versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, youthful,
and having many ideas. Gemini can also be volatile, superficial,
changeable, restless and inconsistent.

BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
Scores: Fire 7; Earth 4; Air 4; Water 3
FIRE STRONG
Fire is a Yang or Masculine element. It denotes enthusiasm, dynamism,
spontaneity, and (sadly) the possibility of a lack of reflection.
Showing up strong in the element of Fire, you may tend to be a
highly-motivated person with many goals and aspirations for the
future.
You
are likely vital and spontaneous, often enjoying the challenge
of traveling down new and adventurous roads in your life. Your
wonderful sense enthusiasm can be irrepressible at times. Your
main weakness may however lie in your tendency to exaggerate and
in your inability to cope with all the more mundane activities
in life.
BALANCE OF MODES
Scores: Cardinal 3; Fixed 9; Mutable 6
FIXED STRONG
The Fixed signs are: Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus. Fixed
denotes wanting to remain stable and security. The basic essence
of fixed signs is growth and being motivated by adapting to internal
forces.
Barring
other factors in the chart, you don't particularly enjoy change.
You expect others to be reliable and steadfast like yourself.
One of your biggest problems can be that of getting stuck. You
know, there ARE times when you need to give it up and go on.
BALANCE OF HOUSES
Scores: 1st 0; 2nd 0; 3rd 0; 4th 3; 5th 2; 6th 6; 7th 2; 8th 2;
9th 1; 10th 0; 11th 0; 12th 2
4TH STRONG
The Fourth House is about home and family. It describes your roots,
your heritage and your private life.
6TH STRONG
The Sixth House is about day to day life. It's a very practical
house. It is about focusing on small areas of expertise. It is
about work, health, the service you give and your habits. This
house also traditionally relates to small animals.
BALANCE OF QUADRANTS
Scores: 1st Quadrant 0; 2nd Quadrant 11; 3rd Quadrant 5; 4th Quadrant
2
2ND QUADRANT STRONG
The planets in this quadrant will highlight the areas of life
in which you want to express yourself. I call this Quadrant the
"Lover Quadrant;" and the archetype of the Lover features
strongly in your life and in your actions. You are receptive to
other people and sensitive to the undercurrents involved in relationships.
BALANCE OF HEMISPHERES
Scores: Eastern 2; Northern 11; Western 16; Southern 7
WESTERN STRONG
Your interactions with other people tend to take on a dominant
role in your life. You gain satisfaction through your personal
relationships and interacting with your friends. You probably
have a gift for mediating in your relationships; this is because
you possess insight into the subtler nuances of relationships.
You tend to learn the most about yourself reflecting your ideas
off the people you're involved with in relationships. Take care
not to get stuck in stifling relationships.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Hang on now! You don't want to skip over this short and sweet,
but significant, description of the Soli-Lunar cycle based on
the insights of astrologer, Dane Rudhyar.
You
were born during the 3rd phase of the Moon, when the Moon was
from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
As
a Third Quarter Moon Soli-Lunar type, you tend to have strong
beliefs and are likely to put them into action. You usually have
the wisdom to know when to act, but there are times when you can
be a wee bit too inflexible. Fighting for a cause, despite any
and all costs, can at times become a problem for you.
THE HOUSES
AQUARIUS
ON 1ST HOUSE CUSP
With airy Aquarius as your Ascendant guide on your journey - barring
other factors in the chart - your approach to life is gregarious
and unconventional, original and objective. You view life from
an intellectual stance. The ruler of your Ascendant is the planet
Uranus. Along with the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant Sign -
the ruling planet of your Ascendant will play an "enhanced
role" in your life. So check this report out for any interpretation
texts regarding Uranus' sign placement, house placement, and other
planets which aspect Uranus. There will be a fuller description
of your Ascendant later in this report.
PISCES
ON 2ND HOUSE CUSP
The handling of your personal money and possessions don't tend
to be your strongest suit. You may feel confused about money matters
and thus may experience some difficulty in making ends meet. You
value your sense of compassion and spirituality and this in turn
may reflect how and what you tend to spend your money on.
ARIES
ON 3RD HOUSE CUSP
You may tend to be a fast and forceful talker. You may be generally
much better at initiating ideas and communications, rather than
the actual follow through with the little day to day details.
TAURUS
ON 4TH HOUSE CUSP
You tend to be a reliable, responsible, and rock steady family
member. You value your home and family. And you're probably the
one who enjoys all those family traditions. Your home may reflect
your earthy and sensual nature. After all - homes are made for
comfort... Heck! If you can't relax and be comfortable in your
own home, then where can you relax?
GEMINI
ON 5TH HOUSE CUSP
You are likely a wee bit of a trickster when it comes to play,
romance, and risky business. You may like to play, especially
games that amuse your quick-thinking mind.
CANCER
ON 6TH HOUSE CUSP
You like to take care of and nurture loved ones on a daily basis
and in a practical way. You may find that routine and daily activities
are comforting and make you feel emotionally safe.
LEO
ON 7TH HOUSE CUSP
You are an enthusiastic and generous partner. You like to have
fun in your relationships and get bored if they lack life and
romance. You need to have attention from your loved one. Or in
the reverse, these may be the characteristics you (project and)
admire in your partners.
