There are four items of general interest that we want to take up here in Section I: A) Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis, B) Elements and Modes, C) The Ascendant and Midheaven, and D) The Conjunctions. These four categories give us an intelligent overview of how you structure personal experience and what you aim for in life. This general patterning gives us a context to understand the specific personal meaning of the material in Sections 2 through 11. A. Hemisphere and Quadrant Emphasis The different areas of life are laid out in the horoscope by spatial territories called houses. These areas of life show interests and general involvements for each person. These areas can be grouped together for a vast overview of most basic inclinations of the person. The most useful general groupings of houses is into hemispheres and quadrants. Emphasis in a hemisphere or quadrant shows a particularly strong focus toward life from that perspective. 1. Hemisphere The horoscope can be split into 2 equal parts, either horizontally (giving us the upper and lower hemispheres) or vertically (giving us the right and left hemispheres). The Upper Hemisphere shows the outer, more extroverted side of the personality, the Lower Hemisphere shows the more introverted and hidden side of the personality. In the Left Hemisphere planets are rising and this shows action. In the Right Hemisphere planets are setting and this shows reaction. Most planets Below the Horizon You have the majority of your planets below the horizon showing that you need time each day in isolation in order to recharge your batteries. You have a personal approach to life, preferring to work with people more than things and needing contact with the familiar in order to feel secure. Most Planets Setting You have the majority of your planets on the western half (or right-hand side) of your chart. Your natural tendency is to seek others' approval and to question the probable outcome of an action before putting your first efforts forward. 2. Quadrant The two ways of splitting the horoscope into hemispheres can be applied simultaneously giving us four quadrants. The FIRST is called the quadrant of personality. The SECOND is called the quadrant of the environment. The THIRD is called the quadrant of relationship. The FOURTH is called the quadrant of service. Most Planets in the Second Quadrant You have the majority of your planets in the second quadrant showing that you will seek out the life experience that increases your sense of belonging, your sense of connectedness, your sense of personal expression. You aim to develop a more secure and meaningful social life that offers a wide spectrum of emotional expression and unfoldment. You desire to create. B. Elements and Modes The Elements and Modes show what we aim for in life. They show our broadest focus and in the most general sense, how we go about achieving our goals. 1. Elements The four elements (fire, earth, air and water) are the most comprehensive inventory of the personality that we have. Everything in the universe including the human personality can be examined in terms of the four elements. FIRE is your basic enthusiastic urge, EARTH shows your concern for the material world, AIR is the element of abstract thought, WATER is your empathy impulse. Fire and earth are primitive and focus on the self. Air and water are derivative and focused on others. Fire and air are naturally extrovert, optimistic, active, and freedom oriented. Earth and water are basically introvert, pessimistic, passive, and security oriented. Fire You have 30% of your chart in the fire element. This fire supplies you with great energy for your own personal projects. Still, you suffer if the projects that you select are too big. You need quick victories to keep from losing heart, and to keep believing in yourself. The magic ingredient is believing in yourself. When you forget this, your life produces much frustration; you end up driven by duty more than desire. The trick to working with your fire element is to design the placement of your energy so that you get sufficient positive reinforcement, enabling you to keep reinvesting in your own projects. Earth You have 20% of your chart in the earth element. You have a natural knack for dealing with money, material resources, and projects where the end result is important. You may worry about your results and be very concerned that you aren't doing as well as you should materially. Still, in the long run, you are quite accomplished in knowing how to get the most out of existing conditions. Air You have 30% of your chart in the air element. You vacillate between being very interested in people and ideas and needing time by yourself. Periodic isolation and an involvement with routine, commonplace activities that do not require innovation are relaxing for you. You need both spontaneous activities as well as predictable patterns in your life. Water You have 20% of your chart in the water element. You work hard during this life to develop your emotions. You have lots of opportunity to work on your feelings. Your sense of emotional inadequacy drives you to express your feelings more. The outward appearance of caring substitutes for real concern while you are young; true empathy develops later in life. 2. Modes The three modes are CARDINAL, FIXED, and MUTABLE. The modes of expression show how you act out your urges in the world. They represent your most basic responding mechanism toward all of life experience. The cardinal planets show direct expression in physical action, leadership ability and strength. The fixed mode planets in your chart show reaction, consistency, persistency, endurance and stubbornness. The mutable planets in your chart show synthesis, blending, malleableness, thought, forethought, debate and wisdom. The following statements show the way the three modes manifest in your life. Cardinal You have 20% of your chart in the cardinal mode showing that you are capable of both leading and following. You know how to assert your point of view or execute someone else's. Your preference is to follow someone else's lead and embark on your own path only when you feel it is necessary. Fixed A tremendous amount of your chart is in the fixed mode. You have endurance. Whether a course of action is good or bad you are more likely to stay with it than change. The principle of inertia is with you. When you rest, you have real difficulty getting going. When you are in motion, you have real difficulty stopping or even changing directions (even slightly). People find you a loyal friend and a tenacious enemy. Mutable You have an abundance of mutability in your chart. You are a thinker and attempt to accommodate a number of circumstances and people in your environment. You may have difficulty choosing a direction and staying with it. Truth has a way of becoming a highly personal subjective factor; consequently, others think of you as not being able to communicate simple truths in a factual way. You are nervous and may need more B-Vitamins in your diet, rest, and meditation in order to be balanced. C. The Ascendant and Midheaven (Signs and Aspects) 1. The Ascendant The ascendant is symbolic of our relationship to our immediate environment. This is the point rising in the east when we are born. One manifestation of our immediate environment is our physical body. The physical environment includes our body, our surroundings and our emotional and mental states. Thus, the ascendant tells us how our inner core expresses itself, and how we take in information from others and the universe generally. The sign rising in your horoscope tells us the type of energy you are processing, the type of physical body that you have for doing the processing and the natural inclinations you have in the personal arena in life. The planets in aspect to your ascendant tell us the kind of energy and stamina you have as natural allies in life. The ascendant is opposite the seventh house cusp (the place where we meet others and the world). This axis (ascendant-descendant) is how we clarify ourselves through relationships. Planets in aspect to this axis indicate the types of people and the types of relationships we seek as well as how and why we seek them. LEO RISING You have a strong, fixed, and sunny projection of yourself into your environment. You can be very openhearted and very kind to others