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 in the eastern half of the chart.
You prefer to be in charge of your own destiny, rather than following someone else's dreams, adventures, projects or proposals. This tends to make you an outgoing, active person, in charge of your affairs. Independent and outwardly directed, you are conscious of the direction in which you lead your life. An entrepreneurial pursuit of some type will find you at your best. You need followers to help you, so be sure that you attract those who are willing to follow your vision. Be clear, however, as to who is in charge. Joining forces with someone as strong-minded as you may cause the kind of stress that will distract you from your goals. Make all possible allowances for practicality; and then go ahead and pursue your vision.

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 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.

There is an unusual number of planets in Taurus.
Once you have developed an attitude, position, principle or relationship, you stick to it tenaciously, no matter if the earth threatens to open up beneath you and swallow you whole. As such, you can be counted on to persistently pursue whatever course of action you have decided on. Others may think you stubborn and cussed, but your rare degree of constancy and diligence can be of great value. You are practical, earthy and straightforward: what you see is what you get. You are also tuned in to your senses, and appreciate quality in material things.

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 conjunct Mercury
You are known for your sharp mind, and greatly enjoy a penchant for conversation. You would rather talk than eat, and it will always be important for you to have some sort of intellectual stimulation as an outlet for your nervous energy. Be careful that you always talk about matters of consequence. Others do not necessarily want to listen to you prattle on about nothing in particular.

Moon opposite Uranus
There is an ongoing tension in your life between the need to be close and comforting with your loved ones, and the need to be free, independent and detached. You are painfully aware of the problems that this causes. It manifests in sudden, inexplicable emotional outbursts at the most inappropriate times. These outbursts are very difficult for you to control, and very embarrassing to you after the fact. It will be important for those who love you to give you as much freedom as you ask for, and it will be as equally important that you respect and trust them when they do so.

Moon opposite Pluto
Your emotions are constantly being transformed and taken to lower (or higher)levels. These dramatic shifts in intensity can feel like a gut-wrenching roller coaster ride. You would like to get off, calm down and have your life move more peacefully, but you seem compelled to keep on moving toward the next crisis. At times, you have the irrational fear that you will not be supported emotionally by your loved ones. This causes you to try to bind them to you by guilt and manipulation, which is, of course, unfair. Try to ease up a bit on yourself. Even if you don’t push the world so hard, it will still be a sufficiently exciting place.

Venus conjunct Saturn
The way you show love and affection is by being cool, detached, mature, practical and responsible. Once you have overcome any initial shyness and restraint, you will work long and diligently to pursue the relationship goals set by you and your beloved. Although you do not wear your heart on your sleeve, a friend or lover could never ask for anyone more loyal, dutiful and steadfast.

Venus conjunct North Node
Other people seek you out because you have such a gentle, loving nature. You have the ability to put others completely at ease — to make them think that you’re there for them totally in a supportive role and to be absolutely sincere about it. You have the knack of saying and doing just the right thing to make others think well of themselves. Be careful though not to use this great gift for your own selfish ends — you don’t want to become known as a flirt or a flatterer.

Jupiter square Neptune
At your best, you enjoy planning or working on large-scale projects that will benefit many people, with little thought of your own personal welfare. But, more usually, you spend your time dreaming up things that are difficult, if not impossible, to bring to realization. You need to ground your speculations in reality and practicality before others will offer you the assistance and support that you need. You must be cautioned to never, ever, gamble — your inflated expectations will inevitably lead to disillusionment and despair.

Jupiter conjunct Imum Coeli
Your heritage and your ties to the past will be important in determining the direction of your life. Your family and culture provide you with support and encouragement for whatever you decide to do. In turn, you go out of your way to preserve, support and nourish those who helped to make you what you are. You may become an active member of religious organizations, clubs or other social institutions because you realize how valuable they are in forming the moral character of your community.

Saturn conjunct North Node
When you’re out of your element socially, you may feel timid, fearful and repressed. You’re probably quite shy when it comes to interacting with those you do not know intimately. Young and boisterous individuals make you feel particularly uncomfortable. You’re attracted to those who are more mature and sedate, and would feel at ease either working with or socializing with those who are considerably older than you are. Once you’ve found social situations in which you’re comfortable, your loyalty and devotion are unswerving.

