Introduction

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

Planets in Signs

 

Sun in Aries

 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the newborn consciousness. Natives of this sign often retain qualities associated with youth--such as innocence and naivete-- throughout their lives. Like an infant, Aries is conscious only of his or her own needs. These people demand immediate satisfaction of their needs and will throw "temper tantrums" if they don't get it.

 

This may seem very selfish, but look again. Also like a child, Aries is quick to reward those who serve them with warm smiles and special favors. They are not even aware that they are causing any inconvenience to anyone. And this innocence serves to mask his or her aggressiveness.

 

Again like a baby, Aries people seem to be fearless but are in fact very vulnerable. Even after getting burned these people will forget the hurt and go back to try again, always believing that this time will be different. What you see is what you get with Aries, and the only "smooth" thing about them is their ability to handle a crisis unruffled. They will be outspoken and honest with you, and they are also willing to fight for what they believe in. But you may never see them shed a tear; they'd rather die than be caught being "weak" (especially the men).

 

The Ram is also endlessly optimistic, daring and enterprising. Often he or she feels committed to some mission in life, usually supporting the underdog or promoting social change. They can be very effective in such endeavors because they won't let anyone stop them from attaining their goals. The lesson for Aries is to realize their personal goals and also cultivate some humility and diplomacy (like someone else who is believed to have been born under the sign of Aries--Joan of Arc).

 

Another challenge for Aries is to learn to use love wisely. Instead of using others' love for you to manipulate them to serve you, give love to others selflessly, expecting nothing in return. This is the point where the baby grows up, leaving behind the egocentric and demanding infant.

 

Most Aries receive a head injury at some time in their lives, usually incurred as a result of their own rash behavior. Physically, problem areas include the knees, stomach and skin. He or she may also be subject to dental problems, migraine headaches and kidney diseases. Natives of this sign should definitely avoid alcohol.

 

 

Moon in Aquarius

 

With your Moon in Aquarius you are highly imaginative and should direct this energy into creative channels. You are very open-minded about the changing trends in society and can adapt quite easily.

 

Most of all you love to shock others with your opinions, which often violate taboos. You can see the need for old arbitrary restrictions to be cast aside. Freedom is very important to you, but you must sometimes remember to extend the same freedom to your partner.

 

You are a mixture of radical thought and conservative action and are sometimes plagued by anxiety and tension. Often you take on others' problems or causes without getting anything in return.

 

In relationships you seek a person who is somewhat unusual. You look for a companion who can share many interests with you. In business you need a stable partner who can make good practical use of your creative imagination and keep you grounded. Metaphysics and occult sciences are also of interest to you.

 

The one drawback of this moon placement is a tendency to gossip and spread rumors. Although this may be done with the best of intentions, you may not enjoy dealing with the consequences when you are identified as the source. Physically, your areas of weakness are varicose veins, eye afflictions and ulcers on your legs.

 

 

Mercury in Taurus

 

Although it may take you longer than others to master a concept, once you have done so it becomes a permanent part of you. You have many interests and want to absorb every detail you can about them all. While you may read theories in books, you will learn best by actually applying them in material form. You appreciate good craftsmanship and have the patience to acquire such skills yourself. Although you appreciate beauty for its own sake, you always look for a practical application for everything.

 

With Mercury in Taurus you are highly intuitive, yet intellectually grounded. You appreciate art, romance and the finer things in life, and you will share your good fortune with loved ones. Being sight-oriented, you get more enjoyment from reading a book than listening to a lecture. You are not a good listener and have a talent for tuning out unwanted and intrusive sounds as if they didn't exist. It is difficult for you to learn to put the needs of others before your own. If this is the case, one of your greatest lessons in this life will be to overcome self-absorption.

 

With your shrewd business mind and common sense, you could be a good manager. Your mind is strong enough to endure challenges, and you are stubborn enough to insist that regulations be followed to the letter. Since you love to accumulate material possessions, you should resist the temptation to be greedy. You express affection for your partner in a touching and loving manner.