but for all your optimism and openness you can suffer from narrow self-interest and have difficulty seeing larger issues than circumstances in your own life. Freedom and immediate pleasure keep your attention in the moment but your self-concern and a stubborn quality can stop you from achieving as much as you would like in life. Everyone seems to genuinely like you; despite this fact very few people ever get really close, as your aura of self sufficiency keeps you distant. You identify a lot with how your relationships go in life. Still, it is usually more positive for you to directly and personally express the artistic and creative side of your nature rather than have this flair for the dramatic emerge in the interactive arena, where it has the tendency to create chaos. However, regardless of the difficulties, you do always "land on your feet". Your environment and relationships will always emanate a basic sense of good taste regardless of how high or how humble your surroundings. Moon Square the Ascendant You express your feelings in a way that can lead to misunderstandings and arguments. Some of the misunderstanding comes from communication difficulties and some of it comes from being at odds with others emotionally. Your personal life can improve when you make allowances for emotional differences between people in your community of family, friends, and lovers. You make your mark on the public consciousness, but your conflict between what you are doing and what you think you are doing stops this from being consistently positive. You have conflicting needs. In order to move forward, you must be free to act, unencumbered by other people's judgments. You need to be connected to the thinking of those around you in order to see accurately where you are going. This conflict is real but resolvable through emotional balance and practice. Worry less about whether or not others understand your intentions. Don't let difficulties in your daily routines stop you from completing your obligations. Mercury Square the Ascendant You like people and ideas but your manner of expression can put others off or create misunderstanding. Tolerance of other people's point of view is the beginning of having others understand you better. You express your opinions with so much force that others take issue with your ideas. You learn from argument and disagreement. But remember, a good idea that is expressed in a confrontational manner may not get a fair hearing. Understatement is usually more helpful than overstatement. Diplomacy begins by listening to others. Mars Sesquiquadrate the Ascendant You get flashes of energy that can carry you away from your basic goals and tasks in life. You sometimes find unique solutions for long standing conflicts and are able to bring about rapid change. Your ability to stay with a project, quite often surprised others. Your vitality and temperament have an underlying erratic tone. Life isn't always easy but it is very exciting. Physical exercise is very helpful in feeling happy. Saturn Semi-Sextile the Ascendant You work hard to develop discipline and continuity of purpose. When you become serious and focused your life tends to take on a very narrow caste. You suffer and life lacks joy. Balance is needed, and once acquired, you learn the amazing skill of having much come to you and from you with a minimum of effort. 2. The Midheaven The Midheaven is the high point in your chart. It indicates what you aspire for, what you see as your duty, and what authority and limits are about. Because of this basic meaning the Midheaven indicates how you live out your social station and what you do for your career. The point opposite the Midheaven is the fourth house cusp, referred to as the nadir, which is the indication of our roots, our heritage. This axis (Midheaven-Nadir) indicates the way we grow in life. The sign on the Midheaven shows our basic energy and approach toward dealing with the world. Planets in aspect to the Midheaven show qualities of our inner being that we wish to contribute to the world and that we wish to be fulfilled through our interaction with the outer world. ARIES MIDHEAVEN You are quick to start projects. You may not have a lot of follow-through. Basically, career supplies you with an emotional arena. You are quick and like being first. If you have staying power in your career, success comes to you. Venus Opposite Midheaven and in the 4th House and unafflicted. You work best in aesthetic surroundings. You have an instinctive attraction to things that improve and refine your taste. Your life improves culturally as you get older. Mars Trine Midheaven You have a large amount of extra energy to put into your career. You execute your plans swiftly. You are good at being able to spot an opportunity and to capitalize on it. You work well by yourself or in a position of leadership and generally, you find your niche. Neptune Opposing Midheaven and in the 4th House and unafflicted. You have a deep psychic reservoir of information. If you live near a large body of water or in a primitive environment you may find the inner side of your nature has an easier time making itself available to your conscious mind. Your psychic impressions about people are often quite accurate. Pluto Trine Midheaven Computers, math, psychology and working with symbols can be important on your job. You like digging out secrets and can be very well suited for research. You have strength of character that makes you a difficult person to oppose. D. The Conjunctions. A Conjunction occurs when two planets are in the same immediate area of the Zodiac. The conjunctions in your chart show central linkings of basic energies in your life. When one area (represented by a planet) expresses itself, it brings along the other area (represented by the other planet). When you are studying the rest of this printout of your life, keep in mind that linking of these energies is a central theme in your life and these areas should be studied together. Venus Conjunct Neptune Think of Sections V. VENUS - Your love nature, and X. NEPTUNE - Your spiritual aspirations and ideals, as a single unit. This Conjunction represents a central theme in the formation of your values. A longing for a higher ideal is always present. Mars Conjunct Jupiter Think of Sections VI. MARS - Your energy, and VII. JUPITER - Your values, as a single unit acting together. This Conjunction affects your energy and enthusiasm and is a central motivating force in your life. SECTION II. The SUN - Your Ego Structure The Sun is the center of the solar system. All life revolves around it within this sphere. In the same way, the ego is the center of personal identity and gives integration and continuity to individual experience. In this sense, it might be said that the Sun shows character. This is the fixed pillar at the center of the person around which all else circulates or revolves. The sign placement of the Sun shows the center of the individual's basic character. The sign of the Sun is the most primary indicator of the forms of experience you are attracted to. Further, this most important placement shows how and why you are attracted to these experiences. The house placement of the Sun sign shows the primary area of expression for the individual in life. There is a psychological, emotional, and physical significance to the house placement of the Sun. Aspects to the Sun show ways that the core of the personality are linked to other component elements in the individual's life. Aspects to the Sun have a deep and overriding significance in the life of the individual and are generally more important, more prominent than other aspects in the chart. SUN IN SCORPIO Control is the main ingredient in life for you. You are strong-willed, thorough, passionate and powerful. You are courageous and completely willing to go it alone when necessary. You tend to have a rather serious outlook on life, always probing, looking for the depths. Your life becomes more meaningful when you learn to be truly forgiving, when you control your sexual nature without repressing it. Strive to overcome envy, jealousy and possessiveness. Your intense, all or nothing attitude is very useful under some circumstances but all of life is not a battlefield. You turn that force to a high channel at some time in life and the search for meaning becomes a spiritual quest. Sun in 4th house You