SECTION I.  The Structure and Intent of Your Life.

There are four items of general interest that we want to take up here in Section I: A) Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis, B) Elements and Modes, C) The Ascendant and Midheaven, and D) The Conjunctions.  These four categories give us an intelligent overview of how you structure personal experience and what you aim for in life.  This general patterning gives us a context to understand the specific personal meaning of the material in Sections 2 through 11.

     A.  Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis

The different areas of life are laid out in the horoscope by spatial territories called houses.  These areas of life show interests and general involvements for each person.  These areas can be grouped together for a vast overview of most basic inclinations of the person. The most useful general groupings of houses is into hemispheres and quadrants.  Emphasis in a hemisphere or quadrant shows a particularly strong focus toward life from that perspective.

          1. Hemisphere

The horoscope can be split into 2 equal parts, either horizontally (giving us the upper and lower hemispheres) or vertically (giving  us the right and left hemispheres).  The Upper Hemisphere shows the outer, more extroverted side of the personality, the Lower Hemisphere shows the more introverted and hidden side of the personality.  In the Left Hemisphere planets are rising and this shows action.  In the Right Hemisphere planets are setting and this shows reaction.

Most planets Below the Horizon

You have the majority of your planets below the horizon showing that you need time each day in isolation in order to recharge your batteries. You have a personal approach to life, preferring to work with people more than things and needing contact with the familiar in order to feel secure.

Most Planets Rising

You have the majority of your planets on the eastern half (or left-hand side) of your chart showing that you take great pains to be sure that you are free to act as you wish in life. Freedom of movement and expression are important to you. You have a strong feeling that you make your own destiny.

2. Quadrant

The two ways of splitting the horoscope into hemispheres can be applied simultaneously giving us four quadrants. The FIRST is called the quadrant of personality. The SECOND is called the quadrant of the environment. The THIRD is called the quadrant of relationship. The FOURTH is called the quadrant of service.

Most Planets in the First Quadrant

You have the majority of your planets in the first quadrant showing you will seek a lot of life experience to enhance you and develop your sense of selfhood. Your own personality and its uniquenesses and intricacies are the major focus of life experience for you.

B. Elements and Modes

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

1. Elements

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

Fire

You have 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

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 just 20% of your chart in the air element. You have a magic blend in the air element. You have an ever-active intellect. Your eye is always looking, your mind is always attempting to grasp more and more information. You don't feel confident in what you know. This lack of confidence prompts you to keep on task with the learning process. You never relax on the subject of gathering new information. In the long run, you become quite scholarly in life, out-performing most others in the mental realm.

Water

Pluto is your only water planet. Consequently you have just 10% of your chart in the water element. Developing a meaningful personal life requires you to go to the depths of your being and transform some unspoken suppositions. Years of your life can go by before recognizing that you are not as in touch with your feelings as you would like to be. You see this as an area to be improved on and work hard to get a more meaningful empathetic flow in your 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 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.

SCORPIO RISING

Let's face it, you're intense. You have boundless energy and employ it freely on any task at hand. You need to be discriminating so that your efforts come to something. You have difficulty changing course once you set sail, so make sure you are heading in the right direction before you set sail. Others never really know you and a certain "loner" quality is within you. This doesn't have to be lonely. You are always fighting battles within your own soul that keep you preoccupied with your inner qualities. You are secretive by inclination. You hold your thoughts as precious and useful to you alone. When you do wish to take someone into your inner life, words fail to describe your true inner feelings. Strange as it may seem, you place a high value on relationships. You go out of your way to bring them about and to maintain them. Still, at your heart space, your marriage partner looking into your eyes has the distinct feeling of looking into "one way mirrors". Your emotional inner sanctuary is so private, it is only rarely that you let even yourself in.

Venus Square the Ascendant

Art and beauty are important to you. These ingredients will be important to many people that you find as significant in your life. Still, it is easy for you to find yourself in an adversarial position with others as you will often disagree over matters of taste and style. Many lessons in life are learned as you are exposed to people with different tastes than your own. Your opportunities to grow are massive if you keep reaching for a higher synthesis.

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 Quincunx the Ascendant

The river of life is full and you have a contribution to make. Self clarification comes easiest to you when you are able to see how you fit in with the needs of the culture. Careful observation of how others express themselves and consistency of purpose help you achieve the happiness and feeling of genuineness that you want and deserve.

