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.

The catch word for Leo is "ego." This sign is well known for its self-confidence, pride, creativity and ability to lead. Just be careful that this combination does not add up to a domineering personality. Remember that others also need a chance to shine. Share the center of the stage with others and it will be much more enjoyable for you as well.

Leo can be a warm, loving and charming kitten but can turn into a ferocious lion when threatened, angered or hurt. They are extremely loyal and generous with their friends and love partners and can be very affectionate. This can be considered good or bad, depending on the partner. Sometimes Leo needs to remember that they can give out too much love and affection. Some people are not prepared to receive love as freely as Leo. Allow your friends and lovers to express their love for you in their own way, even if it is not so lavish as you would like it to be.

Leos carry themselves with dignity and convey an air of regality. They don't like to have their ability or authority questioned. As a matter of fact, the best way to tame the lion is to flatter him or her. Vanity is Leo's one weak spot, and the lion can become downright arrogant. Physically, Leos are prone to sudden accidents, high fevers and chronic diseases. Particular areas of weakness are: the heart, back, shoulders, legs, ankles, throat and reproductive organs.

In relationships, you need to be given freedom to be who you are. Anyone who cannot understand this about you will most likely lose you as a friend or love partner. Just remember, you must also grant the same freedom to others.

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.

You are very self-confident about your mental abilities, and you are an articulate and convincing speaker. You are highly creative and have your own distinctive style of expression. Since not everyone is as talented or confident as you are, you need to allow them to express themselves in their own way. One challenge of Mercury in Leo is to develop patience with others who seem slow or uncreative.

Although you are happiest when others are admiring and praising you, at times it is best to learn a little humility. Otherwise, you will encounter disturbing surprises in your interactions with others which will "shock" you and force your attention away from yourself. With Mercury in Leo there is a tendency to be arrogant and demanding. Remember that you are not the only player on the stage of life, and every role is as important as your own because without any one of them the play is incomplete.

Since you are often overly absorbed in yourself and your own view of life, it is difficult to get your attention long enough to make an impression on you. You take in only the information you feel will be useful to you and reject the rest. For this reason you are not very observant and need to develop a greater attention span and eye for detail. Your reactions are usually slow, not because you are stupid, but because of your lack of interest in things which are not about you.

With your strong sense of self-confidence, you are a natural public speaker or writer and can present your ideas clearly. In discussions with others you will attack any statements that seem irrational or contradictory. You love to travel and are enthusiastic about life. With your ability to inspire children, you could be a great teacher.

You are charming and witty, and you have a smooth way with words. Because you filter your emotions through your mind, you have the ability to stand back from a situation and look at it objectively. You have a talent for expressing your feelings in writing or public speaking. As a host or hostess you are quite attentive.

Although you enjoy the fun and excitement of falling in love, you are at the same time intimidated by the obligations it brings. Because you tend to change your mind without warning in romantic matters, you may at times appear fickle to others. You need to learn to stand your ground more firmly and be clear about what you want and need.

You are highly sensuous and enjoy the finer techniques of courting and lovemaking. Verbal affection and communication are important ingredients in any major relationship, and you don't mind being "sweet-talked." Sexually, your touch is soft and gentle, and your sexual curiosity is unlimited.

Your love nature constantly changes, and you are very unpredictable in this area. It is necessary that your partner interest and excite you. If you get bored with the affair, you will certainly move on to more stimulating options. You may entertain fantasies of having two lovers at once. Traditionally, this placement of Venus indicates multiple marriages.

You have a daring and enthusiastic attitude about life. For this reason you find traveling to foreign lands to be very mind-expanding. Philosophically, you understand that humans are all the same no matter what their race or culture. Traveling helps you to fully experience this.

With Mars in Sagittarius, you are an independent thinker and enjoy a good philosophical "discussion." You can become very excited when telling a good story and must be careful that you do not exaggerate too much when relating your adventures. It would be good to work some of this mental energy out through physical outlets. Also, remember that most people are not used to your brutal honesty and would prefer that you use tact when speaking your mind.

