Natal Chart Report for Jack

Introduction

WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?

Astrology is an ancient field of study. As far back as we have recorded history, we have astrological concepts. Further back, scratches (made by Neolithic hunters) on reindeer horns correspond to the phases of the Moon.

Astrology uses the patterns of the heavens to more fully understand life on Earth. The positions of the planets are seen as symbolizing personality traits and tendencies, as well as human cycles of development. Using a horoscope is like looking in a mirror; we can see ourselves more clearly and easily as unique individuals. Just as the mirror does not set our appearance, but only reflects it, so the planets do not create our personalities, but only reflect them. Using astrology to describe personality strengths, weaknesses, talents, abilities and challenges requires a natal (or birth) horoscope. A natal horoscope is like a map of the sky for your instant of birth, looking from the viewpoint of your birthplace. Your moment of birth gives a "freeze frame"--an exact snapshot of the positions of all the planets. No one else has the same horoscope as you--unless they were born in the exact same place, at the exact same minute, as you were. The next few pages of this report will introduce you to the basic tools of astrology--planets, signs, houses, and aspects (how the planets relate to each other at a given moment) The remainder of the report will be devoted to interpreting each of the planets in your horoscope, in terms of their placement in signs, houses, and aspects.

Astrology sees mankind as being not only influenced by hereditary factors and the environment, but also by the state of our solar system at the moment of birth. The planets are regarded as basic life-forces, the tools we live by as well as the basis of our very substance. These planetary forces take on different forms, depending on their zodiacal position and on the way they relate to one another.

The aspects formed between the planets describe these relationships, the positions of the planets in relation to the place of birth tell us of their expression in the spheres of life depicted by the astrological houses.

By interpreting the roles of these players (the planets) and their qualities (the elements, signs and houses) and creating a synthesis, astrology is able to present a complete and comprehensive picture of the person and his potential, based on the natal horoscope.

Welcome to your Natal Chart report.

Your Natal Chart report is an astrological chart based on the mathematically precise positions of the planets and the Sun & Moon at the time, date and place of your birth. It provides you with insights into your character and personal life potentials by indicating the strengths you have and the challenges you experience in life.

Your Natal Chart report covers, among other things, your primary motivation in life, your identity, emotions, mentality, love and sexuality, spirituality, earning ability and career potentialities and so on.

In some parts of the report you will come across apparent contradictions in the descriptions of your character. This is to be expected. Individuals are complex and contain many contradictory facets to their personality.

THE FIFTH ELEMENT (!)

Western traditional sources also take into account a fifth element, the 'quinta essentia'. This very simply describes the soul or the spiritual being of a person. It stands apart from the other four elements and is not depicted in the horoscope. This is why it is frequently overlooked. It takes us beyond the doctrine of the four elements and their application in the field of astrology. It hints at the freedom of man and reminds us of the great mystery of the eternal.

Ascendant

The Ascendant describes your self-presentation and image, the face you show the world, and the nature of your personal and wider environment.

The Ascendant is in Aquarius

Your primary motivation in life is for freedom of action and freedom of movement. You have a modern, contemporary and progressive outlook on life, with an enthusiasm for the new, the unusual and the innovative. You have an individual and original personality yet, at times, can be unconventional, eccentric or unpredictable. Others are attracted to you because you're friendly and interested in people. You are accustomed to a lot of change and variety in your day-to-day life.

The Ascendant is quincunx the Sun (1°16'A)

You have a strong desire to become important or to gain the esteem of others. With a knack for meeting people who can assist you in the advancement of your own personal interests, your success in life is commensurate to how well focussed and enterprising you are. You can be inclined to overwhelm other people with the power of your personality, and you may display excessive pride or egotism. Difficulties may be experienced in your relations with others through arrogance or self-glorification.

The Ascendant is semisquare Mars (0°52'A)

A strong character, you express an assertive and occasionally forceful personality towards others in the environment. Your manner is direct and frank. You are ambitious for recognition and achieve successes through your own efforts and self-motivation. You are a good organiser and like being in charge of situations. Giving orders or instructions to others comes naturally to you. In general, your physique is strong and hardy and you recover from low-level illnesses or injuries comparatively quickly. You face life's battles head on and are rarely daunted by much at all. Negatively, you can be pushy, argumentative and prepared to resort to bullying tactics to get your own way. Also, a tendency to rush into things, without considering the consequences, can place you in awkward situations. Patience isn't one of your more recognisable traits.

The Ascendant is square Pluto (2°37'A)

You have great will-power and a real sense of purpose, which you can direct at projects of personal interest, however you will need to learn how to work with others if you require their assistance. You can behave in a compulsive and obsessive manner, which gets things done, but is unlikely to win you any popularity contests. Others perceive you as a person who can be coercive and controlling. You are intense and dominating and, as a consequence, often find yourself embroiled in power struggles. In extreme cases, you can come across as dictatorial and, if you feel your authority is threatened, you are not above resorting to ruthless or oppressive behaviour.

Sun

The Sun describes your sense of personal identity, your creative expression and ability to realise your individual potential and gain recognition.

Just as the Sun is the centre of our solar system, so is it the centre of the horoscope. Our Sun in the solar system provides light and makes life possible. The Sun in the horoscope is a key to vitality, life force, and our central, creative urge. The Sun represents our need to shine, our desire for recognition, our self-esteem, and pride/shame issues. Wherever our Sun is (in one of 12 houses, and in one of 12 signs), we want to be admired, noticed, loved, or applauded by the world. We feel most vital and alive when expressing the themes of our Sun's house and sign. Since it is a key to vitality and zest, we naturally pour energy into the activities represented by our Sun's house and sign.

Keywords: self-esteem, life force/vitality, creativity, risk-taking instincts, pride, star quality, fun-loving spirit, inner child, drive for excitement, need for recreation, speculative side, sexual passion, need to shine.

The Sun is in Cancer

You place great importance on emotional and material security and you have a strong desire for marriage or partnership. Domestic and family matters are always important to you, as is your need to care for and protect others. It is very likely that you know the history of your family. The study of genealogy may interest you at some stage. You are very sensitive and impressionable. Your actions and decisions are usually emotionally motivated, and your instincts and intuitions are especially acute. You can, at times, be clingy, touchy and over-emotional.

The Sun is in the 6th House

Work matters are always important to you. You gain recognition in life through the development and expression of specific skills and expertise. You like routine and consistency in your work and are suited to employment in the service industries. You like to be of service to others, however, you need to guard against being taken advantage of or exploited. Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is important, as your vitality levels can fluctuate. An interest in health and hygiene may incline you to medical work.

The Sun is opposition the Moon (3°35'S)

You have a strong desire for inner harmony and experience periods of feeling totally at one with yourself, alternating with periods of feeling out of sorts. Relationships, throughout the course of your life, influence your personal growth and development considerably. For instance, your parents may have had tension between them, and your experiences with partners can be testing to say the least. Dissatisfaction with the status quo will spur you into action and fuel your creativity. At times, you will experience a conflict between attending to important duties or pressing demands and pursuing personal interests or hobbies.

The Sun is semisquare Jupiter (2°21'A)

You are motivated to expand in all areas of your life, having the drive to better yourself and the where-with-all to recognise opportunities and seize them. You are a larger than life personality whose enthusiasm for living is boundless if, at times, somewhat over the top. You know how to enjoy life and indulge yourself, however you can overdo the good times and pay the price with your health or wallet. You can be quite reckless and careless with money, yet it is unlikely that you will be strapped for cash for very long, as a talent for wheeling and dealing is evident. Guard against thinking you might be above the law, because the consequences could be damaging to your reputation, or freedom. Self-promotion and extravagance come naturally to you; modesty and moderation do not! You are inclined to exaggerate and blow things up out of all proportion.

The Sun is opposition Neptune (0°19'A)

You are highly sensitive and impressionable, with a tendency to be easily swayed by others, prone to seducing influences or susceptible to intoxicants and stimulants. While you may be inspired with the best of intentions and ideals, you often lack the power and motivation to bring them to realisation. Equally, you may be prone to recycling periods of low vitality and physical frailty. There is a susceptibility to self-deception and moodiness or seducing influences that can lead to scandals. Your father may have been an unknown quantity to you, or even absent. Positively, you may have spiritual inclinations, coupled with a fascination for metaphysical or esoteric subjects. Your inner life is very active, and mystical or psychic experiences are not unfamiliar to you. You have compassion and an ability to feel and understand the needs of others with sympathy and empathy. You may be gifted with a measure of inspiration and creativity, which may express itself through the arts - especially music, painting, photography or drama.

The Sun is trine Pluto (1°22'A)

You are motivated by the desire for power, which you can harness and put to good use. Possessing natural leadership and organisational abilities, you are usually able to persuade others to follow your lead. You are a determined person who usually manages to get your own way through a tenacity of will and a consciousness of objectives. At certain junctures in your life, you will feel the pressure to transform and re-invent yourself, by taking on new identities after old ones have fulfilled their purpose.

