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 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.
There are few or no planets in Air signs.
Having a marked lack of planets in Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, you tend to
operate without the baggage of intellectual forethought, and have little time
for those who pontificate ideas. Your tendency to react to situations directly
and spontaneously makes you suspect those who prefer to think things through
before taking action.
You view social relationships very simply and just can't understand what all the fuss is about when people clash over intellectual principles or sort out nuances in relationships. These things are black and white to you, and you spend little time dwelling on shades of gray. Because you don't like to spend time on the intricacies of things, you can get caught by situations that require complicated negotiations, understanding and networking.
Sometimes you may demonstrate a lack of forethought that can cause you to miss the implications of your actions. You may get in over your head and wonder how you got there. You need to learn carefully to analyze problems, maintain social networks, and become more detached in your judgments, especially before making major decisions or commitments.
There are many planets in Water signs.
With such a strong emphasis in signs like Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, you tend
to move forward in life guided primarily by your feelings. Living in a world
of emotion and change, you are extremely sensitive to “vibes.” When you
are overwhelmed with feelings, the reality of a situation is of little
consequence, and intellectual abstractions have no meaning for you. You may
misunderstand the passions of others, thinking that such outbursts are real
emotional expressions when these people may be just trying to get your
attention.
When you encounter negative emotional situations, it is best to get out immediately, because you tend to mirror whatever vibrations are occurring around you. Then you react unreasonably and create problems for yourself. When, instead, you are surrounded by emotionally healthy situations, you become emotionally healthy.
A motherly person, you can be extremely compassionate, empathetic and protective of those in need. This is because you sense things in an unthinking way. Learn to trust your emotions, intuitions, and psychic ability, because they are usually correct.
Do not, however, trust your fears. You probably have many, but they tend to be irrational and compulsive. Since you can become irrational when you carry your expression too far, learn to trust the middle way and not take things to the extreme.
Your great strength is your empathy with others. If you heed the unsaid influences in every situation, this talent will give you an edge in business, love and play.
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 is an unusual number of planets in Scorpio.
You live life with such an emotional intensity that you tend to get
overwhelmed by the issues or concerns with which you are currently obsessed.
Your life may be a series of crises, separated by long, dull stretches during
which you recover from the previous crisis and prepare for the next one. You
tend to be extremely stubborn and will lash out when challenged. With your
natural talent for research and investigation, you can delve into a subject
with remarkable depth and thoroughness. Doing so can be a constructive channel
for Scorpionic obsessions and compulsions.
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 South Node
Aware that it’s important to have powerful and important persons on your
side to help you get ahead in the world, you tend to spend much time and
energy cultivating them. You delight in constructing networks of contacts,
people you can count on to assist you in time of need. But beware of a
tendency to build shallow and superficial relationships. You may end up with
an address book filled with many acquaintances, but none of them are close
friends. If you are feeling lonely, remember that friendship requires trust,
commitment and lots of energy.
Moon conjunct Jupiter
You tend to feel very good about yourself most of the time. Your optimism is
also projected onto those near you. You make others feel good about
themselves, which makes you a pleasant and popular person to be around. Your
warm, generous, confident and giving nature make you ideally suited to care
for the needs of others, either in a family situation or as a member of the
helping professions.
Moon square Neptune
A recurring pattern in your life involves your attracting others who have
serious problems in trying to deal with the harsh realities around them. They
may be physically weak or ill, or may indulge in drugs or alcohol to avoid
dealing with the stress in their lives. You have such sympathy for their
plight that often you sacrifice yourself to make their lives easier.
Self-sacrifice can be noble. Just make sure that you are doing it consciously,
and are not just buying into the other person’s unrealistic fantasy.
Venus conjunct Pluto
Your emotional relationships must be alive, sensual, intense and evolving. For
you, loving is a creative and transformative act that produces thorough and
dramatic changes in both your lives. You thrive on the excitement and crises
that occur when a relationship pushes you and your beloved to extremes. You
have the gift of making a deep and total commitment to another, when you both
can stand the tension and intensity.
Mars square Saturn
Although you usually have the ability to live your life in a strict,
comfortable routine, at times you never seem to be able to do anything right.