plan for the "long run" as part of your basic strategy in life. Your life improves with age because your real personality emerges more and more as you get older. You are interested in having your basic attachments and emotional interests taken care of before focusing your attention on anything else. Once this foundation is established you put your energy into satisfying your need for worldly fulfilment. Because you expect life to improve it generally does. Sun in 4th house Afflicted You may make yourself unhappy by trying too hard to establish a consistent pattern of security in life. Avoid letting your focus narrow to the point where you only care about your own family and home situation. SUN IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You are locked in a deep inner struggle that seems like life or death to you. This can spill over into your everyday life as violent outbursts and a quarrelsome nature. Your will is very powerful but perhaps misdirected. Even if you are presumptuous, defensive, and boastful, your life will change dramatically and instantaneously for the better as soon as you stop attacking others and refuse to even blame anyone else for your difficulties. Then, you will be able to really start controlling yourself. When this happens you will lose your desire to control others completely and forever. SUN SQUARE YOUR PLUTO Growth in the area of self control is fast when you learn compromise. You are difficult to understand, even for those close to you. You have amazing self-control, but pressure builds up until you experience a deep earth shattering explosion. This eruption is always a by-product of unrelenting continuous inner tension. In turn, this tension is created not by happenings or circumstances in your life, but, by your interpretation of events. Negative, primitive, even backward emotions (as well as higher understanding) emerge out of what things symbolize to you, not what they actually are. You are your own worst enemy and guilt can do you in. Correct use of the past creates a balance in your future. Resolving deep underlying personal conflicts (that make every issue seem like life and death decisions) frees up tremendous energy. SECTION III. The MOON - Your Personal Life. The Moon inscribes a circle around the earth. It moves more swiftly than other astronomical bodies and thus represents day to day and moment to moment movements, adjustments and preoccupations. The Moon is the symbol of the personal life which is moulded and shaped by our environment, by events, and by social and familial expectations. Further, the Moon shows our responses to life which are based on our past habits, experiences, our heritage and our individual and collective cravings. The sign placement of the Moon shows how you project yourself to the general public, how the instinctive and imaginative component of your mind operates, how you express your feelings and your most general experiences of your family and mother. The house placement of the Moon shows how and where you make day to day adjustments. Further, it shows the things you are most interested in dealing with in order to gain emotional equilibrium. The aspects of the Moon show the general characteristics of the personality that are emphasized. Planets in aspect to the Moon are symbolic of qualities in the personality that are used instinctively, habitually and with a high degree of versatility. MOON IN TAURUS You have a sense of inner satisfaction that is both your strength and your weakness. On one hand, you know how to be persistent, to feel contented and to take the sensuous joy in the goodness of life. On the other hand, you may have real difficulty getting going when your circumstances require change. You may have some talent for the arts and you certainly love the creation of beauty. Your feelings run deep and your instincts and reactions to life are very coloured by your past experiences. Moon in 10th house You come before the public and will generally long for recognition and acknowledgment. Your career may go through many changes but you will always be looking for an avenue into the larger community. You may receive help from women. Moon in 10th house Unafflicted You make meaningful career changes that reflect your inherently ambitious nature. You have the ability to express a good deal of your personality through your job which adds to your increasing career satisfaction. MOON IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MERCURY You have a restless mind and a lively imagination. You learn quickly because you can imitate what you see others do. It is possible to become over-sensitive to the environment and to make changes that are unnecessary through excessive imagination, worry, and slipshod, careless methodology. Your interest in communicating your ideas and perceptions to others often needs to be slowed down a little. Strive to make your information gathering and study habits stable and regular. MOON OPPOSITION YOUR MERCURY Trivial matters can greatly upset your emotional balance. You can be quite nervous and touchy, hearing criticism and irritation where other ears perceive only observations. Facts of everyday life come to you loaded with emotional meaning. When you feel that the environment is friendly you see differentiations and implications lost on less sensitive souls. Your digestion can be upset by your nervousness, hurry, or worry. Your life is easiest when you wait for others to act before you start to speak. Your skills are usually better used as a commentator or observer and generally less useful as a motivator. MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR JUPITER You are religious, dignified with a sense of justice which gives you a public image of being honourable and trustworthy. You are well liked and successful. You have a strong moral sense and are willing to take a stand on your beliefs. The good comes to you in life. MOON TRINE YOUR JUPITER Faith in life and basic, conservative instincts gives you position and prominence in your social circle. Others support you publicly and you are an inspiration to them. The public generally holds certain values as obvious truths. You subtly and instinctively reinforce the values and basic beliefs that power the decisions in most people's lives. Thus, you create a feeling in others that you are "one of us". You make the right choices. Your character seems trustworthy to others and you seldom disappoint them. MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN You are cautious and a careful planner. You lay a firm foundation in all that you do. Your instincts and habits are basically conservative. You are satisfied with slow progress. You apply the principles of consistency and patience to your benefit. MOON TRINE YOUR SATURN You do what seems right to you regardless of what others think. But what others think gets factored into your overall reality assessment which in turn determines what you do. You are accomplished, dutiful and disciplined in your daily habits. This leads to self-sacrifice without any great fanfare. You are talented but self-satisfied and content which keeps you aiming at the center of the road. This conservatism protects you from extremes of action so you may not accomplish much but you are always sufficiently productive to get rewarded for your efforts. MOON IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS You are a good idea person. You are highly emotional and intuitive. New thoughts and methods come to you in flashes. Make it a practice to write new ideas down as they occur. Your ability to explain your thoughts to others, once initially shaped in written form, can find further refinement through discussion if you are a careful listener. You are seldom satisfied unless you are making changes and the more innovative, the better. MOON SEXTILE YOUR URANUS You act on unique and experimental thoughts. You are humanitarian and freedom oriented in the way you explore life. You have a knack for improving your surroundings. SECTION IV. MERCURY - Your Mental Life. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. From the viewpoint of the earth it seems to dart back and forth across the face of the Sun, having three retrograde cycles a year. Mercury is the planet of your mental life. It shows how you receive, process and disseminate information. The sign placement of Mercury shows your basic attitude and mental habits. The aspects of Mercury show your scope of vision and your methods for accomplishing tasks. MERCURY IN SCORPIO Your mind is penetrating and critical. Avoid being too secretive and you will learn more. Your manner of expression is diplomatic but doesn't truly reflect the peevish probing that is always going on. You are a shrewd negotiator who expresses even controversial ideas in a rather positive manner. Your ideas are predetermined but you are smart enough to know that people don't usually respond favourably to you if they suspect this. You are in your own depths and keep your own counsel. Your life is smoother when you learn to relax, enjoy life, and adjust to changes going on around you. Mercury in 4th house Your mind is deeply affected by your family. As you get older you become more and more interested in how things work. Your natural curiosity can prompt you to study or travel a great deal. Mercury in 4th house Unafflicted Periods of rest and relaxation punctuate a busy, active life. You may find that when you make time to explain yourself to others that you have an uncanny knack of being able to say just the right thing to capture people's attention and understanding. MERCURY IN ASPECT TO THE MOON This indicates that you have a very personal, feeling mind. You have a very close personal use for your mental life. The details of this connection were discussed in Section III. The Moon - Your personal life. MERCURY IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR MARS You can be a tireless worker and powerful promoter of a cause. You like working with instruments and machinery and have some mechanical aptitude. Your temper can be problematic, getting you into squabbles and disagreements where there doesn't have to be any. You have difficulty being either a diplomat or a leader so you are best to define your own work and territory and stick to it. Learn to take a break when things don't go your way, rather than becoming angry and frustrated. MERCURY SEMI-SQUARE YOUR MARS Your temper flares quickly as your mind becomes easily nervous and overloaded with data. You experience this as irritation until you develop the ability to organize your thought process and harness your enthusiasm and energy to specific projects. MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN You have a disciplined mind and the good fortune to see the virtue in the slow, careful, and picky approach to a problem. You have ability in business, accounting, planning, and teaching. There is a solemn, peaceful side to your mind and you may withdraw periodically to reevaluate your life experiences. You can sometimes suffer from waiting for something that never comes or investing more time and money in a project that was a bad investment to begin with. Always enter a project with a predetermined time and energy cutoff point and you will seldom be disappointed. MERCURY SEXTILE YOUR SATURN You are cautious, disciplined and careful in your mental life. Early on, you figure out that your thirst for knowledge, organizing ability, and good memory are strengthening for you and help you at any job or career. Intellectual interests are a powerful motivator in any relationship. You like patience and consistency, admiring more mature people. You place a high value on integrity and being responsible. MERCURY IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS Lightning flashes of insight periodically send your life off in a new direction. Your intuitions are very accurate and you see to the core of an issue rapidly. You are very good at finding a shortcut that periodically intersects a major highway in life. For this reason you have a very useful as well as inventive mind. You succeed in any environment where you are allowed to contribute new methods and applications. You have the uncanny ability to speak others' thoughts before they surface. This makes you a hit while brainstorming or in any progressive circle of people. You have a natural interest in astrology, alternative healing, and New Age subjects. MERCURY TRINE YOUR URANUS You reach out toward the unknown with a certain flair for mental adventure, with an unshakable conviction in the correctness of your unique perspective. You believe in the power of your insights to make your world and others' better. You have the ability to inspire. Your mental conviction and humanitarian outlook helps others. SECTION V. VENUS - Your Love Nature. The planet Venus shows the way you express your love nature and what you aspire for in life as good or beautiful. Venus has much to do with how you form your values. The sign placement of Venus shows the type of love energy you have. The house placement of Venus shows the natural area of expression of the love energy. The aspects of Venus indicate how and under what circumstances you express the gentle and loving side of your nature. VENUS IN LIBRA You love balance, harmony, etiquette and having things done "the right way". Your feelings are refined, perhaps too refined, which can leave you vulnerable to other people's moods and feelings. Avoid becoming so wrapped up in others that you become dependent. You are a lover who has an easy time expressing your feelings. You are prone to being inconsistent in your relationships even though you have a sentimental streak in you. Your road to harmony is through partnership, pleasing others, and the arts. You are a charmer. Venus in 4th house You have a love of home, country, family and are a good and gracious host. You may have a deep attachment to your mother and your family of origin. This attitude helps you create a firm emotional foundation in your adult years. When your perspective on life is lifted from the provincial to the cosmopolitan you are capable of performing some great service for humanity. It is important that you do this without losing a comprehensive and integrated view of what your own personal family needs are about. Venus in 4th house Unafflicted Your love of beautiful surroundings and your instinctive sense of colour and form may emerge in your ability to put the finishing touches on other people's projects as well as contributing to your natural sense of design. VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR MARS You are a good partner and a good relator. You have a positive interest in marrying and will probably settle down in a permanent relationship early in life. You have an eye for value and will do things with people that increase your net worth. You are practical and make decisions that are profitable. VENUS SEXTILE YOUR MARS Your love nature is very energetic. You like people and learn much through relationships. You are very interested in having a romantic life and will go at it with some enthusiasm. VENUS CONJUNCT NEPTUNE You are idealistic and aesthetic in your orientation in life. The cultural muse is so strong you will have some involvement with art, music and the creation of beauty. In love you are an idealist and a dreamer. If your hunches and psychic impressions are accurate you get rich and have a happy life. If they are wrong you follow them anyway and never seem to learn, for you uphold truths that require no verification regardless of what goes on in the world around you. Your best safeguard is to work for the upliftment of the world. The more closely your values are united with the culture, the more likely they are to not go astray. VENUS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You are powerful and magnetic. You have a magic charm for dealing with people. You have a universal love for people that is non-sectarian and non-judgemental. You are sustained by material abundance that comes from others at some time in this life and may have a sizable inheritance. When you get involved with a project you can really pour yourself into it with seemingly limitless energy. This energy evaporates when you aren't involved in a project of personal importance. VENUS SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO You have a way of making your compulsive love nature an art form. You change people through your work with them. Your deepest personal changes benefit others around you. SECTION VI. MARS - Your Energy. Mars is the planet of desires. It shows how you aim at your goals and how you power yourself toward your goals. Mars represents your most fundamental wants. The sign placement of Mars shows the fundamental