The Sun is sesquiquadrate the Midheaven (1°23'A)

You have the power to succeed and to realise your personal goals and aspirations, but only through great effort and self-motivation. You will tend to fluctuate between having a clear awareness of your objectives and periods of aimlessness and a lack of direction. Success and professional respect is important to you and you take pride in your accomplishments, however you may find that your career and family life are occasionally at odds. Your parents may not approve of your vocation, which can cause a rift in your relationship with them, however it is important for the development of your own personality that you strive to realise your aims.

Moon

The Moon describes your emotional nature, instinctual behaviour, and unconscious response patterns, and sense of home and family.

The Moon (which shines by reflected light) is a key to our inner emotions, particularly our need for emotional security and safety. It symbolizes our dependency needs and our desire to nurture and care for others. It represents the people we depend on, the parent who was a nurturing figure, and our capacity to be an assisting, helpful, caring individual. It also is a key to our home, our roots (ancestry), and our sensitivities.

Wherever the Moon is (by house and sign), we want to nurture or be nurtured, to make warm, emotional connections with others. Family feelings may be sought or explored and emotions are the focus.

Keywords: emotions, security needs, caretaking instincts, dependency needs, drive to nurture, vulnerabilities, homing instincts, receptivity, moods, habit patterns, women (including mother).

The Moon is in Capricorn

While you are someone who feels things deeply, you experience some difficulty expressing your innermost feelings. Rather than freely showing your emotions, you tend to keep them under control. A serious person, you know and accept your responsibilities, especially towards your family. Other people are inclined to look to you for support, as you have an inner strength and maintain a cool head under pressure. You are ambitious for success and professional advancement.

The Moon is in the 12th House

You can face recurring anxieties and fears that seem to come from out of nowhere and can limit you or affect your self-confidence. You are a naturally shy and private person, when it comes to revealing your real feelings. You need frequent "time out" in seclusion to regain your emotional strength. Mis-directed emotions or indiscretions could work against you, and the enmity of women is possible.

The Moon is sesquiquadrate Jupiter (1°14'S)

The difficult or challenging aspects (such as this one) between Jupiter and the Moon are not usually too demanding, due to the planets' mutual connection to the sign of Cancer by exaltation and sign rulership. You have a kind heart, a helpful and an obliging nature, coupled with the desire to help others in need. Philosophical and religious questions occupy your mind, however you can experience personal conflicts over matters of outlook and your spiritual beliefs. You will most likely have connections with overseas countries or foreigners through travel or international business contacts. At worst, there can be a tendency to slothfulness, greed or over-indulgence in pleasure-seeking activities.

The Moon is conjunct Neptune (3°16'S)

You are highly perceptive and sensitive to influences around you and able to pick up on the feelings of others and sense the mood of a situation. Your empathic manner attracts others to you, and you know how to comfort and soothe those in need. You tend to have an idealistic outlook on life and can be quite dreamy at times and content to just go with the flow. You are easily inspired and have a vivid imagination with the ability to tap into a wide range of creative talents. Your dream-life is also likely to be active and you possess a certain psychic sensitivity. Occasionally, you need time to yourself and periods of low-key activity. At times, you need to be cautious of deceptive influences or undermining emotional currents within the family or involving women. Also, guard against being exploited by others, or of being susceptible to psychic influence.

The Moon is sextile Pluto (2°14'S)

Your feelings are deep and intense, and frequently complicated. The dynamics of your family life and individual relationships are intricate and sometimes challenging. However, you have acute instincts and can usually sense emerging difficulties in associations and deal with them before they become unmanageable. You can become obsessed with particular objectives and will concentrate your emotional energy into attaining their realisation.

The Moon is sextile the Moon's North Node (4°22'A)

You are able to cultivate a feeling of closeness in your personal connections. You are generally accommodating and supportive in your relationships and devoted to the important people in your life. Women and family are important to you and strong contacts will be established with them.

Midheaven

The Midheaven describes your highest aspirations in life and means to self-fulfilment, your personal vocation, and your status as perceived by others

Midheaven indicates one’s career tendencies, public image (as opposed to private image), the parent of greater influence (usually the mother), and people who may have power or authority over you (bosses, judges, etc.). Yes, planets IN this house affect the career. So does the SIGN at the beginning (the cusp) of the house, as well as the RULING PLANET of that sign.

The Midheaven is in Scorpio

Self-realisation is achieved through overcoming desire and managing power. Your aim in life is to unlock the secrets of nature. You attain your objectives through tenacity, perseverance and determination. You have abilities for research and investigative work.

The Midheaven is trine Mars (0°59'A)

You have the power and the determination to realise your most personal aspirations and to achieve successful results in your career. In general, you enjoy harmony between your domestic and professional lives, with each actively supporting the other. While you are competitive to a degree, chasing the same goals as others doesn't interest you as much as setting and achieving your own objectives.

The Midheaven is opposition Jupiter (3°44'A)

Despite being a challenging aspect this planetary combination is of great assistance to you vocationally, as it facilitates your ability to rise to high positions in your career. You have the desire to do well in life and to advance personally and professionally. Others may seek you out for your advice and those in power tend to be favourably disposed towards you. You may do well in areas related to spirituality, publishing, travel, law or education.

The Midheaven is semisquare Neptune (1°41'A)

Uncertainty and confusion regarding your aims and aspirations is a recurring theme throughout your life and you may find that lasting professional recognition eludes you. Chances are that you will expend a great deal of energy on a career that doesn't bring the rewards you expect for your efforts. There will be many periods in your life when you question what you are doing and where you are going. You may suffer from bouts of insecurity and self-doubt, and often feel that you're not achieving your potential. In fact, if you're honest with yourself, you might not even be sure of what your potential is.

Mercury

Mercury describes your mind, your powers of communication and intellectual reasoning, your ability to formulate and articulate ideas, and to make decisions.

Mercury represents our need to communicate. It is a key to our verbal ability, our logic, and our capacity to be objective and detached. Mercury symbolizes the conscious, reasoning mind that observes the world, gathers information, learns, teaches, and disseminates knowledge. Wherever Mercury is in our horoscope (by house and sign), we are curious, interested, and want to know. We may learn and/or teach in that area. Our Mercury placements help to describe our verbal styles and the way we use our minds.

Keywords: urge to communicate, thinking, listening/talking, and capacity to learn cognitively, adaptability/flexibility, information-gathering skills, casual contacts, logic, conscious awareness, dexterity, intellectual perception.

Mercury is in Gemini

You have a quick and agile mind, with the capability to hold more than one train of thought at a time. You are a versatile thinker and communicator who is naturally curious and inquisitive. With learning, you can become knowledgeable in many subjects. You take an interest in what's going on around you, however you can be superficial and inclined to gossip.

Mercury is in the 5th House

You may have an interest in a variety of artistic or creative pursuits. In some capacity, you may be suited to working within the entertainment industry. You may have abilities in such fields as acting, media presentation, art criticism, writing, stock market investing and analysing or sports commentating. In matters of the heart, you tend to be drawn to intellectually stimulating and vibrant people. You are generally fond of children and know how to relate to them on their own level.

Mercury is conjunct Venus (4°53'S)

Your thoughts are more often than not on love matters or creative expression. You have a naturally pleasant and entertaining manner, which enables you to easily interact and communicate with others. You enjoy social activity and are great company because of your sense of fun. You have a creative intellect, with an eye for beauty and artistic design. You enjoy discussing creative concepts and ideas with others, especially with those whose aesthetic tastes are similar to your own. You may also have talents as a speaker or writer. Your thinking often revolves around relationships and love-related experiences. It is important for you to be able to express your ideas, emotions and affections towards those who are close to you.

Mercury is square Mars (3°55'S)

You have an alert and agile mind, with the ability to think quickly and on your feet. In discussions with others, you have the gift of repartee and the ability supply a ready answer when challenged. Direct in your verbal and written communications, you know how to be convincing and how to press a point. You enjoy instigating or participating in debates, and have the ability to recognise weaknesses in an opponent's argument and to quickly seize the upper hand. You are able to think for yourself and put your own ideas into action, usually with unfaltering determination. You thrive on mental stimulation and challenge and, if other things in your chart support it, will direct your energies into research or academic work. Alternatively, you can be verbally aggressive and obstinately intent on making your point. You will brook no opposition to your plans, and can become impatient and irritable with others, which may lead to strained relations and bust-ups caused by hasty words or conclusions. Your worst traits may be sarcasm, defiance and colourful language. Minor accidents, such as cuts and bruises are possible, usually as a result of impatience or acting before thinking.

Mercury is square the Moon's North Node (2°45'S)

Communication in your relationships is of primary importance to you, and you like nothing better than exchanging plans and ideas with others. You prefer the company of mentally stimulating people and will form intellectual contacts. Your acquaintances are likely to be business people, academics, students, teachers or educators. Alternatively, you can adopt a critical attitude towards others and be dismissive of their thoughts or suggestions. Difficulties can arise through inconsiderate and insincere behaviour, or the tendency to talk about others unkindly.