VIRGO
ON 8TH HOUSE CUSP
You like to have an excellent sense of clarity when it comes to
shared resources and other people's money, knowing the exact details
of any contracts. You are also likely very conscious of the need
for cleanliness in sexual relationships.
LIBRA
ON 9TH HOUSE CUSP
You enjoy traveling and studying with your partner. You enjoy
egalitarian, democratic, classless philosophies of life.
SCORPIO
ON 10TH HOUSE CUSP
You have the Fixed Water of Scorpio on the cusp of your 10th house
of Social Persona (how society sees you) - thus you have an intense
need for recognition in your work and/or in your social standing.
You
like to be known for your ability to 'dig deep' into whatever
you do. You may unconsciously attract crises at work. Research
and resources often feature strongly in your career.
SAGITTARIUS
ON 11TH HOUSE CUSP
You are likely an enthusiastic and fun-loving friend. You prefer
traveling and/or exploring the world with your friends, or with
groups of people to share it with. You like to set your own personal
goals for the future.
CAPRICORN
ON 12TH HOUSE CUSP
You are likely to inhibit and ignore your inner urges, and could
even be a wee bit paranoid. You need to reconcile yourself with
those parts of yourself from which you have cut yourself off from.
(Did this description confuse you? I know it confused me.)
CHART POINTS
THE
SUN
THE
SUN IN LEO
Psst! Hey, you! Come over here! (Yeah, that means you!) Pay close
attention for a minute, because the Sun is the very heart of your
natal chart. Of course, the Sun’s zodiac sign placement
is probably the one part of your birth chart which you were already
at least quasi-aware of (unless you happen to be one of those
folks born at the very beginning or end of a sign). Think for
a second about some of the concepts generally associated with
the energies of the Sun: Glowing, warmth, powerful, dependable,
shining, cheery, life-giving, new growth, fiery, new beginnings,
sunshine, bright skies, center of our galaxy,
In mythology, the Sun is further associated with the great sky
god, the Great Father (as well as our own earthly father), gold
and other treasures. In the birth chart, the Sun symbolizes the
role of the Hero and the Royal Ruler... and the Sun is the main
character in your adventure and quest through this lifetime. The
Sun reflects those heartfelt energies which need to be explored,
developed and experienced in order for you to be more fully, wholly
"you." But not everyone lets their Sun shine out. The
Sun's energies are consciously developed over the course of a
lifetime.
Leoian energy -- motivated by inspiration and aspiration! Spontaneity!
Ready for encounter! Fire on the mountain! Fire energy can be
warm, vital, vivacious, cheerful and loyal to whatever happens
to hold its interest. Fire energy craves freedom and opportunity
and yep, a steady stream of opportunity for new experiences. Fire
energy can be assertive, competitive, ambitious and full of confidence
for the future. Fire energy learns best when actively engaging
in and grabbing hold of life. Fire loves adventure and hates routine!
I suppose you’ve heard the phrase, "Fake it, till you
make it!" Well, Leoian energy builds self-confidence, by
putting on demonstrations and shows of bravado. By acting self-confident,
Leoian energy becomes self-confident in truth as well as deed.
As fixed fire, Leoian energy is much more self-reflective and
inner-directed than the average person might ever suspect. Although,
since you’re reading this description, it means your Sun
is placed in Leo and that morsel of insightful information shouldn’t
be much of a revelation. Over the years you’ve learned that,
first and foremost, you have to be able to live with and please
yourself. You have the strong, burning inner-desire for self-authenticity.
So, "to thine own self be true" could be another really
good Leoian motto.
Ruled the Sun, creative Leoian energy is colored by an overall
strong sense of drama and "bigness." Leo sees the "big
picture" of possibilities for the future and for success.
Playful, creative, generous, warm-hearted, and risk-taking are
all characteristics common to Leonians who are living out the
fullest potential of their birth sun placement.
With the Sun in Leo, this fiery, energetic attitude may have been
the way you perceived the image of your father (or another significant
male figure) when you were young and still in the early stages
of childhood.
Your birth Sun is the hero of your mythic journey through this
lifetime. So Let Your Light Shine!
Leo
and Love (written to share with your mate, if you dare)
Like Neil Young, are you still searching for that "heart
of gold?" Do you enjoy big romance, big drama, big talk,
and big fun? Then look no farther than regal, larger than life,
Leo. Leo is the royal cat's meow and the roaring King of the Jungle!
Life
is one big marvelous Shakespearean play for your romantic, warm
hearted, and generous Leo lover - and all the world is Leo's stage.
Your Leo lover usually prides him or herself in being a magnificent
and romantic lover - complete with sweeping gestures of emotional
splendor. And here's a big plus, barring other factors in the
chart, your Leo lover is usually very good with children.
"To
thine own self be true!" Self-authentication is the driving
force behind your Leo lover. Self-authentication is just a fancy
way of saying, "being able to live with yourself, and taking
full responsibility over your own actions." To understand
this need for self-authentication, and it's archetypal pattern,
one need only look to the mythic "Search For The Holy Grail."
Often
times, early in life, a young Leo is handed the Grail on a silver
platter. Unfortunately, the young Leo loses the Grail due to the
foolishness and imprudence of youth. Then, the rest of Leo's life
becomes the grand adventure of the valiant hero who must fight
and slay quite a few dragons in order to rightfully reclaim the
lost treasure of the Grail. (A good example is Grand old Leo Sun,
David Crosby - who through years of youthful foolishness, pride,
drug addiction, and other great adversity - has now finally healed
his wound, reclaimed his Grail, and become a shining, marvelous
King!)
