Introduction
The report that you are about to read is a first step in decoding the symbolic language of your birth chart. It explains the raw materials that you have been given for building a life. It outlines how the overall shape of your chart reflects the overall shape of your personality, what your greatest challenges are likely to be, the strengths you have been given to meet these challenges, and the main arenas you are given for playing out your life’s drama.

In this report you may notice certain places where the information seems to be contradictory. This is to be expected, because people are complex. For example, in some situations we are shy and in others, aggressive. When you see repeated patterns, though, take special note: these are apt to be the dominant themes in your life.

The Main Emphasis in Your Chart
The general distribution of planets around you at your birth is one of the things that shows the overall shape of your personality. Before taking a closer look at the details, let’s stand back for a moment to see whether your chart contains any obvious emphasis in a sign, group of signs, or other division of the horoscope wheel.

Most planets are below the horizon.
Your personal sense of identity is very important to you. Who you are and where you have come from are constant sources of interest to you. Your understanding of your cultural heritage and family roots will help you to determine your direction and goals in life. You feel that answers to important questions can best be found within, rather than in the outer world or in a relationship. Self-awareness and self-composure allow you to be self-assured in your career and relationships.

Most planets are in the western half of the chart.
You love interacting with others, and delight in experiencing life in a social setting. The challenge of working out the intricacies and problems posed in relationships gives you a feeling of enormous satisfaction, especially when things work out in a positive manner. To be sure, seeing life through the eyes of others is a rare gift. Just take care that someone else’s personality does not dominate you in such a way that you cannot grow and express your own self.

Most planets are above the horizon.
You tend to identify who you are with what you have accomplished in the world. This may make you highly competitive in establishing yourself within a definable lifestyle or career. Your trophy case or the diplomas on your wall may be a source of great personal satisfaction. It is important to balance your need for outer-world-accomplishments with care for your inner self. Also, take great care not to lose sight of the needs of your loved ones.

There are many planets in Earth signs
Having so very many planets in Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn, you tend to be the soul of practicality and pragmatism. You prefer to deal with tangible things that you can touch, see or hear, and like to live in a world where things are measurable and there are no abstractions. You also like to work with the present moment, the here and now, especially if it creates a lasting outcome or is connected to a past. You may have to guard against a tendency to be overly conservative, cautious or narrow-minded.

Stability is your great strength. You can be counted on when things get crazy around you, because you generally don’t engage in knee-jerk reactions. Instead, you prefer to allow things to happen, and then you react in your own time. You initiate matters only when they aren’t proceeding in the direction that you expect. Because you tend to be passive, you need external stimuli to get you going.

Very fertile, you enjoy producing things of substance, from children to business reports. You are not, however, overly nurturing. You generally prepare the ground, plant the seeds and then walk away until harvest time. If the seed needs continual care and attention to grow to its fullest potential, you may or may not intervene. If you do offer assistance, it tends to be for the material, rather than the emotional, needs of whatever you are nurturing.

There are few or no planets in Cardinal signs.
With such a marked lack of emphasis in signs like Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, you are probably not the aggressive leader type, and you would tend to shun such positions anyway. Do not feel bad about this, because you are the one who can be counted on either to keep things stable when times are tough, or to move with the changing tides when necessary. You prefer tried and true pathways, and would just as soon leave the pioneering to others.

There are many planets in Fixed signs.
Your strong emphasis in signs like Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius gives you the persistence to bring any project to its conclusion. You are the one who can be counted on to do whatever must be done. A preserver of old traditions and customs, you know that forward progress can occur only if there is a firm foundation to begin with. You are glad to build that foundation. Be aware, however, that others may sometimes view your noble persistence as stubbornness, cussedness or pigheadedness.

There are many planets in Mutable signs.
Your chart’s strong emphasis in signs like Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces makes you tend to be extremely flexible. When the situation demands that you change in order to move forward, you can adapt and transform yourself with ease. You are not necessarily the pioneering type, but if change must happen, it is natural for you to glide along with the flow. At times, though, you feel that you are at the mercy of forces beyond your control, and are constantly being blown from pole to pole. This may make you feel nervous and anxious, but like everything else in your life, this, too, will pass.


Aspects: Keys to Your Inner Drama
In your birth chart, the Sun, Moon and planets play the central role. They are the actors in the drama, the moving figures on the stage, each with a character of its own. How these characters relate to each other, whether and how they clash or harmonize, whether they bring out each other’s best or worst qualities, is shown by the aspects, or angles, between the planets.

Is the ongoing drama between two planets a continuing tension that periodically erupts into crises (conjunctions, oppositions and squares), a harmonious alliance where the two planets aid and abet each other (trines and sextiles), an uneasy truce full of ambiguities (certain other aspects in neither of these families), or simply indifference (no aspect at all)? Below you will see which pairs of planets are in aspect in your chart.

Each of the following sections lists the aspects in order of their general importance, with aspects involving the Sun, Moon and fast-moving planets coming first. You can get a further idea of their importance in your particular chart by going to the aspect table at the beginning of this report and finding the five or so aspects with the smallest number of degrees and minutes in the “The orb is” column.

Your Major Challenges
We start with your conjunctions, oppositions and squares because these tend to point out the challenges that you have been set in life. Mose people experience these aspects as problems, at least at first. Armed with awareness, however, you can come to view these so-called “ hard” aspects as the blessings that they really are. These are the forces that spur you forward. When you face the challenges that these aspects pose, you grow in strength, confidence, wisdom and maturity.

Sun square Jupiter
“High Hopes” is your anthem. You have big ideas, especially about yourself and what you can accomplish in this world. Your successes will be spectacular and so will your defeats, and you will have many of both. When life does not cooperate with your grand plans and schemes, your jovial optimism is usually enough to get you through. Your life is apt to go a lot smoother, however, if you try tempering your expansiveness with humility and your grandiosity with practicality. With just a bit of moderation, your energy and optimism will cheer others up instead of irritating them.

