The following pages contain a brief evaluation of key elements of your birth chart, although it is by no means complete. Astrology can reveal many things about a person's life and personality, and you could study your chart for a lifetime without knowing the answers to all of your questions. The descriptions that follow will give you a "thumbnail" introduction to yourself through astrology.

In interpreting your chart, this report considers the sign of the planets and the north node in your chart, as well as their house placements. It also describes the sign of the Ascendant and the strongest aspects between the planets.

You may note that some of the following descriptions appear to contradict each other--and indeed we are all walking bundles of contradiction. If you examine yourself carefully, you will probably realize that you do in fact possess the qualities of both conflicting descriptions. Even though some parts of the reading may seem to clash, you will see that certain themes are repeated throughout the following pages. These are the ones that will become major issues in your life.

The readings stress that you are the ultimate decider of your fate. The stars may indicate the hand you were dealt at birth, but it is up to you to play that hand well enough to achieve your goals. Also, bear in mind that every "bad" aspect of a chart also has a "good" side. How it is expressed is really up to you. We tend to work at expressing ourselves more positively most of the time and only lapse into the negative behavior described when depressed, angry or scared. Or it is possible that some aspects may better describe your personality or behavior earlier in life. They may seem alien now because you have already worked through them.

A "Strength" number precedes each aspect description; this number takes into account how exact the aspect is, whether the aspect is a major or minor one, and whether an aspecting planet is close to one of the four chart angles. The higher the Strength, the more you are likely to feel the aspect and to act it out in your life.

Natives of this sign are known as "moonchildren," and their wildly fluctuating moods seem to coincide with the phases of the moon. As with all water signs, there is a tremendous depth of emotion with Cancer. In times of sadness or despair, you may retreat into solitude just as a crab retreats into its shell. At other times, you can display another trait of your namesake--crabbiness.

Cancer has a natural desire to understand its emotional make- up. You engage in self-directed psychoanalysis, striving to feel every detail of life. This is Cancer's purpose in life--to learn to love, trust and accept all that life offers. No sign feels so intensely as Cancer, although this may not be obvious to others. You may set up defenses against being hurt, such as shyness or reclusiveness.

You have a strong need for security, and a comfortable home environment is of utmost importance to you. The security you seek can be found in the knowledge that you are unconditionally loved. You also like to surround yourself with mementos and other reminders of your past. You use your resources wisely, knowing that to waste not is to want not. Like other water signs, Cancer can be manipulative. You never go directly for something (or someone) you want, but once you have it, you will never let it go. Cancer can exercise artful control of feelings--his or her own or those of others. The Moonchild truly needs to be needed, and can provide loads of nurturing and mothering in return.

The threat of becoming emotionally vulnerable in relationships can dissuade Cancers from falling in love. But once they make the big leap, they become very protective of their loved ones. But be careful not to become a "clinging vine" in relationships. Anyone who is strongly independent would feel smothered by your love and would try to break free.

You can be very secretive, and few people will ever witness an outpouring of your deepest, darkest feelings. Yet others will unload their secrets on you and seek your compassion and understanding. You may even have a talent for healing or a green thumb with plants.

Physically, Cancers are more vulnerable to injuries or illness in the chest region, the head and face, knees, and skin. Other trouble spots are the stomach, digestive system, kidneys, and bladder. A strong sense of optimism will do wonders for their health.

Persons with this moon placement know their own emotional make-up very well and are able to make required adjustments in life quite easily. They have a strong sense of direction in life and set high goals for themselves. Others are continually amazed as they set seemingly impossible goals for themselves and then go on to achieve them. The only danger is that they will become ruthless in their pursuit of success and reach the top with no friends to congratulate them.

Although they are good at combining business with pleasure, when the chips are down business always wins out. Lunar Sagittarians are eternally optimistic, even when they should be exercising caution instead. They are often dedicated to philosophical causes and may even participate in non-political revolutionary practices at home or in the office. They want to make a difference--to influence the lives of others.

Gambling is a potential problem with this Moon placement, and this is partially a result of overoptimism. Natives may believe that they simply cannot lose and therefore take unconsidered risks. Although they feel very lucky, they actually are not.

Romantically, persons with Moon in Sagittarius are great companions to their mates. They need more than just sexual fulfillment from their partners--they require romance and spirituality. If it is necessary to terminate a relationship, they do so quickly and cleanly without looking back. They know something better is waiting just around the next corner.