nature of your assertions. The house placement of Mars shows the area of your life you are most likely to focus on. The aspects to Mars show how and to what extent your desires and assertions are involved with other aspects of living. MARS IN SAGITTARIUS You desire independence. You are impulsive and optimistic and know how to turn every circumstance into some opportunity to further your cause. Your methods for going after what you want is to work hard periodically but your energy, while strong, is intermittent. You are a natural gambler and adventurer and take a sporting attitude toward difficult circumstances. Although you are argumentative at times, others admire the fact that you aspire to higher things in life. If you choose goals that are too distant, you run out of energy trying to get to them and fall back into wasting time wallowing in a defensive self-righteousness. Strive for consistency and stability. Any goal is obtainable, even independence, if you are willing to keep going towards it. Mars in 5th house You have a gift for dynamic self-expression. The theatrical side of your nature comes out as assertion and stage presence. Your love of excitement can translate into adventure, extravagance, a dangerous hobby, or gambling. Your children may remind you very much of your own childhood and there may be a close identification because of this. Mars in 5th house Unafflicted The world responds favourably to your natural flamboyance. You are a natural teacher in many ways. Make sure you have a physical outlet for your exuberance. You can be a powerful and attentive lover. MARS IN ASPECT TO MERCURY Your Mars in aspect to Mercury shows that you have a strong desire nature attached to your thought processes. The impact of this aspect on you reasoning process is discussed in Section IV. Mercury - Your Mental Life. MARS IN ASPECT VENUS You have Mars in aspect to Venus. This aspect shows sex appeal and interest in romance. This aspect is covered more fully in Section V. Venus - Your Love Nature. MARS CONJUNCT JUPITER You are enthusiastic, energetic, and fun loving. You have a keen interest in sports and a love of the outdoors. You trust your impulses and your timing is usually good because of this. You have an adventuresome spirit and a compelling desire for motion and travel. MARS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS You have quite a temper and your anger will be a stumbling block in life until you have handled it. You hate being trapped and act quite selfishly when cornered. This is overcome when you corral your emotional energy and find some peace of mind. Three things aid in this process. One, you need physical exercise every day in order to feel emotionally balanced and in good health. This is a release for your nervous energy. Two, you need to come to terms with the nature of your desires. Study your own nature to see what motivates you. This allows you to not blame others for your emotions or the situations you have gotten into. Three, develop a long range view of change that symbolizes freedom to you. You are a powerful innovator and just need to re-channel your energy so that you don't have to create and experience so much disharmony. MARS OPPOSITION YOUR URANUS Your attitude of being overly combative and challenging has to be moderated somewhat in order for you to get to your goals. Fighting and arguing can be a way of avoiding real change in your personality. Listen when others tell you that you have a "chip on your shoulder." MARS IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You attain many things that you aim for in life through the use of great force. You always seem to be able to draw up that little bit of extra energy that is necessary to push your project over the top. Actually, your supply of energy is almost limitless although it is well regulated and doesn't appear ostentatiously. You are powerful but gentle by temperament and have economy of effort down to a fine art. You can outmanoeuvre or out-manipulate almost anyone, but you aren't inclined to use this skill in a mean or self-aggrandizing way. You are a good organizer and a good leader. MARS TRINE YOUR PLUTO Your energy and stamina is truly outstanding. You drive with a dynamic activity toward the heart of any matter or issue. Courage and ruthlessness gives a certain "Spartan" quality to your unrelenting drive. SECTION VII. JUPITER - Your Values. Jupiter is the king of the planets. He is in charge of the order of creation. Jupiter shows your values, where you feel confident and in control, and where you feel you have something to teach others. The sign placement of Jupiter shows your values in life. The house placement of Jupiter shows the area of life you feel luckiest in and the area you receive the most help from other people and from the cosmos. The aspect patterns to Jupiter show the direct network of good and administrative power in your life. JUPITER IN SAGITTARIUS You are motivated by higher ideals than the material world. You are philosophical, inspirational, forward-looking and exceedingly tolerant. You are generous to the point of extravagance. You believe in yourself and life and consequently life believes in you. There is a lighthearted side of your nature that is forever liberated. Your values and aims in life are lofty and require you to set a very high personal standard. Living up to this standard gives you optimism and growth. Unless you are very well integrated (where your actions and values always agree) you will shuttle between two courses of action, the higher representing the real you, and the lower symbolizing your past. You are prone to a duplicity; your ideals are persevered in a higher abstract realm while less lofty characteristics determine the course of events in your life. When your ideals are too spiritual or too religious for your life pathway at the moment, you can be prone toward hypocrisy. If this is the case, you will engage in compensatory actions to acknowledge the freedom side of your nature. You may overspend or waste energy in purely symbolic actions that point toward an ideal. These actions don't move you forward much but also don't damage you much. You have a love of freedom that carries you far in your mind and on the surface of the earth. Jupiter in 5th house You are fond of self-expression. You are a natural creator, demonstrator and teacher. You experience much joy through artistic and cultural outlets. You have the ability to get along with children. Jupiter in 5th house Unafflicted You may be so enthusiastic and powerful in your self-expression that others find you difficult. Although you are generally successful in what you have been doing, avoid being so self-absorbed that you don't see what is going on in others' lives. Your confidence, in itself, however, encourages others to get on with their own lives. JUPITER IN ASPECT TO THE MOON You have an aspect from Jupiter to the Moon showing an interest in expressing values through your daily life. What you believe has more impact on what you do than it does for most other people. The information on this topic in Section III. (The Moon - Your Personal Life) may be helpful in grasping how you do this. JUPITER IN ASPECT TO MARS You have an aspect of Jupiter to Mars. This aspect shows that you have an optimistic spirit and have the ability to assert your desires. Your enthusiasm may come forward as combativeness or as competition but in either case you are a lively participant in life. Your values and your energy emerge as zest for living. This aspect is commented on further in Section VI. Mars - Your Energy. JUPITER IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR SATURN You have an underlying self-confidence that is based on your belief that life will give you whatever you want if you are willing to work for it. You see the reasonableness in the way that things happen and are willing to invest in yourself. You are very industrious, believing that hard work will bring you progress. You have a taste for material acquisition but are willing to work for what comes to you. JUPITER TRINE YOUR SATURN You see opportunity in ways that enhance your security and places where others only see limitation. A stable foundation in life comes through correct judgement and knowing how to take intelligent risks. You are fortunate because you have an inner guidance that leads to following well