Introduction
The report that you are about to read is a first step in decoding the symbolic
language of your birth chart. It explains the raw materials that you have been
given for building a life. It outlines how the overall shape of your chart
reflects the overall shape of your personality, what your greatest challenges
are likely to be, the strengths you have been given to meet these challenges,
and the main arenas you are given for playing out your life’s drama.
In this report you may notice certain places where the information seems to be contradictory. This is to be expected, because people are complex. For example, in some situations we are shy and in others, aggressive. When you see repeated patterns, though, take special note: these are apt to be the dominant themes in your life.

The Main Emphasis in Your Chart
The general distribution of planets around you at your birth is one of the
things that shows the overall shape of your personality. Before taking a
closer look at the details, let’s stand back for a moment to see whether
your chart contains any obvious emphasis in a sign, group of signs, or other
division of the horoscope wheel.
Most planets are below the horizon.
Your personal sense of identity is very important to you. Who you are and
where you have come from are constant sources of interest to you. Your
understanding of your cultural heritage and family roots will help you to
determine your direction and goals in life. You feel that answers to important
questions can best be found within, rather than in the outer world or in a
relationship. Self-awareness and self-composure allow you to be self-assured
in your career and relationships.
Most planets are in the western half of the chart.
You love interacting with others, and delight in experiencing life in a social
setting. The challenge of working out the intricacies and problems posed in
relationships gives you a feeling of enormous satisfaction, especially when
things work out in a positive manner. To be sure, seeing life through the eyes
of others is a rare gift. Just take care that someone else’s personality
does not dominate you in such a way that you cannot grow and express your own
self.
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 Air signs.
With all those planets in signs such as Gemini, Libra or Aquarius, you
probably love to live in your intellect, and excel at organizing, planning,
and developing new techniques. Your strengths are logic, reason and
impartiality. Because of your ability to remain detached and objective, you
are a fair-minded judge of most situations. You can see and understand
interrelationships that those who are emotionally or practically oriented find
difficult to fathom. You could be a fighter for ideas and ideals, like a
statesman who lives simply, has few material needs, and is held in high regard
for his beliefs.
You like to connect people and ideas. Not being much interested in practical experience, you live in a world of concepts and use social interaction as your medium. Although you are a very social person, you prefer to remain detached. Emotional displays turn you off and you would rather negotiate. You may be in danger of being cold and emotionally insensitive to others. Understand that many do not operate in your rarefied atmosphere, and remember to be charitable if they lead mundane, unimaginative existences.
Unless you also have an emphasis in Earth signs or on such planets as Saturn and the Moon, your life may have a rootless quality. Although you may not notice it, others may be aware of a lack of stability in your material, external sense of being. To achieve balance, you may need consciously to stick to projects, put down roots, and cultivate your emotional life.
There are many planets in Cardinal signs.
Your strong emphasis in signs like Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn gives
you an ability to initiate things, whether they be actions, relationships or
projects. You do not care whether something has been done before: if it
interests you, you will attempt it. Though you tend to be sullen and unhappy
in the role of minion, you feel creative and fulfilled in positions of
leadership. Once projects are under way, however, you tend to lose interest.
It would be ideal to have someone to follow in your footsteps and complete the
details.
There is an unusual number of planets in Libra.
In order to feel complete, you need to relate to others, especially in a
one-on-one relationship. You enjoy the challenges of making a relationship
work. In doing so, you may tend to subsume your needs to the needs of the
other in order to make things work smoothly. With this much Libra in your
chart, having things happen in a graceful and harmonious fashion may be an
ideal that you are constantly seeking, at times to your own disadvantage. If
planets like the Sun and Mars are strong, however, you may be more inclined to
hammer out a relationship of true equals, even if it means fighting sometimes.
Your desire for harmony may also come out as a remarkable degree of charm and
good taste.
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 Saturn
Even in youth you acted older and wiser and more mature than those around you.
You delight in being trusted and in being practical and responsible. You
respect self-discipline and patience in others and demand it of yourself.
