INTRODUCTION: NATAL CHART
Astrology/astronomy is the oldest recorded science known to man. Much precious space has been given to recording the appearance, disappearance, and cyclical movements of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars in early man's tedious efforts to communicate his history AND his ideas to future generations. Sumerian cuneiform script on clay tablets dating back over 2,000 years BC had texts correlating time (calendars) to the heavenly bodies. Many tablets also displayed some of the same glyphs and characters that we use today in astrology, while others recorded the close correlation observed between earthly and celestial phenomena.
In the seventh century BC, Assyrian Astrologers became quite sophisticated in predicting eclipses and retrogradation of the planets by observing their movements against the background of the stars and constellations. These observations provided the earliest body of knowledge on which the study of both Astrology and Astronomy are based today. However, this was not the purpose of their observations. The astrologer's responsibilities were to provide their priests and rulers with favorable and unfavorable times for religious and social activities, and for the affairs of state. As a result of their efforts, a considerable body of knowledge and astrological lore was accumulated and recorded.
Early man gazed at the planets and stars and discovered that their positions in the heavens and their distances from each other were constantly changing, and that those changes formed patterns which were repeated and predictable. He observed that all of nature in his world was directly related to those changes. Confined as he was to a small patch of earth where even boundaries and limits were unknown, it is little wonder that he began to correlate the events in his own life with the cycles of the planets and the stars, and to seek to live in harmony with their changing patterns and with nature.
Today's man, through the science of Astronomy, uses these same stars to guide him on his personal visits to some of these heavenly bodies. Astronomy also helps modern man to place his own stars (satellites) in the sky. Some of these provide forms of communication which would be as difficult for early man to believe and understand as it seems to be for some Astronomers and others to believe that the ORIGINAL planets can still communicate influences to man today. Since these influences affect only the feelings, and the individual does have free will to make his own decisions, Astrology cannot meet a "scientific test" of "repeated results under controlled conditions". Neither can religion, for that matter, yet most people believe in some form of religion.
Astrologers have been observing correlations of "As Above, So Below" for centuries, resulting in a tremendous body of knowledge. They are constantly studying, comparing, defining, delineating, and recording these influences and their meanings. Today, sophisticated computers make these tasks easier and the information more reliable. Thanks to the diligence of the ancients for preserving the records and to the enormous capacity of computers to store and sort information, today's Astrologer can cast a better chart and interpret it more accurately and completely than ever before.
The Natal Chart interpretations are found by computing the astrological data for the date, time, and place of your birth. Your chart is unique in its combination of planetary positions, aspects, and influences. There are literally thousands of variables in the natal chart alone, and each individual will usually have less than a hundred of these variables in his or her chart. We will print all of those which apply to your particular birth time and place, and they are what make you the unique individual that you are. We try to present this information in such a way that you can recognize and interpret the "blueprint" of your own "Personality Profile."
There will be Delineations that appear to absolutely contradict each other, and there will be some that you cannot believe applies to you at all. Please try to keep an open mind and read the Natal Report all the way through. We will address all these concerns, and more, on the last page.
Astrology is not "fatalism". "What Is To Be" is not necessarily what WILL be. The individual always has free will to make his/her own choices. Your horoscope reveals the astrological imprints upon your personality at the time of your birth. It has been up to you to decide which influences to accept and which influences to challenge. Personal growth results from those choices. Read the interpretation of your Natal chart and look back on your life. Is this you? Was this you? We think you will be amazed!
Given below is some technical data that your astrological analysis is based on. This data is derived from the date, time, and place of your birth, and is unique in that it applies ONLY to YOU.

YOUR ASTROLOGICAL IDENTITY
The sign which the Sun was in when you were born tends to give you your astrological identity. How many times have you heard the question, "What sign are you"? . . . How many times have you had people identify themselves with the statement: "I am a Leo, I am an Aries, I am a Pisces", etc. . . . Many times for both questions, I am sure.
Practically everyone knows his or her own Sun-sign. You probably have also noticed that most people have heard some simplistic Sun-sign interpretations and they are likely to add, "I am a natural leader--I'm a Leo, you know"; or, "Of course I have a temper, I'm an Aries"; or, "Pisces people are naturally psychic".
These generalities are sometimes accurate, but not all Leos are leaders, not all Arians have temper tantrums, nor, are all Pisceans especially psychic. Even when these simplistic statements are true, there are many more influences in the Sun-sign of each individual and many other astrological influences that affect that individual's personality. If astrology were taken no farther than the Sun-sign, it would be telling us that we are like every other person who was born under our particular Sun-sign!
The Sun sign IS perhaps the most important SINGLE factor among the thousands of variables drawn from when setting up the horoscope. Through the sign it occupies at the time of your birth, it colors your personality so strongly that it usually can be recognized throughout your lifetime. It indicates the ways in which you express your basic energy potential and your creative drive to grow and develop as an individual. It is also one of the major factors from which you draw upon to develop your personal identity and self worth.
You have only one Sun-sign, however, and even if it IS the most powerful of all the stellar bodies, its influences are modified by the house in which it is found and by its hemispheric location in the chart. Its relationship to the Natal Moon is also legendary, and warrants special attention in the interpretation process. Even more modifications can be expected from the aspects of the Sun to the other planets and to the Ascendant and Midheaven, from what "Mode" and "Element" it is in, and by the house positions of the sign Leo, which is "ruled" by the Sun. When you take all these things into consideration you can certainly see that there is much, much more to your identity than your Sun-sign.
