SECTION I. The Structure and Intent of Your Life.

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

A. Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis

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

1. Hemisphere

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

Most Planets Setting

You have the majority of your planets on the western half (or right-hand side) of your chart. Your natural tendency is to seek others' approval and to question the probable outcome of an action before putting your first efforts forward.

2. Quadrant

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

Most Planets in the Second Quadrant

You have the majority of your planets in the second quadrant showing that you will seek out the life experience that increases your sense of belonging, your sense of connectedness, your sense of personal expression. You aim to develop a more secure and meaningful social life that offers a wide spectrum of emotional expression and unfoldment. You desire to create.

B. Elements and Modes

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

1. Elements

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

Fire

You have a lot of fire in your chart. Fire is the element of energy, enthusiasm, and immediate and spontaneous focus on the self. You go from event to event selecting projects that give the full range of outlet for your energy. This process of selection is precognitive, instantaneous and automatic. People respond to the inspirational spark in you and your enthusiasm and boundless exuberance is evident whenever you are being your real self.

Earth

Venus is your only planet in an earth sign. Consequently earth element composes a meager 10% of your chart. Earth is the connecting link for your love nature to express itself. You have a natural love of the physical world with its many uses and pleasures. But for all this attraction, you struggle very hard to be practical and have common sense about your acquisitions. Other people are more concerned than you with long term results. You experience frustrations because the material circumstances of your world don't support your picture of what you want. These frustrations ease as you focus on the fundamental building blocks of your future. Progress means focusing on results.

Air

You have 30% of your chart in the air element. You vacillate between being very interested in people and ideas and needing time by yourself. Periodic isolation and an involvement with routine, commonplace activities that do not require innovation are relaxing for you. You need both spontaneous activities as well as predictable patterns in your life.

Water

You have 20% of your chart in the water element. You work hard during this life to develop your emotions. You have lots of opportunity to work on your feelings. Your sense of emotional inadequacy drives you to express your feelings more. The outward appearance of caring substitutes for real concern while you are young; true empathy develops later in life.

2. Modes

The three modes are CARDINAL, FIXED, and MUTABLE. The modes of expression show how you act out your urges in the world. They represent your most basic responding mechanism toward all of life experience. The cardinal planets show direct expression in physical action, leadership ability and strength. The fixed mode planets in your chart show reaction, consistency, persistency, endurance and stubbornness. The mutable planets in your chart show synthesis, blending, malleableness, thought, forethought, debate and wisdom. The following statements show the way the three modes manifest in your life.

Cardinal

You have an abundance of cardinal planets in your chart. You are very active. You are able to choose a direction and go your own way in life. You are stronger than most of the people you know and this gives you a natural desire for leadership. Be aware, you act impulsively and this can be either a strength or a weakness. Try to control your assertions so that you stay in harmony with your environment and you won't suffer from self-inflicted accidents or difficulties.

Fixed

You have 20% of your planets in the fixed mode. You don't have as much stick-to-itiveness as most people. Still, if circumstances require it, you can put forth great amounts of energy in a controlled way, treading water until new opportunities to act present themselves.

Mutable

You have 20% of your chart in the mutable mode. Your natural preference is to act or stay put when a circumstance of significance arises in your life. When important ingredients in your life are beyond your control you are capable of making deep and meaningful adjustments even though this is not your first choice.

C. The Ascendant and Midheaven (Signs and Aspects)

1. The Ascendant

The ascendant is symbolic of our relationship to our immediate environment. This is the point rising in the east when we are born. One manifestation of our immediate environment is our physical body. The physical environment includes our body, our surroundings and our emotional and mental states. Thus, the ascendant tells us how our inner core expresses itself, and how we take in information from others and the universe generally. The sign rising in your horoscope tells us the type of energy you are processing, the type of physical body that you have for doing the processing and the natural inclinations you have in the personal arena in life. The planets in aspect to your ascendant tell us the kind of energy and stamina you have as natural allies in life. The ascendant is opposite the seventh house cusp (the place where we meet others and the world). This axis (ascendant-descendant) is how we clarify ourselves through relationships. Planets in aspect to this axis indicate the types of people and the types of relationships we seek as well as how and why we seek them.

CANCER RISING

You have a deep nostalgic and emotional streak. Family, community and the past color your vision of life and what you see as the possible. Your winning quality is that you are very personable and kind. You are sensitive and may try to conceal the depth of your feelings in any relationship because you are afraid of your sensitivity being used against you. You attempt to make your world safe by excluding anyone or anything that you can't bond with. This means that you have more trouble than most getting new ingredients into your experience. Your relationship to your parents and your parents' relationship to each other will tend to be replicated in all of your interactions in life. Issues that have to do with your family life have a certain priority on your consciousness because of this.

Mercury Trine the Ascendant

You seem to know just what to say to get your message across to others. You find yourself traveling in order to gain more knowledge. The highway of life for you is interesting and communicating your findings to others is part of the excitement. Intellectual expression in some form is necessary for you to keep learning and you are motivated to keep some form of mental improvement going in your life.

Venus Opposition the Ascendant and in the 7th House and unafflicted.

You seek love and beauty from others. You use relationships in order to refine your outlook on life. You have a good grasp of the potential in any situation but may suffer from expecting too much from others. This single quality can lead to your frustration and disappointment at times but it does help others to be their best.

