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.

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.

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.

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.

You are highly imaginative and can channel this talent into creative work. It is necessary that you maintain a steady rate of mental activity in order to avoid intellectual boredom. This Moon placement favors education, and you would be both a good teacher and a sharp student. It is difficult for you to limit yourself to one activity at a time, and you are constantly looking for new stimulating experiences.

In business you would do well with a strong, practical partner who could keep you grounded. If you can find a partner that you can respect, you will not mind entrusting them with most of the decision-making in your business. It is easier for you to adjust to adulthood if you were allowed plenty of freedom during childhood. If this is denied you, you will probably respond with a classical temper tantrum. But you bounce back quickly and are quick to respond to any emergency. You may seem fearless to others because you take chances that would be too frightening to them.

In your love life you have the ability to handle several relationships simultaneously without anyone getting hurt. You require good communication with your lovers, and they must have a keen sense of humor. A possessive partner would be a source of frustration for you, for you must be allowed to express yourself freely. Be sure your partner is aware of your needs and respects them.

You are not known for your stability, and you need a partner who can understand your dual nature. If you have such a mate, you may not feel the need to lie in order to avoid confrontations. This can be a bad habit of yours. As you age you will retain a youthful look and behavior about you. People with this Moon placement can succeed at "staying young forever."

You constantly seek to broaden your horizons and are a compulsive traveler. If you are forced to stay in one place too long you become bored and restless. Education is another way you could expand your mind. You look for a higher meaning behind everything that happens to you.

Although you appreciate logic and higher learning, you rely on your emotions to guide you through life. Therefore, you may prefer poetry and novels to nonfiction books. The things that affect you most strongly are those which appeal to your emotions.

With this Moon placement you must learn to let go of values and attitudes you picked up early in life. You tend to retain knowledge and habits even when they become outdated. Don't be limited by values that were instilled in you during childhood. They may no longer be valid.

In your social life you are attracted to others who share your spiritual and philosophical outlook on life. You need a partner who will encourage you to continually learn and grow. A restrictive or possessive partner would be unbearable for you.

With Mercury in Sagittarius you are very direct about your opinions and, if you are not careful, can become very critical of others. While some people will appreciate your frankness, others may wish you would use more tact. You approach life with a youthful and adventurous outlook, and you will retain this quality well into old age.

Because of your keen mind and impulsive nature, you will explore many different subjects and philosophies during your life. Travel to foreign lands would be very expansive for you, as it would widen your view of the world. You also have a deep respect for education. Your main weakness is your inability to stay focused for extended periods of time. While you may have grandiose ideas about extravagant projects, you very seldom manage to follow through on these inspirations.

With Mercury in Sagittarius you are prophetic, philosophical and truthful. Others come to you for advice on their problems, which you are always willing to provide. You constantly support justice and freedom of thought, and you are quick to speak out against unjust treatment of others. You sometimes overlook the details of life because you are completely focused on the larger perspective. In other words, you miss things right under your nose because your eyes are on the mountaintops.

You will achieve your greatest success once you learn to focus your energy on one project at a time and to follow it through to completion. This will allow you to turn your lofty ideals into concrete realities for the benefit of everyone.

You enjoy reading as well as writing, and you see the communication of ideas as an excellent way to expand your mind. Your home is a focus of attention in your life, and you probably have a difficult time getting settled, moving frequently from one residence to another. Young people will have a great influence on your life. You collect items for sentimental reasons and can become a "pack rat."

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.

You are sensuous and enjoy indulging in the pleasurable senses to the fullest possible extent. You enjoy surrounding yourself with beautiful art and music, and you may have creative talents in these areas. From an early age you were attracted to the opposite sex and are affectionate and loyal toward those you love. You have a talent for inspiring children and would be a stimulating teacher.

Your ability to assert yourself is often frustrated by your own incessant worrying and scrupulous attention to detail. While it is good to be organized and to have a plan of operation, you also need to learn to be a little more spontaneous and carefree.