The choices you make at these times tend to be incorrect or inappropriate and
produce seemingly impenetrable barriers for you. This tends to frustrate you
and make you angry, but you find it difficult to release the anger and go
around steaming inside all the time. If you continue a pattern like this, only
negative things can happen, leaving you feeling bitter, unworthy and
incompetent. Hard though it will be to do, you must do something that will
break this pattern. Explore new and different places on foot or go on
vacation. Get some new input to distract you from your problems and then you
will have a fresh perspective on things.
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.
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.
Chiron opposite Pluto
You may have faced an emotional loss that forced you to grow up at a very
young age. Extremely serious and melancholy, you tend to spend many hours in
deep contemplation. Fearful and obsessed with death, you may find it difficult
to cope with the realities and stresses of everyday living. Therapy may help
you celebrate life rather than fear death. You will then be more apt to relax,
and will be able to help others as well as yourself enjoy each day.
North Node square Ascendant
You feel continually drawn into living situations that demand that you be
among many different people. But you’re really a very private person and you
resent anyone getting involved too intimately with your personal affairs. As
such, you often do things to get others angry with you, causing quarrels and
disagreements. If you must relate to others in your immediate environment, try
to develop a thicker skin — learn to be more tolerant and try to avoid
direct conflicts whenever possible. Things then should go much smoother for
you.
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 Mars
Physically, you are full of vital energy and, for the most part, are quite
coordinated. As such, you need to get as much exercise as you can, feeling
more comfortable when you are moving around rather than when you are idle. You
are very competitive and love to have something or someone to push against.
Aggressive and courageous, you have excellent leadership credentials.
Sun sextile Jupiter
Your sunny, upbeat optimism is infectious. Others enjoy being near you because
your zest for life puts them in a positive frame of mind. You tend to think
that anything is possible, and that you can and should grow and become more
than you are now. Your thoughts are usually powerful enough to make it so.
Others tend to trust your opinions. You have a balanced and high-minded
attitude that gives you a well-earned reputation for being fair and just.
Also, your grand gestures are usually grounded sufficiently in reality to keep
you from overdoing things.
Moon trine North Node
You have that rare facility to be able to devote unnumbered hours of your time
and energy to the needs of the groups and affiliations that you have chosen to
be a part of. Whether it’s a religious, neighborhood, political or
charitable group (or maybe even all of these types), your obliging and
energetic approach serves as a beacon to those who are less motivated. You see
the results of your communal service — and that’s usually all the reward
you need. Indeed, if communal service is also your profession (and it might
just be a good choice), you often get embarrassed when you receive payment for
your services. You have the ability to devote yourself selflessly to those in
need, without ever seeming to be a martyr.
Mercury sextile Venus
You have a keen sense of proportion and balance. This is why you are so
diplomatic in speech and manner. You prefer things to move smoothly and will
take the necessary steps to see that they do. Once you have focused on an
object of affection, you have the ability clearly (and seductively) to express
yourself to the lucky person. You are also gifted aesthetically and can
communicate your ideas easily through writing, arts or crafts.
Mars trine Jupiter
Others regard you as lucky because good things seem to happen to you
consistently. But you realize that it is not luck at all. You are not afraid
to work hard to achieve your goals. Also, because you tend to think big, your
successes are noteworthy. A positive attitude toward everything and the will
to succeed assure you of being in the right place at the right time. This
allows you fearlessly to seize the moment. Perspiration and foresight, not
luck, are your answers to how to proceed in life.
Jupiter trine North Node
You’re not only an idealist; you also back up your idealism with appropriate
actions. If you can assist someone you meet, you do so and ask nothing in
return. You yourself have been given a helping hand many times, and you enjoy
passing on this noble tradition. Much of your time may be spent in
philanthropic work so that you are regarded as a rare jewel in your community.
Your generous, openhearted approach to life attracts other like-minded
individuals, thus assuring your success in life.
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.
Uranus sextile Ascendant
You are known to others as being a bit of a flake due to your tendency toward
erratic and eccentric patterns of behavior. But you prefer it that way.
Relationships must be constantly stimulating for you to keep your interest up.
When the excitement dies down or the novelty wears off, you simply (and
unemotionally) move on to someone else. This does not mean that you are not a
caring person, just that you have an unusually short attention span.
Neptune sextile Pluto
You, and society as a whole, are witnessing a gradual spiritual transformation
that affects everything that you encounter. A solid foundation for protecting
the rights of individuals (and especially the underprivileged) was being laid
in the era when you were born, so that those in the future will have an equal
opportunity to grow, evolve and gain greater understanding.