Mars Square the Ascendant

You are often frustrated. The roots of your anger, causing so much pain in your life, are conflicting desires. This conflict can certainly make for difficulties in both your professional and family life. Strive to make your inner conflicts explicit so that you can understand and come to terms with them. Find safe, physical releases for your pent-up energy.

2. The Midheaven

The Midheaven is the high point in your chart. It indicates what you aspire for, what you see as your duty, and what authority and limits are about. Because of this basic meaning the Midheaven indicates how you live out your social station and what you do for your career. The point opposite the Midheaven is the fourth house cusp, referred to as the nadir, which is the indication of our roots, our heritage. This axis (Midheaven-Nadir) indicates the way we grow in life. The sign on the Midheaven shows our basic energy and approach toward dealing with the world. Planets in aspect to the Midheaven show qualities of our inner being that we wish to contribute to the world and that we wish to be fulfilled through our interaction with the outer world.

ARIES MIDHEAVEN

You are quick to start projects. You may not have a lot of follow-through. Basically, career supplies you with an emotional arena. You are quick and like being first. If you have staying power in your career, success comes to you.

Moon Applying Conjunction to Midheaven and unafflicted.

You rise to a position of public note in life. People respond to your sense of how things should be done. You have both a personable side and a broad, general view of life. Strive for honesty and frankness so you are not misunderstood.

Jupiter Sextile Midheaven

You are lucky, optimistic, and confident. You have a good sense of timing in career situations and are good at organizing work and motivating others. People tend to like your positive spirit.

Saturn Square Midheaven

You can hold yourself back in life because you unconsciously fear being in a position with too much responsibility. For all of this, you end up as a leader, having to make decisions and execute them. Others rely on you because you are responsible.

Neptune Trine Midheaven

Humanitarian and spiritual goals tend to motivate career. You have accurate projections as to the course of culture. You are psychic whether you know it or not. Your gentleness and sense of refinement can give you a sustaining faith. You are happiest when using your intelligence for a universal motive.

Pluto Applying Opposition to Midheaven and unafflicted.

Vague fears and deep emotional blocks can stop you from coming into your own early in life. You grow as the deeper fears are transformed into positive and balanced insights about life. You have a wellspring of inner strength and can stand up to a good deal more than most people. Your extremes in mood or thought may be difficult for others to accommodate. Help them by doing some processing of your social interactions each day.

D. The Conjunctions.

A Conjunction occurs when two planets are in the same immediate area of the Zodiac. The conjunctions in your chart show central linkings of basic energies in your life. When one area (represented by a planet) expresses itself, it brings along the other area (represented by the other planet). When you are studying the rest of this printout of your life, keep in mind that linking of these energies is a central theme in your life and these areas should be studied together.

Sun Conjunct Neptune

Think of Sections II. THE SUN - Your ego structure, and X. NEPTUNE -Your spiritual aspirations and ideals, as a single unit. These two very primary ingredients of your being express themselves together. Whatever affects one of them affects both of them. This Conjunction represents a central theme in your life.


SECTION II. The SUN - Your Ego Structure

The Sun is the center of the solar system. All life revolves around it within this sphere. In the same way, the ego is the center of personal identity and gives integration and continuity to individual experience. In this sense, it might be said that the Sun shows character. This is the fixed pillar at the center of the person around which all else circulates or revolves.

The sign placement of the Sun shows the center of the individual's basic character. The sign of the Sun is the most primary indicator of the forms of experience you are attracted to. Further, this most important placement shows how and why you are attracted to these experiences.

The house placement of the Sun sign shows the primary area of expression for the individual in life. There is a psychological, emotional, and physical significance to the house placement of the Sun. Aspects to the Sun show ways that the core of the personality are linked to other component elements in the individual's life. Aspects to the Sun have a deep and overriding significance in the life of the individual and are generally more important, more prominent than other aspects in the chart.

SUN IN SAGITTARIUS

You have a good grasp of the big picture. Although you are overly blunt at times, you have a basic sense of honesty and a lightheartedness which gives the ability to connect with lots of different people. Your overview of life makes you particularly prone to accurate projections. You consciously strive to obtain freedom through self-understanding. This may engage you in philosophic or religious studies, schools or more directly through travel and exploring the great outdoors. You get closer to your goal in life when you become more concerned for the thoughts and feelings of others. You are very quick to react and your spontaneity can be pointing to a lack of sincerity. You learn a lot by consciously reexamining your motives and methods.

Sun in 5th house

You seek out situations which bring you self-expression. You eke out self-definition through some ability to present yourself to others. An aura of the dramatic moves with you and colors all that you do. You have a strong presence and others tend to gravitate towards you.

Sun in 5th house Unafflicted

The urge to create may bring you the opportunity to perform for others. One success builds on another as your confidence grows. You have an instinctive feel for what pleases others.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MOON

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

SUN TRINE YOUR MOON

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

SUN SEMI-SQUARE VENUS

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

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

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

SUN SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR MARS

Extremes of spontaneous energy can lead to accidents, brutality, and explosive temper. Your energy is very powerful but usually unregulated. Guard against selfishness and work to be more helpful and healthy in the way you express your empathy with others' feelings, then your lightening flashes of energy are directed in a useful way.