However, this popular interest in Sun-sign astrology does account for a proliferation of Sun-sign publications, and one can find Sun-sign interpretations and legends in literally hundreds of astrological books and magazines today.
In the following delineation of the Sun-sign in your chart, we have tried to include those influences that are most consistent in the interpretations of the ancients, the masters of astrology, and the teachers of astrology--as well as those of the many gifted researchers and newcomers in astrology today.
SUN IN SCORPIO
The Sun is in Scorpio from approximately October 23 through November 21. Key words are regeneration, resourcefulness, and secrecy: key phrase is "I desire". In many ways, Scorpio is the most powerful sign in the Zodiac because it is ruled by Mars and Pluto. People born under this sign deal with the processes of fundamental transformation on all levels.
Llewellyn George in his "A to Z Horoscope Maker and Delineator" (Llewellyn Publishing, Thirty-sixth Printing, 1974), writes: "In Scorpio the Sun gives strong characteristics and shrewd, keen judgment. The Scorpion native is critical, suspicious, skeptical but enterprising, reserved, tenacious, determined and secretive. Fond of luxuries but economical and calculating; restless, energetic, fond of travel especially on water and admires grandeur in nature. Attends to own affairs in business but in matters of duty may make trouble for others. In speech plain, blunt, sarcastic and forceful; in politics or law very aggressive. At best, original, scientific, sagacious, daring and creative, capable of much success through bold enterprise. Fine engineers, contractors, surgeons, chemists, detectives and sheriffs are born in this sign." (Circa 1908.)
Max Heindel (Rosicrucians, 1927), writes: "The Sun in Scorpio, when well aspected, gives great energy, courage and independence. It makes the mind active, and favors success in such occupations as those of the surgeon or soldier. It also tends to improve the finances after marriage, but tends to extravagance. The Sun here afflicted gives the person a very blunt, brusque manner, a feeling that his judgment is better than that of others, and a tendency to ride rough-shod over anybody or anything that stands in his way. It often makes him indifferent to suffering, and may transform the surgeon into a vivisectionist."
Your Sun in Scorpio gives you power, will, and intense emotional desires. Your life is likely to be a constant struggle to conquer desire through creative use of the will. In general, you try to improve the status quo. In all your endeavors, it is important that you embark upon the proper course from the start, since you will act with all your power. Your perfectionism makes it difficult for you to delegate responsibility, consequently you tend to overwork in order to achieve perfection in all details. Whatever you do, you do it with concentration and enthusiasm. You are extremely strong-willed and tenacious in pursuing your objectives. Fierce pride, courage, and emotional strength are yours in abundance.
You are not often the diplomat, but can be rather blunt in expressing your feelings and ideas. You have an intense curiosity to know the nature of things and how things work. You could excel in scientific research, or in any work involving investigation and detection. You also tend to be very secretive, and will not tolerate anyone betraying your trust or a confidence.
You love mysteries and are deeply attracted to the dark and secret side of life. You never take things at face value and are always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is REALLY going on. You tend to be more of a cynic than an idealist. Your intuition is well developed as a rule, often allowing you to penetrate the thoughts of others. You need to develop that intuition at a spiritual level and tap the power of the creative and regenerative forces of nature. With that connection, your accomplishments could begin to border on the miraculous.
You have a high sense of justice. Although you may despise weakness in yourself and don't like to see it in others, you can be compassionate to the point of over-extending yourself to help someone else. You have tremendous staying power and will see things through to the bitter end. However, your patience will come to an abrupt halt if you perceive that those you are trying to help are making no effort to help themselves.
You also have a powerful need for deep emotional involvement and you form very intense attachments and love bonds. You are possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that you perceive as a threat to your relationships with those you love. When you commit yourself to someone, you are whole-heartedly devoted and expect complete loyalty in return. You merge with or "marry" the person you love at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for you--often stormy and nasty. When you have been wounded, you are not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Certainly you will never forget the injury, and you may hang onto resentments for a long time. Forgiveness doesn't come easily to you.
You cannot live at a superficial level, and whatever you become involved with is generally of serious consequence. At sometime in your life, there is almost certain to be a combination of circumstances or a crises of such impact that you will feel your whole life has been completely changed. You may be totally aware when you reach this turning point, or (if you are lucky) it could seem so insignificant that only when you look back on it, you will realize that your total outlook on life is different. Even positive change can be painful, but you can be sure that the new direction your life will take after this metamorphosis is a path toward higher purpose and more rewarding achievements.
YOUR RISING SIGN
It would be impossible to even estimate the number of individuals who share your Sun sign, but just the opposite is true for your Rising sign. Only those who were born at the same geographic location and at the same exact moment of time could share the same precise second, minute, and degree of the sign upon your Ascendant. A difference in birth time of even a few minutes and/or a few degrees of latitude or longitude can alter the signs upon the houses and the locations of planets within the houses.
The horoscope is a circle, and the whole is made up of its many parts. The well-known Swiss psychoanalyst, Dr. Carl Jung, coined the term, "Synchronicity", for life within the horoscope. Under that concept, the Rising sign represents the beginning of the natal chart as birth represents the beginning of life--the first part of synchronization. Like the horoscope, life is also a circle whose whole is made up of its many parts. Unlike the familiar TV beer commercial, however, we DO "Go around" more than once, and it CAN "Get better than this".