You are intensely curious, love adventure, and can have a short attention span in matters of love. You enjoy the chase more than the actual culmination of a love affair. Because you tend to jump into any affair with vigor, you may need to develop more patience for engaging in prolonged foreplay and building up the anticipation before rushing into sex.

Since you are very enthusiastic about sex, you need a partner who is similarly inclined. You have a talent for cheering up your lover when he or she is down, and you set a good example with your optimism and zest for life. It is important that your partner have a philosophical outlook on life and hold strong principles. This will attract you more than anything else.

You are friendly and outgoing, and you enjoy entertaining guests. Since you strive for higher social status, you will do your best to become successful in your career. Because you have difficulty making up your mind, you may miss opportunities because you fail to act in a timely manner. Traditionally, this placement of Jupiter indicates that you will eventually have a happy marriage (or equivalent), although it may not be your first. If afflicted, Jupiter in Libra can indicate recurring legal problems.

Your caution, patience, concentration and willingness to work long and hard to achieve your goals have the potential to bring you great success. You are careful with your money and may over-emphasize material possessions if you're not careful. Those close to you may find you are sometimes hard to reach, since your feelings are usually controlled and your mood serious. Although you believe your career is the highest priority in your life, a stable home life will bring you the greatest peace of mind.

You are charming and cooperative; you seek peace and harmony in your life. Freedom is important to you, and is one of the few things you consider worth fighting for. Unexpected changes in your relationships will present you with challenges designed to make you more accepting of others' differences. Your challenge is to become more flexible.

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 highly organized and structured, with a keen eye for detail. During past lifetimes you have formed rigid beliefs about what constituted "fact" and harshly criticized others who made claims they could not prove. During this lifetime you will learn to understand forces beyond those which you can see, hear or measure. Through your experiences in this life, you will learn to follow your intuition and to act on faith. You will develop greater compassion for others and learn to "go with the flow."

You are very courageous, and you enjoy venturing "where no one has gone before." In order to develop your strengths to their fullest, you tend to push yourself to go beyond what you know you can handle. You love being physically active, and will become very restless if required to stand still for very long.

Chiron represents the deep wounds we've all suffered in life which seem nearly impossible to heal. In the sign Aries, it indicates that for you this wound was connected to your early upbringing, which was probably filled with conflict. This may have stifled your sense of self-confidence and spontaneity, so that you had to rebuild it as you matured.

You have a low opinion of your own self-worth which can be traced back to childhood conditioning. Rejection is a constant fear of yours, and for this reason success in your life will not come easy. If you want to have success, you must risk failure and rejection. As you mature, you will learn to love yourself more and to be less defensive in your dealings with others.

Later in life your lack of self-confidence can turn to self-assurance. You eventually grow out of your earlier tendency to assume that you were imposing on others by being around them. Since you have a tendency to come on strong, you will learn to curb that impulsiveness and connect with people at their own level of intensity.

In terms of a career, you would do well as a teacher, conservationist, or in management. You are able to practically apply your great resources of knowledge to get any job done thoroughly. As you develop your own occupational excellence, you will learn to love yourself more and to notice that many others do too--and have all along. They understand you more than they think they do, because after all they are also human and have their own fears and anxieties.

You need an understanding mate who can accept and love you as you are. He or she should believe in you and recognize your hidden potentials. This type of mate will help you bring out your buried treasure and express yourself creatively. Be sure to keep a positive, optimistic outlook on life. This makes everything else run more smoothly.

You are highly creative and have the self-confidence and leadership ability to put it into practice. You are not afraid to take on the most difficult tasks and know that you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to. However, you are not willing to resort to deception and manipulation in order to do so. You are fair and honest in your dealings with others, and because of this you will win out over your competitors.

