John F. Kennedy Jr.'s Astrological
Chart and Interpretation

Introduction
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.
Planets in Signs and Houses
Virgo Ascendant
You are hardworking, practical and have excellent common sense. You are highly efficient in everything you do, and you always strive to do a perfect job. Just be careful not to lapse into the most common habit of Virgo-- being "picky, picky, picky." You would make a good professional critic or analyst, but others do not always enjoy receiving a critical analysis of their life.
Although you are a perfectionist, you are not usually a leader. But you can be depended upon to follow an idea through to completion and see that the best possible job is done. You are very dedicated to your work and are willing to work hard. Yet you can become restless and worrisome and prone to "borrowing trouble." The best job for you would be one through which you can help others.
You believe strongly in your principles and are willing to fight for them if challenged. Personal cleanliness and good diet are important to you, and you can sometimes become a fanatic (or a hypochondriac) in these areas. Your main area of physical weakness is the stomach, even though you may follow a good diet.
Virgo risings can be shy, modest and conservative. They are very sensitive to their environment and to the feelings of others. You want to be rich, but will have to learn to save what you earn. You should avoid drugs.
Physically, people with Virgo rising are generally slender with long legs, arms, feet, hands and fingers--even though they may not be tall. A high forehead is another common characteristic, as well as small, sparkling eyes. Natives are often quite photogenic, with fine hair, a beautiful complexion and nice bone structure.
Sun in Sagittarius
Sagittarians have a strong need for freedom and self-expression. Ruled by Jupiter, the mythological King of the Gods, you love adventure, travel, exploration, flirting, gambling, and--most of all--truth seeking. You are constantly looking for new opportunities to accomplish your goals in life, and for this reason you are not likely to miss much. Just be careful that your optimism does not swell into over- confidence and laziness so that you sit back and do nothing as chances pass you by.
You pursue your personal and professional goals with great vigor, but are quite likely to get distracted along the way when something (or someone) else seems more interesting and challenging. Sagittarians are well known for being socially active--even promiscuous. This is especially true for the men, who take on the womanizing qualities of Jupiter himself. Natives of both sexes are usually attractive and well-dressed, and they have a knack for setting new fashion trends.
In your relationships with others you are frank and honest, sometimes brutally so. It's not that you mean to be, but not everyone can take so much raw truth at one time. You enjoy physical activity and can grow restless without it. You have little regard for customary social etiquette and prefer to behave in a nonconventional manner. Existing rules of conduct are no more than a charade to you, and you refuse to play. You thoroughly enjoy socializing with your friends, but they must learn to take your blunt outspokenness.
Just like their ruler, Jupiter, Sagittarians can have a very nasty, thunder-and-lightning kind of temper. But once the storm passes, they return to their sunny selves; they don't hold grudges like Scorpions. In fact, they can be very philosophical about such outbursts and quickly identify a higher meaning to them. In fact, Sagittarians always look for a deeper meaning behind everything. They continually ponder over the secrets and great mysteries of the Universe.
Romantically, you seek a long-lasting and deep relationship. You must have a special close intimacy with your partner that transcends sex. Although you may spend your youth being somewhat promiscuous, in the long run you realize that casual sex is not satisfying to you. It is important that your lover help you grow rather than try to limit you.
Sun in the Third House
This house placement of the Sun indicates that you have qualities normally associated with the sign Gemini. You have a very quick mind, an active curiosity, and a tendency to become bored unless you are constantly stimulated by new information. You love to talk and enjoy a good debate with a worthy opponent. Travel is a very mind-expanding experience for you, and you will benefit greatly from visiting or living in foreign lands.
Communication is very important to you, and you may find that your chosen occupation will include writing, public speaking or other forms of communication. You have a strong appreciation for education and seek to develop your intellectual abilities to their fullest. You enjoy picking up new information through reading or through your daily interactions with others. Your relationship with your siblings and childhood friends will play an important role in your life.
In your love life, you seek a partner who can provide the excitement and constant change you need in order to feel alive. You would not be happy with a mate who wants to settle into a familiar rut and stay there. You do not need to be in the constant company of your loved ones and are able to carry on long-distance relationships by phone or mail. You do not have to be with a person to communicate your love.
Moon in Aquarius
With your Moon in Aquarius you are highly imaginative and should direct this energy into creative channels. You are very open-minded about the changing trends in society and can adapt quite easily.
Most of all you love to shock others with your opinions, which often violate taboos. You can see the need for old arbitrary restrictions to be cast aside. Freedom is very important to you, but you must sometimes remember to extend the same freedom to your partner.
You are a mixture of radical thought and conservative action and are sometimes plagued by anxiety and tension. Often you take on others' problems or causes without getting anything in return.
In relationships you seek a person who is somewhat unusual. You look for a companion who can share many interests with you. In business you need a stable partner who can make good practical use of your creative imagination and keep you grounded. Metaphysics and occult sciences are also of interest to you.
The one drawback of this moon placement is a tendency to gossip and spread rumors. Although this may be done with the best of intentions, you may not enjoy dealing with the consequences when you are identified as the source. Physically, your areas of weakness are varicose veins, eye afflictions and ulcers on your legs.
Moon in the Sixth House
You can be very meticulous at work and are very organized. It is not difficult for you to dedicate yourself to an occupation that offers little reward. Instead you are very selfless and giving, and you would do well in a job in which you serve others. Avoid becoming too critical of coworkers' performance on the job; you need not become so emotional if they don't live up to your standards. This Moon placement also can indicate frequent change in your career.