Shadow:
Shadow? Shadow? What shadow? Ruled by the vital, life-giving Sun,
everything about royal Leo is an absolutely wonderful and marvelous
adventure. Well, maybe there are a couple of things I could mention...
Ever
been to the southern California Mojave Desert during the hot summer
month of August. Ever been to Big Bend, Texas in August? I have,
and I know for a fact that even the wonderful, vital, life-giving
energies of the Sun can scorch, singe, and dry up good old Mother
Earth.
Just
keep a few things in mind… that Leo enjoys having someone
they can dress up real nice, take to town, and show off... that
Leo enjoys a partner who will continually pump up and praise Leo's
larger than life ego... that Leo has a thing about being with
being flirtatious when it comes to attractive members of the opposite
sex, but his (or her) royal highness Leo won't tolerate the same
behavior when coming from his or her partner. Apparently, Leo
hasn't heard the old saying: "Turn about is fair play."
Finally,
know that it's every young male Leo's fantasy to be surrounded
by his large pride of loyal lionesses. Some Leo males choose to
live out this fantasy in a literal way. Many wisely choose not
to.
THE
SUN IN THE 6TH HOUSE
Traditional astrology says that daily routine, health and work
are the areas in which you shine. You're also supposed to learn
life's lessons through your ability to serve. I happen to have
the Sun in the 6th house. And most of time, this doesn't describe
me all that well (or perhaps it does and I just can't bring myself
to admit it).
I
find that the 6th house can be experienced in many different ways.
The two main ways are materially and mentally. For some with Sun
in the 6th house, the traditional view fits pretty well. Others
tend to experience the more mental side of this house and have
very critical minds (we're usually the most critical with ourselves).
Whether
we experience the traditional view or the more mental view - we
have this tendency to aim for perfection and always coming up
short. Try to ease up a little and give yourself a break.
ASPECTS
OF THE SUN
SQUARE NEPTUNE Orb 3°56' Separating
Here's one of your soul growth challenges from the universe. You
are a sensitive and soft person apt to be overwhelmed by your
empathy with suffering. You have martyr-like tendencies.
As
a child you may have perceived of your father as being a dreamer
or perhaps unclear about himself... Your father may be been a
substance abuser and you may have the same tendency. On the other
hand - you may have idealized your father.
With
Sun-Neptune there is often some sort of sacrifice surrounding
the father... Sorry I can't be more clear on that... but early
in life you may be unclear of your own identity. Try to use your
creativity in a positive manner rather than escaping through addictive
behavior.
THE
MOON
THE
MOON IN GEMINI
Regardless of whether you're a male or female, the very first
love of your life was your mother (or if mom was absent, then
another mother figure in your environment). The Moon symbolizes
the unconscious, instincts, and what you need to feel nurtured
in your life.
With
the Moon in Gemini, you have a strong need for mental stimulation
and communication. You have an insatiable, irrepressible sense
of curiosity, and you seek answers to many questions. Barring
other factors in the birth chart, you have a strong tendency to
be a "chatterbox." In fact, your friends would probably
say you're one of those people who could carry on an interesting
conversation with a telephone pole.
The
Moon is the "place" where we go for comfort when scared....
and we tend to unconsciously nurture ourselves in much the same
way our mothers nurtured and cared for us when we were very young
children. As a very young child, you may have expected your mother
to provide you with plenty of stimulation, communication, and
mental activity.
As
an adult, you now feel the safest and most nurtured when actively
communicating and sharing information with others. Therefore,
when involved in a close friendship or an intimate relationship
with a lover - you feel the powerful, emotional need to share
and fully communicate with the other person regarding any (and
all) of the experiences of the day.
Warning!
One of the most hurtful things your partner or "significant
other" can do is impatiently, patronizingly rush or hurry
you along when you're involved in a conversation with a friend
or even a casual acquaintance. (Been there - and, sadly enough,
done that...)
Seeing
someone new in your life? Feeling especially emotionally vulnerable
immediately after the first intimate "encounter" with
your new lover? You'll most likely find yourself endlessly quizzing
your new lover on exactly how it felt and asking them to communicate
in vivid detail what the experience was like for them.
Stressed
out by the events of the day? Call up a close friend on the telephone
and tell them all about it. Bored to tears? Learn how to do something
new, interesting, and mentally stimulating. Here are a couple
of hobby suggestions for your chatty self: Join a local amateur
thespian group and perform a little Shakespeare in the evenings.
Or how about join Toastmasters and practice up on your public
speaking skills. Where to go on a vacation? Is there a special
place which has always piqued your interest and sense of curiosity?
THE
MOON IN THE 4TH HOUSE
C.G. Jung wrote, in The Development of Personality, "In every
adult there lurks a child-an eternal child, something that is
always becoming, is never completed, and calls for unceasing care,
attention and education. That is the part of the human personality
that wants to develop and become whole."
The
Moon is generally a happy camper in this house. With the Moon
in this house, your inner-child seeks to nurture itself and gain
a sense of security through your family and traditional. The home
and family life provide you with emotional sustenance. At home
you feel safe.