Tending to plod with blinders on toward the distant goal, you may have more
than a bit of Scrooge in you. To find happiness, look around you and become
more aware of life’s richness and variety. Stop and smell the flowers.
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.
Mercury square Nodes
You’re constantly drawn into groups or organizations where you think that
you can make a true impact. The results, though, are not always satisfactory.
You have a ready wit, but you’re not always tactful when using it, and
others seem to take offense. The resulting wrangles and disagreements rarely
add to the group’s harmonious evolution. Although it’s important for you
to get your point across, you must also realize that you’ll have to be
prepared to give in gracefully when others disagree with your way of doing
things. If you keep getting rejected, it’s obviously time to change your
allegiance, or, perhaps better yet, to go it alone.
Mercury conjunct Descendant
You are most comfortable in an environment where people share ideas with each
other. This could be an educational setting of some sort. Or, you may be
attracted to business settings where a constant interchange of information is
the primary activity. This includes areas such as news-gathering, stock and
commodities trading, the Internet, telephones and other forms of
communication. You feel right at home in these frenetic atmospheres. You do
not mind letting others take the lead in conversation, but you yourself have
valuable things to add. So make sure that you make your points.
Venus square Mars
When you are attracted to someone, you usually exhibit a warm, sensual and
caring attitude that makes you an ideal lover. But often you are easily
distracted, either just plain losing interest in the object of your desire for
a time or indulging in other amorous pursuits. This can lead to very stormy
relationships indeed. If you would desire a less strained love life, try
learning a little concentration and self-discipline.
Jupiter conjunct Saturn
You have that rare combination of optimism and practicality that allows you to
be cautious and idealistic at the same time. Because of this, your plans have
a better chance of coming to fruition than do the plans of those who are
overly conservative or who, at the other extreme, throw caution to the wind.
This is an ideal attitude for a businessperson, but it can also be helpful in
interpersonal relationships because it makes you steady and levelheaded, but
not stodgy.
Jupiter square Midheaven
You have high aspirations for yourself, and are likely to have the charm,
grace and social sense to attain them. Self-righteousness and snobbery do not
become you, however. Be careful not to allow your personal pride in your
accomplishments to degenerate into arrogance or selfishness. Your downfall
will be swift and sudden if you begin to think that you are better than your
peers, or that you do not need the assistance of others to make your plans
come about.
Saturn square Midheaven
You are such a perfectionist and are so self-critical that you rarely can
measure up to the high standards you have set for yourself. This causes you to
withdraw emotionally because you can never seem to please yourself. When you
experience these feelings of inadequacy and alienation, it helps to seek the
counsel of a respected friend or advisor. Once you examine the facts of the
matter, you probably will see that you have much to be proud of. Try to lower
your self-expectations a bit.
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.
Pluto square Nodes
You seem to keep getting involved with other people or groups of people that
make you feel overwhelmed by their presence and vice versa. There seems to be
a great deal of intense, and usually quite negative, energy surrounding your
dealings with others. You have such high hopes for your relationships that you
tend to make impossible demands on people, expecting them to perform at
superhuman levels. This of course usually forces them to oppose you, sometimes
quite dramatically. If you would like to lessen the tension and frustration of
your daily routine, try to lower your expectations a bit and let people
proceed at their own pace.
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.
Moon sextile Venus
You are known and loved for your gentle, caring and compassionate nature. You
enjoy making others comfortable and go out of your way to make sure that the
environment is peaceful and calm. Your grace, charm and fair-mindedness allow
you to function in the role of pacifier and peacemaker. There is nothing that
delights you more than reconciling two seemingly incompatible combatants.
Moon trine Midheaven
You relate well to others because you are aware of their needs and will go out
of your way to be sympathetic and understanding. But the reverse is also true
in that you need the approval and support of others in order to feel that you
are doing the right thing. When left on your own, you tend to be fearful and
full of self-doubts, although your constant socializing rarely lets this
become an issue.