Uranus conjunct Pluto
You belong to a generation that can effect positive and constructive change in society as a whole. You will sympathize with causes and concerns that have been unpopular and neglected in the recent past. The changes that you bring about will be known for their originality and will dramatically alter the way people look at things for years to come.

Uranus square Ascendant
There are few periods in your life when you are truly at peace with yourself and with those around you. Usually, you are (over)reacting to what you regard as a threat to your freedom by others and lashing out by doing things that are outrageous and rebellious. This, of course, keeps you in constant hot water as you try to avoid the consequences of your highly undisciplined and offbeat lifestyle.

Chiron opposite Uranus
Due to separation from a parent or lack of communication in your earliest environment, you have difficulty in sharing and opening up to others. Creative, independent and yet high-strung, you will be successful so long as you develop patience and refrain from being provocative. Asserting a contrary opinion or taking an unpopular stance for the sake of rebellion can be as disruptive and destructive as it can be creative and productive. As life goes on, you will get the knack of being spontaneous without provoking others.

Neptune square Midheaven
You are unselfish and giving, but not very strong willed. This becomes a major problem when you are in an environment filled with negative energy. You have the ability to pick up “vibes” and will soak up the energy of those around you like a psychic sponge. Because you do not feel confident enough in yourself to take control of your life, you can succumb to the will of those who might take advantage of you, with all sorts of negative consequences. It is important for you to seek out objective advice at those times when you feel confused or when you feel that your best interests are being compromised — and follow that advice if at all possible.

Chiron square Ascendant
Preoccupation with your own needs has made you difficult to get along with. While you have learned to take charge of your life with little or no assistance, you also spend many lonely hours and have few friends in whom you can confide. You have the power to be a wonderful friend and work-mate. Learning to listen and interact with others may be difficult, but the rewards of friendship cannot be equaled. You’ll find that things you once thought important are not as meaningful as they once seemed to be.

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.

Sun sextile Midheaven
You know who you are and where you want to go. This is a great gift, one that relieves you of the anxiety that most people feel about their life direction. Because you are able easily and quickly to make decisions to assist you in reaching your goals, you will meet with success early on.

Moon sextile Mars
You are honest and forthright in expressing your convictions. No one will ever accuse you of being wishy- washy. You love a good contest (or fight or argument) and you get very emotional with respect to putting your point across. Because you anger easily, be careful not to get too caught up in things if you meet a lot of resistance. But, if allowed to fully speak your mind, you usually recover your equilibrium fairly quickly.

Mercury trine Jupiter
You are an optimist, habitually trusting that things will get bigger and better. This is tempered by a reasonable and tolerant attitude that allows you to be fair and impartial in your opinions. Because you enjoy the give-and-take of decision-making, you would be comfortable working as a planner, organizer or administrator. Watch, however, for a tendency to neglect the minor but important details involved in any undertaking. It would be best to delegate these details to someone else.

Mercury sextile Ascendant
You have an abundance of nervous energy. Very inquisitive, you are constantly asking questions of others. . Rather than reading books or studying on your own, you prefer to learn directly from people. You delight in conversation, and seek out friends and acquaintances who challenge your intelligence. Also, your restlessness may cause you to travel widely.

Mercury sextile Midheaven
You are known for your keen intellect and your pointed wit. You have the ability clearly to think things through and are especially good at planning and organizing projects. You think long and hard about your own future and enjoy plotting strategies for your growth and development. Usually very good humored, you love mind games and all sorts of verbal badinage, as well as practical jokes.

Mars trine Pluto
You love a challenge. The worst thing opponents can say to you is that they are unbeatable or that something is impossible. For you, the difficult is routine, and the impossible just takes a little longer. You have the ability to focus your considerable energies on the job at hand, and you relentlessly pursue your goals. You are so success-driven that at times you will do anything, even to the extent of using brutal or underhanded tactics, to get what you want. To get the respect that you desire, you may need to learn some tact and self-control.