Venus

Venus describes your appreciation of beauty and the arts, your powers of attraction, and your capacity for close personal relationships and love affairs.

Venus represents our need to enjoy the physical world and the world of relationships. Venus could be called the pleasure principle; we may seek pleasure through money, possessions, tangible beauty, or sensual gratification. We may also seek pleasure through relationships, through sharing, through partnerships with others. Venus is a key to affection, love, our need for balance, our appreciation of beauty, and our orientation toward ease, comfort, and personal enjoyment.

Wherever Venus is in our horoscope (by house and sign), we want to enjoy! We seek pleasure, comfort, ease, beauty, grace, love, and goodness in the areas inhabited by Venus.

Keywords: desire for pleasure, sensuality, urge for comfort/ease, need for tangible beauty, drive for stability/predictability, sweetness, affection, relating needs, material assets.

Venus is in Gemini

You enjoy change and variety in your love and social life. You are attracted to people with stimulating minds and keen intellects, and communication with a lover or partner is a top priority for you. You, or a lover, can be flighty and flirtatious in your emotional relationships, which can lead to problems in the long run.

Venus is in the 5th House

You have a strongly romantic nature and will probably enjoy many affairs of the heart. You know how to live and how to enjoy life's pleasures. You are easy-going, popular and well-liked. Other people are attracted to you for your infectious sense of fun. Children, in particular, find you easy to get along with. You appreciate the arts, and are probably artistically talented in some form of creative expression, especially acting, dancing, music or writing.

Venus is square the Moon's North Node (2°08'S)

In general, you have well-developed social skills, coupled with the ability to be charming and pleasant towards others. You prefer the company of refined and socially sophisticated people, and tend to cultivate friendships with creative people and move in artistic circles. However, you can experience disharmony in relationships caused through asocial conduct, such as snobbery or pretentiousness.

Mars

Mars describes the way you act and assert yourself, your basic urges and desires, and your ability to achieve personal goals.

Mars represents our need to assert ourselves, to defend our own rights, to identify and go after what we want in the world. Mars can be a key to healthy self-expression and personal power, but it can also represent aggression, fights, arguments, anger and negative forms of assertion.

Mars is an indicator of our basic physical energy and health, sexual drive, where we seek freedom, our desire to do things on our own, and our sense of basic identity. Wherever Mars is in our horoscope (by house and sign), we want to express ourselves, be free and be active. If the personal energy symbolized by Mars is blocked, we might experience physical or interpersonal problems as a result of not defending our own needs. If we carry Martian themes too far, we may be rash, impulsive or self-centred in the areas where Mars lies.

If we balance our Martian side with other drives, we can be assertive in a healthy fashion, meeting our own needs and drives in a constructive manner.

Keywords: assertion, self-expression, independence, personal power, desires, spontaneous instincts, immediate needs, anger, sexual drive, early identity, doing one's thing, need to be first, energy level.

Mars is in Pisces

Whenever you are faced with confrontation or aggression, your first instincts are to wait and see what happens. You prefer to avoid conflict and feel uncomfortable with competitive or aggressive situations. In general, you find it difficult to assert yourself and others can sense this and take advantage of it. You can easily be diverted; thus you have to work hard against straying away from an objective. Sometimes your willpower fluctuates, much to your annoyance.

Mars is in the 2nd House

A certain amount of your energy and drive is directed at making or spending money. Impulse buying is not unknown to you! On occasion, you may be prepared to take financial and business risks. You can find the challenge of wheeling and dealing appealing. Less positively, there can be conflicts over money or personal possessions.

Mars is sextile Jupiter (2°45'A)

Successful action is the catch phrase of this aspect. You have an excellent sense of timing and rarely miss an opportunity. In fact, you have a sense for recognising defining moments and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. You are a productive, energetic and resourceful person, with the ability to organise your affairs and others well. If other factors in your chart support it, you have managerial and business capabilities. At the very least, you are decisive and able to make decisions quickly. Enterprising and creative, you enjoy beginning new ventures and seeing them through to their successful conclusions. Competitive, in a good-natured way, you most likely enjoy sports, adventurous games or various forms of physical exercise.

Mars is sesquiquadrate Pluto (1°45'A)

Quite simply, this aspect gives you the power to express your energies in either a positive and constructive manner or in a wilful and destructive fashion. Either way, you are a force to be reckoned with. Positively, you have extraordinary powers of endurance, coupled with the capability to work to the point of physical exhaustion; much like the battery in the TV advert that has the energy to keep on going, long after the others have run out of power. Negatively, your desire to dominate, influence or manipulate situations and people can backfire and create resentment in others and induce power struggles or confrontations. You are inclined to come across as forceful and aggressive, and if you don't get things your own way, can become emotionally reactive and vengeful. In extreme circumstances, you can be obsessive, abusive, violent or cruel. Injuries are possible in high-risk situations or environments.

Mars is conjunct the Moon's North Node (6°40'S)

You have a strong desire to participate with other people in team efforts, however in order to achieve successes together you need to tone down your tendency to dominate or compete with others. Quarrels and disputes often interrupt your efforts with others due to you being aggressive or confrontational. Still, if you can bring these traits under control, a lot can be achieved in joint undertakings. Team sports are an excellent outlet for this astrological pairing.

Jupiter

Jupiter describes how you relate to the larger world beyond your personal self, how you expand in life, and experience higher learning, travel or religion.

Jupiter represents our need to believe and to aspire. It indicates our ideals, what we tend to value and want more of in life. It is also a key to where we can exaggerate or overdo. Jupiter indicates potential opportunities and the confidence to pursue our visions.

Wherever Jupiter is in our horoscope (by house and sign), we tend to place our faith. We are likely to seek more in that area, and may even over expand. (If we see something as good, more is better.) Jupiter's placement may indicate that an individual values money, or a partner, a religion, etc.

Where Jupiter is a key, we may idealize (and put a part of life on a pedestal) or expect more than is possible. Jupiter symbolizes our optimistic spirit, where we tend to look on the bright side, have hope, and see the highest potentials.

Keywords: ideals and goals, beliefs, values, morality/ethics, faith, optimism, quest for the truth, philosophy/religion, drive for expanded horizons, high expectations, seeking the best/highest, expansiveness.

Jupiter is in Taurus

You have an accentuated desire to acquire and to gain material security. With regard to judicial or religious concerns, you tend to hold orthodox philosophical views and conservative attitudes. You know how to enjoy the good things in life, however you can be inclined to over-indulgence and excessive sensuality.

Jupiter is in the 4th House

In general, your home and family life tends to be happy and positive. You can usually rely upon your family's support and loyalty. Relations with your parents is generally good. As a rule, you can do well in your place of birth. Also, you should enjoy wealth and comfort in your retiring years. Your home may be an environment of learning or teaching. You may change residence frequently or live abroad.

Jupiter is sesquiquadrate Neptune (2°03'S)

You are a selfless and compassionate person who is emotionally sensitive to the needs of others. Spiritual subjects interest you greatly and it is possible that you possess psychic ability. You have a great amount of imagination and inspiration, which you may effectively channel into creative expressions such as music, theatre, dance, film or painting. As you sometimes see the world through rose-tinted glasses, you risk setting yourself up time and again for sudden encounters with reality. On a more mundane level, you may have an enthusiasm for gambling and risk-taking, however it is impossible to tell if your speculations will succeed or fail - so take care, especially if you cannot afford to lose. You may have a taste for intoxicants and stimulants that can get out of hand, if you don't exercise sufficient self-control and restraint.

Saturn

Saturn describes your experience of reality, your fears and inhibitions, where you are serious, and how you respond to society's rules.

Saturn represents our need to structure life and test reality. Saturn is a key to the limits of life: what we can do, cannot do, and have to do. It is also symbolic of authority figures in our lives: from the rule-maker parent (usually Dad) to police officers and presidents. Saturn symbolizes our career, our conscience, our ambitions and our need to have power over the physical world.

Wherever Saturn is in our horoscope (by house and sign), we learn to face reality and what is possible. We often deal with consequences (cause and effect).

Saturn represents the principle of learning through experience (sometimes the "school of hard knocks"). Where Saturn principles are carried too far, people may feel blocked, inhibited, incapable, incompetent, or unable to do anything. Where Saturn principles are ignored, people may push the world (or others) until they discover certain principles (including the laws of the land) are bigger than they are; eventually we reap the consequences of what we have sown. People who are balanced in their expression of what

Saturn represents are practical achievers who do as much as is possible within the structures of society. Saturn is a key to our capacity to learn by doing, to deal sensibly with the material world, to work responsibly, and to produce tangible results.

Keywords: reality quotient, response to and desire for authority, attitudes toward the orthodoxy and what society deems appropriate, practicality, capacity to deal with limits, career drives, sense of responsibility, discipline/ effort, status ambitions, urge to solidify/contract, wisdom of experience.