SUN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

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

SUN SEXTILE YOUR JUPITER

Self-esteem abounds and you are able to help others primarily through example. Because you are comfortable and confident with yourself, you assume an aura of authority. Since others recognize this optimistic outlook in you, and because you have a tendency to instill confidence, you rise in life.

SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

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

SUN SEMI-SQUARE YOUR URANUS

Your search for the best course of action or path of development, invokes a nervousness and erratic pattern of behavior that is difficult for others to follow. You are directed to follow your own impulsive behavior and insights. Your emotional life is in flux every so often. As you learn to listen to others without taking offense, you unfold your uniqueness without running into resistance from the world.

SUN CONJUNCT NEPTUNE

You are an idealistic, mystical, dreamy person with the possibility of great expanse of vision. You are sensitive to others' needs and are empathetic and humanitarian. You are highly intuitive and "drink in" much information subconsciously or semiconsciously from your environment. Time alone in contemplation can be very valuable in sorting out the real from the unreal, the potential from the fantasy. You are subject to periods of being overcome by vague undefined concerns and you benefit greatly from the study of meditation.


SECTION III. The MOON - Your Personal Life.

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

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

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

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

MOON IN ARIES

You have an impelling, immediate approach to life. Your personality is forceful and your feelings lay close to the surface of experience in life and are easily stimulated. Your imagination is very powerful and stays active most of the time. You are independent and can move forcefully into a new situation and make strides forward on your own. You are enthusiastic but try to guard against being too self-willed and strident. Avoid actions that stem from restlessness and you will complete more of the things you start.

Moon in 10th house

You come before the public and will generally long for recognition and acknowledgment. Your career may go through many changes but you will always be looking for an avenue into the larger community. You may receive help from women.

Moon in 10th house Unafflicted

You make meaningful career changes that reflect your inherently ambitious nature. You have the ability to express a good deal of your personality through your job which adds to your increasing career satisfaction.

MOON IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

Your Moon in aspect to your Sun is a central feature of you life. This aspect is the primary indicator of your basic energy. We talked about this aspect in the Section II. The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MERCURY

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

MOON SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR MERCURY

Quick minded and creative, you see more than you can act on. Your habits don't change as fast as your insights. Still, sudden insights prompt you to abrupt actions, leading to unique solutions. Quick-witted, you are able to express thoughts to others as soon as they occur to you.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER

You are religious, dignified with a sense of justice which gives you a public image of being honorable and trustworthy. You are well liked and successful. You have a strong moral sense and are willing to take a stand on your beliefs. The good comes to you in life.

MOON SEXTILE YOUR JUPITER

You are diplomatic, having an uncanny knack for knowing the right thing to say and do for others. Your instinctive belief in uniform, natural life processes, assists you as you discover imaginative solutions to difficulties. You like life and people. They like you back. Trust is the key ingredient that makes life work.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN

You are outwardly successful in life even though you have to go through some inner pain in your personal life. Your greatest virtue is that you do learn from your mistakes. You correct your own actions and go on. Your life may have several low points while you are reorganizing after a setback. You will be hard-pressed to sort out your true responsibilities and may find the day to day planning of your time to be quite challenging.

MOON SQUARE YOUR SATURN

You can be very accomplished in your career because you have the ability to face your own mistakes honesty and without excuse. You are hard on yourself which adds to your feeling of being quite lonely. Finding emotional happiness is only possible by becoming open with people and by expecting the same from them. You want security and accomplishment in life. You can and do achieve this, but try not to let worldly success come at the expense of closeness and acceptance from others. These two values (public versus personal) get in each other's way. You can have both, but patience, understanding, and hard work are necessary. Success is built on past mistakes, analysis, and strong personal drive.

MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You have a deep and abiding connection with music and art. When you are upset or feeling unbalanced; you can gain a sense of peace through music, meditation, and isolation. You are a sensitive and creative soul. As long as you are not too passive, your life has the good fortune to unfold along the path of least resistance. (Becoming too passive can mean stagnation). You are idealistic and believe the best about people. This is good and helps people, but remember to concentrate on people as they are, and not just what they might become. A lofty potential is always there but might not ever manifest.

MOON TRINE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your senses become a deep road to pleasure and your idealistic mannerisms and proposals win you an audience which you inspire. You are very sensitive and need time alone, in quiet surroundings, in order to be balanced. You have a deep appreciation for music and are moved emotionally by its color, rhythm and timbre.

MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You easily get so emotionally "locked up" that it becomes difficult to alter or arrest a pattern once it has begun. You can suffer a lot by cutting yourself off from others. You may end a relationship that you desperately want if you feel the other person may reject you or abandon you sometime in the future. You demand a loyalty from others that isn't only unrealistic, but is also something you are incapable of or unwilling to give to others yourself. Further, you are capable of forming compulsive attachments where you hang onto a relationship long after the other person has left you emotionally or even physically. In either of these cases, clearly you have to come to terms with the issue of power and control. Don't be afraid of not being in control. Achieve self-control, understand your own emotions and your life becomes much easier. You might explore your relationship with your mother as it had a much deeper effect on you than for most people. You have ability to work with large figures and with money and finance. You are able to conceptualize many different items of experience simultaneously. If your emotions don't get in your way, you become a leader in some realm.