In your career you are an energetic worker. Although you are ambitious, you find it hard to handle positions of high responsibility. You tend to take on everyone's problems and end up with stomach upsets or skin rashes. Although you are practical and diplomatic with others, you are not prone to taking risks or to participating in cutthroat competition.

You are a very careful and meticulous lover and will make sure that the surroundings and atmosphere are perfect for yourself and your partner. Although you are somewhat slow to arouse sexually, you go out of your way to please your lover, employing superior technique, sensitivity and attention to detail.

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

You are very impulsive and often restless, and for this reason you sometimes "rub people the wrong way." With your assertive nature, others may get the impression you are looking for a fight when you are only seeking friendly competition. You enjoy being physically active; just be careful that your impatience does not result in carelessness. You'd rather be a leader than a follower.

You are highly intuitive and tolerant of differences in others. With your natural ability for working with groups, you could inspire others to help bring about humanitarian changes in society. You are an excellent diplomat and can help smooth over differences between groups of seemingly incompatible people. You have a natural talent for occult knowledge, for you recognize the existence of forces beyond those you can see, feel and measure.

You are highly creative and enjoy hobbies and sports, either as a participant or a spectator. You are highly sympathetic to the needs of others and have a strong desire to make a contribution to society. Since you tend to indulge in all forms of recreation to the fullest extent, you should avoid impulsive gambling and speculation. If you have children, they will be a source of great pleasure to you.

You are an industrious and efficient worker, and you have a sharp, analytical mind. With your keen attention to detail, you are excellent at making and carrying out intricate plans. Just be careful you don't get too involved in the minor details of life to see the larger picture clearly. You have a tendency to be shy and can be prone to moods of depression. Your greatest satisfaction in life will come from serving the needs of others.

You are reserved and serious, and even as a child you seemed older than others your age. It is possible that you were forced to take on adult responsibilities as a child and did not have much time to play with other children. You will encounter much hardship in life, and through this adversity you will discover your own self-worth. Avoid a tendency to become pessimistic and depressed in difficult times.

Your home is a high priority, and you are very nurturing and protective of loved ones. You may have considered your mother to be an unacceptable role model, so that you feel the need to not repeat mistakes she made in raising you. Circumstances may force you to change residences more often than you would like. Your feelings are hurt quite easily, and you are careful not to trust just anyone.

You are very independent and innovative, and the career you choose will be an unusual one. If possible, you should work for yourself or in a position which allows you to take the initiative. You are interested in metaphysical subjects. As a futuristic thinker, you would do well in technical or scientific fields, or as an astrologer. If Uranus is afflicted, you may suffer sudden setbacks in your career.

You have a strong desire for peace, harmony and justice and will work to bring about humanitarian reforms. Your ideas about relationships are much different from your parents'. You must learn to compromise and to sacrifice what you want if necessary in order to achieve balance.

You are extremely sensitive and will benefit from following your intuitive hunches. Because you have faith in the Universe to take care of you, you place little emphasis on money or other material possessions. For this reason, you tend to be generous and share with those less fortunate. If Neptune is afflicted, you may have a strong insecurity about money which results in desperate acts of fraud or deception.

Your generation saw the birth of greater autonomy and self-rule among the world's nations, as well as the hippy movement. New labor-saving devices created more leisure time. Television entered our lives, and the entertainment industry mushroomed. You have a strong desire to creatively solve the world's problems.

You will attract strong and powerful friends who will have a powerful influence on you, and your greatest transformation in life will come through your friendships. You are dedicated to principles which will benefit all mankind, and you will fight for humanitarian reform in society. Choose your friends carefully and avoid those who require you to act against your will to gain their approval.

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.