ASPECTS
OF THE MOON
SEXTILE MERCURY Orb 1°01' Separating
Here's one of your gifts from the universe (if you choose to use
it).... you have the opportunity to express your feelings and
thoughts in an effective manner. All things being equal, you have
the ability to make decisions and choices based on a mix of heart
and mind.
TRINE
JUPITER Orb 2°29' Separating
You are generous, and good-natured. You make adventurous plans
that usually prove successful. You enjoy the company of other
people and they usually like to help you in your goals. As an
infant you may have perceived your mother being as exuberant and
fun-loving. She may have seemed adventurous and exciting. As an
adult, these are some of the same qualities you seem to need in
your life to feel emotionally nurtured and secure.
SQUARE
PLUTO Orb 3°37' Applying
Does it ever seem like each time you manage to get emotionally
comfortable and start feeling safe and secure, something "unexpected"
happens that (once again) makes your life more emotionally complicated?
That's Moon-Pluto! You are likrly intense and emotional. You find
yourself caught up in emotional dramas wondering how you will
make your life quieter, or if you really want life to be quiet.
The answer may be to direct your need for intensity into creative
pursuits.
I
try to be extra cautious in describing Moon-Pluto aspects because
there are so many different possibilities and difficult emotional
images arising from this particular combination of archetypal
energies. As an infant - in way or another - you may have perceived
and tapped into the darker, more intense side of your mother.
There
are many different possible scenarios.... but you may have felt
in some inexplicable way violated by your mother - or you may
have simply tapped into and thus became aware of her depressions
and darker moods. Another scenario may be that your mother may
have filled you with her many fears.... or in a worse case scenario,
she may have fit the archetypal pattern of the emotionally "devouring
mother" and used you as an emotional replacement for an inadequate
relationship with your father.
SQUARE
CHIRON Orb 1°57' Applying
Whoops! It looks like you may have a fair amount difficulty in
"coming to terms" with emotional wounds from the past.
As a result of this difficulty, you may have to overcome the strong
tendency to see yourself in terms of being a "suffering and
wounded person."
You
feel that you are misunderstood, and this may particularly apply
to your own relationship with your mother and/or other maternal
figures in your life. Once you have learned how to rise above
your pain and emotional wounds, then you can go on to develop
the ability to understand, empathize with, and help others. You
have the ability (to later in life) become a gifted emotional
healer.
Due
to your own emotional experiences, you are able to face the painful
side of life and share your experiences in a loving manner. With
struggle you may learn to feel a deep sense of compassion for
the plight's of others.
MERCURY
MERCURY
IN LEO
To the medieval alchemists, Mercury was the metal symbolizing
duality - metallic yet liquid , matter yet spirit, cold yet fiery...
the metal uniting all the opposites... the substance Mercury only
adheres to precious metals; metaphorically Mercury can show us
the way to find spiritual gold... Trickster, Traveler, Guide of
Souls....
Known
to the Greeks as Hermes, the messenger god... protector of athletes,
thieves, travelers and merchants... He is the god of the unexpected,
of luck, of coincidence, of synchronicity. Whenever things seem
fixed, rigid, 'stuck,' Mercury introduces fluidity, motion, new
beginnings - and the confusion which inevitably precedes new beginnings.
What
type of learning best suited you as a child growing up?
The
element that Mercury can often give insight and clues into the
way a child (or adult) thinks.
A
child with Mercury located in the element of fire will (barring
other factors in the chart) avoid too much reflection and pondering,
thus often only leaping forward with learning when highly enthused
and inspired. However, in so doing, they could find it hard to
learn some of life's harder and/or duller "lessons".
With Mercury in Leo, you tend to be enthusiastic in your quest
for knowledge. You're quite proud of your learning abilities and
achievements, and believe in the saying that learning is fun.
You may have a tendency to be a know-it-all.
MERCURY
IN THE 6TH HOUSE
Daily life is generally your best teacher. Your daily routine
is typically going to be busy and stimulating. You may be interested
in learning about health, more particularly the relationship between
the mind and the body.
ASPECTS
OF MERCURY
OPPOSITION JUPITER Orb 1°28' Separating
You are prone to making mountains out of molehills. You struggle
at times to keep a balanced viewpoint, but can become a wee bit
too fanatical in pursuit of your beliefs.
OPPOSITION
SATURN Orb 7°00' Separating
You have difficulty expressing yourself. As a child you believe
your father was critical and judged you lacking in intelligence.
You may have experienced limitations and difficulties in early
schooling experiences. As an adult you have trouble believing
in your ability to communicate and in your ability to stand up
for your own beliefs.
SQUARE
NEPTUNE Orb 6°16' Applying
You may experience difficulty effectively utilizing your powers
of discrimination. Your own thoughts and opinions can often (at
inopportune times) become vague, confused, and difficult for you
(and others) to pin down. If you can work on being a wee bit more
practical - then your innate creative and artistic nature can
start being more effectively expressed in your life.
VENUS
VENUS
IN CANCER
With Venus in Cancer, you place emphasis on family relations.
You will form strong emotional bonds within your own tribe. You
may have an emotional need for financial security.
VENUS
IN THE 5TH HOUSE
You are able to express yourself with creativity and fun, and
enjoy the company of children. You may find that you have an urge
to express yourself through artistic avenues.
ASPECTS
OF VENUS
QUINCUNX JUPITER Orb 0°55' Separating
You like to have the approval of other people. You need to make
adjustments in your life so that you can be generous and warm-hearted
regardless of others' opinions.