Sun square Saturn
It seems that you are constantly attracted to situations that demand that you assume more and more responsibility for yourself and others. While it may not seem like much fun, you do have the ability to respond well to these challenges and are indeed the best suited of those around you to be trusted with these weighty and serious matters. Even though the responsibilities and challenges seem never to end, carry on, because your patience and steadfastness will be appreciated in the long run.

Sun opposite Pluto
Once you have decided on a course of action in your relationships, business or career, you do not allow others to alter your choice. You proceed on your course like a bulldozer, clearing everything in your path. It is not your choice of what to pursue that gets you in trouble, but your method of getting there. If you choose to act in a brutal and compulsive manner, you may win, but you will encounter strong and violent opposition, and the battle may destroy much of what you were hoping to gain. Learn to temper your ambition with tact and humility, and the obstacles in your path will melt away.

Moon square Mars
Your moods are so changeable and you are so restless and full of energy that it can be difficult for others to deal with you on a regular basis. Since irritability and a tendency to argue do not make for pleasant companionship, you need to find some way to use up your prodigious energy in ways that will not be threatening to others. Sports or other vigorous activities can be an excellent outlet. Your temper is quick and explosive and you must learn to contain it. Because you tend to take action only after strong emotional input, try to seek out the advice of a respected and practical friend before you make major decisions.

Moon opposite Neptune
On the one hand, you want to care for others and have them comfort and care for you. On the other, you desire to make a noble, idealistic gesture on behalf of some worthy cause. The worst of this ongoing tension is that you often find yourself in the middle of relationships that make you the savior, the victim or the martyr. These relationships make you very uncomfortable. You feel that you are suffocating, and that you don’t know how to change things. Be aware that you do indeed have a choice in these matters. Do not feel sorry for yourself. Rejoice in the gift that you have to be compassionate and selfless.

Mercury square Uranus
Your quick, agile mind usually has no problem steering a correct path through the mountains of new and exciting information that you deal with as a normal part of your routine. But every now and then you try to do things too quickly, and foul-ups begin to occur, much to your embarrassment. Things seem to get scattered, and you become more and more nervous and frenzied. Learn to slow down just a bit. Your speed of comprehension far surpasses that of almost anyone else, so why worry about going into hyperdrive?

Mercury square Midheaven
Even though you spend a lot of time plotting and planning what you are going to do with your life, you only seem to be able to move ahead in fits and starts. This is because you get easily distracted and cannot always concentrate fully on the task at hand. Ideally you should be doing something that allows you to indulge your generalist interests, but since this is difficult to do, you will probably have to bite the bullet and learn a little self-discipline.

Jupiter conjunct Saturn
You have that rare combination of optimism and practicality that allows you to be cautious and idealistic at the same time. Because of this, your plans have a better chance of coming to fruition than do the plans of those who are overly conservative or who, at the other extreme, throw caution to the wind. This is an ideal attitude for a businessperson, but it can also be helpful in interpersonal relationships because it makes you steady and levelheaded, but not stodgy.

Jupiter square Pluto
You have such an enormous drive to be successful that you usually can marshal the resources and energy necessary to get you where you want to go. But, sometimes, you become so impatient to reach the goal that you lose all sense of tact and diplomacy and you become intolerant of the wishes and desires of others. When you try to bowl them over with less than ethical tactics, you find that you meet more and more resistance as you proceed. This, of course, is counterproductive. Learn to relax a little and others will not see you as so much of a threat.

Saturn square Pluto
Just when you think that you have regained control of your life and things are moving in the direction you want them to, forces that seem to be out of your control assert themselves and try to force you to make dramatic alterations in your life direction. Because you see these forces as a threat, you resist them with all your might. Learn to compromise a bit more. The changes that come to you are the result of deep inner needs and will ultimately prove beneficial, even though you may at first find them painful or inconvenient.

Uranus conjunct Midheaven
Do not try to make long-range plans with respect to traditional career or life goals, because it just will not happen that way! You are much too independent and outspoken to fit into a common mold. You love a challenge. Your path will become clear to you as you realize that you have chosen to attempt something that has never been tried before. Others will admire you for your decision to go it alone, but some (those who insist on doing things the “usual” way) will regard you as a threat and try to block you. That just comes with the territory.

Chiron conjunct Pluto
Your intense moods are, at times, difficult for others to absorb. Since sex and power both attract and frighten you, it is difficult not to get caught up in the excitement that they bring. In an attempt to unravel your deep, confusing emotions, you may spend hours of solitude contemplating life’s great mysteries. You will never be able to make sense of your fear, pain and anger unless you can face them head-on.


Your Sustaining Strengths
Trines and sextiles tend to work with a natural harmony that calls for little effort on your part. They show the things that you just seem naturally good at. Usually they point to the more positive parts of your nature, and act as support that you can call on in difficult times.

Because these aspects are so comfortable, they are not likely to push you to expand your limits or cause you to change. It is actually helpful to have a balance of hard aspects (like oppositions and squares) to stimulate you to grow, and soft aspects (trines and sextiles) to ease your passage and provide places to rest.

If you are blessed with a predominance of trines and sextiles, your life may tend to be placid and your nature serene. If so, remember that the world around you is probably sorely in need of these qualities that are yours to bestow.

Moon sextile Venus
You are known and loved for your gentle, caring and compassionate nature. You enjoy making others comfortable and go out of your way to make sure that the environment is peaceful and calm. Your grace, charm and fair-mindedness allow you to function in the role of pacifier and peacemaker. There is nothing that delights you more than reconciling two seemingly incompatible combatants.