Though you may act impulsively at times, you generally plan your endeavors carefully and efficiently. This ensures that you will succeed where others would fail. You are proud of your ability to maintain integrity in the "dog-eat-dog" world and become angry when others question your motives. If you are wrongfully accused by foes, your friends and associates will rally to your support.

You get along well with others and relate to them in a way that is non-threatening. Although you are always willing to help others, you generally mind your own business and respect the privacy of others. Your abundant energy and self-confidence draw others to you, and they are inspired by your achievements.

In a career you would do well in law, management, acting, education or sports. Your creative abilities would also serve you well in any field requiring communication skills or counseling. Young people admire you and are inspired by your self-confidence and integrity. You relate easily to children because you let them be who they are instead of expecting them to behave like adults.

In your personal relationships you make adjustments to others quite easily--mostly because you accept them as they are. You need a partner who will extend the same courtesy to you rather than trying to shape you into their idea of perfection. You solve problems in your relationships easily because you are willing to face them head-on.

You are optimistic about your future and are creative in developing your talents to your best advantage. You have a strong respect for knowledge and education and have an insatiable appetite for new information. You understand that knowledge empowers as well as liberates the mind and admire those who have attained a high level of intellectual skill.

Even as a child you had more than an average ability to absorb information, and you probably grew up in an environment which encouraged education, directly or indirectly. You are quick to recognize opportunities when they present themselves and are eager to grow and learn. You take a somewhat philosophical approach to life and see a larger meaning behind every occurrence.

In your career you would do well in education, law or government work. Your optimism and philosophic outlook are contagious and inspire those around you, especially students. In government work you would have the insight necessary to establish social guidelines for the benefit of all.

You surround yourself with others who share your attitudes about life and are generous to a fault with your friends. You require a love partner who is as excited about each daily development in the world as you are and who shares your view of the future.

Your emotional life is filled with turmoil, and you sometimes feel that everything good you experience always has a negative side. You pursue goals that are not necessarily right for you, and therefore you encounter obstacles along the way. Learn to listen to your inner voice which directs you along certain paths. Fighting it will only cause you more trouble.

You give of yourself only when there's something in it for you, and you are even likely to use love or sex to get what you want. Financial security and social comfort are important to you, and you will do what is necessary to achieve them. It is likely that you will experience at least one major upheaval in your life which will transform your attitude. You will learn to value spiritual and intellectual companions--not just those from whom you benefit materially.

If you are unable to resolve this problem, you will certainly experience difficulty in both your domestic and professional relationships. Live up to your responsibilities without being forced to, whether you will reap any material benefit from it or not. Conduct yourself with honesty and integrity, and you will attract similar people to you.

Learn to hold back on making promises unless you are sure you can carry them out. Don't be so quick to accuse others of wrongdoing, and learn to accept criticism from others. According to Universal Law, the best way to receive is to give away exactly what it is you want to get. It always comes back. Be warm, sincere and compassionate with others and they will respond in kind.

Health-wise, you are prone to illnesses relating to the generative organs. Be sure that you have periodic check-ups and watch your diet.

You are an eternal optimist about human nature and are hopeful about having fulfilling relationships. You are very trusting of others and believe that your trust will not be violated. Because your motives in dealing with others are usually quite honorable, others open up to you and enjoy your company.

With this aspect in your natal chart, you are probably attractive (especially with the tighter aspects). This may not be merely a physical beauty--in your case beauty truly is as beauty does. Others are drawn to your gentle disposition and creative nature. They find your optimism contagious and feel inspired by you.

You would do well in any career which involves dealing with people on a regular basis, such as public relations. You have a way of injecting energy into a group just when others are feeling discouraged. Because you refuse to adopt a negative attitude about life, others are forced to be more optimistic in your presence.

Although you have good judgment, you never try to force others to accept your opinion. You are polite and gracious and avoid vulgarity and coarseness. You demand honesty and sincerity from those closest to you and are willing to give the same. You enjoy children and will derive much joy from being a parent. Young people are attracted to you by your easy-going, sincere nature.