Astrology, by way of the horoscope, symbolically divides life into twelve general areas called houses. There is a sign of the Zodiac upon the cusp (beginning) of each house. Your rising sign (Ascendant) is on the cusp of your first house, and signs upon the rest of the houses are determined progressively from that sign which was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact time and place of your birth. This makes your horoscope as individual and unique to your personal identity as are your fingerprints.
Some astrologers refer to the interpretation of the rising sign as the Mask we show the world--our public image. It is that part of our personality that we feel safe in allowing others to see. It may also disguise those facets of ourselves that we would prefer to keep to ourselves. Consequently, the delineation of influences from your rising sign could very well be descriptions of the way other people see you, though not necessarily the way you see yourself. It is certainly not the whole you or the ONLY you, but it could provide you with a valuable source of insight for enhancing your own self-awareness.
As you read the delineations of your chart, remember we are painting a composite portrait of your personality as revealed by the most prominent astrological influences in force at the moment of your birth. However, for each year of your life, the Sun has touched each point in your chart again. The Moon does this every twenty-eight days: Saturn, every twenty-eight to thirty-one years--and so with all the planets and parts within their own time circle. The ways in which you have dealt with the stresses and supports of your birth imprints and the subsequent aspects applied to your circle of life up to now will help to explain the person you are today.
Some delineations of specific aspects may appear to contradict others in your chart. Actually, there are no contradictions in Astrology--at least no more than there are in the human psyche. We are seeking a blend. It is in the interpretation of the whole chart and its application to the circle of your life that we begin to appreciate Dr. Jung's word, "Synchronicity".
Directly following your Rising sign we will interpret the influences of the signs on the houses (two through twelve) in your Natal chart. These signs are a natural progression from the Ascendant according to the house system used. We use the "Placidus" house system in our work. With this system some houses could enclose a complete sign, and there could be the same sign on two houses, but since it allows for the curvature of the earth, we believe it places the coordinates most accurately to the east and west in both hemispheres.
CANCER RISING
Since the person with Cancer rising is ruled by emotions, the moody, changeable quality of this rising sign is apparent to everyone around. When in control of his or her emotions, this native is the most understanding, sensitive person you could hope to find--and, if not in control, the most miserable.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which influences not only the emotional quality, the feelings, and the sensitivity, but the mothering urges and protective instincts. Another characteristic is talkativeness, with an emotional quality coming through loud and clear. Cancer is a water sign and the tears come easily; natives also like to bathe and be by bodies of water. The sign is in the Cardinal mode, bestowing initiative and a need for recognition.
You appear gentle and soft, and you act rather reserved with others until you know them well and feel it is safe to be open with them. You have a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and are deeply attached to the past: your heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moving away from what is known and safe can be very painful and difficult for you. You tend to hold on to people and memories, as well as possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to you.
Others see you as extremely caring. It makes no difference whether you are male or female, you are the Earth Mother. You ARE caring and nurturing. If you lack children of your own, you will find surrogate children or pets on which to bestow your maternal instincts. You are strongly attached to family and family traditions. In your professional life you will naturally gravitate toward the people helping people activities--doctor, nurse, counselor, social worker, etc.
Perhaps your greatest handicap in your work is your inability to accept criticism. Others may hesitate to make suggestions to you for you hate having your judgment challenged or your routine interrupted or intercepted. This comes from your strongly emotional relating of all things around you to the self. You need to learn to separate your self identity from those things you and others do or say, and learn not to take everything so personally.
Others see you as a "softy". You are extremely sentimental and you are likely to enjoy romantic reading, movies and "Soap Opera" types of drama. Your emotions respond readily to outside stimulation, as well as to your instinctive and intuitive messages. You can be somewhat like a sponge, picking up on the feelings of those around you. You need to always be alert to this faculty and not allow yourself to respond to negative influences. For this reason you need to pick your associates carefully, surrounding yourself with positive, self-actuated types. Your magnetic personality will draw all types to you, many of whom will be those weaker ones who may rip-off your energy.
Your pride can become so easily hurt and the hurt so well hidden that those closest to you may not even know it. To others, you can appear especially touchy, bitter and resentful, retreating into your shell to keep everyone away. When this happens, you are likely to begin to overeat and overdrink--to overindulge yourself in a manner which makes it more difficult to deal with your emotions, and to the point where you become physically sluggish. You may try to satisfy your oral needs by putting snacks, candy, gum, cigarettes, food, and drinks in your mouth constantly. You may also try to oversleep and to avoid exercise during these times.
The important consideration here is, this is the way for you to grow. These periods are normal in the life process of the person that is YOU. Be aware of this and get in touch with your natural timing of these cycles--watch your movements, analyze the state you are in, and understand why you are acting the way you are. Try to break the pattern earlier each time by taking positive action in physical and health matters. Get out of your self by nurturing others, which is the most natural way for you to start smiling again.
LEO ON 2ND HOUSE--The Sun rules Leo, and the second house deals with money, worth and finances. Leo on the cusp makes the Sun's position vital to how your money is earned. You are likely to be the major wage earner all your life. In addition to salary, it could be in the form of residuals, commissions, and dividends. There is also the possibility of inheritance.
VIRGO ON 3RD HOUSE--Mercury, the planet of communications, is the ruler of Virgo. This sign on the cusp of the third house (the thinking mind, communications, study, travel, and writing) almost guarantees that writing or communications in general will be strongly emphasized in your personality. There is a need to talk, discuss things, and to read and learn. Study and learning comes easy. You have analytical and critical ability which can modify your emotional reactions when you allow it to. The list of poets and writers with this configuration is endless.