Moon sextile Uranus
Your zest for life is boundless. You are eternally curious, especially when it comes to relationships. Because you are easily bored, you do not mind having many brief encounters — once the excitement is over, you get itchy feet. Your emotional life will never be dull, but its inherent turbulence could raise havoc on a settled lifestyle. As long as no one tries to put you into too narrow a mold, your unique, free- spirited attitude will prove to be a breath of fresh air to all with whom you come in contact.

Moon trine Chiron
Soft-spoken, gentle and loving, you have great ideas for beautifying the environment and keeping your neighborhood safe and clean. Your idea of fun consists of entertaining friends at home rather than spending a night on the town. Shy and reserved, you are at your best when sharing quiet moments with your family and a few close friends. You came from a loving home, and your mother probably doted on her children.

Venus trine Uranus
You find it difficult to stay in any one relationship very long, unless both of you happen to be very unconventional and very creative in always concocting new and exciting things to do together as a couple. Others may judge you as irresponsible and undependable, but you really must be this way in order to maintain your own sense of integrity — you must be free to “do your own thing.” Your flakiness and lack of respect for tradition make you very exciting to be around.

Venus trine Neptune
Relationships for you are the highest expression of your ideals of love and service. Once given, your love is undying and forever even when the object of your affection does not deserve it. Because you tend to fall in love with the idea of being in love, you often do not notice the reality of the very human and fallible person with whom you are trying to relate. For you, your Emperor (or Empress) always has new clothes.

Jupiter trine Ascendant.
You enjoy being with people. You have a jovial optimism about you that others admire. You are sincerely interested in the problems and concerns of those you meet and are willing to help them in most any way you can. You also may find yourself receiving beneficial support from a wealthy or influential person who takes an interest in you. Your strong moral fiber and tolerant and cheerful attitude make you stand out in a crowd.

Saturn trine Ascendant
You prefer the company of those who are either considerably older than yourself or considerably younger. The respect and distance demanded in these situations appeals to you since you tend to feel threatened in social situations that demand intimacy. Your fatherly concern for others allows you to function well in the role of teacher or advisor, probably because an older, respected person had an important and positive influence in determining your character as you grew up.

Uranus trine Neptune
You are known for your interest in metaphysics. Spiritual concerns are very real and important to you. Experiments in the alteration of consciousness, either through meditation, prayer, contemplation — or through the use of mind altering substances like drugs — are pursued because of your sincere desire to know what is “on the other side.” However, you do tend to wander from one set of ideas to the other and might benefit from the structure and discipline that a respected teacher would provide.

Neptune trine Midheaven
Although you are generally held in high esteem because of your sensitivity and caring, your lack of aggressiveness tends to limit you in your attempt to accomplish your life goals. Indeed, you tend to disregard your personal well-being to such an extent that the very process of deciding on a career objective may be very difficult for you. This may force you into being overly dependent on the goodwill and kindness of others.

Chiron sextile Neptune
Don’t try to conceal past mistakes. Honesty is always the best policy, since secrets and lies will usually come back to haunt you. Constant faith and devotion to a good cause gives you the strength to move forward. You are easily swayed, and often question your own convictions and opinions. As a result, you may appear unsure of yourself. When you learn to believe in yourself, it will be easier to maintain your opinions and beliefs.

Pluto sextile North Node
At some time in your life you will have far-flung interests that may even be global in nature. Your contacts and connections will become very important to you, and you’ll probably manage them quite well. You’ll have vast resources at your disposal and, because you’re usually a high-minded and civic-oriented person, you’ll use them in a way that will benefit not only yourself, but many others as well. As such, you’ll probably become a widely respected community or political leader, should you choose to become seriously involved in a “public” sort of lifestyle. You have the ability and means to influence the lives of many people.

Chiron sextile Midheaven
Being recognized by your peers for professional achievements is one of the driving forces of your life. To your credit, you learned the right formula for balancing your private activities with your career. You are flexible and may try different employment situations before finally finding the one that appeals to you. It may take some time to find the most suitable path, but once you do, you will forge ahead and make your mark on the world.


Rounding Out the Picture
Two other families of so-called “minor” aspects add yet more information about the way the planets relate to each other in your chart. Semisquares and sesquares (also known as sesquiquadrates) share the dynamic, crisis-prone nature of the square but need to be quite exact in order to be felt.

Semisextiles and quincunxes connect signs that are totally unrelated to each other. They can have an odd, unsettling quality, indicating problems or issues that it’s hard to get a grip on. They are like interesting puzzles that call for a creative solution.

Sun sesquare Neptune
You are very sensitive by nature and it is important that you get support from those around you. Your environment and, especially, any guide figures that you encounter should be strong and positive or you will likely develop feelings of weakness and inferiority that will cause you problems of self-image as you get older. You have a strongly creative imagination and should be encouraged in its development.

Moon semisextile Mercury
Very often you find that you cannot make a rational decision without becoming emotionally involved in it. Whenever you begin to weigh all the factors in any situation and judge them on their merits, you either allow your feelings to affect the final result or you get so emotional about the process that you cannot make a decision at all. This, of course, can be very frustrating because things seem to be beyond your control. The best way to handle this continuing problem is to make sure that you have ample time to change your mind before finalizing any serious or important decision. This will be difficult for you because you are usually so spontaneous about doing things. Also, seek the advice of an objective person when contemplating decisions that will alter your lifestyle.

Moon semisquare Jupiter
You have an expansive, confident and loving nature that makes you a joy to be around. People are naturally attracted to your bubbly exuberance. The main problem this can cause you is the tendency to think that you can get away with just about anything — and you usually can. But, at times, you just plain run out of strength (or gas or money or credit). At times like these, caution should become your watchword.