Health and hygiene are particularly important to you, and you may have to resist the temptation to nag others about taking better care of themselves. You truly want to help others but can be placed in the role of martyr if you're not careful. It is likely that you will undergo emotional crises in your own life. Don't borrow others' troubles.
In your relationships you tend to either serve or be served, and this is O.K. as long as one partner does not dominate the other. Strive for equality with your mate; this will result in a more stable, long-lasting relationship. You are a considerate and thoughtful lover and can teach your mate a great deal.
Mercury in Scorpio
You are highly perceptive and intuitive and have the ability to see through people's false pretenses. This placement of Mercury can also indicate an ability to succeed financially. You are very dexterous and are probably adept at fixing just about anything. Be sure your biting satirical wit does not become vicious criticism of others.
Sex is often on your mind, and if you're not careful you could become preoccupied with the subject. There is also a tendency to develop a sexy, earthy voice. One of the challenges with Mercury in Scorpio is to develop the self-discipline to focus less on sexual matters and more on the practical concerns of day-to-day life.
You are very private and secretive, and you reveal your deepest thoughts to no one. The unknown is intriguing to you, and you enjoy solving mysteries. You are also curious about the occult sciences and may be interested in experimenting with them. There is nothing wrong with this as long as your interest does not become obsessive and fanatical. You will be ever watchful for frauds or phonies and will reveal them whenever possible.
With your powerful mind, you understand how your thoughts create your reality. You are determined to achieve your goals and will not let obstacles stand in your way. Just remember that you tend to get back energy which is similar to what you put out. Any attempts on your part to manipulate or control others will usually backfire in the long run.
Mercury in the Third House
You have an intense curiosity and love to travel. You have a deep respect for education and enjoy communicating your ideas to others. With your versatile mind, you are open and receptive to change and new perspectives. Focus on one project at a time rather than scattering your energies, and you will have greater success.
Venus in Capricorn
Rather conventional in your values, you look at things for their practical use rather than for decorative appeal. You take life seriously and are probably interested in business and banking matters. Although you may not be a classist, per se, you are definitely conscious of your reputation in the community and pride yourself on being above reproach. You prefer to associate with others who are similarly inclined.
As a friend or lover, you are very loyal and trustworthy. Once you commit yourself to a relationship, you will be a solid and dependable mate. You look at love practically, just as you do the rest of your life. If possible, you would prefer to "marry up"--that is, to marry someone who will make you look good because of their own success or social status.
You are attracted to people who are practical, persevering and accomplished. With this Venus position you certainly recognize true value in a partner when you see it. Security is very important to you--both emotionally and materially. You seek quality in your relationships and will not settle for anything less. You would not last long with a partner who tarnishes your reputation or otherwise threatens to lower your status on the social scene.
Venus in this sign makes you somewhat controlled and reserved in your love life. You are able to be patient and wait for what (or who) you want. Actions speak louder than words to you in your love life, and you will be a tremendously loyal and helpful mate. You seek security in your relationships, and you truly need to be needed. It is important to you that your mate treat you and your relationship with respect.
Venus in the Fourth House
Your home and family are very important to you, and your home will be as beautiful and comfortable as possible. As a parent, you provide a loving environment for your children. You enjoy entertaining at home, and you make your guests feel quite welcome. Although you're not a neat fanatic, you can't tolerate clutter and dirt for long. You will achieve your greatest pleasure and comfort later in life.
Mars in Cancer
You are very intuitive and highly sympathetic toward the needs of others. You can become very emotional when you are feeling insecure. Yet most of the time your calm exterior adequately masks the extent of your emotions. You are very intuitive and are probably interested in occult and metaphysical matters.
Although you are ambitious and hard-working, your greatest comfort comes from having a comfortable and peaceful home. Because you are so sensitive, you can become quite moody and defensive with others. All this emotion can create too much acid in your stomach and result in digestive problems. Make it a point not to eat when you are overly tired or upset.
You are a caring and protective lover and are very responsive to the emotional and physical needs of your partner. You are affectionate and sentimental, and feel most comfortable with your lover in familiar, safe surroundings. Although you only seek to nurture your lover, be careful that you do not come on as being overprotective or smothering.
The rhythm of your sexuality is somewhat unpredictable; your desire may build up for a long time before you act upon it, and then your intensity is surprising. Do your lover a favor and let them know when you are getting amorous. Then you can both be prepared and relax into joyful, loving play.
Mars in the Eleventh House
You enjoy getting together with friends to share a sport or other physical activity. You pursue friends who are independent and who have goals similar to yours. Because you are sometimes intolerant of beliefs which are different from yours, you are not the easiest person to relate to. Karmically, your circle of friends contains many enemies from past lives with whom you must learn to cooperate.
Jupiter in Capricorn
With your practical, organized, steadfast manner, you have the ability to attain great material success. You have the patience and perseverance to work hard for what you want, and you will keep trying long after others have given up. It is important to you that you have a good reputation in your community. You have a tendency to be too serious and somber (even as a child). Remember to make time for recreation and relaxation.
Jupiter in the Fourth House
Your early home life was a positive time, and your parents were a major influence in shaping your character. Even if your family was not wealthy, your home was comfortable and secure. As an adult, you enjoy creating a home environment in which your guests will feel welcome. This placement of Jupiter also favors the acquisition of real estate, as well as inheritances from family members.
Saturn in Capricorn
You are highly ambitious and well-organized, and you are willing to work hard to achieve your goals. Since you have a natural ability to put abstract concepts into layperson's terms, you would be an excellent writer or teacher. With your natural talent for finance and science, you would also do well in these fields. Having a good reputation in your community is very important to you. Avoid a tendency to work too hard and neglect your personal life.