You put a great deal of emphasis on being in an intimate relationship and can be overly concerned with pleasing others, thereby neglecting your own needs. Remember that you must truly know and love yourself before you can give of yourself to another. In past lives you have sacrificed a great deal for loved ones who did not appreciate your efforts. Now you may quickly become resentful if you suspect you are being used. Learn to be more decisive and to assert yourself in order to get your own needs met.

In past lives you have only considered your own happiness, with little regard for the needs of others. In this lifetime you will learn to cooperate with others to form egalitarian relationships. By devoting your energy and resources to others, you will learn to develop kindness and understanding. You have a gift for helping others recognize their own self-worth.

You are a deeply philosophical individual, and you hold firm to your beliefs (especially regarding religion and God). Visiting holy places is very uplifting for you, and you would enjoy traveling to foreign lands on spiritual pilgrimages. Although you are inspired to share your religious truths with others, you must remember to allow them to disagree with you without one of you having to be wrong.

Religion was a major influence in your early life (or a major lack). You were probably taught that those who did not share your family's beliefs were unenlightened or uneducated. As an adult, you may question your family's version of the truth and undertake a tireless quest to discover your own truth. You will search for personal meaning in everything you do in life.

You have an extremely sharp and inquisitive mind, and you enjoy solving puzzles or conducting experiments that challenge you intellectually. You believe that all things are possible if you have the right information and the right attitude. You have a wicked sense of humor, and you enjoy sharing it with others in discussions or by writing.

Your relationships with your siblings or early childhood schoolmates have influenced you greatly, either by positive or negative example. You will grow a great deal from these relationships, and so will they. Some people with this Chiron placement have a brother or sister who is handicapped.

This aspect indicates that your mental energy is highly developed and that you can apply it to accomplishing even the most difficult tasks. You are also prone to bursts of anger when others question the validity of your opinions-- which you do not hesitate to state in the strongest possible manner. In fact, you may have a reputation for being argumentative, and this may alienate others.

It is easy for you to find fault with everyone and everything, and at times you can be rude, abusive and totally tactless. You are not a good listener--especially if others' opinions do not agree with your own. Learn to be quiet when you are not sure of your information; otherwise you will be embarrassed by those who have their facts straight.

You have a very active imagination, which you should use to your best advantage. In any career you choose it will be necessary for you to learn to compromise before you can succeed. Learn to recognize and allow for the needs of others; otherwise you will encounter constant obstacles. You must learn to admit it when you are wrong and to be graceful about it when you prove someone else to be wrong. Others will admire you much more for this.

Once you have learned the above lessons, you can succeed in law, teaching, writing, management, public relations, sports, acting or any career involving communication. Just remember to accept your victories in life as gracefully as your defeats.

The same goes for your love life--avoid being bitter or vindictive when your advances are rejected. You may feel that you need a submissive partner, but in truth you would lose respect for anyone who would be so easily conquered. Although it may be difficult for you at first, you need a partner who is not afraid to challenge you to grow up and improve your character.

No matter what sign is on your Ascendant, this contact with Saturn indicates that you are conservative in taste and in behavior. Others see you as being self-disciplined and modest. Those who work with you may find it hard to believe that you are so shy and self-effacing when you obviously are quite competent. You are always the last to see your worth in any area. This lack of confidence in yourself causes you to shy away from competition.

Although you may be slow to build up steam, once you get started you have an excellent chance of attaining the goals you set for yourself. You are willing to work hard for what you want, and you are willing to be patient in order to get it. You are highly responsible, and those close to you know that they can always depend on you. The more experience you gain, the more confidence you will develop in your own abilities. This aspect (as with many Saturn contacts) mellows with age, as you grow to meet the challenges it presents.

Watch your own speech patterns to filter out self-criticism and doubt. Instead, you should learn to love and appreciate yourself more--everyone else does. Even though it is good to be cautious in making decisions in life, it is not good to allow caution to turn to immobilizing fear. Some good advice for you would be: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

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

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

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

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

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

You are a hard worker and know how to best apply your energies to achieve desired results. Since you accept responsibility for your actions, you consider the consequences carefully before making any move. You are adept at using time and effort most efficiently in order that no resources are wasted. Because of all of these characteristics, you can succeed in life more easily than many. Others will respect you for your sincerity and good judgment.