Moon trine Chiron
Soft-spoken, gentle and loving, you have great ideas for beautifying the
environment and keeping your neighborhood safe and clean. Your idea of fun
consists of entertaining friends at home rather than spending a night on the
town. Shy and reserved, you are at your best when sharing quiet moments with
your family and a few close friends. You came from a loving home, and your
mother probably doted on her children.
Venus sextile Midheaven
You are very creative and artistic and have a gentle manner about you that
suggests good breeding and good taste. You tend to lack aggressiveness,
however, and think that things should come to you — that you should not have
to dirty yourself with sweat in order to better yourself. And you may just get
your wish, because you have the ability to delight others with your presence
so much that often they are quite solicitous of you. You make people want to
mother you and take care of you.
Mars sextile Jupiter
Your exuberant spirit and constant optimism make you a very effective person.
When you decide to do something, you have the required energy, will and sense
of good timing to pull it off. Whatever other failings you might have, your
ability to work vigorously on your own behalf — and the sense that what you
are doing is the proper thing — will see you through almost any crisis.
Mars sextile Saturn
You have the ability to accomplish much if you narrow your goals and get rid
of unnecessary distractions. You love to organize things so that they work
efficiently, and you are not afraid to deal with those nagging, petty details
that others seem to avoid. Your practical and ordered existence and your
cautious and conservative approach to things allow you to be known as a very
effective person. You may not be the quickest to get things done, but you do
get them done.
Uranus trine North Node
An active and ever-changing lifestyle suits you very well. You delight in
making new acquaintances — you always seem to find something new and unique
in the people you meet. Because you don’t do very well in a daily routine
that is set and predictable, you become easily bored and will want to move on
to something different. Don’t ever be afraid to reach out for the new and
daring — you need it for your own psychological well-being.
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.
Chiron trine Midheaven
Once you discover new and exciting forms of self-healing or therapy, you
cannot wait to introduce them to everyone with whom you come in contact.
Because of your infectious enthusiasm and the respect that you naturally
command, people tend to follow your recommendations. Possessing an uncanny
ability to reach out to those in pain, you can easily remedy a difficult
situation. Compassion and the ability to heal make you a natural for the
fields of medicine, social work or teaching.
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 quincunx Ascendant
You are acutely aware that your own personal needs are often at variance with
the needs of the people with whom you associate. It is a consistent and
nagging problem for you that you always seem to be moving at cross-purposes
with those you love and admire. But it is very difficult for you to stifle
your strong ego and become more cooperative, even though you know it would be
for the better if you did so. If you would have your relationships be less
stormy, learn to compromise once in a while.
Venus semisextile Jupiter
There is a tension in your life that may be so subtle a problem that you may
not even notice that it exists. You are by nature a warm and loving person and
you also have big plans for your life direction. But you sometimes are so
passive and self-indulgent that you cannot get yourself motivated to bring
your plans into action. This frustrates you in a gnawing sort of way. You must
find some way to overcome your own personal inertia if you would make your
dreams come true. Take advantage of stressful situations in your life in order
to move you forward in a positive way.
Mars quincunx Midheaven
There is a tension in your life between the need to be aggressively
self-assertive (the need to have your own way about things) and the need to
have clear-cut life goals to work for. Of course, working out your career
objectives usually involves a certain amount of cooperation with others. This
is where the problem comes in. You tend to think that only you have the
answers, and you do not blend in well with group efforts. It is you,
personally, who want to run the show. This can lead you to constant run-ins
with bosses and authority figures, which may slow down your career progress.
It will be difficult to do, but if you are to be a success you must learn when
to be forthright and aggressive, and when to compromise.
Saturn semisquare Uranus
Most of the time, you have the gift to be able to be productive and effective
in the midst of stressful situations. But, because you seem to thrive on this,
you may be attracted to jobs that are dangerous or filled with tension. There
are other times, however, when it all gets to be just too much to bear. This
causes you to be irritable and temperamental, usually with good cause.
Chiron quincunx Neptune
You possess the social skills, charm and the abilities necessary to fulfill
your innermost aspirations. At times, though, it is difficult for you to
reconcile your shy, retiring side with an outgoing professional persona. You
have a genuine concern for the plight of others and, as a result, will choose
a career where you can be of service. With a belief in the innate goodness of
people, you may choose partners for the wrong reasons. Often they are people
with problems whom you hope to help or reform.