Saturn in the Fifth House
You are reserved and serious, and it is difficult for you to express affection. Although you have creative talents, you prefer to use them to create practical objects rather than for mere enjoyment. It can be difficult for you to forget your responsibilities and relax. Parenthood may be a burden to you, and you must work hard to achieve understanding with your children. May have children later in life.
Uranus in Leo
1955-1962)
You are confident and well-organized, and have excellent leadership abilities. Since you find it difficult to tolerate restrictions of any kind, you can be defiant and rebellious toward authority. You do not follow trends, and in fact your values are usually different from what others consider to be acceptable in society. You will learn a great deal through sudden ups and downs in your love life.
Uranus in the Twelfth House
You are highly intuitive and deeply interested in metaphysical matters. With your extreme sensitivity, you may have psychic experiences which you will keep secret for fear of ridicule. You are an eternal idealist and are constantly seeking the meaning of life and your role in the Universe. Avoid a tendency to escape to your private fantasy world rather than dealing with the harsh realities of life.
Neptune in Scorpio
(1955-1970)
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.
Neptune in the Third House
You have an active imagination and are highly creative. With your keenly developed intuition you can develop clairvoyant abilities. As a child you may have suffered deep feelings of insecurity which produced nervous tension. You tend to be vague when expressing your feelings. Current difficulties with relatives are karmic in nature, and you will be healthier and happier once they are resolved.
Pluto in Virgo
(1956-1972)
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.
Pluto in the Twelfth House
With your strong interest in puzzles and mysteries, you are a natural born investigator or researcher. You may hold yourself back or try to hide parts of yourself from others because you fear disapproval, but this only makes them more suspicious of you. You have a strong desire to serve the less fortunate members of society. If Pluto is afflicted, avoid a tendency toward self-pity and depression.
Gemini Midheaven
You need to pursue intellectual interests and express a variety of abilities in your career. Working on more than one project at a time expresses your need to be in constant motion, as far as your career is concerned. This placement usually occurs together with Virgo rising, which lends personal stability, so that most of your traveling will be done from your armchair. An ideal occupation would combine physical stability with intellectual activity.
With your desire for constant stimulation in your career, you like interacting with others both one-on-one and in large groups. A sense of humor will win you friends and help you to get your new ideas across to them. Seek the advice of your friends when you face career difficulties, because when under stress you can hatch some pretty scatterbrained schemes or want to pull off a disappearing act. When you get in over your head it is usually because of your versatile curiosity, but remember how much you and others can learn from the problems that you are often the first to face.
Occupations consistent with your mental style of work include writer, speaker, media personality, entertainer, dancer, musician, composer, advertiser, publisher, programmer, experimenter, investigator, inventor, traveler, counselor, pilot, politician, lawyer, psychologist, scientist, or teacher. For the most personal career guide, also consider the nature of any planets which fall in the 10th house or conjoin the Midheaven, the sign and house placements of Mercury, ruler of the Midheaven, and any aspects which other planets make to the Midheaven.
North Node in Virgo
You are very sensitive and compassionate, and others often come to you seeking comfort. Because you can feel the pain of others, you are an easy mark for persons with hard luck stories. In many lifetimes, you have been deceived by people who took advantage of your compassionate nature. Your challenge now is to realize you cannot help everyone and to develop judgment and discrimination. Learn to say "no" and stick to it. You have extremely high ideals, and to succeed you must put them in a real world perspective.
North Node in the Twelfth House
In past lifetimes you have been a compulsive perfectionist and have been overly critical of others. During this lifetime you will learn to be more compassionate and forgiving of human flaws. You may undergo periods of forced isolation which will help you become more tolerant of differences in other people. Adopting a more positive attitude will help preserve good health.
Chiron in Aquarius
You have a very eclectic mind, and your ideas are very unique and innovative. At times it may be difficult for others to grasp the concepts you outline, because your ideas are often ahead of their time. You live with one foot already in the future, and it is imperative to you that you feel you are always moving forward. Many of your inventions are designed to help solve social and political problems.
During your early life you may have felt that your family members (especially your parents) were not evolving or progressing in life. Perhaps you were expected to conform to tradition or "the norm" rather than being appreciated for being yourself. As an adult, you will be a free spirit, pursuing your highest truth in your own unique, unconventional ways.
Chiron in the Sixth House
Health is a major concern for you, and you may have unusual or unique physical problems. Your overall level of satisfaction in life affects your body's health and vitality. You would enjoy a job that allows you to feel you are helping to make the world a better place. As long as you feel good about what you do, you're perfectly happy to work behind the scenes. It's not necessary for you to get all the credit for successful projects.
You'll work hard to perfect your techniques and refine your skills to be the best at whatever you do. Your goal is absolute perfection, but it is of course impossible to achieve. With your strong concerns for health, you may choose a career in the health care field.
Planets in Aspect
Venus trine Ascendant (Strength: 06.94)
You are warm and charming in your dealings with others, and you are willing to make compromises when necessary. You avoid gossiping about others for fear that you will be criticized yourself. Actually, you cannot stand to be criticized or to hear what may be the truth about yourself.
It is not unusual for your circle of friends to include influential people. You make friends easily and try to win their approval through making concessions. You usually do not spend money except on yourself, but if you do buy a gift for someone, you will prefer to deliver it personally.