Moon semisquare Saturn
You have a cool, objective and taciturn approach to life. You are uncomfortable with situations that demand some kind of overt emotional response from you — some sort of spontaneity. But this is not your style — you prefer to make emotional decisions only after long and thoughtful deliberation, weighing all of the alternatives carefully. You would much rather be “right” than make a fool of yourself.

Mars sesquare Pluto
Once you have set a goal, your will power can be totally mobilized to see that you accomplish it. Your drive and ambition is so strong that you will tolerate no opposition to getting where you want to go. Be very careful not to step on too many toes on your way or you might unleash forces of resistance that require you to take a defensive position — this will delay the completion of your objectives. Try a little tact and diplomacy instead. Use your ability to convince others of the reasonableness of your position, but be subtle, not underhanded about it.

Pluto semisextile Ascendant
You have a great desire to have comfortable, easy relationships with those you care for. But often you find that others are trying to manipulate and control you against your wishes, or that you are doing the same to someone else. The intermittent crises and pitched battles that result are very upsetting to you — you would really rather that they did not occur. Try to compromise with others more, and, when the inevitable crises do occur, learn from them and, if at all possible, take steps to see that they don’t happen again.

North Node semisextile Ascendant
At times you notice a significant strain in your relationships with those in your home environment or with your colleagues on the job. When you feel that your privacy has been threatened, you often lash out at those you care for most — and then you prove to be quite difficult to be around. You notice this and it bothers you deeply, because you don’t know how to deal with it and you suspect that you are the cause of the tension around you. One sure thing that you can do is to make sure that you have a completely private place of your own to which you can retreat when things get edgy — and use it! That should allow you enough time to gather yourself together and recharge your batteries — and become more sociable.


Houses: Bringing the Planets Down to Earth
The positions of the planets in the zodiac, and the aspects between the planets, are nearly the same for everyone born on a given day. But the houses reflect how the planets were arranged around you and you alone, at a given hour and minute, and at a given place on Earth. Houses therefore personalize the planets, showing how they relate to your own particular life.

The meanings of the twelve houses echo those of the twelve zodiacal signs, but are more specific and concrete. For example, the second sign, Taurus, is much concerned with the material world, whereas the second house deals with your actual possessions: how you feel about them, and how you acquire them.

The house delineations that follow show how the affairs of each house are flavored by the sign that lies on its cusp. Since houses are sometimes larger than signs, a house may also have one or more signs completely enclosed or “intercepted” within it, in which case you will find additional material about the intercepted signs in a house. Most important, you will learn below in what areas of life the planets — the main actors in your drama — are disposed to be most active, and how the way each planet operates is influenced by both its house and its sign.

The first house focuses on the basic equipment that you have been given for interacting with the world: your body and your physical constitution, your face, your appearance, your personality, mannerisms and the way you present yourself. It may not be how you see yourself, but it is how others tend to perceive you, and you should be aware that it has an important effect on how you are accepted in social situations. Planets in the first house tend to be strong and “out-front,” especially when they are close to (that is, conjunct) your Ascendant.

Virgo on the First
You tend to be shy and not very self-assertive, possibly because you are supercritical about how you appear to others. Even though you may think you are uninteresting and dull, you are actually soft-spoken, orderly, neat and very likable. You have a crisp, no-nonsense approach to dealing with others. A perfectionist with high standards, you may, however, run the danger of being tactless in pointing out their faults. Very practical, efficient and purposeful, your appearance and bearing reflect your need to appear graceful, sensible and reserved. Never lazy or self-indulgent, you tend to be dedicated to work.

Neptune in the First
You are an extremely impressionable individual. You are so sensitive that you can easily pick up on the moods and feelings of others, whether they be good or bad. As such, you should try to avoid negative or pessimistic people because they seem to drain you of all your energy and initiative. Your ability to allow your ego to become transparent makes you good at acting or imitating. Try not to hide behind these alternate personalities too often, however, or you may become confused as to what is real and what is not. Above all, try to be truthful at all times because it will be tempting for you to use your acting abilities to lie or to be deceitful. As a rule, though, you are a very kind, aware person.

Neptune in Virgo
You, and your entire generation, tend to idealize work, duty and responsibility. You may be fearful of anything that would force you out of the protective shell of your everyday routines. You place a high premium on personal pride in productivity and craftsmanship, but in your search for perfection in minor details you can lose track of the overall purpose of life.

House 2: What You Own and Value
The second house goes a step outward from your own person and has to do with resources that you possess, including money. It shows your attitude toward what you own or would like to own: what you crave and covet, what you most value, how you go about getting it, how you take care of it, and whether or not you hang on to it. By extension, it can also indicate your sense of values: not just material things but also the attitudes and ideas that you hold dear.

Libra on the Second
You have refined tastes and will like to surround yourself with elegant, comfortable and attractive furnishings. You want to dress in the latest styles — you appreciate high fashion and always want to look your best. You have rather expensive tastes and you love to receive gifts from others. You attract others who enjoy providing for you. But be careful not to become too complacent and dependent or you will become vain and lazy. You are also usually very fair-minded and objective. Your high standards allow you to be the arbiter of disputes and an effective role model as well.

North Node in the Second
You’re justly proud of the groups you belong to and the alliances you have formed. You tend to be extremely selective about your choice of associates — you make sure well in advance that your goals are the same as that of the group’s. Casual or trivial relationships have no interest for you. Once you’ve made a commitment to someone or something, you can be counted on forever to be supportive of them. A lack of spontaneity in your daily life may cause others to judge you as being dull and set in your ways, but a well- ordered daily routine seems to suit you just fine.