Jupiter sextile Ascendant.
You have a generous, affable nature that causes you to be well liked by almost all of your peers. You have a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong and your balanced and tolerant opinions are respected and admired. Extremely sociable, you enjoy traveling to foreign or exotic places to broaden your horizons. You have many friends and associates from a broad spectrum of society. Your cheerful optimism makes you welcome anywhere.

Uranus sextile Neptune
You are fascinated by ideas that deal with the alteration of consciousness and with spiritual matters in general. You consciously seek out new and unique answers to the traditional questions of why we are here and what occurs after death. Your experiments will probably prove to be enlightening as long as you are genuinely seeking truth and understanding and not merely trying to escape from the stagnation of a dull life-style.

Chiron trine Neptune
Optimistic, spiritual, and idealistic, you have a never-ending faith in the human spirit. Compassionate and sympathetic, you always keep your door open to those in need, including stray animals and others not as well off as you. Your naivete and sweetness endear you to whomever you meet. Since you always lend an ear and a helping hand, people enjoy being in your company. Professions that utilize your admirable qualities include being a religious leader, teacher, counselor, evangelist, or spiritual healer.

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 semisquare Moon
In certain situations you experience problems in making decisions that are balanced, appropriate and reasonable. Because you feel, at some times, that you are lacking either the ability to be rational and logical or, at other times, the ability to be compassionate and feeling, you tend to overcompensate and the result always seems to put you off center, forcing you to continually make adjustments. Be aware of this tendency and consciously try to seek a middle path in all you do.

Moon semisquare Mercury
You find it difficult just to sit back and reason things out calmly and coolly. You prefer to do everything spontaneously. There must be an emotional content to all of your decisions — you tend to wear your heart on your sleeve. Because you have a tendency to act first and think later, you often do things that you later regret. Try to build in time delay factors and escape clauses into any important decisions that you make.

Moon semisextile Venus
You are by nature a very caring and compassionate person. You have a strong need both to give and receive love, but often this causes you some difficulties. You are so aware of your need to be loved that, when you perceive that others are not responding the way you think they should, you become more and more insecure and more and more demanding of them. This may, quite naturally, drive them further from you, which is not what you intended. You must learn to love unconditionally — others will react to this much better and give you the support that you need. Learn to trust people more.

Moon semisextile Saturn
You find it difficult to blend properly your need to be unconditionally accepted by those you care for with your need to live by a strict and unyielding code of conduct. This annoys you greatly because you see yourself going through agonies of remorse whenever you postpone pleasures or emotional responses just for the sake of propriety. And you also become infuriated with yourself when you feel guilty at having done something spontaneously and innocently. Your usual response is to withdraw and not get involved at all, but this only increases your suffering. It may be helpful to you to seek out the assistance of a respected friend or counselor to help you sort out these confusing feelings.

Moon semisextile North Node
You feel such a strong affinity with those in need that you are always joining groups and organizations in an attempt to assist them. When you devote too much time to these charitable needs, you sense that your own personal needs and those of your family are suffering. But you don’t really know how to deal with the guilt and frustration this causes because you have made a serious commitment to the group or groups you have joined. Try to learn to limit your charitable activities a bit. You’ll be much more effective if you’re less frustrated — especially if you don’t feel that you’re neglecting yourself and your family. It’s OK to say no every once in a while.

Mercury semisextile Chiron
A magnanimous friend, you have a wonderful way of facilitating communication. You can be a marvelous mediator since you are a person others can trust. Objective and insightful, you have the ability to win the trust of others, making you an excellent therapist, counselor or friend. Your lovely speaking voice and persuasive writing style enable you effectively to communicate your opinions and beliefs. You have an excellent memory for details and events that others may have conveniently forgotten.

Venus semisextile Mars
You have ambiguous feelings about love and sexuality and relationships in general. You are one of those individuals of whom it may rightly be said that “you can’t live with them and can’t live without them.” Relationships are very often quite stormy and filled with tensions, continually moving back and forth between states of great love and great hate. You see this happening and it frustrates you mightily because it seems to be out of your control. If you would find the riddle to this dilemma, look closely at the feelings you had about the parent of the opposite sex as you grew up. It might also be wise to seek competent counsel to assist you in this quest.