You would enjoy college life and receiving an education. You are career-minded and socially oriented and seek a partner who is the same. They must earn your respect and should be eager to succeed and acquire the physical comforts of success.
In your love relationships you are frank, open and fun- loving. You need someone who can speak their mind without hesitation and without being redundant or boring. Using a few words to say a lot impresses you. You will strive to be as attractive as possible for your partner.
Pluto square Midheaven (Strength: 05.82)
You are highly ambitious and set lofty goals for yourself professionally. Although you are anxious to succeed, it would be unwise for you to take unethical shortcuts or to step on others in your climb to the top. This aspect is particularly karmic in nature, and what goes around surely will come back around to haunt you.
Because your emotional depth is evident to others, you may often be approached for advice or guidance. While you may be able to be of assistance by counseling others, be sure you remember that they are running their own lives. Resist the temptation to control and manipulate others for your own gratification. Instead, try to empower them so they can transform their own lives.
You have a strong desire to help cure the ills of society and make the world in general a better place. Although you seek material success, your greatest reward will be obtained by using any power you gain to help those less fortunate. Others will be inspired by your dedication and will follow your example.
Moon opposite Uranus (Strength: 05.36)
You experience many emotional ups and downs as you attempt to balance your intellect and your emotions. It may always seem that you cannot have them both functioning satisfactorily in your life at the same time. This balancing act will become easier as you mature. Be patient and know that this conflict within you is resolvable.
In truth, you are suffering from lack of confidence in your ability to relate well to others. While you are anxious to meet new friends and form close relationships, you are insecure about "putting yourself out there" in your interchanges with others. Just relax and be yourself; you are very lovable. People sense the protective wall you put up around yourself and are deflected by it. Don't be afraid to respond to others with warmth and love. Remember: whatever you want to receive in life, be willing to give it to others.
You often find yourself involved in the decisions of others, and you may even make your living dealing with the personal affairs of others. Teaching would be a good profession for you; and as you inspire self-confidence in others, you will also build it in yourself.
Romantically, your love life is anything but "normal." You seem to end up with lovers who are already attached or are otherwise unavailable to you. The most complicated and even bizarre qualities of a relationship actually appeal to you. Maybe this is your own way of remaining unattached. You enjoy being free to flirt with others, even though you may not consummate the seduction physically. For this reason, some partners may find you a bit of a "tease."
Maintain good health by taking time off for nothing but relaxation. Otherwise, nervous distress could become physical distress. Go out to the country, enjoy some peace and quiet, do pleasant things.
Jupiter trine Pluto (Strength: 04.58)
You are highly optimistic and firmly believe that you can contribute to a beneficial change in society and the world in general. This bright outlook inspires those around you and encourages hope for the future. You can prompt others into action and act as their leader in bringing about needed changes.
Others usually listen when you talk because you speak with such conviction and deep wisdom. You always seek the larger meaning behind everything that happens to you and have a natural understanding for psychic and metaphysical matters. This draws others to you, and they respect your depth of knowledge and understanding.
In your occupation, it would be wise to select a career which serves the public as a whole. You would be an excellent teacher (whether in a classroom or not) and would encourage your students to expand their limited awareness of the universe.
Children are especially fond of you; in you they find someone who truly understands the difficulties of their lives. But even your elders will respect your sage advice, and you could inspire them to reclaim their inner youth. At times you may feel as though your mission is to serve and teach others, and perhaps this is the case.
You have a strong need to express yourself creatively and with great imagination; anyone who tries to stand in your way will meet with great resistance. It is not easy for others to deceive you, for you can see through the best of pretenses. To others you seem to have an incredible gift of foresight, and this allows you to better prepare for difficulties.
Because personal freedom of movement is important to you, your friends and lovers must allow you to come and go as you please. Have faith in your intuitive talents when "reading" other people; more often than not they are accurate.
Mercury sextile Ascendant (Strength: 03.73)
You have a sharp wit and an intense curiosity. Communication comes easily for you, and you are an adept conversationalist. You are well read and therefore can speak with authority on many subjects. In your dealings with others you approach situations from an intellectual rather than emotional perspective. With your talent for detached observation and your way with words, you would also be an excellent writer.
With your natural ability at communication, you would do well in any career which would allow you to use this talent. Since you also enjoy relating to people, you would enjoy a job which allows you to have contact with the public. You are a never- ending source of new and clever ideas, and this too can help you in your career. Just be sure you don't share your ingenious ideas with supervisors who will take the credit or see your sharp mind as a threat to their position.
You are a master at combining verbal language with subtle body signs to further convey your meaning. It may take your partner a while to learn to read your subtlest communications, but once you are familiar with each other you will be able to communicate very well, even without words. You are attracted to others primarily through their minds; if they measure up intellectually, then you get to know the rest of them.
Pluto conjunct Ascendant (Strength: 03.70)
With Pluto on your Ascendant, you are acutely aware of the many ills of society and feel called upon to help transform the world into a better place. You are able to see how this could be done using the resources currently available on this planet, and you can help others to see and understand that they have the power to heal the Earth.
You are intolerant of parasitic public officials and unresponsive bureaucracies. Although you are not quick to get involved in just any cause, you will be ready to fight with a vengeance if the situation is serious enough. You could play a major role in educating the public as to the injustices they are suffering and allowing others to suffer. Because you speak clearly and with authority, others do not question your motives. Once you have taken on a worthy cause, you will not rest until those responsible for the problem have somehow been forced to face and correct it.