North Node in Libra
You are not comfortable being alone. You would much prefer to be in an environment where many people are working together toward common goals. Just by your presence, you have the gift to ease tensions, and your charming and sincere approach to others assures your popularity. You’re the perfect “team player,” willing to sacrifice your own importance to accomplish the group goal. Be careful, however, not to become overly dependent on your interactions with others, because you have personal private needs that should not be neglected.

House 3: Your Immediate Surroundings
Going a step further out from your own body and possessions, the third house has to do with your immediate surroundings and how you interact with them. The first “social” house, it describes brothers and sisters, neighbors and anyone who just happens to be near you on a daily basis. It also describes daily communication and transportation: letters, phone calls and emails, and routine journeys such as commuting to shopping, school or work. The first “mental” house, it governs early education and basic skills training, paving the way for higher education in the ninth house which is directly opposite it in the chart.

Libra on the Third
You have such an evenhanded, balanced and objective mind that you have the ability to deal with the public in stressful situations. You can soothe tattered nerves and bring a sense of peace, order and harmony to almost any social situation. You enjoy a good debate, as long as personalities do not become an issue, because you delight in seeing how ideas grow and evolve as they are shared between people. You love word play and are at your best when you can use your polished and urbane vocabulary in lighthearted banter. You prefer that your daily living routine be harmonious and elegant and will go out of your way to see that stress and tension are not a part of your life.

No planets in the Third
Your third house is not activated by planetary activity. For the most part, how you order your daily life activities is not an issue for you. It is something that you rarely think about or have to plan consciously.

House 4: Where You Come From
Being at the very bottom of the wheel, the fourth house is both where you originate and where you come to rest. As such, it describes your parents and ancestral background, and later the home or protected space into which you retreat each day for nourishment and sleep. A deeply personal house, the fourth is concerned with security and peace of mind, the safety of loved ones, and how you care for others and yourself. The place of your roots and the earth beneath your feet, the fourth house rules the house or apartment where you live and also real estate in general. In your trajectory through life, the fourth house shows your origins and where you are coming from, just as the tenth house and Midheaven describe your career and where you aim to go.

Scorpio on the Fourth
You are fascinated by your family and cultural background and will devote a great deal of time to studying your personal genealogical history. You are totally devoted to your home and enjoy decorating it and redecorating it and redecorating it and ... Beware of the tendency to become so overly attached to certain members of your family that it becomes difficult for them to break the familial bonds — remember that they too must go off and have an independent existence. It is not fair to tie others to you by guilt or subtle psychological subversion just because you are afraid to be alone.

Sagittarius on the Fourth
You are not very sentimentally attached to your home and family. As a matter of fact, you are quite uncomfortable should any family members try to exert any pressure on you to perform familial duties. You are quite restless by nature and will kick over any traces as soon as possible, enjoying the freedom of an independent existence. You do enjoy having a quiet place of your own, though, where you can go to sort out the large and important questions that concern you. Your interest in such wide-ranging subjects as law, religion, philosophy and metaphysics is best nourished when you feel at peace with yourself.

Mars in the Fourth
You are instinctively assertive and energetic, but you tend to repress these feelings. This results in sudden and unexpected surges of anger, resentment and hostility. This can be controlled only if you become more honest and open about your feelings. You are at your best if you own property, and you tend to devote a great deal of time and energy to your home, fixing it up, improving it, and enjoying it.

Mars in Sagittarius
Your actions are motivated by high moral standards and ideals. You will work hard to improve the lot of the world at large. Instead of talking abstractly about it, you demand action. In fact, whatever you do, you like to be where the real action is. Also, you mightily resist any attempts to limit your freedom, and you will assist anyone else who feels put down and restricted. You are extremely restless by nature, so that physical exercise is particularly important for you to maintain your health.

House 5: Playtime
After being nurtured and restored in the fourth house, you are refreshed and full of energy for play and creative pursuits. Replenished by dreams, you have creative ideas. Nurtured by your parents, you are ready to have your own children. Fresh from the security of home, you are ready to trust the universe and take risks. For all these reasons, the fifth house traditionally rules the child in you and the children around you, your own personal creativity and self-expression, plays and amusements of all sorts, gambling and speculation, and courtship, love affairs and romance. This is an outgoing house, but it is still beneath the horizon, in the territory of your heart’s desires.

Capricorn on the Fifth
You have an earthy, direct sense of humor. You also have a straightforward, practical approach to fun and games. You are not fond of grand gestures or unnecessary romanticizing in your lovemaking — you prefer to get down to the ultimate point of the matter as soon as possible. Because relationships that are based on convenience or necessity are more attractive to you and easier to deal with than affairs of the heart, you always know what is expected and can then concentrate on other, more important matters. Your taste in art and aesthetics leans toward those things that have a direct appeal and usefulness rather than to anything abstract. You would rather admire a well-made wooden bowl than an expressionist painting any day.

Venus in the Fifth
Pleasure and amusement are very important to you. Very playful, you enjoy being entertained and you delight in receiving gifts — the more lavish and opulent, the better. Because you are very sensual, pleasing and playing with your lover provides you both with mutual delights. Your refined aesthetic sensibility requires that your surroundings be gracious, elegant and comfortable. Your tendency to think that it is your divine right to be entertained and that all things should come to you can cause you to become lazy and self- indulgent. Try not to be too selfish.

Venus in Capricorn
You tend to keep your feelings under control, releasing your emotions only in serious or important situations. Also, you distrust others who behave in an excessive or immoderate way. You prefer to relate to people older than you or whose position is such that respect and duty are more important for both of you than passion or emotional response. To avoid being lonely, be careful to form relationships that are based on something more than practicality or utility.