You have an intuitive mind and at times can pick up other people's feelings psychically. You are very sympathetic to the needs of others and will find yourself worrying about the problems of loved ones or of the world in general. Mercury in Cancer also gives you an appreciation for your home and family, and especially for children.

It is difficult for you to separate your thoughts from your emotions, and this is one of the challenges you face in life. You spend a good deal of time thinking and talking about yourself. Don't allow yourself to get so caught up in depression and despair in a seemingly hopeless situation that you are unable to take appropriate action to solve your problems.

You are easily impressed by everything you pick up through your senses (sights, sounds and smells) and overreact to great ugliness or beauty. This extreme sensitivity to the world around you can be creatively channeled through art or other creative activities. Since you have such a strong need to be needed, you depend on compliments and praise from others to raise your spirits.

You value your privacy and share your innermost feelings with very few people. Once you choose a lover, you are very devoted and loyal. You need little more in life than someone to love and a comfortable home. Indeed, you tend to be more of a "home body" than a socialite, and you need a partner who has similar preferences.

This is a rather difficult placement for Venus, since it indicates that you have some karmic lessons to learn around giving unconditional love and accepting loved ones as they are. The tendency with this placement is to become overly critical and to nit-pick at minor details. The more you learn to serve others selflessly, the quicker you will overcome this tendency.

Because you are so fastidious and pay close attention to detail, you would do well in a career which calls for thoroughness and organization. Your home is likely to be quite orderly, and you will expect others to respect your preference in this regard. You like to dress neatly and strive to make a good impression on those you meet.

You are a very careful and meticulous lover and need surroundings and atmosphere in love and sex that are comfortable. Although you are somewhat slow to arouse sexually, you go out of your way to please your lover. In your lover you appreciate superior technique, sensitivity and attention to detail.

Personal cleanliness is important to you, and you probably enjoy taking showers with your lover. You can be somewhat picky and critical of your partner, although it is sincerely done with the intention of helping them. Sexual tools can be fun for you if you will allow yourself to be so bold and spontaneous.

With Mars in Libra, you prefer peaceful social exchange rather than hot-tempered disputes. Yet, you also seek constant balance by arguing both sides of any situation. In an effort to survive in a world that is often less than peaceful, you must develop the art of negotiation and compromise. You are a natural at working in harmony with a team toward a common goal.

Since you are quite charming, you can often persuade others to see your side without having to resort to argument. You are highly intuitive and seem to know just how to "hook" people with your charm. Although you really don't want to manipulate or control anyone, all is fair in love and war.

You seek a certain amount of refinement and social grace in your partner. Appearances are important to you, and you are concerned about what others think of you. It is likely that your partner will be physically attractive as well as poised and tactful. You are very attentive and will go to extreme lengths to please your partner.

You often instigate change in your relationships and become bored quickly with any that become static. Just be sure that you do not provoke change just for the sake of change; learn to recognize which elements of your relationship should be preserved and which should be thrown out. It is important to you that any relationship you have maintain a quality of fairness.

You are generous and compassionate, and you are generally happy and optimistic about life. With your talent for organization, you would make a capable leader or executive. With your flair for drama, you are a natural actor, whether on stage or in real life. You seek admiration and respect from others, and if Jupiter is afflicted you may have a tendency to become egotistical. Traditionally, this placement of Jupiter indicates that you will have at least one successful child with whom you are very close.

Success and material wealth give you a sense of security, and you will work hard for what you want, but you sometimes lack the caution and patience to see your plans through to a successful conclusion. One of your greatest challenges in life will be to develop self-discipline and patience with others. You need to develop a keener sense of timing and an ability to wait for the right moment rather than charging forward with enthusiasm. You are an independent individual, and you value your freedom highly.

You have a sharp, analytical mind, and you will use it to find workable solutions to the many ills of society. You are interested in alternative forms of healing, such as psychic healing and herbal treatments. Since you are cautious by nature, you will think through all your ideas thoroughly to be sure no details are overlooked. One of your challenges is to learn to listen to your intuition rather than just your rational mind.

You are driven to uncover the deepest secrets within society, and you have a keen interest in metaphysical sciences. With your strong desire for physical pleasures, you must avoid overindulging in food, drink, sex or drugs in an attempt to escape the tension of daily life.

Your generation saw the birth of social reforms, such as free medical clinics and food banks. Chemicals also became popular, and many miracle drugs were discovered. There was also renewed interest in organic health foods, vitamins and herbal remedies. You have a strong desire to achieve perfection. Avoid being too critical of yourself or others.