 

 

Venus in Gemini

 

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.

 

 

Mars in Aries

 

You have both an active mind and an active lifestyle. You are very enthusiastic about life and want to live every moment to the fullest. With Mars in its home sign, Aries, you often act without thinking through all of the consequences and can therefore be rash and impulsive. This can even result in injuries (especially to the head).

 

With Mars in Aries, you are not known for your patience. You are also lacking in self-control and may feel at times that you couldn't help yourself. Try to develop more sympathy and understanding for others in your life. This will result in fewer power struggles and altercations.

 

You have a direct approach to romance and lovemaking, and you need a partner who does not require a great deal of courting and who will not mind that you are most often the initiator in your relationship. You are eager to get to the physical part of lovemaking and should be careful not to leave your partner behind emotionally once you get involved. The lessons you need to learn are self-restraint and patience.

 

Be careful not to act rashly and impulsively in making commitments in love relationships. Also, be sure to get all sides of the story and think things over carefully before acting in anger. Otherwise, you may regret it when you calm down.

 

 

Jupiter in Aries

 

You have an over-abundance of energy and physical stamina, and you enjoy an active lifestyle (although you don't always think things through before acting). With your optimistic lifestyle, you take on challenges others would avoid because you believe you cannot fail. You can inspire others with your bubbly enthusiasm. You don't mind hard work, but you don't like taking orders. For this reason, persons with Jupiter in Aries are often self-employed.

 

 

Saturn in Pisces

 

You are very intuitive and highly imaginative. You are tolerant of the shortcomings of others. Peace and quiet are necessary for your peace of mind, and you may prefer to spend much of your time alone. You may vacillate between emotional overreaction and cold rationalism, or you may encounter these extremes in your relations with others. One of your greatest challenges is to avoid a gloomy, depressed disposition. You cannot save the world and must learn to tell the difference between your problems and those of your loved ones.

 

 

Uranus in Virgo

 

(1961-1969)

 

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

 

 

Neptune in Scorpio

 

(1955-1970)

 

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

 

 

Pluto in Virgo

 

(1956-1972)

 

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

 

 

North Node in Cancer

 

You have spent many lifetimes accumulating wealth and managing others. Although you achieved material success and gained the respect of your peers, you did so without regard for the needs of others. During this lifetime you feel compelled to succeed in order to regain the respect you once had. You control your emotions very well and are not easy to get close to. Although you may feel others are neglecting you, you have put up a wall to keep them away. Your challenge is to give nourishment as well as receive it.

 

 

Chiron in Pisces

 

You are highly sensitive and intuitive, and probably have keen psychic abilities. With your strong sense of compassion, healing comes naturally to you, and you may enter a career in the healing arts. In your personal and professional lives, you tend to take on the feelings of those around you, and at times it may be necessary for you to get away and find alone time to "find yourself" again.

 

You are highly idealistic, and you have a sincere desire to somehow help make the world a better place. You truly want to see the best in everyone and everything, and for this reason you can sometimes be misled or deceived. Be willing to question the truth of what someone tells you if your intuition tells you something is not right. Listen to your inner guidance, and you will always appreciate the underlying lessons in life's daily events.

 

 

 

 

Planets in Aspect

 

Moon square Mercury (Strength: 06.29)

 

You are very sentimental with loved ones and prized possessions. You often feel unappreciated, no matter how much you try to please those you love. In a way, this is a selfish attitude. You need to do things for others without expecting an equal return. You can get too wrapped up in yourself.

 

Your judgment is not always sound because you allow your feelings to interfere with your clear thinking. It is impossible for you to be impartial on anything, because you are overly sensitive. Fact and fiction seem to blend together at times and are hard for you to separate. You may have misunderstandings with others because of your paranoia about not being accepted.

 

Once you have learned to deal with these parts of yourself, you will be able to relate to others more easily and establish sound relationships. You would work well with children, as a teacher or counselor.

 

You don't like to be criticized and often feel that others are putting you down. Before reacting to this supposed criticism, examine whether in fact you are only being asked to back up your emotions with logic.