In your personal relationships you are self-confident and know how to set and achieve your goals. You will protect the interests of your loved ones, and you will expect the same from them. Others may consider you pushy and very intense. You tend to bring out the worst in some people, particularly if they have something to hide, so be careful who you choose as your opponent. If pushed too hard, they could become violent with you.
Saturn trine Ascendant (Strength: 03.41)
You are willing to work hard to achieve your goals and feel obligated to develop your creative talents fully. You don't expect overnight success and you don't take unnecessary risks. It is possible that your parents were not able to lavish you with gifts as a child, yet you are thankful that they taught you to take care of yourself.
Material success is very important to you, and you may even judge others by their net worth. You seek respect from your peers and like to live out the legend of the person who fought their way to the top against all odds. You want depth from those around you, not pleasant superficiality.
Your friends may be few, but you are quite loyal to them and for the most part your friendships probably last over the years. Before entering into a romance, you will check out the references of your prospective partner before making any commitment. Again, you seek depth in your lover; you are not interested in a purely physical affair.
Others may consider you to be a loner, and it is true that you isolate yourself from others at times. You do not appear to be a warm, caring person on the outside--unless a person gets to know you very well. You need to lower the walls you have built between your inner self and others to allow them to get to know you. Your cool exterior can be intimidating.
Mars opposite Saturn (Strength: 03.09)
This aspect causes a certain amount of vacillation in your energy level and your goals in life. You go through periods of constant movement and activity and then swing to times of very low energy and lack of direction. There seems to be little in between for you, as you tend to swing from one extreme to the other.
It may seem that your life is beset with unexpected "highs" and "lows," but in reality you are the only thing standing in your way on your road to success. Learn to set priorities, establish goals, plan for their achievement and carry out the plans. This requires patience, self-discipline and determination. Remember that no matter how bad things look, a positive attitude will carry you through much more easily than a negative one.
You can readily see the talents and achievements of others, but you give yourself little credit for your abilities. Since others can see your worth more clearly than you can, you often rely on reassurance from those around you that you are valued. The key to your success lies in developing a strong sense of self-worth. Once you truly feel you deserve the good things in life, you will have them.
You would do well in a career in government work, military service, law enforcement, or physical therapy. It would perhaps be more fulfilling for you to work alone. This would allow you to develop your talents to a level of expertise which would allow you to feel comfortable working around others. Be patient about achieving your goals and work toward them one step at a time.
In your love life you suffer continual disappointments. You seem convinced that you want your lover when you enter the relationship, but then may find that once the chase is over, you no longer want them. There will be difficulty satisfying your desires in relationships. Again, the key is patience. Once you develop a higher degree of self-confidence, relating on all levels will be more pleasurable.
This aspect is traditionally said to indicate injuries to the bones, such as fractures, problems with joints, arthritis, etc. Beware of accidents involving such injuries and take care to get proper exercise as well as rest. The guideline of "Moderation in everything" is very appropriate for you.
Neptune sextile Pluto (Strength: 03.09)
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.
Neptune sextile Ascendant (Strength: 02.79)
You have a keen imagination and at times may find it difficult to separate fact from fantasy. You are appalled at social injustices you see in the world and feel you should do something about it. Yet you shy away from confrontation and usually leave such matters to others who are more assertive in nature. Others find you to be compassionate and sympathetic, and you are enormously sensitive to others around you and to your environment.
With your active imagination, you are prone to exaggeration and embellishment in relating your experiences to others. This can be a valuable trait when used in the fields of acting, public speaking or writing. You are not competitive by nature because of your sensitivity and fear of failure. For best results stick to areas where you feel quite competent rather than taking on seemingly impossible tasks. Then as you become more confident you can take on more challenging projects.
In love relationships you rely on your intuition and subtle body language to communicate your feelings to your partner. It is wonderful that you have this ability, but it is still best to communicate your feelings and needs with words to be sure your message is clear. Making decisions is not a simple matter for you, since you believe that all options deserve equal attention and consideration.
Mercury sextile Venus (Strength: 02.66)
You have little problem getting along with others because of your willingness to compromise. Friends appreciate your good nature and your social grace. You are very careful not to offend others, although you will not agree with someone when you know they are wrong. You have the ability to state your opinions in such a way that you threaten no one.
Though you are not violently argumentative, you are a good debater. Even in personal conversations, you converse with confidence and are able to back up what you say with facts. As a matter of fact, public speaking would be a good career choice for you, as could the dramatic arts. You could also be a good writer and have an in-born talent for expressing yourself.
You are intimidated by intense competition and may prefer to work alone or with small groups. You can inspire your co- workers with your good judgment and ability to keep peace through compromise.
You have the ability to turn ideas into income and should not be afraid to pursue your dreams. Just be careful that you do not expect others to take your risks for you. Instead, minimize your risks by researching your idea thoroughly before investing. If you feel apprehensive about this, stick to investments that bring short-term results instead of tying up your cash for long periods of time.
Verbal communication will play a major role in your personal relationships. You will use your verbal skills in lovemaking, enticing your lover with descriptions of your sexual intentions toward him or her. This would be a healthy way to live out your sexual fantasies.
Venus trine Pluto (Strength: 02.65)
You seek a very deep and meaningful connection with those you love and will not settle for superficiality in your relationships with others. Love is a spiritual encounter for you, and you inspire others to see love through your eyes, which greatly benefits both you and those around you.
Your love nature is very intense, but you will control it until you feel the time is right and you have found the proper partner with which to express your passion. There is a strong quality of fate in your love affairs, and you will strongly dedicate yourself to the person you choose as your mate.