established procedures and principles unconsciously. You deal with limits and obligations in ways that help you achieve your goals. JUPITER IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS Avoid your gambling impulses. The "long shot" and the impractical choices call you. Don't answer and you will be richer for it. You need to be grounded because your imagination is so far beyond the happenings of our common reality that you are likely to start selling real estate franchises on Mars before anyone has ever landed there. Make sure your ideas are practical before you start putting effort into them. New ideas you will always have; your difficulties come from putting energy into them. You don't see the necessity to work for a new idea in a realistic way because you have a belief that worthwhile ideas promote themselves. Consequently, you can end up "an armchair revolutionary". Make it a practice to sift through your ideas and actively support the most important. JUPITER OPPOSITION YOUR URANUS You have a wide angle perception on what life can offer. You are destined to go through many sacrifices in order to fulfil your picture of what life can be at its best. Your urge for freedom leads you to take bold risks even when you don't wish to. JUPITER IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO This life certainly has its ups and downs for you. Your tendency to exaggerate, overindulge or over-commit yourself gets you in trouble until you adopt the philosophy of life that "you get out of life what you contribute." At this point you stop trying to get something for nothing and your financial picture becomes much more stable. You get in your own way at times by over-assertion or saying the wrong thing. You can have a bluntness and a vulgarity that creates a negative picture that you may have a hard time overcoming. Gain control of your own life and the path to higher success is not only swift but fun. JUPITER SESQUIQUADRATE YOUR PLUTO You have a very expansive overview and philosophy of life. You are required to work on yourself in order for your optimistic insights to manifest in a practical way. Intense self-examination, personal honesty, and perseverance brings great luck your way. SECTION VIII. SATURN - Your Obligations. The planet Saturn shows where you feel restricted. You feel obligations and fears through Saturn. Because of your feeling connected with Saturn you are either responsible or neglectful. The sign placement of Saturn shows the basic type of energy connected with your obligations. The house placement of Saturn shows an area of life that you feel restricted in and work hard to obtain the things that come to you. The aspects of Saturn show the most direct involvement of other areas of your life with your feelings of responsibility. SATURN IN VIRGO You fear the unknown. You create more and more detail, become more analytic, and increase your technical proficiency, all to push back the frontiers of the great expanse. You need to have more faith in life and avoid being wrapped up in endless dissecting. You want to adjust to life on its own terms. Remember, your perceptions of the world exist in your mind as potentials first. Give up worrying. You are very productive and enough is enough. Saturn in 2nd house You have a restricted picture of yourself and of what you can accomplish. You work hard to accumulate worldly goods. You may often worry about money regardless of how much you have. Saturn in 2nd house Unafflicted Your hard work brings stable and consistent success. Your conservative impulses make you a cautious planner and a good strategic investor with both your time and money. SATURN IN ASPECT TO THE MOON You have Saturn in aspect to the Moon showing a close relationship between your upbringing and your emotional outlook. This connection is explored in its essence in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life. SATURN IN ASPECT TO MERCURY You have Saturn in aspect to Mercury showing that you have a serious approach to life and a more reserved outlook. This is discussed in Section IV. Mercury - Your Mental Life. SATURN IN ASPECT TO JUPITER You have Saturn in aspect to Jupiter showing that you have an interest in procedures and legal structures. This interest is discussed in Section VII. Jupiter - Your Values. SATURN IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR URANUS You have a balance respect for the new innovative insights (that are always occurring to you), for what empirically works, and the traditional approaches to which we still have attachments. This can give you an air of diplomacy and stoicism. You know how to get things done and have some patience with circumstances in the world. SATURN SEXTILE YOUR URANUS You have good balance between the traditional and the innovative approaches to life. You develop diplomacy and know-how which help you find new ways of accomplishing and fulfilling your obligations. SECTION IX. URANUS - Your Search For Freedom. The planet Uranus is beyond the orbit of Saturn and can't be seen without the aid of a telescope. It represents the sky in us, that which transcends the limits of finite life. Uranus raises the vibration of everything it contacts. The sign placement of Uranus shows your broadest striving for freedom. The house placement of Uranus indicates your area of direct unique expression. The aspects to Uranus indicate the way you express your need for higher consciousness. URANUS IN GEMINI You have powerful ideas that may or may not be practical. You are spontaneous and excitable, ready to move with a new idea. You may be unsettled or even annoyed by activity around you. Uranus in 11th house You are a true patriot of social causes. You are optimistic, humanitarian and a true believer in the goodness of people deciding their own destiny. You have several different types of friends, some quite unusual. Your ideas are ahead of their time. Uranus in 11th house Unafflicted You are more than just an inspiration to others. You are not a "grandstander" but intentionally pull originality out of others; consequently, you are supported and utilized rather than just admired from afar. URANUS IN ASPECT TO THE MOON You have Uranus in aspect to the Moon. This indicates that you have an emotional pattern that expresses your uniqueness. This is explained in Section III. The Moon - Your Personal Life. URANUS IN ASPECT TO MERCURY You have Uranus in aspect to Mercury. Your Mental attitudes express your quest for freedom. This is explained in Section IV. Mercury -Your Mental Life. URANUS IN ASPECT TO MARS You have Mars in aspect to Uranus which means you are attempting to raise the vibration of your desire nature during the course of this life. Exactly how that works out in the day to day world is shown by Section VI. Mars - Your Energy. URANUS IN ASPECT TO JUPITER You have Uranus in aspect to Jupiter showing that you have a big vision of what life can be at its best. How this works out for you is discussed in Section VII. Jupiter - Your Values. URANUS IN ASPECT TO SATURN You have Uranus in aspect with your Saturn. This indicates that you are attempting to accommodate the urge for security and the urge for freedom. More detail on this blending is in Section VIII. Saturn -Your Obligations. URANUS IS IN HARD ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You provoke violent responses in others. There is a fanatical side to your idealism and you are often involved in revolutionary projects that seem simply destructive for no good reason. You see yourself as some kind of intellectual pioneer but you don't help the world much until you recognize that ends and means are the same. Violence begets violence and love breeds love. The ends you achieve in life are the exact by-product of the means used for getting to them. Good and humanitarian ideas can only be of real help in life when they are implemented with love and respect for life. URANUS SEMI-SQUARE YOUR PLUTO You have to struggle with a deep level of your own psyche that is demanding freedom and personal expression. As this deep force inside of you emerges you can be left feeling frustrated or alternately learning from profound mistakes. It is hard for you to avoid feelings of alienation at such times, but if your efforts can be put into dealing effectively with the needs of others, your own life is much easier. SECTION X. NEPTUNE - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals. The