LIBRA ON 4TH HOUSE--The fourth house relates to the home life and relationship with the parent of the opposite sex. Libra on the cusp is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, art, social matters, and ease of living. This position indicates that the most difficult time of your life, emotionally, is during childhood. You are almost sure to provide a pleasant, comfortable, and attractive home life for yourself and your own family.
SCORPIO ON 5TH HOUSE--The fifth house deals with love-sex, children, entertainment, and speculation. Scorpio on the cusp is ruled by Pluto, the planet of extremes and regeneration. You are likely to have a natural desire and need for emotional attachment to very dynamic and charismatic people. There could be disappointments with people you trust, and possible difficulties in your emotional and love life. Your children are likely to be especially magnetic and personable--including the "children" of the mind. You might also like to gamble in some form or another.
CAPRICORN ON 6TH HOUSE--Saturn, planet of limitations and discipline, rules Capricorn, the sign of conservatism. When in the sixth house of work, service, and health, it influences great depth and seriousness to these areas of life. You will be organized in your work, and when you work, you work hard. You will be disciplined in the services you offer. Health problems are likely to center around the knees, skin, or stomach.
CAPRICORN ON 7TH HOUSE--This is the house of marriage and partnership. Capricorn on the cusp is ruled by Saturn, the planet of limitations, responsibility, and discipline. What you are likely to look for in a partnership of any kind is security and stability. You should beware of being over-cautious and judgmental instead of supportive. Capricorn is the "business" sign, indicating that business partnerships could be very successful.
AQUARIUS ON 8TH HOUSE--The eighth house deals with your personal needs and other's resources. The planet Uranus ruling Aquarius on the cusp of your eighth house indicates that your needs may be filled at the very last split second and in an unpredictable manner. You are likely to approach these areas with an abundance of nervous energy, which can be turned into a healing force toward humanity through some kind of "electric" expression. Uranus is called a "higher octave" planet, influencing the instincts and spirituality.
PISCES ON 9TH HOUSE--This house relates to the higher mind, philosophy, internationalism, and publishing. Pisces is ruled by Neptune, planet of vision and inspiration. Pisces on the cusp of the ninth house indicates a person who is very idealistic, who can be inspired by high purpose, vision, and ideals. Your philosophical outlook can balance your emotionalism. You are able to keep in touch with trends of the times, and can be very effective in areas of publishing, publicity, and promotional efforts.
ARIES ON 10TH HOUSE--The tenth house, the Midheaven, is the house of profession, honor, and esteem. Mars, the planet of action, determination, drive, and ambition, rules Aries on your tenth house. This is certainly a strong combination. You want to be "first and best" in career matters, and are likely to achieve your ambitions. You are competitive, energetic, determined, and a fighter. You are likely to be impatient and, on occasion, impulsive. You could receive much recognition and high honors for your accomplishments.
TAURUS ON 11TH HOUSE--This is the house of friends, hopes, and love received. The planet Venus also rules Taurus on the cusp of your eleventh house. Your sentimental nature certainly will extend to friendships and their importance. You will receive much love and affection from friends, and it is your nature to be gracious and warm to them. The configuration indicates a love of social activities with friends, especially for small intimate groups.
CANCER ON 12TH HOUSE--Cancer, emotional sign of the mother, is ruled by the emotional planet Moon. When found in the twelfth house of hidden matters and the subconscious process, emotions are likely to be very vulnerable. Mysterious feelings from the subconscious can make you want to cry without knowing why. You will seek seclusion at times. This configuration can make you very intuitional and psychic.
THE PLANETS: POSITIONS AND ASPECTS
Astrology recognizes ten major "heavenly bodies" in the Universe that radiate various influences toward earth, and thus manifest themselves in the lives and affairs of mankind. The Sun and the Moon influences are most recognizable because some of them are visible and tactile, such as light and heat. They also provide the base for mankind's calculation of time--the calendar and the clock. Influences distributed by the other eight planets may be less visible and more subtle, but not less real.
These emanations are constant, but the intensity of their influences can be tempered by the sign they are in, the house of your chart in which they are located, and by their angular aspects to each other. We touched upon this in the introduction to the Ascendant when we also introduced the term "synchronicity". In the following pages we will print the individual interpretations of each planet in your chart with respect to the sign it is in, and its house position.
Following that we will print the interpretation of the planetary aspects to each other. Aspects are specific angles between two or more planets that have been found to modify the influences bestowed. Technically, every angle between planets creates an aspect, but some angles are more significant than others.
Astrology divides these aspects into "Major" and "Minor" categories. Minor aspects are used primarily in astrological research and for very precisely directed work, so we stick to the Major aspects in our general work. The major aspects are: Conjunction (same degree), Sextile (60 degrees), Square (90 degrees), Trine (120 degrees), and Opposition (180 degrees). Don't worry that some of these individual interpretations may seem to conflict with others. We look at the whole person, and the separate parts can modify, reinforce, or nullify each other.
We have pulled all this data together for you as it is displayed in your birth chart. This whole configuration can not be repeated or duplicated during your lifetime. Although the earth in its rotation around the Sun each year goes through all the twelve sign constellations and returns the Sun to its natal position, it takes Neptune 165 years and Pluto 248 years to complete their orbits. The planets are constantly moving their positions throughout the universe so that it is not possible for all the planetary positions and aspects to repeat themselves in your lifetime.