MOON OPPOSITION YOUR PLUTO

Emotional standoffs block your growth. Rational compromise stops addictive and self-defeating behavior. It takes tremendous self insight to see that the things that bother you most about others are qualities of your own being. Real change in your emotional nature is not only possible but inevitable. Don't ever lose hope or indulge in thoughts of failure or guilt. Real release of old emotional habits brings instant transformation.


SECTION IV. MERCURY - Your Mental Life.

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. From the viewpoint of the earth it seems to dart back and forth across the face of the Sun, having three retrograde cycles a year. Mercury is the planet of your mental life. It shows how you receive, process and disseminate information. The sign placement of Mercury shows your basic attitude and mental habits. The aspects of Mercury show your scope of vision and your methods for accomplishing tasks.

MERCURY IN SCORPIO

Your mind is penetrating and critical. Avoid being too secretive and you will learn more. Your manner of expression is diplomatic but doesn't truly reflect the peevish probing that is always going on. You are a shrewd negotiator who expresses even controversial ideas in a rather positive manner. Your ideas are predetermined but you are smart enough to know that people don't usually respond favorably to you if they suspect this. You are in your own depths and keep your own counsel. Your life is smoother when you learn to relax, enjoy life, and adjust to changes going on around you.

Mercury in 5th house

You are fond of self-expression. Your interest in learning and communication can come out in the arts, in teaching or a series of hobbies. You may develop several close relationships to children or domestic animals.

Mercury in 5th house Unafflicted

You are generally good with words. Others respond to your critiques and explanations. You are a natural orator, actor or teacher. You find everything interesting and thus are an enthusiastic student. Because you can see and relate to the potential in everyone to learn, you are a good teacher and instructor.

MERCURY IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

This indicates that you have a very personal, feeling mind. You have a very close personal use for your mental life. The details of this connection were discussed in Section III. The Moon -Your personal life.

MERCURY SEXTILE VENUS

You have artistic and literary skill. This comes out in writing and speaking. When you speak, others take note because you are unusually pleasant and diplomatic. You have the ability to switch focus and transform a difficult situation into something quite pleasant. You manage to keep everyone's point of view circulating in front of your mind so you can be good at finding meaningful compromises. In a group you can be a "shock absorber" and a liaison.


SECTION V. VENUS - Your Love Nature.

The planet Venus shows the way you express your love nature and what you aspire for in life as good or beautiful. Venus has much to do with how you form your values. The sign placement of Venus shows the type of love energy you have. The house placement of Venus shows the natural area of expression of the love energy. The aspects of Venus indicate how and under what circumstances you express the gentle and loving side of your nature.

VENUS IN CAPRICORN

You love security, position and pleasure. Your feelings run deep and are lasting. You want to make sure that worldly circumstances are taken care of before you get romantically involved. You are shy and have a deep fear of being rejected. Don't let others have so much power in your life. Reorient your values so that the world matters less and personal achievement is powered from within you. Develop self-reliance. Finding inner peace means being satisfied with what you have and not comparing your situation to anyone else's.

Venus in 7th house

You place a lot of time and energy into relationships. You have a good sense for what others want and need. You have a strong need to please others and wish them to like you. This in itself can be an aid in negotiations and in all of your dealings with people.

Venus in 7th house Unafflicted

You experience much happiness through marriage. You have the ability to compromise and you attract a partner who is so inclined. Your natural instinct is to reach out to others, attempting to incorporate into your own life what you see in them as good.

VENUS IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have an aspect of Venus to the Sun showing that you identify at a very fundamental level with your ability to express the loving, genteel side of your nature. This aspect of your nature was commented on in some detail in Section II. The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

VENUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MARS

You are prone to emotional and financial excess. Your beliefs and values are at odds with your desires and it takes a lot of energy to integrate the two. You may become very interested in the baser, more physical side of romance. This is because you instinctively look for a common denominator between desires and values. The way out of this dilemma is to work at helping others and avoid putting energy into the selfish side of your drives.

VENUS SQUARE YOUR MARS

Conflict between love and desire causes a deep inner struggle. You look for "love in all the wrong places." Dancing, singing, and music are a way that you can create more of a harmonious atmosphere around you. There is a self defeating and self destructive chord in your nature which needs some instruction in the right direction in order to be more beneficial. First, be conscious of your tendency to react to others; then, you automatically start lifting out of the baser side of your nature. When you catch yourself acting in a way that is not in your best interest, concentrate on your ability to defer immediate pleasure for a long range good.

VENUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You have a very unusual and unstable emotional nature. You can be stubborn, cold, and detached one minute, then malleable, solicitous and involved the next. You fall in and out of love easily. You are prone to abrupt but passing infatuations. As you get older, you learn to not act immediately on your attractions. You are in love with freedom and relationships represent freedom to you until you are really in them, then they seem like prison. When you find freedom inside your own soul your relationships become more stable.

VENUS SQUARE YOUR URANUS

You are unstable in the expression of your affections. You want to be close to people but you also want to be free to do what comes up spontaneously. You need to be sure of what you want in the long run in order to channel your emotional and creative energy in such a way that you get accomplishment for your effort.


SECTION VI. MARS - Your Energy.