planet Neptune has an almost perfectly circular orbit. It represents the part of our nature that strives for perfection, that looks to some higher ideal. The planet Neptune rules the ocean and the part of us that is beyond the limits of the shores of personal existence. The culture moves with the cycles of Neptune and it is the primary indicator of your connection to the culture that you live in. The sign of Neptune shows an ideal that you desire to manifest. The house placement of Neptune shows the area of your life that you want to express this ideal in. The aspect patterns of Neptune indicate the most direct connections yet most subtle networking of your personality into the world at large. NEPTUNE IN LIBRA You have a powerful desire to create harmony because you believe that by doing so you reduce the pressure on people and create the circumstances of justice, peace, and understanding. You see humanitarian ideals not just as correct, but aesthetically pleasing. Neptune in 4th house You go to some trouble to secure the congeniality of your home environment. Your roots in life are tied to your spiritual outlook. You may live in surroundings that strengthen your intuition of psychic perceptions like being near a large body of water or in a spiritual commune. Neptune in 4th house Unafflicted Spiritual longings grow stronger as you get older. You are able to create an island of solitude where you can retreat from the day-to-day pressures. As you get older, this inner fortress stops being so much an escape and more a pillar of stability in your personality. NEPTUNE IN ASPECT TO VENUS You have Neptune in aspect to Venus. This indicates that you are very artistic by inclination and idealistic in love. This pattern is described in Section V. Venus - Your Love Nature. NEPTUNE IS IN SOFT ASPECT TO YOUR PLUTO You are fundamentally an idealist. You would like to see change come about in a way that doesn't destroy the existing social order. You believe in transition and transformation as saner and kinder principles of social change than revolutionary upheaval. NEPTUNE SEXTILE YOUR PLUTO Your higher ideals are the continuous recipient of forceful energy for change. Your long range perspective (even though this may at times be unconscious) is always toward your ideals winning out through deep self transformation. SECTION XI. PLUTO - Your Need For Fundamental Change. The planet Pluto represents the dark underground part of you. It shows your ability to transform the most fundamental properties in your own inner nature. The sign of Pluto is the way the obsessive, compulsive and committed part of your nature expresses itself. The house placement of Pluto shows the area of life where you make your most fundamental and most potent changes. The aspects to Pluto show the deepest most unconscious links in your personality structure. PLUTO IN LEO At best, you believe in yourself and are willing to stand on your own. You have a need for self expression. At worst, you are completely stuck on yourself, and have a strong desire to bend everyone else to your will. Pluto in 1st house Life is a battle to you. You are powerful. You are so secret that you don't even know what goes on in your inner depths. You are a loner and a magnetic and adventurous explorer. Your hunger for experience is insatiable. Pluto in 1st house Unafflicted Others don't understand you but they do respect your ability and your vast array of potentials. Your robust and dynamic intensity is generally admired and utilized by others. You may make a good troubleshooter because you are intense and self-reliant. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO THE SUN You have an aspect from Pluto to your Sun showing that much of your ego stays submerged and that you have a deep wellspring of inner forces to call upon. This is described in Section II. The Sun - Your Ego Structure. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO VENUS You have an aspect of Pluto to Venus showing that you have a very deeply entrenched love nature that you are transforming. The details of this are discussed in Section V. Venus - Your Love Nature. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO MARS You have an aspect of Pluto to Mars. This indicates that you have a very powerful desire nature that is being refocused. This aspect of your life is discussed in Section VI. Mars - Your Energy. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO JUPITER You have an aspect of Pluto to Jupiter showing that you have a deep connection with the abundance of the earth. How this works out is taken up in Section VII. Jupiter - Your Values. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO URANUS You have an aspect of Pluto to Uranus indicating you have a powerful urge to change in a fundamental way. This change in described in Section IX. Uranus - Your Search for Freedom. PLUTO IN ASPECT TO NEPTUNE You have an aspect of Pluto to Neptune which shows your involvement in a large cultural process. This involvement is described in Section X. Neptune - Your Spiritual Aspirations and Ideals. SECTION XII. SUMMATION. A. YOUR UNIQUENESS Part of your style of being a person is tied to your personal method of adapting to and interacting with other people. This aspect of your personality shows itself through every aspect of how you deal with the environment. This method of your being encourages as well as reveals your uniqueness. YOUR MAJOR PLANETARY ASPECT IS A PARALLEL AND CONTRAPARALLEL. You are very resourceful. You always find a deep inner strength with which to take some steps forward. When the going is difficult, you are still able to build some type of victory or personal reward on anything that happens in your life. You have a passive ability to endure and wait. You have an active talent for planning. Your keyword is Reorganization. B. YOUR EASIEST AREAS. The following material is an index of things that you have developed as inner resources. You may take them for granted, but in times of reevaluation and rest this part of your personality can provide you comfort and strength. Well-Aspected Venus. You have natural instincts for how to deal with people. Diplomacy is your way of moving forward in life. Focusing on the important issues between you and your loved ones usually makes meaningful compromises possible. When you concentrate on your first priorities and assert the gentler side of your nature, your life improves. Well-Aspected Saturn. You know your limits. This single quality can stop you from getting into any deep troubles as you instinctively pull back to preserve your gains before you become too vulnerable. The conservative side of your personality is an asset. Well-Aspected Neptune. Your insights and ideals give you the ability to rise above the circumstances in your life that seem limiting. Your comprehensive and ever-expanding outlook can be a source of inspiration for others. Moon in Taurus. You have an inner strength that is rooted in uncommonly deep self-acceptance and self-satisfaction. You have very consistent habits that help you. Venus in Libra. You have the ability to weigh all the options against each other and come up with a winning formula that is pleasing to you and everyone else. Diplomacy is a strength and a virtue. Jupiter in Sagittarius. Your instinctive judgement of what is important in life has you moving in the right direction in the most general terms. Your life betters through the study of philosophy, religion, faraway places and ideas, as well as the spiritual path. Uranus in the Eleventh House. You have the ability to see and utilize the good in everyone you meet. Your inclination to focus on the uniqueness of each person and each situation in life gives you a powerful asset in everything you do. Neptune in the Fourth House. Your natural feeling for your own life and life in general is very positive. Family and your emotional roots can create a pattern of positive expectation that you can always fall back on. C. YOUR MOST PERSISTENT DIFFICULTIES. This material describes the "cutting edge" of your work on yourself. The thoughts rendered here are meant as further guidelines for growth. You should take difficulties and challenges in the right spirit. They are always positive indicators as to how you can experience the joy of becoming a better person and more like your REAL SELF. Afflicted Sun The