That leaves it up to us as individuals to deal with those influences imprinted upon us at birth and revealed through the horoscope. It is our hope, through astrology, that we may explain what those influences are and thus understand ourselves better. We have free will to make choices--choices which can affect those birth imprints in positive or negative ways. Probably no one of us will ever fulfill the "promises" of the natal chart in our lifetime, but hopefully, knowing what the influences are could help us to make some better choices.
PLANETARY SIGN AND HOUSE POSITIONS:
The following planetary sign and house positions are determined by YOUR birth data. There are 384 variations of these positions, as well as many other variables, but only 25 of them apply to each individual. The possibility of another person having the same combination of positions is practically non-existent.
The Sun and the Moon are known as the "Lights" and are not planets in the technical sense of the word. However, they are the most visible and perhaps more influential in affecting man's awareness than all of the other heavenly bodies put together. The blend of the Sun-Moon influences, from the signs they are in, and whether they are in aspect or not, are extremely significant to the personality profile of the new life. The relationship of the Sun and Moon to each other by their position, sign, and aspect and their relationship to the Ascendant can sometimes provide us with an extremely accurate mini-interpretation of the chart. The interpretation of your Sun-Moon combination is printed next. Study it carefully--as well as the next three Sun and Moon sign delineations.
SCORPIO SUN AND LEO MOON--Scorpio is a Water sign in the Fixed mode. Leo is a Fixed Fire sign. The Sun is ruler of Leo, Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, and the signs are square to each other. There is a fixity of opinions, a fixity of emotions, and a strength of purpose, making it difficult for you to adapt to a world less disciplined. You may expect too much from others, and depend too little upon your own resources. Imagined low Self-worth is the culprit, and you will need to develop self-confidence by setting realistic goals and expecting less help from others. You need to broaden your service to yourself; to set personal goals and adhere to them. You really can finish what you start. You are extremely loyal to family, especially children. You need to watch out for over dramatizing everything. Learn to relax and allow the rest of the world to flow at its own pace, and learn to flow with it.
SUN IN THE FOURTH HOUSE--The Sun in the houses represents the departments of life most strongly affected by the individual will and power potential. In the fourth house, it indicates a strong interest in establishing a secure home and family. You are proud of your family heritage, and may tend to have an aristocratic outlook. You want your home to be a showplace of art, beauty, and opulence--limited only by the extent of your wealth and social class. The early part of your life may be an uphill pull, but you are likely to achieve your security and prosperity toward the end of your life. You are likely to have a strong interest in land, houses, ecology, and the natural resources. You may want to dominate your domestic scene, and you need to watch for a tendency to unreasonable family pride.
MOON IN LEO--In mythology the Moon is always female--as the Sun is always male. In most ancient religions and cults, the Moon represents the female force which reflects the male force of the Sun. In astrology, "she" bestows her indiscriminative influences upon both male and female alike, though each sex might respond to the influences in different ways. The Moon in the signs indicates the emotional responses to life's situations. It determines how you are likely to react to external influences and to the actions of others.
In Leo it indicates an emotionally proud individual with a flair for drama. You have an unconscious need to be admired and appreciated--and a conscious need for romance and affection. Your need to love and be loved is a healthy emotional drive which motivates you to continued self awareness and self-improvement efforts. You may occasionally have doubts about your own self worth, often interspersed with feelings of invincible superiority. It is the latter side that you are likely to show the public in order to protect your emotional vulnerability.
You are extremely romantic and sexual, and intimate relationships are essential to your feeling of well-being. You love challenge, and the thrill of the chase could be more exciting than capturing the quarry. You are likely to place the love object upon a pedestal to admire and worship. You can be extremely loving and self-sacrificing in romantic relationships, but heaven help the partner who should fail to show appreciation. If a relationship should become stale and routine, you are likely to seek a new conquest.
You are fussy about your appearance, and are likely to dress on the edge of avant-garde. Bright colors will appeal to you, as will sunshiny days. You like to feel bright, enthusiastic and up-beat. If you have a down day, you are likely to hide away and "lick your wounds". It would be advisable to avoid alcohol and other drugs to elevate your mood--they could prove to be too effective, with the risk of addiction.
You are ambitious and have big dreams. Leadership roles come easy to you, and you do make a good boss. You are friendly, likeable, and do not fear the limelight. You may change jobs often, for the grass will always look a little greener on the other side of the fence. Your greatest goals may not be achieved because the glow and grandeur of gargantuan dreams could not sustain sufficient urgency for their fulfillment.
You may dramatize your feelings and appear self-centered, but you are a sucker for flattery. A little praise will make your day. You will want your home to be a show place, you are well-groomed, and you want your family to be at their best. Also, you do need to watch for tendencies toward inconsistency and stubbornness.
MOON IN THE SECOND HOUSE--The Moon in the houses indicates the areas of daily activity through which your feelings are manifested, and gives clues to the type of activity on the domestic scene. Second House position indicates that your general emotional well-being is dependent upon material comfort. It indicates a strong need for monetary security to establish a stable home and family situation. You probably have good business ability in matters dealing with food, home and real estate. You need to watch out for tendencies toward unreasonable possessiveness and jealousy.
MERCURY IN SCORPIO--Mercury in the signs gives clues to the kinds of concerns that occupy your mind, and reveals your psychological approach to making decisions and conveying your ideas to others. In Scorpio it gives you an intuitive mind capable of profound insights. You see things accurately, but not necessarily charitably. You may use sharp language, but you will "call a spade a spade", and will not mince words. If you cannot express yourself openly, you will remain silent. You have much resourcefulness and great determination of mind, and can surmount obstacles that many would not attempt. Watch out for preoccupation with sex and distrust for other people.