SEXTILE
URANUS Orb 6°31' Separating
Ooooh..... Hold on, cause this is a tricky one..... Venus denotes
(greatly oversimplified) relationship and Uranus denotes independence
and freedom. When these two planets get together in the natal
chart -- the way their energies are "played out” depends
upon how "aware" you are of these inborn two basic needs.
Have you learned (over the course of time) how to synthesize and/or
balance both your need for relationship and your need for independence?
With this aspect, it's fairly typical to identify EITHER with
the relational energy of Venus OR the independent energy of Uranus.
If you've chosen to identify with Venus and deny Uranus, and then
you may repeatedly, compulsively attract individuals into your
life who "play out" the part of Uranus. You may attract
lovers who are incredibly electric and exciting -- but are also
incredibly undependable and need their "freedom."
On the other hand -- if you identify with freedom loving Uranus
and deny Venus, then you may continually attract individuals into
your life who "play out" the part of Venus. Then you
end up playing the part of the incredibly electric and exciting
lover, who's also incredibly undependable and needs their "freedom."
Neither of these scenarios sounds very satisfying to me. How about
you?
The key to your satisfaction is your own personal level of awareness
regarding your two conflicting needs. The trick is in learning
how to balance your need for relationship without letting go of
your need for independence.
The
excellent news is that since these two planets are sextile in
your birth chart, you'll generally have an easier time of reconciling
these two conflicting energies than someone having a "harder"
aspect between these two planets will have. In fact, you may not
even have a clue as to why I've just made such a big deal over
this energy combination!
TRINE
NEPTUNE Orb 6°48' Applying
You are likely going to be a sensitive and gentle partner. You
are artistic and creative and enjoy sharing your talents with
your loved ones. You have compassion and understanding for other
people.
SEXTILE
PLUTO Orb 5°11' Applying
Here's one of your gifts from the universe (if you choose to use
it).... You are an intense and committed partner. You place importance
on relationships and require a similar commitment from your partner.
Venus touching Pluto is a very powerful and seductive energy.
It is the image and power of the mythological Medusa. The Medusa
was the most beautiful of the three Gorgon sisters. The Gorgons
were three ladies who had writhing, venomous snakes growing out
of their heads and who turned men into stone just by looking at
them! In spite of their monstrous condition, the sisters were
terrifyingly beautiful and seductive to behold. No man encountering
the infamous Gorgons (knowing it was instant death) could avert
his gaze from the terrifyingly beautiful Gorgon sisters...
With
this image in your chart, you can at times be unreasonable, demanding,
and controlling in your expectations of the people around you.
Dramatic crisis and intensity may also tend to play a key role
in your most personal relationships. You are disappointed when
others fail to soar to great emotional heights and plummet the
emotional depths by your side. On a more positive note you are
fiercely loyal and committed with an ability to fight any injustice.
However,
the really good news is that as you grow older and (hopefully)
wiser, you will have opportunities in learning how to positively
redirect and transform these powerful and seductive energies into
some sort of demanding, but positive and creative pursuits. You
see… when the Medusa's head was ultimately severed from
her body at the neck, the beautiful powerful winged horse Pegasus
sprang out of the wound.
Another
image that might be helpful is that of the Kundalini coiling snake
energy of some Eastern traditions. Kundalini can be described
as a great reservoir of creative energy originating at the base
of the spine. The image of a coiling snake communicates and puts
forth the notion of vast untapped energy. With the "awakening"
of this energy, according to a least one yogi: "Kundalini
cures you, she improves you, and she bestows all the blissful
things upon you. She takes you away from the worries of the grosser
level."
If
you think about for just a second… it's a pretty awesome
image and privilege. I have a similar image and theme in my life,
and so I must admit that coming to grips with this powerful energy
is much easier said than done. However, it's in your (and my)
best interest to learn how to use it wisely.
TRINE
CHIRON Orb 3°31' Applying
You display a childlike innocence, that in turn tends to make
you vulnerable to emotional pain. You may have experienced pain
and rejection in early relationships, but this pain can be healed
giving, later in life, giving you insight and wisdom in personal
relationships.
You
above all else can develop the ability see the beauty in those
people who have been cast aside by others in life, and even develop
the ability to become a (official or unofficial) teacher or healer
in intimate relationships. You have a talent for seeing the beauty
in your loved ones and helping them heal their psychological wounds
and realize their full potential.
MARS
MARS
IN VIRGO
You will typically pursue your personal desires in a practical
and methodical manner. This is how you get what you want. You
may be critical of others when opposed.
MARS
IN THE 8TH HOUSE
You earnestly seek power in joint ventures. You also probe into
the deeper meaning of the cycles of life. You are likely to have
strong sexual urges.
ASPECTS
OF MARS
TRINE SATURN Orb 2°45' Applying
Perhaps the best way to describe Mars-Saturn aspects is that it's
like driving a car with the brakes on. When Mars seeks to assert,
Saturn speaks up and cautions: Hold on now.... are you sure you
want to do that? Are you good enough? Do you deserve it? What
would your mother say?
However, once you do manage to take your heavy foot off the brakes,
then you can diligently persist at whatever the task is. Being
as Mars and Saturn are in “easy” aspect to one another,
later in life self discipline will come easily to you. You will
always tend be a good worker and under control.