Saturn Semi-Square the Ascendant

You can be self-disciplined and self-defining but need to watch your tendency to complain. You can work very hard and be disappointed with the results. Little details not falling into place for you can show a poor sense of timing or some underlying disorganization. Relax and get the big picture in mind so that you handle the details of living easier, rather than getting lost in the details or tied up in worry. However you appear to others, your sense of duty is powered by a deep shyness that you wish to cover up. When you have the right perception of life and the right goals in mind, your abilities at the technical and practical level help you get what you want and deserve.

Uranus Semi-Square the Ascendant

You have a way with people. You are hard for people to keep up with because you switch directions and a course of action with no forewarning. Personal freedom is so important to you that you let nothing get in the way of your exercising it. When this creative quality is integrated into your personality you do much to elevate other people's lives.

Neptune Sextile the Ascendant

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

Pluto 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.

LEO MIDHEAVEN

You assume that career will look natural on you. Whatever your social station is, you have high expectations for yourself. You have a period of wandering in career, but when you really get involved with something, you can be deeply committed. Your endurance alone tends to bring you positive results. Your loyalty to people, ideas, and social structures are usually rewarded in some way.

Sun Semi-Square Midheaven

You make your mark on the world and on others. You may have some struggles coming to terms with your responsibilities. This stumbling block may have to be confronted a few times before you get your direction of achievement clearly demarcated. You do make your way in life. Your personality is painted in bold colors.

Venus Applying Conjunction to Midheaven and unafflicted.

You like beauty. You are most productive in career when you are working with women, art and music, and situations that create harmony. You like doing things that promote peace and understanding.

Mars Trine Midheaven

You have a large amount of extra energy to put into your career. You execute your plans swiftly. You are good at being able to spot an opportunity and to capitalize on it. You work well by yourself or in a position of leadership and generally, you find your niche.

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.

Uranus Sesquiquadrate Midheaven

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

Neptune Quincunx the Midheaven

The vision of culture and your picture of your own contribution to it through career and social station color everything that you do. Correct self appraisal doesn't come easy for you. But, this is required in order to cross the gulf from being an isolated lover of beauty to being a genuine social activist. In the long run you are happiest if you are able to participate in large institutional activities and still have a place to withdraw into your private world.

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.

Saturn Conjunct Uranus

Think of Sections VIII. SATURN - Your obligations, and IX. URANUS -Your search for freedom, as a single unit. This Conjunction represents an inner emotional tension that either strengthens or weakens your life depending on how it is integrated into the rest of your personality. In either case, this principle is a central feature of 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 VIRGO

You want the world to be perfect. You expect perfection from yourself. You are good at analyzing and rendering conscientious and systematic service in an honest and impartial way. You are so critical and seemingly unemotional that others may dislike you or at least feel you are very boring. You do lack imagination and tend to be somewhat of a "grind", but when it really matters you are there and can be relied upon. You are an exacting and responsible craftsman. When you become truly tolerant and less self-critical, your vision of life expands. Then, you enjoy life rather than just exist and produce in it.

Sun in 11th house

You are a good long-distance planner. Your perceptions of life's intricacies are not limited to your own situation. You are social and outgoing. In business as well as in sports you are a good team player. In your personal life you may be too detached with ideas and moods which run quite tangent to the norm. Be sure you are expressing your true feelings.

Sun in 11th house Unafflicted

You know how to use your natural friends and allies in a way that builds toward mutual success. You have a propensity for building on solid unimpeachable foundations which become part of a process of social change. Your keen perception of what is better is balanced against society's ability to change. You are unencumbered with most social prejudices.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MOON

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

SUN TRINE YOUR MOON

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

SUN SEMI-SQUARE VENUS

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

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

You are energetic and brave but sometimes too impulsive or rash. You hurt yourself and others at times through outbursts of temper. You can back a losing cause at times, throwing good energy after bad. You do this because you view your goals through a desire-incrusted lens which distorts your vision or because you mis-evaluate your own power, or both. You can guard against this tendency by learning to draw conclusions from all of life rather than just your own immediate wants. You are naturally powerful but need to guard against the tendency to run over others.

SUN OPPOSITION YOUR MARS

You are strong, energetic, and very competitive. When you face that you are defensive, fearing others will hurt you, life changes. Then you are on your way out from patterns of mean spirited reactiveness. Cruelty and pettiness creates self defeating struggles where feelings get so "out of bounds" no one is happy. Properly handled and understood, your abundant energy guarantees success.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

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

SUN TRINE YOUR JUPITER

OK, you are genuinely lucky. Others want to hop on your "bandwagon" when you move toward a goal. You have the ability to turn one win into another, creating incredible momentum. You know how to create enthusiasm and excitement for any project while at the same time having fun.