Saturn is in Sagittarius

You are serious about philosophy, religion and higher education. You desire to be recognised as an authority in a field of higher learning. Possibly, you possess intense intellectual pride. However, you can become one-eyed and resistant to exploring alternative ideas. You can experience difficulty admitting to errors of judgement.

Saturn is in the 11th House

You can be a bit of a loner, who sometimes feels uncomfortable in social situations. You tend not to make friends easily, however, you have the capability to cultivate genuine and long lasting friendships through effort and steadfastness. You can gain through the patronage and goodwill of older and experienced benefactors. Take care that you don't fall victim to false or deceitful acquaintances.

Saturn is conjunct Uranus (0°07'S)

This aspect happens only once every 46 years due to the slow orbital speeds of these two planets. Socially, it represents periods of violent disruption in the world and the sudden tearing down of established structures: consider, for example, the resulting break up of the Soviet Union following the most recent conjunction of Saturn and Uranus in 1988. On a personal level, you often feel tense and churned up inside, as you struggle between the urge to conform and the urge to assert your individuality. One side of you wants to be like every one else while the other side cannot bear the thought of it. For your own peace of mind you need to find a balance between these conflicting aspects of your character. You are quite rebellious and will buck against anyone or anything that restricts your freedom. Also, when you feel the pressure for change building up within you, don't suppress it because you may cause yourself unrelieved mental anguish or physical tension, even injury. Politically, you may be a liberal one day and a conservative the next, or an autocratic democrat!

Uranus

Uranus a generational planet - describes areas of personal and peer group uniqueness, your intuitive awareness, and your ability to adapt to the new and sudden.

Uranus represents our need to change and alter. It is a key to our drive for individuality and uniqueness. Uranus symbolizes our need for the freedom to be different, to explore alternatives, and to look toward the future and progress.

Wherever Uranus is in our horoscope (by house and sign), we need to be independent. We need to come from our own unique essence. Our Uranus placements indicate where we seek space, where we can innovate and be inventive. (They also indicate where we can be surprised.) Uranus mirrors our urge to consider alternatives, to be open and to be equalitarian.

Keywords: individuality, freedom drives, inventiveness, originality, humanitarian instincts, detachment, pull toward the future, eccentricity, innovation, sudden changes, interest in technology, the new or "cutting edge".

Uranus is in Sagittarius

You are motivated by the desire to carry through reforms that reflect your own and your generation's particular outlooks on life, despite inevitable confrontations with traditional or conventional forces. You are involved in innovative and experimental developments in learning and education - as either a student or educator.

Uranus is in the 11th House

You tend to have friendships with people who stand out from the crowd, or who are different in some way. Your choice of friends in life may not always meet with the approval of others. Friends may range from geniuses and innovators to social isolates and eccentrics. At times, you could feel like an outsider yourself. Friendships are likely to be formed and broken suddenly.

Neptune

Neptune a generational planet - describes your personal and peer group experiences of spirituality, your powers of inspired fantasy, and areas of illusion.

Neptune represents our need to merge and seek transcendence. Neptune is a key to our search for the beautiful dream. That may be sought through art, through healing or helping activities, or through escapist means.

Neptune indicates our drive to experience Oneness, to be a part of the whole, to connect with something Higher or ecstatic in life. We may seek transcendence through spiritual or religious paths, be "swept away" in nature worship, look to drugs for ecstasy, live in a "perfect" fantasy world, or find inspiration in philanthropy and compassionate assistance of humanity.

Wherever Neptune is in our horoscope (by house and sign), we want to be inspired and must be wary of rose-colored glasses. We need to feel uplifted where our Neptune is placed, and may fool ourselves into viewing matters through a romantic haze. We seek transcendent experiences in the areas connected to Neptune in our horoscope.

Keywords: quest for Oneness/Union/transcendence, idealism, quest for infinite love and beauty, intuition, saviour/victim potentials, compassion, imagination/fantasy, mysticism, escapism.

Neptune is in Capricorn

You are inclined to hold idealistic or unrealistic views about big business, multinationalism and governmental policies. However, you are equally aware of the danger of placing indiscriminate faith in established structures because you recognise their fragility. You are part of a generation that witnesses the dissolving of national boundaries, through such phenomena as the Internet and global communication.

Neptune is in the 12th House

You can be prone to experiencing unusual fears and anxieties. Personal care is needed with respect to the effects of alcohol and drugs, as abuse of these substances could result in your undoing. Positively, you can become involved with charity work and caring for the needy. You do not generally seek recognition for doing good deeds.

Neptune is sextile Pluto (1°03'S)

Neptune and Pluto are the solar system's slowest moving planets, thus aspects between them last for a great number of years and consequently their effects are less personal and more collective. Since 1940 and continuing until about 2040 they are in sextile aspect to each other. The major effect of this is to accentuate spiritual awareness and development, en masse. You are part of a generation that is intent on exploring and refining the inner aspect of life and consciousness itself. You will be aware of a universal interest in metaphysical subjects, clairvoyance and psychical research.

Pluto

Pluto a generational planet - describes your personal and peer group experience of upheavals, forces beyond individual control, power, and irreversible changes.

Pluto represents our need to relate intimately with another person and with our own psyche. Pluto is another key to sexuality: our drive to share the world (especially sensually and financially) with another person―and learning about ourselves through interacting with someone else.

Pluto also indicates our inner drive for self-mastery, self-insight and self-understanding. Pluto themes have to do with depth analysis, tearing things down and regeneration and transformation as well. Wherever Pluto is in our horoscope (by house and sign), we tend to probe beneath the surface. We tend to pick at, and examine carefully those areas, looking for hidden meanings and deeper layers. We may tear down and then build up, analyze carefully, and then rework and transform.

Pluto also symbolizes our approach to shared resources, money, and sexuality. Pluto represents our deepest, most intense feelings and our capacity to share power, pleasure and possessions with another person.

Keywords: intensity, drive for self-mastery, intimacy instincts, sexual needs, drive for transformation, elimination/completion urges, resentment/forgiveness, probing, complicated motives, compulsions, addictions, resourcefulness.

Pluto is in Scorpio

You are a member of a generation who has the power to wield a powerful influence on others through the use or misuse of sexual energy. By nature, you are emotionally intense and prone to power struggles.

Pluto is in the 10th House

You desire a measure of power and recognition in life. You can achieve positions of authority in your profession. However, you may need to guard against dictatorial inclinations, as these can cause unfavourable reactions in others. Possibly, an employer, or some similar authority figure, may treat you unreasonably at some juncture in your life.

Moon's North Node

The Moon's North Node a mathematical point - describes how you interact with others socially and the types of unions you form. The sign and house of the North Node represent circumstances and activities that usually feel unfamiliar. It’s the “secret shadow” of the South Node sign, and it’s the key to getting that craving met. That’s why the North node reveals an area of massive growth potential in your life. It’s the key to getting energy flowing.

Sometimes in the astrological literature, you will see interpretations that color the North Node as all positive, and the South Node as all negative. Sometimes they suggest that you should strive to move “toward” the North Node and shun the qualities represented by the sign of the South Node. As if that were possible. This is not necessarily a constructive idea. Your South Node indicates an area of massive talent. The idea is to strike a balance between both sides.

Important Point: When you finally learn to express your North Node, the positive traits of your South Node sign shine through. We tend to cling to our South Node sign, but if we do, we are seldom happy with the result. Ironically, it is only when we concentrate on our North Node sign that we get what we want from our South Node placement. Usually, only the North Node is included in the horoscope. There really isn’t any need to show the South Node because we always know where it is, exactly opposite the North Node. The Sign position of your nodes shows the main battle you have to deal with. The House position shows which area of your life that struggle will take place.

The Moon's North Node is in Pisces

You tend to form associations with people who share similar inner understandings and beliefs. Relationships based on shared spiritual insights and values are very important to you. There may be a risk expecting more than is possible of others and of being let down.

North Node in Pisces means that you have to develop your imagination, intuition, and sympathy. Your South Node is in Virgo, showing a tendency to put too much emphasis on little details, so much so that you get bogged down. Virgo is the sign of lists. Put some free time on your schedule. Do nothing a few times a week. Just hang out and let your imagination drift. It’s good for your health. If you insist on “keeping busy”, do some volunteer work at a hospital, nursing home, orphanage, even a prison. Some place connected with restriction (Pisces rules places of restriction). Don’t forget animal shelters. Or do something creative. Perhaps a workshop in art or dance. Study Yoga, Tai Chi, or take up meditation. And don’t be so insistent on details when it comes to sex.

The Moon's North Node is in the 2nd House

Your karmic lesson in life is to feel at ease with wealth and possessions. It doesn't matter how well-off you are financially, but how content you are with your material circumstances.

Moon's South Node

The Moon's South Node a mathematical point - describes challenges in your relationship with others - shows the place where you feel comfortable. Too comfortable. If you stay there, you get into a rut. And worse. Your life can stagnate. That effect is heightened if there are planets making a conjunction to the South Node.