When you meet that "special one" in your life, chances are that the feeling will be mutual. Until then, you may dabble in romantic love, but you seek a commitment that transcends mere emotions and physical attachment. When you love, you love to the depths of your soul.
Your ethical standards are very high, and you can guide others by setting an example in your life. Youngsters are particularly drawn to you, and you can teach them to be secure in their own values and to be loving despite peer pressure to the contrary.
In your career you are highly dedicated to the path you choose. Since you are very honest and sincere, you will not be able to stay with any job which requires you to bend your morals or scruples. You could excel in financial management, sales, insurance and investment careers. You could also succeed as a counselor or analyst because you have natural insight into others' problems. You have the magical combination of being sympathetic and understanding while at the same time being strong enough in your stance to persuade others to accept your advice.
Your strong belief in yourself and your sense of integrity will take you far in life. If you should decide to enter politics or undertake social work, you can contribute much to the betterment of society. It is difficult for others to deceive you, because you can see behind their outer pretenses.
Traditionally, this aspect is known for indicating inheritances. If this should be the case, it is almost certain that you were mentioned in someone's will because of your unselfish acts and generous deeds.
Mercury conjunct Neptune (Strength: 02.52)
You have a very active imagination that may sometimes get a little out of hand. At times it may be difficult for you to tell fact from fiction. You "bend the truth" a little because you don't like the reality of the situation. Like a chameleon you pick up the vibes of your immediate environment--whether positive or negative. Since you have no tolerance for painful or uncomfortable situations, you often withdraw into a fantasy world to escape the harsh realities of life.
In order to put your creative talents to work, you must seek training to focus your otherwise scattered energy into one area. Higher education would be the best thing for you--it would allow you to recognize where your talents lie and how to develop them. You are highly romantic and love mysteries, but be careful not to overidealize situations in order to make them fit into your own reality. Learn to see people and circumstances as they are--not as you want them to be.
In a career you would do well in any field which allows you to express your artistic talents. As a connoisseur of art, you would do well as a writer, actor or dancer. These jobs would allow your imagination and keen sense of rhythm to be used to your advantage. No matter what career you pick, you will be very devoted to it.
Regarding love relationships, again, be careful not to overidealize your partner--this will only set you up for disappointments. Learn to emphasize your own good qualities instead of seeking out those who will do it for you. The "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" fascinate you, and you often attempt to imitate those persons whom you admire. Be careful to avoid indulging in drugs.
Venus conjunct Saturn (Strength: 02.34)
Your sound judgment allows you to be self-disciplined in matters of economics. This means you are well-suited to careers in banking, finance, insurance, real estate, law, sales and other areas which require the prudent handling of resources. You would especially enjoy a position which allowed you to work alone or at least to call the shots. You are willing to work hard for what you get, and your employer can be sure that the job will be well done.
In your personal relationships you may feel that you do more giving than receiving. It may seem that you are always the one who is forced to compromise in order to meet the needs of another. This may leave you with the feeling that you are being used. You are reluctant to let your truest feelings be known in a relationship, because you are afraid that would give your partner the upper hand in dealing with you. However, you are very loyal and sincerely affectionate and may even decide to put up with an unsatisfactory relationship out of a strong feeling of commitment.
You prefer a partner who is sincere and honest and who takes life seriously. You seek maturity and security in a mate as well as social status. Anyone with whom you spend a great deal of time must be refined and socially gracious. You admire ambition and drive in another as well as loyalty and a commitment to working together toward mutual goals.
It is important that you maintain a positive attitude toward life. Becoming negative and depressed can lead to health problems, especially in the throat area. Learn to be more optimistic even in gloomy situations.
Sun square Pluto (Strength: 02.32)
You have a very strong will that can lead to altercations in your life. People may find you a little hard to understand. You may vacillate between times of total control in times of crisis to times of freaking out over minor problems. This may confuse and alienate all but the best of friends.
You are afraid to form close friendships for fear of being hurt. This fear of failing could also extend to your career and prevent you from attempting anything other than what you know you are capable of.
One lesson for you with this aspect is to swallow your pride and take advice from those who can help you. Don't be defensive and cold toward others who appear to know more than you in some area. Learn to adopt an attitude of compromise. Sometimes others can see more clearly mentally what is cloudy to you emotionally.
Others may perceive you to have a lofty ego that should be toppled. They may feel they have to defend themselves against your power trips. This can bring out the worst in others around you.
A more positive side of this aspect is that it gives you incredible managerial skills. You are quite ambitious and seek a career that allows you to exercise a certain degree of power. Just don't forget the ones who helped you after you get to the top.
It's not easy for you to maintain a calm, stable love relationship. This is often due to your insistence that you be the dominant partner in the relationship (at some level). Just remember, some people do not like being dominated. If you are not careful to act out the energies of this aspect in more positive ways in your life (such as through your career), they will manifest as crises in the home or at work. No matter where these energies are directed, remember "everything in moderation."
Venus sextile Neptune (Strength: 01.85)
You are highly creative and can use your active imagination to express yourself in a form that is pleasing and readily accepted by others. Therefore, your choice of possible occupations varies widely. In addition to your artistic abilities, you have a knack for solving others' problems. You would do well in healing professions, as a mediator in conflict management, or as a member of an organization dedicated to society as a whole. You would also excel in the creative arts: music, art, writing, etc.
You are impatient with the living conditions of those who live on the seedier side of society, and you strive to make your own surroundings as pleasant as possible. In your love life you tend to be romantic and idealistic. Your mate or lover will probably share your appreciation of the finer things in life.