Chiron quincunx Pluto
Provocative and intense, you encourage your family and friends to confront
their emotions as willingly as you do. At times, your demands frighten people
away. Getting things off your chest helps you face personal problems and
strengthens your ability to help others. Therapists, healers, and religious
figures are good listeners who play an important role in your life.
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.
Taurus on the First
Calm and deliberate, you hate to move quickly or act hastily. Very practical,
you feel that every effort must count or you can’t be bothered. Though you
have admirable patience, persistence and steadiness, you can be very stubborn,
and can’t be pushed or pressured into anything. Exuding an earthy warmth,
friendliness and charm, you seem outwardly self-assured because you tend to
repress your inner tension and turmoil. You demand comfortable surroundings
and appreciate the good life, and need to watch a tendency to be overly
self-indulgent. Some may call you lazy and difficult to motivate. Overcoming
inertia does tend to be problem for you and, because you are not by nature a
self-starter, you often need stimuli from others in order to get moving.
Chiron in the First
You want to be well-liked, and your vibrant personality ensures that you will
leave a lasting impression. At times, you come on too strong and intimidate
others with your overwhelming exuberance and enthusiasm. Self-absorbed a great
deal of the time, you will make your mark once you stop feeling sorry for
yourself. As you become more disciplined and cooperative, your uniqueness and
original vision will be a major contribution to the world of ideas.
Chiron in Taurus
Fear of poverty motivates your desire to work hard and make money, often to
the exclusion of meaningful relationships. Beneath your impeccable appearance
and sexual magnetism lies an insecure child seeking approval from peers and
loved ones. Tolerant, generous and infinitely patient, you have earned the
reputation for being the one upon whom others can rely. Once you begin to feel
good about yourself, you won’t feel guilty about all the material things
your money can buy. You are sensual and affectionate but require a great deal
of tenderness and attention in return.
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.
Gemini on the Second
More than most, you understand the value of intangibles: information,
intellectual property, financial instruments and paper assets. Some of your
most cherished possessions may be concepts, and when you do lust after a thing,
it may be a toy or game. You may also revel in the excitement of the
investment game, and here, also, your interests are wide-ranging. You prefer
not to keep all your financial eggs in one basket. Your preference for
diversity is a good thing for your financial safety, because you tend not to
be a buy-and-hold type of investor. Instead, you nimbly and frequently move
your money around. Your strength is flexibility, and the ability to act
quickly on new information. With this agile approach to the markets, you
should be able to take advantage of the most favorable investment climates. Do
keep in mind, though, that your values tend to fluctuate according to the
fancy of the moment, and try to avoid being swept up by the latest fad.
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.
Gemini on the Third
You are full of nervous energy, especially mental energy. Your mind is active
and alert, constantly whirling from one fascinating idea to another. You love
to learn things and you spend much time reading and traveling about and asking
questions. But your learning is often casual and superficial because you
rarely have the self-discipline and intensity to dig down to the deeper levels
of any subject. Your daily activities and routines are a hubbub of constant
hustling and bustling as you burn off your energy. Your speech is bubbling and
at times babbling as you try to get more than one thought at a time out of
your mouth. A great talker, but not a great listener — once you have been
mentally stimulated, you are off to the races again, and it becomes hard for
others to get in a word edgewise.
No planets in the Third
Your third house is not activated by planetary activity. For the most part,
how you order your daily life activities is not an issue for you. It is
something that you rarely think about or have to plan consciously.
House 4: Where You Come From
Being at the very bottom of the wheel, the fourth house is both where you
originate and where you come to rest. As such, it describes your parents and
ancestral background, and later the home or protected space into which you
retreat each day for nourishment and sleep. A deeply personal house, the
fourth is concerned with security and peace of mind, the safety of loved ones,
and how you care for others and yourself. The place of your roots and the
earth beneath your feet, the fourth house rules the house or apartment where
you live and also real estate in general. In your trajectory through life, the
fourth house shows your origins and where you are coming from, just as the
tenth house and Midheaven describe your career and where you aim to go.