Picture the South Node as your roots and the North Node as your leaves and branches. You have to grow in the direction of the leaves. If you spend too much time on your South Node roots, you get root rot.

The South Node represents habit patterns from childhood or from past lives. These are comfortable patterns, but they often get in the way of you having the kinds of connections you want with other people. These are especially powerful if you have a planet conjunct the South Node in your chart.

The sign and house placement of the South Node tells where you have a tendency to totally overdo things. There is a longing there, a craving that is very strong. The nature of this longing is shown by the sign of the South Node. For example, in Taurus, the craving is for material security. In Leo, for recognition. In Gemini, for information.

The sign and house of the North Node represent circumstances and activities that usually feel unfamiliar. It’s the “secret shadow” of the South Node sign, and it’s the key to getting that craving met. That’s why the North node reveals an area of massive growth potential in your life. It’s the key to getting energy flowing.

Sometimes in the astrological literature, you will see interpretations that color the North Node as all positive, and the South Node as all negative. Sometimes they suggest that you should strive to move “toward” the North Node and shun the qualities represented by the sign of the South Node. As if that were possible. This is not necessarily a constructive idea. Your South Node indicates an area of massive talent. The idea is to strike a balance between both sides.

The Moon's South Node is in Virgo

The South Node in Virgo suggests an innate practicality and sense of order, but also a sense of panic an anxiety when things do not go as planned. Therefore, you may burden yourself and others with rigid expectations of proper behavior or “perfect” situations. The North Node in Pisces represents this lifetime’s mission: let go of worry and work on developing a sense of the connectedness of everyone and everything. Your longing for order and perfection is satisfied only through the realization that everything is in divine order, even if our limited human minds perceive only chaos.

A too critical or pedantic attitude will cause rifts between you and others.

The Moon's South Node is in the 8th House

Your karmic challenges in life are to accept the facts of life, hard as they may sometimes be. You may have to deal with inheritances, legacies or shared financial arrangements.

Vertex

The Vertex is a point in the horoscope that can indicate a sense of destiny working through another person or outstanding event. It may be stimulated by transits, progressions or directions, other people (synastry/composite) or a change of location. The house and sign position can offer clues as to where the change or turning point may take place and in what way. All students are encouraged to watch the vertex in their own charts, determining for themselves the relative value. After all, we never know when Vertumnus might enter our garden in the guise of someone else, offering an unexpected turn of fate!

When there are transits or progressed aspects to the Vertex, the qualities of the Vertex sign will be emphasized. Under favorable aspects, we are drawn by people (indicated by the House position) to express the aptitudes of the Vertex sign. Under afflictions, we seem to have problems with the Vertex sign energy..

The Vertex is in Virgo

In this lifetime, the individual will be drawn to provide a service which brings something to a practical, useful order. Since the anti-vertex is in Pisces, the individual already understands and has experienced confusion but now you must learn to bring order out of chaos. Remember, Virgo rules useful service, not servitude. One client has this Vertex in the 7th and she is an accountant, working on the financial chaos of others.

Chiron

Chiron's placement in the horoscope often pinpoints an area where we do for others what we would, but cannot do for ourselves. Significant transits, whether from the Outer Planets or from Chiron to the natal Chiron placement trigger important developments in our dharma, that special something we've come to give to others. Through this process, often the journey of lifetimes, we ultimately secure our own freedom and release from pain.

Chiron in the chart often reveals wounds resulting from traumas that we have received in the very early stages of life. Sometimes, however, the wound is very ancient, seemingly inexplicable in terms of one's experience but always central to psychological themes that are repetitive and chronic. Or an event of little outer consequence takes on an exaggerated meaning because it ties into an old soul issue, a leitmotif in the tapestry of lifetimes. The issue at hand is very intrinsic to the person's spiritual quest.

Chiron takes on greater significance for those who consciously take up the Path or who, at least, consciously are inspired by a sense of mission. Dreams and revelations, intuitive understanding and mystical experiences often relate to the Chironic theme.

Chiron is in Cancer

The superficial interpretation would be that there were childhood troubles with the mother. Brilliant deduction. Hey, who didn't have some childhood problems with both parents? The real key here is how we dealt with it. The positive part of Chiron in Cancer is that you can be very nurturing. This is a very good position for therapists and caregivers of any sort. The negative side is that you find it difficult to nurture yourself or let others nurture you. Everybody has some degree of difficulty in growing up and severing that psychological umbilical cord with mama. Chiron in Cancer people tend to take a longer time than most to do the job. Once you do this, though, and learn to accept as well as give nurturing, you should be fine. So stop whining and complaining.

This person feels like a fish out of water. They often express feelings of "otherness". Some joke about being adopted or being space aliens because they feel so different from their home and cultural groups. There can be indications of childhood abuse, abandonment by the father, and early childhood trauma, if other aspects support this, or there are hard aspects related to family. Chiron in Cancer can indicate difficulties in starting one's own family later in life. Some actively refuse to start families of their own because their early life was so insecure.

You need to bring about the fullest potential in the instinctive and protective way in which you deal with your base (home). The answer lies in the missing part of something you have. It may be that, for instance, you are too home-loving and need to explore its opposite. Or it could mean you are refusing to create a home and need to be more more motivated to create one. You may need to express emotions that you instinctively hide and protect from others (water).

Chiron is in the 5th House

If you need romantic advice, go to someone who has Chiron in the 5th house. Please don't ask them about their own love life, as that would embarrass them. You can also go to people who have this placement for advise on children, sports and games, gambling, and the stock market. Realistically, one does have to look at the rest of the chart because, after all, about one out of twelve people have this Chiron. And you wouldn't, of course, ask a five-year old who had it for advise. But this placement is generally good for counseling in those areas. Just remember to do as they say, but don't do as they do. Chiron in the 5th house can make for folks who are great coaches, helping players to perform better than they themselves could. It could also show people who are great with kids, but either have chronic troubles with their own, or have none of their own. This can be an indicator that you can train your children to be happier and more successful than you ever could. Watch out though. If Chiron is afflicted, you will drive your kids to succeed in the areas that you would have liked to succeed in but that they don't really like at all. The most frustrating one is the great lover who can always satisfy their partner better than they themselves could be satisfied.

Ceres

Ceres describes the ways in which we face the issues of Self-worth and self esteem, relationships to our parents and children, attachment, dependency, loss, separation, rejection, grief, sharing work and productivity.

Ceres in the Signs shows how we meet our needs to give and receive nurturance; our nurturing style and the types of things that make us feel nurtured, and what we need from ourselves and others to feel unconditionally loved and accepted.

Ceres in the Houses shows where we are most readily experience the need to give and receive nurturing.Ceres also indicates what kind of experiences will foster feelings of self- love and self-acceptance, or self-rejection and critical attitudes.

Ceres is in Pisces

Ceres in Pisces people identify nurturing with compassion. Such a person receives nurturance through feeling connected to and unified with a reality beyond him or herself. Nurturance is expressed through alleviating the suffering of others - either through empathy or inspiring in them the qualities of faith, universal love, and recognition of a transcendent reality. Self-acceptance may be based upon the ability to serve others selflessly without expecting anything in return.

Imagination and fantasy are the keywords here. Ceres in Pisces folks are nurtured by anything imaginative. Being near the sea, hearing the sound of the surf, and smelling the salt air will also do the trick. When you are in a down mood and need someone to listen to your troubles, to lend an uncritical and sympathetic ear, find a person with Ceres in Pisces.

If imbalances occur when the individual does no receive the proper reassurance and emotional support as a child. This often leads to feelings of helplessness and powerlessness which in turn promote the victim-martyr syndrome.

Ceres is in the 2nd House

Ceres in the second house represents an urge to nurture by providing fundamental needs - shelter, food, and money for loved ones. There can be an obsessive attachment to what/whom one loves, creating struggle for independence on the other end. Nurturing yourself may take the form of buying things, indulging, or pampering yourself.

If well aspected, your physical nurturing needs will always be provided. And you will tend to nurture others in the same way.

Pallas Athene

Pallas Athene, Goddess of Wisdom and Justice, patroness of the arts and protectress of the state, describes how we face the issues of learning, creativity, the arts, politics, healing, alienations from relationships, competition, and the fears of success.

Pallas Athene (the Roman name for the Greek Athena) shows our ability to recognize patterns, to arrange and re-arrange things, our skills in problem solving .

Pallas Athene is in Aquarius

This placement can solve the most difficult problems in ways that are startling and unusual. The patterns that it makes are either insane or touched by genius.

As inventor or genius, she creates science fiction art, computer graphics, new music and radical art.

The wisdom of Pallas Athene in Aquarius is the the Wisdom of the Future - Creating forms that will benifit generations to come.

Pallas Athene is in the 1st House

Pallas Athene in the first house suggests a strong personal indentification with intelligence, power and/or creativity. There can be a tendency to express androgynous qualities or defy conventional male/female stereotypes.

Juno

Juno describes the ways in which we face the issues of compatibility, receptivity to others, mutual sharing, trust jealousy and power struggles.