House 6: Taking Care of Business
After the candle-lit dinner comes the credit-card bill. Courtship is followed by the nitty-gritty of married life: babies, diapers and saving up for college. After your creative impulse comes the need to learn the technique of actually making something. And if you overexpend your energy, you get health problems. The sixth house rules taking care of business on an everyday level. This includes your job, paying bills and keeping the house clean. It also includes maintaining your body with medical checkups and a daily regimen of nutrition and exercise. In the old books it ruled servants, and it can by extension rule the way you offer service to others. It also ruled useful animals, particularly small ones like cats, dogs, chickens and pigs. Today this usually means small pets, which exist in the personal, intimate part of your life that is signified by houses that lie below the horizon.

Aquarius on the Sixth
You have an intellectual and detached attitude about your job and work habits — you do not get emotionally involved in your work. This allows you to leave the stresses and tensions of the job behind you at the end of the day. The negative side of this is that you rarely show enthusiasm about what you do. You perform your tasks perfunctorily and efficiently. You work well as a member of a team, as long as the group’s goals agree with your own. Due to your objectivity, you have the ability to apply unique and original solutions to work related problems. Your ideas about health and nutrition are formed after carefully considering all the alternatives, but, once formed, you tend to become a zealous crusader and proselytizer.

Sun in the Sixth
Long-range goals are more important to you than immediate satisfactions. You have the discipline and strength of mind to be able to put off fun and see beyond the moment. A very good worker, you love to use tools and to develop and use complicated techniques. A good craftsman, you can be trusted with seeing to it that the minor but important details of a project have been properly taken care of. You have very high personal standards and are very self-critical. Your sometimes obsessive concern with hygiene and proper health care can lead you to endorse enthusiastically the latest health fads.

Sun in Aquarius
You get bored with the status quo and are generally open to whatever is new. An individualist and a free spirit, you find that your friends are important to you — as long as they do not try to tie you down by making too many emotional demands. Remarkably fair-minded when dealing with large groups or broad issues, you are at the same time not always emotionally sensitive to the needs of individuals. Your thoughts are offbeat, and though you’re a bit eccentric, you’re not very changeable. As a matter of fact, you can be quite stubborn at times. Extremely objective, with good powers of observation, you would be qualified to study complicated technical subjects such as science, computers or maybe even astrology.

Mercury in the Sixth
Your mind is disciplined, orderly and practical. You are very good at learning new skills and advanced techniques. You love to use tools in your work, and take great pride in keeping them in tip-top shape. You are a careful, precise worker and a bit of a perfectionist. You run the danger of being so super-critical that you worry needlessly about small details and bring all progress to a halt. Appropriate careers include clerical work, writing, teaching, and training others to use the skills that you have worked so hard to develop.

Mercury in Aquarius
You appreciate and need mental and intellectual stimulation. With your strongly felt notions about things, you tend to be opinionated, and can be quite vocal about expressing and defending your ideas. You are also an original thinker who likes to shock others with your offbeat, original thoughts. Your judgment is usually fair and impartial. Because you can remain objective and unemotional about most things, you can be effective as a critic.

House 7: Relating One-to-One
If you courted in the fifth house and woke up in the sixth yoked to another in a daily routine, the seventh house gives you a chance to hammer out a relationship of true equals. The goal is wedded bliss and a true sense of relatedness, but along the way there may be fights as you each define your individuality and establish your own territory. Not only is the seventh the traditional house of marriage, it is also the house of open enemies, your sparring partners in life. In general, since the first house is you yourself, the seventh house, directly opposite, is the other person in a variety of situations. Besides signifying a marriage or sparring partner, the seventh house rules business partners, or those on the other side of a desk, such as consultants, lawyers, therapists or astrologers.

Pisces on the Seventh
You are so fussy and choosy and supercritical about yourself and about those with whom you decide to associate that often you will prefer to stay alone rather than risk aligning yourself with anyone who might have a few flaws. You seek perfection and, once found, you tend to idolize, worship and serve the beloved. Often you are attracted to those who actually do have significant flaws, but you think that you can ease their burdens and help them attain the high goals you think they should be shooting for. This often leads to relationships based on profound inequalities, which is perfectly all right as long as you have consciously chosen to get so involved. It becomes quite another matter, however, when deception is at its base and one of you is merely taking the other for a ride.

Moon in the Seventh
You are highly oriented toward others. You need the security and emotional closeness of a deep commitment to a partner in order to feel at ease. You tend to attract very emotional people and, because you are forced to react to the other’s moods, that is how you learn about your own emotional responses. Your partners may tend to be moody, touchy or irritable, as well as changeable and enthusiastic. You make an impression on others which causes them to react to you. This makes relationships interesting and challenging.

Moon in Pisces
You have strong feelings and are extremely sensitive. It would help if you had a thicker skin — you tend to react emotionally to every situation you come across. Kind, gentle and considerate of the feelings of others, you are good at taking care of the sick, wounded and helpless. But you tend to absorb the energy of others — so avoid those who are always negative. You have a rich, creative and lively imagination, but you should be careful not to spend all your time daydreaming. Very intuitive, you have good ESP and may be quite clairvoyant or psychic. Remember that you too have the right to get what you want from life. If you are always defensive and kowtowing to others, people will take advantage of you and exploit you.

House 8: Giving It All Away
Having achieved a relationship of equals in the seventh house, you are ready to give up your separateness in the eighth, merging in sexual union and becoming one on a deep emotional level. If the second house was about grasping and possessing, the eighth is about sharing and letting go. While the second rules your own money, the eighth rules how you deal with other people’s money and how you pool resources. On a mundane level the eighth rules taxes, but on a fundamental level it can rule giving up anything you value, including your ego and even your body. In relaxing your grasp on what you find most dear, you may find that you are really not as dependent on it as you thought. In relinquishing, you achieve a new level of freedom, and feel lighter, renewed and more alive. Related to all this, the eighth signifies mysteries such as death and resurrection, magic and the occult, and the deep parts of the psyche that are beyond our conscious grasp.