You are a seeker of the new and inspirational. You hold racially-inclusive
values, and tend to be a humanitarian.
JUPITER
IN THE 12TH HOUSE
You seek meaning and inspiration in life from a well deep within
yourself. In life's most despairing moments you have the ability
to dig deep into your well of optimism.
ASPECTS
OF JUPITER
CONJUNCTION SATURN Orb 5°31' Applying
You have what could be considered an ideal blend of enthusiasm
and structure. You work well within a structured system and therefore
can do well in business. Your approach to religion is usually
conventional.
SQUARE
NEPTUNE Orb 7°44' Separating
You are artistic and talented but need to learn self discipline
if you are to make something of it. You may be careless with your
possessions and need to learn to handle money. Don't speculate.
SATURN
SATURN
IN CAPRICORN
You are conservative and authoritarian, and likely have strong
worldly ambitions. You are a responsible worker.
SATURN
IN THE 12TH HOUSE
You fear anything hidden. This may be because you feel that your
own boundaries are constantly threatened. A serious examination
of hidden realms may help you to conquer your fears.
ASPECTS
OF SATURN
QUINCUNX URANUS Orb 0°03' Applying
You are torn between the old and the new and may not immediately
see how they can blend. You will learn to adjust to a new way
of thinking. Until that time you may find that you change jobs
often.
URANUS
URANUS
IN LEO
Uranus spends a long time in each sign and was in the sign of
Aries from 1956 to 1962. Since it spends such a long time in each
sign, the sign interpretation applies to a generation rather than
the individual. For a more individual interpretation look at the
house position and aspects to Uranus. This is the generation which
seeks the freedom of individual expression. True individual creativity
becomes important, particularly through culture and the arts.
URANUS
IN THE 7TH HOUSE
You have a need for unconventional relationships. Freedom within
relationships will also be important to you. You will learn about
your own individuality through unusual relationships. It could
be that you may be unconsciously seeking out partners who can
live out Uranus (independence) for you. If the other person doesn't
naturally embody the characteristics of Uranus, then you may unconsciously
do things and act in ways almost iron-clad guaranteed to draw
out the qualities of Uranus (independence) in the other person.
CONJUNCTION THE NORTH NODE Orb 2°02' Applying
Your destiny is linked with the discovery of new and exciting
thoughts and concepts. You need to make sure that you do not seek
excitement at all costs, but direct your energies wisely. You
are being challenged to make a contribution to humanity.
NEPTUNE
NEPTUNE
IN SCORPIO
Neptune spends a long time in each sign and was in the sign of
Scorpio from 1955/57 to 1970. Neptune takes about 164 years to
make its way around all twelve signs of the zodiac. Since it spends
such a long time in each sign, the sign interpretation applies
to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual
interpretation look at the house position and aspects to Neptune.
Neptune ushers in trends and fashions.
Members of your generation will at first face a battle between
their physical desires and their desire for a more spiritual way
of life. Let's hope your generation will "get a clue"
and then be the first of many generations to discover that true
wholeness is not a choice of one (physical) or the other (spirituality).
Then your generation will come to truly know of the value of regeneration
rather than stagnation. End of sermon.... This generation may
end up playing a transformative role in the world.
NEPTUNE
IN THE 9TH HOUSE
Each of us has an area in our lives where we're simultaneously
inspired and lost. It's a place where we see but don't see. That's
Neptune's house. In Neptune's house we may find that we are prone
to loss and disappointment. On the other hand Neptune's house
can be a place of imagination, wonder, and beauty... lit from
within by our soul's longings and desires.
With
Neptune in this house, chances are that you have a devotional
attitude to higher learning, and you feel the distinct need to
search for the "perfect" philosophy. You may be disappointed
with the realities of study, foreign travel, and religion.
ASPECTS
OF NEPTUNE
SEXTILE PLUTO Orb 1°37' Applying
You belong to a generation which may be able to bring about real,
powerful, social changes. Yes! You, too, can be a part of this
growing movement for positive changes in government and human
rights. Problem is, this generation could just as easily get lazy
and let the opportunity to make these momentous changes pass them
by. The paranormal and the occult (occult just means "hidden")
are more easily given credence than has been the case in recent
generations.
TRINE
CHIRON Orb 3°17' Separating
You have a gift for understanding people and lending a caring
hand in their times of troubles. Your sensitive and accepting
nature encourages people to tell you their heartfelt problems.
You may be drawn to the spiritual side of life.
PLUTO
PLUTO
IN VIRGO
Pluto spends a really long time in each sign and was in the sign
of Virgo from 1956/57 to 1972 Slow poke Pluto takes about 248
years to make its way around all twelve signs of the zodiac. Since
it spends such a long time in each sign, the sign interpretation
applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more
individual interpretation look at the house position and aspects
to Pluto.
Pluto
ushers in upheaval and transformation. This generation may possess
the ability to transform the way the world sees health. Medical
research, world-wide diseases, medical discoveries, and the links
between mind and body will most likely be the central focuses
for this health conscious generation.
PLUTO
IN THE 7TH HOUSE
You will experience deep transformation through relationships.
Your relationships may change, or you may grow and change within
relationships. You may tend to attract lovers into your life who
are powerful and/or controlling.