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 URANUS

You have a strong will, an abrupt manner, and a highly original form of self-expression. You need to be careful that your basically iconoclastic nature doesn't end up separating you artificially from others. Your need for freedom, independence, and uniqueness plays havoc with your life in youth but becomes more a force for progressive change as you get older. You love the dramatic and are a true romantic. You have a major lesson in life: to gain freedom through responsibility rather than freedom from responsibility. Once learned, relationships and projects become much more stable.

SUN SQUARE YOUR URANUS

You are stubborn and rebellious with a powerful drive for personal freedom at all cost. You are quite creative but unstable. The adventuresome spirit is always part of your nature, but your iconoclastic spirit mellows into humanitarianism as you age. Your thirst for new experiences can have you leaping from situation to situation until you become disciplined.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

SUN SEMI-SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

Your environment doesn't seem to give you the reinforcement and information you need. You are forced to be inventive in order to complete tasks you undertake. Indecisiveness and stubbornness can stop you from making the most of every opportunity. Learning to be definite without being controlling frees vast amounts of energy for you.


SECTION III. The MOON - Your Personal Life.

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

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

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

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

MOON IN CAPRICORN

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

Moon in 3rd house

You have deep emotional connections to your early childhood. Your memory is keen, your mind is versatile and you feel comfortable in an environment where learning is valued.

Moon in 3rd house Unafflicted

Your friends and acquaintances think of you as a good communicator. You can be very good at arbitration because you naturally empathize with several points of view. Part of you always stays childlike and attached to the pleasant memories from your early childhood.

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 HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MERCURY

You have a restless mind and a lively imagination. You learn quickly because you can imitate what you see others do. It is possible to become over-sensitive to the environment and to make changes that are unnecessary through excessive imagination, worry, and slipshod, careless methodology. Your interest in communicating your ideas and perceptions to others often needs to be slowed down a little. Strive to make your information gathering and study habits stable and regular.

MOON SQUARE YOUR MERCURY

You are clever and able to explain yourself well, regardless of the situation. Your wit can be quite biting and sarcastic. Your ability to explain a situation verbally is not always based on any real understanding. Actually, your penetration into a subject can be quite superficial. You grow more in your own understanding when you look for long term results and look less to the acceptance of your expressions.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You may suffer from pretending to be something that you are not. Avoid overstatement and exaggeration. Arrogance can stop you from correcting yourself when you are in an untenable position. Don't take yourself or life too seriously and you will find a lighthearted sense of humor that will ease your difficulties. See self-indulgence as an enemy to be avoided and luck will find you.

MOON SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR JUPITER

You feel opportunity coming from a long ways off. You are a natural at timing your luck, but you can end up with position, power, and material things only to discover you've left friends and family years behind and in another country. Make sure you evaluate personal sacrifices before you take advantage of new opportunities.


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 LIBRA

Your mind is on a quest for perfection, harmony and beauty. You are rational and fond of comparison. You look for justice. You want the right answer, the right inflection and the right emphasis. When you speak, others will see you are incredibly polished and persuasive. Be careful you don't end up as some oily, back-bending huckster bent on selling through flattery. Have a position of your own and assert it up front, as diplomatically as possible. When circumstances aren't to your liking, you make premeditated adjustments for the effect. They can be superficial or even insincere. You are easily led astray because your mind is open to all points of view. Translate this into a higher intuition; then, your open, balanced fair-mindedness wins you respect from others and many good friends.

Mercury in 12th house

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

Mercury in 12th house Unafflicted

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

MERCURY IN ASPECT TO THE 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 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 SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR JUPITER

You stay in constant motion both in your mind and on the earth. You are always putting your goals, beliefs, and values, out in front of yourself, then trying to live them. This stretches you beyond your actual foundations. Your high aims keep you in motion as you attempt to materialize your thoughts.

MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You are prone to abrupt but passing infatuations. As you get older, you learn to not act immediately on your attractions.

VENUS SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR URANUS

The landscape of your emotional life can be dotted with people that you have loved and left behind. You are a romantic adventurer. Your love life can be compelling, but, it isn't until you become stable and find a creative venue for your intense desire for freedom that you have lasting love relationships.

VENUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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.

You need to be less concerned with how you appear to others and more concerned with how you are.

VENUS SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

Your extremes of emotion and expression stop you from being able to get what you are attracted to.

This is because you have an innate belief that knowledge can solve all problems that emerge in life. You try to relate all factors that come to you to everything else that you know about. As a consequence, you develop great mental versatility and acquire skill at verbal expression. Your love of novelty may lead your energy in too many directions at once. The big difficulty in life for you is to be spread so thin that you have no closure on any subject. Make sure your knowledge of a subject is not so general as to be superficial.

Jupiter in 7th house

You expect to experience fun, joy and excitement with other people. You expect that others will give you the best they have to give. You may marry several times or just have a lot of fun and adventure with your spouse.

SATURN IN SAGITTARIUS

You are motivated by a fear of being restricted or held back. You are independent and ostentatious. You have a strong need to gain some recognition for your intellectual achievement. This is hard to accomplish partly because you are really quite cynical and this stops you from getting a really fair hearing at times.

Your growth through time keeps shaping your values which are powered by your positive self-perception. You grow through failure as much as by success.

SATURN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You have some deep fears that color your perceptions of what is possible in life. Your negative attitudes toward yourself and life create real problems for you getting to your goals. You may attract anger or violence from others as a by-product of your fears, or express your own, as frustration and blocks bubble over. You have a tendency to "block out" anything that you fear and can't control. Courage and persistency of effort eventually bring an easier pattern in life.

SATURN SEMI-SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

Fear of change can lock you into a pattern of continuing uncomfortableness and irritation. Learn to see the environmental and circumstantial limitations as necessary. Then, you are able to find new directions to your goals. Hard mental work can be depleting so learn to pace yourself.


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 SAGITTARIUS

Your uniqueness comes out through a higher insight of the world. You have a pioneering spirit and a desire for knowledge. Your life takes off when your ideas are grounded in well-developed facts. This comes later in life.

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

URANUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

URANUS SEMI-SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

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


SECTION X. NEPTUNE - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals.

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

NEPTUNE IN CAPRICORN

You have faith in perfection and see the world as being as it should be. This is depressing from a humanitarian view point, but spiritually you understand in a very primary way that we all, society included, reap what we have sown. And that is perfect. In this sense, you are conservative.

Neptune in 2nd house

When you believe that you have plenty of worldly resources, money comes to you steadily. As soon as you worry about money, a problem develops. Have faith and the situation always stays healthy.

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 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 SCORPIO

You are very resourceful and penetrating at best. You truly long for regeneration. Regeneration requires intense work on your own inner nature. It is easier to turn your great force on others. At your worst, you are autocratic and ruthless. This side of your nature is transformed as soon as you start experiencing personal growth as pleasurable.

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 SEMI-SQUARE.

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

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.

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.

Pluto in Scorpio.

Your commitment to change is so very fundamental that you are willing to start with yourself. You have the ability to put 100% into everything you do.

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.

Sun in the Eleventh House

You have great interest in people and often experience joy through other people's accomplishments. It is difficult to get to the root of your own needs because your life is so wrapped up in others. It is best to make sure that you spend enough time by yourself to see who you are.

Moon in Capricorn

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

Mercury in the Twelfth House

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

Jupiter in Gemini

Your values are shortsighted and your "devil-may-care" approach to life may get you in trouble if you don't restrain your inclination to get involved with new projects. You must develop the habit of taking stock of the long view before jumping into something that will give you new responsibilities while leaving prior commitments unfinished. You do well when you complete your current project before taking on a new one.

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.

Neptune in Capricorn

You don't recognize an ideal unless it has the ability to produce some tangible, measurable result. Your life improves dramatically when you search out and promote ideals that you honestly feel are good for all people regardless of whether or not it benefits you directly or not.

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.

Moon in Growth Aspect to Saturn

Confusion over your personal worth, identity or responsibility can create difficulty with career achievement and emotional connections. A long developmental process of trial and error can help you overcome your shyness and help you form a more productive picture of yourself.

Moon Semi-Sextile Saturn

Your desire to nurture and take care of others gets stronger as you get older. Overcoming self imposed barriers gradually helps you bond with others in a way that allows the finer, more genuine, less defensive side of your personality emerge.

Moon in Growth Aspect to Uranus

A certain underlying erratic action can prevent you from being as productive with your energy as you would like. You will need to develop meaningful outlets for your nervous temperament while learning to integrate the spontaneous side of your nature in a positive way with the more pensive and more traditional sides of your personality.