You are somewhat private about your personal life and don't try to pry into the affairs of others. Yet you will always offer a shoulder to a friend if asked.

It is difficult for you to achieve balance between your emotions and your intellect, and you often feel confused in your relationships with others. You may "fly off the handle" rather easily, and at times you can be difficult to reason with. At other times you will react in a cold, distant manner. If this tendency gets out of control, you can alienate all but the best of friends. It's not that you are intending to do so; you have a talent for offending others without meaning to.

Before making any decisions involving your relationships, be sure you listen carefully to everyone else's side. Learn the fine art of compromise and you will find it easier to peacefully coexist with others. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions; remember to give others the benefit of a doubt. If you can consciously become more tactful and patient with others, you will feel better about yourself--and so will they.

You may have difficulties in your chosen career unless you can develop more skill at negotiation and compromise. Learn to accept your failures gracefully and admit when you are wrong. Making mistakes is the way we all learn; instant perfection is impossible. When others criticize your work or point out your mistakes, don't take it so personally. Welcome the feedback of those who would like to help you sharpen up your skills and become more professional.

You may encounter conflict in your domestic life, for you do not back down easily from an argument. Worry is one of your favorite pastimes, and you may cry on the shoulders of your friends rather frequently. Resist any temptation to spread gossip (even if it is founded in truth). This could backfire against you and alienate you from your neighbors. Also, resist any urge to lavishly spend money; getting in debt is easy for you--getting out is not.

Sometimes it is difficult for you to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. When faced with an unpleasant reality, you may change the facts to make them more acceptable to you rather than deal with the situation. You have perfected the art of escapism, and you use this ploy frequently to get away from responsibilities and unpleasant circumstances.

You are extremely sensitive and care a great deal for the underprivileged members of society. In fact, you could accomplish a great deal through organizations dedicated to helping such people. But first you have to be courageous enough to look the problem straight in the eyes instead of pretending it's not there. This may be difficult for you, but it would contribute a great deal to your personal growth.

It is not easy for you to take risks, and this is one of your greatest barriers to success. Education is very necessary for you if you are to succeed--not just because of what you'll learn from books, but because of what you'll learn about human nature. This will help you to better understand yourself and others.

In your career, be careful that you can trust all professional partners you may have. Do not be tempted to indulge in shady enterprises. Others who are in competition with you would love to be able to sling mud at your reputation. Don't bite off more than you can chew; be patient and concentrate on goals that are more reasonable and short-range.

Be careful to be open with friends and lovers. Don't let little misunderstandings grow into huge problems. Be truthful with others and demand that they be so with you. It is better to know where you stand than to be blissfully ignorant. Don't let your fear of the unknown keep you from communicating your needs and learning of the needs of others.

You have tremendous personal resources with which to achieve your goals. Although the goals you set for yourself are likely to be somewhat ambitious, you are willing to work hard to see that they are achieved. Ever since you were a child and learned to invent indoor games to amuse yourself, you have steadily worked at developing your intellectual skills. This prepared you to deal well with competitive situations in your adult life.

Communication is important to you, and you could be an effective public speaker. Your dramatic delivery and flair for using the right words make you a formidable opponent in any debate. It is particularly difficult to win a debate with you because you only present information that is well documented and convincing. You also use this skill to come to the aid of others who cannot defend themselves intellectually.

You could excel in such fields as law, government work, teaching, writing, drama or the media. Although you wouldn't mind receiving recognition in your chosen career, it is not as important as the sense of satisfaction you experience when you have a chance to use your talents to their fullest potential.

Others admire your confidence and straightforwardness. Children are particularly drawn to you and may see you as a mentor. They appreciate your honesty and know that you will deal with them as equals. You respect others who stand firm on their convictions and have high ambitions. It is important that everyone who deals with you does so with honesty and integrity.

In your love life, you appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong. You have a strong sex drive, but without the mental component, no relationship will last very long. You also seek a partner with a spiritual consciousness.