You learned early to take on major responsibilities and handle them--whether this was a result of positive encouragement or response to a negative childhood environment, the end result was the same. You learned to define and to work within your limitations, making the best uses of the resources on hand. Although you are cautious in making decisions, this is not because of fear. When you feel the time is appropriate, you are very courageous about asserting yourself.

You are considerate of others' rights and expect the same in return. You will make wonderful progress if left alone and will brook no interference from anyone. Others who try to interfere with your progress will meet a formidable opponent. Although you are slow to anger, you can be quite vicious with your adversaries.

In your career, you would do well in such fields as archaeology, forestry work, exploration or even military service. You have incredible stamina and would excel in any occupation requiring endurance and hard work. Just be sure not to work all the time, to the exclusion of any leisure time, and take time off to relax. Avoid cold liquids after strenuous physical exercise, for this may result in cramps.

You are very sensitive emotionally, and you are usually shy until you're gotten to know and trust someone. Others are surprised to find that it's easy to hurt your feelings with no more than a few harsh words (at least until you learn to trust them). Quite often, you put your needs aside in order to help someone who is less fortunate. You do your best to live your spiritual ideals, and could excel in fields such as health care, religion, social work or public relations.

Material success is not nearly as important to you as achieving your spiritual and humanitarian goals. In fact, you avoid accumulating excessive belongings, because the responsibility of caring for such stuff restricts your freedom. You are very caring and generous toward others (especially family and loved ones).

Even as a young child, you had a strong interest in metaphysical sciences and the supernatural. You are highly intuitive and may have natural psychic abilities. Once you learn to trust this "sixth sense," you'll find it to be more reliable than depending on your intellect and reason alone to guide you.

Without intending to, you often express yourself with such force that other people misunderstand your meaning or are offended. Your sometimes aggressive nature is nothing more than an attempt to compensate for your lack of confidence, although most people don't realize this. You use flattery to win people over, but they can usually detect your insincerity. As your own worst critic, you continually compare your accomplishments to those of your peers.

It is possible that your education may have been delayed because of more pressing family priorities. If this is the case, you may feel intimidated by competitors who have more education or training. If you are willing to complete your education and work hard to "catch up" with your competitors, you can be as successful as they are. Remember, people can only treat you like an inferior if you feel that they are your superior. The better you feel about yourself, the better others will treat you.

In your love life you must learn to relax and be yourself when you meet new friends and lovers. You project so much nervous energy that this is sometimes all someone sees when they meet you. You send out body language which at times directly conflicts with your verbal message. Ask your partner to pay more attention to your words until you improve your communication skills to bring your verbal and nonverbal messages into agreement. Avoid indulging in gossip or spreading rumors. This could cause serious damage to your relationships.

Relationships often seem too complicated and troublesome to you, and you may prefer to spend much time alone. You find it difficult to meet all of the expectations that others have of you, and you consider it a personal failure whenever you let someone down. Remember that you can't please everyone all the time, and try not to be so hard on yourself. Otherwise, you could become lonely and depressed.

Because you expect others to criticize or reject you, you tend to withdraw emotionally or reject them first. It may seem that they are cold and distant toward you, but in reality they are reacting to the wall of protection that you've built around yourself. If you try taking down the wall, you'll find some wonderful people on the other side.

Although no one enjoys being rejected, very few people have died from it. It's said that "nothing ventured, nothing gained." How will you ever know whether you can succeed unless you risk it?

Even as a child you were a deep thinker, and you may have felt that your interests were entirely different from those of your peers. At a young age you began to question the larger plan of the Universe and to understand its mysteries. Adults may have been surprised that a child so young could have such profound thoughts.