Mars semisextile Saturn
There is a continuing tension in your life that you find very difficult to handle. On the one hand, you have very definite needs and wants and the desire to go out and get them. But, on the other hand, you feel overburdened by restrictions (whether imposed by yourself or reinforced by important guide figures) or by propriety and decorum and this manifests as indecisiveness and frustration. As such, you often feel angry and embittered and have periodic outbursts of temper. You must realize that this indecisiveness comes from within you — do not seek out others as scapegoats. If you can resolve these tensions by lowering your expectations and narrowing your goals until they become truly realizable, the symptoms will become somewhat alleviated.

Mars semisextile North Node
It seems that you love nothing more than a good fight or argument. Your reputation as a quarreler or brawler is well-deserved — you won’t back down from anybody or anything. But at times you wish you were much less obstreperous — life would be so much easier without all the constant bickering. Try to relax a little and let someone else take the lead, but should that prove to be too dull or stifling, don’t be afraid to assert yourself anew. You’ll have a great deal of energy to bring to group endeavors, just as long as you and those with whom you associate can put up with your overly zealous attitude from time to time.

Jupiter semisextile Uranus
There is a recurring pattern in your life that may not be obvious for a while, but later it becomes an obstacle for you. You are very concerned with certain larger social issues with which you want to become involved. But the successful resolution of these issues implies that you will have to work within a group structure in order to be effective. This is where you have the problem. You are so independent and cantankerous about your own ideas on how to proceed that you rarely can get along well enough with others to have an effect on the course of things. It will be difficult, but you must learn to compromise a bit in order to achieve your goals.

Neptune quincunx Ascendant
You have a great need to positively interact with others, especially with those you care about deeply. But you often fall into the pattern of giving and giving to those you love, with nothing ever coming back to you. This leaves you feeling martyred and frustrated and you do not know how to break the cycle. There are two ways of handling this. First, make sure that those to whom you minister are worthy of your care and then serve them with no thought of any reward. Second, avoid negative people at all costs. They tend to drain your energy, reinforcing your feelings of worthlessness. Positive, upbeat people, on the other hand, invigorate you.

Chiron semisextile Midheaven
Rather than run from a situation in which you must take orders, take advantage of the opportunity to learn skills that can expand your horizons. Playing the victim is a thing of the past. Unless you take control of your life, you will never fulfill your lofty ambitions. Thinking positively and surrounding yourself with supportive friends will drastically improve your resolve.

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.

House 1: Your Interface with the World
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.

Gemini on the First
Extremely active by nature, you like to get around, meet people and do varied things. Very restless, you just can’t seem to stay put. To keep your mind stimulated, you need to be involved in several projects at once, and may be known as a Jack-of-all-trades. You like to read, write letters and talk — constantly. Seemingly ageless, you will always appear much younger than you really are. Adaptable and inquisitive, lively and versatile, you are always open to new ideas and experiences. Because of the high nervous tension that you always seem to have, you may find athletic activity a good way to burn off energy. To counter a tendency to experience things only superficially, it would help occasionally to make an effort to dig in and absorb things at a deeper level.

No planets in the First
You have no planets in the first house, which means that the way that others regard you is not usually a major issue for you. Look to the house position of the Sun, Mars and Saturn to learn how your sense of personal identity is integrated into your overall character.

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.

Cancer on the Second
You tend to be cautious and conservative with your own personal resources. You are sentimentally attached to what you have and will only share it with those to whom you are emotionally committed. Security, the feeling of being loved and wanted and needed, is an issue that looms large in your life. When you feel secure, you are very sensitive to the needs of others and will go out of your way to accommodate them. When you feel ill at ease or threatened, you withdraw and become very stingy, moody and ill- mannered. You are at your best when dealing with the public — your innate sensitivity to its needs allows you to be effective and caring and this assures success. You love to spend money and time on your home, family and children. When it comes to investments, security is uppermost in your mind.