You are a person of deep emotions--you do not love (or hate) someone superficially; you love to the depths of your soul. At times the intensity of your emotions can cause you to act impulsively and then regret it later. This has been a problem for you since you were a child.

This aspect also indicates that throughout your life you have had strong ties to your past which you have had difficulty breaking. You may hold grudges or ill will toward those who have slighted you in the past. This will only harm you, however, since they have probably forgotten the incident altogether. You can tend to be pessimistic, so be sure to make a special effort to think positively. Your feelings are very powerful, so be careful how you use them.

You are rather demanding in your relationships, and this can make others feel as though they cannot possibly love you enough. Don't expect everyone to be capable of your depth of feeling. Learn to accept and love others as they are at the level at which they are comfortable. This will result in fewer disappointments in romance. You would enjoy your most successful relationships with others who are capable of your depth of feeling.

For the most part you will be a loner, even as a child. You have a lot to learn about human nature; you begin life's social lessons very young--perhaps you even feel your parents rejected you in some way. After suffering many disappointments, you may be tempted to turn bitter and defensive. The real test of this aspect is to resist falling into that trap (probably one carried over from past lives).

Make an effort to be more tender and loving, and be willing to be vulnerable now and then--only be sure it is with someone you absolutely trust (another difficult thing for you to master). Be sure to get proper rest and vacation time. This is imperative for good health. Anxiety has very destructive effects on you physically.

You have a curiosity for and a talent in occult sciences. This is fine as long as you keep all of the power you will uncover in its proper perspective. Do not dabble in black magic or satanism.

Your childhood conditioning inhibits your efforts to exploit your imaginative potential. Your thinking is somewhat traditional, and it may be difficult for you adapt to changing trends and new ideas. Change does not come easy for you because of your inner insecurities, and your opinions can seem rather narrow-minded to others.

You were probably a slow learner in school and resented having to maintain good grades. It's not that you are academically incapable, you are just somewhat lazy mentally. If it takes more than minimal effort to complete a task, you become depressed. This results in lack of enthusiasm in exploring your creative potential. You don't like competition because of your own lack of confidence in your abilities. Try to keep pace with the many changes taking place in the world around you; this is the only way you will make progress.

If you can brush aside the above negative feelings, you can make plans to carry out your ideas. Instead of fearing defeat, be brave enough to accept reality. Instead of moping about how you can't do something, make changes so that you can. Use the lessons of your past to help you in the future instead of dwelling on regrets over "spilt milk." If you can maintain a positive attitude and learn to accept change, you could be successful in education, politics, science, natural resource conservation, government service or architecture.

Be sure you read all the fine print in any legal documents that you sign; you can become quite vengeful if you are crossed. You resent authority on the job and can become very bitter if you are passed over for a promotion you think you deserve. If this should happen to you, look again at yourself and make sure your performance is up to snuff instead of whining over sour grapes. A positive attitude will get you much further in life.

In relationships you may have difficulty communicating your needs to your partner. This is not because you lack verbal skills, but because you are afraid your partner will not approve of your requests. Resist any temptation to nag your lover. Instead, try some constructive criticism--and you need deliver your comments only once.

It is relatively easy for you to learn from the lessons life presents and to use this experience to plan more effectively for the future. It is quite likely that you will succeed in life, primarily because that is your intention. You are careful not to overextend yourself or to commit to obligations which exceed your capabilities. For this reason you establish a reputation for reliability and integrity.

You have a great deal of confidence in yourself and will plan well in order to achieve your goals. You would do well in a career in law, education, religion, finance, counseling (especially children) or physical therapy. With your natural talent for working well with others, you would be very effective in most occupations requiring public contact.

While this aspect gives you the ingredients you will need to succeed, it does not necessarily provide the motivation to take the steps to do so. In fact, this aspect can be expressed as laziness or apathy. The choice is ultimately yours.

If you choose, however, you can be an inspiration to others and act as a catalyst to spur them on to action. You are a good trainer and a "stern taskmaster" to your students, but they learn a great deal from you and highly respect you. Young children are particularly drawn to you, and many will see you as their mentor.

You were born during a time when there was a great deal of unrest among America's youth (in the mid to late 1960s). Our universities were the breeding ground for revolutionary minds, and young adults began crying out against social injustice and corrupt governments. As you mature and come into power, your generation will complete the tasks begun in the late 1960s. Therefore, you and others born during this time period have retained the quality of that time. You are a revolutionary thinker, and you are suspicious of any attempt by organizations or governments to withhold or distort truths in an attempt to control the masses.