Juno in the horoscope gives a good indication of the kind of marriage partner that we need and will get. Not the partner we think we want (those are ruled by Venus and Mars), but the one we need and actually wind up with.

Juno in the signs describes twelve styles of relating and meeting our intimacy needs. If these needs are denied, then Juno signifies the subsequent neurotic interactions that we will experience.

Venus and Mars show what we consider to be our ideal man or woman. The 5th house describes the type of people we tend to get involved with romantically. The 7th house tells us the kind of person our first marriage partner will be (and the 9th house describes our 2nd marriage partner, if any). Juno works on a more fundamental level.

Juno is in Gemini

You should never marry a silent type. Talk, talk, and more talk in a partner is what you need. It also helps if they are versatile and clever.

Juno is in the 5th House

Juno in fifth house indicates that the relationship can be used to inspire and support one's personal creativity. Children often contribute to the sense of creative fulfillment. Thus, the major focus of partnership can often center on parenting. The most important relationship interactions will occur with children, lovers or creative endeavours.

Marriage tends to improve creativity with this placement. The partner would also tend to be a creative person, or good with children, sports, games, and hobbies.

Vesta

Vesta 's placement in the horoscope shows where and how we can be dedicated, where we can focus our energies to the greatest effect. But it also shows where, periodically, we have to withdraw and "recharge our batteries." If we don't, we will become drained, and even sick.

Vesta in the signs describe the styles of focus and commitment, and what we have to exclude from our lives to achieve that purpose. Vesta also describes the way in which we deal with personal sexual energy - either through free expression, sublimation, or repression.

Vesta is in Leo

Vesta in Leo focuses on creativity and self-expression. Good for focusing on the dramatic or creative side of any situation.

Vesta is in the 7th House

Vesta in 7th house points to a dedication to working on your relationships. Yet, because Vesta strives for self-sufficiency and independence, conflict may arise when seventh house compromise and cooperative efforts are required. Often you tend to get overly focused upon or obsessed with your primary relationship.

When you are married or living with someone (someone you are involved with, and not just a roommate) you have to have your own space. You cannot be around them 24 hours a day. Get away, even if it is just for an hour or so at a time. If not, you will tend to get drained and sick. Be sure to discuss this with them before you move in together, otherwise they might think it is strange when you want to take separate vacations.

Part of Fortune

The Part of Fortune is used to describe the basic way in which the individual is physically connected with the surrounding world. It is one of the significators of the body and health, and it is the primary significator of prosperity, and also career as it relates to prosperity.

One of the Arabian Points (q.v.). A point that bears the same relation to the Rising Degree that the Moon bears to the Sun. It occupies the same House-position in a Figure based on a birth-moment, that the Moon tenants in a Solar Figure. Its symbol, a cross within a circle ED, is that utilized by astronomers to represent the Earth. It is the ancient Chinese symbol Tien, a field; used by the Egyptians to signify territory. It is generally considered that the House position of Fortuna is an indication of the department of life that will most readily contribute to the financial welfare of the native. If so it tends to lend emphasis to the theory that one succeeds best at that which one likes best; that congeniality of occupation is a contributing factor to success therein. v. Arabian Points..

The Part of Fortune is in Leo

The characteristic style of Leo is showy, grand, and generous. Leo has self-assurance and leadership ability. Leo acts self-expressively, dramatically, and creatively. The person with the Part of Fortune in Leo needs recognition from others to feel happy and successful.

Black Moon

Another name for Lilith is "Black Moon". This offers insight into her significance in the horoscope, where she is interpreted as the unseen feminine aspect of our unconscious mind. Thus Lilith's position in our horoscope tells us about the suppressed shadow-side of our unconscious, and indicates things that are hidden in the shadows, unfulfilled wishes, painful experiences, privation and darkness. Nevertheless, Lilith not only brings death, pain and disaster, but also generates life. Additionally, if the horoscope is for a male, Lilith can point to the woman he fears most or the woman that drives him to despair.

The Black Moon Lilith describes our relationship to the absolute, to sacrifice as such, and shows us how we let go. In transit, Black Moon Lilith indicates a form of castration or frustrations, most often in areas of desire, a powerlessness of the psyche, or a general inhibition. It also shows where we question ourselves, our lives, our jobs, and our beliefs. This is important as it gives us the opportunity to let go of something.

Black Moon Lilith shows us we can let the entire event flow into ourselves, without putting our ego in the way to resist it. It does not mean you are passive - contrary to it - it symbolizes the firm will to be open and trusting, to let the greater will of the Universe flow through you, trusting that when Lilith is done with this moment of your life, you will be ready for the challenges that comes. To prepare us for this new opportunity, Black Moon Lilith creates the necessary void.

The Black Moon is in Virgo

Here is the problem to trust on oneself and on life. There is a trauma in relation with the notion of confidence. The native has difficulties in building his own individuality because he tends to compare himself to the others, to merge into the others. To protect himself he may freeze and give a vision of egoism. Daily life, daily constraints are difficult to live. The native tries to incarnate what he is feeling that because he needs to calm down his anxiety and to reach the concrete security he can't find. In front of choices he is anxious. He would like to decide, leaning on reason and clear vision, but he has to leave to intuition and destiny the choice. The choices may be painful because the direction is not the desired one but it is the most reasonable one. The native may have been stopped in his former choice.

All the life goes through changes he will have to learn how to live and "digest"; otherwise he will be ill. Crises are often related to the disease that purifies. It affects the bowels. Diseases are purification and refuge for the things the native does not want to live. The fear of a failure reinforces the inhibition of the sign. Inferiority feeling, doubts, scrupulously honesty, extreme logic... all may put the native in a self-accusation mode. Irrational fears, phobias, hypochondria, to be not tidy or to be too orderly- sometimes to the pathological meticulousness- are some of the aspects of the Black Moon in Virgo.

Pisces - opposite to Virgo - sets the answer to all the problems. Pisces contains all the instincts the native has inside him. The key, the solution is in the depth of his unconsciousness. 2 ways for building the personality:

- Permanent control of the instincts as soon as these are lived on a conscious mode. The house where Virgo has its cups will describe the place where the work will be done: negative tendencies to correct gifts to develop. When all opportunities of the sign and the house will have been used, the daily choices will be easier and the anxiety will be reduced.

- Use of intuition and inner information to learn how to let go rationality. The constant fear will reduce. The trap with this configuration is either to refuse the own intuition because reason is disturbed, or to take refuge in the dual personality of the Pisces because reality is not the expected one. Unconsciousness disturbs consciousness permanently in the daily life. On a positive way, the native may have therapeutic knowledge - plants that heal and diets. Also the native may be a self-employed craftsman.

In the past lives, the soul lived in a context where it was impossible to trust the others. His daily life was conducted with a suspicious behavior. He was obliged to protect himself. Perhaps he also paid dearly for his naïveté. Today a strange feeling of a danger may occur each time the native is tempted to trust somebody and to give up. The problem stays in the unconsciousness. The native can't trust anybody but it is his main lesson today: he has to learn again confidence and this will change his life.

If Lilith is between 0° and 2° of Virgo, the choices in life will be very important and the anxiety of a wrong choice will always be there. The native will have to be not torn by life, but will think to all the opportunities which occur and to the gifts he has inside him in order to take the good decisions.

If Lilith is between 28° and 30°00 of Virgo, the personality will be already built and will have to learn how to stand in front of others or the spouse. The control of the instincts will not be the main problem. Harmonious relationships will have to be done together with a choice of value. These will be defined, according to life's experiences: success and failures. The native will have to learn how to feel not guilty and to keep self-confidence.

The Black Moon is in the 7th House

Lilith in the Seventh House represents a conflict between one's desire for commitment and one's striving for independence. You probably understand every aspect of your emotions and thought processes, and how these affect your situations in life, but often find change too daunting or difficult and decide to do nothing, even though you know change would be in your own best interest; as a result you are inclined to get caught up in the same vicious circle time and again.

You like to manipulate others, which you do with the best of intentions; and particularly like flirting which may well be your specialty. Music is one of your loves, as is fairness and harmony with others.

Vernal Point

The Vernal Point is 0 Aries in the Tropical Zodiac, and is an important point used in Uranian astrology. It is used in interpretation to ascertain the native’s relationship with the wider world.

0° Aries denotes strong will, great activity, but usually poor judgment. Aspects to the ASC are most important for this degree. Military or artistic endeavors. The fixed star Difda is here. A "critical" (emphasized) degree.

The Qualities and Elements

The signs of the zodiac are grouped into two basic categories. These are known as the Qualities and the Elements. The Qualities describe fundamental modes of activity and the Elements describe temperament. There are three Qualities: Cardinal, Fixed & Mutable and four Elements: Fire, Air, Earth & Water. Your horoscope will have varying degrees of each Quality and Element. The percentages you have of each will determine their importance in your life. The higher percentages will be more powerful in your life, the lower ones will be of less influence.