MERCURY IN THE FOURTH HOUSE--Mercury in the houses deals with the practical affairs that occupy your mind, and shows what areas of activity will be influenced by your thoughts and communications. The fourth house position indicates that much of your thinking and learning will happen in your home. Even your business may be conducted from the home, as that is where the practical side of your mind is likely to be the most effective. You may collect a large home library as your intellectual pursuits will be many. Your desire to constantly improve on your intellectual environment may cause you to move often, possibly in mobile homes or trailers. Your communications center will revolve around your telephone, but you may choose a nomadic type of life.
VENUS IN VIRGO--Venus in the signs indicates how you express your emotions in personal relationships, and influences your attitude toward material things, creature comforts, and your social and aesthetic values. When it is found in the sign Virgo, you are likely to over-analyze emotions and be very critical of those you love. Be careful lest you set your standards too high and wind up living alone. You may be fastidious about your personal appearance, manners, and hygiene, which could be a cover-up for shyness and feelings of social and sexual inferiority. You may concentrate your efforts in Venus affairs into a primary professional life, in which you are likely to be very successful in accumulating material comforts. You are nurturing by nature and could be very effective in the human services professions. Beware of the tendencies to over-compensate for feelings of inferiority by seeking the bohemian lifestyle of loose living and promiscuity.
VENUS IN THE SECOND HOUSE--Venus in the houses gives us information about how you may express yourself socially, romantically, and artistically in the various areas of your life. In the second house, a love of wealth, beautiful possessions, art objects, and personal adornments--in general, all the things that money can buy--is natural to you. You seek wealth in order to achieve social status, and may also look for marriage partners to provide the material comforts you desire. You are likely to have talents in businesses related to the arts, and could make money from artistic endeavors. You like to spend money, and, if male, you will be especially extravagant to impress women friends. You need to learn the true value of money.
MARS IN CAPRICORN--Mars in the signs indicates how desire affects your modes of action and through what types of expression action will be taken. In Capricorn it channels great energy into professional ambition. Your actions are likely to be well organized and carefully calculated to achieve professional success. You will have an intense desire for status and recognition, and can be extremely materialistic. Capricorn provides the most practical and effective use of the Mars energy--you need practical reasons for everything you do, so the energy you use is usually highly effective. You are likely to possess extraordinary self control and discipline. You have no sympathy for laziness and lack of ambition and you take pride in doing a job correctly. You need to balance your materialistic desires with understanding of human values and the consideration of others, lest you appear selfish, cold and calculating.
MARS IN THE SIXTH HOUSE--Mars in the houses indicates the departments of life in which you express your actions and desires. It shows where you need to use your energy and initiative to achieve the best results. In the sixth house it indicates energy and skill expressed through work. You are likely to have extremely good mechanical ability as well as an excellent understanding of how mechanical things work. This includes the mechanics of the human body, as many great surgeons have Mars in the sixth house. If you work for others, it will be extremely necessary for it to be a well-organized, efficient operation. Beware of perfectionism and overconcern for details--also for the tendency to overwork.
JUPITER IN VIRGO--Jupiter in the signs indicates your ethical, religious, and philosophical standards and beliefs, and how you may express these interests. In the sign Virgo, it instills a cautious, analytical view of things. You will focus on the materialistic with prudence and discrimination. You will have a passion for details, and will need to practice looking at the broader picture. Honesty and integrity are the foundations of your nature and you will demand cleanliness and order in your activities. Your religious and philosophical interests will find their strongest expression in service to others, but high ideals will not fly unless they have a practical application. Avoid making moral decisions for others and trying to be all things to all people. Don't promise more than you can deliver.
JUPITER IN THE SECOND HOUSE--Jupiter in the houses indicates the departments of life and the types of activity through which you express your religious, philosophic, and educational ideas. In the second house, it can give you substantial business ability and good fortune regarding money and property. You are interested in psychology, education, travel, and publishing. You could express those interests by engaging in businesses related to real estate, domestic products, food, hospitals, and other institutions. Beware of over-extending yourself and taking too much for granted.
SATURN IN ARIES--Saturn in the signs indicates the areas in which you must accept responsibility and the ways in which you must practice discipline and develop maturity. In Aries, it gives you determination, ambition, and a tremendous drive for success. You may be forced to develop your own resources, and, in so doing, you develop a strong will and strength of character. You will not like opposition and will be prone to anger easily. You will have a tendency to "go it on your own". There is likely to be jealousy in partnerships, which can also cause difficulties in marriage. You will need to cultivate and practice the discipline of Saturn to counter the impulsiveness of Aries.
SATURN IN THE NINTH HOUSE--Saturn in the houses indicates the areas of life in which we must learn to act with discipline and to express practical ambition through maturity.

URANUS IN VIRGO--Uranus in the signs indicates the ways in which you express your urge for freedom and individuality, and how you establish your link with the Universal Mind. In Virgo, it gives you a mind that is subtle, independent, and original. You are quiet, but could be stubborn and curious to the point of eccentricity. You seem to naturally know how things work, and are especially attracted to the occult for your link with the Universal Mind. You can be successful in the fields of health, science, and technology. Beware of erratic health problems, paying special attention to diet and mental control of bodily functions.
URANUS IN THE THIRD HOUSE--Uranus in the houses indicates the types of activities through which you express your urge toward freedom and individuality. In the third house, brothers, sisters, friends, and neighbors are involved. Your mind is curious and unconventional, and is likely to be reflected by those around you. Collectively, you will pursue interests in the unusual, such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, or spiritual healing. You may have sudden insights which can develop into inventions and creative technology. Beware of jumping to conclusions and impulsive changing of opinions.