Although you may not give yourself credit for it, you are very sensitive and have a highly active imagination. These are valuable talents, but they get lost in your mad dash to do everything at once. Slow down and do things one step at a time. Certainly there are some things that can wait till tomorrow. Set realistic priorities and fulfill them; don't expect too much of yourself or others.

You are anxious to receive the approval of others and will go out of your way to impress them with your dedication. Be careful that others do not take advantage of this quality by assigning you responsibilities with little or no compensation. It's O.K. if not everyone likes you. What's most important is that you like yourself.

In a career you would do well in any artistic field. Perhaps you would work best alone where your imagination could run wild and your creative talents flow unhindered. This would also remove the pressure of living up to the expectations of superiors or co-workers.

In your love life you are apt to encounter repeated disappointments. Be careful not to play the victim and allow yourself to be used. Be sure you can trust your partner before diving into a love affair. You are very yielding in matters of the heart and are vulnerable in this area.

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 very creative and full of new ideas. For this reason you would be your own best boss. Regular jobs may restrict your inventiveness and become boring. You especially resist strict schedules. You insist that you be allowed the time you need to create.

You have a very curious mind and are somewhat philosophical. You are sympathetic but not sacrificial. You are enthusiastic and outgoing and have a wide variety of friends who appreciate your sunny nature and good sense of humor. Because of your wide information base, you are fun in intellectual discussions and debate.

Good careers for you include: law, philosophy, journalism, education, public relations, or acting. In whatever you do, communication will play a big role. And, of course, you must be allowed to be creative.

Don't forget to relax and unwind after a hard day. Give some time to yourself and indulge in your favorite treat. Just be sure you can afford it.

In love relationships you exercise good judgment and do not rush into love commitments without careful consideration. You avoid making radical changes too quickly; this leads to stable, long-lasting relationships.

Because of your insatiable curiosity, you are restless and impatient and need to find productive outlets for this energy. You voice your opinions emphatically and readily. Once you make up your mind to do something, you see it through to conclusion. No matter how successful a project, you can always see room for improvement afterwards.

Your energy level is generally high, and your plans are usually successful. Don't drive yourself too hard, though, this could bring on nervous strain and related ailments. Your intellectual abilities, originality, alertness and determination to succeed combine to make you a success. You would do well in teaching, research and development, or anything dedicated to improving the future for everyone.

Intellectually, you enjoy challenging old traditions and doctrines that you consider to be outmoded. You are an advocate of social change and may even become actively involved in movements or programs with this purpose.

Your partner in love must be of like nature. You both should respect the other's need for freedom and self-expression. An inhibited or unimaginative partner would not work out for you in the long-term. You are sexually creative and adventuresome, and you need a partner who is the same.

Among other things, this aspect indicates that you must be careful to get enough rest. Natives often have a high level of nervous energy and can easily "run down their batteries" if not careful. This nervous energy carries over into your business as well as social life. Your tendency to react spontaneously and intensely to others makes you appear to be emotionally erratic and aggressive.

You make friends easily but do not make commitments casually. You are attracted to persons who seem mysterious and unusual, but you immediately lose interest when they become "serious." If you do form close relationships, they will definitely be unconventional. You are very much a free spirit and do not care for the idea of belonging to anyone. In order for you to find happiness in a love relationship, you must be willing to meet your partner half way, even if it means giving up a little freedom yourself.

You can be promiscuous and oftentimes delight in defying convention. Your sexual desires are quite strong, and you must be careful not to jeopardize other aspects of your life in your pursuit of satisfaction of your many sexual fantasies. You should not deny these desires, but you should control them, not let them control you.

Career-wise, you must slow down your pace long enough to accept and carry out responsibility on the job. Unless you can demonstrate an ability to focus on tasks and patiently follow them through to a successful conclusion, you will not find promotions on the job easy.