Summary:

Chapter 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others

Aquarius Rising:

Forward-looking and progressive, you are a person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and you are often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. You are extremely aware of the interconnection and interdependence of all people, and are always relating personal issues to some larger framework. You see the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and you wish to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to your community or group.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, social justice, etc. color your whole outlook and approach to life. You are truly interested in the good of the whole and not only your own personal well-being.

Sometimes you may overlook or ignore your own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to your ideals of how one SHOULD feel or act. Though you have little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, you yourself are sometimes dogmatic about your beliefs and ideologies.

You are attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and you are eclectic and cosmopolitan in your tastes. You may consider yourself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. You are strongly influenced by your peer group and the flavor of the times in which you grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. You are involved and active in groups, community efforts, cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, you are friendly and express a kind of impersonal good will towards others. You probably have many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of your closeness with others is based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see you as a good friend and comrade, who is objective, fair, and rather detached emotionally. You do not often show your emotions, and may be unsure how to respond to others' emotional expression, for you tend to be very rational.

You are also very independent and refuse to be possessed by any individual. You are not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and are inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. You need to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal sharing may take a back seat to your work or outside social involvements.

Chapter 2: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

Sun in Cancer:

You have powerful emotional attachments to the past, your family, your childhood, those places you associate with safety and security and your beginnings. Maintaining a connection with your roots and heritage and keeping family bonds strong are very important to you. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, you tend to cling to whatever is dear to you, be it person, familiar place, or cherished possession.

You are sympathetic, nurturing, supportive, and very sensitive to the emotional needs of other people. You like to be needed, to care for others, and you often worry about the people you love. You have a very strong need for a sense of belonging and acceptance, and you center much of your life around your home. You are more concerned about people and their feelings than with power, achievement, or position in society. Kindness, consideration, and tenderness impress you more than any sort of honor the world can bestow.

You are primarily emotional and your views are often dominated by your feelings and by your own personal, subjective experiences, rather than reason, logic, or abstract principles. It is difficult for you to judge situations in a fair, objective manner for your personal sympathies and loyalties usually enter in. You take things very personally, and sometimes build a wall around yourself to protect yourself from pain and rejection. You feel rather shy and vulnerable at heart. You also tend to be moody, experiencing frequent emotional ups and downs. You need to have a place and time in your life to withdraw, introspect, dream, and replenish yourself; otherwise you become cranky and unhappy with those around you.

You function in an instinctive, nonrational manner and like to immerse yourself in creative activities where you can express your feelings, imagination, and instincts. You often love to cook, since it can be both creative and a way to nurture and nourish others. You also have a great affinity for music, because it evokes and communicates feelings that may be difficult or impossible to put into words.

Your compassion, sensitivity, and imagination are your strong points. Your faults include an inability to release the past and go forward, clannishness and prejudice, and a tendency to be self-pitying when you meet hardships in life.

Sun in 6th house:

Your energies are directed to either perfecting your techniques, skills, and abilities in work, or in "perfecting", refining, and improving yourself as a person. Critical analysis and attention to minute detail are intrinsic in either process. The urge to bring about a state of wholeness or optimal functioning is a strong motivation of yours, and you are quite a perfectionist!

You can easily become overly identified or involved with the function you perform, with your work, or with your own health and "growth process".

Sun Opposition Moon:

You often feel that you are at cross purposes with yourself, for your conscious intentions and desires conflict with your subconscious emotional needs and drives. You are pulled in two different directions. You have difficulty satisfying both your need to be an individual and your need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Also, you send out mixed messages so people don't always know how to respond to you or know what you really want, thus creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.

Sun Opposition Neptune:

You are extremely sensitive and imaginative, and you can get lost in your dreams, fantasies, and visions. You are attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, the world of color, beauty, and emotion. You are also drawn to mysticism and have deep spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace-loving, you may lack the will and competitive spirit needed to make your way in the world. You are often impractical and may seek to avoid or escape the hard realities of life.

Sun Trine Pluto:

You have a deep belief in your own power and your ability to survive any change and to emerge victoriously from any difficulty. You have tremendous inner resources and strength. Intense, strong willed, and zealous, you pursue your desires and goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, and you may be somewhat compulsive, even fanatical at times. You like to live intensely and have no respect for people who are weak, who avoid confronting life and their own destiny.

Chapter 3: Mental Interests and Abilities

Mercury in Gemini:

You have an extremely active, lively and versatile mind with a multitude of interests and an inexhaustible curiosity about life. You are quick to grasp new concepts and equally quick to lose interest in an idea or project once your curiosity has been satisfied. You like to taste a little bit of everything - concentration and disciplined study are not your strong points. Mentally restless, you may change jobs or locations frequently, or do work that involves movement, travel, and variety.

You have a flair for language, playing with words, speaking, writing, or teaching in an entertaining and informative way. You also enjoy meeting new people, conversing and learning a little bit about them, and you work well with the public.

Sales, advertising, communications, journalism, or public relations are good areas for you. Your ability to be articulate and to communicate well is one of your greatest strengths.

Mercury in 5th house:

You enjoy puzzles and other games that challenge you intellectually. You like to show off your verbal or intellectual skills and to use your mind creatively. Writing, dramatic speaking or some other display of your creative intelligence appeals to you.

Mercury Conjunct Venus:

You appreciate aesthetics and have a fine sense of form, design, and beauty. You could develop considerable technical skill as an artist, designer, craftsman, or creative writer. You could also sell objects of beauty - artistic products, cosmetics, jewelry, eetc.

You have the ability to please and harmonize well with others and tend to ameliorate relationships between people. Your sense of humor, tact, and personal charm are of great benefit to you in any work with people on a one-to-one level.

Mercury Square Mars:

Argumentative and rather aggressive and critical in discussions, you tend to turn any conversation into a debate, and sometimes a verbal war. You could be a spokesman for a righteous cause, a lawyer vigorously defending a client, a sharp analyst or critic. You are a convincing speaker, but are not especially receptive to the ideas and opinions of others. You have a forceful intellect and an aptitude for mental work.

Chapter 4: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance

Moon in Capricorn:

Serious and responsible, you try to carry the world on your shoulders and rarely let others know that you need help and support. You deny or ignore your own emotional needs and feel that others will not accept you if you appear "weak". You are especially uncomfortable with emotional dependency, and will tell yourself and others (even children) not to be a "baby". You need to accept that no one is self-sufficient all the time, and to be gentler with your "childish" emotional needs and wants. To others, you may appear to be rather hard-nosed and tough, with a businesslike attitude toward their personal concerns and feelings. Actually, no one is a truer friend. Your feelings and loyalties run deep, but you often do not let people know how much you care. You also need to learn to relax, enjoy yourself, and play sometimes.

Moon in 12th house:

Your own feelings and emotions are something of an enigma to you, and it is often difficult for you to share with others what you are feeling.

You frequently withdraw from contact with the world, and need a healing, peaceful environment in order to blossom and come out of yourself.

You identify with the oppressed, disenfranchised or underdog in any situation and want to help them or care for them in some way.

Moon Conjunct Neptune:

You are a sensitive soul, a dreamer, very much attuned to the world of imagination and fantasy. You often retreat into your own inner world in order to escape the harshness of everyday living in the "real world". Gentle and often rather passive as well, you will not fight or assert yourself, even when you need to. You are very sympathetic and somewhat naive emotionally and must guard against being taken advantage of.

Moon Sextile Pluto:

You enjoy emotional intensity and are attracted to the mysterious, the unknown, and to dangerous or challenging experiences which draw on all of your inner resources. You are able to handle an emotional crisis very well, and you are interested in the deep roots of emotional problems and how to cure them. You insist on bringing feelings between people out into the open, for you want real closeness and intimacy with others, without barriers or secrets.

Venus in Gemini:

In love, you are more interested in a person's sense of humor and intelligence than in their physique. You like a partner who is mentally alive and who keeps you guessing a little bit, and you become restless and bored with someone who never asks questions, never changes or surprises you. Talking, sharing ideas, going places together, and learning new things together is very important to your happiness. You need lots of social stimulation, are something of a flirt, and like to have many friends of both sexes. A possessive, jealous partner is very stifling for you.

Venus in 5th house:

You love romance and wish the honeymoon phase of your love affairs would last forever! You need dramatic romantic gestures and displays of affection from your partner, and you want to feel very, very special, like a King or Queen, to your beloved. You also have an artistic flair and enjoy creating art or beauty in some form.

Chapter 5: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals

Mars in Pisces:

You are noncombative, noncompetitive, and something of a pacifist. You will give something up rather than fight for it. You may seem weak-willed or ineffectual, for you do not have a strong ego drive for personal achievement and material advantage, or for winning at the expense of someone else. Being first, being best, being on top doesn't mean much to you, and you can be quite happy in a supporting role, working for the benefit of others or for a cause that you believe in. You are gentle and impressionable and are motivated by less mundane and less tangible things than most other people. You may have difficulty formulating clear, definite goals for yourself and making your way in the world. You have many dreams, high ideals, and a strong mystical or religious impulse. You also have a creative imagination and can successfully apply yourself to art or music. You have a sensitive physique and need to maintain good regular health habits in order build strength and stamina.