If
your partner doesn't naturally embody the characteristics of Pluto,
then you may unconsciously do things and act in ways that are
almost iron-clad guaranteed to draw out the qualities of Pluto
(control) in the other person.
ASPECTS
OF PLUTO
OPPOSITION CHIRON Orb 1°39' Separating
As part of your generation, you may find that you struggle with
the darker side of life, feeling overcome by passions such as
envy, greed, lust, and jealousy. You do not understand from where
these destructive thoughts emerge, but are aware that the more
you try to push them to one side the more they grow in magnitude.
Your
lesson is to delve into your past, recognize past feelings of
rejection, and to transform your newfound understanding into positive
outlets. You may become a powerful healer, or attract powerful
healers into your own life.
CHIRON
CHIRON
IN PISCES
In Greek mythology Chiron was a centaur. Centaurs were creatures
that had a horse's body and legs, yet they had a human's torso
and arms. As a rule, these half-horse, half-human Centaurs had
the reputation for being wild and unbridled critters, being primarily
known for their insatiable sexual appetites. They belonged to
the wild "Dionysian crowd." You know - the sort of unsavory
folks your parents warned you about hanging out with (so they
fascinated you all the more). And, for the most part, centaurs
weren't exactly on very friendly terms with mortals.
The
centaur, Chiron, was the exception to this centaurian rule. Chiron
was known as a wise teacher, healer and prophet. The Greek mythology
encircling the figure of Chiron, The Wounded Healer, is of great
assistance in acquiring a deeper understanding of the energies
reflected by the Chiron in our sky. In the birth chart, Chiron
reflects the archetypal energies of the shamanic wounded healer
and teacher who potentially lives within each one of us. Chiron's
placement in the birth chart reflects an accidental wounding we
received (most often, but not always, in early childhood). This
Chironian wounding is an injury to our instinctual nature and
a wounding of trust.
The
wounding was generally brought about as the result of a stupid,
careless, thoughtless accident... so normally there's no one who
can be blamed with purposely, intentionally, maliciously wounding
us. The wounding was generally done by someone close to us...
someone we thought well of and trusted.
So
the wounding is a wounding of trust... And, further... a Chironian
wound is an injury that will never, ever totally heal. We learn,
suffer, and ultimately grow in soul from dealing with this sensitive
area of wounded instinct and trust... but the wounding will never
totally heal and go away.
This
Chironian wounding can, later in life and after much personal
struggle, then become a special area where we can help others
by the sharing of our healing and teaching abilities.
With
Chiron in Pisces you may find that you have difficulty gaining
your own sense of individuality. You have an innate ability to
feel others' pain and may find that you need to occasionally detach
yourself from others. You may also suffer from your own deep and
personal grief. You may work for or serve within a healing institution.
CHIRON
IN THE 1ST HOUSE
You are wounded, either emotionally or physically. Every time
you express your essential being you experience rejection. This
may lead to self-exploration and you may later become a wounded
healer or teacher.
ASPECTS
OF CHIRON
CONJUNCTION THE SOUTH NODE Orb 8°00' Applying
You feel your destiny is linked with easing other people's suffering,
probably after facing the painful side of your own life. It may
reflect an ongoing tendency on your part to become involved with
relationships which bring your deeper pains, wounds and hurts
up to the surface so that they can be understood and integrated.
You may suffer from physical illness, possibly altering the course
of your life. You may be a skilled healer or wise teacher.
THE
ASCENDANT
THE
ASCENDANT IN AQUARIUS
The Ascendant is your guide on the hero's journey through this
lifetime. With Aquarius on the Ascendant, others see as being
gregarious, unconventional, original, and objective. You tend
to view life from an intellectual stance and perspective.
You
have the ability to develop new and original ideas and projects,
particularly when working with groups of people. The element of
air.... stimulated mentally, detached perspective.... motivated
and recharged by intellectual concepts, social interchanges and
the communication of ideas and/or ideals.... the element of air
(barring other factors) tends to produce a fairly active mind.
The world is approached with reason and everything (everyone)
is open to analysis. Aquarius generates a friendly, people-oriented
mental energy.
Unconventional, friendly, unpredictable and innovative are all
characteristics of Aquarius. Aquarius thrives on originality and
may be a wee bit rebellious. Aquarius values life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. Aquarius values humanity and the world
of detached intellect. And inventive Aquarian energy (at its best)
is channeled through creative theoretical constructs which can
be used for the purpose of bringing about the greater social good.
Aquarius and Love (written to share with your mate, if you dare)
Your Aquarius lover will be a wonderful and engaging friend. Aquarius
can be (when he or she decides to kick up their heels) a wildly
exciting, fun, and exhilarating partner when it comes to a special
"wild night out on the town" or when doing something
of an original, bizarre, and/or unexpected nature. But taking
long romantic walks under the moonlight, quietly sipping wine,
and holding hands while engrossed in intimate conversation during
candlelit dinners? No, I don't think so.
It's
best that Aquarius' lover understands upfront that Aquarius, barring
other factors in the chart, tends not to be comfortable in close,
intimate, and personal one to one settings and/or - for that matter
- "relationships." Personal relationships and "intimacy"
have a tendency to get "emotionally messy," and Aquarius
can become extremely awkward when it comes to experiencing anything
that even vaguely smells of the "emotionally messy."