Persons with this aspect will insist on living life their way. They will not compromise their values and will not hesitate to loudly voice their opinions. People born during this time become social activists very young and will be quick to demand that their interests be represented in government. Individual rights are very important to members of your generation, and you will not be forced into anything. And you will not hesitate to take on City Hall if you deem it necessary.

In your love life, you may find it easier to relate to those close to your own age, for they will share the perspective of this aspect.

You can be very impulsive emotionally. Your temper is easily sparked, and you can explode at those you love most. You must learn to control your temper, and face the fact that you cannot always have things your way. You may appear emotionally erratic to others.

You are quite talented and could be a good: teacher, politician, writer, or researcher. You are a believer in equal rights and may defy authority when it does not appear to be honoring someone's rights.

You must be willing to meet your partner halfway for marriage to work. You believe that marriage means one partner being dominant over the other. Yet you really need an egalitarian relationship. You must convince yourself that this is possible before you can achieve it.

You can be impatient and impulsive, and therefore may seem "accident prone." You may not have been allowed to assert your will as a child. So you tend to defy authority by rejecting the responsibility that it imposes. You are a rebel at heart.

You are very talented, but you may not be motivated to do anything about it. You tend to start many projects but finish few of them. You learn quickly and then rush on to the next new item.

You are extremely psychic and have the ability to seemingly pick up information out of thin air. As a child you may have been bored by teachers who seemed to be giving you information you already knew. You learn so easily that you find no challenge in it. Therefore, it is difficult to move you to take action.

You will face few challenges in your life that seem insurmountable. Your greatest vice is that of procrastination. You may operate best being self-employed. Then you can operate at your own pace, with no one depending on you to meet their schedules. You would do well in: art, drama, writing, education and research.

You must have mutual trust in your close relationships. Although you are devoted to your mate, you allow him or her a great deal of personal freedom (and it is probably mutual). You would greatly enjoy children and a stable family life.

Freedom is very important to you, and you will go to great lengths to preserve it. This is true not only of personal freedom, but also includes freedom from corrupt power, disease, pollution, unemployment, etc. You are not afraid to work toward causes you believe in and enjoy the feeling that you are contributing something to the betterment of mankind. You know that this takes hard work by everyone and are willing to do your share.

This aspect appears in the charts of persons born during the 1960s. This period in time was one where great attention was being paid to health and environmental issues. You and others born during this time feel a responsibility to work toward improvement in these areas. It is important to you that the legacy you leave for the next generation be a better one.

Although you have a strong need to "do your own thing," you are not selfish in your pursuit of freedom. You believe that everyone is entitled to the liberty you seek and will work to help others realize their own power. The issue of social responsibility will be a prominent one for you. It is up to you whether you will shirk your duties in this area or work to bring about a reversal in the decaying quality of life.

This aspect indicates that you are a warrior at heart. When you encounter conflict, you are not hesitant to meet it head-on. Indeed, you may even look for trouble if it doesn't find you (especially during harsh transits to your Sun or Mars). It is hard for you to take a back seat to anyone; you'd rather run things yourself. Your forcefulness alone will not earn you the right to lead others. A little patience and understanding will earn you the trust every leader needs. Learn to admit that you are not an expert on everything and to ask advice of others, even "underlings."

You could succeed in the fields of teaching, writing, law, medicine and healing, police or military service, or competitive sports. Since you value your own freedom and want to be in control, you would perhaps be happier as your own boss. You have great admiration for those who have accomplished their goals in life. In order to succeed in business, however, you must learn to be a good listener.

If other aspects in your natal chart provide the self-discipline, patience and diplomacy that this aspect lacks, you can learn to consider the consequences of your actions before taking them. Once you can exercise restraint and self-control in your life, you will be able to accomplish a great deal with the creative energy and high ambition of this Sun/Mars combination.

Remember, what you get out of a situation (or a relationship) depends on what you put into it. Before becoming defensive with others, be sure you really understand the situation. Sometimes this aspect operates unconsciously so that instead of picking fights with others, you will draw such behavior to you while denying that you are a catalyst.

You may have only a few friends, but what you lack in number you make up in quality. Your friends (and lovers) must respect themselves in order to earn your respect. You are a loyal friend and would never let down another who is depending on you.