Cancer on the Fourth
You are very sentimental about your mother (or the person who played that role
for you as a child), your home, your family and your cultural background. You
fondly remember those times when you felt most secure and comfortable and
loved. You will spend much time and effort trying to recreate those feelings
— security and peace of mind are paramount for you. When you are at your
best, you willingly provide warmth and comfort to all, but, at your worst, you
are moody and unpredictable and very demanding that others pay attention to
you.
Mars in the Fourth
You are instinctively assertive and energetic, but you tend to repress these
feelings. This results in sudden and unexpected surges of anger, resentment
and hostility. This can be controlled only if you become more honest and open
about your feelings. You are at your best if you own property, and you tend to
devote a great deal of time and energy to your home, fixing it up, improving
it, and enjoying it.
Mars in Leo
You are a very proud person. Strong, bold, courageous and self-possessed, you
love to be the one to initiate significant actions. When people expect a lot
of you, you respond positively and will work hard to maintain their respect.
But when your dignity or pride is threatened, you tend to become sarcastic,
arrogant and domineering. Try not to take any challenge or resistance that you
meet as a personal affront. You are stubborn about your right to live your
life according to your own principles.
North Node in the Fourth
Your family and home life are extremely important to you — they tend to
define your day-to-day routine. You’re never more comfortable than when you’re
surrounded by loved ones and relatives — much of your time is spent in
visiting and just keeping in touch. Your home may become the focus of various
community and neighborhood activities because you go out of your way to make
others feel welcome there. Unless your home life is perfectly in order, you
won’t feel at ease out of it. You may prefer some sort of employment or
career that can be carried out from your home, rather than go elsewhere to
earn your keep.
North Node in Cancer
You genuinely enjoy meeting other people, but you’re at your best if you can
do so in the comfort of your own home. Not liking to leave your home or
neighborhood for any extended period of time, you prefer others to come to
you. Those who do come in contact with you are struck by your caring and
obliging nature. You really do make them feel at home. You form the closest
ties, however, with members of your immediate family, especially your parents
and children. You’re at your best when attending or organizing family
reunions.
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.
Leo on the Fifth
For you, life is a stage and you are at the center of that stage. You love the
grand gestures and lavish entertainments that you think life should have in
abundance. With this attitude toward fun and games, it will be very helpful if
you earn a six-figure salary or have inherited wealth, otherwise you will
always be pining for what is out of your reach. But you are quite resourceful
and can usually look like a million bucks even if you only have modest means.
Very romantic when in love, you delight in treating your lover to the “good”
life and will try to impress him or her with expensive gifts and favors —
and you expect the same treatment in return. You are very proud of your
children and love to show them off to your friends and associates.
Moon in the Fifth
Your feelings are strong and vigorous, even boisterous at times, and you enjoy
expressing yourself creatively through them. You have very strong likes and
dislikes and are not bashful about expressing them. When romantically involved
with someone, you delight in the emotional interplay of courtship —
especially the fun-and-games aspect of it. You can be very playful and
exuberant with your lover. And your moods tend to change often so that being
with you can be like being on a roller coaster, not knowing quite what to
expect next. Be careful when taking risks because, although you are quite
game, you do not always show good judgment.
Moon in Virgo
You tend to be serious-minded but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks
that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making
things. You are neat and orderly, and are very concerned with good health
habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate messes and will
immediately clean them up. Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to
be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful
and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at
times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated,
frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to
those you love.
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.
Virgo on the Sixth
You are a diligent, careful worker — an asset to any work place because you
are the one who has the patience to be sure that all the small but important
details are taken care of. Your patience allows you to do tasks that others
regard as drudgery. Your critical faculties are such that you are often
entrusted with analyzing, cataloging and categorizing things so that order and
efficiency can happen. Very prim and proper, you are fearful of doing anything
that might upset your health. As such, you watch your diet very closely and
are able to exert a seemingly superhuman amount of self-discipline in
controlling what you eat.