Aquarius
enjoys keeping things light and easy. Aquarius may likely view
any displays of emotion as being weakness in character. In particular,
Aquarius is normally aghast at any public displays of sentimental
emotion and/or feeling. Therefore, Aquarius is not generally recommended
as someone who you will want to seek out for emotional support
and/or to have a good cry on their shoulder.
Your
Aquarius lover is normally not going to be the most "touchie,"
"feelie," "snugglely" partner on the planet.
Aquarius is associated with the element of air - and, as such,
Aquarius may not be completely in touch and comfortable with his
or her own body. Aquarius may even turn on and turn off his or
her sexuality like a light switch.
It's
fascinating to me, that each year, we celebrate love and lovers
on February the 14th while the Sun is traveling through the Zodiacal
Sign of Aquarius. Down through the centuries, Valentine's Day
has progressively grown more and more associated with the friendship
qualities of Aquarian love.
Your
Aquarius lover is, in fact, the most comfortable with friendship
love. Aquarius tends to generate a friendly, people-oriented mental
energy. Unconventional, friendly, unpredictable and innovative
are all characteristics of your Aquarius lover. Aquarius thrives
on being unique, original, may even be considered a wee bit eccentric.
Aquarius
values humanity as a whole and enjoys living in a world of detached
intellect and ideals. Aquarius values life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. Aquarian energy (at its best) is channeled through
creative theoretical constructs which can be used for the purpose
of bringing about the greater social good. In plain simple language
that means Aquarius shines best when reaching out for their high
and lofty ideals. Your Aquarius approaches the world with a sense
of cold hard logic and reason - and everything (everyone, including
you) is open to his or her analysis.
Shadow:
Aquarius can become the prototype of the "mad scientist"
who becomes so consumed with and bent on creating something new
and original, that he or she refuses to look at the consequences
involved. In the pursuit of his/her ideals, Aquarius may remain
blind to the Pandora box of deadly plagues that's about to be
opened.
The
further temptation of Aquarius is the tendency to become the archetypal
"Iceman" of the Zodiac. Aquarian love can then become
icy, cold detachment and total isolation... with the "Iceman"
forever escaping into the safety of his/her own high ivory tower
of intellect and lofty ideals. The detachment of your Aquarius
lover then becomes a safe tower where no one can ever again touch
(and hurt) the "Iceman"...
With your Ascendant in Aquarius, the Ruling Planet of your chart
is the planet Uranus. So pay a little extra attention to the description
of Uranus in your chart (Sign, House, and Aspects).
By
the way... I wish I had a nickel for every time someone told me
'that can't be my Ascendant, I'm not like that!' Often the Ascendant's
energies are so close to us that we're the last ones to recognize
it. Give it some time to grow on you....
THE
ASCENDANT IN THE 1ST HOUSE
The ascendant forms the 1st house cusp in most house systems,
so this placement has no particular meaning.
ASPECTS
OF THE ASCENDANT
The Ascendant has no aspects to subsequent chart points.
THE
NORTH NODE
THE
NORTH NODE IN LEO
"Mission Impossible"
The
North Node describes a special quest and/or assignment in an area
of personality growth development that we are given by the Universe.
I might as well tell you up front that our North Node Quests are
NOT easy. In fact, for the most part, your North Node Quest is
NOT going to be something that you find fun, enjoyable, and/or
palatable.
Normally,
the North Node Quest is NOT something that you especially want
to do and/or that you're particularly "good at." The
North Node Quest is most generally going to be an area of life
and/or a behavior style that you're (spoken gently) rather lousy
at. But hey... it builds character! All in all, I guess you might
say that the North Node Quest is your very own "Mission Impossible."
This
is a quest to develop your inner strength. You may find that you
experience times of loneliness. These times are part of your lesson
to forge your own creative life in order to give generously to
the world.
Okay
now, I don't want to hear any grumbling in the chorus. Easing
up on you for a just a second... the truth is... most folks are
never fully able to accomplish their North Node Quest. Would it
help if I confessed that I'm not currently doing all that well
on my North Node Quest? My only suggestion is: just try not to
blow it TOO badly... (This page will self-destruct in 10 seconds.)
THE
NORTH NODE IN THE 7TH HOUSE
This is a quest for right relations. You need to let go of ego-centered
actions and devote your life to others.
ASPECTS
OF THE NORTH NODE
The North Node has no text available for aspects to subsequent
chart points.
THE MIDHEAVEN
THE
MIDHEAVEN IN SCORPIO
You have an intense need for recognition in your work. Your ability
to dig deep is brought to your professional life, and you may
attract crises at work. Research and public resources often feature
in your chosen career.
THE
MIDHEAVEN IN THE 10TH HOUSE
The Midheaven forms the 10th house cusp in most house systems,
so this placement means less than diddley.
ASPECTS
OF THE MIDHEAVEN
The Midheaven has no text available for aspects to subsequent
chart points.
PT FORTUNE
PT
FORTUNE IN ARIES
When you are flowing with self-propelled energy you will experience
the most joy and fulfillment. You will find achievement and sense
of completeness in using your willpower to achieve your goals.
PT
FORTUNE IN THE 2ND HOUSE
Your life is enriched through developing a set of values. Your
lesson is to detach from others' values and build a firm set of
your own spiritual values.
ASPECTS
OF PT FORTUNE
Pt Fortune has no aspects to subsequent chart points.