Aries on the Eighth
Very competitive when it comes to sexual matters, you enjoy being the aggressor and are very proud of your conquests. You love a challenge and are not afraid to confront your partner and push him or her into exploring the more dangerous and mysterious and highly personal areas of his or her psyche. This type of activity can lead to many crises in relationships, but you do not mind, because you are willing to take risks even if it might mean the end of the relationship. You also have the take-charge ability to be able to handle the property of others. Your fearless approach to investing usually keeps you ahead financially — you will always take advantage of any opening that you come across.

No planets in the Eighth
The eighth house of your horoscope contains no planets. This definitely does not mean that you will not enjoy a rewarding sex life or that you will never have any resources to invest or to share in common with another. What it does mean is that these issues will not be as paramount in your life as they are for others. You will experience a certain amount of disequilibrium and/or joy about these matters, but no more than the average person experiences.

House 9: Expanding Your Awareness
Approaching the highest point in the sky, the ninth house wafts you up and out of your rut, giving you a broad and lofty view of the terrain beneath. Whereas the third ruled basic schooling and short trips, the ninth rules higher education and long-distance travel. It removes you from your everyday routine so you can see the overall pattern, the overlooked connections between things. It rules all-embracing concepts (such as your philosophy of life) and institutions (like religion and law) that stand over society and keep it bound together. It can also signify your teachers and mentors, your library, and all else that broadens your outlook.

Aries on the Ninth
You are fascinated by any subject that will allow you to expand your awareness of the world around you. You are an avid student — you enthusiastically devote much time and energy to reading about such wide- ranging topics as literature, law, religion or metaphysics. Also, you have an innate restlessness that may attract you to traveling around quite a bit in order to discover things about exotic ideas and foreign lifestyles at first hand. You will also enthusiastically share what you know with others and may be attracted to the teaching profession. Because the kinds of things in which you are interested are limitless in scope, you will always have fuel for your insatiable curiosity.

Jupiter in the Ninth
You are fascinated by anything that is foreign, new or exotic. Very curious by nature, you love to travel in order to broaden your understanding of the world. You are attracted to the wide-ranging issues that are posed by such subjects as religion, philosophy and metaphysics. You want to understand the overall, big picture and are rarely concerned with the everyday and (to you, at least) minor details of living. Generally, you tend to be very tolerant and accepting of those who are different from you.

Jupiter in Taurus
Growth only occurs for you after you have found a stable lifestyle and a dependable, protective and secure environment. You are at your best when those around you provide you with a great deal of affection and support. When you feel insecure or threatened, you tend to become possessive and grasping and self- indulgent. You are an inveterate collector with an expensive preference for all the good things that life has to offer.

Saturn in the Ninth
Your life’s philosophy is one of caution and conservatism. You delight in being able to carefully and thoroughly work out your life plan well in advance. Everything you do is part of a highly detailed timetable, and you are delighted when your development occurs right on schedule. Very systematic, you work hard and diligently for your goals. Because your opinions tend to change slowly, you may be prone to episodes of dogmatic, narrow-minded thinking.

Saturn in Taurus
Complete freedom of choice makes you ill at ease. You must have a firm, ordered, secure foundation in your life in order to feel comfortable. You do not adapt easily and tend to fear the new and untried. You constantly fear that you do not have enough (love, property, material things, etc.) and this makes you tend toward being selfish, withdrawn and stingy. If you try to surround yourself with supportive people in your environment, you will become more emotionally self-supporting.

Uranus in the Ninth
You are a true freethinker — you love to question everything. The worst thing someone can do to you is to try to influence or control the way you think about something. You will immediately become stubborn and irritable and will pursue exactly the opposite course just to frustrate him or her. You have to be careful to avoid the tendency toward careless, sloppy mental habits — your impulsiveness sometimes forces you to draw quick and unwarranted conclusions. Your restlessness and natural sense of curiosity should make travel a favorite pastime of yours.

Uranus in Taurus
You, and your peers as well, suffer from the tension of trying to have as much freedom as you possibly can and at the same time trying to maintain your stable lifestyle. The solutions that you propose to these issues are quite unique and bizarre even, and may shock even yourself.

House 10: Your Public Self
If the fourth house showed your roots and where you came from, the tenth shows what you are ultimately aiming at in life. Whereas the sixth shows your daily job and how you make a living, the tenth signifies your career, your personal contribution, your reputation and what you become known for. Some astrologers also believe that the fourth house signifies one parent, and the tenth signifies the other. The tenth-house parent is most likely the one who prepares you for the world. The closer a planet is to the Midheaven, the more likely that planet is to be the major significator of your life’s direction.

Taurus on the Tenth
Your need to find security may become your number one life goal. You are continually worried about the here and now — about making sure that your progression forward in life does not upset what you have spent a lifetime developing. You are cautious and conservative — at times so much so that you tend to get stuck in ruts that you have created. It is difficult for you to get yourself motivated to move in new directions — you must look to outside sources to provide the impetus to overcoming your inertia. Your lack of ability to tolerate change tends to make you fussy and particular and difficult to please. Because you are cautious by nature, you are generally quite good at professions that deal with money or finance.

Gemini on the Tenth
Because you are interested in doing so many different things in life, you find it extremely difficult to settle down and pursue just one career. You have the ability to be involved simultaneously in many different careers, or to have many, quite different jobs one after another. You have a very short attention span and must be constantly challenged by new goals and new intellectual stimuli. At times, you put out only superficial energies, just barely skimming the surface of what you are supposed to be doing. You are a quick study, but you must learn to scatter your energies less if you would be effective at what you do.

