fulfill both your urge for freedom and your need for security during the process of self discovery.

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 Quincunx Neptune

You feel strongly that you need to do something for the less fortunate in life.  This is a wonderful sentiment, but it can either lead you to "stewing" in your empathy for humanity (making you less effective than you would be otherwise) or, becoming completely cut off from your deeper feelings.  In either case you will need to find some mode for expressing your desire to see a better world, without leading yourself into an intellectual or emotional blind alley.  Balance and consistent exertion for your mind and heart on problems both personal and universal is the path to growth.

Uranus in Growth aspect to Pluto

You feel at the mercy of circumstances in life.  Sudden changes seem difficult to foresee and hard to plan for.  Your responses to change range the gamut from sharp overreaction to numbness. You are able to use change as a procedure of growth when you see that changes are a direct personal extension of a collision between where you have been in the past to where you wish to be in the future.

Uranus Quincunx Pluto

It is important for you to realize how much energy you put into each project.  The deeper levels of your consciousness conceal how much of your efforts get focused on your long range goals which run counter to the culture that you live in.  Seeing what your energy really focuses on and embracing this end result, is a possible path for personal growth.

     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 Mercury

You place great importance on the mental faculty but you may yourself be quite nervous and temperamental.  Fixing the  worlds' problems starts with fixing your own physical and psychological instability. Once this is completed you are able to offer others a clarity of vision that is quite helpful in sorting out the details of normal cause and effect in your life and in the lives of others.

Sun Parallel Venus

A feeling of love and beauty fill you at some deep level and you are able to translate this into positive expectations about the future. You possess a sweetness and have a knack for creating harmony.

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.

Neptune Parallel Midheaven

You have a big picture of what your career can mean to you. Taking your insights for granted you have a natural feeling of where society is going to go next.  Emotional security and an active home life is instinctive and necessary to your creative stability.

Pluto Parallel Ascendant

You have tremendous tenacity of purpose underlying your personality. When forced into an uncomfortable position by life circumstances you are capable of holding out for a point of view or a position in life that is out of step with outer circumstances for a very long time. You have extra energy when an emergency strikes, but, you may need much practice to be able to access this inner force at will or even when you feel you need it.

Mars Contra-Parallel Saturn

You struggle deeply to get your manner of self-expression correct in life.  It may take some self analysis before you realize that you place the barriers and limitations in your own path.  As you learn how much is enough and become at ease with yourself this can be an incredibly productive life where you do a lot and seem to be in control of your own destiny.

     F.  YOUR KARMIC DIRECTION

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

North Node of the Moon in Taurus

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

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

You have a great need for people but you only recognize the aspects of other people that fulfill your emotional needs.  You sexualize relationships.  Your life is better, happier and more fulfilling when you explore new options and spend time by yourself sorting out your personal values.  Mentally compulsive, you reexamine your interactions with others, but life is better by being firm, matter-of-fact and spontaneous.  Be more empirical and less dogmatic.  Avoid belittling others as this habit is just a by-product of your mental insecurity. Whenever you get angry or upset you should ask yourself "does it matter?"