No planets in the Second
The second house of your horoscope contains no planets. This means that you tend not to be overly concerned about what you own, and that your attitudes and value structures are most likely integrated into your character as a whole. If outside influences upset this balance and cause these issues to become more important than usual, it will probably be only temporary.

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.

Leo on the Third
You have the ability to take your words and opinions and make them seem very important and significant when you communicate them to others. Generally speaking, you have an air of honesty, uprightness and dignity about you that seems to give what you say extra weight. And you do speak well — the high tone and correct grammar of your speech adds to your overall aura of good taste and authority. You love to be the center of attention in whatever you do — you have a tendency to be a bit of a showoff. Be careful that what you say and do has real substance to it or others will soon regard you as an amusing buffoon and not the authority that you purport to be.

Jupiter in the Third
Generally speaking, you have an expansive, tolerant and unprejudiced view of the world. You demand the right to be free to make your own decisions and you allow others the right to do so, too. Very curious by nature, you are fascinated by a broad spectrum of subjects, many of which you become quite expert in. You are widely read and, if your circumstances can afford it, widely traveled as well. Very popular because of the optimistic attitude that you have, you have many friends and a wide circle of acquaintances.

Jupiter in Leo
In order to grow and develop, you must be proud of all that you do. You enjoy being totally honest and above-board, and you revel in the admiration and respect you receive from others for your high-minded, upright way of life. Make sure, though, that your natural tendency to boast and show off is based on your actual accomplishments. Don’t fall prey to self-exaggeration or arrogance. You truly do like grand, jolly times and outrageous spectacles and will go out of your way to make them a reality.

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.

Virgo on the Fourth
You take great pride in your home and will spend much time cleaning and organizing it so that everything is just so. You prefer plain, functional furnishings — efficiency and utility are the bywords. You are more than a little fussy about the place you call home, and sometimes, when you have guests, you carry this to extremes by going about in their wake straightening up and tidying. You have a no-nonsense approach to the needs of your family — you will provide for their bare minimum necessities and no more. You expect others to become as efficient as you as soon as they possibly can and you will do whatever you can to accelerate the process.

Uranus in the Fourth
You have an innate fear and dislike of close, entangling emotional relationships. This problem most likely stems from the environment of your early upbringing in which the emotional support that you needed was inconsistent or unpredictable. As such, you now hate to be tied down to anyone or anything. Your home is, quite literally, wherever you throw your hat. At the very least, your living quarters and home scene are unconventional and unique.

Uranus in Virgo
You, and all your peers, will be known for the degree of intensity with which you dislike normal everyday routines and chores. You will go out of your way to invent innovative, unique and timesaving ways to perform the various mundane routines and duties of living. You will be attracted to all manner of practical and useful gadgets — anything that will make your daily life more exciting.

Pluto in the Fourth
The emotional habit patterns that were formed early in your childhood tend to completely control your behavior when you get upset. When you meet any resistance, and you often do because you tend to push the universe to its limits if you can, you often react by trying to completely crush the source of the problem. This, of course, rarely works to your satisfaction and things tend to degenerate into backbiting and vengeful quarrels. You may have become so closely attached to one of your parents in your youth that you will have to learn to take this relationship much less seriously in order to truly grow up and stand on your own two feet.

Pluto in Virgo
Your entire generation was born at a time that saw profound changes in society’s attitude toward work, duty and responsibility. There were also fundamental changes in attitudes toward personal health and nutrition.

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.

Libra on the Fifth
You love nothing better than to attend a party or social event where you can dress up and relax with congenial friends and associates. You find the whole process of falling or being in love fascinating. You are exhilarated by the interplay that happens when you and another are trying to relate. Indeed, at times, you find this so enjoyable that you carry on more than one relationship at a time. This is not because you are particularly fickle or lascivious — you just find it difficult to make choices and you do not want to offend anyone. Because you like to be pals with children, you prefer them when they are older and more mature. You have little interest in dealing with them when they are small and totally dependent on you.