As you mature you develop an incredible ability to concentrate and to do in-depth research. Your mind explores the deepest realms of the unknown, and you are particularly fascinated with the mystical or mysterious. Your bounty of creativity could be the secret to your success, if you will dare develop it.

You would do well in such professions as medicine (especially surgery), research and development, chemistry, criminology or counseling. You also have a talent for handling the assets of others and therefore could do well as an accountant or other financial expert. Since your research skills are impressive, you could be a writer of technical papers or political/social analysis (or you could write mystery novels).

It is usually easy for you to look beyond the outside pretenses of others and to see their inner motivations. In this same way, you are able to size up another's potential and to encourage and support them in developing it. As a role model you will not be pushy, but rather will only give others as much guidance as they can handle--no more, no less.

Others may at times be intimidated by your wisdom and depth of thought and may even consider you to be a "know-it-all." Pluto brings much power into your mental processes; you must learn to control the intensity of it so that others can also have their moments of glory.

This aspect indicates that you are strong-willed, independent and aggressive. You tend to have a hair-trigger temper and find it difficult to compromise with others. As a child you were probably very rebellious toward your parents and insisted that you run your own life. As you mature it would be wise for you to own your own business or otherwise arrange to work alone in your chosen occupation.

You possess a seemingly endless source of energy, and you are constantly on the move. Your friends admire your courage and energy; your enemies consider you pushy and pompous. The truth is that it is largely a front, and inside you are hiding your own inferiority complex. You don't like this inferior side of yourself and have no patience for anyone or anything that you consider to be weak.

Your strongest point is your ability to motivate others to fulfill your ideals. Others see you as independent and self-confident and are willing to work hard for you if you will lead them.

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.

Your emotions (the Moon) and your ego (the Sun) are diametrically opposed to each other, and this results in a conflict between these two sides of yourself. This leads to difficulty in relating to others, as your inner conflict is projected into your relationships. You often act impulsively and then regret it later. It's hard for you to accept life's little failures at first, but you eventually learn that they are the essence of life and learning.

Often your need to assert your own individuality conflicts with your duties and obligations to loved ones. Although you would rather they support your individual expression, they somehow leave you feeling guilty--as though you have abandoned them for your own whimsical pursuits.

You must learn to "cut the cord" with your past and to live in the present. Take charge of defining and achieving your life's goals. Don't wait for opportunity to find its way to your door. Don't pout when things don't work out your way. And remember to take some time out for yourself-- a constantly hectic pace is not healthy for you.

Relationships are very important to you, and you need a partner who understands you (and loves you anyway). Your mate must also be your friend, and he or she must love you deeply and support you in your goals in life. They must be able to inspire you to recognize and develop latent talents and bolster you in times of weakness. Of course, such a person is rare; be willing to give what you need to receive.

This aspect indicates that you are generous, kind, and sympathetic to the needs of others. You are very indulgent with loved ones, even with those who don't appreciate or deserve your generosity. You always manage to see a person's brighter side, no matter how many times they disappoint you. Of course, this allows some people to take advantage of your good nature, and you will have to learn to set limits so that this does not become a habit.

As a child, your parents were loving and understanding, and they helped you build a healthy attitude toward relationships. You were not deprived of necessities in your early life, and you developed a belief that you deserve the best. You are self-confident and optimistic, and for this reason others enjoy being around you. You prefer to spend your time having fun and socializing rather than working hard at a boring job that does not allow for self-expression.

It is essential that you choose a career which you enjoy. Your vivacious personality could be a real asset in a job such as public relations, social director, teacher, counselor for kids, or travel. Since you are so optimistic and excited about learning, you are a wonderful role model for children and inspire them to express themselves creatively. They will also appreciate your sense of humor.

You have a positive attitude about sex and find it to be a major source of happiness for you. You are self-confident enough to experiment with your partner, and playful enough to not take embarrassing moments too seriously. With this aspect in your chart, you have no shortage of potential partners. You will have to be discriminating enough to choose those who are right for you.