The sign placement of Mars shows the fundamental nature of your assertions. The house placement of Mars shows the area of your life you are most likely to focus on. The aspects to Mars show how and to what extent your desires and assertions are involved with other aspects of living.

MARS IN ARIES

Your desires are strong and you have an instinctive aim toward all that brings independence. You are bursting with primal energy. Your method for getting what you want is direct, forceful, without much control. Your general attitude is positive and when you want something you don't take "no" because you don't hear it. Your life improves by learning to understand others' point of view.

Mars in 10th house

You have an unquenchable desire to do things your own way. Your energy seems inexhaustible. You live for today but have sufficient drive so that tomorrow looks brighter and takes care of itself when it comes.

Mars in 10th house Afflicted

You demand too much from people around you. Try not to dominate others as a mechanism for gaining control of your environment. Give others the same freedom you want for yourself.

MARS IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have an aspect of Mars to the Sun. This shows that you have a very strong and direct nature. Your energy and vitality are key ingredients to your self concept. This issue is taken up in some detail in the Section II. The Sun - Your Ego Structure.

MARS IN ASPECT VENUS

You have Mars in aspect to Venus. This aspect shows sex appeal and interest in romance. This aspect is covered more fully in Section V. Venus - Your Love Nature.

MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You have quite a temper and your anger will be a stumbling block in life until you have handled it. You hate being trapped and act quite selfishly when cornered. This is overcome when you corral your emotional energy and find some peace of mind. Three things aid in this process. One, you need physical exercise every day in order to feel emotionally balanced and in good health. This is a release for your nervous energy. Two, you need to come to terms with the nature of your desires. Study your own nature to see what motivates you. This allows you to not blame others for your emotions or the situations you have gotten into. Three, develop a long range view of change that symbolizes freedom to you. You are a powerful innovator and just need to re-channel your energy so that you don't have to create and experience so much disharmony.

MARS OPPOSITION YOUR URANUS

Your attitude of being overly combative and challenging has to be moderated somewhat in order for you to get to your goals. Fighting and arguing can be a way of avoiding real change in your personality. Listen when others tell you that you have a "chip on your shoulder."

MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

When you speak, others listen. You stir people to rethink basic assumptions. You need to be careful that high ideals do not become an excuse for inaction, or that theory doesn't take the place of practice. There is a spiritual quality to your thoughts that can point to fanatic rambling and an impractical attitude toward the responsibilities of life. Avoid drugs, alcohol and anything that can be devitalizing. You need to constantly re-check your direction so as to ensure absolute integrity of purpose. You are prone to expound a belligerent philosophy while harboring escapist fantasies.

MARS SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR NEPTUNE

Flashes of insight and inspiration fly from you as you move through life. You are a person in motion, making lots of adjustments for your vision of what is possible. When you are most creative you are often inadvertently self isolating. This happens because your ideals are at odds with most everyone else's conscious aspirations.


SECTION VII. JUPITER - Your Values.

Jupiter is the king of the planets. He is in charge of the order of creation. Jupiter shows your values, where you feel confident and in control, and where you feel you have something to teach others. The sign placement of Jupiter shows your values in life. The house placement of Jupiter shows the area of life you feel luckiest in and the area you receive the most help from other people and from the cosmos. The aspect patterns to Jupiter show the direct network of good and administrative power in your life.

JUPITER IN AQUARIUS

You value personal freedom and are motivated to overcome all obstacles in order to experience a higher vision of truth. You like anything that gives you creative expanse, and are naturally attracted to explore new ideas and experiment with the results in new ways. You have a need to show some originality in your work, and look for opportunity that stimulates you mentally. You have a good imagination and are fond of using it. This is not just a personal crusade as your picture of the world includes bettering other peoples' lot. You are both tolerant and humanitarian. You can become too theoretical; at times, you daydream about ideals rather than living them. However, your humanitarian instincts ground your ideas, demanding to see some sort of application for your values. Although you are not particularly interested in money, you may be in charge of other peoples' resources as an outgrowth of your higher vision of a better world through the application of scientific, socially futuristic, and humanitarian values.

Jupiter in 7th house

You expect to experience fun, joy and excitement with other people. You expect that others will give you the best they have to give. You may marry several times or just have a lot of fun and adventure with your spouse. Others may think you take your relationships too lightly but the truth of the matter is you believe deeply in each person and are genuinely sorry if a long-term relationship doesn't work out.

Jupiter in 7th house Unafflicted

In the process of linking your values, talents and resources with others, you help create abundance for all. You are a natural builder, achiever and partner.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE SUN

You have an aspect from Jupiter to the Sun showing a deep connection between your values and your ego. As a consequence of this you have a stronger faith in your beliefs than most people and you are more likely to act on them. You have the potential for being quite an inspiration for others. In Section I. (The Sun - Your Ego Structure) there is more commentary on this trait of yours.

JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have an aspect from Jupiter to the Moon showing an interest in expressing values through your daily life. What you believe has more impact on what you do than it does for most other people. The information on this topic in Section III. (The Moon - Your Personal Life) may be helpful in grasping how you do this.

JUPITER IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR NEPTUNE

You have spiritual insight into problems that aids your skills in finding solutions. You emit a certain charm that greases the wheels of life. You have broad appeal that engenders trust in the general public, regardless of whether or not you can sustain this trust from those who see you close up.