Neptune in the Fifth
Very imaginative and creative, you like to invent beautiful dreams and fantasies. Lovers and partners are seen as romantic figures, larger than life and without flaws. You also like to put yourself in the role of someone who rescues others from great peril or distress. Try to make sure that those whom you help or love are worthy of the sacrifices you are willing to make for them or you will end up disillusioned and disappointed. If you have children, you will also tend to idealize them and work long and hard to make their path through life smoother. Remember to encourage them to stand on their own two feet and make their own decisions — you must learn to let go.

Neptune in Scorpio
You, and your entire generation, are extremely interested in anything deep and mysterious. You will explore and idealize the benefits that can accrue from the study of the occult, healing and psychology. You are willing to experiment with substances like drugs in order to push your understanding of your inner being to the extreme.

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.

Scorpio on the Sixth
You tend to become obsessed with your work if it peaks your interest. You then drop everything else and totally immerse yourself in what you are doing. You are willing to do the necessary research and investigation in order to find out how best to approach a given project — and the more challenging (and dangerous) it is, the better you seem to like it. You work with an intensity that makes your coworkers uneasy because they are just not as attached to the job as you are. As such, you can be trusted with important and confidential material — once you have given your loyalty, it can be forever. Your major health difficulties are caused by not dealing with stressful situations as they occur — when you postpone them, they have a tendency to burst out of you in an uncontrollable fashion.

No planets in the Sixth
Your sixth house is not activated by planetary activity. Health and work-related issues are not usually paramount concerns for you. Of course, outside influences can temporarily upset this balance, causing you to devote more time and energy to these parts of your life, at least on a temporary basis.

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.

Sagittarius on the Seventh
You seek a partner who can help provide you with a sense of overall direction and purpose in life. Emotional considerations are not as important for you in relationships (either business or personal) as are the integrity and high-mindedness that a potential partner can bring to you and therefore allow you to focus your energies on something that is important and beyond yourself. This will help to liberate you and make you feel unencumbered. Once the ground rules of the relationship have been set, you will allow each other more individual freedom than most relationships can support — you are rarely jealous or possessive of each other.

No planets in the Seventh
You have no planets in the seventh house of your horoscope. This does not mean that you will never have any relationships or that you will never get married. What it does indicate is that you will not find your life overly dominated by working out problems associated with relationships. You will experience more or less activity in these areas occasionally, along with everyone else.

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.

Capricorn on the Eighth
You have a no-nonsense, practical, but very earthy approach to sex and sexuality. You are uncomfortable with all the romantic trappings associated with courtship, but you thoroughly enjoy all the carnal delights. You have a businesslike, direct approach which can sometimes destroy any spontaneity, but you are eager and willing when your attention has been aroused. You are cautious and careful about investing your resources and you are willing to save and wait — and save and wait — for just the right moment as a part of a larger, carefully considered plan of personal growth and development. Your preference to avoid gambling and speculation and your efficient, common sense attitude contribute to making you a good financial advisor.

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.

Aquarius on the Ninth
You have a detached and objective attitude toward philosophy and metaphysics. You are quite interested in the larger questions of the day but you tend to be suspicious of those who are zealous converts to any particular system. You fear those who are overly emotional in their approach to things, preferring to trust only those systems with a solid foundation of logic and reason behind them. Yet you have the ability to appreciate new, complicated and original ways to solve important problems in ethics and morality. Beware that your tendency to be cool and rational does not make you too intolerant of the needs and feelings of others.

No planets in the Ninth
Your ninth house is not activated by planetary activity. The extent and depth of your life philosophy and the intensity of your higher educational experiences are not major issues for you. Look to the house and aspects of Jupiter in your horoscope to get further information on how you deal with these issues.

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.

Pisces on the Tenth
You do not have a very strong ego drive and consequently have no great desire to make a big splash in the world. You would much rather contemplate the more profound philosophical implications of the human condition. Very religious and highly principled, you love to help the downtrodden. Please be wary that those whom you choose to help really deserve your aid and that they are not merely playing you for a sucker. You are aware of “vibes”, but usually you merely absorb them rather than turn them to your own advantage.