Mars in 2nd house:

You often buy things on impulse and you can be reckless with your material resources and money. You have certain possessions that you are extremely attached to and possessive of.

Mars Sextile Jupiter:

Your self-confidence and vitality are strong and you believe you can do just about anything you want to. You have an enterprising spirit, a good sense of timing, and the ability to sense what will succeed and what won't. You usually make fortunate decisions in work or business activities. You enjoy healthy competition and you have a rather playful, good-humored attitude toward it. You mostly compete with yourself to see how far you can go or how much you can accomplish. You like to keep stretching your limits.

Chapter 6: Other Influences

Jupiter in Taurus:

Material comfort, security, and well-being are quite important to you, and you are not one to have your head in the clouds when financial matters and future security are at stake. Your strengths are practicality, a love of the earth, and the ability to take great delight in the sensual pleasures of the natural world. Also, when you feel secure financially, you are likely to be very generous and hospitable.

Jupiter in 4th house:

You are very hospitable and love having a large, comfortable, gracious home where you can welcome guests as well as family. Your childhood or heritage was very nourishing and supportive, giving you a solid, emotionally secure basis for your life, and you are therefore inclined to share what you have freely and generously.

Investing in your home or real estate is likely to be very rewarding for you.

Saturn in Sagittarius:

You have a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, you prevent yourself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. You are more rigid and dogmatic than you realize. Your approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. You take your own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if you are not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

Saturn in 11th house:

You are generally not a "joiner" and do not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered around some common ideal or interest. If you do participate in a group, you may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or you may simply feel that you do not fit in with the others.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits you better than being with groups of your own peers.

Saturn Conjunct Uranus:

You are serious and sincere about your interests, you do not accept superficial answers, and you are not easily placated. You want to bring your inspirations into concrete reality, and you don't mind upsetting some apple carts if necessary. You become impatient with others for being hesitant to implement new ideas and take action, and your occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

Uranus in Sagittarius:

You are part of a 7 year group of people who are extremely enterprising and forward-looking. You are optimists and explorers. Your age group shoots for the stars, figuratively and literally. Space exploration takes on new dimensions as your age group pushes fervently to the next frontier. There is a buoyant and youthful optimism and enthusiasm in your group, and you have your share of great discoveries as well as pipe dreams and disillusionment. The discoveries and contributions, however, are many, and more than compensate for the failures.

Uranus in 11th house:

You have unusual, even eccentric friends, and you are likely to join groups, communities, organizations, or clubs which promote progressive or unconventional ideas, social change, or innovation in some form. You are dynamic and creative in business affairs and in organizations.

Neptune in Capricorn:

You are part of a 14 year group of people who are conservative and traditional in spiritual aspirations and religious outlook. Your age group returns to some traditional basics in religion, and also traditional styles in music and art. Classical music and literature have a revival with your age group, and a great deal of inspiration is gained from the masters of arts, music, literature, and philosophy throughout history. Your age group is contemplative and reflective about religious matters and you take an objective and logical approach to religious issues. Many of you are cynics and critics of spiritual and metaphysical ideas.

Other age groups criticize your group for not having enough heart and compassion. Sometimes this is true and is evidenced by some unusually crafty and manipulative fraud and deception that occurs in the higher ranks of governments and large businesses.

Neptune in 12th house:

Compassionate and extremely sensitive to the emotional tones in the atmosphere surrounding you, you are naturally "psychic" or able to sense and understand much about a person without talking to them or knowing them consciously at all. You are deeply interested in the hidden realms of life and the afterlife. Your powerful sensitivity may also remain latent or repressed through much of your life and then be fully awakened in adulthood.

Neptune Sextile Pluto:

The entire generation to which you belong has tremendous opportunities for spiritual rebirth and awakening. This will not be forced upon you or precipitated by unavoidable events, rather it comes from an inner yearning and a natural propensity to seek the depths.

Pluto in Scorpio:

You are part of a 12 year group of people who have a complex and deep emotional side. Your age group has a great fascination for the mysteries of life, and members of your age group will make extraordinary breakthroughs in the understanding of life processes; major advances in biological sciences will open up new technological possibilities. Intensive probing into genetic structure and cellular processes will accelerate genetic engineering into new vistas. Your generation also probes the mysteries of birth and death, and members of your age group will even develop laboratories for forging new understanding of what happens at birth and death. Other breakthroughs will be made in the understanding of animal behavior and sexual activity. Archeological studies will unearth vast new insights into the history of man, and the exploration of the ocean will receive a new impetus, spurred by unusual and interesting findings made at the bottom of the sea.

Behind all of this work is the deep, probing, penetrating interest in the mysterious. There is a deep fascination with sex, power, and the occult as well. Hypnosis, karate, and other mental and physical training techniques are likely to be very popular with your age group. The love of mystery is also likely to bring a revival of mystery novels and movies; your age group will bring the macabre into current fashion and style.

You are an emotionally complex group, and you can be prone to some very strange behavior. Intrigue and mystery are exciting to your age group, and hopefully this does not get the better of you, causing you to act in a cruel or grotesque manner. There is a chance that crime, violence, and emotional disturbance will be relatively high in your age group, but hopefully your interest in the mysterious, strange, grotesque, and macabre will not manifest in this way.

Pluto in 10th house:

You have a powerful sense of destiny and may be unusually, even ruthlessly, ambitious. There is a very driven, compulsive quality to the way you pursue your career or other important life goals, which is likely to win you both staunch admirers and vigorous opponents.

There is a very "radical" side to you, and you may want to remake or change the world in some significant way. Depending on other astrological factors in your chart and your own decisions, you can be either very destructive or a powerful force for healing and positive change in the world.

Uranus Opposition Sun/Mercury 0 deg 12 min

You have quick reflexes, and you learn very quickly. You have the ability to pick things up quickly, invent or discover something, without knowing as many technical details as other people, or without even knowing quite how you got the correct solution to a problem. You are clever and ingenious, but hopefully you also have patience and discipline; otherwise, you might jump impatiently from one idea to the next with little consistency.

Saturn Opposition Sun/Mercury 0 deg 19 min

You are methodical and logical. In elementary school and even in high school, you may sometimes have felt that you are a slow learner, but actually it is only your insistence on gaining a thorough, complete, and logical understanding of a subject that caused any problems. Other people are content with relatively superficial explanations whereas you often seek a level of clarity that even the teacher may not be capable of providing. Your quiet, structured, and disciplined approach to learning can help you excel in many areas as long as you have the self-confidence and patience to allow yourself to master the material.

Mars Conjunct Mercury/Saturn 0 deg 45 min

You have a methodical and logical mind, and you also have good mental concentration. An academic path is good for you. You are a good student and are capable of mastering difficult subjects. Your willingness to work hard to understand something makes it possible for you to master difficult subjects that most other people are unwilling to attempt. You do not always grasp an idea as quickly as others, but you tend to be more thorough and once learned, you really understand the material exceptionally well.

Mars Conjunct Mercury/Uranus 0 deg 49 min

You can process information very quickly. You become impatient with classes that move too slowly, and you thrive when you can work at your own pace.

Mars Conjunct Venus/Saturn 1 deg 41 min

You are a very monogamous person; you seek someone special that you can devote yourself to. You are responsible and loyal in relationships. You value the little things in life, appreciate even small help from others, and you dislike glamour and showiness.

Mars Conjunct Venus/Uranus 1 deg 38 min

You have very strong romantic and sexual feelings. You are likely to fall in, and out of, love at least a few times before settling down so it is probably not a good idea for you to marry early in life. You love music and probably dance also. It is important that sexuality does not overpower the importance of love, kindness, or mutual understanding in your romantic relationships because otherwise you can be unfulfilled in the long run.

Sun Opposition Moon/Neptune 1 deg 57 min

You enjoy an atmosphere or mood that is enchanting or unusual. It is likely that music is very important to you because it transports you to a world of imagination, dreamy moods, sentimentality, or possibly even mystical feelings. You have a colorful imagination, although it may be difficult for you to express the subtlety of feelings and impressions that you experience.

Moon-Venus-Saturn 26th Harmonic (26=13x2)

You are loyal to the ones you love. You dislike pretentiousness and glamour, and you are very responsible and dedicated to your family members and loved ones. Sometimes you are quiet or even shy, but do not be so quiet that you fail to show people that you care about them. Others may misinterpret your quietness as coldness.

Moon-Venus-Pluto 52nd Harmonic (52=13x4)

You experience compulsive feelings and you can become romantically obsessed with another person. Feelings of jealousy, however, can destroy your relationship. Your feelings are very strong and you are inclined to project them on others at least occasionally. Your emotions are deep and complex.

HARMONIC HIGHLIGHTS

Moon 5th harmonic (quintile) Mars, very strong (Orb: 0 Deg 59 Min):