JUPITER SEXTILE YOUR NEPTUNE

Your faith in life and in people gives you a gift. You are able to turn difficult situations into positive ones. Further, any time you concentrate on your own talents and innate goodness, circumstances improve.

JUPITER IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

You have natural leadership qualities, insight into social and spiritual needs and a sense of humor that stops you from taking yourself or the world too seriously. You have the ability to teach others because you emit a certain magnetic charge on all that you say and it stays with people. But, more important than your skill at disseminating information is your ability to find and go directly to any situation that will help you learn and grow. You are on a quick track in this life and have determined to work on improving the attributes of your personality that need development the most. You will have material abundance in this life but it may have little importance to you once attained since you are really looking for freedom, and the material abundance only brings you more worldly responsibilities.

JUPITER TRINE YOUR PLUTO

You have luck that won't quit, and consequently you are often cushioned against the worst results that could have come from the mistakes you make. You explore and experience a lot and sometimes take a wrong turn or go too far. But you do learn. You have a knack for turning defeat into a fortunate opportunity to grow and change perspectives.


SECTION VIII. SATURN - Your Obligations.

The planet Saturn shows where you feel restricted. You feel obligations and fears through Saturn. Because of your feeling connected with Saturn you are either responsible or neglectful. The sign placement of Saturn shows the basic type of energy connected with your obligations. The house placement of Saturn shows an area of life that you feel restricted in and work hard to obtain the things that come to you. The aspects of Saturn show the most direct involvement of other areas of your life with your feelings of responsibility.

SATURN IN CANCER

You are fearful of others hurting you emotionally. Consequently, you have great difficulty being open enough to be vulnerable. You are quite sensitive but you don't know how to let others into your inner recesses. You tend to be pessimistic and that doesn't aid your cause. Avoid allowing your opinions and past history to close your mind. You can become more emotionally expressive. You are happier when you take this step.

Saturn in 12th house

You are deep inside of yourself. You are reserved and prone to periods of seclusion. You need to be left alone when you are working as you are so sensitive to everything and everyone around you.

Saturn in 12th house Unafflicted

You have a long history of being able to devote your attention to important issues of social change. Sometimes you are too quick to take on struggles for others. You have a real capacity for selfless service.

SATURN IN ASPECT TO THE MOON

You have Saturn in aspect to the Moon showing a close relationship between your upbringing and your emotional outlook. This connection is explored in its essence in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life.

SATURN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS

You have a balance respect for the new innovative insights (that are always occurring to you), for what empirically works, and the traditional approaches to which we still have attachments. This can give you an air of diplomacy and stoicism. You know how to get things done and have some patience with circumstances in the world.

SATURN TRINE YOUR URANUS

Good organizational skills and diplomacy leads you toward continuous progress. Because you have inherent respect for tradition, you build your future on firm foundations. You experience more freedom as you get older.

SATURN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO

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

SATURN SQUARE YOUR PLUTO

Distrust of people and life in general can create a very negative pattern which you end up having to surmount. You can interpret life experiences as being quite harsh which can usher in a very cold and cynical attitude toward others. Life has its struggles but it improves when you learn to relax. This isn't easy but is required.


SECTION IX. URANUS - Your Search For Freedom.

The planet Uranus is beyond the orbit of Saturn and can't be seen without the aid of a telescope. It represents the sky in us, that which transcends the limits of finite life. Uranus raises the vibration of everything it contacts. The sign placement of Uranus shows your broadest striving for freedom. The house placement of Uranus indicates your area of direct unique expression. The aspects to Uranus indicate the way you express your need for higher consciousness.

URANUS IN LIBRA

You have a special genius for getting involved in unusual relationships. You may supply leadership or just be a member of the team, but you really come into your own in cooperative efforts.

Uranus in 4th house

You learned self-expression from your family. Being your own person was an important value. Your career may have many peaks and valleys as your need for uniqueness may periodically override your need for accomplishment. The game of life is won or lost on abrupt changes that challenge your ability to adapt.

Uranus in 4th house Unafflicted

You will have several changes of residence. You express yourself a lot through your environment. Your desire for personal freedom grows stronger as you get older. You express this desire through social involvement. Your ability to find a unique expression for your desires becomes increasingly linked to the well-being of society and your fellow man.

SECTION X. NEPTUNE - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals.

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

NEPTUNE IN SAGITTARIUS

You believe that the power to visualize a better world will create it. You have a love of freedom and philosophical ideas; you are by nature optimistic.

Neptune in 5th house

You have a taste for beautiful, cultural things. You wish to create something of beauty during your life. You have artistic and dramatic ability which surfaces during all of your day-to-day activities. You have lots of fantasy in your love life. You may adopt children or your marriage partner may have them already when you meet.

NEPTUNE SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO

Your higher ideals are the continuous recipient of forceful energy for change. Your long range perspective (even though this may at times be unconscious) is always toward your ideals winning out through deep self transformation.


SECTION XI. PLUTO - Your Need For Fundamental Change.

The planet Pluto represents the dark underground part of you. It shows your ability to transform the most fundamental properties in your own inner nature. The sign of Pluto is the way the obsessive, compulsive and committed part of your nature expresses itself. The house placement of Pluto shows the area of life where you make your most fundamental and most potent changes. The aspects to Pluto show the deepest most unconscious links in your personality structure.