Libra on the Sixth
You need harmonious working conditions in order to have peace of mind at the
work place. You cannot stand tension or stress and will work long and hard to
see that discordant energies are capped. You yourself will make compromises so
that things can run smoothly. You are also quite diplomatic and will be able
to find a middle path pleasing to all for any dispute. There is ample reason
for you to extend yourself like this — your health suffers significantly
when you are in a highly charged, uncontrollable situation. When things go too
well for you, though, your health can also suffer as you lull yourself into
thinking that you can get away with being lazy and self-indulgent.
Many planets in the Sixth
You have the ability and need to see beyond the present moment and to
sacrifice the present for some future good. Therefore, you have the capacity
to perform tasks or chores that others might regard as drudgery. Moreover, you
have very high standards and are extremely critical (of others and yourself).
You like to be regarded as trustworthy, honest and thorough. Your job is not
necessarily your career though, it is a means to an end. Health (yours and
others) is a major concern — you may find considerable peace of mind working
in the helping professions.
Sun in the Sixth
Long-range goals are more important to you than immediate satisfactions. You
have the discipline and strength of mind to be able to put off fun and see
beyond the moment. A very good worker, you love to use tools and to develop
and use complicated techniques. A good craftsman, you can be trusted with
seeing to it that the minor but important details of a project have been
properly taken care of. You have very high personal standards and are very
self-critical. Your sometimes obsessive concern with hygiene and proper health
care can lead you to endorse enthusiastically the latest health fads.
Sun in Libra
Very sociable, you enjoy being with others and definitely prefer not to be
alone. Warm and affectionate, you go out of your way to make others like you.
You despise ugliness, so that for you being surrounded by beauty and harmony
is a necessity of life. You prefer fine clothing, an attractive home and
pleasant surroundings wherever you are. Your refined tastes may apply to music
and art as well. Because you have the ability to see both sides of any
question, you can at times be indecisive, wavering and faltering when forced
to make a choice. The positive part of this is that you are remarkably
fair-minded and can be trusted to settle disputes. Your greatest challenge is
to make the most of the one-on-one relationships in your life.
Mercury in the Sixth
Your mind is disciplined, orderly and practical. You are very good at learning
new skills and advanced techniques. You love to use tools in your work, and
take great pride in keeping them in tip-top shape. You are a careful, precise
worker and a bit of a perfectionist. You run the danger of being so
super-critical that you worry needlessly about small details and bring all
progress to a halt. Appropriate careers include clerical work, writing,
teaching, and training others to use the skills that you have worked so hard
to develop.
Mercury in Libra
You speak softly and pleasantly. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much
that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease.
An exemplar of culture and taste, you have ideas and opinions that are neat,
elegant and refined. You are known for not jumping to conclusions about
things. Instead, you tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before
making a decision. When in the slightest doubt, you will compromise rather
than ruffle any feathers.
Jupiter in the Sixth
You love to work, especially if your work can expose you to a broad spectrum
of experiences. Once motivated, you have the ability to put off the pleasures
of the moment in favor of some far-off goal. The tasks that you perform,
however, must seem to you to be full of importance and meaning or you will
tend to lose your concentration rapidly. Generally, your health should be
quite good, as long as you can control your tendency to go off on binges every
once in a while. Health problems will usually be controllable by moderating
your lifestyle in some appropriate area.
Jupiter in Libra
You are generally good at balancing opinions and judging issues, but you tend
to be indecisive when it comes to making up your own mind. You are objective
and quite concerned with fair play and justice. But, when it comes to
yourself, you are so aware that whatever you do might upset the apple cart
that you often choose to compromise rather than do anything that might make
you lonely or vulnerable. Relationships are very important to you — you
learn about yourself and grow through observing yourself interacting with
others. Your aesthetic tastes are refined, but expansive and expensive.
Saturn in the Sixth
You usually have a very dutiful and responsible attitude toward your work. You
can be trusted to perform the thankless minor details connected with your
tasks and to do them well. Your highly disciplined approach can make you quite
successful at what you do. Although you are prone to be grumpy and
complaining, you really do enjoy working as hard as you do. A real
perfectionist, what you do is generally careful, thorough and of very high
quality.