You have a fantastic memory and could use it well in such careers as: management, politics, public relations, law, education, or even engineering. You seek a position of authority and would be very fair with your underlings--as long as they lived up to their part of the deal. You look for a well-developed sense of responsibility in those with whom you work.

You may appear to be conservative to those around you, but the truth is that you have a good amount of common sense. You are not overly cautious, just careful. For this reason you are also very law-abiding. In making decisions you will examine all options carefully before acting.

Friends enjoy your company and the sense of well-being they derive from your emotional stability. This is a quality that can also help children to grow and develop their own stable foundation, and you would be a kind disciplinarian as a parent.

Chances are that your more satisfying love affairs will come later in life after you have reached a height of maturity. You behave responsibly in your relationships and expect the same of your partners.

You have a very active mind and find life exciting. You live life to its fullest, recognizing that everything has its own meaning. In this way you are able to see the positive side of any seemingly "negative" situation. As a result, you are usually optimistic and very rarely give in to depression.

Communication with others is very important to you. You enjoy sharing your life experiences with others and having them share theirs with you. You express your opinion freely and without hesitation and do not feel bound by the normal traditions of society. You delight in being different and unconventional.

In terms of career, you would do well in: politics, law, education, scientific fields, and any other occupation that strives to improve society as a whole. Teaching would also be a good profession for you.

You are very truthful and have no patience with anyone who is not sincere. Your intuition is highly developed, and you utilize it effectively in reaching sound decisions and in judging the character of those you meet.

In your love life, you are understanding and patient. You will not tolerate a lover who lies to you or otherwise seeks to deceive you. It is not difficult for you to break off ties with a long-time friend or lover over the question of honesty. As a matter of fact, you could become suddenly cold and detached if you find out that you have been deceived.

This is the only aspect Neptune has made to Pluto during this century, and the planets will remain in sextile to each other for another hundred years, although the signs the planets occupy will continue to change as time passes.

For those born between 1942 and 1956, Neptune was in Libra and Pluto in Leo. These people were born at a time of global war. Governments rose and fell; kings were ousted from their castles. There were breakthroughs in air power (Neptune in Libra) which helped establish the balance of power between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. This time was filled with meetings and peace conferences between global leaders. Those born during this time know that compromise is not enough to achieve peace; you are naturally suspicious of your leaders, and this will help to promote greater honesty and accountability on the part of political figures.

If you were born between 1957 and 1970, Neptune was in Scorpio and Pluto in Virgo. There were new advances in health and medicine, as well as rapid spread of illegal drugs. Our long- held conservative attitude about sex began to dissolve, and we began to realize that marriage was not essential to maintain a committed relationship. Those born during this time seek to serve and improve society. You are also angry about the current state of our environment and natural resources.

If you were born between 1971 and 1983, Neptune was in Sagittarius and Pluto in Libra. Your attitudes about religion, education and human interactions are most likely different from those of your parents. Your religious beliefs, or spiritual practices, are important to you, and you are deeply concerned for the fate of your planet and the race of man. You will insist that your leaders be straight with you and will not accept excuses or manipulation. You are also interested in occult sciences, and many advances in this area will be made by members of your generation.

If you were born between 1984 and 1998, Neptune was in Capricorn and Pluto in Scorpio. You are part of a generation which will make great progress in dealing with power responsibly, both in terms of interpersonal relationships and as protectors of our Mother Earth. You will seek to transform society and replace rampant injustice with compassionate guidance.

You are optimistic and generous and find it easy to relate to others. In the worst of circumstances you can see the brighter side; your confidence and enthusiasm are infectious to those around you. You refuse to allow your life to remain complicated very long, and therefore solve your day-to-day problems quickly and without panic.

In a career you can be very creative and imaginative, and you would do well in such fields as public relations, civic affairs, social work or physical therapy. You would do well in any position which requires you to travel a great deal or to solve problems for others. You know how to set priorities and get things done. You are well informed on a variety of subjects and are a stimulating conversationalist.

You may find that others seek you out for advice when they need guidance or encouragement. This is because of the good example that you set with your own actions. Those around you are stimulated to develop their own potentials. You take on tasks with enthusiasm and optimism, no matter how burdensome they may seem to others. At the very least, your opinion is highly regarded because you have proven yourself to be a good advisor.

Chances are that you always allow some time to indulge yourself no matter how busy your schedule is. You enjoy working on projects that will benefit others, and this type of work would leave you with a warm sense of accomplishment.