Neptune trine Ascendant
You have a sensitive, delicate nature. Your imagination is very active and you
have the ability to sense things in the environment that others do not notice.
This ability, call it psychism or intuition, can lead you to a greater
understanding of human motivation if you are perceptive enough to draw the
appropriate conclusions. But, if you are merely acting as a psychic sponge,
and you do not have the discriminative ability to avoid dealing with those who
might drain your energies, you may experience a continuing pattern of being
attracted to those who take advantage of your better nature.
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.
Chiron trine Ascendant
Enthusiastic, outgoing and driven, you have the ability to instill confidence
in others. Overcoming major disappointments has taught you how to rebuild
self-esteem and faith even when it looked as though you would never recover.
Others are inspired by your sparkling personality, resilience, and ability to
endure in the face of adversity. Compassionate and forgiving, you are a
wonderful and loyal friend upon whom others can rely.
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 Venus
You are physically very attractive. Usually this a blessing, but at times it
causes you problems. There are times when you would rather not be noticed, but
this seems to be impossible and you appear to be your own worst enemy. This
may cause you to feel uncomfortable and angry and insecure, and you will find
it difficult to articulate your feelings because you are shy and soft-spoken
by nature. Be aware that this will be a continuing problem. Learn to use it to
your best advantage whenever possible and try to develop strategies so that
you can maintain your privacy and peace of mind.
Moon quincunx Chiron
Self-doubt has plagued you since you were a child. Once you develop confidence
in your capacity to love, you may finally conquer jealousy, possessiveness and
a need for control. You exhibit great empathy for the underdog, and tend to
overcompensate for your own insecurities by helping others. You are the one
whom your friends, family and colleagues rely on just a little too much. Watch
out for people who take advantage of your kindness.
Mercury semisquare Uranus
Your mind is quick and agile, but you are nervous and impatient. You cannot
stand still long enough to deal with things in a logical, orderly manner, nor
do you need to. You are always two or three steps ahead of others because you
instantaneously see linkages that others must labor to sense. You do not take
kindly to rules and structures imposed on you, so it is good to seek out
environments over which you have some control.
Venus quincunx Midheaven
On the one hand, you have very specific life goals for which you are willing
to work very hard. But, on the other hand, you are very aware that you need
the love and approbation of those with whom you come into contact and will go
out of your way to accommodate their needs. Very often these two contrary
tendencies collide, causing you to be indecisive about moving ahead and
worried about offending those you care about. You see this happening and do
not know how to deal with it. Because these two patterns are so difficult to
resolve, you must learn to separate them if possible. Be as nice as you can,
within reason, but do not neglect your own advancement.
Jupiter sesquare Midheaven
You have a good opinion of yourself and it shows. You have the self-confidence
and high sense of personal integrity necessary to bring about most of your
life’s plans and goals. Others notice this and admire you and assist you in
your efforts. Thus, your climb to the top seems easier and smoother than it is
for most others. Just be careful not to consider yourself better than everyone
else or you will see all of that support wither away very quickly.
Saturn sesquare Neptune
You are an ascetic by nature. You can do without the refinements and amenities
that most people need in order to make life seem worth living, especially if,
by doing so, you can attain one of your cherished long- range goals. But if
you don’t abandon this difficult lifestyle whenever you begin to feel
anxious and fearful, the reasons why you attempted to do without in the first
place may become confused in your mind, leaving you with just the fear and
anxiety.
Uranus quincunx North Node
You find that casual relationships with people you care for keep ending
prematurely — and this bothers you. It seems as if, once the excitement in a
relationship fades away, all you want to do is move on quickly. You cannot
stomach a dull, routine sort of relationship, but you’re jealous of those
who can make relationships last over long periods of time. Indeed, sometimes
you get quite lonely because of your insistence on keeping things lively and
interesting. But don’t worry, someone new is bound to enter your life
unexpectedly and then your adrenaline will start flowing again.
Chiron semisextile North Node
Obsessed with being the best at everything you do, you can be extremely
demanding of yourself and others. You have the reputation of being a hard
taskmaster who demands nothing less than perfection from your personal and
professional relationships. Striving for excellence is admirable, but it can
alienate those who want to be close to you. Accept your strengths as well as
your weaknesses, and you will be much more pleasant to be around.
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.
Cancer on the First
Very sensitive by nature, you prefer to be in your own familiar surroundings.