Saturn in Libra
Although you take quite a while to make decisions, you usually consider all
sides to a question, all the pros and cons, and the solution you come up with
is very often the correct one. You tend to be very reserved and shy, but, once
you make a commitment to someone (in either a business or personal
relationship), the partnership is forever. You have a strong sense of justice
and fair play and greatly respect the laws and institutions by which you are
governed. As such, you are outraged when others break laws or show contempt
for authority.
Pluto in the Sixth
Your work is done with great intensity. Any task that you take on tends to
absorb you completely. You are a totally dedicated worker, preferring work to
play. You demand to be able to do things your own way and will brook no
interference from anyone, including your superiors. This behavior could be a
source of constant tension for you. Be careful not to work so hard that you
exhaust yourself or you will experience many health crises.
Pluto in Libra
Your entire generation was born at a time of radical changes in society’s
attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. Because of a general
fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual
commitments, such bonds are not made lightly. The result in the twentieth
century was a decline in the prevalence of marriage, an increase informal
living arrangements, and an intense focus on revitalizing relationships.
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.
Scorpio on the Seventh
You are obsessively involved in the relationships that are most important to
you. The very fact of committing yourself to another fascinates you so much
that you don’t take the process lightly. Once you have completed a
contractual arrangement with another, either in a business or personal sense,
you devote yourself totally to making it work. Things may be rocky every once
in a while, with many crises along the way, but your intense loyalty will
allow the partnership to survive. Your delight in observing the mechanics of
human interrelationships causes you to keep pushing and probing and testing
your partner so much so that the relationship always seems to be falling
apart. But you will fight very hard to see that it stays together.
Venus in the Seventh
A close, warm and loving relationship with someone is necessary in your life
in order for you to feel comfortable and personally satisfied. Your refined
sensibilities abhor coarseness or discord so much that you willingly play the
peacemaker, seeking harmony and contentment about you at all times. Be
careful, however, not to make so many compromises for the sake of peace and
quiet that you lose your own sense of integrity.
Venus in Scorpio
Your feelings about others are deep, powerful, intense and complex. When you
like someone, you do so totally and obsessively if you do not like someone,
they do not exist. Your faithfulness and loyalty to your lover is
unquestioned, indeed at times it is too much so — you get so possessive that
you almost smother your partner. At times, your feelings are kept deep within
you and, because they are so complex and intense, they frighten you — this
is the way that you try to ignore them. But the more you try to do this, the
more explosive things get when you eventually do express them.
Uranus in the Seventh
You demand complete and total freedom in relationships. Should you marry,
there will be something unique and different about the union, perhaps
something that will shock others because of the relative incongruities between
you and your beloved. Should your partner try to tie you down somehow, you
will become very restless and impatient and do something to assure your
continuing freedom, even if that involves leaving the relationship completely.
The only kind of people with whom you are comfortable are those that you find
stimulating, exciting and challenging.
Uranus in Scorpio
You, and your peer group, demand to confront life at its deepest and most
meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to
everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially
when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of
healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.
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.
Sagittarius on the Eighth
You have a very honest, refreshing and open-minded approach to sexual matters.
You will only proceed in any liaison if your high standards of ethics and
morality are not compromised in any way. Once these conditions have been met,
you are an enthusiastic participant — willing to experiment if you both
desire to do so and enjoying and needing the more recreational aspects of
one-to-one intimate encounters. You also have an expansive and enthusiastic
attitude toward investments. You are willing to take risks if you are
convinced of the moral integrity of any scheme. You enjoy the thrills and
sporting fun of speculation.