PLUTO IN LIBRA

At best, you are genuinely in love with peace and beauty. You wish for justice and harmony. At worst, you are detached to the point of having no particular viewpoint of your own. You go with the winds of fortune, rationalizing and blocking all the way. Expressing your true feelings to others helps you access the deeper issues that sidetrack your attempts to transform your life.

Pluto in 4th house

SECTION XII. SUMMATION.

A. YOUR UNIQUENESS

Part of your style of being a person is tied to your personal method of adapting to and interacting with other people. This aspect of your personality shows itself through every aspect of how you deal with the environment. This method of your being encourages as well as reveals your uniqueness.

YOUR MAJOR PLANETARY ASPECT IS A TRINE.

You like to do things in a big way. You are optimistic and expect to win. Your positive attitude and general long range view in life gives you the best possible chance to make something good come from your various talents. Even setbacks look like an opportunity to grow. Your ability to avoid difficulty seems like luck to others while it is a natural and obvious skill to you. Your keyword is Enthusiasm.

B. YOUR EASIEST AREAS.

The following material is an index of things that you have developed as inner resources. You may take them for granted, but in times of reevaluation and rest this part of your personality can provide you comfort and strength.

Well-Aspected Jupiter.

Your sense of humor and your optimism buoys you up. Your self confidence opens doors for you. The fun loving, joyful side of your nature aids you in all forms of achievement. Your belief in yourself opens doors. Improvement comes through your faith in life.

Sun in the Fifth House.

Your talent for self-expression is a great asset. You put your best foot forward when you are creating something. Whenever life stagnates ask yourself if you are having any fun with what you are doing. Often you are able to improve circumstances by simply demanding more enjoyment out of life.

Venus in the Seventh House.

Your natural love for others brings out an inner joy. Relationships are a constant source of self-expression and excitement. You have a deep inner conviction in others.

Mars in Aries.

Energy is your secret key to success. Your quick responses to changes in circumstances and hard-hitting attitudes that uphold your desires bring you victory. Being impulsive works for you.

Mars in the Tenth House.

You are led to a position of effective self-expression that is quite public by the logic of your actions. You have the ability to choose your direction and go your own way.

C. YOUR MOST PERSISTENT DIFFICULTIES.

This material describes the "cutting edge" of your work on yourself. The thoughts rendered here are meant as further guidelines for growth. You should take difficulties and challenges in the right spirit. They are always positive indicators as to how you can experience the joy of becoming a better person and more like your REAL SELF.

Afflicted Mars

Your desires often get you into trouble. Rechanneling your energy into something constructive is very difficult. Your natural tendency is to repress your wants or to trade one extreme, like anger, for another such as lust or greed. Your energy is still a winning quality and good effort eventually brings good results. You can learn to redirect your impulses through hard work, patience and consistent attention to results.

Moon in the Tenth House

You are easy to see but difficult to be close to. You mingle well with the public but have difficulty letting others know your real inner nature. Your personal life improves as you get over a deeply rooted fear of others.

Mercury in the Fifth House

You have a natural skill for creating and imitating. This quality of your mental life really comes into its own when you are able to expand your normal mode of mental activity to gather new information without recourse to and use of the material.

Saturn in Cancer

Your fears often stop you from being as open with people as you might like to be. This fear can lead you into miscalculating your real obligations. You have often spent time trying to help others in ways that didn't really aid them while ignoring the things that you could easily do for them. Through understanding, it is possible to overcome some artificial barriers and apply your skills in ways that really benefit everyone.

D. THE GROWTH ASPECTS


The Growth aspects operate differently than other aspects in your chart. While it is possible to use them descriptively, as showing finer shades of meaning within the chart, we wish to use them in a different manner for our purposes. The growth aspects are tools of self development. If you apply attention to the various qualities in your nature linked through the growth aspects, you will see positive change over time. These qualities generally do not show quick effortless solutions, but instead show a path of change requiring exertion and emotional honesty. Under these circumstances, the way these aspects of your nature change through time are truly amazing. The qualities mentioned here can be the very mechanisms to release the highest, finest side of your nature.

Mercury in Growth Aspect to Mars

You work very hard in learning to adequately express your desire. The process starts by recognizing that you have urges and feelings that don't emerge very directly. You come to understand your drives and urges more clearly, as you learn to express your desires. There is a transformative process here. Through knowledge, your desires change into something more satisfying for you.

Mercury Quincunx Mars

General circumstances as well as other people encourage your reach to exceed way beyond your grasp. Anger and impulsiveness carries you way beyond your resources. Left in a highly overextended position, you can end up wasting immense amounts of energy trying to do what you said you would do, or running away from situations you created through lack of forethought. Recognition that your ideals are different from the actual circumstances sets you in the right direction.

Mercury in Growth Aspect to Uranus

You come up with ideas that sound great but are not possible to materialize. Remember, genius may be partly inspiration but not every idea is worth the effort to make manifest. Your inner life can generate thousands of good ideas that you can't do anything with. Be discriminating and your efforts are less likely to be wasted.

Mercury Semi-Sextile Uranus

Pay attention to the unique thoughts that occur to you. Occasionally they are prompting you toward innovation that will change your life. Approach change with courage and patience. Many ideas that occur to you will require tremendous investment of time in order to alter your direction significantly.