In the long-run, you are looking for a soul-mate rather than just a bed mate. You tend to throw yourself into relationships, and this ends up in disappointment. Try to develop a healthy sense of good judgment and discrimination in your love life. Take the time to get to know a new love before giving him or her your heart.
Mercury sextile Saturn (Strength: 01.68)
This aspect indicates a well-developed intellectual capacity. You are undoubtedly well-informed and state your opinion confidently on subjects which interest you. You have a strong curiosity and seek to learn all you can, and your storehouse of knowledge is extensive. You are thoughtful of others, resourceful, organized, and self-confident.
You realized early in life that you have a duty to yourself to develop your skills and talents. The range of occupations available to you is wide because of your ability to accomplish whatever you set out to learn. You would do well in education, science, research, mining, conservation of natural resources, government, politics or architecture. Success does not come to you by luck, but by careful planning, persistence and determination.
As a child you may have felt that you didn't fit in with others in your age group. Because of your highly developed intellect, you may have been more comfortable with adults than with your peers. You have fantastic comprehension and memory skills, and you may have found school slow and boring if you were required to slow down to the pace of the average student.
Others admire your knowledge and insatiable curiosity (your superiors as well as your inferiors). Once you succeed in your chosen field, consider writing a book on your experiences. Such a book could have an enormous impact on others, and of course it would be very well researched and documented.
You admire people who are honest, sincere and mature; your friends and lovers share a mutual respect with you. Communication and intellectual stimulation is more important to you than sex. It is possible that in your later years you will take on a much younger partner.
Neptune inconjunct Midheaven (Strength: 01.55)
You are extremely sensitive and intuitive, and you may have natural psychic abilities. For this reason, you tend to absorb the feelings of those around you, and at times it may be difficult to tell the difference between your own feelings and those which belong to others. It is important that you surround yourself with positive, optimistic people rather than those who are negative and depressed. Because you are so impressionable, your parents and other early role models strongly influenced your life.
If your parents were supportive and nurturing, they helped you overcome your sense of insecurity by convincing you that you are a special person and worthy of the best life has to offer. By emphasizing your successes and minimizing your mistakes, they taught you to have self-confidence, even when facing difficult tasks.
If your parents were critical and demanding, but not very accepting of your imperfections, you will become your own worst critic. You will lose faith in your ability to make decisions, and to run your own life. As a result, you will have difficulty developing a strong sense of self-esteem later in life.
Sun square Moon (Strength: 01.52)
It may seem to you that you are required to make great concessions in order to achieve your goals in life. This can lead to bitterness and resentment on your part if you are not careful to keep a positive attitude. This can manifest itself not only in your career but also in your personal and social relationships. You may be continually forced to prove your worth to employers and other people in positions of authority.
You seem to constantly miss opportunities because you do not have the proper skills. The truth of the matter is that you must make more than a halfway effort at achieving your goals and must be willing to exercise the self-discipline required to do this.
You must be willing to work hard for what you receive in life. You must also be able to handle your ego and not let it interfere with your ambitions. You still do have many things to learn in this life. It is hard to obtain the required recognition and support from people of influence with a huge chip on your shoulder.
You may also have problems in relationships with the opposite sex. You like to argue and can be quite defensive, making it impossible to reason with you. This stems from your own emotional insecurity and can only be remedied by your willingness to compromise. As in all other areas of your life, you must be willing to invest just as much as you hope to gain.
In sex you may have doubts about your ability to be a good lover. But in reality you are probably one of the most experienced of lovers because of your desire to prove your competence. Relax and enjoy the good things in your life. You can be much too hard on yourself.
Jupiter trine Ascendant (Strength: 00.86)
Those around you enjoy your charm and wit, and you enjoy socializing with others. You approach life with a sense of humor and sometimes find it difficult to be serious. You are so optimistic that you expect nothing to ever go wrong and are genuinely surprised when things don't work out your way. You have more than your share of creative ability and can certainly succeed at most anything you choose to do, but it will take hard work and self-discipline.
You enjoy the good life and fully expect to succeed in life. Yet you tend to become disappointed when success doesn't come easy. Don't overestimate others' talents and belittle your own. Your peers respect you and your creative ideas more than you know. Try to be the very best you can at everything you do, and you will feel more confident about your abilities. You may want to impress your superiors by taking on extra work responsibilities, but in order to do so you'll have to develop self-discipline and cut back on your partying. Are you ready for that?
Since you feel nothing can go wrong, you can become careless about your finances. Don't borrow money unless it is really necessary. It's much harder to pay back when the time comes. The more solid your finances are, the more opportunities you can seize when they present themselves. Learn to establish priorities and develop self-discipline and you'll have a much greater chance for success.
Mercury trine Mars (Strength: 00.77)
You are highly creative and imaginative and have the enthusiasm to carry out the many projects you can dream up. Your chances for success are quite high since you easily recognize your own talents and limitations and can work within them to achieve your goals. You will succeed in your own way and in your own time and will not be distracted from your goals by anyone or anything.
Because of your good communication skills, you are well informed on many subjects and have an incredible ability to concentrate on any given task. You are a stimulating conversationalist and inspire others with your knowledge, wit and enthusiasm. You have an easy-going nature and are friendly to most everyone. As a friend you are trustworthy and reliable and would never divulge the secrets of another.
You could excel in such fields as law, politics, education, writing, the theater and government service. You are particularly good with children because you are patient enough to understand and help direct their unlimited energy. In whatever field you choose, you can rise to the top through your hard work and courage. You would also derive much satisfaction working with groups.