NEPTUNE IN SCORPIO--Neptune in the signs manifests more historical and generational influences than personal. It indicates the kind of cultural expression shown by the imaginative and creative faculties of mankind over a given period of time. Your personal responses to Neptune in Scorpio are likely to be in sexual areas and psychological areas of escape. Drug abuse is strongly indicated, and spiritual regeneration will be forced upon you.
NEPTUNE IN THE FOURTH HOUSE--Neptune in the houses indicates how you express your mystical potential, and may reveal some of the karma produced by your past actions. In the fourth house the focus is on the domestic scene. You like to live close to nature (especially, close to a body of water) and have some of the same kind of feelings toward your family as toward the earth. These are strong unconscious ties and are related to your karma. One of your parents is/was probably very psychic. Family secrets and mysteries regarding your home life are likely. You want to mother the world, so that you actually have an extended family and feel strong emotional ties to all those recognized as "family". Beware of tendencies to over-protectiveness and isolation of family from the real world. Avoid alcohol and drugs.
PLUTO IN VIRGO--Pluto in the signs is also historical and generational, but on the personal level it indicates permanent change. In Virgo it deals with work, health, and practical application of technology. The areas of sex, drugs, and health are indicated as most likely areas for permanent change in your life.

Your verbal and non-verbal communications will be very strong with Pluto here, and you need to be careful to say what you mean and mean what you say, for you do influence others. Guard against scheming and plotting, and undue secretiveness, as well as alcohol and drugs. Avoid negative forms of cultism.
PLANETARY ASPECTS:
Following are the interpretations of the planetary aspects to each other. Aspects are angular relationships between two or more planets that have been found to modify the influences bestowed. Significant angles are: Conjunction (same degree), Sextile (60 degrees), Square (90 degrees), Trine (120 degrees), and Opposition (180 degrees). Don't worry that some of these individual interpretations seem to conflict. Remember--we look at the whole person, and the separate parts can modify, reinforce, or nullify each other.
SUN CONJUNCT MERCURY--This conjunction gives energy and willpower to thoughts. You have lots of mental stamina and creativity in ideas, work, and friendships. You are likely to enforce your ideas and decisions with willpower. The risk here, with all this mental power, is objectivity. It is difficult to see yourself as others see you, and your personal self-conception makes it difficult to differentiate between mind and ego. You need to practice getting self out of the way (ego) and letting your energetic mind solve the problems and make the decisions.
SUN OPPOSITE THE NORTH NODE--This configuration can indicate that major circumstances in your environment could deny you opportunities and inhibit your resources for self-expression. Obstacles could be thrown in your path, making achievement of your desires difficult, especially limiting your leadership and power potential. The karma here, is that you learn what it is like to be thwarted by the actions of others.
SUN SQUARE THE ASCENDANT--This square can create conflict between your individuality and the way you present yourself to the world. It can also set up a conflict between your spiritual consciousness and the expression of your physical personality. You probably plunge into action precipitously. You need to learn to trust your intuition, time your actions, avoid tendencies to dominate others, and concentrate upon clear communications.
SUN SEXTILE MARS--This sextile confers courage and energy, which, combined with its mental nature, supports intelligent and constructive enterprise. It gives you the ability to initiate projects and follow through. You are a good leader and communicate well with friends, associates, and groups. You have strong willpower and are a champion of justice. You are decisive and energetic in achieving your objectives.
SUN SEXTILE JUPITER--This aspect bestows an optimistic and generous nature. You are charitable to those in need, and are likely to be philosophical about it. You have good mental abilities as well as spiritual sensitivity. You seem to be "protected from all harm" and lead a charmed life. You are likely to accomplish your goals because of your optimism and self-confidence, and your insight into constructive ways to overcome difficulties. You will like to travel and understand other cultures.
MOON CONJUNCT JUPITER--This conjunction gives you capacity for great sympathy and generosity, and you wish to bring good to others. Your karma is especially tuned to social welfare of the less fortunate. You are likely to have deep emotional yearnings for psychic fulfillment and seek out people to share them with. Beware of false and negative occult sects and psychic influences, since you will be emotionally vulnerable. Seek positive spiritual guidance and you will know what is right for you. Avoid self-indulgence in food and drink. Allow the Moon-ruled ethereal body to absorb Jupiterian expansiveness and apply to your emotional and physical well-being.
MOON SQUARE NEPTUNE--Some of the obstacles produced by this square include confusion, unreasonable fantasies, muddled home life, and a lack of grip on reality. It can indicate emotional indulgence with the risk of addiction to alcohol and drugs. There can be mediumistic tendencies with which you need to be extremely careful, always seeking appropriate spiritual guidance. The message here is to practice getting self out of the way and focus on doing good for others. Seek true spiritual guidance through prayer and meditation.
MOON TRINE THE NORTH NODE--This configuration helps you keep in tune with prevailing social trends and attitudes. You are able to take advantage of changing popular beliefs by instinctively reacting harmoniously.
MERCURY SEXTILE VENUS--This sextile gives grace and skill to thoughts, speech and writing. Literary talent, often poetry, is likely. You probably have a very pleasant voice, and may have a talent for singing. Many composers and songwriters have this aspect. You should have a calm disposition, but serenity often comes only with discipline.