Cautious and conservative, you make changes in your life very slowly, if at
all. Though you do not open up easily to strangers, you tend to make lifelong
friendships. Once given, your trust is forever, and you are very sentimental.
Your mother, your childhood home and your early family life are of paramount
importance to you. You have a strong need for security, in the sense that you
are being loved, nourished and protected. When you feel self-confident, you
are gentle, giving and protective of the needs of others. But when you feel
insecure or threatened, you become overly sensitive to criticism, shy,
withdrawn and moody.
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.
Leo on the Second
You devote a great deal of time and energy to accumulating personal
possessions and property. You have a great flair for the dramatic and you want
whatever you define as “yours” to bear that stamp as well. You prefer
lush, elegant, posh surroundings. Quite ostentatious at times, you are very
conscious of the fact that your home and clothes are props which assist you in
presenting yourself to others — and you delight in finding just the right
setting to properly display yourself. For you, meals are banquets and casual
get- togethers become grand and important events. Life is fun and brilliant,
especially when your budget can afford it.
Many planets in the Second
You have a strong sense of values. It will be important for you to make sure
that you have not defined your value structures too narrowly — if you do,
you will be missing out on much of life’s richness and variety. Once you
have decided what it is that you want, either philosophically or in the realm
of personal possessions, you will strap on your blinders and pursue your goals
with dogged determination. You are basically a stable person and others can
count on you to be consistent in your beliefs and way of life.
Moon in the Second
Your strong need for emotional security is often expressed by a continuing
desire to acquire possessions. You especially delight in old, familiar items
— those with fond memories attached to them, like antiques or keepsakes.
When you are feeling insecure or threatened, you tend to become very selfish
and possessive, but when you are happy and at peace, you are generous and
giving. You are known for your sentimentality — you cling tenaciously to
your memories of the good times you have had and love to relive them in your
mind.
Moon in Leo
You always want to be proud of yourself and will never do anything that will
make yourself look bad. You need the respect and admiration of others and
enjoy attracting attention to yourself. Everything you do tends to be
self-emphasized and self-exaggerated. Very stubborn, willful and independent
yourself, be sure to allow others who are close to you the similar right to
“be themselves.” Your need for love, affection and reassurance, and your
tendency toward vanity, allow you to have your head easily turned by flattery.
The more insecure you are, the more you tend to be a showoff. You love games
and sports as a matter of fact, you would usually rather play than work. Be
careful of a tendency to be snobbish and uppity — it does not become you.
Venus in the Second
You feel that you need to live as comfortably and luxuriously as possible and
you devote a great deal of your time and energy trying to make sure that it
happens. You love to make money and are probably good at it, but it tends to
run right through your fingers as you spend it on the beautiful and expensive
things with which you like to surround yourself. Generally, you do have a good
sense of value, but you should be careful to avoid impulse buying and any form
of self-indulgence. Without some serious self-discipline, your budget (and
waistline) will tend to spread and spread ...
Venus in Virgo
You express your love and affection through selfless service to people or
causes. You have a tendency to underestimate yourself and doubt your
self-worth. This is very demeaning and should be avoided — learn to love
yourself as well as you do others. Your standards of perfection are very high
— you are attracted to relationships based on duty and responsibility. You
are supercritical of yourself and others and, at times, prefer to be alone
rather than deal with any imperfections in yourself or in those with whom you
might relate.
Jupiter in the Second
For you, material possessions signify security and protection and you will
devote much time and energy to gathering about you enough “things” to make
you feel safe and comfortable. When you feel secure, you are very giving and
sharing of your bounty, but, when you feel insecure or frustrated, you tend to
become more and more acquisitive and selfish, collecting more “things”
than anyone could ever possibly need or use. Generally, you love to spend your
money in a big way — preferring large, elegant purchases.
Jupiter in Virgo
You feel most expansive and at ease with yourself when you are doing something
that you consider to be practical or useful. You enjoy being dutiful and
carrying out responsibilities. You gladly take on the little tasks that others
seem to want to avoid. At times, you carry things to extremes and feel guilty
anytime you do something that you consider to be self-indulgent. While it is
appropriate for you to demand little for yourself in life, try to loosen up
once in a while — go out on a fling and enjoy yourself.
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.