Many planets in the Tenth
You want to get ahead in the world, to be noticed for your achievements, and you will work hard and long and tirelessly to achieve your goals. Your experience of your father (or the person who played that role in your life), whether it was positive or negative, will play a very important role in determining how you will react to the need for discipline and structure that will be required in order for you to realize your goals. You are at your best in highly structured situations and can be counted on to carry out a project fully and completely.

Moon in the Tenth
Your mother (or the person who provided comfort and nurture for you early in life) has been very important in shaping your life goals. Your heightened awareness of the needs of others allows you to be successful in most careers that involve a great deal of interaction with the public. It will, however, be a temptation for you to merely reflect the feelings and needs of others. Try to be yourself — your opinions and wants are important, too.

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.

Saturn in the Tenth
You are a perfectionist and you want to make a mark in the world. If careful planning and hard work are what is needed in order to become a success, your success is assured. Your self-discipline and thoroughness is such that you will probably become expert in your chosen field, and you may want to share your knowledge with others in the role of teacher, especially later on in your life. You are so demanding on yourself and so aware of the hard road you have chosen that, when you get despondent or frustrated, you tend to see the world as a cold, forbidding, merciless and unforgiving place. When this happens, try to relax and bask in the respect and admiration of those who realize the worthiness of what you have accomplished to that point.

Saturn in Aries
You are aloof, independent and standoffish. This is mainly due to your fear that others might inhibit or restrict you and, quite frankly, you feel that you can govern your life by your own standards. Be careful not to associate with those who are overly critical of you or you will withdraw so deeply into your shell that you will become very lonely. You have the ability to stand on your own two feet and to make up your own mind — albeit very carefully and cautiously. But you are known for your circumspection and therefore are respected and admired.

Chiron in the Tenth
The lure of professional success is appealing but somewhat daunting and difficult to attain. You may fear the responsibility that accompanies achieving your goals. You may be tempted to remain in a low-key position, seek self-employment, or work at home. Homemaking and raising children may be your most fulfilling roles. Don’t let the fear of failure deter you from pursuing professional endeavors. Your resilience, intelligence and good judgment will point the way to success.

Chiron in Aries
Obsessively independent and intent on enjoying life to the fullest, you may inadvertently neglect those you love. Pay attention to those who mean the most to you, or you may wind up being alone. You clearly want to be a trailblazer in your field. At times, opposition to your ideas leaves you feeling that it is you against the world. An iron will and a pioneering spirit will help you overcome all obstacles and reach your goals.

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.

Aries on the Eleventh
Very sociable by nature, you enjoy getting out in the world and meeting people, especially if they can assist you in any way. You like to join groups that are sympathetic to your own particular philosophy and, at least initially, you are an enthusiastic member, willing to take on group responsibilities and duties. You may even become a respected leader and become politically active within the group. But, quite often, your enthusiasm for the group or its goals fades rather suddenly and you want to move on to some other worthy cause. Friendships also have the same pattern — initially there is a burst of enthusiasm and activity, but you soon move on. It seems that you have a hard time becoming emotionally involved with friends and associates.

Many planets in the Eleventh
You are at your best when dealing socially with those with whom you feel you are compatible. You consciously seek out groups and friendships that promote your own philosophical or religious views and you will become very active on behalf of these groups, either as an unpaid volunteer or as a professional administrator. You would gladly sacrifice your immediate comforts so that the group’s goals can be accomplished. Be careful, however, that your views are not too narrow-minded. It would be wise to try to see things from anther’s point of view before you make any hasty judgments.

Sun in the Eleventh
A very social person, you like to be with your friends and associates. You have the gift to be able to subordinate your individual needs to the needs of a group. A willing team player, you are satisfied to either lead or follow within a group structure according to the needs of the group. Within the structure of your chosen peer group, you tend to be unselfish, fair and impartial, but you may be less than tolerant of others whose goals are different from your own.