VENUS CONJUNCT PLUTO--This aspect can give you a great capacity for regeneration and a spiritual love which will uplift all who comes in contact with you. It signifies strong passionate and karmic emotional involvement, great love of life, and often fervent attractions to members of the opposite sex. A spiritual lesson is to be learned here: that love must be spiritually directed to the Eternal, which lives beyond emotional death and rebirth. The aspect reinforces artistic talent and creativity and the potency to express it in whatever ways you choose.
MARS SQUARE SATURN--Squares create obstacles, and this one can temporarily block ambitions, cause resentments, and bring out selfish tendencies in those who have it in their charts. It could manifest itself in physical hardships, accidents, violence, and broken bones. You need to be especially careful regarding physically dangerous risks, and, also extremely patient in partnerships and marital relationships. Be wary of occupational hazards, but avoid tendencies to drop things before their conclusion. You may experience repressed anger, which causes you to appear harsh and austere in your disposition.
MARS SQUARE URANUS--This aspect can cause recklessness and dangerous sudden action. You could easily be too impulsive for your own good. The square indicates willfulness and eccentricity, and you need to cultivate patience and practice willingness to cooperate with others. You are idealistic and want to improve on the status quo, but have impulses toward drastic means to overthrow the established order of things. You crave excitement and can be encouraged to take risks to create unusual experiences. This aspect can be dramatically reinforced by excessive use of alcohol or other drugs. Patience and tolerance are the lessons to be learned here.
MARS TRINE JUPITER--This trine gives the supportive action of Mars to the expansive philosophic and humanitarian influences of Jupiter. You will act upon your beliefs in a big way, whether religious, philanthropic, or psychic (or all three). You are enthusiastic and practical, and will gain understanding and wisdom through positive action. You will be interested in humanitarian causes, and will practice what you preach. Your enthusiasm will attract the kinds of friends you will need to support your humanitarian efforts. This aspect indicates good karma already worked out.
MARS TRINE NODE-- This configuration bestows social harmony with accepted modes of behavior. You are likely to be popular and to have the energy to deal with social trends and institutions. You are able to time your actions so that they will be in harmony with the trends of the times.
JUPITER TRINE NODE--This configuration indicates your moral and spiritual values are traditional enough that you are not likely to find conflict with the status quo; though, if you do, you will quietly go your own way.
URANUS CONJUNCT PLUTO--This is a generational aspect which occurs about every one hundred and fifteen years. It encourages deep evaluation of spiritual and philosophical values and can inspire rebellion and restructuring of the "establishment". On a more personal level it indicates a questioning of one's values and a lifetime of efforts toward regeneration.
URANUS SEXTILE NEPTUNE--This is a generational aspect, since the slow moving planets stay in orb for a long time. The influences here can enable you to develop and expand upon spiritual consciousness, and to visualize and work toward a utopian life. You will have a strong affinity for the occult and are likely to advance in mystical subjects. There is the possibility that you will write books on occult subjects. Interest in Astrology is indicated. You are likely to have a highly developed aptitude for spiritual leadership, but seek positive direction.
URANUS SEXTILE THE ASCENDANT--This configuration gives you intuitive ability when interacting with others, helping you gain their cooperation. You can be very original in your self-expression, and can be expected to do and say things out of the ordinary. You could be sought out as an interesting speaker, teacher or disciplinarian.
NEPTUNE TRINE THE ASCENDANT--This trine indicates you have well developed intuition and are likely to be clairvoyant. Your eyes appear at times to have a magnetic quality, and you may seem mysterious and intriguing to others. You are sensitive to life and empathetic to people. You pick up on their moods accurately and it is important that you have rapport with those in personal relationships with you.
NEPTUNE SEXTILE PLUTO--This aspect has more general and historical connotations than personal, but in the personal interpretation it indicates unusual occult, intuitive, scientific, and aesthetic abilities. It could generate sudden and secret changes. You need to concentrate on the positive occult powers.
INTERPRETATION, PERSONALITY PROFILE
Getting together all the information that makes up the face of your chart has primarily been mathematical and scientific--in a word, technical. The computer has used the date, time, and place of your birth to select and print out the interpretations of your Sun-sign, your Rising Sign (Ascendant), the Signs on the Houses, the Signs and Houses the Planets are in, and the aspects of the Planets to each other. These interpretations apply only to YOU.
In interpreting the total Personality Profile, however, we must add two more dimensions to the technical: "Symbolism" and "Intuition". These operate mainly from our subconscious mind. Allow your intuition full play as you carefully study the face of the chart and allow its symbolism to "speak" to you. Often the chart can provide a key which opens the subconscious. If you don't consciously "feel" anything, don't worry about it. Just allow the full power of your intuition to apply, and keep your mind as open as you possibly can.
Now go back and read the printouts again: all the way from the Sun-sign through the aspects of Pluto. Try not to reject any statement--not those you dislike, or even those you like. Note any statement which you strongly agree or disagree with, and mark it for later study. Then add all statements which seem to contradict each other to the list. When you study the "contradictive" statements, try to determine if any of them might apply to you at a different time, or in a different place. Then consider if the pair could modify each other and produce an interpretation that does apply to you.
Astrology is not judgmental--it just IS. It doesn't tell us what is "good" or "bad", it only tells us what the influences are. We give the most optimistic and positive interpretation to that information that we possibly can. However, it has been our experience that often the most valuable information we can get from a chart is the awareness of those obstacles and stresses we need to overcome in order to grow and fulfill our lives according to our own individual value systems.