way that you naturally seek self-expression and ego satisfaction cuts against the grain of personal integration. Simply put, you get in your own way. Locate the source of your self-imposed conflict and work toward forms of expression that bring the conflicting elements of your personality together on friendly terms. Moon in the Tenth House You are easy to see but difficult to be close to. You mingle well with the public but have difficulty letting others know your real inner nature. Your personal life improves as you get over a deeply rooted fear of others. D. THE GROWTH ASPECTS The Growth aspects operate differently than other aspects in your chart. While it is possible to use them descriptively, as showing finer shades of meaning within the chart, we wish to use them in a different manner for our purposes. The growth aspects are tools of self development. If you apply attention to the various qualities in your nature linked through the growth aspects, you will see positive change over time. These qualities generally do not show quick effortless solutions, but instead show a path of change requiring exertion and emotional honesty. Under these circumstances, the way these aspects of your nature change through time are truly amazing. The qualities mentioned here can be the very mechanisms to release the highest, finest side of your nature. Sun in Growth Aspect to Mars You have a rashness and anger to your personality that never quite ex-presses itself correctly. Too much ego involvement with your assertive instincts or lack of ownership of your directness can impede positive self-expression. As you get older you learn to channel your feelings more appropriately. Sun Semi-Sextile Mars There is an emotional and energetic side of your personality that goes through a long process of overcoming shyness. As you become more comfortable with your own aggression, you find ways of expressing it so that the results are neither covert nor dishonest. Strength is found by learning to depersonalize your feelings. E. THE DECLINATIONS There is another dimension to your astrology chart. This has to do with planets being the same distance from the celestial equator. When both planets are on the same side of this plane there are called parallel. When the planets are the same distance but on opposite sides of the celestial equator they are referred to as being contra-parallel. Both of these aspect activate your ability to organize and reorganize some aspect of your life. Moon Parallel Saturn A sad undertone to the personality and a distrust of your ability and what you have coming in life can contribute to a pattern of negative expectations which can make your life quite difficult, but, these same ingredients can give you perseverance and strength. As you learn to translate your cautiousness and shyness into care and concern for others you have an ever increasing capacity to serve. Self honesty during those troubling critical moments can make your life very successful. Venus Parallel Neptune An artistic outlook and a compassionate feeling colours your every thought about life and your relationship to others. You are a dreamer and an idealist in all things. Mars Parallel Jupiter There is a fiery and powerfully zealot-like aspect to your nature. You are generous but extravagant. Extra energy and enthusiasm springs spontaneously from your nature. Trying to "run over" potential obstacles that confront you gives trouble with established codes and ethics. Cognizance of their existence and their relevance to your situation safeguards your expression. Uranus Parallel Pluto Your basic conflicting urges from deep within your being will rush forward every so often, causing you to make dramatic changes in your life. As you get used to letting the need for uniqueness come forward and express itself, this aspect of your nature stops being so explosive and just becomes part of the inventiveness that makes you so fascinating. Sun Contra-Parallel Ascendant Much of your self-esteem and self awareness comes through the picture of what others think about you. On the other hand how you feel about yourself has a lot to do with determining the content of relationships. Improving your life means finding ways of improving your way of relating. Moon Contra-Parallel Mercury You have a need to know what others are thinking and this puts you forward in life to share what is on your mind as a format for acquiring more information about other people. Your vast range of interests can make you an interesting conversationalist. Venus Contra-Parallel Midheaven Pleasant physical surroundings are an important part of your forward motion in career. You have a mission in life to create harmony, and generally you are successful over the long haul. The way others approach you has a deep effect on how you feel about yourself and your position in other people's lives. Mars Contra-Parallel Uranus You feel that circumstances dictate quick responses from you and this means that you often struggle to make your erratic behaviour constructive rather that abrupt and accident oriented. Correctly channelled, you are able to create new and unusual ways of completing your everyday tasks. You can be in a hurry but this can end up giving you much leisure time. Mars Contra-Parallel Pluto Other people arouse in you great responses which includes adding to your already sufficient energy. This can allow you access to more resources which in turn allows you more influence and more expression. It's as if others assist you to touch into some underground spring of energy. This is not always pleasant but it can always be revealing and relevant if you pay attention. Jupiter Contra-Parallel Uranus High minded ideals prompt you to act without sufficient back up or forethought, but, still you are lucky and will see a number of your spontaneous actions come to a great conclusion. Your hunches are accurate great much of the time and your picture of what life can be at it best is progressive and uncannily accurate. Still, you need a good deal of patience and hard work to bring your higher ideals down to earth. Jupiter Contra-Parallel Pluto You have a big picture of what life can offer and your long view of every situation coupled with your nature instinct to be suspicious of everything that could possibly go wrong allows you to catapult into prosperity. You have a natural ability to spot opportunity and can be very avant garde and forward looking. F. YOUR KARMIC DIRECTION The Moon's North Node is an all encompassing and instructive point of synthesis in the chart; we could easily start or end our analysis with this one single factor. Because this indicator is so all inclusive it most shows your karmic direction in life. The sign placement of your North node points to your destiny. When your actions, interests, and values are structured by this position, your general sense of personal well being improves. The house placement of the North Node of the Moon indicates or points to an area of life, an arena of experience. By confronting, even augmenting this arena you can inadvertently improve every aspect of your life. By dealing with issues connected to the North Node placement in your chart your general character strengthens and refines. North Node of the Moon in Taurus Practical concerns and involvement with material progress betters your self-esteem which in turn betters your life. Concentrate on simple basic principles and patiently accumulate security. Your foundations in life tend to be ignored as your energy is absorbed in overly personal projects. Let the passions of your heart and mind give way to a more matter of fact, simple, detached, and stable pattern of action; be less reactive, more patient and self satisfied. North Node of the Moon in Taurus and in the Tenth House You are cool, practical, and responsible at your best and emotionally childish at your worst. After your vision becomes less coloured by your attachments to your emotional history, then much of your time and attention will be absorbed with the process of identifying your true obligations. The more rational and worldly you become the stronger you feel. Use this skill to deal effectively with family issues which tend to be way too secretive, unfocused, and immature. Take care of others' needs without fanfare or expectation of gratitude. TABLE OF DEFINITIONS These are some basic astrological definitions.