 

You are much more secure with those close to you than with strangers or new friends. You get along well at home but do not make outside friends easily. You don't like to have to adjust your life to accommodate others. You are stubborn and defiant when your opinions are challenged. Relax! The world is not against you. Try giving some of the sympathy and understanding that you are seeking.

 

 

Mercury trine Uranus (Strength: 05.86)

 

You are on a campaign for self-improvement. Your outer life is in harmony with your inner values, otherwise you would not be happy in life. You have your own set of spiritual values, and you understand occult matters. Most likely you are very intuitive and have psychic abilities. You are fascinated by the unexplained, and you seek the truth behind these occurrences.

 

You act with self-confidence and speak what is on your mind. Occupations in the fields of: teaching, scientific research, philosophy, psychology or social programs would be satisfying to you. You are a natural leader and can inspire others to develop their own potential.

 

In love relationships you have a natural feel for what will work and what won't work. Your lover may also provide moral support and help motivate you to act on your many good ideas. Or you may take your lover's innovative ideas and refine them into practical suggestions.

 

 

Moon sextile Mars (Strength: 04.57)

 

Others find you quite charming and are charged by your vitality and high energy level. Your circle of friends is a wide one, and you generally enjoy warm friendships with those close to you. People find you pleasant to be around and are inspired by your enthusiasm for life. You are able to learn from your mistakes and to remain optimistic about the future.

 

You have an explosive temper when provoked and are generally impulsive in your reactions to others. Because you know this about yourself, you are very careful to control your feelings at least until you have come to a logical conclusion regarding the situation. An emotional outburst seems to be your way of "clearing the air," and once the storm has passed all trespasses are forgotten and forgiven. You don't generally hold a grudge.

 

Because you are aware of your tendency to react emotionally to others and have therefore learned to use logic first, you would do well in the field of public relations. You are sensitive enough to be sympathetic to others, yet you are able to be logical in your reaction. If you feel your rights are challenged, you will fight vigorously to defend them.

 

Your home life is a source of joy and pleasure and provides a safe haven away from the pressures of your career. Learn to leave your work at the office and enjoy relaxing at home with loved ones. Do not eat when you are angry.

 

 

Venus square Saturn (Strength: 04.52)

 

It is not easy for you to relate well with others, and this may hinder your social relationships. In truth, you don't want to deal with the responsibility of a close personal relationship. This causes you to become defensive with those you love--you are afraid of the demands they will make upon you. This can be traced to an early rejection in life--possibly by a parent. Because of this rejection you built walls around yourself in order to avoid further hurt.

 

Perhaps you feel that you were not meant to enjoy happy relationships in your life. But if you will learn to accept others as they are and are willing to compromise, you can achieve social and domestic happiness. There is nothing different about experiencing difficulties in relating to others. Everyone goes through times of trouble--you are not alone in this.

 

Once you have learned to make concessions in your dealings with others, you will see that others are willing to do so. Your greatest lessons in life will be achieved through making adjustments to others. After all, everyone has their own idiosyncrasies to deal with--even you. Cultivate a more positive attitude toward life instead of feeling sorry for yourself. Otherwise, you will suffer physically from tension and anxiety through high blood pressure or other illnesses. Give of yourself instead of complaining about others' demands of you.

 

If you are to be successful in your career, you must learn to deal more easily with others. You can achieve great heights in this area if you are willing to compromise and accept others' shortcomings. You could succeed in a career in law, banking, insurance, real estate, or designing. You are well organized and exercise good judgment in your work. All you need to ensure success is to build up your own self-esteem. Others will admire your honesty and integrity.

 

In your love life you must learn to avoid destructive relationships. Approach your love affairs more realistically--don't expect too much of those you love. This sets you up for disappointment and convinces you that you are not destined for happiness in love. However, this can become a self-fulfilling prediction. Learn to enjoy your lover without making judgments or criticisms.

 

 

Moon trine Venus (Strength: 02.86)

 

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.