Venus in Growth Aspect to Saturn

You limit your own arena of emotional expression. Getting over your fears and learning how to correctly value your self and others is the path to positive, responsible expression of your feelings. The path of self knowledge requires some fine tuning of your way of exploring relationships. Overcoming fear of others and your inherent shyness only happens with practice. The rewards are that you learn about yourself while getting closer to others.

Venus Quincunx Saturn

You have difficulty seeing what you are actually responsible for in relationships. Consequently, you take on more responsibilities than necessary in order to insure the continuation of your relationships. Do people like you for you or because of what you do for them? You are easily confused on this point. If you are busy doing things for people, they never get a chance to know the real you.

Saturn in Growth aspect to Neptune

Learning to correctly administer the time and energy to get the most out of your ideals requires a good deal of effort on your part. You are never able to completely ignore social responsibility, but you do learn to put it in perspective. Overcoming senses of social guilt requires you to continually adjust to your ever deepening urge to be involved in other people's lives. Contributing time or money to socially conscious organizations of the culture is a start to positive involvement with others.

Saturn Quincunx Neptune

You are very sensitive to the suffering of other people both individually and collectively. How you handle this sensitivity is to a large degree responsible for how fast you are able to develop the finer qualities of your own nature. When you get brutally realistic about your ability and obligation to bring about change in the world, you discover a kindlier and more genuine quality emerging in your personality that will express itself through any cultural or artistic pursuit.

E. THE DECLINATIONS

There is another dimension to your astrology chart. This has to do with planets being the same distance from the celestial equator. When both planets are on the same side of this plane there are called parallel. When the planets are the same distance but on opposite sides of the celestial equator they are referred to as being contra-parallel. Both of these aspect activate your ability to organize and reorganize some aspect of your life.

Sun Parallel Venus

A feeling of love and beauty fill you at some deep level and you are able to translate this into positive expectations about the future. You possess a sweetness and have a knack for creating harmony.

Venus Parallel North Node of the Moon

Your love of beauty and harmony is very much part of your path of growth and self exploration. Real development of your finer qualities seems to automatically require a series of value-driven relationships. These can be either financial or romantic and sometimes both.

Saturn Parallel Ascendant

A gloomy outlook can color your approach to any project. It takes a good deal of work on yourself to let your natural conservative tendencies find a wholesome expression. When you are very disciplined and comfortable with a cautious and easy going way about your life, you are rewarded many times over. Your timing can be off with any project if fear stops you from moving forward or anxiety or excitement get you moving quicker than the project can sustain. Even tempered momentum coupled with an "easy does it" attitude, is the way to win in most situations.

Sun Contra-Parallel Saturn

Your strength in life develops out of your deep, serious outlook on life. At your best you are practical and at your worst you are too "turned in" on yourself. This can lead to depression. Slow progress made carefully, over a long period of time, seems most real to you.

Sun Contra-Parallel Ascendant

Much of your self-esteem and self awareness comes through the picture of what others think about you. On the other hand how you feel about yourself has a lot to do with determining the content of relationships. Improving your life means finding ways of improving your way of relating.

Venus Contra-Parallel Saturn

Your desire to prohibit rejection can cut you off from the deeper aspects of relationships. You have the ability for stability and loyalty, but a feeling of depression and a gloomy outlook can rob your life of joy. Staying focused on something positive to do with your energy and staying in motion allows you to put your best foot forward.

Venus Contra-Parallel Ascendant

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

Mars Contra-Parallel Uranus

You feel that circumstances dictate quick responses from you and this means that you often struggle to make your erratic behavior constructive rather that abrupt and accident oriented. Correctly channeled, you are able to create new and unusual ways of completing your everyday tasks. You can be in a hurry but this can end up giving you much leisure time.

F. YOUR KARMIC DIRECTION

The Moon's North Node is an all encompassing and instructive point of synthesis in the chart; we could easily start or end our analysis with this one single factor. Because this indicator is so all inclusive it most shows your karmic direction in life. The sign placement of your North node points to your destiny. When your actions, interests, and values are structured by this position, your general sense of personal well being improves. The house placement of the North Node of the Moon indicates or points to an area of life, an arena of experience. By confronting, even augmenting this arena you can inadvertently improve every aspect of your life. By dealing with issues connected to the North Node placement in your chart your general character strengthens and refines.

North Node of the Moon in Sagittarius

Learning to take a stand on your own perception and innate judgment improves circumstances and processes in your life. Listening to others' judgments can be a mechanism for developing a larger and more positive vision of what is possible. This is your path of development and accomplishment. Be willing to take a stand on your higher values regardless of consequences. You have a habit of ascribing a point of view to circumstances. This is a past life pattern that has allowed you to escape responsibility, and now keeps you from getting no more than superficially involved with any project. Develop an unrelentingly positive point of view and them adhere to it. From this, both a moral conscience and a maturity emerges.

North Node of the Moon in Sagittarius and in the Sixth House

You switch from being overly particular to downright careless. Life is much easier for you when you have a plan and avoid long periods of time involved in your inner life without contact with the external world. You want to serve others but good intentions don't substitute for actions. Growth comes through operating out of a plan that you have faith in.