You seem to live for mental exploration. Discovering and communicating the connections between ideas, people, and places is your function in life. Your active mind is good at identifying new frontiers whose basics you quickly master, so that you end up knowing something about almost everything. You have a dispassionate nature that cooly considers the pros and cons of a situation, able to place logic above personal emotion. From your mental viewpoint, emotions look irrational. You make a good negotiator, sales person, communicator, arbitrator, analyst, and information processor. Ideas flow quickly for you. While impersonal and dispassionate, you nonetheless thrive on communication and social interaction. At your best, you strive to understand and accept people, not to change them. Courageously, you adhere to principles. You appreciate culture, structure, and systems.

Your greatest strength is also your weakness, namely too much coolness from placing head above heart. Leaders must be able to follow their hearts without being indecisive or equivocating. And you ignore your real connection to others if you use your mental gifts to coldly manipulate them. Try to avoid isolation by functioning as part of a team in which your logic, analysis, and communication skills are put to good use. Work with others who may be more practical, sensitive, or passionate than are you. Don't keep your good ideas inside, but write them down and communicate them to others.

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.

For you the world of feelings may be terra incognita. Close interpersonal relations, which require the expression of feelings, and empathy for others' feelings, do not come naturally or easily for you. You have difficulty putting yourself in someone else's shoes in order to feel what they feel. You will learn how to deal with life in a tough, mental sort of way. People looking for someone to empathize with them should not come to you. Those people who are comfortable with you are not looking for emotional closeness. It's not that you don't have emotions and feelings, but they do not come out easily in your relationships. If you are an artist, they may come out in your art. You probably take refuge from the difficulty of forming emotional connections by concentrating on intellectual, practical, or inspired activity. Your best companions would be those who are able to inhabit these realms with you, but who are also in touch with their feelings. They can help you to contact your own feelings and teach you to respect and honor other people's feelings.

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

You may be so focused on the "bigger picture" that you have difficulty managing the many details of life. Balancing your checkbook or leaving your bedroom clean may seem beyond your abilities. Other tasks may be important, but you find it hard to concentrate long enough to complete them. Knowing your own lack of concentration and self-discipline, you may cling to established routines because you know that you are able to do important things through force of habit. If you do not flit from job to job, you could hold onto a job or a relationship for too long because you do not trust that you will be secure without it. Your lack of real world perspective may make it hard for you to distinguish that which really matters from that which is unimportant, so that you sometimes focus on small things while leaving the really big things undone. You may say that you care about money, but unless you have abundant planets in the houses of Substance, you will not execute a detailed plan to get it. If you can avoid driving them crazy, enlist the help of those more grounded than yourself in order to turn your inspirations into reality.

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

With an abundance of planets in Fixed signs, you have the staying power to complete a project, grow a family, or expand a business. Your strength is what friends notice most about you. You have definite values; you focus your affections on the people and things that are part of your team. Friendships formed over time are important to you. You may be found at the center of a circle of friends, a large family, a government agency, or a business. You understand the contribution that stability and security make to prosperity and growth. It throws you off-balance when friends are not as reliable as you are or when love and ideals are not part of your life. Concentrate on developing confidence in yourself, a wholesome world for your family or group, and binding others to you with love. If you have a weakness, it is trouble changing or listening when people tell you a better way to do things. You can handle this weakness by empowering your team, as among them will be individuals who are good at reacting to a constantly changing world.

With a lack of planets in Cardinal signs, you may have trouble starting things. You may be timid about developing and carrying out plans. You would prefer to let others break the first ground of a new venture, so that you can pitch in and help once the outlines of the venture are clear. You probably lack confidence in your mastery of the real world and survival in it. You may substitute a rich inner life for your lack of action in the outer world. In its highest form, you may be unusually creative or spiritually committed. Ideas filter up as you focus on 'being' instead of 'doing'. Watch out for the lower manifestations, which are delegating tasks to others and pitying yourself over the lot that befalls you in life as a result of your lack of direction and initiative. Your different perspective on life gives you valuable insights that let you make real contributions wherever you are.

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