Neptune in the Eighth
You are fascinated by the supernatural. Your heightened sensitivity makes you
aware that mysterious forces are at work behind the facade of ordinary
everyday events. Beware of becoming obsessed and frightened by the fantasies
that you concoct. You may need the help of a respected and grounded friend or
advisor to assist you in separating truth from fiction. Your tendency to fall
into negative emotional states stems from the wholly irrational fears to which
you are prone. Your tendency to act in the opposite manner from what reason
and logic might suggest does not make you very trustworthy in the handling of
money and property, either your own or that of others. It is best to seek
advice before attempting any major purchase or transfer of property.
Neptune in Sagittarius
You, and your entire generation, are heavily involved in investigating and
idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies.
The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the
forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need
of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the “global
village.”
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.
Sagittarius on the Ninth
You are attracted to optimistic and far-reaching philosophies of life.
Although you tend to be a bit conventional in your thinking, you are generally
broad-minded and open-minded enough to avoid any charges of intolerance.
Indeed, you are intellectually quite restless by nature and avidly keep
abreast of the latest trends in philosophy and metaphysics. Your knowledge is
so broad and your enthusiasm to share what you know is so sincere that you may
be attracted to conveying what you know to others as a teacher, especially
later in your life.
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.
Capricorn on the Tenth
You have an incredibly strong need to succeed at whatever life goal you have
set for yourself. You feel that you absolutely must succeed, because you fear
failure. You therefore organize your life with an astounding degree of
thoroughness so that nothing can distract you. Your need to be thorough
usually comes at the expense of speed, making you a bit of a plodder. You are
the ideal person to supervise an ongoing task that must be executed with
precision. Because of your persistence, you are able to make real what for
others are only dreams .
No planets in the Tenth
You have no planets in the tenth house of your horoscope. This definitely does
not mean that you will not have an illustrious or satisfying career — or
that you will never be properly motivated to be a success in life. Far from
it, it means that these issues are not as important for you as they are for
many others. It may indicate that your career goals will be driven by
influences from outside of you, so pay close attention to positive
opportunities that are presented to you. Look to the house and aspects of
Saturn to get further information on where you are more likely to be
disciplined and organized in your life.
House 11: Your Circle of Acquaintances
The eleventh is the last house of relationships: not brothers, sisters and
neighbors who just happen to be around you, not one-to-one partners, but the
circle of friends and associates whom you actively choose. It shows the way
you make and keep friendships, the organizations you join, the networking you
do, and the general way you interact with groups. After you have established
yourself as an individual and learned to form personal relationships with
others, you are ready to think about the common good. This is why the eleventh
often signifies groups dedicated to social or other sorts of collective
improvement.
Aquarius on the Eleventh
You do not make friends quickly because you are wary of others getting too
close to you and making demands on your time. But, once you realize that the
other person shares similar interests with you, you will usually loosen up and
want to spend a lot of time with him or her. As a matter of fact, you are
quite comfortable with the “non-emotionally-involving” nature of
friendships and you will devote a great part of your time and energy to
spreading your circle of relationships. You like to function in group
structures, partly because of the anonymity they afford, and also because you
feel that you can be truly effective and that your efforts can actually bring
results that would be impossible otherwise.
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.
Pisces on the Twelfth
There is a part of you that you try to suppress because it gives the lie to
your usual self-image. While you love to portray yourself as aggressive and
self-directed and in charge of your own life, you have a sentimental, feeling
and caring side that embarrasses you. You become confused and guilty when you
realize that certain situations might be better handled with care and
compassion rather than with your usual devil-may-care bravado. You must learn
to trust in your self-composure to the extent that you know that you can wear
your heart on your sleeve without giving up any of your vaunted independence.
Take the time to help others — it expands and ennobles your humanity and
takes nothing away from you.
Aries on the Twelfth
You have developed a habit of initiating a response to certain stimuli and
then regretting that you did so. It is almost as if you were ashamed to have
notice brought to yourself. Perhaps, when you were quite young, you were told
or led to believe that it was not seemly to be forward or aggressive and that
you should always stifle any attempts to do anything with enthusiasm and
energy. Learn to trust your better instincts. You probably have built in so
many defense mechanisms by now that you will not do anything foolish in anyone’s
eyes. When you feel strongly drawn to initiating something, go for it — you
will be surprised at how effective you can 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.