Moon Semi-Sextile Uranus

Your self picture may not include the more dramatically innovative thrust that emerges periodically from your unconscious mind. There is a certain panache or "twist" that you place on your actions, sometimes at the last minute. Your uniqueness and sense of individuality finds expression in this way. Through focusing on this process you are able to stabilize its function and have it be more useful in your life.

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 Quincunx Pluto

You suffer by having a picture of just what needs to be done and how it is to be accomplished. This can cause you to be controlling and argumentative. When you feel the weight of the responsibilities that you have taken on or when you feel lonely and isolated, then, you are ripe for personal growth. Your desire, manner of expression, and the way you use energy will have to be changed - to be less compulsive, less forceful, so you are able to achieve greater accomplishment and more personal happiness.

Jupiter in Growth aspect to Neptune

You are sitting on a "gold mine" of opportunity. The problems of using this opportunity correctly is to require you to form better judgments in order to see more accurately the gift of optimism and long range planning that are potentially the underpinning of your judgments. The gentle side of your nature can lead to escapism, which stops you from moving forward in life. For your ideals to manifest they must be tested in the material world. This is the path of value unfoldment for you. Be empirical.

Jupiter Quincunx Neptune

The imaginative and humanitarian side of your nature needs lots of exercise in a "trial and error" manner before you are able to get your best skills to emerge in a way that is non-intrusive and can elicit the best qualities in others. The artistic side of your nature may seek a manner of expression that allows you to stay behind the scenes so you do not have to climb the learning curve required to interface directly with the public.

Jupiter in Growth aspect to Pluto

It takes a long time for you to get the proper balance between theory and practice, between value and implementation. How you treat other people and their various ideas will be the key to finding positive expression and deeper satisfaction. Any of your "shortcuts" that are perceived as high-handed or manipulative will be your undoing. Trust the innate guiding force, the common sense intelligence in other people to help you build consensus.

Jupiter Quincunx Pluto

Your overly self-secure mode of interacting disguises some deep distrust of your own foundations. Behind your flamboyance and manipulative assertions are some profound insecurities. When you come to terms with your own weaknesses and see them as not so profound or bad, you will simultaneously become more open and acknowledging of other people's values and points of view. This lays the foundation to use your vast insight and expanse of vision in a positive manner.

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.

Saturn Parallel Neptune

You have more difficulties than most people seeing your true obligations but, you have involvement with some transcendent moral code. You may not always be correct in your assessment of what you need to do in life and you may have a rather cold detachment. You need to be very clear as to your emotional needs and how to fulfill them. This gives your life context and allows you to correctly channel your rather powerful and imposing energy toward positive results.

Sun Contra-Parallel Pluto

A certain potency underlies all of your relationships. When you are involved with anyone you bring a lot of hidden expectations to any interaction. Emotional transformation is so important to you it will subtly drive your selection of projects and will power you through the details of every mission leading you to your distant and far reaching goals.

Venus Contra-Parallel Ascendant

You have the ability to create harmony and your basic artistic vision colors your interactions with others. You have a social side of your personality and have the capacity for genuine graciousness. A passive quality can contribute to you spending time resting on your past accomplishments. Stay energized and self regulating without relying on others for your motivation, then you are most successful.

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 Pisces

Growth comes by expanding your faith in positive spiritual principles of living. Your natural inclination is to analyze and label everything; matter of fact, you over-analyze. You need to grow beyond this trait through developing trust in the inherent goodness of the way things happen. Human relationships improve through believing in people and seeing their positive attributes. As you augment the ideal factors in your dealings with others you become more emotionally satisfied with your own life.

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

You grow in consciousness by addressing your emotions and family. You're easily imprisoned in past patterns of rigid compliance with your self-created rules and the administering of self-assumed responsibilities.

                               THE  ASPECTS

                  ***Basic classification of aspects***

Hard or difficult aspects.  - Semi-square, Square, Sesquiquadrate, and Opposition.  These are the aspects that help us recognize the ingredients in our personality that need changing.

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

Growth aspects.  - Semi-sextiles and quincunx.  These are aspects that give us opportunity to grow.  They indicate long term development of some key aspect of your personality and behavior for this life time.

Power aspects.  - Conjunctions, Parallels, and Contra-parallels. These are the aspects that show energy, force, reorganization and transformational ability.

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

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

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

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