You often encounter negative reactions from others who are offended by you, even though you did not intend to be offensive. You can come on too strong, and no matter what words you are using to communicate, this causes others to doubt your honesty and sincerity. People do not react negatively to what you say or do, but rather to your attitude. You tend to blame others for their negative reactions and in general have difficulty looking at yourself and your attitude objectively.

If you want to win the approval of others, just be willing to openly and honestly be yourself. It is your tendency to "try too hard" that results in your apparent pushiness. Give others around you a chance to be the initiators in your relationships (at least sometimes). It is difficult for you to compromise, and you usually do so only when given no other choice.

The positive side of this aspect is that it gives you the ability to endure opposition and stress. You learned early in life that the best person to depend on for your success is you. You may tend to withdraw from others or to totally immerse yourself in your career pursuits. Try to see your "failures" as mere lessons in life rather than as catastrophes.

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.

Since you were a small child, you've had the ability to communicate very clearly with others. Because you become emotionally involved in every discussion, you can strongly convey your meaning to others on many levels.

Your ideas and feelings may seem so important to you that you are in danger of forgetting that other people are entitled to different opinions. Try not to take everything so personally, and remember that others believe their feelings are important too.

At times you may find that you think a lot about your past, either with fond nostalgia or with bitter regret. If you find yourself lamenting missed opportunities, just remind yourself that you cannot go back in time, only forward. Use the energy you'd waste worrying to plan a better future for yourself.

You are highly motivated and have a knack for mobilizing your resources and others to bring about needed improvements. Others are inspired by your vitality, and for this reason you make a powerful leader. You are more inspired by higher purpose than by your position of power, however, as you deplore those who worship and abuse power.

Your uncanny ability to see through the pretenses of others and to identify the root causes of complex problems may at times threaten others, but once they see that you do not intend to abuse this ability, they can trust and follow you. Your heightened sense of perception and intuition enable you to function well in a time of crisis.

One of your natural talents is the skill for handling others' resources. You would do well in a career which involved financing, account management or trusts. Your deductive mind and perceptive abilities also make you an ideal candidate for work as a psychologist, surgeon, researcher or criminal investigator. You will do well in any job which requires you to restore order to chaos by locating the problem and then (like a surgeon) skillfully removing it. You are a natural born healer on many levels.

Traditionally, this aspect indicates the likelihood of your receiving an inheritance or some other windfall which results through the efforts of others. You will most likely do well for yourself on your own, however, if you can combine your enormous creative power with your spiritual motivation and sense of purpose.

Your deep inner strength is evident to others who do not share the same quality, and you may find that many come to you for advice and guidance. Quite often, you are able to help someone who is in a crisis situation, and you very much enjoy assisting them. Just remember that everyone is entitled to reject as well as accept your advice. Don't get too attached to solving other people's problems. Ultimately, they are responsible for their own lives.

With your natural talent for solving mysteries, you would do well in any career involving research, law, psychology, investigation, or social reform. You have the ability to see through a person's outer pretenses and discover their true motivations. For this reason (and because people tend to trust and confide in you), you would make an excellent supervisor.

Whatever you do in your profession, it is important to you that you are doing something that will help to improve society and the world in general. The more people whose lives you can touch and help change for the better, the happier you will be.

You are a very strong-willed individual, and you will stop at nothing to get what you want. Although you usually achieve the results you desire, you don't always get the results you need. This is mostly because you are impatient and want immediate gratification. Often patience is the key to achieving maximum return on your investments.

Throughout your entire life, you've had difficulties with authority (beginning with your parents). You feel compelled to prove to them that they have no power over you (although they sometimes do). Just be sure that your displays of independence don't cost you more than they're worth.