No planets in the Tenth
You have no planets in the tenth house of your horoscope. This definitely does not mean that you will not have an illustrious or satisfying career — or that you will never be properly motivated to be a success in life. Far from it, it means that these issues are not as important for you as they are for many others. It may indicate that your career goals will be driven by influences from outside of you, so pay close attention to positive opportunities that are presented to you. Look to the house and aspects of Saturn to get further information on where you are more likely to be disciplined and organized in your life.

House 11: Your Circle of Acquaintances
The eleventh is the last house of relationships: not brothers, sisters and neighbors who just happen to be around you, not one-to-one partners, but the circle of friends and associates whom you actively choose. It shows the way you make and keep friendships, the organizations you join, the networking you do, and the general way you interact with groups. After you have established yourself as an individual and learned to form personal relationships with others, you are ready to think about the common good. This is why the eleventh often signifies groups dedicated to social or other sorts of collective improvement.

Cancer on the Eleventh
You must have a strong emotional attachment to friends or groups or associates before you will become active on their behalf. But, should those ties be established, you then become a willing and loyal participant in group activities, even preferring to become a leader in trying to effect group goals. You are loyal and devoted to friends, always being at their disposal when needed. Indeed, at times you go too far and are “there” too often and too conspicuously, becoming overly involved in your friend’s affairs to the extent that they find it difficult to do anything for themselves on their own. Learn to back off a bit when you notice that those you care about begin avoiding you — let loose the apron strings a bit.

Pluto in the Eleventh
Friends and associates play powerful roles in your personal growth and development. You tend to attract those who are very powerful and influential and who can assist you along your path. This is a potentially dangerous energy, however — be careful that friends do not try to manipulate or control you, and, reciprocally, do not succumb to the temptation to use them the same way. For the most part, you are not a joiner of groups, unless they happen to support your own notions of far-reaching reform.

Pluto in Leo
Your entire generation was born at a time when the relationship of the individual to society as a whole was being thoroughly re-examined. You and your contemporaries will make major attempts to find a balance between the need to be self-sufficient and the need to honor debts of social commitment.

Chiron in the Eleventh
Fear of large groups and discomfort in social situations could lead to shyness, asocial behavior and a reputation for being a loner. On the other hand, shunning large groups and organizations enables you to develop a personal philosophy that reflects strong cultural, political and social ideals. At one time or another, you may have gotten into trouble with your outspoken ideas. Don’t let this prevent you from asserting your brilliant insights. Just don’t expect everyone to agree with everything you say.

1Chiron in Cancer
Kind and empathetic, you listen to the dilemmas of others so much that you forget to pay attention to your own. Your parents tried their best but were probably unable to make you feel safe and secure. Your colleagues, family and friends may provide the security you lacked as a child. You can always be relied upon to hold everything together, and you manage to hide your moods from everyone around you. If you take the time to step back and reflect, your greatest attributes will come shining through.

House 12: The Hidden You
The twelfth house is where planets go just after they have risen. Here planets are still wet behind the ears, blinking in the sunlight and unsteady on their feet. Feeling completely vulnerable, planets in the twelfth tend to hide. Their energies can become repressed and secretive, and sometimes they lurk as complexes in the subconscious. This is why the twelfth is associated with self-sabotage, with hidden enemies, and with prison and whatever else makes you feel confined. The traditional association with hospitals and prisons suggest that constructive ways of dealing with twelfth-house problems include helping others who are similarly repressed or confined. Also, some with a strong twelfth-house emphasis become successful as undercover workers or as the power behind the throne.

Leo on the Twelfth
Although you seem to be unassuming and somewhat of a wallflower by nature, deep inside you have a pride in self-achievement that you find difficult to deal with. You crave to be noticed by others for your accomplishments, but you do not know how to articulate this desire. You are ashamed and confused by your own hidden egocentricity and try desperately to suppress it. Learn to allow yourself the luxury of taking credit for the good that you do. Because you know that most of your better efforts have been oriented toward a higher purpose, don’t feel guilty when you are praised or appreciated.;

No planets in the Twelfth
Your twelfth house is not activated by planetary activity. This does not mean that you will never have to deal with energies in your life that are difficult to understand, although most people would consider this a blessing. It merely means that these will not be paramount concerns for you. Occasionally, due to influences that come from outside of yourself, you will find yourself in situations that prove to be temporarily uncomfortable or even mysterious, but these incidents should not dominate your life as they do for some others.

A Mirror of Your Uniqueness
This report is based on the position of the Sun, Moon and planets at the moment of your birth, as seen from the point on Earth where you were born. Such an arrangement of planets and stars will never be repeated in exactly the same form. Like the genes that determine your body and temperament, your astrological chart is made up of the same basic parts that other humans have, but the arrangement of these parts is uniquely your own.

You could think of your birth moment as a seed that contains the potential for how you will unfold. The arrangement of the planets at your birth does not, however, cause your body structure and temperament in the way that the patterning of your DNA causes it. Instead, the planetary positions at your birth employ the language of symbols to mirror who you are. Like a mirror, your chart enables you to see yourself from outside yourself, and it therefore extends your point of view.

To use a different analogy, your chart shows the deck you’ve been dealt, the raw materials you are given from which to fashion a life. Nobody’s perfect: we are all given our special problems to solve and our special strengths and beauties. In knowing what you have to work with, you will be better able to make use of your gifts, fill in (or at least be comfortable about) what you lack, and grow in the life directions that are right for you and you alone.

Instead of assuming that there is one norm for everyone, astrology attempts to show the special pattern that is right for you. In doing so, it can give you clues as to how you can more fully and consciously fill the unique role that you have been given in this lifetime, and enrich the world with the gifts that only you can bestow.