 

 

Venus square Uranus (Strength: 02.43)

 

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.

 

 

Sun inconjunct Neptune (Strength: 01.96)

 

You are lacking in self-confidence and constantly seek new ways to prove your competence both to yourself and to others. It appears to you that your burdens in life are harder to carry than anyone else's. The reason for this is that you take on everyone else's problems too. In serving others' needs, you use up your own energies.

 

People can convince you to help them by insisting that no one else can solve their problem but you. You are a soft touch and should be careful not to get stuck doing more than your fair share of work on the job.

 

Since you're going to spend your life helping others anyway, you may as well get paid for it. A career in social services, hospitals, counseling (especially group therapy), medical research and rehabilitation would be very satisfying to you. You will always choose a job that is very demanding; just be sure you do only your share and not everyone else's too.

 

You tend to form associations with others who will take advantage of you. Just remember, these people do need you-- much more than you need them. Examine their motivations before deciding that it is your responsibility to help them. Don't let others dump all their problems on you; they can go hire a counselor.

 

 

Mars inconjunct Uranus (Strength: 01.87)

 

You can accomplish much with your great drive and originality, and you will always share your good fortune with others who truly need it. Just be careful that you don't become a martyr to everyone else's cause and forget about taking care of yourself in the process. There are always those who will abuse your generosity if you let them. Learn to recognize these people for who they are and do not let them become "energy sappers." You have enough of your own problems to handle without being expected to take care of everyone else's.

 

Part of the reason you are abused by others in this way is that you already have the misconception that you need to be and do more than anyone else just in order to be considered equal to them. It may seem to you that everyone else has the best talents and ideas and the greatest success, while you struggle to express yourself and to be creative. Just remember that if you focused more attention on developing your extremely original ideas into solid projects instead of constantly taking on the jobs of others, you'd have just as much chance for success as everyone else seems to have.

 

Learn to stand up and face others who will criticize your methods and techniques. When you insist that others allow you to "do your own thing," they will grow to respect you more. You tend to shy away from criticism and have a hard time hearing it without taking it personally. Learn to be proud of your uniqueness and the many differences between you and others. It's what makes you so special.

 

In your personal life you may be insecure about your performance as a lover. You choose powerful mates who can also become domineering. Make every effort to reach agreement with your partner on how to build a comfortable home together. You are a bit picky about your home environment.

 

 

Moon inconjunct Uranus (Strength: 01.44)

 

Your life seems to be composed of one problem after another -- just as you solve one, another surfaces. This may be frustrating, but in the process you become quite skilled in dealing with crises. Learning to solve your emotional problems is what will set you free.

 

You carry a great deal of guilt around with you, and much of this can be traced back to your parental conditioning (especially your mother). Perhaps you were expected to bear rather heavy emotional burdens as a child-- burdens for which you were unprepared. So now you carry the guilt of not having lived up to your parents' expectations.

 

Like your parents, other people in your life may prevail upon you to solve their problems, insisting that no one else can do it but you. Just remember that this is not at all true and that they can always find someone else.

 

You are very sensitive emotionally and could become ill if forced to endure a stressful or distressing situation. Nervous ailments are common under these conditions, caused by the building pressure of the burdens you carry. Learn to say "no" when necessary and reserve your energy to solve your own problems. Rest and relaxation are absolutely essential to your health.

 

The best occupations for you would involve service to others: medicine, research and development, social work, and counseling. You will be able to fulfill your need to serve others through such jobs and will find them highly satisfying.

 

Be careful not to become a martyr or servant in your love relationships. It is possible that you may marry young in order to escape problems in your parents' home. Whatever you do, avoid feeling guilty about it later. It all contributed to making you who you are today.

 

 

Jupiter sextile Saturn (Strength: 01.32)

 

You are highly intelligent and well-informed and therefore are blessed with vast resources of information. Your level of comprehension is high, so that you can literally absorb information everywhere you go. It usually turns out that you find valuable uses for this information later, to everyone else's surprise.