To others you often appear to be aggressive or even downright pushy. At times, it may seem that you pick fights just for the challenge involved. As you mature, you'll find other ways to build your self-confidence that don't include conflict. Then you'll be amazed at how much more you'll accomplish in life.

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 extremely sensitive. Your many friends are from varied walks of life, and you have a gift for relating to them all freely. You are not quick to judge others, and you try to appreciate the good that everyone has to offer. Others see you as tolerant and sympathetic.

Although you understand that the world is in need of much change, you prefer to offer your time and efforts to those who need them, rather than attempt to change the system. You offer your assistance freely and with good intentions, and you are truly hurt and disappointed if it is not accepted.

Because of your high level of sensitivity and changeability, you can easily adapt to most careers. You enjoy dealing directly with the public, and you would do particularly well working in an establishment which emphasized relaxation, such as a travel agency, resort, etc. You also have talent for writing and drama, as well as creative ability for arts and crafts.

Although you are willing to work in the midst of squalor and suffering, you never lose sight of the ideal you are striving to accomplish. For this reason you will take on tasks that others avoid.

You are careful to choose a lover who meets your standards in a relationship. You can often sense the needs of your lover and are a gentle and thoughtful lover. This allows you to become very close with your partner.

You have a highly active imagination, which comes in handy solving the daily problems of life. Your intuition allows you to see difficulties in a larger perspective, which enhances ease of solution. You have a strong respect for knowledge and an insatiable curiosity. In addition, you have a natural ability to learn from your experiences and to see the hidden truth in all situations.

In a career you would do well as a writer, journalist, teacher, healer, artist or social worker. You are naturally artistic and sensitive to the needs of others. No matter what field you choose, you will do well in any job which requires good communication skills. You deal well with people on a day-to-day basis.

Getting an education is important in order for you to take full advantage of your many talents and creative abilities. If you are properly trained in the use of these natural skills, you will surely succeed. It will help if you set concrete goals early in life and work slowly toward them, avoiding distraction along the way.

In your personal life you are warm and loving and see your relations with others in a philosophical way. You are idealistic in that you want the world to be the best possible place, but you don't expect individuals in your life to live up to an unrealistic ideal. You highly respect those who are at least trying for self-betterment.

You have been greatly influenced by people and events from your early life, especially by your mother. Since you depend on emotional support from her, you will be more likely to succeed if your relationship with your mother is a good one. Otherwise, you may have difficulty achieving your goals due to psychological hangups such as insecurity and lack of self-confidence. You are a creature of habit, so attitudes which you form early in life are likely to stick with you and will be difficult to change.

It is likely that you will receive a great deal of help and encouragement from women, especially female relatives. Avoid a tendency to become lazy and expect the world to provide for your needs. If you can combine the assistance from others with some plain old-fashioned hard work and good planning, you will have a greater chance for success.

With your extreme sensitivity to the feelings of others, you could succeed in jobs requiring a great deal of human contact. You would gain the most satisfaction from a career which allows you to be sympathetic, nurturing and caring toward others, such as a profession in food services or in providing products for the home. Since you are highly intuitive, you could also excel in public relations or advertising. You may also travel a great deal in connection with your profession.

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.

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.

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.

Abundant planets in the houses of life gives you both the energy and the urge to create the future. By your activities, you make the world a better place. You may be somewhat self-centered, but with your crusading spirit you move the world towards the ideals that you envision.

You live on the surface of things, afraid to look within at what you really feel and want. Perhaps your position is too precarious or the obligations too great to allow yourself this luxury. You feel forced to maintain your personal status quo. You come across to others as unfeeling. Because personal feelings do not distract you, you might make a good scientist, though be aware that the greatest scientists let intuitive feelings be their guide.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

In your chart, the planets are distributed in a balanced manner between the angular, succedent, and cadent houses. If there is any imbalance in the placements of the planets in the zodiac sign modalities, this will help to offset that imbalance. You are able to strike a healthy balance between facing challenges, enjoying life, and listening to others.