Virgo on the Third
You are known as a “detail” person. Your orderly, practical mind delights
in taking things (file cabinets, daily living routines, diets, etc.) that are
untidy and chaotic and cataloging and categorizing and scheduling them so that
sense can be made out of them. This tendency to analyze and to impose order on
everything makes you very critical of anything that you consider to be out of
place. Make sure that this tendency does not get out of hand or you will pick
up the reputation of being a nag or nit-picker. You delight in organizing your
own personal affairs to a fare-thee-well and take great pride when your life
is working practically and efficiently — like smoothly running clockwork.
Uranus in the Third
Your mind is very quick, innovative and original. You have the ability to
quickly grasp complicated subjects and are attracted to new and unusual ideas
and concepts. You love to be the first one to know about something new. Pranks
and practical jokes appeal to you and you will go out of your way to shock
others with your outrageous conduct or lifestyle. Extremely nervous at times,
you tend to be quite undisciplined. Your attention span is quite short and you
seem to need constant new stimuli in order to be effective and functional.
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 Third
Whenever you get interested in anything, you go whole hog. Your involvement is
total, complete and all- absorbing, never superficial or casual. A very good
investigator, you tend to form opinions only after a thorough analysis of all
sides of the question. Once you have formed your opinions, you are very good
at persuading others to adopt them. You enjoy sharing what you know and are
sometimes overly zealous about it, especially when you meet any resistance.
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 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.
Libra on the Fourth
Your home is a place of refuge for you, a place without stress or tension. You
spend a great deal of time, effort and expense in finding the appropriate
refined and elegant furnishings so that you and those with whom you live will
be able to relax and take it easy. You hate to live alone, delighting in and
learning from the give-and-take of relating to others. You are a warm and
gracious host or hostess, but you prefer to stay emotionally detached from
guests and family. You fear the obligations and responsibilities of deep
emotional ties and would rather be a friend and pal. Your innate tact and
diplomacy allows you to keep your home running smoothly.
Many planets in the Fourth
You have a strong need for personal security. Your home and home life may
become so important to you that you will tend to isolate yourself from the
world at large, maybe even fearing to get out and get involved in things that
do not directly concern either you or those for whom you are responsible.
While it is important to be comfortable, warm and safe, you may be missing out
on the full spectrum of life’s variety. When at peace with yourself, you are
the ideal person to nourish and care for others.
Sun in the Fourth
Security, warmth and your home are very important in your life. You need to
know that you have a safe place of refuge where you can be comforted and
protected. If you feel that your environment (especially your family) is
supportive of you, you too can be supportive and protective and mothering
toward others. Quiet and retiring by nature, you have thought long and hard
about who you are and what your good and bad qualities are. You tend to judge
yourself according to your own inner light.
Sun in Scorpio
Intense and complex by nature, you have extremely strong emotional reactions
to most situations. Feelings are often difficult for you to verbalize. This
gives you a tendency to be very quiet and to brood and think a lot. You seldom
get overtly angry, but when you do, you are furious and unforgiving. When you
make an emotional commitment, it is total, and so you are not attracted to
superficial or casual relationships. If you are challenged, you take it as a
personal affront and tend to lash out and fight back in a vengeful manner. You
love mysteries and the supernatural. A good detective, you love getting to the
root of problems and you enjoy finding out what makes other people tick. You
are known to be very willful, powerful and tenacious.
Mercury in the Fourth
You love to be surrounded by books that help you to develop your mind. Your
interest in history stems from your deep need to understand the roots and
origins of your family, region, country and culture. Extremely subjective and
introspective, you are fascinated with your own mind and how it works. You
want to understand how you think and feel and how others think and feel, too.
At times, you get so wrapped up in yourself that you find it hard to honor
another person’s point of view.
Mercury in Scorpio
You are a born investigator, fascinated by secrets, mysteries and unanswered
questions of any kind. You yourself tend to keep your thoughts secret and
bottled up, which makes others regard you with suspicion. It is not that you
are trying to be evasive, it is just that you would rather not deal with the
explosions and hassles that you expect when you reveal your true feelings and
opinions. When you become upset or angry, your emotional reactions are
overpowering, with all reason and logic tending to disappear in an
uncontrollable, passionate outburst. Perhaps as compensation, your sense of
humor tends toward quiet sarcasm and irony.