Because you can tolerate the flaws and hang-ups of others, others enjoy having you around. You do not feel compelled to interfere in the lives of loved ones and expect the same respect from others. You seek a mate who is as creative and inspired as you are and who shares a common life goal.
Sun opposite Midheaven (Strength: 00.67)
Your personal life is the most important thing to you, and it is crucial that your home and family be nurturing and supportive. Ideally, your domestic life is harmonious and happy, as you could not tolerate one that is filled with conflict. A stable and secure home life will help you establish a strong sense of identity.
It is very difficult for you to be objective about people and events in your life. You tend to judge the world according to your own values and emotional reactions. If something is not alright with you, then you can't imagine how it can be with anyone else. It probably seems to you at times that nothing could possibly be more important in life than your feelings.
You are very introspective, and your own opinion of yourself means more than the opinions of others. Rather than seeking material success in the outer world, your greatest achievement is to develop your inner qualities through self-examination and personal growth.
Jupiter sextile Neptune (Strength: 00.07)
This aspect brings a keen imagination and a great deal of idealism. You are optimistic and study the past in order to find answers for the problems of the future. You are good at coming up with new theories that offer solutions to social or political problems, although they may not always be practical. At the very least, you feel a responsibility toward society as a whole and feel compelled to point out injustices and inequities in order to prompt change.
It is possible that you will support politicians whom you believe will do something about the many social problems you see around you. You are impatient with both politicians and religious leaders who claim to serve the public but are in fact serving themselves. You are not afraid to state your opinion and may even become the spokesperson for others who are not so brave.
In a career you would do well in a religious, social or political organization dedicated to bringing about needed changes for the future. You would also be a good writer and could convey your emotional message quite effectively. Your broad perspective and understanding of human nature will serve you well in any occupation you choose. Cultivate some self-discipline and learn to plan your actions well.
Because you are extremely idealistic, be careful not to be deceived by others. You tend to see others as you want to, rather than as they really are; this sets you up for disappointment. Before declaring your undying love to a new partner, find out how they feel about you. Your tendency to wear your heart on your sleeve can lead to embarrassment.
Balance of Elements and Modalities
Abundant Earth
You are in touch with the real world. More than others, you know where the rubber meets the road; persistent study has shown you how to make things happen in a practical sort of way. Your nature is well-suited to the adult world of responsibilities, which you master at a young age. Not impulsive with your resources, you would only start a business after careful study, but you would manage it well. You enjoy the satisfaction that comes not just from starting projects, but from finishing them. Your steady, organized approach is actually more productive in the long-run than is that of the quick, flashy types. You know how to establish a pace and keep it.
Do not let your awareness of the material world make you unappreciative of the spiritual plane that underpins our life here -- to which others may be more sensitive than you. Practicality is fine, but try to understand that dreams, feelings, and enthusiasms are also important and should not be squelched. Others might surprise you with what their optimistic risk-taking is able to achieve. You can be so cautious and reserved that some people find you conservative and dull. If you yourself become bored or depressed, admit that security isn't everything and try to be more spontaneous. Open up to the new and follow your bliss (in a careful sort of way).
Lack of Air
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.
Abundant Relationships
With abundant planets in these houses, relationships and communications with others are likely to be central to your life. You can help others by exchanging ideas and making connections between people. You will probably maintain active contact with a wide circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances. You keep abreast of new information via various media and your friends.
Abundant Endings
With abundant planets in the houses of endings, you are probably sensitive, moody, and introspective. You are not afraid to show your feelings and make an empathetic listener to the problems and feelings of others. You have been around the track enough yourself to sense what others are going through and to show that you care. You are not the most intellectual or practical person. You can be easily swayed by an appeal to your emotions.
Lack of Life
You could have difficulty envisioning or planning for the future. You are likely to accept the status quo, living in the past and present, but not actively striving to create the future. Lacking your own passionate goals, you are more likely to be a follower than a leader.
A lack of planets in the houses of Life can be offset by abundant planets in Fire signs.
Lack of Substance
You are not the most grounded or practical person. The rules of this material world are not well known to you. Others may admire your dreams, but they could be impossible dreams. You may find it difficult to choose, plan, and work towards a career or vocation.
A lack of planets in the houses of Substance can be offset by abundant planets in Earth signs.
Balanced Sign Modalities
In your chart, the planets are distributed in a balanced manner between the Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable modalities. Ability to act and survive in the world is balanced with inner insight. You stick to your values and principles at the same time that you react quickly and adapt to changes. You have the ability to listen as well as to lead. You enjoy life, but also do not shrink from facing challenges.
Abundant Cadent
An abundance of planets in the cadent houses helps to make you versatile and adaptable. You are flexible in your plans, adapting easily to changes or to the people whom you meet. You may travel a lot or move frequently. You are a good listener and communicator. You will use your mind a lot or frequently spend time alone during your life.
Lack of Succedent
A lack of planets in succedent houses gives you a certain emotional detachment. You do not pay much attention to the pleasures of the body or to cultivating a particular group of friends. Enjoying life is not the most important thing to you. You act not on the basis of feeling or principle, but from necessity. You tend to be a restless wanderer of either the world or the mind.
A lack of planets in the Succedent houses can be offset by abundant planets in the Fixed signs.
Lack of Angular
A lack of planets in the angular houses indicates little desire or drive for recognition. You adapt to the world instead of trying to change it or make your mark upon it. You concentrate on enjoying life and find ways to help others that do not call attention to yourself.
A lack of planets in the Angular houses can be offset by abundant planets in the Cardinal signs.