In romance you are attracted to people of good moral character -- someone who is honest and sincere as well as spiritual. You love peace and harmony and need to share your life with another who is so inclined. Tension and pressure in your love life will cause you great distress. Your relationships tend to improve as time passes, and you have a strong devotion to your love.

In your case, the heart rules the head. Your emotional drives are strong and you act primarily on the basis of your feelings. Whether your feelings are purely personal, interpersonal, or transpersonal is up to you, but generally you are a life-oriented person who feels keenly and who acts to support your family, friends, and community. You are happiest when you are in a caring relationship with a significant other. That person should be comfortable with the emotional closeness that you bring to relationships, while providing the structure or inspiration that you need. Some of your friends will not be as comfortable with emotional closeness as you are, and you will have to respect their boundaries. You have probably learned over the years how to keep your sensitive nature from being hurt. Don't permanently withdraw, but find the people with whom and the environment in which you can be yourself.

Because of your sensitivity, you easily pick up others' thoughts and feelings. You can anticipate others' needs before they have expressed them. You can usually rely on your intuition when it comes to forecasting the outcome of personal and career decisions. If you decide to use your psychic abilities for healing, learn to let go of the negative feelings that you process from others. Since you are so sensitive, find quiet moments for private introspection in which you can reconnect with what you feel instead of what others feel. You also find it revitalizing to be around large bodies of water.

You do have a need to stop and think things through before acting. Make the effort to communicate with others who may have a more objective viewpoint or who could see solutions that elude you. You can sometimes be criticized for acting from a purely personal perspective, which you could avoid by learning and respecting society's larger viewpoint. You can be very creative in finding paths to your personal goals. Keep the larger viewpoint in mind and later you will not have to try to rationalize to others why you chose those paths.

You are an active, future-oriented person who is not weighed down by past commitments. You take advantage of new opportunities better than most. Life for you can be a vibrant affair in which you passionately pursue causes, lovers, and experiences. You have the self-confidence to be a leader. Competitive and flamboyant, you have little patience for slow people or unexciting work. When an activity interests you, you can be very generous with your time, energy, and money. Find outlets for your gifts of creativity and intuition.

Watch out for a tendency to exaggerate or to be insensitive to others' feelings. More cautious types may envy and resent your free spirit and competitive nature. You get bored easily and may depend on others to finish the projects that you start. When your warmth is guided by love, wisdom, and positive goals you have the ability to heal and inspire others, but when you focus on your self or lack direction, your short-lived passions can affect others in destructive ways.

Expressing yourself does not come easily to you. You distrust people who are fast, smooth talkers. It may be easier for you to express yourself nonverbally or in writing than it is through speaking. If you also lack planets in the houses of Relationships, you will find the normal avenues of communication and social learning blocked. Your thinking will be personal instead of detached or rational. With the mind's normal communication channels blocked, you learn primarily from experience. Lacking in the ability to view yourself objectively, you gain self-understanding primarily through feedback from others.

Try to see life less personally, in a more objective way. Take classes and never stop educating yourself.

A lack of planets in Air signs can be offset by an Air sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the houses of Relationships.

With an abundance of planets in Mutable signs, you adapt easily to changing circumstances. Mentally quick, you adapt like a chameleon to give each what they want, until you are on to the next friend or interest. Life offers a succession of roles to play. Skilled at diplomacy and compromise, you make a good negotiator and appear to be everyone's friend. You actually are other-oriented, rather than self-oriented, and can be so busy meeting others' needs that you lack direction in your own life. Concentrate on finding friends of true worth and value. Be discriminating in your associations, in whom you choose to help. The endless flow from your mind, tongue, and hands will then work to return real value to you, which is what you deserve. You can probably only follow this advice just so far, though, because more than others the Universe sends you people in need, people for whom you are able to make a real difference. The assistance that you provide to the powerless may actually be remembered long after your facile mental output is forgotten. Your activities can also bring an end to institutions that have outlived their usefulness.

With a lack of planets in Fixed signs, you probably find it difficult to settle down or concentrate on one thing for a long time. You tend to be all over the place. The advantage is that you are able to do many things at once and can move forward with change and growth when desirable. You are a free spirit, not overly weighed down by attachments. You may be daring, brave, and filled with ideas, but you need individuals in your life who can provide the structure and stability that you lack. If necessary, you can force yourself to finish projects through mental discipline and willpower.

A lack of planets in the Fixed signs can be offset by a Fixed sign ascendant or by abundant planets in the Succedent houses.