Sun in Taurus
You are known for being patient, slow moving and careful — you love to prolong and savor enjoyable times. You appreciate and need comfort, ease and warm surroundings. Be careful of a tendency to become placid and self-satisfied and to overeat (especially sweets). You require strenuous situations in order to grow and mature properly, even though you try to avoid them. Affectionate, even-tempered and slow to anger — when you do become emotionally upset, you are also slow to forgive and time must pass before your calm returns. You demand real results from any situation — abstractions are very difficult for you to comprehend. Very artistic, your hands love to mold and shape things. You portray an earthy, physical sexiness that others find quite seductive.

Mercury in the Eleventh
A good team person, you do your best mental work with others who share common life goals. Very gregarious, you need the support of others in order to feel that you are making a contribution. Your humanitarian impulses usually allow you to rise above personal judgments and to work for the good of all. You enjoy testing your mind on your friends and associates, and love puzzles and strategy games.

Mercury in Taurus
A careful, deliberate thinker, you like to present ideas visually and concretely. Abstractions are difficult for you to understand. To merit your attention, things must be practical and useful. A perfectionist, you enjoy being skillful and dexterous in your chosen craft. You are cautious and conservative in your thinking, and are slow to change your opinions. You are more apt to respond to an appeal to your feelings than to an appeal that is based on logic or reason.

Venus in the Eleventh
Very sociable, you love good company and good times. An avid team person, your grace and personal charm adds to any social occasion. Your openness and sincerity makes you popular and sought after. Friends and associates are an endless source of pleasure for you. You prefer creative, lighthearted people — those who are too serious strike you as being dull, boring and stuffy.

Venus in Aries
You are a very affectionate person but you hate to be tied down. You are more than willing to be the aggressor in initiating new relationships. Indeed, once you have set your sights on someone, you tend to pursue him or her ardently and passionately. But you do demand your own way in a relationship. Try to give in to your partner’s needs and desires once in a while.

Mars in the Eleventh
You like your friends and associates to be as active, vigorous and independent as you are. Very competitive, you love to engage your friends in contests or athletic events. It is important that your friends share your goals and beliefs or there will be constant conflicts and quarrels because you tend to defend your beliefs so aggressively. You have the ability to happily strive with others toward mutually shared team or group goals.

Mars in Taurus
You tend to be careful, slow and thorough in most things that you do. At times, you are willful and stubborn when others try to alter your course. You are definitely not a quitter, and will work long and hard to get what you want. Your possessions are important to you. One of your continuing problems is that you tend to regard the significant people in your life much the same way as you do your possessions, becoming overly attached to them and much too jealous. You repress your anger when you get upset and that is not healthy. Try to learn to show your anger immediately in order to avoid painful explosions later.

North Node in the Eleventh
You’re at your best when meeting others, especially those who are outside your immediate family environment. You prefer the social whirl — meeting new and interesting people stimulates your imagination and makes you feel alive. However, you’re usually not a casual joiner — you like to dig right in and be of assistance in helping the group meet its goals. You have many friends and acquaintances, and it takes some doing just trying to fit them all in to your busy social schedule.

North Node in Aries
You’re at your most comfortable when involved in group activities outside of your immediate family circle. You delight in getting involved with others in neighborhood civic or political activities, especially if you can be a part of the group’s leadership. Your zeal and abundant energy bring out your real creativity when you can work toward tangible results that will immediately benefit those around you. You have a real gift for getting the most out of charity drives and community benefits. Take time out between projects, though, because you can burn yourself out easily and your effectiveness becomes greatly diminished when your energy is depleted. Also, don’t even think of trying to get involved at a peripheral level — you need a total commitment to feel personally fulfilled. Let others bake the cookies and set up the chairs. You need to be the one to tell everyone what to do and when to do it.

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.

Taurus on the Twelfth
You have ambivalent feelings about the necessity to be cautious and conservative in certain important situations. While you normally live your life very liberally, floating freely from situation to situation and relationship to relationship, at the very root of your nature you are uncomfortable. You yearn for a solid and stable lifestyle in which you do not have to deal with uncertainty and the unknown. In order to allow this for yourself, you will have to “decondition” yourself to the point where you can begin to do things — like save for the future — without feeling guilty or feeling that you might miss out on something. Things will probably improve for you along these lines the older you get.

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.