Neptune in the Fourth
Your intuition is very strong. You have the ability to understand what is
happening deep within other people, even before they can vocalize it
themselves. Also, you tend to idealize people to a great degree. This probably
began early on in life when you put one or both of your parents up on a
pedestal and admired them for their “noble” qualities. Of course, you were
greatly disappointed and disillusioned when you found that Mom or Dad had very
human flaws and faults. Your home and home life reflect your need for a
peaceful place of retreat from the cares of the outside world. Because of your
inherent dislike of facing up to the truth in things, you may devote a lot of
time and energy to hiding one or several embarrassing family secrets.
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 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.
Scorpio on the Fifth
For you, fun and games are serious business — once you are attracted to a
particular form of amusement, you pursue it so obsessively that others wonder
where the lighthearted fun disappeared to. You have the same attitude toward
love and lovers. Your emotional reactions are so deep, overwhelming and
complex that you soon decide that you cannot ever be without your lover and
will do anything and everything to bind him or her to you forever. Be careful
not to be overly manipulative or pushy or the opposite effect will occur —
and your loneliness will be devastating. You tend to prefer relationships that
are secretive and sometimes illicit, usually because you distrust dealing
openly and directly with your complex emotional reactions.
Sagittarius on the Fifth
You have a free, easy and open approach to fun and games. You need lots of
exercise because you are quite restless and would be naturally attracted to
sports, especially those that require the expenditure of much strength and
energy. Your attitude toward love and lovers demands that you constantly be
challenged by them — you crave new experiences and new mental stimuli and,
if things bog down or get dull, you will move along to someone else. You love
children and especially delight in watching them grow and change. You are at
your best when you can share your wisdom and knowledge with them — you make
an enthusiastic and idealistic teacher.
No planets in the Fifth
The fifth house of your horoscope contains no planets. This does not mean that
you are any less self- expressive or creative or fun-loving than the next
person. It just means that your overall character is balanced to the extent
that these issues are not usually paramount for you.
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.
Capricorn on the Sixth
You are all business when it comes to work — you are practical, efficient
and goal-oriented. The desire to be the best at what you do motivates you to
put out superior effort and craftsmanship. You know how to take on
responsibilities and can be effective in leadership positions. As long as the
long-range goals are well defined, you will plow ahead diligently until you
get there — you are not easily distracted. But try to take time out once in
a while to schedule in fun and relaxation. Your health suffers most when you
are involved in overly stressful situations or when you feel that your life is
out of your own control.
Mars in the Sixth
When motivated, you are a very hard worker. But you are not always willing to
cooperate. Your ego is too strong for that, and you would be much more
comfortable being the boss than being an employee. You can be very
disciplined, and you have very high standards of workmanship. If you do not
respect your superiors, however, there will be numerous ego conflicts. You
have the ability to work skillfully at metal work or with cutting instruments.
Try not to repress any feelings of anger or they will tend to surface as
illnesses.
Mars in Capricorn
Extremely ambitious, you are willing to work hard to reach the goals you have
set for yourself. Very practical, cautious and conservative, you demand
tangible results for your efforts. You need to excel in whatever you do, and
you have the required sense of responsibility, dedication and self-discipline
to bring it about. Beware of your tendency to judge others by their status and
prestige, or by how well they are able to advance you in your climb to the
top.
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.
Capricorn on the Seventh
You seek partners who are well-established, well-grounded and goal-oriented.
You yourself are often so heavily involved in your emotional reactions to
situations that you appreciate and lean on your partner because of his or her
excellent advice and common sense. You need the structure and direction that
an organized and practical person can bring to you. You are so aware of the
awesome burden of bearing mutual responsibilities in any contractual agreement
between people that you delight in finding someone who does not shrink from
accepting whatever must be done. This applies equally to personal and business
relationships.
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.
Aquarius on the Eighth
You have a detached and intellectual approach to sexual matters. You carefully
and completely analyze the pros and cons of any potential liaison before
committing yourself to it. The main disadvantage here is that spontaneity has
been thrown out the window, but the relationship may stand the test of time
because you are probably quite sure that you are interested in maintaining it
almost before it has begun. Once you have made a commitment to another, you
can come up with unique, original and inventive ways to explore your
sexuality. Your ability to remain cool, detached and unemotional also allows
you to be a prudent and careful investor, but you are not averse to taking a
calculated risk every once in a while.
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.