 

Because of your natural abilities in planning, your chances for success are high. You are highly creative in using the multitude of resources available to you in order to achieve your goals. You pay close attention to all details when planning your strategies in life, and you are willing to work hard and wait patiently for what you want.

 

It is important to you that you continue to grow in life; you constantly seek new ways to do so. You are willing to try most anything once--as long as it's legal and ethical--if you think it will have a beneficial outcome. Whatever you choose to do, you will have a reputation for being honest and reliable.

 

You could excel in such careers as law, education, journalism, teaching, politics, or social reform. You live life by your philosophies, which include justice and true equal opportunity for all. Government corruption angers you, and you may feel compelled to do something about it. You could easily do this, because you would be sure you had gathered all necessary information and thoroughly researched the matter before attempting a confrontation.

 

Young children enjoy your stories about your life and about history in general. You can make the past come alive for them in a dramatic way. They can see that you are concerned about society and feel strongly about each person's responsibility as a member of the whole. Children are inspired by you, and you can offer them a different philosophical perspective while at the same time being a good academic teacher.

 

You set the greatest example for others by the way you live your life. There is a certain wisdom and understanding about you which attracts those who are ready to share in it with you.

 

 

Saturn opposite Uranus (Strength: 00.95)

 

This aspect indicates that you have difficulty relating to others. This is partly because you are highly competitive, and partly because you often mistake your friends' concern for interference in your life.

 

It is very important to you that you be free to express yourself in your own way. At times, however, you expect to receive respect and privileges that you have not yet earned. In your career, for example, you may try to start out at the top. This only encourages others, especially coworkers, to look for an opportunity to thwart your plans, even if only to "knock the chip off your shoulder." While the ability to compete is an admirable one, an even greater talent is the ability to know when to cooperate. With this aspect, this is one of your challenges in life.

 

You could do well in fields such as research, mathematics, and other sciences. There is no question that you are talented and qualified, but you will never have a chance to succeed and use your talents if, on your way up, you alienate others such as employers and coworkers. You are likely to encounter many "teachers" outside of conventional classrooms who will help you gain enlightenment from your seeming "failures" in life. Until you gain some humility, you will be unable to learn the best lessons. It's very difficult to open your mind to learn new things when you think you know everything already.

 

In your love life, you should seek a partner who is both stable and impulsive. Be sure to include excitement and new discoveries in your relationship. Otherwise, you will seek release of your pent-up desires through unexpected love affairs or the break-up of relationships.

 

 

Uranus conjunct Pluto (Strength: 00.37)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

Venus sextile Mars (Strength: 00.29)

 

You are a very affectionate person, but you don't manifest this quality with anyone other than those you know well. You understand that each relationship has to involve a mutual give and take arrangement and are therefore fairly easy to get along with. You try to develop yourself to your fullest potential and admire the same quality in others.

 

Your favorite friendships are those which have lasted for years. This does not mean you are in constant touch with these people, but they know you are their friend nonetheless. You can sometimes wax nostalgic and seem to remember the good memories more than the bad.

 

You enjoy surrounding yourself with beauty and art and appreciate good music, books and social contacts. You would do quite well in a job that brings you in contact with people on a personal level (such as public relations). You have a ready smile and a positive outlook on life that is infectious.

 

You could find a life-mate who will work with you to achieve much material success in life. Your relationships always teach you something, whether they are "successful" or not.

 

Be careful in spending money and don't live "beyond your means." You want to surround yourself with beauty, but be sure you can afford it. Learn to conserve what you have and make do when necessary.

 

 

Mercury trine Pluto (Strength: 00.23)

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Balance of Elements and Modalities

 

Abundant Fire

 

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.

 

 

Lack of Water

 

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.

 

 

Balanced Sign Modalities

 

In your chart, the planets are distributed in a balanced manner between the Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable modalities. Ability to act and survive in the world is balanced with inner insight. You stick to your values and principles at the same time that you react quickly and adapt to changes. You have the ability to listen as well as to lead. You enjoy life, but also do not shrink from facing challenges.