Pisces on the Ninth
Your philosophy of life and living is not based on wide reading in the
standard schools of philosophy or religion. You receive your knowledge and
guidelines as the result of your intuition or imagination. You tend to prefer
to live your life in surrender of your own ego, as long as by doing so you can
assist those who are less fortunate than you. You have inner visions of the
way things should be, but it is usually difficult for you to enunciate them
— you are not good at proselytizing. You would rather let your lifestyle of
selfless service be an example of your philosophy. You are attracted to causes
that reflect your own high ideals and philanthropic concerns and you will
devote time and energy in their service.
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 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 Ninth
An effective and influential teacher, you developed your own unusual outlook
on life at a very young age. A precocious but serious child, you may have been
admonished and teased for being “different.” A superior attitude could
have prevented you from cultivating lasting friendships. Your independent
streak and singular manner of self-expression will serve you well as a writer,
publisher, teacher or raconteur. Success will be forthcoming once you realize
that you are equal to, not better than, your peers. Always remember that
students are your very best teachers.
Chiron in Pisces
Intuitive and imaginative, you may have difficulty in verbal communication.
This often gives the false impression that you are confused and unintelligent.
You may have been teased by other children, leaving you feeling vulnerable and
distrustful. Retreating into the sanctity of your own world may have filled
many lonely hours. Your compassion and sensitivity can contribute to your
success in the helping professions. You are a wonderful friend who is ready to
answer the call when anyone needs you. Therapy is an excellent way to improve
self-esteem and to view yourself as the remarkable and unique human being that
you are.
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.
Aries on the Tenth
You tend to think so well of yourself and your potentials that you believe
that there is nothing that you cannot do with your life. Very ambitious, very
optimistic and very confident in yourself, you are willing to take career
risks that others would not even begin to consider. It would be best for you
to seek a career in some highly competitive field where you can rise to the
top and become a leader of others. You are much more comfortable in giving
orders than in taking them. Your impetuosity and devil-may-care attitude
sometimes gets you into hot water. It will be difficult, but you should try to
learn to look before you leap.
North Node in the Tenth
You tend to have a very practical approach to the way you deal with other
people. You rarely, if ever, form casual relationships, and need a real and
identifiable purpose for spending time with anyone. While some may regard you
as cool and calculating, you’re an excellent companion to those who can be
of assistance to you, especially those who can help you move ahead in your
chosen career. To avoid acquiring a reputation as a backslapper or social
climber, in return you must offer real value to those with whom you want to
associate.
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 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.
Taurus on the Eleventh
Once you form a friendship or association in common with others, your loyalty
and devotion can be counted on forever. Your alliances and group networks are
usually a reflection of those you encountered as a very young person and may
be closely related to important familial or cultural or neighborhood contacts.
You value the interaction and mutual benefits that such associations bring and
will work long and hard to support and defend your friends because you
consider them to be an integral part of your extended family. It is almost
impossible for anyone to get you to change your mind when it comes to your
friends, unless they can be shown to be traitorous or scandalous, and even
then you will try to rehabilitate them rather than abandon them.
Gemini on the Eleventh
One of the ways that you get the mental stimulation that you need is by having
a multitude of friends and associates. You are very active and love to do
nothing better than go visiting and chat with those you know. You are a bit of
a butterfly, always flitting from one person or group to another, never
settling down and really getting involved. You tend to fear becoming
emotionally involved with others so you like to keep things light, casual and
superficial. You demand to be personally free to do as you wish, but you need
the input of fresh ideas to keep your nervous energy flowing. You like to
bounce ideas off others — try to take the time to listen to their concerns,
too.
No planets in the Eleventh
The eleventh house of your horoscope contains no planets. This does not mean
that you will never have friends or associates or that you will never be
active in groups that express your philosophy of life. It simply indicates
that these are not paramount issues for you. From time to time, influences
from outside you may cause you to become more active in these areas, but this
will be temporary rather than life-long.
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.
Cancer on the Twelfth
You are normally so self-directed and in control of your life that you often
surprise yourself when you fall into fits of depression or moodiness. At
heart, you are quite sentimental and very sensitive to criticism even though
you usually give the appearance of total self-confidence. What upsets you the
most is that you do not trust these feelings — it is as if they were
betraying you to yourself. Learn to realize that you are a complex personality
with many facets and that this is one of the more important parts of your
psyche. Learn to wear your heart on your sleeve once in a while — you will
be surprised how sympathetic others will be.
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.
This is the Professional Natal Report, from Astrolabe.
